Although Xi Menghan is a woman, she is actually a military general who has received official salary!
Xi Menghan sneered and ignored her. He also rode out, reached into his quiver, and pulled out three arrows!
The moment she bent her bow and set an arrow, Xi Menghan's aura changed instantly, like a female general charging into battle, with a compelling aura that shocked people's hearts!
Looking at Xi Menghan who was completely different from usual, Mu Jinyu's eyes were blank for a moment...
The next moment, three feathered arrows shot out with a sharp whistling sound, rushing towards the target like meteors chasing the moon.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
Three shots were fired in succession, and all three arrows hit the bullseye without any deviation!
"good!"
Immediately there were military generals at the table cheering loudly, and then many military generals and civil servants joined in. There was a round of applause, all for Xi Menghan.
Princess Niya's arrogance just now had already aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Seeing Xi Menghan defeating Princess Niya cleanly and seeing the gloomy and angry look on Princess Niya's face, everyone felt relieved!
"Well done, Little General Xi! You are truly a woman who shows off the prestige of our great Zhou Dynasty and frightens those arrogant people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
Xia Luotong smiled and praised. As he spoke, he glanced at Princess Niya who was standing aside. Sure enough, he saw that Princess Niya's expression turned even worse.
Her archery skills are indeed not very good, and her riding skills are even more mediocre. These are her shortcomings, but she can applaud!
What's more, Xi Menghan was competing for her, so she naturally had to support him!
This time, Xia Luotong's words were echoed by many people, and their compliments were poured out as if they were free.
Xi Menghan smiled and bowed her hands to everyone without being arrogant, and then turned to look at Princess Niya.
"If Princess Niya had given up earlier, she wouldn't have had to be embarrassed." These words were a response to Princess Niya's provocation just now.
Having said that, Xi Menghan didn't bother to take another look at Princess Niya's dark face, shook her head and returned to her seat.
Princess Niya stood there angrily. She didn't know until just now that the woman in red was actually a general! She is one of the extremely rare female generals in Dazhou!
Thinking of the mocking expressions of Xia Luotong and Xi Menghan just now, plus losing the competition, Princess Niya felt a fire in her heart that could not be extinguished no matter what.
She didn't care at all about the looks of these Zhou officials. In her opinion, they were just a group of minions, but the anger in her heart made her not want to stay at the banquet any longer.
But just when Princess Niya was about to turn around and leave, her eyes glanced past Xia Luotong and saw Wu Zechen beside her.
She suddenly paused, then suddenly turned around, walked back to her seat and sat down. Although she didn't look good to anyone, she showed no sign of leaving.
Xia Luotong, who had been paying attention, was keenly aware of Princess Niya's little movements. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and then turned to look at Wu Zechen beside him.
At this time, Wu Zechen also turned to look at her. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Wu Zechen squeezed her hand with a comforting look in his eyes, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Although he was still a little worried, Xia Luotong still managed to suppress it and quietly waited for the banquet to end.
Nothing happened during the following banquet. It was nothing more than various competitions taking place in turn, with each country winning and losing.
After the banquet, it was time to officially start hunting. At this time, everyone moved freely and finally brought the prey back to the camp.
As usual, this hunting is naturally a competition to see who can bring back more and better prey. Many people are already gearing up and preparing to perform well.
And just after the emperor announced the start of the hunting, Xia Luotong finally understood why Princess Niya had endured and stayed.
"Prince An, please accompany me on today's hunt." Princess Niya ignored everyone and walked straight in front of Wu Zechen, not even paying attention to Xia Luotong who was standing aside.
Looking at Princess Niya as if she was giving an order, Xia Luotong felt that Princess Niya was actually a talent.
Where does the confidence come from?
It’s time to ask after all, right? It was such a statement from the beginning. What is the difference between giving Wu Zechen a direct order?
Wu Zechen, however, ignored Princess Niya and regarded her as nothing. He turned to talk to Xia Luotong: "Are you tired? Let's go back to the house and rest for a while?"
Xia Luotong suppressed a smile and was about to agree, but was interrupted by Princess Niya.
She was already holding back her anger, but now she even raised her voice a little higher: "Prince An! This princess is talking to you!"
Princess Niya's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Seeing her unscrupulous appearance, all the Zhou officials frowned.
How could the Nanman send such a brainless and arrogant princess as an envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty? Could it be that he came here to make enemies?
The movement here also caught the emperor's attention. His eyes moved slightly and he suddenly said: "Why don't Prince An just accompany Princess Niya? Anyway, the princess is pregnant and cannot participate in the hunting."
As soon as the emperor said this, many people showed subtle expressions, but even if they were dissatisfied with the emperor's decision, it was not easy to show it too obviously.
Xia Luotong didn't expect that the emperor could accomplish this. Could it be that in order to achieve his goal, he even ignored the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty?
As soon as the emperor spoke, Princess Niya immediately showed a proud smile, and even glanced at Xia Luotong provocatively.
However, the next moment, Wu Zechen's cold voice sounded, brief but full of power: "She doesn't deserve it!"
After that, Wu Zechen stopped looking at anyone and directly helped Xia Luotong to leave, leaving only Princess Niya and the emperor with equally ugly faces.
Seeing Prince An's leaving figure and the emperor's dark expression, the officials of the Zhou Dynasty were either silent and did not dare to speak, or their eyes were dark and their expressions were full of meaning.
It seems that the situation in Da Zhou is becoming more and more tense...
After returning to the tent, Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen with a gloomy expression: "It seems that the emperor can't wait any longer."
"It doesn't matter, he is still in the testing stage now. Don't think too much and pay attention to your body." Wu Zechen gently stroked her back and comforted her.
The emperor was eager to take back military power, but neither the Si family nor the Xi family was making good progress. Even the Chu family, which had made some progress, was now at a standstill due to Chu Junxiu's return to the southwest.
Not to mention Wu Zechen's side, the emperor had no way to start!
It is precisely because of this that the emperor becomes more and more anxious. Recently, he has been testing Wu Zechen a lot, but Wu Zechen has always been unable to find a breakthrough.
After Xia Luotong heard what Wu Zechen said, he stopped mentioning it and turned to talk about what happened just now: "The way the emperor acted just now, could it be that he wanted to stuff the Nanman Princess into the palace?"
