Qiu Linnanxing didn't know what had happened in such a short period of time.
But he keenly felt that the situation was not in his favor.
"Since King You has kept his promise and sent the second prince back, we will not pursue the matter of the severed hand."
The plan changed, and Qiu Linnanxing felt inexplicably uneasy.
Since he couldn't kill Qi Xu at the moment, he wanted to return to the Northern Barbarian Army as soon as possible to find out what had happened.
But just as he finished speaking, the second prince Huyan, who had returned to his side and was supported by a northern barbarian warrior, shouted in a hoarse voice: "Qiulin Nanxing, what qualifications do you have to make such a decision for my father?"
Qiulin Nanxing winked at the soldier who was supporting the Second Prince Huyan.
The soldier immediately tightened his grip and "persuaded" the second prince to stop talking.
The Second Prince Huyan was furious, but there was nothing he could do for the time being.
Without a hand and having been imprisoned for such a long time, he was unable to break free from the grip of the soldier beside him with his current abilities.
He could only shut his mouth and stare at Qiu Linnanxing with hatred. His blazing gaze seemed to want to stare a hole through him.
"King You agreed to exchange hostages today. Now that the matter is settled, I will take the second prince back."
Qiu Linnanxing bowed slightly and turned to lead his people away.
Qi Xu spoke at this time, his voice calm and composed, with a hint of unquestionableness.
"Wait."
"I have sent Prince Huyan back safely as promised, but I have not yet checked on Changning's condition." Qi Xu then instructed the doctor who followed him out of the closed door, "Go and take the princess' pulse."
Qiu Linnanxing frowned slightly. Although he had not seen with his own eyes the current appearance of the people in the carriage, he had heard that Princess Dayong had suffered a lot along the way.
but……
King You cut off one of the hands of the second prince Huyan. Could it be that he still wants to hold on to the issue of Princess Changning's illness?
Could it be that he is really not afraid of a war between the two countries and that he will not be able to explain to the Yong court?
Considering the unexpected events in the Northern Barbarian Army in the rear, Qiulin Nanxing did not want to stay at Lingmen Pass for too long.
But he could not stop King You from ordering someone to take Princess Changning's pulse.
I had to suppress my anxiety and stay where I was.
The doctor who came with King You seemed to be a slow-tempered person. He responded "yes" slowly and then slowly got into the carriage with the help of the guards.
Qiu Linnanxing frowned in annoyance.
But his eyes were fixed on Qi Xu, who remained calm, as if everything was under his control.
I couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
Looking at Qi Xu, he couldn't help but think of the legendary Emperor Yong. He was a truly legendary figure who had fought for half his life and defeated the Northern Barbarians and Western Liang successively, forcing these two powerful countries to not dare to invade the border of Yong at all while he was alive.
Even the northern barbarians, who had always viewed the people of Dayong as weaklings, had to admit that the late Emperor of Dayong was a warrior.
A warrior who is no weaker than their Chanyu.
The current Qi Xu looks like the legendary Emperor Yong...
The late emperor was the only husband that my grandmother had in public in her life, while his grandfather was just a hidden existence.
Qiu Linnanxing's hand hanging by his side suddenly tightened, and his fingertips poked his palm. The slight pain made him put aside all these distracting thoughts and stay calm.
So what if his grandfather, who was once a hostage, is not in the public eye?
Wasn’t my grandmother’s only biological child born to my grandfather?
It is ridiculous that the late Emperor of Dayong did not know until his death that he was cuckolded.
“Your Highness!”
A cry of surprise came from the doctor in the carriage.
Then he anxiously stuck his head out to report, "The princess is unconscious and her pulse is very weak. According to my thirty years of medical experience, with this kind of pulse, even with the best medicine, it will be difficult for her to survive for more than three days..."
The doctor finished speaking with gritted teeth.
With every word he said, Qi Xu's expression became more gloomy.
The Dayong soldiers beside him all had solemn expressions and were on alert.
Qiu Linnanxing thought to himself that something was wrong.
Dayong's actions clearly show that they do not want to end things peacefully!
But the Northern Barbarian Army behind him has not reacted yet!
The hands hanging by his side clenched tighter and tighter. Qiulin Nanxing looked back at the Northern Barbarian camp. Yougu Duhou, who was originally standing on the chariot, had disappeared without a trace.
Also nowhere to be seen were the leader of the Tuoba tribe and several other warlike tribal leaders who were originally in the front row and volunteered to lead the troops to kill the enemy.
What on earth are these people doing?
He actually failed at such a critical moment!
…
It's not clear from below the city gate.
It is clearly visible on the city wall.
The Yougudu Hou, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, and other people who really had a say in the Northern Barbarian army, all took advantage of the chariots and cavalry to reach a relatively safe position in the rear.
In addition to the two people who had come to report the news, there were two more people who were more seriously injured.
He also just arrived from the north.
Bringing clearer and more credible news.
These two were close confidants who served the Chanyu closely.
Knowing that a battle on the front line was imminent, in order to prevent Yougudu Hou and the tribal leaders from believing the murderer who plotted to assassinate the Chanyu, he endured the pain, gritted his teeth and rushed over.
The two men were in tears and described with hatred the scene that had just happened in the makeshift camp.
It turned out that after King Youguli escorted the Chanyu back to the camp and settled him down, he began to ask the Chanyu's close confidants about Qiulin Nanxing's movements in the past few days.
He also explained his suspicions and how he was poisoned by Qiu Linnanxing when he went to the Helian tribe to pick someone up.
