Chapter 17: Escape from Death
The eagle soars in the sky, the gentle herdsmen on the grassland are living in the water and grass, there is no city outline, the dome felt tent, you can see a herd of cattle and sheep everywhere, the royal court of the Rouran Khan has arrived in a blink of an eye, there are a large number of troops in front of the royal court, patrolling, many felt tents are arranged in a uniform manner, a prosperous scene, and the distant view is very harmonious.
Among the many felt tents, I saw a big tent first, very solemn, the people who came in and out were all nobles, I saw a man wearing Hanfu and tied his hair walked out, and in the distance I saw a chief escorting a group of slaves to the direction of the camp.
I saw that this person immediately ordered the soldiers outside the big tent to intercept him, and this person stepped forward in the dazzling sunlight without hurrying. I saw that he came to the side of the Western Wei delegation who was escorted in a blink of an eye, and the chief dismounted at this time and put his right hand on his chest to salute this person and said: "Meet your lordship, I don't know what your lord commands, I will do it immediately!" ”
This person heard Shi Chang's compliment, but he didn't pay attention to it, but walked in the direction of the Western Wei mission that was being pressed, and looked at the outfits of a group of people while walking, the soldiers of the Western Wei Mission were driven all the way like slaves, their clothes were already tattered, and there were several large carts of goods behind.
This person looked at the people of the Western Wei delegation and asked, "Who are these people?" ”
Shi Changmei smiled, but he still replied with a huff: "Secret agent, I waited for the secret agents of other countries captured on the road, and refused to explain the true purpose of breaking into my Da Rouran!" ”
Yu Wenshen was already dirty and messy at this time, his hair was scattered, and he saw an adult wearing Hanfu in front of him, so he took the opportunity to take off the cloth on his mouth with his bound hands, and shouted loudly: "My lord, help, I am an envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, I don't know why I was detained for no reason, I hope that the adult will make the decision for us!" Seeing this, the soldier quickly whipped Yu Wenshen with a horsewhip and beat Yuwen Shen fiercely, and after about ten strokes, he was already lying on the ground unconscious.
At this time, Shi Chang was already frightened, and his eyes flashed to avoid the gaze of the person wearing Hanfu, so this person quickly scolded: "Stop! When did the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty become the slaves you were waiting for? Seeing this, the soldier stopped, threw away his horsewhip, and quickly knelt down, trembling with his hands on the ground.
Seeing this, this person immediately walked over and helped Yu Wenshen up, at this time, Yu Wenshen's clothes were in tatters, his flesh and blood were blurred, and there were whip marks everywhere on his body, and he urgently pursued: "Is it really an envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty?" ”
Yuwen, who was seriously injured, replied intermittently with a weak breath: "I... Wait.. They are all envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty, and they are in my house. . . Lord.. Prime Minister Yuwen was ordered to come and kiss. As he spoke, he took the token from his chest with a trembling hand, handed it to the man, and collapsed to the ground.
I saw that this person took a detailed look at the token, and shouted angrily: "Are you waiting for all dead people?" Release all the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty and others! Send the envoy to my felt tent, and call the old wounded doctor quickly! Seeing this, the soldiers untied the horse ropes in the hands of the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty, and knelt down in fear.
The man shouted to the soldiers, "Are you all dead?" Didn't hear me? So I saw that the chief waved his hand, and the soldiers all went to pick up Yuwenshen and walked towards one of the medium felt tents.
The man then turned around and walked to the side of the chief, only to see that the chief had fallen to his knees, and his arms were already trembling incessantly, so the man squatted down and said to the chief: "You can! The little chief dared to detain the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty without permission, and swallowed the goods of the envoys for private use, which was bold! ”
The beads of sweat on Shi Chang's face at this time couldn't stop flowing down, and when he heard this person's reprimand, he hurriedly replied: "The person who came did not report that it was an envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, and we only saw trespassing on the territory of my Rouran Khanate, and we thought it was a secret agent, so it was... , Adults spare their lives. Shi Chang was constantly kowtowing at this time.
