The spring breeze blows across the grassland, making the cattle and sheep that have survived the winter feel hope. At sunset, groups of cattle and sheep with full bellies return. The shepherds laugh and sing to each other, with joy in their hearts.
The joy seemed to be overflowing.
The cattle and sheep huffed fast or slowly, and naturally it was impossible to follow the rhythm very regularly. Therefore, the shepherds who returned to the royal court were also in chaos. There were a bunch of them here and a few there, and no one knew what the password was.
, follow any rules, as long as you don't get too close to the king's tent, even the guards of the king's tent won't pay much attention.
It’s not that the Huns don’t have rules, but it’s a habit that’s been hundreds of years old. It’s very difficult to change it, especially if the Huns are loose and ingrained in their bones. They want to change it like the Chinese farming nation.
The organization is so tight that it is basically impossible.
Even in the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu, this is still the case.
The equipment is messy, the equipment is lacking, and the Huns are nomadic people on the grassland. They are happy with just food and clothing. If they add some koumiss or something, they will be as good as the sky, and they rarely think about other things.
Strengthen large-scale animal husbandry? Improve instruments and production equipment? Agricultural farming mixed with animal husbandry to increase production capacity?
To be honest, it is wrong to say that nomadic people are lazy by nature, but these nomadic people really don’t have much thought to do this, or someone has done it before, but it has not been passed down and it has not been passed down.
At the corner of the royal court tent community, there are a few separate tents, surrounded by wooden fences, which look a little lonely. It is completely different from the happy atmosphere of most people in the royal court. The place looks lonely and peaceful.
Lonely, there are usually 30 or 40 people patrolling day and night. Whenever anyone comes near, they will be immediately scolded or expelled. Those who do not listen to the advice may even be shot on the spot.
This place was originally a cattle and sheep pen, and a circle of fences was built around it. Later, some people came and re-reinforced and repaired the circle. I thought about it. Anyway, it was impossible to build a castle like the Han people and then put the cattle and sheep out.
He was sent to another place and lived in Huchuquan.
For Huchuquan, the sky is always dark. From sunrise to sunset, it is just from dim to dark. Basically, there is not much difference. In the days in the tent, even the stars are rarely seen, only
Every morning and evening, with the arrival of food delivery personnel, Huchuquan can take a breath, look at the sky, and see the green earth again.
As the sun struggled for a few times on the edge of the grassland, it was dragged down by the earth. Some bright red colors burst out on the blue curtain, and quickly turned into dark red, then black and brown, and finally it was unclear.
Already.
Everything around this lonely tent seemed to be dead. Even the guards on duty seemed to be infected by this loneliness. Although they were standing, their eyelids were fighting.
The guards here were strictly guarded at first, but as time went by, it seemed as if this place had been forgotten by everyone. No one asked about it, and there was no follow-up. It continued like this boringly day after day, even if it was made of iron.
The man can't help but feel a little rusty.
Let this night be considered over again...
The guard guarding the tent looked up to the sky and let out a huge yawn, which made the joints of his cheeks crack. There were some tears in the corners of his eyes. He thought that he would wait for a while before getting off duty, and he must have a sleep to talk in secret, but suddenly he suddenly
I heard some noises in the distance!
The guards on duty inside the fence couldn't help but look at each other, and their spirits were shaken. They looked across the fence in the direction of the sound, and saw only a few figures flashing out of the darkness...
Normally, if such a situation suddenly occurs at night, the guards should be on alert immediately. Maybe a rain of arrows will pass first, and then wait until dawn to see if the unlucky guy appears here. But these days, it is so calm.
Unable to remain calm, these guards unknowingly relaxed a lot and even became a little numb. When they saw some figures, they did not attack directly immediately, but subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"
Who is there!?"
In the dark night, the figure seemed to pause for a moment, and then a deliberately suppressed voice sounded, bringing out a somewhat anxious voice: "It's not good... Gao Nu's people have sneaked in, Gao Nu's... it is said that they are
We have to take action and seize King Youxian... Shanyu sent us over to strengthen the defense and quickly open the fence to let us in..."
"People from Gao Nu?" The guards were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the black figures who seemed to have no weapons and empty hands, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Yes, yes, let's open the fence..." the black shadow said as he walked forward.
"Uh..." The leather-hatted guard leader on duty realized what he was doing and said quickly, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work! But you also know the rules. This door cannot be opened at night... It will be dawn in an hour or two.
