Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 333 Competition (3)
Yueqing sat down, pouting, and Qing'er carried her along her back. Yue Ke and Chang Ge also walked forward worriedly. Chang Ge looked at the troublemaker with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Shi Rong said with some humor: "The princess is too impatient, she really shocked me."
Yue Qing glared at him: "You are still laughing, and it's not because of you. We are so familiar with each other. When encountering this kind of situation, as a man, you must not stand up and scold him back first, and you have to make me angry."
Mo Xue said from the side: "There is indeed something wrong with General Shi Rong. Since the young lady is already dissatisfied because of this matter, why didn't General Shi Rong stop him? Is he deliberately trying to test the young lady's thoughts?"
Shi Rong said: "Mr. Mo is overthinking. I just think there is no benefit in fighting for the moment."
"How Shi Mansion dealt with such provocative words at that time was none of our villa's business, but today the person competing with Shi Hu in the field was someone close to the young lady. Does General Shi Rong think that this matter is only your Shi Mansion's business? . The man who just started provoking because of this matter will make the lady blame him.
The young lady is kind-hearted and does not want to have a fight with you. Today's competition is only due to the dispute between the Prince of Qin and the Prime Minister. It is your own choice for General Shihu to play. General Shi Rong, doesn’t he think that the young lady should be dismissed? "
Shi Rong did not answer.
Mo Xue continued: "General Shi Rong doesn't seem to be a stupid person. He can't even understand this point. No wonder others don't think wrongly."
Shi Rong said: "It's Shi Rong's lack of consideration."
Yue Qing looked at them and suddenly felt that there was some conflict between the two people. Just as he was puzzled, he heard Mo Xue say: "After seeing this, the young lady must be a little thirsty and can't get used to drinking such coarse tea. Please ask General Shi Rong to prepare some Ruyi."
Shi Rong smiled and said: "That's fine, it's my turn to apologize to the princess."
Yue Qing was about to give it up when Mo Xue said, "Thank you."
Shi Rong glanced at Yue Qing, gave her a comforting look, and turned to prepare tea.
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue, "What are you doing? Something is so serious."
Mo Xue said: "This is not a trivial matter. Mo Xue would like to say something to the lady. The lady should not be so angry about this matter. It is not worthwhile to hurt the body because of a few nonsense words. Besides, what General Shi Rong said is right, the lady has some He was impatient, Mo Xue thought that the young lady would feel much better when she came to see the hunt, but instead she was even more impatient than usual."
Yue Qing said, "If Shi Rong is not returned, I will be angry. Of course I have to return it."
"Sima Xiaoguan, if Miss is really angry, you can leave it to Mo Xue to deal with him."
Yue Qing was amused: "What can you do with him?"
"Of course the officials of Li State must be handled by Emperor Li. If the emperor is not here at this time, they can be left to the prince to handle them."
Yue Qing secretly glanced at the prince who seemed to be watching the game seriously and pouted.
Mo Xue said softly: "Miss, you are not satisfied with the prince?"
Yue Qing muttered in a low voice: "When Prince Qin and the Crown Prince had conflicts with us earlier, we didn't see the Crown Prince turning towards us much."
Mo Xue smiled and said: "That's because the young lady only knows the surface. From the prince's position, that is the most favorable move he can make to you. The situation in Li country is complicated, and power is not completely in the hands of the royal family.
The three people who have conflicts with the young lady today, the Crown Prince of Qin represents the power of the King of Qin, the Young Master of the Prime Minister's Office represents the power of the Prime Minister of Qin, and that is the Shaofu He Sui. Although his rank is not high, he still has a pivotal position in the palace. Those three No one, not the prince, should be offended too much. Being able to express his position in public and stand by the young lady is already doing his best. The young lady will understand when she knows more in the future.
The prince has the best conduct among all the princes, he is virtuous, generous, and sensible. When dealing with the affairs of the villa, he pays more attention to the relationship between the two parties. With the advice of Emperor Li, he mostly cares for the young lady. . "
"You are leaning towards him. It looks like you know each other quite well."
Mo Xue said: "The Mo family has connections with various royal families. When we return to the other courtyard, the young lady would like to know. Mo Xue can explain it carefully to the young lady."
Yue Qing looked at him: "Okay, what you said makes sense. Next time something like this happens again, I'll let you handle it."
Mo Xue smiled and said: "That's right. In addition, Mo Xue originally wanted to punish them elsewhere for the prince of Qin's offense against the young lady, but today the young lady has already been avenged. If you are still not satisfied after a while, , just deal with it more harshly in the future."
