With the fall of Xuan'an City, the Xiongnu camel was finally crushed.

Mu Zian agreed to Agobhutan's peace request.

After Luan Ti returned from Liangzhou City, Agobtan personally led a team to Xuan'an City.

The remaining Xiongnu troops stationed outside the city were also given a strict order by Agobhudan: they must not engage in any conflict with the Dali soldiers.

Heavy snow continued to fall from the sky over Liangzhou.

As I rode on horseback, the cold wind blew into my collar from all directions.

Throughout the journey, Agobhutan remained silent, and Luanti, being a shrewd individual, also kept quiet.

However, everyone was filled with unease, as they had completely lost any advantage.

Therefore, they could only try their best to meet all of Mu Zi'an's requests.

No one knows what kind of domineering terms this ruthless man, who has traveled thousands of miles to capture his own Khan, will offer.

The group braved the wind and snow to continue their journey.

Meanwhile, Mu Zi'an, who was enjoying a rare moment of leisure in Xuan'an City.

He took out the two blueprints he received as a reward from the system and began to study them.

One image shows a bearing, and the other shows an improved steelmaking method.

These two things are the foundation of industrialization.

With these combined with gunpowder, Mu Zian could almost see the Italian cannon beckoning to him.

However, Mu Zian alone is certainly not capable of forging these things at the moment.

Science and technology will always be the greatest driving force for progress, no matter the time.

The ancients were simply limited by the understanding of their time; this does not mean that they were all fools.

The wisdom and intelligence of the ancients were in no way inferior to those of modern people.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and Mu Zian would never choose to work in isolation.

Therefore, setting up an arms factory is now an urgent matter.

Just as Mu Zian was pondering, Zhao Yun's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu has arrived."

A slight smile appeared on Mu Zian's lips.

Whoever loses their temper first at the negotiating table will find themselves in a passive position.

At this moment, Mu Zian had completely taken control of the rhythm.

Mu Zian slowly put away the blueprints and spoke.

"Let them in."

Before long, Agobhutan and Luanti entered Mu Zian's room.

There were still unmelted snowflakes on their shoulders.

This was also the first time that Agobhutan had met Mu Zi'an so closely, face to face.

Luan Ti stared in shock at the young man in the scholar's robe before him.

Young! Far too young!

It's hard to imagine that this young man in front of us traveled thousands of miles to capture our own Khan, and then went to the capital to kill the Left Wise King Yelü Junba.

In the end, they captured the magnificent Xuan'an City in just a few hours.

Any one of these deeds alone would be enough to make one famous throughout the world.

However, all the honors at this moment belong to this young man in front of us.

Moreover, they had seen the hideous wound on the city wall of Xuan'an City when they entered the city.

Luan Ti could not imagine what kind of divine power could destroy the city walls like this.

At this moment, Mu Zi'an looked at them with a smile on his face.

However, Luan Ti's body couldn't help but tremble.

After a long silence, Agobhutan broke the silence first.

“The Right Wise King Agobhutan greets the Duke of Dali.”

Upon seeing this, Luan Ti quickly bowed and spoke.

"I never expected the Duke of Zhenguo to be so young."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zian glanced at Luan Ti before his gaze returned to Agobhutan.

Agobtan also spoke directly without beating around the bush.

"I wonder what the Duke of Zhenguo thinks of my proposal?"

"If you agree, I will immediately lead my warriors from the grasslands away from Liangzhou."

Upon hearing this, Luan Ti's expression changed slightly. As a Hu merchant who had been in contact with Han people for many years, he was quite different.

Luan Ti knew that negotiations couldn't be so direct; wouldn't that make him seem too anxious?

This would inevitably put them at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Although Luan Ti was very anxious, he dared not say much and could only observe the situation from the sidelines.

Mu Zian picked up a cup of tea, blew away the rising steam, and smiled.

"Liangzhou was originally the territory of my Great Li. How can you just let it go after you took my things and returned them to me?"

Upon hearing this, Agobhutan's expression turned slightly cold.

"These cities were all conquered by our grassland warriors at the cost of their lives."

Before Agobtan could finish speaking, Mu Zian interrupted him coldly.

"Just because it was stolen doesn't mean it's yours."

"Now is not the time to make peace, but for you to beg for peace and find your place."

Agobtan's face turned red after being rebuked by Mu Zian's words.

"Hmph, does the Duke of Zhenguo think he has victory in his grasp?"

Mu Zian smiled and pointed out the window.

“Three days ago, this was the city you were stationed in, but now all the Xiongnu people in the city are prisoners.”

"What do you think of Gongqiu Bicheng compared to Xuan'an City?"

A threat! This is a blatant threat!

Agobtan was somewhat angry.

"Duke Zhenguo, do not forget that I still have 40,000 iron cavalry under my command!"

"Even if it means certain death, we warriors of the grasslands are not afraid!"

Mu Zian slowly sat down, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Even with 100,000 iron cavalry, Yelü Jun couldn't do anything. What trouble do you think you can stir up with just 40,000 defeated soldiers?"

"They are nothing but withered bones in a tomb, and flickering candles in the wind."
