There was a lot of dew in the early morning. It was not a good time to travel, especially on the grassland. After walking for a while, the hem of his robe and shoes were completely wet. Su Ren came out of the tent sleepily. He had eaten a lot of food last night.
It's comfortable. Although the soup is still clear and watery, at least there are a lot of green leafy vegetables in it, which makes the taste very different. After eating well, I naturally slept well, and I slept until dawn without even dreaming.
Shanyu's king stopped at the entrance of the tent, and Ashina's men were waiting outside with their men fully clothed and carrying a thick mace on their shoulders. The mace was very thick, even bigger than that of Ashina's
The head was still two circles thick, and only the part where the palm of the hand touched was just enough to hold. Su Ren took one look and began to worry. If he swung this thing on the battlefield, if it broke at the thinnest part, would he be injured?
His head was smashed.
Su Ren yawned, looked around but did not find Zhang Qian and the others, shook his head and smiled, then got into Wang Chu and continued to sleep on his own. Wang Chu was indeed very comfortable, with thick fur cushioning it for a foot.
It's so thick that even if the road is bumpy, you won't feel it at all when you lie inside. It's also very warm inside. Lying in the thick fur and covered with a white bear skin, you don't have any worries even if it's a violent snowstorm, not to mention it's still spring.
When Yin Zhixie said goodbye to Bank of China, Su Ren did not get off the car. He was sleeping soundly. He did not want to see these two people because he had nothing to say with them. When did he leave and when did he stop?
Not even caring. Su Ren regarded this journey as a rest, and it would be best if this road never ended. If he hadn't been woken up by peeing, Su Ren would have been unwilling to crawl out of his nest.
It was already noon, and the sun was rising so high. I didn’t expect that I didn’t sweat even though I was lying in such a place. I stood on the side of the car, took off my pants, took out my belongings, and started to pour water outside. I had to hold my urine for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't hold it in any longer, Su Ren would still be lying in the warm fur. After peeing, the breeze blew past his face, and the fatigue all over his body was swept away after he shuddered.
There was a melodious song coming from the front, which was different from Ah Si's singing, but it was also very nice. Unlike Ah Si's high-pitched and melodious singing, the Huns sang low and melodious. Back then, Su Ren had heard Mongolian long tunes, but until this time he
Only then did I realize that what the Huns sang was a combination of Mongolian long tunes and Italian operas. It was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes melodious, and sometimes intense. Listening to it reminded people of the vast grasslands and herds of galloping horses.
Su Ren also discovered Zhang Qian and others who were walking at the back of the team. He didn’t know when they came, but their arrival showed that they believed what he said. There were eighteen people in total, all dressed in rags like Zhang Qian.
The hair on his head was as messy as a piece of felt. There were actually two women among them, which surprised Su Ren. Yesterday, Zhang Qian said that the people he selected were all those who went to the Western Regions with him. Could it be that those two women were also envoys?
In the group?
Su Ren found that the two women were not Han women, but more like Huns. Their thick bodies and square faces did not look like Han people. Su Ren suspected that the two women were Zhang Qian's wives in the Huns. It is said that Japan was in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
People traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to borrow seeds. Unexpectedly, the Han Dynasty and the Huns did this more than a thousand years ago.
The team was very large, and there were a lot of goods that Yin Zhi was paying tribute to Shan Yu, so he walked very slowly. Seeing that the sun had risen to the middle of the sky, the Bank of China said that he still did not order a rest. Su Ren's stomach had already begun to protest. Breakfast
He didn't eat, and his stomach was empty at this time. He called Man Niu over and told him to get some food, but after a long time, Man Niu only brought back two wotou that could kill a person.
It's not cornmeal steamed buns, it's more like beans. If you eat too much of this stuff, you'll get gassy. But Su Ren was really hungry, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just had to fill his stomach.
While eating, he asked Manniu: "When did those people come?"
Manniu glanced in the direction of Su Ren's finger and replied: "They were waiting outside when we left the camp. There were eighteen in total and two Huns women. They said they were Zhang Qian's women, so we had to take them with us."
.”
"He doesn't have any children?"
Man Niu shook his head and said he didn't know.
After eating steamed buns and drinking water for a while, I felt completely comfortable all over. I stood on the carriage shaft and looked forward. There was still endless grassland in front of me. Judging from the position of the sun, the direction they were walking should be northwest. According to the arrival time according to the Bank of China
Calculating, it would take at least seven or eight days to reach Langjuxu Mountain. If the scenery stayed like this for such a long time, Su Ren would probably sleep to death on Wang Chu.
The team was walking. Su Ren didn't want to ride a horse or walk, so he could only stay in Wang Chu and sleep. What was even more boring was that there was no one to chat with. This was very difficult for a restless heart.
I was very disappointed. I wanted to go talk to the Bank of China, but unfortunately they didn't want to see him. Su Ren felt bored and forced himself to sleep with his eyes closed.
After finally waiting until evening, the driver of the car stopped Wang and without even looking at Su Ren, got out of the car and drove away. The leading men had already carved out an open space on the desolate grassland and barely set up a few tents.