First, I would like to trouble you all to stand guard outside the fence...I have offended you, and I will apologize to you at dawn..."
The black shadow was swaying, but his feet were not slow, and he quickly approached the fence: "...You can't drive, okay... We know the rules, there is no grievance, no grievance, how can we ask you to apologize, brother?"
...It's just that in the middle of the night, the night wind is really cold. We are here in a hurry. Do you have some felt and leather hats? Otherwise, if the wind blows all night outside and there is dew on one end, there will be no one there.
It’s all ruined…”
Hearing that the black shadow agreed not to come in, the guard on duty was slightly relieved. He quickly called a few people to go back and bring out some blankets. He turned his head and looked at the black shadow who had already approached the fence. Although he was holding a torch in his hand, there was nothing
The wooden fence, light and shadow are all divided into lines, which is really difficult to distinguish.
In the dark shadow, the strong man at the head saw that the guard seemed to be sizing him up, and he grinned, revealing a few big teeth, which shone under the light of the torch, and seemed a bit like the fangs exposed by a vicious wolf.
"This brother..." the foreman guard on duty said with some confusion, "You said Shan Yu sent you here? Why do you look a little unfamiliar..."
"Ah, brother, why did you forget me... Fortunately, I brought you a roast leg of lamb. Come on, give it to you..." The black shadow grinned when he saw that his men were already in place.
, waved, and while lowering his voice, he reached into his arms and felt around, as if he was preparing to take out the leg of lamb.
After being on duty for most of the night, the cold wind was blowing outside, and some of the food eaten in the evening had long since melted away. When he heard the words "roast leg of lamb," the guard on duty couldn't help but grunted in his throat, and immediately answered the question he just asked. Forgetting most of it, I took two steps forward and stood in front of the fence, ready to reach out to catch the leg of lamb.
"Here's your mother's leg of lamb!"
The strong man in the shadow was groping, and when he saw the foreman's guard on duty standing close, he suddenly let out a loud shout, grabbed the leather robe of the foreman through the fence, and pulled it close to the wooden fence, and the other guard was groping His hand also flashed, but what he pulled out was not a leg of mutton, but a foot-long dagger, which he thrust into the guard's belly with one strike!
Immediately, the strong man pulled out the bloody knife, slashed at the joint of the binding fence, and kicked a wooden stake slightly with his feet, "King Youxian! I'm here to save you!"
…………………………
In a difficult situation, he was imprisoned in Huchuquan. After spending the first few days of confusion and indifference, his mind slowly gathered together, and as time went by, he began to understand the situation from the beginning. Yu Fuluo's guilt gradually began to change.
Who likes being under house arrest?
No one likes it.
Therefore, Hu Chuquan complained about himself and reflected on himself from the beginning, and gradually changed to assuming the past and looking forward to the future. As a result, he climbed out of the abyss of decadence smoothly...
What if Yu Fuluo had agreed to go south together?
What if I had more troops on hand?
What if I had defeated General Zhengxi?
if……
If there is really a chance to start over, then the one who is imprisoned is not himself, but probably Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West!
Hu Chuquan can listen to all Fu Luo's arrangements, he can obey everything under the supervision of the surrounding guards, he can remain silent, eat well and sleep well every day, as if he has no other agenda in his heart.
But in Hu Chuquan's heart, unwillingness and resentment were accumulating bit by bit. On this night, he finally got an opportunity!
During this period of time, every night at night, Huchuquan, who had nothing to do anyway, lay down on the felt as soon as it got dark and snored loudly. It seemed that he slept well every day, but in fact, Huchuquan I spent most of the time pretending to sleep, not daring to open my eyes, listening intently to the footsteps of the guards inside and outside the tent, calculating, calculating, what to do if there was still a chance to go out in the future...
Tonight, Hu Chuquan was still pretending to sleep as usual, silently experiencing the changes around him. It was around midnight that he really took a nap, and he woke up before the fourth watch, and continued to pay attention to everything secretly.
The small commotion outside the fence had already awakened Huchuquan. He turned over and sat up in the darkness, pricking up his ears and listening to the sounds outside. The sound of the guard on duty talking was just fragmented and carried by the night wind, but it was fragmented. Huchuquan couldn't tell the difference at all, until the last loud roar!
The clear roar surged through the silent night sky, causing Huchuquan to tremble and stand up quickly. His heart was really pounding and pounding, but he didn't know who was coming? This voice seemed familiar to him. But for a while Huchuquan couldn't figure out who it was.
