Chapter 130 Brother, you are going to lose!
Chapter 130 Brother, you are going to lose!
Happy time is always short-lived.
It was the fourth day after the wedding, and Song Yuan's vacation should have ended.
Early that morning, Song Yuan was about to finish his breakfast and go to the Ministry of War to continue studying military tactics.
Unexpectedly, before he even stepped out of the door, Eunuch Qiu came in with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty has decreed that, effective immediately, Prince Jingbei will reorganize his palace troops. Three days later, a corresponding drill will be conducted at the hunting grounds north of the city. This time, Prince Jingbei will lead the troops, with the princess serving as his assistant."
The sudden news made Song Yuan pause for a moment. He thought, what tricks is this guy going to play this time?
Come to think of it, His Majesty did say that his progress in learning military tactics would be tested in the end.
However, this so-called martial arts performance did not specify the items involved. Could there be any trouble?
Combined with the address mentioned by Eunuch Qiu, Song Yuan's brows immediately furrowed. If it was just an ordinary martial arts performance, it would be fine. With Situ Jing's ability, he could successfully pass the test even if he was just cheering on the side.
But now, being able to hold such a grand event in the hunting grounds, just thinking about it can predict that the so-called martial arts performance at that time will definitely not be done casually!
What's more, the so-called martial arts performance has never been dominated by one person alone, and cooperation is needed throughout the whole process.
Who is your opponent?
What exactly does the other party want?
Now Song Yuan is completely in the dark. How can he be sure whether he will win or lose?
"Hurry up and eat. Let's leave the city now and quickly recall those palace soldiers outside the city. This time I will personally take action and avenge our previous humiliation no matter what!"
The hunting ground in the north of the city has a special meaning to Situ Jing. It was there that she experienced the first failure in her life.
Although she was just Song Yuan's helper, Situ Jing still remembers it vividly.
In addition to her combative nature, Situ Jing was already urging Song Yuan with some urgency at this moment, and she couldn't wait to rush to the hunting ground. No matter who the opponent was, she would kill him to the death!
Seeing Situ Jing's eager heart, Song Yuan frowned slightly.
This girl is a real fighter.
I need to remind him so that he doesn't go too far!
"Why are you so excited? Don't forget, according to the imperial decree just now, this time everything is under my control. At most, you are just a deputy general!"
Faced with Song Yuan's reminder, Situ Jing rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Your Majesty, it's all just a word, but you really think you're a piece of cake. In my opinion, if you really become the commander, we might as well go to bed as soon as possible!"
"With your limited abilities, wouldn't it be a disgrace to lead a large army? Don't you dare take a piss and look at yourself?"
"I don't care. The imperial edict is the imperial edict. Win or lose, I am the commander-in-chief!"
Song Yuan immediately resisted, "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. We are husband and wife now. Even if we really lose, we are still in the same boat!"
"You..." Faced with Song Yuan's righteous statement, Situ Jing looked angry.
On the other hand, after saying this, Song Yuan lowered his head and concentrated on the food in front of him. Compared to the so-called victory or defeat, Song Yuan obviously cared about something else the most.
So what is the purpose of this cheap old man holding the drill this time?
Compared to the so-called honor and disgrace, Song Yuan didn't care at all. He wanted to know more about what Song Youji wanted to do?
It’s a pity that before learning about this matter, Song Yuan didn’t hear any news at all.
After much thought, I'm afraid the only option is to ask General Zhao.
However, these are all matters for the future. What Song Yuan has to do now is to quickly bring back the palace soldiers outside the city.
No matter how Situ Jing trains in the end, he must gather everyone first.
Thinking of this, Song Yuan hurriedly speeded up his actions. After lunch, he rode on a horse and galloped out of the city with his princess.
Compared to Song Yuan, Situ Jing's cheeks were even more fiery. After getting married, her life in the palace almost faded away.
Situ Jing wished she could exercise with someone every day. Otherwise, even if her ears didn't get calluses, her body would get moldy if she listened to her aunt nagging her every day.
"Someone!"
But just when Situ Jing was excited, a man and a horse suddenly rushed out from the side, holding weapons, and directly blocked the way of the two.
"court death!"
Situ Jing didn't even look at the other person's appearance. She lowered her head and pulled out the long sword that Song Yuan had forged for her from her waist.
He raised it high above his head and was about to chop down at the dark shadow in front of him!
"Wait!" At the critical moment, Song Yuan reached out to stop it.
"Don't act rashly. If we really fight alone, you might not be his opponent!"
Song Yuan spoke to Situ Jing, and when he said this, Situ Jing raised her eyebrows in annoyance.
How many people in the imperial city can surpass me?
It's not possible for me to be so unlucky that a coward just shows up, right?
"Whether we can win or not, we still have to fight first!"
Facing Song Yuan's contempt, Situ Jing stiffened his neck and, while speaking, squeezed the horse under his crotch and was about to pass over where Song Yuan was.
"He is Wei Da, the eldest son of Duke Wei!"
Looking at Huniu, she was very stubborn and it was clear that she would not give up until she reached the mountain.
Song Yuan frowned and reminded Situ Jing, who then pulled the reins and slowly stood still.
For a moment, the princess's eyes showed a hint of fighting spirit, and she couldn't wait to have a good fight with Wei Da in front of her.
I have heard of this man's name for a long time. He had already made a name for himself in the Ministry of War several years ago. Now I can fight with such a master. Where else can I get such an opportunity under normal circumstances?
Fortunately, Song Yuan stepped forward and used his body to separate the two.
"Don't mess around. Wei Da and I are brothers. Let's talk slowly if we have anything to say!"
Song Yuan turned around and glared at Situ Jing fiercely. Seeing the other party sticking out her tongue, he moved forward.
"Brother Wei, what do you want from me?"
"My father just asked me to inform you that you must be well prepared for the martial arts performance. I've given the order: you can only lose this time, not win!"
Why?
Song Yuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"Is there something strange going on?"
"Do you know what His Majesty wants to test you with?"
"I don't know!"
"That's right, you just have to obey! To put it bluntly, His Majesty's target this time is not you, but the princess beside you."
Wei Da looked straight at Song Yuan and revealed the final answer.
"Your Majesty is testing this woman. If he wins, it will prove that the Zhenbei Palace is not weak!"
"In this way, His Majesty will be able to rest assured about your safety. Then, you can take the princess to the border without any worries!"
"Isn't this good?" Song Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He never thought that he could get such a bargain. I actually had such a mind.
However, in the final analysis, this arrangement is still good for Song Yuan.
After hesitating for a long time, Song Yuan finally did not curse.
"It's definitely not good. Think about it, if you take the princess with you, where will I go?"
"No...what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, anyway, just do as I say. If you lose, my father can secretly manipulate me to let me follow you to the border. As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers together. As long as I'm here, I'll keep you safe!"
No buddy, are you crazy?
When Song Yuan heard this, his face turned bitter and his heart suddenly boiled over.
I want to rebel, why don't you ask me what I think?
I take you with me?
I'm afraid that as soon as I start to rise up, you will be the first one to chop off my head?
I was stupid to bring you along!
No, this matter is not negotiable!
