Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 161
[Chapter 159: Wei Yu]
On the southern bank of the upper reaches of the Krullen River and the upper reaches of the Tula River, under the natural barrier of Yanran Mountain, there is a vast land with abundant water and grass and picturesque scenery, which is known as the Shan Yu Wang Court of Dragon City.
Every autumn, the Royal Court holds a forest walking convention. Twenty-four clans, including nobles with the same surname, Xiongnu with different surnames, and vassal states including the King of Kun evil, the King of Loufu, and the King of Xiutu, led their tribes to trek here. During the congress, in addition to reporting the population to Shan Yu, Gunna livestock, a celebration party was also held, and during this month, tens of thousands of yurts were held inside and outside the royal court, singing and dancing, and the bonfire was not extinguished all night.
This year’s Battle of the Forest was coinciding with the surprise attack of 300,000 cavalry led by Wu Wei, the King of Zuoxian, and according to advance estimates, within half a month at most, Yuyang should be destroyed.
If that comes true, the news will be the most heart-boosting victory for the Huns since they lost the Loop in the last two decades.
It was everyone, including Shan Yu, who was waiting for the war report to arrive.
What I didn’t expect was that after waiting for more than half a month, the bad news came that the attack on Shanggu was blocked, Wei Shao returned to the army, Uwei was defeated, and finally together with the surrender, a total of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were damaged.
One in every three people is not allowed to return.
In anger, Shan Yu stopped the feast that had been set up in the king’s tent every day, and it is said that he privately rebuked Uvi, who was trembling.
The herders who heard the news were anxious and uneasy, and inquired about the whereabouts of the men who had participated in the war in their families.
Although the forest walking conference continued, the atmosphere dropped from the high point of celebration to the freezing point in an instant.
In the night, Wei Yu was still drinking himself in the tent.
Several wine jugs in front of him were gradually empty, and when he was half drunk, the tent door was suddenly opened and a shaky figure broke in.
It was Zuo Xian Wang Uvi.
U wei seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his face was red, and he stopped in front of Wei Yu, a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him deadly, gasping for breath.
Wei Seemed unconscious, and poured another glass of wine.
“Wei Yu! I have sent someone to investigate, and in the days when I led my army south to attack the valley, you were not in the royal court! Shan Yu did not send you out to run errands, where did you go in those days? Wei Yu was
still motionless, and there seemed to be no such person in front of him.
Uvi sneered, “I knew you wouldn’t admit it!” I went south this time, well planned, full speed forward, and crossed the Sangan River in two days! If someone hadn’t informed the Han people in advance, how could border cities have been able to make such a comprehensive response in a short period of time! The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more suspicious you became! You are originally a Han Chinese, and when you came to the land of my king’s court, you ostensibly surrendered to me as a Xiongnu, but in fact you were a traitor sent by the Wei family! If it wasn’t for your secret tip-up this time, which caused me to lose the opportunity, why would my 300,000 iron horsemen not be able to attack a single valley? You don’t know me? When you came to the royal court, you have always disobeyed me, inciting those people of the Lan clan Huyan clan not only opposing me, but even plotting against Shan Yu! I killed you…”
He pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Wei Yu. It was just the severity of drunkenness, a knife cut, the blade was deeply embedded in the case surface, and it could not be pulled out for a while.
In Wei Yu’s hand, there was suddenly an additional gold-wrapped dagger, and between the electric light and flint, before he could see clearly, a blade of snow flickered by, and the dagger stabbed into Uwei’s heart, and the whole blade entered, leaving only a dagger handle protruding from the outside.
Wu Wei’s pupils narrowed suddenly, but his eyes were open like brass rings, and his eyes emitted an unbelievable light, and he fixed his gaze on the opposite side of Wei Yu’s pair of gray-black indifferent eyes that seemed to have no emotion, and his mouth opened weakly for a few times, and finally his body “poofed” and fell at Wei Yu’s feet.
Several of Uvi’s bodyguards rushed in at the sound of the sound, and when they saw this, they drew their swords one after another.
Wei Yu sat back after the wine case, looking indifferently at the spasmodic Uwei on the ground until he gradually stopped struggling.
He withdrew his gaze, craned his neck, and drank the wine out of his glass as if nothing had happened.
The guards looked at each other with a look of fear on their faces, slowly retreated, reached the door of the tent, and quickly withdrew.
Outside the tent, the autumn wind from Yanran Mountain whistled and blew through the top of one tent bag after another. In the distance, out of nowhere, there was a faint sound of a night flute blown by someone, whimpering in the distance, low and gentle, as if full of thoughts, nowhere to send.
