Mulan Has No Elder Brother

Biquge www.readwn.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Mulan Wu Brother!

Triumphant return, although Tuobayu did not pardon the world, he also ordered Wei to lift the curfew within one month, allowing the people to carnival all night and celebrate victory.

I heard that there are also various celebrations in the palace. As soon as Tuoba entered the palace, he was tripped by various celebrations. In addition, there is no queen in the palace. Many things are assisted by the queen mother Dou, but she is the queen mother after all. Some things Unable to make the decision without authorization, they are waiting for Tuobayu to return to the palace. In this case, Tuobayu is really entangled in affairs, and he can't spare time to deal with some leisure things.

Several wolf heads had their own residence in Pingcheng, and when they arrived in Pingcheng, they went to the second brother's house in Pingcheng. He originally wanted to invite He Mulan to come to live in the Beijing house. Later, when he thought of He Mulan as a woman, his second brother was always smart. In case he found that Huo Chang's identity was not good, he didn't mention it.

As soon as Di Yefei arrived in Pingcheng, he followed Cui Hao to Cui Mansion. He recruited high-ranking people for his meritorious service. If not unexpected, he would later become a military official under Cui Hao, a "high-ranking recruiter". He was in Beijing. There is no residence, and he has the apprenticeship with Cui Hao. It is normal to live in his house.

Cui Hao has a huge gatekeeper. Di Yefei is under the master and above the gatekeeper. All of his friends are not worried that he will be neglected.

Kumoti also has royal palaces in Beijing, and these princes have their own residences in Beijing. However, because Tuoba's imperial palace was built shabby, these royal palaces of Xianbei did not dare to build too luxurious. From the perspective of He Mulan, it was the level of those antique hotels in later generations.

Kumoti's father died early and his mother remarried. There was only one younger sister in the family, who had already been married out. The mansion was very empty and it was all taken care of by old slaves. As soon as he arrived in the capital, Kumoti also kindly invited He Mulan to recount the past, but He Mulan had other plans himself, and finally declined his invitation.

He Mulan didn't live anywhere. She only stayed at the Li Hotel arranged by Hongzhe Temple. She was a general who came to Beijing to work and wait for a reward. She should live in the concierge court as usual. Tuoba said that he would come to her to arrange some things. She considered that it was inconvenient for her to live in other people's home, so she even stayed at the Li Hotel even if invited by many parties.

Because Wei is a multi-ethnic country, it has a close relationship with the surrounding ethnic groups and countries. The status of Hongzhang Temple, which is responsible for receiving foreign guests, is also very important. The Li Hotel has a large area. Not only does He Mulan go to Beijing like this Civil and military officials from all over the country, as well as other envoys from other countries who came to congratulate or present gifts after learning that Wei Guoda broke Rouran.

He Mulan was surprised when she was led into the Li Hotel by the officials of Hongzhe Temple, because according to the etiquette of the Hu nationality, she respects the left. She lives on the left side of the Li Hotel, next to Beiliang and Bei Yan, Cuomo, and other countries sent Hershey's residences.

"This ambassador, isn't this the right place?" He Mulan looked at the courtyard, which was enough to receive the king's room. "We only have three people ..."

Mo said He Mulan, even Chen Jie and Mangu who followed He Mulan were frightened.

"This is Her Majesty's arrangement." The ceremony officer said humbly. "His Majesty said that next door is the courtyard where the messengers of Beiliang live. They came here to bring many warriors. The general is also a rare hero in the world. It's exactly here that they can defy their pride. "

Beiliang asked for surrender when Xia Kingdom was destroyed, and it is now the Shu Kingdom of Wei Kingdom. Because they surrendered, Tuobayu could not find any suitable reason to clean them up, and first attacked Xia, then attacked Rouran, and really did not have the heart to conquer Beiliang. The other party was willing to surrender. , Tuobayu should also go down, while accepting the tribute and courtiers of Beiliang, while freeing up to deal with Rouran.

Now Rouran is gone, Wei is surrounded by small countries, and there will be no waves in the past two years. Beiliang is also probably worried that Tuobayu will hit their country again when the wind blows, so every time he comes to Pingcheng At that time, some warriors in the middle school will be brought to show that although Beiliang belongs to your Wei state, it is not that there are no people who can fight in the middle school.

