Chapter 11 The Ninth Fighting Duel Shocked the Royal Court and the Huns Breaking Their Promise and Imprisoned Again

After being trapped in the Xiongnu camp, Meng Tian and his follower Tian Huo responded wittily, and the royal court could not get any news about them.In order to prove their true identities, the Hun wizard asked them to fight a duel with savages.After a life-and-death fight, the two defeated their opponents respectively... But they were still tied to wooden stakes and were tortured by the Huns until the Princess of the Sun found them... In this year's gladiatorial competition, two people from Qin challenged the savages. The news spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the Quicksand Grassland.People put down their work and gathered in advance at the Shanyuting Southwest Campus, in order to occupy the best seats for viewing.They automatically vacate the middle ground and form a quasi-circular zone.

Jiao Yang has been begging her father several times in a row, hoping to cancel what she considers to be an "unfair" wrestling.Reluctantly, Touman has reached a consensus with the two wizards: forcing them to fight is false, probing their real identities is true, but he never gave Princess Scorching Sun an accurate answer, which made her even more anxious.In Jiao Yang's heart, Meng Tian is like a handsome prince charming. Under his mature and introverted appearance, there is always a man's unique allure, which is irresistible to women. At the same time, Jiao Yang also Excited for his candor.If it was said that Jiao Yang's affection for them before was only subconscious, but now, she almost used her life to defend Meng Tian.From this morning till now, she has already made no less than three trips to the royal court, in order to make her father take back his order at the last moment.On the small road between the small courtyard where Mengtian was detained and the Wangting, she felt that the carriage was in the way, so she had to ride her little flowery horse back and forth.

Meng Tian felt sorry for her panting, anxious and helpless look, and in order not to worry her, he said seriously: "Princess, we are already very grateful, even if we die, we are willing to die, at least we know that there is a Hun woman before he dies." He has been worrying about us all the time, trying his best to save us. This is a friendship as big as the sky and as deep as the sea..." Tian Huo didn't speak all the time, he was just meditating, and he acted calmly, which made Meng Tian feel at ease.Meng Tian's words made Scorching Yang even more desolate, and he was almost in pain. He threw off his whip angrily, and said angrily, "I'm really useless, but a Hun princess can't save my friend..."

"Princess, don't say that, and don't think like that..." "No, I have to go see my father..." Jiao Yang picked up the whip, got on the horse and left. "Princess! Princess——" In the morning, the sunlight pierced through the birch forest and scattered on the little pony and its owner, and the nimble figure disappeared in front of it in an instant.Meng Tian thought, this might be the last good memory that Princess Sunshine left for him! The arena not far away is full of voices, and people can always make a wave of loud noise.Meng Tian and Tian Huo both walked into the arena. Standing by the side of the arena, the scorching sun looked desperately at the two heroic men who died tragically, and his heart was about to break.Suddenly, full of hope, she mounts her horse and rides away again.Not long ago, when she went to see her father again, Touman Chanyu had already left the court.No one knows about Shan Yu's whereabouts, making Jiao Yang even more desperate.At this time, a palace chief ran over resentfully, and said in a low voice with a secretive expression: "Secondly, the eldest Shanyu knew you were coming, so he asked the younger one to wait here. If you want to save your friend, you should go and meet the wizard. Because the sorcerer even calculated for these two Qin people..." When Jiao Yang heard this, he grabbed the manager: "How did the wizard calculate for the Qin people?" The manager couldn't help shaking his head: "Not even the big Shanyu Tell me, how can we servants know, you should ask yourself!"

