Chapter 600: The Eighth Prince Breaks the Slave
Princess Jingshu felt relieved when she saw him being beaten, and she was naturally happy.
Fourteen did not stop until the Imperial Guards arrived.
"He kidnapped me, the princess. Arrest him and put him in jail!" Princess Jingshu said angrily.
The guards tied up Haoden and took him away.
Tangli rode horses with Princess Jingshu, and was protected in the center by a group of guards.
Princess Jingshu stretched out her hand and put her arm around Tangli's waist.
"Tangli, you are so amazing."
Just now, Tangli's guards were fighting the barbarian. It was obvious that the barbarian was more powerful. If Tangli hadn't taken action, he probably wouldn't have been defeated. Tangli attacked with a dagger in his hand, looking so heroic that her heart was pounding.
She used to like Tangli, thinking she was very smart and could make Jinse, whom she hated, very angry.
From that moment on, she now worshipped her.
I wish I were as capable as her.
He remains calm in the face of adversity and possesses such impressive skills...
She also needs to be braver and learn martial arts!
Princess Jingshu chattered incessantly, and Tangli listened with a smile.
"Do you know who that barbarian is?" Tang Li asked.
Speaking of that barbarian, Princess Jingshu's face suddenly turned cold.
"Who is he?! No matter who he is, I want him dead!"
“Haoden, the second prince of the Xiongnu.” Tang Li whispered.
Princess Jingshu was shocked: "The Xiongnu envoy is here to ask for marriage on his behalf? He's actually in the capital?!"
Such a disgusting barbarian is not even one tenth as good as Gu Huaijin. No, he is not even worthy of being compared with Gu Huaijin. If she marries such a person, she would rather die!
"Yes, so be careful when you go out next time." Tang Li said.
"I will. But he is the second prince, so my father won't kill him." Princess Jingshu puffed up her cheeks and was as angry as a goldfish!
"Luckily I just beat him up!" Princess Jingshu said, then suddenly thought of something and became worried again. "Will he complain to my father? Will he implicate you?"
"Just pretend you don't know his identity as the second prince. Shouldn't the Hun envoy be beaten for kidnapping the princess in the street?" Tang Li asked.
Princess Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "He deserves a beating!"
The Imperial Guards escorted Haoden through the streets of the capital, attracting countless onlookers.
Haoden’s expression was extremely ugly.
He felt like he was being paraded through the streets like a criminal and had never suffered such humiliation!
One day, he will kill all the Zhou people who laugh at him!
The second floor of a restaurant.
A young man stood on the second floor, watching the scene, his eyes slightly narrowed, his lips raised, and he looked particularly happy.
This person was none other than the eighth prince of the Xiongnu, Po Nu.
There is a Chinese saying that goes 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it'.
Haoden was the mantis, trying every possible way to gain benefits for himself. Po Nu was the oriole, deciding to follow him and reap the benefits.
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been secretly following Haoden.
He didn't expect to see such an interesting scene today.
He and Haoden had endless grievances that could be discussed for days and nights, and he hated Haoden to the core.
Now that he saw Haoden being humiliated, he felt very good.
Po Nu's gaze drifted to one of them, and suddenly his gaze froze, staring at her intently.
"It's her." He whispered with surprise.
Tang Li, who was riding a horse below, seemed to feel a gaze, and looked up, but only saw a figure. Because the horse moved forward, it disappeared in an instant.
Tangli withdrew his gaze, not caring and quickly put it out of his mind.
Haoden was thrown into jail.
When the Hun envoy learned about this, he immediately went to the emperor to plead for mercy. The emperor was unwilling to let him go. Since he dared to kidnap his beloved daughter, he would naturally punish him severely, even killing him would not be an exaggeration!
The Xiongnu envoy had to reveal Haoden's true identity. The emperor was a little surprised and seemed to be thinking about it, but he also ordered Haoden to be released.
After Emperor Zhou sent away the Hun envoys, he went to find Princess Jingshu.
When Princess Jingshu saw him, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Father, I was almost scared to death when I was pulled onto the horse. I was so afraid that I would never see you again." Princess Jingshu said aggrievedly.
Emperor Zhou touched her head, feeling distressed: "Father's little Azhi has been wronged."
"Father, how is that barbarian?"
Emperor Zhou's eyes were filled with helplessness: "Azhi, that barbarian is the second prince of the Xiongnu. I'm sorry, father can't vent your anger for the time being."
Princess Jingshu nodded obediently: "I know, my father is also very hard-working, I don't blame him."
"Your Majesty's little Azhi is so well behaved," Emperor Zhou said softly, "But your Majesty has made note of this and will definitely seek redemption for you."
…
Haoden returned to Huitong Hall late at night, looking very embarrassed.
He had a very unlucky day. Not only did he suffer humiliation, but his identity was also exposed!
He originally concealed his identity. Once his identity was exposed, it would be like having another handle in the hands of Emperor Zhou.
Haoden was so angry that he almost tore the room apart.
…
Tang Li heard the news that Haoden was released from prison the next morning.
This is actually expected.
In the current situation, after the emperor knew Haoden’s identity, he would definitely not make things difficult for him. After all, if Haoden was severely punished, it would be equivalent to breaking off relations with the Xiongnu. If the Xiongnu chose to cooperate with Qi at that time, it would be more trouble than gain.
Because of this, Tangli asked Fourteen to beat Haoden severely, which was also a way to vent his anger.
If Haoden wants to be completely finished, there must be progress on the side of her husband and third brother. If the Qi-Chu alliance is broken, the Xiongnu will not be able to jump up.
However, they had just set off the night before, and it would take more than ten days for them to arrive, so it couldn't be that fast.
Moreover, how difficult would it be to persuade Qi not to form an alliance with Chu?
Unfortunately, she could only worry at home and was unable to help.
"Madam, there is a young man outside who wants to see you." The servant reported.
"Whose young master is this?" Tang Li asked.
"The young man looked to be about twenty years old. He said that the lady had saved him outside the city of Qinzhou." The servant continued.
Around the age of twenty, outside Qinzhou City...
A person immediately popped up in Tangli’s mind. Could it be?
If it really is him, that would be great!
"Please invite that young man in." Tang Li said.
Soon, the young man was invited in.
Tang Li stared at his face for a while. As she thought, he was really a broken slave!
When I first met Po Nu, he was still a teenager with a childish look on his face. Now, his facial features have grown a lot and he looks handsome. There is a scar on his face, which makes him look more heroic.
Moreover, his eyes have also changed a little. He looked like a wolf cub before, but now after calming down, he has become colder and more resolute.
Po Nu also stared at Tang Li and smiled. Suddenly, his whole face looked much softer.
"Tangli...Sister, we meet again."
The servant who followed Po Nu was surprised. He had been with the eighth prince for five years and had never seen the prince so gentle and defenseless.
