"Khan, you are really too old to be on the throne anymore," Bru said impatiently. "Guards, take the Khan back to his tent."
He waved his hand, and immediately soldiers with knives stepped forward.
The Xiongnu king's face turned ashen. "Bru, you will be punished by heaven..."
Before he could finish speaking, two screams rang out, followed by the panicked cries of Bru's personal guards, "General..."
The Xiongnu king looked over and saw two more corpses on the ground. Bulu, who had just been so confident of victory, now had a drastic change in expression, because a sharp blade was pressed against his neck. If he moved even slightly, the blade would slit his throat.
"If you don't want your general to die on the spot, then all of you should leave the royal tent," Yelü Qi shouted coldly at the group of soldiers.
Bru snapped out of his daze, adopting a fearless stance, and said coldly, "Prince, if you have the guts, kill me today. I, Bru, am not afraid of death."
Seeing this, the soldiers felt relieved and surrounded Bru and Yelü Qi.
“Prince, I advise you to release our general. Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the entire Xiongnu, which will not do you any good.”
One of the guards, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, spoke in a chilling voice.
"Is that so?" Yelü Qi coldly glanced at Bru. "Since the general is not afraid of death, how can this prince not grant your wish?"
Before Bru could react, the sharp blade in his hand had already slashed into his throat.
Warm blood gushed out instantly.
Blue's eyes widened, and he fell straight down.
The guards were horrified, "General!"
Yelü Qi thrust the knife forward, saying, "Who else wants to follow in Bulu's footsteps? This prince will grant their wish."
The stench of blood filled the royal tent. Yelü Qi, holding a blood-stained scimitar, was terrifyingly bloodthirsty. For a moment, none of the personal guards dared to step forward. They all looked at him in fear and retreated.
They never expected that Yelü Qi would act so swiftly and decisively, and their General Bulu died by his blade.
General Bulu was, after all, a brave warrior of the Xiongnu with a large army under his command, so they were fearless and assumed that Yelü Qi would be wary.
But they were all wrong, and General Blue was especially so.
Before they could leave the royal tent, another group of soldiers had already surrounded them, trapping them all inside.
Blue's guards were terrified; by now, they understood everything.
The prince has set a trap today specifically to get rid of General Blue.
Bru thought he had victory in his grasp, but little did he know that he had given the prince an excuse to get rid of him.
The guards and soldiers dropped their swords and knelt before Yelü Qi.
From then on, none of the pro-war officials dared to make any more underhanded moves or oppose Yelü Qi.
The Xiongnu people have always revered military strength, and they would submit to whoever had the better skills.
Yelü Qi's repeated intimidation tactics had completely terrified them, and even those who had ideas in mind could only back down.
After Yelü Qi beheaded Bulu, he incorporated all of Bulu's troops into the royal army.
After Xie Jingrun carried Rong Qingqing away from the grassland, he went straight back to Suzhou City.
Jiangzhou and his group had already wisely returned to the Protectorate General's Office.
Rong Qingqing glanced at the man behind her and asked, "How come you have time to come to Suzhou? Don't you have any state affairs to attend to?"
