Originally, Ashina Nuji's sudden appearance was enough to surprise Sang Jueqian.
After hearing his next words, Sang Jueqian was even more shocked and confused.
When did they become so familiar with each other?
Sang Jueqian was thinking in his heart when he heard Li Junyan ask lightly, "What is the eldest prince doing?"
Ashina Nuji raised his head, his eyes fixed on the statue of the goddess. "I am deeply impressed by the goddess's ability. The goddess is my faith! I actually missed the sacrificial ceremony at the goddess's temple. I owe her an apology."
Hearing his explanation, Sang Jueqian's mouth twitched.
Actually...there is no need to do that!
At this time, Ashina Nuji said again, "To express my apology, I specially present the goddess with our best Turkic jewelry."
He had just finished speaking when people came in one after another.
These people were carrying large boxes. After lining up the boxes in a row in the hall, they carefully opened the lids of the boxes.
The moment the lid was opened, the entire hall was illuminated with brilliant light.
Two boxes of gold cakes, two boxes of uncut jadeite of various colors, and two boxes of jade of various textures.
Pearls of different sizes filled two large boxes.
Although I had heard from Li Junyan before that the Turks were very rich, the feeling of hearing it and seeing it with my own eyes was still different.
I knew that the Turks were rich, but I never thought they were so rich!
Isn’t this too rich?
Ashina Nuji looked towards Li Junyan, staring at Li Junyan's face again and again, not knowing what he wanted to see from Li Junyan's face.
After a long while, Ashina Nuji smiled and asked, "What do you think of my apology, Your Majesty? Will the goddess like it?"
Li Junyan glanced at the box and nodded, "The goddess likes it. If there were more, the goddess would like it even more."
This answer obviously exceeded Ashina Nuji's expectations. He looked at Li Junyan in surprise, "Does the goddess also love gold, silver and jewelry?"
We are all goddesses, shouldn’t we be pure and free from desires?
Li Junyan gave Ashina Nuji a strange look and asked, "If the eldest prince felt that the goddess didn't like it, why did he give it to her?"
"I......"
Of course, it was because he wanted the goddess to see the strength of the Turks and his own strength!
Li Junyan didn't care about Ashina Nuji's answer. He seemed to have realized something and said, "Since the eldest prince is not sending you off sincerely, then take him away. The goddess will not treat you with disdain."
Ashina Nuji's face suddenly turned ugly.
He has already brought the things, and Li Junyan also said that the goddess would like them. If he takes the things away at this time, how will the goddess look at him?
"Your Highness, you are joking. Since these things are given to the goddess, why would she take them away?
I just don't know how to get these things into the hands of the goddess."
Li Junyan looked at him with interest, "Prince, are you afraid that I will seize these things?"
"I didn't say that," Ashina Nuji denied flatly. "I just wanted to see the goddess's methods."
He said it seriously, but everyone present knew the truth.
Li Junyan looked at the goddess statue and said slowly, "Since the eldest prince is worried about me, then let the goddess appear and take away the gift you gave me!"
These words sounded like they were spoken to Ashina Nuji, but Sang Jueqian knew in her heart that Li Junyan was talking to her.
Since Li Junyan said so, Sang Jueqian had nothing to hesitate about and simply reached his hand in.
A big hand suddenly appeared in the hall, scaring Ashina Nuji and the people he brought with him.
But after the initial shock, Ashina Nuji's eyes began to shine, while the others simply knelt on the ground, constantly saying words like "Greetings to the Goddess" and "Good luck to the Goddess".
Sang Jueqian ignored them and put his hands next to the boxes.
The moment he touched the boxes, he put all of them into the space.
Watching the row of boxes disappear before his eyes, Ashina Nuji became even more excited.
The goddess accepted his offering. Does that mean she has recognized him?
Ashina Nuji subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.
Shaving my beard was the right decision!
Without the beard, his handsome face is fully revealed, even the goddess will be attracted by him!
With this in mind, Ashina Nuji knelt down again and said, "Goddess, would you allow me to worship your statue in the Turkic Goddess Temple?
Can the goddess protect the Turks and bring blessings to all the Turkic people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Junyan's chuckle was heard in the hall.
"It turns out the eldest prince wasn't offering tribute sincerely, he was just exchanging benefits!"
When his thoughts were exposed, a flash of shame and anger crossed Ashina Nuji's face, but he quickly returned to normal.
"What reason does Prince Chen have to say this to me? What's the difference between you and me?"
Li Junyan put away the smile on his face and answered seriously, word by word, "They are fundamentally different."
"Oh." Ashina Nuji sneered, "Tingzhou and Xizhou have both suffered from severe drought for three years and an earthquake, and your Great Zhou court doesn't care at all.
Prince Chen was able to rebuild the two states so quickly, and with so many things that had never been heard of or seen before, wasn't this a gift from the goddess?
You can exchange with the goddess, but I can't?"
When asked this by Ashina Nuji, Li Junyan's eyes did not evade at all, "This king has something to ask of the goddess, but it is never for himself, but for the people of Xizhou and Tingzhou.
Everything I do is to enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, without any selfish motive.
The purpose of forging weapons with the help of the goddess was only to enhance the strength of the Great Zhou, to deter enemies with ulterior motives, and to have the ability to protect themselves when others attacked. He never thought of using weapons to attack other countries.
If what I said is all false, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me so much?"
Ashina Nuji wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he said nothing in the end.
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Li Junyan said was true.
But he would absolutely not want to let go of this opportunity.
It is obvious that this can make the Turks stronger, and after strengthening their strength, they can destroy the Great Zhou in one fell swoop. Why not do this?
Ashina Nuji looked at the goddess statue and said, "I'm asking about the goddess. Your Majesty, please be quiet. Do you really think you can represent the goddess's wishes?"
Goddess, if you don't want me to worship you in Turkic, just shake your head!"
Sang Jueqian, "..."
The goddess statue is carved out of jade, how could she possibly shake her head?
This Ashina Nuji said this on purpose!
