Chapter Ninety-One: Anu

"What good food are you hiding on you?"

"Huh?" Chu Hao was stunned when he heard this, now we are fighting a war, we are a hostile country! The soldiers of the two countries rushed to the battlefield, and as soon as they clashed, they directly asked people what they wanted to eat, was there anything wrong?

Chu Hao's heart complained frantically, and his movements were still very neat to avoid another attack by the big man. He can see that this grandmaster, who was called Anu by the Hun prince, seems to have a little ...... brain Unfavorable cables. He can hide easily now, also because Anu doesn't regard him as an enemy, probably really wants to find something good to eat from him?

The delicious food on his body, only the sweets that he took out for fear of the third and fourth children stealing it, the remaining little bit of honey preserved meat, and a little bit of honey bean curd. He looked at Anu carefully, calculating the possibility of escaping from Anu's hands, which seemed to be very slim.

Among the Zhou people, Chu Hao is already considered to be a burly one; But compared to Anu, the whole person is like a teenager who has not yet grown up. However, although Anu is stronger, he is not clumsy at all in his actions, but very agile.

Seeing Chu Hao dodge his hand again and again, Anu couldn't help but feel a little funny, and grinned: "Child, interesting." ”

What a ghost, kid! His two dogs have grown up, how can he still be a child! The corners of Chu Hao's mouth twitched when he was said, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Suddenly, Anu stretched out his hand without warning, and almost when Chu Hao saw it, that hand had already reached his eyes.

"Huh?" The hand fell short again, Anu looked at Chu Hao a little strangely, but saw Chu Hao attacking him for the first time, he subconsciously reached out to block, but saw a trace of the reflection of the blade in Chu Hao's hand, and immediately changed his palm to a claw, and saw that he was about to catch it, but the blade in the opponent's hand stretched an inch.

Insidious!

But Anu was not afraid, and pinched the blade with only two fingers, making it difficult to enter......

"Huh?" It doesn't feel right, how is it sticky?

Taking advantage of Anu's slight stunnedness, Chu Hao ran out of the smoke and soon disappeared.

Anu raised his hand, lowered his head and sniffed, and put it in his mouth: "Sweet." ”

The taste of half a palm-sized dried meat is gone before he can taste it, Anu wants to chase it again, but where is there still Chu Hao's shadow?

Chu Hao cautiously made a big circle before returning to the tent. His hands were cleaned from the honey, and he sat on the ground and let out a long sigh. I still have too much water as a grandmaster, and it seems that after this battle is over, I will have to go to the master and take a few beatings.

This fight was fought to the death. Not only did he take a piece of dried meat to fight the enemy, but even the dried meat and dried bean curd hidden on his body fell off......

These days, sugar is so expensive, and honey is generally not available. Ruan Bai bought a wild honeycomb that someone took out, and he didn't want to eat it, so he made high-calorie food to supplement Chu Hao's calories.

Oh, King Pingxi, relying on his status as an elder, snatched some and packed some for people to send to the princess.

King Pingxi smelled the aroma of marinade wafting from the cauldron, and his mind was a little unfocused: "Xiao Er, the dried tofu you made today is salty?" ”

"Ahh Ruan Bai replied absentmindedly, not knowing what King Pingxi was asking.

"Why don't you do what you did last time?" The sweet meat and dried tofu are quite delicious.

"Ahh

"No honey?" A small place is a small place, and you can't even buy honey.

Ruan Bai finally came back to his senses, but he heard a honey: "Ah, it's gone." Go back and see if there are any beekeepers, and buy land to grow pasture at next year's price...... Oh, alfalfa, just enough to put bees...... Can beeswax be sold to pharmacies, honey sold directly or something else? Let's keep the royal jelly for my own use......"

