Chapter 823 The Princess's Marriage is Mighty and Magnificent
The people Shi Li sent to the snowy mountains were mainly to disguise themselves as her and Sen Heng.
Their ambush could only mean one thing, someone really didn't want her or Sen Heng to come back alive.
This was not unexpected to Shi Li.
From the moment the foreign king was poisoned, there was already a hint of conspiracy.
No matter who is hiding behind the scenes, since he can easily poison the King of Fan, he must have the ability to assassinate him.
But the man didn't do that. There is only one possibility, that is, he has bigger ambitions.
"We left our people alive to see if we can follow the clues to find out who was responsible."
Han Zhao and Shi Li thought of the same thing and leaned over to her and whispered.
"Okay, tell me as soon as there is any follow-up."
Shi Li nodded.
Now that he has made a decision about the future, he can't just live a life of idleness and wait for death every day. He needs to make proper arrangements for everything that needs to be done in advance.
It’s not too late to be a salted fish once everything is settled.
On the other hand, now that the foreign king had been cured of the poison, the issue of how to deal with Shi Li, the princess from Dayong who was to marry into the foreign kingdom, became the agenda again.
It must be said that the King of Fan was a very particular person in this regard. He did not covet Shi Li's youth and beauty, and did not consider marrying the princess himself.
What he wanted most was to marry Shi Li to Sen Heng.
After all, everyone could see that Sen Heng and the princess were almost in love with each other.
The last time he brought it up, he was politely dissuaded by others. This time when he brought it up again, everyone around him knew that the King had made up his mind, so they did not try to stop him.
Zong Huai, who thought the matter was about to be settled but didn't want to know the news, rushed into the tent unconvinced and said, "I also admire the princess! Why can't the princess marry me!"
Men from the North never act shy.
The foreign king sat on top, looking down at his reckless and competitive youngest son.
No one knew that even if Sen Heng was not found, the King of Fan had never regarded Zong Huai as his heir.
The North needs a king who is both brave and resourceful, and Zong Huai is not suitable.
Now Zong Huai rashly wanted to marry the princess of Dayong again. The King of Fan's first reaction was to refuse. Before he could say anything, Master Xu, who was treated as a guest of honor, suddenly spoke.
"Why not invite the princess here to listen to what we have to say?" Master Xu had a subtle smile on his face.
The king looked at him deeply.
"Someone, ask the princess to come over."
Shi Li was invited here without knowing anything.
When I walked into the tent, I saw Zong Huai kneeling on the ground with a stubborn look on his face, and Sen Heng standing quietly beside him.
Shi Li glanced at them, then turned his gaze back to look at the King.
"The princess is stunningly beautiful, so it's no wonder that all the princes and nobles in the north have a crush on her. In the north, young men use wild beasts they hunted to express their love to women. Why not have a competition?"
Master Xu still smiled, glanced at Shi Li, and made a suggestion.
It is not easy to go out hunting in this cold winter.
Hearing this, Zong Huai's expression looked a little bad.
Hesitantly, he glanced at the expressionless king, gritted his teeth and stood up, "I think it's okay! Please grant me your permission, father!"
From beginning to end, Sen Heng didn't say a word, as if he hadn't realized what they were arguing about.
Shi Li didn't say anything either.
It would be redundant for her to speak again at this time.
She even wondered if she came here just for the sake of formality.
"That's right. It's true that only the bravest people are worthy of being the princess of Dayong."
The foreign king gently clapped his hands, and glanced at Sen Heng and Zong Huai, "Three days is the limit, you can go."
"what?"
Until this moment, Sen Heng, who had been out of the situation, slowly spoke, as if he had no idea what the people around him were talking about.
Shi Li: ...
This man is a little too clear and stupid.
Zong Huai looked at him with disdain and even couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"You hunt with him for three days, and if you lose, I must marry him."
Shi Li had no choice but to step forward and explain the matter in the simplest terms.
After hearing Shi Li's words, Sen Heng turned his head to look at Zong Huai. The fierce aura in his eyes made Zong Huai tremble involuntarily.
"We'll know the outcome in three days."
Zong Huai couldn't stay in the tent any longer, so he said something harsh and left in a hurry.
Sen Heng suppressed his evil spirit and looked down at Shi Li.
"Lili, wait for me."
