The Right Virtuous King was originally suspicious of hunting arrogance, and now he didn't dare to take it lightly. He didn't want to be bitten by the hunt when the siege was not going down.

What's more, there is an even more terrible Moon Clan Prince Aliusu.

King Youxian couldn't help but wonder if Aliusu's attack on Akatani Castle and hunting for arrogance to return for reinforcements would be a lie at all, just to make him unable to conquer Suye Castle? Outside Suye City, there are five thousand moon knights to assist the Dawan people in defending the city. And it is not the first time that the hunt has retreated without a fight.

Anything is possible. Of course, it is also possible that the Han people in front of them are talking nonsense and demagoguery. He did this just to disturb the morale of the army and prevent him from attacking Yancheng with all his might.

But what if it's true?

The Right Sage King thought about it and made a difficult decision. On the one hand, he bargained with the king of Qiuzi and stalled for time; On the one hand, he sent people to Wusun to urge cattle and sheep. This is what Hunter Jiaomi promised him. If Hunter Jiaomi can still keep his promise, then he can still be trusted. If he hunts arrogance and vain, then what Dongfang Shuo said is likely to be the truth, and he must make another plan and consider retreating as soon as possible.

If he is really targeted by Lie Jiaomi, Aliusu and Liang Xiao, he is likely to suffer heavy losses.

King Youxian met with Bai Ba and Dongfang Shuo again, slowed down, and agreed to make a little concession, not to let King Qiuzi go out of the city to apologize, and the soldiers could also be reduced to five thousand, but the cattle and sheep required could not be less, otherwise, he would immediately attack the city.

Bai Ba let out a sigh of relief and immediately agreed to go back to the city to ask King Qiuzi for instructions. Just as they stood up and saluted, ready to leave. Youxian Wang smiled sympathetically and pointed at Dongfang Shuo. "You stay."

Dongfang Shuo chuckled in his heart. "Me?"

"Hmm. I still have some things to ask you. King Youxian crooked his mouth. He pointed at Bai Ba again. "You go back. Tell the king that if he does not give me a satisfactory answer within three days, I will go into the city. When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Bai Ba was shocked and looked at Dongfang Shuo for help. Dongfang Shuo's eyes rolled and he smiled. "Don't worry about Bai Xiang, I just want to chat with King Youxian. You can go back with peace of mind and let the king get ready. Don't delay. ”

Bai Ba was helpless, so he had to leave uneasily.

King Youxian looked at Dongfang Shuo and laughed loudly, his eyes undisguised his appreciation for Dongfang Shuo. "You're a rare warrior and I like you. You stay here, and I will let you be my slaughter, just like the Bank of China by Shan Yu's side. ”

Dongfang Shuo walked in front of the Right Xian King, leaned on the right Xian King's food table, and sat cross-legged. "Who does the Bank of China say?"

"The Bank of China said that it was a Han eunuch, and the easy-going princess came to the royal court. I made a single slaughter. He's a smart guy and he's been a great helper. If you are willing to be as loyal to me as he is to Shan Yu. I will not treat you badly. Right Xianwang stretched out his hand and patted Dongfang Shuo's thigh hard. I make you king. ”

Dongfang Shuo crooked his mouth. "It turned out to be an eggless waste. You can't make me happy when you compare him to me. ”

King Youxian laughed. "Yes, yes, you are a great husband, not the kind of eunuch who smells all over his body. How, would you be willing to serve me? ”

Dongfang Shuo thought about it and shook his head. "Death to a man who is a confidant. Liang Xiao knows me, and treats me like a guest, so I am willing to give him advice. But you compare me to BOC, you are insulting me, how can I serve you? ”

King Youxian scratched his head, very embarrassed. "I said it wrong, sir, what can I do to make up for my mistakes? Gold, beauty, or horses? As long as I have it, I will give it to you. ”

Dongfang Shuo yawned. "Arrange a tent for me first, I'm a little sleepy. Get some sleep and maybe I'll be in a better mood. ”

King Youxian smiled, and immediately asked Dongfang Shuo to rest. In order to prevent Dongfang Shuo from escaping, twenty guards were specially arranged to guard Dongfang Shuo day and night. After Dongfang Shuo left, King Youxian put away his smile, and his eagle-like gaze swept over the faces of the generals.

"Everyone be vigilant, step up the construction of the siege ladder, and once it is completed, immediately attack the city."

The crowd responded.

――

Bai Ba returned to the city and reported the incident to the King of Qiuzi.

Knowing that Dongfang Shuomian folded the right Xian King and forced the Right Xian King to give in, the King of Qiuzi was very happy. However, in the face of the result of Dongfang Shuo being detained by the Huns, he was very uneasy. He sent for Jose and Li Danghu to ask them for advice.

Hearing that Dongfang Shuo was left behind by the Huns, Li Danghu was taken aback, and there was chaos for a while. Jose was also in a mess. Dongfang Shuo has always been their backbone, without Dongfang Shuo's advice, what should they do?

"Or, we'll accede to the Huns' request, right?" King Guizi suggested. "Although the price is greater, it is better than slaughtering the city."

"Don't worry, my lord." Li Danghu took a few breaths in succession to calm himself down. "Bai Xiang, can you tell me in detail?"

Bai Ba looked at King Qiuzi, who nodded and motioned for him to hurry up. Bai Ba had to say it again from the beginning. Li Danghu listened carefully, and his face slowly returned to normal. After Bai Ba finished speaking, he thought about it for a long time and raised his head.

