Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Jiang Chong, and it was carried out in the harem. An unusually non-eunuch can enter the harem, which shows grace.

Jiang Chong is indeed one of the most trusted personnel of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have handed over all the most important embroidered messengers to Jiang Chong alone. For Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Chong was his eyes and ears all over the world, and a channel to get past the ministers and understand the world.

After Jiang Chong reported all the affairs of Cao Xianye to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he bowed his head slightly and retreated to the side. After finishing the words that should have been said, Jiang Chong did not look up at Emperor Wu of Han's face during the whole process. Until Emperor Wu of Han's sigh came from behind the table.

"This matter will not be dealt with for the time being. The border army was still handed over to General Cao, but Shiyi had to marry before the beginning of spring. Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand, and Jiang Chong, who still hadn't raised his head, bent down and slowly retreated.

He reported the information and guessed the result in his mind. At this juncture, as long as Cao Xianye had no intention of rebelling, the emperor would not take too radical measures. Kaichun must face a big war with the Xiongnu, and in a few months, it is by no means what a wise and martial emperor should do. Even this general, to a certain extent, challenged his majesty.

The most important point of this is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sure that Cao Xianye would not rebel. It is never easy to choose a candidate to guard the border, and you must have enough ability to defend it, and you must also have the loyalty not to take the opportunity to support the army and respect yourself, and even more so, you must be able to endure the bitter cold life of the border pass for decades. It is true that the Han Dynasty is full of talents, and it is even more true that the generals are like clouds. But in Jiang Chong's mind, there are really few people who can replace Cao Xianye. Of course Wei Qing can, but Wei Qing has to sit in the central government.

Jiang Chong squinted his eyes, and his hands subconsciously crossed together and shook rhythmically. He slowly walked out of the palace and thought for a moment to return to the embroidery workshop. Arrange to inform Princess Shiyi that she will marry before the beginning of spring, and he doesn't have to worry about it, the spy leader, and he has his own prime minister and others to arrange it. But the border army was so turbulent that he had to send embroidered messengers to the border. Especially for the preparations made by the Xiongnu before the beginning of spring, he also had to investigate in detail. In the land outside the plug, the Central Plains knows a lot less.

Jiang Chong felt a little distressed in his heart for the damaged Jiang Twelve, this guy was able to hide in the heart of the Huns for more than ten years without showing his face, which shows his skills. This time he had to be exposed for inexplicable reasons, which made Jiang Chong a lot more vigilant. Jiang Twelve is one of the twelve people he has cultivated, and he is especially good at judging the current situation. What is the message he chose to take and convey himself, Jiang Chong did not find out. Cao Xianye refused to answer this question, only saying that he would explain it clearly in the secret report handed to the emperor. He sent someone to escort him all the way back, but he didn't even have the heart to peek at it.

Jiang Chong slowly walked out of the palace gate, and Lu Zhao also walked into a mountain village almost at the same time. When entering this secluded village, Lu Zhao walked slowly, and the horses were thrown at the entrance of the village by them. Stepping on the snow under his feet and carrying a longbow. Yu Zhan followed behind, holding a long knife in his hand, his eyes looking left and right, trying to help Lu Zhao notice the blind spot of the perspective. This is the tacit skill they have cultivated after ten years of hunting in the mountains.

The ability to survive is often the most tested, and those who are not capable enough have already taken their lives on this road.

And when Lu Zhao shot the tiger for the first time, he knew that God was uncertain, and he took the lives of two people. Since then, in the midst of a panic, his mind has never been disturbed.

What's more, the level of danger today is unknown, and it is simply not comparable to when facing tigers. He is also much stronger than he was at the beginning, with feathers and arrows in his hands, and he has the belief that he is invincible in the world.

It's just that he is in a hurry now and wants to meet the remnants of the Huns.

Lu Zhao's hand holding the longbow became harder and harder, he needed merit to be able to be promoted, and he was qualified to lead troops into battle. This was the only way for him to go deep into the grassland and rescue the villagers.

As he walked, Lu Zhao waved his finger and stopped. He turned his head and walked over to the tree, rubbing his fingers over the bark. There was a long trail on it, and Yu Zhan and Zhao Er followed. Zhao Er glanced left and right, lowered his voice and asked, "What is this?" ”

Yu Zhan opened his mouth to answer his question: "Second brother, you are too stupid. These are the marks of the horsewhip, and judging by the marks, these men must have been here a few hours ago. ”

"It's been a few hours, what's the use?" Zhao Er glanced at Yu Zhan in confusion, but didn't understand. He hadn't read a book, he had only been to the battlefield twice, and his mind was not much better than the wood in front of him.

Yu Zhan shook his head, and continued to explain helplessly: "Outside the Saiwai, it is not easy to find a village where you can stay. What's more, now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it is also a very dangerous thing to walk in the mountains. One is that the horse's hooves are easy to fall, and the other is easy to encounter ferocious beasts. For example, hungry wolves are extremely difficult to deal with. Most likely, they are in this village right now and have not left. ”

"Whether it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, or the merits, it depends on our ability. Yu Zhan, don't be in a hurry later, we have to find out how many people are in it first. Lu Zhao squinted his eyes and had already lifted the longbow slightly. His intuition told him that there must be Hun deserters in this village. They can't go back to the hinterland of the grassland, and they can't enter the Yumen Pass. Find such a village, they will not leave. But what made Lu Zhao vigilant was that he didn't know how many people there were here.

If this is a rout squad, it means that he and Yu Zhan have thrown themselves into the net and given away heads to others.

Yu Zhan nodded, holding the knife in one hand and hiding the other hand in his sleeve. The waist pole bent slightly, and his eyes looked around vigilantly. Zhao Er also squinted his eyes and tried his best to look at every corner, for fear that an eye would suddenly pop up somewhere, and with a shout, the three of them would be chopped into meat puree.

Lu Zhao walked in the front, and his pace was very slow. Tilt your head slightly from side to side and listen. The eyes can be deceiving, especially in the middle of a snowy day. But the sound heard by the ear, though chaotic, is more real. The village is not particularly large, and there are no particularly large villages outside the Saiwai. The precarious life has caused their population to be lost or fleeing, and some have been turned into slaves and plundered into the depths of the grasslands.

As he walked, Yu Zhan suddenly shrugged his nose.

Lu Zhao turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you perceive? ”

Yu Zhan's sense of smell is sensitive, and he already knows it. This skill is even more powerful than their hunting dogs.

Yu Zhan hesitated and said, "I seem to feel the bloody breath. ”

Lu Zhao's eyes narrowed into a slit.
