Dongwan's envoy arrived at the capital of Western Chu three days ahead of schedule, and the envoy headed by the envoy was Fan Tianchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Western Chu.

With all kinds of gifts prepared by Emperor Dongwan, Fan Tianchen immediately met with Emperor Nangong Qing of Western Chu. Fan Tianchen expressed the opinion of Emperor Dongwan, and immediately said that he wanted to see the crown prince Xiao Yuqi after offering the gift, hoping that Emperor Xichu would agree.

Nangong Qing didn't want to think about it, and directly refused, and said that it was not suitable for Prince Xiao to meet outsiders now, and he was preparing for the competition in three days.

No matter what Fan Tianchen said, Nangong Qing did not agree, just to prevent Dongwan from doing anything.

In the end, Fan Tianchen had no choice but to give up, but he still handed over some of the things prepared by Emperor Dongwan to the prince Xiao Yuqi. For this point, Nangong Qing did not refuse, just a few items, if he refused again, it would seem that there were not a lot of Xichu.

After letting the chamberlain check the items, he asked Sun Dafu to personally send them to the Hanya Palace.

In September, Xichu has begun to gradually turn cooler, fading away from the summer heat, but the Hanya Hall is located in a remote area, and it has long brought a trace of coolness. On the depressed palace walls, creepers have begun to shed their leaves, and some trees that have been left untended all year round are even bare, with only one branch left.

"Prince Xiao!" As soon as he entered the Hanya Palace, Sun Dafu shouted in a long voice.

For Xiao Yuqi, he didn't dare to take a second look, and he had to be respectful when he met him, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all. But now, with a casual face, he walked in with a shake of the dust in his hand, looking like he was strolling leisurely, with a hint of arrogance.

No response came, as if the temple was empty.

The attendants with the items looked around, looking everywhere, and finally saw a figure sitting at the desk, holding a pen in a daze, as if he had fallen into deep thought, motionless. wanted to step forward, but didn't dare, the attendants could only look at Sun Dafu and signal what he should do.

The corners of his lips hooked a mocking smile, Sun Dafu deliberately stepped over and stopped standing behind Xiao Yuqi. But after waiting for a while, he still didn't wait for Xiao Yuqi to notice, and he didn't even turn his head back, he was impatient: "Ahem!" ”

"Prince Xiao, the miscellaneous family is ordered by His Majesty to send you something."

Raising his head slightly, Xiao Yuqi paused in his hand, and said after a while: "Put it down, you can go." ”

With a sneer, Sun Dafu walked to the desk, looked down at Xiao Yuqi, and his eyes fell on what he was writing: "There are still three days before the official competition, Prince Xiao doesn't practice martial arts but writes here, is it because he has already admitted defeat?" ”

With a look in his eyes, Xiao Yuqi was angry, but his face was not at all: "Admit defeat or not, it has nothing to do with Manager Sun, right?" Your Majesty asked you to deliver something, just put it down. Hongu is tired and wants to rest, so you can go out. ”

"These things were sent by His Majesty Dongwan, didn't Prince Xiao order them?" Sun Dafu dragged out his voice in a strange way, glanced at Xiao Yuqi meaningfully, and turned around to leave: "Since this is the case, it seems that Prince Xiao is not interested, so the miscellaneous family will ......"

"Wait!"

Only then did he know the source of these things, Xiao Yuqi immediately stood up: "Leave the things!" ”

Sun Dafu laughed: "The miscellaneous family thought that Prince Xiao didn't want it, and was about to send it out and throw it away!" ”

Such an insult, not caring about his identity, Xiao Yuqi's eyes were cold when he heard it, and his fists were already clenched. Sun Dafu looked at it, but still didn't care, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Prince Xiao is angry and thinks that the miscellaneous family is snubbing you?" Hehe, it's obvious that Prince Xiao doesn't want it himself, how can I blame it......"

I didn't want to see Sun Dafu's face, and even guessed that there must be some reason why Dongwan sent these things, Xiao Yu held back his emotions and said lightly: "This palace didn't blame Mr. Sun, it was just a moment of fascination just now, so I didn't pay attention." Mr. Sun has worked hard, thank you for running all the way and sending things to the palace, thank you. ”

"Where, where! How can the miscellaneous family be worthy of Prince Xiao's thanks. ”

Sun Dafu was satisfied, and waved his hand to let the waiter put down the things: "Don't put the things down yet, let Prince Xiao count them slowly." Do you hear that, count and put it, don't damage Prince Xiao's things, it was sent all the way by His Majesty Dongwan, hahahaha......"

The laughter was piercing and arrogant, which made Xiao Yuqi's brows furrow.

But he kept his emotions restrained until Sun Dafu and his party left, and then he calmed down. With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Yuqi looked at the pile of things left on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Wu." ”

In the hall where there was no one, a figure flashed in the shadows, and a person came out, which was really Xiao Yuqi's intimate words.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yan Wu also looked at the things on the table and said movingly: "These are Your Majesty...... His Majesty sent someone to bring it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! There must be something, and his subordinates will help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find it. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yuqi did not object, Yan Wu immediately tossed these things.

