Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 78

Chapter 78
Zhang Junhou said: "What if the leader of the Huns is in the palace?"

A hint of sternness emerged from the corner of Xiao Chuan's mouth, and he said, "Then just kill him."

Zhang Junhou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Okay, if I can assassinate the leader of the Xiongnu, I am willing to throw my life here."

The South Gate of Jiaohe City is a main central axis avenue running north-south and more than 300 meters long. The main avenue follows the natural terrain from south to north, getting higher and higher.

In the "historical time and space live broadcast", Xiao Chuan saw that the whole city of Jiaohe was divided into residential areas, workshops, temples, pagodas, government offices, noble residences, and royal palaces.

However, the people of Cheshi Kingdom were all driven out of their homes. Huns soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets robbing and beating the people of Cheshi. Even the aristocratic mansions were occupied by high-ranking Huns officials. The people of Cheshi were full of grief and anger, but they dared not be angry. Speak up.

Xiao Chuan said: "Why are these streets so strange, like laneways?"

Seeing Xiao Chuan's puzzled gaze, Zhang Junhou explained: "The houses in Jiaohe City are not made of adobe, but a city dug out from the high platform of raw soil. The raw soil is stronger than the adobe. Master Che People dug out houses in the soil. In order to resist foreign enemies, the houses in Jiaohe City, including royal palaces and temples, were dug into the ground as rooms. All the houses facing the street in the city had no doors and windows, and the courtyards of the houses were surrounded by earth walls. A Fangqu, people want to go home, walk through the streets and alleys, and then turn into Fangqu to enter the house."

Xiao Chuan said: "Excavating soil to build a house is similar to the cave dwellings near Chang'an, and the narrow lanes that can resist foreign enemies are similar to those built by rich merchants in Jincheng."

Zhang Junhou asked curiously: "The hero has been to Chang'an and Jincheng?"

It was only then that Xiao Chuan realized that the area around Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was still densely forested, and there was not so much loess exposed outside, and the mansions of Shanxi merchants were only built hundreds of years later. , so he said vaguely: "Someone read it from a book."

Zhang Junhou praised: "The hero is really good at both civil and military skills."

At the end of the main road is a large square, and the magnificent big house behind the square should be the royal palace.

Xiao Chuan and the others stopped in their tracks, because the square was full of people, the Cheshi people were howling and begging, and the Xiongnu soldiers brandished knives and guns to maintain order.

Xiao Chuan whispered: "Go and see what happened."

Zhang Junhou took the lead and pushed through the crowd. Xiao Chuan and several other Han soldiers squeezed in. The Xiongnu soldiers maintaining order saw that they were wearing their own clothes, but did not drive them away. Xiao Chuan and others came to the front smoothly.

In the center of the square, there was a circle surrounded by Huns soldiers with a diameter of about ten meters. One was wearing a leather cap with a long pheasant tail on it. Ten Hun generals.

Opposite him stood an old man with gray beard and gorgeous clothes, who should be the old king of Cheshi. Behind the old king were dozens of nobles from Cheshi.

The leader of the Xiongnu said: "Queen Cheshi, why did you lead the people to resist our Hun army?"

The queen king of Cheshi said in grief and indignation: "Today you Huns come to beat us Cheshi, and tomorrow a big man comes to beat us to Cheshi. We have to submit to whoever comes. I am not reconciled. Today I only ask for death, and I beg King Zuoguli to let him go." my subjects."

King Zuoguli said: "Okay, the Queen of Cheshi is tough, I admire you, I can spare your subjects, but you must die, I want to make an example to others!"

A young man in his 20s rushed over, hugged Che Shi's queen, and said, "Father, you can't die, let your son die instead of you."

Che Shi Houwang stretched out his old hand, wiped away his son's tears, and said: "Father is old, death is not a pity, you are still young, lead the subjects to live well."

The aristocrats of the Cheshi Kingdom behind wanted to rush forward, but were separated by the Huns soldiers with weapons.

Zhang Junhou was excited, and he stretched out his hand to draw the saber, but was held down by Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan whispered in Hun language: "Don't be impulsive, let's see first."

Zhang Junhou nodded, and watched with a few Han soldiers.

The queen king of Cheshi pushed his son away, took out a bottle of medicine, poured it into his mouth, and said, "King Zuoguli, you must keep your word!"

After finishing speaking, the corner of Che Shi Queen's mouth bled and died of poison.

King Zuo Guli stretched out his thumb and said, "Hahaha, Queen Che Shi is indeed a warrior."

Then King Zuo Guli looked at the young man and said, "Ex-King Che Shi, gather all Che Shi's soldiers immediately and follow me to attack Jinpu City."

Kneeling on the ground, King Che Shiqian, who was holding his father in his arms, had red eyes and said angrily, "King Zuoguli, you don't keep your word. Didn't you promise my father not to kill Che Shi's subjects?"

King Zuo Guli rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "Ex-King Che Shi, this king promised your father not to harm his subjects, but the premise is that your country of Che Shi will be a vassal state of our Huns, follow our Huns Only by going to war can we keep our promise, otherwise, you Che Shi will destroy the country!"

A beautiful woman in her 20s who was kneeling on the other side persuaded: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Che Shi's subjects, you should lead your troops. I am here."

Che Shiqian Wang calmed down and said, "Okay, queen, take care of yourself."

King Zuoguli sent a commander to lead 1000 people to stay and guard Jiaohe City, and then led [-] Xiongnu soldiers and Che Shiguo allied forces to attack Jinpu City guarded by Geng Gong.

Ten of Xiao Chuan mingled with the Hun soldiers who stayed behind, and no one bothered.

The proud commander of the Xiongnu sent people to guard the south gate and the east gate, and then went to sleep in a noble mansion.

Zhang Junhou said: "Hero, why did you stop me from doing it just now?"

Xiao Chuan said: "First, thousands of Huns were present. We had to be killed before we could get close to King Zuoguli. Second, it would be better if the Queen of Cheshi was dead, so that the Cheshi people would hate the Huns even more, and it would be convenient for us. Pulling Che Shiren to our side is called a united front."

Zhang Junhou said: "United Front? Good name, hero, what should we do now?"

Xiao Chuan pointed to the front and said, "Let's go to the palace to find the queen."

In order to join forces with the Che Shi Kingdom, King Zuo Guli did not harm the palace, and even sent a ten-man team to guard the gate of the palace to avoid harassment from other Huns.

As soon as Xiao Chuan and others approached the palace, a ten-man commander shouted: "Stop, King Zuoguli has an order, no one else is allowed to enter Cheshi's palace."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ten Commander, we are the subordinates of the Thousand Commander who stayed behind, and the Thousand Commander asked us to send some food to the brothers."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuan raised the package in his hand.

The tenth captain had no doubts and said with a smile: "Damn it, you guys have robbed a lot of good things. I am the only one who is unlucky. I am drinking the northwest wind here, but the brothers are interesting enough and want to give us some food."

Xiao Chuan walked up to the Commander Ten and passed the package in his hand. The Commander was reaching out to pick it up when he suddenly felt a chill in his stomach, followed by a sharp pain. Looking down, he saw that a military thorn had pierced his stomach.
