"What the heck! In the past, every meal was served with wine and meat. Even though it was boiled in plain water and the taste was really not that good, it was still much better than these things.
Although my brother is not short of food, you have to show your attitude!"
After taking a bite of the courgette in his hand, he threw it heavily on the table in front of him, directly smashing away the remaining half of the courgette, which was the cucumber, and then cursed in Huang Yizhi's mouth.
There was an indignant tone in his voice.
Huang Yizhi's voice fell, and Xu Feng, who was also full of dissatisfaction, immediately agreed:
"Yeah, it's okay if we don't arrange for some Hu girls to come over so that we can learn the local language. Anyway, whether we can learn this thing or not, that's all.
But in the past two days, even the male servants have been withdrawn, and now I have to do it myself even if I want to boil my feet and soak my feet. This is a bit too much."
"Yes, I can't bear it. Who do these grandsons look down on?" After hearing the above statement, the rookie lecturer also echoed.
This time, when he said this, he really didn't mean it as a way to get closer, but because he truly felt that such a thing was happening.
The reason why there are such indignant complaints in the mouths of these people.
That's because today is already their sixth day in Shanshan; in the first three days, they were obviously treated like distinguished guests.
It's delicious and delicious, and there's a dedicated person to serve you.
It really allowed them to enjoy the decadent life of the gentlemen during the feudal dynasty.
But starting from the fourth day, I felt that the attitude of the servants had changed; the daily supply to Ban Chao and Guo Xun had not changed much, but the treatment of these small soldiers was getting worse day by day.
Today, even the servants in such a large residence have been evacuated.
Only a few people were left to serve Guo Xun and Ban Chao. There was not even meat star in the food for these soldiers.
After hearing this, Hu Biao had already figured out something in his mind.
After blowing out a smoke ring that was not round at all, he immediately began to speak slowly:
"What other reasons could there be? Just like in history, the envoys sent by the Huns also arrived at Shanshan Kingdom.
Since the Wang Mang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty completely withdrew from the Western Region because it needed to shrink its strength, making it the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu. The influence of our Han Dynasty has been greatly reduced.
Now that the Huns envoy has arrived, the Shanshan Kingdom is caught in the middle. Although it is currently in a dilemma.
But in their hearts, they are still more inclined to surrender to the Huns, so they have the current series of reactions."
Hu Biao's voice finally fell, and Yang Dongli also agreed and said:
"Lao Hu's analysis is correct. People like Shan Shanguo are too impetuous in doing things and cannot even do basic concealment.
Judging from the behavior of these people in the past two days, this should be the case. The incident is still developing in the original historical direction.
From my understanding, it is on the original historical line.
Faced with this critical situation, Ban Chao and his men killed more than a hundred Huns envoys, leaving the Shanshan Kingdom with no choice but to seek refuge with the Han.
The problem is, who knows to what extent these Huns envoys will be strengthened this time after system adjustments."
"What the hell!" After hearing this, Lien Chan couldn't help but burst out like this half-breed Ocean horse. It was a foul language that was very characteristic of Hu Biao's team.
Maybe in the past, she used to curse words that started with ‘F’.
But after hanging out with Hu Biao and others for more than half a month, I was influenced by this guy, and even speaking Mandarin had a bad taste.
Although the others did not speak, they also had grimaces on their faces.
It shows their current mood, which is actually not very beautiful.
Mainly because in the past few days, although they were able to enter and exit this residence freely, they were always followed by servants. They originally wanted to do something showy, but it turned out that there were so many people and it was difficult to do it.
In the past two days, even if I go out, I will be stopped by the soldiers at the door, who are very polite but firm.
So much so that the good things in Huang Yizhi's hands, not to mention the glass handicrafts, were just the bag of glass beads, and each one was obviously worth a lot of money.
But there is no way to recruit troops and gather more manpower.
Otherwise, don't say that at this time, we can use cannon fodder to kill the Huns' envoys. Believe it or not, they will overthrow the Shanshan Kingdom and install a puppet as the leader of the country.