This person looked at the token in his hand, and then glanced at Shi Chang who was desperately kowtowing, so he said slowly: "Dare to be hard-mouthed, everything else is easy to say, privately detain the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty, and ignore the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so ignorant of the seriousness, so greedy, if I hadn't bumped into it today, causing the two countries to fight, and then the blood would flow like a river, would you be able to bear it?" I can't spare you this time, it's a good journey, brother. After speaking, he patted Shi Chang on the shoulder.
This person immediately got up and waved his hand to the two pro-soldiers beside him, only to see the pro-soldiers come to this person's side in an instant, and this person immediately ordered: "Kill immediately. ”
Shi Chang was already weak and collapsed to the ground, and then was dragged by two personal soldiers for a short distance, and shouted desperately while being dragged along: "My lord, I don't dare to do my job anymore, my lord spares my life. Adults spare their lives... "I can only hear it". With a shout, the chief had been beheaded.
Who is this person? Why do you have so much power in the realm of Rouran?
The sun is setting on the grassland, the shepherds return at dusk, the sheep have been put into the sheepfold, in the blink of an eye, night falls, only the horse head qin is melodious, the grassland herdsmen gather around the bonfire to eat and drink, dance, unload the fatigue of the day, people are wantonly happy, although the world war continues, after a hundred years of Rouran Khanate in the blood and fire to find a glimmer of life, because Rouran does not have its own language, all the systems are imitated by the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it is strong, but the herdsmen of the grassland yearn for peace and comfortable time.
In a medium-sized felt tent, the light was very dim, and the Western Wei Mi made Yuwen Shen lie on the felt scarred, only to see a small bonfire not far from him, and there was a person next to him who was drinking wine and eating meat with his back to Yu Wenshen on the side of the case, and after a while, Yuwen Shen slowly opened his eyes, looked around the surrounding environment, and saw that the savior was drinking, so he quickly got up and said loudly: "En. . . Thank you, people, for saving your life! "He was so badly injured that he fell down before he could get up.
I saw that this person looked back after hearing Yu Wenshen's voice, quickly got up, came to Yu Wenshen and sat on the ground, and comforted: "You are too seriously injured, it is not appropriate to get up at this time, lie still, besides, don't call me a benefactor, my name is Chun Yu Qin, I am a native of Da Wei, and I am willing to make friends with Mr. ”
Yuwen Shen said weakly: "The benefactor turned out to be my Great Wei people, my name is Yu Wenshen, and I am the nephew of Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. So he asked Chun Yuqin: "Since Mr. is from the Great Wei, why is he in this desolate and bitter cold place?" ”
Chun Yuqin said with feelings: "It turned out to be Yuwentai's nephew, no wonder his bearing is extraordinary, I am also a native of Beiwuchuan, I had the honor to make friends with Yuwen father and son in my early years, I didn't expect that at this time, I was already the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the princes of the Son of Heaven were so prestigious!" ”
Yuwen Shen was surprised when he heard it, and wanted to get up, but he was in pain, grinning in pain, and relieved for a while, so he asked, "Mr. has an old friend with my lord?" ”
Chun Yuqin comforted: "You lie down, yes, I was lucky enough to make friends back then, but that was many years ago!" ”
Chun Yuqin looked at the flames of the blazing bonfire not far away, and seemed to remember something, so he sighed and sighed: "During the period of Emperor Xiaoming of the Great Wei Dynasty, the traitors in the court were in power, and the common people were killed, I was a low-level soldier in Wuchuan Town, at that time Yuwentai was smaller than you now, quite courageous, the original hereditary military system can ensure that we people have no worries about food and clothing, but natural disasters and man-made disasters have led to the uprising of the six towns, the chaos has changed all, the army of the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been defeated and retreated, and the court of the Great Wei Dynasty has no time, so I specially invite the Rouran Khan Anapu to assist in quelling the rebellion, So Khan Anapu led an army of 300,000 to the south to burn and loot under the drive of heavy profits, I was originally going to do something with your uncle Yuwen's family, but it backfired, but was looted by Anapu! ”
Yuwen Shen lay quietly and listened to Chun Yuqin tell the story of his ancestors.
