Spicy rivers and lakes!

When Li Dongqing went out early in the morning, he didn’t see Ning and Chen. He didn’t understand the language of the Huns, and he couldn’t learn it in a while, so he didn’t ask where Ning and Chen were. He went to feed the horses by himself. My spirit has recovered and I can eat normally.

General Xiaoqi's complexion was black and red, as if he had been sunburned all year round. He walked over and said stiffly, "Li Dongqing, the prince told you to come over."

Qianji neighed when he saw him, General Xiaoqi said, "You have a fine horse."

Li Dongqing ignored him and turned to leave, but he didn't know where to go, so he had to talk to him: "Where are you going?"

General Xiaoqi said, "I'll take you there."

Most of them, the Huns, could speak a few words of Chinese, but few could speak so much. Li Dongqing should have been close to him, but because of the accident, it was difficult to have a good relationship with him, and he might have to hold grudges for a while.

General Xiaoqi said, "My name is Kunmo."

"Kunmo," Li Dongqing said casually, "are you from the Kun tribe?"①

"Yes." He said, "I am the prince of the Kun clan."

Li Dongqing was indeed dumbfounded.

"I want to apologize to you for hurting your horse," said Kunmo.

"...Forget it," Li Dongqing said, "You Huns, you have many princes."

Kunmo said honestly: "Loufan, Baiyang, Henan, Chaona, Fushi, Dingling... I can't remember it. There are many ethnic groups, each with its own past, which is inevitable, but now Please obey the instructions of the Great Chanyu."

Li Dongqing was a little distracted, because it suddenly occurred to him that the Kun people seemed to be destroyed by the Da Yue clan, and the king of Kun was killed by the king of the Da Yue clan, and his child was still a baby, rescued and raised by Maodun Then, the Kun people also surrendered to the Great Chanyu.In this way, that child should be Kunmo.

Thinking about it again, the king of the Da Yue Clan is already dead. It seems that this Kunmo killed him?That's right, he killed the king of the Da Yue clan and had his head cut off to make a wine vessel.He severely avenged his father and king.

Li Dongqing had goosebumps all over her body, turned her head to look at Kunmo, saw that he had a young face, a little simple and honest, with dry lips, and smiled when he saw him looking at herself.

Kunmo said, "What's wrong?"

Li Dongqing: "...it's okay."

Here, no one can be messed with. Who would have thought that a general of Xiaoqi would have such a frightening past.

Kunmo didn't know what he was thinking, and said honestly: "There is something good tonight, you must come out of the tent to see it, and I will call you."

Li Dongqing asked: "What good thing?"

Kunmo just smiled but didn't answer.

When they arrived at the tent of the king's court, Yi Zhixie was sitting among a group of princes, some of whom Li Dongqing had never seen before.But I also guessed that the man with the big belly was the Aries King, and the rest were nothing more than his generals and captains.

Yi Zhixie called him up and said, "Liu Zhuo."

King Aries nodded at him, and Li Dongqing said, "The prince is looking for me?"

Yi Zhixie unfolded the map, pointed to Heshuo, and said, "I plan to take you to see your father. Follow Heshuo, follow the Yellow River, pass Yanmen, go deep into the grassland, and look for the king's tent where father is still patrolling. If there is an accident, it should be under the Yin Mountain."

Of course Li Dongqing didn't want to leave, but she could only look forward to it and said, "Okay."

Yi Zhixie said, "Let's go tomorrow."

Li Dongqing thought: "Isn't this the end?"

Whether Ning Hechen is reliable or not, Li Dongqing's heart is beating, why hasn't anyone come to rescue him yet?It has been almost ten days since Yi Zhixie was going to leave now, it was not sudden at all, he had been given enough time to think about it, and he was already able to bear his temper.

Ning Hechen didn't show up today, so he didn't know where he went, maybe he ran away by himself.

The King of Aries said in the Hun language: "Prince, I still think, or else don't go to Yanmen, go directly to the north, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Huh?" Yi Zhixie said, "No."

The Aries King asked, "Why?"

Yi Zhixie: "Don't ask too many questions."

