Wang Ben and his party were taken to the court of Shan Yu.
Along the way, the Qin soldiers all looked at Wang Heng with admiration, if not for the young general's wit. They are probably dead now.
Wang Ben was also a little impressed in his heart. Wang Heng is somewhat quick-witted. However, this man was too ambitious and cruel, and he actually wanted to bet the world of Qin in exchange for his own glory and wealth. This child cannot be kept.
However, the current situation is special and there is no way to kill him. We can wait until we return to Da Qin before we do it.
At this moment, Wang Ben was already planning to kill his relatives out of justice.
However, when Wang Ben walked outside Shanyu's tent, he suddenly panicked and remembered something very bad. He and Shatilie have met before.
When Sha Tilie was sent as an envoy to Xianyang, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, accompanied by all the civil and military officials. At that time, he had met Satire.
Wang Ben took a deep breath and told himself: "It doesn't matter, so what if I met Sha Tilie? He didn't know that I had a conflict with Huaiguzi. There is no flaw in me claiming to be Huaiguzi's envoy."
In fact, Wang Ben was still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, Sha Tilie had stayed in Xianyang City for a while. If he heard about the fight between Wang and Huaiguzi, it would be difficult to talk about it today.
In fact, Wang Ben was overly worried. Shatilie had indeed seen him, but he didn't remember his face at all.
Just like in the eyes of the Central Plains people, the barbarians and Rongdi are all savages wearing leather clothes, carrying bows, and unshaven beards. They all look the same. In the eyes of the Huns, the Central Plains people were all hypocrites with tied hair, long robes, and elegant manners. They looked similar.
Shatilie didn't talk to Wang Ben, he just met him face to face. It was impossible to remember this face.
What's more, all Sha Tilie's attention that day was on Li Xin and Li Shui. Even Ying Zheng, he had almost forgotten what he looked like.
Wang Ben brought five hundred coins of Qin soldiers and visited Shan Yu uneasily.
Touman Shanyu was quite polite and asked Wang Ben to sit down, but his enthusiasm was far behind Wu Tong's.
Shatilie glared at him from the side. If he could, he would have eaten Wang Ben alive.
Touman Shanyu said calmly: "This time, which mountain did you offer sacrifices to? Where did you pray for blessings? Where were you placed too tightly? Did you use another five thousand pig heads?"
Wang Ben heard the clouds and mountains shrouded in fog: "What is this? Is it a secret signal from Huaiguzi and the Huns?"
Wang Heng, who was next to him, was moved in his heart: "Sacrifice? Tailao? Mountain? Is he asking about offering sacrifices to heaven and enshrining Zen? There have long been rumors in Xianyang City that after His Majesty unified the world, he intended to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Is this what Shanyu said?"
Wang Heng looked at Wang Ben and saw that Wang Ben was wandering in the sky, so he answered on his behalf: "Mount Tai."
Touman Chanyu sneered: "I knew it."
Shatilie felt uneasy and understood that Touman Shanyu was already a little annoyed.
In a short period of time, the Huns had sent out thousands of good horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. Even if Shan Yu is rich, this is still a big expense.
Although the Central Plains will be obtained soon and all these cattle and sheep can be brought back, but... that will happen in the future after all. Handing over these things right now is extremely painful.
At this time, a Hun noble who knew a little about the Central Plains said in a low voice: "Sacrificing sacrifices on Mount Tai? This is not ordinary."
Shanyu asked: "What?"
The Hun noble said: "I heard that Mount Tai is the highest mountain in the world, and it can reach the sky. It is said that the emperors of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties once worshiped the heaven and paid homage to the Emperor of Heaven on Mount Tai. Therefore, this Mount Tai is a very special mountain, not an emperor. No sacrifices can be made.”
"King Zuo Xian can offer sacrifices on Mount Tai, which means that as the emperor of the Central Plains, he represents all the people to offer sacrifices to heaven."
After hearing this, Chanyu became elated again.
He even looked at Shatilie in surprise, wondering how his son could do it. It was just a simple mission. How come everyone in the Qin Dynasty, from the princes and nobles to the traders and footmen, were so sincerely convinced?
