Chapter 1456

~6 min read 1,037 words

Hearing the first half of Guo Tu's words, Yufuluo, who was frowning, had already guessed what Guo Tu wanted to say.

"Right Worthy Prince." Guo Tu turned sideways, stretched out his palm, and pointed to Yufuluo's position: "As far as I know, for the past few years, the Xiongnu's affairs have basically been handled by the Right Worthy Prince."

"Your father's health is not as good as before, and the problems between the tribes, including foreign wars, have always been handled by you, Right Worthy Prince."

"In terms of prestige, I also believe that the Right Worthy Prince will definitely be a good candidate for Chanyu."

"And you are also Chanyu Qiangqu's eldest son."

"Establishing the eldest, establishing the legitimate, there is no doubt about this..."

"But..."

Guo Tu's tone changed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "But today's prosperity of the Southern Xiongnu is not relying on the Southern Xiongnu's own power; I think you, Right Worthy Prince, know this clearly."

"Without Duan Yu's help, without Duan Yu's support, would the Southern Xiongnu have developed so fast in these few years?"

Yufuluo, frowning, clenched his fists secretly.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Yufuluo knew in his heart that Guo Tu was right.

Without Duan Yu's help, the Southern Xiongnu would definitely not have developed so fast in these few years.

Even, if it weren't for the compromise and peace talks with Duan Yu, it was uncertain whether the Southern Xiongnu would still exist today.

Guo Tu squinted his eyes to observe the expression on Yufuluo's face, taking advantage of the situation to see through Yufuluo's inner thoughts.

"Right Worthy Prince, since the Southern Xiongnu relies on Duan Yu to obtain today's development, when Chanyu Qiangqu passes the throne in the future, won't he consider this reason?"

"According to what I know, for these years, your brother Huchuquan has always been by Duan Yu's side."

"The relationship between you two brothers and Duan Yu, I think old Chanyu Qiangqu can still distinguish clearly."

"When Duan Yu was in Jinyang, you and Duan Yu had a battle at Daqingshan, your leg..."

Bang!

Yufuluo slammed his fist on the table in front of him with full anger.

The plates and daggers placed on the table all fell off.

The two Xiongnu beauties on the side were so frightened that they knelt on the side.

Yufuluo looked at Guo Tu with red eyes.

The leg Yufuluo broke was his reverse scale now.

No one dared to mention it easily.

But Guo Tu had no fear on his face.

"Right Worthy Prince, there is an old saying in the Central Plains that loyal words are harsh to the ear; although my words may be harsh, what I say is the truth, and I am also clarifying the facts for you, Right Worthy Prince."

Guo Tu looked at Yufuluo without avoiding his gaze and continued: "Duan Yu once did things to you, Right Worthy Prince, and the wounds left on you will follow you for a lifetime."

"Doesn't Duan Yu worry about your hatred, Right Worthy Prince?"

"You are not the ruler of the Xiongnu now, so Duan Yu doesn't need to worry."

"But what about later? If one day you become the Xiongnu Chanyu, will Duan Yu worry that you will take revenge?"

"So... Right Worthy Prince, do you think if one day your father Chanyu Qiangqu passes the throne, who will he pass it to?"

"If Duan Yu interferes, who will Duan Yu support to succeed as the Xiongnu Chanyu?"

"Is it you, Right Worthy Prince, who once had a feud with him, or your brother who has followed him for several years and has already been trained to be obedient?"

Yufuluo clenched his fists and pursed his lips, unable to say a word.

Yufuluo had not thought about this question.

In fact, Yufuluo had considered this question a long time ago.

The answer was also obvious.

If he were Duan Yu, he would also choose to support the obedient Huchuquan.

This was also why he mocked his brother in front of his father that day.

But knowing the answer and having no choice were two different things.

His father was still alive, and he couldn't do anything.

Nor could he interfere with future developments.

He could only resign himself to fate.

He also knew that he had hatred for Duan Yu in his heart.

Duan Yu would definitely be wary of him.

But what could this change?

Nothing could be changed.

His father wouldn't listen to him.

His sister had already given birth to children for Duan Yu.

His brother had been by Duan Yu's side for several years and had already become Duan Yu's confidant.

In his whole family, only he hated Duan Yu.

In the words of the Han people, this is called being insignificant.

"Right Worthy Prince, the answer is obviously in your heart; I don't need to say more."

"Perhaps you think that choosing to give up the position of Xiongnu Chanyu can protect yourself."

"But please also look at the fate of Duan Yu's former enemies."

Guo Tu observed Yufuluo's expression and said: "But now, I have brought an opportunity."

"An opportunity that can make you the Xiongnu Chanyu, an opportunity that can make the Xiongnu get rid of Duan Yu's control, an opportunity that gives you a chance to take revenge; it's just that I don't know... whether you are willing to grasp this opportunity."

Yufuluo gritted his teeth.

The wound where his right leg was broken seemed to be aching faintly.

That look was like a head wolf forced into a desperate situation.

The hatred boiling in his chest was like a curved sword repeatedly forged, and every breath pulled at the hidden pain of his old broken leg.

At this time, the dome tent was silent, and the two Xiongnu beauties, although they couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by Guo Tu, could feel the cold chill emanating from Yufuluo at this time.

The two women with their heads lowered knelt beside Yufuluo, not daring to move at all.

After a long while, Yufuluo spoke.

He squeezed out a question mixed with hatred and desire from between his teeth.
