Last night, Babu's good deed was ruined by Jing Zhe, and he dreams of having Huyan Lie kill him.
However, as a general of the Western Frontier, he could not only satisfy his own desires. He always felt that Jing Zhe had a complicated relationship with the major sects of Anguo, so he still had to remind Hu Yanlie in time.
Otherwise, if something unnecessary were to happen, Huyan Lie would still blame him.
To everyone's surprise, Huyan Lie was not afraid after hearing this; instead, he sneered repeatedly.
"Hehe, what did I think it was? Oh, so that's what it is!"
Hu Yanlie squinted at Jing Zhe and explained to Babu, "What he said is true. He does have very close ties with the other major sects in Anguo because his older sisters are in those sects!"
All this information was provided to Huyan Lie by the Prince of Jin, and he believed it without a doubt, so he continued, "Moreover, his sisters are not his biological sisters. They might take care of him in Anguo, but they would not go so far as to become enemies with our Western Frontier Kingdom for the sake of a brother who is not their own, would they?"
When Babu heard that this was the case, he was overjoyed as well.
"Your Majesty is wise! This humble general was almost fooled by this brat. I spoke very kindly to him yesterday, but little did I know he was just a fox borrowing the tiger's power!"
Huyan Lie nodded, deliberately raising his voice: "It's only because the Prince of Jin said he'd spare his life and keep him for other uses. Otherwise, for daring to speak to me like that, I would have chopped him down with one stroke!"
He said it on purpose to Jing Zhe, just to scare him.
After speaking, Hu Yanlie noticed Jing Zhe's expression and found that not only was he not afraid, but he also had a faint smile on his face, which made Hu Yanlie feel very uncomfortable.
"Take him out. I need to have a proper discussion with the Queen about future cooperation between our two countries!"
Hu Yanlie's expression softened only when Murong Xi was mentioned, and a lewd smile reappeared on his face.
Babu understood, glanced at Murong Xi with envy in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, shall we all go out?"
"No need. It would be much better if you all stayed and watched while we discussed such an important matter with Empress Yueyao, hahaha!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Babu was surprised that Huyan Lie would be so "generous"—was he planning to let them watch it for themselves? At this moment, he couldn't wait to kick Jing Zhe out so he could watch Huyan Lie's live show.
So he walked over to Jing Zhe and said impatiently.
"Young Master Jing, please!"
Jing Zhe didn't move, looking at Huyan Lie: "Your Majesty, I want to confirm with you one more time, are you not going to talk anymore?"
"I'll talk your mother! Can't you understand human language? Get out of here!"
Upon hearing Hu Yanlie's words, Babu immediately became impolite and reached out to grab Jing Zhe, but Jing Zhe dodged him.
"Don't touch me, I can walk by myself!"
"Hehe, that's even better!"
Babu crossed his arms and sneered.
The tent was very large. Jing Zhe walked more than twenty steps before arriving at the tent entrance. He lifted the door and looked outside. The heavy cavalry regiment's cavalrymen were guarding the perimeter in a very orderly manner, about two hundred meters away from the tent. Moreover, the cold wind was howling and whistling outside the door.
If something were to happen inside the main tent, the cavalrymen on the outside would certainly not be able to hear it.
Of course, it can't be said that Huyan Lie or Babu were careless, because they never expected that Jing Zhe knew martial arts.
...
After observing the situation, Jing Zhe withdrew his head.
Then he started tying the door straps one by one, using a lot of force, and each one was tightly fastened, so it wouldn't be able to be untied in a short time.
"what you do?"
Babu was the first to be stunned. He had thought that Jing Zhe was scared and wanted to leave, but he never expected that after peeking out, he would come back in so quickly and even tie the door shut.
"I'm planning to discuss some cooperation with Your Majesty."
"Are you deaf or stupid? How many times have I told you? I'm not talking to you!"
Hu Yanlie slammed his fist on the table in front of him angrily and stood up.
"Oh~"
Jing Zhe nodded slightly, his gaze calm: "If you won't talk, then let's talk to another king!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the tent fell silent instantly.
Once everyone realized the meaning behind Jing Zhe's words, Babu was the first to jump out.
"You bastard, how dare you curse our king! You're asking for death!"
As he spoke, Babu took a step forward, as if he could rush to Jing Zhe's side and teach him a lesson in an instant. The other two half-generals and six thousand-generals also stood up, glaring at him menacingly.
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, Huyan Lie said calmly, "Sit down, everyone."
As he spoke, he stood up and slowly drew the long sword from its sheath.
Whether it was Babu or the other half-generals and thousand-generals, their brows relaxed and their expressions softened upon seeing this scene, and they indeed sat down.
In their view, the highest level of cultivation in the entire tent belonged to their king, and all of them combined might not be his match. This was why they had so many soldiers under their command yet remained so loyal to Huyan Lie.
After all, they only admire the strong.
Huyan Lie's broadsword has been unused for a long time. As soon as he draws his sword, blood will inevitably be drawn. This guy is in trouble!
Thinking this, a cold smile crept across Babu's lips.
"Since you know that it was Prince Jin who ordered me to arrest you, you must also know that he only said that he wanted you alive."
Huyan Lie had already drawn his broadsword completely, casually tossing the scabbard on the ground, and walked over carrying only the sword.
"So I won't kill you, but breaking your legs and arms is no problem."
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Huyan Lie's eyes.
He had expected Jing Zhe to be scared, but to his surprise, Jing Zhe remained calm and composed, as if... he wasn't afraid of him at all.
This infuriated Huyan Lie, who shouted "You're asking for death!" and charged forward with his sword, swinging it through the air to slash at Huyan Lie's arm.
If that knife were to strike, Jing Zhe's arm would be gone.
Babu and his friends sat there like they were watching a play, their faces full of excitement.
...
Although she knew that Jing Zhe was highly skilled in martial arts, and that even Chu Xia was no match for him, Hu Yanlie would certainly be no match for him, for some reason, her heart was clenched with worry.
He held his hands tightly, extremely nervous, repeatedly telling himself not to get hurt. But then he suddenly froze.
Why wasn't she this nervous when Chu Xia fought Jing Zhe, but she became like this when it was her turn?
"It must be... he's always been thinking of me," Murong Xi thought to herself.
At this moment, Huyan Lie's broadsword was already poised in mid-air, and then he slashed at Jing Zhe's arm!
Jing Zhe remained motionless, like a puppet.
No one was surprised. It's normal for someone who doesn't know martial arts to be terrified in this situation!
But what happened next left them completely stunned!