Li Dongqing didn't understand and had nothing to do. The King of Aries didn't like it no matter what he looked at, and asked, "I came back from Yanmen, where there are many dangers. If you go to Yanmen for the sake of that Han, Da Shanyu won't you?" Agreed."

"Da Shanyu didn't expect that I found Liu Zhuo," Yi Zhixie said casually, "Isn't this a pleasant surprise? You can't be too greedy."

Aries King said: "...the key is not worth it."

Yi Zhixie: "You know?"

The King of Aries was furious immediately, turned his head and left.His official position is no longer under Yi Zhixie, he just thought of his bloodline.

Li Dongqing suddenly saw that the Aries King was gone, and asked, "Eh? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Yi Zhixie actually made great progress in his Chinese in the past two days. It can be seen that he really put in his efforts, and said to him, "I'm old and stubborn, I don't know what it means to be willing."

Li Dongqing said: "Your Chinese has improved a lot, and you can understand it."

"Your Hun language is also good." Yi Zhixie said this.

Li Dongqing was at a loss: "Huh? I don't know a word."

Yi Zhixie laughed, and Li Dongqing also laughed and said, "You are making fun of me."

Yi Zhixie said: "Tonight, there is a good show to watch."

"What exactly is it?" Li Dongqing asked, "I heard what Kunmo said."

"Oh," Yi Zhixie said with a smile, "you will know it at night."

They all pretended to be so mysterious, Li Dongqing naturally thought about the unspeakable aspects, but unexpectedly, in the evening, it was a smuggler who came.The businessman brought ten carriages of Chinese goods, and everyone surrounded them. Li Dongqing thought he had something good to go, but he saw Ning and Chen coming from a distance, wearing a white Xiongnu coat. People's clothes are suitable for everything and look good.

Li Dongqing ran over: "Where did you go during the day?"

"Sleeping." Ning Hechen said.

"Sleep in broad daylight?" Li Dongqing said.

Ning Hechen said: "It may be because of guarding a pig all night, I guess people need to sleep."

Li Dongqing smirked, pretending not to understand, pulled him up, and said, "Come and see something good."

The two squeezed outside, but Li Dongqing couldn't squeeze in by himself, so he pushed Ning Hechen in. Ning Hechen didn't want others to touch him, so Wu Yingshou immediately pushed away the person beside him, and was about to scold him when he turned around. Holly said disappointedly, "What's all this?"

Silk floss, rice, wine utensils, women's accessories.Even in Li Dongqing's village, this thing is too common. Li Dongqing was immediately uninterested, and Ning Hechen picked it out by twisting his ears. Ning Hechen said, "Is it wrong?"

Li Dongqing: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!"

Yi Zhixie's voice came from above. Standing on a high banner, he said loudly, "Xueman! You are so hard to wait!"

Li Dongqing was still being held by the ear, and he raised his eyes with difficulty and said, "What is he doing up there?"

Ning Hechen: "To say this."

Sure enough, Yi Zhixie jumped down, smiled and said to Ning Hechen, "I heard that you slept all day."

Ning Hechen said what Yi Zhixie wanted to hear: "Good work."

Yi Zhixie said modestly: "Compared to you, of course it is like a newborn puppy meeting a wolf, nothing compares!"

"Your example is also very good." Ning Hechen said, "But it is not appropriate, you are too humble."

Yi Zhixie laughed loudly and said, "Xueman, I've settled down, we'll leave tomorrow, go to Yanmen first, you can do what you want, I'll bring [-] elite soldiers to relieve you worry about the future!"

"Wait a minute," Li Dongqing said with her ears still in Ning Hechen's hands, "you two talk, let go first."

Ning Hechen didn't seem to hear, and said to Yi Zhixie with a smile, "Thank you, King Zuoguli."②

Yi Zhixie laughed loudly: "You're welcome."

He really has a masculine arrogance in him. Among the many people Li Dongqing met along the way, he only thinks that he is the most like an upright man, masculine, but like a hero, not like a hero.

"Xueman," Yi Zhixie said with a smile, "The moonlight on the prairie is beautiful tonight, let's go for a walk!"

