Shi Mu looked at the smiling young man in front of him, whose playful expression suddenly turned serious.
He then confirmed his suspicions.
So, where do you find so many incompetent people in the royal family?
There are plenty of people who pretend to be weak to actually harm others.
He wasn't too serious, but he wasn't careless either.
However, after a few moves, he realized that he had underestimated the Ninth Prince, and he had to look at the Ninth Prince more seriously.
Unfortunately, even with all his might, the Ninth Prince could only force Shi Mu to use half of his strength, and he felt that he had failed miserably.
The more someone wants to dazzle the people when they come to power, the more dejected they feel when they leave office.
Fortunately, he was a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shi Mu was not the kind of person who would embarrass others; he still managed to step down with dignity.
He didn't know that forcing Shi Mu to use half of his abilities was already enough for Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin's confidence grew stronger and stronger.
The fourth match was between the maids of Dongzhe and the maids of the Goddess Kingdom, and this match also lasted quite a long time.
Although Xiaomingyue didn't send her most powerful person to the stage, the one who did go was quite good. After all, he was sent by Queen Dugu to protect her daughter, so he couldn't be bad.
The two of them fought for about the same amount of time as Cheng Huaijin and Helian Yi had just fought, but they were really fighting.
The maid of Dongzhe had truly used all her strength to win a single move against the maid of the Goddess Kingdom, a narrow victory.
Fortunately, she needed to rest for an hour and a half; otherwise, if she had come back continuously, Dong Zhe's maid would probably have been completely exhausted.
After the competition, the remaining two princes and two princesses, plus Gu Xin and Prince Tian Tian, will not need to draw lots anymore. They will compete in pairs in the afternoon to determine the final winner.
...
When the party ended, Prince Tiantian didn't go to Gu Xin to annoy her; instead, he chased after Shi Mu.
Gu Xin followed Cheng Huaijin off the stage and asked, "Brother, are you confident?"
Cheng Huaijin nodded: "I won't let him win."
Gu Xin patted his shoulder: "Yeah, I believe you."
At this moment, Gu Yingxue ran over and stood in front of the two of them: "Third Sister, Brother Xiao Jin, wait for me."
The two looked at Gu Yingxue.
Seeing that the man had stopped, Gu Yingxue looked down and rummaged through her purse. She then took out a talisman and handed it to Cheng Huaijin: "Brother Jin, this is a talisman I got at the beginning of this year. I've been wearing it ever since, and I haven't gotten sick or fallen on flat ground this year. It's very effective. You can wear it here! That General Shi Mu looks fierce, but if you wear it, he can't hurt you."
Gu Xin couldn't help but look at Shi Mu, who hadn't left yet. Although Shi Mu didn't look this way, he was glancing in this direction out of the corner of his eye.
Cheng Huaijin accepted the amulet without hesitation, saying, "Okay. Thank you, Xue'er. I'll wear it for a while and return it to you when I'm done."
Gu Yingxue shook her head and laughed foolishly, "You don't need to give it back to me. I went and begged for it again a few days ago. I have one too. You can see for yourself."
As she spoke, Gu Yingxue took another one out of her purse.
Cheng Huaijin couldn't help but laugh. He knew what Gu Yingxue was laughing about. Apart from the time he first arrived in Da Zhou and went to Aunt Peng Wu's place, when he saw the birth of Aunt Peng Wu's twins and left, he had never accepted anything Gu Yingxue gave him.
This time he readily accepted it, and the silly girl wouldn't take it back. Didn't she go and beg for it a few days ago?
He thought it must have been asked for during the Lunar New Year, but he didn't give it to him because he was afraid the man wouldn't accept it.
