Shen Yangui has always believed that no matter what people do, they should play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

She does not have a strong body, and her martial arts training since she was young has not focused on strength, but on techniques and skills.

But as everyone knows, in the face of absolute strength, any skills are just fancy moves.

The double-axe moves are not as varied as those of swords, guns, and sticks, but the chopping is more powerful.

Anyone who is not strong would never dare to use double axes.

Although Danzhu was sitting cross-legged, he was obviously half a body stronger than Shen Yangui.

Anyone can see that this man and this axe are not easy to deal with.

If it was Shen Yangui from the previous year who competed with others, she would not care if she lost.

But now she wants to be the emperor.

There are already many obstacles in the way for a woman to become an emperor. If she cannot even defeat the vassal states that come to submit to her, how can she win the support of the people in the future?

Shen Yangui admitted that he now has a burden.

"This is the first time I see my dearest being scared."

Mo Chengying also picked up the wine cup, covering it with his sleeves, with the corners of his lips raised.

"Well...I am looking forward to it even more."

Shen Yangui could hear the hidden smugness in his tone, "Did you do that on purpose?"

Mo Chengying was not good at lying to his beloved, so he put down his wine cup and said nothing.

Shen Yangui looked at him sideways, and he pretended not to know.

Silence is the best answer.

"I know that you must have informed King Udamahe in advance and asked him to tell his sister not to show mercy, otherwise she would not be able to bring the two axes into the palace."

Mo Chengying's eyes moved over.

Why does it feel like there are worms in my stomach?

Know everything?

He tried to deny it, "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

"I got it right."

Shen Yangui no longer looked at him.

Mo Chengying turned his head slowly: "When did I say you guessed right?"

"Now!"

"Humph~"

"You hoped to let me know through Danzhu that the battlefield is dangerous and every strike can take someone's life. However, no matter how powerful her double axes are, they won't cause any big trouble under your watch."

"You won't let me lose, but you will let me know where my strength is weaker. You want me to give up and give up the expedition."

After Shen Yangui finished speaking, he picked up a piece of Yunmeng meat wrapped with flowers for Mo Chengying and asked, "Is that right?"

Mo Chengying knew he couldn't hide it from her.

He has always respected his wife, and he knows that this method is wrong, but... he is too concerned.

He panicked and only thought about keeping her, forgetting to care about anything else.

Mo Chengying held Qingqing's hand under the table, "Don't be angry with me."

"Jingming, I know you're worried about me, so you're doing this, but Jingming - I will prove my strength to you!"

If Shen Yangui was a dodder, she would never have thought of becoming a female general since childhood.

But why does Mo Chengying need her to prove anything?

Shen Qingyue represented the Shen family today and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Shen Ting.

She wasn't too close, but was keeping an eye on this side.

From Shen Qingyue's perspective, Shen Yangui had always been trying to please her prince and tried every way to talk to him, but the prince rarely looked at Shen Yangui.

While she was focusing all her attention on the prince, someone was also silently watching her.

"Your Highness Wudamohe and his sister Danzhu come to pay respects to the Regent King and Princess Regent! I wish the King good health and the Princess a long and happy life!"

King Udamahuo's voice was like a loud bell, and his Xia Dynasty official language was accented with a thick Shaturu accent. He and his sister Danzhu stood in the hall.

He performed the Shaturu etiquette without kneeling.

The court officials immediately pointed out their mistakes and asked them to follow local customs and kneel down to the prince and princess.

Some people also deliberately made trouble, saying that they were disrespecting Daxia and trying to stir up conflicts.

King Udamaha showed no fear at all, but stood up straight instead.

"Respected King of Daxia, I, Shatulu, founded my country through military force. The throne is reserved for the capable and has always been subject to strength. Just wait and see, my princess will defeat my double axes."

Danzhu answered for his brother and bowed again, "My brother and I will kneel down in public and willingly accept you as our master and serve you."

The temptation is not that great, but the implication is still provocative.

She meant that if Shen Yangui lost, they, Shatulu, would not recognize Daxia as their master.

Today, all nations are coming to pay tribute. If Shatulu opens this door, other countries will probably follow suit.

This is no longer a private competition, but a matter of national reputation and even border stability.

There was discussion in the hall.

In order to maintain the country's reputation, the civil officials began to think of ways to help Shen Yangui get through the competition.

At first, some people made up stories, saying that the princess was a lady from a wealthy family and was not good at wielding swords or guns.

Danzhu naturally didn't believe it: "I traveled to various countries a few years ago and fought with Princess Yuewan. Her Western Ghost Steps should not be underestimated. The princess easily won. It shows that Daxia is too modest."

She did not travel to various countries, but the royal family accepted the mission and she followed to train her skills.

Seeing that this approach was not feasible, the civil official changed his words:

"The princess is of noble status and cannot be attacked easily. How about we send warriors to fight you?"

Sangniu was supposed to go to Beijing a month ago, but the confiscation of the Yu family's property in Lingzhou was slower than expected, and various things were delayed.

She had just rushed to the capital two days ago, and as soon as she arrived she was busy settling accounts with the Ministry of Revenue.

At this moment, she stood up and said with great passion:

"I am the first female general of Daxia! I am here to fight you!"

"Someone! Go get my sword!"

The court officials who had always disapproved of this female bandit now agreed with her.

——"Very good, very good, this is our loyal general."

——"Woman to woman, don't say that Daxia bullied you."

Danzhu looked at Sangniu, who was wearing less than the men of Daxia, had the temperament of a bandit, and her words and actions did not show any sign of fragility.

She said sincerely: "You are very powerful, and your sword should be very powerful too. I can't beat you."

Sangniu was a little proud.

The courtier seized the opportunity and said, "General Zhongwu was also defeated by the princess..."

A warrior is upright. Sang Niu can block the knife for Shen Yangui, but she cannot give in on matters of principle.

"Sir, please stop talking nonsense. I am not a general who can be defeated by the princess!"

The adult did not expect Sangniu to be so ignorant: "..."

Other court officials: The military men are stupid, regardless of gender.

"Then let's find some brave warriors for the princess to choose from."

Danzhu's goal was clear: "I only want to spar with the princess, not compete with the warriors. The king of Daxia also agreed."

"Princess Danzhu, don't worry. We chose the one who was defeated by the princess. If the princess loses, then there is no need to compete with the princess again."

"What if I win?"

Shen Yangui tried to interrupt several times, but the court officials found ways to interrupt him.

"If you win, you can compete with the princess again."

Won?

The courtiers thought to themselves: I will find you some powerful fighters later. Even if you win, most of your energy will have been used up, and the princess’ chances of winning will be even higher.

Danzhu glanced at his brother.

King Udamahe had more important things to do than winning or losing, so he nodded.

Danzhu said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Okay! That's it!"

Warriors are stupid. They don't care about their country and are easily fooled.

Everyone is happy.

"Come! King Wuda! I'll toast you!"

The wives of the generals also raised their glasses, "Princess Danzhu, I toast to you!"
