Wang Zhi walked out, and Liu Xiu called Zhang Fei and Hao Zhao in, ready to chat with them for a while. Zhang Fei is a few years older than Hao Zhao, and he takes care of Hao Zhao very much, and the two are almost inseparable from Liu Xiu's side. As soon as he entered the account, Zhang Fei smiled and said to Liu Xiu: "Sir, Bodao was worried just now, he said that there are too many Huns here, and if we really want to fight, we may have to suffer." ”

Hao Zhao blushed, a little embarrassed, turned around and took down a copper kettle from the fire pit and poured Liu Xiu a glass of wine. Liu Xiu covered his hot wine glass, looked at Hao Zhao, and asked casually, "What did Yide tell you, is he bragging again?" ”

Hao Zhao shook his head heavily: "Brother Yide didn't brag, he just had confidence in adults." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and didn't say anything. Last time, he was ready to go back to Luoyang to kill the Quartet, and left Zhang Fei in Zhuo County in advance, and later drove Xu Yu back to his hometown in Zhuo County and broke into Cao Mansion alone, and later Zhang Fei and others were frightened after knowing the details, until Liu Xiu walked out of Luoyang Prison safely, and he was not injured at all, but was promoted again, and they were relieved. Although they didn't understand how Liu Xiu did it, they no longer doubted Liu Xiu's decision.

Zhang Fei believed that Liu Xiu could not be sure of anything, and he must have made up his mind and then acted. I have to say that his trust is a little blind, but Liu Xiu needs someone to trust him so blindly now, otherwise he would have something to fight with Yuan Shao and them.

"What do you think of it?" Liu Xiu took a sip of wine, and the warm wine flowed down his throat and through his chest and abdomen, and spread warmly, it was really a pleasure in this cold winter wax moon. The tent door was tightly closed, but he could hear the north wind getting tighter and tighter outside, and it was probably going to snow again.

"With the heart against the heartless, at least we have not fallen behind." Hao Zhao picked up the tongs and plucked the charcoal in the fire pit, and the red light of the fire illuminated his somewhat immature face: "The Huns advocate brute force, but they believe in witch gods and don't like to use their own brains. ”

His words seemed calm, but Liu Xiu still heard an element of uneasiness in them. He smiled and didn't explain. Hao Zhao saw it, and believed what Zhang Fei said, Liu Xiu must have come prepared, and he was by no means so impulsive as he seemed.

God is pitiful, Liu Xiu wanted to shock the Huns for a long time, but he took this matter to play a temporary intention, he just wanted to hit the Huns at first, especially the arrogance of the young Zhuang faction like Hu Zheng, and did not think about how to deal with them. After the incident, he temporarily decided to test Shan Yu's mentality. asked Liu Biao to summon Shan Yu and the Great Wizard to meet him, just to see if Shan Yu had the courage to meet him. If Shan Yu really had the idea of using force, he could only find a step down by himself and mix up the matter in front of him first.

However, Liu Biao's return surprised him very much, and the great wizard asked for Hu Zheng to wash his shame with blood, but although Shan Yu did not dare to disobey, he did not immediately send troops, which made him find an opportunity to take advantage of. Shan Yu is old, he has an instinctive awe of the Han people, he is not the most dangerous, and the great wizard is the most dangerous person.

This brought back memories of Liu Xiu's trip to western Liao, and he realized that he had spent too much time in Luoyang and ignored the nuances between the Han Chinese and the steppe peoples. The Han people are the unity of divine power and royal power, and if they envelop the Son of Heaven, they grasp everything, and the divine power of the grassland people is above the royal power, and it is the great wizard who really has the final say, not Shan Yu.

Getting rid of this great wizard who threatened to wash away his shame with blood became an urgent matter. Wang Zhi is a master of the Heavenly Master Dao, his Taoist skills are only weaker than the heir's wife Lu in the Heavenly Master Dao, and Wang Ying and others are on par, and he has more than eighty percent certainty of dealing with the Great Wizard, even if he is not successful, he can retreat with his whole body, and will not be caught by the Huns. If it is really revealed, he is not afraid, with the ring in his hand, any kind of witchcraft is a piece of cake.

