The weather in the Northern Tribes was terrible. Every year, there would be three to four months where snow would seal the borders. It was no wonder that the Northern Tribes yearned for the fertile land of the Da Chu State.
In the palace, the King of the Northern Tribes sat on a throne covered with tiger skin. He looked at the people below him angrily. The charcoal fire warmed up the entire room, but at this moment, it made it even hotter. The King of the Northern Tribes was already 60 years old. When he was young, he was a great hero of the grasslands. But as he got older, or perhaps it was because of the many things from the central plains that spread to the Northern Tribes, or perhaps it was human nature, the old King of the Northern Tribes gradually became muddle-headed and lustful. But even so, when he heard the news of Yelu Ye's death, he was furious.
The Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes, Yelu Hong, was also complaining in his heart. He did not expect Mo Xiuyao to move so quickly and defeat the hundreds of thousands of Northern Tribes soldiers in one fell swoop. In these three years, in order to conquer the Da Chu State, the Northern Tribes had sacrificed nearly two million soldiers. But what they managed to get back were some meaningless gold, silver, jewels, and antiques. There were many gold and silver mines in the grasslands. The Northern Tribes did not lack gold and silver. As for antiques, they did not know how to appreciate them. Needless to say, because they did not conquer the capital of the Da Chu State, they did not manage to get their hands on any real treasures. To the Northern Tribes, these things were not worth as much as silk, tea leaves, and food.
Yelu Hong chose to work with Mo Xiuyao only because he wanted to destroy his brother, Yelu Ye. He did not want to destroy the remaining hundreds of thousands of Northern Tribes soldiers. But now … Looking at the letter in his hand, Yelu Hong felt a chill in his heart. But he could not say anything. He could not blame Mo Xiuyao for being too good at fighting and destroying the entire Northern Tribes army. He could only blame Yelu Ye for being too useless!
"Crown Prince!" The King of the Northern Tribes panted.
Yelu Hong hurriedly collected his thoughts and stepped forward, replying in a deep voice, "This son is here."
The King of the Northern Tribes said, "Bring that woman from the Da Chu State over to I!"
Yelu Hong was slightly startled, hesitating. Princess Ronghua had been with him for more than ten years and had given birth to several children for him. Although they were from Da Chu State, they still had some feelings for each other. What's more, the relationship between Princess Ronghua and Princess Ding was very good. Although she was set up by Mo Xiuyao this time, she didn't actually do anything, so she avoided the danger of being discovered by her father. Moreover, Mo Xiuyao had helped him kill Yelu Ye. If he let his father kill Princess Rong Hua, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the Prince Ding Mansion.
"Father, this has nothing to do with Ronghua." Yelu Hong said in a deep voice.
The King of the Northern Tribes coldly snorted and said, "I don't care if she has anything to do with it. All I know is that Mo Xiuyao killed my son and I's million strong army. I want to use that woman from Da Chu State as a sacrifice and send troops to avenge my son! "After that, he ignored Yelu Hong's reluctance and waved his hand to bring Princess Ronghua over.
Yelu Hong frowned and said, "Father, Ronghua must be the mother of the princes. If we kill her, the princes …"
The King of the Northern Tribes didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "What do a few children know? Give them to your other concubines to raise. If they can't be raised properly … just kill them. I don't lack little princes. " The King of the Northern Tribes was indeed qualified to say this. Up to now, he had thirteen princes, seven princesses, and no less than thirty royal grandchildren. Naturally, he didn't care about the impure princes of a woman from Da Chu State.
Not long after, Princess Ronghua was escorted to the door of the room. The person who escorted Princess Ronghua pushed her without any mercy. Princess Ronghua staggered and fell into the room. Princess Ronghua couldn't help but smile faintly as she looked at the people who were glaring at her maliciously, and then looked at Yelu Hong's awkward expression. As a princess, she naturally understood that her life and death, honor and disgrace were related to the relationship between the two countries. As early as when West-Hill attacked Da Chu State, the Northern Tribes didn't kill her because of the people sent by the Prince Ding Mansion to help her. Now that millions of troops of the Northern Tribes were destroyed by the Mohist army, the King of the Northern Tribes couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so the first person he thought of was naturally herself.
"Ronghua greets the King and the Crown Prince." Princess Ronghua bowed slightly and saluted the King of the Northern Tribes with the etiquette of the Northern Tribes. Even so, she still had the nobility and elegance of a well-educated royal woman, which was completely different from the rudeness of the Northern Tribes women.
The King of the Northern Tribes sneered and said, "Princess of Da Chu State, do you know what happened?"
Princess Ronghua raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Ronghua doesn't know, please enlighten me."
The King of the Northern Tribes' face was a bit ferocious, but no one knew if he was worried about his son, Yelu Ye, or the millions of troops of the Northern Tribes. "You don't know! I's Seventh Prince was killed by Mo Xiuyao, don't you know? "In fact, Princess Ronghua was a woman and a member of a different race, so it was normal that she didn't know. It was just that the King of the Northern Tribes deliberately found fault with her, so no one could think of anything.
Princess Ronghua lowered her eyes and didn't speak. She already understood that the King of the Northern Tribes wanted to kill her, so anything she said would be superfluous. Although she had been married to the Northern Tribes for more than ten years, and although the Da Chu State only had half of its territory left, she was not afraid to beg for mercy and disgrace the dignity of a princess of Da Chu State.
"It seems that you also know that you should die! I will leave your body intact and send it back to Da Chu State! "The King of the Northern Tribes sneered.
Princess Ronghua looked at Yelu Hong on the side. Yelu Hong looked at her awkwardly, but didn't say anything. Seeing this, Princess Ronghua could only smile bitterly. These years, although she had some disloyalty, she was really sincere to Yelu Hong. She also knew that Yelu Hong had her in his heart, but it was not as important as his position as the Crown Prince and his royal power. But seeing that Yelu Hong didn't even say a word for her, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Princess Ronghua couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
When Princess Ronghua stopped talking, the King of the Northern Tribes thought that she was afraid. The anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and he said proudly, "I want to drag her out and behead her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Two Northern Tribes guards stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled Princess Ronghua out. Princess Ronghua closed her eyes, looked sideways at Yelu Hong and said, "Your Majesty, please take good care of my children."
Without waiting for Yelu Hong to agree, Princess Ronghua glanced at the two guards beside her and said proudly, "Let go! I can walk on my own! "
Princess Ronghua walked out calmly, and when she was about to step out of the door, a low male voice sounded from inside. "Wait!"
