Chapter 143 Response
"Go in." Chu Zhiyuan put away the Dragon Subduing Pillar.

My whole body was still trembling, and I felt warm as if I was soaking in a hot spring. I felt indescribably relaxed and a smile appeared on my face.

Bai Ningshuang came in gracefully, wearing a white dress with a golden hairpin on her head, swaying and shining with golden light, and said angrily: "You can still laugh now!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

He led Bai Ningshuang into the small pavilion next to them.

Mo Yi went forward and made a cup of tea.

Bai Ningshuang glanced at the four girls and nodded with satisfaction.

With Mo Yi's four daughters around, there is no need to worry about poor care.

The four of them have followed Chu Zhiyuan since they were young, and each of them is a good hand. They manage Tingtao Court in an orderly manner and can be said to have good ways of managing the household.

"Here you go." Bai Ningshuang took out a small jade box from her sleeves and handed it to him: "This was given to me by the queen. She said this is the only one."

Chu Zhiyuan opened it and took a look, and saw two pieces of dragon fat fragrance.

His smile grew wider.

"Yuan'er, even if you lose, the sky won't fall!" Bai Ningshuang looked at him distressedly and said softly, "Don't mess around and hurt yourself."

"I understand." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mom, my father, my younger sister and the others will go directly to the outside of Qitian Palace to watch the excitement tomorrow."

"...Okay." Bai Ningshuang hesitated to speak, and finally nodded slightly, stood up and left without saying anything more.

She really wanted Chu Zhiyuan to withdraw directly, saying that he was injured during training and cancel tomorrow's competition. Even if he lost, it would be better than being defeated miserably in front of everyone tomorrow and being beaten to a pulp.

But thinking of Chu Zhiyuan's personality, I knew it was useless to say more.

Once he has made up his mind, no amount of persuasion will help.

After Chu Zhiyuan sent Bai Ningshuang away, he looked at the two pieces of dragon fat incense and suddenly smiled.

The emperor is really calm. He won't give anything unless you ask for it.

These two pieces of dragon fat incense should be enough for a breakthrough.

Qitian Palace is located on a mountain peak ten miles outside of Yujing.

It is called Qitian Peak.

Qitian Peak is more than one thousand meters high.

There are more than 5,000 steps in total, and the white stone steps are polished to a shiny finish.

Qitian Peak is not only the place where the emperor prays to heaven every year, but also a scenic spot for the people of Yujing City to enjoy on a daily basis.

Qitian Peak is steep and difficult to climb, especially in the middle and upper sections, which are almost straight up and down. People who are afraid of heights all climb up with trembling hands and feet.

The top of Qitian Peak is spacious and flat like a round mirror.

A majestic round palace, with a circular white stone square below, spacious and flat. Standing on it, one always feels like floating in the air, as if reaching the sky.

This is also the motivation why the people of Yujing are so keen on climbing so high and taking so much effort to reach the top.

The early morning sun shines with golden light, and Qitian Peak looks like a golden mountain.

The steep and difficult top of Qitian Peak is already crowded with people.

Almost everyone in Yujing City knew that the fourth prince of Dajing wanted to compete with the ninth princess of Dameng.

Although there was no big stakes, it touched the hearts of all the people in Yujing.

Of course, there are also some gambling dens that place bets privately.

The people of Yujing all wanted to see the heroic victory of the fourth prince of Dajing, but they also knew that this might be difficult.

But I didn't dare to watch it because of this.

It would be good to see what the Fourth Prince of Dajing and the Ninth Princess of Dameng look like, after all, they are both legendary figures.

They comforted themselves that this was an unequal competition.

Da Meng is the ninth princess, a princess of the first rank, while Da Jing is the fourth prince, not a prince, so it is not shameful for him to lose.

If Da Jing also sends out his princes and lets the tenth prince, Prince Ying, take action, how can the Ninth Princess of Dameng win?
The vast square is divided into several areas.

There was an area surrounded by two layers of soldiers in white clothes and robes, isolating the surrounding area.

Inside the circle are Cheng Tianfeng and Mo Chunyu.

Ling Shuang's cavalry dismounted from their horses, and their aura was still unified, as if they were one person.

Cheng Tianfeng was dressed in a brocade robe, silver-patterned deerskin boots, and an ancient-colored long sword at his waist. He had regained his usual calm and composed demeanor.

The nobility is overwhelming.

"Uncle Master, the outcome of this fight has been decided. Who would have thought that Li Hongzhao would advance to the next level?"

"Li Hongzhao is indeed a prodigy. The bigger the scene, the more excited and passionate she becomes." Mo Chunyu said, "She also makes faster progress in her cultivation. She is using Chu Zhiyuan as a whetstone."

