"The real Great Chanyu?"
Murong Xue's words sparked endless imagination in Jiang Ming...
"Um!"
Murong Xue said, "In the legends of the Xiongnu, their ancestor's mother was a wolf who gave birth to them, so... the blue wolf is the ancestor of the Xiongnu!"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Jiang Ming asked with a smile, "And what about you Xianbei? What animal was your ancestor?"
"We Xianbei are not like that at all!"
Murong Xue tilted her head, looking at Jiang Ming with a slightly resentful gaze, and said, "We are the proper descendants of Xuanyuan! We are just like you humans, not born of wild beasts like wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards!"
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Ming, with his arm around Murong Xue, laughed heartily: "Now that I have this golden wolf, doesn't that make me the Great Khan of the grasslands?"
"That's how it is legally!"
Murong Xue said, "Only the one who possesses the Golden Wolf has the power to rally the various Xiongnu tribes, just like the old father in a large family has the authority to truly gather his children together! But you are not a Xiongnu... Husband, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, how did you obtain this Golden Wolf?"
"cough!"
Jiang Ming sighed deeply: "I raided the Xiongnu's main camp... not only did I capture several thousand horses, but I also obtained this thing. I knew its origin was not simple, but I never expected it to be so strange?"
"A surprise attack on the Xiongnu's main camp?"
Murong Xue's beautiful eyes widened in shock: "Husband? You...you raided the Xiongnu's main camp? How is that possible? How many men do you have?"
"Why not?"
Jiang Ming sneered, "If I hadn't launched a surprise attack on the Xiongnu's main camp and set fire to their homeland, do you think the Xiongnu would have given up the opportunity to annihilate your father's army, made peace, and stopped fighting?"
"this......?"
Murong Xue was so shocked that her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to say.
"You think you can launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu's main camp with just a few hundred men? This is unbelievable!"
"It is not the quantity of soldiers that matters, but their quality! It is not the quantity of generals that matters, but their courage!"
Jiang Ming pondered and said, "The art of war lies in surprise and speed! I marched a hundred miles overnight and wiped out their stronghold before the Xiongnu woke up... It's like a strong man, no matter how strong, if he's asleep... even a little maid can stab him to death!"
"Hiss~!"
Murong Xue stared at her husband in disbelief, her eyes trembling as she struggled to process this incredible fact.
"The Xiongnu's stronghold has been destroyed, and an entire family has died... Why aren't they withdrawing their troops? What are they waiting for?"
Jiang Ming chuckled and reached inside Murong Xue's clothes, groping around. He continued, "Besides the horses, there was a huge amount of gold and silver treasure. Before we left, I even set fire to their entire camp..."
"this......?"
Murong Xue's eyes widened from shock to fear, her lips trembling as she said, "Husband, you've committed a terrible disaster! You took the Xiongnu's golden wolf and looted their camp! The Xiongnu won't let this go! Their combined armies number in the hundreds of thousands, comparable to even the superpowers of the Central Plains... This... this..."
Don't worry!
Jiang Ming smiled and comforted him, "When we launched the surprise attack, we flew under the banner of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and on the way back, I deliberately took a long detour. The Xiongnu have tempers, and they might vent their anger on the people of the Zhongshan Kingdom..."
He paused and continued, "If I were your father, after withdrawing the troops, I would immediately regroup and come back to fight... Peace talks? What kind of peace talks are you talking about? You can fight whenever you want, and not fight whenever you don't want to?"
Despite Jiang Ming's constant attempts to comfort Murong Xue, she remained deeply anxious...
"My husband!"
Murong Xue gently pulled Jiang Ming's hand out of her collar, calmed herself down, and said, "Quickly notify someone, tell A Lie to send someone to find my father Khan to ask for reinforcements... My heart is pounding, my intuition tells me that the Xiongnu... may be coming to kill us soon!"
"No! I must write a letter to my father!"
Murong Xue stood up, went to the table, and began looking for toilet paper...
"I must explain the whole story clearly, so that... my father will take it seriously!"
"Very well! If your father Khan can 'expose' the Xiongnu's ass from behind..."
Just as Jiang Ming was speaking, he noticed a noise at the door.
He quickly opened the door and saw Qiaohong crouching at the door, eavesdropping...
"You brat!"
Jiang Ming grabbed her ear and dragged her into the house, making Qiao Hong wince in pain!
He thought it was his younger sister calling him for dinner, but he never expected it was Qiaohong eavesdropping!
It's true what they say, old habits die hard; he'll have the same bad habit no matter where he goes!
"Master! You've misunderstood me! Master, be gentle...it hurts!"
"explain!"
Jiang Ming glared at her angrily and asked, "Why were you eavesdropping? What did you hear?"
"I...I..."
Qiaohong looked aggrieved, her eyes instantly red from crying, and she stammered, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I had something to tell Master..."
"I'm asking you! What did you hear?" Jiang Ming asked angrily.
Qiaohong sobbed, "I heard it! You're telling me to ask the Xianbei Khan to send reinforcements, and you even said... the Xiongnu are coming to kill us soon! Waaah!"
