Xueyue Zhiyong's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at the positive wolf seal.

After a long while, he finally said coldly, "Have you confirmed the authenticity of the seal?"

Elder Chai bowed quickly, his tone respectful and cautious.

"To the clan leader, I have checked it immediately and the wolf seal is indeed authentic. It also belongs to the second prince Huyan Tuochi. It is definitely not fake."

"Very good." After saying that, Xueyue Zhiyong excitedly slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacup to shake continuously.

He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as knives.

"Come here, gather all the elders in the tribe immediately to discuss the matter!"

"Yes!" Several guards quickly took the order and dispersed.

Elder Chai watched the guards leave, a gleam of light in his eyes.

He lowered his voice.

"Chief, if this news reaches the royal court, An Wenkang's good days will probably be over."

Xueyue Zhiyong seemed not to hear anything and just waved his hand lightly.

"Let's talk about it after everyone arrives."

Seeing this, Elder Chai had no choice but to sit down awkwardly, not daring to say anything more.

Soon, the elders arrived one after another, with different expressions on their faces.

Following closely behind is Blood Moon Eagle.

Unlike the others who were dressed in leather armor, he was dressed in plain clothes and looked gentle and refined.

Xueyue Zhiyong raised his eyes, glanced at his son, and nodded slightly.

After the Battle of Dingxi, Blood Moon Yingxiang "disappeared".

This was arranged by Xueyue Zhiyong, firstly to downplay the impact of the defeat, and secondly to inspire the fighting spirit of the tribe members.

As the saying goes, an army in despair wins. During that period, the morale of the Blood Moon tribe was high and their killing intent was high because they had lost their young chief, and they defeated Angel step by step.

Now that the war is about to fall into a stalemate again, Blood Moon Yingxiang will be "found" in due time, but the outside world will still tell him that he is seriously injured and has not recovered.

"Is everyone here?" Xueyue Zhiyong retracted his gaze and gently placed the letter on the table, "Everyone, please take a look at this letter first."

The bewildered elders came forward one after another, and when they saw the contents of the letter, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Chief," an elder couldn't help but speak out, with a hint of shock in his voice, "Is this letter...really credible?"

Xueyue Zhiyong closed his eyes and remained silent.

Elder Chai standing by hurriedly stood up and recounted the whole story in detail.

After he finished speaking, the meeting room quickly became lively.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone couldn't help but feel happy.

"Great!" An elder stood up and slammed the table, his eyes full of joy, "Huyan Tuochi finally showed up, and he is in Angel. Now we have both witnesses and evidence. If the news gets to the royal court, that old thief An Wenkang will be dead for sure!"

"That's right!" Everyone echoed, "Even if he doesn't die, the whole Angel will be in trouble."

The Second Prince has always been a thorn in the side of the Prairie King. Even if there is no definite evidence, as long as there is any news about Huyan Tuochi, the royal court will not be able to help but send troops to kill him.

What's more, now Huyan Tuochi has actually gotten involved with the large Angel tribe, which the royal court cannot tolerate.

Xueyue Zhiyong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a torch: "The Xinhe people will naturally be handed over to the royal court."

Tuoba Cheng, who was sent by the royal court, has been staying in the Blood Moon doing nothing. Now it is time to find something for this right bone to do, so that he doesn't always eat for free.

"But Angel, you can't fall down yet."

Everyone was stunned, then they understood.

The grassland king Huyan Hongliang has always been ambitious. He used to say that the reason why all the grassland tribes joined together to march east to Yunchui was to conquer that rich land and ensure an eternal future for the grassland people.

But now it seems that unifying the entire grassland is his real goal.

If Angel falls, Blood Moon might become the next target.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment. Although everyone was unwilling, they could do nothing about it. At this time, Blood Moon Yingxiang slowly stood up with a smile on his face.

