Chapter 73: This Kid is a Bit Stupid

Everyone knew that this alone was not enough. The new khan must use the blood of the enemy and victory to prove himself and consolidate his throne. He must prove that the people of the grassland could live a better life and get more benefits under his leadership!

Therefore, the seemingly powerful Great Liang that could be bullied became Muke's target. So, he launched a violent sneak attack on Great Liang within a month of the marriage alliance, causing Great Liang a great loss.

Muke had proved himself and gave the officials of whole Great Liang a big slap in the face.

There was a deathly silence in the main hall. The report of the Prefecture of Arrest made everyone silence.

After a long time, an official said weakly, "The report of the Prefecture of Arrest may not be accurate. Maybe there is hidden information inside of this. Perhaps, the Xiongnu's inherent quality is cruel and untamed. This is only their style of doing things."

In response, Lin Qing responded with a mocking smile, "Does this official mean that my Prefecture of Arrest is lying about the military situation?"

That official was stumped for words and couldn't refute because everyone knew that Lin Qing didn't have to lie on this matter. This wouldn't benefit him at all.

Emperor Jinghui's face was ashen for a long time, before he beckoned wearily with his hand to let everyone retreat.

He gave the Xiongnu countless of belongings and ten thousand picul of army provisions. He also sent his daughter there. Not just in name, but in reality he had given away the daughter to lose his army on top of it.

Lin Qing also retreated. The guards of the Prefecture of Arrest had been sent by him. He naturally knew a lot more than the report presented.

He sighed softly and walked towards the palace of the eighth prince.

One person already got there faster than him. At a lotus pond surrounded by guards and palace maids, a guard adorned in a flying fish patterned garment stood next to eighth prince. Looking bored at the lotus in the pond, she attracted the goldfishes with unknown pastry crumbs and she didn't seem to have seen the chubby eighth prince standing beside her.

Looking at Zhao Zimu with round eyes, eighth prince said angrily, "Will you teach me or not?!"

As if she had just noticed the person around her, Zhao Zimu sighed and said, "Your Highness, I had dream last night."

"What dream? What does it have to do with whether you teach me or not, the way you make me unable to move that day?" Situ Yuxuan said still angrily.

"Your Highness, can you hear this subject out. In fact, this was the same as you let me teach you how to hit the pressure points."

"Oh, then alright. Tell me," Situ Yuxuan said skeptically. The person in front of him had ignored him for so long. To be able to let him (ZZ) talk a bit was also a bit. He didn't care if he (ZZ) was just half-heartedly bothering with him. He should first make a good relationship with him! Situ Yuxuan thought secretly.

Seeing him fall for the trap, Zhao Zimu went on to say, "This subject dreamed that the fishes in this pond unexpectedly ran away out of the pond and still swam happily on the ground." Zhao Zimu said as if she was in very deep thoughts. Her eyes were blurry as if she was recalling the dream she had last night.

"Nonsense, a dream is a dream. Not to mention that this dream can't come true at all. This also has nothing to do with whether you teach me martial arts or not." Situ Yuxuan humphed, "I'm a prince, you dare to disobey me? Furthermore, it was just asking you to teach me martial arts. I will give you whatever you want!"