A fierce wind suddenly rolled open the door of the tent, and the night wind rushed in, and in the flickering light and shadow of the candle in the tent, a beautiful woman dressed as a noble girl rushed in.
She wears exquisite embroidered patterns, green, red and purple shoulders with gold silk polyester trim, an eight-petal silver hammer hat, a large ruby at the forehead, and pointed leather boots.
It was Wei Yu’s former concubine Lan Yun.
Lan Clan originally belonged to the Xiongnu heterosexual nobility, one of the twenty-four parts, in the past this part was convicted and despised by Shan Yu, in the past few years, Lan Clan rose again because of his military achievements, Lan Yun’s brother was renamed Lan Wang, Lan Yun was also crowned as a second (princess), she was beautiful and beautiful, got the reputation of the Pearl of the Steppe, twenty-four marriage proposers were numerous, but all of them were rejected by her.
Lan Yunju was fond of the gradual general Wang Hu Tukun, which was already well known in the royal court.
Lan Yun hurriedly broke in, and when he saw Uwei, who was already dead with a dagger in his chest on the ground, his face changed drastically, and he pounced on Wei Yu and said in a trembling voice, “Did you really kill him?” You killed him?”
Wei Yu was as if he hadn’t heard it, and he poured himself another glass of wine.
Lan Yun grabbed his wrist holding the wine glass and said in an anxious tone, “My brother learned that Uvi was drunk and looking for you, so he followed you.” He had intercepted and killed the few guards of Uvi who had gone to report the news! Take advantage of the fact that you don’t know yet, you go fast! Wei Yu
withdrew the wrist that had been caught by her, his eyes still not on her, and said lightly, “It is better for Juji to return to Lanbu as soon as possible.” I’m here, I don’t need your memory.
Lan Yun looked at him sheepishly, his eyes showing a sad color, and slowly knelt down beside him: “I know that you are in pain in your heart.” When the king of the day kept expecting you to return, he sent me to your side, both to serve you and to act on the occasion. I took advantage of The incident of Qiao Nu, so that you could not face the people of the Wei family, and finally made you return to the Xiongnu, and now in the royal court, although everyone calls you Tu Kun, I know that you have always been rid of the mark of the Han people in your heart… I’m sorry for you. I was just a slut, when I was blessed by you not to kill, I knew that I was not qualified to stay by your side to serve, and Ben had no face to bother you again, but now, Uvi Ben was rumored in front of Shan Yu, saying that you reported to the Han people, and the Han people had to be wary before he lost the south, and I am afraid that Shan Yu has already become suspicious of you, not to mention that you have killed U wei in this way! I beg you, you go away…”
“Roll.”
Wei Yu’s eyes were glowing red with blood, and the wine was gushing, squeezing a word out of the gap between his teeth.
“Please… That Joe girl is your inner demon, please don’t torture yourself because of her anymore! Don’t you know that even if you hadn’t been forced back to the Huns, you wouldn’t have been able to get her in your lifetime—”
“You get me out!”
Wei Yu’s anger suddenly swept away Lan Yun, and the table in front of him was also kicked over by him, and the gold cup and silver cup fell to the ground.
His strength was so great that it caused Lan Yun’s wrist to fracture.
Lan Yun’s face was miserable, he fell into the corner of the tent bag, gritted his teeth and slowly climbed up, trembling with tears: “You just killed me, I also want to say!” You are no longer a Han Chinese Wei Yu! You are the Huns HutuKun! Hu Tukun’s name is now growing in the royal court, and its prestige is growing day by day. Please, from now on, cut off your past with a knife and two, and be a good Xiongnu…”
Wei Yu suddenly drew a gold-wrapped dagger from his waist, hurried forward, and bent down to grab Lan YunCollar, gritting his teeth, said, “If you say one more word, I’ll kill you!”
Lan Yun looked at him with a red look and smiled miserably, “The years that I used to be by your side, now that I want to come, it is my happy time.” You have to kill, you do it. This life of mine was left by you.
She closed her eyes.
Wei Yu stared at her deadly, gasping violently, and his eyelids kept beating.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent, and a close attendant voice came in: “Master, the king of the tent is coming, shan Yu chuan master quickly go!”
Lan Yun opened his eyes suddenly, “Don’t go! Although the news of Uvi’s death at your hands has been intercepted for the time being, the sudden spread of you in such a late night will definitely put you at your disadvantage! My brother, