Chapter 503

The head of the contemporary Ji family of Ji Hongwu, if the Zhou Dynasty did not die without the death of the other Qin people, he Ji Hongwu would be the king of Zhou.

It's a pity that there was no if, the Zhou royal family perished, and Zhou Hongwu's father, the last king of Zhou, also died the year after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, and even after his death, he didn't even have a nickname.

However, if the Zhou royal family is gone, it will be gone, at least there is still a family surnamed Ji.

As the so-called broken ship and three thousand nails, although the Zhou Dynasty is gone, the family surnamed Ji still lives well in Luoyang, as long as it does not go too far, the Ji family is still the king of Luoyang, the uncrowned king.

Not long ago, the Ji family took a fancy to a businessman's business and wanted to take it for themselves. If it hadn't been for the intervention of Sikong Mengyi, it would have been successful.

It didn't work out, but so what? Meng Yi didn't take the Ji family yet? It's just a fine of some money, and it's just painless for the Ji family.

Today, it is said that the crown prince of Great Qin is here, according to custom. The crown prince must have a banquet for himself, and he is also the head of the Ji family, representing the former Zhou royal family.

Ji Hongwu asked people to prepare a gift for the crown prince Qin Xi early, and he even bathed and changed his clothes and was ready.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not wait for the prince's people to invite him.

"Father, I haven't heard that the prince has a perverse personality and often has different ideas from ordinary people, so I'm afraid I won't send someone here today." Ji Hongwu's son Ji Xin arched his hand and said.

Ji Hongwu frowned and said, "You go out to see if there is really no one coming." ”

"No."

At this moment, the butler hurriedly walked in and said, "The head of the family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to send a 'gift'. ”

"What is it? Pick it up. Ji Hongwu said.

The butler stepped aside and greeted the servant, who immediately walked in with a chopping board, and there was a stinky dead fish on the board.

"What does that mean!" Ji Xin couldn't stand the smell and hurriedly covered his nose.

Ji Hongwu's face was a little bad, he stood up, stretched out his hand to take the chopping board and the dead fish, and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really different from ordinary people." ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that, prince?" Ji Xin asked.

Ji Hongwu sighed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reminding us that the Ji family is just fish and meat on this chopping board, and the prince has a knife in his hand." ”

"The prince is going to demonstrate to our Ji family!" Ji Xin said angrily.

"Demonstrations?" Ji Hongwu smiled helplessly: "Since more than a hundred years ago, we don't need people to demonstrate, this is a warning and an ultimatum." ”

Ji Xin put the cutting board and fish on the coffee table, then sat next to him and said, "It seems that this prince can't tolerate sand in his eyes than the current emperor." ”

"After passing the order, all the Ji family members will give me rules in the future and be low-key. Otherwise, if something happens, I don't blame the head of the family for expelling him from the Ji family! ”

"Dad, is this necessary? We are also the Zhou royal family, don't you give us any face when he Qin Xi? Ji Xin asked, clenching his fists.

"Humph! When the Zhou royal family was still there, they didn't give us face, and now that the Zhou royal family is gone, what face do you want to get! Idiot! Ji Hongwu ruthlessly scolded his stupid son.

Ji Hongwu looked at the fish on the chopping board and sighed deeply.

······

In the grassland, a breeze is blowing, and it is really like the wind blowing the grass to see the cattle and sheep.

There was a team of several hundred people, walking on horseback on the grassland, but it looked full of despair and gloom.

Haji roamed the steppe on horseback with only a few hundred men.

Although Haji escaped in that battle, Maudun and Antulu obviously did not want to leave a disaster, and led the troops to chase and kill all the way, completely cutting down the Haji tribe, and even the loyal small tribes under Haji were slaughtered by Maudun and Antulu.

Now that Haji's tribe has fallen, the people who follow him have died and surrendered, and now only these few hundred people are left.

Today, these hundreds of people are in the steppe, and not even a small tribe can be formed.

Haji grabbed the horse's rope and stopped, and the people behind him also stopped.

Haji turned his head and took a look, only to see that these hundreds of people were all depressed, completely lost their will to fight, and if this continued, it was estimated that they would not have to wait for Mao Dun to chase after them, and they would have been wiped out.

Thinking of this, Haji felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, one of his subordinates reacted in time and reached out to catch Haji.

"Chief! You okay! The subordinate asked anxiously.

Haji lowered his head and said, "Chief! What a chieftain am I! The tribe is gone! Now it's just us! ”

"Chief! Let's go to the Qin people! Kill back and get revenge! The man said.

"Defect to the Qin people! If we do, we won't be able to gain a foothold on the steppe! Haji said bitterly.

"Chief! But even if we don't take refuge in the Qin people, the grassland will already regard us as Qin people, and the leader will have no choice. ”

"Yes, Chief! If the tribe is broken, the people in the tribe will not be spared, and we will kill them to take revenge! ”

"Chief! Only the Qin people can help me buy revenge! Chieftain! ”

"Chief! Let's decide! ”

Haji looked at his subordinates and asked him to join the Qin people one by one, and the persistence in his heart was also destroyed little by little.

"Chief! Don't hesitate, if you hesitate any longer, there will be no time. His men persuaded one after another.

At this time, the subordinate who was on the slope made a gesture, meaning that there was a situation.

Haji hurriedly turned over and dismounted, then ran up the slope, and soon lay down on the slope to observe.

"Chief! It's the scout of the Qin army! ”

Haji frowned and said, "If we catch these Qin army scouts, or kill them, can we prove our innocence?" ”

But his subordinates said, "Chief! Our brothers have all been killed, what's the use of proving innocence, can those brothers of our tribe still come back to life! ”

"Leader, with so many Qin troops, Mao Dun won't believe it, and there are just a few of us, Mao Dun won't let us go."

"Chief, if you don't want to join the Qin army, then you can go west, maybe there is still a way to live."

"What about you!?"

"We want to take refuge in the Qin army! Avenge your brothers! The subordinate said firmly.

Haji glanced at his men and lay helplessly on the grass.

His men sat silently by the side, waiting for Maudun to make his final decision.

Finally, Mao Dun sat up, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said, "Okay! Go find Qin Jun! We're going to kill back! Avenge your dead brother! Cut off Maudon's head and use it as a wine glass! ”

"Kill back! Kill back! "The people under him were all excited.

"Get on the horse! Go find the Qin army camp! Haji got on his horse and shouted.

Since then, the few hundred remaining members of the Haji tribe have become the first batch of Huns to defect to the Qin army.
