Mother, I have returned to the throne.

"Hahaha, good good!"

"My son is great, really great!"

On the dragon chair.

Song Youji's arms were shaking slightly, tears streaming down his face.

Originally, he had even decided to let go of the humiliation. At worst, he would bow his head and bear the crime of being a cowardly emperor!

After the death of the crown prince, the court fell apart.

This battle must not be fought!

But who knows.

Now that Song Yuan has stepped forward, not only has the conflict between the two sides been avoided!

Even brought unexpected surprises.

Even the previously lost land was recovered!

Is this still the cowardly son I remember?

With a bit of pride.

Song Youji raised his eyebrows, looked at the high priest Bulma, and said proudly.

"High Priest, do you have anything else to say?"

"Now that my son has won, according to the rules, you must first pay your respects to me, and then return the land you previously occupied!"

"You are a great and powerful country, are you really going to refuse to pay your debts on such a small matter?"

"I……"

Faced with such questioning, Bulma, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted.

Looking back at Song Yuan's chess moves, they were definitely not superb!

The so-called double-headed cannon is just taking advantage of the opportunity!

Bulma glared at the boy fiercely, feeling resentful. If her apprentice hadn't had preconceived notions, how could he not have seen through such a trick?

He doesn't agree!

Bulma just thought that Song Yuan was able to win just by taking advantage of the situation.

Play psychological tactics.

What real ability is that?

"Your Majesty, I refuse to accept!"

Bulma took a step forward, stiffened her neck and spoke, while giving Song Yuan a provocative look.

"My apprentice was simply careless. He lost because of his mentality, not his chess skills!"

"We've said before that this is a competition of true kung fu. Your Highness is using some tricks. How can you convince the crowd?"

You're a scoundrel, right?

When Bulma said this, everyone was excited!

You are the high priest, but you don’t care about your dignity anymore, right?

"This barbarian is truly despicable. He mocked us before, and now that he's inferior in skills, he's still trying to make excuses!"

"It's normal for such a remote place, but the high priest just made a promise with His Highness. If he wants to break it so easily now, he's simply dreaming!"

"That's right. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Could the High Priest really dare to act like a scoundrel in front of His Majesty?"

"Damn it, I say these barbarians are born to be rebellious. One day, when their horses trample on the grasslands, no matter how strong you are, they will all bow their heads and turn against you. They won't care if you are a high priest or not, they will all be killed!"

Bulma's bad behavior completely aroused the anger of everyone.

Even Song Youji frowned and snorted coldly.

"Humph, you barbarians, you gamble when you say you want to gamble, and you don't count when you say you don't want to count. Do you really think that the whole world is your land?"

"High Priest, I see you are a respectable man, but you insist on bringing the two countries to blows. Aren't you afraid that your actions will be spread among the barbarians and you will become a laughing stock in the world?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not trying to quibble, I'm just unwilling to give up!" Bulma insisted.

"You might as well kill me if you make me bow my head like this, unless..."

"Unless what?" Song Youji asked.

Bulma responded, "My apprentice is still young and has never seen such a grand occasion. It is inevitable that he will perform poorly. The eldest prince won, but it can't be considered a real skill!"

"Unless I play a game of chess with the Great Emperor in person, and if he can still beat me, then I will be truly convinced!"

"hehe!"

A sneer interrupted Bulma's shameless statement.

As the protagonist, Song Yuan takes a step forward.

"High Priest, I can see that you never considered fulfilling the bet from the beginning. What difference does it make whether you bet or not?"

"Father, I think we should cut off the high priest's tongue and then announce to the world what happened tonight. I want everyone to see how shameless this barbarian is!"

"You still want to gamble again? You didn't even want to fulfill the previous bet, so what qualifications do you have to say this?"

"I can add conditions!" Bulma gritted her teeth and said viciously.

"If you can defeat me this time, the previous conditions will remain the same. Not only that, I, the Manyi, can guarantee that I will not harm your Great Qin in the next three years!"

"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, we can write it down in black and white. You might be able to use tricks against my apprentice, but you will definitely reveal your true colors when facing me!"

"No!" Seeing Bulma adding more chips, Song Youji was the first to object.

His Highness and his ministers shook their heads again and again.

"Can you still trust the words of barbarians? I think they are a joke!"

"This is so infuriating! I might as well just kill this high priest. I must tell the whole world that the majesty of the Great Qin must not be offended!"

"I only regret that I can't lead the troops myself and fight on the battlefield. These barbarians are truly despicable!"

Only Song Yuan narrowed his eyes.

When the discussions among the crowd gradually died down, Song Yuan suddenly spoke.

"High Priest, it's not impossible to have another bet, but since you regretted it before, even if we make a bet now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain people's trust, right?"

"How about this? Do you have anything valuable on you? Give it to me first as collateral!"

"If you lose at that time, not only will you have to fulfill the previous conditions, but the mortgaged items will also belong to me!"

"Similarly, if I lose, I'll give you treasures of equal value to what you pledged. This way, there's something in the jackpot, and it's not just empty talk. That'll give me peace of mind!"

The barbarians are rich and their various goods are famous throughout the world.

Whether it is a war horse or fur, even if you take any of them out and put them in the Qin Dynasty, they would definitely be considered a rare item!

It's just because of the nomadic habit that there is a shortage of food.

But it does not affect the image of the barbarians in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty. They are clearly local rich people!

Song Yuan has absolute confidence in his chess skills, so what's the harm in taking another gamble?

However, in Song Yuan's view, simply striving for benefits for Daqin is far from enough to satisfy his appetite.

Aren’t you short of money?

If you can take this opportunity to fill your pockets, that would be truly killing two birds with one stone!

So what if I take a risk?

"Okay!" Bulma said without any hesitation, and whistled at the envoy behind her.

Hope!

Outside the venue, the sound of horses neighing was heard.

The barbarians actually dared to ride horses into this palace. They are so bold!

"Your Highness, my barbarian warhorses are renowned throughout the world, especially the ones my team has equipped this time. Even among the barbarians, they are definitely top-notch horses!"

"Now, outside the banquet, there are a total of fifty horses. If they were exchanged for gold, they would be worth ten thousand taels!"

"I will use this as collateral. If I am ultimately defeated by you, all fifty horses will be yours. I will ask Your Highness for your help."

"Do you dare to fight me again?"