Yueqing raised a small fan and covered her mouth with a smile: "What are you going to do with them?"
Mo Xue said: "Prince Qin's Mansion has been having a hard time due to some things recently. The close relationship between Prince Qin's Mansion and Prime Minister Qin's Mansion will be somewhat implicated. Furthermore, people from Prince Qin's Mansion have also done a lot of unruly things. . The forces in Li country are complex, and there are more than one or two people who don't want them to live well. The reason they can cause trouble for the young lady here is because they live a very leisurely life. If the house gets busy, they will naturally have no energy to disturb the young lady. "
Yue Qing grinned and said: "Why do you have such news in your hand? The reason for paying attention to Prince Yongjing's Palace is because my mother is here. Why are you paying attention to Qin Xiangfu and Prince Qin's Palace?"
Mo Xue was silent for a moment and said: "Young lady will definitely come into contact with these things when she arrives in Li Country. Since you can't stop her, of course you have to be prepared."
Yue Qing stopped laughing: "Oh, you are quite powerful."
Mo Xue chuckled. "If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me. It will save you a lot of detours."
Yue Qing curled her lips and nodded. "Okay, I know."
Mo Xue took a look at the competition in the field.
"Except for not mentioning it just now, the lady seems to really like this kind of program."
"It's not bad. I really like it. It's much more interesting than mountain climbing."
"It's not difficult. It can also be held in the villa."
"No, no, I'm just happy to see it today. It would be boring if I saw it every day."
Mo Xue nodded.
Yue Qing thought to herself: If this event were to be held in the villa, I don’t know how many people would be dispatched. It is estimated that just setting up the viewing platform would require mobilizing troops and spending a lot of manpower and financial resources.
Mo Xue said: "Young lady has many thoughts that she doesn't want to tell me now."
Yue Qing turned to look at him.
"Have it?"
Mo Xuewen smiled and said, "Yes, since the young lady left the villa, she often consults with me and asks me any questions she has."
"That's because you are the leader, so of course I have to discuss it with you."
"Miss, you think I'm not the leader now?"
"Still." Yue Qing rolled her eyes and said, "But I know more things than when I was at the villa, I have met more people, and I have my own opinions on some things."
"I see. It seems that Miss will gradually no longer need me."
Yue Qing tilted her head and looked at him: "How could it be? You are sincere to me. I know it in my heart. How come I don't need you?"
Mo Xue laughed: "Miss's words made Mo Xue feel good."
Yue Qing got stuck and said, "You, you are so easy to coax."
Mo Xue smiled gently again and turned to look at the hunting ground.
Yue Qing looked at his side face and thought about it carefully. She really hadn't talked to Mo Xue much recently. It should be said that she hadn't talked much since she moved to Qinghu Villa. She only talked with the two elders after they left. once.
In fact, you can't say that. After all, after arriving at Qinghu Villa, Mo Xue lived in the middle courtyard, and they didn't often enter the inner courtyard where they lived. We met less and talked less. He didn't have any special problems that needed to be solved, and he couldn't solve some problems.
Yue Qing sighed in her heart: Mo Xue is too thoughtful and thinks too much.
Thinking of this, I felt a little more relaxed. I took a small fan and fanned it a few times with a smile. I also looked towards the hunting ground to find Qi Jiao and the others.
As he was watching, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Mo Xue was indeed thoughtful, but he would not trouble himself because of this matter. Could it be that he was feeling something? What was he trying to remind himself of? Yue Qing frowned as she thought about it, looked at him again, feeling a little discouraged, sighed, then looked at Chang Yuxiao beside her, gritting her teeth.
Shi Rong ran back, carrying a tea tray.
"I'm late, Princess, please forgive me. I don't know what Princess is used to drinking this tea."
After saying that, he put the tea tray on the small table next to Yue Qing.
Qing'er stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."
As he spoke, he took the celadon pot from Shi Rong's hand and poured a cup for Yue Qing.
Yue Qing took it, took a sip and put it down.
Shi Rongxiao asked: "The princess may be used to drinking this tea."
Yue Qing also smiled and said: "Yes."
Shi Rong said: "After drinking this tea, the princess will be relieved."
Yue Qing said: "Mo Xue is just teasing you, don't take it seriously."
Shi Rong said: "You may not take what others say seriously, but I dare not take what Mr. Mo says seriously."
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue.
Mo Xue didn't seem to notice them.
Shi Rong looked at the hunting ground and said, "I didn't expect the guards at the villa to be so proficient in horse fighting."
Yue Qing also looked over, "Are you proficient? I don't understand this."