However, worrying, having headaches, and scolding these methods will not help solve the current problem at all.
Otherwise, with Hu Biao’s ability to scold people, what kind of system tasks would he not be able to pass?
After a long time, Hu Biao and others decided to tell Ban Chao such news first; they would see what Ban Dingyuan thought, and then inquire about the strength of the Huns envoy, and then make a decision.
But before Hu Biao could take action, Gan Ying had already pushed the door open and entered.
All he said out of his mouth was: "Yi Tong, Ban Sima needs you to come over for something~"
*******
"Yi Tong, have you noticed that those in Shanshan have become less enthusiastic about my Han envoy group recently?"
After Hu Biao followed Gan Ying to the room where Ban Chao lived, there was no need for him to say anything. Ban Chao just said one sentence to them.
Sure enough, this kind of person who has left such a great reputation in history has very keen observation skills and can detect anything amiss.
As for him and Gan Ying, calling Hu Biao "unity" was just a way of expressing their affection for Hu Biao.
With the two battles on the road, and even in the last battle, Hu Biao killed two generals in a row. After the victory was determined, Ban Chao obviously became more and more serious about this desperate attack.
He can be regarded as a subordinate, a trusted warrior.
Even people like Gan Ying regarded him as brothers and sisters.
The only problem is that the favorability level seems to have not been raised enough; Hu Biao has been too embarrassed to ask, and Ban Chao has never mentioned it on his own initiative.
Anyway, that is the breathing method that everyone is still thinking about even now.
Up to now, Hu Biao has also failed to learn it successfully.
Seeing that Ban Chao had already noticed the current abnormality in advance, Hu Biao did not continue to say anything and suppressed the original reminder.
He replied: "Indeed! The robes have all said that the food has been quite poor in the past two days. I don't know what these Shanshan people are thinking in their hearts."
"There must be an envoy from the Huns arriving here, making it difficult for the Lord of Shanshan to make a decision. He doesn't know which side to listen to."
Ban Chao immediately expressed his judgment:
"But seeing that their hospitality is becoming more and more indifferent, I think they are leaning more towards the Huns. In two or three days at most, they are afraid that they will take action against us to please those Huns envoys."
Regarding the above speculation, Hu Biao, who had known such a period of history for a long time, naturally knew that it was true.
However, Gan Ying, Tian Li and other close guards who were in the room at the moment did not say much because they were in the middle of the game.
But looking at Ban Chao's judgment, judging from his expression, he is still somewhat doubtful.
Just at this time, a servant was left to serve Ban Chao.
With a respectful smile on his face and a plate of wine and meat in his hand, he walked into the room; it seemed that he was here to deliver lunch to Ban Chao.
In today's 16th year of Yongping, that is, 1973, people with status like Hu Biao still eat two meals a day.
However, due to different identities of Ban Chao and others, three meals a day are still guaranteed.
But the servant didn't expect that in the midst of the fierce turmoil, Ban Chao, with a furious expression on his face, shouted at him:
"I know that the Huns' envoys have arrived. Where do they live now and how many people do they have?
Tell me honestly, if there is even half a word of "no" in your mouth, I will kill you today."
In order to match Ban Chao's momentum, Ban Chao and Gan Ying pulled out a sharp ring-headed knife from their waists with a "Qiang~" sound, as if they were about to kill someone.
Even Hu Biao instinctively puffed up his chest and tightened his abdomen in order to act in a mighty manner and to build up his momentum.
Huge surprise, or maybe feeling guilty.
The plate in the servant's hand fell to the ground with a 'clang' sound, scattering a lot of food and wine all over the floor, and he stammered:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It's not that I want to hide it, but the superior officer told me not to let you know about it.
They currently live in the west of the city, in a villa owned by the eldest prince, but I have no way of knowing exactly how many people there are in the envoy group."
After hearing such a statement immediately, Gan Ying and others no longer had any doubts.
Because seeing the servant blurt out these words in fear, it shouldn’t look like he was lying...
