Li Shiyue straightened up and turned to look at the man who had spoken. Judging from his appearance, he should also be a general, as he was wearing military uniform.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have genuinely wanted to laugh.
No, sir, don't you know what kind of occasion this is?
You dare to make trouble for me right in front of the Prince of Zhenbei?
I, well, I am indeed a young girl, that's true, after all, this is what I look like.
I was born a woman, this is who I am!
But why am I standing here as a woman? Sir, do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know?
I, Li Shiyue, single-handedly defeated eight Turkic princes and won!
With this, do you still think I, a mere young woman, am worthy or not?
No, are you still thinking?
Li Shiyue looked at the man who had spoken with great surprise. She thought to herself, "This is so interesting, haha."
She didn't say anything in response; there was really no need for her to.
She simply turned her head back to look at the Prince of Zhenbei sitting at the head of the table. The Prince of Zhenbei received Li Shiyue's gaze and saw the eagerness in Li Shiyue's eyes. He also wanted to test Li Shiyue's abilities again.
At the same time, the reason he had Liu Shu tell Li Shiyue to attend the New Year's banquet at the Prince's Mansion was indeed that he wanted to use Li Shiyue as a living advertisement to attract capable people to him.
But he wanted to recruit truly capable people, not to listen to flattery.
Therefore, through the silent exchange of glances, Li Shiyue saw the Prince of Zhenbei nod slightly.
Having received permission, Li Shiyue smiled, a smile that stunned many people present.
Ma San was so anxious that he was practically scratching his head in frustration, and he was just short of calling out to Li Shiyue.
"Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!
You still have time to laugh?
That person is insulting you!
Li Shiyue smiled and turned around, walking towards the man who had said that she, a mere young woman, was not worthy of attending the banquet.
After taking only a few steps, Li Shiyue stopped in front of the man's small table and pointed at herself: "Is this general saying that I, Li Shiyue, a woman, am not worthy to stand in this hall?"
As Li Shiyue asked this question, her eyebrows curved and the corners of her mouth turned up. Her beaming smile was, to be honest, quite pretty.
"right!
I'm talking about you!
Didn't you win the contest with the Turkic prince by sheer luck and cleverness?
I wasn't there at the time, but if I had been, you would have won much more spectacularly!
You little wench, you've never even been on a battlefield, you'd probably cry at the sight of blood, wouldn't you?
I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up and...
Before the man could finish speaking, Li Shiyue suddenly kicked him to the ground.
nimbly leaping over the small table, Li Shiyue raised her foot and pressed it against the man's face. Standing high above him, she smiled and said, "My official rank was personally bestowed upon me by the Prince!"
The prince is magnanimous and does not judge people based on gender or age!
I, Li Shiyue, am deeply grateful that Your Highness is willing to give me, a mere young lady, a chance!
I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness!
Oh.
But who do you think you are?
How dare you criticize me, your auntie?
Li Shiyue's kick was too fast; by the time the onlookers reacted, the man was already on the ground.
The soldiers around them seemed to know this man well. Seeing him fall to the ground, they looked like they wanted to stop Li Shiyue, but before they could say anything or make a move, Li Shiyue jumped over the small table and stomped on the soldier's face with her foot. She even spun her ankle and stepped half a circle on the soldier's face.
Moreover, he said those words.
Yes, even though Li Shiyue looks like a young girl, the prince approves of her!
Their seats are so far back, they must only be minor officials of the seventh or eighth rank.
Because the Prince of Zhenbei gave Li Shiyue a sixth-rank official position, they were resentful and instigated this fool to step forward.
Who knew that Li Shiyue, this little girl, was not only easily provoked, but also dared to make a move in front of the Prince of Zhenbei!
Li Shiyue glanced back and forth at the soldiers. She knew that this kick was not going to work.
Martial artists of this rank don't have the brains to think about why.
Even someone with a brain can't be controlled by just a few words!
How can we convince them?
There's no other way but to subdue them by force.
So, Li Shiyue squatted down and grabbed the soldier by the neck, then stood up.
She actually lifted this soldier, who was taller and stronger than her, up by the neck with just one hand!
What's rather comical is that this soldier was much taller than her, and even when Li Shiyue lifted him up with one hand, his feet were still dragging on the ground.
The soldier, still dazed from Li Shiyue's kick, heard her say with a grin, "This old lady may not have been on the battlefield, but it's not like this old lady hasn't killed barbarians!"
As Li Shiyue said this with a smile, her other hand was also busy. She raised her hand and slapped people across the face, one slap after the other, the "slap slap" sounds coming in turn, very rhythmically.
"As long as Your Highness allows me to go to the battlefield, I will be the sword in Your Highness's hand!"
Wherever the prince points, I'll chop!
Is your great-aunt afraid of blood?
Haha, your grandma will cry?
The slaps were relentless, causing blood to gush from the soldier's nose, and anyone with eyes could see that his cheeks were swollen badly.
If Li Shiyue hit him a few more times, she would knock out all his teeth.
"Come on, say it again so I can hear it?"
"Your grandma is standing right here, so what are you going to say?"
The person had been knocked unconscious, yet Li Shiyue was still there, grinning and asking, "Why don't you say something?"
Turning back, Li Shiyue said to the Prince of Zhenbei at the head of the table, "Your Highness, you see, he knows he said the wrong thing and dares not say anything more."
What could the Prince of Zhenbei say in response to Li Shiyue's words?
Of course he knew that Li Shiyue was powerful and strong, after all, he had personally witnessed how Li Shiyue had sent eight Turkic princes flying and kicked them out of the circle with one punch and one kick.
However, he did not expect that, right in front of him at this banquet, Li Shiyue would beat him without hesitation, not only beating him beyond recognition, but also having the nerve to tell him, "He was the one who didn't dare to speak."
Although he did nod to Li Shiyue before, he only meant that he wanted Li Shiyue to argue with that person, not that he wanted Li Shiyue to take action.
However, Li Shiyue's behavior and actions have reassured the Prince of Zhenbei. At least Li Shiyue is now showing himself to be a useful person who "knows how to repay kindness" and can be used as a weapon.
"Your Highness, how about having October add some festivities to this banquet?"
Could the Prince of Zhenbei say no?
He could only watch as Li Shiyue let go, and the man, whose face had been beaten beyond recognition, fell to the ground.
"What does Lieutenant Li mean? How should this entertainment be conducted?"
"Your Highness, although our Great Long has established friendly trade relations with the Turks, as warriors, we cannot slack off in our skills even when we are not at war!"
The sparring between military generals is quite entertaining!
I think it's perfect for a New Year's Eve banquet!
I imagine there must be more than one person who is dissatisfied with the official position the prince gave me.
"Now, I, the captain, will show you why His Highness has such discerning eyes that he immediately recognized my potential!"
After bowing to the Prince of Zhenbei, she turned around and said contemptuously to the seated low-ranking military officers, "You're not convinced?"
Come on, anyone who disagrees, come at me!
Today, I, Li Shiyue, will show you exactly how I overthrow eight Turkic princes!
"Crack!" It was the sound of something breaking and falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a man shouted "Good!" and stood up.
Lieutenant Li is so magnanimous!
Zhang Dayong, a seventh-rank brigade commander, stepped forward to learn from him!
