Chapter 1756
"Do Yan Wushuang and Chen Ping want to come and rebuke me for not doing things well?"
Helian Cha frowns, thinking it is a letter of rebuke.
"Don't look, burn it!"
He says coldly.
On the side, Wang Xin advises, "Great Chanyu, you should take a look."
"Great Yan is the leader of the Three Kingdoms alliance with our Heavenly God. If we offend Great Yan, it will be unfavorable for our tribe's future!"
"It's just a letter. Even if the words are intense, Great Chanyu can just let it go in one ear and out the other!"
Hearing this, Helian Cha feels it makes sense.
So.
He says, "Bring it here for me to see!"
Helian Cha takes the letter and opens it.
The next second.
Helian Cha's face changes drastically, his hand gripping the letter tightening inch by inch.
"Great Chanyu, is the Yan Emperor scolding very harshly?"
Helian Cha shakes his head and turns to look at Wang Xin, "No, this is not a letter of rebuke, but a letter of warning from the poisonous scholar beside the Yan Emperor!"
"Warning?"
"Chen Ping says that Hexi has been defeated twice, and this time it was a crushing defeat, and even the Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man was lost. He says I must be furious and want to behead Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue!"
"He wants me to be careful that Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue are thinking the same thing, and to be careful that the Living Yama uses this point... to attack the heart!"
"He says the Living Yama's specialty is not leading troops in battle, but attacking the heart!"
The words fall.
Wang Xin's pupils shrink.
Cold sweat drips down his back, soaking his robes, and a chill rushes from his heart to his crown!
He immediately says to Helian Cha, "Great Chanyu, this must be handled with extra care!"
"Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue suffered a defeat and lost our tribe's holy relic, so they must be afraid of your reckoning. That Great Qian Living Yama has always been cunning; perhaps he really is making an issue of this!"
Helian Cha's face is gloomy, and without any hesitation, he says.
"Someone!"
"Pass my order: go to the Hexi land quickly, see Prince Zhenyue and Prince Langya in person, and tell them that victory and defeat are common in military affairs. I swear by the Eternal Heaven, and by my own lifeblood and Batel's life, that I will never pursue this matter!"
"But Hexi must not be lost; this involves our tribe's lifeblood! Once Hexi is lost, it will be difficult to take it back!"
Batel: "???"
This has something to do with him?
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the personal guards rush from the Xiongnu Royal Court to the Hexi land.
Helian Cha's gaze is deep, filled with thick worry.
He mutters to himself, "Once Hexi is lost, Great Qian's strength will skyrocket, and they can deter the entire Western Regions and cut off our tribe's root of war horses! At that time, our tribe will surely lose heart, our combat power will be greatly reduced, and then... the offense and defense will truly change!"
"I hope... all this is still in time, and nothing has happened yet!"
Helian Cha says, his eyes filled with thick worry.
In the royal tent, there is deathly silence.
At this moment, Helian Cha feels a trace of regret in his heart.
Why did he have to torture that Gao Linyuan, make him a cripple, and send him to Great Qian's Changancheng as four gifts, deliberately insulting the Living Yama and forcing him to take action?
He achieved his goal, but this price, he really can't stand it...
If he had known that the Great Qian Living Yama was so brutal, why did he do this?
"..."
Hexi land.
Time passes.
Soon, a piece of news spreads throughout the Hexi land.
Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue have decided to surrender, and tomorrow morning, they will surrender to Great Qian at the banks of the Langya River.
As soon as the news is out, the Xiongnu people are stunned.
But under the absolute pressure of Prince Langya and Prince Zhenyue, and after killing a batch of people, it was forcibly suppressed.
The night before the surrender.
A camp.
Prince Langya stands in the tent, his eyes flickering rapidly, as if he is conflicted.
"Is that really what the Great Chanyu said?"
Behind him, Helian Cha's personal guard says, "Prince Langya, this matter is absolutely true!"
"The Great Chanyu swore by the Eternal Heaven, and by his own lifeblood and Prince Batel's life, that he will never pursue this!"
"The Great Chanyu said that once Hexi is lost, our tribe will never rise again, so I ask Prince Langya to think twice!"
Hearing this, Prince Langya's eyes stop dodging, and he exhales a heavy breath.
He says, "How could I, Prince Langya, be a person who betrays his trust? Since that is the case... it is better to let that Living Yama eat his own fruit!"
After speaking, he strides toward Prince Zhenyue's tent.
As soon as Prince Langya sees Prince Zhenyue, he speaks directly, "Brother Zhenyue, has the Great Chanyu's personal guard come?"
Prince Zhenyue nods, his eyes deep.
"He came!"
"I suppose Brother Langya also knows the Great Chanyu's meaning. What do you want to do?"
Prince Langya says excitedly, "The Great Chanyu has taken an oath never to pursue this matter, so why should we surrender to Great Qian?"
"Once Hexi is lost, our tribe will never rise again. You and I both know this!"
"In my humble opinion, why not fake a surrender tomorrow and give the Living Yama a fatal blow at a critical moment to take revenge!"
"Brother Zhenyue, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Prince Zhenyue laughs loudly, "Brother Langya, you and I are worthy of being sworn brothers; we think exactly the same!"
"Since there is a way out and the Great Chanyu has taken an oath, why should we surrender?"
"We should give that Living Yama some color to see, and let him know what it means to be stabbed in the back!"
Prince Langya is very excited.
"Brother Zhenyue, heroes think alike. Since that is the case, then I will..."
However, Prince Langya cannot say the last three words.
He lowers his head and sees a sharp dagger in his abdomen.
Blood flows out, dripping onto the ground, staining the white fox-fur carpet red.
Prince Langya looks in disbelief, raising his head to look at Prince Zhenyue's familiar face.
The smile on Prince Zhenyue's face has long since disappeared, replaced by a coldness.
"Wh... why?"
Prince Zhenyue's voice is cold, ringing in Prince Langya's ear.
"You can trust the Great Chanyu... but I cannot, because the one who lost the Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man is me, not you!"
Prince Langya's face changes.
He spits out blood in large mouthfuls, his face distorted.
He uses all his strength to squeeze out one sentence, "You really... want to surrender, then... you... you... say it, why... why... kill... me? I... I didn't say... I definitely wouldn't surrender!"
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Prince Zhenyue is shocked.
Prince Langya's face distorts even more, and more blood seeps from the corners of his mouth. He grits his teeth and says.
"You... you... you didn't give... didn't give... me the chance!"
After speaking, Prince Langya dies.
He falls to the ground, his eyes wide open.
Prince Zhenyue looks at the corpse on the ground and falls into a long silence.
After a long while, he speaks.
"Someone!"
