Shi Zhan and the others returned to the camp with the corpses of the dead soldiers and the heads of the Qiang people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When they returned, there were many people standing at the gate of the camp, and many of them were in tears as they looked at the corpses on horseback. These dozen or so people left the camp in the morning, and now they are in the middle of life and death.

After Shi Zhan returned to the camp, he went back to the big tent directly, and he didn't come out inside. Wang Shicheng instructed the bones of the dead soldiers to be put away in simple coffins, and the heads of the Qian people were inserted on the tips of spears and erected in the school yard. Shi Min looked at the heads of the Qiang people on the school field from a distance, and watched the dead soldiers being put into the coffin, and the living soldiers next to him looked at them and burst into tears.

These iron-blooded soldiers never shed tears in the face of death on the battlefield, and they never shed tears when they were injured, but when they lost their loved ones, they could no longer suppress their emotions.

More than a dozen people who died, experienced a series of treacherous wars, and did not let them lose their lives, originally thought that they would be reunited with their families in a few days, but died at the hands of the Qiang people.

Died at the hands of the Karma who ruled over them. Just because they are Han Chinese!

Shi Zhan stayed in the big tent and didn't come out, Shi Min wanted to go in to see the situation, but was stopped by Wang Shicheng. Wang Shicheng knew Shi Zhan's current mood and knew what he was thinking, so he advised Shi Min not to disturb.

Not long after Shi Zhan and the others returned to the camp, King Qing Shi Zun had already received the news and went to the palace.

Shi Hu was having fun with the women in the palace and was drunk. The dancing girls danced, and the eyes of the stone tigers were blurred. Shi Hu was picking up the wine glass, but before he could drink it, the attendant ran in from outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qing asks to see you." ”

"Huh? What is he doing at this time? Call him in. Shi Hu pushed away the women on both sides and pulled his clothes.

Shi Zun walked into the hall, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he naturally understood what Shi Hu was doing just now. Kneeling down with a smile and saluting: "The son sees his father." ”

"Get up, what have you come to tell me?" Shi Hu was a little impatient.

Shi Zun got up slowly, still smiling, deliberately adding the stinky face of Shi Hu who didn't look at it, and then said: "The son has a treasure dedicated to his father, so I came to disturb him." ”

When Shi Hu heard the baby, he turned his anger into joy, his neck stretched forward, and asked, "Baby? What baby? ”

Shi Zun clapped his hands, and a waiter outside the door walked in with a box and stood next to Shi Zun. Shi Zun patted the box lightly and said to Shi Hu: "Father, this is the treasure that the son wants to give to his father." ”

"Come on! Show me what kind of treasure it is, and ask you to take it so seriously. Shi Hu waved his hand at the inner attendant.

The waiter carefully held the box, slowly walked up the steps, and placed it in front of Shi Hu. Shi Hu pulled the sleeve of his coat, then opened the wooden box and found that it was a fox fur.

"Fox fur? That's what you're talking about? Shi Hu seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, don't underestimate this fox fur, this is not an ordinary fox fur." Shi Zun was unhurried and replied with a smile.

Shi Hu picked up the fox fur and asked while looking at it, "What's unusual about this fox fur?" ”

"This fox fur is called a thousand armpit fox fur, and it is only a small piece of fox skin under the armpit, less than half a palm, if you want to make such a fox fur, it is not a simple thing, it takes a thousand fox skins to make enough material."

Shi Hu listened to Shi Zun's words, took a closer look at the fox fur in his hand, smacked his lips, and said: "Touch this fur carefully, it is really different from ordinary fox fur, it is softer." ”

"This fox fur is a fox fur that Erchen has been collecting in Li Cheng for two whole years, and it took several months to find the best craftsmen around Li Cheng, and it was just made not long ago. Then he quickly whipped and sent it to Yecheng, and this morning the minister got this thousand-armpit fox fur, so he immediately entered the palace to dedicate it to his father. It's winter now, and this fox fur just gives his father the cold. Originally, Erchen wanted to take it with him when he returned to the palace this time, but the craftsman really didn't have time to make it, so Erchen knew that this fox Qiu came a little late, and asked his father to surrender. Shi Zun said, pretending to be ashamed.

When Shi Hu heard this, he put down the fox fur and said with a smile: "King Qing has a heart, you have taken great pains to send this thousand-armpit fox fur to me, what a crime, come here, give King Qing two Dongzhu and ten jade!" ”

Shi Zun hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the sons and daughters don't ask for rewards for offering treasures, and the father should take back his fate." ”

"It's rare that you are so filial, although you are my biological son, how can I let you work in vain?"

"Then the minister will thank my father for the reward!" Shi Zun said, kneeling down and kowtowing, secretly proud in his heart.

