She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 133: Take the initiative to fight and slap him in the face
After two rounds of competition, there was a murmur of discussion on the field.
No one expected that Wu Shilie's carefully trained soldiers would be defeated by a captive from a defeated tribe.
Everyone naturally thought that if Yeqilu sent out his elite troops, wouldn’t Wushilie be defeated even more miserably?
The other tribal leaders who came with Yeqilu felt both surprised and pressured.
It seems that Yeqilu’s strength should not be underestimated.
Therefore, they became more cautious in their attitude towards Yeqilu.
Wu Shilie now fully understood Yeqilu's purpose. It turned out that he wanted to use him as a stepping stone to establish his authority in front of the tribal leaders and step on him hard at the same time.
If he loses again, he will completely lose face.
Within a few days, the entire Xirong knew that his men had been defeated by a slave.
At that time, another minister from Yeqilu's faction went to his father to flatter him, saying that he was a hopeless case and was inferior to Yeqilu in every way.
Thinking of this, Wu Shilie clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Ye Qilu in the face and completely shatter his disgusting and hypocritical smile.
He held his anger, turned around and discussed with Qin Chongxiao.
"Wu Di, is there any way to win the third round? If I can't win the third round, I will lose my reputation."
Qin Chongxiao shook his head slightly, showing an embarrassed expression.
Yeqilu came prepared. Needless to say, the slave he sent out was naturally very skilled in archery. It was impossible for him to find another sharpshooter at this time.
Nagya couldn't stand this, but she was helpless.
Several other close associates brought by Wu Shilie also frowned, and none of them had a way to break the impasse.
At this moment, Li Jingwan, who was standing next to Nagya, spoke in a low voice, only loud enough for a few of them to hear clearly.
"Your Highness, I have a solution."
"Ah?" Wu Shilie was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Li Jingwan who was talking. "You?"
Qin Chongxiao looked at her with some surprise.
"Yeah." Li Jingwan nodded.
Wu Shilie didn't believe it, "Don't make trouble."
"Brother, let her speak." After spending the past two days together, Nagya has discovered that Li Jingwan is a very smart person.
After all, there are very few people who can coax her into not losing her temper.
Wu Shilie didn't dare to refuse his sister's request. He glanced at Ye Qilu and said, "You say."
Li Jingwan said calmly, "Your Highness, let me play in the third round."
"what?!"
This time, not only Wu Shilie, but also Nagya and Qin Chongxiao were stunned.
Without waiting for them to ask questions, Li Jingwan took the initiative to explain.
"Yeqilu sent a slave just to embarrass you, Your Highness. And this man has already won the first two rounds. Regardless of whether he wins or loses in the third round, the effect Yeqilu wanted has been achieved."
"But if I play in the third round, the effect will be different."
Li Jingwan looked confident.
"I am on the field as the princess's maid. If I lose, it's not shameful for a woman to lose to a man. But if I win, and the people who won the first two rounds lose to me, a woman, it will be more embarrassing for Yeqilu."
"So, regardless of whether I win or lose, the people sent by Yeqilu are dishonorable, but they can restore your reputation."
After she explained, Wu Shilie's initial confusion and surprise turned into full of conviction, "What a good idea, that's brilliant!"
Nagya was also very excited. "This is a good move. Since Yeqilu is shameless, we don't have to be polite."
Only Qin Zhongxiao was worried, "What the girl said makes sense, but the people sent by Ye Qilu are not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, Military Advisor Wu Di. With so many people watching now, the other party will definitely not dare to do anything reckless." Li Jingwan knew his concerns and smiled at him gently, indicating that she knew her limits.
"Besides, I know a little about archery, so I'm not just doing it randomly. Yeqilu can't find any fault with me."
Qin Chongxiao remembered that Li Dingzheng said that Li Jingwan's archery skills were very good, even better than his.
So he didn't stop him.
"Okay, you go ahead." Wu Shilie made the decision, "As long as you win, I'll reward you with a thousand taels of gold."
"Your Highness, I don't want gold." Li Jingwan shook her head, "If I win, please agree to one condition of mine."
"No problem, just say it."
Even if Sai Enwan asked him to marry her now, he would agree.
As long as he could win back the game and slap Yeqilu in the face, he would give it his all.
"Your Highness, if I win, you must restrain your subordinates and stop robbing the people of Sheng Dynasty."
She couldn't control the entire Xirong army, but at least she could do something for the people living on the border to make their lives less panic-stricken.
Wu Shilie didn't expect that her conditions were not for his own benefit, but for the benefit of the people living on the border. He immediately had more respect for this inconspicuous woman from the Sheng Dynasty.
Qin Chongxiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly under the mask, with admiration in his eyes.
