said that Dong Huang traveled day and night, and finally arrived at his hometown Lintao three days later.

It's just that now the people of the Dong family are all in Hedong, and there is no one Dong Huang knows in Lintao, so Dong Huang naturally passed through the door and did not enter, and rushed straight to the Diren village thirty miles west of Lintao.

The village of the Di people is located in a grassland in the upper reaches of Taoshui, built according to Taoshui, where the water and grass are abundant, the grassland is vast, and the splendid mountain flowers that are all over the mountains and fields, the scenery is far more than the prairie north of the desert.

"Who are you, what are you doing in front of my Di village?"

Before they walked to the gate of the wall, Dong Huang and his party were found by the soldiers on duty in the guard tower on the gate, and the other party asked Dong Huang more than ten zhang away.

As soon as he heard that an unknown figure was coming, a team of Diren warriors standing guard outside the gate of the village ran over directly with the guys, and surrounded Dong Huang and his party of more than ten people, including their war horses.

"Who are you, what are you doing in our tribe, get off your horse quickly." A group of Diren warriors raised their scimitars in their hands and shouted one after another.

Dong Huang was helpless, and directly turned over and dismounted. More than a dozen pro-soldiers rolled their saddles and fell off their horses in unison, and each pulled out the long sword at his waist to protect Dong Huang in the center.

Dong Huang put aside the personal soldiers who were protecting him, walked out, clasped his fists and saluted the Diren warriors led in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "This brother, please trouble you to report to your patriarch, just say that there is an old man who wants to see him." ”

"The deceased?" The Di warrior glanced at Dong Huang suspiciously, like the Qiang people, the Di people have been in contact with the Han people in Xiliang for a long time, and they have some understanding of the language and culture of the Han people, because of this, he doesn't think that the man in front of him, who is only twenty years old at most, is the old man of the patriarch, but he didn't say anything more, just told his companion: "You take a good look at them, don't let them run around, I'll report to the patriarch." ”

After saying that, the leader of the Diren warrior turned around and left, trotting into the gate of the wall.

After a quarter of an hour, he finally ran out of the stockade, came to Dong Huang, asked the Diren soldiers who surrounded Dong Huang and the others to retreat, and then said, "Let's go!" The patriarch asked me to take you to him. ”

When Dong Huang heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his big hand, he said to more than ten pro-soldiers: "Let's go, let's go into the village!" ”

Under the leadership of the Diren warrior at the head, the group entered the Diren village, placed more than ten personal soldiers, and Dong Huang followed the soldier to the place where the Diren patriarch lived.

As soon as I entered, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a strong and burly shape sitting on a large tiger skin seat in the first place. Looking at the Han costume on that person, Dong Huang was a little unsure whether this person was the patriarch of the Di people.

The "patriarch ......" didn't make Dong Huang think too much, and the Diren warrior led by him directly hugged his fist and reported to the middle-aged man, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man, who was also the patriarch of the Diren, waved his hand.

The patriarch of the Di people looked at Dong Huang with an expressionless face, and went straight to the point, saying, "You said that you are my old friend, but I don't know you." ”

Dong Huang smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Dong Huang, the nephew of Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, has seen the patriarch. ”

"Liangzhou Mu? …… Dong Zhuo...... Are you Dong Zhuo's nephew? The Patriarch asked in a trembling voice.

Dong Huang said categorically: "Exactly! ”

Hearing Dong Huang's definite answer, the patriarch of the Di people and all the Di people warriors present all showed frightened expressions, Dong Zhuo, that demon king actually became the pastor of Liangzhou, he actually came back......

"Good, good! I don't want to be the nephew of the deceased, Dong Gongzi, please sit down. The patriarch of the Di people forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, pretended to be happy, laughed, and pointed to a seat next to him for Dong Huang to sit down.

This will be but it is Dong Huang's turn to be confused, he just said casually before, he didn't want Dong Zhuo to really know the patriarch of the Di people, but the next moment he reacted, Dong Zhuo had traveled to various counties in Liangzhou when he was in his hometown of Lintao, so he naturally said that he couldn't know the patriarch of the Di people in front of him. In fact, what Dong Huang didn't know was that Dong Zhuo was no longer the Dong Zhuo of the past, and he really didn't know the patriarch of the Di people in front of him.

At the moment, he was not polite, he said thank you, and sat directly in the position pointed out by the patriarch of the Di people.

After Dong Huang sat down, the patriarch of the Di people spoke again, learning the etiquette of the Han people and said: "I also knew your uncle back then, but I haven't seen each other for many years, I don't know how he is now?" ”

Dong Huang's eyes flashed, with a respectful expression, and said: "My uncle has always been well, but now he worships the former general, leads the Liangzhou pastor, and is ordered to cut off the rebel separatist forces in Xiliang. ”

The patriarch of the Di people frowned slightly, and asked casually: "Then I don't know what Dong Gongzi is doing when he comes to my Di people this time?" ”

Dong Huang has been staring at the patriarch of the Di people, although his frown was very subtle, but he was still discovered by Dong Huang, and immediately knew that the relationship between the patriarch of the Di people and his uncle was by no means as simple as an old man, and there was no hatred left. Listening to the patriarch of the Di people directly ask himself about his intentions, Dong Huang secretly laughed in his heart, this is just the beginning, and he went straight to the point, this Di people patriarch wants to learn from the Han people, but he only has the shape, not the god, there is really no city.

