Chapter 134: Hedong Mutual Market

Hua Wenxuan saw that the cold light was coming straight to his face, so he hurriedly shrank his head to dodge, and looked closely, but saw that the convoy had been surrounded by more than a thousand Hun light cavalry.

A group of Hun cavalry was shuttling back and forth in the convoy, staring at everyone with small eyes, and one of the Huns led by a pair of exaggerated human bone collars stood in front of the convoy.

Hua Wenxuan got out of the carriage, came to Jian Yong's side, and muttered in a low voice, "What are these barbarians going to do?" It's a bit of a rush! ”

Jian Yong looked around and said softly: "It shouldn't be a move, it doesn't look like a robbery, but like someone you're waiting for?" Jian Yong quietly raised his hand and signaled, asking the servants to hide the blades, but fortunately, they were all short soldiers and crossbows, and if they didn't look closely, they couldn't detect anything.

The cavalry that rushed into the convoy circled a few times, returned to the side of the Huns who were the leader, and muttered a few words. The man nodded, and drove forward.

Jian Yong gestured towards Hua Wenxuan and got up to greet him.

"We are horse merchants from Jingzhou, entrusted by the Shi family to buy horses from the north, dare to ask who is blocking the road?" Jian Yong sat on his horse and arched his hand and asked.

The Hun looked Jian Yong up and down, his ridiculous mustache moved, and he raised his head in Chinese and replied: "The king of my family ordered me to inspect, saying that you Han people are so treacherous!" I'm afraid that I want to be unfavorable to my king! ”

Jian Yong heard this strange accent, forced a smile, and replied: "We are serious businessmen, except for self-defense daggers, there are no other sharp weapons, your king can rest assured!" ”

The Hun burst out of his mouth a few words that he didn't understand, and laughed heartily.

Hua Wenxuan came to Jian Yong's side and asked strangely, "What is he laughing at?" Jian Yong shook his head.

The Huns seemed to hear Hua Wenxuan's words, and said with a cruel smile: "I said! I'm afraid that you people are not enough for our army to eat, and one person is not enough for one mouthful! ”

Hua Wenxuan chuckled in his heart, his tone was so big, could it be that King Zuo Xian brought thousands of people and horses?

Facts have proved that Hua Wenxuan still underestimated the dignified Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King.

Hua Wenxuan led the convoy and followed this wave of Huns to Hedong Hushi, and was immediately stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him.

The ancient city of Hedong is dilapidated, the mottled city walls, the dilapidated gatehouses, the slash marks and broken arrows everywhere prove that it has been full of war smoke in the past, the dry moat has long become a garbage dump for piling up ruins and broken walls, and from the four gates outward, the endless tents of all kinds are like a colorful net, tightly surrounding the ancient city of Hedong. Under the tent, the peddlers and pawns with various accents shuttled back and forth, blankets, leather bags, six-color shoulder bags, and all kinds of containers complemented each other, so that it was a grand occasion of a hodgepodge of Tiannan and Haibei.

Hua Wenxuan sat on the back rail of the carriage, followed the Hun light cavalry through the bustling market, and under the gaze of various eyes, he advanced towards the ancient city of Hedong.

In the whole market town outside the city, from time to time, you can see the Huns and Han soldiers wearing ragged clothes and armor who come and go, dealing with all kinds of disputes in the market town, the various dialects of Tiannan and Haibei, the miscellaneous scolding that can be understood and understood, and the bargaining sound of saliva splashing and dancing, there is actually a different kind of prosperous hustle and bustle.

Entering the ancient city of Hedong, Hua Wenxuan's pores instantly tightened. Dense Xiongnu fur tents filled the entire urn city, the noisy Xiongnu language resounded throughout the ancient city, and the neighing of livestock and the laughter of orchids made this brick city on the north bank of the Yellow River seem to stand in the Western Regions.

On the way from the urn city into the main hall of the old city, Hua Wenxuan roughly estimated the Huns, there were about more than 10,000 people, not counting the slaves and logistics of the army.

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but gasp, how could this not feel like an autumn breeze? It's like sending warmth?

At the gate of the old hall, Hua Wenxuan and Jian Yong followed the leading Huns and entered the main hall, and the rest of the servants were blocked out of the hall.

