"How can this be true? Don't wait for an inch! The military department Shangshu was the first to stand up and oppose it.

The emperor was also displeased: "Lord Toya, the little Khan of Shicai has not said that he wants to designate someone to participate, your request is a bit excessive!" ”

"So what?" Tuoya crossed her waist coquettishly, "I heard that the princesses and county lords of your Qi country are all pampered, except for embroidery needles, they haven't even touched pots and spoons." Isn't it, Lord Taiping? If you don't dare to compare, as long as you admit that the women of Qi are not as powerful as the women of our grassland, I will let you go! ”

Dared? Xia Qingyun didn't eat this set. She smiled faintly, "The county lord is wrong with this!" The so-called art industry has a specialization, if it is better than embroidery, than playing the piano, than poetry, can you compare with us? ”

Toya was speechless for a while, stomped her feet and said, "Anyway, I'm going to compare with you!" ”

It seems that no matter which country's princess and county lord, her delicate and willful temperament is not much different. Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "It's okay to compare, but this is a condition for you to add later, and I will also add another color." ”

Toya was stunned, looked back at Suhelek and Batu, and saw that they had no objection, so she raised her chin and said, "Tell me about it!" ”

"As far as I know, there is an overland trade route from Qi to Fanbang that crosses the grassland, and for many years, your steppe tribes have been guarding the main trade routes, leviing heavy taxes, and this trade route has become more and more depressed. Our merchants had to risk their lives across the ocean by sea. ”

"So, my jackpot is, if I win, you have to promise to remove the checkpoints on the trade routes, in addition to the normal customs duties. No additional taxes may be levied. If you agree, I will compete with you. ”

Xia Qingyun raised her eyebrows and looked at her, her eyes seemed to say, how is it? Do you dare?

Toya stomped her foot, ran back to the seat and whispered a few words to Suhelek and Batu, and then came back to the middle of the field and said, "Okay, it's up to you!" ”

Xia Qingyun was about to leave the game, and Prime Minister Nangong Xi got up and asked, "Dare to ask the Taiping County Lord, are you completely sure of winning?" A game is a win-win if you lose. The Great Khan not only wanted to take back the book and order. The land of the Hetao should be assigned to the steppe tribes! The county lord thinks twice. ”

"The Prime Minister is right!" The official Shangshu also stood up and said: "Why should the Taiping County Lord be reckless for the sake of fame, even if he admits that the women of the Qi State are not good, it is not a big deal. Women will give birth to children. Just be able to teach your husband and children at home. Everyone said yes! ”

Quite a few nodded in agreement. Even among the female dependents behind Xia Qingyun, some people talked in a weird way: "That's it, I want her to be strong!" We're all pretty ladies. How can it be compared with the barbarians of the steppe! ”

The emperor also asked: "Lord Taiping, the prime minister's reminder makes sense, have you thought about it?" ”

Xia Qingyun smiled slightly, and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, I also want to ask the ministers, if I don't end up, who can be sure to win against the county lord of Toya?" ”

The emperor said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you hear the question of the Taiping County Lord, who is willing to volunteer to fight for the country?" ”

The ministers were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and even the two princes and Si Hong Bowen shook their heads gently.

If anyone can kill the lion tiger first in the game, I'm afraid Si Hong Bowen will be the first to jump off the field. But if you want to let the tiger and lion obediently obey the command, no one dares to pack the ticket.

The queen whispered to the grandmother behind her: "Go and ask those jugglers in the back, do you know how to tame beasts?" ”

Mama whispered: "The palace people have already run to ask just now, these artists can only train some sheep and dogs, and they have to be raised." They hadn't even seen a lion or tiger, let alone trained it. ”

The queen frowned, turned sideways and whispered to the emperor: "Or let the Taiping County Lord try, I think she is quite sure." Her maid can tame even snakes, and she's fought wild beasts in the mountains before, so she might be able to win. ”

"That's all there is to it." The emperor nodded and said to Xia Qingyun: "Lord Taiping, since you are sure, you will give it a try." Even if I lose, I won't blame you. ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "Obey the holy decree." ”

Toya stepped aside, and everyone looked at Xia Qingyun who was walking towards the beast cage step by step, and they all held their breath and sweated for her.

Xia Qingyun walked to the beast cage, and did not rush to open the cage door first, but circled around the cage twice. The lion tiger in the cage smelled the breath of the living and followed the circle in the cage.

Xia Qingyun drank the Seven Star Spring Water all year round, and his body naturally exuded abundant aura. Animals have much more sensitive senses than humans, and the animals on the Nord Stream Mountains not only do not hurt her, but are also happy to be close to her.

At the beginning, Xue'er and Blackstar also smelled the aura on her body, so they followed her obediently.

Xia Qingyun stood still in front of the maned lion's cage. She had just unknowingly gotten some spring water from the Wishful Treasure Pavilion and wet her palms. Even if someone saw her palms wet, they only thought it was a cold sweat that was nervous and scared.

Slowly reaching out and stopping half a foot away from the cage, the maned lion pressed its head against the fence and kept sticking out its tongue.

Xia Qingyun slowly approached her hand, so that the maned lion could just lick her hand with the tip of his tongue. Once, twice, three times, the maned lion's eyes showed a meek look.

She came to the tiger cage again and did the same. After a few moments, he opened the cage door, and without pulling the chain attached to the tiger's neck, he turned around and walked towards the center of the field.

Everyone gasped, oh my God, if the lion and tiger pounced from behind, the Taiping County Lord would be killed.

Su Helek stared at Xia Qingyun's figure tightly, his expression was cloudy, Batu leaned into his ear and whispered: "Father Khan, do you want me?"

Suhelek waved his hand, "Don't act rashly!" ”

What is strange is that the lion tiger seemed to recognize Xia Qingyun, and followed her honestly, and the iron chain dragged on the ground with a clattering sound.

When he came to the field, Xia Qingyun pressed down with both hands, and the lion and tiger obediently squatted down. She stepped forward and gently unfastened the chains from their necks and tossed them aside.

"Sit! Crouch! Rise! Claw! Roll! Following her commands, the liger made all kinds of movements with unmistakable accuracy, like a cat or dog that had been trained in the circus for a long time.

What's even more interesting is that they are still lying on the ground and turning their bellies, letting Xia Qingyun gently rub them on their bellies. The pink tongue drooped out of the mouth and hung down at the corners of the mouth, snorting and panting, as if it was very pleasant.

The queen couldn't help but smile and covered her mouth with a brocade hand: "Your Majesty, look at this lion and tiger is quite humane, similar to the pugs raised in the queen mother's palace." ”

The emperor couldn't stop smiling, "Taiping really didn't disappoint me!" ”

As soon as Xia Qingyun raised his hand, the lion tiger rolled and stood up, shaking the hair on his body, and looked at her with blank eyes.

She stretched out her hand again for the liger to lick it, commanded them to jump on the stage, and commanded, "Open your mouth!" (To be continued......)
