The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife Chapter 2256 - 2258: Issuing a Challenge

"Thank you, Emperor!" Yang Chuxia stood up and pulled Yangyang aside, "Son, how is it? Did Baili Han give you any trouble?"

Yangyang smiled and opened his arms, "Mother, see, I’m fine."

"Alright, your mother is back." Baili Yan said anxiously, "You can tell us about your trip now."

Before arriving, Yangyang had already decided in his mind that he must not tell the Emperor that he didn’t drug the opponent at all.

So he said, "I tried to drug him, but he saw through it. He told that he wasn’t sick, that he had long recovered."

The few exchanged looks; Baili Yan was sowhat disappointed and realized they could only confront the opponent head-on.

At this mont, Yangyang added, "But he asked to deliver a letter to Uncle."

"What letter?"

Yangyang took the letter from his chest and handed it to Baili Yan.

Baili Yan took it and read it through, his expression becoming sowhat grave yet unpleasant.

"Emperor, what does the letter say?" Old Mu asked.

"Uncle, take a look."

Baili Yan helplessly handed the letter to Old Mu.

Old Mu finished reading and then passed the letter to Mu Shaoling.

"Good grief!" Mu Shaoling, unlike Old Mu, no longer held back his temper, "A duel with him? Does he think this is so sort of worldly competition? Losers are at his rcy, winners withdraw troops? And in front of soldiers from both dynasties?"

"Emperor, you can’t go." Old Mu advised, "Winning or losing is no good. Besides, Prince Le is soone who lacks principles; what if you win and he doesn’t keep his word?"

"We’ll go!" Baili Yan slamd the table, "He won’t give the chance to not go. Since he had Yangyang bring the letter, he’ll definitely follow up with a direct challenge; whether or not I accept, I have to."

"Moreover, Uncle, although he’s capricious, he wouldn’t joke about such matters." Baili Yan stated, "Actually, Great Qi isn’t much stronger than Great Zhou. If the two dynasties fought, even if Great Qi wins, they would be severely weakened. Not everyone in Great Qi’s court supports warfare; he probably faces pressure too."

"Furthermore, this is an opportunity."

Having decided, Baili Yan left Old Mu with no choice but to obey. "In that case, I’ll make preparations."

"Alright!"

"Yangyang worked hard this ti." Once business was concluded, Baili Yan praised Yangyang, "A truly good child. Keep working hard, and there’ll always be a place for you among my generals."

Yangyang’s little face blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Uncle, but I didn’t succeed."

"You’re brave even in failure."

Yang Chuxia guessed they still had matters to discuss, and took Yangyang to leave.

Upon reaching the courtyard where the mother and son lived, Yang Chuxia pulled Yangyang aside, "Co, tell Mother exactly what happened."

"Mother, he recognized as his godson." Yangyang recounted everything about his dealings with Prince Le to Yang Chuxia, "Mother, I couldn’t bring myself to do it when I got close. You all say he’s bad, but he never hard . Back at the cliff in the Capital City, when I was about to be taken by the giant snake, he was the one who had soone guarding there."

"I feel if I harm him, I’d be ungrateful." Yangyang said softly, "But I also don’t want war, so I asked him to be my godfather. I felt it wasn’t good to tell the Emperor, so I didn’t ntion it earlier."

"Yes, it was right not to say." Yang Chuxia said with relief, "My dear child has really grown up."

In her heart, she sighed; it seems Prince Le couldn’t have children, which explains why he wants Yangyang as a son.
