Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle
Chapter 73 Willing to admit defeat
It was noon.
The emperor has returned from hunting and is resting and preparing to have lunch.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard in the silent camp: "Black Wolf has been caught!"
The camp was in an uproar and everyone ran to check.
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately walked out of the tent and saw Jiang Ningwan and his group returning from afar.
Several people pushed the black wolf tied up in a large net in a wheelchair, and Jiang Zhouye carried the King of Chu on his back.
Full of vigor and momentum.
"It's only been half a day, and we've already caught the black wolf. This is incredible!"
“They are so amazing!”
In their team, there was the King of Chu who was disabled in legs and feet, and two women, Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi.
And in Zhou Jingxuan's team, there are three people who have been on the battlefield.
The gap in strength was so huge that no one thought Jiang Ningwan's team would win.
But not only did they win, they also came back as quickly as possible.
After the black wolf was sent to the camp, he was immediately locked in an iron cage.
The Emperor was delighted after reading it. "I send people to capture this black wolf every year, but I've never succeeded. How did you catch it so easily?!"
Qin Wenli immediately said, "In reply to Father, this is all thanks to Ning Wan and the Emperor's uncle's good tactics."
"Tactics? You have tactics?" The emperor felt very curious.
Jiang Ningwan replied, "Since it's a competition, of course there must be tactics. It's just like marching and fighting a war. We can't rely solely on force and brute force."
"Wisdom is more important."
Hearing this, the emperor nodded in appreciation, "I underestimated you before."
Although they had tactics, for just five of them to subdue such a ferocious beast, their martial arts skills were extraordinary.
"You have solved such a great problem, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Have a banquet tonight, I want to celebrate!"
After Jiang Zhouye carried Qin Shuangchi into the tent, he carried the wheelchair to clean it.
Jiang Ningwan and a few others stayed in the camp to guard Black Wolf, waiting for Zhou Jingxuan and the others to return.
But it was almost dark when the group returned to the camp in a terrible state. Not only did they return empty-handed, but they were also injured.
It looked like it had been through a fierce fight.
It must be the smell of blood that attracted other beasts.
Several people's faces were filled with resentment and hatred. Zhou Jingxuan came up and complained to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Jiang Ningwan and the others knocked us unconscious and almost got us eaten by wild beasts!"
Hearing this, the emperor was shocked and looked at the few people who looked very embarrassed.
"Is it really so?" The emperor looked at Jiang Ningwan.
"Your Majesty, this is slander! Although I am skilled in medicine, I do not know how to use drugs."
"If the emperor doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to come and check. If I carry drugs that could make them faint, I am willing to be punished!"
Zhou Jingxuan was furious. "What is that drug..."
Zhou Jingxuan almost swallowed the words back when Lu Qingheng gently pulled his sleeve.
After all, it was Mo Yuanxing who planned it first. If they really tried to force it, they would not be able to win against Jiang Ningwan.
"What is it? Tell me! Haven't you prepared a good explanation yet?" Pei Xunzhi asked sharply.
Zhou Jingxuan clenched his palms tightly, extremely angry.
Jiang Zhouye came back carrying the wheelchair and couldn't help but sneer, "You were the ones who insisted on having the competition, and now you've lost and are still making excuses. If I had known you couldn't afford it, I wouldn't have gambled, and I wouldn't have had to wash the wheelchair for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."
Qin Wenli sighed helplessly, "It's not gentlemanly to blame someone else after losing the bet. Don't let them lead you astray, big brother."
Under the continuous attacks, several people's faces turned pale.
Even the emperor looked a little displeased. "Cheng Qian, a man should be upright and unyielding. Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. I can lose the bet, but I cannot lose my integrity."
Qin Chengqian quickly said, "Father, I lost the bet. I won't make excuses and will honor my promise!"
As the crown prince, Qin Chengqian's breaking of his promise is much more serious than losing a bet.
Now that he said so, the other people in the team couldn't deny it.
"Tell me, what do you want us to do?" Zhou Jingxuan said reluctantly.
Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "Seeing how disheveled you all are, why don't you go take a shower, change clothes, and rest for a while?"
"I'll tell you the stakes at the banquet tonight."
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Everyone was already gathered for the banquet that evening. Asking them to fulfill the bet then would be tantamount to embarrassing them in front of everyone.
After they left, Jiang Ningwan and others came to the King of Chu's tent and discussed the bet for the evening and what they should do.
But no one had any idea.
"Ning Wan, this bet was made between you and Zhou Jingxuan, so you think about it." Jiang Zhouye suggested.
Others nodded.
"Well...I have a selfish motive."
"It's okay, we all support you!" Qin Wenli said cheerfully.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Ningwan finally looked at Qin Shuangchi, "Does the prince agree?"
Qin Shuangchi's face was cold and stern, "I have only one condition."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"When you return, compensate me with a new wheelchair."
Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, "Okay! Pay ten!"
Jiang Zhouye coughed awkwardly twice, "Don't blame me, I've already washed it very clean, but the smell just won't go away."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The King of Chu was surprisingly not angry.
The King of Chu, who used to be so high and mighty that no one could approach him, didn't seem so scary anymore.
……
Night falls.
The palace was brightly lit, string music could be heard from the hall, dancers came in one after another, and the banquet had begun.
At this time, everyone in the palace knew that Jiang Ningwan's team had captured the black wolf.
The Queen Mother held Jiang Ningwan in one hand and Qin Wenli in the other, and listened to them talk about the process of catching the black wolf today, which was thrilling.
He praised repeatedly: "You have such ability, it really makes me look at you with new eyes!"
After a while, Qin Chengqian entered the hall.
He immediately brought the others to ask Jiang Ningwan: "Can you tell me now? What do you want us to do?"
Jiang Ningwan stood up. "Let me confirm. Zhou Jingxuan said at the time that we should put aside our identities and play a big game. The loser must kneel down and admit that they are useless, and do something for the winner. Is that correct?"
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Kneeling down and admitting that they were useless? That was a bit too much.
This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Qin Chengqian couldn't help but clench his palms. Did Jiang Ningwan still want him to kneel down?
He gritted his teeth and replied, "That's right."
Jiang Ningwan said thoughtfully, "If I kneel down..."
Everyone in the hall held their breath.
Even the Queen Mother was worried. This girl couldn't be that brave, could she?
"If you're going to kneel, kneel to the Emperor!"
"I want all of you to kneel down and plead for me, asking the Emperor to allow me to join the Southern Expedition!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng's faces changed drastically, and they looked at Jiang Ningwan in shock.
Jiang Ningwan responded with a provocative smile.
Didn't they try every possible means to stop her from going on the Southern Expedition? Now they have to plead for her in person and let her go on the Southern Expedition.
I wonder how the couple feels.
Several people froze and did not move for a moment.
Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "I'm willing to accept the loss..."
