i am afraid

This is something that Jiang Yan did not expect. In his few impressions of the Huns, they should all be like the ones he has seen these days, with hulking backs and beards. It shouldn't be... so skinny.

Seeing two people lift the curtain and walk in, Xi A's eyes became more vigilant, but when he raised his head, he found Jiang Yan standing there. He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, and he didn't know how To describe it, there is only a vague idea in my heart, the eyes of this charming child are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in the clan.

The expression couldn't be concealed, Jiang Ling sneered, and said, "This is the brother of the Xiongnu Shanyu, probably because of his half-brother, and he is not even remotely similar to his brother."

Xi A immediately forgot about those fluctuations in his heart, and looked up at him angrily. The Huns are proud of Xiao's father. After his father died, he was naturally his elder brother. He admired his elder brother since he was a child. One can imagine.

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Can he understand us?"

Jiang Ling didn't have the consciousness of hurting a child's self-esteem. He nodded and said, "Yes, I have tricked the guards a few times, very cunning."

Jiang Yan looked at the little Xiongnu prince whose expression became more fierce, and blinked his eyes with a headache. This was not an attitude of peace talks at all. He was a little curious about what Uncle Six was here for.

Jiang Ling didn't know what Jiang Yan was thinking. He looked at Xi A and said, "Your brother offered to exchange you with five years of border peace, but I refused."

Xi A was shocked at first, he didn't expect his elder brother to pay so much for him, and then his face turned pale, he is not a fool, he refused to agree to such a generous condition, it only shows that these people want more, and they came to see him for the purpose of never giving up. He got more.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ling wanted to kick him. In fact, he kicked him. He just lifted his foot. Xi A was not injured, but he was so unstable that he almost fell.

"What more do you want! Wo will not be ashamed to agree!" Xia said loudly.

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows: "Do you think the peace talks are taking advantage of us? The people of my Daxian should be plundered by you, and the land of my Daxian should be trampled by you?"

Xi A was taken aback, a little puzzled, isn't this obvious?The weak will be beaten, and the strong can control everything. The Xiongnu's cavalry is strong, so they can naturally get the most things.

Knowing that he couldn't make sense with the barbarians, Jiang Ling went straight to the business: "Peace talks are impossible. I just want to return my general. I advise you to stop playing tricks. My patience is limited."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand, and a flash of cold light flew by. A small braid with spikes on the side of Xi A's head was cut off and fell into Jiang Ling's hands. He held the thin braid Braid, sneered.

Xia touched her head, the anger in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Jiang Ling ignored him and took Jiang Yan out. He came in person, just to take something from Xi A, so as to threaten the Xiongnu Shanyu.

He believed that the safety of his younger brother was always more important than an ordinary enemy. If Pei Yue really did not die, the Xiongnu Shanyu would definitely replace him with him.

Jiang Ling found a beautiful box, put the braids in it, called his confidant subordinates, and ordered him to take the box to the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Jiang Yan said strangely at the side: "Uncle Liu, he is in our hands, why bother to give this braid?"

"We also have to prove that he is in our hands?" Jiang Ling said with a smile: "If that Hun is just a smart person, at least he will prove that Pei Yue is in his hands. If there is no proof, it can only mean... ..."

His eyes turned slightly cold, "Then don't blame me, use his brother's head to sacrifice the flag."

Jiang Yan didn't know much about these twists and turns on the battlefield. He could only say that he understood what it meant. He shook his head and said, "What do these Huns think? Going further north, those small countries are vulnerable. If you don't go to conquer, you will show your strength, but you will commit crimes every year."

However, Jiang Ling knew that the Huns admired brute force and had low vision. For generations, they only saw the prosperity of Daxian, so they committed crimes every year. They had no idea of ​​conquering small countries and slowly operating them.

He didn't say much, but just mentioned a few words to Jiang Yan lightly. He had already discovered the difference between Jiang Yan and when he left, and naturally he would no longer treat him as an ignorant child.

Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly.

Not long after Jiang Ling's braid was sent, he received a reply. Xiongnu Shanyu said that he was really not in his hands, but was rescued by a very brave General Daxian on the way. Don't embarrass them along the way, let them go.

