I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 111 The Black Qiang are also preparing to take action.

Asuri prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Wang Yu—a bonfire party.

Night falls, a gentle breeze blows.

The sky is filled with stars, and the bonfire blazes on the ground.

A huge bonfire illuminated an area within the royal court as if it were daytime, and young Bai Qiang girls danced around the fire, offering greetings from the grasslands to the distinguished guests from the south.

King Asuri of Baiqiang sat in the main seat, flanked by his son Atuk and daughter Alde. Wang Yu sat beside him, while Zhao Shan and Zhao He sat behind him.

Yan Xiangxue did not attend and returned to her tent to rest. Gulanrena attended in her place, along with another female disciple of Yan Xiangxue, who sat together on the other side of Asuri.

"King of the West! Thank you for saving Master Yan. I'd like to offer you another toast!" Asuri raised his cup.

"You're too kind. Bai Qiang and the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion have always been on good terms." Wang Yu raised his cup in return.

A young woman from the Baiqiang ethnic group, dressed in her finest attire, brought out a plate of roasted mutton with a sharp knife stuck in it. She gently placed it in front of Wang Yu, her beautiful eyes looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes. "Your Highness~~~"

"Thank you." Wang Yu took the dagger, stuck a piece of mutton in it, and tore it apart in a few big bites.

"Your Highness is so generous!" Asuri's eyes were fixed on him, and he immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

Just as the Bai Qiang girl was about to sit down next to Wang Yu, Alde's beautiful eyes widened, and she tried to get up.

But before Alde could get up, a commotion broke out in the crowd. Several Bai Qiang men stopped a boy who seemed to be trying to rush in.

Wang Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately sensed the girl beside him shift her aura.

"That young man likes you." Wang Yu looked over there.

The girl bit her lower lip lightly, then immediately recovered, looked at Wang Yu with eyes full of emotion, and said, "But I don't like him. I like a great hero like Your Highness."

Wang Yu saw the allure in the girl's eyes, and the desire hidden deep within that allure.

Wang Yu glanced at the girl's slender waist and firm thighs and took a deep breath.

Should I become the main villain?

Just as Wang Yu was still thinking, Alde stood up and came over. "Go and appease your little lover. Don't cause any trouble at the bonfire party for our distinguished guests. I'll take care of Brother Zhao."

The girl was startled by what she heard. She glanced at Alde, but dared not argue with her. She quickly got up and hurriedly ran towards the boy from the side.

Alde sat down next to Wang Yu without any hesitation, took the sharp knife from Wang Yu's hand and cut the meat for him. While cutting, he explained, "The pieces of meat that have been served are too big. They need to be cut into smaller pieces to make them easier to eat. This knife is for cutting meat."

Wang Yu was speechless. He had struggled to chew that large piece of meat. "Why didn't you just cut it into smaller pieces?"

Aldette explained with a smile, "Because large pieces of meat can keep warm for a longer time, while small pieces cool down quickly and don't taste good."

The girl was the one who cut the meat for Wang Yu, but Wang Yu didn't know that. In order to show his generosity, he directly shoved a big piece of meat into his mouth.

Of course, some guests would prefer not to have someone else do the work and would cut the meat themselves, in which case the young woman serving the guests would pour them wine.

Although there was a slight disturbance, fortunately the problem was minor and was nipped in the bud by Alde. However, many people who were interested were shocked to see Alde personally sitting down next to Wang Yu and cutting meat for her.

This wildflower on the grassland has long captivated the hearts of countless young men from both the Black and White Qiang tribes, with many grassland warriors wanting to pluck it and take it home.

Although Alde is innocent and carefree, she never gets close to men. Even the most heroic young men in the tribe who can ride the fiercest horses, draw the strongest bows, and drink the strongest liquor cannot win her heart.

She was the daughter of the White Qiang King, a disciple of Granny Snow Mountain, and possessed high martial arts skills. Asuri doted on her, and no other youth could force her to do anything.

For the past two years, everyone has been wondering which athlete from the grasslands will be able to win this prize.

As a result, when they suddenly saw Alde sitting next to the King of the Central Plains, so close, and even personally cutting meat for him, countless Bai Qiang youths lost their composure.

Not to mention the Bai Qiang youths, even her father Asuli and elder brother Atuk were shocked, unsure whether to be happy or surprised.

The good news is that someone has finally taken a liking to my flowers.

What's astonishing is that this person is actually the Prince of Zhenxi from the Central Plains!

To be honest, the reputation of the King of Zhenxi among the Baiqiang tribes is quite polarized. Some people say that he was eccentric and arrogant in the capital, while others say that he punished corrupt officials and provided relief to the people after his return.

Asuri didn't know what Wang Yu's true nature was, but he must be extraordinary, especially since it was said that he had two queens!

Asuri's true intention was to marry his daughter to a simple-minded grassland man so that she wouldn't be bullied.

But when Asuri saw Alde sitting next to Wang Yu, smiling and chatting with him while cutting meat, he knew things were going to get complicated.

A bonfire party ended amidst the diverse thoughts of the participants.

On the other side, the Black Qiang royal court.

"Yan Xiangxue went back?" Shi Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"Is King Zhao Yu of Zhenxi also traveling with them?" King Yuan Dingle of Heiqiang asked in surprise.

Shi Mo and Yuan Dingle exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing disbelief.

