When I got out of Weiyang Palace, I found that in addition to Yan Qixing, there were also Wei Weifei General Li Guang. Li Guang said with a smile: "Your Majesty entrusted me with a cavalry general, and I went to Yunzhong to take up my post today, and I happened to be traveling with the two adults. ”

Needless to say, this must have been the emperor's idea, and let me directly set off from the Yang Palace, which was clearly misleading. No, even Li Guang, who has always been rough-branched, smiled so ambiguously.

Yan Qixing stood far away, with an indifferent look on his face. Alas, I really had no reason to argue, so I had to sigh and get in the car.

In order to ensure that military secrets are not leaked, the production and manufacture of Takahashi saddle stirrups and related weapons have been secretly carried out at the place designated by the imperial court, and the emperor has ordered that before the official declaration of war on the Xiongnu, who dares to leak military secrets will be punished for the crime of the nine clans.

In view of this, more than 100 members of the envoy still used old riding equipment, plus carried a large number of rice polishing wine and various gifts, and the whole team traveled slowly, and the three-day journey took five days to reach the Han and Xiongnu borders. (The nearest distance between the Xiongnu land and Chang'an is 700 miles, and it can be reached by light riding for one day and one night)

When we arrived in the clouds, after a short rest, General Li Guang sent us out of the country, and then said goodbye to the two of them.

When I entered the boundary of the royal court, it was a sunny noon (now in Inner Mongolia), I jumped out of the chariot, and as far as the eye could see, it was an endless prairie, extending to the reckless mountains at the end of the horizon, at the intersection of heaven and earth, the blue and green colors were clearly bounded, and people seemed more and more small and humble between the empty heaven and earth. The fresh wind blows in your face, with the scent of grass, and you want to smell it. So I couldn't help but ask someone to lead the horse, ride it up and gallop indulging, sit on the horse's back, stretch my arms, stretch my muscles and bones, sweep away the fatigue and fatigue of the journey, and the whole person was refreshed.

In the distance, there are shepherds grazing herds of cattle and sheep, occasionally there is a rough singing, although I can't understand what is singing, but the heroic spirit is moving, causing me to shout a few loudly: "Elechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields, the sky is firm, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." ”

Perhaps it is precisely because the grassland is so vast that it can no longer accommodate them, and their hearts are spreading to the farther and wider world?

After galloping for a moment again, I saw from afar that Yan Qixing also got out of the car and looked at me, so he galloped to him, jumped off the horse and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Yan, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your intercession in front of Your Majesty, how could I have seen such a wonderful grassland scenery?

Yan Qixing said lightly: "No matter how good the grassland is, it can't compare to the deep ponds of the high city and fertile fields of my Han Dynasty. ”

The smile on my face suddenly froze, this guy dared to love me.

Yan Qixing also said: "Although the Han and the Huns maintain a superficial harmonious relationship by marriage, the ambition of the Huns and the wolves has always been eyeing our Han. ”

"Got it. I glared at him in displeasure.

Yan Qixing turned around and wanted to get into the car, but turned back to speak: "Lord Liu, do you know why Your Majesty allowed you to send an envoy to the Xiongnu?" Because this official has made a heavy oath in front of His Majesty, if he can't take Lord Liu back to Dahan safely, Yan Qixing will meet him. ”

I guessed that Yan Qixing must have played a role when he came out this time, but I didn't expect him to guarantee with his life. This person's actions are really unexpected.

put away his playfulness and obediently got back into the carriage, thinking that his safety was tied to Yan Qixing's life, so it was better to be cautious. After walking for half a day, I was more than 20 miles away from the court of the Huns. (The Xiongnu political subordinates are slightly divided into three parts: the central is Shan Yuting, the east is the Zuoxian Royal Court, and the west is the Right Xianwang Court.) Shan Yuting and the left and right virtuous kings have their own share. The Xiongnu were nomadic military slave empires. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the people of the Han Dynasty have been slaves and maids, nearly one million. Its military power Xiongnu Zuowang lived in the east, east of Zhishang (now Huairou, Hebei), and received the raccoon dog and North Korea. The right king lives in the west, west of Zhishang County (Yongshi, Shaanxi), and connects with Diqiang. And Shan Yu Wang Ting is in the Zhidai (now Datong, Shanxi) and Yunzhong (Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia). The central royal court of the Xiongnu was not necessarily fixed, it could be moved at any time due to strategic needs, and the royal court was located alone. ）

I was enjoying the grassland scenery through the car window, and saw a team of Huns galloping far away. Dismounted in front of the envoys, led by the soldiers to Yan Qixing's chariot, and then saw Yan Qixing step down of the chariot, followed by a noblely dressed young man, with the etiquette of the Huns and then embraced, the young man had a happy face, Yan Qixing also showed a rare smile, obviously the two have known each other, and have a great relationship.