Chun Yuqin felt a little choked up after finishing speaking, tears burst out of his eyes, and said with tears: "My eldest brother, my parents were all killed by Rouran, I hate this troubled world, the day before I was happy with my brother and parents, and the day after I saw the big living person die in front of me, I hate this ruthless world, I hate Rouran, I survived humiliation, in order to one day be able to avenge my relatives with my own hands, Anapu wanted to make Rouran strong, yearning for the civilization of the Han Dynasty, so I stayed to assist him, From a humiliated slave to a servant, to a close minister, my purpose is to overturn Rouran! Doom! After Chun Yuqin finished speaking, he wiped the tears on his cheeks, his eyes became very sharp, and he looked very mad in the felt tent in the dark night.
After telling about his unfortunate life experience, he was quiet for a while, sighed, and said to Yu Wenshen with a smile: "It's been more than ten years, and the old things have been nested in my heart, but today I spit out to you, I don't know why I told you about this, maybe you and I are both from Beiwuchuan, and you can see your hometown people in a different place, and it is also fate, see and laugh!" ”
Yuwen was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect Uncle Chun Yu to be so hard, bumpy, people in the troubled world are like grass mustard, like pigs and dogs, and there are constantly people today who provoke fights and wars for interests, rights, and greed, I hope this troubled world will end as soon as possible!" ”
Chun Yuqin then covered Yuwen with a blanket, and said with concern: "It's late at night, and the virtuous nephew is seriously injured, so it's better to rest early!" ”
After Chun Yu Qin finished speaking, he was about to get up, but Yu Wenshen suddenly grabbed Chun Yu Qin's arm and said, "Can Uncle Chun Yu fulfill my uncle's wish?" ”
Chun Yuqin then sat down and said, "The purpose of your trip is to get married?" That's all? ”
Yuwenshen said slowly: "Don't hide it, my uncle Yuwentai has just been based in Chang'an, the soldiers are tired and the people are tired, and the internal and external difficulties are difficult, my uncle swore to calm the troubled times, and return the world to Qingping, but the Eastern Wei Dynasty is proud of its own strength, and repeatedly wants to destroy my Western Wei, my uncle wants to marry Rouran, and fight the Eastern Wei Dynasty together, since Uncle Chun Yu is from his hometown and my uncle's old friend, can I achieve my wish?" ”
Chun Yuqin pondered for a while, and replied: "I have heard that Brother Yuwen has great ambitions, although I am far away in Rouran, I suddenly feel his heroic spirit, and he is worthy of being an iron-blooded man, but to achieve such a grand plan, it is not enough to achieve it without experiencing great difficulties and dangers, how difficult is it?" But no matter how difficult things in the world are, there are always people who try it, and don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, although I am a servant, but all the decisions of Rouran have to be discussed by the council, I can only do my best!"
Yuwen Shen heard the word "best effort", and felt cold, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Chunyu, this is an opportunity for you, as long as you have the ability to promote this matter, Anapu will trust you more and become the person who cannot leave for a while, if you want to take revenge, my uncle will be righteous, and he will help him, the best of both worlds, Uncle Chun Yu can think about it in detail!" ”
Chun Yuqin thought for a while and blurted out: "Okay! I will do my best to convince Anapu to fulfill Brother Yuwen's wish! So he laughed and said, "You go back and tell Brother Yuwen that he owes me a drink!" After saying that, he laughed, got up and walked out of the felt tent.
Yuwen Shen watched the hearty Chun Yuqin's back disappear behind the felt tent, his eyes were firm, and he slowly closed his eyes and waited to meet the Rouran Khan, Anapu, but he didn't know if Anapu was good or not, at least he would inevitably have some words.
