The envoy from the Xihua Kingdom thought about it and realized that what they prepared was different from what the Dongling Kingdom had prepared. The Dongling Kingdom had prepared the same thing as last year, with nothing new at all!
What they prepared were Western musical instruments.
And I didn’t even try, so I couldn’t explain it to Khan when I got back.
The envoy from Xihua Kingdom stood up and said to Emperor Nalan: "Your Majesty Nalan, the performances performed by your country and Dongling Kingdom just now were so wonderful! It was so shocking! Your country is really full of talents. Its attainments in rituals and music are simply incredible. No one can match it! Today we, the princess of Xihua Kingdom, will also challenge the musicians of Nalan Kingdom."
"To add a little more excitement, if our country, Xihua, loses, we will tribute an additional hundred good horses to your country every year! If we win, our country, Xihua, will no longer have to pay tribute to good horses in the future, okay?"
The emperor snorted in his heart, he was really not afraid of death: "Messenger from Xihua Kingdom, since you want to be excited, the prize should be bigger! Otherwise it won't be fun! If our Nalan Kingdom wins, you Xihua will pay tribute with 500 good horses! And how about giving Xihua Kingdom and Qinna City to us? This is exciting enough!"
He had been to the northwest border when he was young. He looked at the grassland and the herds of cattle, horses and sheep with envy.
It's a pity that Nalan Kingdom does not have such a large grassland. If Qinna City is included, there will be an extra thousand miles of grassland.
How many more cattle, sheep and horses can they raise each year? !
Do we still need to eagerly wait for them to pay tribute and try our best to buy it
There were constant riots and minor wars at the borders of various countries. Without Shiqi going, Nalan Kingdom would lose seven out of ten games.
He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack!
The ministers and soldiers of Nalan Kingdom have been arrogant and extravagant for too long!
If they don't become stronger themselves, the country will be destroyed within fifty years!
He wants to reverse this situation in his lifetime!
Otherwise, you will die in peace!
The envoy from Xihua Kingdom was a little hesitant after hearing this.
Losing a piece of grassland is not something that he alone can decide!
If he agrees and loses, he will become the eternal sinner of Xihua Kingdom!
The envoy sent by Xihua Kingdom this time looked at the princess beside him.
"Princess, what should I do? Do you want to compete?" He said in Spanish.
Princess Hua Qian of Xihua Kingdom pretended to look in a certain direction casually.
Someone's left ear moved in that direction.
The left ear moves and can move.
Hua Qian's eyes turned to the Lord Hui'an, and she babbled a bunch of words that no one could understand.
The envoy from the Northwest Kingdom nodded after hearing this, and then said to Emperor Nalan: "Your Majesty Nalan, our princess said that she would accept the challenge. But a city as a lottery prize is too valuable!
So the rules of the competition are determined by us, making the competition a little more difficult! You can only send one musician to challenge our three musicians from Xihua.
The same is the principle of winning two out of three sets! But if the Nalan Kingdom loses, our Xihua Kingdom will not have to pay tribute every year in the future, and the Nalan Kingdom will give us one hundred thousand catties of grain every autumn. How about that? "
Just when the emperor was about to agree, Princess Hua Qian of Xihua Kingdom stepped forward and said: "And if our Xihua Kingdom wins, King Jin of your country needs to marry me!"
The whole place was in an uproar when these words came out!
King Jin will marry her
This Princess Hua Qian is so shameless!
Everyone looked at King Jin.
Nalan Jinnian's face turned dark!
Guo Mingyan was the first to shout: "This is not allowed! King Jin is already engaged!"
"Oh? We are engaged, who are you engaged to? Miss Guo, do you want to talk to you? But as far as I know, you have canceled the engagement. And aren't you engaged to the grandson of the great emperor of your country now?" Princess Hua Qian said in surprise .
The eldest emperor's grandson had a dark face.
What does Guo Mingyan want to do
It's such a disgrace to him!
Guo Mingyan opened her mouth and blushed, wanting to say that she didn't want to marry the grandson of the eldest emperor, she would only marry King Jin!
But when she met her grandfather's warning eyes and realized that too many people were looking at her, she shut up.
Hua Qian then said: "If Emperor Nalan accepts it, then invite a musician to come out and compete!"
Today, their Xihua Kingdom prepared performances of three Western musical instruments.
As the saying goes, "There are specialties in one's profession." A good flute player may not necessarily be able to play the piano, and a drum player may not be able to play the flute!
Western musical instruments were originally the "secret weapon" they thought of using to challenge the Nalan Kingdom this year.
They had also sent people to find out before that there were no musicians in Nalan who were learning Western musical instruments. The man's left ear just now also moved.
Besides, Hua Qian felt that the Nalan Congress would send the Lord Hui'an, who had a better skill than the Dongling musicians, to compete.
The girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
At such a young age, it is obvious that he has spent a lot of time and effort learning the piano with such outstanding skills.
In this way, it is impossible to learn other musical instruments, let alone Western instruments
After weighing the pros and cons, Hua Qian felt that she had a winning chance!
Nalan Jinnian snorted coldly: "Then let's not compete! Who cares?"
The Emperor: "There's no comparison in this case, haha!"
He was even angry, why were both of them thinking about his seventeenth emperor brother!
He absolutely cannot agree to it this time. The consequences of the last marriage decree were too disastrous!
The envoy from the Kingdom of Xihua was anxious. How could the princess make such a decision
The mission this time is that there is no need to pay tribute to Nalan Kingdom in the future.
The princess is good at everything, but she is so beautiful. There are several faces in the princess's house, and they are all as beautiful as flowers.
He quickly smiled and said: "Our princess is just joking! As I said just now, if your country wins, we will transfer the city of Qinna to Nalan Country, and add 500 more war horses every year. If we win, There will be no need to pay tribute every year from now on, and your country will give us one hundred thousand catties of grain every autumn! How about that?"
Nalan Jinnian did not fall for his trick: "What are the rules of the game?"
"Let's select three musicians to compete with your country. Each musician plays a different instrument. As long as the musician from your country can win two games, your country will win!"
Nalan Jinnian raised his eyebrows: In other words, they have to pick a musician who is proficient in at least two instruments at the same time to win.
The Minister of Rites couldn't help scolding him in his heart! The envoys of these subordinate countries are getting more and more difficult to deal with!
It is said that there is specialization in the arts. How can someone who is proficient in two instruments at the same time be better than someone who specializes in the same instrument
Who to look for? The Lord of Hui'an County is so young that it is impossible for him to be proficient in two musical instruments.
The Xihua envoy continued: "How about it? Isn't it true that a great country like Huanhuan can't find someone who is proficient in two musical instruments?"
Li Wanwan smiled at this time: "How is that possible! Our County Master Hui'an is versatile, and we should know a few musical instruments! Your Majesty, let County Master Hui'an come on!"
Guo Mingyan also smiled and said: "That's right! Just now, County Master Hui'an's piano skills caused the Dongling envoy to defeat without a fight, so he voluntarily surrendered! Let the Xihua envoy also experience it!"
…
The Minister of Rites looked at Wen Wan: "Wen Wan, are you confident to go up?"
Wen Wan lowered her head and whispered: "Sir, I can only play the piano, but I know nothing else!"
She would never embarrass Nuan Nuan!
She had already lost just now, and it would be terrible if she lost again this time! Everyone will think that she is in vain.
Let everyone promote Nuan Wen to shame him! Wen Wan lowered her head and revealed a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

It is equivalent to twenty chapters of other books that cost five book coins for one chapter~~ (This is self-comfort, I also think why do I get so few chapters????)
