The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

There were more people coming to this autumn martial arts competition than during the hunting competition.

Men competed in martial arts, while women could ride and shoot for leisure, so basically all the young officials and their families came.

Also accompanying him this time was Queen Mother Jiang, and the concubine was still Concubine Li.

It’s not that Situ Qing only favors her, it’s mainly because... the other concubines don’t like to join in the fun as much as she does.

Xie Yuantang heard from Situ Feng that Situ Qing originally wanted to bring Situ Ran's mother, Empress Xian, out this time, but Concubine Li gave Empress Xian a large sum of money in private, so she gave this opportunity to him.

Xie Yuantang, Situ Feng and others sat together, while Situ Qing and Queen Mother Jiang sat in the middle.

Soldiers were lined up on both sides, and everyone was waiting in silence.

Situ Qing waved his hand, and Qu Pei took a step forward and shouted, "General Xuan Leng!"

Xie Yuantang's eyes lit up and he immediately turned to look.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a group of about ten people came on horseback!

Sitting on top of the leading horse, Leng Jinshan was wearing silver-grey armor. Although he was over fifty years old, he did not look tired or old at all. Instead, he was full of energy. His decisive and righteous spirit was enough to shock everyone!

Behind him, Leng Yunting and Leng Yunchao stood on his left and right, both with solemn postures and awe-inspiring auras.

There were only a dozen soldiers from the Leng family army, but their momentum shocked everyone present, as if they had seen the iron cavalry on the snowy ridge in an instant!

Situ Ran smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Is this the momentum of the Leng family army? It is indeed terrifying!"

Situ Mo: "Being able to guard the Snow Ridge for more than ten years without losing it is something that not everyone can do."

The two looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Situ Yan at the same time.

It is not a good thing for the Leng family army to appear in front of everyone so powerfully.

Among the civil officials, Xie Zhaoqing had already tucked his tail between his legs and wished he could hide in the ground!

"It's over, it's over..."

He should have claimed illness and not come, but now look what’s going on, Leng Zhenshan is going to tear him apart!

Xie Yuantang had already stood up, staring eagerly in the direction of Leng's army.

"I, Lengzhenshan, greet the emperor."

"Your servant Leng Yunting/Leng Yunchao, greets His Majesty."

"I am Leng Junsi, a humble servant, and I am honored to meet His Majesty."

Situ Qing looked at the four people in the row. Each of them stood straight and proud, with admiration in his eyes: "My dear, please stand up."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Yuantang who had been impatient for a long time, and said with a smile: "Yuantang, you haven't met your grandfather yet? Why don't you go?"

"Thank you, Father!"

As soon as Situ Qing finished speaking, Xie Yuantang jumped out like a pony without a leash!

Situ Yan slowed down by two steps, glanced at Situ Qing first, and only followed after seeing that he had no objection.

"Grandfather! Second uncle!"

Xie Yuantang ran over happily.

She didn't wear her hair in double buns today, but just tied it up into a high bun with red agate crystal tassels, which was as dazzling as a little sun!

Leng Zhenshan looked at his little granddaughter whom he had never met before. The old man, who had been heartless for half his life, now had some tears in his eyes.

Xie Yuantang ran up to him, not at all shy, and saluted Leng Zhenshan neatly: "Yuantang greets grandpa."

"Get up, get up!"

Leng Zhenshan was reluctant to let her salute, so he held her with trembling hands and choked up, "Good child, grandpa is late."

Leng Yunting on the side was also moved.

Situ Yan stepped forward and bowed politely: "Situ Yan greets grandfather and second uncle."

Leng Yunchao, who was standing aside, watched and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had taught Situ Yan in advance and did not let him bow 90 degrees to everyone he met, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Leng Yunting's face was solemn, and he returned the greeting respectfully: "Your Highness, I am too humble to accept your courtesy."

Leaping over Situ Yan's shoulder, Leng Zhenshan glanced at Situ Qing. He knew that the emperor arranged for them to appear in front of such a crowd and let Situ Yan pay his respects in public, just to let the Leng family guarantee Situ Yan.

Leng Zhenshan looked at his little granddaughter who was smiling and innocent, and sighed slightly. He nodded and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Yuan Tang is grateful to Your Highness for taking care of him."

Situ Yan was not used to such polite words, frowned and shook his head and said: "I am not at a disadvantage, it is my wife who takes care of me."

Lengzhenshan: “…”

In front of so many people, they couldn't say too much, so they simply exchanged greetings and stepped aside.

Situ Qing said in a clear voice: "This time, the competition will have 200 participants from the Colonel Battalion, the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards. The winner will receive 100 gold coins and be appointed centurion..."

He was speaking at the top, while Xie Yuantang and others were whispering below.

The twelve-year-old Leng Junsi looked at her curiously: "Are you my little cousin?"

Xie Yuantang blinked, looked at this chubby little cousin, and smiled:

"Cousin, are you unsure of my bloodline, or are you unsure of your own?"

Leng Junsi: “…”

Leng Yunting, who was listening to this, twitched his lips slightly, and finally understood what Leng Yunchao meant by "niece is special".

After Situ Qing finished speaking, Qu Pei announced the detailed competition system for this competition:

"The six hundred guards of the Imperial Guards of the Colonel's Camp will be reorganized. The Emperor and the five princes will each lead a team. The initial number of each of the six teams will be 100. Any casualties within seven days will be borne by the team members themselves."

"There are tiger head seals in the three plots of Back Mountain, Forest, and Empty Village. The one who gets the tiger head seal will get 50 points."

"There are twelve pennants within the venue, and each pennant is worth five points."

"Each team can attack and capture the other team. Each team will get one point for capturing one person."

"After seven days, the team with the most total points wins."

After the scoring system was announced, everyone became a little nervous.

Situ Feng swallowed her saliva and asked Situ Xu in a half-comprehending tone: "Xu'er, it sounds like the silk flag has the best score. All we have to do is find the flag."

Situ Xu smiled, shook his head and explained: "On the contrary, I can say that among more than 600 people, almost no one tried to grab the silk banner."

"what?"

Situ Feng was even more confused: "Why?"

Situ Xu pointed to a forest and said, "It's such a big place, the twelve small flags could be hidden anywhere. Each flag is only five points, and each prisoner is one point. Do you think it's more cost-effective for me to go through the trouble of finding a flag, or is it easier to just capture five people?"

Situ Feng was stunned, scratched his head and said, "It seems... it makes some sense, then isn't it dangerous to fight back and forth?"

Situ Xu shook his head again, this time lowering his voice a lot, and whispered in her ear: "On the surface, the one with more points wins, but sister, have you ever thought about why the teams are led by princes?"

Situ Feng suddenly froze.

Situ Xu whispered, "There are six teams and three territories. One of the territories will definitely be taken by my father. Among the five princes, only two can grab the territories."

Only those who grab it can stand out among many princes in this treacherous battle between princes.

Situ Feng bit her lip and looked at the brothers and sisters standing beside her. They had been playing together in the small dark room and writing self-criticisms together a few days ago, but today they were fighting to the death again.

Situ Feng: "What you mean is..."

Situ Xu raised his lips with an evil smile: "All teams will go to grab the territory! No matter what the cost!"
