Chapter 60

At the banquet, everyone was dumbstruck as they looked at that golden shell that had suddenly manifested.

Qin Wushuang was also greatly shocked by himself.

After a moment, she drew a breath of cold air and thought inwardly, "No wonder my father, who is usually calm, suddenly believed in the heavenly mandate like a madman. Indeed, there are some mysteries behind it!"

She calmed her breath and said calmly: "When I was at the ancestral temple, the golden shell had already manifested.

If it wasn't so, I would not have brought it — It's as if I could not get married. "

While she joked to ease her panic and embarrassment, she carefully extended her hand to that restless golden shell.

Her fingertips trembled slightly.

When she picked up the golden shell, Qin Wushuang remained calm and turned it over to look. When she saw that no small animals had crawled into the shell, she felt somewhat frightened and joyful — With this "miracle," in the future, Han Shaoling would surely treat her with more importance.

She smiled shyly and generously: "Indeed, my ancestor would often create miracles to protect my Qin State. This time, it seems that my ancestor has feelings for the King of the State of Han …"

Before she had finished speaking, she saw that golden shell jump up again and drop onto the table. It raised the shell with determination and shook it left and right at her.

That vivid and lifelike appearance caused everyone to imagine an old man looking at Qin Wushuang seriously and shaking his head with dissatisfaction.

Han Shaoling narrowed his long eyes and reached out to grab it.

He saw that golden shell jump back abruptly as if it was avoiding the god of plague.

Han Shaoling: "…"

The sisters of the White State could not help but laugh: "That's not right, Princess Qin, your ancestor seems to be dissatisfied with the King of the State of Han!"

The Crown Prince of the Ping State reacted quickly as he said urgently: "Forefather Qin, you feel that Princess Qin is not suitable for the King of the State of Han?

You have your eyes on someone else? "

Jin Bei nodded at him slowly.

Everyone: "…"

Qin Wushuang was completely stunned.

In this world, there was indeed the art of divination and prediction. The saints of the Temple of Heaven used the Art of Divination to ask the heavens and earth, and it was very effective.

Only, revealing the heavenly secrets would result in a backlash from the heavens. Thus, unless it was a matter of life and death for the entire territory, the Heavenly Altar would not use such great techniques casually.

Everyone knew that the golden shell of the Qin State had been enshrined in the ancestral temple and had received incense for thousands of years. It would not be strange if it had truly become divine — In fact, with so many eyes watching, it was impossible to fake it in broad daylight.

This was extremely awkward.

"Ah ha ha, ha, ha," Crown Prince Bai bowed with hands cupped in front, "Forefather, take a look, do you like me?"

Jin Bei had ignored him.

Qin Wqin Wushuang wushuang was Qin Wushuang, wushuang Qin Wushuang, Qin Wushuang, Qin......

Sang Yuanyuan sincerely suggested, "Princess Qin, the ancestors probably wanted to tell you not to be blinded by other things. When you get married, the most important thing is to be happy. Only by marrying the person you love will you not let down your life.

Why don't you take another look? "

Qin Wushuang, Qin......

Qin Wushuang: "I …"

Suddenly, she choked with sobs.

She stared at the Forefather for a moment and said in a low voice, "King of the State of Han, without Jin Bei, would you still choose me?"

Han Shaoling felt depressed: "… Yes."

Besides forcing himself to accept it, what other choice did he have?

He could not say in front of everyone that he had decided to marry Qin Wushuang because of Jin Bei, right?

Even though everyone knew that this was the truth.

Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly: "That's good.

King of the State of Han, pick a day to send the betrothal gifts.

I am truly willing to marry you. "

Han Shaoling did not care about his face. Currently, he only had this annoying Jin Bei in his heart.

If one were to ask him what he was feeling, it would be the kind of awkwardness he felt when he used sweet words to coax the girl for her family's money and was seen through by her parents.

He nodded and said: "Ok.

Take back Jin Bei. "

The smile on Qin Wushuang's lips became even more bitter.

"Forefather," She put her palms together and said, "The King of the State of Han is the person I like. I have already decided to marry him. Please protect me."

