Seeing Li Yuanqing agree, a sinister smile formed on Lu Shang's lips beneath his black robe. He licked them and said, "Good. You're the one who proposed this bet. If I lose, I'll get on my knees and apologize. But if *you* lose, what price are you willing to pay?"
Li Yuanqing sized him up and down before asking coldly, "What do you want?"
Lu Shang stared at Li Yuanqing and chuckled. "I'd love for your head to roll, but you're still a Prince, after all. I don't feel like causing trouble for myself right now, so we'll forget about that condition..."
He closed his eyes, pondering for a long moment, then suddenly spoke. "How about this? If you lose, you will become my slave. In return, I will support you in taking the throne as the Emperor of the Great Zhou. As for that so-called Crown Prince, I can help you eliminate him as well..."
Li Yuanqing's expression changed at his words.
He never imagined the man would be so ambitious, or his words so audacious.
