"Wait a moment! How can you prove that this poem is your creation?" the Ninth Princess asked defiantly.
"Ninth Princess, you're courting death. You can speak plainly; there's no need for such shameless behavior!" Su Qianxue retorted without a hint of retreat.
As soon as these words were spoken, the female guards in the court drew their swords, glaring at the Ninth Princess.
In a poetry contest, if one doubts the source of the opponent's work, it is nothing short of a rogue act! Moreover, the accused party could never prove their innocence! The best course of action was to display their martial prowess, using force to intimidate the opponent into backing down; otherwise, this situation could not possibly continue.
The Ninth Princess's gaze darkened as she noticed the guards preparing to act. She realized that her words were unreasonable.
Hong Qianjun also fixed a stern look on the Ninth Princess and said, "Ninth Princess, one can afford to lose, but one cannot afford to lose and act like a rogue!"
"Hong Dajia, you—!" The Ninth Princess hadn't expected that she would have a righteous Confucian Scholar on her side.
"Ninth Princess, help me!" Long Mingkun cried out desperately. "Senior Mu Jinkun, save me! I don't want to die!"
Long Mingkun was seized by the female guards and kept shouting in panic. The Ninth Princess signaled Langya Prince with her eyes, but he pretended not to see.
The entire court of Da Zhou turned their attention to Langya Prince, who continued to feign sleep with his eyes closed. He thought to himself, what could the king possibly say in such an obvious disparity? If he had to address such a gap, he would lose all face!
"No, no, no! Da Zhou Emperor! Give me another chance!" Long Mingkun shouted incessantly.
Mu Jinkun couldn't bear to see his junior being killed and turned to the Ninth Princess with a pleading look. "Is there really no way out?"
The Ninth Princess felt herself on the verge of losing her mind. At such a critical moment, Mu Jinkun was not helping her but instead questioning her—this added even more pressure.
With a horrifying scream, Long Mingkun was dragged out of the hall! A female guard personally wielded an Eight-Sided Han Sword and severed Long Mingkun's head.
As his head rolled on the ground and blood gushed from his neck, gasps of shock echoed throughout the court. The Ninth Princess, lost in thought, finally snapped back to reality and turned angrily towards Su Qianxue upon realizing that Long Mingkun had already lost his head.
Su Qianxue spoke confidently, already planning to make the Ninth Princess suffer greatly in the remaining six rounds! Of course, if the Ninth Princess couldn't produce such jewels, then Su Qianxue would make her come to Jiang Han and apologize.
"Take your time, no rush!"
"You previously provided me with a batch of jewels to purchase various items! Now, I have already secured twenty thousand Eight-Sided Han Swords, twenty thousand sets of armor, and ten thousand Fire Axes! They're all in the back warehouse; just send someone to collect them," Jiang Han said with a light chuckle.
These were items that Su Qianxue had ordered from Jiang Han using royal jewels. Now, while Jiang Han was returning from auctioning the three treasures given by Langya Prince and the Ninth Princess, he had conveniently bought them back.
"Thank you so much, Jiang! You are truly a blessing for our Great Zhou!"
"Oh, by the way, in a few days, it will be Piao Xue's Sixteenth Birthday. I would like to reserve your restaurant for the birthday banquet! I plan to come incognito while inviting all the officials as well. This will also help you dispel any rumors about the quality of your dishes!" Su Qianxue said earnestly.
Jiang Han chuckled lightly and playfully tapped Su Qianxue's nose. "Is there anything else you want to purchase?"
"I also want some bows and arrows! Especially arrows! I saw a special type of arrow here before; you called it a Carbon Arrow. The material is far superior to our wooden arrows! I want ten thousand Carbon Arrows, along with matching Mei Lian Bows—the ones you had displayed in your room!" Su Qianxue proactively stated, intending to equip her Imperial Guard with these items.
Jiang Han had previously brought back some self-defense weapons, including Reflex Bows. Later on, he realized he wouldn't use the Reflex Bows and decided to switch to Mei Lian Bows instead. The Mei Lian Bow came with an arrow rest and was much easier to handle than the wooden bows of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I'll agree to everything!"
"I just remembered that tomorrow's topic will also focus on border defense!" Jiang Han said with a light laugh. "I’m curious to see what expression the Ninth Princess will have when she loses tomorrow."
