Chapter 372: Wen Ji Returns to Han
Liu Qi finally fled in Cai Wenji's tent.
This is mainly because the other party praised the poems he wrote, praised his poems as a flower, and commented on the wonders one by one.
Liu Qi is actually a big plagiarist, and the appreciation of poetry is also the kind of fur that he learned in high school, how can he get an axe in front of the real everyone? He was afraid that he had missed something, so he escaped from the camp on the grounds that "in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows are in a bad room, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient", and returned to his tent.
And the soldiers of the pro-guard army around Liu Qi all looked at Liu Qi with an ambiguous look.
"Hehe, no wonder the lord wants to redeem this Cai Wenji by name, it seems that he has been admired for a long time."
"That's that, you look at the one hand that people play, and they directly hooked the lord into the account, during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the talented Dongfang Shuo hooked up with the talented girl Zhuo Wenjun with a song of phoenix and begged the phoenix, which became a romantic story, and now this talented woman also hooked up with a tune, oh, no, it attracted the lord, and naturally it was a romantic story, but I don't know what this song is? Is it also a phoenix? ”
"Otherwise, the phoenix is male, the phoenix is female, even if it is, this song must be a phoenix seeking a phoenix."
"But the lord came out quickly enough, is it because of the perennial battle, can't it last?"
"It looks like it should be, you look at the embarrassed look on the lord's face, it must be because he was excited and couldn't hold it"
…….
Liu Qi naturally didn't know about these "rumors" from the army, he returned to the tent like a thief, and after some hard thinking. In desperation, I had to write down a few more poems in my memory in order to prove that there was indeed a so-called "poetry collection", so that Cai Wenji would not push herself too much.
"Alas, it's just a pity that there are no poetry criticism works such as "Words in the World" and "Suiyuan Poems" at this time, otherwise I can use them to deal with it."
This time, in order to show the difference in style, Liu Qi wrote a poem in a graceful style with a sad face. It is Li Shangyin's "Untitled" "Last Night's Stars and Last Night's Wind", preparing to prove that he did get a collection of poems in case Cai Wenji came to him again to talk about poetry, and those two poems were indeed not written by himself.
"Well, I just wanted to tell the truth, why don't you believe it?" Liu Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head gently.
Early the next morning, Liu Qi got up at the urging of Liao Hua, and it turned out that Hu Chuquan invited Liu Qi to hunt in the suburbs when he saw that the people sent out by Liu Bao had not returned.
Although he lost to Chu Gong in the martial arts competition last night. He was frightened by the Han army's advanced repeater crossbows and sharp Mo knives, but Hu Chuquan always thought that their riding and archery skills would definitely be stronger than the Han Dynasty, so he pulled Liu Qi to shoot and hunt to show their accurate archery skills and regain some confidence.
Can Liu Qiyan not know the intention of calling the kitchen spring? But he resolutely agreed, because he was about to take advantage of this to further damage the confidence of the Huns.
Although it is now a harsh winter, the wind is howling. Ice and snow are everywhere, and many animals have gone into hibernation. But there will still be many wild beasts in the snowfield, including birds of prey such as eagles and eagles in the sky, wild beasts such as deer, roe deer, and roe deer on the ground, and occasionally fierce beasts such as wolves, wild boars, and tigers.
Liu Qi rode the cloud horse and walked in the front, but Hu Chuquan, as the master, did not dare to go hand in hand with Liu Qi. Instead, they subconsciously lagged behind a horse's head to show their awe of Liu Qi, and behind them were more than a thousand soldiers of the Huns and the Han Dynasty, each of whom was full of energy and excited.
The road is slippery due to snowy weather. The speed of this team was not fast, more than an hour had passed, and it had only traveled more than thirty miles, but by this time it had seen a large number of wild beasts haunting the empty and boundless grassland.
Because they saw some small beasts, such as hares, pheasants, etc., Hu Chuquan was not interested, so he asked his subordinates to shoot a few at random, and then he found that the soldiers under the command of Chu Gong were not only good at swords, but also good at archery, even compared to the Hun warriors, they were not inferior, and the pride in his heart was a little less, and he became more in awe of this Chu Gong.
At this moment, a low roar was suddenly heard from ahead, and even the steed that sat down was too frightened to move forward.
Hu Chuquan was stunned, and then ecstatic, for he could tell that the low roar came from a fierce tiger.
Sure enough, just a moment later, I saw a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes appear not far in front of him, and a gust of fishy wind blew and pounced directly on them.
It turned out that the tiger was foraging on the grassland, and was suddenly alarmed by this hunting team, although it was the king of beasts, but when it heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves nearby, it still subconsciously dodged, but it chose the wrong direction, and as a result, the guide rushed straight in the direction of Liu Qi and Hu Chuquan.
"Not good." Seeing the tiger rushing over, Hu Chuquan couldn't help but be a little caught off guard, and hurriedly opened his bow and arrows to shoot the tiger, but because he was also a little nervous in his heart, and he was frightened when he sat down on the horse, the arrow was not accurate, and the horse rushed towards the tiger instead.
