Her face was slightly red, but very calm.
Liu Yue slowly smiled, “Journeying this far to Outer Mongolia, I rely wanted to appreciate the grand grassland, I did not have any other thoughts. Liu Yue is thankful, this title of Righteous King should be excused.”
These few, indifferent words were actually declining the bestownt of the ‘Righteous King’ title.
The audience in the base camp raised their heads to look at Empress Dowager Xiao. So looked dissatisfied, they didn’t think Liu Yue would decline the title, and could not help but to stare blankly, their faces expressing their displeasure.
Whether they wanted to give this title was one issue, giving the title and having the person bestowed with the title declining them was one whole other issue.
“What do you an you decline? You saved our King and Empress Dowager, you deserved this.” Bei Mu’s second general Li Kuo casually and loudly said to Liu Yue.
“Not receiving it, is it because you are looking down on us, Bei Mu people?” Bei Mu’s first general Ku Za Mu darkened his expression and glared at Liu Yue.
The celebratory mood in the camp instantly beca heavy.
Xiao Hua who was sitting closest to the door, pulled back and moved closer to Ouyang Yufei, her fingers feeling for her knife inside her sleeve.
One wrong word, and she was prepared to run away imdiately.
On the contrary, Ouyang Yufei had a unperturbed expression, as he leisurely continue eating the roasted lamb at in front of him. He was completely unaffected by everything happening around him.
“I did not an that, I only……”
“Liu Yue, if you are willing, the Huns will award you with the right flank general rank, to wield the power of the right flank general.” Liu Yue did not even manage to finish her sentence before the King of Hun, who was standing beside her, said with a deep voice.
When the words ca out, the Bei Mu soldiers imdiately beca violent. The room was imdiately filled with the rustling sound of them standing up all at once, as cold knifes glinted in their hands.
“Sit down.” Not giving a chance for the generals to speak their minds, Empress Dowager Xiao’s expression turned cold as she shouted sternly. Her sharp and authoritative voice imdiately silenced everyone.
Ye Lu Ji, Ku Za Mu and the others frowned as they glared at the King of Hun and Liu Yue. It was as if they would imdiately move to kill her if Liu Yue agreed.
However, the King of Hun didn’t pay attention to the surrounding Bei Mu Generals, he only fixed his eyes on Liu Yue.
Losing to Liu Yue, this heroine who was just passing by, or losing to the people of the Central Plains who couldn’t fight were both humiliation to him. However, losing to Liu Yue would an that he was only humiliated by one person.
