Chapter 448 Interest

Jincheng.

Ten thousand Yulin troops arrived one after another, filling the entire city with a hustle and bustle unlike before.

The residents and slaves in the city assisted the sergeants in unloading the supplies and transporting them into the warehouse. The mules and pack horses were unbridled and temporarily rested beside the city wall, howling. The cavalry went out to detect the nearby situation, while the infantry stationed in each acropolis and took over the defense of the main city.

In the palace area, Mokdu's former palace was preserved. At this time, Zhao Shuang moved in. Hundreds of people were packed into the small but exquisite palace, which seemed a bit crowded.

These people are all generals from various departments in the army, or people in charge of affairs in Jincheng. They are gathered together now to wait for the master of the city to come.

The door opened, and the young but heroic man walked in and sat directly on the only chair in the room.

"How is the situation in the city?"

"Back to the Lord, the provisions and military equipment have been arranged. The subordinates have assigned manpower to transport food to Longxi and the nearby Qiang tribes."

Xin Zhao came out and answered. After not seeing him for a long time, he was much stronger than Zhao Shuang's impression, and his skin was much darker.

"How are the Hu and Qiang tribes around?"

"Most are waiting and watching, and a few are only willing to provide food and refuse to send people to assist our army."

Zhao Shuang had already anticipated the reaction of the Hu Qiang tribe. The situation has suddenly changed. The city that was originally a trade hub is now isolated and in a critical situation.

"My lord, Princess Yuezhi is outside the palace and wants to see you."

At this moment, Bai Lu came in a hurry and whispered in Zhao Shuang's ear.

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and said hello.

"Let her in!"

Hundreds of people left one after another, leaving only Zhao Xin and Bai Lu in the house. Princess Yuezhi, accompanied by a big man, walked in holding a box.

When the young princess looked at the young man sitting on the chair, her eyes lit up, and hope ignited in her originally gloomy eyes. For some reason, Aaliyah had a feeling that the man in front of her was very reliable.

However, although Hanyang Jun was very polite to her, his attention was obviously not on her.

"Qiu Biju, I see you again."

Qiu Biju's tall body bowed slowly. He once went to Qin as an envoy of King Yuezhi and met Zhao Shuang several times. The Hanyang Lord of Qin State, Yuezhi's speech was very unfamiliar when they last met, but now he sounds very skilled.

"Your Majesty!"

"I am ordered by my king to help the princess regain her kingdom..."

"Really?"

Aaliya suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhao Shuang's words.

"Yes, Princess Yuezhi."

Zhao Shuang replied, but just when Princess Yuezhi wanted to say something else, his attention turned to Qiu Biju.

"How is the situation of the Yueshi now?"

For Zhao Shuang, the most important thing is to know the current intelligence in Yuezhi. And no one knows the situation better than Qiu Biju, who was once a close minister of the Yuezhi King.

"After Barrett occupied the royal city, he had already assumed the throne and proclaimed himself king. The two major Xihous around the royal capital, Amber and Gubiqi, swore allegiance, and more than a dozen minor Xihous in the country also chose to obey."

"What about troop deployment?"

As a close minister of the Yuezhi King, Qiu Biju is also an intelligence officer and holds the intelligence system in his hands. However, after the Yuezhi turmoil, the intelligence system in his hands suffered great losses.

"I don't know about Yuezhi Royal City. But that shameless traitor Gubiqi has now occupied the land, pastures and cities of the Eastern Royal Family. He has used the royal family's hunting grounds as his base camp, and now his own army plus surrendered The rest of his army, including those of the Marquis of Xi, numbered more than 30,000 horses."

Aaliyah opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her. When Qiu Biju said this worrying information, Zhao Shuang didn't react much. But with Chubiju's next words, the atmosphere changed.

"It was this Gubiqi who sent troops to plunder your trade caravan."

Aaliya suddenly felt a chill. Zhao Shuang, who was sitting on the chair, squinted his eyes. His whole person seemed to have changed, making people afraid to come close.

So cold!

What happened to this man?

"How far is his base camp and hunting palace from here?"

"More than two hundred miles away. But there are three thousand elite troops stationed there."

Aaliya was a little strange, but she heard Zhao Shuang's deep voice.

"I understand, take the princess down first!"

Yueshi Royal City.

"Zhao Shuang has led the army and has arrived in Jincheng."

Tudor walked into the room and saw Mokdu wiping his sword with anger in his eyes.

"I know. I'm also waiting for this war to come."

Tudor felt relieved when he saw Mokdu's fighting spirit.

"How's Barrett?"

Mokdu smiled with a bit of contempt.

"He wears exquisite silk robes every day and sits on the throne of the former King of the Yuezhi. He is very comfortable."

"Don't be careless. Kurak has already poisoned him. In just a few days, Barrett will die suddenly. During this period, all those who are not good for us must leave the royal city."

Tudor's reminder alerted Mokdu.

"The biggest obstacle is Gubic. This greedy guy, even after Barrett ascended to the throne, was still unconvinced and stayed in the royal city with his army. Barrett has been dissatisfied with him for a long time. If I find an opportunity, I will kick him out of the royal city."

Having said this, Mokdu smiled.

"And this opportunity has come. Barrett gave the land in the east to Gubiqi. Although it was a last resort, it has a miraculous effect. Once Zhao Shuang's army attacks his territory, I am afraid that Barrett will not If you open your mouth, Gubic himself will lead his army and leave the royal city."

In the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Qin people are constantly increasing their troops on the border, in the name of avenging King Yuezhi. As time goes by, it may be disadvantageous."

Barrett was also a little worried. After all, his position was unfair. According to the legal system, the orthodox successor of the Yuezhi was now in the hands of the Qin people.

He looked at Gubic. If troops were to be used against the Qin people, Barrett would need his help.

Gubiqi is lean and lean, and looks like a monkey, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He noticed King Yuezhi's gaze, but didn't intend to pay attention to it at all.

Barrett snorted, anger burning in his heart, but he had no strength and felt flustered.

But at this moment, Mokdu came in from outside, holding a military report in his hand.

"Your Majesty."

"You are not training soldiers and horses outside the city, why are you here?"

"Information came from the east that the Qin army invaded our land and occupied the hunting ground and palace."

"What did you say?"

Gubic, who had been silent just now, seemed a little panicked, jumped out and asked.

"Where are the treasures, cattle and sheep, horses and beauties I left in my palace?"

"The three thousand troops of Da Xihou were all killed by the Qin army, and the contents were not transported out, but were all obtained by the Qin people."

"What!" Gubiqi said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the Qin people are invading our land, please let me lead the people to defend against the enemy."

"Since Lord Xi wants to defend his country, I can't stop him. Go ahead!"

When Barrett said the last words, there was a smile that could not be concealed on his face.

In a palace, Barrett was proud, Gubic was panicked, and the rest of the people were talking about each other, showing their attitude. Only Mokdu lowered his head and remained indifferent, but could not help but reveal a snicker at the corner of his mouth.
