Chapter 1457: A heaven-sent gift, the supplies have arrived!

"Father Khan, naturally I wish to hear it. What is this good news?"

Upon hearing the three words "Living Yama," Batel could not help but look extremely agitated. His gaze remained fixed on Helian Cha, his face full of expectation.

He had wanted revenge for far, far too long.

Now, he was extremely eager for any news related to the Living Yama.

He longed to eat the Living Yama's flesh and drink his blood; he even dreamed of avenging his grievances!

Helian Cha said with a calm expression, "The Emperor of Chu has sent word that the agreement is made. As long as our army attacks Da Qian and keeps them occupied, Chu Qingluan will be sent to the grasslands for a marriage alliance this year!"

"At the same time, the Emperor of Chu has also prepared a batch of supplies, including fine armor, swords, and blades!"

Once these words were spoken, a look of surprise appeared in the depths of Batel's eyes.

He asked curiously, "Has that Chu Qingluan given birth? Is the Emperor of Chu finally willing to let her go?"

Previously, when Chen Sheng went as an envoy to the grasslands to lobby them, Helian Cha had made a request to him.

At that time, they were not necessarily targeting the Living Yama, but merely wanted to test the Emperor of Chu's sincerity. Thus, they specifically proposed that Chu Qingluan must enter the grasslands for a marriage alliance and marry him, Batel.

It was just that this matter encountered a slight complication: Chu Qingluan had become pregnant.

The Emperor of Chu proposed that after the child was born, he would send Chu Qingluan to the marriage alliance.

At the time, because both sides were just beginning to cooperate and did not fully trust each other, Helian Cha did not press the issue and began his southward advance into Da Qian.

This matter was therefore shelved.

So, Helian Cha's words, combined with the news that had arrived, made Batel think of this matter.

Helian Cha nodded, "Calculating the time, she should be about to give birth. Otherwise, why would the Emperor of Chu send someone to the grasslands?"

Batel asked curiously, "Is the child born to the Great Chu Princess a boy or a girl?"

These words caused Helian Cha to subconsciously fall into deep thought, but he immediately reprimanded him.

"Whether it is a boy or a girl, what does that have to do with you? Why are you so curious?"

Batel looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Father Khan, I was just asking, merely asking."

"However, the Living Yama brought such extreme humiliation to our Heavenly God Tribe; even the Great Khatun did not escape his poisonous hands!"

"Now that a great opportunity has arrived, his son will become my son, call me 'Father,' and perhaps one day, even draw a blade against that Living Yama!"

"Just thinking about that scene is delightful!"

Helian Cha did not speak, but his face also carried a look of self-satisfaction.

Following that logic, he naturally became the grandfather of the Living Yama's son!

"This matter is top secret. The Emperor of Chu has sealed the news, and the Living Yama should be unaware. If, in time, we order him to draw his blade against the Living Yama, then design it so the Living Yama kills his own son with his own hands, and then tell the Living Yama the truth—just thinking about it is delightful!"

Helian Cha nodded in affirmation, his face also full of expectation.

Batel also laughed, an indescribable sharp light radiating from his eyes. He said with certainty, "This matter is truly a piece of great news."

"The Living Yama messed with my grandmother, so I will mess with this Chu Qingluan!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Cha chuckled, "My son, your perspective is too narrow. What Father Khan wants to tell you is not just this one piece of good news."

"There is more?"

Batel asked, looking astonished.

Helian Cha said, "These past few days, not only has the Emperor of Chu sent news, but the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom have also sent word!"

"The supplies they have prepared for our tribe are all in the process of being mobilized, and it is not a small amount."

"The Chu Kingdom's contribution is the smallest, the Qi Kingdom's is second, but the Yan Kingdom's boldness—even I, the Khan, am astonished!"

"That Emperor of Yan has prepared three thousand swords and blades and two thousand sets of armor for our tribe!"

"In addition, there are grain, gold, silver, and other supplies!"

"So much?"

Even Batel was startled by this scale.

Swords and blades were fine, but this armor was exactly the supply the Xiongnu desperately needed.

With this equipment, their combat power would be greatly enhanced!

