Chen Xin whispered, "You are somewhat confident in taking him out alone."
Wei Xian replied calmly, "100%."
"Then, I'll count to three, and we'll do it," Shen Xin said. As soon as he counted to one, Wei Xian rushed out first, as expected. Shen Xin shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I knew it."
After figuring out the man's movements, Wei Xian took advantage of the man's absence to attack from behind, covering his mouth tightly. He warned him, "Hush, keep your voice down, or I don't know if your thin neck will suddenly break in two in my hands."
"......!" Sensing that the newcomers weren't joking, the man immediately stopped struggling and allowed himself to be taken away. Of course, he wasn't a fool; when he was taken away, he'd left a clue for his companions. However, the clue was quickly cleared away by Chen Xin.
Chen Xin gave Wei Xian a wink, and the moment they crossed, the person in Wei Xian's hand suddenly appeared above Chen Xin. In the dark night, the Qilin mask faded and quietly disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Chen Xin casually glanced at the intersection of the mask on the man in his hand. Seeing this mysterious man who dared not reveal his true face, Chen Xin had a rough idea of his identity. Chen Xin clamped the man with one hand and took out the dagger from his waist with the other. He tapped the man's face with the cold tip of the blade and said mockingly, "I really didn't expect that Hudu Khan would personally come to Jingji City and send such a treasure to Liang State. I just don't know where the Khan got this cannon?"
The person being held hostage by Chen Xin remained calm when he heard the familiar voice: "I don't understand what you are saying. Let me go quickly, or my brothers will never let you go!"
After Chen Xin led Hu Du deeper into the woods, he chuckled and put away the dagger in his hand, replacing it with the poison-infused hidden blade. "Haha, Khan may have forgotten that Chen Xin's disguise skills are quite famous in the martial arts world. It's not difficult for him to find the flaws."
Hu Du was slightly stunned. He already knew what kind of person Shen Xin was when he came to Liang State to sign the alliance last time. Since he already had a clear answer to his identity in his heart, it would be a waste of time to beat around the bush with him. "I just came to Daliang to inquire about the news. Lord Shen is a little too nervous."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Of course I'm not nervous, but the residents of the city are. I finally managed to relocate those who suddenly lost their homes this afternoon, but I feel that the person who caused me trouble for no reason deserves an explanation."
Although the previous covenant was merely a scroll of paper, if it were brought to light by the people of Qingliang Valley, it would have a significant impact on Beimo's reputation. While Beimo's reputation pales in comparison to the lucrative Liang Kingdom, Shangguan Bing'er was pregnant, and she couldn't be made aware of it, lest it harm her and the child. Therefore, he couldn't easily trick him into revealing the artillery attack on the city.
"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Shen. I have an alliance with your country. If Lord Shen needs any help, please tell me directly. There is no need to come to me in person."
Chen Xin observed the surroundings intently while continuing to mediate with Hu Du: "Khan, are you truly confused or are you just pretending to be confused? I don't care about anything else; as long as you can tell me where the artillery in this camp came from, it will be fine. Once I know the origin of this treasure, I will naturally leave."
If Hu didn't tell him about the origins of the cannon, Chen Xin probably wouldn't be able to guess it in his lifetime. So, let him guess. With the cannon in hand, Liang State would sooner or later be his Beimo's possession. Then, the people of Beimo, who lived by the grass and water, would no longer be trapped by the land. Shangguan Bing'er wouldn't have to be depressed all day long because she was far away from her homeland. "Chen Xin, do you think I came to Liang State unprepared? If my life is threatened, it's you, Daliang, who will suffer."
When Chen Xin came here, he was thinking, if this group of people are from Tianshu Tower or others disguised as Beimo people, then he should kill them on the spot. If they are really Beimo people, then Hudu is most likely among them. He will definitely not admit what he did. In this case, he must pay a price. He can't let him think that Qingliang Valley and Liang State have no one and can be trampled on by others at will. "I know this, so I won't let anyone hurt the Khan casually. But, this is based on the premise that Beimo fulfills its promise according to the agreement."
Hu Du couldn't help but get angry when he heard Chen Xin's blunt way of speaking: "Humph, you are just a dog under Wang Yanzhou. You really think you are a dragon among men and dare to negotiate with me."
Chen Xin smiled and said that, to put it nicely, he was indeed a loyal dog under Wang Yanzhou. He did not consider himself a dragon among men, but he still cherished and was confident in everything he had learned since childhood and had ingrained in him: "It seems that Hudu Khan does not know me well enough. If I can capture you from the camp today, I can also make you die quietly in the Beimo camp tomorrow."
Hu Du heard that Shen Xin was deliberately provoking him, and gradually calmed down: "I didn't mean to hit Lord Shen. Although his official position is not high, his tone is quite big. In this case, it depends on whether Lord Shen has the ability to do this."
Chen Xin's ears twitched slightly, and after noticing the almost inaudible noise behind him, he continued, "Whether I am capable or not, the Khan will know in due time. However, Chen Xin is not talented enough, so I want to warn the Khan. Now that the Khan is standing on the land of my Liang State, the Qilin Guard will follow you like a ghost. If the Khan violates the previous alliance again, I cannot guarantee that your princess will not die before you."
Hu Du sneered and said, "She's just a woman. When necessary, she's nothing more than a sacrifice. You underestimate me by trying to threaten you with a woman. Since Lord Shen possesses such vast magical powers, you should also know how I, Hu Du, got to this position in the first place."
Chen Xin saw that the time was almost up, and he didn't bother to say anything more. He would let Hu Du remember what happened tonight for the rest of his life. He also wanted to see who could make Hu Du so treacherous, was it Xia Hou Qing, or some rare master in the world?
