Come on, Your Highness

Mu Le finally returned to the royal court amidst the hatred of the Huns as he wished. In order to take the position of Shan Yu, he even killed all the remaining brothers, leaving Lao Shanyu alone.

The seriously ill old Shanyu had no choice but to pass the throne to him.

However, he was not as happy as he had imagined, he looked at Prince Da Qi who was sitting opposite, with a hint of gloom on his face.

Xuan Ling stood beside Xiao Hong, and said in a deep voice: "Third Prince, no, the current Da Chanyu, according to the covenant, you have to give Da Qi [-] war horses, two copper mines, one iron mine, and one coal mine. And the Hexi Fortress. In addition, during the period when the Qi army was fighting against the Xiongnu, all the food and grass the Xiongnu had to be compensated. Of course, it can be converted into silver taels. The most important thing is all the ministers of Honglu Temple in your country. Please send them intact back."

Xiao Hong didn't say a word, he took the fragrant tea that Huang Qi handed over, and drank it in a dignified, elegant and dismissive manner.

This was probably the most elegant tea tasting in his life.

As for Mu Le, looking at Xiao Hong's condescending appearance, he was suddenly suffocated.

He didn't intend to fulfill his promise at all, but Daqi's firearms shook his determination.

The tragic scene of the eldest prince's death still flashed in front of his eyes, reminding him that the current Da Qi could not be offended.

It's just that the promise was straightforward at the beginning, but [-] horses can almost empty the Huns, let alone the mines. The Huns have no resources, and the mines are one of the few rich treasures.

The self-proclaimed wolf on the prairie experienced for the first time what it means to lure a wolf into a house.

Not only him, but all the nobles and leaders of the Xiongnu in the negotiation account of the two armies fell silent, with humiliated expressions on their faces, and looked at Mu Le, begging for mercy not to agree.

Mu Le's long silence aroused Xiao Hong's dissatisfaction. He put the teacup on the low table in front of him and sneered coldly: "Why, want to renege on the debt??"

Mu Le's face was gloomy, but he didn't dare to say harsh words, he forced a smile and said: "His Royal Highness, this king really wants to fulfill his promise, but after this battle, there are too many casualties on the horses of the Huns. It is difficult to deliver to you in a short time..."

Xiao Hong waved his hand when he heard the words: "You talk to General Xuan about this. What Gu cares about is when our ministers will come back?" Xiao Hong played with the wrench on his thumb and looked at Mu Le sharply, "Gu To see He Xichao, we will see you tomorrow."

He Xichao was the biggest bargaining chip in Mu Le's hand, he knew very well that the reason Prince Da Qi was here was to save him.

It is also because of this that I can still sit down and have a good talk.

Now the Da Qi army is lingering in the grasslands of the Xiongnu, with weapons like punishment from heaven in their hands, no one dares to provoke them.

Mu Le now only wants to send the Da Qi army away from the grassland as soon as possible, but the contradiction is that he can't give the conditions he promised in the alliance letter. If he does, he will completely become a sinner on the grassland, which will definitely cause public outrage.

He has attracted foreign enemies to help him rise to power, and he has come on a wrong path.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, this matter has to be discussed in the long term..."

However, before Mu Le finished speaking, Xiao Hong raised his hand and interrupted him: "Gu is very anxious, Gu thinks about him day and night, and I can't wait another day!"

Xiao Hong stood up, looked down at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't see Xi Chao and other officials tomorrow, the Huns will sincerely break the contract. How did your elder brother die, do you still remember?"

As soon as this remark came out, Mueller's eagle-like eyes shrank suddenly.

Once upon a time, after the victory, the Xiongnu threatened the envoys of Daqi who were so arrogant and arrogant, but now it is reversed.

His hands were clenched tightly, the muscles on his face trembled, and he held the scimitar at his waist.

"Chan Yu, calm down." Hu Ke whispered behind him.

Muller's sweaty hand finally let go of the handle of the knife.

Hu Ke thought for a while, then came out with a smile to smooth things over: "His Royal Highness Daqi Prince, Mr. He is under the care of Xiao Wang. For his safety, he is located a little far away from here. Now it is okay to send someone to invite him." It will take three days to arrive, and it is not Shanyu's intention to hold people back, so please stay calm."

Xiao Hong only gave him a cold snort.

