Chapter 8 The sixth chapter: The court's black hand reaches out to the north outside the pass to conspire to trap the general

Meng Tian's whereabouts were clearly detected by his opponent. It was an invisible black hand hiding in the deep palace, and it was the black hand who wanted to put him to death and then quickly.The secret envoy of Kyoto, the fast horse gallops between the capital and northern Xinjiang.In a secret place, under the shady curtain, the secret envoy from Kyoto, Chang Qingguang, and Amusin discussed how to deal with Meng Tian who was going to the Huns.The Huns traffickers found Meng Tian in Sanshui Town... After driving out of the castle, the mountains and mountains behind you gradually fade away, and there is an open grassland and Gobi in front of you.The sky in the north is filled with desert smoke in front of the distant Red Mountain, and further away in the desert wasteland, the tornado like a skyrocketing pillar has not yet formed a climate.Dust adheres to the sky more delicately than water clouds, and the leylines of the earth begin to sway dazzlingly in the illusory world. When the climate is formed, it is more like a mirage, swallowing up a fast ride alive.

A secret envoy from the capital of Qin appeared frequently in the northern region, bringing a trace of ominousness and mystery to the Yanyanrong people who had been attached to Great Qin for a long time.The Yanyanrong tribe is weak, often living in dark hills and light grasslands with hundreds of tribes.In case of accident, they can always escape into the nearby bushes and forests as soon as possible to avoid danger.The secret envoys from Kyoto passed by here several times, and the Yanyanrong people were used to this, and they were no longer frightened.They would often watch the secret envoys from the capital drive far away, in addition to being puzzled, they were vigilant and speculated: Who is such a handsome and elegant horse, a master dressed in black and tightly wrapped?What are you doing?This man comes and goes in a hurry, the people are very hospitable but he never stays here.

That horse is so handsome, tall, slender, white and slightly green, good at stealth.The people of Yanyan are good at raising horses, so of course they know that this horse is a peerless horse. It was born in the grasslands of the Western Regions under high weather and snowy weather, and it is a rare poor horse.Some people speculate that it is the thousand-mile horse of the great herdsman Luo who is famous all over the world in the nearby Wuzhi County and has a pasture of hundreds of miles.Rich people like to show off, and this person rides this BMW that Yan Yanren can't earn in a few lifetimes for a stroll back and forth... It was not until the end that Yan Yan heard that this person was a secret envoy from Kyoto.

It's just that before leaving this time, the master who hurried back home was extremely sneaky in the dark night.It was almost time to turn off the lights, and the secret envoy from Kyoto was about to wash his feet and take a rest when a house slave pushed in the door and said, "The master wants you to go over..." In this humble mansion, everyone can only obey the master's arrangement, never Do not ask "what's the matter" and the like.Of course, the secret envoy from Kyoto would not ask a servant who only sent messages.Knowing that the master called him in the middle of the night, he must be going to perform a mission, and then he dressed neatly, black windbreaker, black hood, and walked out of his hut with a sharp sword in his hand.He didn't go to see his master right away, but came to the stable nearby.The BMW was fed by him alone next to the hut, and the other bad horses would never be disturbed.The secret envoy from Kyoto brought a bucket of well water and put it beside the trough. The horse stretched its head over humanly, sniffed at its owner, and then stretched out its lips to drink.It also understands that it has to get up and set off again.The secret envoy from Kyoto neatly tied up the saddle bridge, reached out from his waist, took out a piece of mushroom mixed concentrate and stuffed it into the horse's mouth, and the horse immediately chewed and swallowed greedily.

After preparing all these, the Kyoto secret envoy strode into the master's room.There was no owner in the house, and the secret envoy from Kyoto came straight to a small, inconspicuous doorway, knocked lightly, and the door opened in response.After the Kyoto secret envoy entered the house, the door returned to its original state.Under the faint shadow of the lamp, an old man in his fifties was sitting on the couch, leaning on the table with one hand, the only halo enveloped him, like a ghost from hell.The secret envoy from Kyoto didn't kneel down, but just acted crisply, bowed his head and cupped his fists, and made an ordinary salute: "Master, please order."

"Depart overnight and send this to Yanziwu in the Northland. Thank you for your hard work!" "Your subordinate will set off now." "Remember, you have the right to know the content of this operation. The source of the information is reliable. You two have full authority to handle this matter. If necessary, remind Chang and tell him not to do stupid things. If it affects the interests of the organization, be careful of his head." The voice of the man was not loud, but it was deep and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty. "The subordinate understands."

