May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

It was getting late when Wen Yuanshu suddenly wanted to eat at this restaurant, but it would be too slow to send a servant on horseback to buy it, so Lu Chengyuan went himself.

His exceptional lightness skill was put to good use when he was buying meals for Wen Yuanshu.

"The Chanyu should be careful; he might not be so lucky next time."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Lu Chengyuan's figure disappeared into the vast night.

Looking in the direction where his figure disappeared, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This Great Zhao... has so many strange people.

Who uses such good skills to buy food?

Having survived this assassination attempt, Huyan Zhuo lost all interest in seeking pleasure and simply returned home.

However, he lay in bed unable to fall asleep.

Just then, a noise came from outside the window, and Hu Yanzhuo immediately became alert, put on his clothes, grabbed his scimitar, and went out the door.

The person standing outside was not an assassin, but an old man.

The old man was already in his seventies, dressed in a crimson robe, exuding the air of a high-ranking person who had long held a position of power.

The old man turned around, his cloudy eyes scanning Hu Yanzhuo for a moment before finally settling on the scimitar in his hand: "Hu Yan Chanyu, you don't even recognize this old man?"

Hu Yanzhuo then realized what was happening and sheathed his scimitar: "So it's Lord Qin."

Grand Secretary Qin grunted in agreement and then said, "I heard that Huyan Chanyu was assassinated on the road. I was worried, so I came here to check on him."

Hu Yanzhu smiled enigmatically: "Lord Qin, as a Grand Secretary of the Great Zhao, is so concerned about me, a foreigner. I wonder what the Emperor of the Great Zhao would think if he knew?"

"I never care what others think," Elder Qin's gaze remained fixed on him. "I only feel sorry for Huyan Chanyu. He was assassinated in a foreign land and suffered such a great injustice. I wonder if Chanyu can swallow this anger?"

Hu Yanzhuo chuckled upon hearing this: "Lord Qin, you were so shrewd and resourceful in helping me seize the position of Chanyu back then, how come you're using such a simplistic provocation tactic right now?"

Grand Secretary Qin also laughed: "Whether it's shallow or deep is not important. The Chanyu only needs to remember how he came to be the Chanyu."

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in those murky eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yanzhuo's expression changed immediately.

So they weren't there to provoke us at all, but to give us orders.

Hu Yanzhu chuckled softly, casually tossing his scimitar aside, and said, "Speak freely, sir."

"I have already made my purpose clear," Elder Qin said in a particularly meaningful tone. "I suppose the Chanyu also feels wronged and wants to seek justice?"

Hu Yanzhuo was taken aback: "...Does Your Excellency mean..."

"Your Majesty need not concern yourself with what I mean. Just go and see His Majesty first thing tomorrow morning and tell him your grievances."

Hu Yanzhuo frowned deeply: "Does His Majesty the Emperor of Da Zhao care about my safety?"

He is a foreigner.

If he were to die in the capital today, the Emperor of Dazhao would probably set off firecrackers in the palace tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he would order the General of the Cavalry to lead his army to subdue the barbarians, and then give a Dazhao man an official position and let him go.

"The Emperor's Meeting".

After leaving those words, Grand Secretary Qin turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but grind his teeth.

This old man came over without saying a word; he really treats him like a servant!

However, since Grand Secretary Qin has made this arrangement, he must already know who is behind his attack.

As he pondered this, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but feel puzzled again.

Grand Secretary Qin's actions clearly show that he cannot stand the good fortune of the Great Zhao Dynasty and therefore wants to disrupt the current situation.

But why did he do this?

Hu Yanzhuo thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, picked up his scimitar again, and went back into the house.

The next morning, Hu Yanzhuo was woken up by Qin Gelao's men.
