Seeing Nurhadu so furious at this moment, Li Yunting felt a little afraid, but more of it was resentment and unwillingness.
She was well aware of Nurhatu's prestige and strength. If he really got angry with her, she would probably have no place to stand in the Western Rong royal court.
However, she was unwilling to succumb to his power.
"My most valiant son, what has made you so angry so early in the morning?" Zhahemu, the Left Wise King, finally spoke, his voice tinged with praise and confusion. "What crime has this man committed to provoke such anger?"
Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu did not show any obvious displeasure at the disturbance caused by Nurhadu at the banquet this morning.
In fact, both Nurhadu and the other Western Rong nobles present knew that Zuo Xian Wang was dissatisfied with the Han Chinese temperament of the Great Zhou Dynasty revealed by Nurhadu. Even the slightest display of it was enough to anger him.
However, on the contrary, when Nurhachi showed the wildness, unruly, and even ruthless side of the grassland, Zuo Xian Wang often did not get angry. Instead, he would appreciate it and even be happy to see it happen.
This seems to indicate that in the eyes of Zuo Xian Wang, the wildness and unruliness of the grassland are more to his liking than the gentleness and elegance of the Han people.
Nurhadu took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger. He pointed at the man who was rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames, and said in a deep voice, "This man entered Xiguan Town without permission and robbed the Great Zhou army camp of food and fodder, breaking the alliance. He should be thrown into the grassland to feed the wolves!"
After that, he glanced at Li Yunting coldly and said meaningfully, "Princess, you may not know that this traitor was instigated and bewitched by certain people to commit such a heinous crime."
Li Yunting's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that if her affair with Dozier was exposed, she would probably be in trouble.
However, she remained calm and feigned grievance as she said, "Nurhadu, what do you mean by that? Are you hinting at something, implying that I'm involved with this traitor?"
"Whether there is an affair or not, the princess knows it in her heart." Nurhadu said coldly, "I just hope that the princess can keep herself clean and not do anything that will harm the interests of the Western Rong."
Li Yunting was so angry at Nurhadu's words that she was shaking all over. She was about to retort when she heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from afar.
Immediately afterwards, an armored soldier hurried to the front of the banquet, knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Doziger requests an audience."
Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Let him come over."
Soon, Doziger came in with several followers. He swept his eyes over everyone at the banquet, finally landing on Nurhadu and Li Yunting, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Father, I heard that today's banquet was very lively, so I came to join in the fun." Doziger said, walking up to the Left Wise King Zhahemu and bowing. "Father, may you be well."
"Yes." Zhahemu, the Left Wise King, nodded. "You have performed great service this time, and I have yet to reward you properly. Tell me, what reward do you desire?"
Upon hearing this, Doziger's eyes flashed with greed. He feigned humility and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I have only done my duty. If you really want a reward, I only want to ask for one thing."
"What's the matter?" asked Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu.
"I would like to ask my father to give me the Princess Ning Zhou as a reward."
Dozier's shocking words stunned everyone present, and then everyone looked at Li Yunting.
He seemed unaware of the strange looks from the crowd and continued shamelessly, "I have long admired the princess and wish to spend the rest of my life with her."
Li Yunting was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that Doziger would make such a request at this time. She turned her head and saw Zuo Xian Wang looking at Doziger with a gloomy expression, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Doziger, do you know what you are saying?" The voice of the Left Wise King, Zhahemu, was cold and dignified. "The princess is my consort. How can I give her to you so arbitrarily?"
"Father, please calm down." Doziger didn't seem to be afraid of the power of the Zuo Xian King. He smiled and said, "I was just joking. Why should you take it seriously?"
After saying that, he turned and walked up to Nurhadu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Nurhadu, I heard that you caught a traitor who broke the alliance? That's amazing!"
Although he was praising, there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Nurhadu looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Doziger didn't mind his indifference and continued to speak to himself, "But then again, you have the blood of a Great Zhou woman, so it's natural that you are loyal to the Great Zhou. However, we Xirong are the most united and powerful tribe! Any betrayer will only receive the punishment he deserves!"
As he said this, he glanced at Li Yunting meaningfully.
Li Yunting was so angry at his words that she was shaking all over, but she couldn't vent her anger. She thought Doziger was a lecher and wanted her to have an extra helper, but she didn't expect that the other party was so shameless and asked Zuo Xian Wang for her in front of everyone.
This undoubtedly put her in an embarrassing and dangerous situation, and if she was not careful she might fall into an irretrievable situation.
However, she could only suppress her anger and remain silent. In her heart, she secretly vowed to find a chance to get rid of this shameless man, Dozier!
The atmosphere at the banquet had become extremely tense. Dozier's shameless and provocative behavior made everyone present feel angry and embarrassed.
However, Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu did not get angry immediately. He looked at Doziger deeply, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