"You go!" The short conversation ended like this.The secret envoy of Kyoto quietly pulled out the BMW from the back door, stepped on it and headed straight for the city gate. He just drove out just as the city gate was about to close, and soon disappeared into the night.Only the sound of horseshoes playing on the porcelain road in the suburbs of Beijing reverberated for a long time. When the sun rises, the haze and mist are washed away by the glare of the sun, and the fields in the morning are extremely refreshing and pleasant.The horse driven by the secret envoy of Kyoto was sweating a little. He felt sorry for the horse, so he couldn't help slowing down the reins, and slowly came to the small river. "Wow—" Qing Cong Bai stopped the hooves.The secret envoy from Kyoto jumped off his horse and found that the shape of the mountain was very strange and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he decided to leave as soon as possible. "Haha, what a beautiful horse." The secret envoy from the capital cupped his fists in a salute without haste, "I'm really sorry, I don't know if I have made any mistakes, and I hope to forgive you. I will thank you with gold in the future." The person with status stepped forward He patted the Jingdu secret envoy's shoulder and said: "You don't need to thank the gold minister, the horse, I am going to order it, I have summoned it for a long time. Come, let me take the horse away." The Jingdu secret envoy's face was ashen, but still Holding back, seeing the attendant about to take the reins from his hand: "You, you are too shameless!" With the knife in his hand, the arm that took the reins was cut off, blood gushed out like a column, and then died Call down.The secret envoy from Kyoto stopped hesitating, sealed his throat with a knife and saw blood, and made repeated moves like wind, and the Huns didn't even have a chance to escape.Before he died, the person with status had to admire: "Good sword skills..." The "blue field green" on the neck turned into "chicken blood red" after being soaked in blood, which lasted for a long time.The secret envoy of Kyoto grabbed it and put it around his neck, then got on his horse and rode away.

Through the dust of history, people will inadvertently discover that the strong development strategy of the Huns has been gradually formed after the defeat of their ancestor King Daxia.In order to rejuvenate their own nation, the Huns seized all favorable opportunities in the melee in the Central Plains, either driving troops deep into the frontier fortresses to plunder wantonly; or attacking from all directions, sweeping north and south.Not only does it make the countries of the Central Plains a nightmare, hard to guard against, but more importantly, it affects other ethnic minorities in the north.Those weak tribes were annexed and assimilated one after another, while those who were slightly stronger, such as Donghu, Dingling, Wuhuan, Baiyang, Loufan, Ruoqiang, Wusun and other ethnic groups, were driven to farther places by the Huns, Or separate them and place them completely under the strong control of the Huns, which shows how harmful their strong strategy is.At that time, Yan, Zhao, Daijun and other vassal states originally lived in harmony with the Donghu and other ethnic minorities, and sometimes even had friendship for generations. However, under the aggressive strategic invasion of the Huns, their ethnic relations collapsed one after another, and it was impossible to form a strong and able to resist the Huns. power.However, what worried the Huns was that in order to protect themselves without losing the land and grasslands they depended on for survival, after obtaining the acquiescence of the princes and kings, they built their own armed forces, built fortresses in their own territories, and trained soldiers. , used to defend against the Huns.In order to be different from the Wangcheng, it is called "Wubi", which means "widely control the fertile fields, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and resist Rongdi".They enlist those who have lost their land or have no land in the first place under their wings. It is called protection, but in fact they want to control their personal freedom and become slaves who have long been attached to the lord.Participate in labor in peacetime, take up arms and obey orders in wartime.Facing the powerful enemy the Huns, it has also played a role in containing the Huns for many years.

After Qin unified the six kingdoms, of course, the rich armed forces of this nature would not be allowed to exist. Some were eliminated, some were dismissed, and some were broken up into pieces, quietly hiding in the sparsely populated north and beyond the control of the imperial court. area, continue to survive.However, its historical mission has been completed, and it is no longer blatant to raise soldiers and arms to fight against the Huns.Yanziwu is a typical example. It is located in the deep area of ​​Henan and is unknown to the outside world.Over the years, the Huns have been watching every move of Yanziwu, and both sides live in peace and harmony, living together on the banks of the big river in the Gobi Grassland, so Yanziwu can survive.The world is unpredictable, in order to survive and develop, in recent years, Chang Qingguang, the young master of Yanziwu, has used his brains to curry favor with the nearby King Xitixiutu, and also lurk in the capital, taking refuge in the mysterious "master" of the court.Yanziwu is the key to the reason why Kyoto secret envoys frequently appear in northern Xinjiang.It is rumored that the ancestor of this hot and mysterious figure in Kyoto was a native of Zhao State. With the secret acquiescence of the first emperor, he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives once.

