Although camels, mules, and horses sent by Kangju greeted me, the severe cold along the way far exceeded my expectations.Our food was completely exhausted on the way. With hunger and severe cold, a large number of Huns died on the road.When we arrived at the capital of Kangju, it was already spring and flowers were blooming, but my people were only 3,000 people left.If the Kangju people want to kill us, it can be said to be easy. I have to once again praise the great Xianyu of our Xiongnu. The illustrious reputation they established allowed their descendants to maintain enough majesty and get enough respect even in extreme distress.

King Kang Ju was about fifty years old, with long fiery red hair draped over his shoulders, a high and sharp nose, and a messy beard that almost completely covered his mouth, which made me suspect that he had difficulty eating.When he saw me, his face was filled with sincere joy, and he hurried over to greet me.With the help of an interpreter, we chatted happily for a while.Then he introduced his family members to me, and the most unforgettable beautiful face in my life really appeared. She is the woman I saw at Yibo Beach.She was dressed quite differently now, in autumn, in crepe and silk, with her round arms still bare.Now she is wearing a thick cotton gown, covered with a short woolen jacket, on the neckline you can still see the vague pattern of the character "Chang" in the Han Dynasty, and a string made of crystal and agate The necklace made her pretty face even more radiant.She wore a pointed felt hat on her head, with a conspicuous ermine fur stitched on one side of the hat, and three red strings hanging from the brim of the hat like tassels, and a pair of long-barreled deer on her feet. Leather boots look very lean.

My eyes were like a hungry wolf, biting her tightly, and I was not willing to let go.She looked at me intently, her lips turned white, and it was obvious that she recognized who I was. While King Kang Ju is still quite afraid of me, I need to strike while the iron is hot.I said to King Kangju: "I hope that the Xiongnu and Kangju will be friendly neighbors forever. According to the rules of our Huns, since the two countries have good relations, they should adopt the method of peace as a proof. I have a daughter who is eighteen years old. Years old, I hope to marry the king and serve the king's dormitory."

King Kang Ju was a little flattered: "Shan Yu, you are too polite. Your suggestion is very good. All my five daughters are here, and the youngest two are not married. Shan Yu can choose one as the Yan family and serve Shan Yu. Yu's bedroom." I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get a beauty. I pretended to glance at the two daughters of King Kang Ju, and pointed at the fairy: "If I can get this beauty as the Yan family, I promise in the name of a Hun Shanyu, I call Tu Wusi never hates death, he is Kang Ju's most loyal son-in-law in this life. Kang Ju's affairs are our Huns' affairs, and Kangju's honor and disgrace are our Huns' honor and disgrace. If anyone doesn't take Kang Ju seriously , that is to blatantly oppose me, the Huns!"

King Kang Ju's lips trembled, obviously very excited, he repeatedly said: "Great, great!" These simple words kept repeating on his lips, he was probably too excited to say anything more gorgeous words. Although there was a distance, the beauty seemed to have heard my words, and ran over and whispered something in King Kangju's ear. From her anxious expression, it could be seen that she was probably saying, "Father, I don't want to marry you!" give him." King Kangju showed a smile on his face, and said to me: "She is the little girl Yisu, who is known as the number one beauty in Kangju."

Oh, so her name is Yisu. I clapped my hands and said: "It is indeed a well-deserved reputation, it is so beautiful, even more beautiful than a fairy." I looked at her with a smile.She glared at me and sat next to her father, wringing her hands over and over, clearly agitated. "I wanted to choose a husband for her a long time ago, but she has been picky all the time, saying that she wants to marry a big hero. I think, if she can marry a hero like Shan Yu, it can be said that her wish has been fulfilled." He said Turning to Yisu again, "Zhizhi Shanyu is a great hero in the world now, why do you say you won't marry?"

I subconsciously said modestly: "Where is that?" But my mouth was sour, she had high vision, and secretly she had already fought with that Han Dynasty scoundrel named Chen Tang. Yisu said loudly: "What kind of hero is he? He was driven away by the army of the Han Dynasty. He wants to marry, and my daughter also hopes to marry the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He is the greatest hero in the world." King Kang Ju glanced at me quickly, and said embarrassedly: "Shan Yu, my daughter is ignorant, please forgive me. She doesn't know Shan Yu yet. When I tell her about Shan Yu's defeat of Ji Houxuan and Wusun, When she annexes Ding Ling and Jiankun's great achievements, she will turn to admire Shanyu." He immediately turned his head and scolded Yisu angrily: "What do you know, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had no power to restrain a chicken, and he was a king every day?" How can a sick man who hides in the deep palace without seeing the light of day compare with Shan Yu? Shan Yu can pull a strong bow of three stones, and is known as the number one eagle shooter of the Xiongnu, this is a veritable hero.”

