...

Faced with Bagher's words, Cabeck had no other choice but to find someone to handle the problem.

In Chang'an today, there is only one person with enough intelligence and the ability to solve this problem.

Although their relationship wasn't particularly good before, it improved rapidly and progressed smoothly after they arrived in Chang'an.

"General Cabeck has actually taken the time to visit this old man today; it's quite a rare treat." Mahind looked at Cabeck and Bager as they stepped through the door and immediately began to ponder, feigning deep thought.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with what Mahinda said about rare guests.

The only goal that Kabechi and his companions pursued in Chang'an was to achieve. It could be said that apart from their goal, no one else mattered much.

Even the once-renowned Mahinda was, in the eyes of Kabech and others, just an old man with plenty of social experience and a clever mind.

They can provide intellectual assistance, and will not hinder the competition for the princess, nor will they become rivals.

It was precisely because of these conditions that Mahinda was still able to gain the respect he deserved from these Yuezhi people in the north, and to maintain the dignity of an elder.

Even after Arvind was gone, Mahind was able to live a good life in the Chang'an area, not only easily but also happily, and he could even find people to play chess with most of the time, enjoying his old age.

Of course, this kind of life wouldn't last long, but for Mahinda, that alone was enough.

The occasional visits from Cabeck and others would bring many questions. In the process of answering these questions, not only could we learn a lot of information that we wouldn't normally have access to, but we could also influence Cabeck and the others to some extent.

If Mahind himself hadn't been so naive, he would have truly sold out Cabeck and the others, who would now be counting money for Mahind.

The gap in intelligence has created this chasm-like disparity and situation.

We should treat wise and intelligent people with the same respect as we would a strong person with martial prowess.

Especially for people like Cabage at this moment, a wise man with meticulous thinking and clear logic is far better than their aimless and haphazard exploration.

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my visit to Mr. Ma Xinde at this time." Kabechi, who was also influenced by Han culture to some extent, greeted him politely, and then talked about what he had seen and heard in Chang'an that day, and emphasized the location of the notice.

After obtaining this information, Mahinda quickly thought it through and confirmed a general theme.

“Since the information was released by the Chang’an government, it is unlikely to be false. Under such circumstances, such behavior can only be due to a large-scale population migration; otherwise, it would be impossible to issue such a notice to inform people…” Ma Xinde replied with the intelligence information he had gathered in Chang’an during this period, summarizing Chang’an’s general view and judgment of the Kushan Empire.

This view and judgment can also be linked to the way this incident was handled and its outcome.

Mahinda quickly deduced that there was a problem with the Khyber Pass, or rather, that the Han Empire had discovered the problem; otherwise, so many Yuezhi people wouldn't have come here. The only question was the size of the group that had prompted the Han Empire to make such a cautious, yet well-considered, decision.

"Large-scale population migration and notification?" Cabeck was extremely curious about this answer, but at the same time, he was also somewhat worried, because it might involve higher-level people and forces, which would make things more difficult.

"There is only one possibility, and it is the possibility of the Yuezhi people. As for the possibility of the Han Empire's own people, it can be said to be quite low. The Southern Xiongnu have no room for resistance in the face of the Han Empire's command, and it is not worth the Han Empire to stage such a thing..." Ma Xinde, who quickly guessed the result, further described the matter and also gave an explanation.

"Is there a possibility within our own ranks?" It was as if at this moment that Cabage finally understood what kind of person he truly was.

Despite his young age and exceptional talent, coupled with his abundant resources, Cabecki was no fool and quickly realized the potential problems that might arise in Khyber.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long for such a large army to stop the enemy; there must be a royal family force involved, otherwise the situation wouldn't be so evenly matched.

Vasudeva I was quite adept at the art of maintaining balance and governing his subjects.

The fact that this situation hasn't occurred yet suggests that there are only a few possibilities, but regardless of which possibility it is, the harm to them is considerable.

"In that case, shall we go back?" Bagel, who had also listened to the entire introduction, looked at Cabech, who was deep in thought, gently patted him on the shoulder, and directly stated the worst-case scenario.

Leave this place, leave Chang'an, return to the mountains north of the Khyber Pass, retrain the army, and act as if none of this has ever happened.

"Send someone to provide further information, at least to find out what happened..." Cabedge, having made his decision, hadn't fully relayed his orders when he heard the message from Akani.

"What?" Looking at the envelope in his hand and confirming the letter inside, Cabeck was stunned. He then turned to look north and began to think.

Seeing the two people in front of him, Mahind quickly realized the authenticity of the letter and finally confirmed its truth.

The explanation didn't take long. The intelligent Mahinda only glanced at it twice and already knew the general situation.

"So Arvind actually did something like this after he went back?" Recalling Arvind's actions, a smile involuntarily appeared on Mahinda's lips.

Arvind, who used to be used to having others arrange things for him, has now become the energetic and motivated person he is today, which is quite reminiscent of his former self.

Arvind was like that before—so driven, capable, and confident.

“No wonder Chang’an posted such a notice, it turns out it was because of General Awende…” Bager nodded slightly, feeling that he seemed to understand now.

"Oh no!" Cabedge realized something was wrong and suddenly understood. (End of Chapter)
