After the princes, ministers, and generals withdrew, there were only three people left in the hall, Qin Dong stood at the foot of the throne steps and weighed whether to tell Attila the cause of death, so as to gain benefits for himself, Attila's cause of death was definitely not suffocation caused by the bursting of blood vessels and blood returning to the trachea, but he was murdered, but he was now not sure which force did it, if it was done by insiders, it would be better, it was a big deal to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, not only would the other ministers not oppose Ellak, And will support him, but if the mastermind behind the scenes is the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, then once everyone in the Hun court knows about this, Erak is bound to raise troops south to fight to the death with the Roman Empire, otherwise Erak's throne is unstable, and he must fight this battle with the Roman Empire under the banner of revenge for Attila to enhance his prestige and consolidate his throne.

"Qin Dong!" While Qin Dong was still weighing the pros and cons, Erak on the throne suddenly spoke up.

Qin Dong came back to his senses, and immediately struck a spirit, immediately turned to face Erak and leaned over to support the ground with his right hand, held the handle of the knife with his left hand, knelt down on one knee and promised: "Yes, what does Da Shan Yu command?" ”

Erak didn't speak, only to see him get up and take steps and walk down the Dan Majesty step by step, Qin Dong heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but look up, and saw a pair of long cowhide boots standing in front of him, and then heard Erak's voice: "Get up!" ”

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" Qin Dong got up and stood up when he heard this voice, his chest hung down, and his eyes did not squint.

Elak's eyes flickered, sometimes revealing a fierce light, sometimes showing appreciation, Qin Dong only felt that he was stared at by this look like a needle prick, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up instantly, he was annoyed by his previous judgment, and thought that Erak was a straw bag, but in fact, this guy has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to confuse others! The ability to disguise is absolutely superb.

Qin Dong decided that once Erak gave an order that was unfavorable to him, he would take the lead in taking him hostage and escape from the royal court, and then escape from the mixed barbarian areas on the border of the Frankish Kingdom, the Western Roman Empire and the Xiongnu Empire, and then find a way to develop his own power.

After deciding, Qin Dong's strength in holding the knife in his left hand suddenly increased, and he would act immediately as long as he found that the situation was not in his favor, but then Erak's words made him give up this idea, and he only heard him say: "Qin Dong, I can't imagine that you kid is still a talent, how old are you today, when did you enter the guard?" ”

Qin Dong was not only careless, but replied according to his memory: "Back to Da Dan Yu, the villain is seventeen years old this year, and he was selected by Da Shan Yu to join the guard two years ago!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's been two years, Ben Dan Yu has been busy with political affairs for the past two years, but Ben Dan Yu has been paying attention to you, you have grown so tall at the age of seventeen, and you have a bit of cleverness, very good!" Erak said and stretched out his big hand and patted Qin Dong's shoulder, Qin Dong's height is almost one meter eighty-five, his figure is very burly, he definitely belongs to a giant in this era, and although Erak is also very burly, he is not very tall, only about one meter six, and he is a little short and strong like his father Attila.

It is absolutely impossible for Erak to be a straw bale, how could a straw bale say such a thing to buy people's hearts? Qin Dongzheng didn't know how to reply, and heard Erak say again: "This time you have made a great contribution, this single Yu will greatly reward you, let's talk about it, what do you want?" ”

If it was someone else, he would definitely kneel down and thank him happily when he heard this, but Qin Dong didn't dare, because although he proposed to Erak, Erak didn't adopt it, that is, he didn't take credit, and now Erak wants to reward him, which makes Qin Dong even more suspicious of Erak's intentions, he knelt down on one knee again and said loudly: "Thank you Da Danyu, Qin Dong is Da Danyu's slave, don't reward it, it's what Qin Dong should do to be loyal to Da Dan Yu!" swear allegiance to Da Dan Yu".

