Chapter 954 The appearance of the eldest prince, the color of despair!
Time flew by quickly. On the last day before the war, Cheng Qianmo did nothing but lay in the nursing home for the whole day.
Since time traveling, his daily schedule has been almost fully booked, with little time for real rest.
So on the last day, he chose to enter the state of "Ge You Lie".
After all, with his strength, it would be very difficult to even participate in a normal competition of talents. He must be weakened in all aspects to avoid exposing his weaknesses.
If we prepare for war seriously, others will not have to play at all and can surrender directly.
So he relaxed for the day with peace of mind.
After a night of silence, Cheng Qianmo had a rare and peaceful sleep.
And early the next morning, a middle-aged man walked into his room with steady steps.
The person who came to wake up Cheng Qianmo in person was not a humble servant.
But one of the Queen's absolute confidants, Taku Abeno, the current deputy leader of the Crane Group!
A distinguished guest with such a high status as him would never ask anyone to get up, but he came today.
This is naturally the work of Queen Hoshida Reiko.
This shows how much Hoshida Reiko attaches great importance to today's battle!
In the suite, when I saw the second prince still sleeping in and not preparing for war at all, I suddenly felt like I hate the iron.
He felt that Naruhito Teruyuki was too disappointing.
Even though he was trained by the queen with all his efforts, he still looks like a playboy.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, it's past time to get up."
"I have arranged all the procedures. Now you only need to go to the Royal Arena."
Although Abeno Taku spoke in a very respectful tone, he had already scolded Teruyuki Naruhito severely in his heart.
It was hard for him to imagine that such a lazy person could compete with the eldest prince Deren Jianwu.
Even if the second prince was lucky enough to gain the throne of emperor in the future, Taku Abeno did not believe that the Japanese country would be able to achieve rapid development.
Therefore, in his heart, he was not optimistic that Naruhito Teruyuki would win the final victory today.
Being able to avoid being beaten by Naruhito Kengo is already considered a good ending.
"You go and wait outside first, I want to wash up."
Cheng Qianmo stretched out and answered very casually.
He didn't seem to realize that today was a very important day, and at the same time he wasn't particularly concerned about the game.
Sure enough, when Abeno Taku felt his careless attitude, he suddenly frowned.
But even so, he didn't say anything, but suppressed a trace of anger and silently retreated out of the room.
There was only a "bang" sound, and the door was closed.
Taku Abeno, who was standing outside the door, suddenly turned cold.
His mood at the moment was both angry and helpless.
He was angry because he felt that the second prince had not only failed to meet the queen's expectations, but also let a confidant like himself waste a lot of money.
After all, in order to save Naruhito Teruyuki, he now owed his old friend Yuuta Takai more than one million gold coins.
If the second prince fails to win the championship today, all the money will be wasted.
And he was helpless because no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't show it.
This is the manifestation of the identity gap!
However, even if he was beaten to death, he would not have thought that the reason why Cheng Qianmo acted so indifferent was that he did not take today's game seriously.
In fact, it would be effortless for him to defeat Naruhito Kenwu and his like!
Ten minutes later, Cheng Qianmo finally appeared at the door after washing up.
Then he followed Abeno Taku and boarded the carriage to the Royal Arena.
At the same time, many contestants have arrived at the venue in advance.
Judging from the name, the Tournament of Talents is indeed just an ordinary competitive event under normal circumstances.
But every Japanese person knows very well that because the current emperor is not in good health and may fly to the west at any time, today's game is given extremely special significance!
Its core purpose is to detect the weight of all the current emperor's descendants who have the right to inherit.
In this era where the strong are respected, the throne of emperor can only be inherited by the most talented descendants!
In other words, the candidates for the emperor in the past were almost all born from the champions of the competition of talents, with few exceptions!
According to the relevant regulations of the Tournament of Merit, this competition is a single-elimination elimination system, and a total of thirty-two descendants of the emperor will participate.
The final winner will receive more strong support in the emperor's election.
Judging from the emperor's "passionate" nature, the number of descendants is actually far more than thirty-two.
Therefore, those descendants with little talent have been passed in advance, and they are not even qualified to run.
But it is said that thirty-two people compete in the same field to compete for the championship.
In fact, most of the runners know that they are only there to accompany them.
Only a few princes ranked close to each other can win the championship.
But even so, these contestants did not choose to give up.
After all, everyone has the "Emperor's Dream" in their hearts, and no one is willing to give up this opportunity to "carp leap over the dragon's gate"!
As time passed little by little, more than twenty of the thirty-two contestants appeared in the Royal Arena.
Even the top seed player in the competition, the eldest prince Naruhito Kenwu, just appeared at the entrance of the venue.
But when everyone looked at him, they suddenly showed expressions of despair!