Although his Dao realm is not very profound, when it comes to pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, he is almost invincible in the world now.

"You guys should rest early, you're tired after a day's journey today."

"Whoa." Zhang Fei and Hao Zhao responded at the same time, and Hao Zhao put the futon for Liu Xiu and retreated. Liu Xiu sat by the fire, deduced it carefully, and analyzed the possible situation. He didn't go to bed to rest, just took off his coat, practiced boxing in the tent, stretched his body, and was ready to go out in person if Wang Zhi missed.

As he walked around the tent, the sound of the wind brought by the swing of his fists and feet disturbed the flames in the fire pit and swayed, throwing his figure onto the tent, writhing, swaying, as if still and moving, like a demon. I don't know if it was because Hao Zhao added charcoal before he went out, or because his movement made the air circulate faster, the fire in the fire pit seemed to be a little stronger, licking the bottom of the copper kettle, making a squeaky sound.

As soon as the tent door moved, Wang Zhi flashed in, brushed the snow on his shoulders, sat naturally by the fire, took a cup, poured himself a glass of wine, tasted it leisurely, glanced at Liu Xiu, who was still boxing, and suddenly asked with some surprise: "My lord, are you the fire quality?" ”

"What kind of fire?" Liu Xiu stopped his fist and asked inexplicably.

"There are five elements in the sky, five elements in the earth, and five elements in man." Wang Zhi was speechless, Liu Xiu had three artifacts, but he had always refused to believe in Taoism, and he didn't even understand such a simple truth as the Five Elements. He carefully explained that people's physique is also divided into five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and different people have different physiques and different surnames. Ordinary people may not care too much, but for people who practice Taoism, it is very important to distinguish the five elements to which they belong, only if he chooses the same Taoism as the five elements of his physique, his progress will be fast, if he chooses not properly, if he does not practice fruitlessly, the more he practices, the worse it gets.

"How do you know the quality of my fire?"

"When you practice, the fire becomes stronger." Wang Zhi pointed to the flames in the fire pit, "Because when you practice boxing, the breath is released, and the fire in the fire pond is induced, which complements each other, you see if it is not as bright as just now." ”

Liu Xiu was suspicious, and he was not interested in talking to him about these mysterious things, and immediately asked him about the results of his actions.

Wang Zhi smiled faintly, reached out and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and there was some black paste on the silk handkerchief. "That old witch didn't have any skills, I only used three powerful heart-destroying spells, and she died." He picked up a piece of wood, picked up a trace of paste and sent it to the fire to roast it, a strange fragrance immediately spread, Liu Xiu suddenly felt a little dizzy, and quickly covered his nose.

"That's the medicine she mixed into the fire when she pretended to be a ghost." Wang Zhi smiled slightly and put the silk handkerchief away. "But this kind of medicine is very harmful to the mind, and she has long run out of oil. Even if I don't make a move, she will have less than a year left at most. ”

Hearing Wang Zhi's success, Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "No one found you, right?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, although my concealment technique is not as good as Senior Brother Luo, it is still enough to deal with these people." Wang Zhi said calmly: "It happened to be snowing outside again, and when they found out, they couldn't find any trace of me for a long time." He smiled, a little proud: "They must think that this is God's punishment." ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu also laughed, and he asked with great interest: "What kind of concealment technique did you just say?" ”

Wang Zhi pondered for a moment, stood up, pointed to a place behind him, and said, "Don't move, your lord, look here, don't move away." ”

Liu Xiu nodded. I saw Wang Zhi's body shake and suddenly disappear. He was taken aback, and when he turned his eyes, he found that Wang Zhi had not disappeared at all, but was just curled up, shrunk into a ball, and clinging to the tent wall.

