Looking at the knife around his neck, Qiyun stretched out his two fingers, flicked the back of the knife, made a clanging sound, and said indifferently: "The blade is sharp, it's easy for me Liu Yizhen to have a head." It's just that if I die, it will be a big loss to you, the eldest prince. My people are gone, how do you convince everyone that it was the eldest prince who caught Liu Yizhen, the general of Anxi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty? And how can I ask for merit and reward from your Xia King? ”

"It doesn't matter, your people don't go, just take your head, and ask your father for a reward."

"Did the eldest prince ever think that cutting off Yizhen's head was just a dead thing? If I am kept alive, I only need to be able to speak. When I see them, I can speak to King Xia about how generous and virtuous the eldest prince is to people. ”

Hearing the words "generosity, benevolence and virtue", Helian had a cold smile on his face.

Qiyun clearly understood that the Huns were famous for their brutal killings, and the sentence "generosity, benevolence and virtue" was slapped on the horse's legs.

She changed her words and said: "In front of King Xia and the ministers, I can try my best to show how brave and invincible the eldest prince is, and I can add a lot to the eldest prince's exploits." The Han people have a saying, called 'all mouths are gold'. The mouth of Youyou can be golden, and when others say a good word about you, it is more true and credible, and it is worth more than ten sentences you say. ”

When Helian heard this, his heart moved. Helian Bobo, the king of Xia, had five sons, all of whom were powerful and capable of fighting, especially the third prince Helian Chang, who posed the greatest threat to his crown prince. On this expedition, Helian Chang was sent by King Xia to guard Tongguan. It is reported that Helian Chang has captured Zhu Lingshi, the general of the Jin army, and his credit is not small.

He thought, Liu Yizhen was held by me, if he was presented to his father. He is willing to speak well for me in front of my father and the ministers, and the position of the crown prince is not a little more certain for this prince? Helian didn't understand the classics, thinking that "all mouths are golden" was a good thing, he regarded the gold as gold, thinking that Qiyun could plate his piece of pig iron into gold.

Thinking of this, Helian took the saber and said to Qiyun: "It turned out that I was abrupt, I am a rough person, and I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." When Ming'er sees my father, Liu Gongzi will definitely say a few good words for me. As he spoke, he stretched out his giant palm and patted Qiyun's shoulder, and Qiyun's body sank.

Qiyun bowed and said, "Prince, it's easy to say!" Along the way, he also has to take care of the eldest prince. ”

"This prince saw that Liu Gongzi had red lips and white teeth, and he looked like a girl. Do all you men in the south look like this? Helian sat across from her, his eyes fixed on her.

Seeing that Helian seemed to be reluctant, Qiyun smiled at him and said, "The eldest prince said that he was laughing. If the eldest prince helps Yizhen to survive this calamity, he will pass safely in front of your father. In the future, the two of us will be together for a long time, and we are not in a hurry at this time. ”

Helian heard that what she said was reasonable, so he stopped pestering, and after glancing at her fiercely, he got up and lifted the curtain and went out of the tent.

Qiyun saw the move, and resolved the crisis in front of him in a few words. This Helian is a reckless man who is not very meticulous, and what about the famous Xia King Helian Bobo? He would never be so foolish. How can I get through Helian Bobo's hurdle safely? Qiyun tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, thinking about countermeasures.

On the second day, Helian led his generals to escort Qiyun and others all the way to Chang'an. When the road reached a steep and steep slope, Helian raised his right hand and ordered the team to survey carefully. His subordinates knew that there was an accident in front of the road, and they walked slowly and cautiously.

Everyone looked ahead, and it turned out that there were some sporadic Jin army soldiers who had fled here on the mountainside, and they were climbing to the top of the mountain in order to escape for their lives. Among them, a middle-aged Jin army general saw the Xia army coming, and sped up his speed to climb up the mountain. At this time, there was no one from above, but several spears and halberds were thrown down at him from the top of the mountain.