Green onion Bailiang opened his four hooves, and arrived at Yanziwu when the lights were on the next night.The soldiers on both sides of the gate stopped the secret envoy from Kyoto: "Who? Dare to trespass the gate of Yanziwu Mountain!" The secret envoy from Kyoto swung his sword with his right hand, and immediately showed a gold medal with the purple swallow logo in his left hand, and jumped off the horse gracefully: "Let your master The envoy from the capital is here." The soldiers heard that they dared to make mistakes, and hurriedly bowed their heads and stood up: "Your Messenger has worked hard all the way!" The secret envoys from the capital looked solemn and did not look sideways. Li, the secret envoy from Kyoto is like entering the land of no one.The area where Yanziwu is located is extremely mysterious. It is far away from the official road of the Northland, between Anding County and the west border of the Northland. There are either thorns or quicksand, and deep ditches and barriers.In the past, caravans had difficulty distinguishing their paths, so they had to follow the official road honestly.The location of Yanziwu happened to be away from the caravans, only the sound was heard, but there was no trace.The mysterious Yanziwu is becoming more and more mysterious. No one can tell its exact location, but many missing people have a great relationship with Yanziwu. This is a scary place.

The guest table in the inner hall is full of wine and vegetables. Under the butter lamp, Chang Qingguang and the Hun traffickers are drinking together, accompanied by two women.The wall shadows contain smoke, and several yunyingzi stone lamps are dotted in different positions, which are as dim as reflections, like stars in the night sky.The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, and the two masters were distributing the proceeds. After the delivery was completed, the Huns trafficker solemnly presented a brocade box.Chang Qingguang asked puzzledly: "What does this mean?" "First of all, congratulations on the smooth cooperation between us. It's for Madam Chang. Please accept it." A platinum tiara of two crystal stones dazzles the room.Chang Qingguang couldn't help but burst into joy: "Ah! Such an expensive gift..." He ordered the maid leaning on the wall: "Quickly ask Madam to come out and thank the distinguished friend of the Chang Mansion!" The maid left in response. The two were having a drink, and Chang Qingguang's wife entered the room with a smile, and approached the wine table gracefully with willows in the wind.First of all, he gave a deep gift to the guest: "My family has given courtesy to Amusin's guest officer!" Amusin couldn't restrain a joy when he saw the beautiful and coquettish Mrs. Chang, he was at a loss, he hummed with a smile on his face, he couldn't even speak clearly, and said : "Ma'am, please sit down, please sit down...don't be too polite." "Madam, you can't take your seat yet. Do you think Master Amusin brought you any gift?" Chang Qingguang held the finely crafted headdress in front of his wife: "It's so beautiful, it's for you." Madam Chang didn't agree Dare to believe the facts in front of him, he took the gift and said in surprise: "Master Amusin, you are so polite...Come on, I want to toast you a few glasses today." Good: "Come on, Lord Amusin, do it!" "Ah, what the hell..." Amusin smacked the aroma of the wine happily, and his eyes couldn't help but slipped towards Mrs. Chang. In fact, he had been coveting Mrs. Chang for a long time, but because he hadn't prepared in advance, it would be impossible to seduce such a woman without giving up some capital. "Ms. Chang is really more beautiful and younger the longer she lives. There must be a secret recipe for youth maintenance?" "I thought Brother Amusin couldn't speak Qin Yu, but I didn't expect him to be so authentic, and he boasted so much about him." The two boasted to each other, Chang Qingguang understood, and was about to leave with an excuse when his family rushed in : "Master, Kyoto..." Chang Qingguang motioned him not to talk, and just left with an excuse. At this moment, only Amusin and Mrs. Chang's wife Xiao Min are left in the inner hall.Amusin approached Mrs. Chang unscrupulously, and suddenly hugged Xiao Min: "Madam, you make me think so hard..." Although Xiao Min said that she was flirtatious, she was secretly surprised, thinking that this guy was a savage, but said in her mouth: " Brother Amusin, it's still early, people don't like this..." She half pushed and half wanted to get up, but was entangled by Amusin.It wasn't until the maid outside the window shouted: "Madam—" Amusin let go. Chang Qingguang led the secret envoy from Kyoto in, and Chang Qingguang saw the scene that his wife and Amusin half-pushed and half-pushed, which should not have been seen.Of course, in his eyes, his own