Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian looked at each other and at the same time looked at His Highness Prince Ning.
"The fight is unfair? Why?" Shen Cha tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Are they the so-called companions around Ancestor Xue?"
"This idea is correct." His Highness Prince Ning nodded appreciatively, "Keep guessing."
"Hmm..." Shen Cha thought for a while, and a sarcastic smile flashed across his face, "Probably because he lost. Not only was he unable to be in the limelight, but he was also greatly embarrassed in front of so many people in Xijing City. They felt that it was not good for their face, so they put the debt on the head of Ancestor Xue. They thought that after this incident, the ancestor was deeply disgusted with Ancestor Xue, and thought that if they could beat Ancestor Xue violently or If they cause trouble for Ancestor Xue and vent their anger on Ancestor Xue, they will be able to gain a firm foothold in Xijing City and have a backer, right?"
"I'm pretty close to guessing." His Highness Prince Ning nodded and raised his eyebrows at Shen Cha, "But it's not quite complete yet. You can continue to guess and be bold. Their ideas are not as restrained as yours."
"Be bold?" Shen Cha looked at His Highness Prince Ning in confusion, then turned to look at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, "This is already very bold, Uncle Wang, how much more bold can you be?"
"There are some people here who left the campus in frustration after losing in the first round. Maybe they met someone on their way back to the inn, or maybe they were stopped by someone before they left the campus. Yes." Xue Ruitian looked at His Highness Prince Ning, "Really?"
"This idea is very close, but it's not accurate enough. Who do you think they were stopped by?"
"This..." Jin Miaomiao touched his chin and said with a confused look, "They are from other places. They have no relatives and no roots in Xijing City. It can be said that the wealthy and noble people in Xijing City, If anyone stops them, they will be flattered, right? Moreover, the person who stops them will not be a nobleman himself. It doesn't even need the first housekeeper to come forward. It only needs the second housekeeper or something to stop them, and they will be obedient. After all, if you finish your errands, you can become a successful person."
"That's right." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "You can really be bolder and think about what kind of people would be unhappy if Xue Jinchang won the martial arts examination and became a new force in the Ministry of War. It would be very dangerous. of."
Shen Cha leaned against Shen Haolin and yawned. She spent a long time trying to figure out who would not want Xue Jinchang to become the best in martial arts. She felt a little tired and closed her eyes, feeling a little drowsy.
For some reason, when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought of Su Yao and Su Yao's final solution. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at His Highness Prince Ning.
"What's wrong? Is it a nightmare?"
His Highness Prince Ning saw that she seemed to be asleep, and he gestured to the others, asking them to speak in a lower voice. As soon as he finished gesticulating, he saw Shen Cha suddenly opening her eyes and staring at him, which almost scared him. Jump.
"No, I haven't fallen asleep completely yet. I just suddenly thought of something. Uncle Wang didn't mention Su Yao's fate for nothing, right?"
His Highness Prince Ning looked at her with admiration and clapped his hands gently.
"Finally figured it out!"
"So, it was the people in the palace who stopped these angry moves?" Seeing His Highness Prince Ning nod his head, Shen Cha frowned, "Well..."
"What are you thinking about?" His Highness Prince Ning smiled, "Since you have already thought of someone from the palace, you can be a little more bold. You are only one step away from the correct answer."
"I'm thinking that at this time, the last emperor of the previous dynasty should be in his prime. If he wants to seize power, he should cultivate his own strength. An opportunity like martial arts is a good time for him to cultivate his own people. "Why..." Shen Cha shook his head in confusion, "I don't understand why he would choose those who failed instead of Ancestor Xue."
"Because of Xue Jinchang's persistence." His Highness Prince Ning sighed. He looked at Shen Haolin and found that he understood her words. He nodded silently. He looked at Shen Cha again, still looking puzzled, and smiled. Said, "Let's put it this way, if he gave up this competition and left this big campus when he barely won the first round, the people in the palace would directly stop him, and he would also become a knife in the hands of the last emperor. A sword that can directly deal with the military generals of Xijing City. But he does not have it, so the people in the palace believe that if he becomes the top martial arts scholar or any one of the top three, he will become a hidden danger to the imperial power. They need military power, and they also need an obedient sword, Xue Jinchang It is definitely not the first choice, and the behavior of the other candidates is exactly what the emperor predicted, so this is the main reason why they were stopped."
"Then what did the Emperor ask these losers to do? Provoke Ancestor Xue and beat them to death in front of so many people in Xijing City, as well as many noble military generals who came out of uniform and their confidants?"
"It's not impossible. With his cautious style, he can do it."
The expression on Shen Cha's face was very complicated, and she didn't know what to say. In her opinion, the last emperor of the previous dynasty was miserable in his later years, and the court was controlled by that grand master, all because he committed too many sins in his youth.
"Wait a minute!" Jin Miaomiao finally came to his senses, "Do you think it was the last emperor of the previous dynasty who stopped those who gave in and wanted to destroy ancestor Xue?" Everyone around him nodded. Nodding, she was speechless, "You all know?"
"After all, the military generals want their power to grow, and they will definitely not do such dirty things. And the people who don't want the military generals to grow the most are not the civil servants we think, because they know very well that without the military generals, they will not be able to do anything. You can live such a comfortable life and do whatever you want." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "The only one who doesn't want to continue to develop as a general is the last emperor. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that he would be exhausted. , but she made a wedding dress for someone." He paused and looked at His Highness Prince Ning, "So, those moves did not leave the campus at all, but waited until the competition was over and the winner was determined, and then they The ancestors are starting to get angry, right?”
"Well!" His Highness Prince Ning nodded slightly, "They asked to compete with Xue Jinchang, one-on-one, in a wheel-and-wheel battle. At this time, Xue Jinchang was exhausted. Not to mention the martial arts competition, even when he left the campus, he needed the support of his cousin. .”
"It's so shameless to take advantage of the situation!" Jin Miaomiao patted the small table at hand and said viciously.
"I'll take advantage of your illness to kill you!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "He and that grand master are worthy of being their son-in-law, and their methods are exactly the same."
