Chapter 15: Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping
Ji Lou Yuan led people to step forward, and the more than 100 Huns had already discovered Ji Lou Yuan's army, but when they saw that it was the Hun cavalry, they were not on guard, and still surrounded the Han caravan.
But seeing the five hundred iron horsemen, without making a single human voice, they approached so slowly, and they were extremely uncomfortable to be looked at by those eyes without the slightest emotion, and those Hun knights couldn't help but look at each other, extremely nervous.
The leader Bai Chang was also a little uneasy in his heart, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was also a Hun, the other party would not attack him, so let's do it to his own people.
Fu Gu Huaijing stepped forward and glanced around for a while, then shouted and asked, "Where is your leader?" Which tribe is it from? Hearing someone on the other side speak, Bai Chang breathed a sigh of relief, even if the other party was vicious in his questioning, the momentum of the five hundred iron horses fused into one made them feel a lot of pressure.
After stabilizing his mind, he came out and asked tentatively: "The villain is the leader of the Liwang tribe of the Zuogu Liwang, I don't know who you are?" He thought that these people were here to snatch the prey of the Han caravan with them, and to report the name of Hu Yan Gu was to deter them, after all, Hu Yan Gu has always been very domineering among the Southern Xiongnu.
The sound of horses' hooves of "tapping and tapping" brought Bai Chang, who was in a bit of a trance, back to his senses, only to see a young Xiongnu nobleman coming up on a horse, looking at him like looking at an ant, and whispered: "I am Ji Louyuan!" ”
When Bai Chang heard this, he was shocked, although he was not in the royal court, he had already heard of Ji Louyuan's name. There is some impulse in my heart to give myself two slaps, such a Jingru teacher, who else can there be in the entire Huns except for Prince Ji Lou Yuan. Thinking that he also pulled up the name of Hu Yangu as a banner, everyone knew that the two of them did not deal with each other, Bai Chang thought of a lot in an instant, and panicked.
A little stammered, Ji Lou Yuan glanced at him, and asked coldly: "Shan Yu has already ordered that all Han caravans traveling to and from Meiji should be treated with courtesy, what are you doing, blatantly violating Shan Yu's order?" ”
A loud voice scared the Baichang a lot, he was already a little scared, and he was forced by Ji Lou Yuan's might, and immediately rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the panicked Huns below, Ji Louyuan's eyes were unwavering, and he waved his hand and said: "Get up, take your people, get out!" ”
The hundred chiefs didn't think about any business and property, so they got on the horse and wanted to take people away. This is Ji Louyuan's voice again: "Remember, Shan Yu's order cannot be disobeyed. I also told the Hun tribesmen who were not in the royal court that if there was any further disobedience, robbing the merchants and travelers, and affecting the trade channels of our tribe, it would not be so simple next time! When the hundred chiefs heard the promise twice, they ran away like a stream of urine.
Ji Louyuan turned his head to look at the Han caravan that was already panicking, and with a wave of his hand, he also asked his subordinates to surround it, rode his horse closer, and asked lightly: "Which of you is in charge, where did you fight the caravan?" "I'm full of interest, I haven't encountered something that interests him so much for a long time, and it's time for life to adjust.
The nerves of the caravan did not dare to relax in the slightest, and they were surrounded by Ji Louyuan's subordinates, and there was a feeling that they had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth. But at the moment, people are swords and I am fish and meat, and this leading Xiongnu nobleman seems to be much easier to speak, and listening to his words, it also has the meaning of protecting business travelers.
The caravan guards put away their weapons, and the two Han people came out of the ranks, and it was time for them to be in charge. Ji Lou Yuan looked at the two of them, he looked less than thirty years old, he was also young, and he looked shrewd, but he was quite calm in the face of Ji Lou Yuan. "Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, meet this adult!"
When Ji Lou Yuan heard the names of those two people, his eyes immediately flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he didn't give these dozens of people room to resist, so he pulled people and goods to his tribe's station.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping have many twists and turns along the way, hearing that the Xiongnu are so wealthy, they took a huge risk, anxious dozens of people, and bought some goods from Jizhou, wanting to trade with Meiji.
