Ashina Nuji's pupils suddenly constricted, "Are you crazy? This is impossible!"
The reason why the Turks dared to challenge the Great Zhou was because their cavalry was unparalleled in the world and their war horses were top-notch.
Not to mention a thousand war horses, he was unwilling to give even one.
Ashina Nuji glared angrily, "Prince Chen, don't think that just because you have the goddess' protection, you can ask for anything from me! There is absolutely no way I will agree to that!"
"Really?" Li Junyan nodded indifferently, "Then you can go."
Ashina Nuji was stuck for a moment, standing there, not knowing whether to move or not.
Although he spoke firmly just now, he was waiting for Li Junyan to bargain with him.
As long as I don't have to give him a warhorse, I don't care about the life of that useless Bi Chi.
But unexpectedly, Li Junyan didn't bargain at all.
After holding it in for a long time, Ashina Nuji finally took the initiative to speak, "I can't give you the warhorse, but I can give you Bichi's life—"
"You're joking, Grand Prince." Li Junyan interrupted him, his laughter tinged with contempt. "Bi Chi's life is just a bonus, not part of our deal. Grand Prince, don't you think his life is worth a thousand war horses?"
Of course not!
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud.
Ashina Nuji rolled his eyes. "Prince Chen talks nicely, but can we really take out so many things? What if we can't take them out?"
Li Junyan said firmly, "Of course you can take it out. How could there be something in this world that a goddess can't take out?"
Sang Jueqian was always ready. When he heard Li Junyan's words, he knew it was his turn to take the stage. He immediately took out a box of salt from the space and threw it on the open space next to Li Junyan.
Lin Qi pulled out a dagger, quickly cut open the box, took out a bag of salt, opened it, and walked to Ashina Nuji.
Ashina Nuji stretched out his palm, and Lin Qi carefully poured a little salt into his palm.
The fine white salt grains, like snowflakes, gently fell into Ashina Nuji's palm, instantly occupying his eyes and heart.
As the eldest prince of the Turks, Ashina Nuji had been living a life of luxury since childhood, eating and drinking the best food.
But even so, he had never seen such fine salt.
Put your palm to your nose, take a breath, and you will smell the salty taste.
Seeing that he didn't dare to taste it, Lin Qi poured a little into his palm and put it directly into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Ashina Nuji dared to dip a little with his finger and put it into his mouth.
The salty taste melted in his mouth, making Ashina Nuji's eyes shine.
It’s really salt!
Such high-quality refined salt!
Only salty, no bitterness!
Li Junyan looked at Ashina Nuji and said, "You've seen and tasted the food. What do you think? Do you want to do this business?"
"Yes." Ashina Nuji's eyes flickered, "but a thousand war horses are too many—"
"Then there's nothing more to discuss. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Lin Qi, take someone to escort the eldest prince out of the city."
The eldest prince is of noble status, so he must be escorted out of the city safely without any mistakes."
Li Junyan left after he finished speaking. A guard ran over quickly and picked up a box of salt on the ground.
Lin Qi carefully placed the bag of oxygen in his hand into the box and said to the guard, "Go ahead. Be careful not to spill it."
Seeing that Li Junyan and the box of salt were getting farther and farther away, Ashina Nuji became anxious and wanted to catch up.
Lin Qi directly blocked Ashina Nuji's way and said, "Prince, please stay!"
"You dare to stop me?!"
"I dare not. I am only following the prince's orders to escort the eldest prince out of the city."
"This prince is still discussing business with your prince."
"Your Highness no longer wants to talk, please, eldest prince!"
"you--"
Ashina Nuji wanted to get angry, but he subconsciously looked up at the sky. Although he didn't see the huge hand, he didn't dare to act rashly.
The goddess was clearly protecting Tingzhou. If he took action here and angered the goddess, and then was taught a lesson by her, the shame would be the least, but the loss of his life would be the biggest!
"Hmph! Let's go!"
——
After leaving the Goddess Temple, Li Junyan went straight back to the study in Prince Chen's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the study, Li Junyan looked at Sang Jueqian's hand with concern, "Qianqian, is your hand okay?"
Sang Jueqian stretched out his hand in front of him, "Look, isn't it fine? It's okay! Don't worry!"
Li Junyan was relieved. "It's good that you're alright! Next time, just throw the person out. Don't hold him in your hand all the time. Don't hurt your hands."
"Okay, next time for sure!"
Sang Jueqian agreed and asked about what happened just now, "Are you really not going to talk to him anymore?"
"Of course we have to talk." Li Junyan explained with a smile, "But it's not a good deal if we rush to negotiate. We have to wait for him to come to us to talk, then we can take the initiative.
If I ask for a thousand war horses and he doesn't give them to me, then the next time he comes to me, a thousand horses won't be enough."
When saying this, Li Junyan had a faint smile on his face, but there was a deep light in his eyes.
Looking at Li Junyan like this, Sang Jueqian subconsciously said, "I didn't expect that Lezhi, you are actually a sesame filling."
Li Junyan looked over in confusion, "What did Qianqian say?"
Seeing that he really didn't understand, Sang Jueqian wanted to laugh even more, "Hasn't Lezhi ever eaten Yuanxiao? Yuanxiao with black sesame filling."
Li Junyan just didn't think about it that way, but when he heard Sang Jueqian's explanation, he instantly understood the meaning of her words.
