Chapter 100: The Book of War
After three days, the lights in the Xijing City were colorful, and the Huns spared no effort to celebrate the 60th birthday of their king.
Xu Haifeng went around the city with the procession of sending off his relatives, and Fang Shi sent Li Ting's sedan chair into the palace. At the time of parting, although Xu Haifeng did not show any reluctance, he was still extremely worried in his heart. It's just that Jiang Kongming has repeatedly made a package ticket, and he is indeed reputable, so Xu Haifeng can only act according to the plan.
Su Chunwei, who was traveling with him, looked at Xu Haifeng with some dissatisfaction, just last night, the little princess Liu Ting summoned him and the three generals, saying that she was married to Mao Dun and had already accepted her fate. However, there are four maidservants who are like sisters who are still young, and they can't bear to spend their time together, so I ask a few to bring them back to Dahan and settle them properly.
Su Chunwei and the others looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound. They all knew that these four handmaidens were all companions, and if this matter was known, they would have to bear a lot of responsibility. will even offend Mao Dun because of this, resulting in the complete invalidity of the purpose of this peace.
The little princess Liu Ting saw that none of them agreed, and she couldn't help crying, which made people feel pitiful.
At this time, Xu Haifeng suddenly stepped forward and agreed to this, Liu Ting was overjoyed, and transferred the four of them to Xu Haifeng on the spot to become his handmaid. Su Chunwei and the others were envious, but they couldn't help but be afraid, but they didn't dare to offend these two people at the same time, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and never mention it.
seems to have let go of her thoughts, the little princess Liu Ting is calm and calm, with a demeanor of everyone, and there is no trace of joy and anger on her face, which shows her Yongrong and luxurious, peerless appearance. It was the first time Mao Dun had seen Liu Ting's face, although he was not a lustful person, and his eyes were shining.
The little princess Liu Ting returned to the palace after appearing in the hall according to the Hun etiquette, while Mao Dun accepted the congratulations of the ministers in the main hall. The ministers observed the words and knew that Mao Dun was extremely satisfied with this, and immediately congratulated them endlessly, of course, including slander and flattery. Xu Haifeng only learned from this point that the achievements of the Huns in this regard were not inferior to those of the Han court officials.
Jiang Kongming sat next to Xu Haifeng, and sneered after hearing this: "Since the Xiongnu are like this [***], it can be seen that their lives are not long. ”
Xu Haifeng glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Lord Strategist, those high-ranking officials of our Han Court are even more unbearable than them." The implication is that if their lives were short, then the Han would have perished long ago.
Glaring at him angrily, Jiang Kongming whispered: "The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, even if it is extravagant and flashy, it will not perish after all. However, the Xiongnu are located in the steppe, with many races and frequent wars. If the Huns learned the Han Dynasty, they would surely perish within a hundred years, and it would be a catastrophe for the clan. ”
Xu Haifeng heard him say so surely, but he didn't dare to refute it, and was thinking about his words. Jiang Kongming patted him on the shoulder and said, "The time has come, the lord can act according to the plan, and the students are about to retire." ”
Xu Haifeng came to his senses at this time, now is the critical moment, how can he be distracted, and hurriedly gathered his mind and said: "Don't worry, I will do it, but you don't want me to disappoint." ”
Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, have you ever been disappointed?" ”
Shaking his head happily, Xu Haifeng also smiled: "It's me who is too worried, don't leave it at that, I am here to wait for your good news." ”
Jiang Kongming nodded silently, stretched out his hand to shake Xu Haifeng, and then left the table quietly.
In the courtyard where Caesar's envoy lived in the western capital of Xijing, Grandmaster Auburn had just finished dinner and returned to his bedroom to rest.
The entire high-ranking personnel of Caesar's mission went to the Xiongnu palace to congratulate Maudun on his birthday, but Auburn was the only one who stayed behind. Only his status as a grandmaster can read and do not join in the fun. And the Huns naturally wouldn't blame for this, even if it was with the conceit of Mao Dun, they didn't want to offend a peerless master of the grandmaster level for this.
He pushed open the door and casually swept the room, suddenly noticing that something was wrong. When martial arts reach his level, the direction of his cultivation is not only limited to the strong **, but the mysterious spiritual world is equally important.
As soon as he entered the room, he noticed an unusual fluctuation in the air. If it was on an occasion where there were many people, he would definitely not be able to detect it, but at this moment, he was the only one here, so naturally he would not be able to hide his divine consciousness that had reached the subtle realm.
He closed his eyes, realized something, and as if he was being pulled by some force, he went straight to his desk, and twisted up a piece of silk cloth, on which a few large characters had been written in Caesar.
At midnight, ten miles west of the city, in front of the hunting forest, there was no sight or dispersion.
It turned out to be an invitation to war.
A smile appeared on Grandmaster Auburn's emaciated face, and after I don't know how many years, he almost forgot what it felt like to be challenged.
