The cavalry patrol quickly rushed over, and the leading cavalry saw Qin Dong's armor as a guard, covered in blood, and there were more than a dozen corpses of black-clothed people lying around, so he immediately jumped down from his horse and walked to Qin Dong's side, and when he saw Qin Dong's appearance, he immediately exclaimed: "It turned out to be Qin Centurion, this, what's going on?" Are you alright? ”

Qin Dong barely stood up, he lost too much blood, and his face was a little pale, "Someone assassinated me, all the people lying on the ground are assassins, I'm fine, can you please send someone to the southeast and southeast four miles outside the city to inform my subordinates, tell them about the situation, and ask them to send someone to pick me up?" ”

"Centurion Qin, please rest assured, I'll send someone immediately, your injuries are not light, let's go to the patrol camp to treat and bandage the wounds, right?"

Qin Dong himself also felt that the injury was indeed not light, mainly because of excessive bleeding, he urgently needed to stop the bleeding, and bandaged the wound, and he was now seriously injured, if the assassin came to assassinate again, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape, and the one who went to the cavalry patrol could treat the wound, and the other could be safe, and the patrol camp was at least much safer than here, so he immediately expressed his gratitude.

The captain of the cavalry patrol immediately sent a cavalryman to report the news outside the city, and asked his soldiers to help Qin Dong on a war horse and go to the patrol camp.

When Liu San got the news and arrived at the patrol with more than 30 cavalrymen, Qin Dong had already cleaned the wound with the help of others, sewed the wound with needles and threads, sprinkled with the powder that invigorated blood and muscles, and wrapped it with a clean white cloth.

Liu San was already frightened when he saw the three long and deep wounds on Qin Dong's body, Qin Dong was the sky above the heads of the three of them, if something happened to Qin Dong, it would be difficult for the three of them to survive in this Western world, he looked anxious and said: "Young master, don't do anything, it's too dangerous, it's really too dangerous, you must bring more guards when you go out in the future, and I don't know which god killed it, you must be jealous of your promotion to an official position and being rewarded with so much property by Da Danyu!" ”

Qin Dong didn't have time to think about the reason why he was assassinated by so many assassins, but now that Liu San mentioned it, he suddenly remembered, the appearance of this group of assassins was too sudden, and it was too weird, every assassin was not mediocre, they seemed to have received special training in cooperation with assassination, all of them were highly skilled, and there were many people in the royal court who were capable of killing him, as long as they found a random reason, there was no need to send assassins to assassinate.

Who is going to poison himself? Qin Dong thought about the people who might attack him, there were a lot of people he had offended in the past two days, especially in the battle at the bonfire banquet last night, many ministers lost the lottery, and it was inevitable that there would be resentments among them, could it be the Right Virtuous King Enek?

Although he didn't see the faces of the assassins when he was fighting, those assassins were obviously not Hu people, nor barbarians, Hu people and barbarians did not use rapiers as weapons, and only the so-called gentlemen and nobles of the Roman Empire used rapiers as weapons.

If Qin Dong offended the most people is undoubtedly the Right Virtuous King Enek, last night Qin Dong almost swept away the face of the Right Virtuous King at the bonfire banquet, then those assassins are the most suspicious sent by the Right Virtuous King Enek, although the Right Virtuous King Enek is the most suspicious, but Qin Dong himself knows that even if there is evidence, he can't do anything to Enek, he is just a centurion, and the person is the Right Virtuous King, with 30,000 iron horsemen, Dadan Yu Erak will not turn his face with the Right Virtuous King for him, he can only endure this matter.

The next morning, Qin Dong rushed to the gate of Da Danyu Elak's big tent with thirty knights wounded, and he was specially notified to come over to participate in the court meeting.

Wu Ji, the chief of the guard who was guarding in front of the big tent, saw Qin Dong arrive, and immediately walked over and said, "Qin Dong, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you alone!" ”

Qin Dong hurriedly said: "Brother Lao Wuji has been waiting for a long time!"

After the report, Qin Dong walked into the big tent, the big tent was full of civil and military ministers, Qin Dong saw that this formation was not small, it was definitely not for Attila's burial, this matter had already been arranged, and there was no need for so many ministers to discuss it specifically, he walked to the middle and bent down to salute: "Centurion Qin Dong to meet Da Danyu!" ”

"Well, you can stand aside!" Erak waved his hand.

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" Qin Dong's official position was too small, and he was not qualified to sit with these ministers at all, so he could only stand at the very end.

