Taiyuan City.
Looking from afar, one could see a patch of blue between heaven and earth.
There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. It was so blue that it made one's heart feel a little bright.
Because of the big wedding, almost all the people in Taiyuan City had gathered here, ready to join in the fun. Most importantly, they could watch the Xiong Family's wedding banquet.
It was grand and luxurious.
There was a sea of people, and it was very lively.
It was like a super large gathering. Everyone's heads were gathered together, shaking their heads. It was a mighty sight, and the clamor was even more extraordinary.
The sound waves surged into the clouds, giving people an indescribable feeling of loftiness.
However, the crowd didn't affect the atmosphere of the Xiong family.
Because the Guanlong army had sent out nearly two thousand people, and they were all the best of the best. They were guarding the place, and the entire path was tightly sealed.
Not to mention a human, even a mouse couldn't walk in.
The red carpet in the middle of the road stretched all the way from Taiyuan Road to Taiyuan City, and then to the Xiong family's mansion.
Along the way, countless people were watching. The liveliness and the sea of people were really indescribable.
Rumble!
The time was almost up. The people heard a loud roar, and they all raised their heads to look in the direction of the grassland.
A group of cavalrymen that looked like dragons and tigers came whistling through the sky. The earth shook, and even the commoners seemed to feel it.
In the blink of an eye, the group of cavalry had arrived at the gate of Taiyuan City.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflict and arouse suspicion from both sides, there weren't many cavalry this time. There were only about five to six hundred people.
They roared and stopped in front of the open city gate.
At this time, the lieutenant guarding the city gate had also walked out of the city gate. He stood in front of a group of cavalrymen and cupped his hands towards the disguised Hudu Chanyu at the front.
"Taiyuan City East Gate Lieutenant Shen Zhuo welcomes the grassland Chanyu."
"The Prime Minister is ready in the city."
"Haha."
The disguised Hudu Chanyu could speak some Chinese. He stroked his beard and laughed.
"I can't wait any longer."
Pausing for a moment, he looked at the cavalry behind him and signaled to one of the generals with his eyes as he said with a smile.
"In order to show my sincerity and my trust in the Prime Minister, I will only bring two hundred people in today. The rest will stay at the city gate with this Lieutenant Shen Zhuo."
The reason he had left these people behind was to open the city gates. Only by opening the city gates would they be able to completely break through Sourcepeak City.
These were the original plans.
"Yes!"
Two generals stepped forward, dismounted from their horses, and cupped their hands at Hudu. Then, they withdrew their troops and stood on both sides of the city gate.
These two sides just so happened to form an invisible pincer attack on Shen Zhuo and the few soldiers who were guarding the city by his side. This way, it would be convenient for them to launch a surprise attack and kill them later.
However, their faces were filled with smiles and joy. They didn't look like they were going to kill anyone at all.
"Chanyu, please."
Shen Zhuo didn't see anything unusual. He moved aside and gave up his position, inviting Hudu Chanyu in. He didn't put up too much of a guard.
Hudu Chanyu was the Chanyu of the grasslands. With such a noble status, he only brought two hundred cavalry into Sourcepeak City. This was enough to show his attitude and his trust in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, this lieutenant didn't need to be vigilant anymore.
Even if this Chanyu really wanted to do something, the two hundred cavalry he led wouldn't be enough to do anything. The soldiers in Sourcepeak City were the elites of the Guanlong Army.
As long as these grassland cavalry acted rashly, they would be able to subdue all of them in the shortest time possible and even kill them all.
Therefore, he felt that these people were no longer a threat. He could generously send them into Sourcepeak City, which could also show the generosity of the people of Sourcepeak City.
Generosity.
It could also show the magnanimity and grandeur of the Xiong family.
Therefore, he didn't stop them or even check. He directly gave up all the convenience.
"Thank you."
The fake Hudu Chanyu couldn't hide the smile on his face. However, there wasn't much gentleness in this smile. Instead, it was a kind of hidden awe.