"As I said, don't take your eyes off, it won't work if you move it." Wang Zhi smiled, and was about to stretch his body to stand up, but Liu Xiu stopped him, "Don't move." ”

Wang Zhi didn't know what he had found, so he had to shrink there as he was. Liu Xiu slowly turned his gaze, and when he found that he was concentrating on the position that Wang Zhi had just designated, Wang Zhi really disappeared from his field of vision again. He looked away a little, and Wang Zhi had nothing to hide, but as long as he looked at that position, he knew that Wang Zhi was there, but he couldn't see his figure.

He vaguely understood, but pretended to be puzzled and asked Wang Zhi for advice.

Wang Zhi explained a few words briefly. He said that concealment is actually the same as talismans, it is through the eyes of the person to cast the spell, so that the other party has an illusion, before casting the spell, the most important thing is to determine where the other party's gaze will fall, and at the same time to judge where the other party may look next, and choose the position of stealth in advance, so as to ensure that the other party can not see themselves all the time.

Liu Xiu knew that in fact, this was a blind spot using the human eye, but these people who had been trained for a long time moved much faster than ordinary people, so it was very magical. It's just that this so-called concealment technique can only be performed on one person, and if there are two people, it is impossible for him to disappear into the blind spots of two people at the same time, and there is no possibility of performing it in front of the public.

"The Dao Master's Dao skills are really clever." Liu Xiu praised it without any sincerity. Wang Zhi smiled bitterly, he knew that Liu Xiu didn't take it seriously at all, but as for what the reason was, he didn't know. Liu Xiu had the ring in his hand that hid countless Dao techniques, so it was not surprising that he couldn't look down on concealment techniques.

"My lord, the five elements you practice are monkey shapes, monkeys belong to the heart in the five elements, and the heart is to fire, but if you don't cooperate with the horse, your fire form is incomplete after all."

Liu Xiu blinked in confusion: "What are you talking about, the heart ape is a horse?" ”

Wang Zhi nodded solemnly: "The heart is uncertain, and the mind is not accepted, after all, it is still limited to the realm of existence, and it is difficult to appreciate the wonderful use of nothing." Lao Tzu said that there is a way to see it, but there is no way to see it. Quiet is dry, heavy is light root, not quiet is lost, not heavy is lost root. ”

Liu Xiu was speechless, why did he become more and more mysterious the more he said? This old way is different from the old way of later generations, the old way of later generations is to deceive others, and this old way is what I deeply believe.

…… Hu Zheng lay naked on a thick tiger skin mattress, holding a plump woman in one hand, and looked at the top of the tent intently. He was very unhappy, he was so polite and respectful to Liu Xiu, he was good, not only did he not give him any special benefits, but he couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people. As soon as he thought of the things he encountered in the military market today, he felt very annoyed, and he couldn't wait to gather people now, surround Liu Xiu's big tent, cut off his head to show the public, and then rob the property he brought.

It's a pity that I'm not Shan Yu yet, otherwise he must be good-looking today.

Hu Zheng sighed gloomily. Shan Yu is old, he doesn't have the blood surname of the Huns, and he was insulted like this, even the great wizard was angry, and he didn't dare to attack. With such a person leading the Huns, how could the Huns not get worse and worse.

Hu Zheng is a scheming person, he has heard a lot of things about the Han people from the mouths of the merchants who come and go, and knows that the current Han people are not the powerful dynasty of the past, there are a lot of things going on inside them, and their emperor has killed a lot of useful people, but he doesn't know how far the Han people have declined now.

Every time he mentioned these meanings to Shan Yu, Shan Yu always taught him, what do you know, you only see these thousand soldiers in Meiji, you only see these Han people in the north of Bingzhou, but do you know what Bingzhou is in Dahan? This land is a paradise in the eyes of our Huns, but in the eyes of the Han people, it is just an inconspicuous place. We Huns have five or six hundred thousand people, and there were millions of people when they were the strongest, but do you know how many people there are in Jizhou after the Taihang Mountains? The population of Jizhou alone is more than all our Huns combined.

