With such a king and such methods, Lu Dongzan knew very well that he could only stabilize his position by succeeding again and again.
After all, in the eyes of the extremely utilitarian ruler, losers are trash that should be swept into the old paper pile.
If this time, I came with the confidence to win, but in the end, not only did I not marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Instead, he wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of Tubo. Lu Dongzan did not think that his end would be much better than that of Shang Nang.
He glanced at the man next to him who was in his prime years of youth, and his future achievements would probably be no less than those of his own son Qin Ling.
Then my son's originally bright future may become gloomy because of his loss of power.
Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan clenched his hands into fists. For himself and for his children, he could only win and must win.
Li Ke saw Nalu Dongzan's face, which was gloomy and uncertain, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth and full of fighting spirit.
He walked up to Brother Chu Bi who was leisurely drinking tea soup and kept glancing behind His Majesty secretly, and whispered.
"Brother Chu Bi, are you sure about the next match?"
Cheng Chubi explained very confidently.
"Of course I am sure. Believe me, if you want a lamb to recognize its mother, it can be solved in just a few breaths of time."
"Really or not, brother Chu Bi, you have never been involved in herding."
Cheng Chubi looked at this outstanding royal toolman and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and stay still, don't stop me from drinking tea and resting."
"..." Li Ke helplessly sat down next to him. Since Brother Chu Bi was unwilling to tell him the answer, he could only hope that he was not pretending to be awesome, but that he was really awesome.
Ever since Cheng Sanlang required the royal family members to have a glass of milk every day, he strengthened a group of people.
The number of ewes in the palace became very considerable, so it was not difficult to get fifty ewes.
Cheng Sanlang and Lu Dongzan only rested for a while before Zhao Kun rushed over and reported that fifty ewes and two lambs had been brought to the square outside Zhenguan Hall.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, patted the table and stood up. He glanced at the civil and military officials, as well as the envoys from the Tibetan countries, and then strode towards the outside of Zhenguan Hall.
The judges will probably ask why not all fifty ewes and lambs were brought into Zhenguan Hall.
Well, if they poop and scatter in this Zhenguan Hall, making it stink full of sheep odor, what will they do this morning?
Therefore, the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, who were thinking normally, quickly arrived at the entrance of the hall. On the left side of the steps below, five eunuchs, each holding ten ewes, stood aside.
There are also two eunuchs, each holding a lamb in their hands, standing at the bottom of the steps on the right side, so distinct.
#####
Li Shimin glanced at his daughter beside him, saw the eunuch uniform she was wearing, and subconsciously wanted to put his own coat on her body.
Fortunately, Li Shimin finally remembered that it seemed a little inappropriate for his daughter's identity to be exposed, so he urged her straightforwardly.
"Okay, this third battle begins now."
The moment they heard Li Shimin speak, Cheng Sanlang and Lu Dongzan looked at each other, and both of them quickly walked down the stairs without hesitation.
In Lu Dongzan's hand, he was already quietly holding a piece of cheese, which was naturally made of goat's milk.
While he quickly walked down the steps, he glanced at Cheng Sanlang beside him and saw that this guy was empty-handed.
The corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth couldn't help but light up happily, and Cheng Sanlang took a big step past him.
He couldn't help but wonder, how could this kid call the ewe when he was so empty-handed?
Not only did he think so, but the people standing on the steps of Zhenguan Hall were also looking down curiously.
After all, Cheng Sanlang was empty-handed and had no experience in animal husbandry. What kind of methods could he use to help the lambs find their mothers?
"Master Zhijie, can your third child succeed in this game?" Liu Hongji on the side couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"If you bet a Tongbao, my third son will definitely win." General Cheng stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and whispered in a low voice.
"..." A group of wealthy and powerful military officials gave the shameless Cheng Yaojin a look of disdain.
"What kind of gambling is this? For one penny, no one can afford to lose face like this. It should be ten cents at least.
At this moment, Cheng Sanlang reached into his arms, took out a bamboo tube, pulled out the stopper, and took out a slender silver needle from inside.
Then, in front of the eunuch who was holding the lamb, he slapped the lamb hard on the hindquarters.
The lamb, who originally had an innocent and ignorant look on his face and was looking around, suddenly bulged his eyes, raised his voice, bleated, and kept jumping on the spot.
Next to him, he was holding the piece of goat cheese and teasing the lamb, hoping to make the lamb anxious. Lu Dongzan, who called the ewe with a cry, looked over there in confusion.
At this time, a eunuch holding a ewe on the opposite side suddenly screamed strangely.
A ewe jumped like crazy, trying to get the rope out of the eunuch's hand.
Then he buried his head and rushed towards Cheng Sanlang.
"!!!" The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of various Tibetan states, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty who were standing outside Zhenguan Hall were all confused at this moment.
Everyone looked dumbfounded as the ewe with full anger rushed towards Cheng Sanlang.
Cheng Sanlang lowered his body, then used one arm to stop the ewe who loved his son and daughter and jumped out for revenge, while he couldn't wait to shout loudly.
"Your Majesty, I have already won, hey, hey, hey..."
Not far away, Lu Dongzan stared blankly at the angry ewe over there, trying to hit Cheng Sanlang with its head.
The whole person's mentality exploded once again. Can you, damn girl, follow the methods of a gentle man? Can you stop being so shameless and using such coquettish methods?
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seeing that Cheng Sanlang was being attacked again and again by the angry ewe, all the ministers around him were already laughing.
Even Wu Meiniang and Li Mingda couldn't hold it back, and laughed as loudly as silver bells. Fortunately, they were covered up by the heroic laughter of those rough men, and no one noticed anything strange.
Li Daozong wiped away the tears from his laughter and raised his thumbs towards Cheng Yaojin. As expected of the Cheng family, it was indeed not something ordinary people could do.
"In this round, Cheng Sanlang was the first to find the mother of the lamb. Therefore, Cheng Sanlang should be the winner in this round. Do you think so?"
