Xuanxia

Chapter 939 Tit for tat
"No! We can't wait any longer!"

When Aiguli, Zulaiha and others arrived at the coach's tent, the situation inside was almost exactly the same as in the morning.

A group of generals surrounded Tiele who was sitting on the seat, spitting and trying to persuade him.

"Originally, apart from the dead, we had enough food, fodder and water to last another two days. Now, I'm afraid we won't even last until tomorrow night! Khan! Do you want our men to go to the battlefield hungry?"

"The Northern Frontier Army is coming! If you still don't plan to seize the Feixiong Tribe, then in my opinion, it's better to go east! To Yandu! At least you don't have to be attacked from both sides!"

"Great Khan, I have to ask one more question. Is that ancestor spirit really the ancestor spirit we worship? How come he can't even handle a bear spirit?!"

Hearing the last sentence, Tiele raised his eyebrows and slapped the armrest of the chair heavily: "How dare you! How daring!"

Huhebaji shut his mouth.

Of course, he was the one who said the disrespectful last remark.

Although he closed his mouth, he still looked unwilling and unhappy, with a dark face.

"Sweat profusely."

At this time, another old general spoke up: "I think what Huhebaji said is right."

Tiele turned away with a sullen face.

"You and the Great Shaman have been planning for a long time just to bring back the ancestral spirit. We all know this."

The old general said in a deep voice: "Of course we believe what you said... But Master Zuling's strength has not yet recovered. It would be a bit too arrogant to bet everything on him."

Tiele frowned and said, "According to General Hai Rigu's opinion, what should we do?"

In the corner of the big tent, Zulaiha whispered beside Ayiguli: "General Hairigu is the chief of the Cliff Eagle Tribe and the most senior general in the army."

Ayiguli nodded slightly.

"In my opinion, if the ancestor spirit has not returned by tomorrow..."

Hai Rigu said in a deep voice: "Then, we should either attack the Feixiong tribe immediately or break camp and leave immediately. We must not leave our backs to the Northern Frontier Army in this situation!"

"Disband camp and leave?"

Tiele shook his head and said, "It's still three hundred miles to Yandu. There are only a few small tribes along the way. Even if we eat warhorse meat all the way, how long can we survive?"

"So……"

Hai Rigu's tone became more serious: "We can only attack the Feixiong tribe by force."

At this time, Huhebaji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly echoed: "Why wait until tomorrow! If you want to fight, fight tonight!"

"no!"

The one who spoke was not Tiele or Ayiguli, but...

Zulayha.

She took a step forward and said sternly, "Absolutely not!"

This shout attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, everyone here recognized her.

Tiele had several sons but no daughters, and his niece was Beji, the most favored and highest-ranking person under the Ashina surname today.

Of course, this is also closely related to Zuleha's own practice. She is a shaman of the Yellow Sheep Tribe and has been recognized by the Great Shaman Huo Yaer as one of the most talented shamans of the Mesozoic Era. She may even have the opportunity to compete for the position of Great Shaman in the future!
No one dared to take her words lightly.

Aiguli didn't say anything, but her eyebrows twitched slightly.

The ancestor spirit was right again...

I had given Zulayha a heads-up and explained the interests involved in advance, so she took the lead at the critical moment.

"Zuleha, what are you doing?"

Huhebaji frowned and looked at him: "You don't understand the art of war!"

"Great Khan!"

Zulaiha ignored him and took a few steps forward to the center of the field. After bowing to Tiele, he said seriously, "The ancestor and the chief shaman are both in the Feixiong tribe, trying to appease the bear spirit. If we send troops and anger the bear spirit at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Before Tiele could say anything, Huhebaji couldn't hold back anymore. He was so angry that his face turned red: "Damn it, there are more than 100,000 people here! Whose life is more important?"

Zulaiha looked at him and said calmly, "Of course it's Master Zuling!"

"you!"

Huhebaji was furious and reached for the sword at his waist, but was held down by the two generals beside him. At the same time, the shamans brought by Zuleiha raised their staffs one by one in response to the pressure and tried to stop him.

"That's enough!" Tiele slapped the armrest again: "Shut up!"

After he shouted this, he started coughing violently, and the sound seemed as if he was coughing out his lungs.

Aiguli stood in the corner and watched coldly.

She could see that when Tiele coughed heavily, Zuleiha clearly gave him a concerned and nervous look.

But...those generals are different.

The way they looked at the Great Khan had become meaningful.

It was hard for Ayiguli to explain what that look was like. If she had to describe it, it was like the male wolves in a pack on the grassland looking at the old, injured leader...

They still respect the alpha wolf and are still afraid of it.

But they also know that the alpha wolf is no longer as strong, ferocious, and ambitious as it used to be... Does it really still have the ability to lead the wolf pack to hunt and roam the grasslands and forests?
At this time, for the future of the wolf pack, soon... a young and strong male wolf will challenge the alpha wolf.

Even more, those male wolves might rush forward together and tear the alpha wolf off the throne. In the end, the winners will then decide the new alpha wolf.

"So this is what Master Zuling planned."

Aiguli only had respect for Fu Qingzhou in her heart: "Not only is his strength beyond compare, but his grasp of human nature and thoughts has also reached the pinnacle..."

However, the generals at the moment would certainly not attack Tiele on the spot.

They just looked at each other with complicated eyes, waiting for Tiele to finish coughing.

"call……"

Tiele let out a long sigh, raised his head again, and said slowly: "Tonight, this Khan will find a way to contact the Great Shaman and inquire about the progress."

"I also promise you that I will give you a satisfactory answer before the food and grass in the camp are exhausted."

Having said so much, the generals had nothing to say.

But this time, they did not salute or respond, but just turned away with stern faces and left the coach's tent.

Tiele certainly saw all of this.

He didn't say anything, just rubbed his temples and lowered his head.

"What exactly is going on..."

"Why do I always feel that something is wrong..."

"But, Master Zuling, Huo Yaer... they have no reason to lie to me..."

"What exactly went wrong?"

In the tent, Zulaiha asked a few more questions to show his concern for Tiele's health, but Tiele didn't even raise his head. He just rubbed his temples, as if he was in deep thought.

Zulaiha had no choice but to apologize and leave.

After leaving the tent, Ayiguli immediately smiled and bowed to Zulaiha: "Thank you, Shaman Huangyang. Otherwise, if you really send troops tonight, Master Zuling and the Great Shaman will be in danger."

"Ugh……"

Zulaiha sighed deeply: "But this is not a solution... Do you have a way to contact the ancestor spirit?"

Ayiguli shook her head: "I can only find the ancestor spirit when he wants to find me."

"Be more careful."

Zulaiha's eyes flickered: "I'm afraid those generals won't be able to suppress it for much longer..."
