Love Lock

Chapter 107 The situation is a bit troublesome!
Princess Yujia pursed her lips and remained silent. But in her heart, she was secretly plotting to find an opportunity to see Zhao Zun.

At this moment, Boru spoke.

“Father Khan, although my sister’s idea is naive, there is some truth to it. Zhao Zun is resourceful and brave. If he could join our Turkic camp, he would be a great help to us. However, we need to act cautiously.”

Ashina glanced at Bolu and nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although his son was young, he was meticulous, decisive, and a rare talent.

Seeing that his father agreed with his idea, Bolu perked up and continued, "Father, we can first send people to secretly observe Zhao Zun's movements to confirm whether he has really fallen into despair. If he has, we will carry out our plan to turn him against us. Otherwise, we will take the opportunity to attack Beiguan."

Ashina simply nodded, offering no judgment on whether it was good or bad, and instead looked at General Albu: "Albu, what do you think?"

General Albu pondered for a moment and said, "The young prince is quite right. But didn't the Khan just say there was another piece of news?"

"Yes! That's right." Ashina also remembered this matter. "Another piece of news is that the newly appointed Marshal of Beiguan, Cao Xiong, promoted his deputy general to the position of garrison commander of Yong'an City, while the original garrison commander, Ma Cheng, was demoted to the position of centurion. Cao Xiong also returned to the Marshal's Mansion in Ling'an City."

"Is the news true?"

"The North Pass just changed its marshal and then its garrison commander?"

"Isn't this another great opportunity for us?"

Upon hearing this, Alpi, Boru, and Princess Yujia exchanged glances, each seeing an incredulous surprise in the other's eyes.

Yong'an City is one of the important defense lines of Beiguan. Now that the commander has been replaced, it will undoubtedly give the Turks an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"This is a great opportunity!" Bolu excitedly rubbed his hands together. "We can take advantage of the chaos caused by the change of commanders and generals in Beiguan and seize Yong'an City in one fell swoop!"

Ashina Khan nodded, thinking it was a good idea, and looked at General Albu.

"how do you feel?"

General Albu smiled slightly and said, "The Great Khan is wise. There is a famous saying in the Great Jing Dynasty: 'Opportunity knocks but once.' Although the various tribes do not have enough food and provisions, if we seize this opportunity to win a quick battle, there will be no problem at all."

"Yes, you're quite right." Ashina Khan slapped the leather armrest and stood up. "Then this matter is entrusted to you. The army must be ready by the end of the month to take Yong'an City in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, General Albu flicked his braid and straightened his chest in agreement.

"Yes! This humble general will certainly live up to the Khan's trust and vow to take Yong'an City!"

Princess Yujia watched them discuss the attack on Yong'an City, biting her lip and remaining silent, still pondering how she could see Zhao Zun.

Boru, who was standing to the side, became anxious when he saw that Alpi had received the military order.

"Father Khan, what about me? I can also share your burdens!"

He looked longingly at Ashina Khan, hoping to be assigned a mission to prove his bravery and worth.

"You?" Ashina glanced at him indifferently, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The meeting is over, you can go back now."

Upon hearing this, Boru felt a surge of disappointment and anger. He couldn't understand why he was always excluded from important matters by his father, the Khan. Was it simply because he was young?
Ashina looked at Bolu, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

His three sons all died at the hands of Zhao Zun and his son in Beiguan, leaving him with only this one son, so he was particularly concerned about having offspring.

He didn't want his youngest son to go to the battlefield and repeat the same mistake. He had only invited Boru to the meeting today to see if he had grown up. So, Ashina said calmly, "Boru, you are still young. You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to practice your martial arts well so that you can make a greater contribution to the tribe in the future."

As Bolu listened to Ashina Khan's words, his dissatisfaction and anger grew stronger.

Boru felt slighted and ignored. He said nothing more, only clenched his teeth, a sinister glint in his eyes. Then, he turned and walked out of the tent with his head down.

Boru suppressed his anger and hurried along. Back at his lodgings, he sat on the edge of his bed, his mind a turmoil of emotions…

………I am the alluring dividing line………

Night quietly falls on the capital city of Dajing.

When Wei Chengchao woke up again in a daze, he was already emaciated and on the verge of death.

The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's residence was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating. The servants hurried along, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.

Wei Chengchao lay on the bed, his body limp and weak, without even the strength to open his mouth.

He stared blankly at the rooftop, his unfocused eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

The maid carefully moistened the cloth strip with warm water and gently replaced the old cloth strip blocking his nostrils.

For the past few days, Wei Chengchao's nosebleeds have been flowing like a broken string of pearls, and he can't stop them no matter what he does.

They drank countless expensive medicinal herbs, but it was as if they had sunk into the sea without any effect.

Prime Minister Wei and his wife were frantic, like ants on a hot pan. They consulted almost every renowned doctor in the capital. The nose bled profusely, and doctors came in droves. They spent a considerable amount on medical fees, but none of the doctors could diagnose the problem.

Seeing his son's increasingly gaunt face, Prime Minister Wei's heart was breaking, and his wife was constantly in tears. These days, the entire Prime Minister's residence was shrouded in gloom and despair.

Just when the Prime Minister's residence was in chaos and almost in despair, Da Jiu, riding at top speed and covered in dust, finally appeared at the gates of the Prime Minister's residence.

Two attendants followed behind Da Jiu. Before even dismounting, Attendant A shouted, "Where is the young master? Quickly take us to see him. We have invited the divine physician."

The guards at the gate recognized the two servants, and upon hearing that they had brought back the divine physician, they quickly went inside to report to Prime Minister Wei.

Upon hearing the report, the Prime Minister and his wife immediately ordered the main gate to be opened wide, and the couple personally came out to welcome the divine physician.

Da Jiu, seated high on his horse, was dressed in a magnificent silk robe, his eyes looking up at the world with disdain.

Da Jiu carried an exquisite wooden box in his hand. The box was carved with intricate patterns, giving it an ancient and mysterious appearance.

When he left Taoyuan County, the girl specifically instructed him to pretend to be a divine doctor. Even if he couldn't quite pull it off, he had to at least give off the air of a divine doctor.

As expected, the Prime Minister and his wife were already anxious about their son's condition. When they saw Da Jiu's haughty demeanor and the fact that Attendant A said he was a specially invited divine physician, they hardly suspected anything and immediately treated Da Jiu as an honored guest, personally welcoming him into their residence.

Da Jiu sat down by Wei Chengchao's bedside, carefully observing Wei Chengchao's complexion and tongue coating, and then pretended to inquire about the details of his illness. The two servants beside him watched with twitching lips, but dared not utter a word.

"Your situation is a bit troublesome!" Da Jiu frowned, looking like it was a very difficult situation.

Even the renowned doctor said it's a bit troublesome?
