Yin Zhixie, King of Zuoguli of the Xiongnu. The first impression given by this person is that he is brave. Compared with ordinary Huns, Yin Zhixie is taller and stronger. When riding on a horse, he looks like a hill. It is still very cold in spring.
, but Yin Zhixie exposed his two thick arms, and combined with his rough face and thick beard, he looked like the reincarnation of Vajra standing on two sides in the temple.
Being able to be the King of Zuo Guli and gain the trust of Shan Yu, you should not be deceived by his appearance. Although he is rough, his eyes are very smart. Su Ren understood a lot of information from it, such as
Insidious, cunning and cunning.
Liu Hong got off his horse and knelt down on one knee: "Liu Hong of Qianhu has met the king. Fortunately, he has fulfilled his orders and brought Su Ren back to give orders to the king!"
"Hahaha..." Yin Zhixie laughed loudly: "Okay! Liu Qianhu, thank you for your hard work. Come, I will give you a big reward!"
Several slaves carried a large wooden box and walked to the front, opening the lid in front of everyone. The golden thing blinded several pairs of dogs, and many people showed greedy and envious eyes.
Liu Hong was not pretentious and saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yin Zhixie burst out laughing again: "You have all seen that if you do well in the things assigned by me, I will never be stingy with rewards. You all must follow Liu Qianhu's example. As long as you do your best to serve me, you will be better."
Many rewards are waiting for you!"
Everyone cheered and knelt down and shouted loudly at Yin Zhixie.
Yin Zhixie helped Liu Hong up, and Liu Hong quickly moved out of the way. Yin Zhixie strode to Su Ren's side and looked Su Ren up and down. Su Ren smiled in return.
Yin Zhi scratched his head, turned around and asked Liu Hong, "Is he Su Ren?"
Liu Hong quickly said: "Your Majesty, this person is Su Ren."
"Oh, I didn't expect that the famous Su Ren would be such a weak person. He is no match for our Huns warriors."
The Huns burst into laughter.
Liu Hong did not laugh: "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me. Although this man is weak, anyone who dares to go against him will not have good results. The lives of the villain's whole family are in the hands of this man, and there are many powerful people who have been defeated repeatedly."
In his hands, this man is good at killing people with borrowed swords, and he has many desperadoes, so the king must be extremely careful."
"Hahaha!" Yin Zhi nodded obliquely: "I have remembered what Liu Qianhu said! Come on, please invite Mr. Su to rest in the royal court. It's been a long day today, and tomorrow the king will have a good talk with Mr. Su.
"
After all, it is the royal court, and it is the most fertile place for water and grass in the entire Xiongnu. The Yinshan Mountain seems to have blocked the cold air from the north and the rain from the south. As far as the eye can see, there is a emerald green, mixed with gray and white. The gray ones are cattle and horses, and the white ones are
The shouts and songs of the sheep and herdsmen echoed in the mountains, and the smiles on their faces showed how satisfied they were with their current lives.
If it weren't for the beautiful scenery that was stained by the group of ragged people near the foot of the mountain, Su Ren would have thought that living here might be a good choice in this life. Not only were those people dressed in rags, but they were also lifeless. In ten
Driven by a few Huns, hundreds of people staggered towards the mountainside, which was called a lack of energy.
"Those are slaves, most of them are Han Chinese. They were all captured by the Huns from the Han region!" Liu Hong felt bad when he saw such a scene. He was also a Han Chinese at heart.
Su Ren nodded: "They are all young and strong, right? How long has it been the longest?"
Liu Hongdao: "The longest period is only three months. Do you see those few in the back who can't walk? They are the ones who have been captured the longest among that group of people."
"March? Then before..." Huang Shisan couldn't continue the second half of the question, he had already guessed the result.
Liu Hong did not explain, but said to Su Ren: "There are also some Han people in the royal court. They can live longer than these people, especially those women. As long as they don't resist or can give birth to children for the Huns, they can live." It’s longer.”
"They won't run away? Such a large group of people and only a dozen guards?"
Liu Hong looked at Huang Shisan as if he were an idiot: "Although this is the Yinshan Mountains and not far from the Han Dynasty, do you think you can outrun a four-legged horse on the grassland? Or can you escape the falcons in the sky?"
Su Ren sighed: "To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty was still unable to protect its own people. No wonder the Huns."
The cowhide tent is the most common house for the Huns. The tent that Yin Zhixie assigned to Su Ren was not bad. There were blankets and tables inside, and there were even a few bows and a pot of arrows hanging on the wall. There was a pile of arrows in the middle. There was a clay pot hanging above the fire, which was steaming. The water inside was boiling. There was no bed, and there were only a few animal skins spread under the back wall. Although it was a little crude, it was better than clean.
As soon as Liu Hong waved his hand, two groveling men stooped in and hurriedly knelt at their feet: "These are the servants given to you by the king. Just tell them anything. Mr. Su is a smart man. He will do whatever he wants." You don’t need me to tell you what shouldn’t be done, right?”
Su Ren smiled and nodded. Liu Hong didn't stop, he cupped his hands and turned around to go out.
