From the first row of successors of the Shi clan emerged a young man, broad-shouldered, tall, with dark hair, and serious in features like his father. Then his assistant came forward to read the subscription decree aloud:
The Third Prince, the commander of the Shi Clan's armies, and the proposed successor, the Warrior of the Lions, announce Prince Shihua's participation in the Heaven's Quest.
The presence of Third Prince Shi Hua and the announcement of his honorable achievements struck terror in the faces of those present, and even silenced the tongue of anyone who might intend to participate, except for the Second Prince's applause Tu clan:
"The Second Prince of the Tu Clan announces his participation, no, no, but my participation in the Heaven's Mission."
The older brother patted him on the shoulder and whispered to him: Where is your assistant? "It is not permissible to advertise in this way."
Tu Bao said happily: My assistant is busy with an urgent mission.
His older brother's face was filled with shock at his disregard for official engagement protocols, while the Second Prince continued to talk about his boyish accomplishments:
Jumping from the highest waterfall in the area 3 times, winning twice in a row in a fight with thorny sticks, killing a three-eyed cobra that tried to kill a young cub with...
Xi's leader interrupted him, commenting with disdain: Are these considered achievements? Leader Tu, it seems that you are not much different from the Gao family's approach haha.
The Alto leader's stick is directed at his naive son's stomach, but he remains silent and does not hesitate to respond, had it not been for his eldest son's comment:
"What is worth noting is fighting people who have a mind and a war strategy, not lost lions."
Tu Bao muttered as he massaged his stomach: "Do you mean to bomb him or bomb me?" I can not understand you
Suddenly, the Gao Family Counselor's trumpet sounded louder, announcing:
"The Gao Clan announces that First Prince Gao Gui and his assistant Jian Hao have been nominated for the Heavenly Mission...
A young man of good appearance, handsome features, kind tongue and dress comes forward:
I am honored to have this unique experience, and I promise to return safe and sound
The second heir of the Shi Clan couldn't help himself and laughed loudly:
Come back safely? You? Hahahaha, do you think the sky is a children's playground? What's even worse is sending assistants to protect them, haha
His older brother answers, saying: Maybe they have no solution but to send these mocking dolls
The lion laughs while his cubs enjoy eating the dignity of the enemy's children. Then he limits their comments to a question that cannot be answered:
Why can't my eyes see anyone with the level of ferocity of the Shi Clan?
- He patted Shi Hua on the back proudly
The leaders of the two clans had no choice but to offer praise and look at their sons with embarrassment… until he directed his harsh words to the Yan Clan Chief.
**Well, maybe you are luckier than a throne that has no successor, hahahaha...
The final ruling was a judge for the leader of the Fourth Clan, who was unable to produce a single heir for his kingdom after thirty marriages...
Prince Tu Bao said in surprise: Didn't he have daughters? One of them can participate, and the sky does not specify the gender of the participants
The men's necks snapped in shock at the rigidity of his mind and nerves. For them, a girl has no position other than marriage. She has no job but to please the man. Therefore, the opinion of the Second Prince (Bao) added an additional point to his record of embarrassments during official meetings...
Leader Shi shook his head, considering the Tu Clan Cat's point of view: "Are you like his daughters? In that case, if she is able to hold a sword and fight with it, then you should also master dancing and dressing for masters, haha."
The tribesmen laughed loudly, agreeing on the stupidity of what _Bao_ said.
Bao: Why does this old man like to embarrass me in all meetings? His tongue is as ugly as...
The eldest brother remained silent, and maintained his calm: "Bao, don't speak again. What is going on between them does not concern us."
"I will participate in the name of the Yan Clan."
The youngest princess of the Yan family climbs the ladder of her clan... The hem of her silk dress hangs over the platform with overwhelming allure... She continues to pull the headdress over her so as not to catch their lustful gazes... She approaches the sage with complete preparation without worry... by storming the council of leaders and interrupting their discussions the mission ...
Whispers spread among them about the identity of the girl who defies tradition and participates in heavenly missions reserved for men only.
Leader Shi: What is happening is a lack of modesty and a lack of respect for the prestige of the clans
Leader Gao: Even if I'm against your way of speaking, you're right this time. The girl has her status and it is impossible to equate her with the one who carries the sword.
The wise man ends their revolution: let whoever he wants from each clan come forward, because in the end whoever can return is the one who wins.
Tu Bao retreated next to his brother: What does he mean by those who managed to return??
He didn't answer, just pushed him back and stood in the middle of the platform, where the three princes were with their assistant Jian Hao.
The old man raised his hands to the sky: The journey map is waiting for you in the coastal village of Huan. May heaven bless your path
****awakens****
He wakes up with his head wet...his hands and feet tied to a wooden beam inside a dark cell...
** What is this place ? Isn't there anyone here? "
He tries to evade the ropes holding him in place, and makes a loud noise.
"Fuck, let me out. Why did you tie me up? Where am I?"
"It's in your best interest not to get out of here."
When he looked behind the wooden bars, he was surprised by the leaders of the Gao and Tu Weiyan clans waiting for him to regain consciousness.
Jian Hao: Leader Gao, I...
Commander Gao: You're so despicable that I can't trust you. It was not enough that you failed to protect Prince Gaoji, but that you returned empty-handed. This way we will never get rid of the Shi Clan's wrath.
Commander Tu: Is what you said about the loss of the princes true? Tell me what happened to them?
Commander Yan: Yes, yes, tell me that Yan Xi is fine. I'll weigh you in gold if you point me to her location
_Jian Hao bowed his head humbly_
I'm sorry, gentlemen, I couldn't protect them. A coward like me deserves to have his head cut off. I'm the scum of the guards.
Leader Gao: Rather, you are a curse that will destroy my throne at the hands of that tyrant. Your return alone has put us in a difficult situation with the Shi clan leader. Tell me what should I do now? Should I declare mourning for my son or declare war on him?
Commander Tu: The war has been lifted by order of heaven
Leader Gao: If I don't announce it, he will. Didn't you hear his clear threat? If this loser doesn't mention the location of the treasures, he won't have mercy on anyone from my clan. We will all be killed. He has refrained from fighting us for years because of the Heaven's Mission, and now that it has failed, he will set the kingdom on fire.
The Tuo leader sighed in annoyance: Does he think customs and laws are harmful to his temperament? The war between the four clans continues until Heaven's Mission is officially over, and his haste causes chaos everywhere.
Commander Yan: Isn't there a heartbeat in his chest? As if he didn't lose a son like us, that's terrible
Leader Gao: He won't feel it, because five young men are ready to take the throne for him, unlike us. And now we have to protect the only back of our throne from him, oh.
Leader Gao was silent for a moment, then shook his sword:
It seems that there is no solution for me except to protect my land. In my opinion, our thrones must unite and wage a fierce war against him before he attacks us.
Commander Yan: Yes, yes, yes, let's cooperate
The Tu leader kept guessing their reckless solutions and the ferocity of the situation. His only concern was to prevent any war from occurring according to the covenant he swore to the Heavenly Sage, regardless of each clan's intention...
The three let out a heavy breath of worry and sadness... until the guard came quickly:
Sir, Heaven is satisfied with us. He is satisfied
Leader Gao: Speak, speak, make me happy
Guard: The four princes, they have returned safely
They turned to Jian Hao... whose eyes widened upon hearing the news...
Jian Hao: You said who? Who is back??.
