Chapter 412: Another draw
After there was no sound, the guards all stopped, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to test Du Qiang's snort, and because Murong Xi had specially ordered him to spare his life just now, they hurried over to report to Murong Xi.
"His Royal Highness King Han, Du Qiang is almost out of breath now, can he continue?"
"No, drag him over."
Originally, Murong Xi didn't want Du Qiang's life, but he just wanted to give her an unforgettable warning, so as to tell him not to make his own decisions in the future, and when he simply came over, the shelf was very big, and it should not attract the attention of others.
Moreover, Du Qiang can be regarded as a talent, under Murong Si's vigilant supervision, it is not so easy for Murong Xi to survive from the cracks and cultivate his own power.
Therefore, as long as the people under his command do not commit crimes that are intolerable, Murong Xi can still consider turning a blind eye.
It didn't take long for the guards to drag the dying Du Qiang in front of Murong Xi, who had straight hands behind his back and looked down at him with his waist and eyes.
"Du Qiang, do you have a longer memory now? Do you know what to do in the future? ”
"Got it, got it, His Royal Highness King Xie Han spared his life, His Royal Highness King Xie Han." Du Qiang, who was still breathing, heard this, and his body couldn't help shaking, and he kowtowed to the ground again and again.
Murong Xi looked at him, as if he had indeed remembered this lesson, so he generously beckoned him to step back. "Then quickly disappear in front of this king, and don't let this king see you again."
"Yes, yes, the villain obeys." Du Qiang hurriedly agreed, finally stood up on his knees, and limped to the door of the room step by step.
A group of his subordinates who were guarding outside hurriedly came up to help Du Qiang, Du Qiang glanced back in fear, and couldn't see resentment, fear or disappointment in his eyes, so he waved his hand and told them to leave with him quickly.
On the other hand, since Murong Lin was injured and lying on the bed to recuperate, Feng Xiaoyue has been accompanying her undressed, and she is afraid that the people in the courtyard will not be able to serve her properly, so she will do all the tea and sweat by herself.
Feng Xiaoyue also felt that Murong Lin would suffer from this difficulty, all because she wanted him and Murong Xi to be reconciled as before, but she had to make such a game to attract the attention of others, so she kept blaming herself in her heart.
However, Feng Xiaoyue forgot her true thoughts in the corner, and the dull Murong Lin, who had been watching her carefully in bed, had already understood, and only he refused to admit it.
"Miss, I see that you seem to be very interested in His Royal Highness the Prince of the World recently, at least not like before, Miss, do you like the Prince of the World?"
Xiao Yu came over with a basin of water and put it in the room to absorb the dust in the room, but when she came in, she saw that Feng Xiaoyue had just fed Murong Lin tea, so she couldn't help but tease her when she walked away.
"Xiao Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just feeling guilty, after all, he was injured because he participated in the competition I proposed, and if it were you, wouldn't you feel guilty and make amends? ”
Feng Xiaoyue was tough on her mouth, but a little red involuntarily flew on her face.
"That's right, but miss, you're much better to His Royal Highness now than before." Xiao Yu deliberately pouted and tilted her head, looking thoughtful.
"Is it much better? I don't think so, you still have to do something by yourself, we're okay here, I'll call you when I have something. ”
Some things are really changing quietly, such as Feng Xiaoyue, she is starting to care about Murong Lin a little now, but she doesn't realize it and doesn't want to admit it.
This is really a bystander Qing authorities, I don't know when Miss will be able to see her heart. Xiao Yu sighed in her heart, although the two of them have become an official husband and wife, they have to feel smooth in their hearts, and this day will be smoother.
And since the injury, it has been almost half a month since the injury, Murong Lin has been staying in the house and is a little bored, Feng Xiaoyue will talk something to Murong Lin.
Murong Lin has heard of it, and some have not heard of it, most of them are very novel remarks that he heard, although he may not go to his heart, quiet and lingering, but the effect of relieving boredom is still there.
Because after Murong Lin recovered from his injury, he would test the art of war with Murong Xi, the so-called art of war is not really to ask them to reorganize the army to play games on the battlefield at night, but to think of the best strategy for each other according to the existing conditions on paper.
In fact, it is not much different from the game, but the actual art of war is more advanced than the chess game where one person has to take one step.
