Vice General Liu stood up directly, holding up his wine cup and loudly said to Mo Yi, “I’ve heard that Your Highness excels in both literary and military arts. I may be a rough person, but I’d like to see what the Sixth Prince is capable of. Your Highness, care to have a little contest with me!”
Vice General Liu was tall and robust, with immense strength, earning him the nickname “Bear Vice General” in the military camp. When he stood up and looked directly at Mo Yi, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.
And his words were clearly mocking Mo Yi. After all, everyone knew that among the adult princes, the Sixth Prince was the least skilled in both literary and military arts, lacking power and favor.
To praise someone as excelling in both literary and military arts was obviously ironic.
If it were someone else, they might turn red with anger or rebuke him sternly.
But to Mo Yi, he felt like the man was praising him. Praising his talent in both literary and military arts. This was exactly how his partner used to describe him in his previous life—skilled in both aspects.
Moreover, this person not only praised him but also wanted to play with him, to help him show off his skills. This was perfect!
With Bai Yao by his side, Mo Yi had long wanted to showcase his abilities to his partner. So he nodded happily and agreed, “Sure, where shall we have the contest?”
Vice General Liu never expected Mo Yi to actually agree. Upon hearing his response, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that the Sixth Prince might be mentally challenged to actually want to compete with him.
Glancing at Mo Yi’s physique, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
Although the Sixth Prince wasn’t short, his body wasn’t robust at all. His thighs were thinner than Vice General Liu’s arms. It didn’t really arouse Vice General Liu’s interest.
Moreover, the other party’s status is prestigious. If any accidents were to happen, there might be consequences, and he might end up causing trouble for himself. So Vice General Liu waved his hand and said, “I was just joking, Your Highness.”
“Don’t back down!”
Mo Yi heard this and looked at the burly man in front of him. He stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and said enthusiastically, “Since we’ve mentioned it, let’s give it a try. How about we do it in the open space outside the tent?”
As he spoke, he scanned the other soldiers and said, “Anyone interested can join us.”
However, Mo Yi was stopped by Bai Yao before he could take a few steps.
“Your Highness,” Bai Yao looked at Mo Yi disapprovingly, feeling worried.
When Vice General Liu started provoking them earlier, Bai Yao’s expression had already turned unpleasant, and he even signaled to General Wei to intervene. But before General Wei could say anything, Mo Yi had already agreed.
This little leecher, usually playful, how could he be so impulsive when provoked!
The man opposite looked as strong as a brown bear. He wouldn’t actually be so reckless as to fight him, would he? What if he got injured!

But Mo Yi was unaware of Bai Yao’s thoughts. He smiled foolishly at him and said, “Bai Ren, I’ll show you my skills.”

As he lifted the tent curtain, the cold wind rushed in, and Mo Yi took a refreshing breath.
He had just eaten a lot of lamb, and the fiery feeling was overwhelming. Stepping out of the tent and feeling the cold wind blow, he felt refreshed. He walked to the center of the open space and waved at Vice General Liu.
Seeing this, the soldiers ran over to watch the excitement surrounding them.
However, most of them were thinking that the likable little prince was probably going to suffer a big loss today.
Vice General Liu waited for Mo Yi to assume his stance, smiled confidently, and felt disdainful. He didn’t bother warming up; he just charged forward.
Of course, he only wanted to teach Mo Yi a lesson, not to seriously hurt him. He just wanted to knock him down easily.
To his surprise, as he approached, the other party easily evaded his attack. He didn’t even touch Mo Yi’s fur and ended up being stomped on the thigh by him.
He then realized that this little prince on the opposite side somehow had such great strength. Mo Yi’s stomp on his thigh made him unable to resist, causing him to kneel on the ground.
Vice General Liu was dumbfounded. He realized he had lost face and immediately got up awkwardly.
Hearing the laughter from the surrounding people, he couldn’t believe he had stumbled against someone who looked so weak. He then got serious.
However, Vice General Liu still believed that he had been careless just now. Taking a deep breath, he swung his fist again, trying to attack Mo Yi.
But all of his punches were easily avoided by the other side. None of them landed on Mo Yi’s body.
Vice General Liu exerted a lot of effort, but in the eyes of others, he seemed like a mouse being toyed with by a cat.
If 006 knew their thoughts, he would definitely argue back: No, it’s a brown bear being teased by a puppy!
Seeing this, Bai Yao finally began to relax.
The onlookers continued to laugh, and Vice General Liu, infuriated, turned red-eyed. He then put all his strength into charging towards Mo Yi.
Bai Yao became nervous again and was about to intervene to prevent Mo Yi from getting hurt. But to his surprise, he found that Mo Yi’s expression was not worried at all. Instead, he seemed excited because of the other’s efforts.
Mo Yi displayed astonishing agility, leaping into the air and spinning around before kicking Vice General Liu’s chin as he charged. The impact sent him flying.
Of course, Mo Yi controlled the force of the kick. He aimed for Vice General Liu’s shoulder, so while it would be painful, it would only result in superficial injuries that would heal in a few days.
Vice General Liu was sent flying far away, clutching his chin and wailing in pain.
The spectators were dumbfounded to see the burly man being easily kicked away by the slender youth.
It turns out that this Sixth Prince is not at all as weak as he appears on the surface; he clearly has genuine skills!
Even General Wei showed a approving expression towards Mo Yi. He walked up to Bai Yao and whispered softly, “I have to admit, he’s not just all talk. This Sixth Prince doesn’t seem timid or weak at all. He actually seems more resilient than the Eldest Prince. He reminds me a lot of the demeanor of Duke Ning back in the day.”
