"Ouch--"
The man let out a scream and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit!
He ignored the pain, got up and wanted to escape, but Wei Ting had already landed firmly in front of him.
He looked at Wei Ting in horror, and then looked back at the little fat girl who was walking towards him.
"You... what are you doing?"
he asked stammeringly.
"Is it him?" Wei Ting asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and nodded: "Yes."
Wei Ting's icy eyes fell on the other party, and the other party was so frightened that he lost his mind and knelt on the ground: "Man...you...you are missing...I'll give it back to you...please don't kill me...I'll give it back to you again... I dare not..."
After finishing speaking, he unbuttoned his clothes, and poured out a lot of things from a big pocket tied to his chest.
"It's a little thief." Wei Ting said to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned over, sniffed him, then stretched out her hand, grabbed his right hand, and pulled out a clean handkerchief from his cuff.
There are several gold bars wrapped in the handkerchief.
The little thief's face changed, his little mezzanine can't be found by ordinary people——
Su Xiaoxiao opened the veil and put away the gold bars without changing his face.
Little thief: "..."
It turned out to be colleagues.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is this square handkerchief yours?"
The thief shook his head: "No."
Wei Ting threatened: "If you dare to tell a lie, your tongue will be cut off."
The little thief hurriedly said: "I swear to God, I will never dare to lie to you two!"
"Where did the handkerchief come from?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Is it also stolen?"
The little thief nodded weakly.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Where did you steal it?"
The thief whispered: "A girl... I didn't know her... I saw her beautiful... I fell in love with her...so I stole her handkerchief..."
Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "What does she look like?"
The little thief whispered: "I...I can't tell...she is wearing a veil..."
Su Xiaoxiao: "The location?"
Little thief: "By the lake, there are many boats on the lake."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting and said, "Where did we eat last time?"
Wei Ting asked some more specific details, and confirmed that it was in that area. However, the clothes and attire described by the thief were just that of an ordinary girl, who could be caught on the street, without any outstanding features.
As for this kind of handkerchief, it is also the most common material on the market, and nine out of ten cloth shops can buy it.
Wei Ting handed over the thief to a nearby official, and then sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the hospital.
...
Another day passed, and Su Cheng still hadn't woken up.
"Tomorrow is the competition." Qin Canglan said.
"Old Marquis!"
A black-clothed guard stepped in and bowed to the old master, "Qin Jiang bought a batch of quack killers and headed towards Qingcheng."
Old Hou Ye was not surprised at all: "Old Qin, what did I say, is this Qin Jiang restless?"
Qin Canglan asked, "Did Mo'er go to Qingcheng too?"
Old Hou Ye nodded: "He is going to pick up Lao Wu."
Qin Canglan asked strangely: "How many assassins can old five deal with?"
Old Hou Ye sighed: "Yes, we can deal with it, but if Mo'er doesn't look at him, he doesn't know where he has escaped to. That kid is the most troublesome thing in the whole family."
Qin Canglan asked, "Isn't the fourth child the most troublesome?"
Old Hou Ye: "You can choose not to speak."
After Su Mo received Lao Wu, he bid farewell to his grandmother and his party, and took Lao Wu back to Beijing first.
It went smoothly at first, but at dawn on the second day, they encountered the killer sent by Qin Jiang.
...
The news about the contest between Su Cheng and Qin Jiang had been released a month ago, and everyone was looking forward to it.
One is Qin Canglan's own flesh and blood living among the people, and the other is a false son and real younger brother who has been raised by him and the Marquis of Zhenbei for twenty years. Who is more qualified to inherit the military power of Duke Huguo's mansion?
The competition lasted for three days, the first day of martial arts competition, the second day of riding and archery, and the last day of art of war.
The place of the big competition is a martial arts arena in the imperial palace, not far from the Qilin Hall.
Emperor Jingxuan went to the court first: "Today's competition, if there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court."
The ministers retreated tactfully.
Emperor Jing Xuan then led a mighty team of ministers to the arena.
The high-ranking ministers received the seat from Emperor Jingxuan, and the rest of the officials could only stand and watch from the sidelines. Emperor Jingxuan did not force them to stay here, but it was related to the military power of the Qin family. To be honest, few officials were not curious .
Several princes also arrived.
The palace school was on holiday for three days, and Princess Jingning also came to watch the battle.
"Jing Ning, come to Emperor Father." Emperor Jing Xuan said to Princess Jing Ning with a smile.
