Chapter 266: Winning the Championship



Chapter 266: Winning the Championship

The final showdown was between Qin Bingrui, Yan Xuan and Kong Xue to compete for the championship.

Not surprisingly, Qin Bingrui never shows any mercy to anyone, whether it is towards men or women, or between people at home or abroad.

Finally won the championship.

The cheers of the "Flying Tigers" rang out one after another. They finally believed that they had followed the right leader and that the "Flying Tigers" would become famous in no time.

Yan Xuan stood in front of Xia Liang with his head down, and said dejectedly: "Baby, I didn't get the first place."

"It's okay. It's not shameful for you to lose to Miss Qin."

Yan Xuan thought about it and realized that both Young Master Murong and Prince Ning lost to Miss Qin, so what happened to him was nothing.

Xia Liang touched his chin and said, "However, I think Master Murong and His Royal Highness Prince Ning are superior to Miss Qin. As for you, you are still a little short of the mark."

Yan Xuan: I wanted to seek comfort, but I got hit even harder.

Young Master Murong stood beside Luo Yu with a smile on his face.

Mei Zhengyan pulled Bai Lingyi's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Xiaoyi, does Master Murong really want to be our brother-in-law?"

Bai Lingyi stared at Master Murong so closely that Murong felt a chill on his back.

When he turned around, he saw Bai Lingyi looking somewhere else, and he couldn't help but smile.

Luo Yu followed him and looked back, asking him, "What are you looking at?"

Murong Wenhe smiled and said, "You have so many brothers and sisters, so the pressure will probably be quite great in the future."

"Isn't it the same for you? Born in a big family, you should have quite a few brothers and sisters."

"But they don't need me to raise them myself." Murong finished speaking, and then added, "However, I also really like living with my younger brothers and sisters. It feels like home."

Qin Bingrui stuffed the medal he had won into Luo Yu's hands and grinned: "Master Murong, thank you for giving me the medal. We will set off tomorrow. There is a long way to go. When you pass the imperial examination, that will be the day we meet again."

Young Master Murong was surprised and asked, "Leaving so early?"

"If I don't leave now, the eunuch next to the emperor will take my sister back to the imperial city."

Young Master Murong's eyes darkened.

The group set off back to the villa.

Qin Bingrui flipped through the title deed transferred to her, his eyes narrowed into slits. The house was good, but it would be a shame not to live in it. He would go back and ask all the members of the "Flying Tigers" later. If anyone was willing to stay, he could ask Master Murong to help get a household registration so that they could live here.

Young Master Murong escorted them back to the villa, and no one spoke along the way.

Perhaps because we knew we would be separated tomorrow and didn't know when we would meet again, no one was in a good mood.

Zhu Jinyou was in a particularly good mood.

Song Si couldn't help but say, "Master, although you didn't win the first place this time, you seem to be in a good mood."

"The closer they get to Qianzhou, the closer they are to the day when I will know the secret."

"Master, if we find their master, will you really capture them and take them back to the Imperial City?"

"Of course, if I continue to be partial, do you think my brother will forgive me?"

Song Si shook his head. He only knew that he was a thorn in the emperor's side.

The Queen Mother loved her youngest son the most, but the more she loved him, the more wary the Emperor became. The Queen Mother's family was extremely powerful, even rivaling the Northern Qiao and Southern Murong families. The Emperor's smooth succession to the throne was due to the support of the Queen Mother's family.

However, unexpectedly, the current emperor has been secretly suppressing the empress dowager's family power.

***

At noon the next day, Qin Bingrui gathered the members of the "Flying Tigers" and briefly told them his ideas.

The Flying Tigers originally thought that they were being told the good news that Qin Daxia had won the championship and that they would immediately become famous. But in the end, Qin Daxia told them that those who wanted to stay could stay. What was the logic behind this?

Old Jin cried out, "I, Old Jin, have been trying to pass the imperial examinations for years but never succeeded. I lost my father in my youth, and in my middle age, my family suffered a disaster and my wife died. But now my son has hope. I will not let him ruin his future. I am still strong in my old age, and I would rather change my mind even when I am old!"

Others: I don’t know what Lao Jin is talking about.

Wei Wu didn't understand either, but he had made great progress recently, and he expressed his determination: "I am willing to follow the hero Qin! I will never regret it!"

The others all shouted, "Me too, me too!"

Qin Bingrui was deeply moved and stuffed the house deed into his chest: "Old Jin, from now on, as long as I have a bite of food, you will definitely not be short of food. If you follow me, I will definitely lead everyone to the republic!"

Luo Yu: Going crazy again!

Murong stood to one side and silently said, "Republic?"

Yan Xuan also found this strange and asked Xia Liang, "What does Miss Qin mean by republic?"

Xia Liang rolled his eyes and said, "It means we share the good times and the bad times together!"

Yan Xuan nodded. He wanted to join them. It was so exciting and passionate!

Just as they were about to set off, Master Murong called Luo Yu and handed her a sword.

"Miss Bai, I don't have anything to give you, so I'll give you this sword. Please use it to protect yourself and your family along the way."

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment.

Looking up at Master Murong, the light in his eyes was dazzling, pure and sincere.

"Master Murong, isn't this sword too valuable?"

Murong was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "It does look a bit like my sword, because I had it specially made. Don't worry too much, young lady."

Luo Yu became even more nervous. Should he take it or not?

Do the gifts given by men to women in ancient times have special meanings?

If I answered the call, would it cause him to misunderstand? If I didn't answer the call, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

The ways of the world are really too tricky.

Qin Bingrui snatched the sword from Murong's hand without saying a word. The sword was unsheathed. The sword body was as thin as a cicada's wing, flashing with cold light. A gorgeous sapphire was inlaid on the hilt, showing its nobility and splendor.

"Sister, this sword is great. It will definitely be good for you to practice swordsmanship!"

Luo Yu blinked: Don’t you know to ask if there is any other meaning?

Qin Bingrui seemed to understand immediately and asked Master Murong: "Master Murong, this is not a token of love, right? My sister is afraid of pressure."

Murong smiled gently: "Of course not. I gave this sword to you because since I met Miss Bai, I have gained a very good friend!"

"That's good!"

Qin Bingrui put the sword in Luo Hong's hand.

"Sister, we'll accept it. After all, we've taken care of Master Murong for so long, it's only right that he thanks you."

He turned around and walked over to Murong's ear and whispered, "If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid I really won't be able to help you later. One last time, brother-in-law!"

Murong smiled lightly, as if returning to the previous days.

Li Feng: "Taking care of my manor master? Why does that sound weird? The young master used to be so cool and manly, how come he's become so unpleasant now? Alas, emotions can play tricks on people."

Luo Yu gently stroked the scabbard, looked up at Master Murong and smiled softly: "Thank you, Master Murong, you have helped me a lot, I have no way to repay you, I will definitely thank you in the future!"

"Miss Bai, you're welcome."

Murong's eyes darkened, and she really began to behave properly with him, no longer the cunning woman who teased him at every turn.

She must have known his identity.

If he didn't have this identity, could he continue to stay with her as a scholar?

No one knows, and Master Murong doesn't want to know anymore.

……

Only after watching their team gradually go away did Master Murong prepare to set off back to Murong Mansion.
