I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1072 - Chapter 1072 Competition (2)

Chapter 1072: Competition (2) Chapter 1072: Competition (2) Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Xiuyuan looked at Mu Yangling.

“You think so too?” Qi Xiuyuan hoped that Mu Yangling would say no.

After all, a mother usually couldn’t bear to see her son suffer.

Mu Yangling fell into deep thought.

There was no need to consider Little Bear’s cultural knowledgeaEUR”he was only considered at the junior high school level in this aspect now.

On the other hand, in terms of military attainments, he was equivalent to a university graduate.

As a general, martial arts was necessary, but it did not have very high requirements.

In war, horsemanship was more important.

Little Bear had been learning from military books since he was seven years old, and Qi Haoran had taught him the theory and brought him to practice.

From time to time, he would bring him to the army to train and lead troops.

It could be said that although he was only 12 years old, in terms of military capabilities, he was not inferior to those veterans or lieutenants in their twenties.

This was the advantage of a powerful background and abundant resources.

Little Bear had long determined that he would inherit Qi Haoran’s position in the army in the future.

In that case, there was not much use for him to stay in the capital.

Although it was dangerous to follow them to the front line, it was more beneficial to his career development.

As for the danger, it was even more dangerous to let the child go to the battlefield alone.

This time, with her and Qi Haoran watching, the danger was actually reduced.

There was really no better opportunity than this.

Mu Yangling nodded and said, “If Little Bear can get into the top three of the teen category this time, then let him go.” So instead of becoming the champion, he now only needed to get into the top three?

Qi Xiuyuan’s eyes darkened.

“You two sure are assured.” Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “If not for that plan of yours, I would have sent Little Treasure to the battlefield too.” As the Crown Prince, how could he not witness war?

Qi Xiuyuan immediately fell silent.

Because he was thinking about leading the troops personally, as the Crown Prince, Little Treasure had to stay in the capital to calm the hearts of the people.

If Little Treasure also went to the battlefield with him and something happened, the world would really be in chaos.

Even if nothing happened, if the Emperor and the Crown Prince were put in danger at the same time, the country would be gripped by fear.

The matter was thus settled.

Qi Xiuyuan called Little Bear and the pitiful Minister of War’s eldest grandson up and conveyed their opinion.

If Little Bear could enter the top three in the teen category, he would agree to let him enter the army.

Also, the Minister of War’s eldest grandson would advance to the next round.

Little Bear asked happily, “Royal Uncle, will I be able to go to the front line with Father King next year after joining the army?” Qi Xiuyuan said meaningfully, “We’ll talk about that later.

You will only be allowed to join the army if you prove that you have the ability.” Even if everyone had reached a consensus that they would start a war next year, they could not say this out loud to prevent Great Jin from making preparations in advance.

Qi Haoran gave his silly son a look, indicating for him to shut up.

Little Bear didn’t see it.

He waved goodbye to Little Treasure excitedly and asked him to continue cheering.

Then, he got someone to fetch him a big bow before jumping onto his horse and riding into the forest to catch up to the others.

Since he was entering more than an hour later than those people, he could not delay any longer.

When the ministers saw this, they couldn’t help but feel that it was unfair to Prince Rong.

Firstly, he was still young, and secondly, he joined the competition later than his opponents.

However, some people felt that a tiger father would not have a dog son.

Perhaps in spite of all those disadvantages, Prince Rong’s son would still win?

At this moment, the aggrieved eldest grandson of the Minister of War had also returned to the arena.

Because he was previously suppressed by Little Bear, he was all fired up.

In the subsequent competitions, his performance was almost explosive, leading him to win the wrestling championship of this category.

When Little Treasure entered the top four, he lost and stopped advancing beyond the third round.

Although the eldest grandson of the Minister of War won the championship, because Little Bear had defeated him previously, everyone felt that Little Bear was the champion, so Little Bear could be considered the uncrowned champion.

After that was horse racing, archery, and riding.