woman can also be used as bait, and it is the right idea to put all Amusin's money into his own pocket.Out of friendliness, the lady still did not forget to smile at Amusin and stood up to greet the new guest. "Please——" Mrs. Xiao Min said: "I didn't know that the messenger was coming, so I welcome you from a distance. I hope you will forgive me." The Kyoto messenger still walked in with a sword in his hand, dressed in black and wearing a black cap on his head. , only showing a serious and nervous face, and looked hostilely at the Huns traffickers.Chang Qingguang made an introduction: "Ah, this is my friend Amusin." Then he said: "Amusin, this is the envoy from Kyoto." The two uninvited guests are hostile to each other.Amusin was very annoyed, seeing that all the good things at hand had been messed up by the grandson... He turned his fat face to one side, and neither of them would admit defeat.Chang Qingguang was very embarrassed, and greeted: "Come, my lord, please sit down." The sullen Amusin suddenly reached out and grabbed a mixed-race woman who was pouring wine, put his fat face on it, and greedily sniffed the intoxicating fragrance emitted by the woman.The woman didn't dare to resist, and was unwilling to obey. The Hun trafficker was enraged, and raised his hand to beat her, but was firmly held by a big hand.Chang Qingguang had a headache from the tense posture of the two, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "Two, two... calm down, calm down." Chang Qingguang separated the two of them forcefully, and made them sit in their respective positions: "Two adults , there will be serious things to do right away, don’t do this, we still need to cooperate.” "What serious matter, is it more important than the population of our darts?" The Huns traffickers still looked hostilely at the Kyoto envoy.The Kyoto envoy turned to stare at Chang Qingguang: "General Chang, how can you expose such an important matter to irrelevant people? Are you not afraid that the master will punish you?" After finishing speaking, he placed the sword on the table Go up to demonstrate. Chang Qingguang is still smiling, in front of the Kyoto envoy, he is an absolute subordinate.The Kyoto envoy's face was expressionless, as cold as a knife. "Master Messenger, you don't know anything about this." Chang Qingguang finally expressed his true intention to introduce Amusin: "Master Messenger, if you leave me, a friend of the Huns, how would you find Meng Tian? What is the difference between a Qin person like us who went deep into the Xiongnu land and a local person. I’m afraid you won’t even be able to find anyone, so how can you complete the task assigned by the master then?” After making fun of himself, Amusin couldn't stand the arrogance of the envoy from Kyoto, and got up to leave, saying, "It seems that I am a redundant person... I didn't expect you to have new friends, so you have to forget old friends. Goodbye!" "Hey, hey!" Chang Qingguang stretched out his hand to grab Amusin: "Brother Amusin, you are out of touch. This matter is none other than you. Messenger, do you think so?" Chang Qingguang He intends to let the two people find a feeling of getting along, and he wants to use the two people in front of him with absolute value.The envoy from Kyoto thought about it carefully, Chang Qingguang's words made sense.The land of the Huns is so big that it is no problem to lose a person for ten or eight years.Meng Tian went deep into the land of the Xiongnu, and the owner only heard it from hearsay, if he wanted to find this person, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.It's better to let this barbaric Hun look for it. As for finding it, it has nothing to do with me.Dealing with this matter is his evergreen job, and the master will never blame me.The envoy from Kyoto suddenly became enlightened. Hearing what Chang Qingguang said, he stepped down the donkey and nodded deliberately: "Well, that's what it means." Amusin, a Hun trafficker, was originally an envoy of a business group, and he was responsible for his master to contact the mainland business groups for various goods.He is very good at convecting goods from north to south, bartering, and hoarding. He has long wanted to do it alone without his master, but he suffers from the fact that he has no capital.Suddenly one day he passed by the market and saw that besides selling all kinds of livestock, the place where the onlookers were denser was the human vendor's stall.There are about a hundred meat tickets, both men and women.Most of them are from the inland Qin, Zhao, and Yan, and only a few are Loufan, Donghu, Baiyang and other tribes.A few guys with sloppy faces were shouting loudly.He quietly inquired among the crowd, and suddenly discovered an opportunity that he should not miss to make a fortune in this life. It turned out that these