Chapter 31: Okay, I Believe in You
In the entire hunting ground, with Chu Xingyue's sonorous and powerful voice, everyone looked at the slender figure who knelt on the ground and asked Emperor Showa to fight as if they had lost their words.
No one could believe that such a slender and petite person would dare to say what he had just said.
However, after thinking that she was from the Chu family, it seemed reasonable that Chu Xingyue would do this. After all, even though she married into the royal family and enjoyed glory and wealth, she was always Chu Yi's daughter.
Emperor Showa frowned deeply and looked at Chu Xingyue kneeling below, his gaze slowly brushing over her face like a steel brush.
It wasn't that he didn't see that the reason why she should compete with Mukcha was forced by circumstances, but if she lost, the consequences would only be worse.
As he grew older, he no longer wanted to see another war on the border, so he was so ecstatic when the Northern Mongolian Mission sent in to repair the paperwork, and even revealed the meaning of being cautious everywhere.
However, he was even more reluctant to lose the face of Great Wei in front of the Northern Mongolian people.
It's not that he doesn't know that Beimeng has not dared to come to the border again in these years, and the biggest reason is Chu Yi; Chu Xingyue is Chu Yi's only daughter, if she wins, Chu Yi wins, and if she loses, Chu Yi loses.
Her every move has long been related to the safety of the world. It's okay to say if you win, but if you lose, this matter will spread to Beimeng, I am afraid that it will make those Beimeng people who are already thieves resurrect again, and at that time, Qingzhou may have no peace at all.
Emperor Showa felt extremely stressed, and his eyes pressed heavily on Chu Xingyue's slender body, as if in the next second, his heavy eyes could crush that slender figure.
The already tense atmosphere also reached an impasse with Emperor Showa's silence, and everyone breathed together, constantly looking back and forth on Chu Xingyue and Emperor Showa, not knowing if Emperor Showa would agree to Chu Xingyue's request next.
At this time, Zhao Ling, who had been standing behind Chu Xingyue, suddenly knelt down and saluted, and said to Emperor Showa: "Father, the son is willing to guarantee with the head of the Xiang, Bingyue will definitely win in this hunting ground battle, and I also ask my father for permission." β
Zhao Ling's resignation was like thunder on the ground, and it immediately exploded on the hunting ground.
The crowd who was holding their breath and waiting for the verdict of the Son of Heaven broke out into a strong uproar, and they discussed the meaning of Zhao Ling's words.
It was unbelievable that King Ling actually bet his life on order for Emperor Showa to agree to Chu Xingyue's competition.
Chu Xingyue was also taken aback by Zhao Ling's words, and turned her head to look at the guy who was kneeling with her and going crazy, "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Zhao Ling's eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see the depths of her soul, and after looking at her quietly for a moment, he said, "Of course this king knows what he is talking about, Chu Bingyue, this king has handed over his life to you." β
Although Chu Xingyue was very confident in his plan, seeing him like this at this moment, his confidence actually began to waver, and he was about to push him up by holding his arm.
"Quick, tell my father that what you just said is false and cannot be counted."
"Can you be the emperor of Wei at will?" Looking at the girl who suddenly began to make stupid mistakes, Zhao Ling smiled and put his hand on the top of her head: "As long as you win, I can live, right?" β
"But......" Chu Xingyue almost bit her tongue in a hurry.
Usually, this kid is a smart looker, everything is in order, and there are rules everywhere, but today, he is the stupidest one in the audience.
Did he know how many times she had really tried to kill him? And what about him? but he gave her his life.
Seeing that Chu Xingyue's face had changed a few times, Zhao Ling raised his head to look at the blue sky above him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yue'er, how about this king make a bet with you?" β
"Bet on what? Can I win a bet? "It's all at this time, he's still making stupid mistakes, and he's using a naΓ―ve look on his face.
Zhao Ling smiled at Chu Xingyue: "Bet on your heart." β
"What?"
"Bet that you will not be willing to leave me from this day on, reluctant to betray me, and reluctant to put me to death again."
Chu Xingyue looked at the sincere and calm smile on Zhao Ling's face stupidly, had anyone ever told him how beautiful and ...... he was when he smiled like this
β¦β¦ Reluctant
Not daring to face such a Zhao Ling, Chu Xingyue hurriedly lowered her head, and the fingers hidden under the cultivation were clenched into fists, and in the light of her eyes, a look of firmness appeared.
Emperor Showa looked at Zhao Ling, who was kneeling with Chu Xingyue, and a pair of dragon eyes finally closed slowly with a sigh.
He suddenly felt very tired, and the fat flesh on his body weighed him down so that he could hardly breathe; Never mind! What else could he do in such a situation?
He had no other choice than to respond to Chu Xingyue's invitation to fight.
Emperor Showa waved his hand, and said slowly in a voice that seemed to suddenly become much older: "Princess Ling, I agree with you to compete with the Northern Mongolian vanguard general Mukcha Hunting Ground!" β
As Emperor Showa's voice settled, the scene erupted in applause and cheers.
Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Xi and the others who were encouraging the crowd to throw burning eyes and warm applause at her, and also smiled.
Mukcha was definitely the one who was most excited, and today, he was finally able to see how exquisite Chu Yi's archery technique should be.
"Princess Ling, the Great Wei Emperor has promised us to compete in the hunting grounds, and now General Ben wants to hear about these three competitions, how are you going to compete."
Everyone looked at Chu Xingyue with eager eyes, you know, this is the most interesting battle since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.
