Once those words were spoken, a commotion arose, and discussions erupted.
"What? Three cities? Is this Eldest Prince of Bei Xia out of his mind?"
"How many cities does Bei Xia even have? How dare he wager three? Would King Bei Xia agree?"
"It's said that during this envoy to Eastern Chu, the King of Bei Xia has granted the Eldest Prince considerable authority. Promising these three cities is no problem for him. The question is, what exactly is his grand purpose in making such a promise?"
"What's so hard to understand about that? Bei Xia promised three cities for this contest. Eastern Chu is in a difficult position and has to follow suit by wagering three cities."
"Their goal is to acquire three cities from Eastern Chu!"
Bei Xia's reckless bet, with its ambition clearly written all over it, was obvious to everyone.
But after realizing this, whether Eastern Chu should accept the challenge became a question.
If they accept, it means they'll have to promise three cities.
