Longle water.

The military minister Shan Yu restrained his mount and glanced at the wooden tablet he had just received.

There is no text on the wooden tablets, only simple drawings. In addition to oral communication, the Huns used this method to convey information, and it was all news that could not be easily leaked.

The Han Dynasty in the south sent three generals to the frontier, including the famous flying general Li Guang, which made the military minister Shan Yu very uneasy.

What did the emperor of the Han Dynasty want to do? In the past two years, there has been no large-scale invasion by the Huns, and the border has been relatively peaceful, and the two sides have been peaceful. Even when he encountered heavy snow last year, he did not enter the country to loot, he was already benevolent and righteous, why are the people of the Han Dynasty still not satisfied?

Could it be that the old queen mother died, and the little emperor wanted to learn from his ancestor Liu Bang and try the Huns' bow horses?

An indescribable anger swelled up in the military minister's heart, and there was a faint uneasiness. Da Tu Qi told him many times that this little emperor was not like his grandfather Liu Heng, nor like his father Liu Qi, but a little like his great-grandfather Liu Bang, who was an ambitious emperor. At the beginning of his accession, he wanted to change the ancestral system, if it wasn't for the Empress Dowager suppressing him, I don't know what it would be like now.

The military minister Shan Yu was very worried about this. He was worried that the Han Dynasty would no longer be obedient and would no longer be as obedient as before. The Huns were accustomed to all kinds of good things from the Han Dynasty, and if the Han Dynasty people wanted to repent, they would be very uncomfortable.

It was precisely because of this consideration that the military minister Shan Yu was reluctant to send an envoy to the Yue clan from the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Yue clan is terrible or not, sending an envoy itself represents a sense of resistance. He arrested Zhang Qian, and the Han Dynasty sent Liang Xiao again, and now Liang Xiao has caused so many incidents in Dawan. He had to travel thousands of miles west. Interrupt the outstretched hand of the Han Emperor.

At this time. The emperor of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guang and others to guard the border, and the military minister Shan Yu had to consider the possibility of the Han Dynasty sending troops on a large scale. If the main force marched westward, but was attacked by the Han Dynasty and disturbed the Longcheng royal court, the loss would be great. Most of the wealth accumulated by Shan Yu in the past dynasties is in Dragon City, and the families of many nobles are also in Dragon City, once attacked, the consequences are unimaginable.

Whether to continue the westward crusade, or to carry out it by the western ministry. The main force of the royal court returned to Longcheng, and the military ministers were a little undecided.

He convened the ministries. Everyone insisted on their own words and couldn't argue, not only did they not help the military minister to make a decision, but he couldn't make up his mind. He decided to stop moving forward for the time being, and asked the Massacre of the Elders to come and consult.

——

On a hillside in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, Wu Dan held a bow in his left hand and his right hand in his hand, staring at the arrows that were leaving the string until they hit the hare that was flying a hundred paces away. Only then did he smile with satisfaction.

The wizard sat cross-legged on a boulder in the distance, his feather cloak tossed by the wind. It is as if it has spread its wings and may ride the wind at any time.

Iurle went over, picked up the hare, drew his knife, skinned the hare, disemboweled, and found some dry wood, and made a fire to roast the hare. It didn't take long for the hare to emit an enticing aroma.

When the hare was roasted, Udan tore off one of the rabbit's legs, came to the wizard, and respectfully offered it with both hands.

The wizard took the rabbit leg and glanced at the black dan. "You're not in a calm mood today, is there something wrong?"

Wudan lowered his head. "Yes, I heard Iul say that there are a large number of Huns on the steppe who are heading west, not only the Hun Evil Department and the Ri Zhu Department, but also the Hutu Department, the Filth Department, and the Wen Duo Department. Their pastures were all in the east, but when they went west, they feared that there would be a great war. ”

"There is a big war, and it has nothing to do with you." The wizard bit down on a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly. "You're not strong enough to use the Earth Bow right now, so why wait? In a year at most, you'll be able to open the bow. At that time, you can take back your throne. ”

"Wizard, I can now shoot a three-stone strong bow, which is enough to deal with Liang Xiao and Aliusu, as long as I grab the bow in their hands, I can also take back the throne. The Evil Tribes have been hit hard one after another, and their strength has been greatly reduced, and if I don't rush back in time, the Evil Tribes will be swallowed up by other tribes. At that point, what's the use of me going back? ”

The wizard was silent and chewed on the rabbit meat carefully. Wudan knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and was silent.

The wizard swallowed the last bite of meat, stood up, looked at Wudan who was on his knees, and sighed. "Now that you've made up your mind, go ahead."

"Thank you, Grand Wizard." Wudan was overjoyed and stood up. "I asked Iul to help the archwizard pack his bags."

"No, I don't want to leave here just yet." The wizard shook his head and looked into the distance, his eyes unconcealed with a sense of loss. "I'll be there for you when you need me."

Wudan was a little disappointed, and there was a hint of wavering in an instant. However, he glanced back at Iul's eager eyes, gritted his teeth, fell to the ground, kowtowed three times, and turned away.

