The Child Emperor

One Sword Immortal Du Motian went through untold hardships, and finally handed a letter with only a few words to the hands of Juanhou.

Since Marquis Juan joined the army north, Du Motian sent away his grandson Du Chuanyun, and he moved out of Marquis Marquis Mansion himself. Every day, he communicated with famous heroes in the capital, and his life was quite pleasant. The old eunuch He Yi suddenly came to the door and invited him to drink. After getting drunk, he handed him a letter and conveyed Mrs. Wanhou's request.

That is, from then on, Du Motian found that he was being followed. He did not set off immediately. He waited for two more days and continued his life of calling friends and friends until he offended a hero with a high status in the arena and had to. Escape from the capital.

Along the way, Du Motian got the help of many old friends in Jianghu, and was obstructed many times. He even encountered two assassinations and a public challenge. Du Motian had to abide by the rules of Jianghu, so he accepted the challenge, but did not win.

After all, Yi Jian Xian is old, and running around for several days has exhausted his energy. He lost to his opponent in the competition, and he can only choose to return to the capital.

Therefore, the person who gave the letter to Han Ruzi was not Du Motian, but a friend he entrusted to him before the competition.

This man was in his twenties, and he had no customs clearance documents with him. He somehow got into Shenxiongguan. He patrolled in front of the yamen for half a day, without calling for any police or guards to inform him. Until dusk, he saw Meng E, who accompanied General Zhenbei out of the house. , he just stepped forward to speak.

Meng E's pseudonym is Chen Tong. She dresses, looks and behaves like a male guard. Occasionally speaking, no one can hear the flaw. She has followed General Zhenbei for many days and has never been recognized by anyone, but the young man who delivered the letter recognized it at a glance. This is a Jianghu person who clasped his fists from a distance and shouted: All brothers in the four seas, can Xiongtai enjoy a meal?

Meng E was taken aback, stopped the guards who were about to arrest him, invited him into the mansion, and after inquiring in detail, took him to see General Zhenbei.

The young man straightened his body without bowing, looked Han Ruzi up and down a few times, handed over the letter, turned around and left.

Han Ruzi wanted to keep her but was stopped by Meng E, You are not from Jianghu, you don't need to deal with them.

If he had time, Han Ruzi really wanted to ask Meng E, who was determined to restore the country, what kind of Jianghu people were, and what benefits those Jianghu people who behaved strangely could get, but after scanning the letter, he was not in the mood to think about Jianghu people.

It was indeed Cui Xiaojun's handwriting, but the process of delivering the letter was unbelievable. The unfamiliar young man did not even want to reveal his name, and he told Du Motian's experience too briefly.

Han Ruzi had already sent Du Chuanyun back to Beijing, apparently he didn't meet his grandfather Du Motian on the way.

Han Ruzi took the letter and thought about it for a long time. In the whole Shenxiongguan, the only person who could discuss with him was Meng E, Do you believe this person?

I believe he is not malicious, but I also know that many innocent people will be used, and I don't know what happened until I die.

Such an answer was of no help to Han Ruzi, he smiled, put the letter close to the lit candle, hesitated for a moment, but then burned it, Assuming everything is true, Xiaojun is naturally not seriously ill, she did not write , I guess someone else was seriously ill, either the empress dowager or the emperor, so Wu Guojiu and the champion Hou rushed back to Beijing. But when Xiaojun wrote this letter, he did not know that the Huns invaded, nor did he know that I was in northern Xinjiang. Case……

Han Ruzi fell into silence, he was talking to himself, Meng E didn't speak, he stayed aside, his eyes slowly turned, and he listened to the outside voice in his ears.

Xiaojun hopes that I will return to Beijing, and I must be prepared, but General Fang is right. As soon as I leave Shenxiongguan, the Chu army in Shattered Iron City will likely collapse. The Huns are a big problem, the real big problem...

Han Ruzi picked up another letter, which was sent by Chai Yue. It said that the Huns hoped to negotiate with General Zhenbei. Chai Yue specifically stated that he did not believe in the Huns. Changxue, if we persist for a while, even if there are no large reinforcements of the Chu army in Guan, the Huns will probably retreat.

Probably, maybe, with a certain degree of certainty... Han Ruzi understands more and more what Yang Feng once said: because the emperor has too much information, it is more difficult to make a decision than when he knows nothing.

Chai Yue is a general on the front line, and it is his responsibility to think of every possibility in advance, but he does not have to make the final decision.

Cui Xiaojun lives deep in the house, and it is her goal to seek the best interests for her husband, but she does not understand the crisis in the frontier, so she does not need to weigh the pros and cons.

Han Ruzi sat there, not thinking about what to do next, but thinking about how difficult and how fun it is to make a decision.

I am still alone... Han Ruzi suddenly remembered this sentence. In the past, his grandfather Wudi sat in the shadow of the Qinzheng Hall, majestic and lonely, but now the scene has undergone subtle changes, Wudi is still alone Sitting in the shadows, but he's not alone, or he enjoys and likes that loneliness.

Call Jin Chunbao. Han Ruzi said.

Meng E's eyes turned and she was slightly surprised. She was a bodyguard, and Hou Juan rarely gave her orders. Yes. She replied, walked to the door, lowered her voice and asked the guards to find the master.

Even a general defending the city could not summon a prisoner with just a few words. He had to issue an order and affix the official seal before going to the prison to lead the prisoner.

Meng E, who usually rarely participates in specific affairs, completed the entire process, took the official seal from Hou Juan, and pressed it on the document.

