Chapter 49: Winning or Losing

Royal Hunting Grounds.

After the emperor gave the order, someone immediately brought a horse to the third prince Bai Lichen and the Fanbang warrior, Bai Lichen's face remained unchanged, and he looked very calm and got on the horse.

Mu Qing looked at Bai Lichen, Mu Qing persuaded a few words when he left just now, but obviously Bai Lichen didn't listen at all, just nodded slightly, and didn't know if he understood what she meant.

If something happens to Bai Lichen, won't her position as the third prince be useless, and Bai Lichen has helped her no matter what she says, no matter what, she still doesn't want Bai Lichen to have an accident.

"Really going?"

"No problem."

He only replied with two words softly and left, Mu Qing didn't know what Bai Lichen was thinking, he could only pray that nothing would happen to him.

"...... Don't worry, His Royal Highness Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, so there shouldn't be any problems. ”

Although the maid on the side was so persuasive, it seemed that there was a lot of worry on her face.

"Hmm...... I hope so. ”

Looking at Bai Lichen's appearance on the horse, it didn't look like a raw hand, but Mu Qing didn't have any impression that Bai Lichen had ever shown riding skills in front of her, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

This is true of all of you.

Everyone has their own ghosts, and some people hope that Bailichen can show his strength in front of this state warrior, not only to bring vitality to Baili Country, but also to let people know that His Royal Highness the Third Prince's body has completely recovered, and those who stand on the side of the Three Princes will be useful.

And the prince's eyes became more and more unkind when he looked at his third brother.

He is the one who most wants Bailichen to die in this hunting ground, and for him, Bailichen is his biggest competitor.

Although it is Chen Guifei who is equal to the queen in the harem, Chen Guifei and the Nine Emperor Princes are on Bailichen's side, and Bailichen's lack of appearance in the past is just due to physical reasons.

"Hmph, it looks like you're sick, it's a royal person, if you take the initiative to admit defeat, I'll spare your life, and it won't ruin the harmony between our two countries."

said that it was kind, but the Fanbang warriors had a somewhat arrogant expression on their faces, and they didn't seem to bother to compete with Bailichen.

"Your king is also considerate of you, and he estimates the entire hunting ground, and the warriors of your Fanbang can only compare to a prince like me who is about to die, so he ordered me."

Bai Lichen still had a smile on his face, his words made the vassal king's face a little pale, but it made Baili Guo have a lot of ambition.

"Yes, this emperor of mine was not in good health when he was born, and now I have responded to this competition, which also gives you a little face."

The emperor came back with a round of words, so that if Bailichen lost, Bailiguo would not lose face in front of Fanbang.

He glanced approvingly at the third son.

"The emperor is testing Bailichen."

Mu Qing whispered, but his heart on the side was in a fog.

"Not only the empress, but the emperor also intends to try this son of his own to see what he is like."

The moment he saw the emperor's eyes, Mu Qing was sure that the emperor was indeed deliberately testing this son.

Otherwise, he could have refused the unreasonable demands of Fanbang more strongly, and refused to let his sick prince fight.

Although the crown prince has some skills, he has not had a good reputation for so many years, and he has been disliked by the emperor because of the gangs.

And the queen has never been loved by the emperor, if it weren't for the health of the third prince who has been bad, the emperor would not have cultivated the prince alone.

From this point of view, all the honors and disgraces in the Three Princes' Mansion are on this competition.

The two of them got on the horse one after another, the rules were very simple, two people fought each other on the horse, and if one of them fell first, he would lose the game.

"Then the third prince will invite first."

The warrior of that state snorted coldly, with a joke on his face, determined that this Bailichen could not do anything to himself.

"Really? This warrior has no regrets. ”

Bai Lichen chose the right weapon for himself, which was a spear.

"Naturally, I won't regret it."

The Fanbang warrior waved the big knife in his hand, just rode a horse and stood in place, and waited until the attendant on the side put down the flag, Bailichen suddenly kicked the horse's stomach fiercely, and the horse under his feet rushed out like a fly, and went straight to the warrior of the Fanbang, but in one move, the winner was divided.

The big knife was picked away by the spear and thrown again, and the warrior's neck was pointed at by the spear, and there were already beads of blood coming out, and the big man trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to move.

"Do you want to continue? I am afraid that the strongest warriors of Fanbang will fold in the hunting grounds of our Baili Country today. ”

"Good!"

The Emperor was the first to speak, and he laughed out loud and sighed.

"I didn't expect that the third child's body bones have recovered a lot, it seems that the winner of this competition has already been divided, right? Vassal king? ”

There was a three-point threat in this tone, and the vassal king over there looked at the warrior who came back tremblingly, with a look of chagrin on his face.

