Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The old Hou Ye was not confused, he almost got carried away when his son killed the Hun King, but he still remembered the true whereabouts of Zhu Zhenliang's "disappearance" that his grandson said.

He was clearly going to Langya Mountain to search for treasures, so why did he go to the tent of the Huns in less than ten days?

Could it be that Zhu Zhenliang was indeed not in Langya Mountain, but he was going for the Hun King from the beginning to the end?

But this analysis does not make sense.

Winter and October were not the time of war in the northern border. Although the Xiongnu were jealous of the grain and cotton clothes sent to Xianbei by the Dajing court, they only fought a few small battles in the border areas in an attempt to snatch some supplies.This was not enough to constitute the reason for the great war. Even if Zhu Zhenliang was impatient with these little guys, he would not choose this time to kill the Hun King.

But the victory report will never lie about the results of the battle. The Hun King did die in the hands of Zhu's army.

What actually happened was not as natural as what was said in the good news.

Zhu Dingbei couldn't think of the reason why, so he just said: "Father didn't let the scouts bring the news together, I think he will gain something in Langya Mountain. In these two days, the news should come back, and Grandpa will Wait patiently with me for two days, if you don't get it disappeared, it's not too late to ask."

we can only do this.

Old Hou Ye rubbed his knees and agreed with a smile.

At this time, Xianbei Mansion was in command.

Lady Gao changed Zhu Zhenliang's wound medicine and left without disturbing his discussion with the lieutenant general.

Gu Chao'an and Zhu Xiang have not been idle for the past two days. The death of the Hun King is of course a great achievement, but it also means a lot of trouble.In order to prevent the Huns from recklessly counterattacking, Zhu's army's major garrisons in Xianbei stepped up their border defense deployments, and immediately arranged for people to report the matter to Pingzhou, Liangzhou, and deployed defenses with them.

Zhu Zhenliang's injury was not as serious as the scouts said. After returning to the army, he only gave some hasty orders and passed out. He didn't recover his sanity until this morning.

At this time, Gu Chao'an had the opportunity to ask him about the cause and effect.

Zhu Zhenliang woke up this morning and wrote a letter home with his sick body, telling about his experience and gains. Before the letter could be sent away in the future, after hearing Gu Chaoan's question, he gave the letter to the two of them. Look, I am concentrating on drinking medicine.

Gu Chao'an had ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he couldn't help but read it again.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly urged: "Master Military Advisor, are you optimistic?"

Gu Chao'an handed him the letter, and said to Zhu Zhenliang with emotion: "Unexpectedly, the Mixin we thought was almost captured by the Huns."

But Zhu Xiang yelled loudly: "Impossible, how could the Huns know about my Dajing's top-secret treasure? They even came to Langya Mountain directly!"

Zhu Zhenliang wrote exactly this in his letter.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to go back and forth to the Hun King's tent in just seven or eight days, and he successfully planned to kill the cautious and ruthless Hun King with only a few people.It is completely the Huns who threw themselves into the gate of hell!

He led his troops into battle that day, and he knew the Xianbei internal thieves well, so he deliberately fell into their trap and made it difficult to fight. Taking advantage of the chaos, he took ten soldiers to Langya Mountain in Jiaohe County.Zhu Jiajun had found something suspicious in the tomb of a generation of chiefs in Langya Mountain. Zhu Zhenliang was afraid that there was something hidden there, so he decided to lead his troops to deal with it privately.

Even if there is an emergency at that time, he will be able to decide whether to give up this so-called treasure and bury it completely.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, a group of people was one step faster than them, and went deep into the chief's tomb.

Could it be the King of the Huns and his party!

The Xiongnu King also had his own concerns. He obviously knew that the matter of stealing treasures in Dajing territory could not be publicized, so he didn't bring many people. This gave Zhu Zhenliang an opportunity to take advantage of it!

The praying mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. Zhu Zhenliang beheaded the Hun King, leaving one of his cronies alive.

