Chapter 1,123

When Lu Xiang heard this from behind, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter today has nothing to do with King Yi and his wife. It is really Xiahou Danruo who is too arrogant..."

Before Prime Minister Lu could finish speaking, Emperor Wu An interrupted him and shouted angrily: "What's wrong with the arrogance? Think about it with your brains. In my territory of Western Qin, if they dare to be arrogant, what are they fighting for?"

"Prince Ning, that hairy boy, dares to enter the palace and make a bet with me, saying that they will definitely win the siege competition! This is not only arrogant, but also does not take you into consideration at all!"

"If you want me to uphold justice for you, then win this game! Otherwise, what confidence do I have to speak for you?"

Emperor Wu An became angry when he thought about what Prince Ning said to him.

Although Prince Ning had a humble tone and raised the stakes, he had a look of disdain as if Western Qin was not as good as Eastern Qi.

Emperor Wu An indeed spoke his mind. For a country to be strong, it must be stronger than others in all aspects before it can stand up straight and speak, otherwise it will all be a bluff.

As soon as Ling Yu heard this, he realized that his previous guess was correct. Emperor Wu'an was also bloody. How could he swallow his anger and not punish Xiahou Danruo for no reason?

The emperor scolded himself before, saying that he would be beheaded in public and demoted Xiao Lintian to a commoner. This was just a way to provoke the general, and Xiao Lintian could only think of ways to win!

"Father, forgive Lingyu for talking too much. Since there is a bet, there is a stake. I wonder what Prince Ning will bet on?"

Ling Yu thought of Emperor Wu An's excitement and couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Wu An gave Ling Yu a childish eye roll, but the corners of his lips still couldn't help but turn up.

Ever since Ling Yu noticed that he had white hair, Emperor Wu An felt inexplicably closer to Ling Yu.

He felt that this child was the one who really cared about him!

Now seeing that everyone had not understood his intention, Ling Yu reacted cleverly, and Emperor Wu An was even more pleased.

He couldn't control his excitement and said: "Two cities!"

"Prince Ning said that if they lose the siege competition, he will give us the two neighboring cities!"

"On the other hand, if we lose, we will also cede two cities to them!"

"Father, this is not allowed!"

King Wei couldn't help but shouted: "Even if the city on the border is a remote place in the wilderness, it is also a military fortress. How can it be used as a bet?"

King Kang also frowned: "Father, isn't this too childish! Since it was Princess Yi who offended Dong Qi, it's enough to let Princess Yi go and apologize. Why gamble with two cities!"

"Father, you didn't promise them, did you?"

Emperor Wu'an looked at the two princes who were eager to speak. Their faces were expressionless, but a strong sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

How could he, who is so wise and great, have given birth to these two things who are afraid of trouble and have no foresight!

Zhao Hui pursed his lips, winked at Prince Kang, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, so there is a deep meaning in agreeing to the bet!"

King Kang was stunned, but for the moment he couldn't figure out what the deep meaning behind his father's bet on the city.

Emperor Wu'an silently glanced at Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui had made the point so obvious, but King Kang had not yet reacted. This really made him not know what to say.

"Fourth, what do you think?"

Emperor Wu'an turned his attention to Xiao Lintian. If Xiao Lintian is still as ignorant as King Kang and others, his father has failed too much!

Xiao Lintian has been thinking about it since Ling Yu said about the bet.

At this time, seeing Emperor Wu'an asking himself, he said: "Father, King Ning is betting on the city of Linyang. They are just like us. If they lose, they will also lose on the military fortress!"

"They can afford to bet on this, and we can afford to lose!"

"But if Xiahou Danruo kills someone first, and Prince Ning doesn't show some sincerity, this bet will be unfair to us!"

"I thought about it for a while. Could it be that the city that King Ning took out was Mohe City, which is adjacent to Jingzhou?"
