"Huang Mao'er, why is it that the way here is not to board a ship to the south of the Yangtze River?" A trembling voice came from the fast-moving carriage.
"Uncle Clan has not returned to the Central Plains for a long time. The road has changed. Just follow it." Huang Tian'er, who was riding a horse, said in a calm voice. Although it was not a life-and-death danger along the way, he was in the hinterland of Beiyu and faced many interrogations, and his flaws were almost discovered.
Many dangers are caused by this foul-mouthed clan uncle.
Turning his head, Huang Tian'er looked at Yin Hu, who was dressed as a manu. The two looked at each other, ignored Huang Daochun, and continued to follow the direction to the west of Kezhou, preparing to go around Dawan Pass.
Earlier, Xishu captured Dayuan Pass. To the west of Kezhou, two new grain roads have been built in Xishu. Of course, in order to guard against the garrison at Chenshui Pass, there are also additional city gates being built in Western Shu in the western area of Kezhou.
"Huang Mao'er, if you tell me something, I will recognize that this is Kezhou. Where is my clan brother? Where is my clan brother?"
Huang Tian'er was about to say a few perfunctory words, but unexpectedly, Yin Hu had already taken action and struck Huang Daochun with his hand knife. Huang Daochun rolled his eyes, drooped his head and fainted.
"Keep on going!" Yin Hu said in a calm voice after wiping his hands.
…
A few days later, Xu Mu, who was at Dawan Pass, finally received the news that Yin Hu had returned to Shu. From the time Yin Hu replied to the letter, more than half a month has passed without realizing it. Fortunately, there was no trouble along the way.
"Bolie, how about coming with me to welcome him?"
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "Very good. Maybe I haven't seen Mr. Yin for a long time."
Outside the city gate, several fur carriages drove in slowly. Yin Hu and Huang Tian'er quickly dismounted and hurriedly walked in front of them.
"Greetings, my lord!" Yin Hu's voice trembled.
Huang Tian'er, who was beside him, was also excited and couldn't control himself for a long time. Just like him, he had just entered Xishu and finally made his first contribution.
"You two don't need to be polite." Xu Mu smiled and helped them both up.
"Don't worry, my lord." Huang Tian'er pointed to a carriage in the middle, "That one, I thought of some ways and finally brought him back."
"Why is he silent? I seem to remember that he has a bit of a talkative temperament." Xu Mu was startled.
"My lord, it was a bit noisy along the way, so I simply knocked him unconscious." Yin Hu said seriously. Then he turned around, walked to the carriage, and carried Huang Daochun out like a dead dog.
Xu Mu looked at it, feeling a little resentful in his heart. Not just Huang Daochun, but also an extended character, Zhao Qingyun.
Snapped.
Yin Hu slapped his ears cleanly and sharply, and not long after, Huang Daochun's high-octave scream of pain suddenly rang out.
He ran staggeringly for a while and kept calling "guard". Finally, when he found Xu Mu standing in front of him, he quickly stopped talking and ran out of the city.
Of course, Huang Tian'er frowned and grabbed him back like a chicken.
"Xu, Brother Xu!" Huang Daochun was lying on the ground, unable to conceal the panic in his voice, but he had to pretend to be an old friend reunited.
"Brother Xu, don't forget that I was an undercover agent in Beidi and helped Brother Xu enter the Saibei grassland..."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. To be honest, he was worried about things in the north. Due to his current relationship with Beiyu, he had to send Yin Hu to go to the grassland himself.
Of course, it's not just about detecting foreigners, there's also Li Banbi over there in Beidi, who he wants to bring back. But the current appearance is not that of Yin Hu, and it is very likely that it has changed.
As for Huang Daochun, because Lao Huang's merchant helmsman took advantage of them and brought them back together.
At first glance, in the past five or six years, even Master Zao has not been doing well, and has become somewhat sallow and thin.
"I heard in the grassland that...Brother Xu made great achievements and became the king of Western Shu. Every time I think of it, I feel excited -"
"Master Huang, speak carefully." Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. In his heart, Huang Daochun was equivalent to a sinner in the Central Plains. As long as he asked about something, he would at least be sent to work as a coolie to open up wasteland.
"Brother Mu, I'll kill him!" Si Hu, who was walking by, grabbed a knife from the general and stepped closer.
Seeing this, Huang Daochun's eyes quickly turned, and his kneeling body suddenly became trembling. After a while, he seemed to have taken a gamble and shouted angrily.
"Brother Xu, Zhao Qingyun deserves death!"
Xu Mu smiled lightly and turned around coldly.
Si Hu next to him stopped for a moment, laughing happily. The person he hates most in the world is none other than that greedy dog.
…
"I... escaped from Beidi with Zhao Thief, and then we all joined the Sha Rong tribe." Kneeling on the ground, Huang Daochun wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
"Xu...The King of Shu also knows that the Zhao thief is sinister and cunning. After joining the Sha Rong tribe, he used despicable means to become a guest of the Sha Rong royal court. Later, he and Yi Sha The female slaves of the Rong army live in peace and contentment.”
"Female slave?" Xu Mu frowned. According to his understanding of Zhao Qingyun, when he is desperate, even if he wants to find a woman, he will cling to a high branch instead of a female slave.
But soon, Huang Daochun's next words made him feel on pins and needles.
"It's a slave girl plundered from Beidi. She is a Beidi woman. The King of Shu should know that although Sha Rong is weak, he will often take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the northern grassland of the Great Wall." Licking his mouth, Huang Daochun continued, "Then The Beidi slave girl is over thirty years old, and I didn’t understand before why Thief Zhao chose this slave girl.”
"But later I found out that the slave girl was the chieftain of a large tribe in Beidi. She was drunk and favored by King Sha Rong, and later gave birth to a son. His son... is called Hao Lianzhan."
In the military tent, Xu Mu sighed. Dongfang Jing next to him also closed his eyes bitterly.
"No one could have imagined that after the death of the old King Sha Rong, Hao Lianzhan killed several princes and became King Sha Rong. Hao Linzhan not only has the blood of the Sha Rong royal court, but also the blood of the Beidi people. Thanks to this, when attacking the Saibei Grassland, many Beidi tribes chose to surrender after a long battle."
"Today, the Zhao thief is protected by the Beidi chieftain in the royal court of Sha Rong. She is already a popular figure in front of Hao Lianzhan."
"King Shu, the dead dog has turned over." Huang Daochun said in a hateful tone. In terms of good looks, he seemed to be better, but in the end it was too late.
"Huang Daochun, tell me, what general position does Zhao Thief hold among the Sha Rong people?"
"Yougu Duhou, he is in charge of four tribes, with about five to six thousand people."
"Huang Daochun, what about you?" Xu Mu said in a deep voice. If I remember correctly, in order to collect intelligence from the north, Lao Huang provided Huang Daochun with a lot of resources.
A lot of the intelligence from the north should have been sent back by Huang Daochun. At that time, he was still doubtful that Lao Huang's methods were so powerful.
Listening to Xu Mu's questions, Huang Daochun lowered his head and spoke in a very low voice.
"Ma, Captain Manuying."
