Chapter 123 You can compete, but I will be the referee
People's hearts are biased, especially when two young men are competing: one is a handsome young man, and the other is as fat as a pig. Everyone will naturally lean towards the handsome young man.
Cheng Yu looked at his second brother with satisfaction. Hmm, he looked good! About 180cm tall, he stood out the most!
Moreover, my second brother inherited his mother's good looks, with a pair of bright eyes that are very attractive, heroic eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, which make people unforgettable at first sight.
Recently he has been practicing martial arts with his adoptive father, and even his aura is much stronger than Wu Yong. Wu Yong, who is about 165cm tall, now looks like a long pumpkin and a round pumpkin in front of Cheng Yiyu.
The main thing is that Wu Yong is still unaware of this, and with his head held high, he still looks like a fat bald peacock!
As soon as Rong Che entered the room, he saw this scene. The Wang and Wu family, a family with a different surname, really had no meaning of existence in Rong Country!
He had warned her repeatedly not to show off in front of the distinguished guests from Mu Country, but she came here again, and...
It was Lord Zheng, the director of the Ministry of Agriculture, who invited him here. The reason was that Rong State did not take Mu State seriously, and a small prince dared to dance in front of the eldest princess of Mu State.
"Lord, you are here. You must make the decision for my son!" When Wu Xin saw Rong Che coming, he immediately went to greet him and said.
The Wu family is really something! The evil ones complain first! A vicious dog that will bite anyone it sees!
Dog: It’s unfair…
"Oh? Lord Wu, I seem to have forgotten to inform you that our Rong Kingdom has now become a vassal state of Mu Kingdom.
From now on, all personnel appointments will be under the jurisdiction of Mu Guo. As for the fact that you were the first to complain, Lord Zheng told me about it!
Come here, slap Prince Wu ten times for his irresponsible words and disrespect for the princess!" Rong Che said to the eunuch beside him.
Rong Che had been waiting for Mu Guo's reply, and as soon as he received the reply, he came here in a hurry.
Moreover, Minister Li of the Ministry of Revenue had already written to him, saying that the Emperor of Mu had agreed to their request for Rong to become a vassal state of Mu.
And the food is on the way, so let them hold on for a while.
"My Lord, please spare my life, my Lord, please spare my life..." Wu Xin saw that Rong Che was really angry, and quickly begged for mercy!
My God, those eunuchs who came up to slap him were all famous in the palace. His ears must have been deafened!
Wu Xin also knew that the title of king of a different surname bestowed upon their Wu family by the late emperor was only for three generations and ended at Wu Yong, so he allowed his son to hook up with the nobleman from the Mu Kingdom!
And now that Rong State is gone, it means that they are no longer the kings of Rong State with different surnames!
"Get started! What are you waiting for!" Rong Che looked at Zheng Yexi who was frowning beside him, and immediately urged the eunuchs to take action!
"My Lord, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!" Wu Xin shouted. He wanted to show off his father's achievements, but he had no chance!
The chief eunuch stepped forward, lifted him up on both sides, and then stuffed a piece of rag picked up from the ground into his mouth!
"Pa pa pa!" The sound was so loud that the Cheng family couldn't help but look back, and Wu Xin's face was already covered with slap marks!
Wu Yong looked at his father, feeling mixed emotions. He was so useless! He was not even his grandfather's child!
"Hey, well, do you still want to compete?" Wu Yong continued to urge.
If you compete with him for the woman, he will make Cheng Yiyu regret being born into this world.
"Of course we want to compete. Let me make it clear first, if you lose, just get out of here and don't bother our princess anymore!" Cheng Yiyu said.
He knew that if Murong Zi just opened his mouth, Wu Qing might disappear in front of them, but he wanted to defeat Wu Qing fairly.
After all, the eldest princess is so beautiful. If you take down one Wu Yong, there will be many more Wu Yongs!
"Okay, I agree!" Wu Yong shook his head, thinking he looked very cool.
The face with its messy facial features looked even uglier, and the wretched look made Cheng Yiyu frown. This thing was coveting the bright moon in his heart!
Beat him to death! Beat him to death! His heart was screaming, his blood was boiling!
"Wait a minute!" Murong Zi quickly called for a stop. She was afraid that Cheng Yiyu would suffer a loss! She wanted to be the referee and take sides!
"Hehehe, little beauty, I said you were playing hard to get! Hahaha!" Wu Yong looked at Murong Zi with his eyes. Such a beautiful beauty must be very exciting in bed!
So Wu Yong didn't hear everyone calling Murong Zi the eldest princess!
Wu Xin, after being slapped, now has a clear mind! It's over. Now whether his son can keep his life depends on his son's kung fu!
After all, the servants in the mansion have been praising his son all the time, saying that he has no rivals in the mansion!
He suddenly had a bad premonition and turned around to see Cheng Yiyu, who was about 185cm tall, clenching his fists. He had a feeling that he was about to lose a son!