Sincerely speaking, this is indeed the truth, Jiang Ling pondered for a moment, and promised the Huns envoy that when Pei Yue returned safely, he would immediately let the little prince go.

To be honest, after learning about the touching brain circuit of the Xiongnu Shanyu, the little prince remained in their hands, and it seemed that he only had the role of offering a flag. Peace talks were impossible. There is no benefit in exchange. Having this person is the same as not having this person.

Almost when the Huns envoy mentioned the "very brave general" with trepidation, everyone thought of Zhou Zhiqing. He was not in the barracks that day, but was sent out, and he never came back when the war broke out. , but no one worried about him, even his most loyal subordinates, because no one believed that something would happen to him, and everyone believed that even if he entered the camp of the Huns, it would be easy for him to come back.

Let go of the heart, the important thing is the next plan. According to Jiang Yan's thinking, he wanted to continue fighting, but this was a missed opportunity. The army retreated to Feimo Pass, and it was very difficult to win back. Jiang Ling thought differently from him.

Fighting must be fought, how to fight is the problem, and losing the opportunity is not necessarily a lost opportunity. If you can catch the Huns by surprise, the battle can be easily reversed.

Xiongnu Shanyu was very honest about his younger brother. He was right. Within three days, Zhou Zhiqing returned to the camp with his troops and Pei Yue.

Pei Yue didn't suffer too much damage, he was also a brave general, and he fell off the horse only because he lost his strength. Zhou Zhiqing came in time, and after two days of raising him, he can still mount a horse with a sword, majestic.

Jiang Ling kept his promise this time, and asked the Huns' envoys to take him away the next day, but the little Hun prince stood blankly in front of the horse, turning his head from time to time, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"Prince, what's the matter?" the messenger asked strangely,

Xia said disappointedly: "He let me go, why didn't he come to see me off?"

In his opinion, that vicious commander-in-chief will definitely not let him go so easily, even if his brother offers such a good condition, the only explanation is that the person who came to see him that day was the oldest man in the clan. A good-looking girl is even better than a good-looking boy. He seems to have a high status and a good heart. He must have let him go.

The envoy didn't hear clearly and said, "What?"

Xi A sighed deeply: "No, it's nothing, let's go." He remembered this love, and he will definitely repay it in the future.

It is easy to ignore the thoughts of young people. He never imagined that since then, a shadow has lived in his heart, which makes him still unable to let go of it ten or twenty years later.

Jiang Yan didn't think about how to face Pei Yue. He didn't know what happened back then, and how much Pei Yue knew, but even if he didn't know at all, he still had a heart for him. He couldn't do anything about what the Pei family did. Forgive me, even if Zhen Guohou surrendered his military power.

Pei Yue actually didn't think about how to face Jiang Yan. He originally thought that Jiang Yan and him were not related by blood. He had a good appearance, a good personality, and a delicate and gentle mind. It's only natural to have some feelings, but at this moment, someone woke him up severely. Even if he wasn't his younger brother, he was still his nephew.

In the situation where both of them wanted to escape, until Pei Yue recovered from his injury, they actually only met once.

There wasn't so much time to worry about these things. After the little Xiongnu prince was sent back, not only did the war not ease, but it was on the verge of breaking out.

Jiang Yan, as the emperor who was personally conquered by the emperor, naturally had to lead by example, not to mention beheading people on the battlefield, but at least he had to attend the meeting. Jiang Yan kept a serious expression after discussing with his subordinates for a long time After sitting for a long time, when he returned to his tent, he didn't want to move a finger anymore.

A pair of warm hands pressed his temples. The movements of these hands were extremely gentle and soothing, so skillful that Jiang Yan could hardly help but want to hum.

"You are the emperor, not the coach, why bother to make yourself so tired..." Jiang Xuanying sighed softly, and touched Jiang Yan's forehead. The young boy had faint vertical lines between his brows. He didn't remember that Jiang Yan frowned.

Jiang Yan rubbed his hand flatteringly, but his eyes did not move. He was too sleepy to open his eyes, and he said as if raving: "I'm not tired..."

Jiang Xuanying sighed, put him on the bed, undressed him lightly, put on light single clothes, and covered him with a quilt.
