After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

Chapter 349 Tripartite meeting, Chagan Wuli’s promise!

"We had such great ambitions back then..." Yelu Cangqi murmured in a low voice, with a hint of nostalgia and emotion in his voice, as if he was recalling those days when he was young and high-spirited.

However, time is like a knife, ruthlessly cutting off that carefree and courageous time.

The Northern Barbarians today are no longer as powerful and glorious as they were in the past, and these former warriors have also lost their former edge and sharpness due to the ruthless years.

Yelu Cangqi's hands slowly clenched, and a hint of pain and anger flashed in his eyes.

He had never imagined that the Northern Barbarians would be in their current situation, let alone that some of them would put the entire Northern Barbarians in danger for their own selfish interests and betray their previous oaths and beliefs.

"How ridiculous..." Yelu Cangqi laughed bitterly, his tone revealing endless desolation and sadness.

He turned to look at Hu Yanhuan, with a hint of tentativeness and inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to find some hope from this young commander, looking for the leader who could lead them out of their predicament.

Hu Yanhuan obviously noticed Yelu Cangqi's gaze, but he just smiled faintly, seeming not to care.

His eyes were still fixed on Hailanhak in the distance, and he seemed to be very interested in the old general's next move and looking forward to a wonderful duel.

"Old General," Hu Yanhuan whispered, with a hint of teasing and respect in his tone, as if he was reminding the other party, or as if he was talking to himself, "Please don't let me down. After all, you are a key chess piece in this game, and every decision you make may affect the direction of the entire battle."

Yelu Cangqi was slightly shocked when he heard this. He looked at Hu Yanhuan deeply, and felt that this young man might be more unfathomable than he thought, and his wisdom and scheming might be far beyond his expectations.

The wind on the grassland is still howling, rolling up layers of grass waves, as if telling unknown secrets, telling the past glory and present vicissitudes of this land.

Hailanhak galloped alone on the grassland, like a lonely warrior. Hu Yanhuan and Yelu Cangqi in the distance watched all this quietly, each with different thoughts and plans in their hearts.

……

Not long after, Hailanhak appeared alone on horseback in front of Huyanhuan and Yelu Cangqi.

He pulled the reins tightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle, carefully looking at the two people in front of him. Especially when he saw Yelu Cangqi, his brows immediately knitted, and a hint of surprise and complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

He seemed surprised by Yelu Cangqi's appearance, even a little unbelievable, because in his expectation, Yelu Cangqi should not appear here.

"I didn't expect that guy would even send an old man like you!" Hailanhak snorted contemptuously, his tone revealing obvious disdain, but at the same time mixed with a hint of helplessness and reluctance.

Yelu Cangqi stood beside Huyanhuan, staring at Hailanhak with a complicated expression. His eyes were deep, and seemed to carry a hint of sigh and emotion.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect that after we parted that day, we would meet again in such a situation."

He paused, his eyes scrutinizing, and then continued, "However, what comforts me is that although the years have left marks on your face, your intuition is still as sharp as ever."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Yelu Cangqi's words, as if he was testing Hailanhak's reaction, and as if he was provoking her.

However, Hailanhak did not respond to his sarcasm. He just lowered his head, with a hint of indignation on his face, and responded in a low but firm voice:
"After all, they are still too young and too inexperienced. They don't know the habits of wolves or the rules of the grassland."

Hailanhak raised his head and looked deeply at Yelu Cangqi, a glimmer of memories flashed in his eyes, and his tone was somewhat cold and confident: "Wolves will never howl in the early morning.

Only people like you and me who have lived with wild wolves day and night will notice this detail. And I, Hailanhak, will never forget that time. "

Hearing this, Yelu Cangqi's eyes trembled slightly, as if Hailanhak's words evoked some long-forgotten memories.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a complex smile, which seemed to be a sigh of emotion and also seemed to be in agreement.

"You are right," Yelu Cangqi said slowly, with a hint of emotion in his tone, "That period of time was indeed the most unforgettable days in our lives."

Hu Yanhuan stood aside, with a faint smile on his face, quietly looking at the two veterans in front of him.

He did not interrupt, but just looked at the two of them with interest, as if he was observing a drama of reunion after a long separation.

He knew that no matter what Hailanhak was like today, it was difficult to conceal his past contributions to the Northern Barbarians.

Once upon a time, Hailanhak was the idol and hero of countless people on their grassland. Otherwise, Chagan Uli would not have entrusted the most important base camp to Hailanhak for protection when the northern barbarians came out in full force.

All this is because Hailanhak was too dazzling back then, and because Hailanhak is now blinded by desire.

At this moment, he didn't want to disturb the two old generals from reminiscing about the past.

Hailanhak's gaze swept over Hu Yanhuan again, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He said coldly: "Hu Yanhuan, you are really calculating. You even use this trick. It seems that you are more cunning than I thought."

Hearing this, Hu Yanhuan smiled lightly, spread his hands, and said with a hint of innocence: "Old General, this is not my calculation, but you are too perceptive.

After all, the howling of wolves on the grassland is indeed a good signal, isn't it? "

Hailanhak snorted coldly and said nothing more. He knew that every word of Hu Yanhuan had a hidden meaning, and at this moment, he had to stay calm and not be led by the other party.

Yelu Cangqi watched the confrontation between the two men, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He knew very well that the game before him was no longer a simple battle of warriors, but a deeper battle of power and intrigue. And he, being in the middle of it, could not stay out of it.

The wind on the grassland was still howling, rolling up the grass waves, as if adding a bit of solemn atmosphere to the confrontation. The three people's eyes met, as if sparks collided silently.

At this moment, the morning light on the grassland gradually became brighter, but the shadow hidden behind the light seemed even deeper.

