In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

The "plum wine" in Chen Zhibao's hand stabbed at Bai Qi again.

The latter raised his hand and held the sword horizontally, against the spear.

The tip of the spear scraped across the sword, making a sharp sound and producing sparks.

Chen Zhibao moved forward step by step, while Bai Qi supported the sword with both hands and stepped back a few steps.

next moment.

One foot on the ground.

A hole suddenly appeared on the wooden arena.

See this.

Bai Qi continued to retreat and kicked against the wooden pillar at the edge of the ring.

The whole person was pushed forward.

tread! tread! tread! tread!

Chen Zhibao felt the tremendous force coming from the "plum wine" and stepped back a few steps. Then his whole body flew into the air to relieve the huge force.

"Plum Wine" stabbed towards the ground, but before the tip of the spear reached the ground, a deep pit was blasted out by a force of energy.

Chen Zhibao fell to the ground, holding the "plum wine" in his hand, which made a buzzing sound and made his palm numb.

Bai Qi landed gracefully on the ground, and the three-foot green peak in his hand was buzzing, but it soon subsided.

"Still fighting?"

Bai Qi asked.

"do not fight."

Chen Zhibao said with a gloomy look.

"Admit defeat?"

Bai Qi asked.

"Admit defeat."

Chen Zhibao replied.

He is a little confused now, more confused than ever before.

This was the first time that he was restrained and suppressed in the Beiliang arena.

I didn't even have the strength to resist.

Chen Zhibao put away the "plum wine" and stared at Bai Qi, "General Bai, who taught you the art of war?"

Bai Qi thought about it and said with a smile: "The battle was fought with swords and knives."

"I walked up step by step, step by step, on piles of bones."

"Isn't there a saying that goes 'One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men'? I am that kind of person."

He couldn't say:

I came out of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s system, right?

Just make up a reason and I believe people like Chen Zhibao won’t ask any more questions.

After all, asking about one's master is a taboo no matter when or where.

If the other party is willing to answer, then answer. If they don’t want to answer, then don’t answer, and I won’t ask any further questions.

Hearing this, Chen Zhibao already knew that Bai Qi would not easily reveal his master.

He didn't ask any more questions.

"There's no need for a martial arts competition."

Chen Zhibao was excited, but his expression was calm, just like "the Taishan Mountain collapsed in front of him but he remained calm, and a tiger approached behind him but he was not frightened"

Bai Qi: "General Chen, I think you have the talent to lead a commander, but you are a loner."

"But you are a capable person after all. It is normal and understandable that you have some flaws in this area."

"But what I said is that these are not the general's shortcomings, but advantages."

Chen Zhibao didn't respond, but changed the subject: "Let's compete in literature."

Bai Qi's eyes lit up: "How do we compare?"

Chen Zhibao thought for a moment and said, "Come on, follow me."

Everyone followed Chen Zhibao into the tent.

Entering the tent, what comes into view is a sand table——

Beiliang sand table!

There are many flags on it, divided into three groups: red, blue and yellow.

The red side is Beiliang, the blue side is Beimang, and the yellow side is Liyang.

All three camps were placed on the sand table.

Chen Zhibao pointed at the sand table and said, "This is the topographic map of Beiliang and the surrounding situation. Let's use this sand table to deduce."

"how?"

Bai Qi looked at the entire sand table and said without hesitation: "Yes."

The rest of the people looked at the two of them.

…………

At this time, Xu Xiao was on the eighth floor of Tingchaoting.

At this moment.

He was standing side by side with Li Yishan.

Both of them stood at the window, looking outside, but each of them was thinking in their hearts.

Everyone seems to be anxious about one thing.

"Yuan Ying, what on earth is wrong with Ping An? He is so decisive and confident in his actions. He doesn't seem unprepared at all."

Xu Xiao muttered.

"Your Highness, I have a feeling too. His Highness the Crown Prince already had a plan. He is well aware of the situation in Beiliang. First, it was your six adopted sons, and then it was Chen Zhibao."

Li Yishan shook his head and said:

"The next step might be to subdue the rest of Beiliang."

"For those who defend him, he will appoint them as appropriate. For those who refuse to obey, there has been a duel between Chen Zhibao and Bai Qi, and later there will be a duel between Lu Bu and Yuan Zuozong... I am afraid that from now on, Beiliang will soon be controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Yuan Ying, what should we do?"

Li Yishan thought for a moment and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I still think the same as before."

Xu Xiao nodded and said, "We will stabilize Beiliang."

Li Yishan said quietly: "The road ahead for Beiliang will be even more difficult."