"How dare you!" The eunuch beside Rong Che stepped forward and slapped Wu Yong!
"You..." Wu Yong saw that it was the eunuch beside the king and did not dare to move!
He could only stare at Cheng Yiyu with his gloomy eyes. He wanted to beat this kid to death! It was all his fault for competing with him for this beauty from Mu Country!
"Shut your stinky mouth, you guys can compete! After all, I'm the person involved, I'll be the referee!" Murong Zi said in a deep voice.
It's so annoying! They just came out to catch locusts and fry them to eat, but ended up encountering such a nasty thing!
Looking for death, right? But can Cheng Yiyu really do it? Seeing how weak she was, she was so panicked that she forgot that two years ago Cheng Yiyu had been able to fight He Jin and the others to a draw!
She looked at Wu Yong again and saw that he was so fat. Would Cheng Yiyu be in danger if he faced Wu Yong?
"Okay, I agree! Second brother, you have to sign a life and death agreement! No matter life or death, otherwise we will beat Wuyong to death and let this foreign king catch us, which will not be worth it!" Cheng Yu used the form of questioning, but his tone did not allow for any objection!
"I think it's a good idea! I also think it's a good idea!" Rong Che stood up and acted as a witness for both parties!
He is no longer the king, so he doesn't dare to use me easily! Hehehe, he is now an idle prince, and he wants to travel around and eat delicious food...
Yuwen Jue, the three Murong sisters, the Cheng family, and the officials who came with Rong Che hurriedly responded to Rong Che and Cheng Yu!
Wu Xin and Wu Yong didn't even have a chance to refute!
So, under the witness of Rong Che, Wu Yong and Cheng Yiyu signed a life and death agreement.
"How about you two each taking on one item, and I taking on the last item?" Murong Zi was holding a small plate in her hand, eating a locust one at a time.
The main thing is that it is crunchy, the more you eat it, the more addictive it becomes!
Wu Xin: You really haven't seen the world. So what if you're a princess? How can you eat this shit?
As a result, when Wu Xin turned around, he saw his own king took a bigger bowl, took the locusts in it, and bit them with a crunching sound!
Well, let him see it and make him greedy!
"Okay! No problem!" With just one sentence from Cheng Yiyu, the people of Rong State could no longer do anything to them!
Minister? He looks only 18 or 19 years old? You're calling me a minister now?
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you all. My nephew's grandson was the third place in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. Now he is nineteen. He is currently a fifth-rank official and one of the officials sent by the Mu Kingdom to conduct an inspection this time!" Zheng Yexi said proudly.
He just liked to see the inexperienced look of the Rong people. Young officials? Sorry, they have three in the Mu country!
But unfortunately, one of them has now been conferred the title of fourth-rank general!
"Huh?" A group of people looked at Zheng Yexi in surprise. Eighteen or nineteen years old, a fifth-rank official?
Are you kidding me?
"Yes, I also have a nephew who is of the fifth rank, and he is currently taking over the territory of Li State. And that young General Cheng is also my nephew!" Cheng Shang saluted and then said.
Their Cheng family is full of talents, so they are low-key? Not possible. It is not easy for their children to climb to the current position from scratch, so they should be praised!
The officials of Rong State looked at each other, and then looked at the people of Cheng Family. They looked similar!
"Let's start!" Cheng Yiyu looked at Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang, who were like peacocks spreading their tails in the crowd, then looked at the annoying Wu Yong and said!
"Okay, then as the host, I'll ask the questions first. Do you have any objection?" Wu Yong rushed first and chose the one he was best at, so that he wouldn't feel disappointed if he lost later.
"You go first! You go first!" Cheng Yiyu looked like a handsome young man, which made Wu Yong look extremely angry.
Who is the better of the two boys? Everyone can tell the winner at a glance!
"Then let's compete in archery! Come here! Bring up my arrows!" Wu Yong said proudly.
He knew that his martial arts skills were not that good, but his archery skills were unmatched among his peers! He wanted to see how this kid from Mu Country could compare!
"Okay! I don't need your bow and arrow! Yuan Yi, bring my bow and arrow up!" Cheng Yiyu said.
He had just finished tidying up the lands of Yuanli State when the emperor sent him to Rong State with Cheng Yu's army of chickens, ducks and geese!
It's also magical. Along the way, when the chickens, ducks and geese were hungry, they were released to eat locusts, and at night they were put into cages and continued to move forward. Not many of them died!
Moreover, the journey was smooth and there was no place for them to use their skills!
Look! His bow and arrow were useless, so he asked Yuan Yi to carry them for him. As soon as he got here, he saw the girl he had been thinking about, covering her nose and roasting dried chilies!
And then... I met this blind man!
Beat him to death! He dared to look at the pure and flawless bright moon in his heart with such obscene eyes!
"Your Majesty! Are you saying that you deliberately let Cheng Yiyu go to Rongguo to find our Zier?" Nangong Li looked at Murong Qian rubbing her legs in surprise.
