Chapter 274: Great Expectations
Under Su Zheng's impatient words, the night banquet naturally ushered in the ending in a slightly strange atmosphere.
If Su Zheng's previous actions were over, only those who knew the inside story would understand his behavior.
But with Li Ziyang's request for help, all of this was calmly put on the bright side, and people like Lei Hao who didn't know what to do could also clearly see that this was aimed at Su Mu.
And more importantly, although Lei Hao and others did not understand Su Zheng and Li Ziyang's motives.
However, there is a very similar view in my heart about the final outcome:
"The lieutenant in the army named Li Ziyang, he really can't be Su Mu's opponent, and he can't even see Su Mu's back, so he can't really recognize it...... The strength gap between himself and Su Mu!"
And as the night banquet came to an end in a bizarre way, the guests of course also left again in the limousine.
And now in the ceremonial carriage of the Papal State, Su Mu had paid special attention to the young man before, and once he avoided the eyes of outsiders, his true face was indeed revealed.
At this moment, this person has long ceased to continue to play a supporting role, but has become a well-deserved protagonist.
"The eldest son of the emperor and the lieutenant under his command, they will undoubtedly contribute to a farce. The biggest flaw between the two of them is that they spend most of their time in the military, rather than in the regular world. Therefore, their perception of strength is undoubtedly still stuck in execution and coordination, and they don't understand how a real strong person will fight alone. β
And for this point, the second prince of the empire or the Qinghua Academy and his party obviously clearly understand the problem. But not only did they not stop the behavior of the emperor's eldest son, but even coincidentally acted as a facilitator. In this way, there are only two possibilities for the truth. β
As he said this, the young man of the Papal States suddenly raised his head and took a final look at the palace of the eldest son of the emperor who was far away behind the limousine.
And then in the midst of regret, the final conclusion:
"Either the eldest son of the emperor is too unpopular and has already let the rest of the forces unite against him, or the second prince has already infiltrated the academy faction and has undoubtedly mastered the power of the imperial capital. β
"And either way, it's obviously the same very bad for the checks and balances we want to see. So our last hope is really only ...... Let the prestige and power of the princess of the empire continue to increase, so strong that even if she leaves the soil of the empire, she can still influence the situation of the empire!"
......
The second day of the Faculty Exchange Conference did not stop with any events outside of the conference.
No matter how strange the night banquet last night was, when the clear sky after the snow was revealed on the second day, this grand exchange conference will also start again.
But last night's night, though not able to stop the progress of the conference.
But for some reason, Li Ziyang's military order last night was like a sudden storm, and it spread all over the streets and alleys of the entire imperial capital in an instant.
So the second day of the conference was even more fiery than the first day.
After all, according to the battle list, in the actual battle on the second day of the conference, the battle between Su Mu and Li Ziyang happened to be included.
For such a battle, the two sides have the will to win, and it is natural to attract people's attention.
Not to mention, although the truly sober people have already seen the end of this battle.
However, for the inhabitants of the empire, who also have no concept of power, it seems that there is no way to determine the superiority and inferiority of each other purely from the perspective of the will of both sides.
Even vaguely, in the eyes of the inhabitants of the empire...... Whether it is the adjutant in the army of the eldest son of the emperor, or the fiancΓ© of the princess of the empire, they are actually the people of the empire itself.
So about the battle itself, in fact, as long as it is exciting and fierce enough.
As for who the final winner of the contest was, the inhabitants of the empire didn't care that much at all.
As a result, the inhabitants of the empire who flocked to the city not only occupied tens of thousands of seats, but even the corridors were once again filled with dense figures.
So much so that the Imperial Ministry of Industry is considering whether to build a new viewing platform overnight.
Otherwise, in the days of the final battle, I don't know how many people will come one after another.
......
And under such expectations, Su Zheng, the eldest son of the emperor, was obviously not happy at all at this time, and it could even be said to be extremely bad.
The military order that Li Ziyang made at the night banquet was, of course, a choice of last resort.
Although Su Zheng did blurt out the price by this, in fact, in the depths of Su Zheng's heart, he also never had the certainty that Li Ziyang would win.
In the eyes of the emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng, Li Ziyang's role was actually just to force Su Mu to pay the price.
Even if Li Ziyang himself is indeed not up to the task, there will still be other participants who will scramble to defeat Su Mu.
And the people who know this military order are only a very small range.
At that time, as long as Su Zheng pretends to have been punished, he will be able to hide Li Ziyang for a period of time, and then directly act as if this incident has not happened.
However, now it seems that all this has clearly turned into a flash in the pan.
A certain person who went to the banquet last night, he not only publicized all the things at the banquet, but even described the process of Li Ziyang's military order in great detail.
And what made the emperor's eldest son, Su Zheng, even more alarmed...... The one who spread this news was simply a certain force within the empire.
After all, both the Confederation and the Papal States are just missions to the Crown, and they simply do not have the strength to do this.
Only the forces that had long been ingrained in the imperial capital could make everything at the banquet known in that single night.
Even more importantly, although Su Zheng did have little contact with real combat geniuses, this did not mean that he had no ability to judge at all.
Since others dare to publicize the news so loudly, they are naturally determined:
Li Ziyang in this matchup...... There is absolutely no chance of winning!
"I don't require you to win, but at least you can't lose too ugly in battle, or I won't be able to keep you, and I'll even become the laughing stock of the Empire. β
Su Zheng, the eldest son of the emperor, took one last look at the three major academies that had already entered one after another.
found that in this situation, he was indeed powerless.
So he could only give this final admonition in a daze, and then silently turned around and stepped on the passage to the royal special seat.
Today's battle, since it has become the focus of great expectations, Su Zheng, as Li Ziyang's direct general, of course, can't help but show up in person.
No matter how bleak the ending is...... This is also Su Zheng's only choice!
