Ji Han Liu Zhang

In just a moment, the orchid tree, which was full of ambition and high spirits the previous moment, turned into a corpse falling to the ground the next moment.

At this moment, all the Xiongnu commanders in the tent were shocked, with faces showing either confusion or shock.

Hulida, Qu Ke and others couldn't help but quickly glance at the fallen Lan Ke, and then hurriedly turned their heads to look at the entrance of the tent. The arrow that killed Lan Ke was shot into the tent from the entrance, killing him with a quick, accurate and ruthless blow.

But at the entrance of the tent stood a general dressed in Han army uniform. He was tall and strong, with long arms. He held a strong bow in his hand. The bowstring was still trembling because he had just shot an arrow.

Without dwelling too much on why a Han army general appeared here, Qu Ke reacted quickly and pulled out the scimitar placed next to the table and chairs. He shouted loudly and was about to step forward to kill the Han army general.

However, in another moment, when Qu Ke drew out his scimitar, a feather tail of an arrow suddenly emerged from his throat. The feather tail seemed to be a jumping elf, constantly jumping up and down slightly. With every jump, blood flowed from Qu Ke's throat.

Hulida looked terrified, his eyes wide open. He had just seen clearly that it was the Han general at the entrance of the tent who shot an arrow and ended Qu Ke's life.

Killing people with arrows is a common thing, so Hulida should not be surprised. However, the Han general shot an arrow as fast as lightning, with precision and elegance, which was unpredictable. He was an unparalleled archer, which made Hulida panic.

Qu Ke fell, but his two followers drew their swords to avenge their master and wanted to kill the Han general holding the bow at the entrance of the tent.

However, when these two tried to stand up, it was only a moment. Just like Lan Ke and Qu Ke who had just fallen to the ground, they fell on their backs one after another. They were also shot in the throat and died in one blow.

At this point, the Xiongnu captains in the tent did not dare to make any move. They understood clearly that if they made any move, the Han general standing at the entrance of the tent would shoot them to death in an instant.

Hulida stood where he was, not daring to move. He only looked at Huligai who was standing in the main seat. He had some guesses in his mind that it must be Huligai, the master, who betrayed them, otherwise why would a Han general appear here.

The next moment, Huligai spoke, which made Hulida confirm his speculation.

I only heard Hu Li change his words and say, "Please sit down, everyone. There's no need to be so reserved."

Having said this, Hu Ligai pointed to the Han general at the door and said with a smile: "This is also my guest. He is General Lou Zichu, who is under the command of the King of Qin. He is proficient in archery and chess, and his archery is unmatched. Even the best archer on the grassland can hardly compare to General Lou."

"Huligai." A vicious and hateful cry echoed in the tent, and Hulida roared in a low voice: "We are here to discuss a great cause and fight for the future of our Xiongnu, but you defected to the Han people and became their dog... There are people like you in the Xiongnu, and it can be said that your fate has come to an end."

Hu Ligai's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Hu Lida, what you said is wrong. We have surrendered to the King of Qin and we must be loyal to him. How can we betray our master and serve a stray dog ​​like Qu Bei?"

"Besides, the King of Qin has forgiven us and shown us no grudges. This is a great favor to us Xiongnu people. I am not an ungrateful person and would never repay kindness with grievances."

"Heh." Hulida sneered, "You are not ungrateful or disloyal, so we are ungrateful and disloyal?" Hulida sneered, "You are a Xiongnu, but you betrayed the Xiongnu tribes, wagged your tail at the Han people, acted like a loyal dog, and even treated your compatriots as gifts, betrayed us, and made fun of the Han people. You are so unrighteous, and your ugly behavior is exposed."

"Alas." Huligai sighed and said, "Although I come from one of the Xiongnu tribes, I also know the meaning of loyalty and righteousness. If I am disloyal to my master, I will not be a son of man... As for exposing you, ah, you have committed treason, and everyone has the right to kill you."

"That's all." Huligai saw that Hulida was about to say something to refute him, so he sighed and blocked Hulida's mouth, saying, "I'm telling you the principles of being a man, but you, a bunch of fickle barbarians who don't know loyalty and righteousness, don't understand it."

Huligai bowed to Lou Fa at the entrance of the tent and said, "General Lou, these rebels will be handed over to you for punishment."

"Yes." Lou Fa nodded in response, and then a team of Han soldiers in helmets and armor entered the tent and tied up the Xiongnu captains who wanted to rebel one by one. They were tied up tightly without any room for movement. Some of them wanted to resist, but they could not turn over under the attack of the soldiers.

As for the two envoys Lan Ke and Qianchang Quke who were killed by Loushe, their heads were cut off and used as props to determine the merit and as a deterrent to the other Xiongnu tribes not to have any second thoughts or to make any rash moves.

Within a few days, at the execution ground in Jinyang City, a group of Xiongnu captains knelt in line, about to be punished by swords and axes. Their heads were intact and blood was surging.

"Lord Du, please spare my life. Today I will only obey your orders without any second thoughts." A Xiongnu captain begged for mercy, his tone sounding like a cuckoo crying blood.

"Right, right, right." Another Xiongnu captain echoed the previous one's words of begging for mercy and said, "I was blinded by lard in the past and believed Qubei's bullshit, so I did stupid things."

"I hope you will spare my life. No matter if I have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a cauldron of oil, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

“Hahahaha…” Shrill laughter rang out from the execution platform. The person who made the noise was Hulida, a thousand-man leader of the Xiongnu. He looked sad, but heroic. He shouted sternly, “Chop off your head if you want. It’s just a death. How can you act like a woman? You really bring shame to us Xiongnu people.”

There was silence on the execution platform for a moment, and then the voice begging for forgiveness rang out again. The Hun captains ignored Hulida's words. They only hoped to save their own lives. Nothing else mattered.

But Du Ji's face was just cold, without any ripples. He followed the story and waited until the sun rose to the zenith and the yang energy was at its strongest. Then he waved his hand lightly, and the heads of the thousands of Hun leaders on the execution platform fell down.

……

"What?" Qubei, the Right Xianwang of the Xiongnu, who was marching to Taiyuan County, asked with a look of disbelief, "Really?" in a trembling voice.

"Really." The scout who reported the news was 100% sure: "Lan Ke and the Xiongnu captains were betrayed by Huligai and surrendered in the East Market of Jinyang City. Zhang Ren also took advantage of the fact that there was no one to lead the Xiongnu tribes and slaughtered them indiscriminately. Thousands of Xiongnu were killed in a few days."

"Ah!" Qubei felt a splitting headache and couldn't even sit still on the horse. He fell on his back in a daze. (End of this chapter)