Jin Bei nodded unwillingly.

Then, she used one of her sharp horns to point at Qin Wushuang and Han Shaoling. Then, she took a step back with determination.

Her movements were too clever. Everyone at the scene could see that she meant to say, "You guys can live your life, don't drag me into it."

"Forefather, you are not willing to give Jin Bei to the King of the State of Han?" Qin Wushuang asked.

Jin Bei nodded.

Qin Wushuang felt somewhat dizzy: "Then … I will invite you back to the ancestral temple, how about it?"

"Qin Wushuang!" Han Shaoling roared in a low voice.

Jin Bei shook her head.

Currently, Qin Wushuang did not know what she was feeling. She mumbled: "Could it be, you want the State of Qin to cooperate with another state?"

As soon as she said these words, Han Shaoling opened his eyes widely. He slapped the bamboo canal with both hands and said angrily: "Qin Wushuang, think clearly!

The State of Han will never accept such humiliation!

I don't need you. I might not even like this Jin Bei!

If you are going to give it to someone else, then you should also marry someone else! "

Hearing his words, Qin Wushuang was truly disheartened.

She looked at Han Shaoling and said slowly: "King of the State of Han, even if Jin Bei chooses the Crown Prince of another state, I might not marry him.

I will decide who I want to marry.

If you don't want to marry me, I won't cling to you. "

She turned to Jin Bei and said respectfully: "Forefather, please guide me."

She saw that Jin Bei stretched her body with satisfaction and ran towards Sang Yuanyuan. She jumped high and threw herself onto her body.

Sang Yuanyuan was "shocked." She used her hand to hold that Jin Bei that was rubbing against her body and placed it in the center of her palm.

"This … Princess Qin, I cannot marry you!

I am also a girl, really. "

She quickly expressed her stance. While she spoke, she also tried to put that Jin Bei back on the table to avoid arousing suspicion.

However, it seemed to have latched onto her and stuck to her finger. She could not get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.

Everyone watched as Sang Yuanyuan swung her hand around and rubbed it. Yet, that Jin Bei still stuck to her.

They only saw Sang Yuanyuan's beautiful little face flushed red as she tried to shake it away. Like a ball bearing, that Jin Bei rolled around on her hands and did not leave her.

Qin Wushuang: "… Sang Yuanyuan, don't throw it away!"

He was going crazy!

Sang Yuanyuan raised her clear eyes and looked at Qin Wushuang innocently.

Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh: "Princess Sang, don't decline anymore. Just take it. The forefather likes you and wants us to befriend the Sang State."

Everyone stared at the Jin Bei in Sang Yuanyuan's hand.

They saw that this object seemed to have found its owner as it rubbed against her finger intimately. The golden lights flashed again and again.

Qin Wushuang repeated in a whisper: "The forefather wants the Qin State to befriend the Sang State …"

Under everyone's gaze, how could Qin Wushuang dare to have any objections when the forefather had shown himself?

She looked at Crown Prince Qin on the side with a stunned expression.

Crown Prince Qin was even more dazed than her. Now, as he looked at Sang Yuanyuan who held the Jin Bei like a celestial being, his face started to blush.

"Senior Brother …"

Crown Prince Qin jumped up with a start: "The forefather chose someone as pure and kind as Princess Sang, it's the Qin State's fortune!

From now on, the Qin and Sang State will be brothers and we will befriend each other for generations!

Princess Sang, if you need anything, just ask me!

As long as I can do it, I will do it even if I have to sacrifice my life! "

He patted his chest and made a bold statement.

"Since it's the forefather's order, of course the Jin Bei will be given to the Sang State. I hope Princess Sang will not decline it!" Crown Prince Qin Wushuang spoke with more sincerity than Qin Wushuang.

Sang Yuanyuan looked at the Jin Bei lying quietly on her palm and hesitated for a moment: "Then it would be impolite for me to decline."

The Qin siblings nodded in unison.

Sang Yuanyuan then looked at Han Shaoling with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "King of the State of Han, what do you think …"

Han Shaoling was already stunned.

