Chapter 4 Encountering nobles on the road
It is only said that Liu Jin thought that the Huns did not find themselves hiding in the tree, although he was afraid, he still tried his best to adjust his breathing, trying not to make a sound, so as not to expose himself.
Under the tree, Tirnado saw that his subordinates had surrounded the big tree where Liu Jin was hiding, and a fierce smile appeared on his face. Then he asked the Hun soldiers in Chinese: "Warriors, the enemy is on the tree, what do you say?" ”
After the Huns defended themselves and Huo Quai, there were many people who descended to the Han in the south, and they were called the Southern Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty, and there was a Hun Zhonglang who would monitor and protect them. Because these Xiongnu people trade and communicate with the Han people all the year round, many people can speak and understand Chinese, and as the elite of the Huns, they are naturally no exception.
They heard the question of the Hundred Elders, and they understood what Tyrnado meant. They all cooperated and shouted in Chinese: "Kill, kill, kill". The sound was loud enough to be heard clearly within a radius of several miles, and it was really worthy of the elite men and horses under the command of the Hun King.
These few words can frighten Liu Jin on the tree, if you can still be lucky before. So now the performance of the Huns is enough to show that the Huns have known that they are hiding in the tree, Liu Jinxin said: "It's over, it seems that the master is glorious today."
Tirnado was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, with such a belligerent and daring subordinate, he also had face, didn't he? Immediately, Tirnado confidently ordered: "The archer will shoot him down for me."
The Hun soldiers who got the order immediately opened their bows and arrows and shot at the tree with all their might, and for a time the arrows rained down, enveloping the entire tree.
Liu Jin, who was hiding in the tree, was shot by this rain of arrows and had no place to hide, so he had to wave two scimitars to block the arrows while jumping down from the tree, ready to fight to the death.
"Kill", as soon as Liu Jin appeared, more than 20 Huns who were waiting for the battle spontaneously launched a charge in the direction of Liu Jin without waiting for Tirnado's order.
At this moment, dense feathered arrows shot out from the distant woods like flying locusts, and more than a dozen Huns gathered together were shot and killed on the spot.
Liu Jin, who had just landed, saw this scene and thought that Hao Si had found reinforcements, and his confidence suddenly increased. Wielding two scimitars, he slashed one of the Huns in front of him in one fell swoop.
The Huns, who had suffered a sudden change, immediately became a mess, and Tirnado was lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows, and his heart was extremely frightened. Hurriedly hid behind a tree and poked out half of his head, wanting to see how many Han troops had come. But the attackers in the darkness did not light torches.
Not only that, but the attackers came in another rain of arrows, and seven or eight Huns were killed by arrows. At this time, Tirnado did not dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly retreat."
Before he could finish speaking, a feathered arrow struck Tyrnador's face head-on, and the sudden trembling tail of the arrow was like the smile of death, taking Tirnador's young life with him.
At this time, the remaining dozens of Huns dared to stay, spread their legs and ran for their lives.
Liu Jin, who was lucky enough to pick up a life, fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, and he was extremely tired, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, snorting and panting.
When the Huns walked away, more than a dozen middle-aged men in cloth clothes appeared from the darkness with strong bows. A bearded man in the lead walked in three steps and two steps, and soon came to Liu Jin, clasped his fists and saluted: "This military master is good at martial arts, and he can persist until now in the siege of dozens of Huns, and I admire him."
At this time, Liu Jin saw clearly that the person who came was not the Han army brought by Hao Si, so he hurriedly got up, hugged his fists and saluted: "Don't dare, don't dare, if it weren't for the righteous to help, I'm afraid that I would die here today." Liu Jin remembered the life-saving grace of the righteous man, and also asked the righteous man to accept a certain gift and express his gratitude." As he spoke, Liu Jin hugged his fists and bowed again.
The bearded man saw that although Liu Jin was in rags, he was also very majestic, and couldn't help but nod secretly. Seeing that Liu Jin was about to give a salute again, he hurriedly hugged Liu Jin with his hand, and said at the same time: "There is no need to do this, we also see the Huns committing murder here, and the military master you are alone, so you can help, and you don't deserve the great gift of the military master." As he spoke, the bearded man picked up Liu Jin, who was about to give a salute, and laughed.
Just as the two were greeting, more than a dozen cloth-clothed men in the distance also came closer. After Liu Jinyi thanked everyone one by one, he asked the bearded man: "I don't know where the strong man is, why he came to this barren mountain and wilderness."
The bearded man listened to Liu Jin's words, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Don't hide it from the military master, we are herdsmen nearby, just because winter is about to enter recently, and there is still a shortage of food for the winter at home. Therefore, it is a coincidence that I want to hunt some wild beasts before the winter to supplement the needs of the family, and I don't want to meet the Huns here."
What the bearded man said was polite and polite, but he couldn't hide Liu Jin, who had been secretly observing the bearded man. Liu Jin found that he seemed to have something hidden in his words, although he was curious, but Liu Jin was inconvenient to ask more. In order to avoid embarrassment, Liu Jin turned to say: "I see, I am ashamed that a benefactor has saved his life, but he still doesn't know the benefactor's surname." I also hope that the benefactor will inform me that Liu Jin will not be grateful for the benefactor's life-saving grace in the future."
