After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 5 The Word of Mouth of the King of Chu

Duan Huanian, Minister of Rites, sneered:
"King Chu, you said that Admiral Chang can't lead an army well, but can you lead well? At least Admiral Chang's riding and shooting and martial arts are much higher than yours, and he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, can you?"

Ning Youbei is not afraid of Duan Huanian.

"Even if I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, I won't lead the army down. As a prince, it's not impossible for me to give advice and cheer in the rear, right? Why do I have to go into battle to kill the enemy?

But Chang Weijun is different, so what if he can fight the enemy?Could it be possible that he alone can reach a hundred thousand troops?
If the army is handed over to him, he will bring down hundreds of thousands of troops. "

"You...you...you are making unreasonable words."

Duan Huanian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was so angry with Ning Youbei's crooked reasoning that he didn't know how to refute it.

If Qu Chu was here, he would definitely praise him: "The king of Chu is really good at talking!"

The king of Chu, who is very talkative, did not let go of the ministers in the court, and he was still talking freely.

"In order to prevent you from saying that Brother Huang is unfair, I will give Chang Weijun a chance.

He can draw 100 people from the city defense army to compete with the troops brought back by General Qu to compete in riding, shooting and tactics. If the city defense army wins, I will give him the position of the general.

So, it's fair, right? "

Officials: "..."

Duan Huanian decided not to talk nonsense with the King of Chu, he turned sideways and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please carefully consider this humble minister's proposal."

The emperor said lightly:

"I think King Chu's proposal is very good, so I asked Admiral Chang to select 100 people from the city defense army to compete with the army brought back by General Qu. I personally set up the questions as judges.

If the city defense army wins, I promise Admiral Chang to be the general. "

Prime Minister Fang stood aside: "I think Your Majesty's proposal is very good."

Everyone knows the quality of the city defense army.

The emperor and the king of Chu wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the city defense army, so that Duke Wei's arrogance would not be so high.But Prime Minister Fang saw that his side had no hope of taking over the position of General, nor did he want his opponent Wei Guogong to take over.

With Prime Minister Fang's agreement, Chang Weijun was set on fire, and he couldn't do without roasting.

The test date is set for three days later.

……

The place where the city defense army and Qu Chu army competed was set at the outskirts of the city, and the emperor specially graciously: the suburbs are open to the common people on this day.

I don't know who spread the news. The people who came to watch this day can be described as a huge crowd, which is comparable to the grand occasion when Qu Chu led the army back in triumph.

……

The emperor sat on the high platform, and the king of Chu, the Duke of Wei, the prime minister and other important officials sat beside him.

Today's competition is naturally indispensable to Qu Chu, and her case is almost connected with the case of King Chu.

This is the first time that Qu Chu's woman appeared in public before the officials after her identity was exposed.However, Qu Chu's dress is no different from before.Still masculine attire: updos, gowns, wide-brimmed waistbands, boots.

Sitting with the king of Chu who has a face like a crown of jade, Qu Chu looks more like a man.

The ministers glanced at Qu Chu from time to time.

No matter how you look at it, General Qu doesn't look like a woman. His chest is flat and his hips are not warped.

The shoulders are not very broad, but they are not narrow either.And he was tall, about the height of an ordinary man.

Also, these facial features, this manner...everywhere, he looks like a man.

Could it be a mistake?
Is General Qu a man?
……

Qu Chu looked indifferent, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine.

But before she could drink it, a hand reached out and snatched her glass away.

"Alcohol hurts your body, drink less."

Qu Chu raised his head and glanced at Ning Youbei, ignored him, picked up the flagon and poured another glass of wine.

Ning Youbei had no choice but to say: "Since you want to drink, I will accompany you. You have a drink and I will follow you."

Qu Chu still ignored him.

Ning Youbei had the cheek to pour himself a full bottle of wine.

The two of them sat on the high platform and communicated as if no one was there, but they didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at them.

In addition to the ordinary people who came to see the excitement today, naturally, the young masters and ladies of the rich and powerful families are also indispensable.

King Ning Youbei of Chu is not only good-looking, but also has a first-class demeanor, and usually has a good reputation.Good temperament, polite, not flirtatious, not taking concubines...all of these are advantages, and she is the person most undecided ladies in Yudu hate to marry.

If you want to pick a shortcoming, it is that you have never heard of him being talented.Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery, martial arts... It seems that none of them are famous.

Of course, these are the opinions of those who don't know him.People who know him well will scoff at the above evaluations.

For example, Prime Minister Fang: The King of Chu is very polite, maybe it’s not a joke, right?You haven't seen him looking condescending in the court!

For example, Su Ziyi, a good friend of the King of Chu: Who said that the King of Chu doesn’t understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?Even the chess master can't beat him!
For example, the emperor: Although Wang Di's martial arts are mediocre, he is still very good at riding and shooting. He is just hiding it!
For example, XX: King Chu’s martial arts are first-class, and there are few people in the world who can beat him!
……

At this time, most of the women's eyes were on where King Chu and Qu Chu were.

What a good man Chu Wang is!Why did you marry General Qu, who is neither male nor female?
Qu Chu used to be a god-like existence in the hearts of women in Yudu, but since the news spread that she was a woman and was going to marry King Chu as his concubine, women in Yudu had complicated perceptions of her.

Of course, there are people who admire her even more!

"Brother, look, the person sitting on the high platform is General Qu. I didn't expect that she is a woman like me. I admire her so much!"

The speaker was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a round face, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a pair of dimples.It makes people feel good at a glance.

"Feng Jiao, be careful."

The man who spoke was in his 20s, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he exuded a heroic spirit all over his body.

"Brother, you and the King of Chu are friends, can you let the King of Chu introduce me to General Qu?"

The man doted on this little girl very much and couldn't bear to refuse her request.

"Now they are preparing for their marriage. It is not very convenient. I will take you to see General Qu when they get married."

"That's a good deal, then you are not allowed to go back on your word."

The man smiled dotingly: "When did I fail to do what I promised you?"

……

There was another person in the crowd staring at King Chu intently.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

She was dressed like a person in the Jianghu, with fluttering white clothes, a sword on her waist, and a white hexagonal snowflake pattern engraved on the hilt.

If you are a person in the Jianghu, you can tell at a glance that this sword is the symbol of the No. 1 school in the Jianghu, the decent Lingxiao Pavilion.

This person is Dongfang Ying, the daughter of the owner of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Not long ago, after she was rescued by King Chu, she fell in love with him.Unexpectedly, she went to the Prince of Chu's mansion several times to ask to see her, but she was always stopped by the porter.