Wang Ben and others were also a little puzzled when they heard this: "What are these Huns talking about? Mount Tai to worship the heaven? Sha Tilie? Are you kidding?"
Shanyu looked back at Wang Bi and others, and his excitement slowed down a bit. After all, there were tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.
He sighed and said, "That's all, go ahead. Get the cattle and sheep and leave immediately. Tell Huaiguzi by the way. Don't send people here again and again. Let's figure out how many cattle and sheep are missing."
Wang Ben and others hesitated and couldn't explain why.
Shanyu waved his hand and ordered people to take them out.
Soon, thousands of good horses and thousands of cattle and sheep were handed over to Wang Ben.
Wang Ben looked at Wang Heng and the five hundred Qin soldiers behind him. Everyone was a little confused: "What do these Huns mean?"
At this time, Sha Tilie came over. He grabbed Wang Ben's arm, took him to a deserted corner, and said viciously: "Liu Er, how many brothers-in-law are there?"
Wang Ben looked at him blankly and thought to himself: "Liu Er? Liu Er, the arrogant Liu Er? How many brothers-in-law does he have, do they have anything to do with me?"
Wang Ben felt that the Huns were all crazy, and their words were inconsistent with what they said.
When Sha Tilie saw that Wang Bi was silent, he sneered and said with a gloomy face: "Go and tell Huaiguzi that enough is enough. If you continue like this, the Chanyu will become suspicious. When the time comes, they will break up and they will be no good to anyone." benefit."
Wang Ben nodded blankly.
Shatilie punched Wang Ben in the stomach and cursed: "Get out of here and don't come back again, otherwise I will kill you if I risk my life."
Wang Ben rubbed his belly and returned to the Qin soldiers with a puzzled look on his face.
Then they went south. There were several Huns herdsmen helping them drive their cattle and sheep. There were also five thousand Huns escorting them all the way.
Each of these Qin soldiers had a question in their mind: "Why did the Huns give us cattle and sheep?"
Finally, Wang Heng said quietly: "Could this be what Huaiguzi said, thousands of good horses and countless cattle and sheep?"
Qin Bing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case. But didn’t Wu Tong already take away the cattle and sheep?
Then they were even more surprised. What is the relationship between Huaiguzi and Shatilie? When a group of messengers come, will they give you cattle and sheep?
Wang Ben was even more confused. What did Shatilie mean by Mount Tai Feng Chan? Could it be said that Huaiguzi has cooperated with Sha Tilie to take over the Qin Dynasty? After taking over the world, will Sha Ti Lie imitate the three generations and worship the heaven on Mount Tai? Haha, this barbarian is so ambitious.
Wang Ben quietly ordered the generals around him to keep everything he saw and heard today in mind, and when he returned, he would look for an opportunity to report Huaiguzi.
The generals all nodded in agreement.
Wang Heng said in a low voice: "Father, there is a difficult problem now. Do we want to take these cattle and sheep back to Daqin?"
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment and had a headache.
Taking the cattle and sheep back, didn't this help Huai Guzi win the bet? But if you don't bring your cattle and sheep back... These days, these Huns are guarding you day and night, and there is no chance of slipping away.
The Huns were kind-hearted and patrolled day and night, saying they wanted to guard against some Donghu people.
In fact, Wang Ben knew best. How could there be any Donghu people in this place? But there was no way to tell the Huns the truth.
Alas, let's take it one step at a time. Once we reach Da Qin, things will be easier to handle. These Xiongnu cavalry can't follow Da Qin, right?
…………
In Xianyang City, many people became restless.
After all, the one-month deadline is getting closer and closer, but there is not even a hair on the cattle and sheep that Li Shui mentioned.
Li Xin sat in Shangjun's villa and said to Li Shui: "Could it be that Shati rebelled and killed our envoy? If this is really the case, it will be dangerous."
Li Shui said: "Brother Li, don't be anxious. Xianyang City is far away from Shanyu Wangting, and they won't be able to come back so soon."