At this moment, the chamberlain ran in and said, "Your Majesty, General Liu, the commander of the patrol battalion, asks to see you." ”

Shi Hu frowned and asked, "What is he doing here?" Now that the New Year is approaching, he doesn't want to patrol Yecheng and the surrounding areas, what are you doing here? No, no, no! ”

Shi Zun immediately accosted on the side: "Father, I have heard that this Commander Liu has always been cautious, if it is not a major matter, it is estimated that he will not disturb his father, and the sons feel that it is better to announce him in, listen to Commander Liu has any urgent matters to report, if he teases his father, it is too late to punish him." ”

Shi Hu listened to Shi Zun's words, pinched his beard and nodded: "It seems that there is some reason, call him in!" ”

"Liu Rong, the commander of the Xuan Patrol Defense Battalion, will meet you~" The chamberlain shouted after running out of the door.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person running in in a panic, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "Liu Rong, the commander of the minister's patrol battalion, see Your Majesty!" ”

"What's so flustered, you've been on the battlefield with me, and you're also a warrior of my clan, can you have some success?" Shi Hu accused: "What made you come over in such a hurry." ”

"Your Majesty, early this morning, the minister led people to inspect the area around the west mountain of Yecheng, and saw that some people of our Qian tribe killed more than a dozen Han people and robbed those Han people of their money.

"Didn't you just kill a dozen Han people? Wouldn't it be nice for them to take a few cows and sheep or pay some money to offset it, and you will also come to report to me about it? Shi Hu said, patting the table.

Liu Rong buried his head in fright, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's words." ”

"You say, if you can't tell one, two, three, four, five, I'll cut you down!"

"Yes......" Liu Rong said in fear: "Originally, Weichen thought that this was also a trivial matter, and he was escorting that group of people to prepare to return to the city, but who knew that he met Xihuahou halfway, and Xihuahou was indiscriminate and wanted to take that group of people away." “

"Huh? What does Zhan'er have to do with this? Why did he take people away? It has nothing to do with him to deal with this kind of thing. Did you agree with him taking people away? Shi Zhan asked suspiciously.

"Weichen naturally disagreed, because this matter is not under the control of Xihua Hou, but Xihua Hou said that these Han people who were killed were soldiers under him, and he had to ask Weichen to hand over our people to him for disposal, but Weichen refused, so Xihuahou put a knife on Weichen's neck and threatened that if I didn't hand over people to him, he would even kill the people from our patrol battalion!" Liu Rong said, and he didn't dare to raise his head even more.

"What? Where did he get the right to dispose of us Karma? Even if he takes a dozen Han Chinese as his subordinates, he should say hello to me if he wants to deal with my people, right? Shi Hu was a little angry, and then ordered: "Come on, go and bring Xihua Hou into the palace." ”

"Father, don't be angry, the fifth brother may also be impulsive, maybe the people he took away were not killed by the fifth brother." Shi Zun pretended to be comforted on the side.

"This rabbit cub, I just rewarded him a few days ago, so I'll do something for me!" Shi Hu slapped the table angrily.

Shi Zun was silent, secretly happy in his heart.

Shi Zhan's military camp was still immersed in great grief, and after a while, the people in the palace came to the door of Shi Zhan's military camp and shouted: "Xihua is waiting to come out to receive the order!" ”

The guards hurriedly went to the big tent to report, and it didn't take long for Shi Zhan to come to the gate of the camp, knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted: "Minister Shi Zhan has the order." ”

"According to Your Majesty's instructions, Xuan Xihua Hou Shizhan will enter the palace to see him, and there must be no mistake."

"The minister takes the order." After Shi Zhan finished speaking, he stood up silently.

"Big brother......" Wang Shicheng took a step forward, grabbed Shi Zhan's arm, and shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, Li Chang is back, you explain to him, you two are optimistic about the military camp, wait for me to come back." Shi Zhan patted Wang Shicheng's hand, and then pushed it away.

"Master Hou, please hurry up, Your Majesty can wait." The proclaimed guard urged.

Shi Zhan glanced at him, mounted his horse, and said to him, "Lead the way ahead." ”

When the guards saw Shi Zhan on his horse, he rode his horse and ran towards Yecheng, and Shi Zhan followed. As soon as Shi Zhan left, Shi Min, who got the news, rushed over, and didn't have time to say a word to Shi Zhan.

"Third uncle, what's going on?" Shi Min asked Wang Shicheng.

"Your Majesty summoned it, probably because we killed the people of the Qiang tribe today."

"I also killed those pups, and I also have a share, I'll go to Your Majesty!" Shi Min said that he was going to leave the camp.

"Xiao Min, don't go! Waiting for news from your father! Wang Shicheng grabbed Shi Min.

Shi Min clenched his fists fiercely and gritted his teeth. Turning around and pushing away the crowd, he walked into the camp again.

Shi Min sat alone on the school grounds, looking at the severed heads of the Qiang people, these heads had different expressions, some of them still had their mouths open, their eyes open, and they were obviously extremely frightened when they were cut off.

Not long ago, Shi Min did not realize the contradiction between the Han and the Qian, but only recently slowly understood that the Han people had no status in Zhao State, and the Qians could slaughter the Han people at will, and they could be exempted from punishment by handing over cattle, sheep or money, and the Han people even beat the Qian, let alone kill the Qian. Such an unfair regulation made Shi Min's heart deeply disgusted.
