"What? Your Majesty, you don't believe my identity?"
Li Lin smiled; he wasn't surprised by the others' astonishment at that moment.
after all.
If he were in that situation, he would probably do the same.
"Since you are the Prime Minister of Qin, why would the Emperor of Qin send you as an envoy to the Xiongnu? You should know that the Xiongnu is a very dangerous place. Forty years ago, when I was fighting against the Xiongnu with General Li Mu, I was surrounded and ended up in the Xiongnu. At that time, I was only sixteen years old."
"You're from Guanzhong, right?"
"Indeed, I am from Kuili in Guanzhong. Oh, speaking of which, you should also be from Kuili, right?"
"That's right, I am indeed from Weili. I didn't expect to meet a fellow townsman here!"
"Are you truly the Prime Minister of the Great Qin?"
"It's genuine, just not anymore."
"The Emperor of Qin is suspicious of you?"
"have no idea!"
Li Lin shook his head with a wry smile. Since King Honglie confirmed his identity, he had become quite polite to him.
The Huns also became more polite.
to be honest.
The Xiongnu people were different from the people of the Central Plains; they always respected the strong.
As long as you are capable, they will respect you.
For example, Li Ling of the Han Dynasty surrendered to the Xiongnu under duress. How did the Xiongnu treat him?
They directly appointed him as king.
Instead, Emperor Wu of Han, without giving anyone a chance to explain, directly exterminated Li Ling's entire family!
This is precisely why the Xiongnu, in their early stages and even after the end of the Qin Dynasty, kept the Han Dynasty struggling to breathe.
Nothing more.
It's simply about respecting talent.
"Since Prime Minister Li is on a mission to the Xiongnu this time, I must do my best to be a good host. By the way, my camp is a hundred li west of the Great Wall ahead. Would you be willing to accompany me, Prime Minister?"
"Of course I would. With Your Majesty's gracious hospitality, how could I possibly refuse?"
"My lord, my lord, once we cross the Great Wall, that's Xiongnu territory! What if we go there and..."
Meng Nan was somewhat afraid. He wasn't worried about any dangers going to the Xiongnu, but rather about not following the proper procedures. If someone with ulterior motives reported this to His Majesty, it would be bad if His Majesty became suspicious.
"What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up. Give the order to divide the delegation into two parts. One part will be led by Zhang Liang and you and go to Meng Tian's camp. The other part will follow me to the camp of this great king of the Xiongnu."
"Oh? Sir, you mustn't put yourself in such danger!"
"Hmph, just do as I say!"
Li Lin shook his head with a cold laugh. After assigning the personnel, he followed the middle-aged man to his military camp.
Three or four hours passed.
They ran for over a hundred miles.
The group finally arrived at the Xiongnu central army, weary from their journey.
"Brother Honglie, why are you so happy?"
"High Priest Tiyin, hurry, hurry, go and inform the Chanyu that a distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Oh? What distinguished guest?"
"An envoy from the Great Qin!"
"Hahaha, Brother Honglie, it's just a mere envoy from the Great Qin Dynasty. Look at you, why are you so excited? Making such a fuss!"
Ti Yin, dressed in a black robe and carrying a cane, looked disdainful.
He was an extremely prestigious high priest of the Xiongnu. It is said that the Xiongnu Chanyu Modu murdered his father at his instigation. Ugh!
How can that be called instigation?
That's called following the will of Heaven!
"High Priest, you may not know this, but he is no ordinary envoy from Qin; he is..."
“Hey, Brother Honglie, you’ve been here for over forty years and been the king for so long, why can’t you be a little more composed? Who is this person? Tell me, let me see for myself.”
"It's Li Lin, the Prime Minister of Qin!"
"What?"
The High Priest of Tiyin, who had been looking disdainful, suddenly widened his eyes. "What did you say?"
"It's Prime Minister Li Lin of the Great Qin Dynasty; he's personally sent as an envoy to us this time..."
"Li Lin? You mean the one who invented paper, the savior of our Xiongnu prophesied by the Eternal Heaven?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"Oh dear, you almost ruined something important! I'll go and report to Lord Chanyu right away. You mustn't neglect him. He's favored by our Great God of Eternal Heaven, the key figure who led us out of the Great Grassland and saved us!"
"Priest, please go and inform them immediately!"
"good!"
At that moment, Ti Yin dared not delay at all and hurriedly rushed into the camp.
Ignoring what the Chanyu Modu was doing inside, he shouted, "Great joy, Chanyu! Great joy! Prime Minister Li Lin of the Great Qin has arrived in our territory!"
"What?"
At this moment, Maodun, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the beauty beneath him and was drenched in sweat, suddenly raised his head and asked, "You mean the Prime Minister of Qin, Li Lin, has arrived?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"Is it Li Lin, the one who was prophesied by the Great God of Eternal Heaven to save us?"
"right!"
"Chanyu, you're hurting me..."
"Get out of my way!"
Maodun, who had just been calling the woman beside him "sweetie," suddenly lost his fighting spirit. Ignoring the beauty's charm, he kicked her away and hastily dressed himself.
He hurriedly followed behind Ti Yin and headed towards the camp where Li Lin was.
Li Lin at this moment.
They had no idea how popular he was among the Xiongnu.
Ever since the paper he manufactured was sold to the Xiongnu by Qin merchants, the Xiongnu nobles have been extremely fond of this paper, which is incredibly smooth and white on the surface.