King Pingxi heard him speak quieter and quieter, and knew that Ruan Bai was distracted again, so he pursed his lips angrily, and turned back to stare at all kinds of information again. As the king of Pingxi, he was very busy with affairs, and he originally came here to see the stupid son, plus the younger son; Unexpectedly, as soon as the youngest son came, he became a daughter-in-law, and General Cao also threw the entire Shunyang Pass to him. Now that he can't leave Shunyang Pass, it doesn't mean that the affairs don't need to be handled.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked up at Ruan Bai and sighed: The youngest son is really capable!

Look, since the youngest son came, the originally messy housekeeping was instantly smoothed out, and all kinds of supplies were quickly replenished. Now that the grain is harvested, there is basically no problem with logistics, and even the war has been smoothed out.

The Huns had not moved for three or four days, and it did not look like they were gathering a large army. Speaking of which, the Huns should not have much to assemble.

Roughly calculated......

"How many of the Huns are we going to kill?"

Ruan Bai replied without thinking: "When guarding the pass, six thousand two hundred and thirty-four were killed, General Cao's side killed seven thousand six hundred and fifty-seven, and the common people killed one hundred and ninety-three, a total of fourteen thousand and eighty-four. There were another one hundred and sixty-seven captives. ”

These numbers are nothing in previous years. At that time, there were not many natural disasters in the Great Zhou, and the national strength was strong. But over the years, with the outbreak of various problems and all kinds of heavenly justice, even with such a record, they could not go out of the city to pursue the Huns, let alone cripple the Huns at one time.

However, the Hun apparently could not get up for a short time, so he could return to the small kitchen of the inn to read the official documents.

Ruan Bai made a pot of braised tofu and wanted to put it on the table, but saw that King Pingxi occupied the table tightly.

"Dad, why don't you work in the General's Mansion?" Even if you don't go to the General's Mansion, you can be in the post house, or you can go to the small hall next to it, why crowd in the kitchen?

King Pingxi motioned to Ruan Bai to give him the chopsticks: "The General's Mansion is not home. "Besides, the youngest son tossed and ate, how could he, the father, not be the first to cheer? Well, this one is pretty tasty too.

"Put this plate down, remember to send some to your mother." Commanded by King Pingxi.

"Oh." There was really no place to put it on the table, so he could only go to the room and move a few flowers to put on the side, and poured herbal tea for him, instructing, "Put it here, be careful not to touch it." Don't eat too much tofu. ”

King Pingxi didn't care at first, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ruan Bai carrying a familiar big plate out, and when he turned his head, there was a small plate left on the flower table, and the dried tofu in it was not enough to count in a slap.

"Humph!" He is a dignified prince, he doesn't have anything to eat, and two pieces of dried tofu are rare!

Ruan Bai, the child's adopted daughter-in-law, went directly to the small hall next door with a large plate, which had been requisitioned by the Pingxi Palace. The four of them sat around a small square table, writing hard and doing their homework with their best friends.

But people didn't think it was bitter, and one of them even shook his head and hummed a little song. The others followed with their feet and clapped their feet, just like in the teahouse shop.

The small hall is not big, but there are clean mats at the bottom, ice basins in the corners, and large windows. The room is clean, cool and translucent, and there are delicious tea and snacks; Much more comfortable than in the palace!

In this environment, traveling on business is not hard at all. Originally, when I came to the border pass, I thought it was a bitter cold place, and when I came, I wanted to bring all the food with me, but after I came, I saw that the small life was more nourishing than they lived in Xijing. After they came, they found out that the owner of Bailifang was here!

It's not cheap to buy things at all, but you can buy them here made by the owner! The boss is still the righteous son of the future Pingxi Palace! How expensive this handmade thing is!

Look at people who don't have any shelves at all, and they can cook all kinds of delicious food!

Ruan Bai didn't quite understand why every time he came in, they looked at him with such sparkling eyes. Didn't you just make more things for Chu Hao?

"If you don't eat well, sue me later." He's got it better and redone it.

"Okay."

"The little boy makes it delicious."

"yes, we've never eaten anything so good in Nishikyo."

"If it weren't for the little boy, we wouldn't have this mouthful."