A moment ago, when he saw that girl who did not seem to be an ordinary person being entangled by the fairy-like Jin Bei, he felt as if thunder was rolling in his heart. He could only sigh that such a miraculous girl had escaped from his arms. Indeed, it was the biggest regret in his life.

To Han Shaoling, the fact that Jin Bei had chosen Sang Yuanyuan was a good thing.

It would not hurt his reputation, and … if he successfully took Sang Yuanyuan into his pocket, wouldn't this Jin Bei return to his hands?

When he thought about it this way, Han Shaoling could not help but laugh: "Crown Prince Qin is right. Princess Sang has a pure and kind heart. Indeed, it's a fortuitous opportunity for her to receive the favor of the Qin forefather!

This is a good thing. I would like to add some congratulatory gifts and wish the Qin and Sang States a happy marriage. "

With him taking the lead, the rest of the people also agreed. They all more or less gave some gifts to express their intentions.

Those Young Masters who had the same idea as Han Shaoling had even given great gifts. They only wanted to leave a good impression on Sang Yuanyuan before the competition officially started.

Sang Yuanyuan received a lot of gifts.

"Since Princess Qin has no interest in me, how could I force her."

Han Shaoling laughed straightforwardly and placed the Big Red Albizzia into the bamboo trough before him. He said: "Everyone, please continue."

At this moment, besides Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming, there were three other couples at the banquet.

Seeing that the banquet was about to end, Sang Bujin was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat.

This was the third time that Yun Xuzhou had picked up and tossed the flowers.

"Crown Prince Sang," Crown Prince Zhao, who was sitting next to Sang Bujin, could not help but advise him, "The Regent doesn't want you to pick up her flowers. You should stop trying to get closer and give us a chance."

He had never seen such a shameless person.

Sang Bujin's voice had become hoarse from anxiety. He turned around and said to Sang Yuanyuan: "Little Sister, what do you think he means by this?!"

Sang Yuanyuan felt a headache coming on. She knew that she had to force Sang Bujin to take this step. Otherwise, there would be no end to his pursuit of his wife.

"Perhaps the Regent has taken a fancy to someone else. Big Brother, why don't you pick it up next time and see if it ends up in someone else's hands?" Sang Yuanyuan suggested.

"How is that possible?!" Sang Bujin was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils. "She's already done that with me. Does she still want to marry someone else?!"

Sang Yuanyuan said faintly: "Then will you tell her that you've already done that with the Regent?"

Sang Bujin's face immediately turned red. "Of course not!

I, I'm not that kind of despicable person! "

"Then isn't it settled?" Sang Yuanyuan shrugged.

Yun Xuzhou threw away the other half of the Big Red Albizzia Flower that Sang Bujin had picked up.

The servants were already preparing to end the banquet.

Sang Bujin held the other half of the flower in his hands, unwilling to throw it away again.

Not long after, the other half that Yun Xuzhou had thrown away floated down the river and arrived in front of him.

Sang Bujin suddenly had an epiphany and scooped it up. He gritted his teeth and strode around a small part of the banquet table to arrive in front of Yun Xuzhou. He forcefully tied the flower into her hair and pulled her along, saying, "Ha!

It's time to go up the Skytribute Platform! "

"You're finally acting a bit like a man." Yun Xuzhou gave a lazy snort.

All of the members of the royal family let out a collective hiss of understanding.

… …

The banquet had come to an end.

All of the members of the royal family followed behind Han Shaoling and walked towards the Skytribute Platform, which stood at the highest point in Royal City.

Han Shaoling purposely fell behind a few steps, wanting to walk side by side with Sang Yuanyuan.

However, she didn't even spare him a glance.

She had already put away the golden shell and was currently talking to the imperial guard beside her with a smile. The Big Red Albizzia Flower in her hair swayed from time to time, contrasting nicely with the other half on the guard's lapel.

Han Shaoling narrowed his eyes. After a while, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He took the lead and walked towards the Skytribute Platform.

