"What should we do? Atubai is a martial artist. Our queen is so delicate, how can she be his opponent?"
"Even if there are generals in our country who are good at fighting, there is only General Xilan. How can he win two out of three games?"
"Besides, the rules are not limited to life and death. Zhu Ziguo will definitely kill people in the ring..."
"How can the fate of our country be left to an outsider to decide? Alas..."
Several ministers chattered endlessly, thinking that their country would definitely be defeated, and mocking Song Che in various ways.
"What? I'm just a dwarf, does it scare you out of your wits? If you are afraid of death, get out of the capital as soon as possible!" Mandolin scolded angrily.
All the ministers sighed in excitement, shook their heads and left.
Mandolin sat back on the throne and calmed down for a moment. After the anger dissipated, fear followed. As the leader of a country, she was more afraid of failure than anyone else. It was not life and death, but the future of the entire country, staying with her ancestors. 's foundation.
"Your Majesty, if you are timid before fighting, you cannot win." Song Che said calmly.
Mandolin looked at her hands and said angrily: "My father has taught me since I was a child that women should also learn some martial arts. If I had listened to his words at that time, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed. I... As a queen, I Unable to do my best for my people, I...I...have truly failed..."
Xilan knelt on one knee in front of Mandolin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. It's a best-of-three game. It doesn't matter if you lose one game. Although I am the daughter in charge, I will never lose to a man in terms of courage and skill!" Xilan has issued a military order here. If he cannot win the contest, he will come to see you with his head raised!"
"Lan Lan..." Mandolin's eyes were red and she quickly helped Xi Lan up.
"Your Majesty..." Xilan's eyes were wet with tears and she held Mandolin's hand tightly.
At this moment, there is no difference between monarch and minister, only the deep love between sisters.
Song Che smiled at His Highness and said: "General Xi, you described it wrong before. 'Come to see me with your head raised' is a very contradictory metaphor. If you cut off your own head, you will die. How can you carry yourself?" The head is here to see Her Majesty the Queen."
He glanced back and said: "You are a profit-seeking businessman, how can you understand the word loyalty? As General Wusao, I swear to shed the last drop of blood for it!"
Song Che shook his head, "But even if Wusuo can win the contest, Zhuzi will stop fighting? Just like when you ceded two markets to them before, wouldn't they still find excuses to tear up the alliance?"
Upon hearing this, the two women frowned.
"Then why did you propose a 'competition to win the seal'? Isn't it unnecessary?" Mandolin asked.
"Shh..." Song Che made a silent gesture, strode towards the throne, and said in a low voice:
"I have a plan to seize Zhuzi Kingdom without any bloodshed. Do you want to hear it?"
"You?" Xilan didn't believe it at all: "How can a businessman be so virtuous? The other party has an army of five thousand!"
Five thousand troops?
Is it necessary to tell them that Song Che wiped out hundreds of thousands of Dijon troops with a flick of his finger? No need.
"If you don't want to hear it, you can go out and leave me and the Queen to have an in-depth one-on-one communication."
"You have a beautiful idea!" Xilan refused to give in.
Mandolin looked at Song Che seriously: "Do you really have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"
Song Che shook his head and said with a smile: "It is not to retreat from the enemy, but to seek to seize Zhuzi Kingdom and restore Xishan Kingdom."
Mandolin looked at him for a moment, and seeing how confident he was, she asked in a deep voice: "You are an outsider, why do you want to help us for no reason? You are a businessman, you have to do something."
Song Che squinted his eyes and looked straight at her from head to toe. It was so far away that I couldn't see clearly yet. Even if this dancing queen was wearing a veil, she must be a lovely creature that is rarely seen in the human world.
"Look again, I'll dig out your eyes!"
The female general next to her is as charming as the queen, especially her fierceness, which is so delicious!
Song Che tossed his sleeves, turned his back and said, "I do have something I want, but don't worry, it's definitely not a woman."
If Posu and Zhuzi can merge, the country's strength will be enhanced. This is one of the ways to bring them into the alliance to defeat the Hu.
Let them help find Liu Xiang'er and others, this is the second option.
There are more women than men in this country. After the mutual market is opened in the future, there will be a huge market for private houses, white jade paste, jewelry and other goods. This is the third one.
Song Che likes beautiful women and cherishes them. This is the fourth point.
Mandolin thought about it again and again and agreed happily: "Okay, as long as your clever plan can restore Xishan to the country, I will give it to you without any hesitation!"
"You're not joking, the deal is done?"
Song Che smiled happily, turned around, and slowly pointed out three fingers: "To win Zhuzi, there are only three steps - first, kill the king of Zhuzi, Atubai, in the competition to win the seal in two days -"
"This is simply unrealistic!"
Xi Lan didn't wait for Song Che to finish speaking, and interrupted: "The rules required for kings to be king are set by you yourself. The queen has never practiced martial arts and has been ill recently. How can she kill Atubai? Hmph... ...I thought you really had a clever plan, but it was just pretentious."
Song Che smiled faintly, "What you call unrealistic is just what you think, but in fact, it is not difficult to kill Atubai, if you have this."
As he spoke, he pulled out the musket from his waist and waved it in front of their eyes.
"What is this?" Xi Lan was curious.
Song Che said: "This is the most powerful, vicious, and deadly hidden weapon in the world. Even if you are invulnerable, it can kill you with one hit."
He smiled at Xi Lan and said, "Of course, I guess you don't believe it."
Xi Lan hummed, "Who doesn't know how to brag..."
Song Che pointed at the vase placed at the entrance of the palace, "Did you see that vase? It's about seven or eight feet away."
"I saw it, then——"
"Snapped!"
Before Xi Lan finished speaking, the musket was fired.
"Wow!"
In an instant, the vase fell apart.
The two women were stunned.
Song Che blew the gun smoke from the muzzle and handed the gun to Mandolin: "I will teach you how to use it later and how to use it to win by surprise."
Mandolin dullly took the gun and held it tightly in her hand. Her eyes on Song Che changed from doubt to trust.
Xilan's eyes also changed slightly.
"By the way, how many troops does Zhuzi have?" Song Che suddenly asked.
Xilan said: "Didn't I just say that they have an army of five thousand and more than a thousand fully armed cavalry!"
"So, when they invaded Posuo this time, they came out in full force?" Song Che asked again.
"Otherwise? Every time we, a small country in the Western Region, fight a war, we use all the strength of the country." Xilan said.
"very good."
Song Che said: "Since the Zhuzi Kingdom has come out in full force, its capital must be empty. We can take advantage of the opportunity of the competition to seize the seal, send an elite team, and take a detour to the rear to capture the capital of Zhuzi. This is the second step."
Mandolin's eyes flickered, "That's a good plan."
The next moment, she was a little worried again:
"However, even if Zhuzi's army is on the front line, there will definitely be one or two hundred people left to defend the city. If we want to attack the city, we will have to use more than three times the number of troops, at least four to five hundred people. Let's not say whether we can If we can gather the number of people, even if so many people march together, they are likely to be discovered by Zhu Ziguo."
