Zhang Qian walked in front, the Hun soldiers held scimitars, and walked behind, and the two of them left the big tent dozens of steps.

In the blizzard, there was a murmur of "whine-woo-hoo" everywhere, and the other sounds around it were almost negligible.

Zhang Qian took advantage of the opportunity to cover the wind and snow with his left sleeve, and glanced at the Hun soldiers behind him with the rest of his eyes.

Then, he slowly reached into his bosom with his right hand and pulled out a dagger, his only weapon.

Under the cover of the wind and snow, the Hun soldiers did not notice the abnormality.

Zhang Qian looked at the snow not far away and deliberately stepped on it hard.

As expected, he slipped!

"Boom!"

Leave a man's mark on the snow.

The Hun soldier stepped forward in confusion, inserted the scimitar into the scabbard, and stretched out his left hand, intending to help it.

Who would have thought that when he just stretched out his left hand, Zhang Qian turned his head violently.

The dagger comes out, targeting the left chest.

After the Hun soldiers saw it, their brains suddenly went blank, their pupils contracted suddenly, and it was too late to dodge.

In the next second, he screamed, "Ahhh ”

"Poof!" Pillars of blood gushed out, staining the white earth red.

"Sting!"

After Zhang Qian's dagger was stabbed in, it was also rotated vigorously, making him die completely.

The ribs were cut with daggers, but the piercing "click" sound was muffled by the wind and snow.

With an unbelievable gaze, the Hun soldier lost his life.

Zhang Qian took a long breath, pulled out his dagger, stood up, and sighed, "Han and Xiongnu are incompatible, brother, I'm sorry." ”

Not having time to dispose of the body, he hurried to his place of residence.

In the ice and snow, this corpse was gradually covered by the wind and snow, and the blood on the ground was also covered.

Zhang Qian gasped and rushed into the house, his wife and son, who were waiting at home, were frightened by the blood he was all over.

His wife's pupils constricted, and she lost her voice: "Husband, ......"

"Ma'am, I'm sorry." Zhang Qian knelt on the ground, tears rolled in his eyes, and kowtowed to his Hun wife, "Qian has been in the Huns for ten years, ten years, dreaming of sleeping at night, the life of the Han Gong, dare not forget." Now is the opportunity, and the husband has decided to go to the Western Regions again! ”

Zhang Qian stood up, looked at his tearful wife and frightened crying son, ruthlessly, turned around, and closed his eyes in pain, "If Zhang Qian is fortunate enough not to die when he goes to the Western Regions, after returning to the Han Dynasty, he will definitely pick up his wife and son and return to the Han Dynasty!" ”

He had already decided that he would be compensated for this ruthless crime in the future.

Even if marrying a Xiongnu woman would be blamed and insulted by the Han court, he would admit it!

Be loyal to Your Majesty, be kind to your wife and children!

This is his integrity!

The expected retention did not materialize, and his wife knew that she could not keep it.

So, he just hugged Zhang Qian from behind, burst into tears, and said softly: "Husband, even if you go, I will raise the child."

Zhang Qian didn't dare to look back, he just nodded to indicate that he knew, he was afraid that if he looked back, he wouldn't be able to leave.

He sobbed a few times, tears in his eyes, "Madame, son, take care!" I'll be back! ”

With that, he picked up the scepter that had been repaired a long time ago, rushed out of the tent, and disappeared into the blizzard.

……

Stables

Tangyi's father with more than a dozen Han people has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing that Zhang Qian had arrived, he hurriedly greeted him and gave his hand, "Zhang Gong, all the Hun soldiers guarding have been put down, and they have not taken their lives for many years, but only broke their right leg hamstrings and right hand tendons. ”

Zhang Qian nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Just pick and choose!" Let him become a wasted person and unable to participate in the war, and we are not ashamed of the Han and the Han Gong. ”

"Han Gong, there are nineteen brothers here, because the wind and snow came too suddenly, and the other brothers have not been contacted. Shall we go to meet us, or will we go directly to the Western Regions? ”

Zhang Qian looked at the group of Han people who followed him to the envoy and were already full of vicissitudes, and his voice was loud, "Respond!" My generation, we left Chang'an together, were detained by the Huns together, and went to the Western Regions together! ”

"Zhang Gong is righteous!"

"We are willing to follow Zhang Gong to the death!"

Zhang Qian's words resonated with everyone!

Staying in the Huns and enduring humiliation for decades, isn't it just for this moment?

If they abandon their brothers and leave alone, what face will they have in the future to face their brothers who were born and died?

Even if you die, I am afraid that there will be no peace after death.

If you want to go, let's go together!

Zhang Qian looked around and shouted loudly: "Is the food and drinking water ready?"

The crowd shouted, "All together! ”

Zhang Qian waved his hand, "Get on the horse, surround the horses in the center, and drive them away!" Meet the rest of the brothers! ”

In the ten years of the Xiongnu, they had already learned the method of driving horses.

Although it is difficult to drive in snow, it is not a problem to ensure that most of the horses follow.

Zhang Qian opened the stable, took the lead in getting on the horse, picked up the whip, and rushed out.

"Drive!"

The rest of the Han people looked at each other and laughed, and after driving the horses out, they all mounted their horses and fled.

"Drive! Drive! ”

"Gada! Gada! Gada! ”

The sound of the horses running finally left a different sound on the snowy day.

……

Big Tent

Wan Qi Bo and Helian An felt the strong tremor coming from the ground, glanced at each other, and rushed out of the big tent in unison.

Seeing that there was no one outside the tent, Wan Qibo's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted: "What about people? Someone! What about people! ”

Suddenly, Helian vaguely saw an "object" in the distance, moving towards the big tent, so he pulled out his scimitar without saying a word and walked over.

"Chief! Oh no! ”

"What's going on?"

The Huns wailed bitterly, "A group of Han people broke the hamstrings and tendons of the brothers, snatched the horses, and ran away!" ”

"The Han ran away?" Before Helian could react, Wan Qian reacted first.

His pupils contracted suddenly, and he immediately ran towards Zhang Qian's residence.

"Brother Helian come with me, something big will happen!"

"Got it." Helian An glanced at the soldiers on the ground, and did not help, but followed Wan Qi Bo first.

The horse that the tribe gave to Shan Yu was robbed, which is a big deal!

If it is not handled well, just blame it, and the whole tribe will be buried for it!

Two minutes later,

Wan Qian Bobo walked out of Zhang Qian's residence, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Helian, I will immediately take someone to chase after you, don't rest for you, immediately go to Shan Yuting to explain to Shan Yu." If this matter is not handled well, the tribe will definitely be implicated! ”

He stomped his feet angrily, "Damn Zhang Qian! It's been ten years, why do you still want to run? Doesn't it say that Han people value friendship? Why did this guy abandon his wife and children! Gallop in the snow, ruthless enough! ”

Putting the words down, he immediately arranged for someone to wake up the sleeping Hun soldiers, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Helian An, so he took a dozen or so people to the stable, took out the remaining horses, and chased them along the horseshoe marks that had not completely disappeared on the snow.
