With a soft "poof".
Murong Xue spat out more than a dozen teeth.
"You coward, do it!"
"I'd like to see how you people plan to die."
Xiang Yu's two slaps knocked out the arrogant and domineering Murong Xue.
Murong Xue fell straight to the ground.
None of the wolf guards around him dared to step forward to help him up.
Jiang Tian's powerful aura made the wolf guards present not even dare to breathe.
"A small country that does not know how to show weakness is doomed."
“You Xianbei people have challenged my bottom line time and time again. If I don’t destroy you, who will I destroy?”
Dian Wei and Xiang Yu glared at the dozen or so Xianbei wolf guards, and their legs suddenly went weak, causing them to kneel down with a thud.
"Coward." Jiang Tian sneered.
"Guards, arrest Murong Xue and all his wolf guards and take them to the Imperial Guard's prison."
"Let Lu Jianxing interrogate him properly."
The Imperial Guards rushed in quickly.
They were paired up.
They tied the wolf guards up tightly.
"Is this Murong Xue Murong Chui's son?" Jiang Tian glanced at Princess Qiong Yao.
Princess Qiong Yao nodded repeatedly.
"Now that his son is in my hands, I'm going to squeeze him for a good amount of money."
“Chop off two of Murong Xue’s fingers and send them to his father, and make him give me five million taels of silver first.”
Dian Wei nodded.
He swung his iron halberd, and with a whoosh, it struck.
He chopped off half of Murong Xue's hand.
Dian Wei scratched his head: "Sorry, my lord, I went a little too far."
"Not too heavy, not too heavy, just right."
"Pick up this half of the hand, put it in a wooden box, and have the Embroidered Uniform Guard deliver it."
"promise……"
"Alright, I've finished my business." Jiang Tian stood up and walked out.
Empress Dowager Xiao quickly chased after them.
"Thank you for your help, sir. Otherwise, my daughter and I would have surely died here today."
"What kind of infiltration has this palace undergone?" Jiang Tian came back to his senses and glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao. "I heard you slept with Murong Chui?"
Empress Dowager Xiao blushed immediately, and the woman nodded.
"They slept with you for a reason. I bet they already planted these wolf guards in your palace while they were sleeping with you."
"Alright, quickly have the Imperial Guard thoroughly investigate all of you from top to bottom."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The eunuchs and palace maids hurried in.
They wiped the bloodstains off the floor.
The Imperial Guards dragged out all those who had been killed by the Wolf Guards.
Empress Dowager Xiao let out a long sigh.
Princess Qiong Yao wiped away her tears: "Mother, I know I was wrong. Murong Xue's words were more beautiful than his singing, but everything he said was a lie."
"Mother, from now on I will obey your orders. I will never dare to be careless again..."
Empress Dowager Xiao: "Daughter, what do you think of Jiang Tian? Did your mother lie to you?"
"Tall, imposing, and exceptionally capable, I never imagined that Murong Xue would be nothing compared to him." Princess Qiong Yao was extremely disappointed with Murong Xue's performance.
Every woman wants to marry a strong man.
But Murong Xue's teeth were scattered all over the ground.
Xiang Yu knocked Murong Xue unconscious with two slaps.
In Princess Qiong Yao's eyes, Murong Xue was nothing more than a pretty face with no substance.
"If you don't see Murong Xue, the Empress Dowager will betroth you to Jiang Tian, even if you are just one of his concubines. Maybe he will agree."
But that's not possible now.
Empress Dowager Xiao let out another long sigh.
"Why? Mother, nothing has ever happened between Murong Xue and me. We haven't even held hands."
Jiang Tian won't look down on me.
"You can tell from Jiang Tian's eyes that he's not interested in you at all. He didn't even glance at you just now."
"Do you think Jiang Tian's Imperial Guards are all incompetent fools? If the Wolf Guards could infiltrate the palace, why can't the Imperial Guards?"
"The reason Jiang Tian was able to appear in your palace so quickly must be because the Embroidered Uniform Guard informed him of this matter."
"So, Jiang Tian knew about your secret dates with Murong Xue?"
Princess Qiongyao froze for a moment, and after a long pause, she managed to utter a few words: "Mother, please go and persuade Jiang Tian. If Jiang Tian agrees to let me serve him, I will do my duty without hesitation."
Even if Jiang Tian doesn't agree to his daughter's request, his heart is already dead.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
…………
The Imperial Palace of the Khitan, the Study Room.
Jiang Tian sat there with a plate of watermelon and a plate of grapes in front of him.
"Your Majesty," Empress Dowager Xiao said with a forced smile.
"Just say what you have to say?"
"My lord, you saw my daughter, Princess Qiong Yao, today, didn't you?"
Jiang Tian nodded.
"My lord, I am not boasting, but my daughter is naturally beautiful, with a face that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and a beauty that could shame the moon and put flowers to shame. Moreover, my daughter is well-educated and virtuous, and skilled in needlework..."
"Just tell me what you want to do."
"My lord, I wish to offer my daughter to you so that she may serve you. I wonder if you would find it objectionable."
"Can."
When Empress Xiao heard this, she almost thought she had misheard, and she rubbed her ears.
How old is your son?
Six years old.
“Send your son and daughter here, and I will take them back to the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Empress Dowager Xiao felt a wave of dizziness upon hearing Jiang Tian's words.
