To the north of Youzhou, on the vast grassland, the grass is green, and after a shower in summer, the crystal water droplets are stained on the blades of grass, reflecting colorful light.

Beneath the knee-high grass, a hare, with grey fur was nibbling on the fat and juicy rhizomes of the grass, and the only look at its round belly was that the hare had been living happily lately. In the process of eating, it up its long ears from time to time, listens to subtle movements, and observes whether there are natural predators around it.

Suddenly, there was a slight vibration on the ground, accompanied by a rhythmic "da-da" sound. The hare immediately stopped eating, its ears were straight and motionless, it was a little nervous, and I don't know when there was a hint of murder in the originally peaceful air.

The shaking of the ground became stronger and stronger, and there were already small stones that were already shaken up, and the sound became more and more obvious, like a thunderstorm, and the hare, sensing the approaching danger, kicked its hind legs and ran away into the distance.

Looking down from the sky, a streak of ink appeared on a verdant canvas from the edge of the canvas, and then blurred like a black cloud, sweeping by, and everywhere it passed, it was a mess.

It was a cavalry of 3,000 horsemen, and the shaking of the ground and the roaring "thunder" were the result of the horse's hooves colliding with the earth as the horses ran. The knights on horseback were all dressed in leather armor, carrying short bows, and carrying a scimitar at their waists, neatly aligned, forming a wild and fierce temperament.

From the high cheekbones on the faces of these people, it can be seen that they are all Huns. The cavalry had been galloping on their horses for a long time, and the horses sitting down were panting involuntarily, and sweat was oozing from the surface of their skin.

At this time, the person at the front of the team suddenly slowed down, and when the people behind him found out, they also grabbed the reins with their legs and grabbed the reins, controlling the horse to stop. The people behind were completely unaware of what was happening, and in such a situation, they still maintained their formation and did not scatter, and from this alone it can be seen that the cavalry of this group is highly skilled.

The leader was obviously much more ornate than the others, the hair on his head was very short, and he looked very messy after being blown by the wind, his bronzed face was well-defined, the bridge of his nose was high, and his eyes were even more hawkish, coupled with his strong body, the whole person looked very powerful.

When the army had completely stopped, one of them stepped forward, walked up to the leader, bowed his head, and asked:

"Dear Zarhan, why stop, if we can't hurry to the Golden Horde, Huhan Xie will probably hear the news and flee early, in that case, things will not be good. ”

Zarhan glanced at him, "After running for so long, the war horse is already very tired, and if you don't take a break, the rest of the road is likely to be unsupportable." And, Attila, do you really think we'll be able to catch that dear brother of mine?" he raised his brow as he said this, as if he was a little amused by the naïve idea that his henchman would be so naïve.

“......”

Attila was a little puzzled, if they couldn't catch Huhan Evil, who held the death of the Great Khan, what were they doing in such a hurry.

Zarhan looked at him with a confused face, shook his head, did not sell any more, and explained: "Don't worry, since I have already received the news in advance, then Shan Yu's position can only belong to me, and I am only cautious to bring you, just in case." The rules on the grassland have always been that the law of the jungle eats the strong, and only the strongest person can become the wolf king. Is there anyone stronger than me among my father's children?"

Attila shook his head honestly, and among the fourteen children of the old Dan Yu clan, his loyal eldest son, Zar Khan, was recognized as the strongest one.

The "Blue Wolf Howling Moon Jue" cultivated by Zarhan has already opened up the second vein of Rendu, and the vein is complete, you must know that he is only thirty-three years old this year. There has always been a saying among martial artists: after the age of forty, there is no hope for the grandmaster. And Zarhan still has seven years to break through this level, which is almost predestined for the grandmaster.

In addition to his superb martial arts cultivation, Zarhan also has a very extraordinary level in military affairs.

In the past ten years, Lao Shan Yu has rarely led troops to fight, and more often hides in the golden tent and drinks and has fun with the Yan family. Many times, it was Zar Khan who led the troops to fight with the Chu people, which also allowed him to accumulate a lot of prestige in the Xiongnu army.

The gap between Zarhan and his younger brothers is so obvious that nine out of ten people already see him as the next Dadanyu. But when Lao Shan Yu was dying, he chose the position of his second son Hu Han Xie to succeed Shan Yu, which is a joke!

Zarhan continued: "I didn't want to do this, but my father disappointed me too much this time. If it had been before, my brother might have been able to use his will to subdue the other tribes and become the new Shan Yu. But now that Da Chu is fighting day by day, idiots can see that the target of this huge army can only be us. At this critical juncture, what the Xiongnu need is a strong male lord, is it true that Han is evil?"

Attila's head lowered, his face showed a touch of fanaticism, and his voice unconsciously became louder: "No, he is not. Only you, the leader, can lead us to defeat the people of Chu and defend this grassland. He was convinced of it.

Zarhan let out a long laugh when he heard this, and he looked very happy. Turn the tide in the fall, help the building in the future, who else will I be!

After a ten-minute break, the group rode their horses again. The goal is to live in the Golden Ledger alone.

............

As nomadic people, the Huns spent most of the year constantly moving their dwellings in search of suitable pastures. And the most fertile land on the steppe should naturally belong to the tribes under their control.

Crescent Lake, formed by melting snow on the summit of the Northland Qili Mountain, can only be seen in summer. Its water is crystal clear, and the contours of the lakeshore look like a curved crescent, hence its name.

On the shores of Crescent Lake, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are scattered across the endless pastures, eating leisurely. A little farther away, on the flat terrain, with the largest tent as the center, thousands of tents spread out in a circle around it. From a distance, the tent in the center is covered with a layer of divine light in the sunlight. And outside this tent, a group of golden wolf guards stood on both sides with knives, their expressions as if they were poured out of the same mold, extremely cold and hard.

