Chapter 24: Mid-Autumn Night

After King Yu Jing returned home, he was restless and waited in the study. The daughter Yu Weilan came in and said, "Dad, Mom let you go!"

"Go! don't bother me!" he said angrily.

"Hey!" she smiled and said to her father, "I'll let Mom do it herself!"

"You dare!"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to be quiet!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Dad is worried about Lord Su's business, right?" asked the daughter mischievously.

"Yes," said King Yu asked his daughter, "what do you think?"

The daughter thought about it and said, "After he recovers from his injuries, let's find a way to send him away without realizing it!"

The father asked his daughter, "If you are Master Su, can you leave behind the more than 100 subordinates who came with you and go alone?"

The daughter pondered for a moment and asked: "Then, if he doesn't leave, according to the meaning of Shan Yu and Wei Lu, if he doesn't surrender, he will die, what do you say?"

"Aren't I here trying to figure it out!"

"Have you figured it out?"

At this time, the family came in and said:

"Lord Wang, a shaman has brought medicine to his wife!"

"Please!" he smiled mysteriously at his daughter as he watched his family go out.

"Mother is alright!?" the daughter wondered.

Then, Frustration came in with a sheepskin pouch on his shoulder.

"The people who have the means are coming!"

When Yu Weilan saw Gehr, he happily gave up his seat: "Uncle Shaman, please take a seat!"

King Yu Jing couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Shaman." How?"

He replied, "He is determined to fight to the death for the sake of his brother and the dignity of the Great Han!"

"So how can we save his life?"

"When the time comes, we will see the actual situation and figure out a way!" He knew that King Yu Jing liked friends and admired Su Wu, but after all, he was the prince and the younger brother of Da Shan Yu. In this extraordinary period, I couldn't have close contact with him, so I left the package and quit immediately.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the autumn is high and cool, the sky is blue, the full moon is hanging high, quiet and happy.

People are in their own yards, to the moon mother-in-law on the offerings, all kinds of autumn fruits, fresh autumn grain made of various round foods symbolizing reunion, worship the moon and admire the moon, celebrate the autumn harvest, pray for a good harvest next year, and talk about a safe reunion.

In Su Wu's house, in the huge garden, the fragrance of chrysanthemums is permeated, and the offerings are abundant. Su Wu's mother took the family to worship the moon and prayed: "Mother-in-law Yue: Please bless my family, old and young, and bless my son Su Wu with all the best and return safely......

Su Wu's wife Chou'er faced the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, recalling that every Mid-Autumn Festival after marriage, her husband would send her a surprise, a beloved dress or a favorite piece of jewelry, and couldn't help crying.

She covered her mouth and ran back to her room. For more than four months, she missed her husband, and in front of the whole family, she didn't dare to show it, and when she returned to the room, she couldn't help but throw herself on the bed and cry......

The maid brought from her mother's house, Qingmei came back and said, "Miss, don't be like this!"

"You go out! Let me dig out the grievances in my heart!"

Qingmei had to stand outside the door.

Each room went home with fruits and food, and Su Wu's mother walked towards Su Wu's room with the support of two maids.

Qingmei saw that she hurriedly came in and said, "Miss, the old woman is here!"

"It's just right to come!" she continued to cry.

The mother-in-law entered the door with the help of the maid, looked at the appearance of the daughter-in-law, and persuaded: "Daughter-in-law, mother-in-law knows your heart, don't cry!

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she stopped crying, got up and wiped her tears, and choked up: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, please, sit!"

"Don't sit down, I'm tired too!" she said to her maid, "Xiaoju, you stay here at night and take care of the young lady with Qingmei!"

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "No, no need! It's all my fault, let your old man worry about it! Mother-in-law, don't worry, I won't cry, cry!" She stopped crying.

The old woman went out with the support of the maid, her tears also welled up in her eyes, her legs were weak, and she stumbled under her feet, Xiao Ju hurriedly supported her and asked, "Old woman, what's wrong with you?"

She shook her head. But she was very uneasy, it had been almost four months since her son was on the mission, and there was no news yet, could she not worry about her mother...... But she wants to come back again, maybe it's good news if there's no news, maybe she'll be back soon! Thinking of this, she took a strong step.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hudihara and Lin, heavy snow suddenly falls when it is dark, and this year's autumn in the grassland is too short.

It was dark and the temperature dropped dramatically. Su Wu put all his clothes on his body, stood in the flying snow outside the door of the post house, folded his hands in the direction of Chang'an, and silently prayed in his heart: I wish the Han Dynasty a prosperous national fortune! I wish my elderly mother good health! The whole family is safe......

Then, the soldiers who came with him also came out one after another, standing with him and praying in their hearts to face Chang'an, wishing the safety of the Han family thousands of miles away...... Soon, a sculpture of a man stood with his hands folded and facing the east.

Wei Lu received the report of the watchman and was able to cure their actions, and immediately met with Shan Yu to discuss: organize the princes of all departments to interrogate Su Wu overnight and persuade him to surrender.

Fortunately, Shan Yu obeyed Wei Lu's methods, learned the mechanism of the Han Dynasty, and set up the homes of the princes in Wangting Hala and Lin, which was convenient for Da Shan Yu to lead and command.

Su Wu was taken to the court, and he looked at all this and thought to himself, his life might be gone tonight. He saluted Shan Yu without being humble or arrogant and asked, "I don't know what Da Shan did to let Su Wu come late at night?"

And Hou Da Shan Yu asked: "Envoy Su, has your body recovered recently?"

"Rely on a big order to be blessed!"

Wei Lu asked in a threatening manner: "Da Shan Yu asked you, has your body ever replied?"

Su Wu immediately replied: "In this court, is it only the main matter, or are you the main person in charge?"

Wei Lu stood silently.

And Marquis Da Shan Yu asked Su Wu proudly: "Envoy Su, I admire your character, and I want you to be here with Ben Dan Yu to do things for our Huns! What do you think?"

Su Wu pretended not to understand and said, "What, how?"

Wei Lu came out and said, "It's to tell you to surrender!"

"Let me be like you?"

"Can't you?"

"No way!"

"You see that I Weilu, in the past, I turned my back on the Han court and returned to the Xiongnu. Now I have won the great grace of Da Shan Yu, given me the title of prince, divided a large area of land and grassland, owned tens of thousands of slaves, horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock full of mountains. He said to Su Wu.

Su Wu didn't even look at him.

He continued: "I now have a happy wife and children, so rich! You, Su Wujun, today to do things for the Hu people, with your character and knowledge, tomorrow will be even more majestic than my Wei Lu!"

Su Wu still ignored him and didn't react.

Wei Lu said again: "Su Wujun, if you don't surrender today, you will become fertilizer for the grass tomorrow!"

"Phew!" Su Wu spat at him with disdain.

And Marquis Da Dan looked at Su Wu's meaning, and was afraid that it would be the same as that day more than 20 days ago, so he was embarrassed and said: "Military advisor, let Su Wujun go back and think about it!

After retreating from the court, Shan Yu left Wei Lu and said: "Military advisor, tomorrow, you will deal with it personally."

Su Wu, how is it?"

"Shan Yu, this" he was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sure you can do it!"
