Chapter 1145: Chapter 200: Speculations from All Sides (Double-Length Part 2)
When Jin Gaochi and the others realized that there were actually two hidden Sixth Rank Martial Artists nearby, they couldn’t help but gasp in shock, feeling a wave of fear.
Two Sixth Ranks.
If it weren’t for Wu Liangbi and the others seeming to have other plans, the strength deployed this ti would have been enough to completely wipe them out here.
One force divides the army in front, while the rest attack individually.
Besides that, there’s also another army hovering outside.
Just thinking about this arrangent made Jin Gaochi’s scalp tingle, yet at the sa ti, he couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved.
What Wang Xingyuan just said was indeed true.
Such military power is already beyond what the Eldest Prince can recruit and control.
If not for this, he wouldn’t know if he’d even have the courage to continue following behind the Second Prince.
And while he felt slightly relieved, he also found it extrely tricky.
Because this ans Wang Xingyuan’s hints were true; the King of Parthia is likely pulling the strings behind this matter. Among all the kings of Parthia, Balman King’s territory is the most extensive, even comparable to the area directly controlled by the King of Parthia.
As a ruler of Parthia, while King Balman was alive, he was powerless.
Now, King Balman has not established a successor yet has been assassinated and killed. The territory must be in turmoil. Taking this opportunity to weaken King Balman and strengthen his own control over the kingdom is a golden opportunity that no ruler would miss.
The situation is far more complicated than before, more than double I reckon.
Jin Gaochi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
At this mont, the sowhat unfortunate Colonel rembered sothing again and said:
“By the way, Your Highness.”
Gu Mu glanced at him and said: “What else?”
At this mont, his heart was heavier, even more than Jin Gaochi’s. With the King of Parthia involved in this matter, no matter how highly he thought of himself, he wouldn’t think he could match that seemingly gentle uncle.
Inwardly mocking himself, could there be anything worse?
The Colonel saw his unpleasant expression, and his heart involuntarily shrank, saying:
“That Prince wanted to relay sothing to Your Highness before he left.”
“The Prince said Your Highness should know that the woman’s surna is Hu.”
The voice lowered, sounding in Gu Mu’s ears, first with so confusion, then like thunder, causing him to involuntarily step forward, raising his voice, he said:
“What did you say?”
“Surna Hu?! Hu Xuan’er?!”
………
Hu Xuan’er’s face was extrely unpleasant. She had spent a lot of effort to prevent Wu Deze from fighting her on the road, but Wu Deze’s attitude towards her was still highly vigilant.
The two, one ahead and one behind, were separated by a distance of three zhang, concealing their tracks, and spent a lot of effort to return to their temporary resting place, a considerably large mansion. The original owner was a spy who lived in Balman Royal City for more than thirty years.
The house was big and prosperous, so having more guests wouldn’t arouse too much suspicion.
Wu Deze cast a cold glance at Hu Xuan’er and said:
“Regarding today’s matter, I shall report everything to my lord, who will discern right from wrong.”
“You better take care of yourself!”
“Hmph!”
With that, he gave a heavy, cold snort, turned away with a scowl on his face, and left with large strides.
Hu Xuan’er’s face also turned quite unpleasant, but not only because of Wu Deze, more so because of that sickly-looking man from Great Qin. When the latter ntioned her surna, apart from a slight initial shock, she didn’t pay much attention.
At that ti, there were many other matters more worthy of her attention than this.
But she didn’t expect that this small matter caught Wu Deze’s attention, leading him to suspect her, causing such an awkward situation. If she hadn’t invoked the identity of the leader of this operation, he might have truly wanted to kill her.
Hu Xuan’er couldn’t help but beco even colder in deanor, but there were matters far more critical than anger at hand. She quickly entered the room, lit a candle, the gentle light illuminating the room. She placed a small Lotus lamp on the windowsill, then sat on the bed to calm her energy.
After about a quarter of an hour, having cycled her energy three tis, she opened her eyes to find another person in the room, dressed in purple, with delicate eyebrows and features, even sowhat youthful, appearing not yet twenty years old.
Hu Xuan’er rose and respectfully bowed, saying:
“Greetings, Master.”
The woman nodded slightly and asked, “How did things go today? I just ca from that side and heard many unpleasant remarks from Wu Deze about you.”
Hu Xuan’er bit her lower lip in frustration, suppressing her displeasure, and briefly recounted the incident, then said:
“Master, I always knew Wu Deze was as obstinate as his master.”
“But I never imagined he would fall for such a simple ruse of sowing discord so easily. Do we really need to ally with them?”
The woman who appeared even younger than her looked calm and said, “Affected by the ruse, you think it’s just him?”
Hu Xuan’er was slightly confused.
The woman calmly said, “The so-called ruse is rely destroying trust. He doubts you, and now you are dissatisfied with him. You two can no longer cooperate.”
Hu Xuan’er forcibly said:
“Disciple, I also do not wish to cooperate with him again. If we cannot cooperate, so be it.”
The woman sighed and said, “You tell , but Wu Deze will also report to his people, and the impact is far more than just that.”
Hu Xuan’er then realized the severity of this matter, her voice involuntarily lowering, “What should be done then? That Ake An has experienced many things and should not be deceived by such matters.”