The scorching sun let go of the steward, stepped on the pony, and rode straight to the wizard's hut.The wizards of the past dynasties lived far away from the royal court, and built independent houses and created astrological fields in a place that they believed to be extremely suitable for astrology and hexagrams.Therefore, that place becomes a place that is quiet and obeyed consciously by others and will never enter rashly. Qi Qicuo has been watching the astrology in the dead of night lately, divination of good and bad luck, and asking the gods.But recently he discovered that the Sirius constellation representing the fate of the Huns continued to appear dark and muddy, which made him extremely worried. It was difficult to say for a while what the reason was.And the day when Qi Qicuo understood the reason was exactly the day when the Huns trafficked Amusin and brought the two Qin people who asked for credit.Qi Qicuo has already determined that the man in his thirties is definitely not an idle person, and based on the time when they entered the Huns, it was also the time when the Sirius constellation appeared dark. Qi Qicuo recognized this person in his heart in court Suspicious identity.Reminiscent of the fact that Amusin believes that he is Meng Tian, ​​the Qin general, Qi Qicuo is even more worried. Now there is no strong evidence to prove that he is Meng Tian, ​​and the other party has repeatedly concealed his true identity. What should we do?Qi Qicuo thought of a strategy to force the other party to admit that he is Qin general Meng Tian by means of wrestling.

In the dim hut, the roof is a starry sky dotted with vesicle stones, and it twinkles with stars throughout the day as at night.Suddenly, a light flickered a few times and was about to go out. Qi Qicuo knew that someone had trespassed on the forbidden place—his gossip corner, and had caused trouble, so he had to get up to check.At first glance, he knew that the person who came was none other than Princess Scorching Sun. Scorching Sun saw that the wizard's hut was just ahead, but he couldn't get around the hexagram barrier no matter what.Qi Qicuo walked out of the house, smiled and said, "Oh, next time, you have nothing to do and ran to the old man's place. Are you here to visit the old minister or ask the teacher to inquire about the crime?" barrier.Jiao Yang said angrily, "What do you think?"

"According to the old minister, the second possibility is that he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime..." The sun is no longer polite: "I know that no one can escape your eyes, but they are my friends, you should hold your hands high and don't let them duel with the savages." "Haha..." Qi Qicuo laughed happily: "Honorable Juji, I have canceled the challenge between them, and I have already figured out their identities, it doesn't matter, they are serious and legal businessmen, He is not a general of Qin at all. But Ju Ci seems to have forgotten that the wrestling tournament has always been controlled by the noble group." Jiao Yang stared at Qi Qicuo in amazement, doubting his short words: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Qi Qicuo seemed very serious, not an unreasonable person like some people said, Jiao Yang believed it, thanked Qi Qicuo, and rode straight to the arena. Looking at the scorching sun going away, the sorcerer Qi Qicuo sighed softly, shook his head, and thought: Our second must have fallen in love with this Mengtian... He wants the scorching sun to go away, and these two Qin people will definitely not To die, to find out their true identity is still the current top priority.The wizard Qi Qicuo thought of the Huns traffickers again, so he called a personal slave and told him to summon the Huns traffickers.After the personal slave rode away, the wizard Qi Qicuo, who was always concerned about the country and the people, went straight to the royal court with his conjecture.

Different from the previous wrestling fights, this time the wrestling fight was more tragic, more exciting, and more special. To be precise, it was a contest of speed and endurance, in short, it was very fast.When the people hadn't seen the name, the savage was about to win again, but the situation took a turn for the worse... At the beginning of the wrestling, Meng Tian and Tian Huo walked into the arena in full view, causing a commotion. He looked at the two people like a monster, and they were two Qin people with thin skin and tender flesh.All the eyes and boos are telling you: People with this kind of physical fitness dare to go to the arena?There is no doubt that they will die a miserable death.The savages will even tear their limbs apart for a while. It will be an unprecedented life and death struggle.The savage, half naked, walked back and forth around the pile, making the chains rattle and rattle.At this moment, the sunlight on the plateau warmed up further, and the savage's huge toes were deeply inserted into the soft sandy soil, with a forceful momentum, roaring at Meng Tian and Tian Huo like beasts.

Meng Tian and Tian Huo looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but gasped.The sunshine on the plateau is accelerating the accumulation of all material heat, but Meng Tian and the others feel cold inside.Just when the two were thinking about how to deal with such a challenge, the savage was unfettered by the noble manipulator, and rushed up like two runaway demons, baring their teeth.The air was filled with blood, and the grassland was condensed with countless equivalent explosive energy. The arena attracted a series of shouts: "Kill them! Kill them..." The killing shouts and drumming were deafening, reaching into the sky, Creepy.

