Chapter 599: Harboring Evil Intentions
Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers, escorting more than 100 Xiongnu women, children and old people, were walking towards the edge of the royal court.
When marching slowly, the Huns kept shouting and cursing at the Huns they were escorting, while the escorted people wailed, and the situation was not miserable.
Because of the upset nature of their crying, from time to time one or two Huns would step forward and kick the crying man twice.
Although the Huns who had just been kicked twice by the Huns would stop crying, but after a while, the Huns who were kicked thought that they were about to be cut off their heads, and they couldn't help but feel sad again and howled loudly.
A Hun woman led a little girl who was only about four or five years old, and although the Hun woman was full of fear and sorrow, she did not wail like the others, but looked around as she walked.
Taking advantage of the inattention of the Hun soldiers beside her, the woman suddenly dragged the little girl, pulled her legs and ran out of the team, and rushed straight to a row of Hun tents.
But before she could rush a few steps, two Hun soldiers rushed out of her face.
The two Huns who jumped out stood in front of the two people, one big and one small, one of them raised his foot and kicked the woman's heart, and the other stepped forward, grabbed the little girl, lifted the little girl high above his head, and was about to throw him to the ground.
As soon as the Huns, who kicked down the woman, hit the ground, they pulled out a straight knife, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and raised the straight knife high above their heads.
At the moment when the Hun man's straight knife was about to fall, his wrist was grabbed.
The straight knife did not fall, and the Hun who was grabbed by the wrist was suddenly furious, and turned his head to glare at the person holding his wrist.
But when he saw the person holding his wrist clearly, he suddenly wilted with fright.
It was none other person who was holding his wrist, Liu Bian, who had already caught up and wanted to see what was going on.
As soon as he saw that Liu Wei was holding his wrist, the Huns holding the hilt of the knife with both hands bent their legs, knelt down with a "poof", and lay on the ground, already trembling with fright.
When Liu Wei grabbed the Hun man's wrist, the two dragoon guards who followed him had already jumped out of the way and snatched the girl from the Hun who was holding up the little girl.
One of the dragoons, while his companion had taken the girl down, shouted to the Huns: "Kneel! ”
The Huns couldn't understand what the dragoons were saying, but they could hear the sternness in their tone, and when the dragoons let out a loud shout, the Huns also had weak legs and fell to the ground.
When these Hun soldiers escorted more than 100 people towards the periphery of the royal court, the Huns in the royal court were afraid of getting into trouble, and not many people dared to come out to watch.
But Liu Wei suddenly intervened, and the situation changed abruptly, and the Hun soldiers who were escorting more than 100 people to behead knelt on the ground, but many Hun civilians came out of the tent and looked at Liu Wei and others from a distance.
The crowd gathered more and more, the Huns holding the prisoners and the Huns who were being escorted by the Huns all knelt on the ground, and the Huns who were about to be pulled to be beheaded still kept crying, but they no longer dared to cry loudly, but changed to sobbing quietly.
"What's wrong?" Turning his head to look at the Huns who were in tattered clothes and about to be dragged out of the house to be beheaded, Liu Wei frowned tightly, and asked the Hun soldiers who escorted them: "What crime have they committed?" Why drag it to chop off the head? ”
The Xiongnu soldiers had a low status and did not learn the language of the Han people like the nobles, although Liu Wei asked questions, but no one answered.
"Find someone who understands Chinese." Seeing that none of the dozens of Hun soldiers present responded, Liu Wei knew that it was because they couldn't understand Chinese, so he gave an order to a dragoon guard behind him.
"They are so cruel to their own people, what do such people do to them?" Turning his head to look at the Huns who almost killed the little girl before, Wang Liu frowned slightly, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and whispered to Liu Wei: "The last general will split him, so as to save another disaster in the future." ”
"I'll wait until things are cleared up." Hearing Wang Liu's whispered words, Liu Wei lowered his voice, stopped her intention to kill, and said to her: "Wait until you find out why these people are dragged out of the body to be beheaded, and then make a plan!" ”
Liu Wei said this, Wang Liu didn't dare to insist, but just glared angrily at the Hun who had just raised the little girl.
Although he couldn't understand the words of the Han people, the Huns could feel the coldness in Wang Liu's eyes, and knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
A dragoon guard was ordered to find a Hun who understood the Han language, and after a while, he brought back a Hun man who was about thirty years old.
Following behind the dragoon, the man was still trembling involuntarily as he walked, obviously scared in his heart.
As soon as he arrived at Liu Bian's approach, before the dragoon guard introduced Liu Bian, the man fell to the ground with weak legs.
"Get up!" Raising his hand at the man, he looked him from head to toe, and Liu Wei asked him, "Do you understand the words of the Han people?" ”
"Understood!" stood up according to Liu Bian's instructions, the man's legs were still shaking, and he replied to Liu Bian.
"Ask them, why are these women, children, children and the elderly dragged to beheaded?" Raising his hand and pointing at the Hun soldiers kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei gave an order to the man.
