Zheng Ji put away his long sword, raised his hand to Cao Ning and said, "I accept it."
"No concession, I... can't beat your Highness." Cao Ning shook his head, and then asked naively: "Your Highness, I... although I can't beat you, but... can I still join your team?"
She took a deep look at Cao Ning and said with a smile, "It depends on how well you train next."
Regardless of whether this Cao Ning was the Cao Ning she knew in her previous life, this person was not as honest as he seemed.
During the fight, she could feel that he was indeed fighting with all his strength, especially with the first blow, he had no reservations.
However, this person was extremely keen and immediately noticed her plan and responded quickly. He was indeed trying his best, but he had no intention of resisting.
When fighting against an enemy, if there is no resistance, no matter how powerful the moves are, they will be useless.
Cao Ning knew this very well. He wanted to follow her wishes, but also wanted not to go against the rules of the martial arts competition. Judging from the results, it was quite successful.
Cao Ning did it in full view of the public, which is a very difficult thing to do.
This is a smart man, a smart man with a very utilitarian mind.
Zheng Ji has seen many such people in his two generations.
As for whether she would let him join her team, she would have to take another look...
In the end, for the sake of the Cao Ning in his previous life, he had a little more patience with the Cao Ning in front of him.
After receiving this answer, Cao Ning stepped aside with satisfaction.
It is impossible for a person as smart as His Highness Chang Ding to see through his plans, but as long as His Highness Chang Ding does not directly refuse, he will have a chance.
Zhao Shuao came to Zheng Ji and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this competition was very good. It really opened my eyes. Congratulations to Your Highness for winning this competition."
What he said really came from his heart.
After seeing Zheng Ji's competition, he really felt that his horizons had been opened, and he knew that he had been limited by rumors before.
What Princess Changding showed was not what the rumors said. Perhaps, there are many surprises waiting for him next.
As for Princess Changding's thoughts, he could more or less guess it now.
He felt strange that it was just a small competition, why it caused such a big commotion in the martial arts pavilion.
It turns out that this was Princess Changding’s daughter’s purchase of horse bones!
fair enough.
After so many years, Wuge became more and more lifeless. He threw a stick into the water, but only someone like His Highness Changding could hold the stick and stir up the entire water.
By then, whether it is a dragon or a fish under the water, they will be able to clearly see it.
After Zhao Shuao congratulated Zheng Ji, he left with several gentlemen. After they left, the people who stayed in Guichang began to get excited.
how to say?
Although many people couldn't believe that Princess Changding won, the Pavilion Master said so, so there must be a reason.
What's more important is that a little-known soldier may join Princess Changding's team, so they...
At the thought of this, the soldiers here in Guichang became eager.
Before, they may have been afraid or disdainful, and did not dare to get too close to Princess Changding, but once someone made this move and they knew that Princess Changding could be approached, and now there was such a suitable opportunity, then they would not Same!
After all, Princess Changding is the emperor's favorite princess, her grandfather is the richest man in the Dade Dynasty, and she also has a certain amount of strength herself.
Not to mention that following Princess Changding would lead to immense power, but one would definitely gain more than ordinary people.
"Your Highness, I am also good at wielding a long sword. Do you think I can join your team?"
"Your Highness, I use a bow and arrow, which can penetrate a poplar with a hundred steps. You see..."
All of a sudden, everyone was no longer afraid of Princess Chang Ding. They surrounded her and asked her, and some even said that they were good at using darkness.
As long as you want to inflict evil on someone, there will always be a time when you don't succeed.
Zheng Ji smiled and nodded in response. This was why she wanted to attract the most attention and defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. .
She wanted to know which of the people in Wuge Guichang were available and who were willing to be used by her.
She subconsciously looked at Du Fengju through the layers of martial arts soldiers, but saw that his expression was calm, and there seemed to be a flash of worry in his eyes.
Zheng Ji's smile narrowed slightly. Feng Ju would definitely understand this move of buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins. She saw him nodding before the competition started, and she obviously agreed.
This...what's going on?
The night had darkened. Zheng Ji walked to Du Fengju and asked, "Mr. Du, would you like to accompany me for a walk?"
Du Fengju nodded naturally.
He has been waiting here until everyone here in Guichang has left, just to wait for Zheng Ji.
The weather in July is the hottest time. Even though it is late, the heat waves are still coming one after another.
Zheng Ji and Du Fengju walked side by side. Guichang was not as good as the martial arts arena at Princess Changding's Mansion, and the sound of fighting could be vaguely heard outside.
This made Zheng Ji feel a little anxious. She took a deep breath and asked directly: "Mr. Du, what's going on? Could it be that we did something wrong today?"
"..." Du Fengju opened his mouth. He knew that His Highness was always keen, but he did not expect that he would notice him on such an occasion.
He then smiled and said, "No, Your Highness did the right thing, but I have doubts."
His Highness competed with Cao Ning. Every move was correct, and his intention to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars was not wrong, but that was not what he had in mind.
But, how should I say this?
He hesitated for a moment, catching the flash of anxiety in the other person's eyes, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, then met Zheng Ji's eyes and asked, "Your Highness, have you wandered between life and death countless times?"
Zheng Ji was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this.
For some reason, she felt that it was stuffy and hot here in Guichang, which made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, I can tell from your moves. If Your Highness hadn't always been wandering between life and death, you wouldn't have used your adoptive father's martial arts like this..." Du Fengju sighed softly and replied.
He deliberately lowered his voice to the word "adopted father" so that no one except Zheng Ji heard it.
His adoptive father is the teacher of His Highness. All the martial arts skills and techniques that His Highness knows are inherited from his adoptive father. Moreover, they must not be taught by his adoptive father, but... passed on by him after his guidance.
My adoptive father has passed away many years ago. Before he passed away, all he cared about was that no one could inherit his martial arts skills except him.
He didn't know what happened in the future that His Highness met, and what kind of chance coincidence led him to teach His Highness his adoptive father's martial arts skills, but...
From his perspective, his adoptive father's martial arts mentality should not be like this!
