Chapter 393 It’s Us

Helian Wuqin withdrew his hand that had been stretched out to take the wine.

He smiled with a sinister look in his eyes:

"It seems the Khan has already made his decision. He called me here just to inform me."

Hu Long spoke bluntly, without giving any face:

"Hasn't your father sent a message urging you to cease the fighting? If you continue fighting like this, Tiele Khan will be unable to bear it. When you were driven back from Chang'an by the Great Qi, your forces suffered even greater losses. If you continue fighting, you won't even have enough men to graze your herds in the spring."

Helian Wuqin clenched his hands under the table into fists, but still forced a smile on his face:

"My father has sent someone to deliver a letter. Now that it has come to this, we can only bow to Da Qi. It's a pity—"

I thought Hunxie was some great talent, but it turns out he's just this good."

Hu Long did not respond to Helian Wuqin's provocation and said:

"You should discuss this with your father as soon as possible and show how much sincerity you can show in the negotiations."

Helian Wuqin walked out of the tent with a dark face.

A group of attendants followed him back.

Tiebada skillfully served hot tea to Helian Wuqin.

At this time, another Hu soldier came in and reported:

"General! A letter has just arrived from Da Qi, and it has already been delivered to Hunxie Khan's tent. Hunxie has sent someone to say that Da Qi is interested in peace talks."

Helian Wuqin slammed the table angrily:

"Sure enough, the previous news was correct... Hulong had long been colluding with those Han people!"

Otherwise, how could Da Qi's peace letter be delivered at such a coincidence?

Hu Long must have received the news from Da Qi and put on a show in front of him.

Helian Wuqin was glad that he had been more cautious and secretly arranged for someone to gather information, otherwise he might have been kept in the dark.

There was panic in Tiebada's voice:

"General, what should we do? What if... what if the peace talks on that day really were a trap, and the Hunxie people wanted to use Tiele Khan's head to curry favor with the Great Qi..."

A cold look appeared in Helian Wuqin's eyes:

"They wish! Does he think he's the only one who can scheme?"

Helian Wuqin turned and asked:

"Where is the son Hulong found?"

Tiebada: "He is still locked up in the tent. It is strictly guarded. No one can get close except Hulong and the servants in the tent."

Helian Wuqin took out the small crossbow from his sleeve and played with it in his hand, with a bit of ruthlessness in his voice:

"Hulong wants to take our Tiele Khan's head, so I will tear off his precious son's head first!"

…

The Great Qi and the Hu people exchanged letters, both expressing their willingness to negotiate.

So the date and place for the peace talks were quickly set.

The location for the peace talks was right in the middle of the two military camps.

Hulong and Xue Yucheng each led their troops to the nearby area and sent the generals in charge of negotiations to meet and negotiate. If any problems arose, someone would come back for instructions at any time.

On the day of the peace talks, Hulong and his men were ready to set off early in the morning.

Helian Wuqin was also ready, but he was lying in the carriage.

Hu Long asked what happened.

Someone answered, "Our general is too worried about the peace talks and is unwell."

Recently, Helian Wuqin always sleeps in the tent during the day.

Hulong really disliked Helian Wuqin. He didn't show any ability in fighting, but he insisted on acting like he was very capable.

Hu Long snorted coldly and ignored it.

He led the army and the shadows of the group went farther and farther away.

Tiebada sat beside the military tent with his head down. When he saw the people walking away, he turned around and whispered:

"General, they're gone."

Under the thick blanket, Helian Wuqin opened his dark eyes:

"Wait a moment, then we'll take action."

The sun rises higher and higher.

The soldiers' shadows on the ground became shorter.

Helian Wuqin walked out of the tent.

Several patrolling Hunxie soldiers passed by and were surprised to see Helian Wuqin was still there. They clearly remembered that Helian Wuqin should have gone to negotiate with the Khan this morning.

"Helian——" they began to speak.