When he spoke, Liu Bian's tone was as gentle as possible, and the fear in the heart of the Hun man also receded slightly, and according to Liu Wei's instructions, he asked the Hun soldiers kneeling on the ground in Xiongnu dialect.
The Hun soldiers kneeling on the ground, from Liu Bian's expression, saw the coldness and dissatisfaction, one by one the frightened souls wandered out of the world, the man just asked, the Hun soldiers who had just been grabbed by Liu Bian's wrist trembled and responded.
After listening to what the Hun soldier said, the man who had been instructed by Liu Wei to ask the Hun soldiers about the reason bowed down, pressed his hand to his chest and maintained the posture of saluting the Huns to Liu Wei, and said to Liu Wei: "They said that they were ordered by the King of Yougu Li, and they wanted to kill all the families of King Youxian and Huchuquan...... Clearing the way for Da Dan to stabilize the royal court......"
"Forgive these people!" Frowning slightly, after listening to what the man said, Liu Wei waved his hand, turned his head and commanded a dragoon guard behind him: "Immediately dispatch a team of soldiers to protect Hu Chuquan and the family members of Qubei, and no one is allowed to touch them at all!" ”
"What should these Hun soldiers do?" The dragoon guards who had been ordered to leave in response, and Wang Liu, who was standing behind Liu Wei, whispered a question to him.
"Let them go!" frowned slightly, looking at the Hun soldiers who were still arrogant just now, but at this time, they were like eggplants that had been beaten, and they didn't even dare to say a word, Liu Wei gave a faint order to Wang Liu and others.
Ordered people to protect Huchuquan and Qubei's family, Liu Wei led Wang Liu and others, walked a few steps forward, and suddenly seemed to remember something, first stopped and stood for a while, and then said to Wang Liu and others: "Follow this king to visit the current King of Zuogu Li!" ”
Wang Liu and the others responded, and one of the dragoons first went to ask the Hun man who had just translated for Liu Wei about the residence of the king of Zuogu Li, and then told Liu Wei the residence, and everyone followed behind Liu Wei and went straight to the king of Zuogu Li.
Returning to his residence from the king's tent, the current Hun Zuogu Liwang is full of resentment. Liu Bao returned and redid back to King Zuoxian, which already made him quite unhappy in his heart, thinking that once he came back, the position of King Youxian might not be his share, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was even stronger.
Suddenly, he remembered that the families of Qubei and Huchuquan were still detained in the royal court, and if he killed all the family members of Qubei, he would probably not surrender to the king of Luoyang even if he died.
Thinking of this relationship, King Zuogu Li immediately ordered people to drag Hu Chuquan and his family members out of the palace and behead them.
But people are not as good as heaven, what he didn't expect was that just when Hu Chuquan and Qubei's family were about to be dragged out of the house to cut off their heads, Liu Wei suddenly appeared and stopped the matter.
Sitting in the tent, he was laughing with his wife and concubine, waiting for the news that all the family members of Huchuquan had been killed, and the voice of a personal soldier came from outside the tent: "The king of Luoyang has arrived!" ”
Hearing the shouts of his own soldiers, King Zuo Guli suddenly understood, and it must have been Liu Wei who knew that he had ordered Hu Chuquan and his family members to be killed, and he came to question him.
However, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that the family members of the two had been killed. If that's the case, Liu Wei came to him, but he just reprimanded him, and it couldn't reverse what had happened.
"Stand down!" Waving his hand at his wife and concubine, and retreating from his wife and concubine who were laughing with him, King Zuogu Li stood up and strode out of the tent.
As soon as he got out of the tent, he saw Liu Wei leading Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and several dragoons towards him.
Seeing Liu Wei from afar, King Zuo Guli hurriedly stood outside the tent curtain, bowed down, pressed his right hand on his left heart, and made a Hun salute to Liu Wei.
It wasn't until Liu Wei approached that King Zuo Guli spoke: "I don't know if His Royal Highness has arrived, Xiao Wang has missed his welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins!" ”
"It's just idle and strolling around the royal court!" Smiling at the king of Zuogu Li, Liu Wei said to him in a very gentle tone: "Elect Da Dan Yu, so that the Huns and this king will raise the banner and stop the army, and the king of Zuogu Li can be said to have worked hard!" ”
Liu Wei opened his mouth to say such a thing, which immediately made King Zuogu Li stunned.
Hearing that Liu Wei was coming, he thought of all kinds of situations, and even thought that Liu Wei would be furious, pointing at his nose and scolding him. But he didn't think about it, Liu Wei not only didn't scold him, but was polite to him like a common talk.
"It's all what Xiao Wang should do!" Maintaining a saluting posture, King Zuogu Li answered, and then made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness, please enter the account!" ”
Regarding the invitation of King Zuogu Li, Liu Wei did not refuse, but nodded at him and strode into the tent.
Sisters Wang Liu and Wang Zhen followed into the tent of King Li, and the dragoons stood outside the tent, their hands on the hilt of their swords, and looked around vigilantly.
