Todo didn't know what force prompted him to come back here, as if his body was not his body, but someone else's. If someone had told him years ago, he and a dozen strangers could have stormed into Baitu City and, surrounded by a group of slaves, chopped up all the people who were in charge of the household, including the canal, the governor, the prime minister, and the little king. It turned into a puddle of mud, and he wouldn't believe anything he said.
But now it really happened before his eyes. He had just killed a little king from the Helian tribe. With tears and snot in his eyes, Napi Xiaowang begged him to give him a good time. Danghu stopped scraping his legs and opened his chest with a knife. Various organs flowed all over the floor like a torrent. No difference from ordinary people.
He did this in public, and there was a burst of applause around him. Such a cruel scene seemed like he had killed an evil tiger. A Han man who came with him joked with him: "Brother He Nai, you know now that all Lao Shizi masters are the stuff of one sword! If you can stand up to two swords on the battlefield, you are a great person. I think you are much stronger than them all."
In the past, Danghu would not have said this, and neither would today's Danghu, but what he was thinking was completely different. He wiped the bloody blade with his clothes and said with a smile: "Brother Li, now is not the time to talk about this. , if we do such a big thing, Shanyu and the adults in the Helian tribe will probably want to bite our bones into pieces. What we do next is the most important thing. You all are my benefactors, but in the final analysis, you are not slaves. I don’t know whether the way down is a trail or a highway, do you still want to walk with me?”
Those who dare to accompany a stranger to attack the city these days are either insane lunatics or daring madmen. It is obvious that these ten or so people are not the former. So they didn't leave. The bastard surnamed Gao was named Gao Zhun. He said to him in his bold voice: "Brother, don't look at the small number of us, but when it comes to fighting, even two hundred Huns in front of us won't do anything! You With so many people and not even a few meals to eat, we have to go wherever we want, don’t end up falling on the road!”
Having said this, everyone laughed again and walked towards Aikura in the city in unison. People in the Aibian are putting grain like a carnival. The corn in the Aibian is piled up like a mountain. Some people are transferring it, some are throwing it away, and some are lying in the rice piles with happy faces and dreaming. There are golden Toko corns everywhere, and An intoxicating, mature aroma.
The person who presided over the grain storage in Aucang was Qiqu, a member of the Herai tribe. He was sold to the Helian tribe as a serf years ago. It was he who led the immediate response to the households in the city, and the slaves successfully conquered Baitu City. , this Qiqu saw the person in charge and asked, "What is Shanyu going to do next?"
When he asked this question, everyone in the Awakura stopped what they were doing and looked sideways at Todo. The crowd's gaze was as heavy as a mountain, and as hot as fire. Most people would avoid it, but the person in charge felt that the mountain-like weight made him step on the ground. The flame-like enthusiasm removed the coldness in his bone marrow, and he wanted to Respond to these people's looks with firm eyes.
He imitated Gao Zhun's tone and said: "Let everyone eat first, and then we can go the long way! I can't say how far the road is, but it is not a shortcut after all. Wait until everyone is full. , eat, we will talk together here." After saying that, he was surprised that his voice was loud, as if the wind was helping him to advocate.
Everyone present cheered. The 20,000 slaves in Baitu City, whether in the city or in the city, basically had one meal a day. They lived without enough food for so long that they almost forgot what it felt like to be full. Feel. Danghu made an appointment with them to meet in the north of the city in the evening, took some pieces of preserved meat from the barn, and left the city with Gao Zhun and his party.
Li Hou was quite happy with his performance, and asked him with a smile: "Why don't you go to the king's tent in the city to lie down? I remember that this was the residence of Empress Helianchi two years ago, and it was given to Yijinhuo after the new year. Na Yijinhuo has been sitting in front of and behind your Shanyu Pond all day long, leaving the king's tent unused. It is said that the blankets in the king's tent are made of leopard skin, which feels like a woman's belly when stepped on."
Dang Hu ignored him, and he silently thought about his future solution. It's funny to say that he and these ten people fought back to Baitu. In fact, it was just an idea, an idea of revenge. He just wanted to kill those who were riding on his head, so that he could put an end to his past life. . Unexpectedly, this period was painted with too much color, which made him feel a little at a loss.
The idea of running away for their lives and going their separate ways briefly crossed his mind at first, but he gave up immediately. That was a coward's move, and he didn't want to be a coward. And when he thought of the wave of people cheering for him, the blood in his body was also boiling, stimulating his aggressive soul. He was just fighting a bloody path, not to mention there were so many people standing behind him. But his reason is also telling him that there are still many difficulties and there are countless things he needs to do.
