All the people of the Dahan Mission had a restless day. Captain Huo disappeared for no reason, and Dawan's attitude suddenly became cold, is there a relationship between the two? Zhang Qian and his deputy envoy Sun Yuan and the guard Zhao Ponu and others discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a clue.

This does not bode well. Just in case, Zhang Qian ordered Zhao Ponu to lead the fifty Han troops, strengthen the guard, and take care of the accompanying vehicles and property. At the same time, all the people who were sent out to look for Huo Qu's illness were called back, and from now on, everyone stayed in the tent well. As for staying or leaving, after going to see King Dawan again tomorrow, it depends on his attitude.

When it was getting dark, listening to the noise of the Dawan people and the guests drinking and chattering between the tents in the distance, everyone felt a little lonely. Their camp was quiet, with only a few campfires burning, with the occasional crackling sound.

Zhang Qian looked at the dozen or so people in the mission sitting around, everyone was silent, and he didn't want to say anything more. The situation is such that it is useless to say more. It seems that there is no help from the Dawan people, and there is no need for people to explicitly refuse, and the attitude of the other party has already been seen from various signs.

In this case, what we have to consider now is how to leave smoothly without losing the majesty of the Han Dynasty once King Dawan refuses tomorrow.

Seeing that everyone's mood was a little dull, Zhang Qian was about to speak, and when he was about to make another guess, the curtain of the tent moved slightly, and a figure flashed in gently.

"Huo, Captain Huo! Where have you been? Thank God...... It's finally back! ”

Zhao Ponu, who was on the outermost side, looked up and saw the people who came in, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and quickly stood up. When the rest of the people heard the movement and looked at it together, sure enough, the person who came in was Huo Quai.

I didn't see anyone for a day, and I saw that her head and face were covered with a layer of wind and sand, and she looked a little tired. But the spirit was good, and there was a twinkle of excitement in his eyes.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that she was fine. Zhang Qian put his mind at ease and was about to open his mouth to ask. saw Huo Qubing coming over in a hurry, wiped the dust on his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and drank a few mouthfuls of water while sitting down to rest.

"But I'm starving, and when I eat a little, I have something important to tell you."

Seeing her hungry and thirsty, Zhang Qian hurriedly pushed the barbecue, cheese and other foods on the table in front of her, telling her to eat slowly and not in a hurry.

Huo Quzhi was really hungry, she ran on the horse for a day and a night, and finally returned to this place, not a drop of water, tired and hungry, at this time she didn't care about anything else, gobbled up, and ate non-stop.

Zhang Qian and the others were all looking at her dumbfounded, not knowing what this disciple of Changle Hou had experienced, starving like this, his small body swept away a lot of things on the case, and he ate it clean in a short time.

"Don't ask me what I'm going to do. I'll tell you the news that the Hun cavalry has come here, not necessarily when, but probably at any time, they will attack us at any time! ”

After eating and drinking, Huo Quai, the first sentence he spoke, made everyone stand up in surprise.

"What do you say! Captain Huo, is this true? How do you know? ”

"W-How is this possible? Isn't this the country of Dawan...... How did the Huns end up here! ”

"Huns...... How many? Could it just be a passing by?"

Facing everyone's suspicious faces, Huo Quzhi's expression seemed very calm, she nodded to Zhang Qian, and then looked at everyone, her words were very affirmative.

"There are three hundred heavily armed Hun cavalry, and this afternoon, as a guest of honor, they were taken into this camp by the King of Dawan. Now they are drinking and resting less than two or three miles away from us. Moreover, I heard that they had agreed with the king of Dawan that the Huns would kill us all here. Dawan and the Xiongnu were originally together. ”

After hearing her words, everyone's faces turned pale. No wonder, since the afternoon, the attitude of the Dawan people has changed, it turned out that the Huns came, and they reached some kind of agreement!

If it weren't for Captain Huo to hear the news, the big guy would still be in the dark, and when the time comes, he will be caught off guard by others and die in this place, but he really doesn't know how he died!

It turned out that after running around Huo Qu's illness all night, after dawn, it finally quieted down. One man and one horse, the vast grassland, the bright sunrise, in such a situation, perhaps the creatures between heaven and earth are the easiest to resonate.

The lonely king needs friends, and the fate in the dark will be fulfilled by heaven. Pegasi began to become tame, and although he was not used to being ridden, he became attached to the man on horseback with a special aura.

This discovery made Huo Qubing ecstatic. She had also ridden several fierce horses on Changle Plateau, and she knew a little about their temperament, and knew that such a spiritual horse, if she had an attachment to her master, it would not be far from being tamed.