Yisu smiled disdainfully: "He is considered the number one eagle shooter... Huh, even if he is, I don't care too much, he is so old and ugly. If you want to marry, you can do it yourself." She turned around and ran away . The way she pursed her lips was so amazing, I was so fascinated by her, even if I saw her scolding me every day, I would still be willing.My eyes were drawn away from myself by her fluttering sleeves, so that I sat there in a daze for a while.Why didn't she expose me?At the seaside of Yibo, I was shot and killed by Chen Tang with two strong bows tied at five stones. This is indeed the most embarrassing thing for me.That's right, she and Chen Tang went out for a tryst secretly. Chen Tang is a lowly person, how could he match up with Princess Kangju? Such a beauty is only worthy of me, the Hun Shanyu.Thinking of this, I feel relieved.I pretended to ask King Kangju: "I heard that envoys from the Han Dynasty also came to Kangju?"

King Kangju's face changed slightly: "No, no. Although we have a little contact with the Han Dynasty, we just want to cheat their property. The Han Dynasty has rich products, but the living habits and language customs are very different from our Kangju, and the land is also far away from them. We are far away, there is no need to communicate." I casually said, "That's not necessarily true. The nursing home of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty is not too far from Kangju." King Kang Ju's face became even uglier.I think we should pursue the victory: "There is a man named Chen Tang, doesn't the king know?"

His expression softened: "Chen Tang, what kind of Han Dynasty envoy is that? He is just a fishmonger. He is from the Han Dynasty and has learned good fishing skills in his hometown since he was a child. He was trafficked to Kangxi a few years ago. As a slave, Ju was bought back from the market by our Yisu. Because he was good at fishing and cooking, I specially released him from slavery. He often took a group of people to go fishing in Yibohai, the eastern boundary of our Kangju. , and then transported to the capital to sell. Since the fish he catches are relatively large, our palace specially orders them from him, so he has the qualification to enter and leave the palace.”

It seems that the king really doesn't know anything. How can I believe that Chen Tang is just a fisherman?His ability to shoot arrows is definitely not something that a fisherman can possess.He has this kind of kung fu, why didn't he hang out in the army of the Han Dynasty?In the event of war, decapitation and meritorious service, there will always be opportunities to become a marquis in the future, why hide in the distant Kangju and be a little fisherman?Could it be that there were so many talented people in the Han Dynasty that they could be wasted?Or maybe he was so fascinated by this Princess Kang Jumei that he was willing to be a fisherman? "Oh, then I may have heard it wrong. When this Chen Tang came, please introduce me, the king, and I would like to get to know him very much. I also like eating fish very much. There are quite a few Han Dynasty cooks around me. I am good at cooking fish, or I can let them compete with each other. In addition, if the princess insists on refusing to marry me, I will have no face to stay in your country. Or simply the king will lend me a few thousand soldiers and let me attack Wusun first. , if we are lucky enough to capture Wusun, not only will we be able to vent our anger on both of us, but I will also have a place to live forever, so I don’t have to disturb Your Majesty.” I said this, but I had more intentions in my heart.There are only more than 3,000 people who followed me to Kangju alive, and less than half of them can fight. Living in Kangju with such a small number of people is like a sheep in a wolf's den, which is in danger at any time.Although Kang Ju doesn't have the intention of doing harm now, if the real messenger of the Han Dynasty arrives and threatens Kang Ju to attack me, will I still survive?It's better to strike while the iron is hot and borrow thousands of soldiers from him to attack Wusun. If you win, you can not only increase your prestige, but also take a group of prisoners to enrich your strength.Since the beauty Yisu is in Kangju, she is not afraid of her going to the sky.I swallowed to see Kang Juwang's reaction. King Kang Ju smiled and said, "Shanyu is really the strongest eagle in the desert. But you don't have to be so anxious when you come to our land from a long distance. Let Shanyu rest for a few days, and when he recovers, I will choose 5,000 elite soldiers to serve as soldiers." Shan Yu drives."
