Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

"What? Wanna compete?"

Tuoba Muyuan looked at Chen Jingting who was riding a horse not far away. He was young, vigorous and unrestrained. If he were Princess Huayang, he would also choose him.

The horse stopped not far from him, because when a horse meets another of its own kind, especially one that feels threatened, it will let out a howl and retreat.

Tuoba Muyuan gently stroked his beloved horse, soothing him to stay calm.

On the other hand, Chen Jingting, sitting on the horse, was not affected by the horse's temperament at all. His condescending attitude, looking down on everything, actually made people feel pressured.

He drove his horse and forced Tuoba Muyuan to retreat step by step.

Chen Jingting said, "Seventh Prince, you are blocking the princess's way. Please move aside."

Wen Xing was sitting in the carriage. When he heard Chen Jingting's words, he raised his eyebrows at Tuoba Muyuan.

Tuoba Muyuan said, "I saw Princess Huayang's carriage and came up to say hello."

Wen Xingchen burst into laughter after hearing this. He was indeed a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Wen Xingchen leaned against the car window and looked at Chen Jingting from the side.

"Brother Jingting, I'm just about to go look for you." Wen Xingchen's beautiful face and pleasant voice came out of the car, making people feel comfortable.

Chen Jingting nodded: "Yes."

Chen Jingting then looked at Tuoba Muyuan and said, "Seventh Prince, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

"and many more."

Wen Xingchen called him and said, "Where is the Seventh Prince Tuoba? He wants to challenge Brother Jingting."

Chen Jingting said, "Huh, what do you want to compete in? Military tactics?"

The sarcasm is obvious.

Of course, Chen Jingting himself didn't realize who he was mocking?

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"What can be compared to the art of war? Just because I have a good memory and have read hundreds of military books, does that mean I can become a good general? It's just theoretical talk. Combat is about applying the learned art of war to actual situations. Only then can one truly understand the art of war."

Tuoba Muyuan looked at Wen Xingchen and asked, "Princess Huayang thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin doesn't understand the art of war."

"He..." Wen Xingchen chuckled. "Seventh Prince, you said that the Lu family's military manual fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Do you think he could understand it in just a few days?"

Tuoba Muyuan asked, "The Lu family's military manual? Why did Princess Huayang say it was the Lu family's military manual?"

"Didn't His Highness the Seventh Prince say that? Or did His Highness not know that the book belonged to the Lu family?"

Tuoba Muyuan laughed and said, "Of course, that book is the Lu family's military manual."

Wen Xingchen pretended to be puzzled and said, "This princess is very confused. How did you know that the book belonged to the Lu family?"

Tuoba Muyuan said: "Of course, this king listens to the opinions of the people."

"They say that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin appropriated the hard work of the Lu family's ancestors and claimed credit for it. Such a person is truly despicable. I will expose him and restore justice to the Lu family."

Wen Xingchen listened to his nonsense explanation but did not expose him.

"Your Highness is indeed righteous, but there is one thing you have misunderstood."

"what?"

"Your Highness Prince Jin, that military manual does not belong to the Lu family."

"..."

"That set of military manuals was written by this princess herself with the guidance of the gods."

Tuoba Muyuan felt that his intelligence was insulted.

"Princess Huayang, are you joking?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"No, how could you not believe it? This princess not only memorized the Lu family's military manual, but also other things."

"What else?"

"For example, Sun Tzu's Art of War."

The Art of War?

That is an ancient book that has been lost for many years.

If the Lu family's Art of War was only aimed at Western Xia, then Sun Tzu's Art of War was aimed at all strategies. It is a rare treasure for military strategists.

Wen Xingchen saw the heat and disbelief in Tuoba Muyuan's eyes.

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"What does the princess want to compete in?"

Wen Xingchen said, "The art of war is all about deception. It's unchanging and has no new ideas. For example, how about we conduct a night raid to rescue the enemy?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's like this princess has been kidnapped. You two have to find a way to rescue her without alerting anyone else."

"What if it succeeds? What if it fails?"

"It's just a competition, there's no winning or losing. In the end, I'll write out Sun Tzu's Art of War and give it to them."

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll wait for you, Princess, to be kidnapped."

Tuoba Muyuan left.

Chen Jingting remained silent and thought to himself: Has Wen Xingchen admitted it?

Wen Xingchen said to the person still sitting on the horse: "Come on board and talk?"

"Princess, that set of military manuals was given to you by the Lu family, right? How did it end up in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

Wen Xingchen sighed helplessly, "It's hard to put it into words."

"You gave it to His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Why would I give it to him? It's my fault for not storing it properly, so it was stolen."

steal?

It wasn't from you? Chen Jingting felt a little relieved.

He jumped out of the carriage, threw the whip to someone beside him, and then got in.

This is the first time he has taken the initiative.

Wen Xingchen had some bad thoughts in mind, but Chen Jingting said businesslike:

"What is your plan, Princess? Why do you want me to compete with Tuoba Muyuan?"

Wen Xingchen said helplessly: "Did you watch the match between His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Tuoba Muyuan?"

Chen Jingting didn't see it, but he heard about it.

Xiao Sheng was ambitious and had no idea how to lead troops, but he insisted on competing with him in military strategy, so naturally he was defeated miserably.

"It's okay for Xiao Sheng to lose, but Daliang can't lose. It's too shameful."

Is it embarrassing? Chen Jingting has recently heard many people complain about Xiao Sheng, saying that he doesn't know his own limitations.

"Daliang these past few years..." Wen Xingchen thought about it and felt that it would easily cause Chen Jingting to have wild thoughts, so he said, "The Protector of the Nation Princess said that Daliang needs to recuperate in the next few years and is not suitable for going to war with Xixia."

"If Xiao Sheng's stupidity leads Tuoba Muyuan to believe that there is no one in our Daliang army and that we are easy to bully, then Tuoba Muyuan will definitely declare war on Daliang when he returns."

Chen Jingting was very satisfied with Wen Xingchen's stupid evaluation of Xiao Sheng.

He listened quietly to Wen Xingchen's words.

"So we need to do something to make Tuoba Muyuan wary and delay the situation for a few years, giving Daliang a chance to recuperate."

Chen Jingting looked at Wen Xingchen. She spoke these truths so naturally.

It's consistent with what my old man said.

A princess with such a broad mind...has the ability to be a prime minister.

"What are your plans, Princess?"

"I will inform Tuoba Muyuan and have him join you in raiding the Changyuan Marquis's mansion at night and kidnap me. Of course, I will set up all the traps and wait for you to come and kidnap me."

"Why did the princess choose to hold the competition at the Changyuan Marquis' Mansion?"

"Of course it's because the Changyuan Marquis Mansion is the place this princess is most familiar with and easier to control."

"What if I lose?"

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "This princess believes in you. You will not lose and will definitely rescue me."

This princess believes you?

This one sentence made Chen Jingting relax his guard.

Chen Jingting felt uncomfortable because the Lu family's military book appeared in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

However, today, Wen Xingchen's performance made him very satisfied.