Beiliang is a country established by Lu Shuihu. Xiliang was destroyed eight years ago, and it has since become the largest country in the west, bordering Rouran. Both Tuobayu and Cui Hao have always believed that Beiliang secretly formed an alliance with Rouran secretly, and also had a good relationship with Liu Song. They were struggling to find a handle. Now Rouran is destroyed, and Tuobatu naturally strikes. With the idea of ​​Liang State, wanting to Mulan to live next door to the Minister of Liang State should have another meaning.

He Mulan heard that this was Tuoba's order, and He Mulan was not easy to quit, and he lived in with two relatives. Hongdai Temple not only allocated He Mulan, a relatively large courtyard, but also sent four male slaves and four female slaves as her waiters while she was in Beijing.

"Ah ... is this a quilt in the legend?" Quite ancient looked at the elegant furnishings in the room, some crappy, and did not dare to move randomly. When he saw the paved mattress on the low couch in the room, he was scared immediately. Jumped.

In this era, cotton was not planted in the north. Rich people used silk quilts. Those without money used animal furs such as quilts made of dogskin. Some were simply thick cloth. less. Quite ancient, I only heard about the reputation of cotton. I have never seen a real quilt. When I saw this fluffy quilt, I called out immediately.

He Mulan touched the quilt casually, her face and lining were silk, but it was filled with cotton batting, but because it was autumn, the quilt was not thick.

Even so, it was enough to make He Mulan cry.

Finally slept to the quilt!

Finally no need to sleep with blankets and blankets!

Shake with dander and ash!

"It's really a quilt. That pillow is silkworm sand." He Mulan said happily. "Even the distribution room where the relatives lived is like this. My main room must be better."

She had originally thought that Tuoba ’s own palace was so provincial, and the accommodation conditions of the Li Hotel should be careless, but did not expect Tuoba ’s province to be generous to her guests, not only was the quilt made of silk and cotton, even The rooms are all tastefully decorated.

She didn't know that this hotel was the result of an argument between Cui Hao and the general Wenchen and Tuobayu. Not only that, from the architectural drawings to the furnishings and utensils inside, almost all of them were accompanied by Chong Hao and others who carried Hongdai Temple Arranged a little bit, so it is so comfortable atmosphere.

If Tuoba is really up to the decision, I am afraid that this off-line king will say something like "whatever will be done in my country so well in the future", and only build a humble building.

He Mulan and others had just settled their luggage, and then sent Yue Ying and other war horses to the stables arranged in the yard to rest. They saw a man with a long face standing at the door of their yard, and seemed to be waiting for a pass.

He Mulan wore casual clothes when she brushed the horse. She was not swayed by Wang Ba. When she saw someone looking at their courtyard, she walked out and asked what was going on.

The long-faced man regarded her as a follower of Mulan, and took out a wooden letter from his arms, saying, "I am the servant of His Royal Highness, and by the order of the host, I will send this post to General Huwei Mulan .My master lives in Jixianyuan not far away, hoping that General Hu Wei will take time to describe. "

I didn't expect that the messenger of Beiliang did not reach out and explore the brain first. Instead, you came to see Youxian Wang Xibi across several yards!

He should have his own channels of information in Wei State, otherwise the posts will arrive as soon as they live.

He Mulan took the wooden letter and nodded: "I know, tell His Highness Yu Jiuyu, and say that if I have time, I will have a drink with him."

The long-faced man was surprised, and the other side's tone ...

"Are you General Huwei?"

"Yes."

"The villain is too rude." The long-faced man was half frightened, and he knelt down and said, "The villain did not recognize the general, please forgive the army."

"I'm not a big man. You didn't recognize anything that surprised me." He Mulan smiled with a temper, "I took the post, you go back."

The long-faced man was still scratching his head for several times, and then he dared to stand up, and reverently resigned to leave the courtyard.

"It seems that after Rou Ran's defeat, not only was Rou Ran's civilians panicked, but even these surrendered officials were no exception. This man was a waiter around King You Xian, and he should have been some kind of person before. The general didn't recognize it but was terrified ... "

When the ancient man came out, he saw this scene. He fought with Rou Ran for nearly ten years, and his heart felt for a while, and he couldn't help sighing.

He Mulan was holding the wooden letter, and was preparing to respond to the ancient words, but he heard a Xianbei saying that was not very standard.

"The king is defeated, since ancient times. Rou Ran defeated, if you still have high spirits, that is the way to take death."

