Chapter 419

Moreover, for such a major matter, Xiao He would definitely have confirmed it repeatedly.

He believed Xiao He would not use such a major matter to fool him.

But the problem was, where did the Xiongnu go?

Wang Li and the others all put down the immortal artifact telescopes in their hands.

They all looked at Xiao He speechlessly.

It seemed this was going to be a huge false alarm.

Seeing the expressions on Wang Li and the others,

Xiao He immediately gave a bitter smile.

"Old Wang, Old Han, do you not believe me?"

"You know my character; I never lie!"

Xiao He felt bitter; if even these two old friends didn't believe him,

then he would truly have no face to see anyone.

This false alarm had become a bit too big.

But he still firmly believed he hadn't seen wrong.

The Xiongnu had truly come.

"Your Highness, every word Xiao He says is true."

"Will you... believe me?"

Xiao He's smile was bitter.

Now that they had arrived here and didn't see any Xiongnu,

even he didn't believe his own words.

Why force others to believe him?

Xiao He felt disheartened; what a huge false alarm this was.

But Ying Ying Zi Ye's response was beyond his expectations.

"I believe you."

Only three words.

Powerful and concise.

But these short three words

flowed through Xiao He's heart like a warm current.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao He choked up, unable to speak.

It was rare that His Highness was still willing to believe him.

Whether he truly believed him or was just humoring him,

these words were enough to warm one's heart.

"Don't be disheartened, look carefully."

"The Xiongnu might just be hiding somewhere."

Ying Ying Zi Ye gave Xiao He an encouraging look.

These words greatly boosted Xiao He's confidence.

That his master could trust him unconditionally was the greatest affirmation for him.

Xiao He did not say anything more.

He just nodded heavily.

And continued to pick up the immortal artifact telescope to check.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent.

After looking back and forth no less than ten times,

Xiao He felt a bit desperate.

Because he truly hadn't found a shadow of the Xiongnu.

Xiao He put down the immortal artifact, feeling a bit dazed.

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit stifling, Han Xin couldn't help but speak up to ease it.

"Old Xiao, don't be discouraged, we all believe you."

"Maybe... maybe the Xiongnu are just quite cunning and are sneaking in from elsewhere."

"Didn't General Meng Tian say that the Xiongnu are extremely cruel and cunning?"

"Maybe they are brewing some big move, we cannot easily lower our guard."

Wang Li also took up the conversation.

"What Old Han said is not without reason."

"It's just that we can't find them for the moment."

"But they should still be here."

"If we keep looking, we might find them."

Xiao He did not speak, his brows deeply furrowed.

Han Xin and the other looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Comforting people was really not their strong suit.

Meng Yi also stepped forward to say a few words,

but Xiao He only shook his head with a bitter smile.

Meng Tian did not speak.

He had not put down the immortal artifact telescope he was holding.

He understood the Xiongnu the best.

These wolf-hearted dogs,

every time they came to plunder the people of Great Qin, they did so silently.

They were the type to suddenly pop out.

They had long been hiding somewhere.

Every time, they launched a surprise attack.

The vast grassland was not endless; occasionally there were small mounds or ridges.

These could perfectly block the line of sight.

Before, without the immortal artifact, there was no way.

Now with the assistance of the immortal artifact, the situation was completely different.

If the Xiongnu knew about the activity at the Great Wall, they would likely come to scout.

After all, the commotion yesterday was so great.

It was not impossible for the Xiongnu to know.

They might have come here to scout the situation and plunder the people of Great Qin along the way.

Meng Tian did not give up the search, still holding the telescope to check.

He had an intuition that the Xiongnu had come.

They were just hiding.

Everyone else had given up the search, only he remained.

"General Meng Tian, perhaps your subordinate saw wrong."

"Maybe the Xiongnu didn't come, no need to look anymore."

Seeing that only Meng Tian was still holding the immortal artifact telescope and looking non-stop,

Xiao He couldn't help but speak up to tell him to stop searching.

Continuing any further had no meaning.

"Finally found you."

"A bunch of disgusting rats that only know how to hide."

Meng Tian put down the telescope.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
