Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 205 How Could You Lose?
Shen Sanwen saw her weak opening, and thought it was quite interesting, "You seem to be a little afraid of me, didn't you say that people like me are pretty good."

Man'er: "That's good, but now I don't want to see you that much."

To be precise, he didn't want to hear bad news about Zhang Yang.

Shen San asked: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here on official business. This time, Miss Barbarian hopes that His Majesty will take back her order and make peace with Young Master Li Longji, right?"

Man'er nodded, "Mr. Chengqi's temperament is not suitable for this Luoyang City. Brother Wu is much better than him. Moreover, I believe that people who dare to act like Li Longji are also emotional people."

Li Longji stood up decisively and pretended to be the eldest son. What Li Chengqi did was not to refute but to accept.

Shen San asked a little sympathy for Li Chengqi lying on the gun, but did not agree with her statement.

In many cases, personality is not important. Everyone has their own destiny. Although some people are not strong enough, they can live a safe life.

What's more, if he doesn't intervene and marry Li Longji according to Li Longji's life trajectory, it will be really unlucky.Li Longji killed many of his "beloved" women in order to stabilize the court and the hearts of the people.The ministers were worried that what happened to Empress Wu would happen again. He killed Concubine Wu Hui, and Ma Weipo killed Yang Yuhuan to appease the soldiers. His so-called love brought hatred from many people. In the end, it was difficult for the person he loved to live.

This is his love.

Is this the path you chose for your dear sister?
Shen Sanwen questioned Man'er's ability to choose.

Shen San asked: "Even if the Turks win, His Majesty may not take back his order."

Man'er was stunned, "What?"

Shen San asked: "Your Majesty never promised you."

Man'er thinks back, although he didn't agree to the matter, but he meant to give a lottery, isn't that the same?Can the Great Zhou Emperor still do this?

Shen Sanwen continued, "If I stop it with all my strength, even if you win, I can guarantee that the choice of marriage will not change. If you really want to choose another suitable husband for your sister, I can help you. "

Thank you very much, this help cannot be denied.

Man'er: "What conditions?"

Shen Sanwen took out the written contract.

Man'er looked it over carefully, "If Turk wins, you will help me achieve my goal. If Da Zhou wins, do I need to stay in Luoyang for three years?"

so unfair?
Man'er was very surprised, "Why do you want me to stay in Dasan for three years?"

Shen San asked: "Did Zhou's envoys stay in Turkic for a long time? Naturally, Dazhou will repay the deep friendship of Turkic."

In short, this is revenge.

Man'er regretted a little, why did she come to Turkic as an envoy.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

Shen San asked, "Why, no confidence?"

Zhang Yang had never talked about military affairs with her, but Shen Sanwen's attitude suddenly gave her a feeling that Da Zhou was sure to win, where did he get his confidence?
Shen Sanwen stretched out his hand to make a gesture to take back the contract, and said, "If you think there is no difference between Li Longji and Li Chengqi, then pretend I didn't mention it."

Man'er tightened the contract in his hand, "But this is not what the Great Zhou Emperor meant."

Shen San asked: "In my own name, I will never break my promise, here is the black and white words."

Man'er: "What if the emperor disagrees?"

Shen San asked: "Then even if I don't want my reputation, I will also kick Li Chengqi away on the wedding night and replace the groom with Li Longji."

Can it be so!

Man'er burst out laughing, the son-in-law seemed to have many options, "I am willing to make a contract with Princess Taiping."

Shen San asked: "..."

Am I not qualified enough for feelings?
However, Shen Sanwen agreed, "You can't trust me, okay, let's go to see the princess right now, how about signing a contract with you in the name of the two of us?"

Man'er happily went with Shen Sanwen, and forgot about the victory or defeat for a moment.

The princess understood the purpose of her visit, and immediately used her seal on the new contract. I really don't want to spend more time on such a trivial matter.

After signing, Shen Sanwen handed it over, "Come, sign, in duplicate, one for each person after signing."

The content of the contract is very simple. The Turks compete with the Great Zhou. If the Great Zhou wins, the Turkic envoy Man'er will have to stay in Luoyang for three years. If the Turks win, Princess Taiping and the son-in-law Shen Sanwen guarantee that the Turks can choose to marry the son again.

Man'er was very relieved that before leaving Luoyang, she had resolved the most worrying things.

The Turkic guard was also very happy because she got what she wanted, and no one thought about losing.

Zhang Yang saw Shen Sanwen's contract, and sure enough, since ancient times, sincerity cannot be kept, and routines have always won people's hearts.

For him, winning a contest was much easier than convincing a woman.

At noon, there was a sea of ​​people outside the hunting ground, and there was a lot of voices. The handyman who maintained the order held a long gun, stood upright, and glanced inside from time to time.

The procedure of this competition is really fair, from drawing lots to entering the arena, it is also very novel to the people of Dazhou.One hundred soldiers, one hundred number plates, one hundred bamboo sticks, Zhang Yang draws [-] bamboo sticks each time for Turkic to determine the contestants for each round of Turkic, and Maner draws lots for Da Zhou.

The five teams stared at each other with big eyes, there was no change of sign, and there was no shady scene.

For the first hunt, the order of battle was arranged and the curtain officially kicked off.

A Turkic man and a Dazhou man first choose their bows, take their own prepared arrows, and set off together to go to the same place and even hunt the same prey. The outcome is clear at a glance.

In the first team, the Turkic people got three rabbits and two deer, and the Da Zhou people got five rabbits and three deer.

In the second team, the Turkic people killed five rabbits, one deer and some small prey, and the Da Zhou people killed seven rabbits and three deer.

The third team, the Turkic people and the Dazhou people only hit five rabbits.

There are many rabbits.There are also some small animals with the size of rabbits, so they can barely be regarded as rabbits.

The best of the Turks is a master who hunted a wolf.

Unfortunately, the volume and weight of a wolf is not as good as that of a deer.

In the end, even both parties returned empty-handed. After all, the starting point was the same. Many animals knew the danger of this generation and naturally ran away.There are only twenty arrows, sometimes one arrow is not enough to kill, and many times it will even shoot empty, and the masters of the two sides have been arranged at the beginning.

Twenty Turks, two wins, three draws and fifteen losses, a big week win.

The Turkic lost no temper.

Zhang Yang also used Tian Ji's horse racing method in this battle.The first person to fight does not need to be the most skilled shooter. He can get familiar with the territory the fastest, know which prey has the most prey, and be able to make a reasonable evaluation of the response speed of the animals in the hunting ground and choose the best shooting plan. Being able to sum up good experience is the most important thing.

Man'er was naturally very shocked, and felt that it was extremely unfair. She didn't believe that Zhang Yang's subordinates were all sharpshooters.

She rushed over to Zhang Yang angrily, "It's impossible, how could the soldiers of the Great Zhou beat the Turks in hunting."

Zhang Yang replied calmly, "Because the food in the army is not good, I often take them to hunt some wild game. It is much harder to shoot those flying in the sky than those running on the ground."

So, isn't this a sub-question?
