Chapter 114 I Came For The Final Reward
At the end of the first round, Emperor Wu and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs left first. Only Princess Rong An and Huo Qubing did not leave the ring. Huo Qubing wanted to ask his younger brother, Huo Guang, why he suddenly came to participate in the competition. Also, Huo Guang gave him There are too many surprises, starting from the invention of the guide car, to the extraordinary performance in the battle with the Huns, and now he has written another good article.

He really didn't expect that at the beginning, he just thought that Huo Guang had good qualifications and a calm personality, so he wanted to take him out for a venture. It would be best if he could be a part-time official. If not, he could also live comfortably under his protection. In the future, marry a wife and have children.

But now Huo Qubing finds out that his perception of Huo Guang at the beginning seems to be wrong, even subverted. He still remembers the young man who talked nonsense and was beaten by his father when they met for the first time. Not surprised.

Princess Rong An wanted to sneak a few more sneaky glances at Huo Guang. It was the first time he saw Huo Guang from the window of the attic. Although it was just a quick glance, he was moved by his handsome demeanor in armor. Convinced on the other hand.

Rong An also just wanted to take a closer look. When he meets someone he likes, he always wants to spend more time with him. Even though it's a distance away, it's always good to see him a little longer.

But Rong An didn't want to disturb Huo Guang, there was a second match and there would be a chance to meet each other, she only hoped that Huo Guang could lead the way and win the match.

There was another person who was also looking at Huo Guang, but her mood was different from the first two. She didn't want to praise his literary talents, nor did she have any feelings for him. She wanted him to repay his debt.

Finally the emperor left, the ministers also left, Qiaoer was going to ask for money, it was his monthly money, Huo Guang ate so much food, it cost her a lot of money, he still didn't want to fall with Huo Guangsuan today What about medical expenses and spiritual expenses? If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop. Now you don’t need money, and Huo Guang will run away again in a while. He is best at escaping.

Qiaoer just wanted to sneak around in front of Huo Guang from behind and stop him from asking for money.

Princess Rong An suddenly said, "Qiaoer, let's go."

Walk?But I haven't asked for money yet!

Qiaoer didn't want to leave, "Princess, I haven't asked for my money yet, can you allow Qiaoer to exchange the money he owes me first."

If it wasn't about money, Qiao'er wouldn't be so sad. After all, it's a month's money. She still wanted to save it and use it as a dowry for herself in the future. Huo Guang actually ate so much for a meal. The breath cannot be swallowed no matter what.

Rong An frowned. She naturally didn't want Qiao'er to go to Huo Guang now. With Qiao'er's character, there would definitely be trouble in the past. If Huo Guang wins the game in the future, he will be her husband. She really doesn't want to cause trouble at this time. .

Rongan could only feel wronged by Qiaoer, "You are not allowed to go."

Qiaoer's big eyes subconsciously opened, "It's the princess."

Rong An glanced over with a shut-up look, and Qiaoer caught the gaze with the little ice knife hidden, so she could only shut up, bit her lip and followed Rong An, and finally did not forget to fiercely face Huo Guang's direction Glared.

Qiao'er muttered in her heart, the princess had never looked at any son directly before, it was the first time she had a good impression of someone, originally thought that no matter what kind of talent the princess was looking for, he must be both good-looking, good-looking, civil and military, but...
Qiao'er couldn't figure it out, why did she just set her sights on Huo Guang, who had no merits other than having a good skin, so she snorted fiercely in her heart.

"I didn't tell my elder brother how to participate in the competition."

Huo Guang suddenly turned around when he heard the voice and saw his eldest brother Huo Qubing. He couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He came a little late. He didn't hear the previous rewards. He didn't know if the jade pendant was on display. Did his eldest brother see this competition? The reward is his jade pendant.

The corners of Huo Guang's eyes twitched, and he said in embarrassment, "I happened to pass by, so I signed up." He thought for a while, but he still had no idea, so he couldn't help asking, "I don't know why the eldest brother is here?"

"Your Majesty orders, who dare not come."

It turned out that it was because of His Majesty's request, not the eldest brother himself, Huo Guang felt relieved, seeing Huo Qubing's attitude, he didn't look like he saw the prize.

Huo Qubing was actually more curious about why Huo Guang participated in the competition.

A servant in the family once said that there are rumors in the city of Chang'an that when Princess Rong'an was recruiting a son-in-law, he pointed out the window and said, "If it is this person, I will not marry."And that person was Huo Guang who just returned to Chang'an with the army.

Because no one had seen Rongan's appearance before, Huo Qubing also believed the rumors and thought that the princess was ugly. However, after seeing her today, it was indeed a misinformation. The princess had a delicate appearance, extraordinary temperament, and was a stunning beauty.

Could it be that my younger brother knew this, and that's why he came to participate in the Biwen competition, just to win the competition and become a county horse?It's just such a big matter, Huo Guang didn't tell him in advance, this guy can really hold his breath.

Huo Qubing pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up playfully, "Is it for the final reward?" He said it tactfully, afraid that his brother would be embarrassed.

Huo Guang's heart sank. He really came here for the reward. Could it be that the eldest brother already knew that the reward was the jade pendant he gave him?The heart that had just been put down was raised again.

He held the corner of his mouth cautiously and hummed softly.

Huo Qubing laughed loudly, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's human nature, just try your best to compete, brother has confidence in you."

Huo Qubing was happy. His younger brother seemed to have admired the princess for a long time. However, the two of them had never met before. But then he thought about it, maybe this was fate.

"Thank you, brother." Huo Guang thanked his brother, but he was a little confused in his heart. Is it human nature to know that he lost the jade pendant and think that it is human nature to accidentally lose the jade pendant, or did he not see the jade pendant at all and just think Huo Guang wanted it? Are the treasures bestowed by the emperor human nature?
Huo Guang's mind was a little messed up, his elder brother didn't ask about Yupei directly, although he was nervous, he could still deceive himself and others, he didn't say anything, just smiled in line with Huo Qubing, and followed him back home.

How could Huo Guang know that when Emperor Wu announced the reward, he focused on choosing a son-in-law for Rongan, and the final reward was the status of consort, and the jade pendant was originally just a cover for Rongan to lure Huo Guang into the competition, so before the competition it was After taking it with one mouth, no one saw what the jade pendant from the imperial court looked like.

Huo Qubing cast his eyes on his handsome brother's face from time to time, and couldn't help but praise him in his heart. Then a smile appeared on his face that seemed very strange to Huo Guang.

The more Huo Guang saw his elder brother being so casual, the more he felt as if he knew something.

With different thoughts in mind, the two walked side by side along the avenue of Chang'an City.
