Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 999: Killing Yuwen Ye

Soon, his men brought the envoy from Luoyang into the big tent.

When the man looked up after entering the tent, he revealed a handsome face that was somewhat sickly, especially a pair of sinister and deep eyes. The moment they looked at each other, Ashina Zhuxie felt bad. But he still sat still, watching the man slowly walk to the center of the tent and salute him.

"Meet the Khan."

"You are--"

"My name is Wang Shaoqiu."

When he heard the name, a gleam of light flashed in Ashina Zhuxie's eyes.

He was not unfamiliar with the name Wang Shaoqiu, but he was more familiar with his brother Wang Shaoji. After all, they had conspired together to take over Taiyuan, the birthplace of the Great Sheng Dynasty. However, Ashina Zhuye had never seen this person. He had only met Wang Shaoji, who was in charge at the time, once. Even at that meeting, he did not like the vicious and mean man, but he also vaguely felt from the other party's words that behind Wang Shaoji there was a person who was far-sighted and had a more sinister character and methods than he was.

But no one expected that the envoy sent by Luoyang was actually Wang Shaoqiu.

He took a closer look. The man was thin and looked like a frail scholar. Even though it was summer, his clothes were not thin. There was not a drop of sweat on his pale face. His expression was decadent and sickly, and he seemed to be really weak. However, the cunning light in his eyes showed that it was not the case at all.

This person is like a dormant snake. You never know when he will jump out and give someone a fatal bite.

Ashina Zhuxie said: "So you are Wang Shaoqiu."

"I didn't expect that Khan would still remember me. I am honored."

"Of course I remember you," Ashina Zhuxie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Wang Shaoqiu up and down. Everyone thought he was going to talk about the cooperation in Taiyuan, but he said: "You and your brother did something earth-shattering in Jiangdu. In the words of the Han people, it is an unforgivable crime."

Wang Shaoqiu frowned.

He has always stood behind Wang Shaoji, and many things were handled by his brother who liked to be in the limelight. The limelight belonged to him, and naturally the blame was also on him. So until now, he can still be alive and can still rely on Liang Shide to avoid being attacked by the rebel forces from all sides, which is mostly due to his forbearance in the past.

However, he did not expect that the Zhuye Khan of Western Turkic Khaganate would touch upon his soft spot right after they met.

However, he did not change his expression, but only smiled faintly and said: "Emperor Yang is unjust, so what my brother and I did is in accordance with the will of heaven."

Ashina Zhuxie said: "It's a pity that we are doing the work of others."

What he meant was that they killed Chu Yang, but in the end the Daye Dynasty was inherited by the Yuwen family, who defeated them in Taiyuan and even killed Wang Shaoji. Sensing the sharpness in Ashina Zhuye's words, Wang Shaoqiu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Ashina Zhuye, saying, "Could it be that the Khan is upset for Emperor Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina Zhuxie frowned.

Just now when Wang Shaoqiu said that Emperor Yang was immoral, he did not refute. Firstly, there was no need to waste words on a fallen emperor who had been at odds with the Turks. Secondly, Chu Yang's debauchery and immorality were known to the world, and there was no need for him to say anything about his murder. So at this time, he started a confrontation with the other party for regicide. When Wang Shaoqiu asked whether he felt unfair for him, it became unreasonable. If he continued to talk, it would seem like he was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Although, that's what he meant.

When the two sides interact, although they should show courtesy to the envoys, they must also exert pressure to prevent the other party from acting recklessly. After all, Luoyang sent envoys for no reason at this time, either because they have something to ask for or something to plot for.

Then, Ashina Zhuxie said coldly: "This Khan has no interest in speaking up for a dead person." "That's great,"

Wang Shaoqiu smiled and said, "The Khan is wise and brave. I don't think he would waste his time and energy on a tyrant who has no moral principles or ethics. The Khan should focus on more important matters."

Ashina Zhuxie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? What's so important that it's worth my attention?"

Wang Shaoqiu raised his head and looked at him: "Kill Yuwen Ye."

"...!"

These five words came out of nowhere, like a gust of cold wind, which startled Ashina Zhuye. He frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Wang Shaoqiu said: "It seems that the Khan does not know that the Qin Wang Yuwen Ye of Dasheng has led his troops eastward and is now stationed near Cijian outside Luoyang City. However, he has few soldiers and horses, less than 30,000."

Ashina Zhuxie's eyes flickered violently twice.

But after a moment, his eyes calmed down again, and when he looked up at Wang Shaoqiu, his eyes were a little cold: "What does this have to do with me?"

Wang Shaoqiu had already seen clearly the murderous intent in his eyes when he said the five words "kill Yuwen Ye" just now, so when he heard this question now, he just smiled faintly and said, "I heard before that Yuwen Ye once broke into the Western Turkic tent alone and escaped unscathed, and then the Khan ascended the throne. Based on my understanding of him, he should not have helped the Khan."

"..."

"On the contrary, he must have taken advantage of the danger when the Khan ascended the throne to escape unscathed."

"..."

"Khan, don't you want revenge?"

He obviously didn't finish his words, and everyone knew that the two words he didn't finish were "shame".

After all, when Ashina Zhuye kidnapped Shang Ruyi from Qi County, he also had a large group of people, but in the end, Yuwen Ye single-handedly killed him in the Turkic tent and took him away. Even though he did not suffer any losses, it was indeed a scar in his heart.

No one would refuse the opportunity to take revenge.

But Ashina Zhuxie thought quietly for a while, looked at Wang Shaoqiu coldly, and suddenly said: "What is he doing in Luoyang with 30,000 soldiers?"

"...!"

Seeing the murderous intent flickering in his eyes, Wang Shaoqiu thought he had provoked the anger of the Western Turkic Khan, but he did not expect him to be so calm. Not only did he not respond to the conversation, but he immediately found the loophole in his words.

Wang Shaoqiu was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "This doesn't seem to be important."

Ashina Zhuxie slowly leaned forward. Although he was still sitting motionless on the throne, his expression and his sharp wolf eyes made him look like a wolf lurking in a high place, ready to pounce and bite a person's throat at any time. It was chilling.

He said, "If it wasn't important, why would Liang Shide send you here to ask for help?"