Hu Zheng knew that Shan Yu was afraid of the Han people from the bottom of his heart, and since he could remember, he had heard his grandmother in his arms tell the story of the Han people breaking the North Garden, so he was very in awe of the descendants of the Dou family. But he forgot that the Dou family has now become a rebel of the Han Dynasty, and Dou Tong first defected to the Huns, and now he has defected to the Xianbei people.

Hu Zheng believes that the Han people are not as good as before, but he does not know how far the Han people have declined, especially the fact that the Han people exterminated the Dongqiang people ten years ago makes him uncertain, it seems that the Han people are like a thin camel, although not as good as before, but it is still much bigger than the Huns.

Hu Zheng inquired about the brothers who came back from Luoyang, but those brothers only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in Luoyang, and they didn't know what to see at all, and they only had the majesty of Luoyang in their mouths, only the beauty of Han women, and the luxury of Han emperors, and they couldn't see anything else.

Hu Zheng looked down on them, and he decided to go to Luoyang to see them in person, so he took the initiative to ask to go to Luoyang to be a waiter. Originally, he didn't need to go to Luoyang to be a hostage as his identity, but his mother, Shan Yu's Yan family, said to him bitterly that Shan Yu was also old, although his health was fine, but who could say that he would be allowed to go back one day. What if he leaves, but you are in Luoyang, and someone else does a single Yu?

It's not that Hu Zheng didn't think about this danger, Youxian Wang Qiangqu is a very dangerous opponent, Qiangqu thought that his secret relationship with Zhang Xiu could hide from everyone, in fact, he already knew that he just didn't say it. According to the order of succession of the Huns, he, the king of Zuoxian, was in front of Qiangqu, as long as he did not die, Qiangqu would not have any chance.

But he believes that although Shan Yu is not young, but his health is so good, there will definitely be no problem to hold on for a few more years, if he wants to go to Luoyang to see the reality of the Han people, he should go as soon as possible, the later he goes, the greater the risk.

So now do you want to win or lose with Liu Xiu? The call is uncertain. Although the Great Wizard said that he would use blood to wash away his shame, he knew that it was just a statement that the Great Wizard gave him a chance after accepting the gift from the Yan Clan, and if he did not send troops, the Great Wizard would naturally have other statements. To fight or not to fight, the initiative is not in the great wizard, but in him. And he couldn't make up his mind for a while. He had always wanted to break with the Han people, but when the opportunity was really in front of him, he hesitated a little.

"King Zuoxian, it's not good." The centurion of the guard, Hatu, broke in, a cold air rushed to his face, Hu Zheng shivered, subconsciously pulled the tiger skin over his body, and covered the bodies of the two women** at the same time, and said angrily: "What's the matter?" ”

"Big ...... Grand Wizard ...... It's heavenly. ”

Hu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up: "What did you say?" ”

"The Great Wizard has returned to heaven." Hatu stopped talking, his eyes filled with unconcealed horror. Hu Zheng immediately realized that the Great Wizard might be more than just returning to heaven. He stared at Hatu and opened his mouth to ask, but for no reason he felt a fluster, for fear of asking a result that he couldn't accept.

"Great Wizard ......" Hatu's voice grew lower and lower: "Cursed." ”

Hu Zheng's brain "buzzed", a layer of goosebumps appeared all over his body, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the tiger skin wrapped in his body fell to the ground, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had been cut with a blunt knife: "Divine punishment? ”

Hatu nodded muran, a bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled down his forehead, dripping on the flames, and a spark suddenly jumped out of the burning wood, and exploded with a "pop".

…… Shan Yu's face was pale, looking at the body of the great wizard, although the blood at the corner of his mouth had been wiped off, the pain before death was still clearly retained on the face of the great wizard. Shan Yu felt that his hands and feet were a little numb, he was discussing with the Yan family in the big tent how to solve the conflict with the Han people during the day, whether to take a tough attitude or give way, the Yan family said, the great wizard has said, what are you hesitating about, you must let the Han people apologize to Hu Zheng, Hu Zheng will be the Huns' big Shan Yu in the future, if he is so insulted by the Han people, how to lead the people in the future.

