Chapter 240 One Wife, Two Husbands

Inside Wuwei City, Tang Zhao ate hot pot with Princess Xuan and Lady Ming on and off for half a month. Her usually smooth forehead suddenly broke out in pimples, which startled Tang Zhao so much that she quickly drank herbal tea to cool down.

When invited by Princess Xuan to have hot pot for lunch, Tang Zhao made an excuse and rode off to the military camp on horseback.

Hearing that the weapons workshop has doubled the production of high-strength steel and made it even harder, Tang Zhao wants to have a new longsword made.

She is now using the longsword that came with her mother's dowry, and Tang Zhao is afraid that if she damages it, she will come to settle scores with her in the middle of the night.

Wu Yi'er, quick-witted, asked, "Miss, shouldn't our General of the Nation's personal guards also be equipped with newly forged weapons?"

Tang Zhao glanced at him. "What, you're already complaining about the first batch before the second batch of high-performance steel even comes out?"

I don't know who first forged a gun head from steel, but they loved it so much they couldn't put it down.

"Hehe!" Wu Yi'er wasn't embarrassed at all when he was told this. "Since we're following the young lady, we'll naturally benefit from her and get to use the best weapons."

That makes sense. The personal guards of the Protector General's Mansion and the guards of Wuwei City should naturally use the newest and most advanced weapons.

"Don't worry, once the weapons workshop finishes forging, the first batch will be available for you."

The Xuan Tie Camp had to be placed at the back.

"Thank you, Miss Xie!" Wu Yier and the others shouted excitedly.

Suddenly, a young man dressed in light clothing and with an exotic appearance sped past them.

In that direction, there was only the Northwest Army's garrison.

“Girl, this man smells strongly of blood,” Wu Yi’er said, her sense of smell and eyes sharp. “There are also bloodstains on the hem of his clothes.”

"These people are up to no good," Tang Zhao said decisively. "Go, stop them!"

"Yes!" Wu Yi waved his hand, and four personal guards quickly chased after him.

Gulibanu's horses had been traveling all night and were exhausted, so they were overtaken by Wu Shi and the others in less than an incense stick's time.

"Who are you?" Gulibanu asked warily, his eyes bloodshot. "Why are you blocking my way?"

Wu Shi said, "My master invites you to have a chat."

Who is your master?

Wu Shi proudly declared, "The master of Wuwei City is Princess Zhaoshan!"

Princess Zhaoshan! Gulibanu had heard of this title before. He knew that this Princess Zhaoshan was the daughter-in-law of Prince Xuan's mansion and Gu Ci's wife!

They are his enemies!
Heaven has eyes, allowing him to meet here. Since it is fate, let's start by dealing with Princess Zhaoshan!

Gulibanu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The five men turned their horses around and returned, soon encountering Tang Zhao and his pursuers.

Ignoring Gulibanu's murderous gaze, Tang Zhao stared at his face, which bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Gulibanu's, and affirmed, "You are a member of the Gulibanu clan."

"I am a son of the Guli clan," Guli Banu said in an unfriendly tone, suddenly drawing his long sword and shouting, "and I am also your and the Xuanwang Mansion's enemy!"

"Protect the girl!" Wu Yi'er rode his horse to protect Tang Zhao, while Wu Shi quickly drew his sword to block Gulibanu's longsword.

When Gulibanu missed his attack, he saw Tang Zhao sitting on his horse without flinching or dodging, looking like an equal but actually superior. He was filled with hatred and fought with all his might against the personal guards of the Protectorate General's Mansion.

Tang Zhao was puzzled. The young man looked at her as if she were his mortal enemy, but she had always been on good terms with the Bone Force Clan. Dili had even invited her to have hot pot a while ago!
How long has it been? How did they become mortal enemies with the Bone Force Clan?
Tang Zhao had a gut feeling that something was wrong. "Be careful, try not to hurt anyone!" Wu Shi agreed and, together with the other guards, engaged in a series of attacks. Soon, Gulibanu was captured alive due to exhaustion.

