Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1005 Don't Miss the Opportunity
Two days later, a group of horses galloped into the Western Turkic camp.

A moment later, Ashina Zhuye walked out of the big tent and walked slowly along the path to a tent in the corner of the camp. He had not known that a special envoy from Luoyang would come and stay, so this tent was temporarily built for him after Wang Shaoqiu arrived. He was accompanied by a small number of people, just two or three, who were squeezed in a smaller tent on the other side.

Therefore, there was no guard in front of his tent, and it seemed that he himself did not care. Ashina Zhuxie reached out, lifted the tent and walked in.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Wang Shaoqiu sitting inside with a powdery thing in his hand.

It seems to be a handkerchief.

He put the handkerchief to his nose, as if he was smelling the breath inside. His expression seemed a little lost, as if his soul was trapped. He didn't even notice Ashina Zhuye walking in. It was not until the tall shadow covered his sight that he suddenly came to his senses, immediately stuffed the pink handkerchief back into his arms, and stood up to greet him: "When did the Khan come?"

Ashina Zhuxie looked at him and immediately gathered his spirits. He looked cautious and said calmly, "Did the Khan disturb the special envoy?"

"No. Please take a seat, Khan."

Ashina Zhuxie also raised his hand, and they both sat down.

After sitting down, Ashina Zhuxie looked up at the person opposite him. Wang Shaoqiu obviously knew that what happened just now had fallen into his eyes. Although he was cautious and prudent, his expression was still a little unnatural. Ashina Zhuxie smiled faintly and said, "The envoy doesn't look very good. Is he feeling unwell?"

Wang Shaoqiu forced a smile and said, "My body has always been like this."

"Oh, thank you for coming all the way here this time."

"The duty lies."

"But it's not your responsibility to stay here and wait for the next two days."

Hearing this, Wang Shaoqiu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately guessed something from Ashina Zhuxie's flickering eyes. He asked, "Is there any news from Lu-Shang Ruyi?"

"good."

"When will they get here?"

Looking at Wang Shaoqiu's burning gaze, Ashina Zhuxie was silent for a moment before saying, "They may not come here."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaoqiu's face changed immediately. The indescribable tenderness that had just remained in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He regained his calmness and rationality. He said, "Shang Ruyi took people away from Chang'an. Wasn't it for Xiazhou? Why didn't she come here?"

It was not until this time that Ashina Zhuye raised his hand. Wang Shaoqiu noticed that he was holding a piece of paper with only a few lines of words on it. It looked like an urgent report from the spies ahead. Ashina Zhuye said, "I also thought that Princess Qiancheng asked for help from Chang'an, and Yuwen Yuan asked the Princess of Qin to lead a group of people out of Chang'an to relieve the danger in Xiazhou, but I didn't expect that it was not the case."

"..."

"She did not leave Yanmen, but went to Suizhou."

"Suizhou?"

This place name, which had no meaning to them at the moment, made Wang Shaoqiu even more confused - Shang Ruyi took people away from Chang'an at this time, not to Xiazhou, but to Suizhou instead. What did she want to do?
Could it be——

Wang Shaoqiu immediately asked, "Suizhou, what's wrong?"

Ashina Zhuxie looked at him with a twinkling gaze: "Maybe I have to ask the special envoy about this. After all, I am not familiar with the people and things in your Central Plains."

Wang Shaoqiu sensed something: "Who and what does the Khan want to ask?"

"For example - Zuo Heng."

"..." "For example, the suspected tomb of Zuo Gong."

When Wang Shaoqiu heard the words "Zuo Gong Yi Tomb", his expression changed immediately, and his eyes became more profound and refined. He lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Why does the Khan know this? Why is he asking about Zuo Gong Yi Tomb at this time?"

Ashina Zhuye also felt the importance of "Zuo Gong's Tomb" from the subtle change in his expression, but he still had a faint expression and said, "My people followed Shang Ruyi and that Lu Xiao all the way, and found that they mentioned Zuo Heng and Zuo Gong's Tomb more than once along the way; I originally thought that after leaving Tongguan, they would go all the way north to Yanmen to help Xiazhou, but I didn't expect that they actually went to Suizhou."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Ashina Zhuxie's eyes: "I know Zuo Heng, a man who once gave Chu Yang a headache. What about the Zuo Gong Tomb?"

"..."

Wang Shaoqiu thought for a moment and suddenly said with a smile, "Congratulations, Khan."

"Ok?"

"The news Khan received this time is likely to bring greater benefits than the benefits gained from conquering Xiazhou."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Zuo Gong's suspected tomb——"

Wang Shaoqiu told Ashina Zhuye everything he knew, which was also almost everything that the ministers of the previous dynasty knew, about the many suspicious tombs set up by Zuo Chen'an and the wealth of the enemy country that might be hidden in the suspicious tombs.

Upon hearing about the wealth of the enemy country, Ashina Zhuxie's eyes twitched slightly.

As for his purpose of going south this time, it actually doesn't matter where he fights or who he fights, because he has no grudges with the Central Plains. Even if there are grudges, they can be resolved through interests. Therefore, the most important thing for him to go south is to gain benefits through fighting, which is almost the most important survival ability for a hegemon in troubled times. And now, there is a place that may hide an astonishing number of treasures. How can this not make people tempted?

only--

He looked at Wang Shaoqiu and said, "You mean, Shang Ruyi went to Suizhou this time to find Zuo Gongyi's tomb?"

"It looks like that."

As he spoke, Wang Shaoqiu lowered his voice again, but said in a hoarse voice that seemed like the temptation of the devil: "Khan, don't miss this opportunity."

Ashina Zhuxie thought for a moment and said with a half-smile, "Since it's called a suspicious tomb, then not everyone knows it. If everyone knew where Zuo Chen'an was buried, the things inside would have been divided up long ago."

Wang Shaoqiu said: "Khan is wise."

"So--"

"The person who truly knows where Zuo Chen was buried should be his biological son Zuo Heng."

"Didn't he die in battle a few years ago?"

"Although he is dead, the people who followed him may have obtained some clues about Zuo Gong's suspected tomb from him."

"You mean-"

"Xiao Yuansui."

At this point, a dark haze flashed across Wang Shaoqiu's eyes. He seemed to grit his teeth before continuing, "And Lu Xiao was Xiao Yuansui's concubine back then."

Ashina Zhuxie narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You mean, Xiao Yuansui may have learned some clues about Zuo Gong's suspected tomb from Zuo Heng, and he may have told these clues to Lu Xiao. So now, Shang Ruyi's purpose of going to Suizhou is-"

Wang Shaoqiu looked at him with shining eyes: "Khan, don't miss this opportunity!"