people were all cheated and snatched without spending a penny.Therefore, he learned more information from various sources, and secretly formed an alliance with Changqing Guang and his ilk.A year later, he started human trafficking... Amusin had heard of Meng Tian, ​​a famous Qin general with a great reputation.Such a top figure would go deep into the Huns in disguise?He didn't believe it.But what if it really is?That is the biggest meat ticket, but a very valuable deal.The Huns human trafficker Amusin first thought of vested interests, but now Chang Qingguang asked him, this opportunity cannot be missed, Amusin thinks his business opportunity has come.He picked up the airs while he was secretly happy, and said: "Oh, it's hard to find someone these days! Does this person have any obvious characteristics?" Start implementing your own money-making plan. This stumped Chang Qingguang, and Chang Qingguang also knew that any order from the capital must not be violated, so he turned to stare at the Kyoto envoy: "Master Messenger doesn't have any pictures, pictures, etc. what?" The Kyoto envoy shook his head: "This is the master's enemy, so the master will give me this..." and pointed helplessly at the secret letter delivered by him. "You keep talking about the master, who is the master? Why is it so mysterious?" Amusin was a little annoyed: "Our Da Shanyu is nothing more than that, who is the boss of your Daqin, it confuses me! " "Ha..." Chang Qingguang couldn't stop laughing.The envoy from Kyoto couldn't help but also laughed, and said to himself: This guy's words are quite interesting, what a rough man.Chang Qingguang laughed enough before saying: "Okay, the more you know, the worse it will be for you. Let's talk about our next cooperation." Chang Qingguang asked all the followers and waiters to leave the room while speaking. With a straight face, he said: "Meng Tian is a powerful character, and this matter can only succeed, not fail. Amusin, my friend, I hope you can help me with your own affairs, and following my master will not let you suffer ,Do not worry!" "Isn't it just to kill this surname Meng?" Amusin was still careless, but with a certain challenge. "Ah, that's it..." Chang Qingguang said amiably.Amusin, the Hun trafficker, waved his hand easily: "It's all on me. Let's talk about the life price of this Meng Tian first. A general of the Qin State, in northern Xinjiang, has a great reputation and a sharp rise in popularity. I I think he is definitely not an idler, so at least you have to give fifty thousand gold, otherwise..." "Yo yo... You actually came up with such an idea? How can you ask for money for something that can be done easily." Chang Qingguang was shocked. The envoy from Kyoto was angry at Chang Qingguang: "What kind of shit friend, I'm ashamed of you." Amusin quickly replied: "You think it's so easy to take his head? Maybe it's going to be lost. Little fate. Hey, forget it, forget it, it’s okay to quit, and you don’t have to take any risks.” Chang Qingguang looked sad, and said beggingly: "Brother Amusin, you don't break the rules of the rivers and lakes? Even a few points are fine. The friendship between you and me for so many years cannot be broken just because of a few stinky money. Will it be broken if you drop it?" "It's easy to talk between us brothers. But look at your old man, is he begging me to do something?" "You..." The envoy from Kyoto was very angry.Chang Qingguang looked calm, and kept waving to the Kyoto envoy, motioning for him to appease his anger. "Okay, you two are masters, masters. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will spend the money." Chang Qingguang turned to face Amusin: "The price is a bit too high, take out your money." Net price..." "Originally, there is no benevolence and righteousness in business, and it's not like I have no place to make money." Amusin looked down on the Kyoto envoy: "You and I have cooperated for many years without any political purpose. .As long as you give me money, I will dare to kill anyone, it will be 40,000! We are friends. If he, hmph, at least this amount..." Amusin held out 80,000 gold in sign language. "Thirty-five thousand, no more." Chang Qingguang grasped Amusin's admiration for money and prosperity. "Okay then, we're fucking friends." The Hun trafficker Amusin sat up with satisfaction, molested a mixed-race woman and prepared to go to the guest room.When he walked to the door, Amusin suddenly turned around and said, "I must prepare that picture of Meng Tian for me..." Seeing the door of the room was closed tightly and the obscene voice came out, the envoy from Kyoto gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to kill him with one knife." Chang Qingguang said helplessly: "Okay, my messenger, you'd better save yourself some trouble." ! It is important to complete the mission."
