Chapter 1253

"Wait, let's see what he wants to do first."

General Meng Tian stopped them from killing this Xiongnu cavalryman directly.

He wanted to see what plans the Xiongnu had.

They had come to find trouble for Great Qin one after another.

Did they really think his few men were very powerful?

Before the reinforcements arrived, General Meng Tian had wanted to strike out to dampen the Xiongnu's spirit.

Now that the reinforcements had arrived, what did he have to fear?

Soon, the Xiongnu cavalryman arrived beneath the Great Wall.

"Who is in charge here?"

"Our Touman Chanyu has something to say, do not fire arrows!"

As soon as the Xiongnu cavalryman arrived, he shouted not to fire arrows.

The people on the Great Wall were somewhat surprised.

What was surprising was that this Xiongnu was actually speaking their Great Qin language.

Although the pronunciation wasn't very accurate, it could still be understood.

"This Xiongnu cavalryman learns fast; he's even learned our Great Qin language."

"What's so special about that? We in Great Qin also have people who have learned the Xiongnu language; there's nothing to be proud of."

"But I am curious about what their Touman Chanyu has to say."

The soldiers looked down from above at the Xiongnu cavalryman.

"What does your Touman Chanyu have to say?"

"Speak quickly, and get lost as soon as you're done!"

"Otherwise, we won't be able to resist killing you directly!"

Commandant Qian shouted down at the Great Wall.

The Xiongnu cavalryman saw many soldiers on the Great Wall aiming their bows and arrows at him.

This made him tremble with fear.

He had taken this mission, and his life could be forfeit at any moment; it was simply too dangerous.

But he had to come; this was the Touman Chanyu's order.

However, when he heard someone above asking a question, he felt a bit more at ease.

At least they wouldn't shoot him dead at the slightest disagreement.

As long as he spoke politely, he figured the Qin people wouldn't shoot him.

"First of all, I am just a messenger."

"Everything I say next is what the Touman Chanyu said; you cannot take your anger out on me!"

The Xiongnu cavalryman first took a precaution.

He distanced himself from the matter; he was just a messenger.

His crime was not worth death!

The Xiongnu cavalryman's non-standard Great Qin language made the Great Qin soldiers want to laugh.

He had distanced himself before he even started; he really was just a messenger.

With their magnanimity, they wouldn't kill an envoy.

It was only because the previous Xiongnu envoy had been rude and abusive that they had killed him.

"Our Touman Chanyu said, if you don't dare to engage in battle, then release our people."

"You've captured so many prisoners before, it's time to release them back."

"You release the people, and we will retreat and leave the Great Wall."

"From now on, we will mind our own business."

"Whether you agree or not, give me an answer."

"I am just a messenger, so I can go back and report."

After the Xiongnu cavalryman finished speaking, he didn't forget to emphasize again that he was just a messenger.

The meaning was very clear: don't kill me; if you kill me, there will be no one to deliver messages for you.
