The angrier he got, the deeper the smile on Husile's face.
"What are you doubting?"
Husile asked casually.
He speaks Tianyu dialect more standardly than Northern Hu dialect.
No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a northern barbarian.
But the blood of the northern barbarians flows in his body.
"Dingkun."
These two words came out of his mouth.
Xiao Yuqi was directly fixed in the memory of the past.
"Sure enough...it's you!"
...
...
Tears welled up in Xiao Yuqi's bloodshot eyes.
He forced himself not to fall.
"Why you?"
Xiao Yuqi was puzzled.
He couldn't believe that the man who was now his prisoner was once his brother.
"Why, you?"
Xiao Yuqi fiercely loosened Husile's collar, and Husile's back hit the pile of firewood behind him heavily.
Some small branches pierced his back, but he remained silent and just smiled with gritted teeth.
"Does it hurt?"
Husile laughed heartily.
"You feel pain too, don't you?"
Xiao Yuqi looked at him in confusion.
"Hengzhi!"
He called out softly.
"Don't call me that. Do you know how disgusting it makes me feel every time you call me that?"
"Why? We were such good friends before!"
"Why do you think I want to be friends with you?"
Husile sneered.
"Xiao Yuqi, you were just an unpopular prince at that time. Everyone could step on you. Why do you think I wanted to be friends with you?"
He seemed to hate Xiao Yuqi so much that even his teeth were gritting when he said such words.
"Do you know how ridiculous my life has been?"
Husile laughed until tears came out.
"I always thought that my father was the loyal and brave marquis of Tianyu, a great hero. I listened to him and became a gentleman. I studied hard, learned knowledge, and practiced martial arts diligently, wanting to be a son that he would be proud of. I listened to him and became your friend, helping you to take the supreme position. But in the end, I realized that he had tried so hard to push me into your camp just because your mother was the one he had been longing for."
"My mother cries every day. No matter how well she does, in my father's eyes, she can never compare to the position your mother occupies in my heart."
"What's even more ridiculous is that when I risked my life for you and attacked the Northern Hu, I found out that my father was not my father, and my mother who loved me since I was a child was my aunt. And I am the son of the Khan of the Northern Hu. I attacked my own home for you. When I learned the truth, guess how much I wanted to kill my noble uncle? And how much did I want to kill you?"
"Every time I see you, every time I think of you, I think of my ridiculous first half of life. What's so pitiful about you? Obviously, I am the most pitiful one!"
In his life, only in the past few years on the grassland did he truly become himself.
In order to gain his uncle's approval, he pretended to be a perfect person without any flaws.
Later, he worked hard for this prince whom he thought was very pitiful, planning day and night, and pushing him to a high position step by step.
He teamed up with his uncle and drove his aunt, who loved him the most, crazy.
After living for more than 20 years, he realized that he had been living a lie all along.
So, he is so pitiful, what qualifications does he have to pity others?
"I'm just a joke, you know? A joke!"
He was hysterical and blurted out all the resentment that had been buried deep in his heart for many years.
Rather than seeking revenge, he was more like venting his feelings.
He was still kind to Xiao Yuqi.
He always couldn't bear to do anything to him.
In any case, the friendship between him and Xiao Yuqi was real and without any lies.
"Xiao Yuqi, you should be thankful that you have a good mother."
She was an extremely charming woman. Everyone admired her, but no one had ever truly gotten her.
"If I had known this day would come..."
If he had known this day would come, he should have listened to his father Khan four years ago and dragged all the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Liaoyuan Pass into hell.
If he hadn't been so kind, Xiao Yuqi might not be able to stand here and talk to him now.
"You won't, Hengzhi. No one knows you better than me."
Xiao Yuqi stroked Duan Hengzhi's shoulder, his eyes bloodshot, yet extremely sincere. ”
"Those are brothers who once fought alongside you. You will not push them into hell because of personal grudges."
"Don't talk like you know me well."
Duan Hengzhi turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.
Xiao Yuqi suddenly laughed.
"Yes, I don't know you. So, knowing that Bei Hu was doomed to fail, you wanted to come as an undercover agent, take the goddess away, and turn the tide. You could have arranged for someone else to do this with such a low chance of success, but you chose to come here in person."
"That's because I do!"
Duan Hengzhi retorted loudly.
He didn't choose to do it himself just because he couldn't bear to see innocent people die.
Absolutely not.
Xiao Yuqi let him go.
"Hengzhi, you are not cruel enough after all."
Four years ago, I wasn't cruel enough.
Now, it’s not enough.
"Yes, I am not like you, who can step on human blood and feel at ease to rise to power."
Xiao Yuqi was not angry, but looked for flaws on Duan Hengzhi's face.
"If I wasn't ruthless, I wouldn't be alive today."
Duan Hengzhi knew it clearly, but still used such words to provoke him.
It was just because he wanted to provoke him and exchange his life for the lives of all the people in Beihu.
Xiao Yuqi knew him too well.
To the extent that he could easily see through Duan Hengzhi's plan.
This was also the reason why Duan Hengzhi chose to pretend to die in battle at Liaoyuan Pass and return to Beihu four years ago.
If this incident happened under Xiao Yuqi's nose, he might not be able to return to Beihu smoothly.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Yes, it's none of your business. I'm stupid for not finding out about this earlier."
Duan Hengzhi glared at Xiao Yuqi.
Don't think that you will be soft-hearted just because he uses the tactic of retreating to advance?
Is it because Xiao Yuqi is stupid that we don't doubt him?
It was obvious that he didn't doubt it because he trusted him.
But he was destined to betray his trust.
"I'm going to rest. Please go away. I don't want to see you now."
Duan Hengzhi, who has taken off his gentlemanly appearance, looks like this.
Xiao Yuqi's mood rarely improved. He took a look at this simple woodshed and said to the person guarding the door, "Put him in the wing next to mine."
Duan Hengzhi's closed eyes opened a crack again.
Xiao Yuqi clearly saw it with his peripheral vision, but turned a deaf ear to it.
He then added: “Still cannot be untied.”
Duan Hengzhi: “…”
revenge!
He is purely seeking revenge!
