Chapter 78: Questioning

"Fortunately, I was more careful and pulled the person back." Zhang Kang broke out in a cold sweat.

Chang Wei led his troops back victoriously.

This means that Tuoba Lie's plan has failed.

"Also, the eunuchs from the capital seem to have brought the imperial edict to the King of Yan..." Zhang Yue told Zhang Kang what he saw.

After listening, Zhang Kang's face became uglier, "Are they talking and laughing?"

"Yes."

Zhang Kang was very depressed when he heard this. It was obvious that the eunuchs did not bring bad news.

...

Black Iron King's Tent.

"Pah! "

A whip came down from the air and hit Tuoba Lie's face.

Instantly, there was a blood mark on Tuoba Lie's face.

Blood beads came out from the wound.

Although it hurt, Tuoba Lie didn't dare to say a word, but just lowered his head deeper.

"Waste, you can't do such a simple thing, causing our Black Iron King's tent to lose 3,000 horses and the lives of more than 2,000 servants. If this gets out, we will become a joke on the grassland."

A burly man stood in front of Tuoba Lie.

The man was wearing exquisite clothes made of wolf skin, the leather boots on his feet were embroidered with wolf patterns, and the necklace on his neck was made of wolf teeth.

At this time, his unique black and red face of the grassland people was full of anger.

The fierce light flashed in his copper bell-like eyes.

"My king, it's Zhang Kang's fault, otherwise I wouldn't have failed. "Tuoba Lie wanted to tear Zhang Kang into pieces at this moment.

If he hadn't provided the wrong information, how could he be so bold.

Three thousand people went out of Beidaying, and he didn't even notice it.

He swore that if he could go back this time, he would definitely make Zhang Kang look bad.

"Don't make these excuses, Zhang Kang is also your man, you are just as useless as him." The man snorted angrily.

Walking in front of Tuoba Lie, he said coldly: "Our Black Iron King's Tent has never suffered such humiliation, this humiliation must be repaid with blood, if there is any mistake in this autumn hunt, you and him will die!"

"Don't worry, my king, there will be no more mistakes. According to Zhang Kang, the Yuan family also intends to get rid of this King Yan, and will not send troops for help at that time. "Tuoba Lie's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

There are ten tents in Beidi Court, one of which is Khan Court, where Khan lives.

There are ten kings' tents under Khan, and the leader of each king's tent is called the Great King, similar to the vassal kings of Dasong, each of whom governs a grassland and obeys the Khan's orders.

And he belongs to the ninth king's tent, a member of the Black Iron King's Tent.

The man in front of him is the ninth king, named Kutu.

For him, what the great king said is definitely not a joke.

"Well, the Prince of Yan's Mansion should also be filled with treasures and food as you said." Kutu walked to the outside of the king's tent.

The wind from the north rolled up the endless pasture like the tide.

The slight chill in the wind made him understand that the season of abundant water and grass was about to pass.

"My king, it is absolutely true. Although this Prince of Yan is hateful, he has made many strange things during this period, which have made him earn a lot of money. The fine wine that the king drank in the previous days was also brewed by the Prince of Yan's Mansion. "Tuoba Lie used all the words in his mind to describe Yancheng as desirable.

He knew that only by saying this could he appear to have some value in Tuku's heart.

"And there are beauties coming to Yancheng recently. If you break into Yancheng, the beauties and wealth will all be yours, my king."

Tuku's mouth began to rise. There was no Beidi who did not dream of taking the land, wealth and beauties of Dasong for himself.

"The territory of the Beidi people has no borders. One day, we will lead the cavalry and trample the mountains and rivers of Dasong." He remembered what the Khan said when he stroked his head.

Turning his head to look at Tuoba Lie, he said: "Go back to Yanzhou, don't let me down again."

"Yes, my king. "Tuoba Lie bowed and slowly left the king's tent.

Wipe the cold sweat from his head, he gritted his teeth and rode a fast horse towards Yanshan.

...

Yancheng.

After a day in Yancheng, Tong San wanted to go back.

For him, Yancheng was still too desolate and far less prosperous than the capital.

So he had no reason to stay for a few days.

"It is a pity that I can't get closer to my father-in-law for a few more days." Zhao Xu sent Tong San to the south gate.

"I am the same, but the emperor is waiting for me to go back and report, so I dare not stay any longer." Tong San looked regretful.

"In this case, I will not stay. "Zhao Xu bowed.

Although he didn't like false politeness, there was no way, that's how communication works.

Tong San nodded, and with two guards, he led the Northern Di captives southward.

A team of personal soldiers also went with them.

After all, more than a hundred captives cannot be escorted by three or two people.

Watching Tong San leave.

Zhao Xu reined in his horse and turned back, saying to Xu Lie: "Let's go to Tianxiang Tower."

The group entered Tianxiang Tower, and saw that the first floor of Tianxiang Tower was full of wealthy merchants and children of wealthy families.

Xu E sat upright on the stage, playing the piano while singing the lyrics "Bodhisattva Man" that he had written for her that day.

"The hills overlap and the golden light fades..."

Looking up and seeing Zhao Xu, Xu E's eyes were fixed on Zhao Xu, but she sang calmly.

The people below were also fascinated by the song, and no one dared to make a noise.

After the song was sung, thunderous applause rang out in the hall.

Someone sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such amazing lyrics and such wonderful songs in the world. ”

“It is truly heavenly music.”

“…”

Amid the praises of the crowd, Xu E bowed, gave Zhao Xu a look, and disappeared behind the screen with Huan'er's support.

Zhao Xu saw it and went straight up to the fourth floor and entered Xu E's room.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you came here today to call for punishment, right?" Xu E poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xu and asked softly.

"Do you still expect me to come and listen to you sing?" Zhao Xu snorted coldly, "If I hadn't found some clues, the bodies lying at the entrance of Qingfeng would be my soldiers."

Xu E looked ashamed, her eyes slightly red, "Your Highness, I didn't expect such a mistake to happen. They deliberately released this news to fool our people. Now I'm afraid that our Tianxiang Tower has also been targeted."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. If my lady hadn't revealed the assassination news to your Highness, the Zhang family would not have suspected that there were people from Qingfeng Village, and today's incident would not have happened." Xiao Huan argued.

Xu Lie muttered, "You just want to use His Highness."

Xiao Huan looked at Xu Lie, "Saving His Highness is a public matter, but also a private matter..."

"Shut up." Xu E scolded at this time.

Zhao Xu heard this and cast a questioning look at Xu E.

Xu E smiled, as if unwilling to say more, "It is indeed the fault of my Tianxiang Tower this time. If Your Highness punishes me, I have no way to refute it."

"Forget it, you saved my life after all." Zhao Xu sighed.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's just that I hope you can tell me everything you know, this is the sincerity of cooperation."

Xu E was stunned for a moment, "What does Your Highness want to know?"

"What do you say this king wants to know?" Zhao Xu slowly leaned over and stared into Xu E's eyes.
