Chapter 418: A Contest with Ulterior Motives
Han Lingruo gritted her teeth with hatred for Mu Qingya and Duanmu Mingli in her heart. Duanmu Mingli is very happy in her heart, she is about to marry the third prince, her identity must be very different, she used to be cautious and cautious, but if she says this again, she may be seen as weak and bullied, now, so, she will let them see, she Duanmu Mingli is not something that anyone can bully, what can you do if you are the newly promoted Lan County Lord, after all, it is not a slave with a high status.
Duanmu Lingyu saw this scene, and nodded with great satisfaction in his heart, he used to take care of Duanmu Mingli, but it was just for the sake of blood, but now he really has a little blood affection for this sister. As long as this sister can always be so smart in the future, he will do his best to help her make her wish come true.
Such a banquet is naturally indispensable for the competition of poetry, songs, talents and knowledge.
Mo Ao looked at the straight children of the family standing next to his left hand and said, "Emperor Yuhan, I see that there are also many children of the family who come with you, why don't you let them compete in martial arts?" The right to the point is to add a little fun to the banquet. "He lost face last night, and he has to find a way to get it back today.
Duanmu Lingyu had long expected this situation, and naturally he would not refuse: "Naturally, it is very good, I have long heard that all the children of your country are good at martial arts, and it is not a problem to ride horses and shoot arrows. ”
Mo Ao was very proud in his heart, picked up the horseback archery, and the children of Canglan began to beg for life on horseback, how could they not be good at it, how could they not be good at it, this point was difficult for Yuhan to shoot the horse no matter how he trained, so he happily agreed: "Nature, nature, it's just a competition, so nature can't be real." ”
Mu Qingya smiled quietly, her eyes swept over the Canglan guard group on the side, all the people he brought this time were extraordinary, and they really wanted to fight seriously, those children of Canglan were definitely not the opponents of these people, thinking that Duanmu Lingyu really wanted to give Canglan a complete shock, but this is fine, they always thought that Yu Han was still as easy to bully as a few years ago.
After the words of the two emperors, all the guards cooperated as much as possible, and they surrounded a piece of grass in the imperial garden to provide for the children of the two countries to compete.
Mu Qingya and Duanmu Mingli are in an excellent location, and they can almost see this venue at a glance, and they don't need to move their positions, so they drink tea leisurely.
It's just that this competition didn't have much shock at the beginning, but made everyone a little confused.
After the first two people on the field greeted each other, the people on the Canglan side just made a gesture and roared, and Yuhan's people attacked, and bursts of dense fists and feet were overwhelmingly pressed.
The people on the Canglan side can't take it at all, so they can only defend passively, don't lose too ugly.
Mo Ao's expression was suddenly difficult to look at, the hand on the back of the chair was tightly clenched, and the green tendons were exposed on it, showing the irrepressible anger in his heart, just now he also said that he would show mercy to Yu Han's people, but he didn't want this sentence to fall for a long time, the reality was like a loud slap in the face, which made him, the emperor, feel unprecedented anger and unwillingness, and his eyes looked at the person who was competing on the field with a faint killing intent, what is the use of such a useless person to keep.
Duanmu Lingyu didn't speak, just sipped slowly with a cup of tea, his expression was extraordinarily leisurely, and he didn't seem to care about winning or losing on the field.
The onlookers around originally thought that they would finally be able to vent their anger, but they didn't want to end up being even more aggrieved than before. Especially some people who have a very prejudiced attitude towards Yu Han in their hearts, although they dare not blatantly disrespect Duanmu Lingyu, but they don't treat the children who follow him so well, and one after another resentment, jealousy or defensiveness fall on them, almost opening a hole in them.
However, the next scene made everyone dumbfounded, originally Yuhan's contestants had completely occupied the upper peak, but they didn't want to step out too big when they attacked forward, and fell directly to the ground, their heads hit the ground heavily, and they fainted directly.
And the contestant who was still holding his head to defend left and right, and Yu Han's contestant had already fainted, his appearance was particularly funny and funny, Mo Ao's face became more and more ugly, because of the opponent's oolong and won this game, what is there to be happy about.
Mu Qingya was slightly stunned, looked up at Duanmu Lingyu with some concern, met his smiling eyes, and the worry in her heart instantly put down, and continued to watch the play quietly on the side.
The personnel on both sides of the field for the second time were obviously much more cautious, and the contestants did not hold it up, and after a simple salute, they rushed out and attacked sharply. However, this time, Yuhan's contestants did not take the initiative to attack, but kept defending closely.
