On New Year's Eve, the Western Wall was completed.
At this moment, Song Che was standing on the wall trench, looking towards his hometown in the heavy snow.
Hu State also celebrates the New Year, but compared to Daliang, the New Year here is really not interesting enough.
The longing seems to be out of control.
"Mr. Song, come down quickly, Father Khan and the others are coming!" Bach greeted loudly from under the wall. I am happiest today than the prince.
Timur and the accompanying ministers arrived at the foot of the West City in a mighty manner. Everyone who saw this high wall felt unbelievable.
Song Che came to Timur's chariot, touched his chest and saluted, pointed to the city wall behind him and said: "Great Khan, it is built as scheduled, please check it."
"The east wall and the south wall have just been half-renovated, and the west wall has been renovated. It is so majestic and beautiful. Mr. Song is really a strange person." Timur praised.
Song Che smiled and said: "Song only provided the construction plan. The real contribution was His Highness Bach. In order to supervise the construction of the wall, he lived at the construction site. He got up early and worked hard all day long, not daring to relax for a moment."
Bach glanced at his two brothers proudly, but said modestly to Timur: "The city wall is built to benefit the people. As the prince of King Hu, all this is what a son should do."
"Huh." Sultan was the first to refuse, "Third brother, is it too early for you to speak so grandly now? Mr. Song promised not only to repair quickly, but also to repair well and firmly. You just It’s just one of them.”
Kuimu also chimed in: "Yes, I heard that my third brother used gravel to build the city wall. How can this gravel make the city wall strong? I'm afraid it's just for the sake of speed, not for the sake of it, right?"
"It's a mule or a horse. Can't you just take it out for a walk?" Bach greeted loudly:
"Come on, bring on the sledgehammer!"
Two slaves carried two big hammers.
Bach pointed at the sledgehammer and said to the Sultan and Kuimu: "Since you two brothers feel that the city wall built by my brother is not strong, how about you two personally verify it?"
"Just try it!"
Sultan and Kuimu each grabbed a sledgehammer and walked up to the city wall. They rolled up their sleeves, spit in their palms, and swung it hard against the wall——
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Each hammer was full of force. The two of them hit it angrily more than a dozen times in a row until they were exhausted and panting. They only chipped away some of the wall skin, but the wall remained intact.
"Your Highnesses, you don't need to exert any more effort. This wall built by Song cannot be penetrated even with explosives." Song Che shouted at the wall with his palms raised.
Sultan and Kuimu threw their sledgehammers angrily and walked down the city wall angrily.
"The father is sweating, but the son is disobedient!"
"I'm not convinced! My eldest brother and I both relied on our own abilities to build the city wall, but the third brother asked others for help. This competition is obviously unfair!"
"Ha... Big brother, second brother, at the banquet in the past, you kept agreeing to compete, and you never stipulated that outsiders were not allowed to help. This point can be proved by the ministers and tribal leaders," Bach sneered: "If you have If you have the ability, you can also ask a capable person like Mr. Song to help. It's a pity that you don't have this ability."
"you--"
"okay."
Tamerlane put an end to the quarrel and said to Sultan and Kuimu: "In the past on the hunting ground, you failed to distinguish the winner from the loser, so I agreed to let you build the city wall and compete again. Now that the winner has been decided, don't do it again. This is a pointless quarrel, the most important thing you should do at this moment is to humbly ask Mr. Song for advice on how to build the city wall firmly and well in such a short period of time."
"My son... listen to Father Khan's teachings!"
They gnashed their teeth.
"Mr. Song, this Khan promised you that if you can repair the wall, you will be rewarded heavily. What do you want?" Timur asked Song Che.
Song Che said: "Tomorrow the Great Khan ascends the throne, Song will build this wall as a gift to you. May His Majesty the Emperor live long live, long live, long live!"
"Oh? Hahaha... If all the ministers of our Hu State are half as talented as Mr. Song, not to mention the grassland, but the entire Eastern Land and the entire Rizhao area will become the territory of our Hu State! Hahaha……"
Amidst the snowstorm and laughter, Timur drove back to the palace.
His compliments undoubtedly pushed Song Che to the forefront again. The foreign ministers headed by Arhan were so jealous that they wanted to eat Song Che.
New Year's Eve.
Desolate and miserable.
After the servants were dismissed, only Song Che and Tuya were left in the mansion. Now Tuya has also left, and he is the only one left in the huge house.
After the construction of the city wall was completed, Bach seemed to feel that he had lost his role. Most of the thirty guards left, and the remaining few stood guard outside the courtyard like jailers, and their attitude was no longer as respectful as before.
After all, a foreign country is not home. This loneliness comes from the depths of the soul.
How could he not run away from such an indifferent place?
late at night.
Half asleep and half awake, a sense of danger flooded into his brain. Song Che opened his eyes as a reflex. Before he could sit up, a heavy punch hit his face.
Feeling dizzy, spinning, and losing consciousness.
"Woof woof woof..."
Dog barking, endless barking.
Song Che, who already had a splitting headache, felt his head buzzing due to the barking dogs. He rubbed his head and calmed down for a while before he could see clearly——
This is a secret room. The wall lamp hanging on the wall emits extremely weak firelight. Looking down from the light, three chained hounds are struggling to break free, drooling and barking at him. , as if to eat him alive,
Song Che was extremely horrified and hurriedly shrank back, but there was only a cold wall behind him.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Stop fucking screaming!"
Song Che took off his boots and hit the hounds hard. Unexpectedly, instead of restraining themselves, they started barking more and more crazily. The chain was stretched straight and made a "clucking" sound.
"Clang-"
It sounded like an iron door opening.
Song Che hurriedly looked for information and saw Mo Yue Zhang Xu outside. A small window was opened on the iron door. The light outside was very bright and he couldn't see clearly where it was.
He tried to step forward to ask, but then something was thrown in, and then the small window was closed, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again.
Song Che fumbled for the object he threw in. It was sticky when he touched it, and the smell of blood hit his nostrils. When he picked it up and took a look, he jumped to the ground in shock——
This is actually a broken human leg!
Before he could throw the human leg away from his hand, the hound bit the calf first, as if to say: "Give it to me quickly!"
The hound tore off the human leg, and the other two rushed to bite and fight for food. However, within a moment, the human leg was torn apart...
Song Che stepped back to the corner step by step, his face turning the color of pig liver from fear.
"Clang-"
The small iron window opened again, and a pair of contemptuous eyes appeared in the window, accompanied by a playful greeting:
"Mr. Song, good evening."
The second prince, Kuimu.
