Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

Chapter 516: Chapter 277: The Emperor of Great Zhou is a Fierce Character_2

Yitu said with disbelief on his face: "The Great Zhou people are trying to scare us."

Upon hearing Yitu say this, a sneer appeared on Wuwei’s face: "If the Thousand Riders Commander doesn’t believe it, you can continue to provoke the Great Zhou and see if you’ll be the first among us to die."

When Wuwei cursed him to die, Yitu was filled with rage and was about to say something when he heard Hu Yanping say: "The Great Zhou people are not trying to scare us."

"My lord!" Yitu exclaimed incredulously.

The other people’s faces were also filled with disbelief.

"Wuwei is right; the Great Zhou people do not fear us Xiongnu." Before arriving in the Great Zhou capital, Hu Yanping also thought the Great Zhou people feared them Xiongnu and would be so scared when they saw them that their knees would go weak, but it wasn’t so. The capital’s commoners showed fear in their eyes when they saw them, but the Great Zhou officials did not.

When the Director of the Ministry of Rites saw them, there was not a trace of fear in their eyes, only vigilance. He couldn’t tell if it was his illusion, but it seemed like the eyes of those military officers burned intensely for a moment when they looked at them, like wolves seeing sheep.

"Impossible, the Central Plains people have always been afraid of us Xiongnu, never daring to oppose us." Yitu had elders in his family who invaded the Central Plains decades ago and fought the Central Plains people, knowing what the Central Plains people were like. "The Central Plains people have always sent their princesses and gold and silver jewelry to us so we wouldn’t attack them..."

Wuwei interrupted Yitu’s words: "Those were the Central Plains people of the past, not the Great Zhou people now." He said while furrowing his brow, "The current Emperor of Great Zhou is different from the past Central Plains emperors; he is a ruthless character." Before coming to Great Zhou, Wuwei and the others had naturally gathered some information about Great Zhou and had some understanding of the Great Zhou emperor.

Yitu still wanted to refute, but Hu Yanping raised a hand to stop him, so he had to obediently shut his mouth.

"Wuwei, what do you think the Great Zhou people will do next?"

"If I’m not mistaken, we won’t see the Emperor of Great Zhou for the time being."

Hu Yanping asked in confusion: "Why is that?"

"To teach us a lesson." Wuwei glanced at Yitu and continued, "As soon as we arrived in the capital of Great Zhou, we provoked Great Zhou. The emperor of Great Zhou will definitely be angry and won’t meet us easily; he might let us cool off for a few days."

Upon hearing this, anger flashed in Yitu’s eyes immediately. However, since Hu Yanping didn’t allow him to speak, he didn’t roar this time.

Hu Yanping furrowed his brows, his face somewhat solemn as he asked: "How many days do you think the Emperor of Great Zhou will make us wait?"

"He won’t meet us for less than three days." Wuwei said, then poured himself a cup of tea. Other than that, the tea in Great Zhou was indeed quite good.

Hu Yanping continued to ask: "What do you think we should do?"

"Before the Emperor of Great Zhou summons us, we can only honestly stay in the hostel."

After Wuwei finished saying this, he saw the others with an indignant look, seemingly very disagreeable with what he said.

"If you can’t sit still, you can go out for a walk, but the Great Zhou people will follow you closely." Wuwei glanced at Yitu and the others, saying in a mocking tone.

Hu Yanping did not approve of them passively waiting for the Emperor of Great Zhou to summon them: "If we wait passively, it would undermine the dignity of the Xiongnu. We must make the Emperor of Great Zhou see us immediately."

Wuwei asked: "Does the Left Commander have any ideas?"

"No, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, that is, we go to request an audience with the Emperor of Great Zhou..."

Before he finished his words, Yitu couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted him: "Wuwei, how dare you suggest we request an audience with the Emperor of Great Zhou, you are humiliating us!"

"Fine, if you don’t want to request an audience, then how do you propose we get the Emperor of Great Zhou to see us?" Wuwei looked at Yitu, who was full of anger, with irony, "Are you going to continue to provoke the Great Zhou people and force the Emperor of Great Zhou to come see us?"

Yitu was indeed thinking that way.

"If you do this, I’m afraid we’ll never get to see the Emperor of Great Zhou." Wuwei coldly said, "We will all end up buried with you, die in Great Zhou, and never return to the grasslands."

"I don’t believe the Great Zhou people would really dare to kill us." Yitu always thought Wuwei was deliberately trying to scare them, "If the Great Zhou people kill us, our Xiongnu iron cavalry will surely flatten Great Zhou!"

The group of Xiongnu standing behind Yitu all said in unison: "That’s right, flatten Great Zhou!"

Wuwei pointed to the door and said to Yitu: "You can go out now and kill the Great Zhou people guarding the hostel, and see if the Great Zhou people dare to kill you, see if the Great Zhou people are afraid of our Xiongnu iron cavalry!" Why did he come to Great Zhou with this group of foolish people? While they were being foolish, not to mention gathering the true plot of Great Zhou, they would probably lose their lives and never return to the grasslands.