This is the center of the power of the Xiongnu, the golden horde where the dynasties lived.

At this time, inside the Golden Horde, Lao Shan Yu's second son, Hu Han Xie, was walking around on the ground with a frightened face.

He had just learned from his mother that his eldest brother had learned of his father's deathbed and was now leading an army to kill him. This news was like a bucket of ice water poured on his head in the middle of winter, which made Hu Hanxie, who had been intoxicated with surprises for the past two days and couldn't extricate himself, completely sober up, and recalled his fear of his eldest brother since he was a child.

Although he was the second son of Lao Danyu, his mother was not the same as Zar Khan's mother, and he was ten years younger than Zar Khan.

For as long as he can remember, the eldest brother has been like a mountain, shrouding him in his own shadow. His martial arts, horsemanship, and archery skills were all taught by Zarhan, which also made him worship his eldest brother in his heart and also planted the seeds of fear.

In fact, he had never had the idea of competing with his eldest brother for the position of Shan Yu before, but fate was so unpredictable, and this position fell on his head.

As a result, he didn't even become a single Yu for a day, and the eldest brother was killed.

Hu Han Ye's mother, Ning Hu Yan's expression was still very calm, and one thought flashed quickly in her mind, now, it is impossible to let her son inherit Shan Yu's position, although she and Hu Han Xie have the will of Lao Shan Yu, but in front of Zar Khan, who has the support of the army, this will is not much stronger than waste paper. The top priority is to leave this place first, find a way to seek the protection of the Black Heaven Sect, and save the lives of himself and his son.

Although the High Priest of the Black Heaven Sect is no longer there, the Xiongnu Shan Yu still needs to maintain the reverence for the Black Sky Sect, this balance between the regime and the clerical power has been maintained for hundreds of years, and it will continue to be maintained.

Hu Hanxie, who already had some six gods and no masters, immediately agreed after listening to his mother's proposal. He is not stupid, the eldest brother may be killed in the next second, and if he stays in this golden tent, there will be no turnaround, and the chance of being killed by the eldest brother's arrow is a little greater.

The two golden wolf guards outside the tent can't be called, they are Shan Yu's personal soldiers in the past dynasties, and they will only be dispatched when Shan Yu orders them. Hu Han Evil has not been recognized by the major tribes now, and it is not really Shan Yu. In fact, he had not yet announced Lao Shan Yu's will, otherwise it would not have been possible to flee in a hurry as soon as he heard that Zarhan was coming with his troops.

Everything came too suddenly, and Hu Hanye wanted to be cautious, but now he didn't even have a chance to fight to the death.

The mother and son didn't waste any more time, and Zarhan could arrive at any moment, so they only brought some gold and silver belongings and a few dozen henchmen. Ning Hu Yan lied to the Golden Wolf Guard, who was guarding outside the tent, that he had just received the news that his father was seriously ill and wanted to take Hu Han Xie to visit. With that, the group of people got on their horses and ran away in a panic.

The golden wolf guard outside the tent watched them leave suspiciously, but after all, he didn't stop them, in this land, no one could harm Lao Shan Yu's wife and son. Rather than worrying about such trivial things, they have a more important mission to accomplish. That is to protect the golden tent and wait for a new single to enter the city.

Although it seems to be quiet at the moment, the major tribes that have lost their mere suppression are already a little ready to move. After a long time, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen.

The call of the golden wolf guards was quickly answered, and not long after Huhan Xie and his mother left, Zarhan finally arrived with three thousand cavalry.

When the commander of the Golden Wolf Guard, Subu, saw Zar Khan, he was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward, but he was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zar Khan immediately:

"Needless to say, I know the situation very well now. Father, since he has returned to the embrace of the Great Black Heaven, the position of Shan Yu can only be taken over by me. You go and send someone to inform the leaders of the major tribes to come, and say that I am going to hold a succession ceremony. If anyone doesn't want to come, gather your army at home and meet my men's swords and arrows. ”

After hearing the order, Su Bu didn't hesitate at all, and responded directly.

As early as a few years ago, when Lao Shan Yu's body began to deteriorate day by day, Golden Wolf Wei had already regarded his eldest son Zar Khan as the next Shan Yu, and everything at the moment was just a matter of course.

Just as he was about to retreat, Zarhan stopped him again, "Wait, where are Hu Han Xie and Ning Hu Yan, why didn't they come out to see me?"

Attila and the others standing behind him pricked up their ears.

Su Bu replied with some hesitation: "Ning Hu Yan said that her father was seriously ill and had just left with Hu Han Xie ......"

Zarhan was not surprised, this is the practice of smart people. If the two didn't escape and stayed here, then he could only kill his relatives in righteousness.

............

Two days later, within the Golden Horde, Zarhan sat on the throne of Shan Yu with the support of a group of tribal leaders, and was known to the outside world as the plough and the lonely Shan Yu. Everything went well, the only fly in the ointment was that on the day of the succession, the Black Sky Sect did not send enough people to congratulate him.

Since the death of the previous High Priest, the Black Sky Sect has been very low-key for several years, and no new High Priest has appeared, which is strange.

When he asked the Black Sky Sect priest standing in front of him about this, he was told that the previous high priest had already explained before his death, and after his death, all the affairs of the Black Sky Sect would be taken over by the Holy Maiden. And the holy woman had left the Xiongnu as early as five years ago, and it is said that she went to the territory of Chu to train. Therefore, the Black Heaven Cult is now temporarily managed by several priests together.

A saint?

After learning of this, a beautiful and unearthly shadow flooded in the depths of Zarhan's mind......
