After meeting Gao Xian, Xiang Nan went to see Pei Zhao again.
Pei Zhao is the son of General Pei Kuang and Princess Pingnan. He has also been Li Chengyin's companion since he was a child. They have had a very good relationship with him since he was a child.
"A Zhao, it's so good to see you again." Xiang Nan looked at Pei Zhao, looking very excited.
"Fifth Prince." Pei Zhaoshen bowed. Although he was usually stern, his eyes were still fiery when he looked at Xiang Nan.
"What a shame, my eldest brother has passed away. Otherwise, I don't know how happy we three brothers would be to see each other now." Xiang Nan said emotionally, "A Zhao, do you still remember that when we were young, the emperor always liked to take us in the palace? Play in the middle.”
"I remember. At that time, I was your study companion. I was naughty when I was young and often skipped school from Shangshuyuan. The eldest prince always came to help us cover up." Pei Zhao nodded.
"I remember that he often took us over the wall to dig out bird eggs and catch lizards... Thinking about those carefree days, I was quite happy." Xiang Nan added.
"Until the eldest prince became the prince, I watched him become more and more silent, and his smiles became less and less." Pei Zhao nodded, "Later on, you and I have also grown up, thousands of miles apart."
"Brotherhood can never be cut off." Xiang Nan said solemnly, "A Zhao, we must avenge our eldest brother!"
"Brotherhood can never be cut off." Pei Zhao nodded, "Fifth prince, let's avenge the eldest prince together!"
…
Turning around, Li Chengye summoned Xiang Nan over.
"Fifth brother, Dan Chi lives deep in the north and the terrain is dangerous. It is extremely difficult to eradicate him in one fell swoop." He said to Xiang Nan, "Therefore, the imperial government has been trying to suppress it for many years, but it is difficult to damage its roots."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Brother Huang is very worried. I have also heard that the Danchi people make a living as nomads. They have never settled in a fixed place and like to be stationed in remote and dangerous places. It is indeed difficult to capture them in one fell swoop."
"I heard that the key point of Danchi is the Tiedal King's Tent, which is at the core. All the important figures of Danchi live here." Li Chengye said again, "Although the Tiedal King's Tent often changes its location, it is unpredictable, and most people are very It’s hard to find. But once you find it, you can definitely defeat Dan Chi in one fell swoop.”
"Brother Huang is absolutely right. In this case, I voluntarily go to Tiedal King's tent." When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately said, "In order to pacify Danchi and restore peace to Fengchao's border."
"It's really admirable that fifth brother has such an ambition." Li Chengye clapped his hands and said, "It's just that this trip is very dangerous, and I don't want fifth brother to take risks."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang, but I have made up my mind." Xiang Nan said, "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will definitely go."
"Okay, fifth brother, take care of yourself." Li Chengye said with a smile.
"Brother, take care!" Xiang Nangong said, cupping his hands and getting ready to set off.
…
"Fifth prince, King Danchi's tent is in danger. No matter how many people look for it, they can't find it. You have fallen into the trap of the second prince." Pei Zhao said in surprise when he heard that Xiang Nan had taken over the task.
"How could I not know that this matter is extremely dangerous and there is a narrow escape from death." Xiang Nan sighed, "But if I don't go, Brother Huang will have 10,000 ways to force me to go.
What's more, although this trip is dangerous, it is not impossible. And once we find out the address of King Dan Chi’s tent, I, Toyo Chao, will be able to wipe out Dan Chi in one fell swoop.
It can not only reduce the casualties of our 200,000-strong army, but also ensure peace in the Western Territory for at least ten years. So, it's still worth the risk for me. "
The imperial court has always encircled and suppressed Danchi, but it has never been able to achieve full success. This is because Danchi is a nomadic people. When the enemy is strong, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. The main force is scattered, so it is difficult to achieve full success.
Only by finding King Tiedal's tent can the main force of Dan Chi be wiped out. When the time comes, Toyo Chao will be able to shock the Western Region. Let’s see which small country dares to stab him!
"Then I will send the most elite guards to go with you." Pei Zhao added.
"No need. The more people there are, the bigger the goal will be. It's better for me to go alone." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
In fact, he already had a rough judgment on the location of King Tiedal's tent, and this trip was to verify it. So it’s not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
And with his martial arts, whether he encounters sand bandits or Dan Chi's cavalry, he can avoid and evacuate in time, so he is far better than leading a group of people.
"Are you going by yourself?" Pei Zhao said in surprise.
"Why, do you think I can't do it?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"Pei Zhao doesn't dare." Pei Zhao quickly bowed.
Xiang Nan smiled and suddenly took out the sword from Pei Zhao's waist and placed it on his shoulder.
The speed was so fast that Pei Zhao didn't even have time to react.
"..." Seeing Xiang Nanxun's ghostly movements, Pei Zhao's eyes widened in shock.
He didn't expect that after so many years, the fifth prince's martial arts would actually be so good.
"You can rest assured now." Xiang Nan smiled and returned the sword to Pei Zhao.
Pei Zhao took the sword and nodded sincerely.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan went to Yanzhi City and waited for the king of Xizhou's reply.
Entering the main hall, Prince Xiang Nan and Li Dun were both in the main hall, looking at the King of Xizhou.
The three-day time limit has passed, and it is time to make a decision on the marriage.
"Fifth prince, I, Xizhou, would like to marry Feng Chao." The king of Xizhou looked at Xiang Nan and said.
"Thank you so much to the King of Xizhou for your love." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "I, the Feng Dynasty, have the honor to marry the ninth princess of Xizhou. After Princess Mingyuan, we will be married again. We will maintain good relations and have good relations for the rest of our lives."
"It is my long-cherished wish for the two countries to make peace and live together for the rest of their lives." The King of Xizhou also agreed.
"King of Xizhou, you are married to Fengchao but not to me, Shuobo. Do you think you look down on our Shuobo and can't see our powerful bows, crossbows, and strong soldiers and horses?" Upon hearing this, Prince Lidun said, His face suddenly darkened.
"Prince Lidun, be careful." Xiang Nan scolded after hearing this, "Fengchao and Xizhou are married and belong to the alliance. How will Shuobo's strong bows and crossbows compare to our armored army of Fengchao? "
Although Shuobo was considered a big country in the Western Region, it was still incomparable to Toyo Chao. In particular, Toyo dynasty's heavy infantry was a major constraint on the cavalry.
The Feng Dynasty already had 100,000 troops stationed in the western border, but now it was about to launch an attack on Danchi, and another 100,000 strong troops were coming soon. If Shuo Bo dares to provoke, he can destroy Shuo Bo first and then Dan Chi.
After all, the Shobo Kasa Castle is there, unlike King Danchi's tent that wanders around. Therefore, it is easier to defeat Shuo Bo than Dan Chi.
When Prince Lidun heard this, he immediately calmed down and bowed his hands arrogantly towards the King of Xizhou, "Since Xizhou doesn't look down on me, Shuo Bo, I will not continue to be humiliated here. King of Xizhou, we meet in the mountains and rivers!"
After that, he left with his entourage.
When the King of Xizhou saw this, although a trace of worry flashed across his face, he was actually not too scared.
Since he had decided to marry his daughter into the Toyo dynasty, he had already made psychological preparations, and he believed that Shuo Bo would not dare to start the war lightly.
After all, he has two powerful supporters, Toyochao and Danchi. As long as one family is willing to help him, he can resist Shuobo's army.
