If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

In the negotiations between the tribe and Haoyue, the tribe showed enough sincerity. Not only did the Great Elder personally bring all the clan leaders including the Second Elder and the Third Elder to meet Situ Yixu and hand over the letter of surrender personally, but he also promised that as long as Haoyue could give the tribe a few years of buffer period, any conditions could be agreed to.

Situ Yixu received the order from the capital, and for Meixiang's sake, and seeing that the attitude of the great elder was commendable, he did not ask for too much.

No land was ceded, no hostages were taken, and even the war reparations were paid. The amount was enough to make the tribe feel the pain and to deter other small neighboring countries that were ready to make moves. However, considering the real difficulties of the tribe, they were allowed to repay the money over a period of 20 years.

Twenty years was enough for Haoyue to develop his own strength, and the amount shared would be acceptable to the tribe. The people in charge of both sides understood that it was because of Meixiang's face that things went so smoothly.

Five days later, the tribe and Haoyue signed a 100-year friendship agreement at Dangkou, which was signed by the two countries, winning a hundred years of stable life for the people of the two countries.

The elder held tightly in his hand the document signed by Situ Yixu on behalf of Haoyue, and his heart could not calm down for a long time. The tribe had a healthy newborn, and now they had fought for a hundred years of peace. This treaty was both a humiliation and a guarantee for the tribe.

From now on, for at least thirty to fifty years, the tribe can rely on the mighty Haoyue Mountain. I believe that no one will dare to provoke us.

Looking at the contract in front of him, Situ Yixu also breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, the people in the tribe were sensible and did not embarrass him or the princess.

At the same time, he had to admire the eldest princess. Although she did not appear in person this time, her shadow was everywhere. During the entire negotiation process, both sides were restrained and humble, which made things go so smoothly and both sides were satisfied.

He looked up inadvertently and saw Commander Liu of Yuanzhou Prefecture, who was sitting below him, fidgeting anxiously and almost scratching his head. Then he remembered what he had been begging him to do these days.

After coughing lightly, Situ Yixu gave him a calming look, then turned to look at the elder who was still immersed in his thoughts, and asked in a deep voice: "Elder, Situ has an unwelcome request. Do you think I should say it?"

"Ah, from now on we are a family. General Situ, you are welcome. If you need anything from me, please feel free to ask. As long as we can do it, we will never refuse."

The elder who had called the roll came back to his senses and quickly responded. Everyone in the room quickly searched in their minds for someone or something in the tribe that made General Situ speak. Could it be because of Situ Yidong's matter? Was Haoyue dissatisfied with the treatment of the eldest prince and others?

Seeing the anxious looks of the Great Elder and the others, Situ Yixu laughed out loud, "Great Elder, don't be nervous. It's not a big deal. I just want to ask you about someone. Do you know the owner of this hairpin?"

As he said this, he gestured to Captain Liu to hand the hairpin that he had been holding tightly in his hand to the chief.

The eldest elder took a look at Captain Liu, reached out to take it, looked at it over and over, and handed it to the second elder beside him, "I have no impression of this, you all take a closer look, have you seen it before?"

After seeing them one by one, Tiger Chief and the others all shook their heads. They had never seen such a thing before. Only the Third Elder looked thoughtful.

"Third sister, have you ever seen it?"

As soon as the first elder finished speaking, everyone in the room focused their attention on the third elder.

Captain Liu especially glued his eyes directly to her face, not wanting to miss a single detail, "Third Elder, have you seen this hairpin?"

The Third Elder was not affected by his impatient tone, but asked cautiously: "Captain Liu, what is your relationship with the owner of this hairpin?"

"This was a birthday gift for my wife. At that time, she was already two months pregnant. There was also an identical hairpin. We hoped that the baby in her belly would be a girl."

"Madam now?"

"It's lost. I've been looking for it for more than ten years and still can't find it."

This is another sad story.

More than a decade ago, Captain Liu was still an inconspicuous captain in the military camp. Mrs. Liu had just found out that she was pregnant, and the young couple had not had time to be happy. Captain Liu was summoned to attack the northern land.

At that time, Haoyue had just established the country and the situation was very unstable. Not long after Liu Duwei left, a riot broke out in the state capital where Mrs. Liu lived, and she had to flee with the refugees while pregnant.

"When we won the battle and returned to the court, there was no trace of my wife at home. Over the past ten years, whenever I had the chance, I requested to be transferred to the place where my wife had been, and I would dig three feet underground to find her. Unfortunately, the clues were cut off when I reached Yuanzhou Prefecture."

Speaking of this, Captain Liu, who is nearly 40 years old, is already sweating profusely. God knows how he has managed to survive all these years.

"Then, what about this hairpin?" The third elder pointed at the hairpin that had returned to Captain Liu's hand and asked.

Captain Li, who was sitting next to him, reached out and patted his shoulder. Captain Liu nodded in gratitude, took a deep breath and continued, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight. Just when I was about to give up, that is, on the eve of the outbreak of this war, one time, on my way home from the government office, a stranger handed me a letter with a letter in it, asking me to cooperate with them as an insider."

The result is predictable. "I, I sat in the study for three days and three nights, but I didn't agree in the end. I, I, I can't ignore the people of Haoyue because of my own affairs. The Princess and Master Situ spent several years to make the people of Liuzhou live a good life. I can't be so selfish!"

After saying this, Captain Liu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. With shaking hands, he took out a piece of paper from his arms. This matter was like a mountain pressing down on his heart, making him unable to sleep or eat. On one side was his beloved wife and children, and on the other side was the country for which he had shed his blood. It was as if there were two villains in his mind, fighting non-stop every day.

Looking at Captain Liu, whose hair had turned white in a few days, Situ Yixu and others couldn't help but stand in awe. No one could understand Captain Liu's feelings better than them. A man sheds blood and sweat outside, isn't it just for his wife and children at home to have a stable life?

But when you finish the war covered with scars and return home full of hope, only to find that home is no longer your home and your wife and children are nowhere to be found, how hopeless and heartbreaking it will be.

"Look, is this the hairpin?" The third elder's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice trembled a little as he spoke. He took out a tightly wrapped small cloth from his arms.

As they opened the layers one by one, they found a hairpin inside that was exactly the same as the one Captain Liu was holding, only it was much smaller.
