"Pixiu, I'm going to give you bamboo to eat, but you have to listen to me. Otherwise, I won't give you any bamboo to eat and you'll starve."
As everyone had their own ulterior motives, Gao Zhijun slowly walked to the iron cage and threatened the Pixiu.
The Pixiu, nestled in its cage, gazed upon the tiny human before it. So dainty, so delicate, it could barely reach a finger. Yet, she had the audacity to threaten it. Who called her ignorant and fearless? Or brave and resourceful? But with its stomach growling with hunger, what could it do? It had no choice but to compromise. And so, it uttered a sound of agreement.
"Uh-huh!"
The Pixiu made a sound to express its agreement.
"You have agreed to this, don't go back on your word, or I will throw the bamboo away."
Gao Zhijun said threateningly again.
"Hmmmm!"
This time the Pixiu called faster and louder, and nodded.
The interaction between Gao Zhijun and the Pixiu finally made the second prince of Goryeo's face crack. He finally felt scared.
The princess of Daliang seems to really know how to tame the Pixiu. If he loses two cities, his father will definitely not let him go.
The three princes were shocked and frightened by the interaction between Gao Zhijun and Pixiu.
Although they didn't know whether the Pixiu could understand Princess Daliang's words, judging from its expression, it seemed that it liked eating bamboo.
Could the princess of Daliang really tame the Pixiu? Wouldn't that mean their city would be lost to Daliang, and then my father would surely kill him.
The emperor and the prince were also shocked, but they were more happy that the princess really did it and did not lie to them.
In addition to being shocked, Murong Yuanbo was more proud. His daughter was just amazing.
Huo Jinqian also smiled happily. His woman had never let him down and always gave him surprises.
Gao Zhijun concentrated on feeding the Pixiu, eating one bamboo stick after another. When it bleated with satisfaction, Gao Zhijun stopped feeding it.
The Pixiu in the iron cage began to make a "weeping" sound, as if saying that it wanted to eat more bamboo.
"If you still want to eat bamboo, you must listen to me. If you agree, I will give you bamboo to eat."
"Uh-huh!"
The Pixiu made a sound of agreement.
"I'll let you out, but you can't attack me or anyone else here. Can you do that? I'll let you out to eat bamboo."
Gao Zhijun negotiated conditions with Pixiu.
If it agrees, let it out to eat bamboo until it is full. Otherwise, let it starve in the cage.
"Hmmmm!"
The Pixiu kept calling and nodding to show that it agreed very much.
"Okay, I'll let you out!"
Gao Zhijun took the key from Gao Li's servant, opened the lock, opened the cage, and let the Pi Xiu out.
As soon as the Pixiu got out of the cage, it ran to eat the bamboo.
The scene before them left everyone stunned and found it too unbelievable.
Finally, some people got anxious.
The Second Prince of the Polo Kingdom, the Tatar Crown Prince, and the Third Prince of the Western Regions were terrified. They seemed to be losing. They were about to lose two cities, and they didn't know how to explain it to their father.
The three princes glared at the second prince of Goryeo fiercely. If it weren't for his instigation, they would not have made a bet with the princess and lost two cities.
The second prince of Goryeo was not much better off. He originally came to Daliang to pay tribute in accordance with his father's imperial decree, to establish friendly relations between the two countries, and then to exchange culture with Daliang to see if he could help Goryeo.
I, on the other hand, wanted to dampen Daliang's enthusiasm and show off my power.
As a result, two cities of Goryeo were lost.
He blamed all of this on Gao Zhijun, thinking that she was the culprit who harmed him.
Therefore, he glared at Gao Zhijun with a vicious and gloomy look.
As soon as the Pixiu was full, it made a "gurgling" sound and rubbed Gao Zhijun's hand with its chubby head.
Gao Zhijun was touched by its adorable appearance. She reached out and touched its head and said, "Now that you're full and satisfied, you have to listen to me. Let everyone touch you, but don't be mean to them. Do you understand?"
Gao Zhijun said threateningly again.
"Hmmmm!"
The Pixiu made a sound of agreement.
This human, though aggressive, wouldn't hurt it. She smelled sweet and milky, and it liked her. She was its master, and it had to obey her.
Gao Zhijun took the Pixiu to the emperor, the crown prince, Murong Yuanbo, Huo Jinqian and the three princes to pet. The Pixiu was very well behaved and obedient throughout the whole process, allowing them to pet it without getting angry.
At the beginning, everyone was afraid and didn't dare to touch it, so Gao Zhijun took over and pulled their hands to touch the Pi Xiu directly.
The furry touch and the Pixiu's lack of objection emboldened them, and they began to touch it boldly.
Daliang's minister Gao Zhijun did not let the Pixiu come over for them to touch, because they were not worthy.
"Second Prince of Goryeo, Crown Prince of Tatar, Second Prince of Polodian, Third Prince of the Western Regions, I have tamed the Pixiu. Now it is your turn to keep your promise."
Gao Zhijun touched the head of the Pixiu next to her, and then spoke to the Second Prince of Goryeo and others.
"This...Princess Daliang, I was just joking with you, please don't take it to heart."
The second prince, Polodyan, was the first to speak out, saying that it was just a joke.
"Yes, Princess Daliang, you are so magnanimous. Just treat it as if I just farted and it will disappear into thin air after I fart."
The Tatar prince quickly agreed and said that he was just farting and joking.
“Princess Daliang, you are naturally beautiful and high-minded. You won’t bother with me. The bet just now is void.”
In order to avoid ceding two cities, the third prince of the Western Region flattered Gao Zhijun.
"You three princes, are you trying to shirk your responsibility? We've written it down clearly in black and white. You won't try to deny it, will you? It's too late! You should have thought of this when you aided the Second Prince of Goryeo, aided and abetted the tyrant, and slandered this princess. If you don't fulfill your bet, this princess won't mind spreading the news of your inability to afford a loss throughout the continent. Then, your country will become a laughing stock on the continent. The culprit behind all this is the Second Prince of Goryeo. Blame him if you want to."
Gao Zhijun is not what they wish. If you make me regret and humiliate me, I will ruin your reputation and make it impossible for you to stay in your country.
For the sake of national reputation, they had no choice but to fulfill the bet.
But deep down, he hated the Second Prince of Goryeo and Gao Zhijun.