However, the confidants don’t know much about it. They only know that the royal family of the Huns knew that Dajing’s mountain of gold and silver treasures had been seized by a certain chief of the Xianbei tribe for a long time. , and this year, he discovered that Sima Yuqi and Zhu Jiajun's troops had moved in Langya Mountain one after another, so he sent troops to create chaos on the border, and sneaked into Langya Mountain under cover to seize the treasure first.

What he didn't expect was that this border turmoil not only gave him excellent cover, but also provided Zhu Zhenliang with a good opportunity.

The head of the King of the Huns was an unexpected joy of this trip, and it excited Zhu Zhenliang even more than what Zhu Zhenliang brought out from the chieftain's tomb.

Gu Chaoan continued: "Commander, you said you only found a map in the tomb?"

"Ah."

Zhu Zhenliang didn't hide it either, and directly took out a piece of tattered sheepskin from under the pillow, and handed it to Gu Chao'an.

When the military adviser took it, he saw that the sheepskin was broken in several places. He rubbed it several times in disbelief, but he didn't see any patterns on the sheepskin, and the map drawn on the sheepskin could not find the route at all. He widened his eyes and said : "Boss, you... didn't take it wrong?"

"Fuck me, there's nothing but a pile of gold and jewels in there!"

He felt so depressed when he thought of getting such a rag after half a year. Fortunately, there was a Hun king who fell on it, otherwise he would have suffered a lot.

Gu Chao'an still couldn't accept it, and said, "It shouldn't be."

Zhu Zhenliang was more open-minded than him. He was the most down-to-earth man, and he never thought that pies would fall from the sky, so he comforted him: "Forget it, I don't know if this treasure is real or not. If it really exists, then It's all right now, no one will try to find it, and we won't suffer a loss."

He just said, if the Xianbei tribe really had treasures comparable to the Dajing treasury left by the founding emperor of Dajing, how could it be possible to keep them until they came to pick them up.

It turned out that this ghost map had already been turned into a rag.

The chief really couldn't think about it, and he was unwilling to let this rag be buried with him until he died. Could it be possible that before he died, he could still dream that he was lying on a mountain of gold and silver.

Zhu Xiang just leaned over and took a look, expressed his surprise at the damage of the sheepskin, and then said: "Commander, how do you send this letter back?"

"Find a reliable scout and send it back together with this rag."

Zhu Zhenliang pressed his chest that was still hurting - the Hun King really wasn't a vegetarian, even if he succeeded in sneak attack, he still stabbed himself when he was dying.

Gu Chao'an's dim eyebrows lit up again, and he said: "This is great, maybe this sheepskin is a rag to us, but it can turn into treasures in the hands of that old gentleman."

"Haha, the military master is in a daze."

Zhu Zhenliang laughed and said: "Your wife hasn't saved enough? I heard Madam said that His Majesty rewarded me with a lot of money. If you don't have enough money to get married, brother, I will forgive you."

Gu Chao'an ignored him and handed the tattered sheepskin to Zhu Xiang, not forgetting to ask him to keep it carefully.

Zhu Xiang left, Gu Chao'an was still a little bit lost, Zhu Zhenliang wondered: "Why is the military master so obsessed with that treasure? Even if we really found it, we don't have the life to enjoy it. In the end, it's not a state treasury. Old man Li has always been at odds with us, there is so much gold and silver, I don’t know how much money can be spent on our Zhu family’s army.”

Gu Chaoan sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's not gold and silver."

"what is that?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhu Zhenliang revealed a hint of deep meaning in his rough eyebrows, he said: "Military teacher, what can you say to me?"

Gu Chaoan came back to his senses, seeing Zhu Zhenliang becoming suspicious, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm paranoid. It's nothing... I just heard by accident when I was young that this treasure contains the biggest secret of our Dajing imperial family. Just curious."

"...If you don't want to tell the truth, I just don't ask you."

Zhu Zhenliang rolled his eyes, coaxing him with such words, even a three-year-old child might not listen.

