Chapter 774: Discussion meeting, different intentions

In a spacious large wooden house.

Touman Chanyu was sitting in the middle position.

There were many people in front of him, and all the generals were present.

There were more than a dozen people standing here.

These were all big shots with status in the Xiongnu Tribal Alliance.

But today, it was not peaceful here, and there were occasional arguments.

One didn't know what they were arguing about.

At this moment, a soldier walked in.

"Chanyu, Modu requests an audience."

Those present fell silent upon hearing this name.

The expressions of the crowd also changed in a myriad of ways.

Modu?

Wasn't he a hostage in Dayueshi?

How did he suddenly return?

Just now, they had been engaged in an intense discussion here.

But no one had come to report that Modu had returned.

Therefore, they did not know about this matter.

Now, suddenly hearing that Modu had returned, they were all quite surprised.

When Touman heard that Modu had returned, his expression was somewhat complex.

Although sneak-attacking Dayueshi was Prince Modu's idea, he had not opposed it.

And he knew the result of sneak-attacking Dayueshi.

That was that Modu would surely be killed, but he had still unhesitatingly chosen to ignore it.

In other words, he didn't care whether Modu lived or died.

Originally, this was a good thing; if Modu couldn't return, then Prince Modu would be the Crown Prince.

But just two days after they sneak-attacked Dayueshi, soldiers sent back news.

Prince Modu had been captured by Great Qin soldiers again!

The fifty thousand cavalry sent to Great Qin had all been captured!

This news spread back to the Xiongnu, immediately causing a huge uproar.

That meant they had lost two Princes in a short period of time.

The high-level officials in the tribe were also discussing what to do.

But most of their thoughts were on how to ransom Prince Modu back.

They all actively ignored Modu, believing he had already died in Dayueshi.

Touman naturally had this thought as well; he liked Prince Modu more.

But with Prince Modu captured again, he was also extremely depressed.

With neither son returning, Touman became somewhat panicked.

Therefore, he also began to discuss how to ransom Prince Modu back.

But there were many opposing voices, and none agreed to use horses to exchange for Prince Modu again.

After all, horses were their foundation; one less meant one less.

Now, things were even worse; the discussion hadn't yielded a result.

The person who should have returned didn't, and the person who shouldn't have appeared did.

Touman's expression was somewhat complex, but it was quickly hidden by him and turned into calmness.

"Let him in."

Touman now also wanted to know how Modu had returned.

Not to mention him, even those present wanted to know.

"Modu can still return, what good luck!"

"Both Princes have had accidents, and now one has finally returned; Heaven bless our Great Xiongnu!"

"I wonder how he escaped back?"

"Who cares how he escaped back, as long as he's back."

"Does that mean we don't have to consider ransoming Prince Modu anymore?"

"We just ransomed him last time, losing tens of thousands of horses."

"Now it's happening again, and we don't have that many horses."

"Let's discuss this matter again, discuss it again."

Not everyone present liked Prince Modu.

It could only be said that most people liked him.

And a small portion of people liked Modu. ===== CHAPTER 776 =====
