Theas Zu An held her in his embrace, so loudly that even Zu An could hear it
“Xiao Tuo, why are you so nervous?” Zu An suddenly knehy people loved having authority Harassing those beneath you while being in a superior position, holding all the cards in your hands… This really was a pretty good feeling
“I’ to explain her way out of it
Zu An alhed out loud when he sa anxious she was It seems these people from the past were rather simple Even specially-trained fehts There was no way he would be able to see through the spies of later feudal dynasties so easily
Thethat she wouldn’t be able to get away from him, at least for some time In that case, she would use this opportunity to co master’s mission
Zu An took this opportunity to ask about so else “By the way, since Tuo State is to the east, do you know anything about the Eastern Barbarians?”
He knew that asking her about her real motives directly was a useless endeavor, so he decided to ask her sos she couldn’t possibly lie about With that, he would gradually lower her vigilance before co around to the main matter
“The Eastern Barbarians?” The maid was taken aback She didn’t expect hi co Faction?
This incomatic to her, but she replied nonetheless “I know a bit about them They excel at the use of the bow and arrow, and their custo State…”
Zu An nodded as he listened to her reply He was able to learn a lot more about the Eastern Barbarians from her “By the way, do you knoho the princess of the Eastern Barbarian is? Do they have a jade badge as their national treasure?”
He recalled the pro lady in the upper to also e The Eastern Barbarians were a part of this period after all
“The Eastern Barbarian princess?” The reat battle between the Shang State and the Eastern Barbarians two years ago Our Great Shang won a great victory, and princess Jiang was captured”
“Where is she?” Zu An asked iely “She was offered up as a sacrifice already Her head was even put into a bronze earthenware vessel and steamed”
Zu An was h, I really feel bad for Jiangjiang I wanted to see if I could save her since I’uess there’s no way to change her tragic fate…
“What about the jade badge that belongs to the Eastern Barbarians?” asked Zu An Asher spirit peace
Theto the Eastern Barbarians, the jade badge has spiritual properties That is why it is currently in the hands of the high priest, who uses it to strengthen the offering rituals”
“The high priest?” Zu An recalled her hesitant expression and said, “Xiao Tuo, are you close to the high priest?”
The maid see has h priest is venerable, and this servant doesn’t dare to have any presuhts That hy I was hesitant in h priests of this age were considered the emissaries of deities, and from a certain point of view, they could be considered of equal status as the Shangback the divine authority earlier on, probably because the current high priest wasn’t on their side
“Tell h priest,” Zu An said “What is his naer How can you not know this? Are you possessed? But she still replied, “The High Priest’s na, and he is your cousin…”
Zu An listened to her reply, asking further questions when necessary, and finally got an idea of who this high priest was The high priest was the son of a previous Shang , so he passed on the throne to his younger brother Xiao Yi, as Wu Ding’s father
This made the situation much clearer Lian was definitely unhappy that Xiao Yi had passed on the throne to his own son Given the usual way things worked, the throne should have belonged to him and his line That hy he was disloyal
He hadn’t watched all those drah these relationshi+ps
Objectively speaking, it wasn’t Lian’s fault for being unhappy If such a thing had happened to him, Zu An would also want to find a way to seize back what he deemed to be his family’s throne
Of course, Zu An was currently Wu Ding Furtherthis, there was no way he would just abdicate the throne
“My king, you seem to place a lot of trust in the Lord Prime Minister,” the maid suddenly said
Zu An noticed that she had deliberately changed the subject She clearly didn’t wish to talk ood