Shan Yu was very hesitant, he didn't want to make such a big fuss, but he didn't dare to disobey the words of the great wizard. He had already ordered the mobilization of the surrounding soldiers and horses, and if the Han people did not give in, he would have to meet the Han soldiers with their swords.

At this moment, he received an urgent report, and the great wizard suddenly vomited blood and died violently when he was receiving the gods.

Shan Yu was startled, didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed over with someone. He carefully questioned the people in charge of protecting the Great Wizard, and they all swore that no one would approach the Great Wizard, and when the Great Wizard received the gods, she would definitely be the only one in the big tent, and the people who protected her would not dare to approach, for fear of interfering with her communication with the gods.

Shan Yu felt dizzy for a while, his heart beat hard, and his voice was like a war drum. Divine Judgment? These two words immediately came to his mind. Just an hour ago, the Han people came to summon him and the great wizard to meet them, saying that they had important matters to discuss. The Great Wizard refused, claiming that only blood could wash away the shame inflicted on them by the Han Chinese. But the voice was still in his ears, and the great wizard was punished by God, except for violating the will of heaven, what explanation is there?

The Yan clan, who had always believed in the great wizard, was also stunned, at a loss, and no longer had the sharp teeth just now. Shan Yu sent someone to inform Hu Zheng, and it didn't take long for Hu Zheng to arrive, his face was very bad, and it could be seen that he was also stunned by the great wizard's punishment.

Hu Zheng once again asked the people who were guarding the Great Wizard, and he also did not find any suspicion of his killing, and the Great Wizard did not have any external injuries on his body, and the feather clothes on his body were not messy at all, and it did not look like he had been killed.

"What should I do?" Shan Yu father and son asked each other in unison.

"This one...... It can't be publicized. Hu Zheng calmed down first, he waved his hand quietly, signaled Hatu to surround all these people who were guarding the Great Wizard, and then pulled Shan Yu aside, and said softly: "The Great Wizard is punished by God, which will make people think that Shan Yu is immoral, and then other tribes will have different intentions." ”

Shan Yu also thought of this layer, the unnatural death of the great wizard not only means that the gods have condemned the great wizard, but more importantly, Shan Yu's legal surname will be questioned.

"Let's just say...... She was summoned by the gods and returned to heaven normally. Once Hu Zheng found his idea, his mind immediately became clear, and he said without thinking: "Kill all these people and bury them, and then elect the next great wizard." ”

In a burst of cold sweat, he looked at the hideous call, and couldn't believe that this was his son. He hesitated for a long time before he stabilized his mind and asked word by word: "You appoint a great wizard, can you be blessed by God?" If she can't communicate with the gods at all, what will we do then? ”

Hu Zheng felt palpitations and regretted Mo Die, he knew that he had lost his words just now. The great wizard has been punished by the gods, and the gods are wrathed, if they can't comfort the gods and make up for their mistakes, then what's the use of choosing another great wizard? And the Great Wizard should have been appointed by the previous Great Wizard before he returned to heaven, but now he is appointed by himself, this is his own place in the position of the gods, is it an offensive move to the heavens, and the gods will spare him?

However, if you don't choose a great wizard immediately, then how can you hide the matter of the great wizard's curse? The shamans of other tribes will definitely question the cause of the death of the great wizard. At that time, if they want to redeem themselves, they will have no chance.

"Alone, we can only do this, or the other four castes will suspect us. Without the favor of the gods, how can we keep Shan Yu's position? At present, the only way to hide the matter is to hide it first, and then find a way to worship the gods and ask for forgiveness from the gods. ”

"What about the Han people?" Shan Yu's voice grew colder and colder.

(To be continued)