Princess Hui'an is not interested in beating and killing, but when she heard that Jing Ning had gone, she also came to join in the fun!
It's a pity that Emperor Jingxuan doesn't have her seat next to her.
She stomped her feet and went to sit next to Xiao Chonghua.
At the next table is the eldest prince Xiao Duye.
Xiao Duye took a sip of tea with a smile, and asked Xiao Chonghua, "Third brother, who do you think will win today?"
Xiao Chonghua smiled slightly: "What do you think, brother?"
Xiao Duye said with a smile: "I just returned to the capital, and I don't know much about the returning civil servant. I heard that the third brother met him in Qingzhou. The third brother must know his strength better than me."
Xiao Chonghua's smile remained unchanged: "Brother, you are serious. I am only recuperating in Qingzhou, and I can't talk about getting to know anyone."
Xiao Duye shook the cup in his hand: "I heard that it was the Duke Hu's daughter who cured the third brother's illness. From this point of view, the third brother is really destined to be with that Miss Su."
Xiao Chonghua said kindly: "Brother has only been back to Beijing for three days, I never thought that I have investigated my younger brother so clearly."
Xiao Duye smiled and said, "How can it be called an investigation? It's just something that has been spread."
After finishing speaking, he drank the tea in his hand and stopped talking to Xiao Chonghua.
On the left hand side of the emperor are the princes and princesses and the clan members, and on the right hand side are the humerus ministers.
Qin Canglan and Lao Hou had already taken their seats.
There was a table next to the two, and there was no one on the two futons.
Old Hou Ye asked in a low voice: "Is Cheng'er still awake?"
He rested in the Hou's Mansion last night, and Qin Canglan came directly from the medical hall.
Qin Canglan said calmly: "I haven't woken up, where is the fifth child? Haven't arrived yet? The contest is about to start."
Old Hou Ye frowned: "This time...it should be here..."
Not long after, Qin Jiang brought Qin Yanran and Xu Qing over.
The two saluted Emperor Jingxuan and sat down ten steps away from Qin Canglan.
Emperor Jingxuan looked at Qin Canglan and said, "Isn't Qin Che here yet?"
He was talking about Qin Che, not Su Cheng.
Qin Canglan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
However, a quarter of an hour passed, and Su Cheng still did not show up.
The old Hou Ye got up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play."
"Say!"
"Cheng'er... due to a sudden change, he was unable to come to participate in the big competition. Can his son take part in the competition?"
"His son?"
"yes."
Emperor Jingxuan looked down: "Qin Jiang, do you have any objections?"
Qin Jiang got up and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Su Cheng's son has just turned fourteen this year, and he has never gone to school or practiced martial arts. If I compete with him, even if he wins, it would be a bit unfair. I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei has plans to adopt one of his grandsons to Su Cheng, how about letting Su Cheng's stepson take the place of the competition?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.
Did Qin Canglan and Zhenbeihou actually come up with this idea? Want to adopt the blood of the Hou family to the Qin family?
Is this a bit...
"But there is such a thing?" Emperor Jingxuan asked the old master.
Old Hou Ye said: "Yes, the old minister has adopted the young grandson to Cheng'er."
"It's just nonsense!" Princess Hui'an murmured, "How can you adopt your own son to someone else? Isn't this cheating? If you can't win by yourself, you can ask for foreign aid. It's too unfair to Qin Jiang!"
Xiao Chonghua didn't speak, and silently drank the tea in his hand.
It was originally unfair to compare Su Cheng, who grew up among the people, with Qin Jiang, but with Qin Jiang's words, it seemed that Su Cheng had also taken advantage of it.
Old Hou Ye's face darkened.
Although they made this plan, it doesn't sound so good when Qin Jiang said it so eccentrically.
The point is, that's not the point.
Qin Jiang dared to accept Lao Wu so openly, either Qin Jiang was absolutely sure to win Lao Wu, or Qin Jiang was absolutely sure to hold Lao Wu back.
The fifth child is the most disobedient child in the family, but he is also the most talented in martial arts.
So compared to the first case, Old Hou Ye thinks the latter is more likely.
What did this Qin Jiang do to Lao Wu!
Could it be that he not only sent out a wave of killers? Does he have other backhands?
Of course Qin Jiang has other backers.
However, Su Mo and the youngest son of the Su family broke through his backhand.
Qin Jiang also received a letter from Feige before entering the palace.
Although they escaped man-made disasters, they did not escape natural disasters. Li County suffered heavy rains for days, landslides, bridges were destroyed, and official roads were flooded. Su Mo and Su's children couldn't come!