“Duke Ning?”
Hearing this, Bai Yao suddenly recalled that Mo Yi’s mother was the daughter of Duke Ning. Back in the day, Duke Ning, along with his father and grandfather, fought together on the battlefield. There was a deep bond between the Duke’s family and the Bai family.
When the Bai family encountered trouble, it was only Duke Ning’s family that stood up and petitioned for them.
Thinking back, Mo Yi was just a few years old when the Bai family faced difficulties. He lost his mother early and didn’t have an easy time in the palace.
Although he harbored resentment towards the Emperor for what happened to the Bai family, towards the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince who were involved, he couldn’t harbor any resentment towards Mo Yi.
With this in mind, Bai Yao nodded and whispered softly, “Indeed, the Sixth Prince truly lives up to the bloodline of Duke Ning’s family. He is different from the others.”
The person he liked was always different from those greedy and self-indulgent royals who only cared about their own interests.
Growing up in the secluded palace without any support, Mo Yi still managed to excel and develop genuine, passionate feelings.
At first, Bai Yao suspected that Mo Yi was approaching him to curry favor with the Eldest Prince. But he soon realized he was wrong.
Mo Yi had no interest in court intrigues whatsoever. His impatience with the Eldest Prince was evident from the start. Throughout, Mo Yi’s only intention was to get closer to him.
Even this task he was currently engaged in, if it weren’t for Bai Yao’s instructions, Mo Yi would never have contested for it.
On the other side, after Mo Yi and Vice General Liu finished their bout, he looked around at the surrounding soldiers, still eager for more action. Mo Yi asked them, “Who’s next?”
However, after waiting for a while, no one else stepped forward.
Joking aside, Vice General Liu was naturally strong, a formidable presence in the military camp. If even he couldn’t win, what was the point of others joining in the fun?
After being beaten up and sobered up a bit, Vice General Liu, who had always been accustomed to having the final say with his fists, genuinely admired Mo Yi at this moment.
He stood up, holding his chin, and looked at Mo Yi with sincere admiration. “Your Highness, you are truly amazing! I, Old Liu, am impressed! I used to be the best fighter in our camp. Back then, only Lord Bai could knock me down, and now there’s another one: you.”
Vice General Liu’s words came from the heart, but as soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding people fell silent.
Because everyone knew that when Vice General Liu mentioned Lord Bai, he was referring to the late Marquis Zhongyong, Marquis Bai Huai. However, Marquis Zhongyong’ mansion had now become a taboo existence in everyone’s mouth.
Wang, a relatively cunning vice general, quickly stepped forward, laughing, “Alright, Old Liu, I think you’ve had too much to drink. Look at the state you’re in after getting beaten up like a bear. Let’s go, I’ll take you to treat your injuries! Your Highness, we’ll take our leave first!”
With that, he took Vice General Liu’s shoulder and led him away. Before leaving, he waved to the other soldiers, saying, “Disperse, disperse! No more fighting, everyone go back and rest!”
The surrounding people slowly dispersed, leaving only Mo Yi, Bai Yao, and General Wei.
General Wei still had some concerns for Vice General Liu. After all, Mo Yi was a member of the royal family. If Vice General Liu’s words were reported, it might implicate quite a few people.
Thinking of this, he walked over to Mo Yi and said, “Your Highness, you are truly skilled. I am impressed.
Vice General Liu is a coarse person, often speaking without filter, and he tends to talk nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart.”
To their surprise, Mo Yi shook his head. “It’s not nonsense. I also know that Lord Bai was very brave. It’s just a pity that I never had the chance to witness his valor.”
Mo Yi’s words left General Wei and Bai Yao stunned, especially Bai Yao, who clenched his fists secretly. He calmly advised, “Your Highness, please be cautious with your words. It’s best not to casually mention matters related to traitors when outside. If His Majesty were to find out, you might face criticism.”
Mo Yi felt somewhat puzzled by their reaction. He hadn’t spoken casually outside; he had only mentioned it to them. He had read the plot, and wasn’t General Wei supposed to be on Bai Yao’s side?
So, he shrugged helplessly and said, “I’m not speaking recklessly. Let’s put aside concerns about criticism for now. Is what I said wrong? Even if I haven’t seen Lord Bai, I still remember hearing from my mother about his glorious military achievements when I was young. I believe that Marquis Zhongyong definitely wouldn’t collude with foreign forces as rumored. My mother was the daughter of the Old Duke Ning. I’ve heard that my grandfather and uncle once pleaded for Marquis Zhongyong’s sake. If Marquis Zhongyong was truly a villain, how could my grandfather, who detested evil, possibly plead for him? There must have been some injustice in that case.”
Mo Yi’s words undoubtedly shook Bai Yao. Looking into his sincere eyes, Bai Yao couldn’t deny that Mo Yi truly believed what he was saying.
He didn’t know if it was because this Sixth Prince knew that General Wei was an old subordinate of Lord Bai, which made him so bold. However, after taking a deep breath, Bai Yao finally asked, “So, Your Highness, do you think the Emperor’s judgment at that time was wrong?”
After saying this, Bai Yao fixed his gaze firmly on Mo Yi’s eyes.
Because even though Mo Yi’s previous words sounded good, if he directly stated that the current Emperor’s decision was wrong, probably no one would dare to say such a thing in public.
But to everyone’s surprise, Mo Yi simply nodded and said firmly, “Yes!”
Mo Yi: Talented in both civil and martial arts? That’s me!
