Hao Ziyi's coming-of-age ceremony attracted both Xianbei Khan Yu Manhe and Dashan Yu Daji. Not only that, but warriors from each tribe were eager to marry the little princess of the Wuhuan tribe.
At the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, Zhang Beichen saw Hao Ziyi again. She looked a little depressed.
Zhang Beichen asked: "Ziyi, the coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon, aren't you happy?"
Hao Ziyi was a little depressed and said, "Why are you happy? I don't want to marry a man I don't know!"
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "The person who marries you must be a warrior from the tribe!"
"So what?" Hao Ziyi pouted and said, "They are all like idiots. They only know how to fight and kill people. They don't take showers and they have no brains. Compared with brother Beichen, they are so far behind!"
As a little princess of the Wuhuan tribe, Hao Ziyi has met many so-called tribal warriors. But every one of them she likes, these tribal warriors enjoy eating meat, drinking wine, and killing people with large swords.
Problems were always solved arbitrarily by force, which made Hao Ziyi, who had studied the culture of the Central Plains, find it very vulgar.
She believes that such a person cannot be called a warrior at all, but a reckless man and a common man!
Just like the Great Chanyu Daji, he always considered himself to be the strongest person in the East Hu and was looked down upon by everyone. However, in recent years, he suffered several defeats at the hands of the Xiongnu Chanyu Maotai.
Zhang Beichen sighed, looked at the sky, and said, "But I am a hostage from the State of Yan."
"But my father and Shanyu both trust you!" Hao Ziyi mustered up the courage to say, "Brother Beichen, in Ziyi's heart, you are the real warrior!"
"Ah?" Zhang Beichen looked at her doubtfully.
Hao Ziyi suddenly blushed. She handed Zhang Beichen a black hair rope and whispered: "Brother Beichen, you can also come to participate in the competition. Ziyi is willing to wait for you!"
After saying this, Hao Ziyi mounted his horse and disappeared in a hurry.
Zhang Beichen looked at his hand and saw that this black hair rope was obviously made by Hao Ziyi using his own hair. Although Donghu did not have the culture of the Central Plains where "the hair and skin of the body are received by the parents", they also cherished their own body tissues.
The meaning of giving one's own hair rope in the Wuhuan tribe is probably a way for a girl to express her love to the person she admires.
"Let me participate in the martial arts competition?" Zhang Beichen muttered in his heart, which means that the Donghu tribe will be divided because of this!
…
[A few days later, Wuhuan tribe, Wuhuan Shanyu Hao Zhen personally held a coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter Hao Ziyi, and the leaders of the Donghu tribes gathered together. 】
Dadan Yu Daji also came. He wanted to marry Hao Ziyi directly, but according to the rules, if he wanted to marry Hao Ziyi, he had to compete in a martial arts contest.
Only the strongest warriors are qualified to win Hao Ziyi.
Although Daji is strong, he has been engaging in sensuality and neglecting his practice over the years. Coupled with his increasing age, his level has also dropped from Semi-Saint to Ninth Level.
If you really want to compete in martial arts, firstly, you will be suspected of being overpowered by seniority. Secondly, if you lose, your prestige will be greatly reduced, and you will not even be able to sit firmly in the position of the Great Chanyu.
So, he thought of a way.
Daji has many children, among which the second son Dadata is the most outstanding. Now he has reached the ninth realm and is very powerful.
"Dadatta, you must win this time and marry the daughter of the Hao Zhen family. The Wuhuan tribe is her dowry! If you can do it, my position as the Great Chanyu will be passed on to you in the future!" Daji said to his son.
Hearing this, Dadata was very excited. There were so many children of Daji, all vying for the position of heir.
Now that the opportunity is in front of you, how can you not be rare?
Besides, Hao Ziyi is the most beautiful woman in Donghu, who doesn’t want to marry her?
Dadatta immediately promised: "Father, Dadatta will definitely get it. Hao Ziyi is mine. Anyone who dares to snatch his son will kill him!"
"Well done!" Daji praised, "This is my king's son!"
…
On the other side, Xianbei Khan Yu Manhe is also preparing.
He has been practicing hard and has been waiting for today for several years.
"As long as I marry Hao Ziyi, the Wuhuan tribe will belong to me sooner or later! If I annex the Wuhuan tribe, my power will surpass that of Daji!"
"This guy Daji is becoming more and more useless! He can't even defeat the Huns. If he continues to be king, Donghu will be destroyed by the Huns and the Yan Kingdom sooner or later!"
"The great Chanyu of Donghu can only be me in Manhe!"
Yu Manhe claims to the outside world that his strength is only at the early stage of the Nine Realms, but in fact, his strength has reached the peak of the Nine Realms!
