The darkness of night is like a layer of black fog, making it impossible for people to see clearly or figure it out.
Lin Yinqin also couldn't figure out why the Han people finally decided to release him back together with his tribe. This matter was really unbelievable to him.
"...Brother, you say..." Lin Yinqin threw a small piece of wood on the guard side into the bonfire, and then said, "...What do the Han people mean by doing this? Do they really want to...paint that?
what?"
"Drawing something?" Alan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Lin Yinqin was talking about. "That's not painting something. According to the words of the Han people, it's called turning conflicts into jade silk, which means putting down swords and guns and truce...
…”
"Oh..." Lin Yinqin nodded as if he understood.
Anyway, that’s what it means.
Compared with the battlefield force, Linyinqin is stronger than Alanyi, but when it comes to writing, Alanyi is stronger.
Do you want peace talks? It shows some sincerity, so logically speaking, there is no big problem if they are released by the Han people. So when the Han people expressed their intention to release them, although Linyinqin and Alanyi also had some doubts in their hearts,
But I don't know what the problem is.
Lin Yinqin was silent for a while and asked: "...the Han people...seem to have some advantages, why do they need to cease the war? Don't they want Yinshan anymore?"
Alan Yi was not sure about this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "...Didn't I hear that the Han people are also at war with each other before... It is said that their capitals, just like our royal court, are now being fought over...
...Perhaps this is also an attempt to compete for the royal court of the Han people, and the side of Yinshan... may be a little less important... Of course, it may also be other things, such as no food and grass, or some other problem we don't know about.
…”
Lin Yinqin nodded and used branches to make the bonfire a little brighter.
These are naturally all guesses, and neither of them knows what they should be.
"...However, being able to come back," Lin Yinqin said with a somewhat solemn expression, "is finally a good thing..."
"A good thing?" Alan Yi repeated softly, then shook her head and showed a wry smile, "...I thought it was good before, but now...it may not be so..."
Lin Yinqin stopped playing with his hands, turned around and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this..."
Alan Yi stretched out his hand and pointed outward, and said: "...It has been quite some time since I met the patrolling scouts, but I still haven't received any reply... Teams of scouts have sent out quite a few...
...And then there may be a lot of eyes around us... When we come back, now that I think about it, it may not be a good thing..."
Although Alanyi didn't say it very clearly, Linyinqin also understood the meaning. He couldn't help but angrily threw the twig in his hand and said: "These Xianbei dogs! They still doubt us! That coward Nakrikhen from before
We haven't even come to settle the accounts with them for what we have done, so how can they still have the nerve to doubt us! If we really had any dealings with the Han people, how could we come back here? Don't they even understand this?"
"Understood? What do you want to understand? Settle accounts? What accounts should be settled?" Alan Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who are you and me? And who are the people over there? Besides, that matter about Kerry... is
Yes, it was he who abandoned us and refused to save us, otherwise we would not have been surrounded by the Han people, but...if Na Keli really denied it, do you think Tuoba Xiaowang believed that Na Keli was really more, or would he still believe it?
How many more of us?”
"..." Lin Yinqin gritted his teeth, but soon they softened like a punctured water bag and let out a long sigh.
After all, their clansmen, young and old, are still with the Xianbei Royal Court, which is equivalent to being hostages. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Linyinqin and Alanyi try their best not to go against the Xianbei people, so even if Nakli really did
Such an action that made the two of them resentful, to a certain extent, could only be a loss of silence and tolerance.
What can I do if I can’t bear it?
We can't send troops to kill the Krichen tribe. Maybe they will be suppressed by other Xianbei tribes before they get there...
"Didn't the Han people's letters also make it very clear?" Lin Yinqin also knew this, so he could only hide his true resentment towards Nakri in his heart. After a long time, he said dullly, "...and we still have
Being so far away from the camp is not to show that we have no agreement with the Han people and will not attack Xiao Wang's camp. We are just messengers... Is this wrong? "
The two of them had discussed it before when they were on their way back. They were worried that Tuoba Xiaowang would have any misunderstandings, so they set up camp far away from the Xianbei camp to show their innocence.
, as a sign of no hostility.
But now it seems that Tuoba Guoluo may not think so.
"It is precisely because we did not rush directly to the camp that we are still here..." Alanyi said, "If we had just gone directly to the camp, I am afraid that what would greet us now would be ropes instead of swords and guns.
…”
"...Brother, let me say..." Lin Yinqin's voice was a little dry, "...if, I say, if, if something like that happens... what should we do..."
Alan Yi looked at the flickering bonfire and was silent for a long time before saying: "...I have also thought about it. Normally, it shouldn't be like this... After all, there are not many of us.
Just send some people to keep us under guard... Once the fight or peace with the Han people is determined, we will have nothing to worry about..."
Lin Yinqin nodded slowly, but after pausing for a while, his voice became deeper and deeper: "...I'm not saying something depressing, I'm saying...if it really happens...will we...should..."
Alanyi turned his gaze to the night sky and looked at the stars in the sky. The dark night shrouded the surrounding areas. After a while, he replied in a low voice: "...I don't know...Brother, I don't know either...Maybe we
We shouldn't come back, maybe we shouldn't have done it before... maybe everything we did was wrong... wrong..."
…………………………
The night seemed to cover everything, including the human heart.
A dozen leaders gathered from around the camp and arrived at Tuoba Guoluo's big tent.
These dozen or so leaders not only include Tuoba Guoluo's immediate confidants, but also close tribesmen like Tuyuhun. Of course, some are leaders of other tribes, including the person involved, Nakrizhen...
