It was dark, and I couldn't see the faces of the Hu people clearly, but I saw that they were all tall and strong, and they didn't know what to say to each other, and then they escorted Liu Qiang to a big tent.

The tent is brightly lit, and there is a person sitting on the top, like a king, and many people are sitting around, dressed in very different Han people, all with deep eyes and high noses, and fierce and vicious.

The king asked Liu Qiang why he was sneaky and visited Red Dragon Castle. Liu Qiang said to him: "The villain is a hunter in the mountains, someone in the Red Dragon Fort owes the villain a few mink money that has not been paid, and the family has been living in difficulty recently, and he wants to go to the city to collect debts, and he doesn't want to meet the king attacking the city, so he wanders here." "The king is searched. Liu Qiang sewed Zhao Wanming's letter into the mezzanine of his clothes, and Hu Bing groped up and down, but did not find anything suspicious. Liu Qiang was secretly happy in his heart. The king looked left, talked to one person, and after a while, ordered someone to lock Liu Qiang in another tent.

It turned out that these Hu people could speak both Chinese and their own language, and when confidential matters were discussed, they spoke their own language.

The next day, several Hu soldiers escorted Liu Qiang out and asked him to lead the way to his home. Obviously, Hu Ren did this to verify whether his words were true. Liu Qiang was frightened, he didn't know how to deal with it, and led a few Hu soldiers to walk on the mountain road, thinking about how to escape. But one of the four Hu soldiers was on the left and right, and the two in the back, Liu Qiang was caught in the middle, and his hands were firmly tied, without the slightest chance of escaping.

Liu Qiang was not familiar with the nearby paths, and when the group was taken to a ravine with no way to go, the Hu people understood Liu Qiang's trick and took him back to the big tent.

The king was furious, and he dragged Liu Qiang out of the tent and beat him with fifty whips. When Liu Qiang was brought back, his skin was open and he was dying. He couldn't resist the coercion and temptation of the Hu people, and from beginning to end, he recruited all the letters in the mezzanine of his clothes how Zhao Wanming was mistakenly plundered to Tielan Mountain and how the lord of Huangzhai ordered him to come to deliver the letter, and handed over the letter in the mezzanine of his clothes to Hu Bing. The king was overjoyed to be believed, and let him heal his wounds and take good care of him.

Liu Qiang was young and strong, and after more than ten days, the whiplash was no longer a major problem. The Hu people were very strictly guarded, but the supply of medicine and food was abundant. Later, the king matched Liu Qiang with a Hu girl, and his care gradually became looser, so he settled down in the Hu tribe. Hu Nu's name is Tuoba Rong, different from the gentle and delicate Han girl, Tuoba Rong has a strong body and a rough personality, Liu Qiang gets along with it, and is not used to it at first, but later feels that this woman has some benefits, not only taking care of Liu Qiang in terms of diet, that is, usually herding cattle and horses, but also not using Liu Qiang to get started.

Tuoba Rong told Liu Qiang that they were the Tuoba Department, the leader was Tuoba Xiong, with more than 10,000 people, nomadic in the western plains of Wancheng, and now they have broken through more than ten Wubao forts in the west of Wancheng, and they are the most powerful Hu tribe in Wancheng.

Red Dragon Fort Zhao Tianyi united four or five surrounding dock forts and our tribe as enemies, the two sides were deadlocked for more than a year, at present, the other dock forts have been captured, only this Red Dragon Fort remains, Zhao Tianyi is extremely tenacious, stick to the city, Tuoba Department suffered heavy losses, unable to win. Liu Qiang was often woken up by nightmares late at night, he either dreamed that Zhao Wanming angrily scolded his traitor for glory, or dreamed that he was beaten to death by Huang Xian with one palm. Whenever this happens, Tuoba Rong uses the gentleness unique to women to dissolve the pressure of his spiritual world.

In the evening of that day, Hu Bing came to summon him, saying that Tuoba Xiong had important orders. Liu Qiang was uneasy in his heart, and entered the leader's big tent, in addition to Tuoba Xiong, there were four Han people on the side.