As expected of General Li's daughter, she has a sense of righteousness for her country and her family.
"Okay, I promise you." Wu Shilie said solemnly, "As long as you can win, I will definitely control them. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Sheng Dynasty again, I will chop off his head."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Jingwan nodded in thanks.
Qin Chongxiao considered it very carefully, "Your Highness, Sai Enwan is not from Xirong, and her identity cannot be revealed. I need you to explain it later."
After he whispered his plan, Yeqilu's guards came over and said that the leaders of each tribe were waiting and asked the Second Prince to start the third round of competition immediately.
Wu Shilie then took Li Jingwan to Yeqilu.
Getting closer, Li Jingwan clearly felt Ye Qilu's overwhelming aura, so she lowered her head.
Wu Shilie requested a substitution in the third round, letting his maid come on.
This sentence once again caused discussion on the field.
Ye Qilu's expression changed slightly. He looked at the maid beside Wu Shilie and said with a smile, "Doesn't my second brother have many elite soldiers and generals under his command? Why did you send a woman up here?"
Wu Shilie answered according to what Qin Chongxiao had just told him.
"Brother, the prisoner you sent out is indeed powerful, but he has already fought two rounds and has consumed a lot of his physical strength. If my men win in the third round, it will not be a fair victory."
"My maid is good at archery. Let her compete. That's only fair."
Sending women to compete is a bigger slap in the face to the opponent than sending slaves.
Yeqilu understood that Wu Shilie had not thought about winning the third round, but was just afraid of losing face, so he came up with this idea.
Although it's a bit despicable, this trick does work.
After all, this was Wu Shilie's territory, so Ye Qilu couldn't refute. His eyes darkened and he said to Li Jingwan, "Raise your head."
But Li Jingwan didn't move.
Wu Shilie quickly explained, "Brother, I forgot to tell you that this maid is deaf and dumb. She can neither hear nor speak."
This was also Qin Chongxiao's plan.
Although Li Jingwan wore a mask, she could not understand the Xirong language and her identity would be easily exposed, so she pretended to be deaf-mute to avoid suspicion.
Wu Shilie reached out and touched Li Jingwan as he spoke, motioning her to look up.
Li Jingwan did as she was told and met Yeqilu's inquiring gaze. She then pretended to look away in fear and slowly grasped her clothes with both hands.
Yeqilu sneered and looked down on Wushilie even more.
In order to save face for himself, he actually sent a deaf-mute girl to participate in the competition. It was really shameless.
After the field quieted down, Li Jingwan and the other party walked to the center of the field. Each of them had a quiver with ten arrows in it, divided into red and blue.
The third round was archery, and the rules were very simple.
There is a target on each horse. After the horses start running, both sides shoot at the target. In the end, the side that hits more rings will be the winner.
The rules are not difficult, but they test your archery skills very much, because you have to shoot at live targets and at the same time hit the most rings before your opponent.
Ten horses were brought into the training ground and, led by two horse trainers, began to slowly move around Li Jingwan and the slaves, with them as the center of the circle.
Li Jingwan took out a red arrow from the quiver and began to prepare for archery.
She volunteered to participate in the third round, not on impulse, but because she did have a chance of winning.
Although the slaves sent by Yeqilu were powerful, in the last round of playing with the stone locks, she found that the other party's hands were trembling slightly after he put down the stone locks.
This shows that wrestling and playing with stone locks have exhausted his physical strength.
The most important thing in archery is accuracy, clear eyes and steady hands.
If your hands are not steady, your archery will definitely be affected.
At this time, the horses had already started running, kicking up a small cloud of dust.
A man waved a flag, signaling the start of the archery competition.
Li Jingwan put the arrow on the string, pulled it steadily, closed her left eye, and stared intently at the fast-running horse in front of her.
Yeqilu originally thought that the maid sent by Wushilie was just to make up the numbers, but when he saw her skillful bow pulling, he felt less contemptuous.
This maid knows archery.
The people around Li Jingwan shot the first arrow and hit a live target.
She didn't look at the results and just focused on breathing.
The slave fired three arrows in succession, but Li Jingwan didn't fire a single arrow. Wu Shilie became a little anxious.
"What's wrong with her? Is she frightened?"
"Your Highness, don't worry." Qin Zhongxiao said softly, his eyes fixed on Li Jingwan, "She won't let you down."
Amid the noises around her, Li Jingwan suddenly remembered that when she first shot arrows, her father stood behind her and taught her the mantras of archery.
[Keep your mind steady, exert strength with both arms, be as steady as iron, aim at the target, breathe steadily, and block out distracting thoughts. ]
[Jingwan, the most important thing in archery is to focus, lock on the target, and never waver.]