These are all civil officials, and they are very straightforward, one after another, and they sound very sincere. Whatever is served, it can be cleaned up quickly.

Being a cook is full of fulfillment...... Rub, who is the cook! No, after this stubble, he has to recruit some people to come in. Usually just he and Chu Hao forget it, but now that there are so many people, if he stays for a long time, he has to recruit a few temporary workers.

Ruan Bai thought about it, and began to wander again. When he came back to his senses, he looked at his full plan and realized, "It seems that I can't stop being busy for three years." "There are so many things to do, and there is always a lot of hurry. Speaking of which, why hasn't Chu Hao come back yet? Doesn't it mean that the negotiations with the Huns in the capital are getting smoother and smoother?

As the war situation became more and more powerful on the side of the Zhou people, the Hun envoys, who were originally very tough on the Great Zhou, became softer and softer. There are also the doves of the imperial court who have softened, but they still advocate letting Princess Min go to make peace, oh, now they also advocate letting the princess of the Huns send it over.

At that time, as soon as this condition was proposed, the Huns felt that there was nothing unacceptable. In a word, the daughter of the Great Khan is not his own daughter. Besides, the Huns Khan had so many daughters, and even a few slaves, so he dressed up and gave a princess a title to the Zhou people. The living conditions of Da Zhou are much better than those of the Huns, and it is definitely a blessing to marry.

As a result, the prince said very bluntly: "The crown princess and I have sons and daughters, and we don't need to take any more concubines." ”

It has been four years since the prince got married at the age of eighteen, and he and the princess had two sons and a daughter, and now the princess still has a big belly. The key is that the crown princess's surname is Zheng, the daughter of the Zheng family in Jiangnan. In recent years, the disasters of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been continuously sustained, and the support of the Zheng family in Jiangnan is definitely a lot. The gate valve that has been inherited for thousands of years, the power of the clan is all over the government and the opposition, rich in the world, and every year the soup porridge repairs bridges and paves roads, and all kinds of good deeds continue.

Besides, if you want to add people to the prince's mansion, that's also the princess's business, what are these people planning? Of course, if the crown prince agrees on the spot, or the emperor agrees at all, then the crown princess has no choice. Now that the prince does not agree, some of those who think that they are still rare black gauze hats have just kept silent.

The emperor directly refused: "I am old, I dare not delay the flowering period of the princess of your country." ”

The Hun envoy still didn't give up: "The second prince? ”

"The second prince is only fourteen, and he is still a child."

Well, it seems that it is impossible to get married, and if you want to continue talking, you can't open your mouth like before. These days, the capital is just like a festival, the good news from the border is frequent, and the Zhou people have not been so proud for many years, and they can't wait to put up the lights!

Then, they really put on the lights.

The Great Prince of the Huns was captured alive!

When they heard the news, the Hun envoys were all stunned. It's definitely their big Zhou dialect that is not good, these Zhou people are talking about gods, and they can't understand it at all! Could it be that their eldest prince was captured alive?!

These fish-lipped people don't know, don't they know yet? The eldest prince is greedy for money, lustful and tyrannical, but his own skills are not bad at all, his own martial arts are close to the grandmaster, and he is still a condor archer who is not discounted at all.

Well, even if the eldest prince is not up to the task, there are so many masters around him?

The Great Khan has become increasingly jealous of the Great Prince in recent years, mostly because of the growing power of the Great Prince. Of the four tribes with the best horse farms in the steppe, one has completely surrendered to the Great Prince, and the other has been half crooked; There were also two or three medium-sized tribes who were also fans of the Great Prince.

The other princes are not promising, but in fact, they are all under the suppression of the eldest prince, and they are gradually becoming like this. Most of those who have a chance to make a living have already grown grass on their graves. They didn't want the eldest prince to become a great khan in the future, and then a hard-hearted little prince finally appeared, and the little prince himself was powerful, but unfortunately it was clicked last year.

