Chapter 417: Estrangement 2

After this battle, almost all the 100,000 Xiongnu army was lost, leaving less than a few thousand troops.

After Li Ling ordered people to take Baha into the big tent, he ordered people to loosen his bonds. Baha knew that the situation was over, so he simply put on a fearless look and said sternly to Li Ling: "It's only because I, Baha, were careless for a moment.

I have fallen into your trap time and time again, I have to kill or behead you as you please."

Li Ling smiled faintly and replied: "If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago. Why wait until today?"

Li Ling had let him go twice, and Baha had always been very puzzled by Li Ling's actions. He looked at Li Ling and asked: "You are the most cunning person. Can you tell me clearly now why you are here?"

Let me go again and again."

Li Ling replied: "The first time I let you go, it was because I respected the eldest prince as a good man and could not bear to kill him. The second time I let you go, it was because I could not bear to have you harmed by villains."

After hearing this, Baha frowned into a big knot. His attack on Li Ling's granary was just a temporary impulse, but he never expected that Li Ling would be so knowledgeable about things. Baha had always been thinking about this matter.

Painting Hun'er, when he heard what Li Ling said now, he asked anxiously: "But there is a traitor around me who is informing me? Now, please ask Li Shuai to tell me the details clearly, so that even if I die, I will still be a sensible person."

Li Ling smiled faintly again and replied: "The informant is naturally the one who is most looking forward to your death. Although I, Li Ling, hate such insidious people most in my life, since he helped me, I can't betray him.

"

He looked at Baha and continued: "You are now dead. In order to ease the conflict between Daqi and the Huns, I may not kill you, the prince, but you must promise not to offend Daqi again in the future."

Baha would naturally agree, and Li Ling ordered people to send him out of the camp alive.

Baha left the Qi army camp this time, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. Li Ling's words had planted the seeds of hatred in his heart.

The people in the world who are looking forward to his death the most are none other than the old Chanyu's Yanshi Xubu and his half-brother Xieha.

Baha returned to the main camp, organized the remaining tribes, and returned to the Huns' camp overnight. When the remnant army marched a hundred miles away from the imperial city, Baha's confidants in the royal city came over and told him that the old Shanyu had listened.

Xubu's slander suspected that Baha was colluding with Daqi to seek the throne.

When Baha heard this, he was furious. He led the remaining troops to find the Yizhi tribe of his mother tribe that supported him. He led the army directly to attack the king's camp, claiming to kill Subu and Xieha.

The chaos in the grasslands that was originally unified by Lao Shan Yu Tong has turned into a situation where you fight against each other and kill each other. Naturally, there is no time to disturb Da Qi. So far, the northern border of Da Qi has finally achieved peace.

Li Ling defeated the Xiongnu and returned in triumph with his army.

The autumn air is crisp, and the ripe crops are golden. Outside the pavilion, a young man is leading Ma Hou on the road where the army must pass.

This person was none other than Zhou Jin, the eldest son of Zhongshun Houfu who was sent to northern Xinjiang for resisting the imperial edict.

The young man who came from a well-known family in the capital and wore bright clothes and angry horses had been blown into a vigorous young man by the cold wind and sand in northern Xinjiang. When Li Ling saw that it was Zhou Jin, he quickly got off his horse and the two of them walked into the pavilion. Zhou Jin said with a smile:

"The Xiongnu come here every now and then to fight against the autumn wind. The northern Xinjiang has been without peace for many years. With this battle, the north is finally at peace."

Zhou Jin is a very talented and ambitious man. Although he was sent to Northern Xinjiang, he has been diligent and progressive over the years and is now a second-class guard general in Northern Xinjiang.

Li Ling looked at Zhou Jin with mixed feelings in his heart, and replied: "After several years of separation, my cousin finally did not bury himself."

Zhou Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I just take things as they come."

He was silent for a while, and finally asked: "Is everything okay at home? Is everything okay at my cousin's house? Also, is my cousin okay now?"

Li Ling didn't know what Zhou Jin was thinking, so he replied truthfully: "Everything is fine in your house, and Jin Yan is fine too, but she is not married yet."

When Zhou Jin heard this, he had a complicated look on his face, and murmured hesitantly: "After all, I missed her."

Li Ling reached out and patted Zhou Jin's shoulder, and replied: "If you married someone other than a human being, you may not be as happy as Jin Yan is now. We all believe that one day you will return to Beijing."

The autumn sun is strong, and the golden sunshine shines on Zhou Jin's resolute face. The smile on his face is brighter than the autumn sun.

Ever since Li Xian was convicted and imprisoned, the government has been filled with gloom and gloom. After learning that Li Ling had returned victoriously from fighting against the Huns, the gloom that had shrouded the government finally came to light.

After Li Xian was convicted, the person who was most anxious was naturally Xu Wanning, but within two or three months, she had lost a lot of weight.

After learning about Li Ling's triumphant return, Jing Shu and Ping Yang went to Bitangju to rescue Xu Wanning. Li Ling was the backbone of the palace. Once he came back, Li Xian could at least have some hope.

Xu Wanning sent a few children out to play, and sighed to her two younger brothers and sisters: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The uncle committed the serious crime of slandering the prince. Such a punishment is considered to be light. I'm afraid even the second brother

Now that I'm back, I'm afraid there will be no room for change."

Naturally, Jingshu and Pingyang also knew the seriousness of this matter. Pingyang sighed and said: "It's a pity that the officials involved in the incident all voted for the King of Jin, but none of them can say a fair word for my elder brother."

Jing Shu said silently: "Thirty thousand innocent lives, it's a shame that these people's consciences are really all being fed to dogs."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning replied with a wry smile: "I was fond of martial arts in my boudoir. Although the uncle is a scholar, I was attracted by his integrity at the beginning. Alas! He can be so perseverant in the face of big rights and wrongs, which is considered a great achievement.

I saw him right."

Jingshu nodded and agreed: "Of all the civil servants, only my eldest brother can be called a clean figure. I don't believe that the emperor doesn't know what he is doing."

Speaking of which, Emperor Ming was the direct uncle of Pingyang. Although he did not grow up in Beijing, he would stay in the palace with him during the tribute year, so he still knew something about the emperor's uncle.

Pingyang replied without any hesitation: "Your Majesty is not a bad person, but he is confused about his love and cares about his shortcomings. Although he knows his elder brother's innocence in his heart, I am afraid that he is willing to be confused in order to protect King Jin."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "The emperor is stupid, hum! The King of Jin and the Crown Prince are not good birds. If they say a disrespectful word behind closed doors, I will see that the world of Daqi has no hope."

What Xu Wanning said was the truth. After hearing this, Pingyang said to Jingshu: "What my sister-in-law said is true. People like us really need to think about the future. Fortunately, the second brother is coming back. He has the final say in everything."

, after all, we can feel more at ease."

When Li Xian was questioned, it was impossible for the Zhenguo government to remain neutral between the prince and the king of Jin. It was time to make a choice.

Jingshu naturally understood what Pingyang meant, and she replied: "This matter not only depends on the husband's wishes, I'm afraid the mother's wishes are more important."