Helian and the others looked at the scene in front of them, felt so strange, and looked up at Lu. I saw that on the hillside, some Jin army deserters had climbed up first, and the probe saw the Jin army general, who did not help him, but kept throwing weapons at him, and laughed loudly: "Mao Xiuzhi, old man Mao, when you usually bully us, you would never have imagined that you have today!" You are at the bottom of the mountain, obediently waiting to be a prisoner of the Hu people. Ha Lu Ha ......"

In order to avoid the guns, the general of the Jin army was unsteady under his feet, and fell from the mountainside to the ground, embarrassed. Seeing this scene, Helian was overjoyed, and ordered people to surround the Jin army general and those Jin soldiers who had not had time to climb the hillside. Then he led his men to rush up the hillside to capture the Jin deserters on the top of the mountain.

Qiyun, who was at the back of the team, saw that the general of the Jin army who fell to the ground was so familiar, he leaned forward curiously, looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this person was actually Sima Mao Xiuzhi of the Jin army. Looking up again, the Jin soldiers who betrayed the main general on the mountain were scattered as birds and beasts, and they had long since disappeared.

Helian saw that the hillside was steep, and those Jin soldiers had already scattered and fled, so he only said "poor Kou Mo chase" and ordered the troops to withdraw. Knowing that it was the Jin army Sima Mao Xiuzhi who was captured, Helian was overjoyed and said: "It seems that God helped me, and I didn't have to blow the dust, I sent Liu Yizhen, and now I have arrested the Jin army Sima." Soldiers, hold it for me. ”

When Mao Xiuzhi heard the words "Liu Yizhen", he raised his head in surprise and carefully identified Qiyun. Mao Xiuzhi had no weapons, he was exhausted, and when he saw that the enemy was outnumbered, he was captured, and his eyes looked at Qiyun, full of sad questions.

Qiyun nodded to him slightly, and Mao Xiu's heart knew that Liu Yizhen should escape unharmed. He was so worried that he put his life and death out of the way, and although he was captured by the Xia army, he looked calm.

On the way to Chang'an, when Qiyun took advantage of Xia Jun's inattention, he stole a gap and quietly asked Mao Xiuzhi why he didn't escape from Guanzhong, and how could he be so embarrassed?

Mao Xiuzhi sighed: "When we arrived at Tongguan, we thought we could escape from death, but we didn't want Helian Changzheng, the third prince of Helian Bobo, to lead an army to intercept and defend Tongguan. Na Helian Chang is well commanded and brave and good at fighting. We couldn't break through, and almost all of us were wiped out, so I had to find another way out to escape. When I arrived at the mountain range in front, I saw that the Xia army was coming again. I tried to climb the hill to escape, but the things that climbed the hill first hated me for punishing them justly, so they took the opportunity to take revenge on me. So just like that, he became a prisoner of Xia Jun's subordinates. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but take a sip and hate: "A group of wolf-hearted things." ”

Qiyun secretly thought that in the troubled times, a group of villains wanted to cause their generals to fall into the hands of the enemy because of their personal grudges, and they did not hesitate to lose his life. couldn't help but feel the impermanence of life and the horror of human nature, Qiyun could only comfort him. The two shook their heads and sighed, only to feel helpless and sad.

On the way to Chang'an, I kept seeing severed limbs and wreckage, and blood flowed like a river. The vast Guanzhong Plain was full of the corpses of Jin soldiers, and the bright red blood stained the mountains, rivers and the earth red. Most of them were fatally killed by a sharp blade, and their deaths were horrible, and they only felt heartbroken and grief-stricken at the moment.

The blood was thick, and the crows were everywhere. Qiyun's heart was gloomy, and he lamented: "Troubled times! Real troubled times! I didn't know when it would be over. I don't know when people won't have to face this sword shadow and iron-blooded conquest? ”