"Of course, it's far beyond my expectations."
"oh."
"I thought there was no war in the villa, so we wouldn't practice these things."
Chang Ge said from the side: "General Shi Rong, Miss is simple-minded and doesn't understand your twists and turns. You want to make a cliché and ask the wrong person. You should ask Qi Jiao."
Shi Rong smiled and said: "Mr. Chang Ge, where is this? Shi Rong just sighed in his heart."
Chang Ge obviously didn't have as good an eloquence as Mo Xue, so he just said, "You know it yourself."
Just as Shi Rong was about to give it back, Yue Qing interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't show off your eloquence. With such eloquence, you should have dealt with the person who provoked you. Chang Ge can't defeat you. You are just standing here in the villa." I'm just guarding you. Who made you so curious? Don't ask me more questions like this in the future, especially in front of Chang Ge."
Chang Ge was a little pleased at first, but after hearing the end, he sat back with a straight face.
Yue Ke was talking to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Seeing that his face was a little cold, he glanced at him.
"Why, the young lady is angry again. Let's leave these matters to Mo Xue from now on. You really don't know how to persuade others."
Chang Ge didn't look at him.
Yue Ke smiled.
Shi Rong is here explaining to Yue Qing the characteristics of the weapons used by everyone on the field.
"Liu Chiwei's use of the soft sword is really wonderful. In cooperation with Chang Bai, one soft and one strong, it actually completely blocked the prince's movements."
"Really? I think the two of them can't beat King Bowei. Can they be called powerful?"
Shi Rong said: "Princess, King Bowei's kung fu is not only at the top, he is also hard to find an opponent in the Li Kingdom. What's more, the prince has been fighting all year round, and he is very good at horse fighting. Your two red guards can fight on par with him. This shows the high ability of the two people. Besides, these two people did not try their best."
"How did you tell?"
Shi Rong sighed and said: "Because they often create opportunities for their opponents to counterattack, the prince is probably very angry at the moment. The same goes for Rong Chiwei, who are completely hanging on the prince of Qin. Qi Jiao's side is even more so. Leave it to Shi Hu and the others."
Yue Qing looked at several places and said, "Why can't I see it at all? Aren't these all pretty good?"
Shi Rong shook his head.
Yue Qing suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. She just wanted to make Prince Qin look bad, but she didn't want to hurt others.
After thinking about it, he stood up and shouted to the audience: "Chang Rong~"
People around him turned their heads to look, and Shi Rong's heart skipped a beat again.
Chang Rong had just withdrawn Prince Qin's sword when he heard the shouts and turned his head to look over.
I saw Yueqing put her hand to her mouth and shouted: "Knock him off the horse quickly."
Chang Rong raised his hand and made a gesture, and Yue Qing smiled. This was the gesture agreed upon by Yue Qing in the woods outside the forbidden area, indicating that there was no problem.
Yueqing sat back.
Turning around, Shi Rong had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you doing, Princess?"
"Cheer up Chang Rong, this will end early."
Shi Rong frowned.
Yue Qing turned to look at Mo Xue.
Mo Xue had a smile on her face, and when she looked at the others, most of the people in the Li country looked at her with strange eyes, while those at the Villa had such expressions. The prince sitting on the side frowned and looked at the venue intently.
Yue Qing looked at Shi Rong and said, "This is how our Villa cheers for others."
Shi Rong said: "That's it." After saying that, he frowned and looked at the field.
Prince Qin was breathing heavily at this time, his eyes were a little red, and he was a little unsteady on the sword in his hand. He looked at the enemy in front of him. Fear that he had never experienced before weighed on him. He knew that he could not defeat the enemy in front of him. King Bowei was entangled by the other two and couldn't escape. Shi Hu and Marquis Dingyuan were too far away to care about him.
At this time, he was extremely resentful of his cousin for causing this trouble for him, and he was itching to hate He Jicheng. Why should he offend the Princess Shun'an? It's only because I have just returned to Beijing not long ago that I don't know the attitude of the palace. It's useless to think about it at this time.
The prince was still sitting on the stage. No matter what, he couldn't be too embarrassed. The shame was not just for himself, but also for the Prince of Qin's Palace and the Kingdom of Li. Thinking about it, he tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
Chang Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have a good temper, but it's a pity that you shouldn't mess with our lady."
Prince Qin said: "Stop talking nonsense and let your horse come over. Let's see if you can knock me off the horse."
Chang Rong snorted coldly, turned the halberd behind him and picked it up.