He looked at this Bailichen's weak body, and thought that he wanted to give Bailiguo a dismount here, but he didn't expect to put himself in it.

"Thank you for your praise, it's just luck."

Bai Lichen was modest, and as soon as he gave up his hand slightly, he returned to his seat.

Mu Qing on the side was already stunned early in the morning, she thought that maybe Bailichen could win, but she didn't expect to win like this, but in the blink of an eye, the victory or defeat had already been revealed.

"How much are you hiding, how can you ......"

Bai Lichen didn't return to Mu Qing's question, he still looked like he was weak, and even his skin was sickly pale as it was at the beginning.

As the daughter of the prime minister, although Shen Shuang'er was not sitting in the seat as Mu Qing's leaning forward, she also saw this scene.

She didn't expect that Bai Lichen's body had recovered, and she felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, but seeing that Bai Lichen and Mu Qing behaved so closely, the expression on her face was jealousy that she couldn't hide.

If it weren't for Mu Qing's horizontal intervention, the person standing next to Bai Lichen now would be himself......

"You go and do what I say, ...... in a moment"

She raised her hand and called the maid beside her, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"But eldest lady, who is the third princess......"

"What's this, as long as you are cautious, the last thing will not stain my hands, you should not forget, last year, your mother was sick and dying, who lent you money to see a doctor, right? If I ask you to return all the hundred taels of silver to me now, do you think you can do it as a little maid? ”

"Or will you give me back your mother's life?"

Shen Shuang'er sneered, the maid's body trembled, and finally did what she said.

The interest of the vassal king is gone, and there are a lot of rules between words, but the emperor is enthusiastic, and every word is praising Bailichen.

"Back then, the third child was the most outstanding among the princes of me, if it weren't for the fact that his body and bones had not been good, he would not have entered the court for a long time, so let's do it, in a few days, the matter of the defense of the capital will be handed over to you to do, don't let me feel disappointed, understand."

The matter of the defense of the capital......

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face suddenly darkened by half, and his body froze.

When Bai Lichen performed outstandingly, he saw his father's eyes, but he didn't expect that he would directly hand over the matter of the capital defense to Bai Lichen this time.

He originally wanted to meddle in this defense matter so that he could promote some of his subordinates, but the emperor was unwilling to give him full responsibility for this matter, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

It was actually handed over directly to Bailichen!

"Your Majesty!"

The queen's face also changed, and she was about to say something, but she was stopped by Chen Guifei on the side.

"Didn't the queen refute the emperor's face in front of so many people?"

Chen Guifei smiled, the queen's face was full of humiliation, and finally she closed her mouth unwillingly.

Mu Qing really looked at it from the side, and the pattern in this court changed in an instant under the movement of Bailichen's spear.

For so many years, he may not just pretend to be sick, if there is no power in the court, it is impossible for the emperor to still miss his son, who has been sick for more than ten years.

"You're hiding deep enough."

"But Er'er, I want to thank Qing'er, if it weren't for you, the toxins in my body wouldn't have been cleaned up so easily, and I wouldn't have had this opportunity today."

Bai Lichen would only call Mu Qingqing when he was in front of outsiders, but now he called out again, the tips of Mu Qing's ears were slightly red, and she just thought that Bai Lichen was just playing tricks on her.

It just so happened that at this time, a maid came over to deliver the wine, and Mu Qing didn't look at what kind of wine it was, so in order to hide his embarrassment, he took a sip and went in.

"What kind of wine is this, and how does it taste weird."

Mu Qing frowned, although it was peach blossom wine, he always felt a little bitter.

Bai Lichen picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip slightly.

"It should be brewed badly, it seems that the people in this hunting ground are becoming more and more lazy, and now they are actually cutting corners in this kind of place."

He could also drink it, and the wine was slightly bitter, although it was not a big deal, but it affected the taste of the wine.

"Since that's the case......"

Mu Qing still felt that something was wrong, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After the banquet is over, it is naturally the usual hunting in the past, several princes have got on the horse, Bailihong's age is relatively young, but he has also reached the age of riding and shooting, although he did not learn in the past, but I heard that he also has a lot of experience in riding and shooting.

"Third brother, the two of us have to have a good competition today, you were not there in the hunt in the past few years, but I feel so bored."

When the prince on one side heard this, he looked a little embarrassed.

In previous years, when Bailichen didn't come, it was himself who won the championship, could it be that the meaning of this Lao Jiu was that if Bailichen came, he would lose?