These were Little Bear’s favorites.

Since he often hung out with Little Bear, Little Treasure’s horsemanship was not bad either.

In addition, as a general, Qi Xiuyuan paid special attention to the princes’ riding and shooting abilities.

Hence, Little Treasure entered the top three in all three competitions.

Everyone agreed that the competition was fair.

After all, everyone had seen it for themselves.

If there were still contestants who were afraid of hurting the Crown Prince in the first wrestling competition, no one would give in to them in the subsequent three competitions.

Everyone had done their best.

The 14-year-old eldest grandson of the Minister of War went on to win the other two competitions as well, putting him in the limelight.

The ministers were still considered calm when watching the youth group competition and were modestly congratulating the parents of the kids who had obtained a good ranking.

But when it came to the children’s category, the ministers’ expressions were unanimously dark!

This was because the top four spots were all taken over by the young masters of the royal family and the Duke of Peaceful State.

What was worse was that these four children were not humble at all; their smug expressions made the well-mannered civil officials want to beat them up.

They felt that the gentle Emperor and the elegant Duke of Peaceful State would definitely not have raised their children to turn out like this.

Hence, they shot daggers at Qi Haoran.

Meanwhile, Qi Haoran was feeling proud of the children’s performance.

His chest was very straight, and the smug expression on his face made others want to punch him in the face.

Then, they looked at their young sons or grandsons with disappointment.

Couldn’t they have worked harder?

Even if they were no match for Prince Rong’s two sons, surely they could win the Duke’s Residence’s son?

At the very least, they should be able to beat the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was the youngest among them, but even he was ranked third and fourth in two different competitions.

That was simply humiliating to the ten-year-old children.

The children lowered their heads under the gaze of their fathers or grandfathers and glared at the four little ones.

Tiger Head and Little Lion smiled and looked at their parents for praise.

Even Mu Yangling, who was still mad at them, couldn’t help but beam proudly.

Tiger Head was crowned champion in wrestling and horse racing, while Little Lion came out top in archery and riding.

This was not surprising.

The two children’s military attainments were very high, and the duo was on par in these areas.

In fact, they were almost even in archery.

The reason why Tiger Head won the runner-up was that he had shot an arrow at the intersection of the ninth and tenth rings.

Even if it was more towards the tenth ring, he was still judged as the runner-up when Little Lion hit all the ten rings.

The surrounding ministers couldn’t help but exclaim at the powerful genetics at play here, seeing as Prince Rong’s three sons were so impressive in martial arts.

The fourth one didn’t seem too bad either.

In time, Great Qi would have four more valiant generals.

As long as no internal strife occurred in the royal family, the few Young Masters could ensure peace at the border of Great Qi for at least the next 50 years.

Moreover, the Second Prince was also highly impressive.

Everyone glanced at the Crown Prince vaguely and saw that his eyes were smiling and filled with joy.

It was obvious that he was genuinely happy for the Second Prince.

The few ministers who had experienced the struggle for the throne of the previous dynasty looked at each other.

It could be said that the harmonious relationship between the royal brothers of the current dynasty was unprecedented.

They only hoped that this situation could continue, so that Great Qi could enjoy prosperity.

Fan Zijin was also very happy.

He turned around and thanked Mu Yangling sincerely.

“Thank you.” Little Madam Xia also grabbed Mu Yangling’s hand excitedly.

She had never thought that her son could also have such a high attainment in martial arts.

Little An never made people worry in academics, but his martial arts talent was really not outstanding compared to the children of the Qi family.

Moreover, his body had always been weaker than Tiger Head and the others, so Fan Zijin and Little Madam Xia had very low expectations for him in terms of martial arts.

Hence, the couple was even happier about Little An getting two third places and two fourth places, than Qi Haoran when he found out that Tiger Head and Little Lion had gotten first place.

Fan Zijin and Little Madam Xia unanimously believed that Mu Yangling had contributed to this.

After all, she had always been the one teaching the children.
