Chapter 293: The Enemy
Lu Jin talked about the enemy, but Wan Yanxi looked sad: "To be honest, I don't know."
"Ah, I don't know how you can get revenge? Far away, are we going to make a trip for nothing?" Lu Jin was surprised.
Wan Yanxi said softly, "Although I don't know now, it just takes time, and I will definitely be able to find out."
"The current Shan Yu turned out to be King Zuo Xian, my father served as the official position of Zuo Da under him, Lao Shan Yu died of illness, many princes met each other, my father led the men and horses to charge, and made great contributions to King Zuo Xian and finally became Shan Yu. One day, my father came back and suddenly asked my mother to take me to the country of Silang to take refuge, saying that someone was slandering Shan Yu in front of him, slandering him for collaborating with the enemy and treason." Wan Yanxi was still angry when she thought of this.
Lu Jin nodded: "That's easy to do, whoever framed him will go to him now."
"But I was too young to ask who it was, and my dad didn't tell me his name. That day in Shan Yu's camp, I only heard Captain Zuo trying to persuade Shan Yu to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill him with me. Remembering my father's deeds, and taking pity on me for being blind, he gave me twenty sheep and ordered me to be sent to a remote pasture to fend for myself. After a while, two people secretly came to kill me, and they were so careless that I ended up killing them. It's a pity that I didn't have the experience at that time, and I didn't ask who was behind the scenes, which is the most regrettable." Wan Yanxi sighed.
Lu Jin clapped his hands and said, "That's easy, I'll go to Captain Zuo's mansion at night to find out the news, I really can't kidnap him, and I will hand it over to you for interrogation."
Wan Yanxi shook his head and said, "It's hard to find, there is no war, and all the people and horses in Beihu live in pursuit of water and grass, and there is no fixed place to live. In addition, my sister doesn't know our Beihu language, so it's a problem to find that I can't understand it."
"Okay, I've been studying hard these days, and I'm trying to learn how to speak as soon as possible." Lu Jin felt that Wan Yanxi made sense.
There was an inexplicable vibration on the ground, and Lu Jin was scared, "What's the matter, is the ground going to collapse?"
Wan Yanxi smiled: "Sister, don't panic, this is just the movement of many war horses coming in formation, I followed my father on the expedition when I was a child, and I felt such a shock once."
She suddenly wondered, "No, there is no war now, how can there be so many cavalry in the royal court, let's go out and have a look."
Lu Jin took Yan Xi's hand, and the two walked out of the tent side by side to the fence of the inn.
The cavalry came from far and near, countless horses galloped on the meadow, the sound was deafening, the voices of the people next to them were muffled, and only the neighing of horses was heard.
It took a long stick of incense for a large group of people to drive past the inn.
Wan Yanxi asked the man next to him, "May I ask the eldest brother, who are we going to fight with in Beihu?"
"Don't you know? In order to help the Syllenoid Kingdom, one of the four great warriors, Qiyan Jida and his elite cavalry, died there. They and the Dawu Dynasty secretly joined forces, and their methods were really despicable. Knowing that he was at a loss, in addition to compensating a large amount of money, the Xileng Kingdom also gave us a good pasture for Beihu to use. Our envoys went to the Dawu Dynasty to ask for compensation, but not only did they not give it, but they also wounded our envoys, and they were only furious, so they sent King Zuo Xian to lead a large army to ask for compensation." The man was indignant.
They all spoke in the Beihu language, and the speed of speech was fast, and Lu Jin didn't understand it at all.
"Thank you, big brother." Wanyan Xi pulled Lu Jin back to the tent and told her what he had heard.
Lu Jin didn't understand: "Didn't King Zuo Xian become Shan Yu, why did there be another King Zuo Xian?"
"This is normal, just like a gang leader in a sect dies of illness, and after the deputy gang leader is promoted to the gang leader, there must be someone who takes over as the deputy gang leader." Wan Yanxi explained.
Lu Jin suddenly realized, "I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of this."
Wan Yanxi introduced: "King Zuo Xian is usually Shan Yu's closest prince and his successor, so this expedition is enough to show how much Shan Yu attaches great importance to it."
"What shall we do, shall we follow them?" Lu Jin asked.
Wan Yanxi thought for a while: "Don't worry, we will be found if we follow too closely, and it's not too late to wait a few days before leaving." My father said that he would go south out of the prairie
It is a desert where there is no grass, and the cavalry will definitely go around to the east, only there is grass for horses to eat along the way, which is the real station of King Zuoxian. My sister has been learning Northern Hu with me for the past few days, and by the way, I'll ask for more news."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." I am not familiar with life here, and Lu Jin listened to Yan Xi's arrangement.
The two rested for a while, drank some water, and walked hand in hand towards the center of the royal court.
Because it is a summer camp, there are tents of different sizes everywhere, and the figures with heads and faces are fenced off a large area, and the ordinary people have enough for one tent to use by themselves, and the so-called streets and alleys are the passages between the tents.
Wan Yanxi said that due to the differences in the location, amount and time of precipitation every year, the summer camp is not fixed, and where the water and grass are abundant, you can choose where.
In the center of the royal court is Shan Yu's station, in addition to many tall and exquisite tents, there are also heavy guards on the periphery, and ordinary people cannot get close.
With Shan Yu as the center of the station, Wan Yanxi pulled Lu Jin to detour in the southeast direction: "Sister, pay attention, there should be a circled station nearby, I don't know if you have seen it."
Looking ahead, in the distance of many individual tents, Lu Jin really found a camp fenced with guardrails, and several tents in it were more gorgeous than ordinary people's, which should be the mansions of the eunuchs.
After Lu Jin told Yan Xi, she nodded and said, "According to the rules I knew before, that is the camp of Hou Helan Badu, the Left Bone Capital. The left and right bones are both directly helping Shan Yu to deal with government affairs, Helan Badu and my father had a good relationship back then, he should know some truths, and try his luck in the evening."
When night fell, the two infiltrated the camp they had scouted during the day, and the knife-wielding guards at the door were unaware.
A middle-aged man in a tent was sitting on the carpet, flipping through the papers on the desk, feeling the wind blowing in the tent, he looked up, and at some point two women stood in front of him.
The man was shocked, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but the scimitar in Lu Jin's hand had already reached his neck: "Be honest, don't move."
Lu Jin spoke the language of the Dawu Dynasty, the man was ignorant, and he was stunned, and Wan Yan Xi next to him said softly in Northern Nonsense: "Uncle Badu, I am Wan Yan Xi, do you still know me?"
Helan Badu stared at Wan Yan Xi, and he finally recognized it under the flickering candlelight, and said excitedly: "It's really Wan Yan Xi's niece, I have looked for you many times but I haven't found it, how have you survived all these years?"
Wan Yanxi didn't answer, and asked directly, "I just want to know, who framed my father?"
Helan Badu looked at the scimitar in Lu Jin's hand, a little scared.
"Sister, you let him go first." Wan Yanxi said softly.
Lu Jin obediently took two steps back.
Helan Badu let out a sigh of relief, stared at Wan Yanxi with relief, and said, "What should come will come after all, and the person who framed your father is actually me."
