You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials present were laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter.

Looking at the Loulan envoy and the young man in white, their faces had already become extremely dark, and their faces and necks were flushed from holding back their anger.

"Sun Shangde, you can retire to the mountains! You are really bringing shame to Loulan!"

The young man in white appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was filled with hatred and wanted to go into battle himself right away.

Sun Shangde felt humiliated after being scolded by the young man in white and being dragged and pulled by the Loulan envoy.

Although the outcome of the literary duel was already decided, the young man in white seemed not to be convinced at all and still insisted on a third round of competition.

"Empress Daye, although we have lost two games, let's just say you won by luck, but this prince will not accept it.

The third round of competition will be set by this prince himself, so listen carefully!

This time the topic is painting, which requires you to draw the opponent's rivers and kingdoms in detail. The time limit is still one stick of incense. Let's get started!"

What shocked everyone present was that this time the young man in white did not compare himself to writing poetry, but instead changed to painting.

It was an indisputable fact that Du Qingwan was recognized for her real talent and knowledge, and all the court officials agreed that there was no need to continue the competition.

One reason was to prepare for the possibility that the Loulan envoys would cheat and win this final competition, thereby taking the opportunity to humiliate Daye.

Secondly, they were really worried that Du Qingwan couldn't paint, and would be defeated without a fight, which would be embarrassing.

Soon, some dissenting voices emerged in the hall.

"Prince Wanyan, you set the rules of the competition, best of three.

We have already won two games, is there any need to continue the competition?

In my opinion, both sides should conserve their strength and prepare well for tomorrow's fight!"

As the head of the Hanlin Academy, Zhong Shanzhu was timid and did not dare to fight, which had already lost face.

At this moment, Du Qingwan had already won two games by chance, so he naturally would not be vague anymore. He was the first to stand up and strongly opposed the third round of competition.

His face was full of pride and complacency, as if he had won the previous two competitions personally.

Zhang Xingguo usually doesn't take this kind of competition seriously, but this competition concerns the reputation of Daye, so he had to speak out:

“Prince Wanyan, what Dean Zhong said is absolutely right.

You have already lost two competitions, the outcome is already determined.

Even if you can really win this third game, it won't change anything, so why bother yourself with that?"

Zhang Xingguo's expression was unusually cold, and his tone of voice was extremely sharp.

Every word between the lines is full of sarcasm towards Loulan.

"That's right! It's very important to conserve your energy. Everyone, take a break, relax, and fight again tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Minister of Revenue Li Yi could no longer hold back.

He coughed twice, walked up to the young man in white with a gloomy face, and spoke with a smile, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

All the civil and military officials in the court understood what he meant, but they also felt sad.

Faced with the predetermined outcome, no one except the three Loulan envoys would want to make such a low-level mistake and seek humiliation for themselves.

Zhu Yunhao looked very interested and drank his tea calmly, but his eyes quietly fell on Du Qingwan.

He never dreamed that Du Qingwan, an unpopular daughter of a general, would possess such extraordinary talent.

Not only can he crush all the civil and military officials in the court, but he can also make Sun Shangde, who is known as the number one family in Loulan, admit defeat with conviction.

"That's wrong! Although the outcome is set, giving up halfway is definitely not our habit in Loulan!

So, we have to compete in this round. Could it be that you are afraid and dare not continue to fight?"

The young man in white didn't care, his face was extremely gloomy.

His face was full of arrogance and his attitude was extremely overbearing.

It looked like he was going to win this round no matter what.

"You? You're simply a laughing stock! Why should we agree to continue competing with you?"

Zhang Xingguo could no longer bear it and immediately responded angrily.

He just wanted to end the competition as soon as possible and drive the three Loulan envoys out of Daye City quickly to avoid any further trouble.

But the young man in white was determined to proceed to the third round of competition and ignored Zhang Xingguo at all. He still looked arrogant and even wanted to act like a rogue.

"Prime Minister Zhang, don't you feel a little ashamed to let a deposed queen fight in your place?

This prince has made it clear that we must have the third round of competition!

Otherwise, the previous two rounds of competition will be invalidated!"

What completely surprised everyone present was that the young man in white was so arrogant that he threatened that if Daye did not agree to a third round of competition, the two games he had won previously would be invalidated immediately.

Upon hearing this, Du Qingwan immediately became angry, and her eyes gradually became cold.

[It seems that the Loulan prince is a stubborn person who is determined to win back the game even at the cost of his life.]

[I finally won two competitions. If I don’t continue this one, I will really fall into the trap of the Loulan people.]

[That dog emperor Zhu Yunhao promised me three requests.

If I give up the competition now, wouldn't that mean I'm throwing away a great opportunity to leave this damn place?]

[No! I must win this round, and I must increase the stakes so that Prince Loulan will lose everything!]

With turmoil in her heart, after some self-trouble and persuasion, Du Qingwan decided to accept the third round of challenge.

His eyes stayed on the young man in white for three seconds, and he couldn't help but curl his lips and smile complacently.

She flicked her sleeves lightly, turned around and sat elegantly at a small table.

"Prince Wanyan, I accept your challenge! But I want to add another reward!

If I win this round, I want you, Loulan, to promise not to fight Daye again for a hundred years!"

Du Qingwan spoke calmly, with confidence that she would succeed, completely ignoring the surprise of the three Loulan envoys.

The Loulan envoy stepped forward to refuse, but was stopped by the young man in white.

"Okay! I will do as you say! But if I win this round, all previous bets will be void!"

What is even more shocking is that the young man in white would actually make such a shameless request.

He clearly wants to cheat!

"What if I don't agree? Prince Wanyan, your Loulan is just a small country. Do you dare to break the agreement in the palace of Daye?"

Before anyone could express their opinions, Zhu Yunhao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly became furious and slammed the table.

There are limits to his tolerance.

He had tolerated the three Loulan envoys for a long time.

Now it has reached a point where it is no longer tolerable.

Who allowed the young man in white to go further and break the contract at will?

"Then I will go back and report the truth to my father. I will massacre your country of Daye and never be friends with you again!"

What almost made Zhu Yunhao faint from anger was that the young man in white directly expressed his attitude with a provocative look on his face.

His legs immediately went weak and his heart ached for no apparent reason.

Although Loulan was only a small neighboring country in Mobei, most of its people were engaged in animal husbandry, and its economy and culture were quite backward.

However, Loulan was rich in mineral resources, and its indigenous residents were brave and good at fighting, and they particularly liked to plunder cities.

If Daye refuses to hold the third round of competition, and the three Loulan princes return to their country to report to the King of Loulan, then the two countries are bound to be in a fierce battle.

Once a war breaks out, the people who will suffer the most in the end are tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

Although Zhu Yunhao was extremely stupid and licentious, he knew very well how he got the throne.

Originally, the people of Daye found it hard to believe that he ascended the throne.

There were even some remnants of the previous dynasty who secretly rebelled.

If he cannot stop this fierce battle with Loulan, then Daye will inevitably be in chaos.

Whether he can still sit on the dragon throne at that time is another matter.
