Li Xingsheng was resting and preparing when someone came looking for him.
"Mr. Sheng." A person dressed as a eunuch walked over to Li Xingsheng with a smile.
Li Xingsheng pretended to be very respectful and fearful, immediately saluting, "What orders does the master have?"
The eunuch looked around, then pulled Li Xingsheng to a secluded place, whispering, "I am with the Regent King. The Prince says you must win this competition."
Li Xingsheng smiled slightly, "Of course I want to win. Becoming the Great General is a matter of honor for my ancestors."
The eunuch's face suddenly darkened, "If you win, the Regent King has a reward. If you lose..."
Li Xingsheng pretended to be very excited, his eyes brightening, "How much is the reward?"
"A thousand taels of silver."
Li Xingsheng immediately said happily, "Do I get the silver now?"
"You have to win first. If you lose, the Prince won't let you off!" the eunuch warned in a low voice.
