Chapter 363 One day
What could possibly happen to me at this time?
Hearing this, Song Yuan was slightly surprised and turned around and asked softly.
"Why don't you tell me what's going on first?"
Luo Jia's expression darkened. "My own brother, the former Barbarian Prince, Tublai Khan, also died in the Land of Divine Punishment!"
"And then?" Seeing Luo Jia suddenly stop talking mid-sentence, Song Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying this to tell me that sooner or later you will avenge your own brother?"
In Song Yuan's view, no matter who the other party is, he is his enemy after all.
Luojia’s relatives are dead, but what about his own relatives?
Situ Jing's family, all the young and strong men died tragically on the battlefield. Is there anyone they can complain to?
It was already a mercy that he did not kill Luo Jia to hold a grudge against her.
No, I think I understand!
Why was Situ Jing crying before!
Song Yuan was quick-witted and reacted instantly.
I think the reason why Situ Jing cried so sadly before was most likely because she was looking for Luo Jia and asked about the tragic deaths of her father and brother.
There has always been a thorn buried in Luojia's heart, which is the scene of the tragic death of his relatives.
No wonder Jinlian looked at me with that look before, signaling me not to talk too much.
That's it!
"I'm not that boring."
Just as Song Yuan suddenly realized what was going on, Luo Jia curled her lips and said, "If you really kill him, I should thank you. My relationship with him was never good to begin with. He was always targeting me, afraid that I would steal his throne!"
"Although he is a relative, I don't feel sad about his life or death. Instead, I feel grateful."
Being born into a royal family is a blessing, but also a sorrow.
This kind of thing not only happened to Song Yuan, but some clues could also be seen on Luo Jia.
As the eldest prince, Tublai Khan was naturally wary of Luojia.
After all, she is the Khan's most beloved daughter, and in terms of personal ability, she is indeed far superior to the eldest prince!
It was also fortunate that Luo Jia was a girl, otherwise, with her previous brilliance, how could she have lived to this day?
I'm afraid he would have died tragically at the hands of Tublaik!
"Then why are you suddenly asking me this kind of thing?" Seeing Luo Jia tell the truth, Song Yuan became even more confused.
The Barbarian Princess raised her eyebrows and finally made her meaning clear: "I just think that this matter may be able to do business with you. Aren't you most interested in business?"
"Be more careful!"
Song Yuan, a money-grubber, became interested instantly when he saw the profit to be made.
It really lives up to Luojia’s evaluation!
Luo Jia shook his head, sneered, and then said, "If you can dig out my brother's body in the Land of Divine Punishment, I believe that if this matter reaches my father's ears, he will probably give you something in exchange!"
Song Yuan was stunned.
It is true that this matter has its benefits, but where can I find people?
"Are you out of your mind?"
In front of Luo Jia, Song Yuan shook his head directly: "Tens of thousands of your barbarian soldiers died in the Land of Divine Punishment. Do you think it will be different if I go in?"
"I'm not going to risk my life to go in and help you find a body. Do you think I'm a fool or you're a fool?"
"Do you think I believe it?" Luo Jia snorted coldly in response to Song Yuan's explanation.
"Don't think I don't know what you did there. I still haven't figured out the mystery, but you dug up a lot of horse carcasses there before. If you really had divine power over that place, how could you do such a daring thing?"
"Then I'd like to ask you something. You just said that you don't have a good relationship with your brother, so why do you have to get involved in this matter?"
"The one who wants the corpse is not me, but my father!" Luo Jia replied calmly.
Song Yuan suddenly realized!
The Khan promoted Tublai Khan to such a position. Presumably, in his eyes, he must have placed high hopes on this eldest prince.
Just like myself!
When I left the imperial city, my father once told me in front of me that if Song Yuan died tragically on the battlefield, he would definitely avenge him!
Even emperors cannot avoid having romantic feelings for their most admired offspring.
If the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was like this, what about the Khan of the barbarians?
Even though he had figured out the secret, Song Yuanquan refused without a second thought: "I advise you to give up on this idea. If it were someone else, I might agree to it, but with Tubile, I absolutely won't!"
"Let's not even talk about whether I have the guts to go to the Land of Divine Punishment to dig him out. Even if I did go and found him, I would just trample his body into a pulp with my horse's hooves. There's no way I'd trade him for yours!"
This matter touched Song Yuan's bottom line, and he refused it very straightforwardly!
It’s just because, when Situ Jing’s father and brother died tragically at the hands of the other side, wasn’t that how those barbarians treated them?
It’s true that Song Yuan is a business-loving person!
But in his eyes, not everything can be replaced!
Some things are far more important than so-called interests.
This kind of thing must be grasped in your hands and must be held on to!
"I knew you would say that!"
Luo Jia's face darkened as if he had anticipated the answer. He shook his head gently, "Regarding your princess and what happened to his father and brother, I can only say sorry. It's a pity that I wasn't by my father's side at the time. Otherwise, perhaps the ending would not be like this!"
"If it were me, even if they were warriors from a foreign country, I would definitely treat them with courtesy. I would definitely bury them properly, or even return their bodies to your Great Qin!"
"It has already happened. It's useless for you to say more now!" Song Yuan glared at Luo Jia coldly.
