"Rest assured, Chanyu, I will certainly not let you down!"
Night gradually fell.
At this moment, Li Lin, who was in a daze, could not eat anything no matter how much everyone tried to persuade him.
When news came from the rear that more than 700 members of the Li family had been exterminated by the First Emperor, even if he knew it was false, he still had to pretend.
Even if you add up all the farming households in the Li family of Weili, there aren't more than 700 people.
It's obvious from this that the First Emperor exaggerated the number of people.
"Lord Li, please eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day and night since you learned this news last night!"
"Sigh, these dishes don't suit my taste!"
Li Lin looked sad, his stomach growling with hunger.
Looking at the braised beef, beef shank, roasted mutton, roasted lamb leg, roasted lamb skewers, and other hearty dishes laid out on the table.
There was also milk wine made with distilled water that he produced.
The aroma is enticing.
It's delicious.
This made him almost unsure how much longer he could hold on.
Why aren't they here yet?!
Was the Xiongnu Chanyu an idiot?
I haven't eaten for a whole day and night, and I'm just waiting for someone to come and persuade me to surrender reasonably. Why haven't his people arrived yet?
"Cala!"
The tent was opened.
"Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Li!"
"High Priest? What brings you here? And stop calling me Prime Minister Li! I'm just a traitor to the Great Qin, a wandering ghost!"
"Oh dear, Li Lin, you can't think like that! The Qin emperor treated you like that, so why should you continue to serve him? Didn't you say you wanted to join our Xiongnu? This priest has brought you some good news today!"
"Oh? What news?"
"The Chanyu has a younger sister named Shuoxue, who is extremely beautiful. She is currently sixteen years old, in the prime of her life..."
"High Priest, do you mean the Chanyu wants to marry his sister to me?"
Li Lin looked bewildered.
He could hardly believe his ears.
These days...
Why is it that wherever he goes, people either want to marry their daughters to him or their sisters to him?
"Indeed, Brother Li is a wise man. This is exactly what the Chanyu intends. What is your opinion, Brother Li?"
"This... I wonder if I could meet Miss Shuoxue? If I am satisfied, would you agree?"
Li Lin immediately curled his lip; he certainly wouldn't eat anything that was ugly or deformed.
If I'm going to marry, I'll marry a beautiful one.
"Brother Li, you've really given me a tough challenge. Alright, I'll give it a try, but whether it works or not depends on whether the girl is willing!"
"Yes, that's good. Thank you, High Priest!"
"It's alright, it's alright. After you join our Xiongnu, you'll have to rely on me for guidance!"
"Of course!"
Li Lin exchanged pleasantries with him and saw him out of the camp. He immediately stopped acting, picked up a leg of lamb, and started gnawing on it.
That speed was exactly the same as that of a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.
The Xiongnu people serving him were all stunned.
