Chapter 243: It will only make Dong Qin lose face
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "Okay, it's a good start. It seems that Prince Feng trusts you very much, Wei'er!"
Bai Wei clasped her hands together and saluted Ouyang Ming and Feng Lin respectively: "Thank you for the trust of the emperor and Prince Feng. I dare not say anything else, but this lot is in Bai Wei's hands, the main point is God's will!"
The meaning of passing the buck is very clear.
No matter what he draws, whether he wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me, Bai Wei. It's all God's will!
How could Ouyang Ming not understand what she meant? "You are smart. You are afraid that others will blame you."
After saying that, he waved to Eunuch Gui who was not far away: "Alright, alright, little Guizi, go and give her the lottery box and let her shake it. Just like she said, everything depends on God's will."
Eunuch Gui brought the lottery box over again. Bai Wei had no reason to refuse, so she just held it and shook it.
This time, the force was a little stronger, and after two shakes, a stick came out with the words "Power" written on it.
After Bai Lian knew what the second sign was, his mentality collapsed again.
Really, everything is different.
So, were all her preparations over the years meaningless?
Bai Wei knew that the signature must have been written by Ouyang Ming almost the moment it was signed.
Seven months ago, a performer came to the capital. He was as strong as an ox and could lift a bronze tripod with his arms clasped together.
After the incident spread, the emperor had him brought into the palace to perform a lifting performance. She was also there at the time, and the tripod was estimated to weigh at least 400 kilograms, which shows how strong he was.
Later, this man was kept in the palace by Ouyang Ming and given the identity of the commander of the Imperial Guards, but most of the time, he was just performing the act of lifting a tripod.
Ouyang Ming saw that the lot he drew was exactly what he wanted, and immediately smiled: "Who does Prince Feng want to fight this time?"
Feng Lin looked behind him casually and said to the person behind him casually: "Yu Jin, come here."
After the words fell, a tall and beautiful woman came out: "Yes, Your Highness."
This action caused everyone present to be amazed.
No, did they hear it wrong, or did Feng Lin hear it wrong? Why would they choose such a weak-looking woman to participate in the strength contest? What on earth is Feng Lin doing?
Seeing this, Ouyang Ming frowned unconsciously: "Prince Feng, did you hear the question wrong? This competition is about strength!"
Feng Lin smiled charmingly and elegantly. Yu Jin stepped forward and poured Feng Lin a glass of wine. Feng Lin picked up the glass and drank it all before saying, "Feng Lin did not hear wrongly, and the Emperor of Dong Qin did not hear wrongly either. Feng Lin is indeed sending Yu Jin to fight this time."
Ouyang Ming's brows furrowed even deeper.
He guessed that Feng Lin must not have brought anyone strong with him, so he chose such a little girl to come on stage to deliberately annoy him.
Feng Lin looked at the contempt in Ouyang Ming's eyes and said calmly, "Emperor Dong Qin, please don't underestimate Yu Jin. She is very strong. Even this prince cannot compare to her."
Ouyang Ming heard Feng Lin say this and said no more: "Okay, as long as Prince Feng is sure that he has not chosen the wrong person!"
Anyway, he chose the person himself, and losing the competition was also his own choice. He seemed to have seen the two cities waving at him.
He looked at Eunuch Gui and said, "Send Fang Wu here!"
Eunuch Gui nodded, turned around and left.
Soon, everyone heard a heavy sound of footsteps, and along with the footsteps, they could even feel the fallen leaves and flower petals on the ground trembling with the sound.
"W-what's going on?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"Of course not, this is Fang Wu coming!"
"Who is Fang Wu?"
"Haven't you seen Fang Wuju's millstone and mortar in the streets before? He is an absolute strongman, and now he serves the emperor."
"Oh, then we are sure to win this round."
"Of course. Didn't you see that Prince Feng knew he was going to lose, so he just let a little girl come to compete, and the main goal was to admit defeat."
"Honestly, even if he wanted to take a gamble, he couldn't win!"
"..."
As he was speaking, a burly man walked over.
The man was very tall and strong. When he reached the round stone gate at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, he was stopped outside. In the end, he lowered his head and leaned sideways before entering.
"The commander of the Imperial Guard, Fang Wu, is willing to bring glory to Dong Qin!"
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Feng Lin: "Prince Feng, have you really thought about letting that girl fight? In fact, you can also send a few more people to fight, just like in the last round, in the end only the best will be selected."
He said this not because he felt it was unfair to Fenglin, but he just wanted to make it clear in advance so that Fenglin would not regret it later.
Feng Lin smiled and said, "The jade brocade is enough. Of course... it's the same as before. If anyone from Dong Qin wants to fight, they can come forward and give it a try."
These words were met with laughter.
"Is this Prince Feng an idiot? He actually said that this girl is stronger than Fang Wu! How can he be so shameless as to lie with his eyes open?"
"No, didn't he say that? Yu Jin is stronger than him, so he found Miss Yu Jin. Look at Miss Yu Jin, she has a graceful figure and beautiful face. You can imagine where this so-called strength contest took place. Was it on the bed?"
"It's very likely. After all, this Prince Feng looks very slender at first glance."
"Isn't it? With his looks, if he were in Nanfeng Pavilion, he would definitely be an otaku!"
"..."
When Xiao Minglou heard this, he immediately became angry: "Who are you all? With these disgusting things in your heads, how can you still pretend to have ideals and ambitions? How did Dongqin produce such shameful things like you? If you have the guts to say these words in front of Fenglin and the emperor, I guarantee that you will not survive for an hour."
Although he hated Feng Lin, he knew that Feng Lin was not what these boring people said.
These people had made up stories about Wei'er before, and now they were talking about Fenglin. He had not tolerated it before, and he did not want to tolerate it now. Allowing them to continue to say these nonsense would only bring shame to Dongqin.
But why did Feng Lin do this? He didn't look like someone who would give up easily. What was wrong with him?
After Xiao Minglou roared, those who told dirty jokes suddenly dared not speak.
The Xiao family's status and position in Dongqin naturally need not be mentioned. What's more important is... the eldest and third sons of the Xiao family are gentlemen, but Xiao Minglou is not. Don't mess with him!
Ouyang Ming had reminded Feng Lin of what he needed to remind. Since Feng Lin was unwilling to make a substitution, it was no wonder he did not want to blame him. “Let the game begin!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone moved many bronze tripods here.
There are five of each kind, all of the same make, differing only in size, and arranged in order from smallest to largest.
The largest one was carried by eight people.
The wooden poles that carried the bronze tripod were bent by the weight, as if they would break at any time.
When Fang Wu learned that his opponent was a woman, his eyes were full of disdain. He went straight to the stage, picked up the smallest bronze tripod with one hand, looked at Yu Jin with disdain, and had a proud look on his face.
Then, he put the tripod down and motioned Yu Jin to lift it: "Miss, be careful, don't hurt your waist."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Fang."
Yu Jin smiled at Fang Wu, and then calmly came to the heaviest tripod. He put his hands together, held the two sides of the bronze tripod, and without any difficulty on his face, he directly lifted up the huge tripod that had taken eight people to lift just now.
