Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 260
"Okay... we don't move, you must not hurt Princess Mingzhu!" Huang Chenyan raised his hand with a sullen face, signaling that all the soldiers would retreat.

She stared at Huerhe's face that looked a little hideous because of nervousness, and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

With Xia Zijin in Huerhe's hands, everyone in Dalai naturally didn't dare to act rashly, and they followed Huang Chenyan's instructions and retreated.

I saw the remnants of the Xiongnu scrambling to pick up weapons from the front and move closer to Huerhe. The original number of Xiongnu soldiers, who were nearly [-], were attacked by Dalai soldiers, leaving only a few thousand people in the central area. up.

Xia Shengqing watched Xia Zijin being trapped by Huerhe, and seeing her uncomfortable expression, she felt distressed and angry at the same time, but Huerhe knew that he had a close relationship with Xia Zijin, and stared vigilantly at her with falcon-like eyes. For Xia Shengqing, he was afraid that he would step forward and rescue Xia Zijin.

"Hmph, don't you think that we Huns are exhausted by now. Let me tell you, the matter has just begun! In the end, only us Huns can occupy this frontier land. After all, you are going to be honest with us Huns Take it!"

While commanding the soldiers of the Huns to retreat, Huerhe muttered.He was not convinced by the current situation. As the leading general of the Huns, he had promised that the King of the Huns would return in triumph. It is also difficult to escape the harsh punishment of the Huns.

What's more, he is a majestic Hun boy who stands up to heaven and earth, what else?If he couldn't attack ponds and plunder the land in his lifetime and become the leader of the fearsome Huns, why would he survive in the world.

Hu Erhe sneered twice, detained Xia Zijin and retreated to the tent with the Huns army.

The sky was lit with flames, and the fire at the other end of the granary was getting more and more intense. The thick smoke and dust were mixed with the crackling sound of grain and grass burning, and there was a burning smell of millet in the air.

Huerhe ordered a small team of Huns to fight the fire, but the fire was so big, and the climate in the frontier was dry, the grain in the granary was destroyed after a quarter of an hour of burning.

On Dalai's side, Huang Chenyan and Xia Shengqing were discussing ways to save Xia Zijin, and now Huerhe was extremely wary of the Dalai people, and it might not work if he tried to ambush them, so he had to borrow Qiao Jin came to deal with the Huns.

Bounded by a sand dune, there are Huns on the left and Dalai people on the right. Both sides are looking at each other vigilantly. The soldiers of the Huns on the other side of the granary are rushing in and out, gritting their teeth and rushing into the flames. , Move out bags of unburnt grain one after another and put them on the ground outside the tent.

If their bodies were touched by fire, they could only roll on the ground to put it out immediately. In a barren and dry place like the frontier, water sources are very scarce, and even daily drinking is very scarce, let alone luxury enough to fight fires.

"You guys, move faster!"

Huerhe urged the soldiers who were rushing in and out, holding Xia Zijin with one hand and holding the scimitar in the other hand to draw strokes at the soldiers. My heart is not very peaceful.

Xia Zijin was really uncomfortable being detained by him, not because he was afraid of hurting her with the scimitar in Huerhe's hand, but because the smell of the Huns was very pungent, as if a steamed bun that had been rotten for many days was put on the bed. to her nose.She squeezed her nose to take a sneaky breath, waved her slender hand twice in front of her nose, turned her head to look at Huerhe who was switching between the Dalai people's ranks and the Huns' firefighting ranks, shook her head and smiled One sound.

"Hey, Huerhe, you don't feel tired when you look like this. If you let this princess go earlier, you can also rectify it earlier, right? You are the leader of the Huns. As long as you take the lead in surrendering, the emperor must also take the lead. Will save your life."

The erratic voice came into Huerhe's ears, his spirit was tense, and he was even more annoyed when he heard Xia Zijin's unhurried tone, so he whispered a word to shut up.

"Hmph, don't try to frame General Ben. Just now, that woman surnamed Huang can say that she wants General Ben's life. You are in the same group who vent your anger in your nostrils. Would you still ask General Ben to plead for mercy?"

Huerhe obviously doesn't believe Xia Zijin's words. Although there are many people in Dalai right now, if Huerhe finally becomes angry, Xia Zijin can't guarantee his life.

She had to find a way to change her predicament.

"General Hu, do you think this princess is honorable enough?"

"What do you mean?"

Huerhe stared at her suspiciously, not understanding why Xia Zijin asked such a stupid question at this time.

"Hey, this princess is the Pearl Princess conferred by her father. Naturally, her status is not comparable to that of Huang Chenyan, a little general girl. Although she holds half of the military power, the person who decides in the army is still the prince's brother. As long as You let the princess go and submit a letter of surrender. This princess will definitely say a few words of kindness to General Hu in front of the prince's brother. When he returns to the capital, General Hu only needs to express his sincerity to his father, who loves him the most. Cai, I will definitely not let General Hu and other generals bury Cai."

