After a long silence, Lu Cijian said, "The Great Jin can send troops with you to deal with the Western Liang, but I hope that the conditions that Tuyuhun agreed to with the Great Jin will not change in any way, and both sides should still sign a peace treaty."
Hearing this, Amulun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course."
As they were talking, a respectful announcement came from outside the palace: "Khan, the Second Prince has arrived."
Amulun simply responded, glanced at the two people inside the room, and said, "Alright, you can leave now. It seems my son values you quite a bit."
Jiang Yimian and the other person bowed to Amulun before walking out of the palace.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace, Aguzan looked at the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they did not seem to be in any danger.
He had thought that Amulun had guessed their identities and deliberately set a trap for them, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
He nodded to the two men before entering the palace.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian did not linger in the palace and left directly.
Shortly after the two left the palace, news of Amuren's death spread throughout the entire palace.
Aguzan listened to the footsteps coming and going outside, staring at the lifeless person on the bed for a long time without saying a word.
He thought the man was unhappy about him killing Aliji, but to his surprise, the man didn't say anything. He just smiled at him and said, "You and your mother look so alike when you were young, especially your eyes. I miss her a little."
He didn't quite understand what that sentence meant, nor did he want to think about it seriously.
He didn't want to know what kind of mood Amulun was in when he said those words, because it wasn't worth it.
Lady Duan is dead. The one who loved Amulun wholeheartedly is dead.
A month later, the Tuyuhun people, who were still grieving the death of their former Khan, were gradually filled with joy because a new Khan had taken the throne.
This is the only Khan personally chosen by the ancestors, and the entire Tuyuhun people have high expectations for this new Khan.
In the days since Aguzan ascended the throne, he has swiftly purged Aliji's remaining followers and cleansed the entire civil and military bureaucracy, thus securing his position.
He was processing official documents at the moment, asking the person next to him, "How is it? Has the letter been delivered yet?"
Zhar simply nodded respectfully. "Khan, rest assured, the letter has already been sent out and should arrive soon."
It is estimated that it will not be long before Likunwu returns to the capital with his troops.
The letter has also been sent to Lord Lu and the Princess.
Aguzan then put down the official document in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
For the past month, although he has been busy dealing with the Tuyuhun matter, he has not relaxed his efforts to monitor and investigate the Xiliang region. He has been sending people to keep an eye on things and only recently received some news. He doesn't know if the two people have received the letter yet.
He originally planned to let Jiang Yimian and the other person stay in Tuyuhun for a few more days, but later felt that it was really inappropriate.
After all, he had too many things to do and didn't have many opportunities to show hospitality. In addition, they also had some things to take care of, so he couldn't insist that they stay.
I'm not sure now, whether there will be many more opportunities to meet in the future.
*
At this time, on the border of Tuyuhun.
Jiang Qingyuan, who had painstakingly regained his strength in the capital, has now lost weight again, but it is clear that he has become much stronger. Standing on the city wall in his armor, he unconsciously exudes a sense of menace.
He gazed at the Tuyuhun army stationed in the distance, a hint of sorrow unconsciously creeping onto his brow.
In the past few months, they have clashed with Tuyuhun from time to time, and the fierce battles between the two sides have hardly stopped.
If this city weren't so easily defended, the Tuyuhun people would have launched sneak attacks at any time like madmen, and the city gates would have been breached sooner or later.
Wei Jinghai, dressed in soft armor, walked up from the city wall. Seeing Jiang Qingyuan staring at the Tuyuhun army not far away without saying a word, he only sighed, "Qingyuan, go back and rest. The battle last night has just ended, and those Tuyuhun soldiers also need to rest."
Don't overwork yourself.
With constant small battles these past few days, they all knew that the Tuyuhun people were definitely brewing an even bigger storm.
But as they thought about it, they weren't mind readers of those Tuyuhun people, and they couldn't possibly know what those people were planning to do.
Keeping a close watch on those people day and night is a very mentally taxing task, especially with occasional skirmishes.
Jiang Qingyuan simply shook his head. "I'm not tired, General. You should go back and rest. It's dangerous up on the city wall."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jinghai could only feel helpless. His body had become increasingly fragile since arriving at the border. Just a year ago, he was a great general who could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but now he could only hide in the rear and be protected by others.
Fortunately, Qingyuan is now able to lead the Southern Guards to defend against the enemy; otherwise, the Great Jin Dynasty might really be doomed.
After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Xie Yu has been staying in the wounded camp for two months in a row. I heard that in the past few days, she and the doctors have been bandaging the wounded most of the time, and she hasn't had a rest for quite some time."
Are you really not going to try and persuade Xie Yu?
She was, after all, a descendant of the Great Jin Dynasty…
In short, given my noble status, how could I possibly sleep in the wounded and sick camp with those soldiers?
He never expected that Xie Yu would secretly follow him to the border. If he hadn't been discovered by the Jin soldiers searching the city, Xie Yu would probably be dead by now.
He was both angry and helpless about this. After all, Xie Yu was a child he had watched grow up, and he knew a bit about Xie Yu's feelings. He just didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn.
Jiang Qingyuan frowned slightly, his voice stern, "I told her long ago that this is not a place for her to play around."
No one has time to take care of her.
Wei Jinghai choked, and was about to say a few more words of persuasion when he heard a soldier not far away laughing and saying, "Miss Xie, are you here to see General Wei?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Jinghai froze on the spot, awkwardly touching his nose. His gaze fell on Jiang Qingyuan, but he saw that the other party's expression was normal, showing no embarrassment at being overheard talking badly about someone behind their back.
Looking at Xie Yu again, he was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes, his hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin, and he had lost all trace of his former nobility and arrogance.
Hearing this, he showed no expression, but simply handed over the two letters in his hand and calmly said, "Uncle Wei, these are letters from Deputy General Jiang."
Having said that, he didn't even glance at Jiang Qingyuan before heading straight to leave.
Suddenly, the soldier on the corner tower exclaimed with delight, "General Wei, Deputy General Jiang, look, the Tuyuhun army has retreated!"