"Shanyu has always kept his promises, and he will definitely do what is mentioned in the alliance letter. It's just that he has just taken this position, and there are still a lot of opposition voices. The tribes that once belonged to several princes have not really belonged yet. You know Cattle, sheep and horses in the grassland need to be submitted by various tribes, so... His Royal Highness, please allow some time."

Hu Ke raised his hand in salute, and spoke with caution and humility, which made Xiao Hong's complexion look a lot better.

However, Xuan Ling sneered and said: "How long is this grace period? Could it be half a year or a year, our army will spend time here with you, or simply wait for you to settle down before attacking Daqi instead?"

"Of course not!" Hu Ke immediately denied, "General Xuan can rest assured that it won't take that long. After three days, Lord He will come, and we will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer. Is it possible?"

When Mu Le became Shan Yu, he made Hu Ke king.

Mueller did not object to his words.

"Okay, just three days. If you don't see anyone after three days, Gu will think that the Huns are going to fight again!"

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

As soon as the Daqi people leave.

All kinds of voices of opposition suddenly appeared in the tent.

"Shan Yu, even if he dies in battle, he can't agree to this condition!"

"The eagle on the prairie has only death and no such humiliation. Otherwise, what will the people think?"

"Although that weapon is powerful, it seems that it is not easy to move. If we send [-] horses, wouldn't it be even more powerful?"

"This is the grassland, all our people are here, what are you afraid of!"

……

Hu Ke didn't say anything in the midst of the objections from you and me.

He knew very well what the tribal leaders and nobles in the king's tent meant.

Although the number of [-] horses is indeed a lot, and the iron, copper and coal mines are extremely precious, the Xiongnu cannot afford them.Now the most powerful eldest prince and second prince are dead, and the heads of several tribal leaders who supported them have also lost their heads. On such a large grassland, livestock, population, and pastures are like pieces of fat waiting for these victors to divide up.

Isn't the reason for following the third prince is a larger territory and a larger population?

If it was used to compensate Daqi first, what else could they leave behind?

"We are not cowards. The people on the grasslands are all watching. Shanyu, do you really want to bow your head to those Qi people? Do you feel ashamed when you think about your ancestors?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Mueller's eyes suddenly changed.

During this period of time, he heard too many people scolding him behind his back, the disdainful look of the eldest prince before he died, coward, coward, running dog... all kinds of insulting words.

Although Mu Le didn't care about it before, but when there was no one, his heart felt like being stabbed by a knife.

What the nation on the grassland yearns for is an upright and powerful hero, and what they hate the most is the behavior of a villain, even Muller who betrayed the nation.

He looked back at Hu Ke, and said sinisterly: "Bring He Xi to them. If Prince Daqi wants him to be safe, he'd better leave the grassland."

Hu Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, hesitation appeared on his face, but seeing the unquestionable firmness in Mu Le's eyes, when all the other people in the king's tent looked over sneeringly, he bent down and saluted again: "Yes. "

He turned around and left the king's tent, his eyes turned cold instantly, he beckoned to his confidant next to him expressionlessly, and left in the night.

The Xiongnu's treachery did not surprise Xiao Hong at all.

It's just that the generals below couldn't help worrying about He Xichao who was still in the hands of the Huns, and they all stared at Xiao Hong closely, for fear that this affectionate His Royal Highness would do something irrational.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Hong was very calm.

Until the generals were summoned, only to hear Xiao Hong say: "I will go to save the dynasty tomorrow night."

At that moment, what came into the minds of the generals was not to swear to death immediately, but to sigh first: Sure enough, calmness is an illusion, this one is already crazy about love.

Then they looked at Xuan Ling who was standing aside, who was holding his arms and heheed twice coldly, expressing that he was powerless.

"Your Highness..." Gu Xingwu had just raised his head when Xiao Hong interrupted him, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind, and I must rescue him!"

Gu Xingwu reluctantly swallowed the swearing, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, the Xiongnu also know that Mr. Xiaohe is yours... Cough, my sweetheart, they will definitely take strict care of it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to save it. Now I am thinking about it." Let us retreat, thanks to the terms of the covenant, what we are thinking about now is whether to accept this matter for Master Xiaohe."

"Your Highness, your daughter's body must not be suspected, otherwise Mr. Xiao He has not been rescued, and you... how can I explain this to the emperor?"