Hu Chuquan was immediately frightened, and even threw the bow in his hand.
"It's over, I didn't expect that my dignified Hun Shan Yu was actually killed by a fierce tiger, what a sad thing." Hu Chuquan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
At this moment, Hu Chuquan suddenly heard a sound of breaking the sky beside him, and then heard a burst of cheers behind him.
Hu Chuquan looked closely, but saw a feather arrow pass through the tiger's eye, until the arrow feathers, this small feather arrow took the tiger's life, its huge claws stayed less than a foot away from him, but just this foot, but this tiger has no possibility of eating people.
It was only at this time that Hu Chuquan finally confirmed that he had been saved, and when he was left behind the disaster, Hu Chuquan immediately said loudly: "I don't know which warrior saved me Hu Chuquan, and this king will be rewarded." And I want to crown you as the first warrior of the Huns, General Zuo. ”
Hu Chuquan always believed that the person who could have such archery skills must be a warrior in the Hun army, so he immediately did not hesitate to reward him.
But when Hu Chuquan looked back, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because the person who shot the tiger to death actually seemed to be the Duke of Chu who didn't look very strong, because the Duke of Chu was holding a strong bow in his hand, and on the top of the strong bow was a wolf tooth arrow, which was exactly the same as the wolf tooth arrow stuck in the tiger's head. The iron-tired strong bow was held like a full moon, and the other party's hand was as stable as Mount Tai, not moving at all, although the arrow was not shot, but Hu Chuquan dared to guarantee it. As long as you let go, you can definitely achieve the effect of shooting an arrow through the tiger's head.
"Could it be that Duke Chu saved me? How can he have such superb marksmanship? In this way, could it be that Duke Chu himself turned out to be a martial arts general? This, this, the descendants of the Liu family have such a powerful figure, no wonder the Han family can be revived. ”
Hu Chuquan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to Liu Qi, bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Thank you Duke Chu for saving your life." Xiao Wang will definitely be broken by the Duke of Chu in the future, and he will not give up. ”
Liu Qi slowly let go of his hand. put down the bow and arrow, and said with a slow smile: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, the big order is not polite, hehe, I'm afraid that one arrow won't be able to subdue this beast." I was about to shoot another arrow, but I didn't expect this beast to be so useless, and just like that, he died. It really makes you laugh. ”
Hu Chuquan pretended not to hear someone's pretending to be forced, and didn't dare to say that as long as he was in one day, the entire Xiongnu tribe would swear allegiance to the Han Dynasty. Loyal to the Duke of Chu, as long as the Duke of Chu commands, there will definitely be no disobedience.
Liu Qi listened to Hu Chuquan's words, and naturally he was very happy, in fact, he wanted to shoot an arrow through the Hun Shan Yu in front of him and completely destroy the Huns, but he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, this Hu Chuquan finally served him, how could he let him die? What's more, in addition to Hu Chuquan in the Xiongnu ethnic group now, Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, has the highest status, if Hu Chuquan dies, it must be Liu Bao who inherited Shan Yu's position, and he just robbed his wife, how can he not hold a grudge? Therefore, as long as Liu Bao inherits the position of Xiongnu Shan Yu. It is bound not to be willing to obey his own orders.
What's more, Liu Qi also knew that this Liu Bao was a big figure in later history, and his son Liu Yuan was an important leader at the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, and established Zhao Han, the power of the Xiongnu in the Central Plains, and his son Liu Cong destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, so he would not let Liu Bao obtain the position of the Xiongnu Shan Yu no matter what.
It is precisely because of these reasons that he currently needs to support Hu Chuquan as his agent in the Xiongnu, and now that he has saved Hu Chuquan's life, it is naturally more conducive to the implementation of this plan.
Liu Qi hurriedly dismounted and helped Hu Chuquan up, asking him not to be polite, and then shot some prey indiscriminately, until it was nearly noon, and then he returned to Baitu.
At this time, it happened that the men and horses sent by Liu Bao picked up Cai Wenji's two sons, and Liu Qi hurriedly ordered Liao Hua to send these two children to Cai Wenji's tent.
Cai Wenji, who experienced this life and death, hugged her two sons and cried bitterly, but she was also more grateful to Liu Qi, thinking of the other party's great kindness, and didn't know how to repay it.
At this moment, I saw that the camp tent was opened, and a person flashed in, it was Liu Qi.
"Thank you Duke Chu for your great kindness, the concubine is broken and has no way to repay it." Cai Wenji hurriedly saluted and said with tears in her eyes.
Liu Qi hurriedly returned the salute, waved her hand so she didn't have to mind, and then said, "Miss Cai, everything is packed up, right?" If it is still early today, we will leave this place at once, return to Beidi County, and then go to Chang'an via Beidi, and I am here mainly to inform you. ”
"Back to Chugong, we are all ready, and we can set off at any time." Cai Wenji saluted Liu Qi again, and her heart stirred violently: "After ten years of suffering, I, Cai Yan, can finally return to my hometown, and what is even more unexpected is that this time I can return to my hometown with my two children." Father, don't you know that your grave is still there? My daughter is going to see you right away. (To be continued......)