Even God is helping him!
A guard from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion came from behind and whispered in the ears of the old Hou Ye and Qin Canglan: "You two grand lords, something is wrong, something happened on the way between the eldest son and the fifth son..."
The expressions of the two changed.
Emperor Jingxuan said lightly: "Since Qin Jiang has no objection, let Su Cheng's son perform the competition according to what the Zhenbei Hou Mansion played... Stepchildren are also welcome. Bring someone up."
What to bring?
Everyone is gone!
It's over, it's over.
Thousands of calculations have been made, and natural disasters have not been counted, so what should I do?
"You two lovers, the time has come. If Su Cheng refuses to fight, then I will judge Qin Jiang as the winner."
"Father, is there only one match?" Princess Jingning asked.
Emperor Jingxuan was quite gentle towards his daughter-in-law: "Three games, but if no one comes..."
Princess Jingning said: "Father, this is the first match, two wins out of three."
Emperor Jingxuan accepted Princess Jingning's proposal: "Then wait another quarter of an hour. If no one shows up after a quarter of an hour, Qin Jiang will also be judged to win the second match."
There is no suspense anymore.
Natural disasters blocked people on the road, and it was impossible to arrive in a quarter of an hour.
It seems that today's contest is about to be lost.
It's a pity, Qin Jiang was injured by Wei Ting, originally he didn't have an advantage, if he wins even the weaker areas where he doesn't have an advantage, the situation in the future will be very unfavorable for Su Cheng.
Time passed little by little.
The officials started whispering.
"Why hasn't the young grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei come?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"Obviously he is the son of the Hou family, and he is suddenly adopted by a cousin who has never been masked. I'm afraid no one will easily agree..."
"The young grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been disobedient to discipline, so he is a headache for Marquis of Zhenbei and Su Shangshu at home."
"Why didn't Su Cheng come in person? I understand if you can't win, you have to come and see, a man, you can't be a coward!"
"He had an accident. I heard he was scared! When he heard that he was going to compete with Qin Jiang, he was too scared to get out of bed—"
"Ah... If he is really such a coward, wouldn't it be too hasty to hand over the military power to such a worthless hand?"
"So, let's hope that Qin Jiang wins..."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Yanran couldn't help but feel elated.
After several days of haze, this moment finally came when the cloudy moon opened.
Su Cheng didn't even dare to come out, how could such a useless person deserve to be his father's opponent?
A wimpy flesh and blood can only be a wimpy.
She touched her cheek, and the girl slapped her, she will go back sooner or later!
"Boring!" Princess Hui'an frowned depressedly.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed Jing Ning to join in the fun.
Eunuch Fu glanced at the hourglass beside him.
When a quarter of an hour came, he pretended not to see it.
Eunuch Quan, who was serving tea on the other side, saw that he was silent, and realized that his chance had come.
Eunuch Quan said flatteringly, "Your Majesty! It's a quarter of an hour!"
Princess Jingning glared at him.
Qin Jiang was going crazy with joy.
Wei Ting, so what if you break one of my ribs?
In the end, Su Cheng couldn't compete with me at all!
Xiao Duye picked up the teacup and leaned slightly towards Xiao Chonghua's side: "Third Brother, Big Brother congratulates you in advance."
Xiao Chonghua tasted tea expressionlessly.
Emperor Jingxuan also lost his patience a little. He glanced at the empty seat next to Qin Canglan, and said calmly, "The second round..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of communication not far away.
"The Lord Protector seeks an audience—"
Qin Jiang shook his hand.
Who asks to see?
Lord Protector?
He straightened up strangely, turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, and saw a man in silver armor with a sword on his shoulder, walking towards the arena mightily and domineeringly.
If not Su Cheng, who else?
At this moment, Su Cheng was not the commoner he saw at the joint for the first time, nor was he the father who was furious in the middle of the night a few days ago, he put on the armor that gleamed coldly.
Like a general rushing to the battlefield.
His demeanor has undergone an earth-shaking change.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Jiang couldn't believe it.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting also came over.
They didn't talk, they just "coincidentally" met at the gate of the palace.
The three saluted Emperor Jingxuan.
This was the first time that Emperor Jingxuan saw the father and daughter living among the people.
The little girl is chubby, with delicate features, round and cute, but her eyes are very cold.
Although he grew up in the countryside, he doesn't have the slightest bit of petty air in him. He behaves dignifiedly, calmly, and has a heroic air that is rarely seen in women.
