Chapter 750 Exposure

Yankuo Fortress, guarding the general's mansion.

"General," a guard walked in quickly and saluted, "Military report from Pegasus Hill."

Huo Ling nodded slightly and took it.

He knew that Feimaopo was the temporary base of the Yanhui Corps after they entered the grassland.

Pegasus and running deer, these two names imply a certain connection.

In fact, the Benlu tribe did settle in Feimaopo in their early years.

However, this place is too close to the large Blood Moon tribe. The tribe members could not bear the disturbance and had no land to raise cattle and sheep, so they moved east to its current location.

Although Pegasus was chosen as the tribal settlement, its geographical location is not superior, but at least there is enough drinking water for people and livestock around it.

Because of this, when Tian Hongyan led 30,000 troops into the grassland, he also took a fancy to this place.

"How is the situation over there, Tian Hongyan?"

General Kong Chunhui of the Yingling Legion was usually a bit cynical in front of his acquaintances, but at this moment he came over with great interest.

Huo Ling did not answer, but just handed over the general report.

uh~

Kong Chunhui read carefully and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Blood Moon sent envoys to request demarcation, truce, and resumption of trade, and also sent a large number of troops to survey resources everywhere."

Phew.

He suddenly chuckled.

"Xueyue Zhiyong has spent all his family's wealth, right? Besides, the grassland is bare everywhere, what resources can there be?"

Having said that, his professional ethics as a legion commander made him quickly put away his smile and his expression turned serious.

"Old Huo, I'm afraid we can't keep the secret from Kailun Stone Forest anymore."

As for grassland resources, Kong Chunhui is not too worried.

The people of Xiliang are not good at this, and even if they find a mineral vein, mining and smelting will require a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

By the time it is really put to use, the survival of Blood Moon will be uncertain.

Huo Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced across the Desert of No Return on the map.

"Although everyone tried hard, it was only a matter of time before it could be hidden."

Not only the Kailun Stone Forest, but also the fact that the current Queen Yunchui was born in the Kailun tribe will be known to the people of Xiliang sooner or later.

But since he had decided to play the Hu Yantuochi card, he was mentally prepared.

"Someone, send a letter to Pegasus..."

----

Xiliang Prairie, Blood Moon Station.

"Emergency military information, make way immediately!"

Accompanied by urgent shouts, two fast horses galloped from the north, rolling up dust.

The guard looked in the direction of the voice and was immediately shocked.

The man's clothes were disheveled and his body was covered in blood. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.

After a simple identity check, they immediately removed the roadblocks.

Soon, two engineers were kneeling in Xueyue Zhiyong's golden tent.

"what's the situation?"

"Headmaster," the leader said in a hoarse voice, "I was ordered to lead a team of 15 people to the north to explore for minerals. When we were a thousand miles away, we encountered the patrolling eagles of the Kailun tribe. They were ruthless and each move was fatal. Only the two of us managed to escape."

"Say it again, what tribe?" Blood Moon Yingxiang, who rushed over after hearing the news, was incredulous.

The two young engineers looked at each other, touched their chests and said solemnly: "Reporting to the young clan leader, my brothers and I have repeatedly risked our lives to get close to confirm that the people near the Bugui Desert are definitely the Kailun tribe."

Blood Moon Yingxiang was speechless for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He asked a few more detailed questions before waving his hand and letting the two leave.

Soon, the meeting room was filled with Blood Moon’s top leaders.

Upon hearing the news, the elders looked at each other in disbelief.

Xueyue Zhiyong ignored him and turned his gaze to Elder Chai.

"You have arrived at Feimaopo. How are the negotiations going?" Elder Chai stood up hurriedly, unable to hide his smug look.

"Chief Hui, I have successfully met General Tian of the Yanhui Army. He is quite easygoing. After hearing about our purpose, he immediately agreed to withdraw the garrison 80 miles."

As he said this, he spread his hands and laughed.

"It's interesting to say that General Tian originally wanted to retreat a hundred miles, but the Yunchui people prefer the number 'eight', so they decided on eighty miles."

"In addition, he has agreed in principle to resume trade between the two countries as soon as possible and to protect the merchant caravans. However, the specific details are still under discussion. I believe that there will be good news in a month or so."

snort!

Xueyue Zhiyong stared at the map and snorted unhappily.

idiot!

Is the Yanhui Corps willing to retreat eighty miles?

Although Tian Hongyan seems generous, in fact, the most important water source of Feimapo is still under his control.

Eighty miles may seem far, and the Yanhui Corps sounds sincere, but this distance is only a stone's throw away on the flat grassland.

Whether it was some of the Blood Moon's affiliated settlements or the open-pit iron mines in the southeast, they were all within the reach of its troops.

It can be said that you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

However, it is a good thing to restore trade and alleviate the scarcity among the tribe.

As for Kailun...

Xueyue Zhiyong's gaze fell back on the Desert of No Return. Looking at the location of Kailun Stone Forest just marked on the map, his brows couldn't help but frown again.

As luck would have it, that place was right above their heads.

"Father," Blood Moon Yingxiang stared at the map with gritted teeth.

"Back then, the entire grassland decided to march east collectively. All small and medium-sized tribes had only two choices: follow or perish. I don't know where Kailun slipped out from, but he managed to survive until now. It would have been fine if they didn't just hide, but they actually showed up and killed my people. They simply don't know how to live or die!"

"Your son suggests that we send troops to wipe them out immediately to boost the reputation of our Blood Moon!"

“No hurry.” Xueyue Zhiyong raised his hand to stop him and looked around at the people in the tent with different expressions.

"Here is some of the latest information about Yunchui. You may want to take a look first."

After saying this, he signaled his guards to distribute the documents.

Blood Moon Ying Xiang and the elders looked at each other in bewilderment, but they had no choice but to read on patiently. Soon, exclamations were heard in the tent.

"What? The new Emperor Yunchui is not one of the eight sons of Emperor Changxing, but is from the Xingluo Legion?"

Tsk tsk.

"This emperor is truly amazing! He has led his troops to fight in the western grasslands, southern jungles, eastern vast seas, and even the northern snowfields. And he has fought tough battles. Most importantly, he has been invincible and undefeated!"

"real or fake……"

"Don't believe it? Take a look at this information!"

boom!

Amidst the chaos, an elder excitedly slammed the table and stood up.

"Everyone, what do those old stories have to do with us? Look at the new queen!"

cut.

Everyone curled their lips and didn't care at all.

The queen is nothing more than the daughter of a powerful official, a political marriage.

But when they saw the content clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Impossible! Empress Yunchui is from the Kailun tribe?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

The elders all came closer to take a closer look, and some were so shocked that they fell to the ground.

Women of other races cannot be queens.

This was Yunchui's unwritten rule, and now it had been broken.

"As you can see," Xueyue Zhiyong, who was sitting at the head of the group, concluded calmly, "The tentacles of the new Yunchui Emperor have already reached the grassland."

The elders exchanged glances, and although they found it unbelievable, they had to nod in agreement.

Blood Moon Yingxiang, who was standing next to him, felt very uncomfortable and his face was burning.

Just a few days ago, he swore that the Yunchui people regarded the grassland as barbarians and had no interest in the land under their feet, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.
