Master’s letter reads: Dear disciple, You’an is well informed: I have received a secret report that there has been civil strife in the country recently, and the whereabouts of Wu’er Sultan and his children are unknown. Please confirm this as soon as possible after reading it.
After reading the letter, the little eunuch was suddenly struck by thunder, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and almost fainted. Wang Xiaowu saw that his face suddenly became ugly, and knew that something unexpected must have happened, so he hurriedly asked:
"Brother, why are you worried? Could it be that something big happened at the border?"
The little eunuch smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This is my private matter. It seems that I can't return to the court. I'll write a letter. Please give it to the Queen Mother in person. My memorial will be handed over to the emperor in court. I want it."
Let’s go to the border for a visit, and we’ll leave soon without further ado.”
Hu Sanjian said, interjecting: "Since my brother is going to the border, I will go with him so that I can have someone to look after me on the way."
Zhu Linzong and below, Hua Shixiong, Zhang Facun, Huang Ren, Xiao Tianlei, He Laowu, Chi Fatang, etc. all wanted to follow him.
The little eunuch smiled and said: "You are all people who have made meritorious deeds. You will be rewarded after entering the court. Why are you running around with me?"
Zhu Linzong fell to the ground, kowtowed and said, "I don't want any bullshit reward. It's enough to follow my master in this life!"
Hua Shixiong also knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I will follow Master Ding too. Wherever you go, I will follow you and stay with you."
All the generals knelt down, and the little eunuch helped them up one by one, and said sincerely: "We are all brothers. From now on, we are not allowed to kowtow! In that case, please follow my arrangements. Mr. Hu, the prince and his father-in-law will bring people to Beijing to meet the saint. Hua
Shixiong must be returned. This time, the emperor will definitely use him in an important way. We can't just wander around outside. The empty inner courtyard is also a big taboo. Lao Hua can be put to good use. At the same time, I went to Fanbang to find someone. One person can't do it alone, so I have to work hard.
Brothers, Zhu Linzong, Zhang Facun, Huang Ren, He Laowu, Xiao Tianlei and Chi Fatang will follow me."
Hua Shixiong is originally a villain, but villains can sometimes accomplish big things. It depends on who is under his control and how you use it. Hua Shixiong is gone. His fortune is shining brightly, his career is prosperous, and he can reach the sky in one step. This is a story for later.
To talk about
The two families broke up. Hu San, Wang Xiaowang, Hua Shixiong and others held hands and bid farewell to the young eunuch in tears.
The young eunuch and Zhu Linzong and his party, a total of seven people, turned a corner and headed straight to the north instead of the capital. The seven horses drove away in a few days. When the young eunuch and the others arrived at the border pass, Marshal Meng personally welcomed him out of the pass.
The eunuch dismounted and was about to kneel down. Meng Boxiong immediately helped him up and said with a smile:
"As a master and disciple, you should worship me. According to my official position, I want to worship you, so I just don't have to."
The little eunuch insisted on worshiping him, saying that once he is a master, he is always a father! Meng Boxiong refused, and the two had to avoid this set of red tape. The little eunuch wanted to ask the master for more details, and Meng Lang said:
"I just listened to the brief introduction of what happened by the soldiers who ran over there. If you want to know the details, you'd better go by yourself. And it's not too late. If you go late, Wu'er Sultan may be in danger of his life."
"Is it a civil strife or an attack from outside?" the young eunuch asked urgently.
"It's civil unrest"
"At that time, I killed ten of their rebel generals in one go, but I didn't expect that the root of the disaster would not be eliminated after all."
"How many people do you plan to bring this time? It's up to you to choose the people here," Meng Boxiong asked.
"The seven of us are enough. If we go too many, it will be useless. The goal is too big."
Meng Boxiong thought for a while and said: "That's okay, but you also need to put on simple makeup." Meng Boxiong instructed
"What are you wearing makeup for? You speak Chinese so much that people can hear it as soon as you open your mouth," the young eunuch said with a smile.
"Weapons should always be hidden?"
The little eunuch nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to Master."
Except for Zhang Facun and Huang Ren, the seven of them have short weapons, and the others have heavy weapons, especially Zhu Linzong's two yin and yang hammers, which weigh three to five hundred kilograms at least. The young eunuch's spear weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms.
The total amount was estimated to be about a thousand kilograms. Meng Lang ordered the carpenter to make a long wooden box, put all of it into the wooden box, and hitched a donkey cart to pull it up. Everyone still rode on horseback or walked, pretending to be traders, and entered.
Fanguo
In the vast desert, the sky and the earth are connected. Looking up, there are boundless grasslands everywhere. The little eunuch didn't know if his Wu'er Sudan was still alive at this time, so he couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout: Wu'er Sudan, where are you?
The little eunuch decided to go to Fanbang's capital to explore the news first. It would be an exaggeration to say that the Fan family's capital was a city. There were very few brick and earthen houses, most of them were rows of tents set up randomly according to local conditions. There were some fences around it, and a huge rope was tied to the entrance of the fence.
An extremely large dog with an extremely ferocious appearance. If anyone enters, they must first obtain permission from the dog.
The little eunuch and the others did not understand the language or the text. They saw a large tent, which looked like a hotel. The little eunuch ordered Zhu Linzong to go in and inquire about it. They would first find a place to stay and then discuss it.
