When Jiang Sheng heard this, his eyes flashed with understanding. He tightened his grip on the bag on his back and looked at them warily: "You are... Huns. You actually came here quietly."

The leader thought of the prince's instructions, lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully, "Sir, if you are willing to treat the plague, please feel free to ask for any conditions."

"A woman of gold, silver, and jewelry can have anything she wants."

"As long as the plague can be cured, you will be a guest of honor in the Xiongnu in the future. Wouldn't it be nice to live a happy life there?"

Jiang Sheng's lips curled slightly, his eyes full of sarcasm.

What a bullshit! Once we get the plague recipe from him, we won’t have to be passive in the negotiations with Da Gan. He will no longer be of any value.

There is only one way to go: death!

Even if there were more benefits, he would not go to the Huns. However, the situation is not good for him now, and how can he send out the signal?

Jiang Sheng suddenly covered her stomach, her face looking a little embarrassed. She said awkwardly, "Wait, let's talk about this later. Let me go to the bathroom first, okay?"

The leading strong man: "...Yes, Sa will go with you, sir."

"Yes, sir."

The two of them went to the bushes, one in front and the other behind.

A cup of tea passed.

A stick of incense passed, but the person still didn't come back.

The Huns immediately realized that something was wrong and flew over, only to see a person lying on the ground in the bushes, with no trace of the Central Plains man.

Seeing this, Gra's chest heaved with rage. He growled, "You useless bastard! You can't even find a doctor. Hurry up and find me a doctor! If you can't find one, you'll be executed."

Damn it, damn it, those cunning people from the Central Plains.

After running for a while, Jiang Sheng disappeared from the spot in a flash. After entering the space, he sat down on the ground and let out a long breath.

"Huhu, luckily there's space here, otherwise I'd just have to wait to be captured, and my entire plan would be disrupted..."

The Huns looked around but didn't see anyone, so they closed their eyes and sensed the breathing sounds around them.

No, still no!

Unable to suppress his anger, he punched the tree. With a bang, the tree, as thick as his thigh, fell down.

Seeing this, the other Xiongnu people communicated in Xiongnu language: "My lord, we should not stay here for long. If we run into the patrolmen of Dagan, we will not be able to return."

"As for that doctor...it's really strange. Where could he have hidden in such a short time?"

"For now, the best plan is to inform the prince as soon as possible. Even if it means peace talks, ask him to bring the doctor back to the Xiongnu, no matter what secrets he may have."

"Now that he's on our territory, we're not afraid that he won't confess."

Ge La clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Retreat! If it happens again, just knock them out and take them away. You can't treat these cunning Central Plains people with courtesy."

The group came quietly and left quietly.

Jiang Sheng waited until it was dark, and only when he saw that everyone had left did he sneak out under the cover of night. Hearing the howling of wolves in the woods, he felt a chill on his back.

He ran quickly out of the forest and followed the official road to the military camp.

There was the sound of horse hooves ahead, and a shouting voice came: "Who is here?"

Hey, that voice sounds familiar.

Jiang Sheng raised his head and called out tentatively, "Second General, is that you?"

The man on horseback paused and tilted his head: "Doctor Mo, why are you back so late? It's so dangerous at night. Why don't you come back during the day?"

As he said this, he dismounted and walked over, looking the man up and down. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

"Don't be so reckless next time. You're so weak, why don't you take your guards with you? It's too dangerous to go alone."

Jiang Sheng touched his nose and felt a little scared.

"Well, I'll pay attention next time. By the way, Second General, do you know what's behind the woods over there? Is it close to the Xiongnu?"

Jiang Ziang asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this? Don't worry, the Huns can't get up here. There are always people patrolling here, so there's no danger."

“……!”

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end said nothing. Some things cannot be explained clearly, which makes people more likely to suspect what treasures he has on him.

It is abnormal to think about how an ordinary person could escape unscathed from the siege of the Huns. It would be a good thing for him not to say anything.

"Okay, I see. I was just asking casually. Second General, let's go back to the barracks."

Half a month passed quickly.

Within half a month, tens of thousands of people in the Hun army camp died of the plague, and the number was still increasing. In the end, they could not continue.

The letter of peace was delivered to the palace, and Emperor Gan nodded with satisfaction.

The peace talks were handed over to Jiang Ling and Huo Ying'an. Yes, Huo Ying'an was also among them. The emperor tried every possible way to let him share the credit.

After the Southern Xinjiang Camp received the imperial edict.

The Jiang family father and son exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "That person... is truly shameless. The Huo family army came to Southern Xinjiang and didn't fight a single battle, yet they still get to share the credit."

Once the Huo family also goes to negotiate, outsiders will have no idea of ​​the twists and turns involved, and by then the Huo family will not get the biggest share.

If they can get some credit, it will be enough for them to gain a foothold in southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Ling burned the paper calmly, looked at the burning flames, and chuckled softly: "Dad, this is a good thing for the General's Mansion, otherwise how can we evacuate."

Of course Jiang Baichuan knew this, but he just couldn't get over it. The emperor was really not giving in at all and wanted to take everything.

"Having said that, I, as a father, feel very upset."

"Your uncles died on the battlefield, never able to return home. How can you not feel aggrieved? It's not worth it."

Jiang Ling said softly, "There are gains and losses, but the most important thing is to preserve the future of the General's Mansion. After Dad returns to the capital, he must hand over the military power."

"If we can't find a good excuse, we might be demoted. It's better for us to take the initiative and choose a place to be demoted as soon as possible."

"Dad, where do you want to go?"

Jiang Baichuan took out the Dagan map and unfolded it, sliding his fingertips across it, and soon landed on an open space.

This area also occupies a considerable area in the Dagan territory.

He pointed with his fingertips and said, "The Northern Wasteland is barren and full of bandits. It's a bit chaotic, but that's precisely why the imperial court can't control it. Plus, it's a junction of several countries, so it's the best place to stay and grow stronger."

Jiang Ling glanced around and the corners of his mouth curved noticeably.

"Well, son and father agree. If we want to avoid that spy, we have to go farther away to break free from his control."

"But if we choose a wealthy place, he will definitely not agree. The best place is the Northern Wilderness. It will also give him a good excuse for the Jiang family to pacify the Northern Wilderness."

Jiang Baichuan nodded: "Yes, of course we can't choose this place from the beginning, otherwise, with that person's suspicious nature, he will definitely suspect that we have some ulterior motives."

"So, we initially chose Youzhou. Since there are iron mines there, His Majesty will definitely not agree. Then we can settle for the next best option and reluctantly go to the Northern Wasteland."

"Dad is right."

The two of them finalized some details before Jiang Ling came out of the main tent. He looked up at the sky with a look of relief on his face.