More people do not have this kind of treatment and can only sleep with their horses. A campfire is an indispensable thing. Without it, when the wolves come, their group of people will be eaten without any bones.
The wolves on the grassland are very cunning. According to Huang Shisan, they have been followed by several wolves all day long, but they don’t know if they will attract wolves at night. If these wolves bring the wolves, it will be very important for walking in the wild.
It's a very dangerous thing for them.
Zhang Qian held a bowl of vegetable soup and kneeled respectfully in front of Su Ren. Su Ren took it, took a look at it, and asked Zhang Qian: "Can I drink it?"
Zhang Qian nodded. Without any hesitation, Su Ren took the vegetable soup and poured it into his mouth. He drank the bowl of vegetable soup in one breath, returned the bowl to Zhang Qian, and smiled: "It seems you believe me!"
"I hope sir didn't lie to me."
Wang Zhu was in a good position, parked next to the fire, surrounded by war horses and Huns. There were two advantages to doing this. Firstly, Su Ren would not be able to escape. Secondly, if there were really a pack of wolves, Su Ren, a weak guy, would
He won't be the first to be eaten.
With the bowl of vegetable soup at the bottom, it feels much more comfortable to eat meat. Lamb leg is the best piece of meat on the sheep, so Su Ren and the other two were given three legs of lamb. After not eating seriously for a day, Su Ren actually ate it alone.
After eating a whole piece, he was shocked by the way he ate it.
After eating and drinking, the primitive wildness of the Huns was released. Wrestling and dancing are things that every Huns can do. The campfire suddenly became lively. Huang Shisan has been infected and cannot withstand other people's provocation.
After entering the scene, a Huns threw two big horses to the ground, causing all the Huns to laugh. Man Niu was a good personal guard. No matter how provocative the Huns were, he always stood behind Su Ren and would not move an inch.
leave.
Asshi laughed the loudest and said weird words in his mouth. Even if Su Ren didn't understand, he could guess from his wretched face that they were definitely not good words.
After being thrown down more than a dozen times, Huang Shisan finally understood that he was not on the same level as others. The things they played from childhood to adulthood were definitely based on more than just strength. He waved his hand to indicate that he would stop playing, and turned around to walk towards Su Ren.
, a burst of mocking laughter immediately emerged from behind.
Huang Shisan turned his face and spit on the ground, saying with disdain: "You are so arrogant when you lie to me. When I learn how to do it, let's see how I deal with you!"
When the moon climbed up, the camp finally became quiet. Su Ren slept too much during the day and lost sleep at night. He leaned on the side of the car and looked at everyone in the camp. Zhang Qian and the others were slaves and there was no tent.
Naturally, they didn't even have the most basic bedding. The night was very cold, especially after the dew came, so eighteen people huddled together and shivered.
Su Ren couldn't bear it, so he woke up Huang Shisan and Man Niu, and threw the furs from Wang Xuzhong to Zhang Qian. He didn't take them all, and he was not willing to sleep on the bare carriage planks for others. There was no sound of insects, and there was no sound.
There were no birds chirping, only a wolf howl coming from a distance. It seemed that those wolves had attracted the wolves, but Su Ren was not worried, because the Huns slept soundly. These people lived all year round.
Here, you definitely know when the wolves will attack.
Su Ren wrapped his bearskin cloak tighter and looked at the stars in the sky boredly. The stars were very bright, much clearer than the hazy days in later generations, and even the smallest ones could be seen clearly.
Su Ren vaguely felt someone pushing him, and woke up with a jolt. He found a face appearing in front of him. This face was very familiar, with a smile and cynicism.
"Why are you here?" Su Ren quickly looked around.
Ying Guangji lowered his voice and said: "I have been following Liu Hong's team and hiding in Yinshan for several days. Seeing that you were brought out by this group of people again, I followed you all the way. Where are you being sent again?
?”
"The royal court of Chanyu at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain."
"Oh! Not bad. It's much better than when we came here. There's also such a good car. You're enjoying the food and drinking spicy food all day long. It's really hard for the rest of us!"
Su Ren smiled: "I didn't expect it either, how about you come up and try it too?"
"Go back to Mayi! Do you really want to follow them to Langjuxu Mountain?"
Su Ren shook his head: "You can't go back now. You can find a way to take away those eighteen people over there. I will handle the other matters myself."
"Shit!" Ying Guangji was anxious: "How can we solve the problem with you like this? Can you kill someone else's royal court, or do you expect these guys to let you go? I only came here for the sake of money. If it weren't for you
Why do you have to suffer so much for the money you promised?"
"What? The business in Tianmayi has stopped since I left?"
Ying Guangji shook his head: "That's not the case. Not to mention that your men really don't care about you. They did whatever they were supposed to do when you were caught. It was as if nothing was wrong. I was the only one who stupidly came to save you."
"Who told you and me to be friends!" Su Ren smiled, and happened to hear the sound of someone getting up, and quickly pushed Ying Guangji: "Hurry up, don't forget to save people!" (To be continued)