She pursed her lips, the corners of her beautiful mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were shining like fireflies.

Huerhe sneered: "You don't want to frame people, this general clearly sees that you and Huang Chenyan are like sisters, will you help this general to fight against her?"

As he said that, he looked Xia Zijin up and down again, and decided in his heart that this woman was lying to him.

"Love is like sisters." Xia Zijin chewed these four words twice between his lips and teeth, and suddenly sighed quietly, "General Hu only knows one thing and doesn't know the other. In this world, even sisters will turn against each other one day. , not to mention people who have no blood relationship at all. You only look at this princess with a pleasant face towards Huang Chenyan, but you don't know that this princess has been annoyed by her long ago. If Huang Chenyan hadn't snatched away my beloved Prince Lin, This princess will not be reduced to getting engaged to a eunuch."

As she spoke, she raised her wide sleeves to impress the corners of her eyes, and her shoulders trembled twice.

"This princess pretends to be nice to her, but it's just to get close to her so that she can get in touch with Prince Lin. Huang Chenyan is very fond of her father. If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid she won't care about this princess' life or death. , why does this princess want to help her?"

Hu Erhe really didn't know that Xia Zijin and Huang Chenyan still had such a complicated entanglement, seeing Xia Zijin's sad and self-sorrowful appearance, which didn't seem like a fabrication, so he became a little bit more thoughtful.

"You said. You have a problem with Huang Chenyan, and you are willing to help this general?"

Xia Zijin sighed and nodded: "General Hu, if you don't believe me, you can ask a Hun soldier who knows what happened to Da Lai in recent years to see if this princess is lying. Speaking of which, this princess is very reluctant. Seeing Huang Chenyan do meritorious service, besides, my princess's life is in General Hu's hands at this time, so there is no benefit in lying to you."

He stared at Xia Zijin's face with suspicious eyes for a long time, then made an expression of disbelief again, and said, "Even if you have a problem with Huang Chenyan, so what? This general is a Hun People, and you are from Dalai, are you not afraid that your conversation with this general will be known by the Dalai people, and they will inform the emperor of Dalai? Besides, this general may not be willing to surrender to your emperor."

Xia Zijin nodded and smiled, brushed her broken hair behind her ears with her fetal air hand, adjusted her stance slightly and asked, "Why, does General Hu think you have any other way to go now? The Xiongnu There are less than 1 soldiers left. Even if you Huns are brave and good at fighting, if you fight ten against one, you will not be able to defeat the Dalai army with sufficient manpower. Just look, today's 3 horses are just a small number. There are still [-], what does General Hu think you can do to fight back?"

"This..." Huerhe sweated slightly on his forehead. He didn't expect that the Dalai people had a backup army, and they couldn't deal with the 3 horses, so how about adding another [-].

Seeing that Huerhe was bluffed by his random talk about reinforcements, Xia Zijin smiled inwardly, and looked at him with a stern expression that seemed to be contemptuous.

"Leaving aside the problem of reinforcements, even if General Hu can break through the siege of tens of thousands of people and flee back to the capital with the remnants of your Hun soldiers, so what? Is it possible that General Hu is still counting on your Hun King to reward a defeated battle? The king's anger is like a raging fire, and it is only appropriate to use one's life to quell the anger, General Hu thinks, could this person be you, huh?"

Huerhe kept a sullen face and didn't say a word, but he had already listened to Xia Zijin's words for seventy percent in his heart.

No one understands the violent and cruel character of the King of the Huns better than him. He has been diligently serving the King of the Huns for so many years, but he never dared to overdo it. If there is a mistake, it will offend him.

If he really ended up in a mess this time, what should he do if he brought the remnant soldiers back to the capital of the Huns.

I am afraid that due to the nature of the Hun King, it is really possible that he will be executed as an example to others.

Thinking of this, Huerhe couldn't help but panic in his heart, but he still tried to pretend to be calm on the surface.

"You don't have to say it anymore, don't think about confusing the general's mind with gossip!"

"Whether this princess is going to deceive the public, General Hu knows best in his heart. If General Hu wants to be a victim of killing chickens and monkeys, this princess will naturally not stop him, but if General Hu surrenders to Da Lai, it will be another matter." The situation, after all, we have brought about the rule of the country with benevolence and principles, the father and the emperor respected the way and loved talents, and the defectors from all over the world have never been treated badly."

"Besides, Dalai is the most abundant country in the world. Doesn't General Hu want to try what it's like to live in the fertile land of Wu and Shu?"
