When I comforted Hao Hanyang and took her back to the competition venue, I found that there was a huge crowd, and the civil and military ministers of Qi were cheering and exclaiming.
"It's amazing that the Imperial Master came out so quickly!"
I don't know when a large pile of boulders was placed in the middle of the field, and after a stick of incense was timed, Liuchi came out not long after entering.
When it was Liuchi's turn to set up the formation, Batuzi trapped two incense sticks in the stone formation, which was already beyond the game time!
Therefore, Liu Chi won this round very easily.
When Xia Yan saw me, his expression was complicated, because it was my turn with Rui Xueji next time!
"Father!" Qi Xuan, who arrived at short notice, broke the excitement on the field.
King Qi was still marveling at Liu Chi's talent, and quickly came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"
"It's time for lunch, why not postpone the last competition until the evening!"
King Qi stood up, rushed to the field and waved his hand: "This is the end of today's competition. Everyone, please go back to the palace first. After lunch, we will have the last competition in the evening!"
When we returned to the annex, everyone looked bad.
After lunch, Mo Chengjun looked decadent, probably unwilling to lose, but Liu Chi was very relaxed, comforting him that victory or defeat was a common thing for military officers, so there was no need to keep it in mind.
I was miserable. It was my turn to play in the evening and I had to practice harder.
Seeing how hard I worked, Xia Yan comforted me for the first time: "Just forget it if you can't win, don't work so hard!"
Fortunately, Hanyang went back to the room to cry at this time, otherwise she would definitely have hanged herself with a rope after hearing Xia Yan's words.
"Your Majesty, don't you think Rui Xueji is a little strange today?" Liu Chi said!
Xia Yan thought for a while: "Indeed, I didn't hear a word she said for a whole day!"
After Liu Chi reminded me, I remembered that Rui Xueji used to look at people with disdain and never look her in the eye, but today I secretly looked at her several times, and her eyes were dull, like a puppet.
"Liu Chi, did you find anything?" Xia Yan asked.
Liu Chi smiled softly and said softly: "I suspect that Prince Rui has been controlled by Yan Xiaoqing. Her weapon is a whip, but today I saw a sword hanging on her waist. Moreover, Rui Xueji is arrogant and aloof. How can she keep it down?
Follow Yan Xiaoqing as a servant?"
"I find this strange too!" Xia Yan thought thoughtfully.
Liu Chi's eyes flashed and he continued: "If I guess correctly, the person who entered the venue with a bamboo hat today is the person who controls Rui Xueji!"
"How did you find out?"
"It's very simple. Put the poison in the food and let the host eat it for half a month. After half a month, the host will lose the ability to control himself and obey other people's commands. That person wears a bamboo hat to cover up the flaws in his command!"
"Then how do you know whether Ruixueji is being controlled?" I asked. Just because Ruixueji didn't speak for a day doesn't mean anything.
"The person being controlled will usually have three calming needles on the back of the neck. This is to prevent the host from being stimulated and going crazy!"
"In other words, if there are three silver needles on the back of Ruixueji's neck, does it mean that she is controlled by someone?" I exclaimed.
Liu Chi nodded.
"Then why don't you send someone to check it out quickly?"
"Yan Xiaoqing will definitely not let anyone get close at this time!" Xia Yan said firmly.
"That's right, if someone discovers that he controls King Rui, the kings of the five kingdoms will not let him go. This kind of evil magic has been banned long ago!" Mo Chengjun looked frightened.