"King, the Huns are afraid."

"Scared?"

"Yes. He was afraid of being attacked by the Wusun people and the Yueshi people. ”

King Guizi was very surprised. "Wusun...... Really allied with you? He also thought that Dongfang Shuo was talking nonsense and deceiving the Huns. Although Dongfang Shuo has been in Chigu City for a long time, but Hunting Jiaomi is a subordinate of the Huns, and he is inseparable from the Yue Clan, how can they form an alliance and deal with the Huns together?

Li Danghu smiled slightly. "Don't hide it from the king, the one who led the army through the territory of Wusun and attacked Daban is me."

King Qiuzi was stunned, he really couldn't understand the relationship.

"Don't worry, the king. Even if the Huns wanted to attack the city, they would have to build equipment such as ladders. Please be prepared to prevent the Huns from attacking. Only if they do not see the hope of breaking the city can they reduce the losses. ”

King Qiuzi agreed. No matter what the Huns said, he didn't have a sense of security, and the defense of the city could not be slackened.

Out of the palace, Li Danghu exhaled a breath, and the cold sweat instantly soaked his whole body. He said to Jose: "I am going to Daban and tell the news to Captain Liang. The general holds out as long as he can, and I'll be back as soon as possible. Now the Huns are alone in the depths, and once the strong attack is not reached, they are likely to retreat. ”

Jose nodded repeatedly. "General, you have to go and come back quickly."

Li Danghu agreed, left Yancheng with the Lang officials, and traveled day and night to Daban.

――

Daban City is very lively, and Liang Xiao is making a sacrifice according to the customs of the Han land.

The Xiongnu besieged the city, and Liang Xiao thought of a lot of tricks in order to adjust the atmosphere and not make the soldiers too nervous. The wax festival is just a gimmick, and the main point is to popularize some Han customs at the same time as the dinner.

These rough men can't think so much, they are happy when they have meat to eat and wine to satisfy their cravings. They spoke half-baked Chinese, followed Liang Xiao to salute in style, and then lined up to receive meat with a smile, and then stretched out their hands to receive two rewards from Liang Xiao's hand, and when they couldn't wait for tomorrow morning, the money was gone, and I don't know which woman's arms they were stuffed into, and they exchanged for a night of spring supper.

Knowing that Li Danghu was back, Liang Xiao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked someone to take them over, take them directly to the back hall, and made a joke.

"What, you came back smelling the meat?"

Li Danghu couldn't laugh, he stood in front of Liang Xiao with a shy face. "Captain, I have betrayed your trust."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Seeing Li Danghu's mouth full of bubbles, he knew that it was not a good thing. Hearing this, my heart was even more uneasy. He pressed his emotions and motioned to Sigma to bring wine and meat to Li Danghu and the others, and his hands were already shaking a little.

"Eat first, then talk about it after eating, the sky won't fall."

The steaming wine and meat were served, and Li Danghu's tears also fell. He knelt down in front of Liang Xiao with a thud, crying silently. "Captain, Dongfang Shuo was detained by the Huns."

Liang Xiao suddenly felt a blackness in front of him, and his head "buzzed" with a muffled sound, as if he had been beaten with a stick.

"Dongfang Shuo was detained by the Huns?" Liang Xiao grabbed Li Danghu and said sharply: "What's going on, you tell me clearly." Didn't I ask you to protect Dongfang Shuo, how could he be detained by the Huns? ”

Li Danghu ignored the pain of his arm being pinched by Liang Xiao, and told what happened. Liang Xiao jumped up angrily before he could finish hearing it, and scolded loudly.

"This fool deserves his bad luck. Is it okay to stay in the city, do you have to succeed in this hero? Now it's good, under house arrest by the Huns, all the plans are in vain. FUCK！ FUCK！ ”

Since the crossing, Liang Xiao has lost his temper for the first time, and he blurted out foul language that he had forgotten for a long time. Not only was Sigma stunned, but even Li Danghu and the others were frightened. It is normal for Lang officials to say some foul language when they are together, and Liang Xiao is no exception. But they have been colleagues with Liang Xiao for so long, and it is the first time they have heard so many swear words coming out of Liang Xiao's mouth, and it is also the first time they have seen Liang Xiao so angry.

Li Danghu was the first to react, stepped forward and hugged Liang Xiao, dragged him into the inner room, closed the door, let Sigma watch him, and hurriedly went out again, and said sharply to Lang Guan, who rushed back with him: "From now on, you must not leave this courtyard for half a step." You are not allowed to speak a word to anyone without my orders. Violators, behead! ”

On the way back, Li Danghu had repeatedly instructed the officials to take care of their mouths. At this moment, it was solemn again, and the Lang officials knew that no one dared to be careless. Less than half of Liang Xiao's descendants really belonged to the fortress, and the rest were a ragtag army cobbled together by various clans. If these people knew that the Huns were powerful, they were likely to disperse in a hurry, or even turn against each other.

They looked at each other and nodded vigorously. "Whoa."

Li Danghu called Tuniuer again. "Look at the official office, no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order."

Tu Niu'er bowed down to receive the order, called all the mercenary guards, and guarded several doors of the official office, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The atmosphere in the official office was tense, and outside the official office, the soldiers who didn't know the inside story were still happily celebrating the wax sacrifice.