Everyone has his own calculations in mind, and this grassland will eventually witness the final outcome of this game. After a lighthearted joke with Yelu Cangqi, Hailanhak's eyes slowly moved towards Hu Yanhuan, revealing a sense of scrutiny and exploration.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then sneered, his tone containing both a hint of sarcasm and a hint of indescribable admiration.

He seemed dissatisfied with Hu Yanhuan's youth and status, and said in a bad tone: "It seems that the old guy is planning to abdicate and hand over the Wolf Master to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped beating around the bush and came straight to the point with his question: "Did Chagan Wuli agree to my terms?"

At this point, his gaze towards Hu Yanhuan changed, with a hint of amusement, "Also, what is your purpose in asking me to meet you this time? Aren't you worried that I won't show up and will just come back with my troops to kill you?"

This series of questions was like a sharp knife pointing directly at Hu Yanhuan. However, facing Hailanhak's aggressiveness, Hu Yanhuan seemed calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face.

He spoke calmly and methodically, “First, regarding the question of whether the old general will attend the appointment—it is the general’s character to attend the appointment alone.

This is the Hailanhak who rode into the enemy camp alone and saved the Khan."

Hu Yanhuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Hailanhak's heart hard. His expression suddenly changed, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Hu Yanhuan gently opened up that dusty memory, as if a vivid picture was reappearing in his mind.

The corners of Hailanhak's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bitter smile, and whispered: "I didn't expect you to remember this clearly, I almost forgot it myself!"

There was a hint of self-mockery and emotion in his voice. He looked into the distance with a gloomy expression and mixed feelings in his heart.

The former glory and honor seemed to be just yesterday, but now he was exhausted and had a sense of regret in his heart.

Seeing this, Hu Yanhuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he took the opportunity to say: "No matter what, the honor that belonged to Hailanhak in the past will never be erased.

This grassland remembers, your comrades remember, and the backs of the Hailan tribe will also remember and be proud of you. "

Upon hearing this, Hailanhak was slightly startled, then lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

Complex emotions surged in his heart. All the pride and glory he once had, and the years he spent fighting for the Northern Barbarians, all came to his mind at this moment.

However, he quickly raised his head, and his eyes became cold and determined again.

He stared at Hu Yanhuan, his voice low but revealing an unquestionable power: "Stop trying to fool me. What's the point of saying these nice words? Where is Chagan Wuli's reply? And what do you want from me?"

Hu Yanhuan still looked calm, smiled calmly, and said calmly: "General, please be patient. I will give you a satisfactory answer to Chagan Wuli's reply. But before that, I need you to listen to my advice first."

Hailanhak snorted coldly. Although he was still vigilant, he had to admit that Hu Yanhuan's calmness and composure made him feel a little daunted. He did not interrupt, but chose to wait quietly for Hu Yanhuan's next words.

Hu Yanhuan smiled slightly, his eyes were deep and determined, as if he had a plan in mind.

He knew that Hailanhak's heart was not as hard as he appeared to be. He was just forced into a corner by the reality of the situation.

And now, what Hu Yanhuan has to do is to find that breakthrough and completely pull this old Northern Barbarian general into his own chess game.

The wind on the grassland was still howling, rolling up waves of grass, as if adding a bit of tension to the conversation.

And in this vast land, the fate of the three people, and even the future of the entire Northern Barbarians, are quietly changing.

"Please rest assured, General. Not only can I give you Li Zhongwu's head, I can even let you kill him with your own hands to vent your hatred." Hu Yanhuan's voice was calm and cool, as if he was stating something very ordinary.

Hailanhak's eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Although he had already guessed that Hu Yanhuan would make a fuss about Li Zhongwu, the other party's calm tone still made him feel a little strange.

Seeing this, Hu Yanhuan continued with a certainty in his tone: "As for the issue of the Hailan tribe that the general is most worried about, the Khan has already agreed to the general's conditions before leaving. The Hailan tribe can still be retained in the future, but the premise of all this is that the general and the entire Hailan tribe can have a dignified exit."

"Exit with dignity?" Hailanhak's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was low and hoarse. He stared at Hu Yanhuan with a knife-like gaze, as if he wanted to see something from the other's face.

However, Hu Yanhuan's expression remained calm, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

He did not avoid Hailanhak's gaze, but met it calmly, as if he had already expected the other party to have such a reaction.

Hailanhak's heart was filled with turmoil. He understood what this so-called "dignified exit" meant - it meant that he would die on the battlefield with all his men.

Although this is an irresistible fate, it is also a predetermined ending.

However, although he had already expected such an outcome, when fate finally came, he found that his full preparation was just wishful thinking.

Hailanhak clenched his fists slowly, and his knuckles made a slight cracking sound. His eyes were filled with anger, unwillingness, and deep pain, but more of it was powerlessness. He was once the proudest warrior on the grassland, and he thought he could control everything. However, now he found that he was just a chess piece in this game, and he couldn't even control his own destiny.

"A dignified exit...ha, what a nice way of saying it." Hailanhak sneered, his voice full of sarcasm and bitterness.

"General," Hu Yanhuan's voice sounded again, with a hint of comfort and persuasion in his tone, "This is not your failure, but the fate of the Northern Barbarians. With your wisdom and courage, I believe you have already seen this clearly.

Today's grasslands can no longer bear more internal friction. You and I both understand that only in this way can the Hailan tribe retain its final dignity, and you, Hailanhak, will always be remembered as a hero of the Northern Barbarians. "

In fact, there were two paths before Chagan Wuli, but Chagan Wuli chose this one.

This was not only for the sake of stability within the Northern Barbarians, but more importantly to clear obstacles for Hu Yanhuan in the future.

Chagan Uli understood this, Hailanhak understood it even more clearly, and even Yelu Cangqi understood it.