Gu Chao'an took a deep breath. When he was young, he did hear that person mentioning the treasure, and the secret of... the Emperor Taizu's ascension to the throne that made the Sima royal family obsessed throughout the generations.

Because Zhu Zhenliang had been in a coma for two days, Zhu Dingbei made a mistake in judging the time when the news came back.

The grandfather and grandson waited in Luojing for two full days without any movement. The old Hou Ye couldn't wait any longer and sent a hidden person in the mansion to Xianbei Mansion to find out. After the man left for a day, Zhu Zhenliang's personal letter was stolen. The scouts brought them into Zhenbeihou's mansion.

After the grandpa and grandson saw it, they were also amazed.

The old Hou Ye sighed: "It seems that the Hun King, like his father, has the fate of becoming the emperor but not keeping the throne."

Zhu Dingbei said with a smile: "The Huns were in a mess. The three Hun kings in a row didn't live past the age of 40. The first one was killed by the previous Hun king. He died in the hands of my grandfather. As for his son, it took a lot of effort to sit in this position. I just don't know who is sitting in the next one."

Zhu Dingbei groped carefully on the tattered sheepskin, thoughtful.

In the previous life, the Hun King lived to be over 60 years old. Under his leadership, the power of the Huns rose sharply in the next [-] years, which put the Dajing border into crisis several times.

He never thought that in this life, he would die like this.

It seems that in the last life, the Huns who followed Sima Yuqi must have discovered Langya Mountain.But at most they took away the gold and silver treasures buried with him. As for...Zhu Dingbei looked down at the rags in his hand, the other party probably didn't even look at the so-called treasure map.

If his guess is correct, the former Emperor Zhenyuan relied on Sima Yuqi to obtain the treasure—then, there must be a mystery hidden in this tattered sheepskin.

The old Hou Ye is still worried about the problem he just mentioned. It is really uncertain who will be the next king of the Xiongnu: "I just hope that they will make the noise bigger, and maybe they can also cause a change in Fengqi Mountain. , made it almost dead, and the one that went up is not a concern."

"Grandpa, what are you thinking?"

Zhu Dingbei couldn't help laughing at him, and while putting away the tattered sheepskin, he said, "Although the Hun King is dead, you forgot, who did he rely on to become the throne?"

The old Hou Ye never forgot about the situation of the Huns, and immediately said: "That old hag, Hu Erduo?! She doesn't want to be the king of the Huns, does she?"

He almost forgot about this person!

This Empress Dowager Hu Erduo had a very strange position in the Xiongnu. The reason why he didn't think of this person for a while was because this woman, who was a few years older than him, fell silent after she came to power as the Hunnu king.She was so peaceful that he almost forgot the power of this woman's minions!

Zhu Dingbei shook his head: "She's too old, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold back those younger ones. Didn't the Hun King keep a few sons, the oldest one should be seven years old? Maybe he wanted to choose from among them. One comes out and listens to the government behind the curtain."

The Xiongnu have a strong folk custom, so they have the custom of inheriting their father and wife, and brothers inheriting their brothers and sisters-in-law.

In the eyes of the Huns, wives are private property that can be inherited.

What is not so simple about this woman, Hu Erduo, is that she married the then King of the Huns as a concubine at the age of 15, and within 30 years, she became the official wife of two Kings of the Huns!The birth mother of a Hun king!And this Xiongnu king was supported by her to the throne.The importance of this woman in the Xiongnu cannot be underestimated. She is now 68 years old, and Zhu Dingbei has no doubt that she still has the energy to train the next Hun king to the level of being independent.

He could remember that this woman lived to be 80 years old before she was willing to die.

Old Master Zhu stroked his beard and said, "If this woman is dealt with first...the Xiongnu's water will be muddied."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows and said, "Just let Dad try."

Old Hou Ye was surprised: "Grandson thinks your father can't kill that old hag?"

Zhu Dingbei did not speak, but sighed.

In the previous life, Zhu Jiajun never thought of killing the woman and breaking the arm of the Hun King, but... until the woman died of old age, they failed.

She is so cunning.

Like a nine-tailed fox.
