The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

In fact, both Wanyan Junhao and Wanyan Junhui were telling the truth. One hated Jing Zhiyuan, and the other admired him. The reason why the Grand Preceptor Wulindaku did not stop them was because he was also testing Bei Ye's bottom line.

If Bei Ye could really give Jing Zhiyuan to them, then he believed that Jing Xue might come along too, since he was her biological father. Even if they didn't give him to them, they had already dug a pit for Jing Zhiyuan. Didn't everyone say that Jing Zhiyuan was plotting a rebellion?

The fact that Cangbei has come directly to demand people means that even if it's not treason, it's still a crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.

The retired emperor did not stop them from arguing, but the old man's face darkened.

"It seems you're not in charge of Bei Ye, so Princess Zhan, your word doesn't count!" Wanyan Junhao raised his head defiantly, his anger directed at the Emperor Emeritus.

"No matter what your intentions are, Jingzhiyuan will not give it to you. I can make the decision!" the Emperor Emeritus said solemnly.

Upon seeing this situation, the Imperial Preceptor Ulindaku said, "Your Majesty, please don't take it seriously. These young people are just arguing a bit, it's nothing serious. How about we all take some of our own accessories as prizes?"

The Empress Dowager spoke up at the opportune moment, "The Imperial Advisor's idea is good. I will set an example first." As she spoke, she took off a gold hairpin from her head, and a young eunuch brought her a tray.

The ministers took out their jade pendants or small accessories and placed them on the tray.

When they reached Jingxue, Jingxue took out a gold ingot and placed it on the plate.

"Let's begin!" the retired emperor announced loudly.

Standing behind the Emperor Emeritus, Baili Zhan kept observing Jingxue and could tell that she was truly angry.

Cangbei brought many experts with him this time, while Beiye's side consisted mainly of Imperial Guards, except for the Dark Guards.

So, in the first event, archery, it was said that the archers from Cangbei hit the bullseye nine out of ten times at the very beginning.

The competition only allows soldiers; even though Ye Muchen is highly skilled, he cannot participate.

He felt that he might lose this round. He also heard Jingxue and Wanyan Junhao arguing. Since he wouldn't use Jing Zhiyuan as a bet, he didn't care much about the result.

Jingxue called Runyue over and said something to her. Runyue then ran to Gaochi's side and whispered a few words to him.

The sharpshooter from Cangbei was already challenging them: "Is there anyone else who wants to come up and compete? If not, Cangbei will win this round."

“I’ll do it!” Gao Chi shouted.

Ye Muchen didn't stop her; he knew it was Jingxue who had given the order when he saw Runyue running over.

"Who is that?"

"They look like the War King's guards?"

"Huh? Is his archery skill such that he can hit every target?"

"I don't know! Let's wait and see!"

Whispers arose from the crowd. Gao Chi heard Runyue say that the princess told him to just perform normally. He knew what the princess was going to do. He knew from the first time he was tied to a tree that his princess was capable.

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all.

Jingxue wasn't worried at all. With her superpowers, she knew it wouldn't be too difficult for her to hit the bullseye with her arrows.

When Gao Chi hit the bullseye with his ninth arrow, everyone held their breath for him.

"Bang!" The tenth arrow hit the bullseye as expected.

"Great! Brother Gao is awesome!" Runyue shouted loudly, then stuck out her tongue at Wan Yanjunhao and rolled her eyes.

"Who else dares to challenge Brother Gao! Humph!" Runyue's loud voice was not drowned out by the crowd's voices, and everyone could hear it clearly. Wanyan Junhao was so angry that his cheeks puffed out and his eyes widened.

"Next!" Wanyan Junhao shouted.

This time, each side sent five people to fight in pairs. In the first round, Jingxue did not know the strength of the Beiye soldiers. Besides, she did not intend to get involved at first and just wanted to watch the show.

However, Wanyan Junhao and his brother's words angered her, so she would not let Cangbei win any of the games today.

Sure enough, none of the soldiers from Beiye who participated in the competition knew how they won. The five soldiers didn't have much confidence in winning, as everyone knew that wrestling was the specialty of the Cangbei people.

But as if divine intervention was helping them, they won with ease.

"Impossible!" Wanyan Junhao slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Are you cheating?" he said, glaring at the group from Bei Ye.

No one dared to speak.

Jingxue crossed her arms and said leisurely, "We Beiye people value evidence the most. If you accuse us of cheating, produce evidence. Otherwise, you're just a sore loser and cheating!"

"You can't possibly beat us!" Wanyan Junhao slammed his hand on the table.

"Pah!" Leap Month spat.

"Anything is possible in this world. It's okay. If you lose, go back and practice hard, and then come back to challenge again!" Jingxue said, pulling her mask up a little.

The members of the Cangbei delegation did not look very good; they never expected that they would lose this round.

Unexpectedly, Jingxue added, "If Beiye wins one more match, will the competition be over? Let's get started! I'm in a hurry to get back and make dumplings!"

The Cangbei man on the other side was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

The Emperor Emeritus's eyebrows were practically flying with joy, and the others couldn't hide their delight either. There were still three items left. They weren't as daring as Jingxue, but surely they could win at least one of them? Wouldn't that mean Bei Ye would win the competition?

This time, the retired emperor called out, "Next item!"

There is a row of stone locks in the open space, from small to large. These stone locks have never been moved since they were built. They have always been placed on the side of the open space like sculptures, or more like a fence.

The rules of the competition were that whoever could lift the stone weights from smallest to largest would win. The heaviest stone weight was one meter tall, and if Leap Moon were standing behind it, his head would probably be sticking out.

To be honest, none of the soldiers on the North Night side had any confidence in this task; they all went forward with the mindset that they were bound to lose.

The man sent out by Cangbei was a very robust man. He took off his upper robe, leaving only a single garment, and you could feel his muscles even through the clothes.

Jingxue remained leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed, while Wanyan Junhao raised his fist and shouted, "Yelü Tu, you've won this round for this prince!"

The man said in a deep, muffled voice, "Second Prince, don't worry!" He then gave Jingxue and the others a disdainful look.

Enraged by the leap month, she retorted, "Who will win is still uncertain! Humph!"

The children joined in the "humming" along with the leap month! Only the second princess, with too much dried fruit in her mouth, didn't hum.

With a signal to begin, Yelü Tu started by raising his hand, and Bei Ye sent out a relatively strong soldier who followed Yelü Tu.

Everyone craned their necks to look. There were nine stone locks in total. The smaller ones that Yelü Tu had initially raised were all held with one hand.

The soldier from Kita-Ye-de could only lift things with both hands.

However, he didn't think these stone locks were very heavy. Every time he was worried that he wouldn't be able to lift them, but once he put his hands on them, he felt very relaxed.

When they reached the last and largest stone lock, Yelü Tu used all his strength in both hands, but the stone lock only moved slightly, and he could not lift it up.

The soldier from the North Night next to him had already lifted up and placed the adjacent stone lock.

Yelü Tu's face began to sweat, and he shouted, "Ah!"