The Prince of Qin raised his sword to block it, but the force of the halberd did not block it. When the Prince of Qin was struggling to hold on, King Bowei raised his sword and stabbed him.
Chang Rong stepped back and Prince Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go." King Bowei shouted.
Prince Qin patted his horse and followed him.
The two of them ran towards the woods where obstacles were set up in the field.
Chang Rong did not chase, but looked back at Chang Liu and the other two.
Chang Liu rode over and said, "King Bowei is trying to get out of our control even if he is injured. The young lady only said to deal with the prince of Qin, but we did not dare to actually hurt him."
Chang Rong nodded.
Chang Bai came over and said, "Do you want to chase me in?"
"Don't worry, we don't occupy a good position. There may be some traps in the forest. After all, they are not real enemies. It's okay to give them a chance to breathe. Let's go and join Commander Jiao first."
The two nodded. "good."
On Qi Jiao's side, Shi Hu and Shi Hu also ran into the forest because he released the water.
Qi Jiao sat on the horse and stood outside for a while, then slowly walked in the direction of the flag.
The two of Shi Hu ran for a while, but when they saw that Qi Jiao did not catch up, they turned around and cursed: "Damn, they are no match at all. This is too strong."
Marquis Dingyuan said: "It's not going well with the prince either. Let's join them first."
"That's all, mother, it's so embarrassing."
The forest with obstacles was not big, and soon the four of them gathered together.
"Your Majesty, it's useless for us to wait. We are no match at all."
King Bowei nodded: "No problem, I have been mentally prepared for this. I just didn't expect my opponent to be so strong. Not only do they have high martial arts skills, they are also good at horse fighting, and they work together even more tacitly."
Shi Hu nodded: "Yes, that Qi Jiao is too powerful. When an ordinary riding whip was in his hand, it was more powerful than any weapon. It hit me so hard that my head was covered. If Dingyuan Hou hadn't cooperated, I wouldn't have been able to do this right now." I'm still letting him play around. My lord, don't you think all the red guards in the villa are so powerful?"
"Probably not. As far as I know, the Red Guards are the more outstanding warriors in the villa, but their number is not large, only about twenty people."
"There were only about twenty people, so the princess brought out 5 of them. No, if you add San Yuxiao, it's 6. Damn it, I've only heard that San Yuxiao is powerful. I've never seen the Red Guards take action. No. I never imagined that they would be so powerful. The two who didn’t show up still don’t know how powerful they are.”
King Bowei did not answer him.
Shi Hu continued: "Thankfully, the Villa has never been hostile to outsiders. It would be terrible if we encountered this on the battlefield."
Marquis Dingyuan looked at King Bowei's clothes on his chest and asked, "Is the prince injured?"
"Some superficial injuries, nothing to worry about. I am entangled by those two people. I can't get rid of them unless I work harder."
Marquis Dingyuan looked at the Prince of Qin's arm again: "It seems that the Prince's injury is not serious."
Prince Qin's face looked a little defeated: "If your skills are not good, you can't blame others."
King Bowei said: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. In front of them, no one's skills are good. They can still hold a sword in their arms."
"Yes, the Red Guard said he wanted to teach me a lesson, but he didn't really want to hurt me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me."
"No need to say thank you, we are partners in the same camp. We should support each other."
The Prince of Qin nodded: "Are the Marquis and General Shi Hu okay? It was me who caused you trouble. I feel a little sorry."
Marquis Dingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. Although the Qi Jiao is powerful, it didn't hurt us. It seemed like it was playing with us."
Prince Qin lowered his head and said, "I am the one who made you suffer this humiliation. After today, I will treat you to a few more drinks."
Marquis Dingyuan said with a smile: "In this case, we will have to wait for the prince to drink. The prince does not need to blame himself too much. After all, we decided to play on our own, and we also asked for this humiliation."
After speaking, he looked at King Bowei: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
King Bowei said: "We definitely can't win, but we can't lose too badly. We have a good location and we know what we want to know, so let's go out and give it a try."
Shi Hu said: "Okay, let's fight them."
Marquis Dingyuan said: "I guess the other party won't take us seriously either. But we can't be looked down upon too much."
Prince Qin tore off a piece of cloth, tied it to his hand and sword, and nodded firmly.
King Bowei said: "They are here to find the Crown Prince, so we must protect the Crown Prince and not let them succeed easily. Let's make use of our strengths and try our best to survive as long as possible."
The three of them nodded: "Yes."
After that, King Bowei led the team and rode out of the forest. When he looked up, he saw Qi Jiao and four others standing on the road ahead, waiting for them.
