Hu Chuquan abided by the agreement and wrote a letter of state with his own hands, to the effect that the Xiongnu would always be a vassal to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, pay a certain amount of taxes every year, and the best horses of the Xiongnu. It was agreed that there would be no more fighting between the two sides for twenty years.

With the national letter in my arms, I thought that this time was finally a complete merit and a mission that did not disgrace. In the big tent of the barracks, all the kings were also very happy, wishing the two countries peace and blessings, and congratulated Huchuquan and me one after another.

Hu Chuquan laughed and said: "This time the two countries negotiated peace, and the Duan Dahu brothers made great contributions. If he hadn't helped out for righteousness, fought the black bear, and died in Fuluo, I am afraid that the Xiongnu would have rarely had today's peaceful situation. This king is a reluctant request, I don't know if Brother Duan can agree?"

I bowed my hand and said, "Brother Hu, you're polite, the two of us have experienced life and death together, and it's okay to say that there is something wrong." ”

Hu Chuquan walked over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "This journey is three thousand miles, if it weren't for Brother Duan's desperate protection, I would have died a long time ago." Taking advantage of today's friendship between the two countries, I am willing to marry Brother Duan as brothers with different surnames, I don't know if it is possible?"

Hu Chuquan is a man, and he has the righteousness of the country in his heart, and a dignified Hun wants to be a brother with me, so I naturally have no objection. I was overjoyed and said, "Everything is arranged by my brother!"

The crowd was delighted. Hu Chuquan commanded loudly: "Serve the wine!"

At one time, the maidservants served more than a dozen bowls of spirits, and the camp tent was filled with the aroma of wine. Hu Chuquan said: "According to the rules of my Huns, you need to drip blood into the bowl, and the blood is an alliance, and only after drinking this bowl of wine can you be considered a real brother." ”

He pulled out his golden knife, slashed his middle finger, and dripped blood into the bowl one by one. I followed his example and poured blood into the cup. I both raised the bowl at the same time, and I shouted:

"Big brother!"

"Virtuous brother!"

The two of them drank it all.

All the kings also drank this bowl of blood wine, which was a testimony to the righteousness of the two of us. We threw the bowl on the ground, and the crowd laughed.

Suddenly, the guards came to report: "Xianbei can ask for a meeting with Kebi." ”

Hu Chuquan said, "Please." ”

Ke Bineng said in the account: "Hu Chu Quan Shan Yu, this is the case, I specially came to resign to you." ”

Hu Chuquan said: "This time the matter of the Huns, thanks to the help of Shan Yu, I already know the affairs of the Xianbei country. Shan Yu please return to China with peace of mind, if necessary, I will Chen Bing to the east, as Shan Yu backup. Forgive that step and the root can't make any waves!"

Kebi Neng hugged his fists and said: "If this can be done, Budugen will definitely throw a mouse taboo, and he will not dare to fight again." Thank you Shan Yu!"

Hu Chuquan said: "You're welcome. I wonder when the king will get up?"

"Without further ado, let's go now. ”

"I'm waiting for a delivery. ”

Hu Chuquan and Kebineng strode out of the tent, and Qingqing sat in the carriage outside the tent. She lifted the curtain, got out of the car and threw herself into my arms. Kebineng sighed and said, "Let's go." ”

After a long time, Kebineng sighed and said, "Let's go." Hu Yanqing wiped away her tears and said, "I don't know when I will see you today." ”

I pretended to be chic and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll come to see you." When I'm done in the Central Plains, you can come and see me. ”

Qingqing said: "You will coax me." ”

My heart was still sour, and I said, "Let's go, it's a long way, and I still have to hurry." ”

At that moment, Kebineng said goodbye to Huchuquan and the kings of the Huns, got on the horse and left, and the group of people went towards Xianbei country. After all, I still remembered the day by the lake, and she played with the jade flute.

The lake and the sky are the same, there is a jade person blowing the flute, what a beautiful memory!

※※※

As soon as the Xiongnu are in trouble, I am worried about Runan City, and I don't know what happened to the three brothers of Liu Bei now. So, he also said goodbye to Huchuquan. For three days in a row, they drank with the kings in turn, but they were reluctant to let me leave so soon.

On the fourth day, it really couldn't be delayed any longer. The sky was still bright, so I instructed Xu Chu to lead the tiger and leopard to ride, go to pick up Cai Yan, and return to the Central Plains with us.

When parting, Liu Bao was reluctant to give up, and told her to "eat well, and drink milk before going to bed at night", etc., but I was also quite numb when I heard it. The little couple was reluctant to part, and it seemed that there was an endless amount of words to say at this time.

When it was finally time to say goodbye, Liu Bao gave me a look according to the Central Plains etiquette and said, "General Duan, please ask the general all the way." She is weak, please ask the general to tell her to add more clothes for me and be careful of the cold. ”

I clenched my fists and said, "King Zuoxian, please rest assured, I will definitely send my wife back to the Central Plains safely." ”

Liu Bao nodded, and stopped talking.

Cai Yan got into the carriage and closed the curtain.

I shouted: "Drive!" and no longer bid farewell to Hu Chu Quan, and all the soldiers gathered around the carriage and the gold, silver, and jewelry presented by Hu Chu Quan, and returned to the south.

However, not far from the city gate, a soldier shouted: "Look, general!"

I followed his finger and looked, but I saw the rising sun, pulling the shadow of the person slender, Hu Chuquan led the large group of men and horses, standing at the gate of the royal court, to see me off. There is a trumpet blowing on the city gate, and the ancient rhyme is desolate.

I saluted Hu Chuquan from afar and said loudly: "Brother Xie, thank the kings! Brother is gone, please come back!"

It was only a long time, but I heard a person behind me shouting: "General Duan stays!"

I reined in my horse and looked back, and a person came on a military horse, but it was Liu Bao. Liu Bao whipped the horse, and finally caught up with me, panting and said: "General Duan stayed, Cai Yan forgot to bring something with me, fortunately I found out, so I brought it to her." ”

I was also touched by his infatuation. I nunu mouthed and said, "Then you can leave it to her yourself." ”

"Good. Liu Bao was elated and walked to the side of the carriage. said: "Wen Ji, you are too careless, how did you drop this piece of fire dragon jade when you left, you are cold, it is good to wear this piece of jade!" said and took out a piece of jade from his arms, the jade was bright red, but it was very crystal clear, and it was worth a lot at a glance.

Cai Yan didn't come out to look at Liu Bao in the carriage, and said, "Lord Wang, this jade was deliberately dropped by me, and it was originally something you gave me." Now that I'm gone, I can't ask for something as precious as you. ”

Liu Bao smiled and said: "What is this? What I gave you is yours, is there a reason to take it back? You take it quickly, and I will be a gift for you." ”

After a long time, Cai Yan stretched out his slender jade hand from the carriage, took the jade pendant, and said: "In this case, Wen Ji will thank the prince! ”

Liu Bao said gently: "Don't worry, I have always been in good health." It's you, you won't be by your side in the future, but you have to take good care of yourself. ”

Cai Yan said: "Hmm. She continued: "Lord Wang, the hour is not early, you should go back early." ”

"Okay, I'll go back. Liu Bao said. But standing motionless on the ground, I knew that he wanted to see Cai Yan for the last time, but for some reason, Cai Yan was unwilling to get out of the carriage.

Liu Bao was helpless and said, "That's ...... Then I'm gone. How precious you are!" he saluted me again and said no more.

A ride towards the yellow sand finally disappeared at the end of the sea of sand. Cai Yan got out of the carriage and exclaimed heartbreakingly: "Husband!"
