Chapter 632 The resentment in my heart is as big as the sky
"Khan, Su Jiuni and his party have arrived in Shuofang City!"
"Khan, Su Jiuni and his party have arrived at Zhijiu City!"
“…We have arrived at Sulu City!”
“…”
"Report! Your Majesty! I have failed in my duty. Su Jiuni and his group have suddenly disappeared outside the capital!"
From the bitter snowy winter to the revival of all things and the greening of the earth, the whereabouts of Su Jiuni and others were constantly reported to the royal city, and the ministers' concerns continued to deepen.
Every time there was news, Su Jiuni and the others were getting closer to the royal capital.
A nationwide wanted notice was issued, and with so many manpower and obstacles deployed, they still failed to stop the enemy.
The deep panic brought about by the approaching powerful enemy was something they had never experienced even when they were at war with other countries many years ago.
The other side only had six people.
"Khan, Su Jiuni and the others are full of tricks and schemes, and ordinary methods are simply unable to counter them. I am afraid that the six of them have already sneaked into the royal city. We can no longer respond passively, otherwise the Khan will be the most dangerous!"
The ministers gathered in the council hall to ask to see the Khan and offer their suggestions.
"We, the Xiongnu, are a great nation. Our national strength intimidates the surrounding states, forcing all the surrounding tribes to submit. Now, we are cowering because of six people from the Central Plains. Our neighbors are already mocking us Xiongnu as paper tigers! How can we tolerate this?"
"We conquer the world on horseback, how could we fear death? If we were afraid of death, we would never conquer the world! I suggest you kill them! The scar on your head will only be the size of a bowl! Khan, please issue an order to declare war!"
"Not only must we issue a decree of war, but we must also ask the Emperor of Dai Viet before the entire world what his true intentions are in allowing Princess Mingyue to parade her might on Xiongnu territory! For so many years, the Central Plains and the outside world have lived in harmony, each in their own corner. Does he intend to break these rules? How can this move win the hearts of the people?"
"Su Jiuni isn't the only one posing a threat. For years, the remnants of the Shuangdi clan have been secretly plotting rebellion, their rebellious spirit undying. Ever since Shuangdi escaped from Yicheng, they've found a leader, and their power has rapidly grown. By early March, they were already declaring their intention to reclaim the throne and restore order! Now the Xiongnu are facing both external and internal troubles!"
"Lord Qiulin is absolutely right, Khan. We can no longer sit here and wait for death!"
"Please let the Khan decide!"
"Please let the Khan decide!"
Chi Le sat on the throne, and the shouts of the ministers below shook the caisson in the hall.
He only listened to the ministers' words and knew that they were all thinking about him. How could he not know what each of them was actually thinking behind the scenes?
He deliberately forced Su Jiuni and others to go to Yicheng. He originally planned that those who were immune to poison would definitely cause trouble in Yicheng. In this way, as the situation developed, these people could become a quick knife to weaken the power of the nobles.
However, he did not expect that there would be trouble, but it was completely beyond his expectations. Before Su Jiuni could become his sharp knife, she slashed him first and rescued the twins!
The powerful people in the capital were already aware of his secret plans, and they took advantage of the situation to make it difficult for him to back down!
Chi Le looked coldly at the ministers who were bowing and shouting below, with sinister anger surging in his eyes. It was still unknown whether Su Jiuni had sneaked into the royal capital, but the secret war between him and the nobles had already begun!
"My dear ministers, what you said makes sense. But I cannot continue to sit and wait for death. I wanted to treat them with courtesy, but they did not appreciate it and kept pressing forward. Since this is the case, I, the Xiongnu, will never retreat a single step!" Chi Le spoke in a cold voice, his sharp eyes slowly sweeping across the crowd below. The king's aura was shocking. "You are all the pillars of my Xiongnu nation. Your patriotism comforts me greatly. Facing a stubborn enemy, I and you swear to advance and retreat together until death!
