Although the prince of the Huns was captured before the war started, the battle still had to be fought.The army only stayed outside the valley for a day and then continued on the road. This time there were no people in the carriage, but there was an extra concealed prison carriage, which made Meng Daxian, who could never escape the fate of man-marking, very resentful.However, in the entire army, only the rear army was not conspicuous, and he could only swallow his humiliation under the joint pressure of Song Zichen and Peng Feigui, and drove the prison car on the road without complaint.

"Your Highness, I always feel that this is not the solution—since we said we want to form an alliance with him, we should at least show some sincerity in forming an alliance. It's not easy to let him squat in the prison car all the time."

I don't know if it was due to the effect of the hot spring, but Mu Qiu's body seems to have recovered. In the past few days, he has been able to ride a horse and march with Song Zichen. You have to take Mu Qiu to soak in it a few more times.Under the guidance of everyone discussing the war in the past few days, although Mu Qiu still insists on refusing to join the army, he often helps out with one or two ideas. , actually helped a lot.

"That's true—but that Guan Tiantai never lets go, eats when he's given, sleeps after he's done, and doesn't answer a word when asked."

Song Zichen sighed in distress, only to feel that this time he caught a hot potato, it was uncomfortable to hold it in his hand, and he was reluctant to throw it out, but he was really entangled for a while.Looking at his helpless expression, Mu Qiu couldn't help smiling, and said slowly and meaningfully: "That's because His Highness hasn't found the right way—he grew up in the Central Plains as a proton, and he is proud and arrogant." Self-proclaimed, we are all foreigners in his eyes, but his compatriots are also a bunch of stupid scumbags in his eyes. To deal with such people, His Highness cannot negotiate with him as a military, but You should take the position of being a prince..."

"I see—what I should talk to him about is not forming an alliance, but seizing the throne!"

Song Zichen's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what he had done wrong these few days, and he felt that his thoughts became clearer in an instant: "Our positions are actually similar, so we shouldn't be enemies in the first place. As long as I can This makes sense to him, I'm not afraid that he won't feel tempted - if someone comes to fool me like this, I will feel tempted..."

Mu Qiu couldn't help chuckling, shook his head helplessly, but said patiently: "Your Highness, don't treat him as a prisoner, it's just a transaction between the princes of the two countries, and each takes what he needs. To him He said that he actually has nothing to use as a bargaining chip, but His Highness has some, so as long as His Highness softens his attitude a little, he will not be willing to die in our hands like this, and sooner or later he will be moved. "

"Okay, I'll try it right now—if it really works, it should be a big help."

Song Zichen nodded enthusiastically, told Mu Qiu to go with the team and wait for him, and then rushed towards the rear army.As soon as Meng Daxian saw his figure, he greeted him as if he was amnesty: "My lord, you have come! Are you going to let that ancestor go? If you don't let him go, you can cut it down, but don't let him go." Let me serve him again..."

"Stop calling me here, drive your ox cart."

Song Zichen cursed with a smile, kicked him away mercilessly, and walked quickly to the side of the prison car.Sure enough, Meng Daxian took good care of that man. He cleaned up the inside and outside of the prison car, because the wind was blowing all around him. He even thoughtfully put two layers of thick cotton clothes on him, wrapping up a generation of tyrannical men like a man. Like a bear.Song Zichen stood still outside the prison car, and couldn't help but have a weird smile in his eyes. Guan Tiantai glanced at him angrily, but he didn't bother to pretend to be a foreigner who didn't know the Central Plains dialect, and leaned lazily on the Looking at him from the side of the prison car, he said, "What are you doing here again? I won't agree to your conditions. After all, I'm also a Hun, and I can't be your domesticated dog—"

"I didn't let you be a dog, but you still treated me as your wolf. Let's work together once. Let's see what you want."

Song Zichen waved his hand and answered casually, and sat down on the side of the prison car calmly.Guan Tiantai looked at him in surprise for a while, then frowned and said: "It's not a good word to be a traitor. I know your Central Plains culture very well. Don't just try to lure me into it."

"I didn't plan to say anything good to you, because I didn't want to do anything good with you."

Song Zichen chuckled nonchalantly, and untied a flagon from his waist and threw it to him: "Mu Qiu told me that what we should talk to you about is not how to form an alliance, but how we two can win the seats we each want. I I think it makes sense, so I want to discuss with you—if I help you win the position of Khan, you help me win the seat I want, what do you think?"

