Chapter 787 Whoever wants me dead will have a hard time!
Wu Ya remembered what happened in the hall just now, and swung the whip in her hand towards Song Jinxiu. However, this time Song Jinxiu was prepared. When Wu Ya attacked, he took two steps back and narrowly avoided it.
The whip in Wuya's hand fell heavily to the ground, leaving a white mark on the stone steps.
She seemed dissatisfied with his avoidance and was about to strike again, but before she could do anything, Song Jinxiu said coldly, "Princess, you'd better think carefully about whether you really want to attack someone in this royal court."
"Even if I touch you, what can I do?" Wu Ya clutched the whip, her face icy. "You're nothing but a stray dog of the Wei Dynasty, a treacherous and shameless villain. Do you think the Khan will blame me for you?"
Song Jinxiu didn't care at all about her insults: "Princess, how do you know that the Khan can't do it?"
"I am a court official of Beiling, appointed personally by the Khan. Although you are a princess, you are not the master of this royal court, and the world of Beiling is not ruled by the princess's mansion. Even if the Zong Yu tribe can cover the sky with one hand, they cannot bypass the Khan and wantonly beat the ministers."
"you!!"
Wu Ya was furious and was about to attack, but suddenly she heard a low shout.
"Princess Wuya!"
Wu Ya paused, turned her head and looked to the side, and saw someone walking out of the hall quickly. It was the general of the Zongyan tribe whom Hu Yanmin valued the most.
The man walked closer and half blocked Song Jinxiu's way, then said directly to Wu Ya, "The Khan has ordered that Lord Song be summoned to the rear hall for a meeting."
Song Jinxiu chuckled softly, "Looks like I won't be able to get any guidance from the princess anymore?"
Wu Ya felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face. All the words she had just said became a joke. Her face turned pale and blue, and she wanted to tear Song Jinxiu apart. Even the elders of Zong Yu's tribe glared at Song Jinxiu.
Ji Rongqing was relatively calm, but his eyes darkened a little.
"General Qu, could you allow us to have a few words with Lord Song alone?"
The man's face darkened and he was about to refuse, but Ji Rongqing didn't wait for him to speak and turned to look at Song Jinxiu: "Sir Song, you helped me find medicine before, and the princess and I have never thanked you."
Song Jinxiu heard the subtle threat in his words. Seeing the middle-aged general beside him look gloomy, he said, "General Qu, the princess and I have some old grudges that we haven't explained clearly. Please wait a moment, General Qu."
He paused.
"I will go down to see the Khan and explain this matter to him."
When General Qu heard him mention the Khan, he could only frown and say in a rough voice, "Then hurry up!"
Song Jinxiu followed Wu Ya and Ji Rongqing to the side, avoiding the other people in front of the hall and General Qu. Wu Ya couldn't help but lower her voice.
"Song Jinxiu, don't think that just because the Khan is protecting you, this princess can't do anything to you!"
Song Jinxiu said coldly, "Of course I know the princess is powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, I have a way to make you and the people of Zong Yu's tribe suffer a heavy blow before the princess has someone kill me."
Wu Ya was furious: "You!"
Ji Rongqing stretched out his hand to hold Wu Ya down, frowned and said, "Master Song, why are you doing this?"
Song Jinxiu sneered: "What do you think?"
He glanced up and down at Ji Rongqing, who was wrapped in a thick cloak and looked a little sick.
"What did Prince Consort Ji tell me when he came to me that day? And what did you promise me when you asked me to cooperate with you to suppress Xiahou Ling and the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"
"You've taken all the benefits, yet you've turned your back on me. Not only did you not offer me any help in front of the Khan, you even allowed your own people from the Zong Yu tribe to humiliate me. So, Prince Consort Ji is convinced that after I've abandoned the Imperial Preceptor's Office, I can only rely on you?"
Song Jinxiu's words were full of sarcasm.
"I, Song Jinxiu, don't have the only path to follow from your Princess Mansion. Don't forget that it was you who came to beg me for cooperation that day."
"The princess and her husband are both powerful and influential. I'm certainly not as good as them, but compared to the two nobles, someone like me who has nothing is the most willing to take risks."
"I, Song Jinxiu, was betrayed and lost everything. Now, I only have this life left. If anyone wants to take this last thing from me, I will never let him off even if I have to die together with him."
"Ji Rongqing, Prince Consort Ji, you should know."
He is no longer the stupid Song family member, and he will not put his future and life in the hands of others.
He was blind to be betrayed by his best friend at that time.
But now, never again!
Ji Rongqing heard the hidden meaning in Song Jinxiu's words and was silent for a moment: "I don't mean that..."
"I don't care whether you have it or not." Song Jinxiu interrupted Ji Rongqing directly: "If the Princess Mansion wants to cooperate sincerely, then show your sincerity, otherwise everything you said that day will be invalid."
"Although I can't do anything to you, I guarantee that no one from Sanqina or Zong Yu will ever become the head coach."
After Song Jinxiu finished speaking, he ignored them and turned around and walked towards General Qu, who was already a little impatient.
"General Qu, let's go. Don't keep the Khan waiting."
General Naqu frowned, glanced at Ji Rongqing and the others, then turned around and led Song Jinxiu away.
After they left, Wu Ya's face turned ashen with anger.
The elders of the Zong Yu tribe were also breathing rapidly, and one of them was gritting his teeth.
"This Wei guy surnamed Song is simply asking for his own death. If I had known he would enter the royal court, I should have killed him!"
…
What happened in the royal court could not be hidden from outsiders. Although Xiahou Ling was confined to the palace, he soon learned that the elders of various tribes and Ji Rongqing and others had joined forces to force the Khan in the court meeting.
"The Khan was forced by the Princess's House to severely punish you. Not only did he order the Imperial Master's Seal to be taken away, he also promised in front of all the elders that from now on, you will not be allowed to interfere in military affairs."
Xiahou Ling listened to the reply from the person in front of him, his uninjured eyes filled with viciousness, and the teacup in his hand fell heavily on the table.
The man bent his body even deeper, lowered his head, and dared not breathe.
"What else?"
After a while, Xiahou Ling spoke again.
The man quickly said, "Even after the Khan promised to severely punish you, the people from the Princess's Mansion and the Zong Yu tribe still refused to give up, forcing the Khan to immediately choose a new commander. They instigated other tribes and wanted to decide by anonymous voting, but the Khan refused..."
He whispered everything that happened in the court meeting without missing a single detail.
Xiahou Ling lowered his eyes and listened, the expression on his face changing with his words.
After a long while, when the man had finished speaking, Xiahou Ling finally said, "So it was that ungrateful bastard Song Jinxiu who ruined Wu Ya and the others' plans?"
"yes."
"And then?"
The servant whispered, "Later, the Khan summoned Song Jinxiu alone. Princess Wuya and several elders from the Zongyu tribe had extremely grim expressions when they left the royal court."
"Someone close to the Khan just sent a message saying that the Khan had a private conversation with Song Jinxiu. When he called someone in, the Khan's expression was gone, and he even gave Song Jinxiu a special reward."
