"He's just a prince, how could he possibly master a weapon like a crossbow?
Even if there is, it must belong to the imperial court.
Our barbarian army can't even use it, and a mere merchant caravan can't even be equipped with such weapons.
Isn’t this too outrageous?”
The barbarian king looked incredulous.
Logically speaking, the most powerful weapons must be controlled by the imperial army and cannot fall into the hands of individuals.
"You don't know this, but from what we know, this prince is very extraordinary.
He used to be devoted to business and had a very bad reputation.
But now it seems that it was all pretended so as not to attract attention.
What he did was very rude.
He made a lot of money through business and supported a large number of craftsmen.
Even the crossbows used by Dayuan's most elite troops seemed to have been provided by him.
This person must not be underestimated, and we must use all means to kill him.
Otherwise, you will definitely become a great enemy of the barbarians.
There's even a chance he might be an enemy of Yunlu Pavilion."
The Great Elder said with a very serious expression.
The Barbarian King opened his mouth in shock, unable to believe that even the Grand Elder of Yunlu Pavilion had given such a high evaluation.
"It's just a cover. Wouldn't it be easy for Yunlu Pavilion to deal with him?
Is it necessary to treat him as a great enemy?"
The Great Elder shook his head slightly and said, "If it were in the past, it wouldn't be difficult to assassinate him when he wasn't showing off.
But as he became more and more valued by the emperor.
There are many more people protecting me.
These people are all top masters and have escaped assassination attempts many times.
We even got the news.
The Great Source Martial Saint seemed to be closely protecting his safety.
Otherwise, I would not have come into contact with your power."
"What? Dayuan Wusheng, he's a master-level expert.
Isn't he protecting the Emperor Dayuan? How could he possibly protect a prince?"
The barbarian king was completely shocked.
I can't believe it.
There is nothing in the world more important than the life of Emperor Dayuan.
If people knew that the only master had left the capital.
I'm afraid it will lead to assassination by the enemy country.
The Great Elder said with emotion: "Now you know why we must get rid of Li Ye at all costs.
There must be a reason why Dayuan values him so much."
The barbarian king remained silent.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "It may not be that easy for us to kill him.
Unless the Dayuan Dynasty is completely defeated.
Even if we can't kill him, we can make sure he has nowhere to escape."
"Don't worry about this, Yunlu Pavilion will provide you with assistance.
When the next war breaks out, as long as he comes to the front line, I will give you the opportunity to take action.
Even if he had more experts around him, they would not be able to protect his life against tens of thousands of cavalrymen."
The Great Elder said.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem!" The barbarian king agreed without hesitation.
As long as there is no threat to them and it does not require too much cost, they are willing to take action.
"Then it's settled! But since someone has escaped, I guess the news will reach Dayuan soon.
We must quickly send a message to your envoys so they can prepare for the attack. They must not admit that their caravan was attacked by the army."
"I understand! But Yunlu Pavilion promised to help us provide goods, so please don't break your promise."
"Don't worry, since this is what we promised, we will definitely do it.
The third prince and the crown prince are cooperating with us.
Even the border guards have their people.
It’s easy to get the goods shipped over.”
The Great Elder Shi Yu said confidently.
They have used Huawei as a temptation to keep the third prince and the crown prince firmly in their grasp.
Moreover, in order to earn money and expand their power, the two of them did not care about the interests of Dayuan at all.
As long as I can make money, I'm willing to do anything.
Next, the barbarians sent a large number of troops to search the grassland, and captured all the caravans that entered the grassland.
Since the relationship has already been torn apart, we must not let any caravan go.
The caravan members who escaped rode their horses at full speed, without stopping all the way back to the border city.
Enter the city and quickly find the guards and tell them what happened.
"General, the barbarian army looted our caravan, and many people didn't have time to escape and stayed behind to cover their retreat.
Please send someone to rescue them immediately.
If it’s too late, it might be too late!”
The defending generals were extremely shocked when they heard this.
His face was gloomy and uncertain.
Not long ago, their city was besieged by the barbarian coalition, and they were already frightened.
Fortunately, the enemy only threatened to surround the city and did not attack it.
Later we learned that the enemy's purpose was to attack the craftsmen who were building the road.
However, they were repelled by Prince Yu and his men.
Although they were relieved after winning the battle, the defending generals knew how powerful the barbarian army was.
The Dayuan cavalry is far inferior to the enemy, and entering the grassland would be tantamount to an invasion.
Once discovered by the enemy, there would be no chance of escape.
But this caravan belongs to the prince, and it would be unreasonable not to help.
You know, Prince Xu is now a big shot in front of the emperor.
Most favored.
If I don't help, won't I offend Prince Yu?
After much thought, I finally found a solution.
"Since the lowest army is not large, I will send a fast cavalry to rescue them.
If we send too many troops, it might attract the attention of the barbarian army, and if they attack, it will be troublesome."
The people in the caravan were extremely anxious. They were very satisfied to hear that someone was willing to help, so they didn't think too much about it.
He quickly said, "Thank you very much, General! We must rescue them.
In addition, please send someone to notify the checkpoints along each route.
Tell the caravan behind to never enter the grassland again.
will be attacked by barbarian armies."
"That's no problem. I'll send someone to inform you right away."
The city quickly dispatched a cavalry of more than 200 people.
Each person rode two horses and rushed over as fast as possible.
These people were all selected elite scouts, and they all rode the best and fastest horses in Dayuan.
Moreover, one person can ride two horses, and can switch to another one when he gets tired on the road.
Even if you encounter barbarian cavalry, you will be confident enough to escape.
Because they are all wearing light leather armor, they are relatively light in weight.
It can make up for the shortage of war horses.
The caravan members were extremely worried and had no time to rest.
Anxiously waiting for news.
The defending general sighed secretly upon seeing this.
In his opinion, there was no chance of survival if he was targeted by barbarian cavalry on the grassland.
He sent people to look for it just to give an explanation to the prince.
Sure enough, more than two hours later, the scout cavalry returned.
All they brought back were the caravan's corpses.
The people present looked at the corpses on the horses, heartbroken and crying bitterly.
The scout leader was also filled with grief: "When we arrived, the enemy had already retreated, leaving only their corpses behind.
Now that things have come to this, please accept my condolences!
Under these circumstances, it is better not to go into the grasslands to do business.”
