Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

"you……"

Tuoba Ke's face turned pale, he took two steps back, his eyes kept changing, just like when Ling Tian was reciting a poem.

A sense of familiarity.

Flooding into my heart.

Ghost face?

That's right!

Just for a moment, Ling Tian and Gui Mian overlapped perfectly in front of Tuoba Ke.

"Impossible." Tuoba Ke couldn't believe it and could only shake her head frantically. Her mind was completely confused and she even lost the most basic judgment.

"Three princesses."

Ling Tian took advantage of the situation and pursued him, saying aggressively: "Now that Your Highness has tamed the white horse in public, can you give away five thousand good horses as agreed?"

"absurd."

Tuoba Hong angrily rebuked: "Five thousand fine horses are such a treasure, how can we give them away for nothing?"

"Really?" Ling Tian snorted coldly: "Today, we are betting in public. Do you, Bei Zhou, want to break your promise to the world?"

Just as Tuoba Hong was about to say something, Tuoba Ke whispered, "Sixth Prince, you may be overthinking it. You said before that this bet is not aimed at the two countries."

"It's just a private bet between you and me."

"Even if I lose, how can I be said to have lost my credibility?"

really.

Ling Tian was not in a hurry: "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. In my Daqian, there has always been an unspoken rule that debts can be repaid with goods."

"Five thousand war horses, at the market price of one thousand taels of silver each, would be worth five million taels of silver."

"Obviously the Third Princess doesn't have that much right now."

"Your Highness can take a little loss and pay off your debt with one month's money."

"You dare." Tuoba Ke's face turned red, his eyelashes trembled, and he felt like he was lifting a rock to drop on himself.

"What a joke! You are here to stay in my Daqian Palace. Today, all the civil and military officials in my Daqian court can testify to this." Ling Tian got off his horse and stared at Tuoba Ke in front of him: "Why wouldn't I dare?"

After Ling Tian finished speaking, he turned and looked at Emperor Wu: "Father, you have acquiesced to the bet just now. Now the three princesses of Northern Zhou want to break the contract. I am brave enough to ask for your permission today. I hope your Majesty will give the order."

"Bring these three princesses of Northern Zhou to my house, tied up and tied up."

"The Northern Zhou Dynasty has evil ambitions and wants to humiliate our Daqian under the pretext of marriage. Today, I, your son, am willing to join the game and promote the marriage plan."

Ling Tian's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and they sounded powerful, attracting the support of all the generals in the court.

"Not good." Xiao Yuanshan's heart sank. Ling Tian occupied everything at this moment and he was unable to refute.

Emperor Wu was very happy: "Old Sixth Master really gives me surprises from time to time."

"I didn't expect that he would break the situation by such means."

"It is really a blessing for me."

Emperor Wu thought about it and waved his hand.

at once.

The elite troops came out together and surrounded the Northern Zhou delegation in an instant.

"His Majesty."

Tuoba Ke's expression suddenly changed: "Today's matter is just a bet between me and His Majesty the Sixth Prince. If Your Majesty intervenes at this time, the nature of the matter will change."

Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "Third Princess, I think you misunderstood. When did I ever say I would attack you?"

“Your Majesty, what are you doing…” Before Tuoba Ke could finish his words, Emperor Wu stood up and looked at Ling Tian with burning eyes.

hum.

The latter's heart trembled: "Father."

"Lao Liu."

Emperor Wu whispered: "According to the military system of Daqian Prefecture, you, as a prince, have no title and do not command the army."

"But today is your wedding day, and it's when you truly become an adult."

“Although I cannot command the army, I can still have my confidants.”

"These thirty elite soldiers are my personal guards. From today on, they will be your followers."

"You are their new master."

The words of Emperor Wu shocked all the ministers. Xiao Yuanshan's heart trembled fiercely: "Your Majesty is going to open up the Sixth Prince's authority to control the palace soldiers."

Ling Tian was also stunned for a moment. He never expected that Emperor Wu would give such a big gift.

really!

Shocked.

Before everyone could come to their senses, the thirty elite soldiers turned around at the same time. The man in armor knelt down in an instant and said, "I, Xiang Qi, pay my respects to the Sixth Prince."

thump!

thump!

All the elite soldiers knelt down in unison and shouted, "Greetings to the Sixth Prince."

"Meet the Sixth Prince."

"Meet the Sixth Prince."

The sound of the elite soldiers' surrender resounded deep in everyone's mind, and their ears and eyes kept buzzing. Although there were only thirty of them, these thirty people were the personal guards of Emperor Wu and were also the strongest men picked from a hundred in the entire Daqian.

These thirty people are all fierce monsters on the battlefield.

Xiang Qi bowed and said, "Sixth Prince, from now on we are willing to serve you, and no one can humiliate you at will."

"There are those who disobey."

"Kill without mercy."

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes, realizing that this was the Emperor Wu's way of doing things, and he did not try to hide it: "Xiang Qi, since Tuoba Ke has lost the bet and is unwilling to fulfill it, tie him up and bring him to my tent."

"I will teach you well."

"Yes." Xiang Qi didn't waste any words and turned around to attack.

"Damn it." Tuoba Ke had been completely tricked and no longer had the strength to resist: "Wait."

"How is it?" Ling Tian joked: "The Third Princess has thought it through."

"Shameless."

Tuoba Ke angrily shouted: "I am willing to give you five thousand fine horses, but I hope that Your Highness can agree to me that the five thousand fine horses belong to Your Highness."

"If I find you, use me as a weapon."

"It is a declaration of war against our Northern Zhou."