Two Qin people fought with two savages with bare hands in the arena. The nobles prepared long sticks for their "pets", but let the two Qin people fight with their bare hands.Meng Tian and Tian Huo no longer have time to think about these unfair treatment. They have put life and death aside. If there is anything they can remember, it is their own participation in the struggle to end hundreds of years of war and usher in the unified Great Qin Empire. birth.The establishment of a new country makes people stay away from killing, blood, and war at once. It is a leisurely living space, with fresh air like a spring flowing, and the fragrance is incomparable when you take a breath... Will everything be far away again? go?Meng Tian had no time to think about this, the savage's stick was waving at him, time and time again, he dodged subconsciously.Immediately afterwards, the stick was broken into three pieces and scattered on the sandy ground. The professional gladiators fought with each other unarmed, becoming more ferocious, as if they wanted to destroy the world. Meng Tian firmly believes that as the sun heats up, the barbarian's physical energy will be consumed faster.He was suddenly distracted. He first thought of his old mother who was still waiting for his son to return home in the Meng Mansion in Kyoto, his wife and children who were still in the Yangzhou military camp, the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and the Hun princess Jiaoyang whom he had just met. ... At this moment, Meng Tian was thrown heavily on the sand by that guy, his nerves suddenly became a little numb, but his consciousness became particularly clear.Meng Tian touched a hard object with his left hand, and subconsciously understood that it was a regenerative weapon that could be used. He tightly held the long-broken wooden prong, rolling his body over and over again, dodging the barbarian's powerful feet.Meng Tian's desire to survive forced him to instinctively say in his heart: Hurry up, this death game must end as soon as possible... The professional gladiators uttered angry cries, which were professional and lethal cries.With every stamp of foot, the earth trembles; with every cry, the sky changes color. "Trample him to death, trample him to death!" The nobles shouted furiously and shouted, their agitation was beyond words, and they cheered for their "pets".Those Xiongnu tribes who were watching from the outside, they were soldiers, slaves and low-level herdsmen, had become rational at this moment.They hoped that the two savages would die as soon as possible, that was their nightmare.Once the savages get out of control, the nobles can protect themselves, and it is the lower herdsmen who are harmed by the savages. The more you can't succeed, the more angry the savage will be.What Meng Tian and Tian Huo want is to further irritate each other and force them to lose their minds further, and their goal has been achieved.When the savage stomped the sole of his right foot down again, the wooden prong in Meng Tian's hand had penetrated deeply into the sole of that powerful foot at just the right time, and there was a tragic howl.At the same time, another professional gladiator was unfortunately thrown to the ground by Tian Huolue's trick, and was also deeply impaled into the gap between his ribs by a wooden prong.Now, the situation on the field seems to be clear, the two sides can be said to be at the beginning of an equal contest, or it can be said that Meng Tian and Tian Huo have gradually gained the upper hand. The nobles seem to have lost their patience and are disappointed that the one-sided situation is no longer happening.How can this be?How can two Qin people have the upper hand?For a long time, the nobles of the Xiongnu longed for the green waters and green mountains of the Qin Empire, the prosperity and beauty of Kyoto, and the beauties like clouds and weaves.He hated the Great Qin Empire because he could not own it. Such a mentality was mixed with the deep-rooted hatred when Xia Jie Lugui was defeated by Tang and lost the Central Plains.In fact, there is no essential connection between the two, but as the Huns, what an unforgettable memory.Another longer piece of broken wood has become a powerful weapon in Meng Tian's hands. Without giving the savage any chance, he tried his best to insert the tip of the stick into the savage's heart.The blood flowed down like a water column from a wooden stick, and a dark purple patch was wet on the sand.The savage fell powerlessly to the ground, and plunged the exposed stick deep into the sand, merging with his torso. On the other hand, the scene is more exciting.Tian Huo actually rode high on the savage's