Trekking through mountains and rivers, wearing stars and moons, the road is bumpy and bumpy, and it has gone through hardships. Unexpectedly, Kuai Meiji was first robbed, and then he couldn't help but say to the Hun nobles that he was taken captive to this Hun lair.
The group was placed in the camp, surrounded by Huns, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes, this trip is afraid that they will lose all their money, and even whether they can save their lives and gain freedom is a problem.
The two of them sighed, seeing that the atmosphere was solemn, and the expressions of the accompanying caravan personnel were fearful, frightened, and even desperate. Su Shuang couldn't help but say: "You don't have to be afraid, you know some Xiongnu language, the Huns don't seem to want to harm us, and all the goods are dedicated to the prince to survive!" ”
"What if the Huns take us into slavery?" Someone asked. Zhang Shiping, who was about to speak, closed his mouth, life and death were in the hands of others, and he could only sit and wait for the arrangement of fate, which was indeed helpless.
"Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, come with me, the Lord wants to see you!" Fu Gu Huaijing spoke unfamiliar Chinese, and spoke inarticulate to the two. With apprehension, the two followed Fu Gu Huai to Ji Lou Yuan's tent, and the fate of their group depended on this meeting.
After a long time, he entered a tent that was obviously a nobleman. As soon as I entered, I raised my eyes and saw the noble Hun prince, whose Han hair bun was too conspicuous. Sitting on the white tiger skin seat, holding a beautiful Hun woman, the two didn't dare to look at it, and stepped forward to meet them.
"The two gentlemen are here, excuse me, take a seat!" Ji Lou Yuan said with a smile. Letting go of the hand holding Lan Yu tightly, Lan Yu got up, and suddenly felt the huge softness on her chest.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were a little surprised by Ji Lou Yuan's northern Chinese, seeing Ji Lou Yuan's kind face, the tension in his heart dissipated a lot, Su Shuang said tentatively: "I don't know the prince, what is the matter with detaining our caravan?" If you want those goods, I'm willing to give them all to the prince! Zhang Shiping also looked like he agreed.
When Ji Louyuan heard this, he smiled faintly, took a sip of mare's milk wine, and said: "The two of you have come thousands of miles to my Huns, and they have gone through hardships, so what happened?" ”
was a little confused by Ji Louyuan's question, Zhang Shiping replied honestly: "In the next line, the risk of colds and hardships are naturally for the sake of businessmen to earn wealth!" ”
"Then I have a big fortune here, I wonder if you two are willing to earn it?"
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Ji Lou Yuan's gourd, and asked, "Dare to ask what the prince said, what kind of wealth is it!" ”
"The two of you don't have to be nervous, in the past two years, our Huns have vigorously supported the trade of Han and Hun merchants, but the business travel of the Han people is still scarce, the roads are far away, the bandits and horse bandits, and even the looting of our Huns have discouraged them. I think the two of them are extraordinary, and I have the heart to let you set an example and organize a large caravan to come to Meiji trade, tea, salt, silk, grain, the Huns all need it, and I will send someone to preside over it personally. As long as you are within the influence of my Huns, I will ensure that you have nothing to do, and you two can consider it! ”
"The prince is right!" Zhang Shiping asked anxiously. Ji Louyuan nodded yes. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping both saw the joy in their eyes, and it was really a huge wealth. Without much hesitation, the two decisively agreed.
"Okay, I really didn't misread the two of you, you can go back and get the goods back and trade with my tribe." Ji Lou Yuan showed some joy.
The two of them didn't dare to do anything, and decisively dedicated the goods to Ji Lou Yuan, they focused on the huge wealth in the future, and they wanted to curry favor with Ji Lou Yuan first.
Ji Louyuan secretly sighed that these two people really knew how to behave, and they didn't refuse. Give each other some furs, precious stones, and a few horses from the tribe, and the merchant must give him some sweetness to try first.
