The reason for war may not be as simple as Ye Hongxue thought.
For example, Wanyan Ada now, when he fled back to the border of Beidan Kingdom, he immediately ordered his people to send troops! However, he is a prince, and it is impossible for him to send troops without the order of his father Khan!
They needed to report first, and only after the Northern Dan Khan issued an order could they send out their troops! Their capital of Northern Dan was only a little over a thousand miles away from the border, so if they rode quickly, it wouldn't take long.
But Wanyan Ada felt that he couldn't wait any longer: "At this moment, the Nangou haven't reacted yet. Why not kill them by surprise and take back the food?"
Commander Yelu Qi: "They dared to attack, which means they have been well prepared and are fearless, waiting for us to take action! At this critical juncture, we need the Khan to issue an order! Otherwise, neither you nor I can bear this responsibility!"
"Yelüqi, are you deliberately going against me?"
"Someone, come here! Prince Ada has returned from his diplomatic mission and must be exhausted from the journey..."
"What about my brother? He has to be saved, right?"
"Of course, as soon as the Khan's order arrives..." Then save them! Anyway, the Khan has no shortage of sons. Although you were his most precious sons before, will the Khan still love you after you have done things like this this time?
In Yeluqi's opinion, there was no need to make the relationship with Jingguo so tense. Wouldn't it be enough to just collect half of the annual tribute? But you, in such a situation, actually provoked Baili Tang... You're like pulling out the tiger's whiskers in his own home!
More than five thousand carefully trained warriors and more than a dozen ministers were wiped out by you two ignorant brothers!
Do you, Wanyan Ada, still have the nerve to give orders to Yelu Qi?
Oh, Ye Hongxue only killed nearly two thousand warriors, and the remaining three thousand were naturally killed by her master... Her master did not do it himself, but handed it over to the people of the nearby Jing Kingdom and let them deal with it themselves!
There is only one result - death!
In short, whether this war will be fought depends on the intention of the Khan of Beidan! At least that's the case for now! And Baili Tang has made his attitude clear!
Baili Tang was in high spirits after receiving the good news, and planned to go for a run in the Imperial Garden. After returning to the palace, he wanted to exercise and lose weight, but it was not so convenient. Apart from sleeping, he had almost no free time.
After running a few miles along the path of the Imperial Garden, Baili Tang heard the cry of a little girl. Out of curiosity, he ran over to see.
It was because of his curiosity that he was almost harmed!
Curiosity killed the cat!!
The crying little girl was none other than the second princess, the little witch in the palace.
After all, she was his adopted daughter, so Baili Tang couldn't pretend not to see it: "Little sister, why are you crying so hard? Who bullied you?"
"Father... Father... It's Mother..." Baili Keying sobbed while wiping her tears. Her little face was still a little red and swollen. She must have been slapped!
"Oh? Why did Mother hit you? Did you do something wrong?"
"I... I smashed my mother's beloved jewelry..."
"How careless! Come on, let your father take you back. You should admit your mistake to your mother and ask her to forgive you, okay?"
"good!"
Baili Tang reached out, took Baili Keying's hand, and walked towards Concubine Lin's bedroom.
Just like that, Baili Tang almost died!
Because when he arrived at Concubine Lin's place, Concubine Lin had already brewed a pot of colorless and tasteless poisonous tea, waiting for him to drink it!
There was one thing that Baili Tang had not expected - how could a five-year-old girl easily get Concubine Lin's beloved jewelry and break it?
It is obvious that Concubine Lin did it on purpose so that she could have an excuse to slap her daughter!
As long as Baili Tang meets Baili Keying and sends her back, she can pour him a cup of tea... She can't refuse, right?
Everything went smoothly and just as Concubine Lin had planned, Baili Tang showed up as expected.
Anyway, she and Baili Tang were only husband and wife. As for love? Neither of them had ever loved the other! It was just hypocrisy! She had long understood Baili Tang. Why did he choose her back then? She had many sisters, many more outstanding than her...
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Concubine Lin bowed to Baili Tang.
"No need to be polite! I was just running in the Imperial Garden when I saw the little girl crying, so I brought her back. Little girl, quickly apologize to your mother!"
"I'm sorry, mother. Ying'er didn't mean to break your jewelry! Ying'er knows she was wrong!"
"Good boy! Mother was also angry just now... Does it still hurt?" Concubine Lin's acting skills were really superb. Tears immediately fell down, and she squatted down and gently rubbed Baili Keying's little face.
Baili Tang was almost moved by this scene of deep love between mother and daughter!
After a while, Concubine Lin wiped the tears from her face. Seeing Baili Tang sweating profusely, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, "It's all my fault for not serving you well. Your Majesty, are you thirsty? I'll ask someone to make a pot of fresh tea."
"Don't bother. New tea is too hot. The existing tea will be fine..."
"Ying'er, quickly pour father a cup of tea!"
"Yeah!" Baili Keying nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
In fact, Baili Keying also liked Baili Tang very much. She had wanted to go to Jingyang Palace to listen to her father tell the story of "The Ugly Duckling" countless times, but her mother had not allowed it. Now she could pour tea for her father, she was so happy!
The table was a bit high, so she had to stand on tiptoe... Seeing this, Concubine Lin poured her a cup of tea and let her give it to Baili Tang!
What a vicious woman! She wants to use her daughter to poison Baili Tang!
From beginning to end, Concubine Lin's face and eyes did not show any strange expression! It was as if the man who was about to be poisoned to death had nothing to do with her!
Baili Keying couldn't possibly know that the cup of tea in her hand contained a deadly poison! She only saw her father happily accept it! He was looking at her father happily while drinking her tea!
Baili Tang was also very cautious. He didn't drink it immediately, but sniffed it first. He believed that the poisons in the palace usually had a pungent smell... After all, how advanced could the ancients' chemical technology be?
He could only smell the tea's fragrance, and the tea was still warm...it must have been brewed for some time. If it was freshly brewed tea, hot, he wouldn't dare drink it. This meant that Concubine Lin had anticipated his arrival...
Besides, Concubine Lin wouldn't dare to want to poison him so blatantly, right? She even asked her daughter to serve him tea...
Baili Tang put the teacup to his lips and was about to drink it when he looked up at the expression on Concubine Lin's face - I am very afraid of death!
Unfortunately, this woman was too good at pretending—her expression remained the same as it had been a second ago, without any change, and she looked gentle and kind...
Little did they know that Concubine Lin was cursing viciously in her heart: Dog emperor, drink!
What are you hesitating about?
Drink! Drink quickly!!
If you drink it, it's all over!
