Chapter 11 Funeral (Praise) Song

When he returned to the royal court, it was still early, Qin Dong went to the guard training camp to practice horse combat skills, and traveled to this era of cold weapons, Qin Dong understood very well the importance of single combat effectiveness, especially horse combat ability, which was the ability to save his life.

The owner of this body originally had a set of family marksmanship, and it was horse warfare marksmanship, and his predecessor had already practiced it to the fullest, and he knew it well, what Qin Dong had to do now was to absorb this set of marksmanship as much as possible to become his own, and if he wanted to strengthen his combat effectiveness, he had to go through actual combat.

After practicing in the training ground for about two hours, Qin Dong practiced all over his body, and saw that the sky was dark, so he went out of the training ground and rode on his horse to take a cold shower by the small river outside the royal court, and it was still a little cold to take a cold shower at this time, but Qin Dong couldn't manage it so much, the Huns didn't even take a bath once a year, and the original owner of this body had taken a bath less often in the past few years, and there was a strong fishy smell on his body, and Qin Dong couldn't stand it if he didn't wash it.

After bathing and returning to the camp of the guards from the river, it was already completely dark, and bonfires were lit in almost all the open spaces in the royal court, and the cattle and sheep that had been killed and cleaned were carried out and set up on the fire to bake, and these cattle and sheep were all skewered with wooden sticks, and there were people next to them from time to time to turn them to make the beef and mutton bake evenly, and then sprinkle some spices, and in a short time the whole royal court exuded a rich smell of meat.

The bonfires everywhere in the royal court illuminated the entire royal court in the dark night, and when Qin Dong returned to the camp, he happened to be seen by the captain of the guard, Wu Ji, and grabbed Qin Dong and said: "You will go to Saidika in a few days, and you will go to the bonfire banquet with me, eat and drink more, and it will be regarded as seeing you off!" ”

Qin Dong didn't want to go, he still had very important things to do, which was related to the real cause of Attila's death, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe there was no conflict in time, so he agreed, put the horses and spears into the tent where he lived, and then walked to the scene of the campfire banquet.

The bonfire banquet for the new Grand Shan Yu was set up in the open space in front of the main hall, which was large enough to hold thousands of people, and even the passage between the tents was full.

At this time, the new Great Shan Yu Erak and several princes, as well as some major ministers and generals did not come, Shan Yu was empty on the throne, and the positions where the ministers and generals on both sides were sitting were also empty, Qin Dong quickly found the chief of the guard, Wu Ji was taking some guards to maintain order, and when he saw Qin Dong coming, he pointed to a seat near the throne and said: "You go and sit over there first, and I will sit in the second row later, and you will sit in the third row and sit behind me!" ”

"Okay, Brother Uji, by the way, do you have enough manpower, do you want me to help?"

"No, you go and sit down, Da Shan Yu and the ministers will be here soon, and the bonfire will start soon!"

Qin Dong didn't say anything more when he heard Wu Ji say this, he turned around and walked to the seat with the handle of the knife, and at this time there were already some guards sitting here, including Sanji, who Qin Dong knew, and Mulu, and Qin Dong greeted them.

When Sanji saw Qin Dong arrive, he shouted, "Qin Dong, why did you come here, this kid?" Sit down, I heard that you have been rewarded with ten cavalry by Da Dan Yu, and you will be stationed in Saidika in a few days? ”

Qin Dong smiled: "Yes, how do you all know?" ”

Mu Lu said next to him: "I sued them!" ”

It's no wonder, when Erak rewarded the ten cavalry, Mulu was outside the main hall, and naturally heard the conversation in the main hall clearly, Qin Dong remembered, nodded and said: "So that's the case, seriously, I'm really reluctant to leave you!" How good it is to be in the royal court, follow Da Shan Yu to eat and drink, and when you go outside, you have to find food by yourself! ”

Sanji pouted: "Come on, Qin Dong, you still don't want such a good opportunity?" If it were me, I would be so happy that not every guard could let it out! ”

Indeed, the Huns have a natural aggressiveness in their bones, the cold in the north makes their living environment worse than in the south, often in winter there is a shortage of food, especially in the cold climate, without food they can only go south to plunder, hundreds of years ago they raided the border of the Han Dynasty on the Mongolian Plateau, and now they come to Europe to plunder the Roman Empire, and even rob the barbarians.

When the Mongolian Plateau, the Huns were defeated by the Han Dynasty, they could only move west to gain a new living space, after coming to the West, they found that the cavalry tactics that did not work for the Han Dynasty before were now terrified of the Westerners, and the Westerners were vulnerable under the impact of their overwhelming iron cavalry, so they lost hundreds of years of self-confidence and regained, so they were out of control, and began to sweep across Europe, and every guard of the Xiongnu royal court was eager to go to the border to garrison, so that their aggressive nature could be brought into play.

While speaking, several princes and ministers came one after another and sat down according to the corresponding seats, and suddenly a long announcement sounded: "Da Shan Yu has arrived-"

Tens of thousands of people in the entire royal court stood up and bowed in the direction of the palace, bowed and shouted: "Meet Da Shan Yu!" ”

In the eyes of the crowd, Erak ascended the high platform under the escort of a dozen guards, sat on the throne, and after taking his seat, nodded to the attendants who followed, and the attendants shouted: "Rise, Da Dan Yu Ling: The bonfire banquet has officially begun, drum music."

After the words fell, the long rows of horns behind the banquet crowd made various sounds under the blowing of professionals, especially ancient, on the way from the high platform where the throne was located to Attila's dormitory, people naturally made a way, more than a dozen guards carried Attila's body out of the dormitory, followed by hundreds of women, these were Attila's wives, after the body was carried out, only a few guards were left to continue to guard the dormitory, and the others all followed Attila's body to the middle of the bonfire, Then a group of strangely dressed and savage-looking shamans began to dance the Hun dance around the bonfire and the body of Attila, and sang the Hun elegy, which was dedicated to Attila, the king of the Huns.

They sang in the Hun language: "O Attila, son of Mondiuk, holy great man, commander of the Hu people, king of warriors! Thou hast ruled Scythia and Germania alone with unsurpassed power; You threatened the two Roman empires, conquering their countless cities; In order to keep the other cities safe, they all pay you tribute. After all these achievements, you finally passed away without pain, either by the entrapment of your enemies or by the betrayal of your subordinates, but in the happiest happiness, in the splendor of your nation. Since there is no murderer who can avenge you, who can say that this is the end of your life? ”

Everyone present sang this mourning song with this group of wizards, this mourning song did not mean a little sadness, all the people in the royal court, whether it was the Huns or the Hu people of other nationalities, were proud and excited when they sang this song, which was a hymn to the great man in their hearts.