Just as Xiao Zhu was about to enter the hospital, a vicious dog pounced on him. Zhu Linzong flew up and kicked the dog. The dog suffered pain and howled strangely before retreating to its nest.
The owner heard the dog barking and was lame on one leg. He was about to have a seizure when he came out. The little eunuch suddenly saw that this man was kind-hearted. He suddenly remembered that this was not the shepherd he met when he came in last time. Without waiting for the man to speak,
, the little eunuch stepped forward and asked:
"Brother, you don't recognize me?"
The shepherd took a closer look and said in surprise: "Isn't this my benefactor who saved me from the wolves? Please sit down in the room, please sit down in the room!"
The courtyard of this house is very large. Apart from the two or three tents, there is open space within the fence. The young eunuch’s donkey, cart and horses entered the courtyard without appearing nervous.
The shepherd's wife had a tile face, a big round face with two big eyes and a big mouth, but her nose was pitifully small. The couple was making tea and pouring water, and the pot was filled with chaos.
With fragrant lamb meat and hot cream tea on the table, the shepherd said a few words to his wife. The woman immediately looked at the little eunuch with admiration and gratitude, and nodded repeatedly at the little eunuch.
Without waiting for the little eunuch to ask questions, the shepherd explained:
"My dear friend, it's not that I'm unloyal. Last time in the sheepfold, I was hit by an arrow in the back as soon as I climbed up to the house. I suddenly fell off the roof and broke my leg. I don't know, my dear friend.
How did you escape from danger later? It seems that our female single Yu has a grudge against you. When she saw you, she was so fierce that she waved her hand and arrested you. I wanted to say something to you at the time, but later she even arrested me.
It's okay now, the female single Yu has been imprisoned by her two cousins, and no one will be able to deal with you anymore."
"Why did Shanyu's two cousins arrest her?" the young eunuch asked pretending to be casual.
"Struggle for power and profit! This is not a common thing in our family," the shepherd said.
While they were talking, the mutton was ready. The shepherd's wife brought a large basin over to them, without even passing the chopsticks, and asked them to eat. Zhang Facun, a few southerners, had never seen eating like this before, and they all looked at the little eunuch and the little eunuch.
The eunuch smiled and said:
"Catch it with your hands, eat it with salt, and pour wine into the bowl."
"Is this a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, Master?" Zhu Linzong asked
"Yes, this is the way to eat on the grassland."
After dinner, the young eunuch asked Zhang Facun to take out one hundred taels of gold. The young eunuch took the gold and handed it to the shepherd with both hands, saying:
"Brother, this is a little bit of our kindness. If you accept it, there will be plenty of room for you in the future!"
The shepherd refused to accept the offer and said: "My benefactor, you saved my life from a pack of wolves. I haven't repaid you yet, so how can I accept such a heavy gift from you? I want to help you, as long as I can do it."
Yes, the character of our shepherds is to stick to our word and never refuse.”
The little eunuch said: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, I am here to take revenge. My enemies are the people who captured me last time. Please accept the gold first, and we will stay with you for a few days from now on."
"It doesn't matter if you stay for a few days, or for a year and a half. You can eat as much as you want and drink as much as you want. Why do you need so much money?" The shepherd still refused to accept it.
The little eunuch lowered his face and said, "Brother, if you don't accept it anymore, we will go live somewhere else."
The shepherd saw that the little eunuch's face changed, and then he said: "Since my benefactor is forcing me to give you, I will take half of it. I really don't dare to take any more. My benefactor saved my life. How much money it will cost, no one can do it."
You are so heartless. I failed to save my benefactor in the sheepfold last time, and I am still worried about him to this day!"
When the little eunuch saw him saying this, he couldn't force himself anymore.
"Brother, let's be fair, what do you think of your daughter, that woman?" the little eunuch asked the shepherd.
"My benefactor, do you want me to speak truthfully?"
"certainly!"
"Our Shanyu King Wu'er Sultan is a good person. She has done many good things for our shepherds, and everyone will remember her!"
"So big brother, we are on the same path."
"Aren't you going to kill her to seek revenge?"
"How could it be? She is my wife." The little eunuch told the truth, and there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Ah, so you are the prince of the Han people?" Shepherd was surprised, stood up from his seat, and was about to kneel down and bow down.
The little eunuch held him up and said angrily: "Brother, this is your fault. Now that we are a family, why are we so polite?"
"You want to save our King Shan Yu, and I will risk my life to do it for you! I can also help you contact some herdsmen brothers," the shepherd said, patting his chest.
The little eunuch said: "I won't contact you anymore. You alone are enough. We are here. We are not familiar with this place. We mainly want to know about the situation in the palace."
"My lord, what do you want me to do?"
"Can you help me find out where Ur-Sultan is being held?"
"I have a cousin who works in the palace. I will ask him tomorrow."
"Okay, but this matter must be done confidentially and cannot be leaked." The little eunuch handed the fifty taels of gold on the table to the shepherd again and said, "Brother, take this with you and ask Lubi for the money."
It’s easier to ask for directions with your mouth.”
The shepherd nodded and said, "Then I will put it on."
The little eunuch then asked: "Brother, please hide our donkeys, carts and horses. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for someone to see."
"It's okay. This is a carriage and horse shop. Aren't strangers coming here every day?"
The little eunuch didn't sleep a wink all night. He didn't know whether Wu'er-Sultan had been harmed by those two traitorous cousins, as well as his precious children, Batu and Wulan.
