Cattle and sheep are grazed, and war horses are unsaddled.

Usu, the leader of the Moon Wolf Descendant tribe, sat in his place and had a headache. In the big tent, his men were scattered.

The Xiongnu were mainly active on the border of Zhao and Qin, bordering Yueshi to the west and Donghu to the east.

The enemies of the Xiongnu were not only the people of China in the south, but also their own kindred. With the rise of Touman, pressure has been felt among the various tribes.

There was actually a great grudge between the Xiongnu and the Zhao State. Hearing that Li Mu was transferred, they couldn't figure out the truth and the truth, and they weren't prepared to go south so quickly.

It's just that a caravan returning from the Donghu tribe attracted the attention of the Xiongnu.

A small tribe near the descendants of the moon wolf sent a few hundred knights, but they were repelled several times by the caravan guards of a hundred people, and finally chased to the small city on the border of Zhao.

Usu personally went to see the corpses of those dead Hun warriors, all of them were fatal with one arrow, and there were no extra scars on their bodies.

It's been years since Usu has seen such a powerful archer.

Only, what worries Usu even more is that after the tribe suffered a crushing defeat under the city of the Zhao army, it was directly annexed by Touman.

Then, Touman and his tribal leaders continued south, but only found an empty city.

The Xiongnu soldiers set up camp for the time being, waiting for further information. But the descendants of the moon wolf can't wait any longer, Touman is rich and rich, he can afford to drag it, but the other small tribes can't afford it.

If the power is damaged, I am afraid that it will be directly annexed by Touman.

"Chief, my sister is back."

The familiar voice remembered, Wu Su was stunned for a moment, the worry on his face froze, and then he snorted.

"She didn't listen to me, eloped with Zhao Ren, and now she wants to come back?"

It's just that there is still a bit of distress in Wusu's words after all, but it is not only Wusu's clan who comes back, but also a Chinese person with a red mask.

The appearance of this person made Usu's face appear vigilant, and his old body tensed.

The beasts of the steppe, he has seen a lot of age. It is the most vicious beast, the wolf king of the grassland, and Usu has also seen it.

In a way, there is not much difference between man and beast. Usu's ability to see people is much better than that of wild beasts.

He could see that Touman was a strong man who could make the Huns strong, but he also knew that his violence and greed would cause the descendants of the Moon Wolf to suffer a catastrophe.

Usu was worried, but there was nothing else he could do.

But the person in front of him had a deep momentum, which made Usu instinctively give birth to a sense of fear.

"Who are you?"

"A man who wants to work with the Descendants of the Moon Wolves."

Zhao Shuang looked at the people among the descendants of the moon wolf in the big tent, most of them were women, and they were all good-looking. The wife of the general of the Zhao army who brought him took a look at the acquaintance in the tent, her face was complicated, she bowed, and then withdrew.

"The chief should also be aware of the ambition of the head man to annex the various tribes of the steppe. Now a tribe, because of the failure of the attack on Zhao Di, all the women in the tribe were robbed by the head man, and the men were killed for their crimes. Isn't this a cause for alarm? ”

Usu smiled, and his face was very unkind.

"But even so, there is no need for us to cooperate with you. People of the same race can't be trusted, and you, an outsider, are even less trustworthy! ”

"We have a long friendship, how can we be said to be outsiders?"

In the big tent, there was a sudden sound of chuckling.

"It's the first time I've heard a Chinese man talk to a barbarian in their mouth. If you don't make sense, then I'll hand you over to Touman. You should be clear about his methods of dealing with the people of Huaxia. ”

In an instant, the big tent was full of murderous intent, and more than one knife was pulled out of its scabbard.

Zhao Shuang was unconscious and smiled lightly.

"Our friendship began with the flood 2,000 years ago........

Wu Su was stunned for a moment, looking at this person who talked endlessly, and regretted it in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have reasoned with him.

An hour passed, and the guy in front of him didn't seem to feel a little tired. Usu has a pair of old eyes, and he is so sleepy that he can't open them. The menacing subordinates around him were also dozing.

"Enough!"

Wu Su really couldn't bear it, and stopped Zhao Shuang's words with a loud shout.

"I'll tell you the truth! We can't trust you at all, so leave immediately, or I'll hand you over to Touman. ”

Zhao Shuang smiled and put his hands behind his back.

"Just Touman, what are you afraid of!"

This sentence was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the people in the tent looked at each other, and Usu, who was sitting in the leader's seat, laughed even more.

"He now has 10,000 horsemen in his hands, and you? How can you say such a big thing? ”

"In that case, we might as well make a bet."

"What bet?"

Touman will soon find that he can obtain much more at the border of Zhao at the moment than he imagined, and he will inevitably continue to go south. Let's bet on how much loot we will get from this trip? ”

"I bet he'll lose all his money!"

At this moment, outside the tent, a person walked into the big tent and whispered a few words in Usu's ear, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

Wu Su looked at Zhao Shuang and asked.

"What's the stake?"

Zhao Shuang took out a night pearl from his sleeve and placed it in front of everyone.

"This bead is worth enough to buy a year's worth of food for your tribe. And I still have ten such beads. ”

Zhao Shuang threw the night pearl to Wu Su and continued.

"If I lose, seal the other ten together."

Usu held the bead in his hand, and his face was complicated. He knew very well the value of this pearl of the night, and he also knew that what the person in front of him said was true.

For a moment, his heart was a little apprehensive.

"What if we lose?"

"The entire descendant of the Moon Wolves, for generations, will be my slaves."

"What did you say!"

The situation in the big tent became tense again, and the descendants of the moon wolf present were all angered by Zhao Shuang's words.

"If the leader is unwilling, I will give you this pearl of the night as a sincerity to continue to cooperate in the future. Or, the chief could gamble big and win the tribe's rations for ten years at a time, and never have to be coerced by the head man again. ”

"Touman has already sent a message just now, there is no trace of Zhao Jun in the northern part of Yunzhong County, as long as we move fast enough, it is enough to return with a full load. Even if so, do you still want to gamble? ”

"I know better than the leader what the situation is on the border of Zhao at this moment."

Wu Su clenched the night pearl in his hand, and his voice was a little depressed, like a gambler, the last madness before the opening.

"Well, if you win, swear in the name of the gods that all the women, warriors, horses, cattle and sheep, slaves, including our lives, are yours."