In his opinion, this general had done everything to confuse him.
Because Xiong Chengde wanted to harm Zhang Tie and the leaders of the prairie. Xiong Chengde wanted to lower Zhang Tie's vigilance and let Zhang Tie and his people walk in openly.
These guys were sinister.
However, it didn't matter. He already knew the other party's plan and was prepared. When he saw Xiong Chengde later, he would strike first and gain the upper hand.
He wouldn't let these guys have a chance to react and kill them all.
Then, he would massacre Sourcepeak City.
Da da! Da da!
As he thought this, the fake Hudu Chanyu pulled hard on the reins of his warhorse and led the group of people into Sourcepeak City.
The people on the city walls, the people on both sides of the road, and the commoners all looked excited and even curious. They scrutinized the fake Hudu Chanyu and the cavalry.
In their eyes, they had only seen ordinary grassland tribes and had never seen the real Hudu Chanyu. Therefore, they were very curious.
After all, Hudu Chanyu's status in the grassland was like the Great Zhou Emperor's status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was very interesting to be able to see the Emperor of the grassland. It was something worth bragging about.
The commoners squeezed together and kept cheering and making a lot of noise.
The crowd also kept moving along with Hudu Chanyu and the others.
Hudu Chanyu sat on his horse and felt the cheerful atmosphere in the city. The sinister look on his face became even more intense.
In his eyes, all of this was fake.
The commoners of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xiong family, and the people of Sourcepeak City all had a deep-rooted hatred for the tribes of the grassland. Even if the people of the grassland wanted to resolve it, it wouldn't be easy.
These people always wanted to destroy the grassland and make the people of the grassland their slaves. They wanted to be inferior to others.
This could be seen from the look in the eyes of the commoners.
They all looked as if they were looking at monkeys. In the depths of their hearts, they didn't treat the people of the grassland, including the fake Chanyu, as real people.
They treated them as objects to be admired.
This was the greatest insult.
"Soon, you will see how the people of the grassland look like when they wield their blades."
The fake Hudu Chanyu glanced coldly at the commoners on the street as he thought to himself sinisterly and viciously.
He gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist and sped up his horse.
In just a quarter of an hour, the fake Hudu Chanyu had arrived at the Xiong Family's residence with a large number of cavalrymen, as well as some tribal elders and leaders.
The Xiong family's residence was the place where the wedding ceremony was about to begin. The decorations were extremely grand and magnificent.
At this moment.
There was no other color at the entrance of the Xiong family's residence.
Everything was red as far as the eye could see.
From the top of the gatehouse to the two sides, to the walls on the left and right, everything was wrapped in red silk cloth. Even the steps were covered with red carpets.
On the left and right of the residence's entrance were two rows of maids dressed in beautiful red clothes. They were neatly arranged in two rows, ready to welcome the people who were about to get married.
Of course, behind these maids were the guards in charge of maintaining order, just in case.
Although they were all wearing armor and weapons, they were also wearing red silk cloth on their waists. Although their expressions were still cold, there was a sense of gentleness in them.
Xiong Chengde was standing at the entrance of the residence at this moment.
His hands were behind his back. There was an indescribable coldness and a faint pride on his face as he waited for the arrival of Hudu Chanyu and the others.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He had also been planning for a long time.
Today, as long as the wedding ceremony was successfully completed, everything would start anew. The Xiong family and the grassland would join forces. The Guanlong army and the grassland cavalry would join forces. The Great Zhou Dynasty would immediately fall apart.
The Qinzhou army would definitely not be able to stop the Guanlong army and the grassland cavalry.
As for the Eastern Depot Supervisor, the young Emperor who sat in the imperial court and did not know about the world's affairs and only knew how to study, he would eventually become a part of the Great Zhou Dynasty's history.
Everything would be rewritten by Xiong Chengde.
"In the future, I will unify the Great Zhou Dynasty and the world."
