Chapter 614 The game between Bai Xiao and the Beiman Emperor
Concubine Xin was pacing back and forth, restless, and the bodyguard she secretly sent out to deliver the message never came back.
"It's the Queen. It must have been the Queen who stopped the news!"
What to do, what should they do? Do they really have to sit back and wait for the second prince to take the throne?
At this time, the Northern Man Emperor was interrogating Bai Xiao in a roundabout way.
"Back then, you disobeyed my father. My father was young and energetic at the time, and he accidentally hurt you in the heat of the moment.
Fortunately, you were lucky enough to survive. My father is very grateful to the benefactor who saved you. I wonder who he is?"
Bai Xiao looked at the Northern Barbarian Emperor meaningfully. He was young and energetic. He was impulsively injured by accident? Grateful? What a ridiculous word.
The Northern Man emperor felt guilty for a while when he saw him, but if he didn't understand these things, how could he dare to trust this son who had been hurt by him?
"Why don't you bring your benefactor to the palace? I can reward him with some gold, silver and jewels, so that he can have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life."
Bai Xiao felt funny in his heart. It seemed that the Northern Barbarian Emperor didn't know about what he had experienced in Yunxiao Kingdom, otherwise he wouldn't have said such ridiculous things.
Then he withdrew his gaze, frowned and said:
"My benefactor doesn't like liveliness, let alone strangers. It was a coincidence that he saved me back then. If you don't believe me, I can lead an army for you and invade the northern border."
The Northern Barbarian Emperor's eyes were profound:
"You haven't called me "Father" since you entered the palace, but do you want me to hand over the power of the army to you?"
Not only did he not call him "Father", he didn't even use "you", "you, you, you", was this the way he spoke to his father?
Bai Xiao asked back:
"If I call you father, will you dare to answer? Are you not afraid that I have ulterior motives?"
The Northern Man emperor's expression changed, but he did not get angry directly.
"Since we are talking about the purpose, then tell me, since you don't want to recognize me as your father, why are you returning to the royal family?"
Bai Xiao responded calmly:
"I want to have my own place in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and I can rely on myself!"
The Northern Barbarian Emperor sneered:
"If you don't want to be my son, why can you have a place in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom?"
Bai Xiao once again looked directly at the Northern Barbarian Emperor.
"Since I have the support of the four major tribes and half of the courtiers, even if I want to become king on my own, it is not impossible!"
"boom!"
The Northern Man Emperor was furious and slapped his palm on the table in front of him with such force that his own hand ached.
"You are so brave! How dare you say such treasonous words in front of me!
Do you really think that I can't do anything about those disobedient tribes?
Do you think that just by relying on the combined efforts of a few tribes, we can overthrow our Northern Barbarian royal family? That’s just nonsense!”
Instead of kneeling down to apologize, Bai Xiao actually laughed.
"Since ancient times, the truth has been hard to hear. The little prince must have never said anything disobedient to you, right? He did it directly behind your back, right?"
The Northern Barbarian Emperor was breathing heavily. Thinking of the prince whose life or death was still uncertain, he suddenly felt that Bai Xiao's words had some truth to them.
But how could he tolerate his own son being so arrogant towards him?
But before he got angry, Bai Xiao changed his words.
"If I can help you lead an army into the north, how about you give me Mu Qier's antidote?"
The Northern Man Emperor suddenly had an enlightenment. It turned out that the purpose of his son entering the palace was to seek an antidote for Mu Qier!
In this way, he thinks highly of this son, who is actually a loving son.
The Northern Man emperor was analyzing Bai Xiao's words to see how much was true and how false. A guard hurriedly came to report:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well. The Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom has arrived at the northern border of Yunxiao Kingdom!"
"What did you say?"
The Northern Barbarian Emperor stood up from his seat excitedly, "Jun Lingyun, is the imperial commander going on a personal expedition?"
The Northern Barbarians haven't attacked the Yunxiao Kingdom yet, so why did Jun Lingyun come in person?
"Is this news accurate?"
The guard knelt on the ground.
"Back to the Emperor, it is absolutely true that the army in the northern border of Yunxiao Kingdom is now shouting that they want to conquer our Northern Barbarian Kingdom!"
The Northern Barbarian Emperor was unsure and was beating wildly. What on earth was going on? The Yunxiao Kingdom had always resisted passively, so why did it take the initiative this time?
"Go to General Xuan Weiwu!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards quickly took the order, and the Northern Man Emperor turned his attention to Bai Xiao, who also had a shocked expression.
It is urgent now. If the four major tribes are not cooperating in the civil strife at this time, there is no guarantee that the Yunxiao Kingdom will not take advantage.
Once the situation is weak, it will be difficult to turn around.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for a minister?"
A general with a beard on his face was summoned.
The Northern Man emperor thought for a moment and then said:
"The Emperor of the Yunxiao Kingdom, Jun Lingyun, has come to invade our Northern Barbarian Kingdom. I order you to be the commander-in-chief and lead the army to the expedition!"
He paused and then said:
"The second prince is the deputy commander, assisting the mighty general!"
The Northern Man Emperor gave the order, but neither of them obeyed.
The mighty general couldn't digest the news for a while, the emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom, Jun Lingyun? Isn't that the bloodthirsty war god Jun Lingyun?
In the past, in their northern barbarian kingdom, none of the generals who faced Jun Lingyun came back alive.
Could it be that this time, he will also die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather?
"Mighty General!"
The Northern Man emperor frowned and recalled his thoughts. Only then did the mighty general react and quickly accepted the order.
"The last general takes command!"
After receiving the order, he was already thinking about how to go back and settle his family.
Bai Xiao said:
"I can assist the mighty general in his expedition, but please give me what I need first."
The Northern Man emperor did not agree.
"That's not what you said before."
He remembered that Bai Xiao had said that he would lead an army into the northern border of Yunxiao Kingdom in exchange for the antidote.
You haven't set off yet, and you need his antidote? Where in the world can such a good thing exist?
Bai Xiao said calmly:
"Today is different from the past. What's more, I have to listen to the command of the mighty general. How can I guarantee the result? Whatever the result is, it should all be the credit of the mighty general."
The mighty general frowned and was confused. What riddles were the emperor and the second prince playing? Why couldn't he understand?
"The mighty general will go ahead and assemble the army to prepare for attack!"
The emperor of the Northern Barbarians drove them away in a cold voice, and the mighty general had no choice but to retreat first.
Only the Northern Man Emperor and Bai Xiao were left here.
"You let Mu Qier come into the palace, and I will give her the antidote."
The Northern Man emperor thought that as long as Mu Qier came into the palace, he would hold Bai Xiao's seven inches.
Bai Xiao said helplessly:
"Your Majesty, your calculations are so loud that it's hard for me to pretend to be confused. Why don't I give you three choices?
First, let me be the commander-in-chief and lead the army. When I lead the army into the northern border of Yunxiao Kingdom, you will give me the antidote.
Secondly, you give me the antidote now, and I will serve as deputy commander to help gather the morale of the army for the mighty general. I am not responsible for whether we can invade the northern border.
Thirdly, let’s break up and work on our own merits.”
The Northern Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists. He really didn't make a mistake back then. This son was indeed a rebellious one!
