Chapter 359 Royal Court Upheaval

Still wondering what had happened here, Bao Qimeng saw the blood-soaked Prince of the West stagger in.

Seeing him in this state, the anger in Bao Qimeng's heart soared.

"Tell me, what happened here!"

Seeing Bao Qimeng's angry appearance, the Prince of the West gave a miserable smile and lay directly on the ground.

Seeing that the Prince of the West was clearly taking in more air than he was exhaling, Bao Qimeng quickly strode forward.

"Tell me what happened here! Why did you attack my brother!"

Looking at the furious Bao Qimeng, the Prince of the West seemed to have expected this reaction.

"You may not know, but the brother you've always admired is just a puppet raised by someone else. I'm just helping him to break free."

"Instead of placing all this hatred on me, you might as well find the person who's manipulating your brother from behind. If you can expose him, everything I've done will be worth it."

"What we need now is someone who can control everything, not a guy like your brother who only knows how to compromise."

After saying that, he coughed violently a few times, then spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out. Seeing this, the anger in Bao Qimeng's heart soared again.

At Bao Qimeng's command, his own guards rushed in, only to freeze in place at the sight before them.

"Get the best doctor here. I need him to live."

As Bao Qimeng said this, the expression on his face became extremely distorted. Before he could find out who was responsible for all this, he would never let the Prince of the West die.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mei Pengfei quickly retreated, without any intention of hesitating.

Hearing the commotion caused by Mei Pengfei's departure, Bao Qimeng immediately sent people to chase after him, but when they arrived, there was only a mess left, with no trace of him.

Having done all this, Mei Pengfei left the Xiongnu territory as if nothing had happened. Although he was furious that the puppet he had painstakingly cultivated had been ruined, these events now seemed to be developing in the direction he had hoped for.

However, Mei Pengfei didn't notice that as he slowly left, a figure also appeared here.

"You say you're their prince. In that case, stay here and tell me everything about their past. Once I'm ready, I'll make them pay for their blood debts."

Looking at the Jiang Zuo Prince, who was following him like a lackey, Bao Qimeng was filled with rage. At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to avenge his brother, even if it meant using his last ounce of strength.

But before that, he had one very important thing to resolve.

When Bao Qimeng led a large group of prepared men to the outside of the Stone Gate Pass, he saw that it had already been repaired. Realizing that all the lives lost before had been for nothing, Bao Qimeng felt a pang of desolation in his heart. He couldn't understand why this carefully prepared attack had ended in such a humiliating manner.

Seeing the Xiongnu delegation slowly appear before him, Jiang Chen went straight to meet them. Seeing the smile on Jiang Chen's face, Bao Qimeng felt as if he was being pricked by needles, but he had to force a smile and walk forward.

"I never thought that the Xiongnu would now be led by a woman."

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, Bao Qimeng, whose mood was already terrible, became even more gloomy.

But after thinking about certain things, he had to suppress the angry thoughts in his heart.

"You're joking. I only got this position by chance. I wonder what you think about it."

As Bao Qimeng said this, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen.

In Bao Qimeng's view, the root cause of everything was Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen hadn't sent people to interfere from behind, these problems would never have happened.

"Now that we're here, why don't we talk about how these matters should be handled next?"

Bao Qimeng said, focusing his attention on Jiang Chen from the start. Just as he thought that Jiang Chen would inevitably reveal something due to some reason, Jiang Chen turned and called over his subordinates, who had already been prepared.

"This invasion was launched recklessly by you Xiongnu. Although we responded in a timely manner, we suffered considerable losses as a result. Therefore, we believe that you should pay for a portion of these losses."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen casually placed a prepared list in front of them. Seeing the list that Jiang Chen had drawn up, Bao Qimeng's face instantly turned pitch black. In his view, Jiang Chen's current actions were nothing short of humiliating them.

"You think you can take advantage of us, is that it?"

As Bao Qimeng said this, he was desperately suppressing the anger in his heart. But just when he thought that Jiang Chen would back down because of this, Jiang Chen put on an extremely indifferent look.

"If you think you can fight us again, then how about we settle things under the blade?"

After saying that, the people behind Jiang Chen all adopted a posture ready for battle.

Seeing the large number of people standing on Jiang Chen's city wall, Bao Qimeng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and gave up the idea of continuing to be enemies with Jiang Chen.

Bao Qimeng understood that the current Xiongnu could not withstand another great war. If he fought with Jiang Chen again now, he would not be a match for Jiang Chen with the manpower of his tribe alone. Because of this, Bao Qimeng had to lower his noble head to Jiang Chen with humiliation.

"Let's leave the details here to our subordinates to discuss, how about you and I go out for a walk and talk about future cooperation?"

Jiang Chen naturally did not refuse such an invitation.

After leaving the negotiation to his subordinates, Jiang Chen stood up and walked out.
