Gan Ying held the ground with a sword, panting constantly, and only after a while did he say a sentence: "What a Bari Mountain, what a good man." Ban Chao ordered Li Kaishan to cut off the heads of Ku Tu Chong and Bali Mountain, and beckoned Kunlun Xiao to return to the National Post House together.

Gongsun Miao woke up and saw that the sky was already bright, and suddenly saw Ban Chao and the others covered in blood, carrying two human heads into the hall, and he was not surprised. Ban Chao said: "Don't panic, the brothers hurry up and wash up, and go to see King Shanshan immediately." Captain, please sit down and listen to me tell you about last night. In the middle of the night last night, Princess Xiangxiang and Miss Ruyi learned that in the morning of the next day, more than 200 Xiongnu envoys would surround the State Post House, which was not good for us. I saw that the captain was drunk, so I didn't bother, and led thirty-five accompanying strong men to attack the Hun envoys at night and attack them with fire. All the Hun envoys have been killed. ”

Gongsun Miao listened, his black face was white and blue for a while, and his hands rubbed together: "How is this good?" How good is that? What should I do if you do this? What should I do? At this time, Guo Chun interjected and said, "My lord, please drink tea." Gongsun Miao raised his hand and slapped Guo Chun, "Drink!" Drink! It's all you fucking who poured me so much yellow soup last night, see if I don't skin you! ”

Guo Chun covered his face with one hand and muttered: "Don't be angry, the leopard head should have informed the adults of its actions last night, who knew that they secretly ran to grab the merit?" Gan Ying was furious when she heard this, pointed at Guo Chun and scolded: "Good you bitch!" The leopard head was not afraid of hardships and dangers last night, entered the tiger's den, bravely killed the thief, and wiped out five times the enemy with me in one battle, you wolf cub sat back and enjoyed the success, and said irresponsible things, see if I don't beat you flat! "Anyway, hit with a fist. Ban Chao hurriedly grabbed Gan Ying's arm and said: "General Gan is reckless, go rest and change clothes, look at your blood, I have something to say to Captain Guo." After that, Li Kaishan was ordered to pull Gan Ying to the backyard.

Ban Chao asked Gongsun Miao to sit down, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Lieutenant. Last night, Princess Xiangxiang came to report that the Hun envoys would surround the National Post House and kill us. In order to fight back, I waited to fight, and luckily succeeded. And the adults sit in the national post house and calmly command, this skill is inseparable from the adults. The two of us jointly sent a letter to the general, affirming that we will kill the thief in front of the martial arts array, the lord will be in command, the general will play the court, and the court will commend you, and the lord will definitely have a share. ”

When Gongsun Miao heard that he had his own share of the credit, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said cheekily: "This credit is all from Brother Sima, and we will be stained from the side." We will repay the general and Marquis Li, and the court will definitely reward them, and our brothers will not distinguish each other, which is gratifying! ”

Ban Chao knew that Gongsun Miao was feathered and greedy, but this guy was good at speaking, and he had the backstage of Weihou Li Yi, so in order to set the side plan and appease him as much as possible, he took the initiative to give him credit. I didn't expect this guy to be in vain, so calm, I thought in my heart, there is a way: The swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, why should the husband compete with such a profit-seeking and forgetful person?

When Ban Chao thought of this, he said: "This matter needs to be struck while the iron is hot, and I will go to see King Shanshan in the morning." ”

Gongsun Miao saw that Ban Chao did not treat himself as an outsider, so he changed his smiling face and smiled calmly: "Brother Sima, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and now Shanshan is still a Huns, and we have not obtained the consent of King Shanshan, and killed the Hun envoy in his royal city, if King Shanshan blames it, although Sima and the strong men are heroic, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat." ”

