Outside Gaoliu City, there are countless felt tents everywhere.
There is a dome in the center, which is the tallest and most gorgeous.
King Yan was pleased to be in front of Shan Yu's personal guards, and he bowed his head and walked in with Chen Yu.
"The great Chanyu Gutu, your most loyal servant, Yan Xi, has come to pay homage to you."
As soon as he entered the tent, Yan Wangxi ran towards Touman Shanyu who was sitting in the middle, got down on all fours and lay on the ground, with a most flattering smile on his face.
"Haha, our friends from the grassland are here, get up quickly."
Touman Chanyu laughed, his voice was very hearty.
Chen Yu's eyelids twitched. Although he couldn't understand the nonsense exchange between Yan Wangxi and Touman Shanyu, he could tell what it meant just from Yan Wangxi's humble posture.
Chen Yu couldn't lose face, so he just cupped his hands and said: "Chen Yu, a scholar from Wei State, has met the Xiongnu Chanyu."
Beside him, Yan Wangxi immediately translated and introduced him.
Touman Chanyu nodded, the smile on his face becoming more kind.
Then, Chen Yu's expression changed drastically.
Because he saw that in the royal tent, in addition to the smiling Touman Chanyu and several of his guards, there were two men dressed as Zhu Xia standing there.
One of them, a middle-aged man in dark robes and a long double-plate crown on his head that symbolized the title of Duke of Qin, was looking at him and King Yan Xi with a smile.
The envoy of the Qin people.
Chen Yu felt bad, but seeing Shan Yu beside him and the guards staring at him, he did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, King Xi of Yan also saw the two Qin people in the tent, and said in a trembling voice: "Chanyu, what do you mean by this?"
Touman Chanyu ignored him, turned to Li Shiqi, and said with a smile: "My friends from the grassland are already here. The envoy of the Qin people can take a look."
After the translator translated it, Chen Yu understood it. He squinted his eyes and felt his heart pounding.
"Thank you Shanyu."
Li Shiqi smiled and cupped his hands, turned to look at King Yan Xi, and praised: "The plan of King Yan is indeed powerful. Not only did he use the Taifu as a substitute, he also asked the charioteer to escape on horseback, attracting the attention of our Qin cavalry. This double
Under cover, King Yan escaped with his life, and even managed to escape to the Huns. King Yan's ability to escape is really admirable."
King Yan trembled but did not respond.
Until now, he still didn't know what happened.
His experience in the Xiongnu in the past few years had already made him realize that these barbarians had always been unfaithful and would only leave in pursuit of profit.
The reason why King Xi of Yan was able to persuade the Huns to go south was because he used the wealth of the Xia as a lure.
When he thought about this, he felt quite complacent, thinking that he could command the Huns to help him resist Qin and restore the country without spending a penny, which was really smart.
Unexpectedly, now, the people of Qin are also using this to deal with him.
Sure enough, the Qin envoy seemed to have confirmed his identity, and said to his opponent Man Shanyu through the translator: "My general is willing to make good friends with Shanyu. He will offer five thousand stones of grain, five carts of pearls, jade, and cloth in exchange for this King of Yan."
, it’s up to Shan Yu to decide.”
"Can't!"
King Yan shouted with excitement, turned around and shouted: "Touman Shanyu, have you forgotten the covenant oath you and Gu promised?"
Touman Shanyu ignored him, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
Although the Huns lived on animal meat and cheese, they could also eat grains.
Not to mention that pearls and jade cloth are rare items in the northern grasslands and are of great value.
It's so worth it to exchange an old man who has lost his use value for so many good things.
But Touman Shanyu did not agree directly. Instead, he pointed at Chen Yu who was standing behind Yan Wangxi, smiled at Li Shiqi and said, "What is this person worth?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yu's face turned pale, he turned around and fled towards the felt tent.
The Shan Yu guard guarding the door immediately showed his weapons. Chen Yu's sword was confiscated when he entered the tent. Now he was unarmed. Seeing this, he could only stop with a pale face.
He turned to Li Shi and said, "Zhao Tuo is such a good Qin general, but you didn't expect that he also has the intention of colluding with the Hu people?"
Li Shiqi laughed and said: "Collude with the barbarians? Hahaha, my general is just trading goods with the Xiongnu Chanyu, there is no such thing as collusion."
"On the contrary, it's you. Chen Yu, a famous scholar from Wei and Zhao, ran into the Huns' tent and said that we colluded with the barbarians. This is really a joke. But it's an unexpected surprise to see you Chen Yu here. I wanted to find you."
A King of Yan, I didn’t expect that he would also receive a great assassin.”
After saying that, Li Shi and his opponent Man Chanyu said: "This man has no title or official position, but he is just a knight-errant among the people. He is not that important. We can exchange it for fifty dan of grain."