"You want to fight with your brother?"

Guan Tiantai looked at him thoughtfully, with doubts flashing in his eyes: "As far as I know, you should be brothers of the same mother. Why did you fight each other to such an extent?"

"I once regarded him as a brother, but he never regarded me as a brother. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not heart, can you trust a brother who is the same mother as you?"

Song Zichen snorted lightly, and responded casually, only to find that Guan Tiantai's eyes also flashed a savage look.I couldn't help but move slightly in my heart, but my face was still calm, and I smiled lightly as if nothing had happened: "You know, I have regarded him as my closest person since I was a child, and I have done everything he asked me to do. I have never had a friend of my own, and I have never had any power of my own. And now that I am disobedient, and if I don’t do what he says, he will kill me—just because I am disobedient, he will I want my life. I don't want to give my life to him, so I thought I might as well grab that seat with him, even if I die, I won't be a dead ghost who just died in a daze."

"You have friends. That man named Mu Qiu is more loyal to you than anyone else. Even the most loyal warrior on our grassland would not consider that far for his master."

Guan Tiantai stared into his eyes, and said in a low voice: "With such a person by your side, why do you still say you have no friends?"

"Because he is the one I want to love with my life."

Song Zichen answered calmly, met Guan Tiantai's almost shocked gaze, smiled lightly and shook his head, "He's not my friend—he's my lover. Mu Qiu is the only one by my side, but Song Song Zixuan But even Mu Qiu wanted to take it away from me... so I went to take away what he most desires, which is considered a courtesy—Guan Tiantai, do you have anyone you want to protect?"

"I don't have anyone worthy of my protection, but there is one who makes me want to take revenge."

Guan Tiantai turned his head away, and said in a low voice, "We are twins. Among the Huns, twins are the most auspicious symbol, symbolizing the gift from our god, and also symbolizing the hope for the prosperity of the tribe. But that At that time, your emperor asked our tribe to send a hostage to the past—I didn’t want him to guard a share of the suffering of others, so I came here on his behalf. I have lived in your Central Plains for more than ten years, and I have suffered a lot from my hometown. Hurt, finally took advantage of the chaos in your country and fled back to Fanbang, but he actually thought... I was going back to compete with him for that seat."

"Did you not want to fight?"

Song Zichen couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly, and actually became a little interested: "I thought you should be a very ambitious person..."

"I am ambitious, but no matter how ambitious I am, I will never fight for anything with my own brother. Because I was educated in the Central Plains, I only know brothers and sisters respectful since I was a child, and I only know that blood is thicker than blood." Shui, I have forgotten that we were originally wolves, and there is no family relationship between wolves."

Guan Tiantai laughed hoarsely, shook his head and sighed softly: "How ridiculous, your elder brother is obviously from the Central Plains, but he would kill you like this. I am a Hun, but I still have these unrealistic things. His kindness and weakness made me forced to come here by my own brother to do this shameful act of assassination..."

"You were forced by him?"

Song Zichen couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and nodded solemnly: "It seems that what you said is right, you are indeed very weak——Song Zixuan has indeed been harming me, but that's because I don't know. Now that I have awakened , then you will never have any brotherhood with him, the big deal is to meet with swords and soldiers. But you are different, you know everything, and you are forced to come here by him, so that you become one of my subordinates. Prisoner, you may lose your life at some point. If you say I am stupid, then you are really worthless..."

"you--"

A flash of anger flashed in Guan Tiantai's eyes, meeting the man's indifferent look, he was stunned for a while, but suddenly lost his breath, shook his head and smiled wryly: "You scolded well, and you scolded for a reason. This is where we are today...Okay, then I will cooperate with you too. But I have one condition, our cooperation will only take effect if you agree. "

"You are in my hands now, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

Song Zichen replied in a low voice, looking at the annoyance in the man's eyes, he smiled unhurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"I want to go back to Fanbang once and ask my brother about it. But if I go back alone, I'm afraid it may not be successful."

Guan Tiantai looked into his eyes, and said in an unhurried voice: "I want Mu Qiu to accompany me back. If you agree, then we will form an alliance—how about it?"
