Upon hearing the masked men in black around the seat speak, Seventeenth Master looked up, then quickly lowered his head before they noticed.
This masked man in black…he felt like he’d seen him somewhere before; the masked man’s voice sounded very familiar. And why was he afraid of him looking at him? He was wearing a mask, yet he was lowering his head, as if trying to avoid him.
Just now, he recalled how this person was wearing a mask on foreign territory. Moreover, Fourth Master had mentioned that among these enemies were people very familiar with the Qing army.
If he was still doubtful and uncertain just now, the Seventeenth Prince was now absolutely certain that the man in black and masked was the one who knew their Qing army well!
With his head down, the Seventeenth Prince thought to himself: I just don't know where this masked man in black is from. If he is from the Qing Dynasty and is familiar with the Qing army's marching and fighting, then he is also a member of the army or someone related to the army.
If that's what he thinks... then their court has a traitor.
Thinking about this, the Seventeenth Master realized the complexity and difficulty of the matter, and a feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart. As a prisoner, he had no way of investigating the truth.
"Guards, take him away and lock him in the most secure dungeon!" Giroud ordered.
Seventeen was imprisoned.
After the Seventeenth Prince was imprisoned, the masked man in black said, "Reporting to the Great Khan, the Seventeenth Prince is not the most valued brother of the Qing Emperor. If it were Hongli who was captured this time, the Qing Emperor would be very grateful. His value is not as great as those soldiers imagine."
Upon hearing this, Jiru's joy subsided considerably. In front of the bearskin chair, the foreign Khan pondered for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "No matter which brother the Qing Emperor values most, as long as he is a prince of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Emperor cannot possibly stand idly by and not come to his aid."
That makes sense, but he felt that capturing the Seventeenth Prince wouldn't be very effective.
That's what the masked man in black was thinking, but seeing Giru's expression, he wisely shut his mouth.
Although he is now advising foreigners, he is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, so there are some things he cannot say.
At this moment, Jiru continued, "Regardless of whether the Seventeenth Prince is the emperor's favored brother or not, as long as he carries the title of a Qing Dynasty prince, he will always be of some use. Don't forget that our General Abahai is still in their hands!"
At this point, Giroud and the man in the bearskin chair both looked grave; this was a huge blow to them.
Upon hearing Giru speak like this, the foreigner sitting in the bearskin chair suddenly said, "In that case, let's exchange this so-called Seventeenth Bird King for my brother."
"This..." The masked man in black hesitated.
The group discussed the matter and ultimately decided to exchange hostages.
After making the decision, Giroud and the masked man in black walked out of the royal tent. The masked man in black took off his mask, revealing his face.
With sharp features, if the Seventeenth Prince were here, he would recognize this person as Hongshi.
At this moment, Giroud spoke to the masked man in black: "Hongshi, how do you think we should use your seventeenth uncle? I just saw that you didn't agree with our approach."
Giru looked intently at the masked man in black, who was Hiroshi, waiting for him to continue.