Whoosh—whoosh—

Two hidden arrows pierced their throats, and blood spurted out.

There was a moment of dead silence all around.

Helian Wuqin roared:

"kill!"

Tiele Khan's soldiers were well prepared. They rushed out from all parts of the camp fully armed and directly killed the Hunxie soldiers who were not prepared.

Helian Wuqin led his men to attack the tent where Kong Wu was.

He did not go to the peace talks today. In the carriage that left in the morning, only his men were lying there, because he was sure that he would die if he went to the peace talks.

Helian Wuqin decided to take this opportunity to escape.

But he resented Hulong's betrayal and wanted to vent his anger before leaving.

Since Hulong cared about his newly found son, he killed the man named Bagta before leaving.

"You are not allowed to come in. The Khan has ordered that no one can enter!" A group of Hunxie soldiers guarding outside the tent drew their swords.

They saw the Tiele Khan's intentions.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Helian Wuqin's lips. "Whether you can enter or not, your Khan's words no longer count."

Helian Wuqin waved his hand and the soldiers around him started fighting.

It's a sunny day today, with no clouds in the sky.

The scorching sun makes people's scalps numb.

The grass that sprouted from the ground grew greener and taller with the nourishment of blood.

Since Hulong took away a lot of troops, the number of Hunxie people in the military camp was slightly less than that of Tiele Khan.

Helian Wuqin looked at the situation with satisfaction.

He didn't defeat Da Qi, but at least he gave the Hunxie people a whip.

The soldiers guarding outside Kong Wu's tent were outnumbered and fell one after another.

Tiele Khan's soldiers were about to rush into the tent when a huge shadow rushed out from behind the door curtain and knocked away the two people walking in front.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Kong Wu ran out from inside.

There was someone watching him inside before, but the situation got chaotic and the guards came out.

Kong Wu also rushed out anxiously.

But he had been drugged before, and his head felt heavy and his strength was only half of what it used to be.

Helian Wuqin proudly aimed his bow and arrow at Kong Wu. Just as he was about to shoot, thick smoke rose from the chaotic military camp.

Helian Wuqin smelled the thick smoke and his smile froze on his face:

"Who set the fire? Idiot! Didn't I tell you I wasn't going to set the fire?"

Helian Wuqin roared loudly. He had previously arranged for people to transport all the food and grass away.

Once the fire is set and cannot be controlled, it is very likely that the food and supplies they want to take away will be burned as well.

If they run out of food and supplies, they won't be able to go far on their way back.

Before Helian Wuqin could find out who set the fire, a cloud of smoke dissipated.

No one knew what kind of drug was mixed into the smoke, but it didn't make people dizzy, but it made their eyes feel like they were being pricked by needles, and they were so painful that they couldn't open their eyes.

Helian Wuqin also subconsciously closed his eyes.

Several darts flew through the air from outside the smoke, and one of them pierced Helian Wuqin's waist.

"Ah——!" Helian Wuqin screamed.

An old but powerful voice sounded:

"You bastard, you dare to set your sights on Kong Wu? I'll make you pay!"

Kong Wu was also blinded by the smoke and could not see who was in front of him. He could only wave his heavy arms around.

He heard the voice and recognized it as his grandfather.

"Ahhh, ahhh!" Kong Wu forced his eyes open. His eyes were almost bleeding from the smoke.

He wanted to tell his grandfather that he was here.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several Hu soldiers rushing towards him in a sea of ​​red.

One of the soldiers took out some powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on him.

Kong Wu was unable to dodge and some of the powder splashed onto his eyes. He immediately felt a cool sensation in his eyes and the burning pain was immediately suppressed.

The smallest soldier ran over and said:

"Brother Kong Wu, it's us!"

Kong Wu was stunned and stopped resisting instantly.

There was chaos and smoke everywhere.

There was a man as strong as a bear, wiping his wet eyes awkwardly and giving a bright smile.
