Mo Junxing's face was as cold as ice, and he gave a cold snort.
"In my opinion, it is clearly because your Great Cheng is full of cunning and deliberately takes advantage of loopholes that you have achieved victory!"
"However, this is only the first round. I hope you all achieve great success and continue to have such good luck!"
Gu Jingchun chuckled upon hearing this.
"In the second round, I'm afraid your Great Qi has even less chance of winning!"
Because these two rounds are about military strategy.
There are many scholars in the imperial court, and the court is never short of learned people.
And this military treatise is among them.
Therefore, the officials of Dacheng were basically all somewhat knowledgeable about military strategy.
In recent years, the Great Qi Dynasty had been embroiled in internal strife, resulting in chaos in the court. Although it has gained some strength now.
However, it is still a bit inferior to Daqi.
And the person who took the stage this time was none other than Luo Ziqian.
He slowly stood up, his moon-white robe making him even more handsome and dashing. Without saying a word, he exuded a calm and composed aura.
He stood next to the sand table, looking at the man opposite him.
On the other side was a rising general from the Great Qi, who looked handsome and probably not very old.
However, Luo Ziqian did not underestimate him at all, and always dealt with him seriously, never letting his guard down.
However, with the sound of a whistle, the man on the other side took the initiative and placed the Qi pieces on the sand table one by one.
The ministers around him kept craning their necks to watch and broadcast the news in real time.
"The enemy launched a direct attack with a squadron and then flanked from both sides."
Luo Ziqian, however, showed no fear and immediately launched an attack, skillfully deflecting the opponent's offensive.
The ministers behind him shouted immediately.
"Brilliant!"
"That was a brilliant move. Now, even if the opponent had wings, they wouldn't be able to escape."
Sure enough, the man frowned immediately upon seeing this and carefully examined the sand table, but he still couldn't find a suitable solution.
Finally, with time running out, they had no choice but to admit defeat.
Gu Jingchun smiled happily at this.
Princess Rongyang, standing beside her, immediately cried out.
"Dacheng is mighty! Brother Ziqian is mighty!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian turned around and glanced at Princess Rongyang, then winked at her.
Princess Rongyang immediately looked overjoyed and leaned against Gu Jingchun, as if she was captivated by his handsomeness.
Gu Jingchun felt a tremor run through his body and felt completely unwell.
These two lovebirds are so sweet it's making my teeth ache!
However, looking at Princess Rongyang's appearance, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but feel happy for her.
Just as she was talking to Princess Rongyang, Shen Hechuan glared at Gu Jingchun fiercely, and disregarding the presence of the officials, went over and pulled Gu Jingchun closer to his seat.
He was afraid that Gu Jingchun would see Luo Ziqian's appearance just now.
After all, she's a wife he finally found; he can't let someone else steal her away.
He hadn't forgotten that back then, Luo Ziqian had been constantly pestering his wife.
Therefore, Shen Hechuan was very careful.
Even though Luo Ziqian's attention is now on Princess Rongyang, he will no longer give the two of them a chance to spend time together.
However, his actions only made Mo Junxing, who was already filled with coldness, even colder.
As he watched the two figures draw ever closer, the chill in his eyes deepened.
Their gazes were fixed directly on Gu Jingchun, as if they wanted to envelop him.
However, Shen Hechuan quickly turned slightly to the side, blocking Mo Junxing's view, and said:
"Your Majesty, we have already won two consecutive rounds, and the victory is assured. The only question is, should we play this final round or not?"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers behind Mo Junxing blushed.
They originally thought their strength had improved a lot over the years, but they didn't expect that after a match with Da Cheng, they still couldn't win.
This made them feel ashamed, and they wished they could stop competing now, for fear of losing the third round and affecting the reputation of their Great Qi.
However, Mo Junxing smiled and spoke firmly.
"Compare!"
"Of course we have to compete. Even if our Great Qi loses, we can't give up on this final round."
Moreover, he never came here for the outcome of the competition in the first place.
Because he knew that the strength of the Great Qi was still somewhat different from that of the Great Cheng.
However, he also knew that the current success was not the same as the previous success.
It's only a matter of time before we defeat Da Cheng.
He wanted to know how much further Daqi was from Dacheng, and even more so, he wanted to know Dacheng's current strength.
That's why he agreed to the competition.
Sure enough, there aren't many generals left that Dacheng can use.
This final round was the part he was most looking forward to.
Because, previously, the weapons of the Great Qi were far more advanced than those of the Great Cheng.
This was thanks to the fact that Gu Jingchun's casual remark was remembered by Mo Junxing and quickly applied to the war.
That's why, after Gu Jingchun discovered this, he never mentioned the weapon to Mo Junxing again.
Even when Mo Junxing brought it up, Gu Jingchun only agreed to stall for time and never actually handed the blueprints over to Daqi.
Now, Mo Junxing also knows that Gu Jingchun will hand over those blueprints to Shen Hechuan.
Therefore, he was also very curious about what kind of weapon it was that Gu Jingchun was so wary of.
Of course, he was also secretly considering whether the appearance of these weapons would make the Great Qi Dynasty wary.
After Mo Junxing finished speaking, Shen Hechuan immediately shouted loudly.
"good!"
"The ruler of Great Qi has great spirit."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he shouted, and the third round of the competition began.
Because the third round involved a weapons competition, everyone gathered in a spacious area.
The people from Daqi were all carrying their own weapons.
Both spears and crossbows are extremely sharp and powerful, and they are indeed more effective in warfare.
This caused all the officials of Dacheng to frown.
Situ Qinghe and Luo Kejin, in particular, huddled together, looking at each other's weapons, both frowning.
"What should we do?"
"Their weapons are clearly better. Look at their guns, how come they're so long?"
"And their crossbow bolts, how come they're so small, yet so powerful?"
"And that big thing, what is that? It looks so scary."
"If this really happens on the battlefield, can our people win?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Qinghe immediately slapped him hard.
"Shut up! We haven't even brought out our weapons yet, and you're already trying to intimidate us. I think you deserve a beating."
As he spoke, he immediately tried to hit Luo Kejin again.