Erak was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and personally stretched out his hand to help Qin Dong up, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Ben Shan Yu said that you have made a great contribution, you have made a great contribution, if your subordinates have made meritorious service and Ben Shan is not rewarded, then how can Ben Shan Yu convince the public?" In this way, the time you follow this single Yu is shorter, and it is not appropriate to improve too fast for the time being, so I will reward you with ten households first, and after the funeral of the first king, you will take your ten households to Sedika to guard the frontier for this single and prevent the Eastern Romans from going north, and then reward you after you have made meritorious service in Sedicka, what do you think? ”

Saidika is now the capital of Bulgaria Sofia, Sophia was called Saidika in ancient times, which is the border camp station belonging to the border between the Hun Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Huns are a tribal military alliance, the army is not alone, but together with the herdsmen, Qin Dong got the reward of ten households, which is equivalent to he has ten cavalry, and now he is the chief of the Shi (cavalry), each of the ten households draws out a male to become his subordinate, once the war is fought, these people bring their own horses, bows and arrows, scimitars, and bring their own food to follow him on the expedition.

Qin Dong was stunned when he heard this reward, this was a bit unexpected to him, he originally wanted to leave the royal court as soon as possible to develop outside, only when he went outside could he spread his wings and fly high, but he didn't expect that his idea would come true in just one day, isn't it too easy? Does Eraque have other ideas?

"Ahem! Morlo, don't you kneel down to thank Da Dan for grace? Suddenly two coughs interrupted Qin Dong's thoughts, it turned out that the head of the guard, Wu Ji, saw him distracted and reminded him loudly, you must know that this situation is very taboo.

When Qin Dong heard this, he immediately knelt down: "Thank you for the reward, Da Dan Yu, the villain has something unclear, Da Dan Yu is not afraid of the villain running away?" ”

There are many slaves in this era, and slaves are not so honestly enslaved all the time willingly, and will run away whenever they have the opportunity.

Erac laughed, "Where can you run?" Although you are a Han Chinese, but your appearance and characteristics are not much different from our Huns, generally Romans will think that you are a Hun when they see you, and you have tattoos on your face, you will be caught by others wherever you go, and you are always a slave, besides, I believe you! ”

Qin Dong didn't expect Erak to say such a thing, and pretended to be a confidant who died, knelt down and shouted: "Thank you Da Shan Yu for trust, swear allegiance to Da Shan Yu!" ”

"Alright, alright, Uji, you go and draw ten light cavalry from my 10,000th cavalry to Morlo!" Erak commanded.

The head of the guard, Wu Ji, stroked his chest and bent down to agree: "Yes, Da Danyu!" ”

After coming out of the main hall, Qin Dong said to Wuji: "Brother Wuji, I'm sorry for you, I'll invite you to drink after the funeral of the first king!" ”

Uji smiled as he walked and said, "What good wine can you kid have?" You're about to leave anyway, so I'll invite you, you're the first to go out of the guards, and I'm glad you were able to go out, by the way, do you want to have a family or no family? ”

Of course, it is best to have a family, Qin Dong is not stupid, although those with families need more food and it is more difficult to feed, but the cavalry with families will have a sense of belonging, they can form a tribe, where the water and grass are abundant, they will migrate there, and when the war is fought, the family members can be used as logistics personnel, which can also prevent some cavalry from deserting, Qin Dong replied: "It is best to have family members!" By the way, Brother Uji, I don't understand, why did Da Shan Yu let him out, and he went to Saidika? ”

After hearing this, Uji looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "You may not know, Secretary of State Oristes was murderous after hearing your idea for Da Shan Yu, if it wasn't for Da Shan Yu to stop you, you might be a dead person now, I said that you kid didn't have such a big courage before, why did you become so bold today?" Let me tell you, we little soldiers will not be involved in the matter between the big people, and we will carry out whatever orders are issued from above, and don't do such stupid things in the future, understand? ”

Qin Dong understood, just now he wondered why Erak drove him out of the royal court, and also asked him to go to Saidica, a military camp bordering the Thracian province of the Eastern Roman Empire? It turned out to be to protect him from being framed by Oristes. After thinking about it, Qin Dong's heart set off waves, he didn't expect that such a big order as Elak would spend so much effort for his little soldier, he had previously thought that if Elak was not good for him, he would not hesitate to kidnap Elak and escape, but now he blushed a little when he thought about it.

From the perspective of inner emotion, Qin Dong should be grateful to Erak, but he knows that Erak's heart is too soft, although Erak has the demeanor of a king, but this person is too indecisive and difficult to achieve great things, since ancient times, those who have ruled the world must be ruthless, and even the six relatives do not recognize it, and the means must be iron-blooded and ruthless to achieve great causes, and the benevolence of Elak is too woman, no wonder the powerful Xiongnu Empire will collapse in his hands.
