Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Who said this?

Why is it him?

The eyes of all the civil and military officials were fixed on Song Yuan.

The princess and the prince also looked idiotic.

Even Song Youji tightly gripped the wine glass in his hand, forgetting etiquette.

This time, everyone had only one thought in their mind.

Is he kidding?

Five steps?

Even the third brother was defeated.

As the eldest brother, Song Yuan should at least consider the occasion even if he wants to show off, right?

This time we are facing barbarians!

It's the enemy!

If he makes a fool of himself in this matter, he will be truly embarrassed abroad!

"What are you doing? Sit down!"

Situ Jing pulled Song Yuan's sleeve with all her might, lowered her head, and wished she could crawl into the crack in the ground.

She only regretted the words she had said to provoke Song Yuan.

If this guy really goes crazy, how can I handle him?

Five steps?

This was a difficult problem that troubled all the civil and military officials in the court, and even the third prince was defeated.

Even if I give you five years, you still wouldn't be qualified!

"Please sit down now, please don't take me with you!"

"Brother, do you know what kind of occasion this is? This is not the place for you to go crazy. Sit down!"

A loud shout came from the mouth of the third prince Song Qi.

His eyes were wide open, and he finally found an opportunity to attract other people's attention and cover up his failure.

How could Song Qi miss it in vain?

"It's enough that you usually act up. You're the eldest brother, so we can accommodate you. But what's the occasion this time?"

"This is a matter of national importance, you can't mess around. You've said so much, if something goes wrong, can you bear the consequences?"

Even the powerful prime minister Lin Fu stood up.

"Your Highness, although this isn't the palace, this is a matter of the court's dignity. If you truly made a mistake, do you think you can just brush it off with a few words?"

"I'm warning you, don't say anything nonsense. If you let outsiders look down on the Great Qin, you will be a criminal, and even if you are cut into pieces, it will not be too much!"

Seeing his father-in-law talking about the matter so seriously, Song Qi became even more excited: "Brother, take back what you said before. Maybe there is still room for turning back."

"Otherwise, if you really make a fool of yourself, even if I, as your younger brother, want to help you, I'm afraid I won't have the face to do so. If father punishes you, how can you bear it?"

Thinking of his previous plan with Lin Fu, Song Qi almost laughed out loud in his heart.

I was originally thinking about how to seduce Song Yuan to show up?

This guy is standing up on his own initiative now. Isn't it obvious that he is looking for death?

This guy is so arrogant that he dares to say something like "Five Steps Away". Just based on this behavior, he might be convicted!

"Brother, don't forget that our father is at this banquet right here. You're joking in front of him. Do you really think the word 'royal family' is a joke?"

"Oh, now I remember. The so-called majesty of the king is inviolable. You just said that. Even if you want to go back now, it's probably too late. If you change your words, it will be the crime of deceiving the king!"

"Brother, even if I wanted to help you now, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do so!"

Song Qi became more aggressive and added fuel to the fire.

In just a few words, Song Yuan was accused of deceiving the emperor.

Song Yuan looked aggrieved at this moment, and muttered softly, "Third brother, you are clearly wronging me again. I just said one thing, how can it be as serious as you say?"

"How can it be so serious? Big brother, you know that there is no joking in front of the king!"

Song Qi interrupted and said sternly, "The Emperor is here, and you're already rushing to stand up and steal the show before he even says anything. Aren't you treating him like a joke?"

"Also, in front of the envoys, where do you place the reputation of the dynasty? Just thinking like that is a serious crime!"

"If you continue to quibble, you're trying to escape responsibility. In my opinion, even taking away your title of prince is not a bad idea!"

The more Song Qi spoke, the more excited he became. One accusation after another fell directly on Song Yuan's head.

Seeing that the situation was tense, Song Youji finally couldn't sit still anymore. He glared at Song Yuan fiercely and thought to himself.

This boss really makes me worry. You said you should just sit there quietly, why do you show up for no reason?

"Alright, I think Yuan'er is also eager to protect the country. In his excitement, he said some things beyond his ability. It's understandable!"

"Yuan'er, please sit down. Also, Third Brother, he is your eldest brother after all, so let's not pursue what happened before!"

Song Youji's remarks clearly showed his intention to protect Song Yuan.

But no one expected that this ridiculous eldest prince would stand up again on his own initiative without realizing it.

"Father, I am speaking the truth. This so-called chess game is truly nothing in my eyes. Beating him in five moves is already modesty on my part!"

"Father, if you are willing to give me a chance, I can prove what I said in front of you!"

good good!

Hearing Song Yuan's response, the third prince Song Qi laughed out loud in his heart.

My stupid elder brother, even the Prince of Rock can’t save you today!

The emperor came out to speak for you, and the matter was already resolved. But you still insisted on being in the spotlight. It seems that even if I don't send you off, you don't want to do that!

"Brother, I think you're truly stubborn!" To add fuel to the fire, Song Qi pretended to sigh, "Father was originally planning to release you, but you were still determined to die. With your foolish appearance, how can you even think of cracking it in five steps? I think you're a complete joke!"

"How about this, let's make a bet?" Facing Song Qi's sarcasm, Song Yuan said very seriously.

You have tried time and again to take advantage of my misfortune. How can I save my dignity if I don't teach you a lesson?

"Hahaha, brother, you are such a joke. Chess looks simple, but it is actually ever-changing. I'm afraid only a frog in the well like you can say such arrogant words!" Song Qi laughed.

This time, even the high priest Bulma couldn't sit still.

Witnessing the brothers killing each other, the smile on his face became even wider.

"I never thought that a defeated general could be so arrogant. However, in this prince, I can see the reason for your Qin Dynasty's failure!"

"You are complacent and look down on others. This is the real reason why you are being bullied now!"

court death!

As soon as Bulma said this, everyone couldn't sit still.

It's fine if one of our own people is making a fool of themselves, but now they are being mocked by an outsider, who can stand it?

"Boss, that's enough!" Song Youji clenched his fists fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuan became even more excited.

"High Priest, you are second only to the barbarians. Let me ask you, are you sure today that I absolutely cannot win within five steps?"

"Of course!" Bulma nodded. "This young man is my apprentice. I personally trained him in chess. Even I wouldn't be able to beat him at chess. Among the barbarians, I'm considered the best at chess. Looking around the world, who else can compare to me?"

"Okay!" Seeing Bulma's confidence, Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then, High Priest, do you dare to bet with me? Let's bet on whether I can win in five steps this time!"

Weng...

The scene instantly became boiling, and everyone was shocked when they saw Song Yuan shouting.

This kid, it's okay to show off in front of his own people.

How bold is he?

What qualifications does he have to gamble with the high priest?

If I really lose...what kind of punishment will I face?