neck, swung his round iron fists with both hands, and beat the savage's head like a hammer. The savage couldn't bear the pain of constant blows, and his tall body finally fell to the ground.While the savage was panting, Tian Huo let the savage regain his strength, pulled out the wooden prong between the savage's ribs, and forced it into his throat, the trachea ruptured, and blood gushed out into the sky.The two savages convulsed for a while, and finally died of exhaustion. ... The arena was extremely quiet, and everyone watched the savage being killed, but they couldn't be sure that the savage would die at the hands of two Qin people. When Princess Scorching Sun returned to the arena, the place had already been ignited by fierce fighting.The spectators had already disrupted the order on the field, forming a tight circle like an iron bucket without leaving a single gap.The scorching sun shouted loudly but it didn't work, so she had to use the horsewhip to clear the way, and when her arms were exhausted and weak, the passage that was opened with great difficulty closed again, and she couldn't get into the middle of the arena.People have been attracted by the competition on the field, and have no time to pay attention to other things, including her noble princess who seems to have disappeared.Everyone's minds were focused on the arena, and the life and death of the savages and the Qin people was the most important thing and became the focus of people's attention. It's useless for Jiaoyang to shout out his voice, and his anxious expression can't be added.In the end, the scorching sun, who was blocked from the crowd, leaned feebly on a birch tree, and the whip fell without realizing it.She thought desperately: Meng Tian and Meng Tian are sure to die... until the loud shouting subsided and the venue was suddenly so quiet that it was frightening, the sun woke up from it. What about the people here... What about Meng Tian and the others?Everyone dispersed, only a team of soldiers was carrying the body. Jiao Yang suddenly realized something, she screamed sharply, and rushed towards the soldiers who were carrying the dead bodies.The soldiers looked at Jiaoyang in amazement, stopped what they were doing, and shouted: "Juci..." Jiaoyang grabbed a soldier's arm and asked anxiously, "Where are those two Qin people? Where are they?" "The report came second, they were escorted away..." "You, you mean they are not dead?" The soldiers nodded.Jiaoyang asked eagerly: "Then where are they now?" Jiaoyang's face obviously softened a lot, and the soldiers shook their heads and said, "Well, I don't know..." When the scorching sun found Meng Tian and the two, they were lying unconscious beside the stake.Under the sunshine of the plateau, there is a new and unknown small courtyard. The Kleng, a nobleman of the Huns, guards the small courtyard firmly.Meng Tian woke up in a daze, feeling extremely hungry and thirsty, and shouted feebly: "Water...water..." A Xiongnu soldier subconsciously came over to play: "Come on, I have a pot here..." As he said, he had already untied his belt ... Hun soldier B understood, and with a smirk, he also took out his belongings and poured it on Meng Tian's head... Smell-smelling hot urine flowed down from the top of Meng Tian's head and down his cheeks.The soldiers booed and laughed mischievously, and they slid towards the other side on the edge of ignorant and fearless humanity, unaware that bad luck was also approaching them.The scorching sun’s shout was superimposed on the backs of the soldiers almost at the same time as the whip: “Bastards! What are you doing…” The whips kept waving, and the soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy: “Second, forgive me…” "Secondly, we don't dare anymore..." The scorching sun rushed forward, already crying like pearls.She carefully wiped their cheeks for the two: "I'm sorry... I'm a step late." Meng Tian tried to open his eyes: "Water, water..." Jiao Yang nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Pigs are not as good as dogs." Something, get some water quickly." "Yes, yes..." Jiaoyang fed them water herself, and she wanted to restore their physical strength as soon as possible. "Prepare the carriage for me." Kelen's family soldier hesitated: "Secondly..." "What's the matter? Are you looking for death?" Scorching Sun asked sharply. "Secondly, my master said that no one is allowed to bring anyone without him speaking..." "Your master?" Jiao Yang was puzzled: "What is your master, what right does he have to detain the guests of Da Shanyu Wang Ting. He has grown a few heads..." "I have a head, what do you want?" Kelen happened to appear in front of the small courtyard, and