With so many imperial guards from the Xia Kingdom surrounding her, if she kills this woman today, she won't be able to escape.
Jun Chenxi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly withdrew the whip.
Lin Yuxin looked at her as she retracted the whip, patted the tiger's back as she sat on it, and then looked at Jun Chenxi with a bright smile, saying:
"Princess Chenfu, I won the tiger-training competition!"
It was only then that Jun Chenxi realized that she had lost ten cities and had the condition of not attacking the Xia Kingdom for twenty years.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly. She held a very high position in the State of Qi, but only if she made contributions to the State of Qi. Otherwise, how could the Emperor of Qi allow a woman to ride on his head and jump around like that?
Moreover, she knew that the Qi Emperor had been planning for over a decade, waiting for the opportune moment to send troops to attack the Xia Kingdom, but this time it was all ruined by her arrogance.
The Emperor Qi will not let her go, what should she do?
Jun Chenxi looked up at Lin Yuxin, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Yuxin knew that she didn't want to admit it, so she ignored her and rode the tiger towards the entrance of the main hall.
Her majestic appearance was just like that of a triumphant female general.
The tiger obediently let her ride it, showing no displeasure whatsoever.
When she reached the main gate, she didn't go in, because she couldn't get in; the gate was completely blocked by the Imperial Guards.
Lin Yuxin didn't care and shouted directly from outside into the room:
"Your Majesty, Third Prince of Qi, have I won this competition?"
The Emperor knew he had won the game as soon as Lin Yuxin was on the tiger's back and hadn't fallen off. He was pleased to see the Third Prince of Qi's face turn ashen.
He asked the third prince of Qi as a token gesture:
"Lin Yuxin is already riding a tiger around everywhere. I wonder what the Third Prince thinks of this competition?"
The Third Prince looked at Lin Yuxin and smiled gently:
"Your Majesty is joking. Lin Yuxin is indeed a master tiger tamer. In this contest, Miss Lin has indeed won."
They have no choice but to swallow this loss themselves. It was their overconfidence that led them to believe that no one in Xia Kingdom would be able to train a tiger. In the end, they were truly slapped in the face.
The Third Prince looked at Lin Yuxin with scrutiny and inquiry, and a hint of interest. This woman is no simpleton! If only he could bring her back to his Qi Kingdom…!
A glint of light flashed in the Third Prince's eyes.
When Lin Yuxin saw that the Third Prince had admitted it, she happily got off the tiger and led it into the iron cage. She waited for the Emperor's men to come and take the tiger away before Lin Yuxin leisurely returned to the main hall.
At this moment, everyone in the main hall was waiting for Lin Yuxin. When she was called in, they all looked at her with a mixture of curiosity, curiosity, and jealousy.
Lin Yuxin didn't care; let them see it, it wouldn't hurt her.
"Your Majesty, I will not fail your grace."
Lin Yuxin walked to the front of the hall and respectfully bowed in response.
"Haha, good, Lin Yuxin wins this match."
The Emperor was truly pleased; Lin Yuxin had brought him honor.
"Your Majesty, what are the stakes for this bet?"
Lin Yuxin spoke up to remind the Emperor.
[Your Majesty, don't be too happy yet. There are still important matters to attend to. The bet hasn't been settled yet. However, given how stingy and vindictive Emperor Qi is, the loss of ten cities this time will surely make him resentful towards the Xia Kingdom, and he will definitely cause trouble for us frequently in the future.]
[Moreover, that twenty-year non-aggression agreement regarding the Xia Kingdom's borders is enough to make Emperor Qi want to vomit blood. They've been planning to attack Xia Kingdom for over a decade, and this has been disrupted by her. The Third Prince will likely face criticism upon his return, and Emperor Qi might even resort to desperate measures.]
[However, if we give up the ten cities and only ask for the twenty-year agreement, Emperor Qi should be able to swallow his anger for now. Besides, I don't need twenty years; just five years is enough for me to guarantee that the Zhao family can produce several generals capable of fighting on the battlefield.]
The Zhao family is currently comprised of the elderly, the weak, and the disabled; they simply lack the resources to fight on the battlefield. Therefore, they should just endure the next few years as long as possible.
The Emperor's expression was solemn. The girl was right. They couldn't let that old bastard Qi Emperor get desperate. Xia Kingdom had enough troops, but it didn't have a single capable general.
For the past ten years since the Zhao family declined, Li Xiaochen has been in charge of half of the military power. But I don't know what kind of deity this kid offended. Whenever he gets injured, he's either dead or badly injured. He's simply not cut out for the battlefield.
Oh! It wasn't easy being an emperor, was it? He was so worried!
But this girl just said she could train him to be a few generals. I wonder if that's true?
As the Emperor pondered this, he decided to adopt Lin's method and bide his time. He then spoke:
"Third Prince, Lin Yuxin won this bet. However, I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. I can give up ten cities, but can your Qi Kingdom guarantee twenty years of non-aggression against the Xia Kingdom's borders?"
The Third Prince was taken aback. They didn't want ten cities? How could that be? But he quickly recovered, clasped his hands in a salute, and said:
"Your Majesty, are you sure you don't want the ten cities?"
"What? Is the Third Prince still questioning what I have said?"
The Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked.
"No, since His Majesty has shown leniency and spared those ten cities, I, the prince, can still make the decision regarding the peace between our two countries for the next twenty years. I agree."
The third prince agreed on the spot, saying that as long as the city was not lost, twenty years would be very soon.
Moreover, it won't even take twenty years. As long as the Qi Emperor's side is ready, the Xia Kingdom will be theirs for the taking.
The Third Prince thought to himself with smug satisfaction.
"Very well, Third Prince is so generous. Someone, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write down the contract."