However, this did not prevent Huchuquan from quickly judging in his heart whether such a sudden change was true or false. He soon became sure that something had indeed changed in the royal court of Yufuluo!
Although there is still a gap between the orderliness of the Huns and the Han people, the requirements at night are still the same. Even the Huns are aware of the terrifying nature of the roar of the camp, let alone in the royal court and near the Chanyu. It is impossible to make noise at will, or even deliberately put on a show to deceive yourself...
Unless Yu Fuluo wants to attack him?
The shouts continued to float in, and the tent curtain was lifted, and three guards walked in with a stern face, spread out and stared at Huchuquan, the leader said coldly: "King Youxian, don't move... otherwise ...Hmph..."
After hearing this, Hu Chuquan was not only not afraid, but felt as if a stone had fallen in his heart. He smiled relaxedly, opened his hands to show that he had no weapons, and said: "What are you afraid of? I'm right here... I'm not going anywhere." go……"
Although Huchuquan said this, the three guards in the tent did not look much relaxed. Everyone held the handle of the knife and stood not far from Huchuquan. Huchuquan had no doubt that as long as he If there is any slight movement, these three men will immediately draw their swords and chop them down!
After listening carefully for a while, Huchuquan's heart sank. The sound of fighting and shouting nearby was not very shocking, which meant that there were not many people fighting nearby. There seemed to be no other sounds in the distance, which showed that The conflict is limited here...
Damn it, why are so many people here?
I don’t know how these people sneaked in. Since ten or twenty of them could sneak in, why not sneak in a few more before taking action?
Naturally, Hu Chuquan could not figure out the changes in the process, and what he had to do now was to make up his mind. Under such a situation, should he take the risk and respond? How many opportunities would he have to escape from it? Birthday!
In the tent, Hu Chuquan seemed to have some soreness in his cervical spine. Under the pressure of the guards on duty, he shook his head a few times, stretched his waist, and laughed a few times: "I am alone, look at how nervous you are. It looks so funny!"
One of the guards on duty said coldly: "King Youxian, please don't make any moves. The Chan Yu has given orders. If King Youxian does something strange, don't blame us for offending him."
Hu Chuquan said nonchalantly: "I'm right here, can I still fly to the sky? If you're not worried... there should be a rope in the corner over there. You can go get it and tie me up." Is it okay? This way you can relax your mind, right? Damn it, it’s fine, I don’t know what the fuss is about..."
The guards in the tent couldn't help but turn to look at the corner. After pondering for a moment, the leader said: "Okay, if King Youxian cooperates, it will be convenient for everyone..."
The two guards on duty went to the corner and found the rope. They seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, and they didn't look like they were facing a formidable enemy. They walked towards Huchuquan as usual and gave a slight salute: "Right
King Xian, I am really offended..."
The two approached, and one of them grabbed one of Huchuquan's hands. Just as they were about to tie it up with a rope, they heard Huchuquan snort coldly: "Do you also know that this is an offense!?"
In the cold words, Hu Chuquan exerted force, and the two guards who grabbed his arms and were about to put a rope on him collided hard with each other!
Hu Chuquan grabbed the falling rope, grabbed it with one hand and threw it around the two of them. He immediately punched out hard, making the two of them unsteady and staggering. He immediately added another kick and two
The two entangled guards could no longer stand steadily and fell to one place!
Seeing that something was not going well, the leading guard on duty shouted and pulled out his knife and slashed at Huchuquan. However, Huchuquan held the handle of the knife with one hand and punched his wrist, making a cracking sound.
In the middle, the sword could no longer be held, and it came out!
At this moment, Hu Chuquan had used up all his accumulated energy, caught the sword like lightning, and casually slashed the leading guard over with his sword. He had no time to look at the two guards who were still falling on the ground.
, he subconsciously swung his knife, slashed at the door curtain, and rushed out of the tent!
Outside the tent, a dozen guards who were on duty at several levels outside were also stunned and could not react immediately. This change was so hasty that they were all caught off guard!
Even if he rushed out of the tent, the chance of breaking out of the royal court and finally escaping was not very clear. But even so, Hu Chuquan still felt that blood was filling his chest. At this moment, he
He is no longer a prisoner under his command, and is no longer a guilty person. From this moment on, his fate can only be in his own hands, whether he is life or death!
