(Thanks to wwxsod for casting a monthly vote.)
As soon as the Great Khan of the Turks said those words, Li Shiyue felt there was a trap in them!
What good could a foreign leader who can speak Chinese and knows about auspicious symbols possibly have in mind?
Sure enough, before the Prince of Zhenbei could say anything, the Great Khan of the Turks loudly asked the Turkic men beside him, "Is it good or bad? Do you think what I said is good or bad?"
What would those Turkic men say?
Some shouted "good!" loudly, while others, who couldn't even say "good," just yelled "ah ah!"
When the Great Khan of the Turks turned back, he heard the Prince of Zhenbei ask him, "Oh? It's good to have a prize. I wonder what the Khan would like to use as the prize?"
"Haha, haha," the Great Khan of the Turks laughed as he faced the Prince of Zhenbei and pointed to a Turkic man with a high nose bridge beside him. "Your Highness, look, this is my son. He is not outstanding in anything else, but he has been strong since he was a child!"
With that strength, Sher had never lost a wrestling match since he was a child!
The Prince of Zhenbei glanced at the burly man named She'er and understood the meaning of the Great Khan of the Turks: the second round would allow their two sons to compete in wrestling.
The Prince of Zhenbei was quite confident in Liu Tan's martial arts skills, after all, Liu Tan's position as a general was not simply because he was his son.
Liu Tan's position as a general was earned through his own hard work and military achievements, which led to his appointment by the imperial court.
The Prince of Zhenbei nodded to the Great Khan of the Turks, "What is the Khan's prize?"
"Haha, if we win, then let my son marry your daughter;"
"If you win, then let your son marry my daughter, how about that?"
Before the Prince of Zhenbei could answer, the Great Khan of the Turks turned to look at Yan Jiuniang behind Liu Tan and asked, "Is that the Prince's daughter?"
Haha, I believe my son will definitely win!
Although the female guards, Li Shiyue, and Li Qiutian were all riding with Yan Jiuniang, it was clear from their attire that Yan Jiuniang, a young woman with a slightly dark complexion but dressed in luxurious clothes, was a member of the Zhenbei Prince's family.
The Prince of Zhenbei was angry. He did not respond to the words of the Turkic Khan. In the Prince of Zhenbei’s view, even if he did not like Yan Jiuniang, his disobedient daughter, she was still his bloodline. How could he let his bloodline be with the barbarians?
Not to mention, the Sun family in Guanzhong is waiting for Yan Jiuniang to marry into their family. How could they allow Yan Jiuniang to marry a barbarian at this time?
With a stiff face, the Prince of Zhenbei clearly disagreed with the Great Khan of the Turks, but he couldn't bring himself to say no in this situation.
Finally, facing the gaze of the Turkic Khan, the Prince of Zhenbei could only force a smile and explain to the Turkic Khan: "The marriage of one's children should not be used as a prize indiscriminately."
"Unfortunately, my daughter," Zhenbei Wang gestured to Yan Jiuniang behind the Turkic Khan, "is already engaged and will be getting married next year."
How about we change the prize?
I brought a few Akhal-Teke horses with me this time; how about we use them as a lucky draw prize?
Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Zhenbei, the Great Khan of the Turks suddenly changed his expression. Just moments ago he had been smiling, but now he glared at the Prince of Zhenbei and said sternly, "Does Your Highness look down on our Turkic prince?"
If you think my son is not good enough for your daughter, just say so. Why make up such a reason to deceive me?
"Your Highness is showing no sincerity whatsoever. Could this trade agreement also be a scam against us Turks?"
As soon as the Great Khan of the Turks uttered these words, not only the Prince of Zhenbei, but also Liu Tan and Li Shiyue behind Liu Tan were extremely nervous.
The trade agreement was made long ago, and preparations have been underway for so long. We've even summoned so many caravans from all over Dalong. How can we just say that the trade market can't be opened now?
Now that things are so close, we have no choice but to open the trade market, even if it's tough!
So what can the Prince of Zhenbei do?
He could only laugh and say, "Haha, haha, since the Great Khan has said so, then I will agree to your words!"
However, if my son wins, he need not marry; the Khan will simply give him a few of the finest Turkic horses.
"Haha, no problem, no problem!"
Come on, She'er, dismount! You'd better try your best, or you'll get a wife! Haha!
The Prince of Zhenbei turned around and glanced at Liu Tan. Liu Tan then dismounted, and Ma San and Zhao Da quickly stepped forward to help Liu Tan remove his armor.
It's a wrestling match, so how could someone be wrestling while wearing armor?
To everyone's surprise, the Turkic Khan, looking at Liu Tan as he removed his armor, asked the Prince of Zhenbei with a puzzled expression, "Your Highness, what is the General doing here?"
Before the Prince of Zhenbei could speak, the Great Khan of the Turks said with a surprised look, "Could it be that the General wants to wrestle with She'er?"
Your Highness, She'er is my youngest son. He's only fifteen. How could he possibly defeat a seasoned general?
Wasn't the prince's youngest son here? Shouldn't it be him fighting She'er?
Li Shiyue watched the Turkic Khan's dramatic performance from the back, her emotions fluctuating. Just then, as the Turkic Khan pointed at Liu Shu, the system in Li Shiyue's mind beeped: "Situation triggered, mission detected. The original male lead, Liu Shu, is in danger. Please actively accept the challenge for the male lead, Liu Shu, and let him know your feelings of love!"
Once the host accepts the challenge, the task is considered complete, and the host will receive 200 points and one chance to draw a prize!
Please complete the tasks diligently and become a favored concubine as soon as possible!
"X, System, are you crazy?"
What kind of garbage task did you send out?!
What kind of occasion is this? What right do I have to speak up? You're asking me to take the challenge for the male lead?
Are you crazy?
If I accept the challenge for the male lead, does that scumbag think I'm in love with him?
Am I crazy, or is the male lead crazy?
X! X! X!
Upon hearing the mission issued by the scumbag commander, Li Shiyue's face immediately darkened, even more so than Yan Jiu's beside him.
Yan Jiuniang's face had already darkened when she heard that the Great Khan of the Turks wanted to use her marriage as a prize. She had secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the Prince of Zhenbei's refusal.
Who knew that the Turkic Khan had ill intentions and was deliberately using her as a pawn to test the Prince of Zhenbei.
Unfortunately, as a woman, she couldn't utter a single word in such a situation, even though they were discussing her marriage!
Therefore, Yan Jiuniang's face was so dark at this moment that it looked as if a dark aura was spreading around her.
Li Shiyue's expression darkened further. Only then did she realize that the scumbag system in her mind was not only scumbag, but also an idiot!
The tasks that the scumbag leader gave her in the past were tolerable, at least she managed to get through them by chance. But this task today, is this even a task?
This is hardly a mission.
This is going to kill her!