Now among all the tribes in Donghu, he is only worried about Daji!
After all, Daji had reached the semi-saint realm before, so it was still possible to overpower him.
But if you annex the Wuhuan tribe, everything will be no problem!
…
【Hao Ziyi’s coming-of-age ceremony has begun.】
At the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, the people of the Wuhuan tribe danced and sang at the foot of the sacred mountain, praising the mountain god and blessing Hao Ziyi.
Hao Ziyi didn't have much happy expression on her face, she stood glumly.
Today, Dadata, Yu Manhe and others have put down their words and want to marry her back home.
When she saw these people who behaved in a vulgar and barbaric manner, she just felt awkward.
Only when she saw Zhang Beichen did she feel a little comforted. But she was also worried whether Zhang Beichen would participate in the martial arts competition. If he did, what would happen if he was injured by them?
When the ceremony was almost over, Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen stood up and said to everyone: "Thank you Great Chanyu and all the Khans for coming to my Wuhuan tribe to participate in my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony."
"According to the clan rules, we will also recruit a bride for our little girl today. Any tribe and any willing warrior can come to challenge. As long as they can win, they can become my little girl's husband!"
After he finished speaking, many warriors were eager to try.
First, several warriors from the Wuhuan tribe stood up and said to Hao Ziyi: "Holy girl, I like you, and I will marry you home today even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
With that said, they went up to the stage to challenge.
If you want to marry Hao Ziyi, you must first defeat the person Wuhuan Khan arranged to guard the ring. You can't use weapons, just use fists, feet or wrestling until one party admits defeat.
Several weaker warriors were quickly eliminated.
Until Dadata appeared, he looked at Hao Ziyi with aggressive eyes and announced loudly: "Today Hao Ziyi must be my Dadata's bride, no one can take her away!"
With that said, Dadata walked onto the fighting field and defeated the defender in just three rounds.
Several more warriors came to challenge, and Dadata defeated them easily!
"Dadata!"
"Dadatta!" The tribesmen all admired the warrior. They shouted Dadatta's name one after another. The girls wished they could replace Hao Ziyi and marry Dadatta themselves.
Daji was very satisfied. If this continues, the Wuhuan tribe will be annexed by him.
At this time, Xianbei Khan came out of Manhe.
When Daji saw him, he frowned and asked, "Yu Manhe, do you also want to get involved in the Wuhuan tribe's affairs?"
Yu Manhe said: "Da Shanyu, I have admired Miss Hao Ziyi for a long time, so naturally I can't miss this opportunity."
Seeing that he was about to take action, both Hao Zhen and Daji were dissatisfied, but they had no reason to reject him directly.
Daji could only give Dadata one color, Dadata understood it and said: "Yu Manhe Khan, I heard that you are the number one warrior of the Xianbei tribe. I have always wanted to fight you. Today is the day to decide the outcome!" "
Yu Manhe entered the competition venue and fought against Dadata.
Both of them are masters of the Nine Realms. Just the aftermath of the fight caused the earth to shake and no one could stand within a hundred feet!
Zhang Beichen was also watching quietly. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong. Dadata was no match for Yu Manhe.
Daji also saw that Yu Manhe was not at the early stage of the Nine Realms, but at the peak of the Nine Realms!
"This guy is deliberately trying to establish his power!" Daji discovered that Yu Manhe took this opportunity to show his strength to people from various tribes, and Dadata became his stepping stone!
Daji's face darkened. Yu Manhe's behavior showed that he was dissatisfied with him and had thoughts of replacing him!
Sure enough, Yu Manhe quickly pushed Dadata to the brink of failure.
Dadata was unwilling to give in. He was so passionate that he directly burned his essence and blood, and forcibly improved his cultivation level to fight Yu Manhe.
"Stupid!" Daji cursed in his heart. Doesn't burning essence and blood damage one's own foundation?
Dadata's momentum surged, and he punched, and the punch mark was enough to crack mountains and crack rocks!
However, Yu Manhe was stronger. He shattered the fist seal with one palm and knocked Dadata away. Dadata vomited blood and fell unconscious.
Daji's face had become gloomy to the extreme. He was not sure he could defeat Yu Manhe even with the strength he showed just now!
Hao Zhen also felt bad. If Yu Manhe took over his daughter, with the strength of Yu Manhe and the Xianbei tribe, he might become a great chanyu in the future!
But now, if he goes back on his word, Yu Manhe will definitely not do it.
Who can defeat Man He?
Hao Zhen himself is no match for him!
Seeing Yu Manhe's strength, Hao Ziyi also looked desperate. He is so powerful, who can defeat him?
She originally hoped that Zhang Beichen could play, but now that Zhang Beichen plays, doesn't he risk his death?
"Who else?" Yu Manhe shouted to everyone.