At this time, everyone was thinking a lot.
In the past, people called Ma Xi, and the Hu people were relatively loose and had no so-called sense of confidentiality, so most people knew the news about the return of the Huns.
Some people couldn't help but look at Kriken, probably looking a little weird.
It was already approaching late at night. Normally, if it hadn't been for this news, everyone would have already taken a rest. At most, they would just explain some patrols and make arrangements for horse feeding at night. Everyone would relax and lie down on the straw mats to stretch.
After a hard day's work, all of our bodies had to get up and go to Tuoba Guoluo's tent.
Of course, even if they feel slightly unhappy, most people don't dare to complain.
When there is nothing to do, Xiao Wang has a good temper, and most of the time he just laughs and no one takes him seriously. However, it is a major military matter at the moment. Anyone who talks more is simply seeking death. Really
If Xiao Wang gets angry, marches to the throne, chops off his own head with a knife, and there is no place to cry.
Therefore, although everyone had suppressed their questions and thoughts, they all just looked at each other with their eyes, and no one took the initiative to speak.
But Kerizhen bent over, wishing to hide his figure in a shadowed corner of the tent. Now he no longer felt any guilt at all, only full of resentment remained.
Damn Huns, why the hell are they back?
How can I come back?
how come!
Na Keli gritted his teeth and the muscles on his cheeks were twitching. If the Huns exposed his behavior in front of the Han people...
People on the grassland all respect brave men. Even if they knew about it, no one would want to support the Huns and vent their anger or anything, but after all, it doesn’t sound good, and his reputation will be completely ruined.
Then wouldn’t it mean that I would no longer be able to look up and see people?
For a time, thousands of thoughts were swirling in Na Keli's mind...
When everyone gathered, Tuoba Guoluo still didn't speak immediately, but after a while, he slowly said: "The Huns are back, interesting... Then Krichen... Hey, where is Krichen?"
"
The leader sitting next to Kristen quickly moved back, revealing the figure of Kristen.
Kerry gritted his teeth, smiled stiffly, bowed his head and said, "Here, I'm here, my dear little king..."
"Well," Tuoba Guoluo glanced at Krichen, and then said unhurriedly, with a calm voice, as if nothing happened, "...I remember, you said before, you discovered the situation
No, when you rushed to the battlefield, the Han people had already surrounded the Huns... Then you led the troops to rescue several times, but were stopped by the Han people and failed to save them... Then you saw Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi
The big oxtail banner also fell down... Then you saw that there was really nothing you could do... Then you had no choice but to withdraw... Well, that's right? Or... I remembered it wrong? "
Tuoba Guoluo repeated a few times and then came down. Although his tone was calm, it was night, and the temperature was low, but there was a thin layer of sweat on Krichen's forehead. Under the firelight inside the tent,
shining.
Several Xianbei people put their heads together and whispered:
"Looking at this guy's demeanor, he's probably not telling the truth..."
"What 80%? I guess it must be!"
"Damn it, I've already seen that this guy is a coward, but I didn't expect that he is also a guy who tells lies!"
"Why are you so polite? If I had asked someone to tie me up and give me a whip first..."
For a while, there was a constant buzz in the big tent. Some seemed to be joining in the fun, while others were gloating. Although their attitudes were different, everyone was staring at Kristen to see how he would answer.
"...this...this...respected little king, I..." Na Keli lowered his head and said, "...what I said is all the truth. I dare not deceive the little king..."
"Oh?" Tuoba Guoluo said with a half-smile, "That's a little strange... Not only did the Huns not die under the siege of the Han people, but they also came back... You know, the ox-tailed banner fell down.
...Tsk tsk... Do you think it's because these Huns are lucky, or that the Han people's hands are too soft... Then tell me, what do you think it is?"
"This..." Nakli was speechless for a moment.
Everyone knows that every tribe on the grassland has an ox-tail banner that represents its own tribe, and this ox-tail banner is just like the Han people's handsome flag. It is the core of the entire army. Once it falls, it will
It means defeat, or the whole army is annihilated...
But now, what Krikhen saw was that the Huns' ox-tailed banner had arrived, and in the blink of an eye the Huns were back. This thing was quite interesting.
The sweat on Kerry's forehead was flowing down his cheeks. He didn't dare to reach out to apply it, as he felt like millions of ants were crawling on his face...
People are like this. When they tell a lie, they often blurt it out, but in order to make up for the lie, they have to spend more actions and words.
Everyone hates making mistakes and showing their mistakes in front of other people, and Krichen is no exception. In order to maintain his image in front of the Xianbei leaders, he gritted his teeth and said bravely: "
...Reporting to the respected Xiao Wang, this...I don't know...When I arrived with my tribe, the Huns were indeed at war with the Han people...and those Huns could no longer hold on...
I did see that they could not be rescued, so I brought my tribe back... These are all true. If Xiao Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask my tribe!"
Kriken spoke slowly at first. There was still some lag at the beginning, but later it became smoother and smoother. In the end, he even patted his chest and made a clacking sound, and his tone gradually became more affirmative, but then
Kristen is still hiding some things...
Because what Nakrikhen said was true to a certain extent, Nakrikhen spoke in a very categorical manner, which made Tuoba Guoluo hesitate a little about his previous conclusion.
Maybe there are some hidden secrets that Kri really doesn't know about?
Tuoba Guoluo stared at Krichen for a while, noncommittal, neither nodding nor shaking his head. Instead, he lowered his head and read the letter on his hand...
Do the Han want to negotiate peace?
A delaying tactic?
Or do you have other plans?
What does Han people mean and what do they want to do?
