King You ignored the imperial edict, left his fiefdom without permission and came to Beiguan.
It's no longer a secret.
The barbarians knew very well what this deposed prince was trying to achieve by bringing his troops to Beiguan without authorization!
It is just to gain a good reputation among the people by stepping on the corpses of their northern barbarian warriors.
Going a step further, they would use the border as a base to expand their influence until they could compete with the Emperor of Dayong and seize the throne!
Barbarians are warlike, and they believe that having the courage to fight for their own power is worthy of praise.
But the premise is that you can't step on them to get to the top.
What King You did was to provoke them and he did not take the northern barbarians seriously!
Why would a mere King You be like this?
"I will chop off this guy's head later and use his blood to pray for the Chanyu." The leader of the Tuoba tribe snorted coldly, "He detained the second prince privately and asked us to send the princess back, which violated the contract that the two countries had signed. Even if I kill him, I don't think the Emperor of Dayong will dare to say anything!"
Another tribal leader also sneered and echoed, "It's unpredictable. The Emperor of Dayong will thank us for dealing with his disobedient son for him."
Below, the leaders of the northern barbarian tribes already regarded King You as a dead man.
In their opinion, even if they failed to behead King You today, King You would die at the hands of Dayong's own people in the future.
Especially Qiu Linnanxing who was standing on the chariot.
He knew more about the situation in the capital of Dayong than others.
Emperor Xiao Ming indulged in wine and women, and completely handed over the government affairs to the second prince Qi Yao. Qi Yao... was an arrogant, brainless and irritable person, and he especially regarded Prince You Qi Xu as a thorn in his side.
As long as there is a little provocation, there is no doubt that he will send troops to capture Qi Xu and bring him back to the capital.
"King You didn't answer. Could it be that you made all this on your own?"
"Oh."
Faced with Qiu Linnanxing's blunt questioning, Qi Xu did not get angry but laughed instead.
His sharp eyes fell on Qiulin Nanxing and he asked, "May I ask what your position is that you come to ask this king?"
Qiu Linnanxing felt a chill in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.
Before he could answer, the Right Bone Lord beside him had already answered for him, "This is the Chanyu's adopted son, Prince Nanxing!"
"It turns out to be Young Master Nanxing from the Qiulin tribe." Qi Xu's expression was calm and his tone was unhurried.
Qiu Linnanxing felt that his words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly untie the Second Prince and send him down from the city wall!"
Qiu Linnanxing deliberately diverted everyone's attention away from himself.
However, Qi Xu seemed to have not heard what he just said. He continued to look into his eyes, chuckled, and said, "Your Excellency has the blood of the Great Yong, but you are valued by the Chanyu and supported by all the tribes. You are indeed very capable."
The messenger stared and repeated the sentence.
The entire Lingmen Pass, inside and outside the pass, was instantly silent.
General Shi was also stunned when he heard it. After a moment of daze, he seemed to understand something. He glanced at the stunned leaders of the northern barbarian tribes below in surprise, and then looked at Qi Xu.
Those who have been in the battlefield for a long time have the most acute senses.
He had a premonition that what Qi Xu was going to say next would be of great significance.
Perhaps, it will subvert the entire Northern Barbarians!
"nonsense!"
When Yougudu Hou saw the look Qiulin Nanxing was giving him, he frowned and said to the tribal leaders with a dark face, "Young Master Nanxing was raised by the Chanyu and us. Everyone knows who his father and mother are."
Yes, Qiulin Nanxing’s father was the previous leader of the Qiulin tribe, and his mother was a royal woman from the Huyan tribe and the half-sister of the Chanyu.
Although both of them have passed away, their identities cannot be false.
As for the rumor that Qiulin Nanxing was "replaced by someone", it is even more impossible. Because his parents died early, he was often taken to the royal court of the Huyan tribe since he was a child, although his true appearance was not often revealed to outsiders.
But there were still many people around Shanyu who witnessed his growth.
Although he was born with a thin build and looked more like a person from Dayong, it was clear that he had the blood of the northern barbarians flowing in his veins!
This is not King You of Yong, who can be discredited with just a few words.
Qiulin Nanxing didn't know what King You had found out in private.
However, his identity could stand up to scrutiny, after all, there was a generation between him and the Empress Dowager of Dayong. Even if he was caught with some clues, he could still deny that he knew nothing about it.
With a bit of timely anger on his face, Qiu Linnanxing looked up at the man in black clothes on the city wall and said coldly: "Today's appointment was caused by King You."
"Could it be that King You tricked all of our northern barbarian tribes here just to humiliate me in front of everyone?"
"humiliation?"
Qi Xu chuckled and shook his head, "Not really."
"I just admire your good tactics. You have fooled the Northern Barbarian Chanyu and the various tribes over the years."
Seeing that Qi Xu was still clinging to these words, Qiu Linnanxing's eyes turned cold and he ordered: "Archers, get ready."
"Chariot, get up."
At a command, hundreds of bows were raised towards the wall of Lingmen Pass at the same time.
At the same time, there were several "click" sounds coming from each chariot, including the one under Qi Xu's seat. If you listened carefully, it seemed like the sound of some mechanism or lock.
The leaders of all tribes followed Qiulin Nanxing's orders. They were no longer willing to listen to King You's nonsense.
However, at this moment, another voice came from the top of the wall.
"If what I said is correct, the Chanyu was unable to come here today because of illness, is that correct?"
This one sentence made the northern barbarians, who had just been furious, shudder.
