Chapter 170: Changes

Chapter 170

It was dead silent on the field. The people of Liang were speechless.

They looked at the young woman in red on the field. Sunlight shone on her face as she stood gallantly.

At this moment, they all had the same thought - who said women are inferior to men, who said women without talent are virtuous?

Even the people from Ye were silenced. Lord Shi walked directly to Qin Chuyuan’s side.

“Lord Qin, may I send my son who has not yet come of age to the Qin residence and have him become a disciple of Little Flower to follow her and learn from her?”

“Rest assured, if the boy misbehaves, feel free to punish and scold him without regard for my face. He will not complain one bit.”

Qin Chuyuan looked at Lord Shi with an expressionless face and coldly said, "Your face?"

"Uh..."

Lord Shi was at a loss for words. He still seemed to lack some standing before Qin Chuyuan, but for his son's sake, he had to thicken his skin and get closer.

"Yes, my face should still be worth a little something, right?" Lord Shi looked at Qin Chuyuan with hopeful eyes.

The guards around them also looked toward Qin Chuyuan. They too wanted to become disciples of General Gong.

"Little Flower will decide her own matters."

"Then it's settled. If Little Flower agrees, you must not interfere." Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Qin Chuyuan did not respond. He realized he knew too little about Little Flower. Besides his family background, he seemed to have nothing to match Little Flower. What right did he have now to decide for Little Flower?

The King of Liang looked at Gong Xiaohua in the field and became dispirited.

Could it be that Ye's army was now becoming strong at a speed beyond their imagination?

If they allied with Ye, would Ye become another ferocious lion in the future?

Ah, it would be great if this woman was from their Liang kingdom.

If the prince and others knew the King of Liang's thoughts, they would surely forcedly laugh. An eccentric like Gong Xiaohua was one in a million even in the great Ye kingdom.

However, they did not dare to say this in front of the King of Liang. Whether they could form an alliance now depended entirely on Little Flower.

"Your Majesty?" The Grand Eunuch standing next to the King of Liang softly reminded him.

"Your Majesty?"

"What is it?" Only after calling him twice did the King of Liang react.

"It's time to announce the next competition."

"Right, I remember now. Horse racing. Let it begin."

"Where are the Ye envoys?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, they are waiting in the side hall." The Grand Eunuch next to him said.

"Summon them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the competitions ended, Qin Chuyuan and the others had been waiting in the side hall for another summons.

"The might of Ye's generals is indeed extraordinary. Today, we have witnessed it. This king can agree to the alliance, but Ye may become another great power in the future. Liang does not wish to slay a vicious lion only to face a fierce tiger."

"King of Liang, please be assured. Ye is not bellicose. I can guarantee Ye will never attack Liang in the future as long as Liang does not offend my great Ye."

"Hahaha, excellent."

Suddenly, a commotion could be heard outside.

"What is causing the disturbance outside?" the King of Liang asked.

Soon, a eunuch came in to report: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the Jianan Principality Princess wishing to see Your Majesty."

"What is she here for at this time? Send her away."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

However, before the eunuch left, Jianan Principality Princess charged right in.

She marched into the great hall, straight to the King of Liang, and pointed at Qin Chuyuan, "Your Majesty, if the two nations ally, there must be one more condition - he must marry me."

"Jianan, this concerns the great affairs of two nations. Do not make trouble." Lord Gao hurriedly came to stop her.

He had told her of the rejection of the marriage proposal a few days ago and thought she had given up. He did not expect this to all be pretense.

Today, she recklessly came to the palace to find His Majesty.

Jianan Principality Princess dodged Lord Gao.

"Your Majesty, alliances between nations have always used marriage to solidify the relationship."

"Your Majesty, the Princess's words are reasonable. If the two nations ally, marriage is indeed needed to seal it," one official spoke up.

The King shot him a cold glance, and the official tactfully kept silent and withdrew.

The King then looked to Jianan, "Stop this nonsense. The alliance has nothing to do with you. Return first."

"I will not leave. Your Majesty, do not forget your promise to me."

"I..." The King was at a loss for words. He did make that promise to allow Jianan Principality Princess to choose her husband freely, no matter who he was. Now he wished he could take back the promise from years ago.
