Chapter 775

It wasn't the first time Prince Modu had been captured.

Now that he had been captured again, this also made many people dissatisfied.

After all, wanting to ransom people from Great Qin was not easy.

Because Great Qin liked horses, one could only use horses to ransom people.

But they also needed horses, and it was impossible to use them all to ransom people.

Touman frowned upon hearing these words.

Soon, Modu walked in.

"Greetings, Father, greetings, everyone."

Modu placed one hand on his chest and bowed to everyone.

Everyone's gaze, without exception, turned to Modu.

And Touman asked directly.

"Modu, how did you return?"

Modu heard this, and a flash of ruthlessness passed through his eyes.

How else could he return?

He must have escaped back.

If he hadn't been a bit slick, he reckoned he would have already died by now.

"Father, I escaped back with great difficulty after fleeing the whole way."

"I nearly died on the road."

"I don't know why you suddenly sneak-attacked Dayueshi."

"Father should have sent someone to notify me in advance."

"Because of this, I nearly failed to return."

Modu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't dare to say too much.

He could only make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Sigh."

Touman sighed deeply upon hearing this.

"Modu, don't blame me."

"There are many reasons for sneak-attacking Dayueshi."

"And this was not my decision alone."

"As for why I didn't notify you, time was too urgent, so I neglected you."

"Now that you can return alive, it proves that you are also very strong."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Touman's lonely expression was fully revealed.

"Father, you are overthinking it; how could I blame you?"

"Sneak-attacking Dayueshi is nothing more than wanting to strengthen the Xiongnu."

"Even if Modu were sacrificed, I would have no complaints!"

Modu was righteous, his expression firm, and his tone exceptionally resolute.

But what he was actually thinking in his heart, no one knew.

Those present nodded inwardly upon hearing this.

"Chanyu, now that the Crown Prince has returned, this is a good thing."

"Can we discuss the matter of ransoming Prince Modu slowly later?"

"After all, since he has been captured by Great Qin, it's not like we can ransom him back immediately."

"This matter can only be handled slowly; being too hasty is not a solution."

"This should be quite good, and the Crown Prince's return journey was riddled with crises."

"Fortunately, he had good luck; this is already the umpteenth time."

"Can we consider arranging ten thousand cavalry as guards for the Crown Prince?"

Someone in the crowd was stirring up trouble; to put it bluntly, they didn't want to use horses to ransom Prince Modu.

After all, the horses were deducted from their own shares.

How long had it been since the last deduction?

Now they had to deduct again, and the quantity might be much larger than last time.

Therefore, they were all unhappy in their hearts; it would be better to support Crown Prince Modu.

As long as one just opened their mouth, even the horses were saved.

Which was stronger and which was weaker was clear at a glance.

Therefore, more and more people voiced their support for Modu.

Even those who had previously supported Prince Modu spoke up to support Modu.

They supported giving ten thousand soldiers to Modu as guards.

The reason was even more ridiculous.

They said that now there was only one Prince, so he must be protected well.

Anyway, they only needed to open their mouths.

They didn't need to pay anything, and even if it were ten thousand cavalry, the Chanyu would have to provide them.

Touman saw this situation and knew it was the trend.

Even if he was unhappy in his heart, there was absolutely no way.

Everyone thought they should discuss ransoming Prince Modu slowly.

He couldn't stand alone; if he went too far, the people below would also act in defiance.

He had no choice but to compromise and could only arrange ten thousand cavalry for Modu first.

It could be considered compensation for his flight and nearly dying in Dayueshi.

It could also be said to be stabilizing Modu while satisfying the demands of the various generals. ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