Tuoba Xiong was kind and pleasant, and asked whether the wounds were healed, whether he was used to life, etc., how dare Liu Qiang slack off, and only promised to accept it. Seeing that Liu Qiang was no longer nervous, Tuoba Xiong changed the conversation and said: "Liu Qiang, Red Dragon Fort has been an enemy of our department for many years, and this Shuai will definitely set foot on the castle this time and hate the fallen warriors;

Liu Qiang complained bitterly in his heart, but on the surface he had to admit it, and said: "The villain is willing to go!"

Tuoba Xiong was overjoyed, and pointed to a few people beside him: "Tonight is the right time, I will send these four people to follow and take care of you, you can go boldly, and I will have a heavy reward when the day of the great success!" After speaking, he greeted, and a Hu soldier put in a Zhu plate, and there were five pills in the plate.

The four people next to Tuoba Xiong each took one, put it in their mouths, and swallowed it with their heads up. Hu Bing came to Liu Qiang with Zhu Pan in his hand, and Liu Qiang knew that this last pill must have been prepared for himself. As a last resort, Liu Qiang also followed the example of the other four and swallowed the pill.

Tuoba Xiong said: "This pill has the miraculous effect of enhancing courage, facing the enemy, taking a pill, ordinary soldiers can be ten, but this pill is extremely strong, no more than one month at the latest, if you don't take the antidote, you will definitely die of ulceration of viscera." ”

The four people around Tuoba Xiong said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, your subordinates swear allegiance to the death!"

Liu Qiang was taken aback, he was still thinking about waiting for an opportunity to escape after entering the city, but now after taking this pill, if he wants to live, he can only act according to Tuoba Xiong's orders, and it is absolutely impossible to escape.

Liu Qiang was very desperate in his heart, but he could only echo others: "My subordinates swear allegiance to the death."

Liu Qiang came back to explain the situation to Tuoba Rong, and then followed the other four people to the west gate of Red Dragon Fort. Liu Qiang was worried in his heart, not only afraid of dying in the chaos, but also afraid that Hu soldiers would break through the Red Dragon Fort.

Coming to the city gate, the four big men signaled Liu Qiang to shout. Liu Qiang took out a letter written by Zhao Wanming to his father, and informed the castle on the castle tower of his intentions. Bao Ding didn't dare to slack off, put down a basket, took the letter away, and hurriedly sent it to the castle owner Zhao Tianyi.

Lord Zhao Bao was overjoyed when he saw the letter, knowing that it was his daughter's handwriting, and ordered the messenger to come to the Shuaifu to meet. Lord Zhao Bao was excited, since his daughter disappeared, he was unwilling to eat, unable to sleep at night, his daughter is the pearl of his palm, but also his left and right arms; now that he suddenly has his daughter's whereabouts, he is really happy to fall from the sky, and the fatigue of resisting the siege of the Tuoba Department for more than a month has disappeared in an instant; he wants to carefully ask the messenger's daughter about the current situation; the story of Tielan Mountain's killing of Hu Zhai, Zhao Bao Lord has also heard people talk about it many times, and he also had the idea of jointly killing Hu Zhai against Hu people, and he never imagined that his daughter was killed by Hu Zhai and robbed by mistake, thank God, it is good that she did not fall into the hands of Hu people。

Besides, Liu Qiang and the others waited for about half an hour, and in the dull squeak, the city gate opened a crack, and a burgherd motioned for Liu Qiang and the other five people to enter.

As soon as the four men entered the gate, they cut down several forts at the gate, then opened the gate and lit the torches in their hands. In an instant, the shouts of killing outside the city gate shook the sky, and Hu soldiers rushed to the city gate like a tide.

It turned out that taking advantage of the night, Tuoba Xiong had already ambushed Hu Bing around the West City Gate, and only waited for Liu Qiang and others to open the city gate, and then fought hard into the city. The burghers guarding the gates knew that they had been deceived, and it was too late to close the gates. These four big men are really brave and abnormal, and they are not afraid to fight dozens of fortresses guarding the city gates.

In the blink of an eye, the Hu soldiers had poured into the city, set fire on the spot, and the forts defending the city and the Hu soldiers fought together, shouting and killing to the sky.