Huang Shisan yelled and cursed, pointing at Liu Hong's back and scolding him harshly, but Liu Hong didn't seem to hear anything and just mounted his horse and headed towards his camp. Barbarian Niu took off the clay pot and asked for it. Pour boiling water into the kettle. The slave kneeling next to him quickly stepped forward to take the pottery pot from Man Niu's hand, and smiled ingratiatingly at Man Niu.
Man Niu didn't let go. This was a den of tigers and wolves. If the gentleman had done something good, they wouldn't be able to forgive him even if they died. But Su Ren smiled and waved his hand, signaling Man Niu to give the pottery pot to the servant. He turned his head and looked at the man kneeling on the ground. Another servant, Su Ren, asked: "Are you all Han?"
The servant kneeling on the ground raised his head and glanced at Su Ren, then quickly lowered his head and shook his head vigorously.
"Hahaha, you are not a Han Chinese but you can understand Chinese. It's not easy for you, a slave."
The servant behaved very well this time. He lowered his head obediently and knelt on the ground without saying a word. He was neither panic nor nervous.
"Don't be afraid! I am also a Han Chinese they captured. We are all in the same boat. Since we are all Han Chinese, do we need to be so careful?"
The servant who was kneeling on the ground said nothing. The servant who was pouring water came over with a water cup and handed it to Su Ren with both hands: "You don't look like you were captured, but you look like you were invited."
After taking the water glass, Su Ren glanced at the servant. The man's hair was messy and his body was in tatters, but he couldn't hide the heroism in his eyes. Just the action of handing the water glass could tell that this man was of high origin.
"What's the difference between inviting me here and arresting me? Aren't you losing your freedom and your life and death are in the hands of others?"
The servant smiled and nodded: "Yes, the Han people are indeed in danger when they come to the Huns. It seems that sir is not someone who is easily invited. I wonder what methods the Huns used?"
"Simple, threaten me with a hundred lives of my subordinates."
"Oh! So that's it, sir, is a Han official?"
Su Ren smiled and shook his head: "A businessman."
The servant frowned: "I didn't expect these Huns to enter our territory again. This time, I don't know how many people died in their hands. It's really abominable!"
"How were you captured?" Su Ren did not say it clearly, which was regarded as acquiescing to the identity and scene arranged by the slave.
"We? Haha, it's nothing more than being arrested for nothing. Do the Huns need any reason to arrest the Han people?"
Su Ren nodded: "You sound like you speak with a Chang'an accent. Are you from Chang'an?"
The servant glanced at Su Ren and shook his head: "A villain, a man among the ordinary people."
Su Ren didn't ask any more questions, and he confirmed with a smile. After running for a day, he felt a little hungry, so he ordered two slaves to find some food. Su Ren, Huang Shisan, and Man Niu were the only three people left in the tent.
Huang Shisan was very interested in the several bows hanging on the wall. He reached out and wanted to take them out to try, but was stopped by Su Ren.
Man Niu asked Su Ren: "Sir, since these two people are from Hanzhong, why were they caught here by Yin Zhixie?"
Su Ren smiled and said, "Perhaps you were arrested by Yin Zhixie's people when you were going to do business elsewhere? The Huns don't care where you come from."
Man Niu frowned: "But they really don't speak like Hanzhong people, more like Chang'an people."
Su Ren smiled again, this time without explaining, and said to Man Niu: "Since there are some things that people don't want to say, it's better not to ask. We can't protect ourselves now, so what's the point of knowing too much?"
The two servants carried a pot of meat into the tent. It smelled very good. The three of them were hungry and started to feast without Su Ren's instructions. Su Ren saw the younger servant drooling at the corner of his mouth and greeted him with a smile.
Come and eat together. The servant took two steps forward, then looked back at the other one. Seeing that the other one was still kneeling on the spot motionless, he quickly returned to his original place.
"Aren't you hungry?" Huang Shisan asked the two people kneeling opposite him while eating, his mouth full of oil.
The talkative servant said: "This is what the Huns gave you, we cannot eat it."
"What happens if you eat it?"
"If the Huns find out, they will be whipped, and in severe cases, they will be killed or expelled from the royal court."
"Wouldn't it be better to just go back?"
The servant smiled and said: "This gentleman is thinking simply. If you don't have a guide, you can't go out on this grassland. The biggest possibility is to be eaten by wild wolves."
"So there is no possibility of escape?"
The servant shook his head.
There was a lot of meat in one pot, and the Huns regarded Su and Ren as the same as themselves, and gave them to Su Ren and the fattest parts. Su Ren's illness was not cured yet, and he lost his appetite after just two bites. Huang Shisan
Seeing that Su Ren didn't want to eat, He Man Niu also took a few bites and stopped. There was still half of the jar of meat left. Man Niu pushed the jar forward and said, "I'll give you the rest, we can't finish it."
!If you eat what we can’t finish, they won’t make it difficult for you?”
The young servant was overjoyed, but he did not forget to glance at his companion beside him. After receiving the agreement, he immediately rushed forward. The older servant first saluted Su Ren: "Thank you sir for this generous gift!"
Su Ren smiled and nodded: "Can you tell me your name now?"
The servant was stunned: "Little man Ziwen!" (To be continued)
