At that time, the sky was dark, and the victims all carried torches and lanterns to catch fish better. From a distance, it looked like a long swimming dragon swimming from one end of the river to the other.

Jun Shaoyou stood up, nodded his feet and looked in the direction of the river.Someone on the shore was already waiting impatiently, and raised his voice and asked, "What happened?"

Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting in the river.Because they were far away and there were too many people talking, it was hard to tell the number under the noise.He could only vaguely hear the words "Yi people... on the other side... in a coma...".

Watching the fishing boat slowly approaching the shore, Zhuang Lin's expression became more and more calm.Jun Shaoyou stretched out his hand to grab a victim beside him, and said, "Go back to the gate of the city and find General Xu who built the city wall, and tell him that there is a situation on the shore, and ask him to bring some soldiers over."

The man nodded, turned and ran away.

The disaster victims here have already assembled under Zhuang Lin's organization, and there are hussar battalion soldiers who are following along to join in the fun, so 800 people are looking at the river aggressively.

But after a cup of tea, the cruise ship docked.A dozen or so stout men got off the boat pressing several tall people.The clothes of those people were similar to those of the Huns on the grassland, except that the clothes were more expensive.Their faces were purple and blood was all over their bodies. One of them was unconscious, while the others seemed to be awake, but they were not struggling hard.One of the men holding him said: "We were fishing in the river, and we felt something moving on the other side of the river. So the bird touched it quietly, and saw some of them sneaking around. All the brothers suppressed them along the way. coming."

This group of people was the soldiers of the hussars battalion, and because they were used to being ordered by Jun Shaoyou to hunt and eat extra along the way, they also went fishing this time.I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the end.

The man paused.He smiled and said, "This is a big fish."

Zhuang Lin looked at the suppressed Huns and asked, "Are there just a few of them?"

The man replied: "Zheng Laosan has already led a team to the other side of the river to search, but it seems that there is no one else."

After all, the soldiers who went out to patrol the city only returned to the city. If there were soldiers and horses assembled before, Zhuang Lin would not be unaware.

Zhuang Lin nodded and said nothing, and asked a few Huns who were held up: "Who are you, and when did you reach the other side?"

Several Huns looked at each other, their eyes flickering, but they all remained silent.

Zhuang Lin sneered, and directly ordered: "Take him back to the camp."

He also ordered many disaster victims to return to the ruined temple immediately to resettle them, so as to avoid further troubles.

Jun Shaoyou asked Zhuang Lin to take the Huns back to torture him first, while he stayed behind to help the victims withdraw as soon as possible.Zhuang Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally returned to the camp with the prisoners first.

This side, Jun Shaoyou organized the victims to collect fishing boats and equipment, and brought back all kinds of fish, shrimps, river crabs, etc., and ordered the soldiers of the hussars battalion to extinguish the fire. Many victims have been used to these tasks along the way. , Naturally, he is familiar with the road.But after a cup of tea, he packed up and turned around quickly.On the way, I saw Xu Huaiyi and a group of soldiers rushing over from outside the city.Jun Shaoyou ordered the people from the hussars battalion to escort the victims back to the ruined temple and count the number of people, while he stayed and explained the matter to Xu Huaiyi.

In fact, there is nothing to explain.It was just gathering up and repeating what the victims had just said, another team of the Hussar Battalion was still patrolling the other side of the river, and hadn't turned back at this moment.What Jun Shaoyou knew was also limited.

Xu Huaiyi listened quietly, and then asked a few questions about Jun Shaoyou's words, mainly asking the hussar battalion who went to the other side of the river to search. After Jun Shaoyou answered one by one, Xu Huaiyi began to persuade Jun Shaoyou Return to the city first.After all, Jun Shaoyou is an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to help the victims, and has a special status. Xu Huaiyi doesn't want him to stay here.In order to avoid a momentary mistake, it is difficult to explain.Jun Shaoyou also understood Xu Huaiyi's thoughts, and didn't mean to embarrass him. After explaining clearly, he obediently returned to the city under the guard of the soldiers.

He has already passed the age of sophomore.Naturally understand that if you want to win the respect and trust of others, you don't just talk about it.Now, do your duty honestly and don't cause trouble for others.

When Jun Shaoyou returned to Daying, Zhuang Lin was not in the tent.A few feet away from Zhuang Lin's camp, the big tent of Commander Lin Hui was brightly lit, but noisy with people, and occasionally a few words from outsiders could be heard.Presumably, many generals were interrogating the captured prisoners.There are more squads of soldiers coming and going on patrol, one post at five steps, one post at ten steps, the armor on his body and the knife in his hand emit a gloomy light under the light of the stars, the atmosphere is very dignified Jun Shaoyou quietly in the tent After sitting quietly for a while, the tent was empty, and the sound of candles cracking could be heard. Looking at the curling green smoke rising from the wick, Jun Shaoyou suddenly felt lonely.

He was silent for a moment, got up and took out a roll of parchment from the cage, and slowly spread it out in front of the huge desk. It was the topographic map of the Qilian Mountains from the northwest frontier to the depths of the grassland.Compared with the volume he gave Zhuang Lin half a year ago, this volume of maps is more detailed.The added parts are all the information he obtained through Zhuang Lin's channels in the past six months, combined with the occasional flashes in his memory, and slowly supplemented.