Seeing the contestant, Duanmu Mingli was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "Qingya, you see, the one who came on the field was the second-class guard next to the imperial brother, whose name is An Heng, that is, An Luoli's cousin, who has no status at home, and was only promoted to the second-class guard after being discovered by the imperial brother, but now he should have been promoted to the position of a first-class guard, he has practiced foreign kung fu since he was a child, and no one can compare to him when it comes to defense. ”
Mu Qingya was surprised in her heart: "The people of the An family? ”
"Well, but Qingya, you can rest assured, this An Heng and the people of the An family are not in the same group, his mother is just a concubine, when he was young, he was betrayed by his concubine with a little mistake, since then, he has no status in the An family, and once he was almost thrown into the water and drowned, and now he is completely loyal to the imperial brother."
Mu Qingya nodded: "Thank you for telling me." ”
Duanmu Mingli smiled: "Thank you for what you said to me." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship seemed to be much closer again.
The situation on the field is getting more and more stale, that An Heng has not attacked, just a simple defense, but the Canglan contestants have no way to take him, and even because of the rapid attack, the physical strength has decreased, and after standing still, he gasped for breath, and the sweat on his face flowed down in strings.
Mo Ao's face became more and more ugly, he didn't expect that Yuhan's two guards would be so difficult.
Just when everyone thought that this time the vicissitudes were lost, An Heng, who had been on the defensive, fell to the ground with a bang, covered his eyes and roared: "You are cheating!" Ah, my eyes, the eyes can't see. ”
Mo Ao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were cold and he turned his head to look at the guard.
"No, the minion didn't, the minion didn't cheat."
Very quickly, the imperial doctor came to check, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, although it was not a trick by the contestants, but it had a close relationship with him, because the thing that hurt An Heng's eyes was the dirt that the guard had just brought up between his actions.
This result made everyone look at each other again.
Duanmu Lingyu finally put down the teacup he had been holding, and looked at Mo Ao with an obvious apology: "Emperor Canglan, I'm really sorry, the guards under me are not angry, please don't care." ”
Mo Ao smiled stiffly: "How come, it's just an accident, these two games can be regarded as a draw." ”
Duanmu Lingyu nodded: "In this way, thank you for your concession." ”
Mo Ao's expression became more and more gloomy, and he turned his head to continue looking at the arena, ignoring Duanmu Lingyu's smiling face.
Raise your hand and pick up the teacup and hand it to the waiter on the side. The waiter hurriedly took the teacup, replaced it with a hot tea, and respectfully sent it to Duanmu Lingyu's hand.
As soon as the contestants of the third competition came on the field, everyone was very surprised, only to see that the contestant of Canglan was a mighty and sturdy man, while the contestant of Yuhan was like a child in front of him, small and even more thin.
There were many people who laughed loudly, this time it must have been Yuhan's little man who lost, and some people couldn't help but cheer.
Mu Qingya paused slightly, the smile on her face became deeper and deeper, that little man she heard Duanmu Lingyu say, when he said it, he just treated him as a joke to make fun, but she didn't expect to see a real person here.
This little man's name is Shi Dali, he met during an inspection, when he saw this little man Shi Dali was holding a piece comparable to his own height when chasing the wild boar around, he kindly helped him shoot the wild boar, and gave him the whole wild boar, I didn't expect Shi Dali's first sentence to ask: Do you have enough to eat with you?
Although he was still a prince at that time, he was not short of food for one person, so he said directly: Tube full.
Then this Shi Dali followed him all the time, and it was said that he could eat five times as much food as others in one meal. If it weren't for his upright personality, obedience, natural divine power, and amazing speed, Duanmu Lingyu would probably have stopped raising him a long time ago.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for everyone to hear the whispers of surprise. I saw that in the arena, the big man didn't get any advantage in the hands of the little man, and even almost fell out a few times.
If it weren't for Mo Ao's presence, many people would be eager to reprimand angrily, it was really embarrassing, that sturdy strong man was pressed and beaten by a child-like short man, it was really unpleasant to look at.
Shi Dali's moves and styles were extremely appropriate, and there was no confusion in his movements.
The big man couldn't do it, feeling the whispered discussions of the people around him, his heart became more and more anxious, at this moment, he found that Shi Dali had a mistake and omission, and hurriedly stepped forward to beat him out with this mistake. But stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and Shi Dali grabbed his belt for a while, and directly lifted it as if he was carrying a winter melon.
I only heard Shi Dali roar angrily, and suddenly lifted the strong man above his head and fell out heavily!