He Mulan hated the fact that others watched it secretly and then secretly commented on it, so when she looked back, she was very displeased even when she saw that he was a tall and handsome young man.

The man did not know if he did not realize that his behavior was abrupt, or he was so natural, or he simply looked down on Mulan, so he continued to smile and said:

"General Hua is the hero who took the first rank of Rouhan. It is normal for the waiter to be afraid."

"The ambassador, Rouran came to visit my general and knew that he was waiting at the door and sent a post. You brought someone over, but you did n’t even know how to be a guest?"

Chen Jie followed behind Mangu, and was somewhat unhappy.

"Presumptuous, this is my three princes, my prince, Juqu Mumu!"

Behind the tall young man, a waiter snorted loudly and was stared back by Ju Qumu.

"It's because the servant is not sensible, and the general is not to blame. We stayed at the Li Hotel for more than half a month, waiting for Her Majesty to return to the palace. . "

The skin of Ju Qumu's skin is really good, and he spoke sincerely: "I thought that the envoy of another country came, but I didn't expect that the famous flower general lived next door, and it happened that I was embarrassed by Bei Zheng Zhan is also very curious. I wonder if I have the opportunity to invite the army to our hospital for a description? "

It ’s strange that He Mulan had n’t even given a gift to the hotel door. She first accepted the posts of her sister and was invited by the prince of Beiliang. She did n’t know where she was so popular. , I just ran to invite her.

He Mulan was anxious about how to refuse the invitation of Qu Qumu's graciousness, and it happened that Tuoba sent a pillow.

"General Hua, Your Majesty has set up a banquet in the palace today, feasting all the heroes. Your majesty is in accordance with His Majesty's Royal Decree, please now dress and change clothes, and enter the palace with your majesty and so on."

It is rare for eunuchs in Tuoba to use the eunuchs, and the civilian officials in the palace are used as "angels". No matter how big the Juqu Mumu is, she dare not confront these emperors.

What's more, it was a bit bad for the envoys of other countries to pass the generals to the emperor's ears. When Ju Qumu came to see the ambassador, he immediately bid farewell to He Mulan and returned to his hospital with a few followers.

The civilian officials did not put on a smile on their own people until Juqu Mumu left, "General, Your Majesty has given you a coat and shoes, please change your clothes."

Hua Mulan is of ordinary origin. The best clothes on the whole body are just the two semi-old clothes and the pleated pants contributed by several people. At a feast in the palace today, generals like He Mulan who have made great achievements are sure to attend, but he has neither time to prepare a dress nor decent clothes to change.

Fortunately, Tuobayu took care of such a trivial matter, and sent a ceremony officer to He Mulan to send her new clothes in advance, and asked the ceremony officer to accompany her into the palace, so as to avoid the ugly appearance of ceremonies.

He Mulan's careful treatment of Tuobayu was naturally ironing. The ceremonial officers put on their shirts, and she did not twist them. After taking the clothes, she returned to the main room and changed her face.

.

Inside the Anchang Hall.

Tuoba watched the ceremony officer walk out of the hall, and couldn't help but laugh at Helian Mingzhu, who said, "I didn't think you were so careful, I didn't expect Hua Mulan might not have entered the palace to wear a dress. You could take the time to remind me. . "

Not only reminded him that Mulan had no clothes at all, but also reminded him that the general was of reckless origin, and perhaps he did not even know the etiquette.

Helian Mingzhu lowered her head and said nothing. She was severely rejected by Hua Mulan. She was supposed to hate him, but Hua Mulan was too perfect. Even if he rejected her, she felt sad and ashamed. No hate can be born.

This is probably related to the fact that she invested in Hua Mulan with single lovesickness. If the two had loved each other, or if Hua Mulan gave her some misleading hints, maybe this time she was not regret, but rather Love loves to hate.

So when Tuoba had called the ceremony officer to come and declare Mulan to attend the evening dinner, Helian Mingzhu struggled for a while, but he was bold enough and Tuoba went to his previous words.

She couldn't watch Hua Mulan ugly.

Such a hero should not be ridiculed by others.

Tuobayu praised her carefully, she didn't answer immediately, which made him curious.

The people who were waiting for Tuobayu were investigated by the Egret officer. Before, Tuoba was interested, and felt Zhao Ming had some interest. So he brought her to the side, but the Egret officer did not dare to be careless. Fan.

