Chapter Eighty-Four: An Unexpected Encounter with the Huns
Soon after splitting up the army with Luo Wen, Shi Jinshui encountered a small accident here, that is, his Loulan princess Baqin'er, who had not yet married them, actually chased him to the expeditionary force with a small team of guards. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"How did you get here? How dangerous it is in this chaos! Looking at this fiancée who ran out without permission, Shi Jinshui asked worriedly.
Seeing that the worried expression on Shi Jinshui's face didn't seem to be fake, the resentment in Baqin'er's heart couldn't help but be reduced a little, but he still said in a bad tone: "Don't you want me anymore, otherwise you haven't come back to marry me for almost half a year?" ”
"Who said it, it's just that the battle is not over yet, and after the Yue Clan Kingdom is destroyed, I will go back and marry you." Seeing that the other party mentioned this matter that he deliberately avoided again, Shi Jinshui replied with a little weakness.
Ba Qin'er obviously also saw the weakness of the other party's heart, which made her mood that had just gotten a little better lower again, and asked Shi Jinshui with an expression that was about to cry: "Do you really hate me?" If that's the case, I can get my father to break off the marriage between us, and I, Baqiner, won't be so ugly that I can't get married!" ”
Baqin'er could be said to have forced Shi Jinshui into a corner at this moment, and he could no longer avoid this question, he sighed helplessly, looked up at the other party for a while, and then replied: "No!" I don't hate you, I just hate sticks! ”
"Sticks? What's that? Shi Jinshui's answer made Baqiner feel confused.
"You don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that after eliminating the Yue people, I will go back and marry you!" After Shi Jinshui said this, he recruited a few soldiers to send his fiancée back to Loulan.
However, this behavior was immediately rejected by Baqin'er, and the princess of Loulan stubbornly said that she wanted to follow Shi Jinshui and did not want to go back. "Who knows if what you said this time is true, in case you are gone for half a year! I don't want to stay at home anymore! ”
"Good! You can follow it if you want! As long as you're not afraid to endure hardships! Shi Jinshui saw that the other party was so stubborn, so he also gave up his plan to send the other party back.
Next, Baqiner really followed the expeditionary army all the time, and she went wherever Shi Jinshui went. However, after following the expeditionary force for a while, Baqiner's originally white and tender little face soon became a trough under the scorching sun and wind and sand, and it was molting and cracking.
When Shi Jinshui saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, so he ordered his soldiers to build a carriage and let him stay in the carriage.
"Nope! I don't do anything special, and I don't want to slow down the marching speed of the troops, I'll just ride a horse! This time, in the face of Shi Jinshui's kindness, Baqiner still refused as usual.
"Who said I want you to be special, I'm tired of riding, and I'm going to ride a carriage next, and I'm just going to call you by the way!" As Shi Jinshui spoke, he pulled the other party into the carriage.
Although Shi Jinshui said so, Baqin'er understood that the other party was just looking for an excuse to get her into the carriage, after all, how could an emperor who had been fighting abroad all the year round be tired of riding a horse! This made her heart feel a burst of sweetness, thinking that although the other party didn't know why he was alienated from her, he actually cherished her fiancée in his heart.
After getting into the carriage, Shi Jinshui immediately took out the ointment that had been prepared a long time ago, wiped it on Baqiner's little face that was already full of cracks, and scolded while wiping the inside of his mouth: "Why don't you know how to take care of your body so much!" Don't you know that the most precious resource of a young woman is her appearance? Like you, you ended up making yourself a black and ugly woman, how can you make men like it! ”
Seeing Shi Jinshui applying ointment to himself with a look of pity, Baqiner was so moved that he almost wanted to cry. It was also from this time that she determined that the other party really liked her and would definitely marry her, because that kind of heartfelt care could not be disguised.
Just as the estrangement between Shi Jinshui and Baqiner was gradually eliminated, and the feelings gradually warmed up, the 20,000 pioneers of the expeditionary force had already killed the royal capital of the Yue people.
"Kid! Father is old, he can't run, you are the hope of the Yue people, take this thousand palace guards, run quickly! The farther you run, the better! In the palace of the Yue people, the old king said to his most beloved youngest son with a desperate expression.
"Father! I'm not running, I'm going to stay and fight with you to the end! As he spoke, he drew his sword and rushed out of the temple.
However, he was finally stopped by the quick-eyed King of the Yue Clan, "Silly boy! Neo-Carthage is too strong, it is impossible for us to defeat them, and if you stay, you will not end well, after all, why did the Neo-Carthaginians launch this expedition, we know better than anyone else, once they catch us, they will definitely not give us a way to live, so you can only escape in order to retain a trace of our Yue's blood! ”
Under the persuasion of his father, Nanraka finally recognized the reality, and finally glanced at his father with great nostalgia, and then fled from the royal capital from the secret passage with the thousand palace guards that had been prepared long ago.