Jun Shaoyou knelt behind the desk, his face pondering.Although he only had a face-to-face meeting with those captives of the Northern Huns, Jun Shaoyou still remembered that they were dressed differently from ordinary people.It should be known that the Northern Huns were a nomadic people who lived in Yishui and lived by raising cattle and sheep.Their way of life doomed the nation's backwardness in agriculture and handicrafts.Therefore, most of the ordinary Huns wore leather or coarse cloth clothes, and there were definitely a few who could wear brocade and silk.Not to mention that the accessories on the unconscious man turned out to be...

Jun Shaoyou frowned, pulled a piece of rice paper from the side, and carefully drew the accessories of the unconscious man in his memory on the paper.Although some places were covered by stains and blood, Jun Shaoyou was familiar with the pattern and knew that it should be a golden eagle flying high.

The coat of arms of the royal family of the Northern Huns.

It's just that such a group of people, how could they touch the other side of the border city without making a sound.In his previous life, it seemed that such a thing had never happened.

Jun Shaoyou wondered secretly, but he forgot that in his previous life, Jun Shaoyou had never rushed to the northwest for disaster relief, let alone leading a group of victims to fish on the river.At that time, it was cold in the northwest, tense border relations, strict curfews at night, no idlers were allowed to leave the city, and patrol officers and soldiers would not easily run to the other side of the river to search at night, so they missed such a big fish.

Jun Shaoyou frowned and thought about it, and went through all the names and surnames of the later Northern Huns royal family in his mind, secretly trying to figure out the identities of those people.While he was meditating, he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent, Zhuang Lin lifted the curtain and entered, and said, "Shaoyou, I remember you brought some—"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the roll of map and some rice paper on the case table, and was taken aback for a moment.

After Jun Shaoyou heard the words, he calmly continued, "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Lin didn't answer, and walked up to him, carefully looking at the things on the case table.After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said: "The man who was unconscious is the great prince of the Northern Huns, and the rest of them are his personal guards. It is said that they were chased and killed. They chased and fled all the way to the border of our country."

Jun Shaoyou suddenly thought of the battle to protect the country in his previous life.The reason is that the eldest prince of the Northern Huns, Kru, and his guards died tragically on the border of Dachu, which caused the Northern Huns to share the same hatred. Three years later, the second prince suddenly succeeded to the throne. Approaching the Central Plains, Da Chu's court was in a panic.Jun Shaoyou was also ordered in the face of danger during the battle to protect the country, went north to the battlefield, and finally forcibly dug a piece of meat from under the wings of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion.

Thinking about this, Jun Shaoyou blinked, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brothers are fighting against the wall, causing misfortune to flow eastward."

Zhuang Lin smiled but looked at the rice paper with a picture of a golden eagle on it with a deep expression on his face.

Jun Shaoyou said: "The unconscious man is the great prince of the Northern Huns."

Zhuang Lin nodded and said, "Thank you for this matter. If you hadn't brought those victims and the five thousand hussars battalion over, you might not have found this person."

Zhuang Lin lived a new life, so he naturally remembered the reason for the battle to protect the country in his previous life.

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou shook his head and chuckled lightly, "I wanted to catch a few small fish for a tooth sacrifice, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish."

After a pause, he asked, "What does General Lin mean?"

Zhuang Lin shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle means, I still want to listen to the performance, please Your Majesty to decide."

Jun Shaoyou understands.Although there is an ancient saying that "the general is outside, and the king's life is not accepted".But since ancient times, the emperors have monopolized power, and the most taboo are those who act on their own and don't listen to orders.Moreover, the matter of capturing the great prince of the Northern Huns involved diplomacy between the two states, and it was not purely military.It is also reasonable for Lin Hui to ask the emperor to teach himself.

It's just that Da Chu has always regarded himself as a kingdom of heaven, and Emperor Yongqian is the kind of person who cherishes feathers and invites fame for his meritorious deeds.I am afraid that the final conclusion may be to show benevolence and righteousness by returning the tiger to the mountain, or to reprimand it without pain, at most to force the Northern Huns to cease fighting.I'm afraid that even the matter of asking for medical expenses can't save face.

Zhuang Lin sighed softly, probably also thinking of Jun Shaoyou's thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Jun Shaoyou said again: "You just came in, what do you want to say?"

Zhuang Lin came back to his senses and said, "I remember that when you came to the northwest, you brought a lot of medicinal materials for nourishing qi and blood. Can you lend me some?"

Jun Shaoyou smiled and said: "That's natural. After all, no matter how big this fish is, it has to be alive to be useful. If it dies, it will be a big trouble."

After finishing speaking, he took out some old ginseng, blood swallow and some common medicinal materials for nourishing qi and fitness from the cage, and said, "I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Zhuang Lin knew that Jun Shaoyou had a cruel mind and a deep city, so he often took the wrong side of his sword and thought of things that others dared not think of.Unconsciously asked expectantly: "Tell me."

When Jun Shaoyou heard the words, he curled his lips into a smile and said, "Take the Son of Heaven to order the princes."

Zhuang Lin's heart moved, and he blurted out, "You mean..."

Jun Shaoyou smiled calmly and said, "As the saying goes, a teacher who is famous is the one who is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Now the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu is old and sick, several princes are busy fighting for the throne, and the northwestern royal court is fighting endlessly. The second prince suddenly has a sinister nature, hurts brothers and feet, and is very brave and ruthless. If he is allowed to ascend the throne, I am afraid that my Da Chu will never have peace. The eldest prince is gentle in nature and admires my literary talent. If my Da Chu sends troops to assist Da Chu The prince ascended the throne and sent many literati to the Northern Huns to spread enlightenment, presumably after a few years, they will be able to turn hostility into friendship."