said, "Secondly, no matter what you do, you have to say hello to my master!" Kelen's arrogant and rude appearance made Jiaoyang disgust.Jiao Yang knew that this man had been doing whatever he wanted for a long time relying on his status as the father-in-law of Zuo Xian Wang.But she still didn't understand how Kelen would detain the two Qin people. "The princess doesn't understand, why do you detain the guests of the royal court?" "Guests? What kind of guests are they? The old minister only knows that since they are participating in the wrestling, they are two slaves." Kelen raised his head majestically, not paying attention to the scorching sun at all, his black and yellow beard was still in the sun There is a golden light shining below. "What are you, dare to talk to this princess like this? Da Shanyu Wang Ting admits that they are guests, why do you detain them for no reason? I'm asking you this, answer me!" "Hey, I scared the old minister to death. I, Sharp Kelen, the largest nobleman in the Hun Empire, what is it to take a few slaves into custody? Do I still have to report to you, a yellow-haired girl?" "You..." Yan Yang was extremely angry, "I want you to let them go immediately." "I won't let you go, what's the matter? If you want to be tough with me, there's no way." Kelen didn't let go. "Okay, Kelen, you..." Scorching Yang stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do. Kelen came to Tian Huo, and kept scratching Tian Huo's face with his horsewhip: "I just want to kill you and avenge my two servants. To kill, to kill... just make you anxious, make you anxious... ..." Scorching Sun yelled: "Kelen! What do you want to do?" Kelen still didn't feel satisfied, and squatted close to Tian Huo, still poking, beating, and scratching with the horsewhip: "Aren't you amazing, kid? Come on!" , come to a duel with me. Come on..." Tian Huo closed his eyes slightly and remained motionless, but with a sudden movement, Kelen fell into his arms, and Tian Huo used the whip to tightly strangle Kelen's neck , motionless, Klenn could not make any cry.The entourage wanted to come to rescue him, but was stopped by the scorching sun: "Whoever dares to save someone, I will kill him." Everyone saw that Ke Ling's face turned purple, his head drooped slightly, and he died. This mighty Hun nobleman died just like this. Regarding the victory of Meng Tian and Tian Huo, Princess Jiaoyang was so happy that she didn't know what to say, especially those low-status female slaves thanked these two Qin from the bottom of their hearts. The warriors, so that they will no longer be bullied.The Kelen family is one of the most prominent families, and they are related by marriage to almost every prince and general, forming an unbreakable and unshakable network of relationships. They are the "Klenn forces" that can influence the court situation. It would be extremely difficult to move him, and now, this arrogant, arrogant and rude Klenn died so easily, which shocked the entire royal court. Jiao Yang took advantage of this rare opportunity to take Meng Tian and two out of the small courtyard, and found a new hiding place in a birch forest seven or eight miles away from the royal court.To avoid revealing the news, she intends to arrange their lives herself.Of course, it also contains the girl's thoughts, which I can't talk about for the time being, that is, to persuade Meng Tian to surrender to the Huns and stay as her husband.However, this will take time and cannot be considered immediately. After settling them down, when Jiao Yang was about to leave, he blushed and said earnestly: "General, please feel wronged for a while, I will definitely find a way to get you out of here." Meng Tian said worriedly: "Princess, you always worry about us Thinking about it, your clansmen will definitely misunderstand you and isolate you." Jiao Yang looked at Meng Tian with deep affection, and said: "I didn't think about it that much, I just think you are reasonable and good people." Then he jumped on the little flower horse and left , the scorching sun immediately turned around and warned: "It is best to tell your subordinates not to leave the house. I think he is a very restless person...I promise to come every day." "Understood, if you have nothing to do, don't come here, so as not to arouse others' suspicion." "I'm a princess, they don't dare to do anything to me..." Mo Feng lifted up Yan Yang's bright long skirt and brown hair, and she walked away in a heroic posture. Meng Tian looked at the figure of the sun that was fading away, he was sure that his feelings for the sun were gradually deepening, and he couldn't help saying with emotion in his heart: What a beautiful girl!
