Chapter 247 I am right here, and I will grant you the military rank of Zhaowu Colonel!
(Thanks to reader 20210503111517010 for casting 8 monthly tickets.)
The harsh environment of the nomadic peoples on the grasslands has shaped their attitude of admiration, submission, and fear towards the strong.
Even though Li Shiyue was just a thin and weak-looking girl, they were still impressed that she could defeat eight of them, who were tall, strong and powerful, all by herself!
Even if she is a woman, she still has respect for the strong!
Therefore, Li Shiyue was given the opportunity to personally present the prize for the competition by the Great Khan of the Turks.
Li Shiyue took the longbow (a compound recurve bow, about 1.4m tall) from the Great Khan of the Turks. It was not heavy. She then used her other hand to hold the crescent-shaped scimitar (about 80cm long).
Then she even gained the approval of the Turkic Khan, who exclaimed, "This Han Chinese woman is so capable; it truly surprises me!"
After saying this, the Great Khan of the Turks punched his left chest with his right fist, saying, "Thank you for showing them mercy!"
Holding a bow in his left hand and a knife in his right, Li Shiyue was unable to return the greeting with his hands, so he could only bow his head to show his respect.
Turning back, the Great Khan of the Turks began to set traps for others again. He looked at the Prince of Zhenbei and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, your warrior is so brave and powerful that he won my longbow and scimitar, and secured a marriage for your daughter. How will you reward her?"
Before the Prince of Zhenbei could speak, the Great Khan of the Turks continued, "If this is a warrior of our Turks, I will definitely recruit her into my ranks and make her my female general!"
Who knows, under her leadership, even the women of our grasslands might be able to take up arms and ride horses to conquer new territories for us!
At this moment, Li Shiyue couldn't help but admire the Great Khan of the Turks!
Not only could he understand and speak Chinese, but he also understood the principles of righteousness and knew about things like expanding territory!
It is important to know that the Great Khan of the Turks was the king of the Turks, just like the emperor of the Dalong Dynasty. He was the supreme ruler of the Turks.
But what about the Prince of Zhenbei?
The Prince of Zhenbei is just a prince of the Dalong Dynasty!
An emperor can say things like "expanding territory," but can a prince do that?
If Your Highness is capable, wouldn't that mean you're rebelling against the emperor and want to become emperor yourself?
Yes, the Prince of Zhenbei is planning to marry Yan Jiuniang off to the Sun family in Guanlong to secure their iron mines and gain benefits. Anyone with eyes can see that the Prince of Zhenbei is planning to rebel against Emperor Liu Heng, just like the previous rebel king, Prince Jing'an Liu Xin!
But as long as this rebellion hasn't occurred, it can't be spoken of.
The Great Khan of the Turks is setting a trap for the Prince of Zhenbei!
In the blink of an eye, Li Shiyue figured out the trap, but!
Whether Zhenbei Wang joins the fandom or not, what does it have to do with her?
What she needs to do is take this opportunity to get something in return!
After all, he had used up all the internal energy he had cultivated using the "Sunflower Manual" today.
So, it's not unreasonable to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
So, Li Shiyue really knelt down incredibly fast!
After handing the longbow and scimitar to Li Xiatian, she stepped forward and knelt on one knee before the Prince of Zhenbei. Li Shiyue then bowed and said, "Li Shiyue is willing to serve Your Highness with utmost loyalty!"
How could Li Shiyue possibly serve the Prince of Zhenbei in any way? But in front of everyone, he had to make his act genuine.
So, after saying this, Li Shiyue raised her head and, putting on her best acting, looked at the Prince of Zhenbei with hopeful eyes.
Is Li Shiyue begging to join the Prince of Zhenbei's ranks?
fart!
She's using the Turkic Khan's influence to pressure the Prince of Zhenbei!
Today, she stepped forward when the Crown Prince Liu Shu was asked by the Great Khan of the Turks to participate in the competition. Regardless of her reasons for stepping forward, whether it was to stand up for her friend Yan Jiuniang or to take this opportunity to show herself, she didn't care.
Tell me, did she really take down those eight Turkic men all by herself?
Did she win standing up?
That's enough!
Today, right now, she is a meritorious official of the Prince of Zhenbei!
If the Prince of Zhenbei doesn't bleed a little today and give Li Shiyue a satisfactory benefit in front of everyone, how will the Prince of Zhenbei, the King of Andong, be able to order people to do things for him in the future?
What is the most important thing for those in positions of power?
Benevolence?
Forget it!
It's about the ability to distribute benefits!
We must be clear about rewards and punishments!
Li Shiyue rescued them from dire straits, and through the words of the Turkic Khan, he truly won by relying on his own strength!
This ensured that the Prince of Zhenbei did not lose face in the second round of the competition!
Let this long-prepared trade fair continue!
How could the Prince of Zhenbei not reward Li Shiyue?
Of course, if he were to offer Li Shiyue a few fine horses and a few hundred taels of silver as a reward, that would be acceptable.
After all, Li Shiyue was just an ordinary girl with some strength.
She's not a soldier. If it were Ma San who was competing today, and Ma San won, the Prince of Zhenbei would be so pleased that he would promote Ma San by two ranks and petition the Ministry of Personnel for a reward. That would be perfectly acceptable.
but!
Yes, but! The Great Khan of the Turks has set a trap for the Prince of Zhenbei!
If Li Shiyue doesn't seize this golden opportunity, wouldn't he be blaming himself for not taking advantage of it?
After completing these system tasks, Li Shiyue was truly fed up with Liu Shu's ugly appearance, and she began to crave power!
She didn't just want to leverage Liu Tan's power; she wanted to be the one with power herself!
So, the pressure is now on the Prince of Zhenbei. How will he reward Li Shiyue?
The Prince of Zhenbei was truly in a dilemma. If he simply gave Li Shiyue some money and goods and sent him away, no one would say anything to his face.
But behind his back, someone must have said a few words about him, saying that as a prince and the lord of Andong, he was stingy and not a person who could reward or punish fairly.
But if he really fell into the trap set by the Great Khan of the Turks and gave Li Shiyue, this girl, a position, would it really be necessary for the Prince of Zhenbei?
One radish, one hole; Li Shiyue has taken the position, so how will the Prince of Zhenbei take it back in the future?
And, a woman?
Does he really want to bring a woman under his command?
Even though Li Shiyue is not an ordinary woman, but a woman with great strength and speed who can defeat eight Turkic warriors single-handedly!
However, Li Shiyue, who had only been kneeling on one knee for three or four breaths, heard it. The hearty laughter of the Prince of Zhenbei rang in his ears.
The Prince of Zhenbei walked towards her, bowed his head, and helped Li Shiyue, who was kneeling on one knee, up with both hands.
"Good! Good! Good!"
With a brave and courageous woman like Li Shiyue in my Andong, who is no less than any man, how could Andong not prosper? How could Dalong not flourish!
You have done a great service today! A truly great service!
I am here to grant you the honorary military rank of Zhaowu Xiaowei!
"I wish you to hone your skills and repay the nation's kindness in the future!"
