Chapter 123 Stung him for a moment (1)
Zhao Zhong, this person who remained fresh in the memories of the Xiongnu even after a few months and was the first that that hung above the Xiongnu’s head like a sharp blade. This name made them uneasy and would also make their expression change.
Each of his men were equipped with a horse. The speed could almost catch up with the iron cavalry of their Xiongnu warriors. They also battled braver than any other generals from the northwest army of Great Liang. If his people went against the Xiongnu, they could only be described as bloodthirsty.
No one could figure it out. From where did such a ruthless person appear from…?
From the soldiers under a general’s command one could tell what kind of person the general was. This Zhao Zhong was undoubtedly a ruthless person.
He seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground and suddenly appeared. Compared to their people, the God of Longevity seemed to favor this demon who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Many people even suspected that he was related to the ghostly black armored troop that had appeared before. Although, they didn’t kill innocents and set fire when fighting with them now, but their ruthless style was so similar to the rumored troop that people couldn’t help but suspect.
And this person turned out to be the initiator of the horse riot at the Xiongnu court. It could be said that all the things that made the Xiongnu panic recently were done by that person of just now!
Tata looked in the direction that Zhao Zimu had departed with a lot of thoughts in his head. Such a person actually said to cooperate with him!
While Tata was excited, he was skeptical and nervous at the same time. He really couldn’t judge the truthfulness and falsehood of what she said, but for that uncertain hope, he was willing to give it a try no matter what!
Zhao Zimu had left the camp for three days. When she returned, she found that the ambiance was a bit strange. Some soldiers seemed to have worries on the space between their eyebrows. This was not only some people. It could be said that almost all the people looked at her the same way.
After pondering about it for a moment, she took Yue Liu quickly to her tent.
Before they arrived at her tent, she saw that Yue Wu and Yue Qi were waiting for her and Yue Wu’s expression was a bit wrong. It had some uneasiness and a guilty conscience.
Zhao Zimu looked at the two of them once. Then she nodded before walking in the direction of the big tent while casually saying to Yue Wu and Yue Liu, “Let’s talk when we go back.”
The expression on Yue Wu’s face stagnated for a moment. Then, he followed the others to the direction of the big tent.
“Speak, what is the matter?” Zhao Zimu took off her cloak while she sat in the middle of the big tent and looked directly at Yue Wu.
Having killed more people, Zhao Zimu also carried a sharp aura. Even if she didn’t say anything, the thin figure just sitting there would give people a kind of pressure.
Yue Wu didn’t dare to look at her. He just muttered a few words with his head down. Zhao Zimu glanced once at Yue Qi. Yue Qi immediately stood up and answered in the stead of the nervous Yue Wu, “Madam, he put scorpions to bit fifth prince.”
Zhao Zimu raised an eyebrow. She didn’t look at the nervous Yue Wu and asked Yue Qi, “How is the bite?”
“Not dead, but almost. According to the military doctors in the camp, this kind of scorpions are very rare and the antidote is hard to find. Furthermore, unlike Liang capital, there are no precious medicinal herbs in the northwest. If fifth prince continues like this, it might be over for him.”
Zhao Zimu moved her gaze from Yue Qi to Yue Wu and asked a bit irritated, “Why?”
Zhao Zimu didn’t understand why Yue Wu would do something against Situ Yuanxiao. What made him want Situ Yuanxiao’s life?
Could it be Lin Qing? However, Lin Qing was a few thousand miles away and not to mention that he recently had no reason to attack Situ Yuanxiao.
Yue Wu lowered his head under Zhao Zimu’s gaze and said dejectedly, “I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Who knew that the scorpions could be so poisonous?”
Yue Wu also knew how big the trouble he caused was this time. A prince. That was an existence that was like the descendants of gods. Not to mention that even if you disrespect him, you will be punished, even a slight injury would cause some people to lose their lives. He almost killed him now. Once someone finds out it is him, even Zhao Zimu and Lin Qing would be implicated by him.
Yue Wu said to Zhao Zimu, “Yue Wu knows that Yue Wu have caused a big calamity. Yue Wu is willing to bear it alone and will never implicate Lord Qiansui and madam!”
After speaking, he banged his heads three times on the floor to Zhao Zimu and waited for Zhao Zimu to deal with him.
Yue Liu and Yue Qi couldn’t bear to look at him, but they couldn’t speak up anything to help. The trouble of this time was too big. Once it was found out, it would be useless no matter who said anything.
“Reason,” Zhao Zimu said concisely. Yue Wu and the others had always acted within the norms. She didn’t believe that they would do such a thing for no apparent reason. Hence, she asked again.
Before Yue Wu could speak, Yue Qi took the initiative to stand out and said respectfully to Zhao Zimu, “Because fifth prince has designs on you and also had offended you. Hence Yue Wu wanted to teach him a lesson.”