These egret officials found that there were no powerful eunuchs around Princess Helian Mingzhu. There were only two effective female officials, one of which was called "Jade" and disappeared before the city was broken. The female officer was said to be calm and firm, Princess Helian Pearl has been protected from the persecution and conspiracy in the palace, and then Helian Pearl was promised to Di Ziyu, another female officer named "Yu Ye" was asked to go back, but no one mentioned "Jade". I think what happened when the city broke.

No matter how hard Tuopao and others thought, a princess would actually go to the temple where all the dead were guarding the spirits, so he only regarded this Zhao Ming as a "yucui" and secretly sent an experienced veteran in the palace. After reading it, they said that it must be a woman, not an eunuch.

Tuoba Yu saw that she was really diligent in her work, and she was careful in her character. In addition, Tuoba Yu didn't like to use a maid, so she opened her eyes and closed her eyes, but sometimes she had a bad mood and teased this shallow-skinned guy Right is to decompress yourself.

He realized that he was a few hundred times more wise than that male. "Yui Cui" knew that there was more future in his mind than that of a dead princess, so Tuoba's behavior was bad, but he was not at all. Guilt.

Tuobayu was not a delicate-minded person, but he was surrounded by two women dressed as men, one of whom was an eunuch, so he was a little curious about "Zhao Ming". He found that as long as he talked about Mulan, the other side was a little uncomfortable. Then he thought that He Mulan had taken care of the fake **** before, and Zhao Ming had taken care of her injury without a doubt, and immediately raised a funny guess. .

‘Yi Hua Mulan's temperament is that she may see Zhao Ming as a woman, so she takes care of her in many ways, but she does n’t necessarily know. Whenever a woman feels that she is good for herself for no reason, she must be interesting to herself, or she must give a favor to her. The fake **** next to me will not have a good impression of Mulan and is in love with it, so she is so concerned Right? ’

Takuba twitched his cheeks bizarrely, pressing a rushing smile.

‘Hahaha, how did Hua Mulan conceal her identity? Did Zhao Ming take care of her for so many months without showing her that they were all women? Zhao Ming is also a person with a meticulous mind, otherwise I would have driven her away, so how to treat Mulan so confused? ’

The more Tuoba Yu wanted to be, the more funny he was. He just felt that this real female official and fake **** liked the fake man like Hua Mulan. It was the worst thing in the world.

He beckoned and was preparing to let Helian Mingzhu speak, and teased her again, but he saw a guard hurried into the temple to report, saying that it was Guzhen asking for an appointment.

The position of Gu Yishi is equivalent to half a prime minister. However, he is responsible for all internal affairs and national defense affairs. At this time, he must ask urgently to see something important. Tuobayan immediately withdrew his hand, and asked Gu Yan to come up after sitting tightly.

This senior official is different from Cui Hao, who is good at talking. If there is something wrong, he really points to his nose and scolds him.

Guru is not a reckless minister, but when he came in, he was unstable, and obviously he was very turbulent. Seeing his appearance, Tuobayu was also a little uneasy, and quickly asked, "Is there something important about the ancient servant?"

‘Nonsense, it ’s not that there ’s something important to do, I ’m so dressed in a dress waiting to eat, why should I come here for a trip! ’

Gu Yan was defamatory in his heart, holding the emergency report in his hand and told Tuoba:

"When Rouran was broken, the west also sent a letter to Tongwan. It was actually a letter from Xi Qin for help, saying that He Lianding had broken Tianshui, killed Xi Qin general Yao Xian, and the entire West Qin was destroyed. The rest of the small town, Nan An, is still breathing ... "

"what?"

Always preparing to wait for the deal with Rouran, he made a move to recruit An Tulianding Tuobayu jumped up suddenly.

"Where's Jinjin? Don't you let Jinjin send troops to stare at Chang'an?"

Helien set himself as emperor. According to Chang'an, he has always been quiet, neither recruiting horses nor jumping wildly.

In order to reassure He Lianding, Tuo Bian sent him his younger sister He Lian Mingzhu to persuade surrender when Zheng Rouran did not move. In addition, his son He Lian Zhi Shui was so happy to be there with his old husband that Chang Shan Wang Tuoba Su looked after him, so He Lian Ding did not dare to act lightly.

The news from Chang'an has always been calm, so everyone ignored He Lianding, the sleeping tiger.