The Skytribute Platform was located to the north of Royal City. It was a square black platform that was more than three hundred zhang tall and made of stone. Stairs surrounded the platform like a long dragon coiling around the black platform that towered into the clouds.

Under Han Shaoling's lead, the group of young men from the royal family began to ascend the platform.

Princess Bai Zhou was very unhappy that she didn't manage to sell herself successfully. She couldn't help but find fault with Sang Yuanyuan. "Princess Sang, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to bring a commoner up there!"

Sang Yuanyuan was happily climbing the platform with You Wuming at the moment. When she heard this, she immediately disagreed. She turned around and said, "My husband is a celestial who descended from the heavens. He can fly. It's your good fortune to be able to stand beside him. He doesn't dislike you. What are you nagging about?"

Princess Bai was speechless. She looked at Sang Yuanyuan as if she was looking at an idiot.

Yun Xuzhou laughed and gave Princess Bai Zhou a sharp look. "It's none of your business!

So much nonsense. Can you even get married? "

Princess Bai was speechless.

After half an hour, everyone finally climbed to the top of the Skytribute Platform along the winding dragon path.

There was no shelter around the platform, so the wind was especially strong.

Behind them, Princess Bai whispered to the people around her, "Good intentions are not rewarded. Just wait for the show!

Only the royal family can participate in the ceremony on the Skytribute Platform. I can guarantee that Han Shaoling will definitely use this opportunity to get rid of this bastard! "

Han Shaoling walked up to the platform.

In the middle of the Skytribute Platform, there was a huge eight-legged bronze incense burner.

Behind the burner was a bronze archway with many strange beasts carved on it. It looked ferocious and ancient.

Under the archway was the sacrificial table.

The ceremony had begun.

The white-robed priests brought the offerings up to the platform and stood at the bottom of the last step. They handed the golden plates to Han Shaoling one by one.

Han Shaoling took the offerings and placed them on the sacrificial table in order. Then, he lit the incense stick.

The flames in the eight-legged bronze incense burner shot up to the sky. The smoke curled up as if it could really reach the 99 levels of heaven.

After doing all this, Han Shaoling slowly walked to the front of the platform and began to silently pray for blessings.

Han Shaoling prayed in a low voice. Sang Yuanyuan couldn't help but tug at You Wuming's sleeve and whisper to him.

"Will you also bring your people to pray to heaven?"

"Of course."

She didn't believe him. She tilted her head and looked at him. "Will you obediently pray for two hours?

I don't believe you. "

You Wuming raised his eyebrows and tilted his head. He whispered to her, "Anyway, no one can hear what I'm chanting."

"Pfft."

Well, as far as the ceremony was concerned, there was nothing wrong with it.

She suddenly wanted to follow him to pray to heaven.

Seeing him standing in front of her with a serious expression and muttering to himself, she would secretly throw some 'kelp' on him and listen to what he was saying.

Sang Yuanyuan came closer.

He said unhappily, "In just a short while, seven or eight people have come to me to ask for my hand in marriage.

I said you were already engaged, but they didn't believe me.

Those who believed me also said they wanted to fight for it. "

Sang Yuanyuan smiled. "They're all aiming for Jinbei. They all want to give it a try."

"In their dreams!" He moved closer. "Little Sister, could it be you and that ancestor of the Qin family have something fishy going on?"

Sang Yuanyuan smiled mysteriously. "I'm not telling you!"

On the other side, Han Shaoling finally finished praying.

After a few more formalities, he took out the sacrificial incense and asked everyone to light it. He placed the incense into the incense burner to complete the ceremony.

"The ceremony is complete.

Thank you for your hard work. "Han Shaoling nodded with a smile.

After Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming finished offering the incense, they prepared to go downstairs.

Suddenly, Han Shaoling stopped them with extreme politeness.

She looked at him with confusion.

"I'm sorry, Princess Sang."

Han Shaoling had a smile on his face, yet his tone was as cold as a knife. "On the Worship of Heaven Platform, besides the Royal family, anyone who steps on it is a sacrifice.

