"Princess, it's not good..."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Ziyan, who was supervising the work at the scene, also received the news at this time, her face instantly turned livid, and her bright eyes were filled with anger.
"Walk!"
Then she hurried away.
At the same time, all civil and military officials in the court were looking at Lin Bai.
It would undoubtedly be good for the Li Dynasty if the prince of the Li Dynasty could marry the princess of the Wu Dynasty, although such a marriage might have no effect if something really happened.
But the signals revealed to the outside world are different.
So they were very excited.
As for whether the Wu Dynasty is confident and prepared, it is completely outside their scope of consideration, because even if they lose, they can still get married.
What's more, the person marrying is not a member of their family.
Zhu Tianzheng was also looking at Lin Bai at this time, with a calm expression on his face.
But Lin Bai clearly understood something on his face. He was asking Lin Bai if he had confidence.
This evil feudal society.
Lin Bai suddenly sympathized with Xiao Qi. Even the most favored princess of Li Dynasty could not control her own destiny. It was indeed quite tragic.
"Lin Qingfeng, why don't you speak? Are you afraid? Is this the so-called most incredible genius since leaving the country?"
Gu Qiankuang said sarcastically.
Yan Zhenlin looked a little cold and said: "Prince Wu Chao, such a big matter cannot be decided by him alone."
"That's natural!"
Gu Qiankuang said lightly, "However, he is the most incredible genius in Li Dynasty and the representative of scholars in Li Dynasty. If he is confident, why doesn't he dare to say anything? He is just afraid. What is the number one talent in Da Li and the scholar in Da Li? Is this the case for everyone? It’s ridiculous.”
"Prince Wu Chao, please respect yourself!"
Hearing this, all the ministers were a little angry. They were also scholars. Although they knew that Gu Qiankuang did it on purpose, they still couldn't stand this cowardly attitude.
"Your Majesty, winning or losing is insignificant. I have never avoided war since ancient times."
"Not bad! Please approve it, Your Majesty."
"..."
Many ministers were echoing this, looking indignant.
Many people even looked at Lin Bai with some indignation. Lin Bai didn't say a word, which seemed to them to be a coward.
The masked woman who came along was also a little surprised, because this was completely different from what she knew. The other party's behavior in the past was clearly a master who refused to suffer losses. How come this time...
In fact, she was not the only one who was confused, there were also many people.
Yan Zhenlin, Zhu Tai, Zhu Tianzheng and so on.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was gloomy at this time. No matter whether there was a comparison or not, Lin Bai had to express his position so that he could tell the truth.
Lin Bai also understood, so he could only shake his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lin can't promise you."
What?
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
All the civil and military officials in the Li Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore. They openly refused to fight in the face of other countries' missions. This is simply... where is the dignity of the country?
They looked like they were going crazy.
Gu Qiankuang was also startled for a moment. He obviously did not expect that Lin Bai actually refused to fight, and in front of His Majesty Li Chao. This was undoubtedly an attempt to discredit Li Chao, but the other party actually...
He was about to taunt.
At this time, Lin Bai's voice sounded again, "The reason why I can't agree is because Lin doesn't feel that he has the right to decide the future of others. In Lin's opinion, other people don't have this right, and the prince is no exception."
"You decide the future of two women with just your words here. One of them is your relative. Have you ever thought about their feelings?"
"If you compete, I will accompany you to the end, but my bet can only be something I can make the decision on. For example, my family has some land and some broken silver."
"For another example, do you dare to bet on my life?"
The voice was not loud, but the firmness and determination revealed were frightening.
"you……"
Gu Qiankuang's face turned pale.
The people around were also stunned, and they didn't know what to say for a while. In their opinion, this was obviously too natural. There have been countless such things since ancient times, but after all, the seventh princess was involved, and no one spoke.
The masked woman's bright eyes were slightly bright, with a surprised look in her eyes.
Gu Qiankuang came back to his senses and immediately sneered again and again, "That's nonsense. I'm just afraid. I'm still looking for these useless reasons."
"Betting on your life? What is your identity? You only have a life, so what are you betting on with this prince?"
"What if I add this princess's life to it?"
At this time, a cold voice came, Zhu Ziyan had already arrived, her pretty face was filled with sadness.
"Seventh Princess!"
All the ministers saluted.
Zhu Ziyan paid no attention and looked at Gu Qiankuang coldly, "Prince Wu Chao, right? Lin Qingfeng's life plus the life of this princess, do you dare to bet on your life?"
"Forgot! You are a prince, and this princess is just a prostitute. Your life is more valuable than this princess's. So let's exchange two lives for one of your arms. Do you dare?"
Zhu Ziyan's beautiful eyes were wide open, full of evil aura, and her expression was extremely domineering.
Lin Bai couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.
The corners of Gu Qiankuang's mouth trembled.
Above, Zhu Tianzheng also had a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth. Besides that, there was also a hint of regret, and he said: "Xiao Qi, don't mess around."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qiankuang and others, "It made the Wu Dynasty envoy laugh. The seventh princess has been spoiled by me since she was a child and has a naughty temper..."
Zhou Yingkui said at this time: "The seventh princess has a true temperament and dares to stand up for her family and country. However, our Wu Dynasty and Li Dynasty are not hostile. They are here to form an alliance this time. Gambling their lives is naturally a joke."
"But marriage has great benefits for both countries. Although what Mr. Lin said is not unreasonable, even for ordinary people's families, marriage matters are dictated by the parents and the matchmaker, let alone the emperor's family."
"The foreign minister thinks that my proposal to the fourth prince is very good. By the way, it can also allow students from the two countries to communicate. Since Mr. Lin has his own principles, is it possible that there is no one else but him in such a big Li Dynasty?"
The tone was very gentle, but the words were still mocking Li Chao and no one dared to challenge him.
All the ministers from Li Dynasty were extremely unhappy.
But after what happened just now, no one could speak, and they all looked at Zhu Tianzheng.
Zhu Tianzheng was also in trouble. Rejection would undoubtedly undermine the dignity of the Li Dynasty, but acceptance...
"Father, you once said that my son will make the decision on his own marriage."
At this time, Zhu Ziyan suddenly said.
When the crowd heard this, they thought there was no chance. It was naturally impossible for the Seventh Princess to make the decision herself.
But to everyone's expectation, Zhu Ziyan continued to say: "In that case, I will make the decision today. Isn't the Wu Dynasty a comparison? I promise to compete with you."
What?
Everyone was a little confused when this was said.
The same goes for Gu Qiankuang. He originally thought there was no hope, but he never thought...
The masked woman also looked surprised. We are both women. Who is willing to hand over his future destiny to a competition? But the seventh princess of Lichao agreed.
She was in disbelief.
The corners of Lin Bai's eyes also twitched. Isn't this girl very smart?
Just when he was puzzled, Zhu Ziyan had already walked towards him and said: "You don't agree because you respect me and respect all women. I agree because I believe in you. I know you will not let me marry to another country."
After saying that, she walked away.
