Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 180 How can such a good thing happen

Emperor of Dongxia!

Zhongli Yuan!

Zhongli Yuan, who was far away in the capital of Dongxia, was making clothes for her unborn baby when she suddenly couldn't help sneezing.

"My lady, are you okay? Did you catch a cold?"

"I think the Emperor must be missing His Majesty!"

……

Tuoba Kui's eyes were bloodshot as he read the letter in his hand again.

I felt both anger and fear.

The new emperor of Dongxia - Zhongli Yuan.

He is only in his early twenties but he has such ability.

In one day, his army of more than one hundred thousand was completely defeated.

Fortunately, he sent another 60,000 soldiers to the border to obey orders.

Otherwise, there would be no one guarding the border now, and when the Dongxia army of hundreds of thousands marches straight into his northern winter, he would be in danger.

"Go! Call me the leaders of the Xiongnu and other tribes that are attacking Dongxia."

The servant just responded and had not yet left.

Suddenly a low voice came from outside the hall.

"No need to shout, we are here."

Suddenly, a group of people rushed in from outside the hall, and Tuoba Kui looked grim.

He was not only angry about the loss of his hundreds of thousands of troops, but also dissatisfied with these people's disrespect to him.

"Khan Beidong, I believe you also know about the situation of the border soldiers. I want to ask you for an explanation on behalf of everyone."

Tuoba Kui looked at the leaders below who were glaring at him indignantly, and his dissatisfaction grew even more.

"Explanation? What explanation do you want from me?"

"Khan Beidong, we didn't agree to attack Dongxia in the first place. You forced us to send troops. Now all our warriors have been killed. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Tuoba Kui's face became even uglier. This was a naked provocation.

"Tuoba Kui, now nearly half of the warriors in our tribe have died because of your wrong decision. You must give us an explanation today."

"That's right. Our tribe has sent out five hundred warriors. Now we don't know whether they are alive or dead. How are we going to face their wives, children and the elderly?"

"Five hundred is nothing. Our tribe has produced two thousand warriors."

"What are you talking about? My own son is in there. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to that tigress of mine."

"Khan, this incident is all caused by you. You must give us an explanation."

"otherwise……"

Tuoba Kui's face turned ashen, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

A total of 160,000 warriors were dispatched to attack Dongxia, and Beidong alone sent 120,000 of them.

He hadn't even said who to ask for an explanation, but they came in a group to ask him for an explanation.

They dared to come to him so openly to ask for an explanation because Beidong had lost hundreds of thousands of warriors and was seriously injured.

And if these tribes join forces, they can just compete with the remaining troops of Beidong.

After being Khan for more than ten years, this was the first time he felt so aggrieved.

But now is not the time to show weakness. As soon as he shows weakness or gives in, these people will devour Beidong like wolves.

"How about otherwise?"

Tuoba Kui spoke with a stern face, which actually frightened the leader of a small tribe.

The Hun leader saw someone retreating and stood up.

"Tuoba Khan, this battle was indeed not our intention. Our small tribe is not like the vast and resource-rich Northern Winter. We have lost so many warriors and have been severely damaged. You must compensate us at least so that we can get through this winter safely."

"Humph, Dongxia is more vast and has richer resources. If our army is well prepared and strips Dongxia of its skin, will you give me your spoils?"

"Now that you've suffered a loss, you've come to me to complain. When I first proposed it, I didn't see you guys desperately refusing it."

"Did one of you desperately refuse?"

"Have I done anything to you, to your people?"

"You want benefits without taking risks, but there's no such thing as a good deal."

Tuoba Kui pretended to be calm, and kept thinking about how to solve the problem.

He finally managed to win over the queen at great expense.

Now this has happened again, it's really like adding insult to injury.

"Tuoba Khan, what you said is wrong. Since we have already sent troops, we have decided to take risks, but now it is not a question of risk or not."

"The main commander of this battle was your Beidong general. Isn't it your Beidong general's fault that hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out?"

"This is the result of a mistake by your Beidong generals. You must give us an explanation."

Tuoba Kui looked at the group of people below who nodded in unison, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

"If you want to blame someone, blame the Dongxia people for their cunning and deceit. Go ask them for compensation. I don't have any."

The Xiongnu leader's face suddenly darkened.

"Tuoba Khan, we are going to have a serious discussion with you. You are playing rogue on us, right?"

"How dare you speak to me like that."

"Tuoba Khan, if you don't give us the compensation we deserve today, we will be rude to you, Beidong."

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

Just when the stalemate between the two sides reached a fever pitch, a man wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a purple-gold crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand strode towards the hall.

"Khan, why is it so lively today? What happened?"

Tuoba Kui's face became even uglier when he saw the person coming. This fifth prince of Nanqiu came from Nanqiu, a country with great culture, yet he was so rude.

"Fifth Prince, this is our Beidong internal affairs."

"Oh? Really? Khan, do you need my help?"

Without waiting for Tuoba Kui to greet him, the Fifth Prince Nanqiu found a place to sit down.

There was no intention of leaving to avoid suspicion.

Tuoba Kui frowned. He still had a mess to deal with, and it was really unpleasant that the fifth prince came to interfere.

"No need for that. This is our internal matter, Fifth Prince, please stay away."

Tuoba Kui thought that he had made his words so clear that even the most shameless person would have left tactfully.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince of Nanqiu acted as if he didn't understand and opened his folding fan and shook it twice.

Tuoba Kui was even more unhappy. He was fanning himself in the middle of winter. He was really pretending.

"Khan, I can really help."

"No need, Fifth Prince, please go back."

The fifth prince of Nanqiu ignored Tuoba Kui's order to expel him.

His gaze fell on the tribal leaders who all had wary looks.

"You want compensation, huh? I, Nan Qiu, will pay. Twenty taels of silver per head. What do you think?"

"That's right. If you want to spend money on the grassland, you need to go to Dongxia. Now that Dongxia's borders are closed, giving you money won't be of much use."

"How about this, 20 dan of grain per head, what do you think?"

No one present, including the Khan of Beidong, expected that the Fifth Prince of Nanqiu would say this.

Those tribal leaders don’t care who provides the food, as long as they can get the food today, their goal will be achieved.

Although twenty taels of silver is more than twenty dan of grain, it is also a fact that they have no place to spend it, so twenty dan of grain is more practical.

"Okay, we agree."
