Chapter 219: A big gamble! (9)
"Okay!" before anyone else could say anything else, Gelie had already raised his hands, "I would like to ask everyone to bear witness to Gelie. If Gelie is better than Mr. Xiao on the shooting range today, Princess Ruoxue is Gelie."
of people!"
"I haven't agreed yet, so why is Ruoxue yours!" The Imperial Forest Army was divided on the left and right. Accompanied by the Queen and his favorite concubine Ning Guifei, Qin Jia, the Emperor of Chu, strode to the main seat in front of the tent.
Seeing him, everyone stood up and bowed to him respectfully.
The emperor Qin Jia always valued martial arts and recognized the virtuous, and did not pay much attention to the so-called royal etiquette. Except for large-scale sacrifices and court gatherings, he did not require officials to kneel when they saw him.
"Dear Your Majesty!" Gelie pressed his right hand on his chest and saluted Qin Jia according to the etiquette on the grassland. "Just now, you all bet on me and Mr. Xiao's riding and shooting skills. Princess Ruoxue bet on me. Everyone can hear that.
Clearly, your Majesty also knows that I am very enamored of Princess Ruoxue. The princess will be fifteen years old by the end of the year. According to the rules of our grasslands, she will also be an adult. Gelie begs the Emperor to grant her permission!"
These words seemed polite on the surface, but in fact they were a bit harsh.
The grassland tribes have been subservient to Da Chu for hundreds of years. In recent years, with the rise of Gelie and his tribe, their attitude has become increasingly tough, and they have had several conflicts with Da Chu's northwest army.
During the autumn hunting last year, Gelie had already met Qin Ruoxue. After returning, he immediately sent someone to bring gifts to propose marriage. Qin Jia only refused because Ruoxue was still young.
At this time, the domestic situation in Dachu was unstable. In addition, the Southern Tang Dynasty was eyeing him, and there were reports of movements from the snowy barbarians in the north. It could be said to be external and internal troubles. At this time, Qin Jia naturally could no longer offend the future leader of the grassland.
King, otherwise we will be attacked from three sides.
Looking at his daughter, Qin Jia sighed in his heart, but still had a faint smile on his face, "Since it is Ruoxue's decision, naturally I, as a father, cannot stop it. I hope His Highness Gelie will never lose to
Xiao Yao, otherwise, this matter will not be decided by me by then!"
"Since everyone wants to place bets, I am here to join in the fun. Xiao Yao is not only a student of Qianqiu College, but also a member of the great Chu. As an emperor, I naturally have to protect my people. I will bet that Xiao Yao will win.
, As for the bet!" At this point, Qin Jia's eyes naturally fell on Xiao Yao, "As long as Xiao Yao wins this game, you can ask me to do something at will, as long as it does not harm the country.
I will agree without hesitation!"
Xiao Yao is a smart man, how could he not hear what Qin Jia is saying.
For the sake of this land, Qin Jia could not refuse Gelie, but as a father, how could he be willing to let his only daughter marry away from home? And the only one who could change all this now was Xiao Yao, so he did not hesitate to give
Such a huge bargaining chip means that Xiao Yao must win this game no matter what!
This bet is far better than all previous bets.
What does a promise from Emperor Dachu mean?
As long as Xiao Yao wins this battle, she can get wind and rain, and make a generation of monarchs owe her a favor.
Holding his fists respectfully, Xiao Yao solemnly bowed to Qin Jia and saluted, "The emperor has high hopes, Xiao Yao will definitely go all out!"
"Okay!" Qin Jia squatted down and sat on the dragon chair, "I tell you that the Autumn Hunting Conference has begun!"
