King Youguli was stunned immediately.
He was just a little late because he accidentally ingested medicine powder, but he didn't intend to make Brother Wang faint from anger!
No, Brother Wang may not have fainted from anger...
After a brief moment of daze, seeing that the guards beside the prince had already escorted the man back to the tent, the Right Guli Prince directly chose to attack Qiulin Nanxing, "Prince, your health had recovered a lot in the past two days, but he fainted again out of nowhere. Did you do anything to him?"
The more the King of Youguli looked at Qiulin Nanxing, the more suspicious he felt. He suspected that the group of people he led to the Helian tribe had been poisoned by the powder and suffered from diarrhea and exhaustion, and were unable to continue their journey. This was Qiulin Nanxing's deliberate attempt to delay his return.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and rushed back, otherwise Qiu Linnanxing would not know what he would do to Brother Wang!
But, didn’t Brother Wang already lose trust in him and lock him up?
How come he is fine and staying by Brother Wang's side?
Facing the questioning of King Youguli, Qiulin Nanxing's face darkened, his face full of anger of being suspected, "Everyone in the tribe knows that my adoptive father has been kind to me, and I also regard him as my own father. My adoptive father is ill, and I am more worried than anyone else. How can King Youguli slander me like this?"
Qiulin Nanxing was detained by the Chanyu for two days, and was kept by the Chanyu's side, so outsiders did not know about it.
In the eyes of the tribal leaders, he is still the "Prince Nanxing" who is trusted and loved by the Chanyu and is always by his side.
At a time when the eldest prince had lost power, the second prince had been captured, and the other princes were still immature, his status was even slightly higher than those of the princes born to the Chanyu...
"How can this be pinned on Nanxing? I think maybe his previous illness has not yet healed, and the continuous travel in the past few days triggered the illness again." said a tribal leader who was on good terms with the Qiulin tribe.
Over there, the witch doctor of the Huyan tribe had already diagnosed that the cause of Chanyu's fainting was still poisoning.
The Right Guli King pointed at Qiu Linnanxing and said anxiously, "Maybe he was the one who poisoned your brother!"
Facing the repeated questioning from the King of Youguli, Qiulin Nanxing did not defend himself. After asking about the health of the Chanyu, he said to the Right Gudu Marquis and the leaders of the tribes, "We don't know when our foster father will wake up. Even if he wakes up, it is not advisable to go to Lingmen Pass, so as not to let the people of Dayong see any clues."
All the leaders nodded.
Yougu Duhou asked, "So, let's just call off the agreement at Lingmen Pass?"
The leader of the Tuoba tribe raised his eyebrows and said, "How can we do this? If we don't show up, those people from Dayong will think we are afraid of them!"
“What’s more, the second prince is still in Dayong’s hands.” said another tribal leader.
"But the Chanyu is now..."
"Why don't we let King Youguli stay to look after the Chanyu, and the rest of us go to Lingmen Pass? No matter what, we have to get the second prince back first."
Youguduhou said, "It just so happens that the chariot that the Chanyu ordered Prince Nanxing to supervise has also been delivered. Let's use King You of Dayong to test the power of this chariot."
Speaking of replacing people, everyone then remembered Princess Dayong who was brought back by King Youguli.
Yougudu Hou had already sent people to check. In the carriage carrying Princess Dayong, one person was unconscious, and the other two were crying, their faces were as pale as paper and they looked like they were about to faint.
The military power belonging to the Huyan tribe and the Chanyu was divided into three parts. The 60,000 soldiers of the Huyan tribe were respectively held by the left and right Guli kings. The military power in the hands of the left Guli king had been taken back by the Chanyu before, and he said in public that he would hand it over to Qiulin Nanxing after he woke up after trying the medicine.
But that was before!
King Youguli thought that after what happened at Tuoling Fort three days ago, his brother would no longer hand over the military power to Qiulin Nanxing.
But the token that was enough to command 30,000 troops had already fallen into the hands of the other party.
Together with Yougudu Hou, who was in charge of the Chanyu's private soldiers, and the tribal leaders who led the elite troops of the tribes, 80% of the people present agreed with what Yougudu Hou had just said.
Qiulin Nanxing will temporarily take over as Chanyu and continue the agreement at Lingmen Pass to get the second prince back from King You of Dayong and teach King You a lesson!
King Youguli naturally saw that Marquis Yougudu was speaking to Qiulin Nanxing.
But now that his brother was in a coma, he alone was powerless to stop everyone's decision, so he had to hold his nose and agree temporarily. While the team was gathering and setting off again, he quickly sent someone back to the royal court to summon the witch doctor to come and treat his brother.
As long as Brother Wang wakes up, no matter how many tricks Qiu Linnanxing uses, they will be useless.
If Brother Wang knew that the poisoning was related to Qiulin Nanxing, the moment Brother Wang woke up, Qiulin Nanxing would be beheaded!
But how could Qiu Linnanxing give him a chance to wake up again?
Even if Qiu Linnanxing is unable to do it.
There are also people who will lend him a helping hand.
…
"That's Master Nanxing?"
General Shi's eyes fell on the man on the chariot, who was wearing a mask and whose figure was obviously different from that of a barbarian. He looked slightly surprised, "The Northern Barbarian Chanyu actually transferred power to a person of an outsider?"
Although "Young Master Nanxing" is famous, he does not easily show himself in public. This is the first time that General Shi has seen him in person.
"If he hadn't been standing on the Northern Barbarians' chariot, I really wouldn't have recognized him as a barbarian. Could it be that this Young Master Nanxing's mother is from Dayong? Isn't it said that the Northern Barbarian Chanyu... is his uncle?"
General Shi smacked his lips and said, "Can uncle and nephew be closer than father and son? He didn't even show up when his own son was captured, but instead sent his nephew to come. This Northern Barbarian Chanyu is really confused."
"General Shi has sharp eyes. Qiu Linnanxing's life experience is indeed strange."
General Shi's eyes suddenly widened.
Then he heard His Royal Highness Prince You beside him continue to say: "The Northern Barbarian Chanyu, it's not that he doesn't want to come, but that he can't come."
General Shi's eyes were filled with even more shock.
King You Qi Xu, who was beside him, remained as calm as ever.
"Today, I will invite the general to watch a good show."
After saying that, Qi Xu raised his right hand.
Two guards immediately stepped forward, held down Prince Huyan's waving arms, and stopped him from yelling.
"This king and the Chanyu have agreed on a three-day deadline. Here, I will exchange the second prince Huyan for my sister Changning."
"Where is Changning?"
"Until I see that she is safe and sound, I will not return the Second Prince Huyan to you."
Qi Xu's figure appeared on the city wall.
His face was dignified and his expression was serious.
The messenger in charge of the announcement passed on the words verbatim.
Below, Qiu Linnanxing, who was standing on the chariot, also raised his right hand.
Two teams of Huyan warriors drove forward in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Princess Changning is in this carriage."
Young Master Nanxing then launched an attack, "We, the Northern Barbarians, treated the Princess of Dayong with courtesy and sent a carriage to escort her. But King You tied our prince to the city wall. Is this the demeanor of Dayong, a country that claims to be a country of etiquette?"
"May I ask if the Emperor of Dayong knows about King You's actions?"