Li Xin sat down, drank a sip of wine, and said to himself: "Yes. It's a long journey, and I won't be able to come back so soon. When I went there, I rode a fast horse, but when I came back, I had to bring cattle and sheep. If you stop and go, you won’t be able to go any faster.”
Li Shui hummed.
Li Xin raised his head and asked in confusion: "Brother Huai, are you not worried at all? If something happens to the envoy, you will be killed."
Li Shui said: "No. Your Majesty will use me to make elixirs, so he will definitely not kill me. According to my opinion, the worst result is that your Majesty takes back the gold medal for immunity from death, and then puts me under house arrest in the palace. At that time, I will If you argue with reason, it will take at least ten years to refine the elixir."
"Although staying in the palace for ten years will definitely be uncomfortable. But... I finally saved a life."
Li Xin asked curiously: "Can you guarantee that in ten years, you can refine the elixir?"
Li Shui said nothing, thinking: "I can only guarantee that Ying Zheng will be dead in ten years."
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, if I am really under house arrest in the palace, I will leave the outside affairs to you. You must protect Mr. Fu Yao and ascend to the throne. Otherwise, if Hu Hai Ascension to the throne puts us all in danger.”
Li Xin nodded solemnly. He felt that Li Shui was a bit of a bastard, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In fact, Li Shui never even thought about being placed under house arrest. He was already planning his escape.
There were seven days until the end of the month, so Li Shui decided to wait until the fifth day. If no cattle or sheep were delivered by the fifth day, he would put on makeup and run away.
He had stored enough dry food and water, left Guanzhong, and walked all the way to Chudi. The place was vast and sparsely populated. It had just been pacified and was full of thieves. It was very difficult for the Qin soldiers to arrest them.
Of course, Li Shui did not intend to tell Li Xin these plans. After telling Li Xin, Li Xin must be in a dilemma.
He would most likely help him escape, or at worst conceal the information, which would make him an accomplice, and Li Shui didn't want to drag him into the trap.
Suddenly, Li Shui remembered that Shang Yang had also escaped, but failed and was captured and sentenced to quartering.
Li Shui shuddered, looked at Shang Jun's Courtyard, and thought to himself: "Isn't this place cursed? Damn it, I won't run away. Why should I run away if I'm a popular drinker in Xianyang City? Even if Ma Lingshu could sue me, then I would be living in a dog's belly. What's more, the emperor knows my difficulties and will probably find a way to keep me. House arrest in the palace is only the worst possibility. I myself You have to fight for it too.”
After some analysis, Li Shui found Cang Fu in high spirits.
Cang Fu has just recovered from his illness and is instructing the craftsmen to clean Shang Jun's courtyard.
Li Shui asked Cang Fu: "How much money do I have now?"
Cang Fu scratched his head and said: "I can't read, and I can't count very well. I can't tell you how much money the adults have. In short, it's a lot, and I'm as rich as a country."
Li Shui hummed: "You have to do something for me. Buy horses, cows, and sheep in secret."
Cano asked: "How much do you want to buy?"
Li Shui said: "Thousands of good horses, cattle and sheep, the more the better."
Cang Fu immediately realized that Li Shui was preparing for the bet. He said worriedly: "Sir, are you unable to deliver Shatilie's cattle and sheep? If you cheat like this, what should you do if you are accused?"
Li Shui said: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty will protect me."
Ying Zheng knew what was going on with Sha Tilie and also understood that Li Shui would not collude with the Huns. Therefore, Li Shui will be saved.
However, if Li Shui loses the bet, even if Ying Zheng protects him, there will be no excuse.
So, now Li Shui wants to give Ying Zheng an excuse.
Even if Li Shui bought these cattle and sheep, do you have proof? Can you tell the accents of cattle and sheep? Are you speaking Guanzhong dialect or Xiongnu dialect?
Pray for blessings from gods and Buddhas and make you rich, but you also need to buy a lottery ticket. Ying Zheng is Li Shui's god and Buddha, and these cattle and sheep are the lottery tickets prepared by Li Shui.
