Chapter 585: Brothers meet, undercurrents surge

~5 min read 908 words

Maoshi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

He still smiled apologetically at Modu: "I'm going to see my father, let's get together when we have time."

Maoshi lifted his leg and left, not wanting to pay attention to Modu behind him at all.

Modu looked at the departing Maoshi, a trace of gloom appearing on his face.

Afterward, he bloomed with a smile again, waved to the people around him, and left the place with a smile.

After leaving here.

Modu's face immediately sank.

"Check for me immediately!"

"See what communication Touman and Maoshi have."

"Ask the scarred man what happened."

"He shouldn't have come back!"

Modu's face was livid, and the smile from just now had disappeared.

He had swapped a batch of problematic horses, just thinking that Maoshi would not come back.

But now Maoshi had returned safely.

Did Great Qin not discover the existence of the problematic horses?

How could Maoshi's luck be so good?

The group of people following behind were silent.

They all knew Modu's irritable temper.

You can't talk back when he's furious.

Therefore, they didn't dare to talk back and went to do things directly.

In a huge tent.

Maoshi had just entered when he bowed to the person sitting in the middle.

"Father, your child has returned."

"I have lost face for you, please punish me, Father!"

Maoshi knelt directly on the ground.

Sitting in the middle seat was a majestic old man.

This person was the leader of the Xiongnu alliance tribe.

Touman Chanyu!

Touman stood up directly after seeing Maoshi.

"Get up quickly."

"My son, who broke your arm?"

Touman was fond of this youngest son.

So he helped him up directly.

He also looked at his empty sleeve with heartache.

His palm also gently touched the broken arm.

This youngest son had been born with divine strength since he was a child.

Now that he had lost an arm, he didn't know what his strength would be like?

Touman became worried.

The reason he favored Maoshi was because Maoshi was born with divine strength.

He was the most suitable to inherit the position of Chanyu.

The Xiongnu worshiped warriors, and only warriors could sit in the position of Chanyu.

Therefore, Touman wanted to abolish the Crown Prince and establish his youngest son as the Crown Prince.

But now his youngest son had a broken arm, and he didn't know if he still had his previous strength.

Maoshi seemed to see Touman's worry.

"This was done by the Crown Prince of Great Qin; in the future, your child will definitely take revenge!"

"Father, please rest assured."

"Although your child accidentally broke an arm, my wisdom and divine strength are still there."

In order to make his father believe, Maoshi directly lifted the hundred-jin stone pier on the side.

But the wound on the broken arm had not completely healed.

This time, when he exerted force, the wound burst open immediately.

Blood directly soaked the sleeve.

"What are you doing?"

"Put it down quickly!"

Touman was very satisfied to see that his youngest son could still lift the hundred-jin stone pier, but he also felt heartache that his wound was bleeding again.

He hurriedly asked someone to bandage the wound.

After the wound was bandaged again.

Maoshi recounted some of his encounters in Great Qin.

Touman learned that it was the Crown Prince of Great Qin who cut off his son's arm.

He was very angry, but he knew that revenge might be hopeless.

That was the Great Qin Empire, not a small country, an existence that could directly crush them.

"Father, your child has one thing to tell you."

Maoshi thought for a long time and decided to tell about Modu swapping the problematic horses.

After all, his father currently favored him, and this was his capital.

Otherwise, he would only bury this matter in his heart.

But now there was power to borrow, so he didn't need to hide it in his heart.

Taking advantage of his father's favor, this was his opportunity.

"You mean those thousand-plus problematic horses were discovered?"

Touman frowned; he knew about the horses.

He also knew that Modu had swapped the horses.

Fifty-two thousand horses, with over a thousand warhorses mixed in.

He estimated that the other party would not be able to discover it, so he did not stop Modu's behavior.

The reason he frowned was that the other party had actually discovered this small problem.

If the horses didn't gallop, you couldn't see the problem at all.

"Father, did you know about this?"

Maoshi felt something was wrong when he heard this.

He felt deceived.

Was his life worthless?

Maoshi felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

But there was no way, so he had to tell the whole story.

When Touman learned that Maoshi had traded two thousand warhorses to Great Qin to return.

He didn't say much, after all, strictly speaking, he was also an accomplice.

"It's best that you can return safely."

"I also know something about the horses, after all, we don't have many horses."

"That's why we mixed in some problematic horses to make up the numbers."

Touman did not hide it and said it all.

Maoshi was speechless; it turned out his father also knew.

But why didn't he stop it?

Seeing Maoshi was somewhat speechless; so it turned out his father knew as well.

But why did he not stop it?