This is the rule, please don't blame me, Princess. "

"You mean him?" She pointed at You Wuming.

You Wuming raised his eyebrows and looked back at her lazily.

"He is my fiancé, is that not allowed?" Sang Yuanyuan asked seriously.

Han Shaoling smiled evilly and leaned forward. He said in a low voice, "Of course … it's an additional punishment."

He leaned his tall body back and said with a serious expression, "Prince Sang, please bring the princess down from the high platform first.

This is the rule, I can't help you. "

The White State sisters happily came up to meddle in other people's business.

"Princess Sang, didn't I already advise you a moment ago, how could you bring a lowly commoner up to the Worship of Heaven Platform?

Aiya, you didn't listen and even scolded me. You are treating my kindness as malice. Now, your lover is going to lose his head! "

The other Princess White sighed with regret, "It's not necessarily a bad thing, right?

Princess Sang has received the golden shell from the Qin State and the oath of alliance. In these eighteen states, you are the most popular person. With the golden shell as your dowry, no one would care how many times you have been married, right?

You can just exchange for a better one! "

Qin Wushuang's mindset had changed quickly. Hearing these words, he stood before Sang Yuanyuan and sneered at the two Princess White, "With Princess Sang's appearance and temperament, even without the golden shell from the Qin State, she is worthy of being matched with the best men in the eighteen states. It's not up to you to comment!"

Er Bai: "…" Where did that Qin Wushuang who had mocked them earlier go?

There was no need to flatter the ancestors with such sincerity, right?

"Weren't you trying to annoy her a moment ago!"

Qin Wushuang covered his mouth in fear, "Princess White, you can't speak nonsense.

Princess Sang and I hit it off at first sight and we talked about happy topics. It's clear that you misunderstood! "

Er Bai: "…"

Indeed, the Princess White's brains were not working well.

The relationship between the Royal families was the same as the relationship between the states. It was still that cliché — There were no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent benefits.

Currently, the Huangfu family was eyeing the Qin State covetously from the east and the Ji State from the south had already fallen into You Wuming's hands.

Indeed, they were besieged on all sides.

The Qin State was eager to rope in a strong partner to resist the coming storm.

Since they had even taken out the golden shell, it was apparent how urgent the Qin State King was.

At this time, since the ancestors had instructed the Qin State to form a good relationship with the Sang State, of course the Qin would spare no effort to stand on the same side as the Sang State.

Even if Sang Yuanyuan had taken a liking to Han Shaoling, Qin Wushuang would only laugh and praise them as "a match made in heaven."

Han Shaoling was in a hurry to commit murder and did not have the patience to listen to these women's chatter.

He took a step forward and smiled politely at the Princesses, "The banquet is ready, please —"

He was using his body to chase them away.

Princess White was determined to watch a good show as she said, "King of the State of Han, you only need to mind your own business, don't mind us. The White State has always sacrificed lives to the heavens, we are already used to seeing blood."

"Yes." Han Shaoling turned to Sang Yuanyuan and said, "Princess Sang, the rules cannot be broken."

Sang Yuanyuan was weak, pitiful, and helpless. "Must you kill my husband?

What if I want to live and die with him? "

Initially, You Wuming was about to explode. When he saw this drama queen was about to act, he could not help but point to his forehead with a troubled finger. He looked at her with a troubled expression and showed a helpless doting expression.

Sang Bujin frowned and stood up. "King of the State of Han, is this how you treat your guests?"

Yun Xuzhou sighed. "King of the State of Han, where it is possible to let people off, let them off. Today, everyone is happy, there is no need to make things so ugly."

If they were to fight here, there would be no benefits.

Han Shaoling said, "Heir Sang, Prince Regent, the rules cannot be broken.

I do not have the slightest intention of neglecting my neighbors. Everyone, please leave the stage and attend the banquet. After the last step of the sacrifice, I will properly apologize to everyone. Wine, accept your punishment! "

Han Shaoling slowly drew his sword, his sharp gaze fixed on You Wuming.

No matter how he looked at this person, he did not find him pleasing to the eye.