Li Dongqing felt something was wrong.Ever since Yi Zhixie saw Ning Hechen for the first time, her gaze on Ning Hechen was very sticky, very strange, as if an eagle saw a mouse while patrolling the sky, Ning Hechen let Li Dongqing go, and said :"OK."

"Go back and reflect," Ning Hechen warned him, "don't come out."

Li Dongqing's ears were burning with pain, and she looked at Yi Zhixie warily, and Ning Hechen asked him, "Are you deaf or dumb?"

Seeing Yi Zhixie politely asking Ning Hechen to get on the horse, with earnest eyes, he took Ning Hechen to sit firmly before going back and getting on the horse, and chased them out.

Li Dongqing felt weird and a little inexplicable, but he seemed to understand something in his heart.

Kunmo passed him carrying two bags of rice, Li Dongqing made way for him, but Kunmo threw a bag to him and said, "Here you are."

Li Dongqing: "?"

"Apologies," Kunmo said.

"I don't blame you," Li Dongqing no longer wanted to pursue it. "It's not just your fault. I was angry with you two days ago. I couldn't figure it out. You don't need to care about it."

Kunmo said: "Speak slowly, I don't understand much."

Li Dongqing: "Take it back, I don't want it."

"Here you are," Kunmo said, "the one who feeds the horses. Good horses can be fed to excellent ones, and they can travel hundreds of miles a day."

Li Dongqing: "Even if Qianji eats gold, he can't run a hundred miles. I don't want rice. It's too heavy. Take it away!"

Kunmo understood these words, so he picked up the rice and said, "I'll go."

Li Dongqing had no choice but to follow him and watch him put Mi Kang into the stable, but she couldn't refuse.Kunmo untied the rice bag, threw it into the trough, and said to him, "The prince should have punished me with a cane, but if you speak nice words to him, I don't have to."

"Oh," Li Dongqing said, "it's true, just pour less, I've never eaten such good rice."

Kunmo laughed and said, "You Han!"

Li Dongqing also laughed, and Kunmo said to him, "I like Han people."

At this time, Li Dongqing was unavoidably a little sensitive and took precautions, but Kunmo said: "I have a Han Chinese Taifu. After my father died, he brought me to Maodun Shanyu, so I survived. I like Han people." ,grateful."

"It turns out that's the case," Li Dongqing said, "It's also divided into people, not all of them."

Kunmo: "You are good to horses, and you are also a good person."

Li Dongqing said: "I can't afford it."

Kunmo didn't take it seriously, the two brothers hugged his shoulders nicely, and said to him, "I have something good tonight, come with me."

"No," Li Dongqing said honestly, "I'm going to go back and reflect on myself, for fear of being beaten."

Kunmo didn't understand, and said to himself, "I won't beat you up!"

A bonfire was lit in the prairie, and hundreds of people were dancing around the blaze. The prairie was vast, and the voice of the Huns was extremely rich. Looking at the end of the road, I can only see a piece of darkness, Ning and Chen still haven't come back?What are we talking about.

It seems that I haven't been away for a long time, Li Dongqing thought again.

He was pulled out, but he couldn't sing or dance, so he could only clap his hands, and gradually became interested. Until this time, the main action had just begun.

Three women, wearing only one animal skin, were pulled over and fell in the middle of the campfire.

The atmosphere on the grassland was instantly ignited, and Li Dongqing was instantly stunned.

The woman screamed and crawled back desperately, her body was almost naked, and her key parts were exposed during the movements, and the crowd seemed to be ignited.Several bear-like Huns surrounded him, Li Dongqing knew these people, he had seen them in Yi Zhixie's tent.

Li Dongqing stood up suddenly, and finally understood what kind of carnival it was.

King Aries won another battle in Dai County, and brought back noble and beautiful women.And the Huns will occupy these women, in Mutiano/He.

This is a celebration dinner.

Li Dongqing was trembling all over, and his head was buzzing. Kunmo was beside him, shaking his shoulders with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"

How did the Han people and the Huns be friends?

What is the rule of the Xiongnu: Brothers end up with younger brothers, fathers die and sons succeed, the winner is king, and the loser is bandit.They don't even feel that raping/killing a woman like this is a heinous crime!

Li Dongqing's hands and feet trembled. He slowly stretched out his hand and held the scimitar around Kunmo's waist.

