Qin Yining smiled. Her smile was so bright that it took one's breath away.
"Khan really knows how to joke. To convince others, you need to have substance and reason. If you can't argue, it can only mean that you don't have reason or your thoughts are unclear. Khan, don't belittle all Tatan women. Besides, it's traditional for women in Da Zhou to follow etiquette and etiquette. This is because of the environment in which they grew up. Just like how Tatan women follow their tribes to seek survival from a young age and learn many praiseworthy skills, women who are able to live dutifully in this world are not inferior to anyone else. It's just that different environments create different lives and specializations. Khan is a heroine who doesn't lose out to men, but you shouldn't belittle yourself. "
Qin Yining's reasoning was so strong that A Nari's brain couldn't process it. She could only stare at her annoying face, wishing that she could use a knife to cut her face a few times to vent her anger.
In front of her subjects, she was a kidnapped hostage, yet she dared to provoke her like this!
A Nari coldly reprimanded, "Don't show off your little bit of knowledge! Ben Khan is naturally a heroine who doesn't lose out to men. Unlike you, you're just a dodder flower hiding behind a man! If you really have some ability, then show it to Ben Khan. Won't that be enough to convince him? Right now, you're just talking nonsense. What's so great about that? "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Then Khan, tell me, as the legitimate daughter of a minister of the imperial court, as a Princess Consort, what ability should I show you?"
"You! If you have the ability, then don't show off in front of your father and man. How about we have a fair competition? " A Nari was determined to make things difficult for Qin Yining. She looked around and then raised her whip, "Let's compete in horsemanship!"
Qin Yining raised her eyebrows. She turned her eyes and tactfully refused, "Khan is skilled in horsemanship. How can I be a match for Khan? Let's not compete. "
Qin Yining's voice was soft and gentle, revealing the unique gentleness of a southern woman. Some of the herdsmen around them could understand Da Zhou's language, so they passed on the information to the people around them.
Everyone looked at the beautiful woman and felt that her words were very sincere.
The Khan grew up on horseback since he was a child. How could a rich young lady from Da Zhou compare to him? They had heard that there were many women from official families in Da Zhou who had to bind their feet until they were crippled. They even said that they were beautiful. How could a woman who couldn't even stand properly know how to ride a horse?
With this thought in mind, some honest herdsmen curiously looked at Qin Yining's feet. However, the robe covered his feet and they couldn't see clearly.
A Nari smirked and mocked, "That's why I said you're just an embroidered pillow who only knows how to talk. If you don't want to compete, then so be it. I'll just treat you Da Zhou women as people who only have looks. If you're an ordinary woman who doesn't know how to ride a horse, then I'll let it go. I didn't expect Zhi Pan 'an's Family to raise such a daughter who doesn't even have the courage to accept the challenge. "
A Nari shook her head as she said this, as if she was very sorry. "I really feel sorry for Zhi Pan 'an. His reputation is going to be ruined by you. "
Everyone could finally see it now.
The Khan hated this woman from Da Zhou from the bottom of his heart. The reason might be that this beautiful woman had something to do with the Khan's son-in-law.
Some of the married women couldn't stand seeing their men having anything to do with young and beautiful women. Therefore, they could understand why A Nari refused to let go of Qin Yining. They all spoke out to support her, saying that if Qin Yining didn't dare to accept the challenge, then she would lose the face of all the women in Da Zhou.
Qin Yining didn't want to compete at first. In other people's territory, no matter if she won or lost, the other party would find an excuse to slander her. Moreover, she could feel that after being injured and losing blood again, and after the torment in the desert, her body was not as good as before. She didn't have the strength she used to have.
But she was never a person who would easily back down.
A Nari's clamor successfully evoked her courage. She would rather lose than avoid the challenge! Otherwise, she wouldn't have the face to say that she was Zhi Pan 'an's daughter and Prince Zhongshun's wife!
"Okay." Qin Yining took a few steps forward and went around to A Nari through a gap in the wooden fence. She said, "But I don't have a horse."
A Nari raised her hand, and one of the men who had stopped racing led a red horse over.
The horse was tall and strong, with a long mane. It looked like a wild horse.
Some of the people in the tribe who recognized the horse began to worry for Qin Yining.
This horse was originally a wild horse, but because it was injured and was rescued by them, they kept it by their side. Once its injuries were healed, they wanted to tame this horse, but even the man with the best horsemanship in the tribe took three months to barely make this horse bow its head to him. Moreover, this horse was very stubborn. After recognizing the man as its master, it was only willing to let him ride it alone, and no one else could touch it.
A Nari had seen the horse before the race, so of course she knew how wild it was.
She smiled mockingly. "Then, I'll give you this one."
The man led the horse over and threw the reins and whip to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining slowly walked towards the red horse under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.
"Princess, you have to be careful."
Lu Heng and Si Qin had unknowingly arrived at the side.
Seeing Qin Yining approaching the red horse, Lu Heng said nervously, "If you can't do it, just admit defeat. Where there's life, there's hope. There's no need to hurt yourself because of a moment of anger."
Lu Heng's handsome and noble face was filled with genuine worry. He had been watching for a long time, but as captives, they had to listen to someone else no matter what. The people around him had all died, so there was nothing he could do about this situation. Qin Yining was the woman he liked, and they were both from Da Zhou. At this time, he couldn't help but remind her.
Qin Yining turned around and nodded at Lu Heng with a smile, but she didn't agree in her heart.
Admit defeat?
She had never admitted defeat since she was born!
When she was young in the mountains, when she encountered wild beasts, especially wolves, as long as she showed fear once, she would have been eaten until not even her bones were left.
When facing wild beasts, the best way was to be even more ferocious than them!
Qin Yining held the whip in one hand and the reins in the other.
The red horse snorted unhappily, stomped its hooves, and shook its strong neck in dissatisfaction, resisting Qin Yining's hand that was holding the reins.
However, Qin Yining's fighting spirit had been completely ignited at this time. She had long forgotten about the discomfort in her body. Her eyes were as bright as two clusters of flames. She tightly held the reins in her hands and pulled hard. Then, she nimbly pulled the saddle and mounted the horse.
The red horse let out a long neigh, then immediately flipped its body and kicked its hind hooves hard, trying to throw Qin Yining off.
The onlookers exclaimed. Some of the timid women and children had already covered their eyes in fear.