The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, not yet fully grown, with a large, round head, a broad face, high cheekbones, a wide nose, long earlobes with holes, and an earring. The rest of the head is shaved except for a strand of hair on the top of the head. Thick eyebrows, almond eyes, and a bright gaze. Dressed in an ankle-length, loose brocade robe with slits on both sides, a belt tied around his waist and inlaid with precious stones, the ends of the belt hung down at the front, the sleeves were tightened at the wrists, a sword under the ribs, and short leather boots with thin golden soles.

I guess he should be the youngest son of the military minister Shan Yu, the prince Yu Dan born to Princess Nangong. I was searching for information about Yu Dan in the memory bank, and a soldier called me outside: "The Huns are coming, please meet me." ”

I slowly lifted the curtain and got out of the car, Shi Shiran walked over, saw the young prince's sunny smiling face, and sighed in my heart: If he inherits the throne of Shan Yu, I don't know if the history of the Han-Hungarian Hundred Years War will be rewritten.

The two men looked at me from far and far with four eyes, and there was a righteous envoy here, so naturally I didn't have the right to show my face, so I bowed down and saluted in a proper manner: "Xiaguan Liu Dan has seen Lord Yan." ”

Yan Qixing said: "Lord Liu, this is the beloved son of the military minister Shan Yu, the prince Yu Shan, His Royal Highness's mother, is the princess of Nangong." ”

I immediately showed respect, bowed to Yu Shan, and everything was according to etiquette, and I never said much. Yan Qixing looked at me, seemingly satisfied with my performance.

Yu looked at me with a one-sided gaze and said in surprise: "Xiao Wang has grown so big, and he has never seen a man as beautiful as Lord Liu, but it is also the magic of God's creation." ”

Abandon the car and change the horse, the three of us drove side by side, the vast grassland, in the gentle breeze, Prince Yu Shan talked about the old things of Yan Qixing to envoy the Huns seven years ago, when he was still a child, Yu Dan, was already a little hero galloping on a horse, once because of the horse in distress, fortunately Yan Qixing came to the rescue, only to save a small life, and the friendship between the two of them was formed from that time.

Between the conversations, I found that Yu Shan seemed to admire Yan Qixing very much, especially when it came to swordsmanship, he was even more respectful, and said that he must ask him for advice this time.

Between the words, the royal court of the Huns was in front, and from a distance, I saw all kinds of flags painted with strange totems fluttering in the wind, accompanied by the sound of whining horns, desolate and far-reaching. Endless layers of felt tents appear on the horizon, showing the majesty and ruggedness of the people outside the Cypriots. Closer, you can see the Huns old people, children, women, shuttling between large and small tents, laughing, shouting, echoing in the quiet world. What was originally a vivid picture is destroyed by the cheers of the occasional galloping warriors, and the eyes penetrate the beautiful surface to see the essence of its interior.

This is a nation that worships heroes, and it is a nation that uses plunder, robbery, and encroachment as its means of living. There is no propriety, no propriety, no propriety, the wife of the father, the brother and the son are legally allowed to share it after his death, the honorable position can be taken by force and courage and is never regarded as rebellion, the young warrior is revered and the gray-haired old man is despised by the people, and from the youngest child onwards, atrocities, force, aggression, and looting become a correct and unshakable idea that permeates the soul of man, and is measured only by its value, profit, and social function.

However, such a nation must also have its own "righteousness" and its own "feelings", and like this unique nation, its traditions and culture, which are not cultural cultures, are also unique.

Passing through the camp and passing through the tents, along the way, the people saluted us one after another, and I was not arrogant enough to think that they were showing respect to us, and the one they respected was naturally the prince of the Great Huns.

The central big tent of Shan Yu is located in the middle of the royal court, the big tent is located on a very high terrain, occupies a vast area, is luxuriously decorated, and is proudly independent between the vast earth and the sky, and the big flags around it are towering, and the wind blows the "hunting" sound, and the goshawk that rushes to the big tent keeps hovering low above the big tent, and makes a desolate chirping sound that adds a majestic momentum to the royal court.

The closer we got to the big tent, the more short and fierce horses and warriors we saw, and when the horn sounded, four teams of heavily armed Hun iron horsemen appeared in front of us, divided into two columns on the left and right, lined up vertically, all with blazing eyes, looking at our direction in unison. With Prince Yu Dan, Yan Qixing and I arrived in front of them with the team, thinking about whether the next step would be to show the sword array to give us a dismount, these short but fierce and bloodthirsty men really pulled out the scimitars at their waists and pointed at us with a "brush".

Cut, it's really naïve! Yan Qixing and I looked at each other, calmly accepting this difficult and elegant meeting gift. Under the demonstrative horn roar and the scimitar that flashed with cold light, with a message, entered the large tent of the military minister Shan Yu.