——

"My Yue clan used to have three treasure bows, in addition to the human bow in your hand, there are two bows, and they are in that valley." Aleusu pointed to the red valley looming in the distance. "Do you want to come with me to get it back?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I just want to know when you'll be able to give me this bow in your hand."

Aleusu was speechless, and his face was ugly as if he had been stepped on. Losing the competition, he was not only shot by Liang Xiao with two arrows, almost killing him, but also leaving a handle. Liang Xiao demanded that he fulfill his promise and hand over the horned bow in his hand. This bow is his spiritual sustenance for many years, it is almost the same as his life, how can he be willing to give it to Liang Xiao.

"I said, I'll find some good horns and make a bow for you."

"As I said, I want this bow."

"You-" Alusu was speechless, turning to leave. Liang Xiao followed, and said reluctantly: "You are sick to shoot into the body, it is not appropriate to use this kind of strong bow again." It's useless to leave this bow with you, so you might as well give it to me. "After staying with the Yueshi people for a long time, he has learned a lot of Yueshi dialect, and he can directly quarrel with Aliusu in Yue's dialect.

"You care about me?" Aliusu was furious. "My Yue man was born a warrior, proud to die in battle, and ashamed to die of old age. I didn't expect to live to the day I got sick. If you want me to give you the bow, you might as well kill me now. ”

"You are a dignified prince, are you embarrassed?"

"When did I pay off?" Aliusu was in a hurry, his eyes widening wider than a bull's eye. His face was swollen and red, and he held back for a long time, and suddenly he had an idea. "I only said I would give you the bow, but I didn't say when. When I die in battle, I will send you this bow. ”

Liang Xiao stared at Aliusu, speechless. This muscular man is really scheming, and he can say this kind of shameless words.

"Well, I'll admit you're shameless enough." Liang Xiao sighed: "Since nothing can be discussed, then I will leave." Hello for yourself. With that, he turned and left.

"Wait." Alyusu limped over, opened his arms, and stopped Liang Xiao. "You'll have to help me take Akatani Castle before I can leave."

Liang Xiao stretched out his hand to pull away Aliusu's arm and sneered: "I don't have the ability to do this, the prince should figure it out by himself." I don't care how you die. If you want to take me with you to the funeral, don't even think about it. ”

Aliusu crooked his mouth. "I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes."

"I'm scared of a lot." Liang Xiao sneered. "For example, I'm afraid of people who will pay their debts."

Alusu blushed, but smirked. "Speaking of business, you came so far away, didn't you want me to contain the Wusun people? Now that I'm attacking Akiti Castle, what's so bad? Akaya Castle is their royal city, and after Hunter Jiaomi hears about it, he will definitely send the main force back to help. ”

"The premise of hunting for help is that you can take Akiti Castle. Do you have one? Even if all your 10,000 elite horsemen are buried here, and the blood stains this valley a little redder, the hunter will not look at you squarely. ”

Aleusu language stop.

Such quarrels are not once or twice. As soon as Alyusu's injury improved, he discussed with Liang Xiao, hoping that Liang Xiao could help him take Akita Castle. After Liang Xiao checked the terrain of Chigu City, he refused. Chigu Castle was built on a valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Yueshi people were mainly cavalry, not good at attacking cities, and they were helpless against this kind of mountain warfare. Aleusu wanted him to help him attack the city with Greek foot soldiers, which was simply whimsical.

The two have different goals, and they both want to use each other to achieve their goals, but they can't talk about it at all.

Liang Xiao was anxious.

In the past few days, news has been coming that the Huns are marching westward in a big way, and there is an endless stream of people and horses, covering the entire grassland, as if all the tribes have been mobilized. He was worried that he would not be able to resist it, and he desperately hoped that Aleusu would make a move to attract the attention of the Huns. But Alyusu only wanted to take Akatani Castle and increase his strength. Liang Xiao wore out the skin of his mouth, and did not make any substantial progress.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he decided to return to Suye City to assist Mo Cai and Ayana in dealing with the Huns.

Looking at Liang Xiao's somewhat angry back, Aliusu tilted the corners of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile.

Liang Xiao took two steps and stopped. "Are you sure you won't give me that bow? To tell the truth, if this bow falls into the hands of the Huns or the Wusun people, I want to get it back, but it will not be so easy. ”

Alusu smiled. "I've been fighting with the Wusun and Huns for so many years, and they haven't caught me."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "If the Huns occupy the west of the Green Ridge and capture the queen, where else can you escape?" Although this desert is large, the water and grass are limited, even if you are a dragon, without water, you will have to become a worm. ”

After speaking, Liang Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked away.

Alusu's eyes shrank, and he stopped talking. He turned his head and looked at the red valley in the dark, at the snow that had not melted on the top of the valley all year round, when he thought of the beautiful and fertile valley like a fairyland, and when he thought of the arrogance of hunting on an expedition, his eyes flashed with a bloody light full of violence.

"I will definitely take Akiti Castle, this is an opportunity given to me by God." ——
