The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"Your Highness—Actually, I am not wronged..."

Mu Qiu smiled and shook his head, and replied warmly.Song Zichen didn't argue with him, and nodded solemnly, "Yes, you are not wronged, but I am wronged by looking at you - our next goal is to make me feel not wronged even when I look at you, what do you think?" ?”

Mu Qiu didn't expect that His Royal Highness has become so thick-skinned now, so he couldn't help laughing out loud, rubbed his forehead helplessly, and then turned the topic to the two brothers who were relatively silent: "Your Highness, we Let’s wait until we get home, let’s listen to what else they have to say..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Song Zichen was warmed by his casual "I'll talk about it when I go home", and nodded happily.Mu Qiu looked at his non-gloomy expression, but there seemed to be mixed feelings in his heart. He felt gratified and moved, but he couldn't help being entangled and struggling. No matter what, he couldn't solve the dead knot in his heart.

He has never been willing to betray his Highness—but there are some things that he really cannot allow him to say so hastily...

"Mu Qiu, don't think so much, the two of us still have a long life, what can't we say slowly?"

I don't know if he has seen through his entanglement, Song Zichen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and hugged him into his arms like an ordinary brother: "Let's first listen to what this pair of troubled brothers can tell us. If it works well, maybe it can give that guy Song Zichen a heavy blow when he returns to court."

Mu Qiu couldn't help but turn a little bloody, but he didn't push him away.Song Zichen's face was bright and unconcerned, but secretly he couldn't help a burst of joy - after all, Mu Qiu's temperament was stable and upright, and it was rare for him to let him hug his waist and shoulders so intimately.This time, taking advantage of Mu Qiu not knowing what was on his mind, he succeeded in bringing the distance between the two of them a lot closer. As for what Mu Qiu was hiding from him, it didn't seem to be that important anymore. .

Mu Qiu naturally didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, but he just let him hold her and forcefully turned his mind back to the conversation between the two.

Probably to make the two understandable, Guan Tiantai never switched back to the Xiongnu dialect, but deliberately led the leader to communicate in the language of the Han people.The leader spoke Chinese well. Although he looked reluctant, he felt a little guilty because of his brother's suffering, and he didn't dare to talk back to him. He just asked questions and answered them honestly. Speaking of which, he has always been in secret contact with the third prince of the Han people.

"So—that Mu Feng is not with you all the time, but only comes here occasionally?"

After listening to his description, Guan Tiantai had roughly grasped the situation. After thinking for a while, he frowned again and said: "But now the battle is at a critical moment, and both sides are on the verge of breaking out. Without his help, you It is destined to be impossible to defeat the Han army. Why is he not here to teach you how to deal with it when it is so critical?"

"Originally he was there, but about a month ago, he suddenly went back."

Hearing his elder brother say so firmly that he would never be able to beat the Han people, a little displeasure flashed across the leader's face, he pursed his lips and said again: "Besides, what we talked about at the beginning was to ask me to deliberately If I lose to them, they will compensate me when their prince succeeds to the throne—sooner or later those places will belong to us Huns, why do I have to win this battle?"

"Nonsense, if you didn't want to win, then—"

Song Zichen couldn't help but interjected when he heard it, and was about to say that if he didn't want to win, he wouldn't have fought so hard back then, but he remembered that this was clearly a matter of his previous life.Quickly swallowed this sentence back forcefully, choked for a moment, and then said: "Why did you ask your elder brother to come and assassinate me? Could it be that you were angry because you saw your elder brother alive, and deliberately asked him to come to kill me?" ?"

"No - I didn't expect that big brother would fall into your trap!"

The leader gritted his teeth and retorted in a cold voice, but suddenly realized that he had accidentally called out "Brother", he quickly closed his mouth and did not speak again, and there was a look of remorse and anger in his eyes.Guan Tiantai looked at him helplessly, sighed softly, shook his head and said slowly: "Do you know——I almost had a mistake, thinking that now you are no longer the Ulangmu you were at the beginning, and you want to settle it with your own hands. You, take back that Khan position..."

"It's right for you to take revenge on me. I caused you to be arrested by the Han people and humiliated and tortured by them. I don't have any brotherhood in doing this. Whether it's the Han people or the Huns, I'm not as good as a dog like me. deserves to be punished."

