In the past few months, both Chen and Chu have sent troops into the grassland to wipe out some small and medium-sized tribes, but they only operate within a 100-mile radius and dare not go too far.

The Wanyan tribe, which had unified the Sushen tribes, has been withstood for the past few months, until a few days ago, it suddenly appeared north of Yinshan. The soldiers and horses of Chen and Chu were caught off guard and suffered considerable losses.

Among them, news that a general of Chen State was captured alive by Wanyan's troops and was about to be executed publicly was spread a few days ago.

For Chen Chu, this is undoubtedly a tribe that kills the chicken to warn the monkey. The Sushen tribes, the closest tribe to Wanyan's main tribe, and the first tribe who received the news, had arrived a few days ago and was preparing to watch the biggest event these days.

Wanyan Khan has been feeling unwell in recent days, so the matter is left to the eldest prince to handle it in full.

Somewhere in the grassland, in the central tent.

An envoy of Chen State stood in the tent and bowed: "General Xiao and all the soldiers fell into the hands of your troops. I, Chen State, are willing to exchange the lives of General Xiao and all the soldiers for three times the price of prisoners of war. I hope your troops will agree."

He spoke the language of Sushen people, and everyone in the venue could understand it.

The eldest prince sat at the top and sneered: "Our compatriots, we will rob them sooner or later. If you dare to kill one person, we will slaughter a whole city. If you dare to kill two people, we will slaughter two cities. If you kill a hundred people, I will kill all of you Han people..."

The messenger said solemnly: "This is something that is beneficial to both parties. I hope the eldest prince will not act irritably."

The eldest prince waved his hand and said, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."

He looked out of the tent and said, "Come, pull these people out and cut them down."

Several envoys of Chen State changed their faces and immediately said: "When two countries are fighting, they will not be killed, you..."

The eldest prince smiled and said, "This is your rule. For us, as long as it is an enemy, there is nothing that cannot be killed..."

"Slow down."

When several guards walked in and wanted to drag the few people down, a figure stood up.

Wanyan Yan glanced above and said, "We also had a negotiation with Chen State. Now that we have killed the envoys of Chen State, they will kill us grassland envoys in the future. When the two countries fight, they will not kill the envoys. This is the rule that everyone should abide by. The Han people say we are unreasonable barbarians. Do we really want to prove that they are right?"

The tribal leaders in the tent looked at each other a few times and nodded.

"What the Fourth Princess said."

"The messenger cannot kill..."

"This rule must be said, we are not barbarians..."

...

The eldest prince looked down and frowned. Even he could not ignore the opinions of so many people and insisted on his own.

He looked at Wanyan Yan with dissatisfaction and waved his hand: "I'll spare your life today, get out of here."

Seeing this, several envoys from Chen did not say much. After looking up, they slowly withdrew from the account.

A man in the lead sighed and murmured: "This is simply a group of uncivilized barbarians, what should I do..."

A sensation behind him looked complicated and said, "General Xiao is probably in danger this time."

In the tent, the eldest prince looked at everyone and said, "Tomorrow will be a grand ceremony for execution. That man captured so many of our compatriots. If he didn't kill him, he would not be able to vent his anger. I want to use his head to shock Chen Chuxiao. My grassland is not a place where they can be arrogant!"

"Let's go." Wanyan Yan looked at him again and said, "The threat of Heiman is still there. At this time, we should not make any grudges with Chen Chu. If they anger them and attack Heiman on both sides, how can we win?"

"After returning from Chu State, Yan'er's courage seemed to have become smaller. Could it be that she was scared by the group of four-legged sheep?" The eldest prince looked at her and said, "War is a man's business. What do you women know? The enemy is in front of you. There are so many tribes in your hands. It's better to hand them over to your brother. Those warriors are much more useful in my hands than in your hands."

Wanyan Yan glanced at him and said, "Brother, let's talk to his father about this."

A hint of displeasure appeared on the prince's face and waved his hand: "There is no need to discuss the matter of punishment. At noon tomorrow, the appearance of the account..."

Wanyan Yan was about to say something else, but was persuaded by everyone around her.

"Princess, the eldest prince is right, don't say it anymore."

"We have a blood feud with Chen Chu, and it cannot be saved..."

"Yes, if they don't shock them this time, they will only become more serious next time!"

...

After a while, Wanyan Yan walked out of the tent, looked unhappy, and the woman with a bow on her back stood outside the tent, looked at her, and said, "The eldest prince wants to use this incident to cover up the limelight of the third prince. He will not listen to the princess."

Wanyan Yan sighed lightly and said, "What my brother is thinking is that the tribe in my hand is the Khan's seat."

The woman with a bow looked at her and said in confusion: "Why didn't the princess tell Khan about his repeated assassination of the princess?"

"What can I do if I say something without evidence?" Wanyan Yan shook her head and said, "Check it out and we'll go back."

The woman with a bow on her back said in surprise: "I won't watch the execution tomorrow?"

Wanyan Yan waved her hand and said, "I won't watch it anymore."

The woman with a bow on her back thought for a while and said, "Princess, please stay for another day. I am afraid that the eldest prince will take advantage of the situation again. Khan is sick these days. Please be careful in everything and don't give the eldest prince any chance..."

Wanyan Yan thought about it, nodded helplessly and said, "Listen to you."

...

The Wanyan Department, outside the main department's commander's tent, has built a platform.

Today is the day for a general of Chen Guo to be executed publicly. There are rows of seats on the stage, and leaders of nearby tribes gathered together to wait for the execution to begin.

The woman with a bow on her back stood behind Wanyan Yan, shook her head and said, "I have seen General Chen. She is very handsome and dies like this. It's a pity."

Wanyan Yan was upset and didn't say anything.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked up to the platform under the escort of the two life guards.

Xiao Jue was listless. Although he had not suffered any special abuse in the past few days, he was not very good at eating or sleeping. When he walked onto the stage, he had no strength.

He simply sat on the ground, with his head hanging down, with no fear on his face, but there was a little regret and regret in his eyes.

What I regret is that I didn’t listen to Tang Ning and acted in a low-key manner. What I regret is that I haven’t gotten married to Lu Ya yet, and the incense of the Xiao family will eventually be stopped by him.

What happened in the first half of his life flashed through his mind.

When he was a child, he fell into the ice lake to save Lu Ya and was ridiculed by others. Lu Ya stepped forward and stood up for him, and then bullied him even more than they did...

Then after Tang Ning came to Beijing, his chronic illness was cured, and he passed the imperial examination first place, and he harmed the capital with him. He believed his nonsense and was taken away by Lu Ya...

As these scenes flashed through his mind one by one, the sound of grassland people croaking were already heard below.

The man behind the eldest prince looked at the sky, looked down, and shouted: "The time is here, execution is performed!"

The executioner on the stage turned off the collar around his neck to avoid affecting the blade when beheading his head.

Xiao Jue's collar was roughly opened, revealing a pendant on his chest.

This pendant is a wolf tooth, worn with an ordinary rope, and looks very rough.

On the stage, Wanyan Yan glanced at her and could no longer look away.

The next moment, she quickly walked to the stage and pulled off the wolf teeth pendant on Xiao Jue's chest. When she saw a small word "Yan" carved on it, she looked at him again and asked blankly: "Where did this come from?"

The eldest prince stood up, looked at her, frowned and said, "Yan'er, come down quickly."

Wanyan Yan turned a deaf ear to his words and still stared at Xiao Jue tightly.

The eldest prince looked at the people behind him and said, "Take her down and execute her sentence quickly!"