Han Ruzi didn't speak, and didn't even notice that Meng E was being asked to be a follower.

Not long after, Jin Chunbao was brought in.

Jin Chun suffered a lot. In order to confirm whether his words were true, the prison guards tortured him. After the right general Feng Shili was captured, he was tortured again.

The former eldest son of Marquis Guiyi was beyond recognition. As soon as the guards let go, he knelt on the ground and shivered.

The Xiongnu army has already attacked the Iron Broken City. Han Ruzi saw only one lesson from Jin Chunbao: no foresight would bring much trouble later.

Jin Chunbao raised his head, and it took a while to recognize that it was Marquis Juan, and said in a trembling voice, Marquis Tien save me...

You are a prisoner of the Chu army, and no one can save you.

I'm not a Xiongnu anymore, save the Marquis and give me another chance, even if I stay in Da Chu as a commoner or a slave!

If you want to be a subject of Great Chu, you must fight against the Huns.

I do, I do. Jin Chunbao was not a strong person. When he heard that there was hope to break free from his prisoner status, he was so excited that tears flowed out of his eyes.

Take him down. Han Ruzi ordered.

The two guards took Jin Chun out of the frame, and he was still shouting loudly outside the house: I am willing to serve Da Chu...

Han Ruzi said to the clerk: It's really rude, we have been guarding the city together for many days, and I haven't asked the clerk's name yet.

The clerk stepped forward and said, Dare to ask the general to ask, it is a crime of humble position. The surname of the humble position is Hua, and the name is to repay the kindness.

Hua Zhuzhu was brought to Shenxiongguan by General Wu, right?

Hua Baoen's legs softened, and he knelt down. The longer he got along with the young general, the more afraid he felt in his heart, The humble post is recommended by General Wu, but the humble post is the master of the Seventh Grade of the Great Chu, eats the salaries of the imperial court, and shares the worries of the country. Dare to have the slightest selfishness.

Please get up. Han Ruzi smiled, When General Wu was away some time ago, the Master Hua managed Shenxiongguan very well.

How dare Hua Baoen get up, Honest position and reprinting, humble position has no merit, humble position is the death penalty.

In an extraordinary time, when there is an extraordinary move, you should also go down.

Hua Baoen kowtowed and resigned, and it took a while to recover after going out. He didn't understand what General Zhenbei said to himself, but felt a chill on his body, and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but he didn't have the courage.

Meng E didn't understand either. When there were no more outsiders in the room, she couldn't help but ask, You clearly know that you have seen the roster and the name of the master, why do you have to ask again?

It can make Meng E curious. This kind of thing is rare. Han Ruzi smiled and said: I want to know about this master. From now on, I will watch his every move.

Meng E was still puzzled, but she didn't ask. She would rather keep a distance from what she didn't understand. You also have to be careful. If someone from Jianghu intercepts Du Motian, someone from Jianghu may be staring at you all the time.

Well, but I trust you to keep me safe.

Meng E stepped aside, inexplicably a little vigilant in her heart. She used to put forward conditions, and Hou Juan accepted them, but now Hou Juan ordered them. She accepted them unconditionally, with neither reason nor will to refuse.

Han Ruzi had already made a decision and did not act immediately because he was waiting for the result from Fang Daye.

On the fifth day of Fang Daye's trip to the Northern Army, he finally sent someone to send back the news. He and the left general Han Tong persuaded the generals of the Northern Army that they would be able to lead 50,000 people to Shenxiongguan within two days, and in less than two days. Can support Ironbreaker.

After Han Ruzi received the letter, he immediately ordered all the soldiers in the city to go to Shattered Iron City.

Jin Chunbao was ordered to accompany the army, without armor and weapons, and his identity was still a prisoner.

Since seeing hope, Jin Chunbao has been thinking hard about what he can do to help Marquis Juan, so when he was accompanying, Han Ruzi just opened his mouth to ask, and he continued to talk.

I understand, Prince Zhaheshan wants to use me to lure the Imperial Army into taking the bait, but what he said to me may not be all false. From what I have seen and heard in the Xiongnu camp, the Eastern Huns have indeed split, and some Those who hoped to snatch the city and people of Da Chu settled down in the Guan, and some of them wanted to live in the water and grass. Zhaheshan and Dachanyu were both of the former type, while the latter type was large in number but had no power in their hands. They only had One choice is to set up a big danyu. If you can't find a suitable candidate among the nobles of the headquarters, you can only find other Xiongnu nobles. The Huns who fled westward during Emperor Wu's time must still retain their traditions. When I was in the camp I just heard some people talk about the West Huns, and they miss them very much, and they are quite friendly to the Jin family who originated from the West Huns... If I guess correctly, the West Huns are back.

Why did the West Huns want peace talks? Han Ruzi was most concerned about this issue.

Jin Chunbao couldn't tell, he gave the boldest guess, just to make merit and save his life.

Han Ruzi browses a large number of front-line official documents every day, and has determined that the enemy of Hebei is the coalition of the East and West Huns. Does the so-called 'haunted' of the Huns have other meanings?

That was when they met Jin Chunbao on the way of inspection, and several Xiongnu herdsmen swore that the West was haunted.

Jin Chunbao didn't know much about the Xiongnu language, so he could only rack his brains to recall the conversation he had with the Huns, If I'm not mistaken, the Huns are indistinguishable between gods and ghosts, and haunting may also be condemned by gods, as for what the so-called gods are. , I don't know.
