Chapter 124 Going back (1)
Situ Yuanxiao’s affairs had nothing to do with Zhao Zimu. After everything was done, Zhao Zimu led her men to the place where they had been assigned to.
The war wouldn’t stop because of one person, no matter if that person was a prince or a commoner.
As for whether Chen Jin and the others could find out that this incident was done by Yue Wu depended on their abilities. There were no weak people under her and Lin Qing, but Chen Jin was also not someone easy to deal with. Even if it was discovered, by then, Situ Yuanxiao had already been healed. As long as they don’t admit no matter what, what could Chen Jin do to her?
Moreover, would Chen Jin dare to get involved in this incident? As the saying goes, pulling out a turnip would bring mud on it. Maybe because of his intervention, he would provoke a commotion.
Pulling out a turnip would bring mud on it: arrested a criminal led to the exposure of another crime.Therefore, Zhao Zimu wasn’t worried that Yue Wu would be caught by Chen Jin. Zhao Zimu was now guarding the border between Great Liang and the west to prevent the western foreigners from invading Great Liang when Great Liang was in a war with the Xiongnu.
She summoned Yue Liu and gave him a command. The low voice rang in Yue Liu’s ear. Yue Liu’s expression gradually changed from being stunned to joy and stirred up.
Since Huang Ji wanted them to guard a useless place or perhaps useful place, but was madam someone who could be manipulated at will? While in deep thoughts, Yue Liu went to Yue Wu. He picked up this guy who had been listless these days and rode on a fast horse with dozens of people and set off.
Zhao Zimu looked at the direction they were heading and then turned her gaze to the north as if she already could see the Xiongnu coming from the grassland of the north.
Soon after, Huang Ji who was guarding Dragon City fought a battle with the Xiongnu led by Tata and Tata escaped in defeat.
—
Muke looked fiercely at Tata who was kneeling in front of him and said, “Useless thing! You can’t even capture a mere Dragon City. You are a shame of our people of the grassland!”
Tata was angry, but he used aggrieved and mocking eyes in front of the numerous Xiongnu leaders and said bitterly, “Imperial brother, everyone under me could afford the title of warrior and they are all the eagles of our grassland, but we were only with two thousand men. Can two thousand men capture an extremely well guarded city guarded by more than ten thousand people?”
Muke let Tata take two thousand people to attack the fortified city guarded by Huang Ji with more than ten thousand men. Wasn’t that letting Tata go find his death?
Everyone present knew what their khan wanted to do, but they couldn’t bother with this kind of thing. Old khan left happily, but the son that he had always loved was so miserable after his death. They wondered what his mood would be if he knew after death.
Even if no one spoke up for him, Tata saw a flash of sympathy from these people. Very well, his goal had been achieved.
“Humph, incompetent people will only make excuses for their failures. Although, you are my younger brother, I still can’t pardon you, otherwise, how can I convince the masses?!” Muke said angrily.
Hence, it didn’t take long for Tata to be sent to attack Dragon City for the second time, but this time there was also the leader of a Xiongnu tribe and he was someone who had undying loyalty towards Muke. He had been sent to Tata side was naturally to maximize Tata’s ‘value’.
Seeing the man who followed him, Tata’s heart sank. Muke’s trusted aid was now following him. Would he still be able to conserve his power?
Tata couldn’t help but think about the person who had come to see him that night. He had already delayed as much as he (ZZ) wanted once, but could he (ZZ) really help him?
Tata didn’t know and the God of Longevity was also unable to give him an answer.
This time, Muke sent a total of four thousand men including Tata. Although, the strength of the troop was twice as before, but it was not enough for such a small number to attack the city. Naturally, it was because Muke wanted his younger brother to share a little more work for him.
Tata silently rode the horse and continued to advance forward. However, when he was approaching Dragon City, a troop suddenly rushed out. With bloodshot eyes, they slashed at them. It was fierce and neat. A battle broke out abruptly like that. The Xiongnu were caught off guard and they lost more than half of their men.
Tata and that leader of a Xiongnu tribe had been dumbstruck. Who were these people? Why did they attack them without a greeting and for no reason? Are they crazy?
They were now battling Great Liang. So, for a moment they also didn’t realize what more enemies they had beside Great Liang. After they recovered from the shock, they found out that these people were wearing the clothes of the western foreigners.
They had been ambushed by the western foreigners!
Tata and the leader were furious. They didn’t provoke the western foreigners. Instead, the western foreigners took the initiative to provoke them!
This was unbelievable for the Xiongnu. It was like seeing an antelope leaping into the arms of a lion. That the western foreigners dared to take the initiative to provoke the Xiongnu, did the lamb eat the gall of a leopard?
In recent years, the western foreigners had been very peaceful because of their internal strife. No one thought that they would stand up and take the initiative to start a war,
The combat power of the Xiongnu were very tenacious, but after the battle, they had lost more than half of their people. They didn’t know why this group of western foreigners would desperately fight with them like crazy. Could Tata’s group continue to attack Dragon City now?
The answer was naturally no. So, the group of people went back before they even reached Dragon City.
