Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: The Competition Begins (3)



Even God was helping him!

A guard from the Marquis of Zhenbei came over from behind and reported in a low voice to the Old Marquis and Qin Canglan, “Masters, something bad has happened to Eldest Young Master and Fifth Young Master on the way…”

Their expressions changed.

Emperor Jing Xuan said lightly, “Since Qin Jiang has no objections, let’s do as the Count of Zhenbei says and let Su Cheng’s son compete on his behalf… The adopted son is fine too. Bring him up.”

How would they do that?

He was gone!

It was over, it was over.

No matter how much one planned, one could not predict a natural disaster. What should they do?

“My two beloved ministers, the time has come. If Su Cheng refuses to fight, then I will judge Qin Jiang as the winner.”

“Father, is there only one round?” Princess Jingning asked.

Emperor Jing Xuan was quite gentle with his daughter. “Three rounds, but if he doesn’t come…”

Princess Jing Ning said, “Father, this is the first round. Two wins out of three.”

Emperor Jing Xuan accepted Princess Jingning’s suggestion. “Then let’s wait for another 15 minutes. If Qin Jiang doesn’t appear after 15 minutes, the second round will also be decided.”

There was no longer any suspense.

Natural disasters blocked people on the road. It was impossible for them to arrive in fifteen minutes.

It seemed like they were going to lose today’s competition.

It was a pity that Qin Jiang was injured by Wei Ting. Originally, he did not have the advantage. If he even won in the weakest aspect, the subsequent situation would be very disadvantageous to Su Cheng.

Time passed bit by bit.

The officials began to whisper.

“Why isn’t the youngest grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei here yet?” “Are you unhappy?

“He’s clearly the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei’s legitimate wife. If he is suddenly adopted by an uncle he’s never met before, I’m afraid no one will agree easily…”

“The youngest grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been unruly. At home, he always gives the Marquis of Zhenbei and Minister Su a headache.”

“Why didn’t Su Cheng come personally? I understand that he can’t win, but he has to come and take a look. A man shouldn’t be a coward!”

“Something happened to him. I heard that he was frightened! When he heard that he was going to compete with Qin Jiang, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to get out of bed…”

“Ah… If he’s really such a cowardly rat, wouldn’t it be too rash to give military power to such a good-for-nothing?”

“So, let’s hope that Qin Jiang wins…”

Qin Yanran couldn’t help but be overjoyed when she heard everyone’s discussion.

The gloominess of the past few days had finally culminated to this moment.

Su Cheng did not even dare to leave the house. How could such a good -for-nothing be worthy of being her father’s opponent?

The flesh and blood of a good-for-nothing could only be a good-for-nothing. She touched her cheek. That girl had slapped her. She would return it sooner or later!

“Boring!” Princess Hui An frowned gloomily.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have followed Jingning to join in the fun.

Eunuch Fu glanced at the hourglass beside him.

Fifteen minutes passed, but he pretended not to see it.

On the other side, Eunuch Quan, who was serving tea, saw that he was silent and realized that his chance had come.

Eunuch Quan said obsequiously, “Your Majesty! Fifteen minutes is up!”

Princess Jingning glared at him.

Qin Jiang was overjoyed.

So what if Wei Ting had broken one of his ribs? In the end, Su Cheng had no way of competing with him!

Xiao Duye picked up his teacup and leaned toward Xiao Zhonghua. “Third brother, big brother congratulates you in advance.”

Xiao Zhonghua sipped his tea expressionlessly.

Emperor Jing Xuan also lost his patience. He glanced at the empty seat next to Qin Canglan and said indifferently, “The second round..

Before he could finish speaking, a strong voice sounded not far away.

“Protector Duke requests an audience…” Qin Jiang trembled.

Who wanted to request an audience?

Protector Duke?

He straightened up strangely and turned his head to look in the direction he had come from. He saw a man wearing silver armor and carrying a large saber on his shoulder walking towards the arena in a mighty and domineering manner.

Who else could it be but Su Cheng?

The current Su Cheng was not the commoner he had seen on the streets, nor was he the father who had been furious in the middle of the night a few days ago. He had put on a cold armor.

He looked like a general on the battlefield.

His temperament had changed drastically.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qin Jiang wouldn’t have believed it.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting also came over.

The two of them did not talk. They just “coincidentally” bumped into each other at the entrance of the palace.

The three of them bowed to Emperor Jing Xuan.

This was the first time Emperor Jing Xuan had seen this father-daughter pair who wandered among the commoners.

The little girl was chubby and had exquisite facial features. She was round and cute, but her eyes were very cold.

Although she grew up in the countryside, she did not have the slightest bit of pettiness. Her actions were dignified, calm, and elegant, and she had a rare heroic spirit.

Su Cheng was indeed Qin Canglan’s biological son. He was much more like Qin

Canglan than Qin Jiang, and he also had some traces of the Marquis of Zhenbei. His nephew was like his uncle.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Are you Qin che?”