【Jingwan, release the arrow.】
At this moment, Li Jingwan released her right hand, and the arrow moved forward rapidly, hitting a target on a horse.
Hit the red heart!
There was a small exclamation from the sidelines.
It is not difficult to hit a live target, but it is difficult to hit the ten rings.
Li Jingwan, however, remained calm. She picked up another arrow and aimed at the target.
Hit the bullseye again.
Her next arrow shot was much faster.
Five consecutive arrows hit the bull's eye, and one of them hit the target shot by the opponent.
Li Jingwan could feel that the people around her were a little panicked.
The most important thing in archery competition is mentality, and it is easy to be influenced by others.
Every time Li Jingwan shot an arrow, exclamations were heard from the sidelines.
One wave higher than the other.
Wu Shilie was extremely excited, he really had found a treasure this time.
Li Jingwan said that she knew a little about archery, and it turned out that she had inherited the humility of the people of the Sheng Dynasty.
If she knew a little bit, she wouldn't be able to draw the bow.
Ye Qilu, who had originally been indifferent, slowly sat up straight and focused all his attention on Li Jingwan.
This is not the archery level a maid should have.
Even in the country of Xirong, it is top-notch.
When all ten arrows are shot, the game is over.
There was no need to count the rings to confirm, everyone knew that Li Jingwan was the winner.
Because all ten of her arrows hit the bull's eye.
Wu Shilie finally won a game. Unable to hide his excitement, he raised his right hand and the people behind him immediately cheered.
Although it was somewhat dishonorable for a woman to accept the challenge, at least it helped them regain face.
"Sainwan is amazing." Nagya praised while clapping, "That's great."
A smile appeared in Qin Chongxiao's eyes, which had always been expressionless.
This is Li Jingwan in his mind.
As proud and powerful as ever.
After the game, Li Jingwan went to Ye Qilu to pay her respects as per custom.
When she lowered her head, she saw a pair of boots appear in her field of vision.
Yeqilu stood in front of her.
Wu Shilie, who was standing by, could not hide his excitement and pretended to be calm, saying, "Big brother, I'm grateful for your concession."
"Second brother, your maid is amazing."
"She is just a deaf-mute woman who knows a little about archery." Wu Shilie pretended.
Ye Qilu smiled and asked, "What's her name?"
Fortunately, Wu Shilie still remembered, "Sainwan."
"Sainwan..." Yeqilu said slowly, "Sain, very appropriate, he is indeed very capable."
As he spoke, his eyes were always on Li Jingwan.
This gaze was as real as a substance. Li Jingwan felt the pressure doubled. Her body was tense and her heart was furious.
This person will bring years of war to Dasheng.
If she had the chance to kill him with one blow, she would not miss it, even at the cost of her own life.
At this time, Wu Shilie patted her arm and signaled her to leave.
Li Jingwan then bowed and turned to leave, still feeling Ye Qilu's gaze.
Back at the sidelines, Nagya took her arm, very happy.
"Sainwan, don't teach me needlework, teach me archery. I didn't expect you to be such a master, much better than me. How is it?"
Qin Zhongxiao reminded quietly, "Princess, Sai Enwan is now deaf and mute."
"Yes." Nagya then pretended to do two actions to keep Li Jingwan from speaking.
Li Jingwan won this round so beautifully that she defeated Ye Qilu's original goal.
He felt humiliated and did not want to stay any longer, so he even postponed the original meeting and left first with the leaders of the tribes.
Wu Shilie was very proud and laughed out loud. He announced on the spot that they would celebrate tonight and reward everyone.
After returning to Qin Chongxiao's tent, the smug look on Wu Shilie's face remained unchanged.
"I finally got my revenge today and made that bastard Ye Qilu suffer a setback. What do you say in Sheng Dynasty? Whatever he did, I will fight back..."
"Treat others in their own way." Qin Chongxiao said.
"Yes, that's it." Wu Shilie said loudly, "Tomorrow I will have people spread the word that the person he picked lost to one of my maids and give him a good slap in the face."
Wu Shilie looked at the hero of this time and said, "Saienwan, you did a great job."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Jingwan did not forget to remind, "I hope Your Highness will remember your promise to me."
Wu Shilie waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will immediately announce that no one will be allowed to plunder the border of Sheng Dynasty in the future."
"Also, I will punish the people who kidnapped you this time."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
But she knew this was not a long-term solution.
The Western Rong and the Sheng Dynasty will definitely fight, and the people will still suffer.
Only by completely defeating the Xirong can there be lasting peace on the northwestern border.
At this moment, a guard came in to deliver a message.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chongxiao said, "No."