Erak looked at the ministers on the left and right and said sharply, "What's going on these days?" First of all, the first king inexplicably returned to immortality, and then the secretary of state, Mr. Constantius, was inexplicably killed by the guards close to him, and last night there was an incident in which Qin Dong, a centurion who had just been canonized, was assassinated by dozens of assassins, fortunately Qin Dong's courage and invincibility, otherwise I am afraid that he would also be poisoned, and one after another accidents occurred, what is going on? ”

Qin Dong, who was standing at the end, was stunned for a while, it seems that history is probably going to change, Constantius and his assassination last night are related to himself, officially because of his own intervention, it is likely that history has undergone slight changes, he doesn't know whether Attila's chief secretary Stantius died or not, but there is no record in history, after Attila's death, the history books of the Roman Empire have very few records of the Huns, and there are only records of the secretary of state Oristeus, who returned to the Western Roman Empire not long after Attila's death, There has been no mention of Constantius or the chief confidential secretary of Onigseus.

The historian of the Eastern Roman Empire, Pliscus, recorded in detail the process of his envoy to the Hun court with the Eastern Roman Empire at that time, and this person and the head of the mission, Maximin, had a separate conversation with Attila's secretaries, and saw Attila himself and many ministers around him in Attila's royal tent, so the "Envoy to the Hun Palace" he wrote became the most accurate and detailed version of many descriptions of the Hun Empire, Attila and his ministers, But the account of what happened after Attila's death became very obscure.

When Qin Dong was thinking about it, the atmosphere in the big tent changed, and he only heard Erak say: "According to the investigation of the cavalry patrol, Mr. Constantius died quite strangely, and those two guards have been following him for many years, why did they kill for a little money at this time?" This is a suspicious point, but now there is no other trace, and the assassins who assassinated the centurion Qin Dong last night actually reached more than thirty people, these people are all highly skilled in martial arts, using the thin sword of the Roman Empire, although Qin Dong killed more than a dozen people, but he himself was seriously injured, he was just a small centurion, and he was only promoted the night before, did those assassins make a fuss? Is the mastermind behind the scenes a little too narrow-minded, and dispatches such a powerful force just to deal with a centurion? This single thought that there must be some kind of connection in this series of events, so it must be investigated, where is Lored? ”

Attila's chief of guard, the bald man Lored walked from behind the ministers to the middle, stroked his chest and bent over, and said, "Da Shan Yu, the ministers are here!" ”

"These two cases are handed over to you to take over the investigation, there are so many assassins in the royal court and we don't know about it, it's too dangerous, you have to do your best to investigate clearly!"

Lored said: "Yes, Da Danyu!" ”

After Lored retreated, Erak said, "The coffin of the former king will be sent to the cemetery in the afternoon, how should the body of Constantius be arranged?" Did the sages of the Great Huns build any yì? ”

A minister stood up and said: "Da Danyu, Mr. Constantius was originally from the Eastern Roman Empire, and in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to hand over the body to his widow and bring it back to the Eastern Roman Empire for burial!" ”

As soon as this man finished speaking, there was an objection immediately, and the Ostrogothic king Varamir stood up and said: "It's too troublesome, Da Danyu, Mr. Constantius has been loyal to the previous king for more than ten years, and now that he is dead, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to hurry up than to coincide, just let Mr. Constantius accompany the first king to be buried together!"

When the ministers heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all nodded their heads and praised this method as good, since they want to bury Attila, how convenient is it to bury Constantius by the way?

Erak asked the confidential secretary Onigseus, "Sir, do you think this is possible?" ”

"Yes, Da Danyu, the space in the tomb of the former king is large enough, and it is more than enough to hold a Constantius!" Onigseus' words relieved the ministers.

This is the Ostrogothic king Valamir who said: "Da Dan Yu, the minister has a request, please ask Da Dan Yu to reward the widow of Constantius to the minister as a wife!" ”

Everyone didn't expect this guy to come out like this, and they all thought that the woman was beautiful and full of charm, but your brother doesn't have to be so anxious, right? The husband's bones are still cold, and your old man can't wait to sleep with his wife?

Erak pondered for a while and then agreed: "Okay, since Valamir likes her, then Shan Yu will call the shots, let her marry you!" ”

Elac didn't expect that his careless actions would cause irreparable consequences later. In the Xiongnu, there was originally a tradition of marrying a brother's wife after the death of a brother, and there was also a tradition of a son marrying his father's wife after the death of his father, of course, the biological mother could not, since these can be done, marrying the wife of a colleague is naturally not a problem at all, but Attila broke this tradition, he murdered his brother Breda in 445 and ruled the world alone, but he did not marry Breda's wife.

The most important property of the Huns was not gold, not cattle, sheep and horses, but women! When the Xiongnu fight and cannibalism, they can kill children who reach the height of the wheel, as well as the elderly, but they will never kill women, but they can kill all men when plundering, do not want slaves, they can kill children, burn a qiē, but they definitely do not kill women, because women are the necessary conditions for them to continue the population, the Huns have lived in the cold grasslands of the north for a long time, and the living conditions are poor, so the birth survival rate of children is very low, and to have more children, there must be enough women, after the death of men, His women can marry freely, so as to prevent women from being idle, this is the Huns.