"My dear uncles, Angel is fickle and has colluded with Yunchui to damage our troops. It can be said that everyone present here has had clansmen or even relatives die at their hands. This hatred is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. I, Blood Moon, will take revenge."

"But as Dad said, they can't fall down just yet."

However, just because it can survive doesn’t mean it can’t weaken.

He paused, then turned to face Xueyue Zhiyong who was in the lead.

"Father, the royal court will surely put pressure on Angel once they learn of this. We can take this opportunity to shrink the battle line and wait and see what happens."

"At the same time, we might as well make contact with the Yanhui Legion in the east."

"Contact the Yunchui people?" An elder snorted coldly, his tone full of resentment, "The Yunchui people are cunning and shameless. Cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger! What is there to talk about?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet conference room became even more silent, with one could hear a pin drop, and many people looked unhappy.

Two months ago, Blood Moon fought a fierce battle with Angel's army to the west of Lao Luoxi.

In fact, they had a slight advantage in that battle.

As a result, Tian Hongyan led his army directly to the east without making any noise, forcing Xueyue to allocate part of his troops to guard against it.

In the end, they missed the opportunity to fight, which led to a stalemate between the two sides and the deaths of many tribesmen.

Blood Moon Yingxiang smiled slightly, his tone calm.

"My dear uncles, although the people of Yunchui are as cunning as foxes, one thing is certain. They have always regarded themselves as the Celestial Empire and are more accustomed to internal fighting. They do not have the cultural tradition of wantonly fighting against foreign enemies."

"Or to put it bluntly, they regard us as barbarians and do not value the land here at all."

"This..." As soon as these words were spoken, the huge conference room was filled with embarrassment.

But no one said anything.

Including Xueyue Zhiyong, all of them found that they thought so in their hearts.

Seeing that no one responded, Blood Moon Ying Xiang coughed lightly before continuing.

"In my opinion, the Yanhui Corps's coming west this time is just a bluff, and they may not have the intention of going to war with the tribes on the grassland."

"Or maybe they are simply trying to find out whether our grasslands are faking a war, and then guard against us gathering together to march east again."

Otherwise, the entire army would not have stopped and behaved itself when Tian Hongyan reached the east of the blood moon.

"In this case, we might as well set up a defense line with them to prevent misjudgment; at the same time, we can exchange what we have with each other to solve our urgent need for supplies."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a murmur in the conference room.

Although the elders were wary of the Yunchui people, they also understood that what Xueyue Yingxiang said made sense.

Especially since no caravan had passed by the Blood Moon for a long time, the tribe had long been in urgent need of various materials including medicine, salt, cloth, etc. At the same time, the tribe was also filled with cattle and sheep skins, wool, dried meat and other goods that needed to be processed urgently.

Now the Yunchui people are not far to the east, and maybe after they start talking, the two sides will hit it off as they did before.

"Young Patriarch is right," an elder immediately stood up, "but... who should we send to negotiate with Tian Hongyan?"

In Dingxi County, the two sides had fought to the death, leaving countless bodies behind. What if Tian Hongyan was narrow-minded and chopped the newcomer to death? Who would he cry to then?

"Not really." Blood Moon Eagle shook his head. "When two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. This is a rule set by the Yunchui people themselves. No matter what, they will not violate these views that seem old-fashioned to us. Uncles, please rest assured."

Elder Chai looked around and quickly stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "Chief, I am willing to go to the Yanhui Corps to help the clan."

Although he is called an elder, he has just been promoted.

Moreover, compared with other people in the conference room, he has the youngest seniority, otherwise he would not have been sent to the outermost grassland to lead patrols.

But also because of this, we were lucky enough to capture the enemy's young patriarch, which is also a blessing.

Xueyue Zhiyong's heart moved and he nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

A hint of joy flashed in Elder Chai's eyes, and he quickly agreed.

Foreign trade has always been the most profitable, and the original elder has died in battle, so this is his chance to take over. (End of this chapter)