All kinds of gorgeous clothes, accessories, etc., Yan Wu didn't care at all, and he didn't care if he got it to the ground between flipping. There are also a few exercise cheats, and he also rummaged through them one by one, and there are no mezzanines, no entrained stationery, etc.

The gold and silver in the box were even more useless, and the medicines and ginseng were also thrown aside at will, and Yan Wu became more and more careful, and almost everything was turned over, and he didn't find it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no." said five words, and his expression was very helpless.

His heart sank, Xiao Yuqi's pupils were dark, and he swept over the mess that had been turned over one by one, and his face became more and more ugly.

How could it not be?

Father sent someone to send him something, there must be some instructions, if it weren't for the fear that the Western Chu side would find out, he wouldn't have used such an obscure way. must be hiding somewhere in order to escape Xi Chu's inspection, so that he didn't find out.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yuqi simply did it directly.

Every item was disassembled, destroyed, and checked one by one for entrainment, and in the blink of an eye, these expensive and delicate clothes and accessories were messed up, torn and tattered. The jade pendant worth 10,000 gold was directly smashed open for inspection, but there was still nothing, and Xiao Yuqi almost gave up.

At that moment, his eyes fell on a box of colorful pastries.

This is red bean crisp, the most common specialty of Dongwan country, the taste is sweet but not greasy, the entrance is slag, the appearance is also various, the color is beautiful, it is the common people of Dongwan looking for relatives and friends, the most favorite and most often eat a dessert.

It's just that......

Why did Emperor Dongwan bring him red bean crisp? I know he hates sweets the most!

As soon as his eyes moved, Xiao Yuqi immediately picked up a red bean cake and broke it open-no! There was only soft and glutinous red bean paste in the red bean crisp, and he didn't see the note he wanted, or wax pills, etc.

But Xiao Yuqi did not give up, and continued to break the remaining red bean cakes one by one.

Sure enough, when he got the fourth, his eyes lit up, and a white wax pill was wrapped in red bean paste. Xiao Yuqi quickly took out the wax pill, pinched it open, and saw that a note was hidden in it, which was the advice given to him by Emperor Dongwan.

At this moment, Yan Wu also spoke up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates have discovered this." ”

Xiao Yuqi turned his head to look, and saw that Yan Wu was also holding a wax pill in his hand, which had just been taken out of a red bean cake. There are two of them, are they ......

Quickly unfolded the note and looked at it, Xiao Yuqi understood what Emperor Dongwan meant.

"Divine Power Pill!"

Yan Wu looked at the pill in his hand, the wax pill was peeled off, there was a special pattern on it, and the color that was as red as fire, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to prepare such a thing, His Royal Highness the Prince, great, if you take this pill during the martial arts, Nalan Ye will definitely not be your opponent!" ”

Taking the pill, Xiao Yuqi's face was solemn.

Divine Pill, this is what he had seen in the royal classics, a miraculous drug. It is made of a variety of tonic drugs, which can stimulate the strength in the body in a short period of time and enhance internal strength, but after taking it, it will cause a lot of damage to the body. If it is not a special case, the average person will not take it.

But now, the father sent someone to refine the Divine Power Pill and sent it to him...... Obviously, he can't do it without eating.

Could it be that he has been reduced to the point of taking drugs and cheating in order to win the martial arts? He Xiao Yuqi, the dignified prince of Dongwan Kingdom, the pride of the sky, actually cheated in order to win one day?

To eat, or not to eat?

Looking at the pill in his hand, Xiao Yuqi was very embarrassed.

At this time, Yan Wu suddenly said: "Prince, there is something that his subordinates have made their own opinions, and they have not told His Royal Highness the Prince. In fact, the king of Chu ...... He has no internal strength, and his skills are gone. ”

Xiao Yuqi listened: "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Wu immediately told him what he had asked Concubine Yao's father and daughter to do, as well as the result of sending people to the Chu Palace's mansion to inquire. Xiao Yuqi was angry at first, then calmed down and sighed.

Even if Yan Wu didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to stop his father's intentions, and it seemed that he had no choice for Dongwan's future. Something that must be done!

……

September 12, the capital of Western Chu.

This day is very different for people in the world.

All the people in Western Chu, from the emperor's relatives and relatives, princes and princesses, to ordinary people, squires and merchants, are all looking forward to this gamble. No one thought that Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, would lose, in their hearts, Nalan Ye is a god-like figure, winning all battles, and with him on the horse, he will definitely win.

Even if Dongwan forcibly added a second medical gamble, but with the appearance of Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, it would definitely be a good one, and the medical skills would crush everything.

Once Xichu leads to this big gamble, the significance is far-reaching, the impact is huge, and it is what everyone desires!

On Dongwan's side, because the location of the competition was set in the capital of Western Chu, except for a very small number of officials and royal families who came with the mission, ordinary people could only stay in Dongwan and wait for the results. The entire Dongwan capital fell into speculation and apprehension, and they were all secretly praying, hoping that the crown prince Xiao Yuqi would be able to defeat Nalan Ye, and that the imperial doctors sent out would be triumphant.

As for the Southern Wei Dynasty, they have different thoughts, wishing that Dongwan and Xichu would fight to the death, it is best to lose both, then they will go to two henchmen!
