About half an hour later, at dusk, the Huns and the big temple Lu Kun finally came to the royal court and entered the felt tent of Maodun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the head of the skull was in charge of living alone, he had the right to enter and exit the royal court freely, and the Xiongnu did not have a solid wall like Great Qin, and it was still necessary to report layer by layer to enter, so the two galloped all the way without encountering many obstacles.

Entering the felt tent, Mao Dun, dressed in a left hair and mink robe, was pacing back and forth, sometimes stopping and sometimes shaking his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the huge felt tent, the light was quite dim and hazy.

"The subordinates see the big single Yu."

"The old slave sees the big single Yu."

After the two stood still, they saluted the Hun monarchs and ministers to Mao Dun together.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Mao Dun hurriedly raised his head, and his hanging heart fell:

"The two of you are finally here, but they have not arrived for a long time, and the widow still thinks that something has happened on the road?"

For Lu Kun and the Huaxia craftsmen he recruited after him, Mao Dun regarded them as treasures and attached great importance to them, and strictly ordered his subordinates to treat them well, without the slightest accident.

Now it was only a few dozen miles away, but the two of them had no news, and Mao Dun's heart was really sweating.

This royal court is nominally directly subordinate to Shan Yu, but in fact, the knights in charge of the garrison around are divided into different Xiongnu kings and major generals and other twenty-four chiefs, most of which are naturally loyal to Shan Yu, but there are also some ghosts in their hearts, waiting for an excellent opportunity to do things, so the surrounding of the royal court is not very peaceful.

Because they did not return to the king, there were often private fights and conflicts.

While waiting, Mao Dun also blamed himself slightly, if he sent a team of elite iron cavalry directly under him, it must be much more perfect.

At this time, seeing the two of them return with their whole bodies, they were relieved, otherwise, after a little time, Mao Dun would probably have to personally lead the iron horse to meet the two.

The royal court is hundreds of miles away, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is still turbulent, the undercurrent is surging, the people's hearts are uneven, and the country is divided.

Everything stems from Maudun's early move.

And before he attacked, the 100,000 horn-sounding string control soldiers trained by the real Maudon in history were only more than 10,000 single soldiers, and they had no strength to fight.

This is one of the reasons why Mao Dun has not carried out his own action to unify the desert, now although the kings of the Huns are quite dissatisfied with their own behavior of killing their fathers and standing on their own, and they have ghosts in their hearts, but they are still the Xiongnu's single Yu in name, bearing the mandate of heaven, plus the support of the Xiongnu with the highest credibility of the Great Witch, although the strength is weak, the soldiers are insufficient, but for the time being, no one is willing to risk the world's disapproval.

In this situation, it is basically the one who makes the first move.

As a ruler with a brain ahead of his time, Maudun would not know.

Therefore, he has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to win the hearts of the people, especially the military, through the annual tribal congress of the Xiongnu.

And if you want to win people's hearts, Lu Kun and the gunpowder he is developing have become an indispensable part.

Even, it includes the so-called overlord that Dawu has just discovered.

As long as these two things can be successfully accomplished, at the tribal assembly in the near future, he will be able to kill all opponents in one fell swoop, win over the hearts of the herdsmen and sergeants of various tribes who believe in ghosts and gods, and initially achieve the goal of unifying the Xiongnu tribes!

Mao Dun knew that above the tribal assembly, those prominent clans who had long been premeditated would definitely take advantage of this to make trouble and force themselves to step down, so he must not miss out.

Once this move is successful, the future will be bright, and once it fails, what awaits him will be hell from which there will be no return!

As an important part, Lu Kun clearly cannot afford to lose.

That's why Maudon is in such a hurry.

How shrewd the skull was, naturally he heard the slightly reproachful tone in Mao Dun's words, and was subconsciously shocked in his heart, as if the tragic situation of the dissident who had been tortured by Mao Dun for no reason had already appeared in his mind.

He knew that the only way to do it was to say nothing.

So, after the big thrifty skull spoke, he was witty and silent for the first time.

Not only that, but in silence, he threw a rather innocent look at Lu Kun, the big temple next to him.

"The skull is cunning and cunning, this look may seem unusual, but it will obviously make Maudun's attention turn to me."

After a slight glance behind the skull, Lu Kun couldn't help but chuckle secretly in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good.

Jiang is still old and spicy, I have to say that after the skull, he has served two Shan Yu, and his ability to observe words and colors must also be perfect, such as the realm of refinement.

"Qi Da Dan Yu, Da Jian summoned suddenly, the humble post was negligent for a while, and he was obsessed with the development of gunpowder, so he delayed for a while, hoping that Da Dan would forgive his sins."

Lu Kun bowed deeply and said stubbornly.

After speaking, he also secretly glanced at Mao Dun with his afterglow, and saw that the latter didn't say much, and his heart went up and down in an instant.

"It doesn't matter." Mao Dun waved his hand lightly and said, "The widow is just worried about the safety of the two, and he has no intention of blaming him. ”

Even if you want to blame, you have to wait until the situation is stable, Mao Dun secretly scolded in his heart.

I am not stupid~, now is the time to employ people, and I must not lose people's hearts for a trivial matter, especially a key person like Lu Kun who may change the situation of the war.

When he heard Lu Kun say the word gunpowder, Mao Dun's eyes froze, flashing a few hints of brilliance, and a few ripples suddenly appeared in his heart, but he was still plain on the surface:

"That'...... According to the Great Temple, this gunpowder has been successfully developed, or has it entered what stage? ”

As a traverser, Mao Dun naturally knew that once the gunpowder was successfully developed, it would bring earth-shattering changes to this world that was still in the age of cold weapons, and it might even change the course of history.

Even as the crossing progresses, the wheels of history have been deflected.

"Sure enough......" It seems that he had long expected Mao Dun to ask like this, and Lu Kun, who was still frightened before, couldn't wait for Mao Dun to finish speaking, so he couldn't wait to answer:

"Although he has experienced many hardships, fortunately blessed by the heavens of immortality, Lu Kun has fulfilled his mission."

In fact, when Da Jian successfully transferred the spearhead to his side, Lu Kun came out to speak, which was a temptation, or a gamble, and he gambled that Mao Dun would definitely ask about the gunpowder talk he had drawn first.

Now it seems that I made the right bet.

Lu Kun couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

One side relaxed but the other was suddenly nervous, after hearing what Lu Kun said, Mao Dun's face changed greatly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his chest accumulated and undulated, his face twitched~ twitched, his pupils contracted, and his sharp eyes locked directly on Lu Kun in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his ears:

"What ???"

"Gunpowder...... It was really developed? ”
