About half a month ago, King Shou said that he was sick, and the affairs of Youzhou were handed over to the prefect of Youzhou.

On the second day, the Xianbei people waited outside the capital with the sign of King Shou.

They brought with them large tributary gifts and expressed their willingness to be vassals.

However, the condition is that you must marry a princess of Daqi.

After the discussion of the ministers, they always thought that something had happened in Youzhou.

Now that people have arrived at the gate of the capital, it is better to let them in to see what their purpose is.

So Prince Xianbei brought people into Beijing and completely obeyed all the tests and arrangements of Daqi.

In order to entertain them, the emperor held a banquet and invited many dignitaries to participate, but many families did not dare to bring their daughters.

Without the ladies of the capital at the banquet, it is simply a slap in the face of the emperor.

In the end, it was Wei Ziying who came forward and took the initiative to let Wei Qinglin enter the palace.

With the Wei family taking the lead, the Liang family naturally couldn't lag behind, so Liang Pingshu attended the banquet.

Later, Pei Meiren stepped forward to make friends and drank Liang Pingshu's tea and died of poisoning.

Then Pei Yu asked the emperor to uphold justice and not make trouble in front of outsiders, but in the court.

The news naturally couldn't be hidden, and Jiang Wuyang couldn't help but enter the palace and wanted to confront Pei Yu face to face.

Not wanting to be at the gate of the palace, Jiang Wuyang was stabbed by Pei Yu's people and fell unconscious.

The result of the investigation was that Pei Yu's people were dropped, and the person who assassinated Jiang Wuyang was someone else.

Later, Liang Zhao and Liang Hui were poisoned one after another, and things became complicated.

Su Huo was ordered to be in danger, but Zhou Yi had a miscarriage at home, so Su Huo resigned and transferred the investigation to Hei Jiren.

At this time, it could only be Liang Pingshu who supported the Liang family, running back and forth, and actually fell into the eyes of Prince Xianbei.

He asked to marry Liang Pingshu.

The emperor didn't say he agreed, but he didn't say he didn't agree.

"When I received Shuo'er's news, the emperor still didn't speak, and now more than ten days have passed, and I don't know what the capital has become again."

Mrs. Lei San was also worried in her heart, she was still helping Ping Shu find a way before, and she was glad that Shuo'er was not there.

Later, I got the news that Lei Shuo was arrested, and Daqi and the Xiongnu also went to war.

Fortunately, she was a little relieved that she had been good news in the back.

But Lei Shuo didn't come back safely one day, and Mrs. Lei San's heart couldn't be put down at all.

Lu Lei couldn't sit still, got up to leave, Lu Shu shouted to him: "Xiao Lei! Where are you going? ”

This question made him stop immediately, and he said sullenly for a long time: "Go and see if there is any news from Yongheguan." ”

As soon as he left, Lu Shu looked back at Mrs. Lei and asked, "Third Uncle, can Ping Shu be stable?" ”

Mrs. Lei San pondered for a long time and said, "It should be no problem, Dejia has been in the palace all along." ”

In the next few days, people from Texas continued to come to the expedition to confirm their identities and send them to the Twin Peaks Mountain.

Dingyuan City was very lively for a few days, and when the recruited manpower was enough, Dingyuan was temporarily calmed down for a while.

Xiongnu steppe, riverside.

Wen Qingzhu took the dead branch and squatted on the ground, drawing the terrain they had seen along the way in the past two days.

In the distance, a herdsman was migrating, so Wen Qingzhu got up, pulled the sheepskin scarf around his neck, shook the sand on his sheepskin boots, and quickly wiped off the map on the sand.

Beidou led the horse over and pointed to the herdsmen who had come over there.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the bag of shriveled grain and said, "Wait a minute, they will come over and exchange the hunted wolf skins for some jerky and wheat cakes with them." ”

In less than half an hour, the migratory herders appeared on the other side of the river.

Wen Qingzhu's current clothes are almost no different from those of the herdsmen here.

A Hun woman with a sheepskin hat, a padded jacket on the placket, sheepskin boots, a scimitar at her waist, and a whip in her hand.

On the other side of the river, listening to a few young people, the tallest of them scanned Wen Qingzhu's body, and finally left his gaze on Beidou's body.

Wen Qingzhu squinted, Beidou was not afraid of the cold, he only brought a hat to protect his head, and his clothes and shoes were still rough and made.

But he carried several fresh wolf skins on his back, and there was a faint smell of blood.

The Xiongnu herdsmen are really familiar with wolves, but very few people can get such a complete wolf skin, which is really more eye-catching than women.

After all, they have been taught since childhood that the strong are respected.

"Big brother, where did you come from? How did you hit so many wolf skins?! ”

Beidou didn't speak, Wen Qingzhu raised his voice and shouted, "From the Tianying River!" ”

The young people on the opposite side stopped their eyes on Wen Qingzhu's body.

Everyone's faces were a little strange, but the leader still asked, "Then do you sell the wolf skins on your bodies?" We have knife coins. ”

"We need jerky and wheat crackers!" Wen Qingzhu was not polite, and directly stated his purpose.

The other party looked at Wen Qingzhu and their side carefully, two people, two horses, and two not very good horses.

Some people began to despise it.

The young man's gaze always wandered between Wen Qingzhu and Beidou, and finally told his friends around him: "Be polite later." ”

Soon the two sides met at a stone bridge not far ahead. China Library

A man with slender eyes looked Wen Qingzhu up and down presumptuously, as if he was looking at an object.

Just as he was about to speak, the young man in the lead glanced at him, which made the thin-eyed man restrain a little.

"I don't know what to call the two of you?" The young man in charge was very polite.

Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "It's just an ordinary person, the name is not worth mentioning, just begging for a living, a wolf skin, twenty catties of beef, twenty catties of mutton, air-dried and smoked, and twenty catties of wheat cakes!" What do you think? ”

"It's a bit expensive, it's not like we can't beat the wolf skin." The leading young man hesitated.

At this time, the thin-eyed man couldn't help but sneer: "It's just a wolf skin, and I can afford to give you ten catties of wheat cakes, and I dare to ask for a sky-high price!" ”

Wen Qingzhu didn't have the same knowledge as this man, so he stretched out his hand and asked Beidou to hand over a wolf skin, and threw it to the leader in front of him: "Look at what our wolf skin looks like." ”

The leader looked through it carefully, and suddenly found that there was no tear on it, only a cut from the top of the head to the tail.

He looked up in a daze and asked, "You hit these wolves?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled very happily: "Just capture it alive." ”

"Impossible! Wolves never act alone! As soon as it appeared, it was a crowd! "It's hard to believe the leader.

Wen Qingzhu clasped his arms and asked with a light smile: "Then what do you think, how did we get there?" We still have three wolf skins in our hands, and we have already used two of them for food, so if you don't do it, we'll go find someone else!" ”

With that, Wen Qingzhu turned his head to leave.

The leader hurriedly shouted to her: "Wait! You want so much! If you give me all the remaining three wolf skins, I can give you such food!" ”

Wen Qingzhu slowly turned around and said, "You are too ruthless in lowering the price, I still have to leave two skins for a jacket!" ”

"We can give you two more sheepskins, enough for a jacket and boots!" The leader looked at Beidou, who was speechless, and his eyes were very jealous.

Wen Qingzhu chuckled twice, looked at him fixedly, and said: "You are too ruthless, the first two times we didn't know the price, an ordinary wolf skin can be exchanged for twenty catties of beef and twenty catties of wheat cakes, I am such a good wolf skin, adding twenty mutton is not too much." ”

"Brother Denton! You two can do it at a glance! Isn't the fourth prince offering a bounty! If we arrest them, we may be able to make meritorious contributions! ”

The thin-eyed man licked the corners of his mouth, looking at Wen Qingzhu's eyes full of lewdness.

Wen Qingzhu's face was slightly cold, and he looked at them fixedly: "You want to do it?" ”

"No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, girl! The man named Denton gave the man a cold look, and then explained, "If three will not work, add two more, and we will give two sheepskins on our side, and you will also give them what you said earlier." ”

He looked around and smiled kindly: "I don't lie to you, we are the only ones passing by here within a radius of thirty miles, we are very familiar with this area, I dare to say that you will never touch anyone again today!" ”

Danton looked at the horses behind Wen Qingzhu, and the white cloth bag was filled with grain, so he said bluntly: "I see that you don't have much food, and if you miss us, you really can't get so much food!" ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at the man in front of him, he was also sincere, hesitated, and nodded thickly in agreement.

exchanged three wolf skins for grain and sheepskins, Wen Qingzhu was not like an extraneous branch, packed the grain, and directly turned around and rode away.

Danton looked at the direction they were heading, and hesitated a little: this direction is the northeast side, are they from that tribe?

"Brother Danton, your father called you!" Someone came running up to him and called him.

Denton had no choice but to come back to his senses, and looked at the three people who came with him, one of them had a wolf skin, except for the thin-eyed man before, everyone else.

He looked at the man who washed the inkstone and said: "Your family can't get food now, so you don't have your share in the wolf skin, I really want to, follow us to learn to hunt in the future." ”

The thin-eyed man was not angry, but his face was still hurriedly responding.

Following Danton back, he looked in the direction where Wen Qingzhu and the others left from time to time, and his heart was full of resentment!

You could have taken out all the wolf skins, but you only gave three!

Returning to the resting camp, the thin-eyed man had a stomachache and quietly went around the horse ring.

Denton frowned, and said to the remaining two: "You go and keep an eye on him, don't let him run out and chase those two, they are not easy to deal with!" I'm going to talk to Daddy about something. ”

The two nodded in agreement, but as soon as Denton was gone, they showed disdain.

"What the hell, that kid doesn't have the ability, and his temper is bigger than anyone else! If it weren't for Brother Danton's face, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to pay attention to him at all. ”

Another person asked, "Are we going to keep an eye on it?" ”

"Go for a ball! That kid better chase it out and get hacked to death! The disgruntled man turned to the tent and didn't bother to pay any attention.

The other man did not dare to go over, so he followed him to the tent.

After a while, the thin-eyed man led the horse and quietly escaped from the north, chasing in the direction of Wen Qingzhu.

He was unwilling: I want to see it! Isn't it just a woman and a tall-looking man? Lao Tzu must grab the last wolf skin and impress everyone!

After about an hour, Wen Qingzhu couldn't see any trace of the herdsmen, so he stopped and rested in place.

When I went to fetch water, a black spot suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and it flashed.

Wen Qingzhu subconsciously raised his head, but found that the surroundings were very quiet.

When he lowered his head, the corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth curled, it seemed that there were still flies following him!

No matter how difficult the Huns are, there will never be wolves to deal with!

Wen Qingzhu fetched water, and after getting up, he saw a shadow in the water appear behind him.

He was hooking his hands and trying to choke Wen Qingzhu's neck.

At this moment, Beidou appeared faster, grabbed the back of the man's neck with one hand, and twisted mercilessly.

With a click, the person who attacked Wen Qingzhu lost his breath.

As soon as Beidou let go, he fell to the ground softly.

Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at the person on the ground, who was the thin-eyed man before.

"Heh, sure enough, it's him, it's really beyond his strength."

After a mockery, Wen Qingzhu looked sideways in the direction they had come.
