C499 The Changes of the Western King

"What is West Suppressing King thinking?"

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly turned his head, causing Hsiang Yunkong to panic immediately. He could not quickly return to his normal expression.

"Haha, it's nothing. It's just that I have a lot of things to do recently. I have to think about it!"

Hsiang Yunkong laughed dryly. After making sure that Ye Tian did not have any other intentions, he did not continue to be nervous.

The two of them went to the meeting hall at the border. At this time, all the generals under Hsiang Yunkong were waiting for Hsiang Yunkong's return.

Ye Tian had come to Western Front before and was rather familiar with these generals. However, seeing them this time gave Ye Tian a strange feeling.

Although the generals who fought on the battlefield were iron-blooded, they valued relationships very much. Before this, Ye Tian had helped them a lot. After the alliance with Hsiang Yunjie, Hsiang Yunkong's generals were even closer to Ye Tian.

But now, when they looked at Ye Tian, they seemed very unfamiliar to him. Ye Tian could even feel that some of them were a little nervous.

"What are you all doing? Don't you know how to talk when you see Ye Hou? Is this how I usually educate you?"

At this moment, Hsiang Yunkong, who was standing beside Ye Tian, had a fierce look in his eyes. He started to scold his subordinates. These generals immediately reacted and bowed to Ye Tian.

It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but from Ye Tian's point of view, these people seemed to have received Hsiang Yunkong's hint just now.

However, there was no evidence at the moment. Ye Tian's illness could not be completely confirmed, so he could only continue to search for clues here.

Everyone sat down and did not discuss any war. Instead, they started to chat, which made Ye Tian feel that something was not right.

Because before this, Hsiang Yunkong would never find all the generals under his command by his side. As long as there was nothing wrong, everyone would carry out their duties and would not easily gather together.

Now, everyone was staying together, and there was not even a proper matter to discuss. Some of the generals even seemed to be sleepy, and did not look like they were in a tough situation like before.

"West Suppressing King, why didn't you respond when the Crown Prince sent a message here?"

Ye Tian also took the opportunity to ask about this matter, causing the latter to be stunned.

"Hey, don't mention it. Recently, there have been a lot of things happening on the border. We are so busy that we have no time to reply to the Crown Prince. Besides, isn't there still Ye Hou on the Crown Prince's side?"

Hsiang Yunkong casually waved his hand. Only after seeing Ye Tian nod his head lightly did his face relax a little.

However, he didn't know that his answer was full of flaws. Ye Tian had already found out about it a long time ago.

"Since you said that the matters here are very complicated, then since I'm already here, I'll help you. See if there's anything you need me to do!"

Ye Tian directly took over everything without any hesitation. Hsiang Yunkong's expression immediately became awkward, and then he repeatedly declined. However, Ye Tian didn't want to give up at all, and let the situation become tense.

"Marshal, isn't there still a matter that we haven't resolved yet? The Nayi Clan has been unwilling to submit to us all this time. We might as well let Ye Hou settle this matter now!"

Just as the two of them were arguing, one of the generals spoke up, causing Hsiang Yunkong's expression to become even uglier.

Regarding this, Ye Tian raised his eyebrows. He knew some things about the Nayi Clan.

The Nayi Clan was a small tribe outside the Western Front of the Chu Country. Its population had yet to reach a thousand, and it could be said that it wasn't as big as a village in the Chu Country.

However, the Nayi Clan was proficient in the art of herbs. Some of their clansmen became doctors who treated others. Some of them used the poisonous vines and evil grass in the mountains to become invisible doctors that killed people.

Such a small village, with a few hundred people, was guaranteed to exist forever.

However, the relationship between the Nayi Clan and the Chu Country was neither deep nor shallow. When the other tribes were coveting the Chu Country, the Nayi Clan had always been very quiet. They did not fight for it. If they didn't fight with the Chu Country, they would even secretly gift the Chu Country some rare herbs.

The Chu Country hadn't had any ideas about the Nayi Clan for nearly a hundred years. It was just that Hsiang Yunkong's plan this time would disrupt their relationship for a long time.

"West Suppressing King, you should know that there are enemies outside the border. Although some of them aren't friends, they aren't enemies either. If you attack them recklessly, you will bring disaster to yourself!"0

Regarding this, Ye Tian was a little emotional. After all, such a matter was not something that could be decided by a general on the border. If they attacked the Nayi Clan, even the royal family in the Imperial City would not know about it!

"If the king finds out about this matter, he won't agree to it. Our current situation isn't good. Why do we need to complicate things?"

Ye Tian immediately tried to dissuade him. Although Chu King was in charge of the Imperial City, if he knew that Hsiang Yunkong had done such a thing, he would surely issue a decree to stop this matter.

"What does he know? I have been guarding this place all this time. I know the situation here better than anyone else. Ye Hou, I think even you don't know the situation here better than me, right?"

Hsiang Yunkong waved his hand impatiently, revealing more of his flaws. However, Ye Tian didn't expose it directly, so he didn't feel that something was wrong.

In the entire Chu Country, if one were to say that the great officials in the territory were their own feudal vassals, it would be somewhat out of Chu King's control in the Imperial City. However, the Western Front belonged to Chu King.

The reason why Hsiang Yunkong was asked to guard it was to let Hsiang Yunkong represent the Imperial Family. It seemed like Hsiang Yunkong was also a feudal official, but in some real matters, he had to listen to Chu King's opinion.

Before this, although Hsiang Yunkong and Chu King had only met for a very short period of time, the father and son had always been united. Hsiang Yunkong could absolutely comply with Chu King's words.

In fact, Hsiang Yunkong wouldn't have any doubts when facing Chu King. As long as his father spoke, it would be absolutely correct.

But now, Hsiang Yunkong wasn't behaving like before. Instead, he seemed very irritable and didn't listen to Chu King's orders anymore.

Ye Tian was calculating the flaws of everything in his mind. Although it was different from before, the strange thing was that this matter didn't allow Ye Tian to find any clues.

Hsiang Yunkong and the surrounding generals were still behaving the same as before. It was just that their minds had changed, and there wasn't much of a difference between them.

Now, Ye Tian had no idea whether it was because of what had happened in Western Front, or if Hsiang Yunkong had changed his mind.

"Ye Hou, if you really want to help me, I'll leave the matters of Nayi Clan to you. I believe that with your means, you will definitely bring Nayi Clan into the territory of Chu Country!"

Hsiang Yunkong's eyes turned and his palm suddenly landed on Ye Tian's shoulder, seeming very unstable.

A border general was regarded as a war god by the enemy. Such a frivolous action made things even more abnormal.

Ye Tian saw through everything, but now was not the time to tell the truth. He could only smile and accept the request.

"Then we have to make a military order. If you can't do this, I can't be partial to you, understand?"

After Ye Tian agreed to it, Hsiang Yunkong actually brought up the military order. It was not a simple request at all!
