When Haodu was in power, Yingji and the others didn't have to worry about this. Haodu had to offer a lot of benefits to win them over. Now, Hudu is trying to drag them into the fire pit as well. "That's right, so we must be vigilant at all times."
Although Yingji said to be vigilant, he only did so much. He felt that he hadn't investigated anything further. The young leader also reminded him, "But then again, the decision to cooperate with Tianshu Tower wasn't made by him alone. If we intend to overthrow him, we have to communicate with those leaders beforehand."
The tall leader said angrily, "What's the point of talking about this? They pushed the tiger up here, didn't they? Asking them to cooperate with us is just saying they're wrong. From what I know about them, I'd rather swallow my anger than lose face in front of others."
The tall leader's concerns were not without reason, but the tribe didn't belong to just the leader. "They would naturally react this way to a small matter. However, if they knew how detrimental this would be to their tribe, they would have no choice but to do it, no matter how much they feared losing face."
The two leaders thought Yingji's words made some sense, but they were still a little worried: "That's true, but Brother Yingji, we're already here. If we want to gather information and pass it back, it will take too long to go back and forth. We might end up wasting our time."
Ying Ji also nodded in agreement and said, "So, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Anyway, from my current perspective, Bei Mo's defeat is already inevitable."
The tall leader was already in a bad mood, and today's incident with the King's Seal and the fact that Beimo had suffered a defeat had made him even more upset. Seeing that there were no outsiders nearby, he said bluntly, "I don't care about the others. I can't expect to return with no casualties, but I must bring back at least half of them."
To be frank, Yingji had no right to interfere with what the two of them wanted to do. However, he had to remind them that everything should be done in moderation. If they went beyond this limit, something that was originally beneficial to them might become a huge burden and disadvantage. "You guys can handle this on your own. Don't overdo it and give them something to hold against you."
The three of them chatted for a while in the woods. Seeing that it was getting late, they were worried that Hudu would notice what they were discussing behind his back, so they arranged to leave at different times. After wandering around in the woods for a while, they returned to their tents one after another, pretending that the secret meeting had never happened.
Just as they left the tent for a brief meeting, Hu Du had everyone else leave. He sat down on the ground, slumped over, staring at the fake royal seal in his hand with a blank look in his eyes. It was unclear what he was thinking. Perhaps he was reflecting on why, after successfully ascending the throne, everything he did had become somewhat less successful. Perhaps he was regretting his decision to collaborate with Xia Hou Qing in the first place...
After the Tianshu Tower called off the troops, Xiahou Qing didn't go anywhere else. As soon as he returned, he went straight to Yun He's tent. He really didn't expect that if he hadn't noticed something was amiss and paid attention to Yun He's movements, he wouldn't have known that Yun He actually had such a trick up his sleeve.
When Xiahou Qing came, Yunhe had just taken off his armor and was preparing to wash up. As soon as he arrived, he had to put this plan on hold.
After Yun He poured Xia Hou Qing the cold tea he had mixed himself, he said, "The Pavilion Master is not in the tent handling post-war affairs right now. Why did he come to a place like me, a free man?"
Xiahou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Brother Yun brought back some good stuff, didn't he? I was just envious and anxious to see it first."
Yun He was slightly taken aback. Xia Hou Qing didn't think it was troublesome. It was really boring to be with him at that time with someone staring at him. He always felt as if there were no little secrets. "The Pavilion Master is indeed observant and attentive. Yun's little trick couldn't be hidden from the Pavilion Master's eyes."
Xiahou Qing smiled and said, "Brother Yun, you're joking. If I had known that Brother Yun had such magical powers, I wouldn't have to worry about the current situation day and night. I just need Brother Yun to do it."
Xiahou Qing's polite words had already been put here. If Yun He still wanted to refuse at this moment, then Yun He's actions would be criticized by others. "Since the Pavilion Master has said so, then I will not beat around the bush with you. Simply put, since I brought this thing back, it is mine, and only I can control it. At this moment, I really don't want to let the Pavilion Master see this treasure. I hope you won't blame me."
Yun He's refusal didn't anger Xia Hou Qing, but it did make him secretly relieved. Yun He's reluctance to show him the things he had taken from the battlefield confirmed his suspicions to some extent. "Brother Yun, you're being too polite. You just got back and are exhausted. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Once you've rested, we can take a closer look. In that case, I'll be leaving now. The two guards outside, while not as skilled as Linghua Tongshu, are top-notch experts in our Tianshu Tower. If Brother Yun needs anything, just direct them."
Yun He had seen Xia Hou Qing's tactic of retreating to advance before he could. Whether he wanted to show him the thing he had brought back depended on whether that thing would recognize him as its master. "Thank you very much for your consideration, Pavilion Master. However, please forgive me for being so nosy. If Pavilion Master Xia Hou has time to come to my place, why not go to the Beimo camp and see Hu Du Khan? Today's events have had a significant impact on him."
While Tiger City was certainly important, to put it bluntly, if you want to shoot a man, you must shoot his horse first; if you want to capture a thief, you must capture his leader first. As long as Wang Yanzhou is brought out by Yun He, all the current difficulties will be easily resolved. Therefore, now is not the time to break up with Yun He. Since he doesn't want to see me for the time being, I will give him face and not see him. "Of course, sir, have a good rest. We will talk slowly later. Goodbye."
The news that Wang Yanzhou and his men had won and their commander was safe and sound was soon passed back to Qingliang Valley by the Black Crow. Even as the residents of the valley were happily preparing all the celebratory items that would be used when the army returned triumphantly, the atmosphere in the Qingliang Palace was exceptionally solemn.
...Tang Chen didn't know whether it was because of Hua Wuxin or the medicine, but he always felt that he had no energy these days. It is no exaggeration to say that he spent ten of the twelve hours a day lying in bed, feeling extremely weak.
