Chapter 122 It turned out to be him! (2)
Zhao Zimu smiled helplessly and said, “It isn’t that you weren’t able to guess who caused the riot at the Xiongnu court a few months ago, right? I kindly helped you once before. Why did you forget about it so soon?”
Zhao Zimu’s tone was very light and gave people the feeling of calmness, but what she said made Tata threw out the cup with horse milk wine in his hand. He stared at Zhao Zimu in terror and horror and his breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Although, he had some guessing before, but he wasn’t sure. What method did this person use to mess up the entire Xiongnu court?
Tata wasn’t able to guess it. After a long time, he looked at Zhao Zimu and said, “What can you give me?”
Zhao Zimu smiled. Then, she looked at him and asked, “What do you want?”
“Can you satisfy me with what I want?”
“Prince Tata, there is no free lunch in this world. Even your God of Longevity will not let you reap without sowing. I need your sincerity.”
Tata stood up and walked back and forth. Then, he turned and looked at Zhao Zimu, “It isn’t considered much that you can let the Xiongnu court’s horses be in chaos once. It is still the same question, what qualifications do you have to work with me? What do you want?”
“Prince, you still have no sincerity. I know that Muke recently wanted you to attack Dragon City, isn’t that right? However, you only have five thousand people under your command. This is attacking a city. Can five thousand people capture a city that has high defense? Don’t joke around. Presumably, Muke couldn’t wait to exhaust your soldiers and horses as soon as possible. Do you think that he will keep you after you are of no use to him?”
“What do you want me to do? Can you help me?” Tata couldn’t sit still anymore. Eagerness flashed in his eyes. Since this person could know the situation of the Xiongnu and Great Liang, then, his status in Great Liang’s army must not be low. If such a person could help him, Tata believed that he would be able to overcome this crisis.
Zhao Zimu laughed sincerely. Then, she looked at Tata and said, “Your Highness, I don’t need you to do anything. I only need you to cooperate with me when I need it. Also, I can let you triumph in every battle…when you encounter us!”
“You want to betray Great Liang?!” Tata looked shockingly at her.
“Your Highness is joking,” Zhao Zimu casted him a glance. “I will only let you go when you meet our people and won’t do anything to you.”
“Are you kidding me?! Can you meet me all the time?! Moreover, why do you think that I will lose?”
Tata slapped the table while being stirred up. Zhao Zimu looked once at him and then retracted her gaze. She said, “Have you heard about the ghostly black armored troop? Have you heard about the flag with the character Zhao on it? I am on of theirs. Our general has personally sent me over to talk to you. Do you think it is credible?”
The man took several steps back and his eyes widened. He was speechless when looking at her. He pointed at Zhao Zimu and said, “You, you…”
Zhao Zimu felt that it was so tired to talk to Tata. She went around and couldn’t find a point to stand on. She pressed her brows and smiled at Tata again, “Your Highness, the only thing that you need to do is be victorious. This will help you re-establish prestige among your people and help you regain what originally should belong to you. Don’t ask me if I’m afraid that after you get power, you will turn around and deal with us again. I can tell you now that we are not afraid. Also, Dragon City where you are going to attack is not the place where I am defending. When the time comes, you just need to hold Muke back and we will take care of the rest.”
She looked at Tata with a dry mouth after having talked too much and asked, “Did you understand, My Highness?”
Tata looked at her blankly and said, “What benefits would you get?” Tata believes that there was no free lunch in this world.
Zhao Zimu smiled and said, “The thing I want is similar to yours. So, this is good for the both of us.”
Power was something that would make people be engrossed in it. Tata believed that the person in front of him have the same ambition as him. Hence, even colluding with him was possible.
Facing Tata’s gaze, Zhao Zimu let him look at her. She didn’t pay attention to it and also didn’t care.
“Just now you used the word ‘I’. Can it be that you are the leader of that troop?” Tata referred to the troop led by Zhao Zimu and only this troop could make them fearful.
Zhao Zimu shrugged and expressed that it isn’t that she didn’t know that he would be able to guess it and that she was also not afraid that he would be able to guess it.
“When you attack Dragon City, pay attention to the movement from the west and watch the situation of the northwest at the same time. If Muke cares, it would be a great thing. Of course, it’s even better if he didn’t. You just have to wait for my notice.”
“West…,” Tata said puzzled. “You must know that the west has been well-behaved these few years because of the civil strife and have never invaded the Central Plains. Why did they suddenly jumped out?”
“You just need to do what I tell you,” Zhao Zimu got up and walked towards the entrance of the big tent.
“What is your name?”
“Zhao Zhong.” She gently raised the opening of the tent and paused for a moment before she walked out of the ten, leaving only a dumbstruck Tata.
At this time, only a few words repeatedly appeared in Tata’s head…It is really him!
