"Why don't you speak? Are you afraid?"
When Lu Yihai saw Xia Tan'er standing there silently after hearing what he said about the rules of the competition, and looking at him with a speechless expression, he couldn't help but open his mouth to provoke her.
"If you are afraid, you can admit defeat earlier. I, the general, can pretend that this never happened."
Xia Tan'er pursed her lips and made a sighing expression.
"Uncle, I suddenly felt that it was a bit boring to just compete between you and me to win or lose without any bets. A big scene like me versus hundreds of thousands must be worthy of a huge bet."
A simple word about winning or losing can overshadow such a big competition. Xia Tan'er is not that easy to deceive. She has to squeeze some blood out of Lu Yihai no matter what, otherwise she will be too worthless for her own brain cells.
"What do you think?"
"What bet do you want?"
Seeing Lu Yihai taking the bait, Xia Tan'er pretended to be thinking hard and looked at the audience. Suddenly, she had an idea and immediately looked at Lu Yihai.
"If I win, how about you let me pick a few people from your Lu family army to work with me."
Lu Yihai raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Dong Lingjiu, who had just sneaked into the scene. Xia Tan'er wasn't afraid of Dong Lingjiu being jealous when he said this. I broke into a cold sweat for Xia Tan'er.
"Uncle, how are you?"
"Okay, but what if you lose?"
"I will obey my uncle's orders and do whatever he wants me to do. I will do whatever my uncle asks me to do without any complaints."
"Then what if I ask you to marry the person I designate?"
Dong Lingjiu paused again, and just by raising his eyes, he understood what Lu Yihai meant by saying this. It was clear that he was using Xia Tan'er's marriage to threaten him not to meddle in other people's business and help Xia Tan'er during the battle.
One side was Xia Tan'er, and the other was Xia Tan'er's marriage. Although Dong Lingjiu knew that Lu Yihai would still point out Xia Tan'er to him if he won, but the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he would not be happy to give up any of them.
"Okay, I told you to let uncle do whatever he wants."
"Okay! That's it. The competition is limited to three days starting from this afternoon. If you can take Ye Qing's life within these three days, you will win. If you can't or if you are caught by Ye Qing's people, you will lose. , of course, what this general said is not really fatal, but just a way to kill."
"I see."
"Okay, we can start after we have lunch later. Ye Qing, do you hear me?"
"Yes, General."
For an instant, Xia Tan'er and Ye Qing looked at each other. Their eyes seemed to be blazing with war, and their momentum was unstoppable.
"Miss Xia, please don't show mercy."
"General Ye, each other."
The harsh words were put down, and with Lu Yihai's dismissal, several people returned to their camps.
In an instant, only Lu Yihai and Dong Lingjiu were left in Ruoda's school grounds. Seeing Dong Lingjiu sitting there with a calm expression and not showing any sign of wanting to defend Xia Tan'er, Lu Yihai really aroused a little curiosity.
"On weekdays, when you see Tan'er being wronged, you don't look like the Nine Emperors Uncle that this general knows. What happened to the Nine Emperors Uncle today that he can take this victory or defeat so lightly?"
"It's nothing. I understand that bullying the younger ones by the big ones is my uncle's test for Tan'er. It is not convenient for me, an outsider, to interfere in the affairs of the Lu family."
"Since you call me uncle, you have never been an outsider to the Lu family, but you can rest assured, Tan'er."
"Well, don't worry, but compared to Tan'er, I think those rumors are good. Uncle, you are really an old fox."
"Oh? How to say it."
He had long been used to hearing the words "old fox", but it was a bit new to hear these three words from Dong Lingjiu's mouth today.
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. My uncle may have changed his decision temporarily because he saw Lu Jiajun's attitude."
"Even if it's what you said, do you think Tan'er alone can be worth hundreds of thousands of our General Lu?"
"As the saying goes, he who laughs last is the one who laughs best."
"It seems that Uncle Nine Emperors thinks that Tan'er can win."
Dong Ling Jiuqing smiled at the corner of his lips, took out a stack of paper from his arms and patted Lu Yihai's chest.
"Uncle, you can take a look when you have nothing to do."
"What's this?"
"art of war."
With that said, Dong Lingjiu stood up and said goodbye to Lu Yihai, then followed Xia Tan'er and left. Lu Yihai was left standing alone, looking at Dong Lingjiu's back for a while, and then looking at the girl in his arms. A stack of paper and a confused look on his face.
"The art of war? What art of war?"
Lu Yihai was puzzled and lowered his head to tidy up the stack of papers in his arms. But just when he was about to read it carefully, Ye Qing came out of nowhere and stopped Lu Yihai.
"General."
"What's the matter?"
"My subordinates are puzzled by the general's actions today. I dare to ask the general why he temporarily let his subordinates take over. I also want to ask the general how powerful this girl Xia is. I also want to ask the general how far we have captured Miss Xia. What else can we do?" General, please clear up your subordinates’ confusion.”
Lu Yihai once again felt that talking to smart people could indeed save a lot of energy.
He sighed and said nothing about those details, but only emphasized one sentence to Ye Qing.
"Tan'er is pregnant. Remember not to make any mistakes lightly. You can take care of the rest by yourself. I, the general, have gone to rest."
"Congratulations, General."
Ye Qing watched Lu Yihai leave until he disappeared from sight, then raised his hand and waved, and then a personal guard came out from the corner.
"General."
"Pass me an order to arrange for people to surround Miss Xia's camp before noon. If we catch the person earlier, we can deliver the mission earlier. Don't waste training time."
"yes."
But Xia Tan'er, who was supposed to be in the camp at this moment, was standing on the top of the mountain, sitting on a rocking chair, leisurely munching on melon seeds and basking in the sun.
Feng Muchi on the side crossed his legs, sipping a sip of tea and nibbling a snack in a leisurely manner.
After a while, a man in black came out from the corner, whispered a few words in Feng Muchi's ear, and then retreated.
Feng Muchi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly patted the crumbs on his hands and looked at Xia Tan'er with admiration.
"Tan'er, our people said that Ye Qing doesn't have martial ethics. As soon as you left, he arranged for people to catch turtles in a jar for you. Fortunately, you were so smart that we came out without even returning to the camp."
"There is no time for the battlefield to begin. It must be that once war is declared, it will directly enter the state of war. Then Ye Qing looks down on me as a little girl, so I naturally want to make him make a fool of himself and let him know about women. It’s not someone to be trifled with.”
"Well, what you said makes sense, but if you didn't even tell Dong Lingjiu, would he be angry?"
"His current situation is unclear between the enemy and us, so giving up on him is the best way. In a battle between two armies, I can't keep an unclear person by my side."
