When Yu Wenxian saw Jiang Shi, he looked over and gave him a provocative smile.

"Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu's child looks like this." He sneered, his expression and tone full of disdain.

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Jiang Shi's expression remained gentle and calm.

Jiang Shi naturally knew what kind of person this eldest prince of Tianqi was.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"The Emperor and the Empress have arrived—"

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded, and as the emperor and empress took their seats, the state banquet officially began.

There was singing and dancing in the hall, and the music of stringed instruments was pleasant, creating a peaceful and lively scene.

Yu Wenxian's gaze fell on the thinly dressed dancer dancing gracefully in the middle of the hall.

Snow-white skin, slender limbs, and a waist that can be held in one hand are beautiful, but too monotonous.

Yu Wenxian glanced past them without much interest, and looked at Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi opposite him, his gaze falling nakedly on Yu Tanqi's eyes.

He still prefers this pair of eyes, which are clear and lively. They must be beautiful if made into amber.

"Your Majesty, it's boring to always watch dancers dance. Why don't we watch something else?" Yu Wenxian suddenly spoke loudly.

The sound of stringed instruments suddenly stopped, and the dancers' movements also stopped.

Everyone in the hall looked at Yu Wenxian, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

The people of Wanjin State were all on guard. Everyone knew that the envoy of Tianqi State must have bad intentions in his visit, and that he must be trying to cause trouble if he spoke at this time.

The emperor looked at Yu Wenxian, his dignity evident without anger. "What does the eldest prince of Tianqi want to see?"

Yu Wenxian looked at Jiang Shi with a smile and said, "Since I was a child, I have heard that there was a heroic couple in Wanjin State. I admired them very much. It's a pity that they are gone now, and I can't see their heroic figures with my own eyes.

Fortunately, they still have a child, who is now eighteen years old and full of vigor and vitality. I would like to witness this young man's martial arts. I wonder if Emperor Wanjin would allow it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Shi again.

The people of Tianqi mostly looked at them with malicious eyes, while the people of Wanjin mostly looked at them with complicated worries.

Although Jiang Shi's health is no longer as bad as before and he is no longer bedridden, with rosy lips and white teeth, he does not look frail, but the impression that he is weak and sickly has been deeply rooted in people's minds, and no one has confidence in him.

A minister from the Wanjin Kingdom couldn't help but speak up, "Marquis Wu'an, Crown Prince Jiang, is of noble status. How can he perform like a dancer and be judged by others? If Crown Prince Tianqi wants to see martial arts, he can just have a few soldiers perform."

As soon as these words were spoken, people from the Jin State immediately echoed them.

"Yeah, how can we let Prince Jiang perform martial arts in public?"

"Let the soldiers do this kind of thing."

Yu Wenxian looked at the emperor and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, so there's no need to rush to refute me. I want a man from Tianqi to challenge the son of your Wanjin heroic couple. I want to see how big the difference is between a man from Tianqi and a man from Wanjin. Doesn't the Wanjin Emperor want to see it?"

He curled his lips, his expression proud, "Or is it that Emperor Wanjin is afraid that your son, the hero of Wanjin, will not be able to defeat the men of my Tianqi Kingdom, and will make you feel embarrassed and ashamed."

This is a naked and arrogant provocation.

When Yu Tanqi looks at Jiang Shi, the plot in the book advances. What will he do?

Jiang Shi looked at Yu Wenxian, his expression still calm, but there was a faint glimmer in his eyes as black as ink.

But he did not speak rashly and remained calm and composed.

The people of Wanjin glared at the people of Tianqi, and most of the people of Tianqi showed the same contemptuous expression as Yu Wenxian.

The emperor frowned slightly, looking unhappy.

Immediately, a general from the Wanjin Kingdom stood up and said, "What a joke! How could a man from my Wanjin Kingdom be afraid of a man from your Tianqi Kingdom? You want a duel, right? Come on."

He was tall and strong, with a burly figure, and his eyes showed his dissatisfaction with the arrogance of the Tianqi Kingdom.

Yu Wenxian didn't even glance at him, staring intently at Jiang Shi, who remained calm. "I simply wanted to see how skilled Jiang Shi, the only child of a heroic couple, is in martial arts. As for the others, I'm not interested. Prince Jiang, aren't you prepared to stand up and accept the challenge for the millions of men of your Wanjin Kingdom?"

He has been verbally attacking everyone in Wanjin State and targeting Jiang Shi.

It seemed that if Jiang Shi did not come out to accept the challenge, he would be disregarding the reputation of thousands of men in Wanjin State and bringing shame to the entire Wanjin State.

The people of Wanjin State all looked unhappy.

They simply didn't believe that Jiang Shi could defeat the people of Tianqi. The young boy's weak appearance was deeply rooted in people's minds. In their opinion, letting Jiang Shi come out to accept the challenge would only bring shame to them and make the people of Tianqi laugh at them wantonly. They said that the only child of the so-called heroic couple was nothing more than this, and even laughed at them for being worse than the previous generation.

So Jiang Shi cannot be allowed to stand up.

Just as they were discussing what to do, Yun Xuan suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, Tianqi, you may not know that Crown Prince Jiang has been frail and sickly since childhood and has never practiced martial arts. He is truly unable to accept the challenge. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

He directly said that Jiang Shi did not know martial arts, which shocked everyone in Jin State and made them look at him in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

Is this something that can be said?

Do you still want to save the face of Wanjin Kingdom?

However, the words had been spoken, and the facts could not be refuted. The civil and military officials could only frantically think of solutions while echoing their opinions.

"Yes, Crown Prince Jiang does not know martial arts. I am sorry to disappoint Crown Prince Tianqi. Please forgive me."

"Prince Jiang has been weak since birth, and has suffered from many illnesses since childhood. Our Majesty has sought out many famous doctors, but none of them can cure him. He can only take good care of himself. He has no martial arts skills and is unable to accept any challenge."

"There are other strong men in my Wanjin Kingdom. Prince Tianqi is welcome to choose one and challenge him in martial arts."

After Yun Xuan finished speaking, he did not speak again. Instead, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Jiang Shi casually.

The frail young man he mentioned was now sitting upright, his eyes and brows as gentle and calm as ever, and his green clothes as fresh as bamboo, as if no matter what others said or did, it could not affect his elegance.

Yun Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, and a cold curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

When Yu Wenxian saw Jiang, he sat calmly in his seat, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Can you really keep your composure?

He frowned, but still didn't give up the desire to see Jiang Shi embarrassed and embarrassed. His eyes fell on Danqing behind Jiang Shi.

"Since Crown Prince Jiang is frail and ill-equipped for martial arts, his guards must be no ordinary men, right? How about letting Crown Prince Jiang's guards accept the challenge on his behalf? Emperor Wanjin will finally agree to my request now, right?"
