ATBLM [QT] Chapter 162.2

“Are you going out?”

Ogle lowered his eyes and said, “Yes.”

“Have you gone to the north side of the mountain to see it? We made a bet before, and you lost.”

Ogle’s face suddenly turned pale. He clenched his teeth tightly.

Urhan seemed not to notice it. After saying these two sentences, he and Jiang Rui continued walking forward.

The two of them were playing riddles. She didn’t know what the bet that they were talking about meant. Jiang Rui didn’t ask any questions, but he took the initiative and said it.

“Over the mountain in the distance is the territory of a group of wolves. The alpha wolf is old, and there is a male wolf who often challenges his position. Ogle thinks that the male wolf will succeed. But, I think the alpha wolf will still be the wolf king. So, we made a bet.”

“So that male wolf failed?” Jiang Rui continued his words.

Urhan nodded, “Yes, I rode horseback to find the group of wolves this morning. The leader was still there, but there was no young male wolf in the group.”

Jiang Rui guessed: “Has it been expelled? Will it come to the mountains to hunt?”

“No,” Urhan glanced at her and said calmly, “It was killed.”

In a group of wolves, there are only two results for a male wolf challenging the alpha wolf. One is success. The wolf king is injured and expelled, and they are leaving him alone to wait for death. The other is failure, and the male wolf is killed. If there is a lack of food in the season, the carcass will be eaten by other wolves.

No wonder Ogle looked so ugly just now. Jiang Rui thought to herself, that if it was just an ordinary bet, it would not have reached this level.

That young male wolf and the alpha wolf were very similar to Ogle and Urhan in their current status. The only difference was that the alpha wolf was older, while Urhan was in the prime of his youth.

Jiang Rui felt that although the people of the Di tribe seemed to support Urhan’s throne, there must be forces belonging to the former King Khan who was dissatisfied with it, especially Ogle. After all, he was the one closest to the throne.

If you have never seen hope, you will not have extravagant hopes.

Just like ordinary Di people, they will not covet the throne, nor will they care who is vying for the throne. As long as the person sitting on it is strong enough to convince the crowd. That’s why they love Urhan so sincerely.

But for Ogle, Urhan was his opponent, even his mortal enemy.

From this point of view, she felt that she could guess who was behind the assassination yesterday. Even if Ogle was not the mastermind, he was an accomplice along the way.

In a place so close to the Royal Court of the Di tribe, if it weren’t for the internal agent, how could the so-called robbers get in?

As for the purpose of the other party, it was easy to guess. The marriage between Beidi and Jokhang would definitely affect the interests of other tribes in the north.

As long as Princess Chaoyang was killed, Urhan would be blamed, saying that he was unwilling to marry a Jokhang woman, so he killed her outside the Royal Court. By then, the war between the two parties could once again arise.

Other tribes could take advantage of the situation and openly invade the Di tribe’s pasture. As for Ogle, he was probably waiting for Urhan to go to war, occupy the magpie’s nest from the rear, and seize the throne.

It had to be said that he was really a real short-sighted idiot who could figure out the trick of seeking skin from a tiger. No wonder he lost to Urhan.

Urhan was also thinking about this. He looked at Jiang Rui and apologized: “The robbers yesterday were related to Ogle, but I can’t kill him to avenge you.”

Jiang Rui was not surprised. Not to mention that the assassination was not successful. Even if it was successful, if Urhan wanted to kill Ogle, it would be difficult for him to pass the tribe’s test.

She remembered that the Di tribe seemed to have an ancestor’s teaching that they should never point the blade at their relatives.

Urhan had something to say, but he thought about it and swallowed it, intending to treat it as a surprise for his Yanshi. He couldn’t kill Ogle, but he could kill Ogle’s master.

As long as there wasn’t that scheming old man, Ogle would be an eagle with broken wings, a wolf with its claws pulled out, just a waste.

He planned to slit the old man’s throat at the wedding celebration and use his blood to celebrate Yanshi’s arrival. She should like it.

*****

The author has something to say:

Old Nine: I prepared a wedding gift, my Yanshi must be very happy~

Translator’s Comment:

Jiang Rui: What kind of misunderstanding is it? Does he think that I am a kind of bloodthirsty woman?