Gu Yan also smiled bitterly: "As soon as the letter from the West Qin kingdom begs Fuxi at the end of the call for help, King Changshan was also amazed. He sent people to the catty account overnight, and then sent spies into the Chang'an investigation. Three months ago, the soldiers had left Changan in batches, leaving only the people to pretend to guard the city to deceive them for defense. When we were discussing Rouran, Helianding also went west and destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty. It's almost there. "

The Western Qin is also one of the sixteen countries. It was a country founded by the chieftain of the beggar and Xianbei. It was also powerful for more than ten years and also destroyed Nanliang. It was only after the cruel and tyrannical monarch ascended to the throne at the end of the evening. It is declining and its national strength is declining. It can be described as a betrayal of relatives. The famous officials have left the Western Qin or have been persecuted. The once powerful Western Qin fell to the point where it was captured by Beiliang and Hu Xia.

Helianding often consulted the Western Qin Dynasty. As long as the Western Qin people mentioned that Helianding's legs were weak, he attacked the Western Qin Dynasty with 10,000 soldiers. When the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty saw the banner of Helianding, they fled. Hit him all the way under the king city.

Qifu is also a Xianbei group at the end of the evening. Beiliang next to him has already surrendered to the Wei Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom has been destroyed, leaving Changan. The owner also gave birth to the West Qin to belong to the Wei Kingdom. It ’s just that he managed the West Qin so badly that even Tuoba Xi could not look at him, so this matter has been dragging on. He wanted to come to Tuoba Xi's heart, although sending an army to destroy West Qin was troublesome. For one thing, it is more profitable than accepting his consignment to send some bargains every year.

It is said that since last year, the western Qin has begun to starve to death.

"What does He Lianding want to do? Does he want to wipe out Western Qin and set up a new summer in Western Qin?" Tuoba thought for a while, and then suddenly shot again.

"Yes, he doesn't want Xi Qin, he wants Beiliang! Great appetite!"

Who said that Helendin would return?

Who said that Helianding would take care of the safety of his sister and son?

He really saw the wrong person and gave him his sister, but the other party left Changan instead of patting his buttocks and ran to attack the Western Qin Dynasty?

Tuoba's complexion was red and white, and his good mood to prepare a feast for the party was gone. Of course, he wasn't angry that He Lianding took a shot with Qingqi to go to the West Qin, and it wasn't because He Lianding still arbitrarily disregarded the messenger's persuasion, but he was convinced in his mind that this Lianding would be finally used by him But somehow ran away!

Ran!

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to care about what he wants, but it is the leader of the Western Qin Dynasty asking for help. Helianding has been surrounding Nanan for a month. Should we send troops to rescue it?"

Gu Yan had no interest in beating the Western Qin Dynasty. The Western Qin National Strength is now the weakest among the northern countries, and the land is barren. Even if it is defeated, there is no benefit.

As soon as the army moved, it was the forefront of food and grass. After the rescue of beggars at the end of the evening, they got a bad baggage. It was a chicken rib, and it was a pity to abandon it.

Tuoba's thoughts were similar to him, and now he was irritable and anxious to smash the table.

"No help! A western Qin can be destroyed at any time. Why should we consume grain and grass for it?"

Tuoba Yan gritted his teeth: "He is really unexpected. What is he thinking? Isn't my sincerity enough? I even want to make him king, but he is willing to fight the small country over there and not accept it My sincerity! "

Tuobayu confessed that he treats people with sincerity. He even uses people like He Lianding and He Lianchang, and naturally hopes that others can truly attach.

The sixteen northern countries often fought against each other. Today you are the official here, and tomorrow you may be the official there. You are the king today, and tomorrow may be the general there. Now he is a good official, he throws out such a solicitation, but he is slapped by the other party!

"But Your Majesty ..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! An envoy team came out of Pingcheng Gate!"

A courtesan yelled to report outside the hall and did not dare to enter.

Tuoba's heart was irritable, and he cursed outside the door: "What envoy, come so slowly, just find a place to entertain first, but also go to the palace? Newspaper officials?"

After a while, there was an old voice sounding outside the door, and again, it was the Hongqi Temple nowadays.

The honourable monk said loudly outside the door: "Your Majesty, these ambassadors are so strange in status, I dare not arrange them without permission."

Gu Yan and Tuoba Yan glanced at each other, and invited the head of the Temple of Hongye.

