Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 78: Questioning

"Thankfully, I had the foresight to pull the person back." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Kang's back.

Chang Wei led his troops back victoriously.

This means that all Tuoba Lie's plans failed.

"Also, the eunuch from the capital seems to have brought an imperial edict to King Yan..." Zhang Yue told Zhang Kang what he saw.

After hearing this, Zhang Kang's expression became even more ugly, "Are they talking and laughing?"

"Yes."

Zhang Kang was very depressed when he heard this. It was obvious that what this eunuch brought was definitely not bad news.

The Black Iron King's Tent.

"Snapped!"

A whip flew down from the sky and struck Tuoba Lie on the face.

In an instant, there was a bloodstain on Tuoba Lie's face.

A small drop of blood emerged from the wound.

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

"Trash, you couldn't handle such a simple thing, causing our Black Iron King's account to lose 3,000 horses, and also cost the lives of more than 2,000 servants. If this matter spreads, we will become a joke on the grassland."

A burly man stood in front of Tuoba Lie.

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

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

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

"Your Majesty, it's Zhang Kang's fault, otherwise I wouldn't have failed." Tuoba Lie wanted to tear Zhang Kang into pieces.

How could he be so bold if it weren't for the wrong intelligence he provided.

Three thousand people came out of Beida camp, but he didn't even notice.

He vowed that if he could go back this time, he would make Zhang Kang look good.

"Don't make these excuses. Zhang Kang is yours too, and you are a waste like him." The man snorted angrily.

Walking up to Tuoba Lie, he said coldly: "Our Black Iron King's tent has never suffered such humiliation. This humiliation must be repaid with blood. If Qiu Shou makes another mistake this time, both you and him will die!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will go wrong again. According to Zhang Kang, the Yuan family also intends to get rid of this King Yan, and will not send troops to ask for help then." Tuoba Lie had beads of sweat on his forehead.

Beidi has one court and ten tents, one of which is the Khan Court, which is the residence of the Khan.

There are ten royal tents under the Khan, and the leader of each royal tent is called a king. Similar to the vassal kings of Dasong, each has jurisdiction over a grassland and obeys the orders of the Khan.

And he belongs to the Ninth King's Account, a member of the Black Iron King's Account.

The man in front of him is the Nine Kings, named Kutu.

To him, what the king said was definitely no joke.

"Well, Prince Yan's Mansion should be as full of treasures and grain as you said." Kutu strolled outside the royal tents.

The wind from the north stirs the boundless pastures, rising and falling like the tide.

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

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Although this Prince Yan is hateful, he has come up with many weird things during this period, which have made him a lot of money. The wine that the king drank in the front row was also brewed by Prince Yan's Mansion. "Tuoba Lie exhausted 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 Tutu's heart.

"Moreover, a beauty has come to Yancheng recently. If we break into Yancheng, the beauty and wealth will belong to you, the king."

The corners of Tuku's mouth began to rise. There was no Beidi person who didn't dream of taking the land, wealth and beauty of Dasong as his own.

"The Beidi people's territory has no borders. One day, we will lead the cavalry and crush the mountains and rivers of Dasong." He recalled what Khan said when he caressed the top of his head.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tuoba Lie bowed and slowly exited the king's tent.

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

Yancheng.

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

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

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

"It's really a pity for me that I can't be close to my father-in-law for a few more days." Zhao Xu sent Tong San to the south gate.

"Isn't that the little slave? It's just that the emperor is waiting for the little slave to go back and respond to the decree, so the little slave doesn't dare to stay any longer." Tong San looked regretful.

"In that case, I will not stay any longer." Zhao Xu handed over his hand.

Although I don’t like fake politeness, I can’t help it, that’s how communication is.

Tong San nodded, and he and the two guards escorted the Beidi prisoners southward.

They were accompanied by a group of pro-army soldiers.

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

Watch Tong San leave.

Zhao Xu turned around and said to Xu Lie: "Go to Tianxiang Tower."

The group of people entered Tianxiang Tower and saw that the first floor of Tianxiang Tower was packed with wealthy businessmen and children of wealthy families.

Xu E sat on the stage, playing the piano and singing the lyrics "Bodhisattva Man" that he wrote for him that day.

"The hills overlap and the gold is bright and extinguished..."

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

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

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

Someone sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such amazing words and such beautiful music in the world."

"It's 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 help.

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 your singing?" 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 deceive our people. Now I'm afraid that our Tianxiang Tower has also been targeted."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. If it weren't for my lady revealing the assassination news to your Highness, the Zhang family would not suspect that there were people from Qingfeng Village, and there would not be today's incident." 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.
