Chapter 670: Admitting defeat
“What is called missing a point?”
“You brat, can you speak more clearly?”
The East Qin people all called out .
When Na Mu Cuo heard this, his eyes couldn’t help narrowing as he looked at the inscription on the right . Suddenly, his body trembled as his pupils tightened and he gave a heavy snort .
“Gentlemen, please look . In the West Chu language writing, there is a dot, this is the writing habit of my country’s language . There is a punctuation in both the upper and lower verse and my country’s princess has this one point while prince Na Mu’s is missing this point . The rules of the contest was that both side had to copy it completely without any mistakes . Although prince Na Mu missed only this one little point, according to the rules, this is the princess’ victory . Gentlemen, are you convinced of this loss?”
After Ye Ting Xuan said this, the East Qin people opened their eyes wide to look at the point he referred to . They found that there was this point on the stele and it was missing from their prince’s writing . They couldn’t help looking at each other in blank dismay and not make a single sound .
The West Chu ministers all let out cheers as their faces filled with joy . Everyone’s faces filled with spirit as they felt their hearts fill with excitement .
Not that long ago, they were all depressed, like a cock that had lost a fight . In the blink of an eye, everyone was filled with joy once again .
Even Empress Dowager Zhou on the stands couldn’t help revealing a satisfied smile on her stern face .
This contest’s results were filled with twist and turns and no one would have expected to end like this . It far exceeded everyone’s expectations .
Chu Shao Yang was pleasantly surprised as his hands were soaked with cold sweat .
Before the results of the competition was known, his back was already soaked with sweat . Only in this moment did his heart fall down from his throat .
“Ning’er, you’ve won, you’ve won!” He was filled with excitement as he tightly held her hands . If they weren’t in public, he would have held her in his embrace .
Chen Ning just gave a soft un sound . She was not surprised by this result .
Because Ye Ting Xuan had already given her a hint and she understood this hint . Na Mu Cuo lost because he was too arrogant . If they were to talk about real strength, he was not below her .
Her win this time could be considered lucky .
In comparison to the excited and happy West Chu ministers, the East Qin people all had aggrieved expressions . They felt their lose was unfair, wasn’t it just a single period? What did it count for?
These West Chu people had dug a pit for the prince to jump into, they really dug a pit for him!
“Your highness, these West Chu people are too sly . We can’t admit this defeat!”
“That’s right . Your highness, this is clearly your victory, but that white faced brat is making fake decisions!”
“Your highness, we can’t let this end this easily . Let’s ask their emperor for a fair decision!”
The East Qin envoys surrounded Na Mu Cuo . They were all filled with anger as they glared at Ye Ting Xuan .
Na Mu Cuo slowly raised his hand .
The envoys all immediately closed their mouths and silently waited for the crown prince to make his decision .
“A win is a win, a loss is a loss . I, Na Mu Cuo always act in an honourable manner, I will never act like a fool . This competition, this prince acknowledges my loss . ”
Na Mu Cuo said this both in the East Qin and the West Chu languages .
Although the East Qin envoys felt aggrieved, if his highness personally admitted this defeat, they could do nothing . However, their hearts were filled with admiration towards his highness for accepting this and letting it go . He really was a heroic man, no wonder he was the number one warrior in their East Qin Kingdom .
