Chapter 106 - 71: Phoenix’s Gift
Tuyuhun, annihilated?
Li Guanyi’s thoughts halted briefly. His impression of this nation still stemmed from the time he fled; Tuyuhun occupied the vast Western Regions, a people of horseback. They had once, under their monarch’s command, crushed other tribes of the Western Regions. They sharpened their troops and watched the Central Plains with covetous eyes.
Its territory was so vast, it was hardly smaller than Chen Country.
How could such a powerful and brave country, so sharp and exposed, possibly perish overnight?
Was it that letter?
The thought unconsciously surfaced in Li Guanyi’s mind, but he immediately scattered it. No, that couldn’t be possible. His advice was merely to plunder their land and wealth, to weaken them and strengthen themselves, not a strategy for annihilation.
Tuyuhun was the overlord of the Western Regions; such a colossus disappearing would surely have a tremendous impact on the world. Li Guanyi steadied his spirits and said, "Elder Xue, what happened? Please stop beating around the bush."
"I’m only in my teens."
"I’ve always been here in Jiangnan, how could such a distant affair possibly relate to me?"
The elder said, "... Tuyuhun has become prey in this world."
He pointed his finger at the map.