The big tent is naturally not comparable to the dignity and majesty of Weiyang Palace, but it still feels unpleasant like low pressure, and the awe-inspiring silence and murderous aura are entangled together, which makes people feel daunted.

On either side sat more than a dozen Xiongnu kings and nobles, all of whom were hostile and contemptuous when they saw us entering. In the end, it is a simple and rough nation, and it never hides its emotions, which has to go to the Han Dynasty to play politics and finish one by one.

However, the simpler the martial arts moves, the stronger the attack power, and the simpler the political power, the greater the political power? Otherwise, why has the Han Dynasty always been the inferior in the Han-Hungarian confrontation?

Except for the cranky thoughts in my heart, I looked determined, don't look at the battle outside just now, with Yan Qixing's backer, there is no drama to sing in this meeting.

The man sitting on the ground in the middle of the house had a strange hat on his head, a few pheasants and pheasants stuck in the hat, and a brocade robe with arrow sleeves, and a snow-white mink fur around his shoulders and neck, but his hair was gray, his eyelids drooped, and his face was wrinkled with wind and frost, and no matter how powerful the decoration was, he could not hide his weak old state. This person is none other than the military minister Shan Yu.

Yan Qixing was in front of me and behind, and he did not squint and stepped forward to salute Shan Yu according to diplomatic etiquette and handed over his credentials. The content of the letter is very brief, and it is nothing more than a declaration of comfort to friendly countries and the maintenance of harmony. And presented the gifts given by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, including thousands of fine grains, thousands of fine wines, and gifts such as jewelry and jade given to Princess Nangong.

Don't look at the other people's faces, but because Yan Qixing once saved the prince, the military ministers were very polite between their words.

At the moment when Yan Qixing handed over his credentials, I quietly inspected the princes, nobles, relatives, and other people around me, and what particularly caught my attention was a man sitting next to the military minister Shan Yu, an old man with a white face and no sinister eyes. When I looked at him, he also looked up at me, and as soon as his eyes met, he immediately smiled strangely at me.

This man is ...... I thought about it for a moment and guessed who he was.

I heard the military minister Shan Yu suddenly let out a few laughs and said, "Your emperor is too generous, go back and convey this Da Shan Yu's greetings to the Han Emperor for me." Lord Yan, you are the second time to come to my Huns, a few years ago you saved my Wang'er's life, this Shan Yu still remembers, tonight Ben Shan Yu will set up a banquet to entertain your envoys. Hey, and that pretty Han envoy who looks like a girl, you also participate. ”

The words made everyone laugh, and their eyes were on me, and their expressions were extremely mocking. I swept around calmly, and deliberately said in Chinese with a different tone: "Thank you Da Dan Yu for the compliment." ”

A nobleman laughed and said, "You said that Da Dan is praising you......?"

When he said this, the others laughed even louder. I pouted my lips indifferently and continued to speak nonsense in "blunt" Chinese: "In my hometown, the more beautiful a boy is like a girl, the more popular he is, and everyone will compete to give him the best things, teach him the best knowledge, and pass on the best swordsmanship.

This kind of strange thing is pure fabrication, and they naturally have never heard of it, so Yu Shan asked curiously: "Then, what about ugly men?"

I sneered, "Those short and ugly men are only slaves for beautiful boys and children, and they are still the lowliest slaves. ”

For example, you short and ugly Huns, especially the Huns who mock the Chief.

Looking at those Xiongnu nobles again, those who don't understand laugh, those who understand are about to have a seizure, the military minister Shan Yu The white-faced bearded man next to him stared at me coldly, and asked in a strange manner: "Where in the territory of the Han Dynasty have I never been, and what the Han envoy said, why have I never heard of it?"

I turned to him with a smile and said, "I didn't say I was from the Han Dynasty. ”

Yan Qixing took over and said: "Lord Bank of China doesn't know, Lord Liu originally lived in the distant Western Regions, because of the long-term admiration of the culture and fashion of the Han Dynasty, he came from thousands of miles away, and the Son of Han Tianzi felt his sincerity and gave him an official position to keep by his side. ”

This person, sure enough, was Emperor Wen who married the Xiongnu with the lord of the clan, and then surrendered to the enemy.

I took the opportunity to say: "Yes, yes, the Han Dynasty has a rich culture and a vast doctrine, and I really admire it very much." The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is even more wise and martial arts, and he admires it so much that he is willing to stay in the Han Dynasty as a minister. ”

The Bank of China said that this old fox refused to let me go, and deliberately made it bad and said: "Oh, the Son of Han Heaven is wise and martial arts, I don't know what about the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu, who is greater than us?"

The eyes of the crowd were all cast on me to see how I responded. Yan Qixing's face was calm, and he seemed to have confidence in me.