"Tang Zhao, you vile woman!" Gulibanu cursed, "Kill me if you want, torture me if you want! Even if I die, I, Gulibanu, will become a vengeful ghost to seek revenge on you!"

"Insolence!" Wu Yi'er roared in anger. "How dare you insult the Princess!"

Wu Shi even slapped him across the face!

By the time Tang Zhao realized what was happening, there was already blood at the corner of Gulibanu's mouth.

Tang Zhao looked up at the sky, thinking that his subordinates' excessive loyalty was a headache.

Seeing that Wu Shi was about to fight again, Tang Zhao quickly stopped him, "You're the brother-in-law that Dili mentioned who's been wandering around, right? You received a letter from Dili? It didn't mention me?"

Based on her understanding of Dili, whenever Dili chatted with her tribesmen, she would always boast about how wonderful she was, like a fanatical fan!

When Gulibanu saw that Tang Zhao still dared to mention Dili, he glared at her fiercely, "My sister-in-law is too naive to befriend a treacherous and vicious woman like you!"

It's pitiful that in his sister-in-law's last letter, she was still writing about how good Tang Zhao was and how harmonious the relationship was between the Guli clan and the Xuanwang Mansion.

Tang Zhao was both amused and annoyed. "No, how am I a poisonous woman?"

"You're from the Xuan Prince's mansion, and there's not a single good person in the entire Xuan Prince's mansion, from top to bottom!"

This is too broad a target. Tang Zhao's smile faded as he said, "What makes you think there are no good people in the Xuan Prince's mansion?"

"Your Xuanwang Mansion pretended to be on good terms with my Guli clan, but behind my back you killed my entire Guli family!" Gulibal gritted his teeth in hatred. "If I hadn't been traveling, I probably would have fallen victim to your evil deeds too!"

"Now that I've been captured by you, I only regret that I have no power to avenge my family!"

"What did you say?" Tang Zhao exclaimed in shock, "Dilireba is dead?"

Gulibal thought Tang Zhao was asking a question he already knew the answer to, so he snorted and stopped talking.

"Whether you believe it or not, neither I nor the Xuan Prince's Mansion have ever done such a thing!" Tang Zhao suppressed the sadness in his heart. "If you have evidence to prove that the Xuan Prince's Mansion did this, the Xuan Prince and I will stand up for you and make those who harmed your family pay the price!"

"You!" Gulibanu was shocked. Recalling what his sister-in-law had said in the letter, he began to believe that Tang Zhao hadn't killed his entire family. His attitude softened. "I have evidence!"

Tang Zhao waved his hand, and Wu Shi and the others released their grip on Gulibanu, but still dared not relax their grip.

"Alright, then take your evidence and I'll take you to see King Xuan!"

Gulibanu wiped the blood from his mouth, turned around, mounted his horse, and followed Tang Zhao all the way to the Northwest Army's garrison.

When the scouts stationed ten miles away were welcoming Tang Zhao, they discovered an extra foreign man in the procession who was injured and covered in blood. They immediately reported this to King Xuan.

"A young man from a foreign land?" King Xuan hurriedly looked at his son, his tone very anxious. "Has Zhao Zhao finally grown tired of you and come to confess to you with her new lover?"

Gu Ci: 。 。 。 。 。 。

Gu Ci really wanted to smash the bowl in his hand over King Xuan's head.

The more King Xuan thought about it, the more convinced he became. While glaring at his son, who seemed more anxious than the emperor, he frantically drafted a plan in his mind, thinking about how to promote his son later.

If all else fails, one wife and two husbands is also an option!
Therefore, as soon as Tang Zhao stepped into the royal tent, King Xuan rushed to her and whispered, "Zhao Zhao, although it has always been the case that men have three wives and four concubines since ancient times, I think that it is not impossible for women to have multiple wives and concubines as well, especially women who are capable, have status and position. What do you think, Zhao Zhao?"

Tang Zhao looked at Gu Ci with a puzzled expression: What is Father fantasizing about now?!