Ban Chao said: "My lord is too worried, the people of Shanshan and the ministers of the court want to return to Han, and the reason why King Shanshan hesitates is because he is afraid of the Huns." Today, in its royal city, we killed the Xiongnu envoys, and the king of Shanshan also had the responsibility of dereliction of duty, which just urged him to eliminate the Xiongnu and return to the Han Dynasty. "Gongsun Miao has always regarded himself as an envoy of the great powers of the Celestial Empire, pretentious, and has no one in his eyes, but he is as timid as a mouse in his bones. Before dawn, he learned that Ban Chao and others had exterminated the Xiongnu envoy without telling him, on the one hand, he was very annoyed, and on the other hand, he was frightened, and as for how to deal with this matter, he was even more helpless. Now, since Ban Chao has taken all the responsibilities and is still a credit to him, he said along the way: "Since this is the case, it is all up to Lord Sima to decide." ”

The sky was faint, Ban Chao and everyone finished washing and combing, and they all changed into a clean set of clothes, and there was no trace of last night's fight at all. Ban Chao walked out of the inn gently, the air in early summer was unusually refreshing, and the fragrance of poplars was everywhere. The apricot grove not far away looks hazy under the faint light, and clouds of white mist are thick on the ground, like a steamer that has just been opened, making people feel hot. A few early lambs are intently munching on their low alfalfa. Ban Chao moved his hands and feet, and turned back to Kunlun who came out with him and smiled: "The early dynasty will give the matter to King Shanshan, and everyone will act when the opportunity arises." You tell everybody to get ready. With that, he paced in the direction of the poplar forest with his hands behind his back.

Along the way, Ban Chao was worried. Killing the Xiongnu envoy in the capital of Shanshan, after all, is not in line with etiquette, not to mention that so far, whether the king of Shanshan abandoned the Xiongnu and returned to the Han Dynasty is still a fog. And because of the arrival of the Xiongnu envoys, it can be seen that King Shanshan was obviously wary of the Han envoys, and even the minimum diplomatic etiquette gradually faded. Therefore, how to deal with the matter of attacking and killing the Hun envoy beautifully, and also take the opportunity to persuade the king of Shanshan to have a clear mind, although Ban Chao is confident, but he clearly knows that this matter is related to the key to the success or failure of the Western Regions, and must not be taken lightly, give people a handle, otherwise, it will be difficult to go back and cook raw rice, while walking while weighing the pros and cons, I feel that the current situation is more beneficial than disadvantageous, and in such a situation, I can only succeed and not fail.

After breakfast, Ban Chao led Kunlun Xiao and the others to the palace. At this time, King Shanshan was convening his ministers to discuss the matter. Some soldiers had already reported the killing of the Xiongnu envoy to General Che Yueshan. Che Yueshan walked out of the train with a sad face, took a step forward, and said with a fist: "King, Weichen Qi, last night the north post station of the city was burned into ruins, the Hun envoys were all burned to death, and there are traces of fighting in the east and west gates, I don't know who did it." ”

"What?" When King Shanshan heard this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, his whole body bounced up from the chair, and he shouted, "Who did it?" Why were the Xiongnu envoys killed in the royal city? The ministers looked at each other when they heard this.

Seeing that King Shanshan was stiff and helpless on the throne, the minister of state Chun Shou Shi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, the Huns have held our country hostage for several years, and since the emperor of the ether has claimed to be the emperor, now more than 100 people have been sentenced in my royal city, and he will never give up." The minister thought that this should not be made public in advance, let alone let the Huns know about it, and then make a decision after the matter is clear. ”

When everyone saw Chun Slender Stone's statement, they were immediately bustling, and everyone had different opinions. Ban Chao, who had just entered the palace gate, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists and saluted and said loudly: "The king and all the adults don't need to panic, last night the Hun envoys wanted to harm me, and we didn't have time to report it, so we preemptively killed them all!" This is the head of the Sudden Rush and the Barry Mountains. After Ban Chao finished speaking, he pointed to a package in Kunlun Xiao's hand behind him.

Kunlun smiled and took a step forward, holding a bloodstained black burden in both hands and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." "After that, I have to unpack.
