"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Four countries, eight underground pools, how many cities do we have left?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice! You cannot agree to this. Otherwise, you will be a tyrant!"
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangyun has ulterior motives. She wants to harm Daliang. Don't trust her!"
“…………”
…………
The ministers of Daliang began to come out and jump around again, all trying to persuade the emperor to think twice and not agree.
"Father, this is a gift of wealth from your son, you must accept it."
Gao Zhijun didn't notice the jumping minister, she spoke to the emperor sincerely.
If the emperor believed her, the gift she gave would be enough to expand Daliang and make it a powerful country, and no one would dare to invade.
Eight cities are one-fourth of Daliang's territory. If we lose them, Daliang will become a small country. If we win all eight cities, Daliang will become a strong country.
The emperor was a little embarrassed. Of course he believed in the princess. After all, she could even make a ten-shot crossbow and grenades, so how could she lose?
Wait, grenades? How could he have forgotten?
Even if they lost the city, Daliang could still fight back. Ten-shot crossbows and grenades were invincible.
Thinking of this, the emperor made a decision.
"Princess, I agree!"
"Alright, please, Father, sign a document for the three princes as you did just now!"
Gao Zhijun was impressed by the emperor's belief in her and felt warm at the same time.
Father, since you believe in me, I will definitely expand Daliang's territory and make it a great power.
Eunuch Zhang ground ink for the emperor, who then wrote three notes, affixed them with his imperial seal, and handed them to Gao Zhijun.
The ministers of Daliang kept trying to persuade the emperor, but when they saw that it didn't work, they began to insult Gao Zhijun.
"Witch, you are bringing disaster to the country and the people!"
"Your Majesty, you are so confused!"
"Shut up! If you don't shut up, I'll fire you from office."
The emperor's threat was indeed effective. The ministers no longer dared to say a word and remained silent.
The three princes signed and pressed their fingerprints.
Gao Zhijun smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
The wealth of heaven, here I come!
"Princess, we've all signed, can you start now?"
"Princess, are you still trying to delay?"
"If Princess is scared, kneel down and call us grandpa."
The three princes started to act up again.
Well, since you like to seek death so much, this princess can’t stop you and has to fulfill your wish.
"How could that be? This princess still wants you to call me Auntie!"
"Princess, I am late. Please forgive me!"
Canglang walked quickly into the hall carrying a bundle of bamboo.
"It's better to be late. You helped Daliang win eight cities, helped this princess win four thousand taels of gold, and also gave me three more grandchildren. You are a great hero."
It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Gao Zhijun really loves Canglang’s assist.
Canglang originally thought that he was late and the princess would be angry. Unexpectedly, the princess was not angry at all, but praised him and said he was a great hero. He was really confused.
"Uh, here comes this princess's magic weapon. This princess will show you a miracle and slap you in the face!"
Gao Zhijun pointed at the bamboo in Canglang's arms and said.
"Princess, are you kidding? Bamboo can tame a Pixiu."
"Princess, even if you can't do it, don't humiliate us with bamboo! If bamboo can really tame the Pixiu, I will stand upside down and eat bamboo."
"That's right, count me as the prince."
When the three princes met Zhuzi, they all believed that the princess would lose, and they would win back the two cities. Their father would definitely make them the crown princes and become the heirs to the throne.
They were so happy dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period that they didn't notice that the Second Prince of Goryeo had a strange look on his face.
The moment the second prince of Goryeo saw the bamboo, his heart skipped a beat and he felt inexplicably panicked.
Could she have known... Impossible, she couldn't possibly have known that Pixiu loved eating bamboo. He couldn't panic, it must have been a coincidence.
"Second Prince of Goryeo, are you familiar with bamboo?"
Looking at the pale-faced Second Prince of Goryeo, Gao Zhijun said jokingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about. How could I possibly recognize such an ugly bamboo?"
The second prince of Goryeo said with forced calmness.
As long as I say I don’t know her, she won’t know that Pixiu likes to eat bamboo, and I won’t lose.
The second prince of Goryeo at this moment is probably referring to deceiving himself and others and covering his ears to steal the bell.
"You don't recognize him? No problem! I'll help you remember."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took a bamboo stick and walked towards the iron cage where the Pixiu was imprisoned.
After smelling the refreshing scent of bamboo, the Pixiu became restless, pacing back and forth in the cage and even trying to break the cage with its hands.
With every step Gao Zhijun took, the Pixiu in the cage became a little more irritated and tried to pry it open even harder, making the iron cage clang even louder.
The second prince, Boluodian, the prince of Tatar, and the third prince of the Western Regions were even more excited. They would soon see the princess of Daliang being beaten to death, and they would take back two cities.
The emperor and the prince held their breath and dared not move their eyes.
Murong Yuanbo and Qinglong stared at their daughter/princess intently. If there was any danger, they would risk their lives to save her/his daughter/princess!
Canglang also kept a close eye on the Pixiu, and if it tried to attack the princess, he would kill it.
Some of the ministers of Daliang gloated and hoped that the Pixiu could beat the evil woman to death.
Some ministers prayed in their hearts, hoping that the princess would be safe and win. The emperor had already agreed to the bet, and they, the ministers, could not persuade the emperor. What could they do? They could only hope that the princess would win.
Otherwise, not only would the emperor not be able to see his ancestors, they would also not have the face to see their ancestors.