The leader replied in a muffled voice, turned around and walked towards his horse, untied a scimitar from it, knelt down on one knee and held it to him with both hands, but still refused to raise his head: "Use it to tattoo on my face Well, I'll remember the wrong things I did, and always will."

"Idiot - I'm not angry with you because of this incident. What I couldn't figure out at the beginning was why my younger brother, who I tried my best to protect, turned around and wanted my life."

Guan Tiantai shook his head, gave a very light wry smile, and said after a long while: "Don't get involved with those Han people, they are all ruthless people with ruthless methods and deep scheming. You can deal with it. If you join hands with them, the only consequence is that you will have nothing left, and you will regret it in the end..."

"It's not nice to say what you said - why are we Han people so cruel-minded?"

Song Zichen interjected unwillingly, and stuffed the profuse seal back into his arms on the spot, raised his jaw and said, "Look at your stingy look, was it I who insisted on asking for this thing? Isn't that right? You said that your brother is both heartless and unscrupulous, we are really afraid of the two of you betraying us, so we made such a request - just return it to you now, really think how rare we are for this thing?"

"Do you know how much effort it took me to sneak into the big tent and steal it out-you dare to say no?"

Guan Tiantai's eyes widened in disbelief, and he refused to let go, and threw the seal back to him: "This thing is not so easy to handle. Now if you feel hot, just throw it to me. How can it be so cheap?" Buying and selling? The Khan is dying of a serious illness, and all ethnic groups are about to move. There are countless people staring at this thing. You just wait to deal with endless assassinations..."

"Brother, how can you give our seal to the Han people?"

The leader saw that neither of them wanted the seal of the supremacy of the tribes of the Xiongnu, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in amazement, and grabbed his clothes: "This is our most important thing, if they take it away If we leave, we will never be able to unite again!"

"It depends on your own strength to unite the various tribes, not an illusory Hetian jade stone."

Guan Tiantai set his gaze on the seal, paused for a moment, then sighed with a chuckle, shook his head and said: "You may not know that this seal was given to the Xiongnu by your previous emperor. Khan, at that time your Central Plains was still a big country with all nations coming to court, and you were not coveted by the surrounding forces like you are now. It is a supreme honor for us to be canonized by the Great Emperor of the Central Plains..."

"If you miss that time very much, I can also work hard to see if I can find a way to restore our Daqi to its former glory."

Song Zichen folded his arms and tilted his head, and replied solemnly.Guan Tiantai was choked by him for a while, so he glanced at him angrily, coughed and said: "I just want to tell my brother that you don't need this kind of thing. Since it belongs to you Han people, just return it to you. We The Xiongnu have the ability to complete the unification by their own strength."

"Dreaming, I will never let you complete the reunification, just like I will not let the streams around us converge into rivers capable of breaking the dams."

A cold light flashed across Song Zichen's eyes, and he smiled and replied slowly, but his tone seemed to be full of war: "We can live in peace, but the premise of peace is that you have not actually provoked us. strength—just like this time, once you think you have such strength, you can’t help but provoke us. If you meet a leader with a brain like your brother, what else will you want to take away? There are several cities along the border. No dynasty will always have successive kings, and the Central Plains will not always be monolithic. You are a nation on horseback, and the urge to fight is flowing in your blood. Once our strength weakens, you I will definitely sneak in, it's not you or me, so one or two people can decide and control things."

"I actually thought you were a fool..."

Guan Tiantai looked at him incredulously, shook his head lightly, and murmured with lingering fear.Song Zichen just smiled, shook his head and sighed softly: "Guan Tiantai, I am also a prince after all. No prince is a real idiot. You have to know that we all grew up learning something from childhood - but I am really not a prince. What a smart person, I can think clearly about these things, but I still can't see through some things. I tried my best to protect my family's foundation for thousands of years, but in the end I couldn't even protect the people around me..."

"I will remember what you said, but I am a Hun after all..."

Guan Tiantai shook his head, but suddenly chuckled, and sighed helplessly: "Why am I telling you this, as if we really have the ability to integrate the Huns tribe - that is too far away, after all, I am already I don't have the intention to compete for the Khan throne, but the covenant between you and me is still valid. I will assist my brother and help you take your throne. We are just mortals, and we can't care about things after so many years. As long as you want , the covenant between you and me has been concluded—what do you think?"

Song Zichen looked into his eyes, was silent for a moment before finally chuckling, nodded, raised his hand and gave him a solid high-five: "Deal."