However, once Xiao Hong, who has never been self-willed in major matters, becomes stubborn, it will really make one head and two heads.

"Gu just wanted to inform you that the whole army is on standby and ready to respond at any time. There is no need to say anything else." Xiao Hong remained unmoved, his eyes were extremely firm.

Several generals suddenly raised their heads and asked the sky speechlessly.

Still, Xuan Ling couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Where are you going to rescue?"

"Of course Xichao sent someone to tell Gu."

What Xiao Hong said as a matter of course made all the generals fall silent.

So the two have been secretly in touch for a long time?

Master Xiaohe is not under strict surveillance?

The generals were full of curiosity and doubts, but Xiao Hong glanced at them and said dissatisfied: "I understand, hurry up and prepare, and pretend to be a little bit when I go out!"

So that's the case, really worthy of Mr. Xiaohe!

The generals got out of the tent and left shaking their heads. After a while, the news that the Crown Prince Daqi was going to secretly rescue his sweetheart tomorrow night spread secretly and quietly.

As soon as the generals left, Xiao Hong looked at Xuan Ling and said, "I promised you that I would give you a chance to take revenge, and the King of the Huns will give it to you."

Xuan Ling smiled slightly: "Thank you!"

When Mueller got the news, he was almost pleasantly surprised.

"Really?" he asked.

Hu Ke nodded hesitantly: "That's what my spies reported, but He Xichao did have to go through Xuanmaye, so there shouldn't be any mistakes in this time. As for whether Prince Daqi will come or not, I don't know."

"Send someone to monitor immediately, and report as soon as there is any movement." Mu Le excitedly frustrated his fingers, "Since it is a secret rescue, there will not be many people. Even if it is not a little prince, just a general is worth it!"

Hu Ke nodded: "Yes, I'm ready, my people are all around, as long as they come, they can't escape."

Mueller patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm always at ease when you do things."

He Xichao and the others stayed in Xuanmaye tonight.

Although they were detained all the way, the sudden surge of guards tonight and the sound of horseshoes dispatched outside made them even more worried.

Xie San looked at the ferocious Huns around him, and couldn't help asking He Xichao: "Little uncle, tell me the truth, can we return to Daqi alive?"

He Xichao had heard Xie San mention it too many times, so he sighed again: "Maybe."

Xie San and several civil servants of Honglu Temple: "..." Don't, you make them panic.

Xie San thought that He Xichao was joking, after all, this man had never missed a shot, but so far he hadn't seen him make any moves, he was really about to cry.

Except for He Xichao, all of them together don't think it's worth the [-] horses plus mines, plus a fortress.

Ren Qingdao: "Don't worry adults, I will definitely give up my life to protect you."

Xie San didn't feel relieved when he heard this, like other civil servants, he was even more worried.

Although He Xichao is surrounded by masters who can fight ten against one, no matter how high the master is, how many Xiongnu soldiers can they beat even if their weapons are confiscated? Can you protect these powerless civil servants who are holding them back?

After all, Mr. Xiao He, who is weak and weak, can hold back three masters by himself.

An adult suppressed his panic and said, "I don't know if something happened tonight, why is there such a big commotion!"

As they spoke, everyone looked at He Xichao who was sitting in the tent with his chin resting on his shoulders. The latter blinked and felt that he had to say something, so he guessed, "Maybe someone will come to rescue us tonight."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately rejoiced, their eyes filled with anticipation.

He Xichao said that if someone came to save him, someone would definitely come, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come in person?

Xie San felt relieved and sighed: "No wonder the Xiongnu are facing a big enemy..."

Halfway through his speech, he seemed to suddenly realize that something was wrong. He said in a daze, "So, the Xiongnu knew that someone would come to rescue them tonight?"

"Your Highness must not come!" Several civil servants no longer cared about their own safety, and prayed.

However, in the middle of the night, their sincere prayers obviously didn't work, and His Royal Highness, who was still infatuated, finally rode his tall horse and brought a group of people to rescue his Lord Xiao He in the dark.

In the dark night, under the stars.

He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong, and Xiao Hong stared at him affectionately again, looking at Wannian.

It was as if everything around him became unimportant.

Finally, Xie San couldn't help holding his head and shouting: "You guys look around anyway, we are surrounded!"