She thought he would let his daughter marry a son of a noble family, or a son of the royal family of Liguo or Rongguo!
"Yes, I found that Zi'er has been talking to me about Cheng Yiyu intentionally or unintentionally these days. This young man is not bad. Except that his family background is a little poor, everything else is good!" Murong Qian really likes the Cheng family.
But Cheng Zhiwen already has someone he loves, and Cheng Liyao is a little young, so only Cheng Yiyu is suitable.
He originally thought that Cheng Yu was already a princess, and a powerful and popular princess, and he didn't want anything to happen between Cheng Yiyu and Murong Zi!
However, fate is so wonderful that two young people fall in love with each other, and they can't break up the couple!
Otherwise, there would be little point in Murong Qian agreeing to the three armies to advance into Liguo and take in Rongguo!
He still remembered that his biological sister was forced to marry a lazy prince from the Li Kingdom.
When the two countries finally fell out, when they took his sister out of the country, she was so skinny that she died within two years of returning to the country of Mu!
"Are you willing to do that?" Nangong Li teased Murong Qian, this daughter slave!
In the late stage of pregnancy, her feet were a little swollen, and at this moment Murong Qian was massaging her feet!
Nangong Li knew that her eldest daughter had the hardest life because Murong Qian had not yet been appointed crown prince. Her eldest son and daughter had always lived on thin ice with her, and they never dared to show what they liked.
If she always praises Cheng Yiyu in her letters, it means that her eldest daughter must like Cheng Yiyu very much.
"What can I do if I'm reluctant? My daughter has grown up. I heard from the leader of the secret guards that she is living a very comfortable life now. If the Cheng family and Cheng Yiyu can accept her way of life.
Wouldn't Zi'er's life be easier then?" Murong Qian's hands moved very gently. He didn't know that his queen would feel so uncomfortable when she was pregnant.
It must be very uncomfortable to have such swollen feet!
"Well, yes, she is doing well the way she is now!" Nangong Li did not regret her decision. Her eldest daughter had suffered with her for nearly ten years. In the days to come, she only hoped that her eldest daughter's days would be sweet.
"Yes, she will be living under our noses from now on, and she has a good relationship with Xiao Yuer, so there will definitely not be an aunt-in-law relationship in the future!
Among the sisters-in-law, no one can surpass her!" Murong Qian stood up and stroked Nangong Li's back.
She has been married to him for more than twenty years and has gone through a lot with him. After giving birth to this child, she will not take any more risks with her own queen. Drinking too much contraceptive soup is not good for a woman's health, so he should drink it!
"Yes, although I don't know the daughter-in-law chosen by the eldest family, Rong'er has grown up in our eyes.
I heard that Miss Sun and Rong'er get along very well, and Xiao Yu'er is also a good person. Now that Zi'er has married into this family, her life will definitely be better in the future!
Your Majesty, you will lose a useful talent!" Nangong Li said.
According to the laws of this dynasty, the prince consort cannot participate in political affairs!
"Alas!... There is nothing we can do. We have to consider Jing'er. Even if the Cheng family will not have any ulterior motives, we dare not gamble!" Murong Qian said.
The children all have the same father and mother, so there will definitely be no disagreements, but people’s hearts are fickle, so they won’t take the gamble!
"No! Father, I trust the Cheng family, you can continue to use Cheng Yiyu without any worries!
Moreover, this time Cheng Liyao captured four cities of Li State without any soldiers. This is talent!
Cheng Zhiwen, Cheng Yiyu, Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang are all good. The people of our country can finally have enough food to eat!" Murong Jing said excitedly.
He had started learning how to handle government affairs from Murong Qian when he was ten years old. Naturally, he knew that since his father took over the Kingdom of Mu, although the people were not as hungry as before, they were still living frugally.
Since the rise of the Cheng family, the state of Mu has also improved. Not only has the city expanded, but the three states of Mu, Rong and Li have also been unified.
Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang devoted themselves to farming, and now their country of Mu finally has no shortage of food!
"It's best if you think so!"
"I don't accept it. Come again!" Wu Yong shouted loudly.
Just now, Cheng Yiyu shot three arrows at the same time, all of which hit the bull's eye. Everyone was watching, and he had no way of making excuses.
"Okay, the second item I mentioned is the moving target. How about we be each other's targets? Shoot the apple on the head! One stick of incense is the basis, and the one who takes the shortest time wins!" Cheng Yiyu is not afraid of this game, because the arrow will never hit him!
But he has plenty of ways to deal with this prince!
"You're not afraid, are you?" Cheng Yiyu looked at Wu Yong who was backing down. Ha! Now that the game has started, don't think about quitting easily!
"Who...who doesn't dare! Come!" Wu Yong said bravely.
"Then let's draw lots! Those with the shorter arrows will be shot first!" Cheng Yiyu said.
"Row!"
"Hahaha, stop peeing!"