As expected, Su Cheng is Qin Canglan's own son. He looks more like Qin Jiang than Qin Jiang. He also bears the shadow of Marquis Zhenbei, and his nephew looks like an uncle.
Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Are you Qin Che?"

Wei Ting asked Su Xiaoxiao.Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and nodded: "Yes."Wei Ting's icy eyes fell on the other party, and the other party was so frightened that he lost his mind and knelt on the ground: "Man...you...you are missing...I'll give it back to you...please don't kill me...I'll give it back to you again... I dare not..."After finishing speaking, he unbuttoned his clothes, and poured out a lot of things from a big pocket tied to his chest."It's a little thief." Wei Ting said to Su Xiaoxiao.Su Xiaoxiao leaned over, sniffed him, then stretched out her hand, grabbed his right hand, and pulled out a clean handkerchief from his cuff.There are several gold bars wrapped in the handkerchief.The little thief's face changed, his little mezzanine can't be found by ordinary peopleSu Xiaoxiao opened the veil and put away the gold bars without changing his face.Little thief: "..."It turned out to be colleagues.Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is this square handkerchief yours?"The thief shook his head: "No."Wei Ting threatened: "If you dare to tell a lie, your tongue will be cut off."The little thief hurriedly said: "I swear to God, I will never dare to lie to you two!""Where did the handkerchief come from?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Is it also stolen?"The little thief nodded weakly.Su Xiaoxiao said: "Where did you steal it?"The thief whispered: "A girl... I didn't know her... I saw her beautiful... I fell in love with her...so I stole her handkerchief..."Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "What does she look like?"The little thief whispered: "I...I can't tell...she is wearing a veil..."Su Xiaoxiao: "The location?"Little thief: "By the lake, there are many boats on the lake."Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting and said, "Where did we eat last time?"Wei Ting asked some more specific details, and confirmed that it was in that area. However, the clothes and attire described by the thief were just that of an ordinary girl, who could be caught on the street, without any outstanding features.As for this kind of handkerchief, it is also the most common material on the market, and nine out of ten cloth shops can buy it.Wei Ting handed over the thief to a nearby official, and then sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the hospital....Another day passed, and Su Cheng still hadn't woken up."Tomorrow is the competition." Qin Canglan said."Old Marquis!"A black-clothed guard stepped in and bowed to the old master, "Qin Jiang bought a batch of quack killers and headed towards Qingcheng."Old Hou Ye was not surprised at all: "Old Qin, what did I say, is this Qin Jiang restless?"Qin Canglan asked, "Did Mo'er go to Qingcheng too?"Old Hou Ye nodded: "He is going to pick up Lao Wu."Qin Canglan asked strangely: "How many assassins can old five deal with?"Old Hou Ye sighed: "Yes, we can deal with it, but if Mo'er doesn't look at him, he doesn't know where he has escaped to. That kid is the most troublesome thing in the whole family."Qin Canglan asked, "Isn't the fourth child the most troublesome?"Old Hou Ye: "You can choose not to speak."After Su Mo received Lao Wu, he bid farewell to his grandmother and his party, and took Lao Wu back to Beijing first.It went smoothly at first, but at dawn on the second day, they encountered the killer sent by Qin Jiang....The news about the contest between Su Cheng and Qin Jiang had been released a month ago, and everyone was looking forward to it.One is Qin Canglan's own flesh and blood living among the people, and the other is a false son and real younger brother who has been raised by him and the Marquis of Zhenbei for twenty years. Who is more qualified to inherit the military power of Duke Huguo's mansion?The competition lasted for three days, the first day of martial arts competition, the second day of riding and archery, and the last day of art of war.The place of the big competition is a martial arts arena in the imperial palace, not far from the Qilin Hall.Emperor Jingxuan went to the court first: "Today's competition, if there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court."The ministers retreated tactfully.Emperor Jing Xuan then led a mighty team of ministers to the arena.The high-ranking ministers received the seat from Emperor Jingxuan, and the rest of the officials could only stand and watch from the sidelines. Emperor Jingxuan did not force them to stay here, but it was related to the military power of the Qin family. To be honest, few officials were not curious .Several princes also arrived.The palace school was on holiday for three days, and Princess Jingning also came to watch the battle."Jing Ning, come to Emperor Father." Emperor Jing Xuan said to Princess Jing Ning with a smile.Princess Hui'an is not interested in beating and killing, but when she heard that Jing Ning had gone, she also came to join in the fun!It's