The Northern Barbarian Chanyu was a man of great strategy and bravery, but none of his sons could match his, as each had his own shortcomings.
The eldest prince, Hu Yanlin, had a powerful mother's family and made some achievements in government affairs, but he was overbearing and had mediocre talents. The second prince, Hu Yanmo, was strong and capable, but he was not good at government affairs and could not handle important tasks.
The remaining three or four princes have not yet received any proper jobs, but it can be seen that one of them is nepotistic and partial to villains, and the other is weak in character. They can be ministers, but they are absolutely incapable of being kings.
There were also a few children born to maids without any status, who were not even ten years old and did not need to be taken into consideration at all.
It can be said that if we have to choose a general from among the dwarfs, the only options are the eldest prince Huyan Lin and the second prince Huyan Mo.
The Second Prince Huyan was filled with rage.
He had already determined that the assassin who could shrink his bones was sent by his brother Huyan Lin!
As long as he was eliminated, no one would be able to compete with Hu Yanlin. When his father woke up, everything would be settled. The great responsibility in the future would definitely fall on Hu Yanlin.
"Are you sure that the killer was sent by Prince Huyan?" Wei Yunlan asked.
The second prince Huyan frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with the woman interrupting him. It can be seen that the King You in front of him did not speak to stop the woman beside him from asking questions, so he could only suppress the rebuke that he wanted to blurt out.
"Who else could it be if not Hu Yanlin?"
The second prince Huyan said angrily, "That group of damn villains instigated me to lead the troops to attack Dayong. It is very likely that Huyan Lin was behind this!"
The second prince Huyan identified his "enemy".
Wei Yunlan has a different opinion on this.
If all this was done by Prince Huyan, it would be too obvious.
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu was just ill, not dead. In her previous life, until the Northern Barbarian army invaded the capital and her wandering soul dispersed, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu was still alive. He was a powerful hero with strong skills and abilities, and she could never allow Prince Huyan to kill him so ruthlessly.
Unless Prince Huyan was certain that the Chanyu would die and that he would inherit the throne, otherwise...how could he dare to kill the second prince?
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.
It is not difficult to know who is the one who wants to kill the second prince Huyan.
Just look at who is the vested interest in the end, and who is the murderer!
"King You."
After scolding his brother, the Second Prince Huyan stared at Qi Xu with his eyes wide open, and said eagerly, "Send someone to send me back!"
"This king will confront Hu Yanlin face to face and expose his evil deeds!"
Not only Wei Yunlan and Qi Xu.
Even the few Tianshu Pavilion guards who were guarding the stone chamber couldn't help but look at the Second Prince Huyan as if he were a fool.
What is this person thinking?
A prisoner now, ordering those who are holding him around?
Look at what he can do!
"Master." Shadow Two, who was hiding in the dark, showed up.
He raised his hands and presented a long whip.
Prince Huyan II then realized his current situation belatedly. He was embarrassed for a moment, then spoke in a more polite tone, "Prince You, as long as you send me back and let me expose Huyan Lin's crimes, my father will punish him severely when he wakes up."
"You also know that in the entire Huyan tribe, he is the only one who has the strength to compete with me. As long as he is overthrown, I will become the crown prince."
"I promise that I can sign a truce with Dayong at that time. As long as I inherit the position of Chanyu, I will sign a new truce with Dayong for ten years!"
Qi Xu did not speak, his expression remained indifferent.
There was no sign of being persuaded at all.
Prince Huyan gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty years of truce. No, as long as you send me back, I promise you that as long as I am in power, I will not go to war with Dayong. This way, you should be satisfied, right?"
"In addition to his martial arts, the Second Prince also has a great skill in drawing cakes."
Keep saying “as long as” and “when the time comes”, what else could this be but empty promises?
Prince Huyan was speechless, his face was pale and blue, and he asked with his neck stiff, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do to agree to send someone to send me back to the Northern Barbarians?"
"How about gold, silver and treasures? I have two golden boxes hidden in my tent, which contain ten thousand taels of gold! If you ask someone to send me back, I can directly hand over the golden boxes to your people."
"You don't want the gold and silver, but do you want the beauties? The women in Dayong are delicate and weak, and it's not fun to play with them. I can give you ten, no, twenty beautiful and charming northern barbarian beauties!"
Second Prince Huyan threw out one condition after another.
Having said that, Wei Yunlan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qi Xu's reaction.
He was still as unmoved as before. Neither gold, silver, treasures nor stunning beauties could make his eyes light up.
Just then, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
The one who came was An Jiu, the "little boss" who was left behind by Tianshu Pavilion in the north and was in charge of the intelligence here.
He walked quickly to Qi Xu's side and whispered a few words into his ear with a serious expression.
Then, a hint of surprise flashed in Qi Xu's eyes.
He interrupted the Second Prince Huyan who was still talking incessantly and trying to convince himself.
"Take a break. Your conditions are meaningless here."
Prince Huyan II did not believe that he could resist both money and beauty, and was about to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Qi Xu.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
Prince Huyan didn't know what Qi Xu was up to, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's tell you the good news first."
"Okay." Qi Xu said, "The Northern Barbarian Chanyu has woken up."
"That's great!" Prince Huyan was overjoyed.
Compared with this great event, everything else is not worth mentioning. When his father wakes up and knows that he is trapped in Dayong, he will definitely send troops to rescue him! He doesn't have to work hard to convince the King You in front of him.
By then, it would be King You who would beg him not to let his father kill the North Pass of Dayong.
After hearing the good news, Second Prince Huyan couldn't think of any other bad news that could be compared to it.
His expression was much more relaxed, and he asked casually, "What's the bad news?"
No matter what it was, it couldn't offset the joy he felt knowing his father had woken up.
There was silence in the stone chamber for a moment.
Qi Xu looked deeply at the second prince Huyan and answered,
"The barbarian team that left the North Gate this morning has already fled all the way across the border and was picked up by the Northern Barbarian Army. By the way, the banner of their team was that they rescued the second prince Huyan from Dayong."
The words fell.
The Second Prince Huyan's eyes suddenly widened.
His face flushed with shock and anger.
If the one who was rescued was "Second Prince Huyan", then what about him who stayed here?
