However, Mu Fengqie didn't say this out loud, for she knew that if she did, Jing Xinche would surely find another excuse to kiss her.
It was another day of regretting having agreed to the kiss...
Tule Haojia left after giving Mu Fengqie that box. But before he left, he killed all the people who had come with him. Don't be fooled by their seemingly docile appearance; they were always so sloppy in their work.
But he knew that these people were sent by the King of the Grassland, and each of them had ulterior motives. So he killed them all, leaving no one alive.
After finishing his business here, Tule Haojia left without telling anyone where he was going. There was no need to tell either.
After all, the only person in this world who truly cared about him was probably Jian Yi. But he couldn't let Jian Yi take risks with him. He didn't even know if he could come back alive this time. So... goodbye, Jian Yi.
"Your Majesty, the prince is back," a burly - built man walked into the King of the Grassland's tent and respectfully reported the news he had just learned.
"Got it. Leave," the King of the Grassland tapped his index finger on the table rhythmically, waiting for Tule Haojia to arrive. He didn't seem the least bit surprised by the sudden return of Tule Haojia.
"Father," Tule Haojia, looking haggard and tired, came before the King of the Grassland. There was no trace of respect in his eyes as before.
"What are you doing back? Weren't you in the Qin Dynasty?" the King of the Grassland asked leisurely, looking at Tule Haojia.
"Father, a few days ago, it was the Mid - Autumn Festival in the Qin Dynasty, a time for family reunions. I missed Mother, so I came back to have a look," Tule Haojia said and stared intently at the King of the Grassland's face, eager to know his reaction.
But to Tule Haojia's disappointment, the King of the Grassland showed no expression at all, as if he hadn't heard what Tule Haojia had just said.
"Father..." Tule Haojia called him again, quietly clenching his fists.
"Why do you suddenly want to see your mother? I once told you that you would be able to see your mother after you achieved great things," the King of the Grassland said indifferently.
Suddenly, Tule Haojia erupted in anger. "By that time, will I see my mother or just her ashes?" The veins on Tule Haojia's neck stood out.
"Where did you hear such nonsense?" Finally, there was a change in the King of the Grassland's expression, but his expression made Tule Haojia feel disgusted.
"Although I used your mother to threaten you, I'm not so heartless as to take a woman's life," the King of the Grassland walked up to Tule Haojia, looking at him. There was not a trace of panic in his eyes.
"I've raised you for so many years. Don't you know me well?"
Tule Haojia looked at the King of the Grassland without saying a word. Of course he knew him well. That was exactly why he believed that his mother was already dead... And Jian Yi had already investigated clearly. In the face of the facts, this man still wanted to lie to him.
"Father, I know you well. I know you better than anyone else," Tule Haojia stared fixedly into the King of the Grassland's eyes. "But precisely because I know you, I won't believe you until I see my mother."
After saying that, Tule Haojia took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it on the King of the Grassland's neck. "I want to see my mother!"
The King of the Grassland didn't panic when he saw the dagger on his neck. "Do you know why I've been sitting on the throne of the King of the Grassland for so many years...?" The King of the Grassland wiggled his fingers and continued, "It's because I rely not only on my brain."
After saying that, he quickly shook off the dagger that Tule Haojia had on his neck. Tule Haojia looked at the King of the Grassland in shock.
He knew that the King of the Grassland knew martial arts and had internal strength, but he didn't expect his internal strength to be so profound.
"I once told you not to bring any weapons when you came to see me. You've made a mistake," the King of the Grassland picked up the dagger on the ground, wiped it, and said indifferently to Tule Haojia.
"This is a good dagger, but you underestimated me, so you didn't bring out its full power."
Tule Haojia knew that he had failed. Since he was doomed to die, he would take someone down with him. Tule Haojia glared menacingly at the King of the Grassland, ready to strike.
"Don't waste your energy. Everything you've learned was taught to you by the people I found. Even if they were all together, they wouldn't be a match for me. Do you think you can?" The King of the Grassland saw through Tule Haojia's thoughts at a glance. He was really overestimating himself.
"How would I know if I don't try?" The martial arts he had indeed been taught by the people this man had found, but the art of war he had learned on his own. Even in a one - on - one fight, he could flexibly apply those military strategies.
The King of the Grassland sneered mockingly as he watched Tule Haojia attack. He was really overestimating himself.
The King of the Grassland dodged Tule Haojia's attacks, but he didn't fight back. Instead, he seemed to be teasing Tule Haojia.
"Why don't you fight back!" Tule Haojia stared at the King of the Grassland with blood - red eyes. This feeling was just terrible.
"I'll give you one more chance. Apologize now and accept your punishment. You'll still be my child," the King of the Grassland said.
Tule Haojia didn't expect that even at this moment, the King of the Grassland could still say such things. Sure enough, this man had no heart.
"Do you think I'll still stay by your side and be controlled by you? You killed my mother and lied to me for so many years." Just because of these two things, he would never stay by his side again.
The King of the Grassland looked at Tule Haojia with a determined look in his eyes. He was no longer as easy - going as before. "Since you don't repent, then bear my wrath."
He knew that no one who betrayed him would end up well. He had originally wanted to give Tule Haojia a chance because of all the things he had done for him, but he didn't expect him to be so unrepentant.
The King of the Grassland's moves were vicious, targeting Tule Haojia's vital points. Before long, Tule Haojia couldn't hold on any longer and was slapped away by the King of the Grassland.
"Do you regret it now?" the King of the Grassland looked at Tule Haojia disdainfully as he lay on the ground, unable to get up.
"Pfft—"
"I regret... regretting that I didn't kill you just now!" He was so unwilling.
"Guards, Tule Haojia has betrayed the grassland. Take him away!" The King of the Grassland didn't waste any more words and ordered his men to take Tule Haojia away.
"You just wait. One day, this grassland will be trampled flat!" He believed in Jing Xinche and the others.
The King of the Grassland would surely not be content with the status quo. So before long, this grassland would become part of the Qin Dynasty. Hahaha...
The King of the Grassland watched Tule Haojia being taken away with a gloomy face and a deep look in his eyes.