Hearing this, before Touman Chanyu could speak, Chen Yu blushed and roared: "Zhu Zi'an is going too far!"
Chen Yu was very angry.
Fifty shi of grain?
You must know that at ordinary times, one stone of grain on the market only costs fifty or sixty yuan.
Fifty shi of grain is worth two to three thousand dollars, which is not even worth a single yi gold.
He, Chen Yuke, personally assassinated Qin envoys, Qi Prime Ministers, and Dongjun commanders, and also planned the assassination of Qin general Zhao Tuo.
He thought to himself that although he was not a prince or general, he was still a man of great influence in the world.
Now, the Qin envoy actually used fifty shi of grain to buy him from the Huns. For Chen Yu, it was a great shame and humiliation.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a sword in his hand and there were Shan Yu's personal guards watching him all around, Chen Yu would have wanted to rush forward and kill the Qin envoy on the spot.
Touman Shanyu glanced at Chen Yu with disgust.
Turns out he is a worthless guy.
He waved his hand to Li Shiqi generously: "When you came, you also brought fifty pieces of cloth as a gift. I don't want your things in vain, so this person will give them to you. As for this King Yan,
I will give him to you after you bring him food and jewels."
After the translator finished translating, Yan Wangxi and Chen Yu's faces were pale.
Li Shiqi looked at them and looked at them. His opponent, Man Shanyu, smiled and said: "Chan Yu is so heroic. This matter will be completed tomorrow after I report back to the general."
Touman Chanyu nodded and said: "Very good, your general is so generous, I am willing to make friends with him. Come, bring me wine, and I will drink with this envoy."
As he said this, Shanyu's personal guards outside the tent brought in mare's milk wine, filled it with wine collected from Gaoliu City, and handed it to the envoy of Qin.
Li Shiqi smelled the sour wine in the wine and laughed and said: "Okay, I, a Gaoyang drinker, am the best drinker in my life, but I have never drunk the wine of the Huns. Today I will try what it tastes like." .”
As he spoke, he drank from his mouth, his face turned red, and he shouted: "Happy!"
Seeing the Qin envoy's bold appearance, Touman Shanyu nodded in appreciation and ordered the Shanyu's bodyguard beside him: "Why don't you tie him up quickly and give him to Qin friends to take back."
Although Chen Yu couldn't understand Shan Yu's words, he could guess what he meant.
He roared angrily and tried to resist, but was soon thrown to the ground by several big Huns men, tied up and tied up.
Li Shiqi cupped her hands and said, "The Shanyu is very kind. Tomorrow we will bring grain, pearls, jade and cloth in exchange for this King of Yan. Please keep an eye on it for us."
After the translator finished speaking, Touman Chanyu laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I am still waiting for you Qin people's food and jewelry."
Li Shiqi looked at Yan Wangxi with a smile at last and said goodbye.
Two Shanyu guards carried the tied up Chen Yu and followed the Qin envoy out of the tent. They wanted to deliver this "gift" to the Qin envoy's car for him to take back.
Seeing the Qin envoy and Touman Shanyu reach a deal, and Chen Yu, who had been chatting and laughing with him just now, was given to the Qin people as a gift, King Xi of Yan was so frightened that his whole body was numb.
After Touman Chanyu watched the Qin envoy leave the tent, his eyes fell on King Xi of Yan.
He smiled and said: "Friends from the grassland, have you ever had enough to eat? Do you want another glass of kumiss?"
Hearing this, Yan Wangxi trembled even more.
The Huns have already reached a deal with the Qin people. As long as the Qin people send food and jewelry tomorrow, they will give King Yan to the Qin people just like they did with Chen Yu just now.
For only five thousand shi of grain and five carts of pearls, jade and cloth, he was sold to King Yan Xi.
The Huns are really good friends.
King Yan recalled that his son Yan Dan was torn apart by King Qin in front of everyone, and his whole body trembled even more.
The State of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin Zheng. This hatred was greater than that of the other five countries.
If he, King Xi of Yan, were taken to Xianyang, he might also end up being torn apart by a car.
"Gu must not fall into the hands of the Qin people!"
"These damn Huns only care about profit."
Thinking of this, King Yan's desire for survival increased sharply, and an idea came to his mind, and a strategy came to mind.
He stared at Touman Chanyu in front of him and shouted: "How can Chanyu sell me at a low price!"
"Gu is the king of the Yan Kingdom. The King of Qin once offered a reward for a thousand pieces of gold to Gu. Today, Shanyu, you sold Gu to the people of Qin at such a low price!"
"Chanyu, do you know how much reward those Qin people got after they brought the orphan back to Qin? Thousands of gold!"
"Great plough-bearing Gutu Chanyu, you have been deceived by these Qin people. If you want to sell me to them, you must increase the price!"
