Han Khan

Chapter 160, Matchmaking

It has been nearly two months since she and her brother came to Jinhan. During this time, the people of Jinhan not only did not bully them, who had fled from Karakhan, but they even treated them with courtesy.

Especially His Highness and those Tang officers and chief priests, because they could speak elegant language and write sacred texts. After her sister and brother converted to the Holy Religion and became believers of Haotian God, they became very close.

I just got a surprising news today, that is, she might be getting married.

The one who disclosed the news was a woman of the prince, who seemed to come to tell him in order to get closer to her. The woman was more charming and beautiful than himself, but the news was always accurate.

She was immediately delighted and surprised. After hearing the news, she immediately ran back to the felt tent, changed into a beautiful Tang suit, combed her hair into a Han girl's style, and waited anxiously. In order to relieve her anxiety, she even took out her needlework and started embroidery.

At this moment, a guard outside the tent said:
"Your Highness, the high priest is here with some attendants to call you!"

Sarah was dragged out of her thoughts by the voice, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Is that High Priest Zhang Zhongxian?" Sarah asked in surprise, her heart pounding.

"Yes, Your Highness. The High Priest said he has something important to discuss with you. Please come out, Your Highness!"

Except for relatives, other men are not allowed to enter or leave a woman's tent.

Knowing this, Zhang Zhongxian, who came to propose marriage, asked the Karakhanid guards guarding the gate of Sala to notify them.

Sarah was delighted because she knew that High Priest Zhang Zhongxian held a high status and was the priest who led the Jin Han people to pray to the Supreme God of Heaven.

And I am highly trusted by His Highness. If he comes to call me personally, then there must be something important. Is it my marriage with His Highness?

Thinking of this, Sarah hurriedly put down her needlework, tidied her clothes, and quickly walked out of the tent.

When she saw the high priest Zhang Zhongxian, she hurried forward to pay her respects.

Sarah hurried forward and bowed to Zhang Zhongxian, saying:
"The Heaven is great and His virtue is everlasting. Is Your Excellency the Cardinal Priest all right?"

High Priest Zhang Zhongxian looked at Sarah with a smile, a mysterious light in his eyes. He looked at Sarah with a smile and said:
"Good, Haotian is great, I am fine, Princess, are you used to my Jinhan?"

Zhang Zhongxian looked at the young girl and became more and more satisfied. She was absolutely suitable to be his highness's wife, with her tall figure and pretty face.

"Your Excellency, Master Priest, my sister and I would like to thank His Highness and Jin Han for taking us in. We are very used to living in Jin Han. I wonder what the Master Priest can do for you?"

"Haha, keep it a secret for now. You will know it later. Come with me." Zhang Zhongxian said to her gently.

Zhang Zhongxian led the way, followed closely by Sarah, and behind them were a dozen guards armed with full armor.

Sarah's heart started beating violently. Could it be... She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She just lowered her head and followed Zhang Zhongxian.

"Princess, how old are you this year?" Zhang Zhongxian asked, looking at the beautiful exotic girl in front of him.

"Your Excellency the Chief Priest, I am already seventeen years old this year of the Year of the Dog." After hearing Zhang Zhongxian's question, Sarah lowered her head and answered softly.

Hearing Sarah's words, Zhang Zhongxian nodded and said, "Oh, she is exactly 28 years old! She is one year older than Your Highness, and is really a good match for Your Highness!" Then he continued to ask, "Excuse me, I wonder if the princess has ever been married before?"

Sarah said quickly: "Master Priest, I have no marriage or engagement, and my family encountered a major change. Under the protection of our clansmen and guards, my sister and I came east to Jinshan and received the protection of Jinhan." Her voice trembled a little, as if she was recalling the unfortunate experiences in the past.

Zhang Zhongxian frowned slightly after hearing this, but soon regained his composure and said, "I see, so does the princess have a crush on someone now?"

Sarah quickly shook her head and said with a slightly red face: "Master Priest, I don't have anyone I like. Right now I just want to take good care of my younger brother." Zhang Zhongxian smiled and nodded, and said: "That's good. In this case, I will tell you straight away. Today I come here to propose marriage to Your Highness. My Highness is unmarried now. I wonder what impression the princess has of my Highness?" He stared at Sarah, expecting her answer.

In fact, she had been mentally prepared for this. After all, she was seventeen years old, which was the age for marriage no matter in the northern desert, Karakhan in the west, or even in the distant Central Plains.

If her father Khan were still alive, as a member of the Khan's chamber, even if her father Khan loved her very much, she would not be able to stay at home any longer, but it would be time for her to contribute to the family.

Yes, as the offspring of the Khan, the prince would either be granted a fiefdom to a place or a tribe, and serve as a local leader, leading the army to war, managing the tribes for the Khanate, and so on.

As a princess, her role was nothing more than to marry into the nobles of the Khanate in order to consolidate her father Khan's control over the country.

My father Khan had a very good relationship with many Tang clans in the Khanate. Originally, my father Khan had also set his eyes on a very good marriage partner. However, a tragic incident occurred, my father Khan died, and the power of the Khanate was taken away.

During that time, Sarah always felt that her fate was sealed. She would either die on the road to escape, or become the wife of a chief, or be caught and killed by her cousin who believed in evil gods.

However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectation.

She and her brother successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Wubili people hired by her cousin, and were protected by the Jinhan tribe that migrated from Dunhuang to Jinshan. Now, this tribe controls the north and south areas of Jinshan.

Special Agent Zhang Sheng, who had saved her, her brother, and their guards, appeared before her as if destined.

He led his army to wipe out all the Ubili people who were chasing them.

As a result, he and his younger brother were given shelter and joined a religious sect similar to the combination of Buddhism and Confucianism - Shengjiao, and became Jinhan people.

The current leader of the Jinhan tribe is Zhang Sheng, a special agent who is brave, skilled in fighting and extremely wise, whom he admires very much.

She was surprised and delighted that he actually took the initiative to send the highest priest of the Jinhan tribe, Mr. Zhang Zhongxian, who was deeply trusted by His Highness, to come to her for matchmaking. This surprised her and made her happy.

Sarah was a little bit unbelievable. Although she was once a noble, how could a person like her who was in trouble now be favored by him? This made her feel very surprised and confused.

As a person involved, Sarah was of course also concerned about her own fate. It had been two months since she came to Jinhan Tribe, and she had gradually become familiar with the people here. She didn't need to ask around, as she already knew exactly what kind of person the man she admired was.

Not only did he possess high martial arts and outstanding military command capabilities, he also led the remnants of the Jinshan Kingdom all the way north to fight, conquered countless enemies, and eventually established such a powerful Jinhan tribe. In addition, he was also protected and inspired by the supreme God of the sky.

According to the legend in the tribe, the majestic temple and the expressionless but fearless guards who guarded the prince all day long were all blessings bestowed upon the prince by His Majesty Haotian. All these made Sara respect and yearn for Zhang Sheng even more.

His Highness was not only handsome and manly, but even though he already had two concubines, Sarah didn't care.

Because in her eyes, heroes are like this, they should have many followers and admirers.

Sarah knew that there must be countless women in Jinhan's tribe who wanted to be his.

Such a man is simply the embodiment of perfection, and makes people admire him.

Moreover, he was born into a noble family, possessed extraordinary temperament and charm. More importantly, he was also a great hero, always turning the tide at critical moments and saving others from danger.

This spirit of selfless dedication is extremely admirable and makes him a role model in everyone's hearts.

Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but reveal an admiring look.

In her mind, Zhang Sheng is so powerful and wise. He has been deeply imprinted in her heart and has become her most beautiful vision.
