Chapter 1747: A strategy of attacking the heart, the Living Yama's letter!

"Yes!"

Hearing this, several of Prince Langya's personal guards step forward to drag Huyun Gudu away.

Damn it!

Huyun Gudu curses Gao Yang's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in his heart while saying to Prince Langya.

"My Lord, it's a misunderstanding!"

"I, Huyun Gudu, have always been an upright person; how could I betray the Eternal Heaven?"

"My loyalty is beyond doubt!"

Prince Langya stares at Huyun Gudu and cannot help but laugh.

He reaches out, stopping his subordinates, and then abruptly draws a large saber.

Under the night sky, the saber radiates endless sharpness. Prince Langya, filled with soaring rage, walks toward Huyun Gudu step by step.

"Still trying to deceive me?"

"Do you take me for a fool? If you hadn't led the way, how could that Living Yama have broken out of the Sudan Desert so quickly? How could I have suffered such a crushing defeat?"

The more Prince Langya thinks, the angrier he gets, his killing intent barely concealed.

Huyun Gudu hurriedly says, "Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding! Your subordinate is wronged!"

"Huyun Gudu can die, but I cannot die so indignantly!"

"Does Your Highness know about the Western Region camels?"

"Camels?"

Prince Langya pauses, looking at Prince Zhenyue beside him.

They have naturally seen these camels, but what use are they?

"What does a camel have to do with me killing you?" Prince Langya asks coldly.

"My Lord, you do not know, but this Living Yama is so knowledgeable, he is simply not human! He said that a camel's nose is special and can smell water sources in the desert air, roaring in that direction!"

"Nonsense! I have lived in the Hexi lands for a long time; how have I never heard that camels have such ability?"

Prince Langya flatly denies it.

But Prince Zhenyue's expression changes, and he says from the side, "This is true!"

"I once captured a group of merchants from the Western Regions, and out of curiosity, I asked a few questions. They also said that camels are desert artifacts and have extremely keen noses!"

"What?"

"And this Living Yama is so young, he even knows this?"

Prince Langya is shocked.

Seeing a chance, Huyun Gudu hurriedly says.

"Your Highnesses, the terror of that Living Yama doesn't stop there!"

"Besides camels, he also prepared some sand ants. He said that sand ants build nests near water, and when they crawl, they can sense the moisture in the sand and head toward the water. And those Populus euphratica trees—their roots point toward water. He calls this... yes, biological instinct!"

"The most terrifying thing is that the Living Yama also took a large copper plate, put a little sand in it, and based on some electric field and Coulomb force, he could predict black sandstorms in the desert in advance!"

"What?"

"He can even predict black sandstorms?"

Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue are extremely shocked.

A deep sense of awe appears in Huyun Gudu's eyes. He hurriedly recounts the whole process of the journey, selectively omitting the part where he actively led the way.

Although Huyun Gudu loves to tell little lies, this was something he witnessed and verified with his own eyes!

After he finishes speaking.

Silence!

Utter silence!

Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue are stunned.

Using camels, sand ants, and Populus trees to find water, using sand in a copper plate to predict sandstorms, fighting while feeding on the enemy, using celestial phenomena to judge the words of captured guides, and even launching psychological warfare to sow discord and make them turn on each other.

This Living Yama is simply terrifying!

Prince Zhenyue even has an uncontrollable thought.

Great Chanyu, oh Great Chanyu, why on earth did you provoke him?

After a long while.

Prince Langya puts away his saber and looks at Huyun Gudu, "That Living Yama is indeed terrifying, and it has little to do with you."

"But I am curious, how did you escape from the Great Qian camp?"

Prince Langya appears to have let down his guard, but is actually waiting for Huyun Gudu's answer.

If Huyun Gudu says he took advantage of the Great Qian soldiers' inattention, he will immediately cut off Huyun Gudu's head.

Huyun Gudu smiles bitterly, "Your Highness, how would your subordinate have such ability? It was the Living Yama who voluntarily let me come to deliver a letter to you two."

"This letter..." Huyun Gudu looks left and right, lowering his voice, "is a surrender letter written by the Living Yama to you two lords!"

Huyun Gudu carefully takes out a letter, bows humbly, and hands it toward Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue with both hands.

"A surrender letter?"

"This Living Yama wants to take the Hexi lands without a fight; what a clever scheme!"

"Go back and tell the Living Yama to stop having his spring and autumn dreams!" Prince Langya curses directly.

Huyun Gudu's expression remains unchanged, just bowing his head, "Your Highnesses should take a look."

"The Living Yama said that in a head-on confrontation, our tribe is no match and cannot win. If you cannot wash away your shame, then you two will inevitably face the Great Chanyu's thunderous rage!"

"The Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man is lost..."

"You two have also suffered such a crushing defeat, allowing the Living Yama to establish illustrious merit and show his might to the world!"

"The Living Yama has struck Hexi a second time, and the casualties are even more terrifying than the first. In his fury, how could the Great Chanyu spare you two?"

Huyun Gudu's voice is very soft, but to Prince Zhenyue and Prince Langya, it sounds like a thunderclap exploding in their minds.

These words strike the deepest part of their hearts!

The first time the Living Yama crossed Canglan Mountain and killed his way into Hexi, breaking Prince Langya's city, Helian Cha scolded them mercilessly and was furious.

One must know that Helian Cha was the one who provoked Gao Yang first, yet Gao Yang returned in triumph; this was no different from a heavy slap to Helian Cha's face.

Now, in just a few months, the Living Yama has killed his way into Hexi again, a second time!

They have been defeated, and this time it is even worse; even the holy relic, the Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man, has fallen into Gao Yang's hands.

In his fury, will they even have their lives?

"Bring the letter here; I want to see what kind of tricks this Living Yama is playing!"

Prince Zhenyue speaks first.

After all... he was the one who lost the Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man.

Losing, losing, losing the golden man.

Gently placed beside the Living Yama.

He, Prince Zhenyue, cannot escape the blame!

Prince Langya's eyes flicker, but he ultimately remains silent.

Soon.

The envelope is torn open, and Prince Zhenyue takes out the letter inside.

He knits his brows, and the first sentence is, "This Living Yama's handwriting is even worse than mine; it's so ugly!"

Prince Langya leans in and nods in agreement.

The two look down, their gazes gradually becoming solemn.

【To the two Princes, Zhenyue and Langya:】

Seeing this letter is like meeting in person.

When you two unfold this letter, your troops' wounded soldiers must have already begun to fester and ooze pus, their wounds burning red and swollen, rotting flesh infested with maggots. The mare's milk wine poured by the Xiongnu shamans cannot stop the high fever, and the herbs applied cannot suppress the stench—this is caused by the blades of my command being soaked in the "Grace of the Eternal Heaven."

This injury is called a bacterial infection, and there is no cure; it all depends on whether your life is tough enough!

If you two retreat hundreds of miles, the wounded soldiers become a burden; if you keep them, they drag down the whole army; if you abandon them, you chill the hearts of the people. Have you two calculated the odds of winning in a head-on confrontation with my army under the influence of this "plague"?