Tuoba Ke knew that the reason why Northern Zhou had been able to negotiate with Daqian for many years was because of its greatest reliance on cavalry. The Daqian cavalry must not be allowed to grow, otherwise Northern Zhou would be defeated.

"Of course." Ling Tian snorted, "But words are not enough, how can I believe you?"

"I am willing to write a document." Tuoba Ke was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"Okay." Ling Tian said seriously, "But you need to write clearly on the IOU that if the warhorse cannot be delivered on time, Princess Tuoba Ke of Northern Zhou is willing to serve the Sixth Prince of Daqian with her own body."

"And leave a token as proof, in case I ask you to pay the interest in the future and you refuse to acknowledge it."

Tuoba Ke was so angry that he was about to explode, his body shaking wildly: "Sixth Prince, are you really going to do this?"

"nonsense."

Ling Tian said disdainfully: "Don't you think about it, if I had lost the bet just now, would you have shown any mercy?"

"it is good."

Tuoba Ke snorted: "It is I, Tuoba Ke, who is in trouble today, but Sixth Prince, don't be too proud."

"Five thousand good horses are not something you can control."

Tuoba Ke said without hesitation, and raised his hand: "Pen and ink."

soon.

Someone prepared something for Tuoba Ke. Tuoba Ke wrote a clear IOU. Ling Tian looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "Where is the token?"

"Asshole." Tuoba Ke was furious, but he had no choice but to throw away his jade pendant: "This is the royal token of my Northern Zhou Dynasty. The holder of the token is within my Northern Zhou territory."

“You can travel freely.”

"Those who do not kneel when seeing the token within the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"It is a capital crime."

Ling Tian took the token and played with it carefully: "Isn't this just a jade pendant? But I believe you."

"Scoundrel."

Tuoba Ke labeled Ling Tian in his heart and turned away angrily. Tuoba Hong had no choice but to follow him.

Ling Tian then turned around and held up the things in his hand: "Father, these are things from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. I am willing to hand them over in full."

"As for the personal guards that Father gave me just now, I dare not take them."

"I dare to ask you to revoke your order."

Ling Tian's words were so powerful that everyone was even more shocked.

It is understandable that war horses are not wanted.

I can understand why you don't want an IOU.

If he didn't want the personal guards, wouldn't that be an insult to Emperor Wu in public, which would definitely make the Emperor angry.

"Fool."

Ling Yu felt amused and gave Ling Xu a look. The latter understood and quickly tried to show off: "Sixth brother, you are going too far."

"Just now, the emperor has awarded you his personal guards in public."

"Don't you know the truth that a gentleman should not joke?"

"You want the emperor to take back his decision now. Isn't this embarrassing for the emperor?"

idiot!

Ling Tian was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot: "Father, as a prince, I am not capable of commanding troops now."

"I hope that Your Majesty can understand my painstaking efforts."

"And now Daqian's war horses are scarce. If we can get these 5,000 fine horses, I believe that our Daqian cavalry will be able to reach a new level."

"absurd."

Xiao Yuanshan accused: "Sixth Prince, what do you think His Majesty is?"

"You have just promised Tuoba Ke that these five thousand fine horses will never be taken into the military camp. Are you trying to sow discord between the two countries?"

"You really want to watch all the people suffer, don't you?"

"Fool."

Ling Tian was disdainful in his heart and snorted, "Duke Xiao, as a minister of Daqian, do you also want to maintain the relationship between the two countries by showing weakness through marriage?"

"The national conditions of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were determined. The Northern Zhou Dynasty needed to continue to expand."

"Only war can keep the Northern Zhou Dynasty alive."

"Besides, our Daqian relies on martial arts to gain a foothold, and our ancestors have long since given us this instruction."

"The only way to forge iron is to be strong yourself."

"Only when you are strong enough can you have the courage to face all the enemies that come to attack you."

Ling Tian's words left Xiao Yuanshan speechless. He could only hold on to his pigtails and said, "But Sixth Prince, you clearly promised Tuoba Ke not to let the five thousand fine horses go to the battlefield."

"Do you want His Majesty to lose the trust of the world?"

"Ah."

Ling Tian smiled confidently: "Duke Xiao, when did I ever say that I would send five thousand fine horses into the battlefield?"

“As we all know, no matter how good a horse is, it is a matter of life and death the moment it steps onto the battlefield.”

"Good horses are already scarce in Daqian. If we want to rely on 5,000 good horses to face 200,000 cavalrymen from Northern Zhou on the battlefield, isn't that just wishful thinking?"

Xiao Yuanshan sneered: "What does your highness want?"

Emperor Wu's gaze also fell on Ling Tian. Today's Ling Tian made people feel...

strangeness.

Emperor Wu whispered, "Sixth Brother, tell me what you think."

Ling Tian cupped his hands and said, "Father, it is fate that our Daqian war horses are weak. When we fight against the Northern Zhou, the casualty ratio can reach an astonishing three to one."

"But it's not hopeless."

"Once we have obtained the five thousand fine horses, Father can use the Royal Horse Farm to train them, and then recruit excellent horses from all over the country for breeding."

"Within three years, the quality of our Daqian war horses will achieve a qualitative leap."

"That's when."

"We can still fight against the barbarians of Northern Zhou."

Exchange of blood with seeds.

Change bloodline.

The war horses born from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty complement each other and are the most suitable breed for Daqian.

When Emperor Wu thought of this, his eyes flashed with brilliance. He slapped the table with his big hand and stood up in an instant. His burning eyes fell on Ling Tian: "Sixth Brother."

"Tell me, who taught you this?"