"Since you know where your brother's body is, if you're brave enough, you can send someone to dig it up. But I must warn you in advance, the Land of Divine Punishment is full of strange things. If you're not afraid of divine punishment, then go ahead!"
Hearing Song Yuan's words, Luo Jia couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
Some things are far beyond her control.
With tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers and horses dying tragically in the Land of Divine Punishment, the visions related to the Land of Divine Punishment have now become increasingly severe throughout the barbarian heredity.
Even if she offered a large sum of money, I'm afraid no one would dare to go.
And what really makes Luo Jia afraid is Song Yuan in front of him!
What if she led her men deep into the land of divine punishment and ended up being ambushed by Song Yuan?
At that time, the loss would definitely outweigh the gain, and it would be hard to say whether you could escape.
"Are you sure there is no room for negotiation on this matter?" But Luo Jia didn't want to give up.
But Song Yuan's attitude was particularly firm: "I said it's impossible!"
Noticing the flash in Song Yuan's pupils, Luo Jia shook his head and finally stopped talking.
"Rest early and don't forget about tomorrow's important event!"
Song Yuan then said this, hugged the two women beside him and whispered.
"Okay, let's go, it's time to go back to the room!"
Situ Jing and Jinlian looked at each other, stood up silently, and followed Song Yuan back to their room.
Seeing that Situ Jing's eyes were still red, Song Yuan didn't know how to comfort her and could only persuade her softly.
"Please be more open-minded. These things happened a long time ago. We should always look forward to it. Don't be too sad. The only thing I can promise you is this!"
"Sooner or later, I will capture the Barbarian Khan who handled this matter and hand him over to you to do whatever you want with him!"
"I believe you!"
Situ Jing nodded fiercely, staring at Song Yuan with red eyes: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I know what you mean. You rejected Luo Jia's proposal because of me."
"I've figured it out a long time ago. After all, getting more benefits is the most important thing for us right now!"
"You don't need to say more. I still say that this is impossible!"
Song Yuan didn't waver at all. He just waved his hand, with a firm expression on his face.
……
The next morning, General Wei had finished dealing with the trivial matters on the front line and immediately led his personal soldiers back to Zhenbei City.
As the commander, Song Yuan also began to work on the subsequent exchange of prisoners.
Today, Daqin has occupied one of the three border cities.
According to Song Yuan’s plan, he originally didn’t want to release Luojia!
But after considering the final outcome, I finally gave up my original plan.
Although, even if Song Yuan did not abide by the agreement, the barbarians would probably not be able to defend the two border towns in the end.
However, it is not ruled out that the other party will be angry and determined to fight to the death with everyone!
Now the soldiers on the border are holding back their anger. They are not afraid of fighting with the barbarians, but after all, these are human lives!
In addition, Song Yuan has already informed His Majesty of the relevant matters. Based on Song Youji's character, he will definitely not allow any mistakes to occur in this matter!
If Song Yuan really went too far, Song Youji would definitely step in and force him to release Luo Jia.
If you think about it carefully, it really doesn't make up for the loss, so you might as well give up!
"Releasing Luojia sooner will also allow us to reclaim Sanbian City sooner. After resolving this trivial matter, the next thing we need to think about is how to seize military power!"
Song Yuan muttered to himself and finally shook his head. After all, the most important thing at the moment was how to control the entire Zhenbei Army in his own hands!
Daybreak.
Song Yuan led his men and escorted Luo Jia and the captives to the outside of the city.
On the opposite side, the barbarian army also abided by the agreement and waited here early.
Song Yuan waved his hand, and the barbarian captives regained their freedom.
At this moment, everyone took a step forward with excitement on their faces and walked towards their own camp.
Only after everyone returned to the camp did the barbarians finally release all the Qin captives.
And it wasn't just people. When these captives returned, they also brought with them 1,500 war horses.
This time, the barbarians did not make any small moves for the first time.
After all, the other party's princess is still in Song Yuan's hands, and those war horses have indeed been carefully selected.
Seeing that the original agreement had been fulfilled one by one, Song Yuan waved his hand and ordered his men to release Luo Jia.
However, she did not expect that after Luo Jia regained her freedom, she did not leave immediately, but came to Song Yuan first and took off the hairpin from her head.
"Before I leave you something, it's a bit smelly since you touched it. I don't want to be around it!"
"Can I consider this action of yours as a token of love?"
"That's right, it's a token of love. You can take it and surrender to the barbarians. Then you can become my barbarian prince consort!" Luo Jia responded with a smile.
Song Yuan shook his head: "I can't afford this kind of blessing, so forget it. But when you go back, don't forget our original agreement and give me the other two cities!"
"understood!"
Luo Jia glanced at Song Yuan unhappily, then jumped on the horse.
Unexpectedly, Song Yuan looked at Luo Jia's back and suddenly said something meaningful.
"Reba, remember your name. Also, I hope that one day we can..."
"You're just saying half of what you're saying. What's the second half?"
"There's no second half to that. It's just one day!" Song Yuan shrugged with a wicked smile.
Luo Jia cursed angrily, "You are such a hypocrite, so treacherous!"
After he finished speaking, he whipped his horsewhip and galloped into his own camp.
