Chapter 921
Everyone was somewhat impatient to know the latest news.
"We learned through the telescope that the messenger has returned on horseback."
"Only he returned alone; he should be here soon."
The soldier answered truthfully.
Only one person returned?
What about the one hundred thousand warhorses?
Everyone was somewhat confused.
Could it be that the negotiations collapsed?
Did the Great Xiongnu refuse to use one hundred thousand warhorses to exchange for the person?
Otherwise, why did only one person come over?
"Give the order to bring that person here."
"By the way, bring Touman over too."
Ying Ying Zi Ye thought for a moment; it was better to bring the person over to see the situation.
He couldn't guess the subsequent development either.
Only by seeing the person could he know.
As for whether it was a success or failure, it would depend on luck.
"Understood!"
The soldier received the order and turned to walk out.
"What is the situation?"
"Why did only one person return?"
"Was this a success or a failure?"
"Who knows? We'll know when that person returns."
"Thinking so much now is useless; let's just wait."
"I hope it was a success; otherwise, we will definitely have to go on an expedition."
"Success or failure, an expedition is inevitable!"
After the soldier left, Deputy General Zhao and the others discussed it.
They hoped this transaction could succeed.
The one who cared most was Han Xin.
After all, he was the one who captured the person.
If the transaction failed, his hard work would have been in vain.
To say he wasn't depressed would be a lie.
Soon, Touman was brought over.
Touman, arriving at the temporary tent, was completely bewildered.
He thought this group was going to make a move on him.
But the people here didn't pay him any attention.
This left him very confused.
It shouldn't be that they were going to make a move on him.
Otherwise, this group wouldn't have ignored him.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Were the horses sent over?"
Touman thought to himself, the horses must have been sent.
Otherwise, why bring him here?
He was also somewhat nervous; with the horses delivered, would this group go back on their word?
But no matter how Touman spoke, no one paid him any attention.
This made him very depressed.
Could something have gone wrong?
Seeing no one paying him any attention, he could only wait quietly.
Another long while passed.
The tent curtain was lifted.
Two people entered from outside.
It was Ha Da, who had left earlier, returning again.
"Ha Da, why are you here?"
"Was the matter of the horses handled?"
"Were the horses brought?"
"Can we go back now?"
Touman, seeing the person arrive, was immediately stunned.
Why was Ha Da here?
When did he return?
"Chanyu, why are you here too?"
Ha Da was also somewhat surprised; originally he had come to report the news.
But as soon as he arrived at the Qin military camp, he was forcibly taken away.
He couldn't even go find the Chanyu.
He didn't expect to see the Chanyu here.
Looking at this situation, he couldn't even talk to the Chanyu in private.
With so many Qin generals gathered in this tent, what did they want to do?
Ha Da was somewhat anxious; he wanted to whisper some words to Touman.
He wanted Touman to think of a plan.
Otherwise, everyone would be finished.
If the Qin learned that no one was willing to take one hundred thousand horses to exchange for the Chanyu.
The Chanyu's end would certainly be miserable; it wouldn't be impossible for him to be killed.
Let alone the Chanyu, even he and those subordinates wouldn't be able to escape.
Another result was being captured to do hard labor.
He knew that the previous Great Xiongnu people had all been captured and taken back to Great Qin to do hard labor.
Would their result be the same?
Ha Da became somewhat worried.
Before he could whisper, he was interrupted by someone on the side.
"Don't reminisce anymore."
"If you have anything to say, say it loudly."
"Let everyone hear."
Meng Tian stood out, signaling to the translator soldier on the side.
The soldier translated the words.
Touman and Ha Da looked at each other.
From Ha Da's expression, Touman felt something was wrong.
But now they didn't even have the chance to be alone.
They could only say it here.
"Ha Da, speak, did something happen?"
"Being alone is almost impossible."
"If you have anything to say, just say it; I can take it."
Touman had no choice but to do so.
Ha Da, upon hearing this, had a somewhat indifferent expression.