Just as the last palace guard entered the secret passage, the shouts outside the palace were getting louder and louder, and it might not be a few minutes before the New Carthaginians would come in. In order to create more time for his son to escape, the king of the Yue clan took a few cronies and retinues, holding torches that had been prepared long ago, and began to set fires everywhere in the palace.
Soon, the entire palace was in flames, so that the New Carthaginians would not be able to find the entrance to the secret passage, at least until the fire was extinguished.
However, what the king of the Yue clan did not know was that even though he had helped his son to buy as much time as possible, but under the huge gap in technology, this effort still seemed a little weak, and after discovering that Nanraka had fled, the Neo-Carthaginians immediately dispatched their air force and quickly found Nanraka and his party. What followed was a huge chase.
Three days later, Nanraka and the only dozen or so palace guards left, riding horses that were about to run to death, moved forward along the road with difficulty, behind them, more than a hundred New Carthaginian light cavalry were in hot pursuit, but the opponent's horsepower was obviously to the extent of exhaustion, and the speed was also unable to be raised, which made Nanraja they still be able to survive.
But just when Nanraka thought that he might be able to escape again this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of them. Then more than 1,000 Hun cavalry appeared in the sight of the two sides.
When the Huns saw these two groups of people, they couldn't help but be stunned, but after seeing the dress of Nanluojia and those palace guards, those Huns were overjoyed, because they recognized at a glance that the appearance of those armors was unique to the palace guards of the Yueshi people, and as for Nanluojia, it seemed that he was an important member of the royal family of the Yueshi people, and it was even likely to be the little prince who was the favorite of the king of the Yue clan.
After the Huns, who had always been at odds with the Yueshi people, recognized the identity of this group, where would they be polite, they immediately rushed forward and arrested Nanluojia and his party.
Seeing that his prey had been robbed, the captain of the New Carthaginian cavalry was of course unwilling, and he immediately shouted at the Huns: "Who are you? Dare to rob the people whom our Neo-Carthaginian army wants to capture, without fear of causing the destruction of the country? ”
"What neo-Carthage, we haven't heard of it, we just robbed it, what's wrong? If you come over and snatch people back! In the face of the cavalry captain's questioning, the Huns shouted with contempt, as if they had never heard of the prestige of New Carthage.
And in fact, it is true, not long ago, within the Huns, there was just a civil strife, this is a civil strife caused by the struggle for the position of Shan Yu, after a bloody struggle, the young Mao Dun won his coveted position of Shan Yu, on the stage of history.
Because of this civil strife, the Huns did not get involved in the multinational coalition, so naturally they don't know what the name New Carthage represents. In their concept, the strongest countries in the Western Regions are countries like Wusun and Yueshi, and New Carthage has not even heard of the name, presumably it should be a small tribe that has recently risen, and they don't need to care about it at all.
Although he was extremely resentful of the arrogant attitude of the Huns in his heart, because of the continuous pursuit for a day and a night, the entire army was sleepy and lacking, and the strength was not superior, so it was absolutely unpleasant to fight, so the cavalry captain could only hold back this breath in the end and leave with his subordinates unwillingly.
Seeing the so-called Neo-Carthaginians retreating on their own initiative, the Huns couldn't help but laugh more and more proudly. But he has personally experienced the terrible Nanluojia of the New Carthaginians, but he knows that these Huns have caused a big disaster, which makes his face can't help but show a hint of happiness, although he may be in the catastrophe this time, but he can exchange his life for the feud of their Yue people, and the Huns are also going to destruction together, and they can be regarded as unjustly dead.
Soon the Hun cavalry returned to their camp and brought Nanraka before their new Shan Yu.
Looking at this embarrassed prince of the Yue clan who had become his own captive, Mao Dun, who had just ascended to the position of Shan Yu, couldn't help laughing happily: "Haha! God help me! As soon as I thought about launching an attack on the Yue Clan, my warriors caught you, the prince of the Yue Clan, and then your father will definitely throw a rat trap and dare not fight with my Great Huns with all his might, and my Great Huns will win this battle! ”
"Haha・・・・・・!" But Maudun's laughter was soon suppressed by Nanraja's louder laughter.
"Maudun! Maudun! I feel sorry for you! I'm not afraid to tell you that the Yue Clan Country no longer exists, and my father is dead, but you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, arrest me back, because by doing so, you have offended an existence that is even more terrible than the Qin Empire, and your Great Huns will soon follow in the footsteps of our Yue Clan! ”
