Hulunur looked at the person who spoke with a gloomy face.

Being stared at by Hulunur, the man who was talking incessantly just now shut up instantly and dared not say another word.

He was afraid that if he said another word, the general's knife would strike his neck.

Hulunur's chest kept rising and falling. "According to you, we are completely helpless against them?"

Everyone looked at each other, wanting to answer but not daring to.

Their silence is actually the best answer.

Hulunur was so angry that his eyes were blazing, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do at the moment.

I could only angrily say, "Go back!"

That incompetent kid Ashinanachi would just run away when something happened, without even looking back.

Of their nearly 50,000 troops, more than 40,000 fled with Ashina Nachi.

Like a stray dog, it kept running wildly in the mountains.

Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Hulunur could imagine the scene.

While feeling angry, Hulunur also felt ashamed.

He had lived for decades and had never been so embarrassed.

Although he anticipated that he would be punished after returning to the Turks, Hulunur had no other choice at this time and could only think of other ways on the way back.

-

A day later, the eldest prince finally arrived outside Tingzhou City with 20,000 troops.

But after arriving outside the city, the eldest prince frowned.

"Didn't they say a large Turkic army was about to attack the city? Where are the troops? Could it be that they lied about the military intelligence?"

As he asked this question, the eldest prince's mind was also spinning rapidly, constantly wondering why he had to lie about military intelligence. Could it be that it was to trick him out?

No, it's impossible.

The people of Tingzhou are not crazy, and it is absolutely impossible for them to tell such a huge lie just to deal with me.

If it wasn't for himself, then it was most likely for Li Junyan.

They lied about the military intelligence in order to get Li Junyan back from Chang'an City.

The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him, and an angry expression appeared on his face, but soon he thought of something else, and the angry expression turned into pride.

Now, Li Junyan's handle is completely in his hands!

If Li Junyan didn't want him to go to Chang'an City to file a complaint, he could only cooperate with him.

The expression on the eldest prince's face kept changing, and in the end he even laughed out loud.

Lin Qi rode his horse and followed the eldest prince.

Lin Qi took in all the changes in the eldest prince's facial expressions.

Although he didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking, he felt that the eldest prince looked very stupid at this moment.

Lin Qi was too lazy to look anymore. Just as he looked away, he saw someone riding a horse towards him.

Although the rolling of horse hooves stirred up a lot of dust, making it difficult to see the appearance of the person sitting on the horse.

However, Lin Qi recognized the man as Sun Er just by looking at his outline.

Soon, the man came closer on horseback.

It turned out to be Sun Er.

After not seeing each other for a while, Lin Qi was very surprised to see that Sun Er had lost some weight.

He and Sun Er had known each other since childhood and knew that Sun Er had been a fat boy since childhood.

Over the years, he has been running around and practicing martial arts, but his grandson has never lost weight and his figure is very stable.

But this time, it wasn't long since they separated, but Sun Er had already lost a lot of weight.

Even though he had not personally witnessed the scene of the 50,000-strong Turkic army approaching the city, just by looking at Sun Er, who had lost two pounds, Lin Qi knew that the situation was still very critical.

Especially Sun Er, who was left by the prince to look after and manage Tingzhou, must have been unable to eat or sleep, so he lost so much weight.

Lin Qi was filled with emotion, but at this moment, he heard the voice of the eldest prince.

"Why is it you? Why didn't your prince come over? Didn't they say that a large Turkish army was approaching the city to attack? Where is the Turkish army? Why didn't this prince see a single one? Could it be that you lied about the military intelligence? Do you know the punishment for deceiving the emperor?"

After hearing what the eldest prince said, not to mention Sun Er and Lin Qi, even the other generals, big and small, looked at the eldest prince with very strange eyes.

They were really curious about how the eldest prince came up with this guess and how he dared to speak it out loud.

Any normal person wouldn't talk like that.

But when they saw the eldest prince with a look of rage on his face, everyone felt relieved.

Just looking at the eldest prince's appearance, you can tell that he is not a normal person, so it is not surprising that he would ask such a question.

Sun Er quickly adjusted his expression and, without dismounting, saluted, "Grand Prince, my prince has instructed that the city cannot accommodate such a large army, so we can set up camp outside the city. He will make other arrangements after a day of rest."

"She has plans? What plans does he have?" the eldest prince asked unhappily.

Sun Er smiled politely but distantly, "Wang Yanmei said that this is not something I can ask."

"Where is Li Junyan? Why doesn't he come out to greet me in person? Take me to see him."

"Your Majesty has other matters."

The eldest prince's face was filled with displeasure. "Is there anything more important than welcoming my elder brother?"

Sun Er had a polite smile on his face, but he had no intention of answering.

Seeing Sun Er's attitude, the eldest prince became more and more angry, but getting angry at a subordinate would only make people think that he, the eldest prince, was incompetent.

Therefore, the eldest prince took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. "Then where should I live? Is he going to let me live outside the city as well?"
