It was precisely because of this decision that many of the tribal leaders who were originally loyal to Chanyu Kedun had no objections to his succession.
As soon as they got close, they heard a conversation.
In the tent, two burly and bearded Huns sat facing each other and ate roasted meat.
They were mumbling something.
South Wind leaned over with Song Jingchen, but he didn’t understand a word. He turned to look at his master, only to see him frowning.
He guessed that Song Jingchen understood.
South Wind rubbed his nose and obediently went to help keep watch.
“Is that son of a b*tch still looking for the little prince?” asked one of the burly men with a scar at the corner of his eye.
When the other person heard this, he slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the table. “I wonder where that dog heard that the little prince is still alive.”
“Damn it, so what if he’s found? Can he snatch the throne back from us?”
“No matter what, we have to kill the little prince before he finds us.” As the burly man with the scar spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
“Heh, don’t worry. I just received news that our people have already found traces of that brat. We won’t let the two of them have a chance to meet.”
Speaking of this, he was a little angry. He poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and sneered. “This brat can really run. Since he ran to Great Xia, if not for Mungido Chanyu’s reminder, he would have run away.”
“I’m afraid Zodar would never have thought of that, right? Hahaha…”
There was a moment of silence.
Immediately after, the two of them clinked their bowls and started to curse.
When Song Jingchen heard what he wanted to hear, he waved at South Wind. The two of them retreated from the Hun army’s camp without alerting anyone.
“Master?” South Wind was really curious about what was going on inside.
“When will our people arrive?” Song Jingchen asked.
South Wind said, “About five o’clock.”
Song Jingchen frowned. He had wasted enough time here and didn’t know about Shangguan Han’s current situation.
Moreover, the heavy rain tonight would help him avoid the sentries of the Huns and sneak into Xunyang City.
After some thought, he instructed South Wind, “I’ll enter Xunyang City tonight. Stay outside and wait for One Dot and the others. After meeting up with them, you guys can go…”
After hearing the instructions, South Wind blurted out, “I’ll enter the city on your behalf, Master.”
It was obvious that his master’s task was more dangerous. How could he let his master take the risk while his subordinates hid behind?
“What can you do inside?” Song Jingchen dismissed his idea.
South Wind looked dejected. “That’s right. What can I do? My brain isn’t as good as Master’s. I’ll just be trapped in Xunyang.” he thought.
He stopped talking. His master was too powerful. The Mahjong Brothers could only fight.
“You must find them before the Huns do.” After Song Jingchen instructed them, he got on his horse and disappeared into the rainy night.
Because of the rain, other than the faint specks of light that could be seen from the Hun army’s camp, there was nothing else.
South Wind glanced at him and turned his horse in the opposite direction from where Song Jingchen had left.
Where he had agreed to meet One Dot.
To his surprise, not long after he arrived, a dozen men in straw raincoats walked out of the forest. Who else could it be but One Dot?
Seeing that South Wind was alone, Yi Tong was stunned for a moment. “Why are you alone? Where’s Master?”
“Master asked me to wait for you here. He entered the city alone.” South Wind was also very annoyed.
If he had known that these people would arrive so early, he would not have let his master enter the city alone.
One Dot felt that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “What happened? Didn’t you say that you would wait for us?”
As soon as he received the letter, he rushed over with his men. In order to save time, they even took a shortcut.
South Wind explained the mission. Song Jingchen had arranged for them to infiltrate the Hun army’s camp.
When he saw that One Dot’s expression was off, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I received a messenger pigeon from Xiagou Village. Young Madam brought Furball out to look for Master not long after you set off.”
South Wind had not mentioned Shen Yijia just now, so One Dot knew that Young Madam had not caught up with them.
It had been so many days, and Rooster was an unreliable person. If anything happened to Young Madam, One Dot couldn’t imagine how angry Song Jingchen would be.
South Wind’s heart skipped a beat. Clearly, he had thought of the same thing as One Dot.
“Then what should we do now? Master didn’t tell me where he was going to enter the city. We won’t be able to catch up even if we want to.”
One Dot frowned and pondered. “We’ll split up. Thirty Thousand and I will bring a portion of our people to look for the little prince. You take some people to look for the young madam.”
Since his master was not around, he could only make such arrangements.
After they agreed, they split up and left.
On the other side, Song Jingchen avoided the sentries and came to the edge of the moat. Because of the rain, the water level of the moat had risen a lot.
There was a tributary of the moat that flowed into Xunyang City. He remembered a flood in Xunyang when he was young. It was because the water level of this tributary had risen after prolonged rainfall that there was insufficient drainage.
Back then, Xunyang was not as sparsely populated as it was now. That flood had even taken away more than half of the lives in the city, causing a huge commotion in the imperial court.
Seeing that his grandfather was worried about this matter every day, he read many history books about water conservancy in the study alone.
In Great Xia, he was probably the one who knew the most about the repair plan of this tributary.
He calculated the rise in the water level and the direction of the tributary in his mind and plunged into the river.
The last man in black fell. Apart from Shen Yijia, Rooster and Mo Yuan were both slightly injured. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured.
They could not stay in the house anymore after it was burned down to the point that there was only a shelf left. The few of them changed to another house to stay in.
By the time they changed out of their wet clothes, Ah Xun had already reignited the fire and boiled hot water over it with a ceramic pot.
“Brother, drink some water.” He poured a bowl of hot water and carefully brought it to Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia was charmed and she reached out to take it, but Rooster beat her to it. “It’s so hot. Be careful. Let me carry it.”
As he spoke, he pushed Ah Xun away. As he was too fast, a few drops of water in the bowl splashed out and scalded his hand.
“Hey, look at me. Why are you so careless?” Rooster slapped the back of his head in frustration.
Ah Xun looked at him with dark eyes. He pursed his lips and turned around to pour Shen Yijia another glass of water.
Mo Yuan walked over expressionlessly and snatched the jar from his hand. “Let me do it.”
In the end, the jar fell to the ground.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
“Is it so hard to get some water?” she thought.