Several people lit a bonfire near the city gate, sharpened wooden tips and inserted them into the meat, and roasted them one by one. Li Hou and Gao Zhun seemed to have endless things to talk about. While roasting, they talked about what they had seen today. Li Hou boasted: "When I first came in today, the four people in front of the door didn't have eyesight at all. I was six feet away from the door and walked forward. I stepped on it, and there was a chicken egg under my foot. The little maid raised it, and I thought it was dead! But they didn't even turn their heads. They took care of my dignity, Lao Li, so I sent them back to the west one by one. "
The man named Zuo Xiao widened his eyes, pointed at Li Hou and sneered: "How dare you say that? When my brothers were sent as scouts, you were so damn hungry that you said you couldn't eat cold meat, so you must eat hot food." Yes, we lit a fire in the forest on a sunny day, and it ignited the forest. The cavalry three miles away saw it and chased us all the way. We only escaped with water!"
Then they started to settle old scores, and several people were arguing in a lively manner. They didn't notice that the meat was already cooked and dripping with oil. After being reminded twice by the owner, they stopped and devoured it each. Finally, someone asked the person in charge: "Brother He Na, I estimate that with your new Chanyu's temper, there will be war in five days at the earliest. What are you going to do?"
Danghu said truthfully: "I only have a vague idea, not very clear, but one thing is always right. Baitu City will definitely not be able to stay. To the north is Meiji, to the south is Tiefu, and to the west is the desert. If you stay here, you will definitely not survive."
Gao Zhun laughed, still chewing the meat in his mouth, and asked him while eating: "Brother, you don't talk about the east side, don't you know that our Guo Shuai is a man who can stand up to the sky? In these days, how many people can we stand up to the court? Those who have won battles for many years have great courage. If you bring 20,000 brothers to vote, there is no chance that Guo Shuai will reward me with a county magistrate."
When Todo shook his head, he was unwilling to entrust his life to someone he had never met, even though he was indeed very grateful to these Baibo brothers who depended on each other for life and death as soon as they met. He wanted to give it a try, try to be the master of his own destiny. If he never tried, it would be difficult for him to convince himself why he came back here.
His attitude was clear, and the others stopped asking. They ate barbecue and drank a pot of Quyu wine together. Danghu also took a sip. The wine was not strong, even a little sweet, but it was unusually refreshing. He couldn't help but take two more sips, and the scene in front of him seemed to have more charm.
The sky gradually darkened, and the slaves in the city also gathered towards the door as promised. There were 20,000 slaves in the city, but not everyone wanted to rebel. But Baitu City is in a desperate situation. Even if you want to escape by yourself, you have nowhere to escape. You can't just debase yourself and become a slave in another place! Thinking like this, even if they were reluctant, most people came to the door. The tall, thin and lame man in front of them could make them adults again, and maybe give them another way to live?
When Danghu entered the city, he didn't feel anything, but when he saw the scene of people everywhere inside and outside, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, so he entered the city and climbed up the city wall. From the city wall, he looked up at the water of people's heads, wondering what was going on. How many pairs of eyes were shining with moonlight in the moonlit night, and a breeze blew by, refreshing and slightly tipsy. Only then did he realize that it was already spring. He had never noticed it in the city.
He said loudly to the people below: "My name is Danghu, and I am a man from the He Nai tribe. I am not a Danghu, let alone a prince." There was a commotion among the people below, and they did not expect that he would say such a thing. Many people People come here just to see a hero who can lead them out of trouble.
The owner continued to act as if no one else was around, and said categorically: "But I, the owner, am by no means a slave! In Dacheng, I have twenty acres of dry land, a wife, and a family. But the owner, Yi Jinhuo, saw that I was tall and easy to sell, so he They kidnapped me here. When I said I was innocent, they broke my legs! Did you also commit some crime to become a slave?" After saying this, most of the commotion calmed down, and they felt the same.
"What ability does Da Danghu have? He can just chop people, behead people, and act as a guard dog for Uvro! What ability does Uvro have? He can play with dogs and horses, collect gifts, and give It's just a guard dog that the imperial court kowtows to ask for reinforcements! They can do it if I don't know how to do it. If they force me to do it, I will have to do it."
Danghu ended with one sentence. He said in a deep voice: "I now want to return to Shuofang City, my home. If you are willing to go with me, just stand on the right side of the city gate. If you don't want to go, just stand on the right side of the city gate." On the left side of the city gate, I will leave food in the city, and you can take the food before leaving."
There were only a few slaves on the left side of the city.
He walked down the city wall, and Gao Zhun sighed and said to him: "Brother He Na, you have really chosen a most difficult path."
