Chapter 146

How could it be possible?

Duoti's honest face had a hint of a crack as he looked at Xiao Yunzhou.

It couldn't be possible. The Emperor of Jing Country couldn't possibly know about his scheme.

Just last night, he had finally decided which map of the grasslands to 'betray'.

"Hmm, Duoti, although your Khan is like a brother to me," Xiao Yunzhou leaned forward sharply, "you still need to protect the grassland treasures you've brought to Jing Country."

Duoti twitched his face.

"I view the grasslands as a brother, but I'm busy with state affairs and cannot keep an eye on everyone in Jing Country every day."

Xiao Yunzhou said in a gloomy tone, "If you, Duoti, fail to properly guard your personal treasures and lose something..."

For the first time, Duoti felt a man with no physical power had scared him into a cold sweat!

The Emperor of Jing Country had hardly any flesh on his body and looked rather frail. Perhaps Duoti could knock him down with just one hand. But at this moment, the hair on the back of Duoti's neck stood on end.

How could the Emperor possibly know that he planned to pass the grassland map to Jing Country's soldiers?

Duoti couldn't figure it out.

"If anything does happen, Duoti, not only will I punish those with ill intentions and covetous of the grassland treasures, but I will also report your failure to properly guard the treasures to my brother Sanda."

Xiao Yunzhou spoke slowly, as if talking about losing money casually.

"By the way, everything I say in Jing Country will be recorded in the Emperor's Daily Records."

"My words are not idle chatter. They will all serve as evidence later on."

Duoti: "!"

Hou Yuchuan had a peculiar expression, "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are no night watchmen in the Capital Camp..."

Xiao Yunzhou put down his teacup with a pat, "I'm not saying there are issues in the military camp."

"I'm just offering routine guidance to my brother Sanda's subordinates, like an elder brother advising his younger brother in an ordinary family."

Hou Yuchuan looked completely baffled.

But Duoti's back was drenched in sweat.

Xiao Yunzhou, the Emperor of Jing Country, was truly formidable!

No wonder Khan Sanda called the Emperor of Jing Country 'brother'!

Previously, Duoti thought Sanda was just stupid. Now he realized that might not be the case -- it was him who had been too naive!

"Rest assured, Your Majesty of Jing Country! We will guard our belongings well!" Duoti vowed on the spot.

His previous map scheme couldn't be used anymore. He would have to come up with a new way to sow discord when he returned!

[My foolish father the Emperor actually got it right this time. He guessed correctly and foiled Duoti's map plot. Hehe.]

Hiding behind the screen, Xiao Chuchu grinned happily.

[Father the Emperor is truly a lucky fool.]

Xiao Chuchu's praise made Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitch.

"Alright, take a rest and then go make arrangements for the martial arts competition." Xiao Yunzhou had no desire to keep Duoti any longer.