Dong Huang immediately rolled his eyes and said, "I was ordered by my uncle to lead 100,000 troops to exterminate all parts of Longxi...... Exterminate the rebels of Baohan Song Yang, take this opportunity to pass by Lintao, and return to his homeland to see. ”

Hearing Dong Huang say this, the patriarch of the Di people was a little panicked, the other party was obviously going around the bend with him, he just caught Dong Huang's words, and was ordered by Dong Zhuo to exterminate all parts of Longxi...... Although the latter words made Dong Huang directly change to exterminate Song Yang, he didn't believe it, exterminate Song Yang, you don't go to the northwest of Longxi, don't go to Song Yang's old nest of Caohan, what are you doing in Lintao, go back to your hometown to see? Trick the ghost to go, you will, it must be Dong Zhuo who asked you to exterminate the separatist forces in Longxi, what separatist forces are there in Longxi, isn't it the Qiang forces in Song Yang in Huhan and the forces of their Di people in Lintao, hmph, what are you saying about passing by Lintao, who are you fooling, isn't it just that you are leading a large army to attack their Di people.

Thinking about it this way, the enemy patriarch suddenly looked bitter, Dong Zhuo left an unknown shadow on their Di tribe back then, when Dong Zhuo was the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, he had fought with their Di people, although Dong Zhuo's army was only a few thousand at that time, but it was ferocious and abnormal, plus Dong Zhuo was fierce and cruel, and there were many tricks, so that their Di tribe's nearly 100,000 army was defeated, with countless casualties, and it has been ten years now, but they have not eased their vitality, otherwise they would take advantage of this Xiliang chaos, They have to mix and mingle no matter what.

Now it's good, Dong Zhuo not only became the pastor of Liangzhou, but also sent an army of 100,000 to clean up Longxi, Dong Zhuo's thousands of soldiers and horses were not easy to deal with before, but now it is replaced by an army of 100,000, isn't that to destroy their Di tribe.

As soon as the patriarch of the Di people heard that Dong Zhuo had become the pastor of Liangzhou, he immediately did not doubt the authenticity of Dong Zhuo's desire to exterminate their Di clan, in his eyes, Dong Zhuo was a big demon king, synonymous with cruelty, cold-bloodedness, and unreasonableness, and would not tolerate someone disobeying him in his territory, or even making trouble, so he would naturally eliminate all the restless elements, including the Qiang people and their Di people.

Immediately whispered to Dong Huang: "Dong Gongzi, our Di clan has been convinced since the defeat to General Dong back then, and has never dared to rebel again. ”

Dong Huang snickered in his heart, but there was a look of surprise on his face, and he pretended to be puzzled: "What does the patriarch mean by this, aren't you my uncle's old friend?" How can you say such things, how can we beat you Di people? ”

What's the blame if you don't hit us? The patriarch of the Di people secretly scarlet in his heart, I didn't say that I asked you not to beat our Di clan, but I just said that I surrendered to Dong Zhuo's demon king and didn't dare to disobey Dong Demon King, so you said that you wouldn't beat us, isn't this a self-defeat, and the fox's tail is exposed.

Although the patriarch of the Di people thought that Dong Huang had revealed a flaw, he directly exposed: "Dong Gongzi don't coax me, it must be General Dong who ordered Gongzi to lead the troops to destroy my Di people, and Gongzi came to our village." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Diren warriors present panicked one by one, and some of them shouted directly: "Patriarch, catch him, he is the nephew of the demon king, and we will be safe if we arrest him!" ”

"Let's all go out first!" The patriarch waved his hand, and sent the soldiers present out, "Don't tell the clansmen about this matter first, do you understand?" ”

It's not that the patriarch of the Di people didn't think about kidnapping Dong Huang as a hostage, but he thought of Dong Zhuo's cruelty, he hesitated, he didn't dare, he was afraid that the entire Di people would be cornered, the shadow that Dong Zhuo left them back then was too deep, Dong Zhuo was a nightmare that he, and even the entire Di people, couldn't get rid of.

Seeing Dong Huang sitting on his seat without fear and staring at himself with a playful eye, the patriarch of the Di people used all his strength and said: "I, Fu Yang, swear in the name of the head of the Di clan, and I am willing to lead more than 100,000 people of the Di clan to defect to General Dong, and I will never dare to have two hearts, and I also ask Dong Gongzi to intercede with General Dong on behalf of us and others, leaving us Di people a way to live." ”
