Things returned to the starting point. Abarasha then remembered that he had said everything he should and shouldn't have said in order to survive. But now the knife was on his neck. He had witnessed Li Xiang's cruelty. Hundreds of people were wiped out. If he didn't say it, he might be one of the corpses outside.
"We suspect Zuo Xian Wang, but we have no evidence yet. However, if our two countries fall out, Zuo Xian Wang will be the biggest beneficiary. He owns several trading companies. We only learned about this yesterday. We originally thought these trading companies belonged to a few tribal leaders, but who knew they were all inextricably linked to him? And apart from him, no one else could have arranged it so perfectly..."
Abalasha did not mention the details, but only stated the conclusions they reached. He also told these words to the Turkic Khan, but the Turkic Khan was afraid of the power of Zuo Xian Wang, so he did not let them continue the investigation. Instead, he wanted to use this incident to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty and make the Tang Dynasty admit defeat in front of the Western Turks.
Things are becoming more and more complicated. I originally thought that only one prince of Western Turkestan was involved, but now I didn’t expect that two princes are involved.
"How do we resolve the issues outside?"
Li Xiang pointed at the war horses that were strolling in the distance, completely unaware of how dangerous it was. Perhaps this was the difference between animals and humans. At this moment, everyone in the royal city was extremely nervous, and all four city gates were closed.
"I can testify that you had no intention of attacking anyone. They came to attack you, and you only fought back in self-defense."
Abalasha remembered what Yuchi Baolin said. It was obvious that someone wanted to kill him. He had to get to the bottom of this matter. Even if he had to temporarily stand in Li Xiang's camp, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
"Why should I trust you? What if you leave here and turn your back on me?"
Li Xiang said doubtfully that in his opinion these people had no credibility. If he left the barracks, he might get nothing in the end.
"You two come here."
Abarasha pointed at his two guards and said that they were now being watched by the Tang soldiers. After seeing Li Xiang nod, the two men crawled over. Abarasha was already scared like that, let alone ordinary guards like them, who were even more scared in their hearts.
"Go home and invite the three young masters."
After hearing what Abalasha said, Li Xiang understood what was going on. This guy was a smart man. He knew that he had to leave his son here as a hostage so that he would let him go.
"Go quickly, are you waiting to die?"
Seeing that the two men did not move, Abarasha slapped them twice. After hearing this, the two men immediately jumped on their horses and ran out. Li Xiang thought that the three young masters were all in the city, but who knew that they were actually outside the city.
"The royal city is unsafe recently, so..."
Seeing Li Xiang's look, Abalasha said a little embarrassedly that in fact, it was not just him who was like this. All the nobles in the city had sent their important people back. Although there were still lights and feasting in each mansion, the heirs were not in the city.
Abarasha sent his son to a tribe 150 miles away from the royal city, so it would take some time to go back and forth. The army in the city has entered a state of preparation for war, including some important people, who were also patrolling on the city wall just now.
As for the army outside the city, when they saw the Prime Minister standing at the gate, they did not dare to move for a moment. Because the four gates in the city were closed, there was no way to send orders out.
Li Xiang felt that the situation here was becoming more and more chaotic. He had just wanted to scare Abalasha, but he didn't expect that someone would really dare to attack. There were also people here who wanted to kill their prime minister. One thing after another, if he didn't think clearly, he would probably collapse by now.
Fortunately, things have calmed down now. Apart from the death of more than one hundred people, no serious incidents have occurred. We have no casualties. As for whether the Western Turks can swallow this anger, it depends on Abalasha.
About five hours later, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance. These people were Abarasha's private soldiers. They were escorting three princes. The youngest was only five or six years old. These were all Abarasha's sons. He also understood people like Li Xiang very well. If you don't show some real stuff, Li Xiang will never let you leave the barracks.
At Abalasha's age, his sons are his most important assets. If anything happens to these three sons, he may not be able to have three more sons.
"Then please rest for a while in our military camp. You can handle the matters outside. However, I want to meet your Khan in person."
Li Xiang also put forward his own request.
"I will do my best to arrange this, but please, Your Highness, do not tell our Khan about what I just said."
Abarasha said somewhat embarrassedly that this guy wanted to be a bitch and also wanted to be a chastity saint. It was clearly he who told the truth, but now he wanted to distance himself from the matter.
"Even if I say you didn't say anything, will your Khan believe me? I need this information to force your Khan to back down, so you have to find me a reliable source."
Li Xiang said it very clearly. I will tell your Khan everything you told me without missing a word. If you want to clear yourself of the matter, then you have to find a source of information for me and let me tell your Khan where I knew it.
"Then say it was I who said it, but use a cryptic tone so that our Khan will suspect someone else."
After hearing what Abarasha said, Li Xiang also knew that this guy was full of tricks and was just scared by us just now. If he had his rationality, it would be hard to say who would have fooled whom. Just based on these two sentences of his, he knew that his IQ was definitely not lower than his own.
"There's still a long way to go. You need to plan for your future. This king admires you very much, just as he admires Wadahan of Gaochang."
Li Xiang patted Abalasha on the shoulder and returned to the camp alone.
Abalasha, however, could not remain so calm. He understood what Li Xiang had said just now...
