940 Small bridge, unlucky to be implicated

With a "bang", as everyone expected, the horse's hooves landed steadily on the ground, and Feng Qingchen's horse continued to gallop forward. Everyone's hearts finally settled down.

"Well done Feng Qingchen!"

Someone shouted, and the concubines behind the screen cheered happily.

"She is so beautiful. Feng Qingchen flew over there. I heard people say that Feng Qingchen was very beautiful on horseback, but I thought it was an exaggeration. Now that I see her, I know that the description of Feng Qingchen by that person is not even one ten-thousandth of her."

"Feng Qingchen is really bold, but well done." The Grand Guardian and the Grand Tutor smiled at each other. The two old men had a great understanding.

At this time, personal interests should be put aside and national honor should be put in the middle. After all, this is a matter of gaining face. Let the prince of Nanling see what the elegance of a noble lady from Dongling is. If a woman from Dongling has such riding skills, what else can be said about the cavalry of Dongling?

Seeing that the Dongling officials were intentionally or unintentionally promoting Dongling and belittling Nanling, Nanling Jinxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Was he going to tell everyone that he also admired Qingchen and hoped Qingchen would win?

Of course, Nanling Jinxing only dared to think about this. If he really said it out loud, he would be spit upon by the censors when he returned to Nanling, for the crime of being unpatriotic.

Nanling Jinxing jumped over the crowd and glanced at the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling who had not spoken. He originally thought that the two were not nervous, but when he turned around, he found that the two were not nervous at all, but were just too good at pretending.

Looking at the upturned lips of the Ninth Prince and the relaxed smile of Wang Jinling, it was clear that the two were also extremely worried about the scene just now, and were extremely appreciative afterwards, but were just a bit stingy and did not show it.

Nanling Jinxing complained silently and continued to chase the black shadow on the racecourse. The black shadow was getting farther and farther away from them and becoming less and less clear. Only the guards standing on the high tower could see it clearly and then listen to their reports on the current situation one by one.

Because of the obstruction of the wooden stake, Feng Qingchen left Su Rou far behind, but this did not mean anything, as obstacles could easily slow down a horse.

Look, when it came to the second level, which was shooting, Su Rou left Feng Qingchen behind again.

Feng Qingchen's horsemanship was good, but he was not good at archery. Even with the small arrows specially made for women, Feng Qingchen could not shoot far. After shooting down dozens of arrows, Feng Qingchen successfully cleared the obstacles in front of him and rode forward.

Although Su Rou was behind Feng Qingchen, she only shot one arrow to pass the level, so now Su Rou was in the lead and Feng Qingchen was behind. When this news came, neither the Grand Tutor nor the Grand Guardian spoke, and King Zhou did not dare to say a word either.

"Feng Qingchen, come on!" The concubines in the harem cheered for Feng Qingchen.

"Uncle, aren't you worried?" Prince Qing had been playing the role of a background board very well. He sat there with almost no sense of existence. It was not until he spoke that everyone remembered that there was such a person.

"What are you worried about? It's just a little girl playing around." The Ninth Prince gently stroked the jade ring on his thumb, as indifferent as a Buddha statue.

"Ninth brother, this is a competition." The emperor interrupted coldly.

The Ninth Prince did not back down and said calmly: "The real competition will be on the battlefield."

"Ninth brother, do you want to gain experience on the battlefield?" The emperor asked insidiously, while pondering the feasibility of this method.

It is too easy for a person to die "normally" on the battlefield, especially if that person has no connections or confidants in the army, then it is even easier.

"If there is a chance, I will never refuse it." Only by going to the battlefield can one get in touch with generals and win over soldiers. Everything has its pros and cons. The Ninth Prince knew the emperor's little thoughts, but he had no intention of backing off.

"There will be a chance." The emperor gave Nanling Jinxing an unfathomable look, and frightened Nanling Jinxing so much that he dared not speak. He lowered his head and silently counted the dust under his feet.

Did he get shot while lying down? These two brothers should just talk, why did they bring up the battlefield? If they bring up the battlefield, then let it be the battlefield. Let's see what he wants to do. Could it be that Dongling wants to go to war with Nanling?

This was not good news. Nanling Jinxing found that he wanted to cry. The internal strife in Nanling had caused serious damage. If Dongling fought with them at this time, they would most likely lose badly.

In front of a strong country, a weak country has no dignity!

Nanling Jinxing was so frightened, but the Ninth Prince started talking but had no intention of continuing. He calmly withdrew his gaze and continued to look towards the horse farm, even though he could no longer see Feng Qingchen at this time.

Feng Qingchen and Su Rou had already run to the last section of the road. There was a bridge ahead. As long as they ran across the bridge, the ground would be flat without any obstacles.

In the obstacles they encountered before, Feng Qingchen and Su Rou had their wins and losses respectively. Now the result is that the two are running side by side, with a difference of less than half a horse's head. However, the bridge is very narrow and two horses cannot rush across at the same time. In other words, whoever reaches the bridge first will be the final winner.

This is the last chance. If Feng Qingchen gets ahead, Su Rou will have no chance of winning. The hints she had made with so much effort before will also be ineffective. Feng Qingchen knows that this is the moment.

Sure enough, when they were only a hundred meters away from the bridge, Su Rou took action.

"Feng Qingchen!"

Su Rou was taking advantage of people's instinct to look towards the source of the voice when they heard their name, so that Feng Qingchen could see her hint.

Feng Qingchen could have chosen not to look back, but in order to strike Su Rou down and stop her from using hypnosis in front of her, Feng Qingchen looked back anyway.

It has come to this. If I don’t turn around and appreciate Su Rou’s frustration, how can I justify everything she has done before?

"Miss Su Rou." With a mocking smile on her beautiful face, Su Rou had already whipped her, and the hypnotic suggestion was not lost, but...

"How could this happen?" Su Rou looked at Feng Qingchen who was not affected by hypnosis at all and continued to walk forward, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

"Ms. Su Rou, have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? Next time, don't show off your half-learned things in front of me." Feng Qingchen knew that Su Rou and she would have no chance to meet in the future, but she still did not forget to provoke Su Rou.

"You..." Su Rou came back to her senses, her face pale without a trace of blood.

Su Rouruo was both embarrassed and angry at this moment. It turned out that her self-righteous trump card was so vulnerable in Feng Qingchen's eyes. When she was smugly mocking Feng Qingchen for being stupid, Feng Qingchen treated her like a monkey. How could she accept this?

"I'll go first, Concubine Su." Feng Qingchen's horse had reached the bridge. Feng Qingchen rode forward without hesitation, overtaking Su Rou by a head.

It was not known whether the words "Empress Su" stimulated Su Rou, or what, but Su Rou's pupils suddenly tightened: "No, I can't lose, I absolutely can't lose."

Bang... Su Rou rushed forward without caring whether she would knock Feng Qingchen down. She only knew that she couldn't lose. If she lost, how could she gain a foothold in Dongling's harem?

"Gee!" Su Rou shouted tenderly. When Feng Qingchen's entire horse body had stepped onto the small bridge, Su Rou's horse also came to the side of the bridge.

Feng Qingchen didn't take Su Rou behind him seriously at all. He looked forward and tightened the reins.

She didn't want anything to go wrong at the last minute.

"The winner is Feng Qingchen." When Feng Qingchen rode to the middle of the bridge, the people in the viewing stand said so, and the others also echoed. There was no suspense in the archery competition, but at this moment...

With a bang, red flames suddenly jumped up from under the bridge, and the water surface instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, enveloping the entire bridge. On the bridge was Feng Qingchen...