Lord Qiulin, you are in charge of half of the city guards in the royal capital. I order you to lead your men to strictly guard the western area of the city. Once you find Su Jiuni and others, you must strike without mercy!
King Hu Yan, you have 20,000 elite cavalry in your hands. I order you to lead them to strictly guard the east district of the city and ensure the safety of all the noble families in the east district and the surrounding people!
Lord Lan, the Lan tribe boasts numerous strong warriors, all skilled in battle. I command you to lead your best troops to defend the capital's main gate! Arrest anyone suspicious!
Lord Xubu, mobilize your spies and make sure to find out the whereabouts of Su Jiuni and the Shuangdi clan as soon as possible, and cooperate with the other lords!
"Fighting the enemy is like playing chess; one wrong move can lead to a complete loss. I place great hopes on you all, and if you make a mistake, I will not forgive you!"
The ministers obeyed the order, "We will obey the king's order!"
While the Xiongnu king and the nobles were secretly plotting against each other with their own ulterior motives, Tianbao was already wandering around the royal capital with his swagger.
There is always a lazy young man around me, smiling and clingy.
The capital of the Xiongnu was bustling and prosperous.
The buildings on the streets are completely different from those in Middle-earth, but the grandeur of the royal capital is no less than any other imperial city.
Wooden buildings are lined up one after another, vendors are shouting in the streets and alleys, selling a wide variety of goods, and there is a constant stream of passers-by.
"Finally, I can have some peace and quiet," the young man said, dressed in Xiongnu attire to suit the local customs. As he clung to the woman, even his tone of voice was clingy. "I should have come to the capital sooner so I could be alone with you sooner."
Tianbao turned her head to look, and the young man took the opportunity to flirt with her, which was both presumptuous and seductive.
Tian Bao's lips curled up, and she quickly pinched the young man's chin, "Jiao."
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then a low laugh burst out of his mouth, light and happy.
He openly took Tianbao's hand and went to the gold and jade shop on the street. "While no one is disturbing you, please treat me well. Think about how long it has been since you spent time with me? Every time I go out to do something, I act like a little follower. Su Tianbao, I'm telling you seriously, the resentment in my heart is as big as the sky. Buy me some gold, silver and jewelry to comfort me."
The customs of the Xiongnu people are much more open than those in the Central Plains. It is common to see men and women being intimate side by side on the streets. Therefore, Bai Yu did not feel it was blasphemous to hold Tianbao's hand in public.
Despite this, after taking a few steps, he deliberately asked with a smile, "Are you used to it?"
Tian Bao knew what he meant by this, and held his hand with her backhand, with a faint smile on her lips, "I never care about other people's eyes, you know."
Bai Yu's peach blossom eyes became more pronounced, and he held the woman's hand without loosening his grip, but a stronger tenderness was conveyed from his palm.
He knew that Tianbao never cared about the outside world's opinion, and he didn't care either.
However, there are many rules for women's words and deeds in the Central Plains, and he has never been so unrestrained when traveling outside.
Because he doesn't like others talking about Tianbao, criticizing and looking down on Tianbao, even behind his back.
Unable to control other people's mouths, he controlled his own hands and feet.
The young master of the Bai family, the Ghost Emperor of the Killing Palace, the Prince of Xiling... He has many identities, each of which is prominent, but no matter what his identity is, next to Tianbao, he is just Bai Yu.
Bai Yu, who loves her passionately, extremely, yet carefully restrained.
"Sweetie." He shook their joined hands.
Tian Bao looked forward, the smile on his lips unconsciously deepening, "Yeah."
"Sweet baby."
"Um."
"Jiu'er."
He called out again and again, as if he never got tired of playing, and his tone was full of joy and happiness.
If it weren't for this, the emotions accumulated in my heart would overflow.
He was really happy that they had this time alone together.
Tianbao tilted her head to look at the young man's profile, then suddenly moved closer and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
The man's sticky calls finally died down. He lowered his eyes, and his smiling eyes were filled with blooming attachment.