a pity that Emperor Jingxuan doesn't have her seat next to her.She stomped her feet and went to sit next to Xiao Chonghua.At the next table is the eldest prince Xiao Duye.Xiao Duye took a sip of tea with a smile, and asked Xiao Chonghua, "Third brother, who do you think will win today?"Xiao Chonghua smiled slightly: "What do you think, brother?"Xiao Duye said with a smile: "I just returned to the capital, and I don't know much about the returning civil servant. I heard that the third brother met him in Qingzhou. The third brother must know his strength better than me."Xiao Chonghua's smile remained unchanged: "Brother, you are serious. I am only recuperating in Qingzhou, and I can't talk about getting to know anyone."Xiao Duye shook the cup in his hand: "I heard that it was the Duke Hu's daughter who cured the third brother's illness. From this point of view, the third brother is really destined to be with that Miss Su."Xiao Chonghua said kindly: "Brother has only been back to Beijing for three days, I never thought that I have investigated my younger brother so clearly."Xiao Duye smiled and said, "How can it be called an investigation? It's just something that has been spread."After finishing speaking, he drank the tea in his hand and stopped talking to Xiao Chonghua.On the left hand side of the emperor are the princes and princesses and the clan members, and on the right hand side are the humerus ministers.Qin Canglan and Lao Hou had already taken their seats.There was a table next to the two, and there was no one on the two futons.Old Hou Ye asked in a low voice: "Is Cheng'er still awake?"He rested in the Hou's Mansion last night, and Qin Canglan came directly from the medical hall.Qin Canglan said calmly: "I haven't woken up, where is the fifth child? Haven't arrived yet? The contest is about to start."Old Hou Ye frowned: "This time...it should be here..."Not long after, Qin Jiang brought Qin Yanran and Xu Qing over.The two saluted Emperor Jingxuan and sat down ten steps away from Qin Canglan.Emperor Jingxuan looked at Qin Canglan and said, "Isn't Qin Che here yet?"He was talking about Qin Che, not Su Cheng.Qin Canglan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."However, a quarter of an hour passed, and Su Cheng still did not show up.The old Hou Ye got up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play.""Say!""Cheng'er... due to a sudden change, he was unable to come to participate in the big competition. Can his son take part in the competition?""His son?""yes."Emperor Jingxuan looked down: "Qin Jiang, do you have any objections?"Qin Jiang got up and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Su Cheng's son has just turned fourteen this year, and he has never gone to school or practiced martial arts. If I compete with him, even if he wins, it would be a bit unfair. I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei has plans to adopt one of his grandsons to Su Cheng, how about letting Su Cheng's stepson take the place of the competition?"As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.Did Qin Canglan and Zhenbeihou actually come up with this idea? Want to adopt the blood of the Hou family to the Qin family?Is this a bit..."But there is such a thing?" Emperor Jingxuan asked the old master.Old Hou Ye said: "Yes, the old minister has adopted the young grandson to Cheng'er.""It's just nonsense!" Princess Hui'an murmured, "How can you adopt your own son to someone else? Isn't this cheating? If you can't win by yourself, you can ask for foreign aid. It's too unfair to Qin Jiang!"Xiao Chonghua didn't speak, and silently drank the tea in his hand.It was originally unfair to compare Su Cheng, who grew up among the people, with Qin Jiang, but with Qin Jiang's words, it seemed that Su Cheng had also taken advantage of it.Old Hou Ye's face darkened.Although they made this plan, it doesn't sound so good when Qin Jiang said it so eccentrically.The point is, that's not the point.Qin Jiang dared to accept Lao Wu so openly, either Qin Jiang was absolutely sure to win Lao Wu, or Qin Jiang was absolutely sure to hold Lao Wu back.The fifth child is the most disobedient child in the family, but he is also the most talented in martial arts.So compared to the first case, Old Hou Ye thinks the latter is more likely.What did this Qin Jiang do to Lao Wu!Could it be that he not only sent out a wave of killers? Does he have other backhands?Of course Qin Jiang has other backers.However, Su Mo and the youngest son of the Su family broke through his backhand.Qin Jiang also received a letter from Feige before entering the palace.Although they escaped man-made disasters, they did not escape natural disasters. Li County suffered heavy rains for days, landslides, bridges were destroyed, and official roads were flooded. Su Mo and Su's children couldn't come!Even God is helping him!A guard from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion came from behind and whispered in the ears of the old Hou Ye and Qin Canglan: "You two grand lords, something is wrong, something happened on the way between the eldest son and the fifth son..."The expressions of the two changed.Emperor Jingxuan said lightly: "Since Qin Jiang has no objection, let Su Cheng's son perform the competition according to what the Zhenbei Hou Mansion played... Stepchildren are also welcome. Bring someone up."What to bring?Everyone is gone!It's over, it's over.Thousands of calculations have been made, and natural disasters have not been counted, so what should I do?"You two lovers, the time has come. If Su Cheng refuses to fight, then I will judge Qin Jiang as the winner.""Father, is there only one match?" Princess Jingning asked.Emperor Jingxuan was quite gentle towards his daughter-in-law: "Three games, but if no one comes..."Princess Jingning said: "Father, this is the first match, two wins out of three."Emperor Jingxuan accepted Princess Jingning's proposal: "Then wait another quarter of an hour. If no one shows up after a quarter of an hour, Qin Jiang will also be judged to win the second match."There is no suspense anymore.Natural disasters blocked people on the road, and it was impossible to arrive in a quarter of an hour.It seems that today's contest is about to be lost.It's a pity, Qin Jiang was injured by Wei Ting, originally he didn't have an advantage, if he wins even the weaker areas where he doesn't have an advantage, the situation in the future will be very unfavorable for Su Cheng.Time passed little by little.The officials started whispering."Why hasn't the young grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei come?""Are you unhappy?""Obviously he is the son of the Hou family, and he is suddenly adopted by a cousin who has never been masked. I'm afraid no one will easily agree...""The young grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been disobedient to discipline, so he is a headache for Marquis of Zhenbei and Su Shangshu at home.""Why didn't Su Cheng come in person? I understand if you can't win, you have to come and see, a man, you can't be a coward!""He had an accident. I heard he was scared! When he heard that he was going to compete with Qin Jiang, he was too scared to get out of bed""Ah... If he is really such a coward, wouldn't it be too hasty to hand over the military power to such a worthless hand?""So, let's hope that Qin Jiang wins..."Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Yanran couldn't help but feel elated.After several days of haze, this moment finally came when the cloudy moon opened.Su Cheng didn't even dare to come out, how could such a useless person deserve to be his father's opponent?A wimpy flesh and blood can only be a wimpy.She touched her cheek, and the girl slapped her, she will go back sooner or later!"Boring!" Princess Hui'an frowned depressedly.If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed Jing Ning to join in the fun.Eunuch Fu glanced at the hourglass beside him.When a quarter of an hour came, he pretended not to see it.Eunuch Quan, who was serving tea on the other side, saw that he was silent, and realized that his chance had come.Eunuch Quan said flatteringly, "Your Majesty! It's a quarter of an hour!"Princess Jingning glared at him.Qin Jiang was going crazy with joy.Wei Ting, so what if you break one of my ribs?In the end, Su Cheng couldn't compete with me at all!Xiao Duye picked up the teacup and leaned slightly towards Xiao Chonghua's side: "Third Brother, Big Brother congratulates you in advance."Xiao Chonghua tasted tea expressionlessly.Emperor Jingxuan also lost his patience a little. He glanced at the empty seat next to Qin Canglan, and said calmly, "The second round..."Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of communication not far away."The Lord Protector seeks an audience"Qin Jiang shook his hand.Who asks to see?Lord Protector?He straightened up strangely, turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, and saw a man in silver armor with a sword on his shoulder, walking towards the arena mightily and domineeringly.If not Su Cheng, who else?At this moment, Su Cheng was not the commoner he saw at the joint for the first time, nor was he the father who was furious in the middle of the night a few days ago, he put on the armor that gleamed coldly.Like a general rushing to the battlefield.His demeanor has undergone an earth-shaking change.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Jiang couldn't believe it.Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting also came over.They didn't talk, they just "coincidentally" met at the gate of the palace.The three saluted Emperor Jingxuan.This was the first time that Emperor Jingxuan saw the father and daughter living among the people.The little girl is chubby, with delicate features, round and cute, but her eyes are very cold.Although he grew up in the countryside, he doesn't have the slightest bit of petty air in him. He behaves dignifiedly, calmly, and has a heroic air that is rarely seen in women.As expected, Su Cheng is Qin Canglan's own son. He looks more like Qin Jiang than Qin Jiang. He also bears the shadow of Marquis Zhenbei, and his nephew looks like an uncle.Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Are you Qin Che?"Off TopicThe big fat chapter is here, the number of words in the two changes.Remember to vote for the monthly ticket, okay~7017k