"Father Khan, do they have any special requirements?" Batel felt it was strange and asked curiously.

Helian Cha shook his head, "They have no special requirements, but there is one point: they order our tribe to send troops into Da Qian, avenge our grievances, and weaken Da Qian's national strength!"

Speaking of this, a powerful ambition filled the depths of Helian Cha's eyes. He said, "With this gold, silver, grain, and so much armor and weaponry,"

"What is there for our tribe to fear from Da Qian?"

"The shame of having our nest raided shall be washed away with the blood of Da Qian's people!"

Helian Cha gripped his fist tightly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Batel was also incredibly excited.

But he still felt it was strange.

"Father Khan, previously, although the three kingdoms of Yan, Chu, and Qi said they supported us, their contributions were not large, and they were always hesitant."

"Why are they so straightforward now, and all coming together in these few days? Is it possible that because our tribe's information is blocked, something has happened in the world that we do not know about?"

Once these words were spoken.

Helian Cha was stunned, then frowned and said, "The situation of the Seven Kingdoms is stable, checking and balancing each other. What could happen?"

"If something truly major happened that could make the three kingdoms of Yan, Chu, and Qi anxiously send supplies and fear Da Qian, it would only be if one kingdom were destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Batel fell silent.

He could not figure this out either.

It was just that ever since he had fallen into the hands of that Living Yama, he had become much more cautious and prudent.

Instinctively, he sensed that something was wrong with this matter.

Since Helian Cha had already said as much, Batuer did not continue to press the matter.

Helian Cha said with great ambition, "Order all tribes to be on high alert. Once the Yan Kingdom's swords and armor arrive, we will follow me to send troops and avenge our grievances!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Batel also walked away, excited.

He stroked his dagger and sneered, "This child's first cry of 'Father' must be sacrificed with the blood of Da Qian!"

In an instant, the grasslands were in turmoil.

At the same time.

The Yan Kingdom.

Yan Wushuang sat on the dragon throne, holding a memorial in his hand, his expression dark and unreadable.

After a long while, he put down the memorial, rubbed his throbbing brow, and then said in an extremely sighing tone.

"This Living Yama's methods are too terrifying. The insurgent armies within the Zhao Kingdom are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain; they are unstoppable!"

"The Zhao Kingdom... is finished!"

As soon as Yan Wushuang said this, the hundred officials were all shaken.

The world situation had been stable for a long time. Even though the Chu Kingdom had lost one hundred thousand elite troops and consumed so much grain, it was still not to be underestimated. But the Zhao Kingdom had been perfectly fine, and now it was suddenly finished?

Chen Sheng kept his head low, his face solemn.

Ever since Yan Wushuang usurped the throne, the Yan Kingdom had viewed Da Qian as its greatest enemy. The place where the palace's secret agents went most often was Da Qian's Changancheng.

All news, regardless of the cost, had to be sent back to the Yan Kingdom at the first opportunity.

Therefore, Yan Wushuang and he also knew about the Zhao Gao matter very quickly.

At first, when the tribute silk system news came, he was very puzzled. Previously, the Da Qian Empress had encouraged the people of Da Qian to all wear Zhao Gao, driving up the price of Zhao Gao.

But he felt this point could still be explained; after all, befriending the Zhao Kingdom, stabilizing the Zhao Kingdom, and sending some money to maintain relations between the two countries was quite reasonable.

Even he had been deceived by this reason.

But once the tribute silk system was out, he smelled something unusual.

For Da Qian, the cost was too high, and this reason was becoming somewhat untenable.

But until this moment, he still did not know what Gao Yang was going to do, until the news of the market crash arrived.

Chen Sheng understood everything!

He immediately found Yan Wushuang and told him everything.

But by then, it was too late. The Yan Kingdom was too far from the Zhao Kingdom, and news traveled very slowly. By the time the news reached the ears of the Zhao Emperor, everything that was meant to happen had already happened.

After that, the news of the grain embargo came, the price of Zhao Gao began to collapse, and then came the luck game, and now the uprising of the Ruthless Sect!

Nothing could stop it anymore.

Gao Yang's scheme—even he was terrified to the extreme! ===== CHAPTER 1459 =====