"This woman is indeed beautiful." Cheng Tianfeng's eyes flashed with obsession, and he said with emotion: "If I could take her into my room..."

Mo Chunyu glanced at him.

This junior fellow apprentice brother really can't change the tradition of the Cheng family.

How could he regard Li Hongzhao as an ordinary beauty? How could he take her into his room? Unless she was much better than him and made her bow down to him.

If you want her to submit, you have to be much better than her in martial arts and be the same age as her. Otherwise, even if you are much older and have stronger skills than her, you still can't convince her. There is no such person yet.

Chu Zhiyuan, who was ranked first in terms of talent, is not as good as her now.

"It seems I need to practice hard." Cheng Tianfeng said with emotion: "I would rather eat one fairy apricot than a basket of rotten peaches!"

Mo Chunyu said calmly: "Are all those women in your room rotten peaches?"

"They are all fairy apricots." Cheng Tianfeng was very proud: "They are all rare beauties in the world."

Mo Chunyu said: "It's best not to recruit her. She looks beautiful, but she is cruel and ruthless."

"I will take her into my room eventually!" Cheng Tianfeng clenched his fist into the air, and suddenly he was filled with endless fighting spirit.

First he was relieved of his defeat with Chu Zhiyuan, and then stimulated by Li Hongzhao, he became full of fighting spirit and spirit again.

Seeing this, Mo Chunyu said no more.

I sighed inwardly.

I really don't know whether his lust is good or bad.

Bai Ningshuang and her family of three were also sitting in an area under the protection of the mansion. Beside them were Xiao Ruoling, Xiao Ruoyu, and Duke Anguo Xiao Youping.

Xiao Youping and Chu Minghou got along very well and had a good relationship. They sat at a stone table, each holding a teacup.

"I didn't expect so many people to watch. It's just a martial arts competition." Chu Minghou was puzzled.

This is different from the border war between Dajing and Daming, which was cruel and tragic. Compared with that, the competition here is like children playing house.

I really don't know what to see.

This caused so many people to climb up with great effort to have a look.

Xiao Youping said: "It's about the people's hearts and morale. Everyone is holding back their anger and wants to vent it through this competition."

This competition is equivalent to another war between Dajing and Daming, and is a continuation and symbol of the border war.

It expresses the strong emotions of the people of Yujing City.

"If Yuan'er is really defeated, won't he become the sinner of our Dajing?" Chu Minghou frowned.

Bai Ningshuang said softly: "My Lord!"

"Yes, yes, don't say such unlucky words." Chu Minghou said with a smile: "Yuan'er is still acting prudently. Since he dared to agree, he must have a chance of winning."

Xiao Youping nodded.

He felt the same way, so he wasn't too worried.

But this time, Li Hongzhao made a breakthrough on the battlefield and reached a higher level, which added variables to the competition.

It’s hard to say who will win or lose.

"Master, will the emperor come?" Bai Ningshuang asked.

Xiao Youping said: "The emperor has no plans to come today."

"That's good." Bai Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, Yuan'er asked the emperor for treasures. If he loses, how can he not anger the emperor?
Moreover, the feeling of watching Yuan'er being defeated right before my eyes was completely different from just hearing others say that he was defeated.

Now it all depends on Yuan'er himself.

She turned her head and looked at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling's beautiful face was calm, and there was nothing unusual about it. She just sat there quietly looking at the Qitian Palace.

After going up nine steps and stepping onto the huge platform, you can enter the Qitian Palace.

The place where the two of them competed was on the high platform, in front of the Qitian Palace.

The situation on the platform can be clearly seen from the entire square.

In addition to these two areas, there are dozens of other areas in the square, all of which are occupied by the powerful and wealthy.

The important officials of the court had to stay in the government office and had no time to come.

"Ding……"

A clear chirping sound was heard from a distance.

Then a clear cry was heard at the foot of the mountain.

People standing at the edge of the square heard the sound and looked down, and saw a red shadow rising into the sky.

There are steps on the south side of Qitian Peak and a steep cliff covered with moss on the north side. It is impossible to climb the mountain without the steps.

The red shadow climbed up along the steep stone wall on the north side of Qitian Peak.

In the blink of an eye, a red shadow soared into the sky, floated down, and landed in front of the Qitian Palace, appearing in front of everyone.

The red clothes are like flames, and the person is like a beauty carved from white jade.

A figure flashed beside her, and Chu Zhiyuan appeared.

Compared to Li Hongzhao's breathtaking performance, Chu Zhiyuan was silent.