After a pause, Liu Jin said again: "A certain is just a pawn in the army, and please don't be commensurate with the military master." If the righteous man looks up to his brother, he might as well call him Brother Liu."
Seeing that Liu Jin's words were sincere, and Liu Jin's performance was also in line with his appetite, the bearded man immediately laughed and said: "That is the case, then so-and-so is too big." Brother Liu doesn't have to be like this, it's also my blessing to meet Brother Liu today, so Brother Liu doesn't have to care! Lie saw that Brother Liu was dressed as an officer, he must be an officer from this Yanmen Pass."
"Yes, the younger brother is the scout captain of Yanmen Pass." Liu Jin felt that he couldn't hide it from others while dressed as a soldier, but he also frankly admitted his identity as a scout. Anyway, in Liu Jin's opinion, as a scout who bears the heavy responsibility of the eyes of the whole army, it is an extremely glorious identity, and there is nothing to be ashamed of, it is better to admit it happily.
Meng Lie didn't expect Liu Jin to admit his identity so readily, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Jin twice, feeling a little surprised by Liu Jin's openness, and at the same time having a good impression of Liu Jin.
At this time, a teenager next to him suddenly interjected: "Father, I just saw that General Liu was injured, let's give him some medicine!" ”
Hearing the young man's words, Meng Lie remembered that Liu Jin was injured, and hurriedly said: "It's all Meng Lie's carelessness, it's really ashamed to forget that Brother Liu is injured." Yong'er, don't you take out the knife wound medicine for your father and put it on for General Liu." The second half of the sentence was said to the young man next to him.
Liu Jin hurriedly excused himself, but the father and son of the Meng family were gracious. Liu Jin saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had to let Meng Lie's father and son give him good medicine. Not to mention, the wound medicine of the Meng family father and son is better than the wound medicine rationed by Liu Jin's army. As soon as Liu Jin applied the wound medicine, he felt that the wound was not as painful as before, and the bleeding gradually stopped.
At the moment of dressing, Liu Jin and Meng Lie had another conversation, and then they realized that since they entered the woods, these sturdy herdsmen had been secretly observing themselves.
This made Liu Jin a little embarrassed, and dared to feel that he thought that the best hidden kung fu was not worth mentioning in front of others.
"Master, we killed so many Huns just now, I'm afraid that the remaining Huns won't give up, let's go quickly." An old man about fifty years old and dressed as a servant reminded.
Unexpectedly, before Meng Lie could speak, the young man named Meng Yong preemptively said: "Uncle Chen, you are too careful, the Huns we killed with random arrows just now are full of fart, and I haven't seen how powerful they are."
Before the young man could finish speaking, Meng Lie next to him just glared at him, and the young man was afraid of his father's majesty and immediately closed his mouth obediently.
"The dog is young and doesn't understand etiquette, but it makes Brother Liu laugh." Meng Lie said with some shame.
"What Brother Meng said, Ling Lang is a young hero, but it is very admirable. However, what this old man said is also very reasonable, as far as I know, the Huns will soon be moving south, and my brother should make plans early." Liu Jin first praised the young man, and then reminded Meng Lie to say.
Now Meng Lie didn't dare to be careless, he knew that Liu Jin was a scout, and he would definitely not be untargeted, since Liu Jin said so, he must have gotten the information a long time ago. At that moment, he hurriedly said: "In this case, let's go back and prepare, so as not to run into the army of the Huns."
"Whether it's good or not, I also have to rush back to Yanmen Pass to report this military situation, let's say goodbye here, the grace of saving my life will be rewarded in the future." Liu Jin said goodbye when he saw Meng Lie say this.
After thinking about it, Liu Jin said again, "In the future, if my brother encounters difficulties, he can go to Yanmen Pass to find me, and Jin Ding should do his best to repay today's kindness."
That's what he said, but Liu Jin didn't think so in his heart. It's hard to meet a savior, how can you just let you go so easily, in case you run into the Huns, with your current figure, it will be glorious.
Sure enough, when Meng Lie was about to leave, Liu Jin also pretended to be struggling and stood up. But before he could stand firmly, he sat down on the ground again, with a painful expression on his face.
Meng Lie is a real person, where would he have thought that Liu Jin had so much careful thinking. Seeing Liu Jin's struggling appearance and painful expression, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu is too injured and physically exhausted?" ”。
Yes, now Meng Lieke fell in. Liu Jin, who had been waiting for Meng Lie to say this, hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, pretending to be ashamed and said: "Maybe it was because he lost too much blood during the fierce battle, so he was a little tired." Brother Meng let's go first, Jin will rest here for a while, and it's not too late to go."
Hearing this, where can Meng Lie go, he struggled for a long time in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"In this case, Lie can't let Brother Liu be here alone, if Brother Liu doesn't dislike it, how about moving to the cold house for a while?" It was as if Meng Lie had made some kind of decision.
Liu Jin glanced at Uncle Chen, who wanted to speak next to him, lest things change again and he would be in danger again. Pretending to be ashamed, he hurriedly said: "Where is it, I'm afraid of disturbing the house."
