Chapter 1429 Brotherhood!
Listening to his good brother Ayushila's words full of anger and resentment, Apingmuga couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although he and Ayushila belong to two different chieftains, they are good brothers who grew up together. Therefore, Aping Muga knows Ayushila's character very well. If he hadn't held Ayushila back last time, he would probably have fought with Zhang Meng!
After that, he was worried that Ayushila would have another conflict with Zhang Meng, but Ayushila calmed down, which surprised Aping Muga. Although he was curious why Ayushila suddenly changed his personality, Aping Muga was also happy to see this transformation of his good brother!
After all, the situation is stronger than the people. Daqian is now like a dragon crossing the river, and these chieftains are no match for it at all. They only have two choices: the first is to live on their knees, and the second is to die standing!
In Aping Muga's eyes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. What's more important is that Daqian's fierce dragon crossing the river will inevitably break the original power structure of Yunqian. If Daqian wants to maintain the stability of Yunqian, it must rely on these local chieftains!
Therefore, this is a good opportunity for small chieftains like Aping Muga and Ayushila to strengthen themselves and gain benefits!
They were already in a difficult situation under the bullying of the three chieftains, Xiong, Li and Mu. Now that they have such a good opportunity, they naturally want to stand up and sing. This is also an important reason why they chose to join the Daqian camp under Sun Teng's lobbying...
Aping Muga originally wanted to join forces with his good brother Ayushila to use the power of Daqian to strengthen himself, but he didn't expect that Ayushila would secretly hook up with Li Huan at this time. Thinking of this, Aping Muga couldn't help but say:
"Who is Ayuna Li Huan? Don't you know?"
"He is a wolf that eats people without leaving any bones behind!"
"If you join hands with him, wouldn't that be courting death?"
Facing his good brother's accusation, Ayushila immediately refuted:
"Isn't Li Huan a good person?"
"Is that Zhang a good person?"
"Let's not talk about the tricks he played on me about Xiong Ping. Whenever we had to fight a battle along the way, he always sent our men to fight first, and when the battle was almost over, his men would charge forward!"
"In my opinion, in the eyes of this Zhang, the lives of his men are lives, but our lives are not lives at all!"
After hearing what Ayushila said, Apingmuga was speechless and didn't know what to say. After all, what Ayushila said was the truth.
Seeing this, Ayushira continued:
"A Ping, I know what you are planning. You want to use the power of Daqian to get to the top, but have you ever thought that if Zhang follows his plan, he will definitely let our people rush to the front when we attack Grey Snake Ridge and Jinzhi City next!"
"A Ping, have you ever thought about how many of our people would die if that happened?"
Ayushila's words were like a sharp arrow hitting Aping Muga's chest, causing the chieftain to fall into silence. After a long time, Aping Muga slowly said:
"Ayu, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Ayushira said without hesitation:
"A Ping, I've thought about it. In my opinion, neither Li Huan nor this Zhang can be trusted. They are both using us as pawns. If possible, I don't want to choose either of them..."
"But if I have to choose one, I choose Li Huan! After all, we are both from Yunqian!"
"I have contacted Li Huan, and he promised us that as long as we turn against him and help him defeat Zhang, he will hand over the Yaonan Mountain territory to us. By then, we will be able to rise to power and have a good development!"
Hearing what Ayushila said, Aping Muga was also somewhat moved. He thought carefully for a moment and said:
"So do you have a specific plan?"
Upon hearing this, Ayushila said:
"Take action now!"
After hearing this, Aping Muga was also surprised. Seeing this, Ayushila repeated:
"Tonight! Let's get rid of that Zhang guy!"
Looking at his good brother with a fierce look on his face, Aping Muga also realized that Ayu was not joking. He really wanted to take action now. He hesitated for a moment and said:
"If we start tonight, isn't it too hasty? We are not prepared at all!"
Ayushila looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said truthfully:
“My subordinate Jike Yitie and Li Huan agreed that we would attack outside Jinzhi City and unite inside and outside to catch the Daqian army off guard. However, the spy we were responsible for contacting just now seemed to have been captured by the Daqian army. I’m not sure if he can withstand it…”
Aping Muga, who had just been somewhat moved by Ayushila's plan, was now speechless. He thought Ayushila had some good plan, but it turned out that the plan was about to be exposed, so he wanted to drag himself along to fight to the death!
Facing Aping Muga's gaze, Ayushila lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. Just as he was about to say something, one of Aping Muga's men walked into the tent and reported to him:
"Chief! Commander Zhang has sent someone to invite you and Chief Ayu to go to his place!"
As soon as these words came out, Ayushila and Aping Muga were shocked and looked at each other subconsciously. Then Ayushila asked:
"Did Zhang Meng tell us why he invited the two of us over?"
"They didn't say that. They just said they have something important to discuss. Please ask the two leaders to come over!"
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Aping Muga waved his hand and his men immediately bowed and left!
After his men left, Ayushira immediately said pleadingly:
"A Ping! Zhang may have already known about this. Let's fight him!"
Aping Muga did not speak when he heard this. Seeing this, Ayushila grabbed his hand and said anxiously:
"A Ping, let's fight him! Cut our way out! I beg you!"
Feeling the anxiety in Ayushila's words, Aping Muga calmed down instead. He pondered for a moment and found a subordinate and ordered:
"Go and check out what's going on in the Daqian military camp right now! Remember to go quietly..."
"Yes!"
Looking at Aping Muga's instructions, Ayushila asked curiously:
"Why are you watching the movements in the Daqian military camp?"
Upon hearing this, Aping Muga looked at Ayushila and said nothing. Seeing this, Ayushila didn't know what Aping was thinking, but he could only wait anxiously. He knew very well that if he rashly rebelled with the three to five thousand troops under his command, he would only be brutally suppressed by the Daqian army!
