When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
The Second Prince Huyan hated the First Prince Huyan who had used provocation to force him to go to the front line.
But compared to the eldest prince, the person he hated more was Qiu Linnanxing, who appeared to have brought people to rescue him but actually secretly sent assassins to kill him.
During the time he was imprisoned in Dayong, he thought a lot and gradually figured out that the dispute between him and the eldest prince might have been instigated by someone.
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.
If he and his eldest brother are not capable of the task, and the remaining brothers are not yet fully grown, given his father's love for Qiulin Nanxing, Qiulin Nanxing may have a chance to compete with his brothers.
Thinking about it this way, Qiulin Nanxing has been trying to please his father over the years, making friends with various tribes, and managing several "merchant caravans" from the northern barbarians that secretly travel to Dayong. I don't know how much manpower and wealth he has accumulated in private.
All these actions make people feel more and more suspicious.
Only Qiulin Nanxing was seen on the chariot, but not the Chanyu, and the Second Prince Huyan became panicked.
A look of fear flashed across his eyes.
He raised his broken arm again, waved it and shouted at the people below, "Qiu Linnanxing, you deliberately left this prince in Dayong and brought a fake back. How dare you show up here?"
"Where is my father?"
"Qiu Linnanxing, did you deliberately prevent my father from meeting this prince?"
"Everyone, don't be fooled by Qiu Linnanxing..."
The Second Prince Huyan shouted until he was hoarse, and at the end, he couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart.
He is scared.
He was afraid that Qiu Linnanxing had won his father's trust, and he was even more afraid that Qiu Linnanxing would confuse right and wrong and make his father not recognize him as the "real" second prince who was left behind in Dayong.
Compared to the deep-minded "Young Master Nanxing" who plans ten steps ahead, the Second Prince Huyan is really not someone who can keep secrets.
Emotions are written on the face and can be seen at a glance.
Qi Xu took a glance and guessed what he was afraid of.
I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.
The second prince is still worried that the Northern Barbarian Chanyu will listen to Qiulin Nanxing's words and not care about his life or death. Little does he know...
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu, who was omnipotent in his eyes, might not be able to protect himself now!
…
The Northern Barbarian Army arrived outside Lingmen Pass last night and camped less than thirty miles away from the pass.
This place belonged to the territory of the Huyan tribe. After the Chanyu settled down, he called his subordinate Yougudu Hou and ordered him to interrogate Qiulin Nanxing's men. Then he went to another heavily guarded tent nearby to meet Qiulin Nanxing.
No one knew what the Chanyu said to Qiulin Nanxing in the tent.
All we know is that after the Chanyu came out, the heavy troops guarding outside the tent dispersed, and Qiulin Nanxing once again became the "Prince Nanxing" who was highly valued by the Chanyu.
At nightfall, five chariots, one large and four small, were sent to where the army was.
The Chanyu summoned his generals and leaders of the various tribes to discuss plans for the next day.
On the surface, they seemed to have accepted King You of Dayong's request to exchange hostages.
But in fact, whether to change people or not is not that important.
Prince Youguli was still on his way. The road was bumpy and he had to travel day and night. It was obvious that Princess Changning, who was already bedridden, would be in great danger on this trip.
The Chanyu didn't mind returning Princess Changning to Dayong, but even if he returned a woman who had once belonged to him, he would only get a corpse!
As for the second prince who was captured by Dayong...
Without a hand, he would never be able to inherit his position in the future. In this life, he could only be an idle prince, just like Prince Mo who only knew how to seek pleasure. Coincidentally, the uncle and nephew had the same character "Mo" in their names.
The Chanyu had no shortage of sons, and he was never a loving father. He led his troops here not only to rescue the second prince, but more for the sake of face.
As the overlord of the Northern Barbarians, he certainly cannot be threatened by a tiny King You of Dayong!
He wanted to let King You know the consequences of threatening him.
He also wants to let everyone know that he is still the brave and invincible god of war he used to be. If he leads the troops personally, he will be able to wash away the shame of the Northern Barbarian Army being defeated by the Northern Army a month ago!
As for the "Second Prince" who was the instigator of this war.
Of course it would be best if the body could be rescued, but if not, the body must be brought back and not left in Dayong's hands, allowing the people of Dayong to continue to use it as a threat.
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu had calculated everything very well, but he did not expect that Qiulin Nanxing was so courageous.
Dare to attack him.
Time went back more than an hour ago.
The thick darkness began to dissipate, and dawn would soon arrive.
The army was about to set out.
Prince Youguli, who was going to the Helian tribe to fetch Princess Changning, was still on his way. He sent one of his personal guards to come at full speed to report that some accidents had occurred on the way and that he would arrive in more than half an hour.
The guard looked panic-stricken. Under the Chanyu's scrutiny, he said apprehensively, "Princess Changning is weak and fainted halfway through the journey. She hasn't woken up yet. Her breath is already very weak..."
Although the words were spoken implicitly, almost everyone who heard them understood.
Princess Changning is about to die!
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu sneered, not caring at all about this poor woman who had once given birth to his children. He waved his hand and said, "No need to wait any longer, set off immediately!"
It will take some time to walk from here to Lingmen Pass.
King Youguli and his men have few men but fast horses, so they can catch up halfway.
The Chanyu had a great idea, but when he climbed onto the horse, his body swayed. If it weren't for his excellent riding skills and the fact that the horse had been riding with him for many years and lowered its body tacitly, he would have almost fallen off the saddle.
The previous poisoning and coma had already made people doubt whether the Shanyu’s health was no longer as good as before.
Today, many tribal leaders have followed him. If he falls off his horse in front of these people, I am afraid that the power of the Huyan tribe and himself will be much less than before.
The Chanyu could not show his weakness in front of everyone, so he could only endure the dizziness and not reveal any flaws.
Before leaving, he ordered the witch doctor accompanying the army to give him two injections to keep him awake.
However, this clarity only lasted for half an hour.
Halfway through the journey, the towering outline of the border wall, which was built by tens of thousands of Dayong laborers over decades, seemed to come into view.
At this time, King Youguli's troops finally caught up.
The 20,000 cavalry continued to advance, while the Huyan troops stopped temporarily.
King Youguli got off the carriage, stepped forward to apologize for delaying his journey.
The Chanyu waved his hand and was about to order him to hand over Princess Changning and go down to answer for his crime when he felt an uncontrollable dizziness come over him. His body swayed and he fell sideways from his horse.
Less than half a month has passed since I woke up from my last coma.
In full view of everyone, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu fell into coma again!
