Chapter 223: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Wudan jumped off his horse, and under the retinue of four tall guards, he strode towards the tent of the king of Wusun.
King Wusun walked out of the tent arrogantly and greeted him with a smile. The four big hands were clasped together, and Hunter squeezed his eyes: "Be careful of your sister." After speaking, he pulled Wudan and walked to the tent, laughing loudly: "Arekhan, look who is coming." ”
"You don't need to shout so loudly, I know who's coming. Isn't it the new evil king? Arekan walked south from behind the tent, with his hands behind his back, tilting his head, and looking at Wudan with a smile. Evil King, how are you feeling? ”
Uridan smiled wryly, and was just about to speak, when Arekan suddenly reached out and pulled out the knife from his waist and slashed at it. Wu Dan was shocked, turned his head and ran, the tip of the knife brushed the iron armor, and drew a spark. Refusing to give up, Arekan hurried to the door of the tent, pointing the tip of his knife at the one-sided door.
Wu Dan's face was pale, but he didn't dare to say anything, turned around and hid behind Hunt Jiaomi, begging for mercy again and again.
"Sister, sister, listen to me."
"Yanshi, if you have something to say, put the knife down first, okay?" Hunting arrogantly also accompanied by a smiling face and persuaded each other with good words.
"You don't talk nonsense, or I'll cut you too." Arikan shouted: "You tell me clearly, why did you come now?" ”
Wudan couldn't cry or laugh. "Sister, don't you know, it's not one or two people in the tribe who want to seize power, if I don't settle them, the tribe will be scattered, how can I avenge my father?"
"How many people did you kill?"
"There are not many, even General Zuo, there are only twenty-seven people."
Hunter Jiaomi was taken aback. Turned to look at Wudan. "And how many men did you bring with you?"
"Twenty thousand."
Arikan snorted: "Tell the truth. ”
Wu Shan shuddered. Hesitated for a moment. And he said, "More than thirteen,000 people." ”
The smile on Hunter's face suddenly disappeared. He originally expected to have 30,000 Hun cavalry as a strong backing, but now less than half of them came, much less than he expected. Now the combined number of men and horses on both sides is only 30,000, and this battle is much more difficult to fight.
Wudan was helpless, so he had to explain patiently. The evil king died suddenly, and he never saw the corpse, many people suspected that Wudan was talking to himself, and the people who originally had a heart for Gulu Fox even accused Wudan of killing his father and brother. In this case. If the thunderbolt method is not used, the evil king is likely to have infighting. Wudan had to kill the killer and wipe out all those who disobeyed him.
People are killed, but it is impossible for all of those people's subordinates to be killed, and killing too widely is easy to cause backlash. Considering the overall situation, Wudan allowed some people to leave, and left some people to rush back to the pasture to stabilize the situation, and only 13,000 people were brought here.
Hunter was disappointed.
It is not good for him to accuse Wudan of doing something wrong, but the problem of insufficient troops cannot be ignored. He told Wudan that after receiving the news. He had sent scouts across the valley to inquire for information, but had not yet found any news of those Han Chinese. But. Several scouts are missing, and he suspects that they have been ambushed by the Dawans. After all, the land on the other side of the mountain pass has been occupied by the Dawan people for a long time, and it is not so easy to let them spit it out again.
"Don't worry about the number of troops. As long as Nanshan Qiang is defeated, there will naturally be enough troops. Wu Shan patted his chest and said with confidence: "As for those Han people, they can't escape." I met a captured Han envoy when I was in Shan Yuting, and I heard him say that he was going to the Dayue clan, and I guess these Han people will also go to the Dayue clan. As long as we conquer the Otsutsuki clan, we can cut off their heads and avenge our father. ”
"If you can't cut off the heads of those Han people, I'll cut off your heads." Arekhan threw the knife to the ground and turned away.
Wudan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was glad.
Hunting arrogantly but with a melancholy face, his eyebrows turned into Sichuan characters, and he did not calm down for a long time.
……
Old Andrew's family lived in isolation and walked for more than ten days before returning to the real Dawan.
For more than ten days, Andrea slaughtered a sheep every day. Under the nourishment of fresh mutton and goat milk, Liang Xiao and others recovered quickly. While chatting with old Andrew and learning about the situation in Dawan and the whole of Central Asia, Liang Xiao concentrated on practicing the skills of right shooting.
Changing a established habit is definitely not an easy task. Fortunately, Liang Xiao has only been practicing shooting for more than a year, although he has habits, he is not so stubborn, coupled with his perseverance and perseverance beyond ordinary people, he barely touched a little way, crossed the threshold of discomfort, and initially mastered the key of left and right double shooting.
Paris's progress has not been smooth. He didn't understand why Liang Xiao let him practice empty-handed, how to practice archery without a bow? He felt that Liang Xiao was lying to him, and while Liang Xiao was practicing archery, he secretly watched it a few times and found that Liang Xiao practiced like this, which dispelled his doubts.