"I will completely write a new chapter in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Xiong Chengde looked at the procession that was gradually appearing in the distance. The smile on his face grew even wider, almost escaping from the corners of his eyes.
There was an indescribable sense of anticipation and excitement on his face.
"Prime Minister!"
In the blink of an eye, a group of cavalrymen escorted Hudu Chanyu to the front of the crowd. They also arrived at the luxurious and glorious residence of the Xiong family.
The door was wide open. Xiong Chengde stood on the steps with a joyful look on his face.
The fake Hudu Chanyu dismounted from his horse, then clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Xiong Chengde.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
As a Chanyu of a grassland tribe, he was equivalent to an Emperor on the grassland. An Emperor was a supreme being who was worshipped by tens of thousands of people.
Bowing to Xiong Chengde at a time like this was already a gift from the heavens.
"Ha ha … Hudu Chanyu, you are too polite. Please."
Xiong Chengde was very satisfied with Hudu Chanyu's actions. He had been afraid that Hudu Chanyu would not bow to Xiong Chengde due to his status.
He had never expected that Hudu Chanyu would be so humble. This made Xiong Chengde even more convinced that he should form an alliance with the people of the grassland.
Xiong Chengde could see the sincerity in his actions.
As he thought about this, Xiong Chengde walked down the steps gracefully. As the host, the head of the Xiong Family, and Xiong Dai's father, he had to display his own etiquette at a time like this.
He arrived in front of Hudu Chanyu and placed his hands on his shoulders, preparing to help him up.
A wide smile appeared on his face.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
He said with a smile as he helped Hudu Chanyu up.
"The Old Man has been waiting for this day for a long time. Becoming in-laws with the Chanyu, forming an alliance between Guanlong and the grassland, and working hard to dissolve the hatred that has existed for thousands of years will definitely be a grand occasion that will go down in history."
"Our names will definitely be written in the annals of history."
"Regardless of whether it is for Guanlong or the grassland, this will be … a great service!"
Xiong Chengde was really happy.
Apart from his passion for imperial power and his desire to fight for the world, Xiong Chengde also really wanted the world to be stable. He wanted the people of the grassland and Guanlong to live in peace.
This was his dream as a scholar.
It was also the dream of a person who truly cared about the world.
Therefore, he was also looking forward to the promotion and completion of this matter. He had really put in all his effort.
This was his ultimate dream.
"A great service?"
Hudu Chanyu slowly raised his head as Xiong Chengde spoke. Then, a cold smile appeared on his face. There was also a trace of malevolence that could not be concealed.
Ferociousness.
Killing intent.
This feeling was like a vicious wolf on the grassland that had seen its prey.
Then, it was ready to bare its fangs.
At this moment, Xiong Chengde was in a daze. He even felt a sudden panic and panic from his back.
He stiffened for a moment.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed. Then, a machete suddenly appeared in Hudu Chanyu's right hand.
Puff!
This machete was so direct and clean. It was directly inserted between Xiong Chengde's chest and abdomen. Thick blood splattered and instantly dyed the ground red.
It also dyed Xiong Chengde's clothes red.
"You …"
Xiong Chengde felt intense pain. More than that, he felt fear and a kind of daze that he could not believe.
He didn't know what had happened, nor did he know what was going on. Why did a wedding that had originally been planned, something that could resolve the grudge between the grasslands and Guanlong for so many years, suddenly become like this?
What was going on?
Why did Hudu Chanyu suddenly attack him?
He was completely confused.
"Ah …"
"Murder …"
"Quick, someone come and catch them …"
While Xiong Chengde was in a state of panic, he heard a sharp cry. It was the guards of the Xiong Family Mansion who had discovered that something was wrong here and began to rush over in a frenzy.
"Minister, do you want to have a great service? Do you want to destroy the grassland so that you can have a great service? Wishful thinking! "
"Today, I will massacre Taiyuan City!"
"I will make you a sinner forever!"
Hudu Chanyu moved closer to Xiong Chengde's ear and said coldly.