One is the Northern Mongolian warrior, the other is the daughter of Humen, and the two people who seem to be strong and weak are playing very seriously; Such an interesting contest can definitely be called the most impressive thing of this spring hunting trip.
Many people are secretly saying that this spring hunt is really worth the trip.
Chu Xingyue looked at the eagerness on Mukcha's face, and said, "The archery competition is a three-game competition." The first game is called 100 steps through Yang, that is, the arrow target and 100 meters away, there are three shooting opportunities, and the three times are all in the heart, win! β
"Okay, that's it."
"The second game is called Bai Hongguang." Chu Xingyue poured out three copper coins from the purse he carried with him and displayed them in front of Mukcha: "If someone throws three copper coins in the air, and the arrow passes through the hollow in the middle of the copper coin, he wins." β
"This is interesting, is it also a three-game game?"
Chu Xingyue smiled confidently, shook her index finger at Mukcha, and said, "No, this is only a game, but one game, it will be eliminated directly." β
"Hahahaha-" Mukcha laughed: "Now, I finally believe that you are Chu Yi's daughter, and only his children dare to say such arrogant words in front of this general." Okay, I'm supposed to play the second game, now you can say what is the third game? β
Chu Xingyue sold Guan Zi in front of Mu Kecha: "As for the third game, this princess has to wait until the end of the two rounds to talk about it, because this princess is worried that General Mu may not survive the third game; But, for the sake of your curiosity, I can give you a hint that the third game is the most interesting. β
Mu Kecha's excited eyes were about to turn green when he looked at Chu Xingyueshen's chattering appearance, and he saw him wave his long arm, and then said to Emperor Showa: "Your Majesty Great Wei, General Ben and Princess Ling have agreed on the rules of the game, please give an order, let's start." β
Emperor Showa was still wilting, raised his eyes and swept Chu Xingyue's smiling face, and his voice was lazy: "Come on, prepare all the things that the general and the princess will test, let's start." β
β¦β¦
Because this hunting ground competition represents a great significance, even if it is held in a hurry, both the arrows and the arrow target are ready at a very fast speed.
Chu Xingyue had already changed out of the exquisite silver-white riding clothes on her body under Chunxing's service, but instead wore a red short dress, her long black hair was still combed into a ponytail, and she just took off the gorgeous forehead wipe, revealing a smooth and full forehead.
Dressed like this, she looks like a male and female ranger, and her gestures are chic and casual.
Walking to the table with hard bows and long arrows, Chu Xingyue swept them in turn, but she was not in a hurry to choose a weapon.
But Mukcha, he is the first warrior in Northern Mongolia, and the Northern Mongolian people are the best at bending bows and archery, I saw him pick up a hard bow with a pulling force of at least 100 catties at random, and easily pulled the bowstring.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xi and Chunxing, who were surrounding Chu Xingyue, both gasped for Chu Xingyue.
Although Zhao Xi didn't look down on Mukcha's rudeness, he secretly admired his kung fu; Thinking of Chu Xingyue's thin arms and legs, he couldn't help but open his mouth nervously.
"Third sister-in-law, are you sure you can win this kid? You can also see that a hard bow with a ten-pound pull force is like playing cotton to him, and I am afraid that only the third brother can handle this kind of kung fu. Zhao Xi swallowed his saliva uneasily: "If you lose, the third brother's life will be confessed here." β
Although Chun Xing was also worried, she would not sing down in advance like Zhao Xi, and glared at Zhao Xi, who was more prestigious, and glared at Zhao Xi, who was more prestigious, and said: "Lord Xi, if you think my young lady is not good, you can go back to the pergola and sit and watch the play, why bother to come here and say these words to disturb the young lady's heart." β
"Chunxing, what you said is not right, as the so-called loser does not lose, even if the third sister-in-law is a little weaker, as her most beloved uncle, I have to stay and cheer her up."
Chun Xing's eyes were white, and Zhao Xi, who was used to being flamboyant, turned around and was about to comfort Chu Xingyue, but Chu Xingyue snatched her words: "Chun Xing, Lao Qi, I know that you are worried about me, don't worry, since I should fight this battle, I will do my best; Okay, you two don't hang around here, let's go back to the pergola and sit down. β
Chun Xing was reluctant to look at Chu Xingyue: "Miss, let's let the slave maid accompany you." β
"Oh, didn't you hear the third sister-in-law asking us to leave?"
Zhao Xi was very clever, and immediately understood Chu Xingyue's thoughts: "Let's accompany her here, maybe we can't help and cause trouble for her; Okay, let's go, let's go to the pergola and call everyone to cheer for the third sister-in-law. β
Seeing Chun Xing being reluctantly pulled away by Zhao Xi, Chu Xingyue could only smile helplessly and shake her head.
"Don't look at this king, this king's life is in your hands, and this king will not leave here." Suddenly seeing Chu Xingyue looking towards him, Zhao Ling immediately expressed his position.
Looking at the look of vigilance for fear that she would drive him away, Chu Xingyue's eyes flashed with a soft light: "Well, I won't let you go." β
"Okay, since that's the case, then you just listen to the king, and you can do your best in the archery competition later, if you can't win......"
"I'm going to win." Chu Xingyue said in a solemn voice: "Believe me, I will definitely win." β
As a person who practiced martial arts, how could Zhao Ling not know that Chu Xingyue was not Mu Kecha's opponent at all, but looking at her determined look, he couldn't help but say a word to refute her, but even his eyebrows softened.
"Well, I believe you."
