Chapter 129

Cattle and sheep are grazed, and war horses are unsaddled.

Sitting in his seat, Wusu, the leader of the descendants of the Moon Wolf tribe, had a headache.In the big tent, there are his subordinates.

The Huns were mainly active on the border between Zhao and Qin, bordering Yuezhi in the west and Donghu in the east.

The Xiongnu's enemies are not only the Chinese people in the south, but also their own people.With the rise of Touman, the pressure has been felt among the various tribes.

There is actually a lot of hatred between the Xiongnu and Zhao.Hearing that Li Mu was transferred away, they didn't know the reality, and they didn't plan to go south so soon.

However, a caravan returning from the Donghu tribe attracted the attention of the Huns.

A small tribe near the Descendants of the Moon Wolf sent hundreds of knights, but was repelled several times by the hundred-man caravan guards, and finally chased them to a small town on the border of Zhao.

Wusu personally went to see the corpses of the dead Hun warriors, and they were all killed by one arrow, and there were no unnecessary wounds on their bodies.

It had been many years, and Wusu had never seen such a powerful archer.

However, what worried Wusu even more was that after the tribe suffered a disastrous defeat under Zhao Jun's city, it was directly annexed by Touman.

Then, Touman continued southward with the tribal leaders under his command, but only found an empty city.

The soldiers of the Huns set up camp for the time being, waiting for further information.But the descendants of the moon wolf couldn't wait any longer. Touman was rich and powerful, and he could afford it, but other small tribes couldn't.

If the power is damaged, I am afraid that it will be directly annexed by Touman.

"Boss, my sister is back."

Thinking of the familiar voice, Wusu was taken aback, the worry on his face froze, but then he snorted.

"She didn't listen to me, she eloped with Zhao Ren, and now she wants to come back?"

However, Wusu's words still contained a bit of distress after all, but not only Wusu's clansmen came back, but also a Chinese man wearing a red mask.

The appearance of this person made Wusu's face vigilant, and his old body tensed up.

Beasts on the prairie, he has seen a lot at his age.Even the most ferocious beast, the wolf king on the grassland, Wu Su had seen before.

In a way, there is little difference between man and beast.Wusu's ability to see people is much better than wild animals.

He could see that Touman was a strong man who could make the Huns stronger, but he also knew that his violence and greed would bring disaster to the descendants of the moon wolf.

Wu Su was worried about this, but he had no choice.

But the person in front of him had a deep aura, which made Wusu instinctively feel fear.

"who are you?"

"A man who wants to cooperate with the Son of the Moon Wolf."

Zhao Shuang looked at the descendants of the moon wolf in the big tent, most of them were women, and they all looked pretty good.The wife of Zhao Jun who brought him here glanced at the acquaintances in the tent, with a complicated expression on her face, saluted and then retreated.

"The leader should also be aware of Touman's ambition to annex all the tribes on the grassland. Now a tribe, because the attack on Zhaodi failed, all the women in the tribe were robbed by Touman, and the men were killed for their crimes. Isn't this fate worthy of vigilance? ?”

Wu Su smiled, his complexion was very unkind.

"But even so, there is no need for us to cooperate with you. People of the same clan cannot be trusted, and you, an outsider, are even less trustworthy!"

"The friendship between us has a long history, how can we be called outsiders?"

In the big tent, there was a chuckle suddenly.

"It's the first time I've heard a Chinese person talking to the barbarians in their mouths like this. If what you say is unreasonable, then I will hand you over to Touman. You should know how he deals with the Chinese people."

In an instant, murderous intent overflowed in the big tent, and more than one knife was pulled out of its sheath.

Zhao Shuang smiled lightly as if he didn't realize it.

"The friendship between us should start from the era of floods 2000 years ago"

Wu Su was taken aback for a moment, looking at this eloquent person, feeling a little regretful in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have reasoned with him.

An hour passed, and the guy in front of him didn't seem to feel tired at all.Wu Su's old eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them.The menacing subordinates around him also dozed off.

"enough!"

Wu Su couldn't bear it anymore, and stopped Zhao Shuang from talking with a loud shout.

"Let me tell you the truth! We don't trust you at all, if you are sensible, go immediately, otherwise I will hand you over to Touman."

Zhao Shuang smiled and put his hands behind his back.

"Mere Touman, what are you afraid of!"

This sentence was like a stone stirring up thousands of waves. The people in the tent looked at each other, and Wu Su, who was sitting in the leader's seat, laughed even more.

"He has [-] horses in his hands now, but what about you? You are talking such big words?"

"In that case, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Touman will soon find out that what he can get at the border of Zhao State at this moment is much more than he imagined, and he will continue to go south. Let's bet on how much spoils Touman can get during this trip?"

"I bet he'll lose everything!"

At this moment, outside the tent, a person walked into the big tent, whispered something in Wu Su's ear, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Wu Su looked at Zhao Shuang and asked.

"What's the stake?"

Zhao Shuang took out a night pearl from his sleeve and placed it in front of the crowd.

"The value of this bead is enough to exchange for a year's food for your tribe. And I still have ten such beads."

Zhao Shuang threw the luminous pearl to Wusu and continued talking.

"If I lose, the other ten will be offered together."

Holding the bead in his hand, Wu Su had a complicated expression on his face.He is very clear about the value of this luminous pearl, and he also knows that what the person in front of him said is true.

For a moment, he felt a little uneasy.

"What if we lose?"

"The entire descendant of the moon wolf, generation after generation, will become my slaves."

"What did you say!"

The situation in the big tent became tense again, and the descendants of the moon wolf present were all irritated by Zhao Shuang's words.

"If the leader is not willing, I will give you this night pearl as a token of sincerity for continued cooperation in the future. Or, the leader can make a big gamble and win the tribe's rations for ten years at a time, without being coerced by Touman again."

"Touman has sent a message just now. There is no trace of Zhao Jun in the northern part of Yunzhong County. As long as we move fast enough, we will be able to return with a full reward. Even if this is the case, do we still want to gamble?"

"I know better than the leader what is happening on the border of Zhao State at the moment."

Wu Su clenched the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, his voice was a bit suppressed, like a gambler going crazy before the opening.

"Okay, if you win, I swear in the name of the gods that all the women, warriors, horses, cattle, sheep, and slaves of the descendants of the moon wolf, including our lives, are yours."
