Chapter 340 Competition

He spoke directly with a cold face.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that our marriage is still unsettled!"

Chen Hechuan: "My attitude is very clear. I will never agree to a marriage alliance. You should withdraw your thoughts."

Mo Junxing sneered.

"It seems that His Majesty wants to test the strength of our Great Qi."

Gu Jingchun spoke at this time.

“If we want to test our strength, we have countless ways to do it.

How about setting up a competition arena in the palace in three days, and having our Dacheng warriors and your Daqi warriors compete with each other to see how strong they are?

Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing naturally agreed with pleasure.

"sure."

"However, if you lose, you will have to agree to the marriage request."

Gu Jingchun: "What if you, Da Qi, lose?"

Mo Junxing raised his eyebrows.

"You decide."

"If you, Da Qi, lose, we will sign an agreement that you, Da Qi, will not set foot on our Da Cheng border for thirty years."

Mo Junxing nodded.

"good."

"Then it's a deal."

After Mo Junxing left, Shen Hechuan frowned and spoke.

"How could you agree to follow Mo Junxing's conditions? If you really lose, do you really have to go to Da Qi?"

Gu Jingchun shrugged.

"I just agreed to the marriage, but I didn't agree to go to the marriage."

"When the time comes, we just need to ask among the ladies-in-waiting, and there will naturally be some who are willing to go."

Chen Hechuan: ...

Is it possible to act like a rogue in such a major event between two countries?

But looking at Gu Jingchun's cunning face.

Shen Hechuan fell silent again.

Who cares.

Who made Mo Jun act without moral principles?

Gu Jingchun raised his eyebrows.

"Besides, do you think we will lose?"

Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun's determined eyes and shook his head.

"No, with you here, we Dacheng will never lose."

Hearing this, Gu Jingchun chuckled, raised her heels, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"This child is teachable."

******

At this time, in a dilapidated temple somewhere in Tiandu City.

A hunchbacked beggar walked in tremblingly, holding a steamed bun.

He seemed to want to find a quiet place to finish eating the steamed bun, for fear that someone else would snatch it away.

After entering the dilapidated temple, he locked the door immediately, and his hunched back straightened up in an instant.

He looked around the dilapidated temple and after making sure that there was no one there, he walked in and pressed one of the mechanisms.

With a loud bang, a narrow secret passage appeared behind the stone statue in the dilapidated temple.

The beggar immediately put the steamed bun into his arms and walked in quietly.

After he passed through the narrow secret passage, he finally stopped in a wide place.

What comes into view is a stone gate.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

He stopped at the stone gate and knocked gently on one of the doors a few times.

After a while, the stone door slowly opened.

The beggar looked at the wide-open stone door, first peeked in, and then quietly walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a Taoist priest sitting inside. He had gray hair, wore a Taoist robe, and was as thin as a stick. He had two mustaches above his lips and gray beard below his lips. He looked like a Taoist priest with a rather strange and immortal temperament.

He had his eyes closed, seemingly meditating.

After hearing the noise, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Here I come."

The beggar-like man immediately knelt down.

"Master, we failed again this time."

Guan Zhixin looked at the kneeling man and gently shook the whisk in his hand.

"No problem."

"I didn't intend to get the person out in one go."

Hearing this, Mao Zixiao looked up suddenly.

"Why?"

"Why?"

Guan Zhixin chuckled, stroked his beard with one hand, and spoke.

"Of course, it's to tell those people that I, Guan Zhixin, am back."

"However, with their abilities, they can't find any trace of us yet, nor do they know who we are."

"But it doesn't matter, we'll take it slow."

"Next, we have plenty of time to reveal our identities little by little."

the next day.

Gu Jingchun was preparing the things he would need for the written test the day after tomorrow in the palace.

At this time, Gu Jinxi slowly opened his eyes.

"Mother..."

Gu Jingchun suddenly looked up and was overjoyed when he saw Gu Jinxi sitting on the bed. He quickly told Lan Xin to invite Sheng Quan.

I quickly came to the bedside.

"Xier, you're awake. How do you feel?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Gu Jinxi shook his head.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just slept for a long time and I'm a little hungry."

As he spoke, his stomach grumbled twice in cooperation.

Soon, Sheng Quan rushed over.

He felt Gu Jinxi's pulse and frowned.

"Isn't that strange?"

Sheng Quan's whispered words made Gu Jingchun nervous as well.

"What's wrong?"

Sheng Quan shook his head.

"Don't worry, girl, it's nothing serious. I'm just curious about something, but it hasn't been verified yet, so I can't explain it to you.

It’s not too late to tell you after I verify it.”

"However, the young master is in good health now and everything is normal. You don't need to worry."

Gu Jingchun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After Sheng Quan left, he immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to serve the dishes.

Gu Jinxi naturally ate with relish.

After he had eaten, Gu Jingchun touched his head lovingly.

"Your grandmother has been worried about you. How about you take a shower, get ready, and go with your mother to pay your respects to her?"

Gu Jinxi naturally agreed with pleasure.

Waited until we arrived at Shou'an Palace.

The empress dowager was half lying on the bed drinking medicine. When she saw Gu Jinxi, she immediately rushed forward anxiously. Just as she was about to get up, Gu Jingchun hurried over to stop her.

Gu Jinxi even ran forward and threw herself into the empress dowager's arms.

"Grandma, I'm sorry to have frightened you. Are you feeling better?"

The Queen Mother was so moved that her eyes filled with tears.

"Okay, okay, okay."

"It was thanks to the weapon you gave me that I was able to protect my grandmother."

Gu Jinxi nodded proudly.

"Then I'll make a few more for grandma when I have time, and let them protect her."

The Queen Mother nodded happily, touched Gu Jinxi's head, and said with emotion: "Grandmother is old and failed to protect you, so you were abducted by those treacherous people. Do you blame Grandmother?"

Gu Jinxi shook his head.

"Grandma protected Xier. Xier couldn't even thank her enough, so how could she blame her?"

As he spoke, he spoke again with a solemn oath.

"Grandma, Xier has grown up, and she's very strong. In the future, if you encounter danger, you only need to hide behind Xier, and Xier will protect you."

"good."

The Queen Mother nodded, feeling more and more moved. Her eyes turned red in an instant and she almost shed tears.