"What does this mean?" Yuan Dingle asked.

Shi Mo lowered his head and pondered, but before he could figure anything out, the two old men beside him couldn't help but chime in.

-

The two old men were missing their right arm and left leg, respectively. They had sinister looks and cold eyes. They were the Su Hai Twin Stars who had been crippled by Zhao Zheng years ago.

"Zhao Yu went to Baiqiang in person?" Zhaixingzi raised an eyebrow and sat up straight.

"Was Zhao Rong with him?" Zhui Xingzi asked, while also describing Zhao Rong's appearance.

The Black Qiang warrior reported back, "Reporting to the senior, according to the inside accomplice, the King of Zhenxi is only accompanied by two unarmed guards, and there is no thin middle-aged man with a sword at his side."

The Black Qiang had scouts patrolling outside both Jinfeng and Lingwu Passes. Wang Yu's departure with three thousand Chengyuan soldiers could not be kept secret from the Black Qiang. However, they did not know who was in this army. Moreover, Lingwu Pass was even farther from the Black Qiang, so they could not send a large force to probe.

Fortunately, the Black Qiang had an inside agent within the White Qiang. After the bonfire party, news about this army, as well as the situation of Wang Yu and his guards, quickly reached the Black Qiang.

"Three thousand Chengyuan soldiers! They brought many large wagons, full of supplies, and I bet they also have heavy armor."

"Yan Xiangxue and Alde have both returned. It's been four months, and Yan Xiangxue is still alive. Could it be that her injuries have truly healed?"

"There shouldn't be, otherwise Zhao Yu wouldn't have needed to bring three thousand soldiers with him."

"That's right, that makes sense." Shi Mo nodded, then smiled. "He's quite bold. Does he think I'm still not healed after being stabbed by Ling Feiyun?"

Yuan Dingle chuckled and said, "It's a pity he doesn't know that Master Shi has esoteric elixirs. He's almost fully recovered by now."

Shi Mo possesses the strengths of the Central Plains, the Northern Frontier, and the Snowy Regions schools, but he is actually closer to Tantric Buddhism and has connections with several Tantric masters. Therefore, he has Tantric elixirs that can quickly heal injuries.

Zhaixingzi said to Shi Mo, "Your plan was indeed effective; Zhao Yu was lured out."

Zhui Xingzi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Let's go to the White Qiang Royal Court again. This time, we must kill that little dog!"

'

Shi Mo smiled slightly, "Brothers, please don't be in a hurry."

Zhaixingzi frowned in displeasure. "Does Brother Shi not dare to kill him?"

Chasing Stars snorted, "You don't dare to kill, but we do!"

Shi Mo shook his head. "Since I have invited the two of you out, there is no reason why I would not dare to kill him. However, this opportunity is rare, and we must achieve our goal in one battle."

"What do you mean?" Zhaixingzi asked.

Shi Mo said calmly, "He knows that you two have come to the grasslands, so he must have made full preparations. Zhao Rong may be hiding in the army, waiting for you two to step into the trap."

Even if I join forces with the two of you, that is, after all, the White Qiang Royal Court, and he has brought three thousand soldiers with him. If we fail in our first strike and he escapes back to Longshan Prefecture, wouldn't that be disastrous?"

Chasing Stars asked, "What do you want to do?"

Shi Mo narrowed his eyes. He had made himself perfectly clear, but these two old guys still didn't understand. No wonder they couldn't inherit the mantle of the Starry Sky Elder.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Iron Eagle Cavalry should be at Lingwu Pass right now, ready to provide backup," Shi Mo said. "If we alert him, the two of you will definitely not be able to kill him."

"But Zhao Yu misjudged me," Shi Mo chuckled. "He thought I was injured, and he thought I wouldn't dare let the Black Qiang and White Qiang fight each other head-on."

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of Yuan Dingle, the Black Qiang King. "Master Shi, is it time to make a move?"

Shi Mo nodded. "Zhao Yu is the sole heir of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. We must capture him this time. If all goes well, we might even be able to take Lingwu Pass along the way!"

At this point, Shi Mo looked at Zhaixingzi and Zhuixingzi and said, "Don't worry, if we kill that little dog in one go, it will be too easy for him. Once we catch him, we'll squeeze him dry and then hand him over to you two to do as you please."

Zhaixingzi's lips curled into a sneer. "A gentleman's word is his bond!"

Shi Mo nodded and smiled, "A swift horse, a whip!"

But just then, a Black Qiang warrior burst into the royal tent, shouting, "Your Majesty! The Xiongnu have arrived!"

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Why would the Xiongnu send people?" Yuan Dingle asked, puzzled and displeased. "Don't they consider themselves the legitimate rulers of the grasslands and look down on us Qiang people?"

Shi Mo then asked, "Who is this person?"

The Black Qiang warrior replied, "The visitor claims to be Yuwen Haojie, the chief disciple of Huyan Chi."

"What!?"

Not only Shi Mo, but even Zhai Xingzi and Zhui Xingzi couldn't help but gasp softly.

Huyan Chi, the leader of the three heroes of the grasslands, created the "Azure Divine Skill". His internal strength is powerful and domineering. He is the number one expert of the Xiongnu. It is said that he is infinitely close to the Grandmaster. Some people even say that he has already stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

Yuan Dingle dared not delay and hurriedly stood up, saying, "Please come in quickly!"