In the halo of the eastern morning glow, Huo Quzhi really saw the appearance of this heavenly horse clearly, it was brown and red all over, only a circle of white on the belly, with a huge head and neck, and an extraordinary horse. After running all night, there was no sign of fatigue, but he looked more energetic.

There are beads of sweat oozing between the mane of the horse's body, shining like dew under the light of the rising sun, Huo Quzhi touched it with his hand, it was red, like blood, sure enough, this is the sweat and blood BMW that I heard the master say!

After eating grass and drinking the water of the mountain stream, the horse became more intimate with her, leaning his head between her arms and rubbing it, and sniffing her intently. Huo Quzhi was still a little uneasy, and carefully let go of the noose around its neck, but he didn't expect it to show no signs of escaping at all, and it was by her side and never left.

Tianma recognizes the Lord, this trip to the Western Regions is really not in vain! Huo Qubing just wanted to ride it now, non-stop, all the way back to Chang'an, and share the greatest joy in his heart with his master.

But after the joy, Huo Quzhi, who calmed down, was a little dumbfounded, she found that she was lost, she didn't know where she was, and she didn't know how to go back and find the camp of the Han Mission.

So, the girl who got the gift of the BMW from God was on the vast and boundless grassland, aimlessly looking for the way to come. Enduring thirst and hunger, she searched and searched, turned around and saw that half a day had passed, and ran out for I don't know how many ways, but still did not see a tent appear.

Just when she was anxious, on a high place, she saw a group of cavalry in the distance, marching forward. As soon as her heart moved, she stared at their shadows from afar, following behind.

With the help of the small telescope that he carried close to his body, Huo Quzhi had already seen clearly, and the cavalry was dressed as a Huns. Although I don't know why they are here, since there are traces of people, it is better than running into them by themselves, regardless of east, west, north and south.

Her luck was good, and soon after, turning a hill, she knew that she had finally returned when she saw the Hun cavalry gradually approaching the large number of tents.

However, Pegasi doesn't seem to like to be near people, and it is too far away to go any further. Huo Quzhi gently stroked the mane on the top of its head.

"Hongxue, if you don't want to get close to humans, then you can wait for me on the grassland, okay? When I'm done this time, I'll go to the place where I met you last night to look for you, okay?"

The Pegasus, whom she had named Red Snow, seemed to understand, and shook his head, snorted, and arched his head over her, before quickly disappearing into the thick grass.

Huo Quzhi reluctantly retracted his gaze, turned around and thought about it, but did not go back to the tent where his people were directly, but quietly bypassed a few sentry posts of Dawan's guards, leaned over in the withered grass outside King Dawan's tent, cut through the cowhide tent with his short sword, and looked inside through the gap.

It was already dark at that moment, and she was sensitive, and she hid there motionless, so that no one would find her trace at all, so that everything that happened in the king's tent was clearly seen by her. After a long time, when the night wind swept through the grass again, the figure had long since disappeared.

At this time, after listening to Captain Huo's detailed narration, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw fear on each other's faces. There was no longer any doubt in everyone's minds, this was absolutely true, and great danger was imminent.

Among the more than 200 people in the Han Mission, most of them were from Honglu Temple and Shaofu, and they belonged to officials who knew foreign affairs, but they were all Confucian scholars who were born as scholars. If they are to engage in state-to-state political and economic negotiations, that is their strength. But if they want to dance with knives and sticks to fight the enemy, it is to drive the ducks to the shelves, and it is difficult for the strong.

Zhang Qian frowned, at such a critical moment, the only people who could rely on Captain Huo and the fifty Black Eagle Army under her command were the only ones to rely on. However, with their men, it would have been difficult for them to escape overnight in the grassland, which was full of wild beasts and wolves, just to protect the people and property of the mission. Not to mention, now they are facing three hundred Hun iron cavalry and thousands of Dawan troops who have become enemies!

This, no matter how you think about it, is a dead end. There is no support, no help, you can only rely on yourself, it seems that there is only one way to escape overnight, as for whether you can escape...... Leave it to fate!

Listening to them nervously discussing preparations for escaping overnight, the captain who was carefully wiping the dust on the outside of the Red Fire Sword with a cloth raised his head.

"Running away overnight, this is a road to death, I don't agree! If, believe me...... There's a way ......! ”

The dusty cotton cloth fell to the ground, and the captain named Huo Qubing stood up and gently pulled out his sword, the famous sword of the Spring and Autumn Period! In the scabbard with its owner has traveled thousands of miles, tonight, it has finally washed away the dust, and glows with brilliant ......!