Xu Xiao smiled and said, "The road to Beiliang has always been full of thorns. I'm used to it. Whatever the kid wants to do, as long as he really wants to... I'll do it for him."

"He wants me to abdicate and take control of Beiliang. I have no complaints."

"Because I just want to see my eldest son grow up quickly."

"..."

Li Yishan nodded and said, "I was worried that you would object, Your Majesty."

"Oppose?" Xu Xiao smiled and said, "I wish Ping An could be more successful than me. I asked him about it. Since he has this idea, he must support it."

"It's just... it goes against my last words to Wu Su."

"But I think if she knew her child, she wouldn't blame me for having such thoughts."

"The Emperor of the Zhao family in Liyang is pushing too hard."

"I also kind of... don't want to endure it anymore."

Li Yishan remained silent.

Xu Xiao suddenly asked: "Yuanying, I want to meet that Bai Qi."

Li Yishan: "I want to meet him."

Xu Xiao frowned and said, "If I hand over the military power of Beiliang to a stranger, I'm afraid Ping An won't know him and will end up putting his trust in the wrong person."

"Beiliang can't take this risk."

"This Bai Qi actually beat Chen Zhibao in terms of fighting power. He will have a firm foothold in Beiliang in the future."

"I am now more interested in the literary comparison between the two."

Li Yishan was skeptical, "I also want to know what kind of person this guy named Bai Qi is."

Xu Xiao thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Yishan and asked, "Let's meet together?"

"No," Li Yishan refused, "Your Highness, only by meeting alone can you show your sincerity. If I were to be present, it would inevitably seem like I was questioning and scrutinizing you."

Xu Xiao frowned and said, "You can't even stand this?"

Li Yishan shook his head and said, "If this Bai Qi wins over Chen Zhibao in the literary competition, Beiliang will be more stable."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao had already understood the meaning of Li Yishan's words.

Based on his understanding of Chen Zhibao, if he lost, there would really be a possibility of reconciling with Ping An.

It might not be a bad idea to become the backbone of Xu Ping'an's men.

It depends on Xu Ping'an's next choice.

Xu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I want to meet him alone."

Li Yishan continued to write quickly at his desk.

Because he now wants to write down all of Beiliang's plans in detail to Xu Ping'an.

As the person behind Beiliang, he is very aware of his own health and knows that he doesn't have much time left.

barracks.

Chen Zhibao looked at the flag on the sand table with a grim expression, but there was a gleam of light in his eyes.

The people standing around were also silent.

Because they were all involved in it just now and even discussed it.

But even if all of them came together to make plans, they would not be able to fight against Bai Qi.

But here, they dared not whisper.

I dare not even discuss it.

But I have already started to mutter in my heart:

"Who on earth is this Bai Qi?"

"He has outstanding military strength, and now he is suppressing General Chen in military strategy..."

"..."

No one dared to breathe and secretly glanced at Chen Zhibao who was standing there without saying a word.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Zhibao to speak.

He didn't speak, and no one here dared to speak.

"I lost."

After a long time.

Chen Zhibao finally spoke.

His words surprised everyone present, but were also expected.

Everyone saw it just now:

Bai Qi was forward-looking both in terms of local and overall layout.

As a commander-in-chief.

Having all these, Chen Zhibao is not only outstanding in terms of martial arts, but also in command.

"General Chen, since we've lost, can we sit down and talk?"

Xu Ping'an strikes while the iron is hot.

Chen Zhibao made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, you can say whatever you want to say now."

Xu Ping'an glanced at everyone present.

Chen Zhibao asked the rest of the people to leave the camp.

Only Xu Ping'an, Chen Zhibao, Bai Qi and Lu Bu were left in the camp.

Xu Ping'an walked to a throne and sat down, while Lu Bu and Bai Qi stood on both sides.

"General Chen, please take a seat."

Xu Ping'an took the initiative.

Chen Zhibao didn't care. He walked to the armchair opposite and sat down, staring at Xu Ping'an:

"Tell me, what do you want to do?!"

Chen Zhibao's words have a lot of meaning.

It can be understood from all aspects.

He has already acknowledged Xu Ping'an's ability, specifically, Bai Qi's ability.

Whether in terms of martial strength or military strategy, they are all superior to him.

In some ways, Xu Ping'an has a good ability to judge people.

Chen Zhibao also noticed the personal bodyguard beside Xu Ping'an, who was also extremely dangerous.

The aura of this person made him feel suffocated.

Xu Ping'an got straight to the point: "I want to go south to avenge my mother."