When the eldest prince goes on expeditions, he has always liked to have elite soldiers and strong generals, combining the strength of several tribes, plus the two thousand personal soldiers under his command, where can he go. What's more, there are several well-known masters and a real grandmaster by the eldest prince's side!

In this case, the eldest prince will be captured alive? Are you kidding!

After figuring it out, the Hun envoy stabilized and said to the deputy envoy and the others: "Most of them are the tactics of these Zhou people, who want us to mess up our own position, maybe they even made up the previous good news." The more he said, the more certain he became, "The Zhou people were beaten by us last year to cry dad and call mother, and last year's big set was ......" The grassland is vast, and there are more than a dozen similar big sets. He suddenly remembered that the little prince of their family was hacked to death at the big gathering last year, and quickly muttered two sentences, "So many goods and slaves brought from the Great Zhou. In less than a year, how could the Zhou people become so capable of fighting? ”

"Even if you can fight, you will never catch the eldest prince!"

"That's right, it's absolutely impossible for the eldest prince to be caught by the Zhou people!"

That's right, the eldest prince was not caught by the Zhou people, he was caught by the Anu of half the Zhou people.

Chu Hao was almost scared to death by the eldest prince who threw him into the tent in the middle of the night, and the two dogs were also scared. One person and three dogs are all extremely vigilant, but they didn't find it.

Anu, who was in his thirties, squatted in front of the tent, pointed to the Hun prince, who did not know what to do, and asked, "Take this and exchange it for yesterday's meat." ”

"Huh?" Chu Hao was still shocked to be found at this moment, and he didn't know who was thrown in at all.

The third and fourth seemed to have discovered a great threat, bowed down, and assumed a defensive posture with great inwardness.

Anu glanced at it: "Yo, two divine mastiffs!" ”

The third and fourth took two steps back, gritting their teeth and clamping their tails.

Chu Hao rolled his eyes, no matter what, this one didn't seem to have any intention of attacking; Otherwise, if he had attacked directly just now, they would probably have been directly explained here.

He scratched his head and asked, "You say, exchange this person for honey and dried meat?" ”

"Honey preserves? Well. Anu nodded again and again, thought for a moment and emphasized, "I want a lot of meat, meat as heavy as him!" ”

It was very dark in the tent, and Chu Hao couldn't see who this person was, so he asked Anu's opinion: "I can't see who this person is, do you mind if I light a candle?" ”

Anu said he didn't mind: "Didn't you want to kill him that day?" ”

Chu Hao was startled, and his hand that lit the candle shook slightly.

"The last time you brought me meat." Anu thought that Chu Hao had forgotten about it, so he deliberately pointed it out.

The candles were lit, the tent was lit, and he wiped his face, thinking that his disguise was seamless, and he didn't expect to be seen through by others. He didn't look at the Huns first, but took out a food box and put it on the ground: "The honey sauce is gone, and now there are only braised pork and dried tofu." ”

Anu snorted, didn't use chopsticks, grabbed it directly, and after taking a bite, the big piece of meat in his fist quickly disappeared into his mouth, and when he ate dried tofu, he had time to speak, and he was quite disgusted: "It's not sweet." Stretching out his hand, "Anything else?" ”

Chu Hao didn't care if there was anything at this time, he was already stunned by the people who threw him in.

"This is your eldest prince!"

"Hmm." Anum nodded stunned and shook his head again, "It's not our eldest prince, he's the eldest prince of the Huns." I'm Zhou! ”

"Are you from Zhou?" Do they have such a good work in Da Zhou? Besides, how can they have to do it to put a real grandmaster next to the Hun Prince? With this manpower, it will be possible to directly kill the Hun Great Khan.

"Hmm. My mother said that my mother said that I am from Zhou! Anu nodded affirmatively, smiled stupidly for a while, and gradually lowered his head again, "The Huns killed my mother." ”

Anu's previous memories had been chaotic. He only remembered that he was bitter as a child, he was always hungry, not full, and cold. Only his mother is the best for him. Later, when his mother died, no one treated him well. Sometimes he was so hungry that he could go and grab food from the animals, and he could eat insects and grass roots.