In the huge hall, several rumbling bonfires are buzzing, and the firelight reflects the entire gloomy hall even more terrifyingly.

A few bare-chested orchids were twisting their waists in the hall to the rhythm of the tambourine and huqin, their long eyelashes flickering with the amorous eyes exuding a provocative charm, and the gauze scarf on the face went up and down with wheezing, which made Hua Wenxuan feel a little excited in his heart.

There was a Hun man wearing gold and silver sitting on the head, the fur scarf on his head was full of colorful tail feathers, and when he saw Hua Wenxuan and Jian Yong coming in, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and beckoned to come forward.

Hua Wenxuan pinched the iron whip on his waist, smiled and walked forward with Jian Yong, brushed the orchid's side, the strong smell of spices and an indescribable body odor made him dizzy, and sure enough, he could only watch from a distance and not play with it.

Jian Yong walked in front, and when he arrived in front of the Hun man, he was blocked by the left and right guards drawing their knives, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "In Xia Jian Yong, I came to buy horses and meet His Royal Highness King Zuo Xian!"

King Zuo Xian rolled his small eyes with a smile and looked at Jian Yong, holding a fish bone in his hand, and picking his teeth impatiently. The guards on both sides also had no intention of putting down their sabers at all.

Seeing that King Zuo Xian did not respond, Jian Yong smiled and took out a silver cake from his arms, handed it to the guard, put it on the case in front of King Zuo Xian, and said with a smile: "The villain is meeting for the first time, and he is not familiar with the customs of our northern land, so he has prepared a small gift and offered a silver ornament to his wife and concubine."

The king of Zuoxian sneered, took the silver cake with his hand, tossed it twice in his hand, and threw it to the slave girl who was kneeling beside her, and the slave girl kowtowed to catch it, and put it in the gold-inlaid leather box beside her.

King Zuo Xian stood up, looked at Jian Yong, spoke Chinese not fluently, and said, "You Han people! Treacherous! Be careful! He looked at Hua Wenxuan on the side, and looked up and down with sly eyes, "Living!" Be careful! ”

Jian Yong laughed on the side, and said cautiously: "Our Shi family often comes and goes, how dare we deceive Your Highness!"

King Zuo Xian smiled, "You buy horses, two thousand!" Too much! What about the money! Qi ??! ”

"Qi! Even! Jian Yong replied on the side.

"Oh?" Zuo Xianwang glanced at Jian Yong with a small glance and stared at Jian Yong, "Two thousand horses!" Not two hundred! Where is the silver car? ”

Hua Wenxuan, who was on the side, hurriedly replied: "The silver car is heavy, and it is left behind, so it will arrive!" As he spoke, he approached King Zuo Xian, but was blocked by the guards on the left and right, and he couldn't get close to King Zuo Xian at all.

Jian Yong also became more and more anxious when he saw it, if he continued to interrogate like this, he would sooner or later reveal his flaws, if he couldn't catch Zuo Xianwang first, if he missed and ran away, he would lose all his efforts.

Hua Wenxuan was in a hurry, so he couldn't hold it back, and wanted to break through, but the guards on the left and right saw that his face was not good, and they all drew their knives and pointed at Hua Wenxuan, chattering nonsense non-stop.

Jian Yong was even more uneasy, squinted at King Zuo Xian, and touched the dagger in his sleeve.

At this time, the slave girl kneeling beside her suddenly said in fluent Chinese: "This is His Highness's favorite mat, how can you step on it!?"

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment and looked at the slave girl.

King Zuo Xian was even more shocked, and scolded him for a while, but his raised hand did not dare to fight for a long time.

The slave girl kowtowed and replied in nonsense, Jian Yong thought about it in her heart, glanced at Hua Wenxuan, and arched her hand towards King Zuo Xian, "Since King Zuo Xian doesn't believe me, I'll just look at this deal!" ”

After that, Jian Yong made a gesture to leave, and pulled Hua Wenxuan, who looked confused, to the gate of the hall, and when he reached the door, a small group of Hun guards blocked in front of him.

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but clench Jian Yong's hand, it seemed that a fight was inevitable.