Despite this, he still couldn't do the hour-by-hour practice like Liang Xiao. He would rather ride a horse and gallop on the grassland with Guo Wu. A few days later, the elder Andrew also accepted his fate, and simply asked Paris to shoot at Guo Wuxi.
Liang Xiao agreed. He didn't have much hope for Paris in the first place. To be exact, there are few people who can practice archery like him, because there is hardly a second person like him who has been a man for two lives and knows how important it is to persevere.
Dripping water through stones is easier said than done. Everyone understands the truth, but there are very few who can insist on practicing for several years.
Entering the border of Dawan, I saw a small city called Suye City. The city is not large, at most it is the size of the county town in the Central Plains, but the architectural style is obviously different, with a strong Greek flavor. After communicating with old Andrew, Liang Xiao was already mentally prepared, Guo Wenbin went back and forth to Dawan many times, and naturally it was not surprising, but others were surprised and praised repeatedly.
This was the first time they had seen the city since leaving Yanmen, and although the style was very different, it was enough to create a sense of intimacy.
Under the leadership of Guo Wenbin, Liang Xiao and others walked into Suye City.
Suye City is very prosperous. As soon as they entered the city gate, Liang Xiao and the others saw a bustling crowd of camels and horses, all carrying large and small packages. There were a lot of people, men and women, old and young, and the originally spacious street was crowded, and many children screamed and laughed, and shuttled through the crowd, making bursts of joyful laughter.
"Oh, it's very prosperous, no worse than Mayi." Xie Guanglong sighed from the bottom of his heart. "Look, look, that woman is undressed......"
Liang Xiao glanced at Xie Guanglong's fingers, and raised his hand to be a horsewhip. "Don't point fingers, it's the gods of the Greeks."
"Haha, don't their gods wear clothes? Tsk, that's pretty good. Xie Guanglong touched his chin and looked at the statue carved out of marble, his eyes shining.
Li Shuyun said puzzledly: "Aren't these Greeks claiming to be nobles, why are they so debauched?" ”
"It's not debauchery, it's self-confidence." Liang Xiao scratched his head, not knowing how to explain the problem. Dawan has a strong Greek heritage, and its aesthetic views are significantly different from those of the Han Chinese. Even though the current Han people are not as conservative as they were in the future, and the relationship between men and women is very open, there is still a big difference from the Greek nudity.
"Follow the customs, see more and talk less."
"My lord, I understand, I can do it, but I can't say it." Xie Guanglong laughed. "My lord, hurry up, I hope their women are as fit as this goddess. I can't wait. ”
Liang Xiao was speechless. He was a little skeptical, would it be insulting to the country to bring such rough goods to the envoy?
"If you don't say a few words, it's okay or not, you'll see the real chapter later." Guo Wenbin teased: "Are you sure your injury is really good? The women here are not your average fierce. ”
Xie Guanglong patted his chest and was arrogant. "Of course, I've been recuperating for a long time. If I hadn't taken the time to spare, I would have made Andrea pregnant. ”
Everyone laughed and expressed their disdain.
Guo Wenbin often came to Suye City, and led everyone through several streets to a compound. He stepped forward to report, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a bearded suit walked out quickly. As soon as he saw Guo Wenbin, he laughed out loud and patted Guo Wenbin's shoulder hard.
"Boy, didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Why haven't I arrived for half a year, and I saw you again? ”
Guo Wenbin smiled slightly, turned around and introduced: "My lord, this is my father's friend, Nie Yi, a wealthy businessman in Yanmen Mayi. Yi Weng, this is the Lang official before the Son of Heaven, General Li Guang's subordinate, Lord Liang Xiaoliang. ”
"Lord Liang? Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
"Nie Yi?!" Liang Xiao was dumbfounded. He had been in Yanmen City and Guanshi for so long, but he hadn't met Nie Yi, but he didn't expect to meet him here. Shouldn't this person be in the Huns, why did he come to Suye City? Look at him dressed in a beard, as if he has settled here.
"Adults know me?" Seeing that Liang Xiao's tone was wrong, Nie Yi was a little puzzled.
Liang Xiao laughed, arched his hand, pretended to be careless, and dropped half of the bamboo talisman given by Wang Hui to the ground. "When I was in Yanmen, I often heard people mention Nie Yi's name, but I never had the opportunity to meet him, but I didn't expect to see it here. Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
Nie Yi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized half of the bamboo talisman, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He took the first step, picked up the bamboo talisman, took a closer look, and sent it to Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao took it, stuffed it in his sleeve, and smiled slightly: "Thank you Nie Weng." ”
"You're welcome, thousands of miles away from home, all Han people are township parties, and they should be close to each other, why be so polite." Nie Yi smiled, took a step back, and stretched out his hand to invite. "Your Excellency, please!"
Seeing Nie Yi's reaction, Liang Xiao knew that he had not guessed wrong, Wang Hui's so-called connector was the Nie Yi in front of him. After turning such a big corner and connecting with Nie Yi thousands of miles away, most of the worries in his heart were put down. Not to mention anything else, with Nie Yi, a rich man, and Chang'an's big order, he doesn't have to worry about this money-
