Chapter 469 Eagle Tribe
Rocco quickly knelt down and apologized, "Prince, the ones I sent out this time are the best in the tribe. It shouldn't be possible for them to fail!"

He had found out everything. The other party had only brought 300 guards with them. More than a dozen of the 300 guards died and dozens were injured in the two assassination attempts. Those people had no ability to resist at all. Moreover, this was a surprise attack, and the result should not have been like this.

Prince Hanzhen kicked over the stool and said, "Bullshit! That old bastard Shandiye has come to my house and even said he is looking for me. Isn't it just to assassinate me? You are not doing your job well, I will deal with you later!"

He panted heavily for a few times, rubbed his frowning forehead, and whispered, "Block the news. The queen must not know about this, otherwise, you will lose your head! Now let Shandiye come in to see me!"

When Shan Diye was hesitating outside, he had been noticed by many people from the Eagle Tribe. Just as he was thinking about whether to leave first, someone suddenly came and took him to see Prince Han Zhen.

With his mind preoccupied, Shandiye didn't pay close attention to the situation around him. As soon as he saw Prince Hanzhen, he opened his mouth impatiently, "Prince Hanzhen, you really screwed me over!"

When Prince Hanzhen heard this, he immediately retorted unhappily, "Sandyye, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! I didn't do anything, so don't bite me."

Shandiye's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice rose several degrees, "Prince Hanzhen! You are still pretending to be stupid at this time! Although I am only the lord of Jingu City with no real power, no force outside the Great Wall can escape my eyes. As soon as your people entered the city, I knew where they came from!

The first time that group of people were arrested, I was still trying to smooth things over and cover it up for you. I thought you would learn your lesson and stop in time, but you are so different! You tried again after failing the first time. The second time, they didn’t even bother to look for an old man like me, so they just killed all your people. You still don’t know the depth of the situation, and you even dared to assassinate for the third time!
Now, the Qi border garrison has arrived. They want to seek justice for those merchants. Even if I hint at the Eagle Tribe, it will be useless. Also, many of your people have been captured alive. You'd better make sure that they are loyal and keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, Prince Hanzhen may not be able to withstand General Xiao's wrath."

Prince Hanzhen's face became increasingly darker, and he was no longer as calm as he was at first.

"Shandiye, if the Qi army really sends troops, you won't get any advantage!" Prince Hanzhen's face was distorted with anger.

Shandiye curled his lips, "If it weren't for this, the old man would not be willing to help you! You'd better show your sincerity and apologize to General Xiao in person, and give a reasonable explanation."

"Dream on!" Prince Hanzhen excitedly punched the table beside him and cracked it.

Shandiye swallowed hard and warned fearfully, "I, I, I have already told you everything. It is not up to me to decide what to do. I am just reminding you that if the king and queen are alerted to this matter, it will not do you any good."

"Are you threatening me?" Prince Hanzhen looked at Shandiye with murderous intent in his eyes.

At this moment, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A group of guards escorted a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous dress and covered in gold ornaments into the room.

As soon as the woman appeared, Prince Hanzhen immediately let go and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Your son greets the Queen Mother."

Tiss glanced back proudly at Prince Hanzhen who was kneeling in front of her, and her cold eyes fell on Shandiye, "Shandiye, you are becoming more and more self-willed."

Shandiye knelt down with a thud and said, "What happens next, King? It's none of my business! It's..." Shandiye's eyes glanced at Prince Hanzhen, hesitating and not daring to continue.

Tiss sneered as she stepped back, "What? Have you forgotten who is the leader of the Eagle Tribe? You dare to play tricks in front of me, do you think your life is too long?"

Shandiye was almost frightened to death. He quickly admitted his mistake and tremblingly told the story of Prince Hanzhen assassinating a merchant from Qi.

From then on, Tess's face became visibly gloomy, and her sharp eyes fell on Prince Hanzhen, making people's scalps tingle.

Prince Hanzhen quickly argued, "Mother, it's not what Shandiye said. That Qi merchant cheated me, and I wanted to kill him because I was angry. I didn't know that he had the support of the Qi general behind him. If I had known his background earlier, how could I have been so reckless?"

Queen Tis slowly closed her eyes and spoke in a voice full of majesty, "You are indeed reckless! I thought you should have improved a lot over the years, but you are so narrow-minded just because of such a small matter. With what you have done, the tribal ministers can oppose your ascension to the throne!"

Queen Tis looked disappointed.

Prince Hanzhen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and kept apologizing for his mistake.

After all, he was the heir she had personally trained. Even if she was dissatisfied, Tiss had to clean up the mess for him in the future. She took a deep breath and looked at Shan Diye, "What does General Xiao want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Shandiye's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he hurriedly said, "General Xiao was very angry, and he also said that the reason why Jingu City is so peaceful now is all because of Qi. Now the people of the Eagle Tribe dare to hurt Qi merchants like this, which means they want to be enemies with Qi. They want an explanation."

Queen Tis took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "What explanation do they want? Do they want us to hand over the prince?"

Sandiya said nothing.

Tiss narrowed her eyes as she stepped back for a moment, "Who are those businessmen from?"

The border has finally been peaceful, and no one wants to start another war, including her and the State of Qi. The person who can make General Xiao start such a big war is definitely not an ordinary person.

Shandiya looked embarrassed. "I don't know the details of the other party. I only know that their caravan is large and powerful, and they brought a lot of goods. The grain alone is worth hundreds of thousands of taels, and there are many precious porcelains, silks, etc. I guess he might be a royal relative of Qi State."

After saying this, Tissi's face turned black, and she glared at Prince Hanzhen angrily, "You'd better pray that this matter can be resolved peacefully, otherwise you will be a sinner in the entire outside the pass. Even if I want to protect you, the Wild Wolf Tribe will not agree!"

The Wild Wolf Tribe is building a city, intending to turn the Yoshino Grassland into a prosperous city like Jingu City. If a war breaks out outside the Great Wall at this critical moment, the impact on the Wild Wolf Tribe will be the greatest. All their previous efforts will be burned to ashes, and the anger will definitely be blamed on Prince Hanzhen.

Prince Hanzhen knew that what Queen Tis said was true. He was so scared that he trembled and kept admitting his mistakes. "Mother, I was blinded by anger for a moment and had no intention of provoking a war. Please forgive me!"
