Unlike Nan Lin and Dong Zhe, they did not hate Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin; they admired Cheng Huaijin from the bottom of their hearts.
In Jiacang, the strong are respected, and everything is won through strength and respect.
This also reflects Shi Mu's effective management. While his subordinates may have their schemes and tricks, they are mostly governed by the principle of the strong.
Because all schemes and tricks are ineffective in the face of absolute power.
The competition on the stage continued.
The audience didn't get tired of watching and continued to cheer.
After an hour and a half, Shi Mu finally used his hidden weapon. He was exhausted and feared he wouldn't be able to hold out against Cheng Huaijin if he didn't deal with him soon. So, he used his hidden weapon.
He assumed that no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew he possessed hidden weapons, because he had never used them.
Unfortunately, Bai Yi knew this, and Bai Yi reminded Cheng Huaijin, so Cheng Huaijin knew.
Even after playing on the field for so long, Cheng Huaijin had not let his guard down and remained on guard at all times.
When Cheng Huaijin noticed that Shi Mu's actions were slightly different from before, he guessed what was going on.
He didn't know what his hidden weapon was, but he was able to dodge it.
He had practiced with Gu Xin in the West for almost a year, so he was very familiar with it. Moreover, Gu Xin's hidden weapons were always unexpected and extremely accurate.
After Cheng Huaijin dodged the attack, he knew that Shi Mu was definitely at his last gasp, and his chance had come.
He took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. Gu Xin had given it to him earlier, telling him to take it when he wanted to be at his best. He had already planned to take it at this moment.
In order to prevent Shi Mu from making any requests related to Gu Yingxue, Cheng Huaijin went all out, after all, you also used hidden weapons, didn't you?
In this match, Shi Mu lost.
Cheng Huaijin didn't throw Shi Mu down like he threw Prince Tiantian; instead, he subdued Shi Mu in the end, leaving him no way to escape.
"Are you admitting defeat?" Cheng Huaijin asked Shi Mu in the language of the Cang Kingdom.
"I admit defeat," Shi Mu replied slowly after a moment of silence.
"In the final match, Prince Ahai of the Flowing Sand Kingdom wins!" With a gong sound, an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to announce the winner.
Those who bet on Cheng Huaijin's victory were overjoyed; standing up wasn't enough to express their happiness, they jumped for joy.
Those who bought Shi Musheng's shares were all dejected. This general of Jia Cang Kingdom seemed very powerful, so why couldn't he beat him?
Of course, they didn't say it was all show and no substance, since everyone had witnessed the fierce battle just now.
And so, the martial arts competition among the seventeen kingdoms came to an end.
The emperor personally stepped down from the stage to award Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin, who had won first place, and also promised them a condition.
However, since neither of them had the means at the moment, and Cheng Huaijin was seriously injured, they didn't bring it up.
Then the second and third people also received gifts, but they weren't as valuable.
After the rewards were distributed, the emperor returned to the palace with the empress and the crown prince.
The Ministry of Rites officials were present to announce tomorrow's literary contest. Since the venue was quite large, it was naturally the Ministry of War officials who loudly repeated the announcement.
The rules for Wenbi are slightly more complex, but we've tried to make them as clear as possible to everyone.
Similarly, Wenbi will also receive a reward; as for what the reward is, we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Because Shi Mu and Cheng Huaijin's fight lasted so long, it was getting late, and everyone dispersed after learning the time of tomorrow's competition.