But because of the injury, he should not spend too much time every day, so there is no extra time to read military books, but fortunately, she has been fighting for so long in modern times, although she mainly studies interpersonal communication in the shopping mall, but this soldier is treacherous, interpersonal communication is also inextricably linked with how to use.
Moreover, Sun Tzu's 36 tactics in the Art of War, or even more strategies, Feng Xiaoyue may not be able to remember all of them, but she can still do it by reciting two and pointing out the maze.
So these days, Feng Xiaoyue has been telling Murong Lin some of the art of war that she is familiar with, thinking that it will be of some help to Murong Lin in the future.
Murong Lin felt very interesting when he listened to Feng Xiaoyue's narration, because Murong Lin had never heard of many of the art of war, and after Feng Xiaoyue said this, Murong Lin was much more confident in the future competition.
After going back and forth like this for several days, Murong Lin's injuries slowly healed, and coupled with his studious nature, Professor Feng Xiaoyue's content was quickly memorized in his mind.
Naturally, Murong Xi was also prepared, and the capable and studious people in the capital gathered everywhere, and everyone's omnipotence thought that even if he had not personally been on the battlefield, theoretically it was not so easy to be pulled down.
After a few days, it was time for Murong Lin and Murong Xi to discuss the art of war, because the content and location of the competition had been announced in advance, so there were many people watching the scene. Because Murong Lin was injured and added to the competition, everyone was naturally looking forward to it.
"Prince Li came very early, how is the recovery from his injury?" Murong Xi paid attention to Murong Lin for a moment, but the tone of his speech was so inaudible that people couldn't understand what it meant.
"His Royal Highness King Lao Han is worried, this son has recovered, and it is enough to compete with you." Murong Lin didn't know what he meant, but he was still full of pride.
"That's good, I don't want the prince to say that this king bullies people who are hurt in the future." Murong Xi was also relieved in his heart, and went against Murong Lin and went to the competition venue from another direction.
When the two men had taken up their positions and were almost ready, they nodded and motioned to the guard next to them, and the guard next to them beat the drum and shouted.
"The competition begins, and the content of today's competition is about the art of war."
After the guard finished speaking, he gave what he was going to talk about to Murong Lin and Murong Xi, and the two of them immediately fell into their own thoughts.
There was a row of tables on the high platform on the left hand side of the two-person competition venue, and the judges sitting on it were all well-known masters of the art of war in the city.
The content of the competition is not uncommon, but it is also very difficult to discuss it clearly. Murong Xi and Murong Lin were very sure after seeing the content, so the two of them discussed it sentence by sentence.
Murong Lin thought about the art of war that Feng Xiaoyue had instilled in him these days, and it was very easy to find a breakthrough point. So Murong Lin passed through this breakthrough point, pressing behind Murong Xi step by step without relaxing.
After these two rounds of discussions, Murong Lin seems to have the upper hand, and several masters of the art of war are full of praise for Murong Lin's discussions.
Listening to the praises of these people, Murong Xi was inevitably a little anxious in his heart, but he was not the kind of person who gave up easily. Murong Xi warned himself over and over again not to panic and to be calm, so that he could make a more reasonable and well-founded statement.
Finally, Murong Xi found another way and found Murong Lin's shortcomings. These two people insist on their own words, do not give in to each other, and they are reasonable, so that people have to applaud loudly.
Even several masters of the art of war couldn't help but stand up and applaud, after all, during Murong Si's reign, the imperial court was chaotic, and everyone hadn't seen such a wonderful exposition for a long time.
After that, they discussed it again one after another, and it was really difficult for Murong Lin and Murong Xi to distinguish between the superior and the inferior for a while, and both sides had a reason, which made the battle situation deeply into a stalemate.
The art of war of the judges, everyone couldn't help but sigh, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and didn't know how to judge this result.
In desperation, in this game, these judges could only give a draw result, Murong Xi heard it in his ears, and slowly lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think.
"Thank you all the masters of the art of war for coming to judge, hard work."
"There, it is a blessing for several of us to be able to serve the prince of Li and His Royal Highness the King of Han, congratulations to the two highnesses for a tie this time, we will see you next time." After the judges greeted each other, they went back the way they had come.
Then the guards next to him sounded the gong and announced the results of the competition.
But as soon as these words came out, the people who came to watch were in chaos, because everyone originally thought that the two of them could finally judge today, but who would have thought that the result would be the same.
Everyone is concerned about when they will know if they are making the right bet and when they will get their money. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a tie, and everyone was also panicked.
