Chapter 2136 - Powerful Allies! (1/2)
The army Ishbara Khagan had summoned tightly surrounded the area. He had clearly planned this entire operation out and was doing this to ensure that no news leaked out.
He did not want the war with the Great Tang to break out before the major war of the northeast.
Lu Ting and Wang Chong had a rather deep relationship. This was another important factor in keeping a tight lid on the news.
Whoosh!
A few moments later, several Wolfguards had tied up Barshad.
“Imperial Father!”
Barshad stared at Ishbara Khagan. His father had truly set his mind to it!
Before this, he had clung to some hope that there was still some space to negotiate, that his father could let him go. But for the welfare of the Western Turks and for the sake of his own ambition, his father was determined to sacrifice him.
At this moment, the father that had always loved and cherished him was truly dead!
No, perhaps it was better to say that he had only ever cherished the deceased Khatun!
Barshad dropped his head.
“Ishbara, you dare!” Lu Ting cried out.
“Kill them!” Ishbara Khagan callously ordered.
But a moment later…
Bang!
Screams broke out as a bolt of energy erupted, blasting away the Wolfguards and nearby generals.
Two figures appeared next to Lu Ting, respectively black and white, both brimming with energy.
At the same time, two spurts of blood flashed at Barshad’s side, as the two Wolfguards beside him were instantly beheaded and sent falling backward.
“Such impudence! You dare!”
A furious roar almost shook the tent into pieces, and even the vast body of Mount Sanmi trembled. Ishbara Khagan’s beard trembled as his eyes stared in a certain direction. However, these words were not targeted at Lu Ting, but at the man behind Barshad, Duwu Sili.
Just a moment ago, Duwu Sili had taken up his saber and killed the two Wolfguards who had seized Barshad.
“Duwu Sili, such audacity!”
With a thunderous bellow, Wunu Shibi took out his saber and angrily stared at Duwu Sili.
The Khagan had a supreme status in the eyes of the Western Turks. Duwu Sili’s actions were no different from rebellion.
“Imperial Father, have you truly become so heartless? For your dream of the Great Turkic Khaganate, you would sacrifice me without hesitation? Are you truly so sure that An Yaluoshan’s alliance can smoothly conquer the Great Tang to live through this cold wave?” Barshad slowly raised his head, revealing his eyes that were red with grief.
“Treasonous son, what are you thinking? Are you making an enemy of Us?”
Ishbara Khagan narrowed his eyes, his voice cold.
Even now, he had not relinquished his resolve to sacrifice Barshad.
“Imperial Father, you wish to kill your lowly son. Your lowly son has no other choice!” Barshad declared, his expression turning much harsher.
Ishbara Khagan’s eyes widened in ill foreboding.
Before he could react, Barshad suddenly waved a sleeve. Phweee! A sharp whistle pierced through the snowstorm.
Rumble!
After what seemed like both a second and like many epochs, a heaven-shaking rumble came from all sides, even louder than the stir created by Ishbara Khagan’s forces. At this moment, a large number of soldiers was encircling Mount Sanmi.
“Barshad, you dare!”
Irbis Shiyun was both shocked and infuriated. He gnashed his teeth and stared at Barshad, his face twisted into ugliness.
He truly had been the architect behind today’s events, but it had already gone completely beyond his control. But even more surprising to him was that the timid Fourth Prince would be so unfathomably shrewd and scheming.
He had hidden soldiers nearby long ago!
And judging by the current situation, there was a high chance that he had been colluding with the Great Tang for some time.
“Wunu Shibi, kill him!”
Irbis Shiyun pointed at Barshad, his face ashen.
On the other side, Barshad completely ignored him.
