129: Personal charm?

"Captain, it's time to rest. Some of the brothers' warhorses can't keep going!" Li Mu advised.

Lin Yue's warhorse was a treasure horse of Earth-tier quality, but most of the other White Horse Righteous Cavalry' warhorses were of Yellow-tier quality and couldn't run so fast for long periods.

If they kept running, some warhorses would definitely collapse from exhaustion.

"Mm, let's rest for a bit." Lin Yue nodded, preparing to stop temporarily to rest. Otherwise, he feared that his White Horse Righteous Cavalry would have to run back on foot halfway before they even reached Shang Commandery.

"Understood!" Li Mu nodded.

At a command, the entire army rested. Xing Daorong was sent out to be on guard, while the other Soldiers washed their warhorses and fed them some beans to replenish their strength. After days of marching, just eating grass wasn't enough; they also needed beans, which these Soldiers had prepared.

After eating its beans, Big Yellow went to play with Zhao Yun's horse, because it finally had a warhorse it approved of, unlike the stupid horses it had seen before.

That warhorse was the one previously captured from Wuluoli, now belonging to Zhao Yun. As the saying goes, a good horse for a hero. Lin Yue looked at Zhao Zilong, in his white horse and white robe, holding a Dragon-Gall Silver Spear, standing beside him like a beautiful scenic view. He truly couldn't think of a more suitable person.

"Water! Water!" Wuluoli had just been thrown from the warhorse onto the ground. He lay there, weakly calling out. Liu Sandao stood his great saber beside him, intently watching him to prevent his escape, but he ignored Wuluoli's cries.

Because Liu Sandao didn't understand Wuluoli's Xiongnu language, and even if he did, he wouldn't agree.

Lin Yue took out a water bottle from his spatial ring and gestured for Liu Sandao to give him some to drink. This little prince was a treasure, a treasure that could bring many gains to the Great Wall Legion, and also military achievements to Lin Yue. It would be laughable if he died of thirst along the way.

A living Wuluoli and a dead Wuluoli were two different concepts.

Wuluoli gulped down an entire bottle of water before he felt the fire in his throat extinguished. Then he looked at Lin Yue and asked curiously, "Thank you. By the way, can you understand me?"

"Yes." Lin Yue said. His Erbai Liang silver wasn't spent in vain; products from the system were always top-notch.

"That's great. Being tied up and thrown onto a warhorse this whole way, I almost died from the bumping. Untie me, I definitely won't run." Wuluoli showed an Amiability smile.

"Don't even think about it. You are a prisoner of war now and have no right to make demands. If you're uncomfortable, just bear with it. It'll be better once we reach our destination." Lin Yue said.

"Are we going to Shang Commandery?" Wuluoli asked.

Lin Yue glanced at him without answering, but the answer was self-evident. The Great Wall Legion's base camp was in Shang Commandery; where else would they go if not Shang Commandery?

Wuluoli also realized he had asked a foolish question, but he didn't care in the slightest.

Could this be the so-called noble demeanor? Why doesn't he seem scared at all? Lin Yue thought to himself.

"I saw it before. I don't know what you're collecting so many clothes for, but if you untie me, I'll give you many clothes, brand new ones, then." Wuluoli smiled, then added:

"I won't run. If I'm not mistaken, we're not far from the Shang Commandery border now. This side is all your people. I can't run even if I try, and I won't make those useless struggles."

"I'm a bit puzzled. Why don't you have any self-awareness as a captive?" Lin Yue smiled, suddenly finding this little prince quite interesting.

"What am I afraid of? The hardships here are only temporary. Moreover, I found that you are very civilized and haven't subjected me to torture. Besides being a bit bumpy, there are no other drawbacks.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I've been through harder and more bitter days. At worst, I'll treat it as coming here to hunt. Anyway, I'm going back eventually." Wuluoli smiled. Although his current appearance, tied up and lying on the ground, wasn't very elegant, his confident and calm demeanor still surprised Lin Yue.

Could this be the so-called Kingly Aura?

Just like the God of War at Tumu Fortress when he was captured, he also sat cross-legged on the ground calmly, facing the menacing threats of the Oirat Soldiers with composure.

Even after being captured, he still managed to make Esen's younger brother, the second-in-command Boyan Temür, willingly serve him. The Soldiers and officers guarding him also sided with him. When Zhu Qizhen was sent back, Boyan Temür even cried out, "The Emperor is gone! When shall we meet again!"

Even when he returned to the capital and was placed under house arrest, the officials guarding him willingly allowed him to command them. Could there really be such a person?

Although his abilities weren't great, did he possess a special personal Charm?

"Eh, why does it feel like I'm insulting myself?" Lin Yue shook his head, throwing the strange thought out of his mind, then looked at Wuluoli.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wuluoli asked, puzzled.

"I'm checking if you have a Kingly Aura." Lin Yue said, puzzled.

"And the result?"

"I can't tell. Even if you do, it's a turtle's aura." Lin Yue smiled.

If he didn't know that the next Xiongnu Chanyu was Chanyu Modu, who besieged Liu Bang at Mount Baideng and flirted with Empress Lü, Lin Yue might have really thought this guy would become the next Xiongnu Chanyu.

But there was no if. He had seen Wuluoli's attributes. Although not weak, he absolutely didn't believe he could be stronger than Chanyu Modu.

Although Wuluoli didn't know what a turtle was, he knew from Lin Yue's expression that it wasn't a compliment. But he just smiled it off: "I am Touman Chanyu's prince, the future king of the grasslands. It's normal for me to have a certain temperament that you can't perceive."

"How are you so sure you'll be safe, that your father will definitely save you? Is he your only son?" Lin Yue asked.

"There are some things you don't understand. The waters here are very deep; even if I told you, you wouldn't comprehend." Wuluoli smiled.

"Oh, the 'I know everything' guy. I just want to know where you get your confidence from?" Lin Yue smiled.

Just then, a white steed galloped in from the darkness!

"My lord, Xiongnu Cavalry are chasing from afar. They are still ten li away from us. It's too dark to see their numbers clearly, but from the sound, there are definitely no less than 150,000!"

Lin Yue stood up with a whoosh!

"Everyone mount your horses!

Retreat!" Lin Yue shouted.

Too fast! This Xiongnu Cavalry force had bypassed She Jian's legion and chased all the way here, completely disregarding the threat to their rear, single-mindedly focused on rescue. It seems Wuluoli's status truly was as he said!

"Retreat!" Horses neighed, and all the White Horse Righteous Cavalry mounted their horses, continuing to run south!

Wuluoli was still thrown onto the warhorse by Liu Sandao, but now he was even more composed. A little bumping couldn't disturb his good mood. It seemed someone had come to save him. Whether successful or not, he was completely safe this time!

He just wondered if he could take the opportunity to escape. He closed his eyes and pondered.

The group continued their march regardless of the night, and the sound of hooves echoed across the grasslands once more!