I blinked, looked at them with a grin, and finally shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands out and said, "I don't know." ”

The Bank of China said "hum" and said angrily: "What did you say?"

I pretended to be innocent: "I really don't know? I have been with the emperor of the Han Dynasty for more than three years, and I have experienced many things, only to find out that he is a good emperor who is difficult to find in the sky and difficult to find in the ground. ”

The more I speak that weird Chinese, the more slippery I become, and I guess most people believe that I am not Han. The Bank of China said that when he heard me say this, he was really fooled and asked, "The Han envoy is talking about it, what is my great name? Is it a good name or a bad name?"

Good name, if your old man has a good name, he will ensure that Zhang Jun is angry with Qin Hui.

I pretended to frown and ponder, and only said after a while: "I have only been in Dahan for a short time, and some folk sayings are still incomprehensible for a while. When they talked about the Bank of China, they all said that you are the originator of the traitor and a perverted eunuch? What is the meaning of this traitor? What does perverted mean? What does this eunuch mean? I asked them, but no one explained to me, and they were depressed and depressed. Do you know what that means, my lord?"

It is estimated that none of the people present know what perverted means, but fools can hear that it is definitely not a good word, as for the originator of the traitor and the meaning of eunuchs, everyone knows it. Some people (probably people who usually say discord with the BOC) couldn't help but laugh first, and the BOC said that their faces were even whiter and blue.

Yan Qixing came out at the right time to play a round: "Lord Liu has a naïve temperament, does not know the world's affairs, and is only rough about the language of the Han Dynasty. ”

I continued to pretend to be garlic: "Lord Yan, did I say the wrong thing again?"

The military minister looked at me scrutinically, grinned and concluded, "Lord Yan, this deputy envoy of yours is really an interesting person. ”

The Bank of China said that the old fox had suffered a dumb loss, and glared at me angrily, but he was helpless. If he, a "generous and benevolent" old man, can't get along with a kid who "doesn't know the world" in public, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth?

But today, this beam is over. In fact, even if there is no such thing, I will not let Yan Qixing go, as long as he is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, he will not make people happy.

Leaving the central tent, I followed Yan Qixing, and under the guidance of the waiter, I went to Princess Nangong.

Yan Qixing whispered to me: "Don't take advantage of your tongue again, take back the jade ring and retreat, which is the purpose of our trip." ”

"Yes. "He has a point, and I don't contradict him.

But in addition to getting the Hetian Yuhuan back, I have to do one more thing.

According to history, this person did not want to marry with the princess to the bitter cold land of the Xiongnu, and pleaded with Emperor Wen, and even threatened that if he was forced to marry, he would definitely devote his life to the death of the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Wen thought that he was talking nonsense casually, and did not take it seriously, because he was a Yan person, and he had an understanding of the situation of the Xiongnu, and finally forced him to be sent to the Huns.

Emperor Wen made a big mistake, the so-called rather offend the gentleman than the villain, especially the talented villain as the Bank of China. If he stayed in the Han Dynasty back then, he might have become a famous eunuch for a generation with his ability, but he also sent such a person to the enemy camp.

After arriving in the Xiongnu, he really fulfilled his oath, committed himself to the enemy, and made great efforts to ensure that the Xiongnu were not assimilated by the Han in terms of food, clothing, and traditional customs. He also taught the Han Dynasty's calendar and counting methods to the Huns, and at the same time gave advice to the old Shangdan Yu at that time to deal with the Han Dynasty, which won the trust of the old Shangdan Yu.

After the death of Lao Shangdan, he served the military minister Shan Yu again as "the minister of the orphan", because he spared no effort to protect the interests of the Huns, and was also relied on by the military minister Shan Yu. In the strategy and tactics of the Xiongnu against the Han, he made great contributions.

In fact, I can also understand him, the mutilation of the body, especially the man-made mutilation under the feudal system, is very easy to lead to the mutilation of the soul, plus a good end of a Han was forced to come to this bitter cold place in the north of the desert, and it is reasonable to have hatred for the Han Dynasty.

Originally, he was his traitor, betrayed his country, and turned him upside down, and it had nothing to do with me at all. But he shouldn't have been on his deathbed, he still calculated our Xiao Huo, and even offered a plan to the later Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu, throwing the cattle and sheep suffering from the plague into the Jiuquan water, and our Xiao Huo died young, which is estimated to have something to do with drinking the water infected with the plague.

Regardless of whether this record is straight or false, any hidden danger that endangers my beloved disciple Xiao Huo must be removed, and it may change history because of this, and it is unknown how long our Xiao Huo will live a hundred years.

I have already broken the killing ring, and if I kill a traitor who everyone in the country says can be killed, God should not blame me. (Therefore, when it comes to killing people, there are one and two, and it will slowly form a habit.) ）

Despite my concerns, I secretly made up my mind: before leaving the Huns, I will kill the Bank of China!
