Chapter 313 Clumsy Trick
By the lakeside of Atami (later Aral Sea), Ni Mi was drinking alone in a felt tent.
Just then there was a noise outside the account.
"What's the fuss about?"
Ni Mi roared outside the tent.
He lived a very unsatisfactory life during this period. After occupying the new pasture, the Huns did not give him the right of first choice as agreed.
Instead, he was driven to the Atami Seaside. The environment at Atami Seaside was not bad, but it was far inferior to that in the northern part of the Caspian Sea.
Facing the unfair treatment by the Huns, Ni Mi did not dare to resist and drank alcohol every day to drown his sorrows.
"Is this Wusun Kunmo, who is known as the descendant of Canglang?"
A familiar voice sounded.
Ni Mizui looked at the entrance of the tent with hazy eyes.
"It turns out that our King Wuchan is here... Why are you here to see Brother Er's jokes?"
The person who came was none other than Ni Mi and his mother's brother, the newly appointed King Wuchan of the Xiongnu.
Wujiitu walked up to Ni Mi, looked at the drunken Ni Mi, turned around and said to his entourage, "Get a bucket of water!"
The entourage quickly complied, and Wujiitu picked up the bucket and poured it directly on Ni Mi's head.
The cold water suddenly woke Ni Mi up.
"Wujiitu, what do you want to do? Are you crazy?"
Ni Mi yelled.
Wujiitu said expressionlessly, "Of course I'm not crazy, but I don't know if you are crazy, brother..."
Ni Mi did not speak, but first changed out of his clothes that were wet with water.
Wujiitu also said nothing, just waiting quietly on the side.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ni Mi, who had already changed clothes, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"What did King Wuchan have to say when he came here today?"
Wujiitu looked Ni Mi up and down, "Why, our Kunmo can finally speak?"
Ni Mi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Kunmo, now that Yuan Guimi is the real Wusun Kunmo..."
Wujiitu looked around, and his followers immediately drove away the people around the tent.
At this time Wu Jiitu poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down and said, "Brother, do you know who asked Wu Sun to be placed on the shore of the hot sea?"
Ni Mi was stunned when he heard this, then gritted his teeth and said, "Who harmed me like this?"
Wujiitu played with the wine glass and said, "I asked King Youxian for this for you!"
Ni Mi jumped up when he heard this. He suppressed his anger and said, "Why is this?"
Wujiitu said politely, "Why, of course it's to save your life..."
"If Xiao Wusun really occupies the best land...how can the Xiongnu tribes tolerate you?"
After Wujiitu finished speaking, Ni Mi stood stunned on the spot.
He wanted to refute, but his reason told him that Wujiitu was right.
Ni Mi rubbed her face vigorously, hoping to wake herself up.
"Why, are you awake?" Wujiitu asked expressionlessly.
At this time, Ni Mi personally poured a glass of wine for Wu Jiutu.
Wujiutu sighed, "Rehai seems barren but actually has a lot to offer..."
Ni Mi heard this and said, "How do you say this?"
"Brother, do you know what is there in Rehai?" Wujiutu asked rhetorically instead of answering directly.
Ni Mi shook his head and asked with confusion on his face, "There can't be any iron here, right?"
Wujiitu heard this and said, "Tie, if there is iron here, can Erbao live there?"
Ni Mi was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to say.
After a long time, he said, "Then if there is anything good here, it can't be fish!"
Wujiitu chuckled and said, "Fish is also a good thing. In the past, the Qi State in the Xia Dynasty made its fortune from salt and fish..."
Ni Mi looked at Wu Jiitu suspiciously, "Is this really true?"
Wujiitu actually didn't know whether this was the case, but he would not give in.
Let’s not talk about fish and salt, but there is copper here.
Ni Mi was startled, "Copper!"
Copper is indeed a good thing. Although it is not as good as iron in this era, it is also the main material for making weapons in most countries.
Wu Jiutu said, "There is no truth in this matter. This is what the person said personally!"
Ni Mi heard this and whispered, "But Marquis Yunyang?"
Wujiitu said, "That's right...that person said that copper can be traded for weapons and armor."
Ni Mi was shocked and said, "You are actually related to that person, no, you are related to Qian Niuwei."
Wujiitu chuckled and said, "You thought I was the only one... There are no Qianniu Guards in any of the Xiongnu tribes."
…
In the Luntai Hou Mansion, Zhang Yuezheng frowned and looked at the letter in his hand.
The letter was sent by Zhang Kun from Chang'an.
According to the letter, Zhang Huan was assassinated in the Yulin Orphan Camp.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Zhang Huan, but the assassin was not caught either.
Zhang Huan's sudden assassination made Zhang Yue feel something unusual.
"Wu Zheng, go and call Yang You!"
Zhang Yue gave instructions to the door.
When Wu Zheng heard the order, he said "Promise" and immediately went to find Yang You.
It was already three quarters of an hour later when Yang You arrived.
"You don't know what's important, Your Majesty?"
Yang You bowed and asked.
Zhang Yue handed the letter to Yang You at this time.
Yang You took the letter and looked at it. He was surprised at first and then showed doubts on his face.
He thought for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is fraud in this matter!"
Zhang Yue nodded, "Does Qianniu Guard have any information about Chang'an recently?"
Yang Youdao, "The letter from Chang'an has always been reported one day at a time... There is no mention of a gentleman's assassination in it!"
Zhang Yue nodded, "It seems that someone is trying to plot against Yu. How is Zhang Kun's situation?"
Yang Youdao, "I was about to tell you, today's Chang'an Newspaper, Zhang Jiacheng has not contacted Qianniuwei for many days!"
Zhang Yue said, "This is someone who wants to sow discord between a certain person and the general!"
"Alang, you can't ignore Huan'er..."
At this moment, Zhang Guo's cry suddenly came from outside the door.
Zhang Yue and Yang You looked at each other and understood.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang Guo's cries became louder and louder.
Zhang Yue had no choice but to take the initiative to greet him.
When Zhang Guo saw Zhang Yue, she cried even more seriously, "Alang... hurry up and find a way to bring Huan'er..."
Zhang Yue frowned, winked at Yang You, comforted Ms. Zhang Guo, and helped her into a small hall next to her.
Yang You acted quickly and sealed off the entire Yunyang Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, why are you crying so hard?"
Zhang Yue asked Zhang Guo after he calmed down.
Zhang Guo complained, "Huan'er was assassinated in Chang'an, and Alang didn't know about it?"
Zhang Yue said, "Where did Madam hear this news?"
Zhang Guo said, "I just listened to Wan'er's words!"
Zhang Yue heard this and said, "Wan'er is my lady's maid, how do you know about Chang'an?"
Zhang Guo was also a smart person, but now when she calmed down and thought about it, she was shocked.
At this moment Yang You also came to the door.
"How?" Zhang Yue asked
Yang You looked at Zhang Guo in embarrassment. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yue said, "But it doesn't matter!"
Yang You then said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I was a little late. Three people in the house are missing!"
Zhang Yue was not surprised when he heard this, but asked, "Who does Yang You'er think would do such a clumsy trick?"
