Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 846 - 16: The Regent King Has No Way Back

Li Xingsheng was resting and preparing when someone came looking for him.

"Mr. Sheng." A person dressed as a eunuch walked over to Li Xingsheng with a smile.

Li Xingsheng pretended to be very respectful and fearful, immediately saluting, "What orders does the master have?"

The eunuch looked around, then pulled Li Xingsheng to a secluded place, whispering, "I am with the Regent King. The Prince says you must win this competition."

Li Xingsheng smiled slightly, "Of course I want to win. Becoming the Great General is a matter of honor for my ancestors."

The eunuch’s face suddenly darkened, "If you win, the Regent King has a reward. If you lose..."

Li Xingsheng pretended to be very excited, his eyes brightening, "How much is the reward?"

"A thousand taels of silver."

Li Xingsheng immediately said happily, "Do I get the silver now?"

"You have to win first. If you lose, the Prince won’t let you off!" the eunuch warned in a low voice.

Li Xingsheng sneered inwardly, such big talk, do you want to die?

"Master, I understand."

"Go, perform well." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The eunuch left arrogantly.

Li Xingsheng returned to the tournament stage, and Lou Chengye immediately came over to him, "Second Brother, what did that person come to say to you just now?"

"He’s with the Regent King. Warned me that I must win. If I win, there’s a reward, if I lose, I’m in trouble. Ha—" Li Xingsheng mocked.

Lou Chengye blinked, "Second Brother, do you plan to win or lose?"

"Of course, to lose. How can I win against your Second Sister-in-law?" Li Xingsheng knocked on Lou Chengye’s head.

"But won’t the Regent King cause you trouble?" Lou Chengye worried for Li Xingsheng.

"Look at how we’re dressed. Are you sure he can find us?" Li Xingsheng tapped Lou Chengye’s face.

Lou Chengye suddenly realized, "Haha, how did I forget that?"

After a quarter-hour intermission, Ling Yuezi and Li Xingsheng took the stage.

Ling Yuezi couldn’t help but chuckle at the completely changed demeanor of Li Xingsheng.

The person standing in front of her was no longer the handsome and spirited young man, but clearly a farmer uncle from the village.

In addition to sticking a small mustache on his face, he covered all his exposed skin with black.

His eyes were also drawn to look like inverted triangle single eyelids.

To match the rustic style, he deliberately spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

After getting on the stage, he went even further, giggling and mimicking a rough man’s voice, saying, "I will take care of the Princess, don’t worry."

Remembering how ruthless he was in bed, yet saying such shameless words as "I’ll take care of you," Ling Yuezi wanted to beat him up!

"I will also go easy on you, warrior!" Ling Yuezi said without emotion.

They each made a gesture of invitation, and the match began.

Like the others, they competed in fixed-point archery, mounted archery, staff skills, and a battle formation demonstration using wooden puppets.

In these four categories, Ling Yuezi and Li Xingsheng each won two matches.

The final match was wrestling, whoever won would be the victor.

"Please, Princess."

"Please, Mr. Sheng."

They exchanged bows, and the match began.

Li Xingsheng rolled up his sleeves, shouted loudly, and charged at Ling Yuezi.

In a swift move, Ling Yuezi was thrown to the ground.

Ling Yuezi froze in surprise at his fast moves.

"Thanks for letting me win, Princess!" Li Xingsheng pretended to be very proud.

Ling Yuezi gently smiled, hooked his leg, and flipped Li Xingsheng onto the ground, holding his arm with one hand and kneeling on his back, "Let’s see how you counter this!" She wondered if this move would work in bed.

Li Xingsheng smiled, "Princess is really impressive."

They went back and forth, but most of the time, it was Li Xingsheng losing.

Out of ten rounds, Li Xingsheng won three matches, Ling Yuezi won seven.

In the end, Li Xingsheng lost, and Ling Yuezi won.

The Deputy loudly announced the results of the match, "Today’s competition, Princess Yue wins!"

Supporters of the Princess cheered loudly.

Those who had bet on Li Xingsheng cursed.

Li Xingsheng walked off the stage "dejectedly."

Lou Chengye patted his shoulder, "Second Brother, you tried your best."

"Forget it, we’re just not cut out to be Great Generals. Let’s go back to hunting in the mountains." Li Xingsheng waved his hand in frustration.

In the stands, the Regent King was extremely furious.

He gave a glance to the person beside him and made a gesture with his eyes.

The eunuch understood immediately and took a team of people to quietly pursue Li Xingsheng.

As for Li Xingsheng, he had already pulled Lou Chengye into the crowd, they were nowhere to be seen.

They reached the gate of the training ground, mounted their horses, and quickly rode to the city.

Those pursuing split up to search the training ground while sending others to block the gate.