Regardless of whether or not this person had an affair with Sang Yuanyuan, he had to take the opportunity to get rid of him today.

His gaze flickered, and he said to Sang Yuanyuan, "Princess, please step aside."

"No —" Sang Yuanyuan said, "I want to live and die with him!

Even if I die and jump down from here, I will not let you hurt him! "

You Wuming was speechless. She must have drunk too much just now.

When he thought about the last time she had drunk too much and pestered him to do those things, his heartbeat sped up. He did not want to waste another moment.

On the side, Princess Bai laughed, "Princess Sang, didn't you say that your husband is a Celestial Being and can fly?

Why don't you just let him grow wings and fly away to avoid a fatal disaster? "

"That's right!" Sang Yuanyuan looked at her with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me."

Han Shaoling suddenly remembered that she had said the same thing to him yesterday. For a moment, he found it funny and had a headache.

Until now, he still firmly believed that Sang Yuanyuan would never fall in love with someone else. Everything she did was only because she was jealous. Han Shaoling could not be blamed for being conceited. Since young, all the girls of the right age had been infatuated with him. He had long been used to not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

How could he allow others to taint the woman he fancied?!

The Acacia Flower on these two people was like a poisonous thorn that pierced into his heart. If he did not remove it, he would not be able to rest easy.

This was a good opportunity to show her the strength of the seventh layer of the Spiritual Brilliance Realm!

Han Shaoling concentrated and gathered his strength. He was determined to use the strength of slaughtering an ox to coolly kill this noob and capture Sang Yuanyuan's mind in one fell swoop.

Metal Spiritual Energy exploded and covered the sword as if it was solid.

His killing intent was locked and he was ready to attack.

"State of Han King," Sang Yuanyuan suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Today, we are here as guests, not to fight. If you want to fight, next time we have a chance, let's fight to our heart's content.

If you don't want me and my husband to stay for dinner, then we will leave. "

"Fly away?" Han Shaoling laughed in spite of himself.

As he spoke, Sang Yuanyuan had already lightly walked to the edge of the stage.

Han Shaoling's expression changed slightly, "Come down, it's dangerous there."

She smiled sweetly and waved at You Wuming. Then, she spread out her arms and jumped backwards. Like a butterfly, she floated down from the stage.

Han Shaoling turned pale with fright and rushed to the edge of the stage.

How could he catch her?

Sang Yuanyuan's ice blue muslin dress and black hair fluttered in the wind. Although her body was extremely light, she only stayed in the air for a moment before falling straight down!

Everyone on the stage sucked in a breath of cold air. They ran to the edge and looked in horror at this beautiful woman who was rapidly falling.

She was still smiling. Her body was like an ice blue butterfly. Falling, falling … … there was no way to save her!

Just as everyone's minds were blank, a strong wind suddenly blew over their heads.

A pair of flaming wings appeared in his field of vision in a dazzling manner.

The flaming wings flapped twice in the wind, leaving behind a trail of flames. Then, like an arrow, it shot down and pulled that soft ice blue body into its embrace.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled at him so widely that her eyes disappeared.

The flames rustled in the wind. You Wuming's body was extremely nimble. Using the wind, he flapped his flaming wings twice and then flew up.

"Brother, sister-in-law — —" Sang Yuanyuan's clear voice carried a smile, "We'll go first. See you at the wedding — —"

That pair of dazzling flaming wings blinded everyone's eyes. In the sound of cold air being sucked in, the two used the wind to fly straight over King City, leaving behind a trail of bright flames in the air.

"They really, really, really flew away … …" Princess White's eyes rolled back and she fainted in her sister's arms.

Short-life was already waiting outside King City.

Seeing its master fly out of the city like a moth on fire, Short-life was so happy that it snorted and its four hooves kicked around.

You Wuming hugged Sang Yuanyuan and landed on Short-life's back. They flew towards the east.

Sang Yuanyuan originally thought that You Wuming was going to return to You Zhou. Unexpectedly, you Wuming took a detour and sneaked into a brothel.

"There's still something good to do."

He smiled evilly.
