Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

181. The Turk Was Taking Actions

Translator: Sagocream

“So, from what you see, do you think the people from the Turk are behind this?” The Emperor said. To be honest, he didn’t want to see the Turk behind this. But thinking about the behavior of the people in Manlou robbing food this time, he could guess why the Turk did this.

Something like this had happened before when the government was transporting food, but the government only regarded it as ordinary robberies. But if the Emperor knew he was using his own food to support the enemies, he could never accept it.

“Father, it doesn’t matter whether the power of the Turk is behind this or not,” Yuxing Tianrui stood up and said in a low voice, “This is an opportunity for us to fight back!”

Hearing this, not only the Emperor, even Yuxing Wei who was still standing nervously beside was shocked. They all turned to look at Yuxing Tianrui. Yuxing Tianrui said slowly, “In the last time’s fight, although we defeated the Turk, they didn’t really get demolished. They were resting and recuperating themselves.”

“It has only been a few months and now they are short of young and stong soldiers. If we don’t take this opportunity to destroy them, it will be a hard time for us when they come back with full energy. Manlou is the one who delivers this opportunity to us.”

It had to be said that Yuxing Tianrui’s words made the Emperor excited. He wanted to make some achievements. This way, after he was dead in the future, when he met his royal ancestors, he could also say without any pressure that he had done his best for Shenglan country!

“This matter has to be considered properly. The two of you can leave first.” Though he also wanted to have a fight with the Turk, the Emperor would not immediately agree. After all, the army needed some preparation. Needless to say, he had just sent a minister’s daughter to the Turk a while ago, so he still had to ask for the opinion from the Zhao Family.

Yuxing Tianrui did not care about what the Emperor thought. After he was out, he took Ada back to East Palace and shared what he just got with Du Chuxuan. Du Chuxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, “I’m about to search every corner of Shenglan country while they are not in Shenglan?”

It was hard to accept. It was just like you wanted to challenge someone, then you made enough preparations, warming up, exercising, and improving your strength, but in the end, you realized that the opponent didn’t accept your challenge at all. It was totally unacceptable.

“I think this might not be bad,” Yuxing Tianrui shook his head and pointed at the air. “They were once in the dark but they have been exposed now. Then things will become easier.”

“Do you want the people from Sect Luo to try on the Turk?” When Du Chuxuan heard the news, his first reaction was to ask his junior for help. He hoped that his junior didn’t get along with the Manlou. He knew that if the two armies came to a fight, they would be lots of casualties, which he didn’t want to see.

“That should be the case,” Yuxing Tianrui nodded. If the power of Manlou could be disintegrated from the inside, the Turk should also suffer great loss. Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened. “I’m a little grateful for Zhao Zheng’s shamelessness.”

The two of them thought of the same thing. Because of Zhao Zheng, they left a spy around the First Prince. It should be the time for the spy to play his role.

In the imperial palace of the Turk, Ashina Yi looked at the chess piece in his hand while listening to his subordinate’s report and couldn’t help but snort, “That idiot! Such a fool!”

How could he not know what Manlou was? This had always been a hidden force in the hands of the Turk Royal Family. However, it was not easy to raise these people now, as the Turk Royal family was demonstrating their force to Shenglan country, which was why they often instructed the Manlou to dress into gangsters to rob food from Shenglan country.

This time, Manlou actually dared to openly challenge the Emperor of Shenglan. Wasn’t he provoking both sides into a war?

“The Emperor of the Shenglan knows the contents of the letter, but he wouldn’t have thought that it was from the Turk,” the subordinate explained, “And the First Prince has already taken actions and he refused others’ help. We could do nothing about this.”

Ashina Yi was not angry now. He put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box and snorted, “Since it’s what he plans to do, then don’t ask me to help him clean up the mess. Tell others that I am not feeling well now, and needs to recuperate for a while. It might be a contagious disease!”

Ashina Yi had to be so careful. Even though it was a mess caused by Ashina Fei, if the Shenglan country took this opportunity to attack, it was naturally him who would lead the army, but the final benefits would fall on Ashina Fei.

He did not intend to work for others and leave his own efforts in vain. If he said he was ill, the old Emperor would not believe it. But if he said that he had a contagious flu, the old cunning Emporer would never come to ask him about it. He could enjoy a truly peaceful time.

“By the way, is there any news about the recent investigation?”

“Your Highness, the concubine of the Shenglan country is living in East Palace all day without coming out frequently. Apart from letting people sell some of his own properties, he didn’t do anything else. However, he was very careful in this action. We spent a fortune to buy his things.

Watching the properties which originally belonged to Du Chuxuan, a trace of smile appeared in Ashina Yi’s eyes. He didn’t know why the Shenglan couldn’t even afford to raise a concubine. However, he naturally had to protect everything belonged to Du Chuxuan.

He decided to put Du Chuxuan in Yuxing Tianrui’s place for a while, but he naturally would like to afford Du Chuxuan’s living. Ashina Yi, who was sitting there happily, did not care about what a great fortune his subordinates had spent to buy Du Chuxuan’s properties.

They spent almost all the money of the Second Prince , and they only bought some private properties in another country. Though the properties were worth a lot, it still made them feel uncomfortable.

“The properties need to be managed well. These have to be returned to him in the future,” Ashina Yi put the title deeds into a small box and ordered his men, who almost got ferocious in their hearts.

There were so many beautiful boys in the Turk! Why did Ashina Yi only liked the concubine of the Shenglan country?! He had spent so much money for him! It really served him right!