His only chance to survive now is to get Aping Muga to rebel together. Aping Muga has a force of 7,000 men. Only if the two of them rebel together can they fight their way out. This is why Ayushila would ask Aping Muga for help!
After a while, the men returned and reported to Aping Muga:
"Chief, the Daqian military camp is already on alert, and it seems that they are very wary of us!"
Hearing this, Ayushila looked even more anxious, while Aping Muga closed his eyes in pain. Seeing this, Ayushila urged him: "Aping, let's do it! Kill one and it's one, kill two and it's a pair!"
"Let's fight him head on! Let Zhang know how powerful we are!"
Seeing that his good brother Ayushila was still trying to fight, Aping Muga said with a wry smile:
"Ayu has no chance! The Daqian army is already prepared. Even if we take action now, we will only be killed!"
Ayushila was not a stupid man either, he also realized this, but he subconsciously did not want to think about it in this way. He still wanted to try to win a chance to survive by fighting desperately. But now Aping Muga ruthlessly tore off the fig leaf and told the bloody truth!
After hearing these words, Ayushira also stood there dumbfounded...
Seeing his good brother, who he had grown up with, looking so disheartened, Aping Muga was also very sad. To be honest, after learning from Ayushila that the news had leaked, Aping Muga realized that the matter was over!
But Aping Muga was also very clear about what would happen to his good brother if things failed, so facing his good brother's pleading, Aping Muga was a little soft-hearted. The reason why he asked his men to inquire about the situation of the Daqian army was that he was hoping to see if there was still a chance!
After this period of coordinated operations, Aping Muga has a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Daqian army!
He knew that if he wanted to successfully turn against the enemy he could only launch a surprise attack and catch the Daqian army off guard. Only in this way would he have a chance of success!
If the Daqian army had been prepared, they would have been slaughtered!
So considering the decades of brotherhood between the two, Aping Muga will fight as long as he sees a glimmer of opportunity!
But unfortunately, the Daqian army is now on guard, and they no longer have a chance. If they force their way into the fight, they will be dead!
Aping Muga is not afraid of death!
But he still has more than 7,000 tribesmen under his command. These tribesmen are the backbone of their families, fathers, husbands, and sons. Their families are looking forward to their safe return. As the chieftain, Aping Muga has a sense of responsibility in his heart, so he cannot lead these tribesmen to a battle that is bound to be lost!
A Ping Muga hesitated for a while and said:
"Ayu, let's go see Commander Zhang, and then we will put all the blame on Li Huan. Zhang Meng still needs us now, and I will plead for you..."
Listening to Ah Ping's words, Ayushila sighed and said regretfully:
"One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps!"
After saying this, Ayushila took out a short knife of exquisite style from his waist, handed it to Aping Muga and said:
"A Ping, this is a token of our toast. I'm giving my toast to you!"
Listening to his good brother's instructions for his funeral, Aping Muga was also surprised and said:
"Ayu, what do you want to do?"
Ayushira shook his head and said:
"A Ping, I appreciate your kindness, but Zhang Meng is not a fool. He doesn't trust us. If he does what you say, both of us will probably die!"
Listening to his good brother's words, Aping Muga also realized something and said anxiously:
"Ayu, don't be impulsive! There must be a better way!"
Before Aping Muga finished speaking, Ayumujia pulled out another dagger from his waist and stabbed himself in the chest. Blood gushed out instantly and Ayumujia was about to fall to the ground.
"Ayu!"
Seeing this, Apingmuga immediately rushed over shouting and helped Ayumujia who was about to fall.
At this time, Ayumujia, who was barely breathing, leaned in his good brother's arms and said calmly:
"A Ping, I really regret not listening to you! Things have ended up like this!"
"A Ping, I should have gone with you to see Zhang Meng, so that I could have cleared your suspicion, but Zhang Meng is such a bastard and his methods are too cruel. I'm afraid that I'll leave in too much pain, so please allow me to be selfish for once!"
Hearing his good brother say this, Aping Muga couldn't help but burst into tears. He tried to cover Ayushila's wound to stop the bleeding while saying:
“Ayu, stop talking! You will be fine! There must be a better way…”
Seeing that his good brother still had illusions, the dying Ayushila gathered up his last bit of energy and said:
"Good brother! After I leave, you take my head to see Zhang Meng and put all the responsibility on me. Zhang Meng has a good impression of you and he won't make things difficult for you!"
"I'm leaving my people in your care. Please try your best to bring them all back. This is my last request in this life!"
"Ayu! Stop talking!"
Hearing his good brother's words, A Ping's emotions also collapsed. Seeing this, Ayushila held his hand and said earnestly:
"A Ping! Promise me! Promise me!"
Upon hearing this, Aping Muga nodded heavily and said:
"Don't worry, Ayu! I will definitely try my best to bring them all back!"
After hearing his good brother's promise, Ayushila no longer had any regrets, and immediately said with a smile:
"A Ping, the greatest luck in my life is having a good brother like you! Let's be brothers in the next life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ayushila stopped breathing completely due to excessive blood loss.
"Ayu!"
Seeing this, Apingmuga let out a loud roar to vent the pain and powerlessness in his heart.
After he finished shouting, Aping Muga's mind was blank, still immersed in the pain of his good brother dying in front of him. At this moment, his men walked into the tent again and reported to Aping Muga:
"The leader, Zhang Meng, has sent people again. They want you and Tusi Ayu to go there immediately. They seem to be in a hurry..."
Without waiting for his subordinate to finish speaking, Aping Muga wiped the tears from his face and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go there now!"