Now that all nations have come to congratulate him on his conquest of Rouran, Hongzhang Temple has not known how many receptions it has received for more than a month, but at this time, what envoys have strange identities?

Liu Song's ambassador arrived, but he just arranged to meet up early before the DPRK meeting.

The head of the Temple of Hungryu put his whole shirt into the hall, respectfully saluting the Gu and Tuoba, only then did he express his intentions.

It's just here to say that suddenly shocked Tuobayu and Guzhen.

"Your Majesty, the messenger who came here claimed to be the Minister of the Xia Kingdom, and had already set out three months ago by the order of the country's leader, Helianding.

The head of Hongzhang Temple frowned slightly: "Hu Xia has been wiped out by our Great Wei, so we ca n’t recognize the identity of his envoy to the Xia Kingdom, but the messenger said that the Lord of Xia Kingdom was willing to honor the Western Qin Dynasty. Redeem the free bodies of the two royal families of Helian Mingzhu and Helian Zhishui. Also said ... "

He probably thought it was strange, so he looked weird.

"The envoy said that the princess we sent was fake, and Di Ziyu wasn't married to a princess. As long as Her Majesty was willing to treat Princess Helian and Helien to stop the water, he saw His sincerity and took Xi Qin Of my country belongs to Wei. "

Helian Mingzhu had been shrinking herself into the shadows before, for fear of others' attention, but at this moment when the words of Hongying Siqing came out, Helian Mingzhu quickly covered her mouth.

Because if she didn't, she would have screamed.

"What fake princess?"

Tuobayu just felt that all of his head was a mess.

"Isn't that princess Di Ziyu's own request? Isn't Di Ziyu very satisfied!"

***

Western Qin, Nan'an.

"Master, you can't do this!"

Yu Cui looked at Helianding, who ordered the slaughter of the Western Qin royal family, and could not help but say, "Emperor Wei will not accept such a Western Qin! Everyone knows that the Emperor Wei has a unified Central Plains ambition. When everyone died, everyone would only think that it was Wei Di who instructed you to do it. At that time, even if the heads of the northern countries would save their lives, they would not surrender easily! Wei Di would hate you! "

It took only a few months for Helianding to lay down the entire territory of the Western Qin Dynasty. By the time of Nan'an, the courtiers and the imperial clan of the Western Qin State surrendered and opened the city gate to go out and be captured. The West Qin Kingdom Lord begged Fuxi at the end of helplessness, and had to use his vehicle to carry an empty coffin out of the city to surrender.

If the current siege is Tuobayu, then Qifuxi Mo and the Western Qin royal family will all survive, at least they can be Ankangong, because Tuobayu needs to make a look for the nations.

But Helendin was not. He was a self-supporting emperor, and he broke the West Qin with 10,000 remnants. He could no longer leave any forces that could be repeated to shake his victory.

He did not have the huge Wei country to back it up, and he couldn't afford it.

It is the safest way to destroy the royal family of the Western Qin Dynasty.

Yu Cui was originally recruited by Wei Guo as the "Princess Hellen". If it was the Pearl of Hellen, maybe Helendin would have fallen, but when he saw who it was, he was instantly angry and burned. Slap Yu Cui two or three slaps!

"If it wasn't for your bird occupying the dove's nest, why would I be so troublesome, and I would have to lay down the **** child for Xi Qin."

He Lianding glanced at Yu Cui coldly.

Yu Cui, who was originally hard-working, suddenly turned pale.

"My sister, it's impossible to marry Di Ziyu's straw bag like this. Now the entire Wei Kingdom knows that 'Helian Mingzhu' has married Di Ziyu. If I don't make a big move, she will only Be anonymous as a slave! "

When He Lianding said "grass bag", Yu Cui's face turned from white to red, and she could not refute her biting her lip.

Because Helendin was right.

"How could I let the pearl be given to that straw bag like a cargo? Even nominal ones wouldn't."

Hellend sneered.

"I must ask Tuoba to send back the princess of my Xia Kingdom with great fanfare. My sister must never be a slave in the palace of Wei Emperor."

"I know you're worried for me, but I'm already a bereavement. What else can I lose? As long as my son and sister can live freely, my effort is worthwhile."

Hellend waved lightly at the herald.

"It's all chopped, and your head is hanging on the gate."

Fox beaver, if you can be as kind and magnanimous as you are ...

Even if I die, I'll give it to you.