No one dared to go up. Even without weapons, it would be easy to defeat Yu Manhe and even kill them!
At this time, Zhang Beichen walked out slowly.
Hao Ziyi kept looking at him. Seeing that Zhang Beichen was about to make a move, he quickly shouted: "Brother Beichen, don't be impulsive!"
With tears in her eyes, she had decided in her heart that if she wanted to marry Yu Manhe, she would kill herself immediately in order to prevent herself from being ruined by him and for the sake of the Wuhuan tribe!
Since he is already about to die, he cannot drag Zhang Beichen down!
"Brother Zhang, don't be impulsive! You are no match for him!" Hao Zhen stopped Zhang Beichen.
"Brother Hao, after we met, I can't just sit back and watch the Wuhuan tribe fall into danger!" Zhang Beichen said, "Besides, I also admire the girl in purple very much!"
Hao Zhen looked hesitant, and there was nothing wrong with letting Hao Ziyi marry Zhang Beichen. Zhang Beichen was a hostage from the Yan Kingdom, and because of this, he had no influence in the local area.
When he married Hao Ziyi, he married into the Wuhuan tribe.
But the key is, can Zhang Beichen really defeat Man He?
Yu Manhe was a little afraid of Zhang Beichen. Over the years, the cavalry trained by Zhang Beichen had become the most powerful cavalry in Donghu, and he himself had the strength of the Nine Realms.
He asked: "How can you, a Central Plains person, be qualified to participate in my Donghu ceremony?"
Zhang Beichen looked at Daji and Hao Zhen and said: "Da Shanyu, Khan, I don't think your rules say that people from the Central Plains are not allowed to participate, right? And I am also the commander-in-chief of Da Chanyu's account now. He is also a member of Donghu!"
Daji naturally didn't want to win in Manhe, so he nodded and said: "Zhang Beichen is right, he is also qualified to participate!"
Hao Zhen had no objection and said: "Our Wuhuan tribe welcomes all warriors to challenge!"
"Okay!" Seeing that both of them supported him, Yu Manhe said, "That's okay. Fighting with one more person is still a fight anyway!"
"Da Shanyu, we agreed in advance that Zhang Beichen and I are both in the Nine Realms. Once we take action, we will inevitably control our power. If someone is killed, don't be surprised!"
Yu Manhe has already developed murderous intentions towards Zhang Beichen!
Daji said it didn't matter. Anyway, Zhang Beichen was a hostage of the Yan State. If he died, he would die. It would be better if he could seriously injure Manhe before he died!
"Brother Beichen!" Hao Ziyi looked worried, fearing that Zhang Beichen would be injured.
Her appearance made Yu Manhe feel even more jealous. Is a Central Plains person worthy of this?
Zhang Beichen entered the competition arena. Hao Zhen announced the start. Yu Manhe came up and punched him. He didn't hold back at all, as if he was decisively beating Zhang Beichen to death.
The spiritual force fields of the nine realms collided, and the shock wave overturned everything around them!
[You and Yu Manhe fought for several rounds, but they were evenly matched.]
Yu Manhe was shocked. He had shown the strength of the peak of the Nine Realms, but he couldn't even defeat him? What kind of strength is this Beichen?
Daji also became wary. A hostage was actually stronger than a great Chanyu like him. This person could not be kept!
When Hao Zhen saw Zhang Beichen's strength, he already had other ideas in his mind.
Hao Zhen is very clear about Donghu's situation in recent years. Donghu seems to be strong, but in fact it is on the verge of destruction!
The Xiongnu's Maotai has been on the rise and has repeatedly won in recent years. The Yan Kingdom is also growing rapidly. Donghu invaded the country several times but returned without success.
Now that Donghu is fighting among itself, it will collapse sooner or later!
Zhang Beichen has a special status. He is the prime minister of the Yan State. If Hao Ziyi marries him, the Wuhuan tribe will form an alliance with the Yan State in disguise and have a way out.
Hao Zhen also admires Zhang Beichen's personal strength, talent and character.
"If he wins, it wouldn't be a bad idea to marry Zi Yi to him!" Hao Zhen thought to himself.
[After a few more rounds, Yu Manhe has already shown his defeat!]
Yu Manhe was horrified. He was at the peak of the Nine Realms, but he still lost to Zhang Beichen. And Zhang Beichen's current state was at the late stage of the Nine Realms!
The other party's understanding of the Nine Realms is deeper than his! Every move he makes can be seen through by him. Is this guy a monster?
"The current plan is to defeat the Ten Clubs with one force and use the power of the peak of the Nine Realms to kill him!" Yu Manhe decided in his heart and began to mobilize his whole body's strength, preparing to kill Zhang Beichen with one blow.
