Almost in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng surpassed Ning Hu, and the entire Prince Ji's palace echoed with Qin Feng's wanton voice: "Flying fairy from the sky!"
All officials who had anything to do with the "Zhuhe" faction looked ashen.
Ning Hu watched Qin Feng fly by with his eyes frightened and angry. When he tried his best to climb to the top of the tower, he found that Qin Feng was standing on the top of the tower with one foot and the other dangling in the air, deliberately delaying time. After Ning Hu reached half of his body to the top of the tower, Qin Feng slowly put away his left foot and took off the flag.
Give Ning Hu a glimmer of unrealistic hope, and then kill him immediately!
Xie Yun'er had seen bad people, but never one as bad as Qin Feng. Her mood was extremely complicated for a moment. She didn't know whether to be angry and disgusted, or to be afraid...
Ning Hu looked at the flag that Qin Feng held tightly in his hand, his eyes dazed for a while. This was Ning Hu's best chance to trip up Qin Feng, but the victory that was so close to him was easily reversed by Qin Feng. All the unwillingness in Ning Hu's heart turned into anger. He glanced at the bottom of the tower, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Qin Feng, I want to kill you! An alien like you is not worthy of being in the capital circle. I want to eliminate harm for the children of the capital!"
Looking at Ning Hu's almost crazy and distorted expression, Qin Feng was not afraid that it was fake. If this guy really got into it, he would just tear off the rope on his body and push it down casually. There would be no room for reasoning at that time!
Facing Ning Hu, who was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, Qin Feng pretended to be calm and forced a smile: "To kill in front of the saints and civil and military officials? How many heads can the Ning family lose? Xiao Hou Master, I’d like to give you a piece of advice: Impulse is the devil, young people should not take too big steps, as they can easily lead to misunderstandings.”
Ning Hu clenched his fists tightly and could rush forward to kill Qin Feng at any time, but in the end, reason prevailed. As Qin Feng said, if he did it here, the entire Ning family would definitely be buried with Qin Feng. It was not worth it!
The solemnity in Qin Feng's eyes flashed away, replaced by a confident and proud look. Qin Feng just liked Ning Hu's displeasure when he saw him, but he couldn't get rid of his depressed look.
The game was officially over, but the atmosphere in Prince Ji's Mansion became more solemn. The leader and the faction missed the perfect opportunity to defeat Qin Feng, and they all looked a little depressed.
The Minister of Household Affairs still refused to give up and lowered his voice: "Master Li, we still have a chance! Qin Feng is still using tricks this time, as long as..."
Before the Minister of Hubu could finish his words, the Minister of Hubu had already waved his hand to interrupt, and forced out a wry smile: "If we continue to entangle ourselves, I'm afraid we won't be facing Qin Feng, but the Saint."
After hearing this, the surrounding household ministers all stopped making any move.
Emperor Liang Longyan was overjoyed. With Qin Feng's victory, the issue of targeting Beidi had been confirmed. Unexpectedly, the troublesome matter that had been mediated for a long time in the court was actually solved by Qin Feng in this way.
Emperor Liang glanced at the ministers present: "The competition is over, Qin Feng is the winner, do you ministers have any objections?"
All the officials looked at each other in shock, and even the household department did not make any move. Naturally, other ministers would not take this as a standout. Just when Emperor Liang was about to officially announce the results of the competition, he heard a low shout.
"Revelation to the saint, I will not surrender!"
In an instant, all eyes on the scene were focused on Ning Qingquan.
There was a clear flash of displeasure in Emperor Liang's eyes, but he was not an arbitrary and foolish king. Since someone raised objections, they had to discuss it: "Qin Feng was the first to reach the top and capture the flag. It is obvious to all. What objection does Marquis Yong'an have?"
Ning Qingquan is not only the leader of the peace faction, he is even disgraced today. If he admits it like this, not to mention that the status of Yong'an Marquis will plummet in the future. In the future, whether Ning Hu can inherit his father's legacy and inherit the title is a question!
For the sake of the Ning family, Ning Qingquan risked his life and his attitude was extremely tough: "Qin Feng only knows how to be opportunistic. With his methods, even a three-year-old child can win!"
Seeing this situation, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue began to discuss it in a pretentious manner.
"Qin Feng did win, but opportunism is also a fact. If Qin Feng wins, it will be tantamount to encouraging speculation. Everyone will be like this in the future. How can anyone be willing to keep their feet on the ground?"
"This is true! Those who are down-to-earth lose, and those who are opportunistic win. If this spreads out, wouldn't everyone in the world follow suit?!"
Under the aggravation of officials from the Ministry of Revenue, the discussion on the scene became louder and louder. As a result, even Emperor Liang could not directly intervene.
At this moment, Qin Tianhu scolded him coldly: "You guys can't afford to lose? So what if you are just trying to take advantage? Before the competition, you all knew that Qin Feng used strategies to deal with Ning Hu's force. He didn't raise any objections before the competition. After the competition ended, I started to pick and choose. Was it because I was reluctant to part with the silver coins, or did I have ulterior motives?"
As Qin Tianhu came forward, the smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger. Officials who supported Qin Tianhu stood up and shouted loudly.
"Are you willing to gamble but not admit defeat? What a group of ministers and pillars of the country. If word spreads, the world will laugh at them."
The two sides got into a heated argument and refused to give in to each other, which was no different from a party dispute in the court.
Seeing a group of highly respected ministers making a fuss and even yelling at each other, Qin Feng's eyes gleamed. This kind of scene is not something you can see casually. He quickly moved a small bench and grabbed a handful of melon seeds. , while knocking, while being like a melon-eating crowd with relish.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Ning Qingquan's loud voice spread throughout the school: "It's pointless to continue arguing! It's better to let King Ji make the decision."
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs fully supported Ning Qingquan's proposal.
After all, today is the birthday banquet of King Ji, but Qin Feng made him very upset. King Ji must have hated Qin Feng in his heart.
Taking a step back, even if King Ji is not as knowledgeable as Qin Feng, he will try his best to keep a bowl of water balanced and not take sides. In this way, the winning rate of Ning Hu and Qin Feng will be 50-50, and Qin Feng will be evenly matched. All the advantages are destroyed!
How could Qin Tianhu not know the treacherous plot of Ning Qingquan and others, but if they continued to quarrel, it would not lead to any results, so he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then I will ask the old prince to take charge of the overall situation!"
King Ji, who had always stayed out of the matter, didn't expect that everyone would suddenly turn on him. He couldn't help but feel depressed. On the surface, he could only force a smile and said: "Since you all have made the decision for me, I will not refuse."
King Ji stood up and walked to Emperor Liang. He bowed his hands and said, neither humble nor overbearing, "To the saint, I have already retired to the court. There is no conflict of interests. I only want fairness and justice, and a bowl of water will be balanced."
After all, King Ji was the elder of Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang was also polite: "Uncle Wang just makes the decision."
For a moment, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats.