When he was a little older, he was picked up by the eldest prince. At first, the eldest prince didn't treat him very well. He only remembered that when the eldest prince was angry, the whip that fell on him hurt so much. Then he began to get stronger, and the eldest prince stopped beating him, but he still didn't have a good time.

At last year's big gathering, he wanted to buy a piece of flower cloth, but he didn't have a penny on him.

"Your Highness, Anu wants a flower cloth."

"What are you going to do with the cloth? Which girl do you like? ”

"Nope. Wear it for your mother. "The girls all wore beautiful floral skirts, and his mother was so beautiful, but she always had the impression of a gray dress. His mother wore a floral cloth skirt, and she must look better than all the girls in the big set.

"Huh? That? ”

He will always remember the look and tone with which the eldest prince spoke. He couldn't say it, he just felt uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he wanted to screw the eldest prince's head off!

But at that time, he endured it and secretly made up his mind that when he found out where Da Zhou was, he would kill the eldest prince and go home!

Now, there is a Zhou person in front of him. This week, people are still delicious~

Seeing that Chu Hao didn't speak for a long time, Anu felt a little apprehensive in his heart. The eldest prince is usually amazing, isn't he worth his heavy meat in Da Zhou? Why don't you change it in half?

Chu Hao himself can pretend to be and has a set of methods for recognizing people, whether it is real or a stand-in, he only needs to check a few details to see at a glance. You can't be wrong, this person is really the Great Prince of the Huns.

At this moment, Chu Hao felt that the whole world was illusory, and when he looked up and saw Anu, he was not nervous or afraid, and took out the rations for the third and fourth children and distributed them to Anu.

His dog's food is even better than that of ordinary people, except for the slightly lighter taste, there is nothing that cannot be given away. Anyway, people don't know.

The third and fourth children watched their rations disappear, and they dared not speak out. The third child stretched out his paw and pushed Chu Hao's back shoulder, but Chu Hao didn't move.

The two dogs are getting picky eaters. The prey that was brought had to be cleaned and cooked, and if it was a little dirty, it should not be eaten, and if it was not delicious, it should not be eaten.

Chu Hao ignored the third child and said to Anu: "It's okay to change meat, but not now." You have to come with me to Da Zhou. ”

"Okay." Anu didn't think there was a problem, he was going to Da Zhou, "Do you want to leave now?" ”

"Not now, we'll have to wait."

"How long will it take?" You won't lie to him, will you? The Huns are old and bad, and they always lie to him. I wonder if Zhou Ren will lie to him too?

"Wait until ......," Chu Hao gestured at the location of the camp, "Kill them all, and you can go back." ”

Anu squatted on the ground and was silent for a long time before he frowned and shook his head: "The two of us, we can't beat it." He looked at the third child who pounced on Chu Hao's back again, and continued to shake his head, "With two mastiffs, it won't work." ”

Chu Hao wiped his face: "I didn't think so. "The real grandmaster really dares to think. Two men and two dogs, go and fight a whole cavalry army......

"Three days at the latest, we'll go." It is estimated that the Huns will be able to find that the eldest prince is missing when it dawns tomorrow, and I hope that General Cao can catch up with it.

Three days? Anu snapped his fingers and nodded, "Okay." ”

"But we can go and kill the Huns now." Condor shooters or something, it's too much of a threat to people during the day.

"Okay." Anu immediately stepped out of the tent and galloped towards the Hun camp.

More positive than yourself! Chu Hao followed Anu's back closely: "By the way, I don't know what your name is?" Hello, my name is Chu Hao. ”

"Anu ...... No, my mother said that my name was Fang Yu, the feather of the wings. Fang Yu touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "The nickname is Mao Mao." ”

Chu Hao felt that he was too simple to believe in this Fang Yu, was it really because the other party was too honest?