Kunmo: "?"

Kunmo held his hand silently, looked at him with dark eyes and said, "What are you doing?"

Li Dongqing said: "...I can't."

"I'm sorry," Ning Hechen's voice came from behind, his chest was pressed against Li Dongqing's back, and he put one hand on Kunmo's hand, suppressing him, and said, "My little friend is not big. Comfortable."

He grabbed Li Dongqing forcefully and pulled him two steps away. Li Dongqing struggled to break free from Ning Hechen's shackles, but Ning Hechen slapped him backhanded and shouted: "Wake up!"

Li Dongqing was beaten head-empty by him, and asked him: "What do you care about me?"

"I told you to go back to the tent and wait for me." Ning Hechen said calmly.

The sound that came into my ears at this time was the cry of a woman, that sound was like a real fire, burning Li Dongqing, and he mourned.

Ning Hechen didn't wait for Li Dongqing to react, and hit him with a knife, Li Dongqing fell down with a muffled sound.Yi Zhixie was still outside the crowd, looking at Ning and Chen with her hands behind her back.

Ning Hechen picked up Li Dongqing and passed him, Yi Zhixie said, "On our grassland, there is such a saying."

Ning Hechen stopped in his tracks, and heard Yi Zhixie say: "Good intentions are like fire, if you don't fight, you will die." ③

Yi Zhixie turned around and asked him, "Xueman, you have to know that he is the hostage you brought back, and he is the one you want to hand over to Da Shanyu."

Ning Hechen asked back: "So what?"

"He won't have a good result," Yi Zhixie said, "No matter where he stands, there will be no end. In the end, there will only be a dead end. On that day, if I let you kill him, what about you?"

"King Zuoguli, you made a mistake in saying this sentence," Ning Hechen said, "I remember that sentence is 'A soldier is like a fire, not a general'. I have read too much, you lied to me. Not me."④

Yi Zhixie: "My mother told me, maybe she was wrong. I walked alone in the grassland, and my mother was always afraid that I would cut my flesh to feed eagles, and feed myself to tigers."

Ning Hechen was silent for a moment. He wanted to say something, but he just said lightly, "Got it."

late at night.

Li Dongqing woke up in a burst of pain, Ning Hechen turned over the wolf fur he sewed in his hands, a stove was lit in the tent, and the fire light flickered on his face, looking very quiet.

Li Dongqing sat up silently without speaking.

Ning Hechen looked at him coldly, and Li Dongqing was also angry, feeling helpless and very annoyed.

Li Dongqing said: "This wolf skin is about to be sewn up."

"I see." Ning Hechen said casually.

Li Dongqing hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to ask what happened to those women, because he knew it well.

Ning Hechen stopped him for his own good, but he was doing evil if he stood by and watched because he was stopped.

He leaned over to the stove, moved closer to Ning and Chen, picked up the wolf skin, and covered his lap.After a while, he asked, "What did Yi Zhixie tell you?"

Ning Hechen stared at him: "You don't hate me anymore?"

"I don't blame you," Li Dongqing said, "It's because I have no skills, and only people who have no skills lose their temper."

"No matter how good you are, you can't do what you like arbitrarily," Ning Hechen said, looking at the wolf fur, seemingly in a daze, "the world has its own rules."

Li Dongqing said: "Then change this rule."

Ning Hechen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Idiot."

Notes:

①: After the Qin Dynasty and before Zhang Qian’s mission to the Western Regions, the Wusun family was named Kun, and the name Wusun only appeared after the spread of Han and Zhang Qian;

②: Character: King Zuoguli, read: zuolu (four tones) li (two tones) Wang Yizhixie's official position, under the left and right virtuous kings;

③: The meaning of Yi Zhixie’s theory is: having kindness towards people is like fire, and if you don’t stop it in time, you will burn yourself.

What Ning Hechen said was the original sentence, meaning: foreign wars are like fire, if you don't stop in time, you will burn yourself.

Then by the way, Yuezhi, read: yuezhi (sound)

Yanshi, read: yan (sound) zhi (sound), equivalent to the queen of the Han Dynasty.

Maodun, read: mo (four tones) du (two tones).
