Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Upon hearing this, Chu Luo couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

He didn't quite understand why this prince from the Tang Dynasty was so confident.

Even if his cavalry were elite, he was still at a significant disadvantage in terms of troop strength compared to the Xueyantuo.

It should be noted that the Xueyantuo had at least 20,000 cavalry. Even if their weapons and equipment were inferior to those of the Tang army, it would be good enough if they could escape unscathed from the Tang army due to their superior numbers, let alone cripple them.

Little did he know that with Li Chengqian's bravery, along with Hou Junji, Xue Rengui, and Yang Zaixing, they could wipe out not only a small Xueyantuo, but even an entire country.

It was precisely to maintain the balance of the grasslands that Li Chengqian chose to cripple them rather than annihilate them.

"Hehe! No need for the Khan to trouble himself with that!"

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from outside the tent.

"Heh! Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty has quite the nerve, daring to boast that you can cripple the Xueyantuo with a mere six thousand cavalry!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian and the others couldn't help but frown slightly and looked out of the tent. They saw a young man dressed in Turkic clothing walking quickly into the tent!

Upon seeing the visitor, Ashina Chuluo hurriedly explained to Li Chengqian with a hint of apology.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This is my second son, Ashina Duer. Despite his youth, he is the strongest warrior of our Ashina tribe!"

Oh?

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ashina Duer.

Just then, Ashina Duer approached Li Chengqian, looked him up and down, and said:

"You're the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty? You don't look like much at all!"

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Ashina Duer finished speaking, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and stand up.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved to Yang Zaixing, signaling him to calm down, then turned to Ashina Duer opposite him and said with a smile:

"So what do you think the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty should be like?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina Duer was slightly taken aback, and then subconsciously said:

"I have heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once conquered the world and was awarded the title of General of the Heavenly Strategy. I wonder how much strength you, as the Crown Prince, still have left?"

Dare to compete with me?

These words surprised everyone present.

Hou Junji and the others looked at the second prince of the Ashina tribe with eyes that seemed to regard him as an idiot.

How brave! None of them would dare to say such a thing!

Ashina Chuluo immediately spoke up to stop him.

"Insolence! Duer, apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince at once!"

However, Ashina Duer remained unmoved, while Ashina Qingya, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up:

"Second brother~ Why are you making things difficult for my man? If you're so capable, why don't you compete with me!"

Upon hearing Qingya's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

This girl...

On the other hand, Ashina Duer couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Ahem! This is a contest between men, so please don't interfere."

Then, he stared intently at Li Chengqian and said:

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty only know how to hide behind women?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile faintly and say:

"Sure, but we need to add some stakes! Otherwise, it's no fun at all!"

"Sure! What do you want to bet?"

Duer responded without hesitation. Seeing this, Ashina Chuluo wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Li Chengqian, however, revealed a nonchalant expression and said:

"Hahaha! That's great! If I win, I want you to acknowledge me as your master and fight for me!"

"What if I win?"

Duer instinctively asked a question, while Li Chengqian just scoffed.

"You win? Hahahaha! Then I'll stay and be your son-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Durr were dumbfounded.

No?

Why are you eating and taking things away?

Ashina Qingya, who was standing to the side, suddenly brightened up.

"Bro! How about I play? I guarantee a win!"

Seeing his little sister's hopeful look, Durden immediately pursed his lips and said:

"If I win, the Tang Dynasty will lose 100,000 shi of grain to Ashina!"

"Sure! Tell me! What do you want to compete in?"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's question, Du'er pondered for a moment before speaking:

"To be on the safe side, let's go for best two out of three, so you won't accuse me of bullying you."

How about archery, wrestling, or horse training?

"Can!"

……

On the training ground.

Li Chengqian looked at the target in the distance, weighed the light arrow in his hand, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

What a lousy bow! It feels like it would break if you applied even a little force.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Qingya couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong, my husband? Are you not satisfied with this bow?"

Hearing Qingya's question from the side, Li Chengqian did not hide anything.

"Hmm! This bow is too light. Do you have any bows with a strength of five stones or more?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Hou Junji and the others, couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Ashina Duer couldn't help but curl his lip upon hearing this, thinking, "What a boastful person!"

Upon hearing this, Qingya began to think very seriously, and her furrowed brows amused Li Chengqian.

"Ah! I remember now, Father Khan had an ancestral treasure bow left by Ashina's ancestor, but no one could draw it for a long time, so it was abandoned!"

Oh?

Hearing her say that, Li Chengqian suddenly became interested.

"I wonder if I could give it a try?"

"Okay, my dear husband! I'll go get it for you right away!"

After saying that, he excitedly ran towards the royal tent.

Upon seeing this, Ashina Chuluo and Ashina Duer turned green with shock.

We can't keep this daughter (younger sister)!

That's our family heirloom! You'd better watch your step!

Soon, Ashina Qingya, a tiny girl, ran up to Li Chengqian carrying a precious bow that was almost as tall as herself.

"Hey! Give it a try! It's okay even if you can't pull it apart!"

Seeing the interaction between the two, Ashina Duer couldn't help but snort and say:

"Hmph! Nonsense, him?"

Faced with Ashina Duer's mockery, Li Chengqian simply smiled, took the bow, and weighed it in his hand!

Then he took a lunge position, holding the bow in one hand and pulling the string with the other!

The terrifying force caused the veins on Li Chengqian's arms to bulge.

Under the immense force of Li Chengqian, the bow began to emit a teeth-grinding hiss!

Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd, this precious bow, which had not been drawn for a hundred years, was miraculously drawn at this moment!

Li Chengqian drew his bow to its fullest extent, without blushing or panting.

Ashina Duer, standing to the side, opened his mouth involuntarily upon seeing this scene.

He had tried this bow before, so he knew how much force it would take to draw it.

This is a genuine eight-stone bow!