If it were an ordinary person, Auburn might not have paid attention to it, but this person was able to hide his divine sense and sneak into the courtyard to leave a war report without being discovered by himself, which shows that there must be something special. Such a character, how can it be easily missed.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, although the little princess Liu Ting was expressionless, her two little hands were close to her chest and abdomen, no one noticed that among her two little hands, she was tightly dragging a special wooden whistle through her clothes.
Last night, when she took over the wooden whistle from Xu Haifeng's hands, she was told that this inconspicuous little thing was the key to saving her from the palace.
Xu Haifeng's face resurfaced in her mind, last night, he gently hugged her moving body, untied her close-fitting obscene clothes, hung the gold chain connected to the wooden whistle on her neck, which was as white as snow, and then solemnly explained in her ear: "Ting'er, you have to take this wooden whistle, wait until Mao Dun retires." All the Hun attendants will leave your room, and at that moment you will immediately take out your whistle, blow it, and then close your eyes and wait, and I promise that a miracle will happen. ”
She looked at the crudely made wooden whistle in confusion, and couldn't figure out what kind of miracles could have anything to do with it.
However, Xu Haifeng told her that she must grasp the right time, because there is only one chance.
She glanced at the busy Hun maids around her and closed her eyes calmly. Ever since Xu Haifeng's miraculous consecutive victories over three first-class masters, she has been full of blind admiration for him. Since he said so, then she was naturally convinced.
On the top of the main hall, the banquet was held solemnly and grandly, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. Even if the envoys of various countries hated each other, they were all full of sweet words, and they seemed to be like brothers, and the guests and hosts were quite harmonious.
After three rounds of wine, Xu Haifeng raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Today is a good day for a single double happiness, and the end will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, pay tribute to a single in a cup, and wish a single in Shoubi Nanshan, as blessed as the East China Sea." ”
Mao Dun drank this cup with a smile on his face and said, "Then I will accept the general's words." ”
So far, Xu Haifeng's identity and status have changed drastically, especially after defeating the four masters in the gladiatorial arena, he has won everyone's admiration, even if he is a Mao Dun, he does not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
Xu Haifeng took a sip of wine, frowned slightly, opened his mouth to speak, and finally shook his head and sat back.
His pretentiousness was naturally not full of caring people, and Hami spurred and said: "If General Xu is dissatisfied, you might as well say it bluntly, our Huns are bold and hospitable, and we will definitely not let you down." ”
Xu Haifeng glanced at him, and said in his heart, don't let me down? Then I ask you for Liu Ting, I don't know if you will be satisfied with me. Of course, I thought about it in my heart, but if I said it, it would cause a monstrous disaster.
He showed an embarrassed expression, thought for a while, and sighed: "Forget it, there is nothing to do in the end." ”
This time, even Mao Dun was aroused by his curiosity and said: "General Xu has something to say, but please speak up, why bother to hide and learn from that mother-in-law's behavior." ”
Xu Haifeng raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly: "Okay, since you are only asking in motion, then the general will be blunt." The wine here is too bland, and you will be a little unaccustomed to it. ”
Hami's heart moved, and he thought that the wine he used to entertain Li Zhi was the drunken moon wine that was rare in the grassland, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Drunken moon wine? ”
Xu Haifeng slapped his thigh, with an expression of a confidant: "I didn't expect adults to know the name of this wine, and it was this wine that the last general said." If you drink too much, the rest of the wine will be a little difficult to drink. ”
"What Brother Xu said is that since I drank your drunken moon wine, Li Zhi has been slanderous."
As a clear voice came from outside, Li Zhi's tall and straight figure appeared in front of Xu Haifeng again.
Xu Haifeng had a good impression of this person, and he immediately got up to greet him and said, "Since Brother Li Zhi is here, do you still want to drink a jar?" ”
Li Zhi laughed and said, "If it weren't for that, why would I come here to look for you." Take it out quickly, you and I will conspire to get drunk. ”
"Good ......" Xu Haifeng was aroused by him, turned his head to Mao Dun and said: "Shan Yu, there are still two big carts and more than 100 jars of drunken moon wine in my camp, let me transport them all, how about everyone have a drink?" ”
The Huns had many drunkards, and this proposal was immediately embraced by everyone, and even Maudun was eager for it.
Xu Haifeng gave the order to go, and after a while, Qin Yong came to the palace with more than fifty people, each holding two large altars of fine wine. Everyone had seen Qin Yong's inhuman strange power, and they didn't dare to look at him as ordinary, and they were all polite and respectful to him.
Xu Haifeng ordered them to put the wine jar in the center of the hall, and then said to Mao Dun: "Shan Yu, you are very happy today, and you will reward me with some water bars." ”
This small request was immediately approved by Maudun, and with his permission, the fifty or so people were taken to a courtyard in the palace to eat and drink alone. Originally, the Maodun faction had special personnel to serve them, but they were all blown away by Qin Yong, and they came to the front of the hall and reported to Hami Thorn.
Hamithorn frowned and thought for a while, and ordered to keep a close watch all around, but not to approach, so as not to annoy the big monster and spoil the rare festive atmosphere of the day.
ps: New friends, this week's strong push, if you have a ticket, please hold a ticket......
