The three men rode side by side, and Qiqi Gehas also caught up with them and advised, "Batuhesa will not agree."

Shi San:?

Shi Sanmu frowned and said nothing.

Meng En asked: "Love is precious, but we can't just ignore the people of Xihu. How can they live if a war breaks out? War means death. How can we live well and suddenly have to sacrifice our lives for a person from Beiqin who is not even related to us?"

Qiqi Gehas said: "Who is she? Whose family is she from? Is it good to be her as a guard? Does she have meat to eat every day?"

Meng En stopped him with a look: "Hey, why are you poking at someone's sore spot?"

Shi San: ...

Shi Sanyi squeezed the horse's belly and rushed out in the direction he came from.

"Look, look, you're thinking about sad things. Why...you're talking about something else?" Meng En used a Northern Qin colloquialism to show off his vocabulary.

Qiqi Gehas didn't bother to pay attention to him and hurriedly chased after Shi San: "Hey! Avagu!"

The three of them distanced themselves from each other and headed towards the king's tent.

Soon, the top with golden patterns reappeared in the field of vision. Shi San quickened his horse and soon arrived in front of the large Xihu settlement.

The guard at the door stopped him and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi San's appearance was not completely that of a Western Hu person, so the guards were very wary.

Qiqi Gehas caught up with them, followed closely by Meng En. When the guard saw the two, he immediately bowed and shouted, "Meet Maqin!"

Maqin is the name of the warrior leader.

"This is Awagu, we want to see the king." Qiqige said. The guards were confused, but Qiqige was a blood relative of the royal family, the daughter of the tribal leader, and Mengen was the king's second grandson, so they naturally would not stop him.

A group of three entered the settlement and walked towards the king's tent.

When they arrived at the gate, the guards were not so strict. Although the person at the gate did not know Shi San, he saw Qi Qige and Meng En following behind him, so he said nothing.

Batuhesa, the biological father of King Xihu and Concubine Ning of Beiqin, was looking at a sheepskin map in the tent. Next to him was his brother Yidebuhe, the leader of the largest tribe and the leader of some of the military power of Xihu.

Batuhesa was in his sixties and not as healthy as before. He no longer had the aura of a king and looked more like a kind old man. Yidebuhe was also almost sixty, but still strong, with a broad back and strong waist. His neatly combed hair had only a few white strands and his eyes were sharp and steady.

When King Xihu saw Shi San, he was stunned.

"Avagu?" he called out uncertainly.

Shi San knelt on one knee and saluted: "Grandfather."

The King of Xihu was delighted. He quickly walked over the sand table in the tent, walked to Shi San and helped him up.

"Why are you back?" King Xihu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "Did you have a good time in Beiqin? Did you go to see your aunt? How is she?"

Shi San's expression did not change, and he was still taciturn: "Concubine Ning is in the palace, I can't get in."

Batuhesa suddenly realized and said, "Oh," and then said, "I've had enough fun. Are you going home?"

Qiqigehas and Meng'en at the back were sweating and making faces anxiously, but King Xihu paid no attention at all.

"Borrow some things and leave." Shi San said.

"What is it?" asked King Xihu.

Yidebuhe, who was behind him, also stepped forward. He was considered Shi San's great uncle, and he also reached out and patted Shi San on the shoulder.

"Team Falcon Day, and the king's souvenir." Shi San said.

The King of Xihu choked.

The hand letter is something like a jade seal. Although it does not have the function of issuing orders, everything the person holding the hand letter does can be regarded as the intention of the King of Xihu.

After hearing this, Qiqigehas and Meng'en were also confused for a moment.

What is Avagu going to do?

Yidebuhe had been listening from behind, and seeing his brother looking at a loss again, he asked, "What do you want these for?"

"Falcon Day Team, I only want the brothers in the front." Shi San said, "The letter is only for proof, it will not harm Xihu."

Yidebuhe stared at him for a long while, then turned to Qiqige and the other two and said, "You two get out."

Qiqige and Meng'en were confused and obediently left the king's tent.

"Sit down." Yidebuhe said.

He first asked his brother to sit on the animal skin mat beside the low table, and then he and Shi San sat on the other two sides.

"What did you encounter in Beiqin?" Yidebuhe's cold eyes seemed to see through everything.

Shi San briefly recounted how he was bought by Gu Yue at the pawnshop, and later followed him into the political infighting in Northern Qin, and ultimately failed to protect his master, leading to Gu Yue's death.

After hearing this, Yidebuhe remained silent for a long time.

King Xihu picked up the milk tea pot beside him and poured a bowl for his younger brother and grandson.

"Tell me about the current situation in Northern Qin again," Yidebuhe said. He had no interest in Shi San's benevolent and righteous decisions, but only cared about the political changes in Northern Qin.

Their spies in Northern Qin also reported back that the Emperor of Northern Qin was ill and the Crown Prince was temporarily in charge of government affairs, but they never thought that this was someone's doing. If this is the case...

A brief description of Shi San.

Yidebuhe found it difficult to listen. This guy was really concise and would say as few words as possible.

The king's tent became quiet for a moment.

King Xihu had droopy eyelids and slowly enjoyed his milk tea. He didn't seem to care much about the affairs of Bei Qin.

Yidebuhe thought for a while and turned to Batuhesa: "Brother, what do you think?"

"Hmm?" King Xihu responded: "Awagu is a man of integrity and loyalty. He is a real man."

"...I mean, the current situation in Northern Qin is an opportunity for us." Yidebuhe frowned. "All forces are rising up, and it is a time of civil unrest. Even if we, the Western Hu, cannot capture the city, we can still gain some benefits from it."

Batuhesa showed a hesitant look: "This is not good, my daughter is still in the Northern Qin Palace."

Yidebuhe said: "What does it have to do with her? As an ally of Northern Qin, we naturally help the royal family."

"What if the royal family loses in the end?" Batukhesa was worried, "Will the new king let the concubines go?"

Yidebuhe wanted to say that in the face of the interests of the entire Xihu, personal life and death are nothing, but when he thought of Avagu's dead parents, he couldn't say it.

There was silence in the king's tent for a moment.

Shi San held out his hand: "Souvenirs, Falcon Day Team."

"What are you going to do?" Yidebuhe said, "If you want to bring people to their deaths, I won't agree."

"It's a good idea." Shi San said, "There will be no loss. They are all my brothers."

"Tell me about it." Yidebuhe said, "You want to avenge your master, and your uncle supports you, but this is also an opportunity for Xihu. You must share the news before I can give you the things."

Shi San glanced at King Xihu.

Although Batuchasa looked panicked and acted like a moderate advocate of peace, he did not exercise his power as a king in this matter. He directly gave him the souvenir and the Falcon Team token.

This old fox obviously also wanted to hear whether this matter was really profitable.

Closing his eyes, Shi San revealed his plan.
