Chapter 139: The Great Marriage Alliance

Marrying the Princess is to achieve merit for Great Xia, to accumulate blessings for Great Xia!

"This matter, I am very pleased; I have agreed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yun Fengyun certainly had to accept this; for him, it was just a good thing, not something bad.

At this moment, while speaking, he unconsciously nodded.

Lin Qingyue also hastily performed a salute to show her gratitude.

A pair of eyes swept over the direction where Zhou Tian was.

As for Zhou Tian's current situation, she was of course all too aware.

Moreover, she clearly knew Zhou Tian's entire strength.

Lin Qingyue did this in order to use every possible means to pressure Zhou Tian into agreeing to her demand for restoring the state.

If Zhou Tian cannot, aren't there other options?

At least one thing is certain: in selecting a husband, after these Great Xia people compete, the victor will surely be an outstanding person among people.

Choosing such a husband, and doing so before the Great Xia emperor, such people are mostly those with power and influence.

Doing this will certainly not leave me at a loss.

"I, the foreign maiden, admire Great Xia; its talented and spirited people, the capable stand out."

"Therefore, I hope to make a request."

Lin Qingyue bowed again, respectfully requesting of Yun Fengyun.

"Speak!"

Yun Fengyun raised his hand and spoke in a low voice.

He glanced at Lin Qingyue, feeling some curiosity about this Princess of Zhu Prefecture.

"I admire the strong; at this Great Xia autumn hunt, whoever comes out on top, I seek as a husband!"

After speaking, Lin Qingyue gave another graceful bow and knelt to the ground.

Faced with this, her heart already held countless considerations.

Such an outstanding person must be strong.

Even if Zhou Tian does not help me, marrying such a strong person would be just as good.

"Approved!"

Yun Fengyun waved his hand and casually agreed.

Those who came today are all the elite of Great Xia.

They are either imperial kinsmen, sons of high-ranking officials, or otherwise the offspring of merchants.

So, no matter who among them wins the top pick, they are all people of Great Xia.

Lin Qingyue marrying any of them would also be nothing improper.

Lin Qingyue's appearance made the scene lively again.

Officials debated heatedly, while the youngsters who would take part in the autumn hunt were extremely excited—who wouldn't want to marry a princess?

This is something that could contribute to Great Xia; moreover, the most important point is that this princess is so beautiful—taking her home would be a pleasure, why not?

"Senior sister, why are you doing this?"

Zhou Tian found an opportunity, pretended to make casual talk, lowered his voice, and asked Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue gave Zhou Tian a cold glance: "Since you are unwilling, I will certainly seek someone who can truly help me."

"Good, I understand; senior sister, this move of yours is formidable!"

Zhou Tian heard this and laughed, thinking he had guessed Lin Qingyue's intention.

"This way, we can openly get married."

"Even if I help Zhu Prefecture, it will not affect the Great Xia emperor's trust in me."

Zhou Tian was very confident about this; as he spoke, his confidence grew.

"Zhou Tian, are you overthinking? In this autumn hunt, the capable rise to the clouds; you may not necessarily be the top pick, and my target is not you."

Lin Qingyue gave a cold snort and lightly shook her head.

"What? Absolutely impossible!"

Zhou Tian was deeply unwilling; in his view, this was a challenge to his self-esteem!

In his view, such a thing absolutely cannot be accepted.

"In this autumn hunt, among the participants, not a single young person is my match!"

In Zhou Tian's eyes, more indignation flashed.

"Is that so? But Yang Jun is here, isn't he?"

Lin Qingyue, aiming to wound his heart, immediately replied coldly.

Yang Jun?

In Lin Qingyue's mind, is it also Yang Jun?

"Don't you see that Prince Pingxi is present, and the one he strongly supports is none other than Yang Jun?"

Lin Qingyue added another blow; one sentence made Zhou Tian's face blacker than a pot bottom.

Yang Jun has already taken my two senior sisters; could it be that he now also wants to take Lin Qingyue?

No matter what, Lin Qingyue cannot allow herself to be taken by Yang Jun again.

Otherwise, I would truly have no face to live in this world!

"Yang Jun, impossible—just watch; when I seize the top pick, don't keep looking for excuses to refuse marrying me!"

At this moment, Zhou Tian's heart yearned even more to marry Lin Qingyue.

Only then could he possibly quell his inner anger.

Yang Jun is that knot in his heart!

The two abducted senior sisters are the small knots on this knot; Lin Qingyue can no longer be tied up—I must definitely snatch her back!

As Zhou Tian spoke, he gave Lin Qingyue another cold glance.

In fact, Zhou Tian harbors lustful designs toward all the senior sisters around him.

Especially after what happened before, he has long wanted to make a move on Lin Qingyue.

But Zhou Tian also fears arousing Yun Fengyun's suspicion, and with Lin Qingyue's status, he dares not act rashly.

Now, as long as he secures the lead, all of this will be a matter of course.

By then he must make Lin Qingyue understand that his strengths are not just martial talent, but more!

If he could subdue Lin Qingyue in bed, what would there be to see of her pride?

Her perpetual arrogance before him, never putting anyone in her eyes, is something Zhou Tian cannot tolerate.

Lin Qingyue glanced at Zhou Tian, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Yun Fengyun sat high on the dragon throne; at his command, the autumn hunt began.

The crowd of talented youths surged forward, all vying to achieve good results.

Yang Jun was still in the bushes, yet kept sneezing.

Who cursed him? Why isn't this weather cold, or is his constitution worsening?

He saw the crowd charging ahead, with Zhou Tian leading the way.

"Heh, so eager, wanting to grab first place?"

Yang Jun chuckled, then turned and went in a direction completely opposite the main force.

In the original novel, he remembers it clearly.

The truly valuable things are not in the direction they are heading.

Yang Jun had a map in hand and was not in the slightest hurry.

After entering the hunting grounds, he took out the map given by Yun Fengyue.

Among the maps he obtained, the one given by Yun Fengyue is the most detailed.

It seems this woman is very likely using that map for rebellion.

Yang Jun wandered about, confirming the direction he sought.

During the autumn hunt, among the ferocious beasts discovered, Yang Jun was the most interested.

After searching, they proceeded slowly.

That Zhou Tian is the protagonist of destiny, so in the original novel he also has considerable luck.

What he picked up in the Beast King's lair was a small ferocious beast, so there is no risk at all.

By now, as this minor supporting character, what risks will he encounter? What problems?
