The two of them just sat quietly. Ji Jie understood Rou Yue's mood at the moment. He also knew that ordinary enlightenment would hardly make her relax. Self-regulation was far more important than other people's enlightenment.
"Will we succeed?" Rouyue asked softly.
Ji Jie turned his head, nodded solemnly, and said: "It will definitely succeed! With your familiarity with Shan Yu Wangcheng and my wit, it is not difficult to save a few people! The enemy is showing us and we are hiding, they are not opponent."
"With your words, I feel relieved!" Rouyue smiled faintly, and it could be seen that she was not too happy in her heart.
"Haha, it's getting late, go back and rest!" Ji Jie also said with a smile: "Have a good sleep and set off early tomorrow morning. A good mood is more important than anything else, what do you think?"
Rou Yue nodded, stood up and went to her tent.
In fact, Ji Jie was not sure whether the trip would go smoothly. Although Shanyu City was called a city, it was very different from the cities in the Central Plains. There were just more people and more trades there. However, residents still live in tents, with few masonry houses and roads.
In this way, if something goes wrong while rescuing people, retreating and hiding will be a big problem.
Forget it, I just advised others to have a good mood, but why did I feel heavy? Ji Jie shook his head with a wry smile and went to sleep.
…
Shanyu Wangcheng, Dachanyu Wangjun tent.
The King of Baishan proclaimed himself the Chanyu King, named Wuli Chanyu. He sat on a chair covered with white tiger skin, his face as sinking as water, and four Xiongnu generals sat on his left and right.
"Ji Jie has already attacked the Nanyuan tribe. Kuo Lun is not very reliable and may not be able to block his progress!" Wu Li Shanyu asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone was silent. These eight people were all his former subordinates before he proclaimed himself Chanyu, and they were sincerely loyal to him. However, the territory of the Nanyuan Department was hundreds of miles away from here. It was also the season when the ice and snow melted, so the road was very muddy and difficult to walk. , only a fool would be willing to lead troops to supervise the army.
Of course Wuli Shanyu knew what his men were thinking, and whether it was a good idea to send troops at this moment, but he could not allow the Zhou Yan coalition to cross the territory of the Southern Plains and go straight to the Shanyu royal city.
Then he can only put more pressure on Kuo Lun. As long as he can contain Ji Jie for half a month, the Huns army will be assembled and the road conditions will improve. By then, there will be hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry. Going south, the more than 30,000 people of Zhou Yan's coalition army would be a piece of cake.
…
Early the next morning, Ji Jie and Rou Yue rode out of the camp before the soldiers got up. In order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, except for a few key figures, no one else knew about this operation.
At the same time, in order not to attract the enemy's attention, Ji Jie specially wore Huns' clothes. The saddle, weapons and bows and arrows were also replaced by the ones commonly used by the Huns. Both of them also wore windproof facecloths.
The horses under their crotches were marching very fast, and they were ready to travel day and night to reach the royal city the day after tomorrow.
The first day of walking went smoothly. I met several groups of Huns on the road, but they didn't attract their attention.
On the afternoon of the next day, the two of them entered the territory of the White Mountain King's followers. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, both of them changed their appearance.
Living in the open, living in the open, life was hard enough. Fortunately, Ji Jie put a lot of delicious food in his Sumeru Ring. Rou Yue was surprised every time he took it out.
In the evening, the two met a group of shamans. After a brief chat with them, Rouyue learned that they were invited by Uli Shanyu to perform sacrificial activities in Shanyu's royal city. The two immediately chatted with them enthusiastically and made up a story. With the excuse that he wanted to see the majestic appearance of King Shan Yu, he immediately joined their team.
The two dispelled the suspicion of the shamans by eloping as a couple. Elopements were very common in the Xiongnu. After young men and women were obstructed by their families, they would usually choose to fly away and return to the family after giving birth to a child. The elders had to admit this marriage.
King Baishan knew that his title of Wuli Chanyu was not obtained through formal channels. Over time, he would inevitably suffer rebellion from the old tribe of the Huns. His subordinates helped him come up with an idea and invited shamans from various places. A grand sacrificial event is held in the royal city, during which some deceptions are used, and all the magicians are asked to preach that it is destiny for King Baishan to become the Shanyu King.
Even if he can't get everyone to be loyal to him, he can still deceive most of the ignorant tribesmen. As long as he controls most of the people, even if the rest rebel, it can only be a small fight and will not become a phenomenon.
Thinking of this, Rou Yue couldn't help clenching her fists, wishing she could kill the White Mountain King with one punch right now.
Ji Jie quickly pulled Rou Yue's sleeves, covering her domineering fists, and winked at the same time.
Religion and politics are always inseparable. These shamans know the truth very well, so they don't care who becomes the king and how they become the king.
Ji Jie brought out strong wine, and the shamans drank it happily. How could the bad wine of the Huns be compared with that brewed in the Central Plains?
During dinner, a very troublesome thing happened.
That's the problem of how to sleep at night. The shamans set up a tent, and it's no problem for a dozen grown men to squeeze together. Ji Jie and Rou Yue's current relationship is that of elopement lovers, so they can't live in a single tent. Bar?
That would arouse suspicion. After finally getting along with them, he wanted to use their identities to sneak into the tightly guarded Shanyu Royal City.
"What should I do?" Ji Jie asked in a low voice.
Rou Yue's pretty face turned red and she replied: "What else can I do? Don't you know what to do? Set up the tent quickly. You don't want to sit in front of the fire all night, do you?"
Ji Jie chuckled, took out the tent and quickly set it up, and then shouted in a decent manner: "Wife, let's go to bed!"
Rou Yue's face turned redder, and she walked to him and whispered: "We here call our women mother-in-law, and rarely call them wives!"
Ji Jie was covered in cold sweat. Just because he rarely screams does not mean he never screams. Fortunately, it is like this! Otherwise, the secret would have been exposed. He quickly opened the door curtain and deliberately said triumphantly: "Mother, you go in first, and I will add some firewood to the fire." !”
Rouyue, who was lying down in her clothes, felt uneasy. She had never lived in a tent with a man in her entire life, let alone slept together.
Thinking about Ji Jie's often cynical appearance and how he looked at her all over her body while taking a shower, she quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her body.
A few minutes later, Ji Jie walked in, glanced at Rou Yue who was lying on the blanket, smiled bitterly and said: "What are you doing? Are you used to sleeping like this? No, you caught me last time When I broke into your tent, you were obviously wearing pajamas..."
"Stop talking!" Rou Yue was almost dying of embarrassment.
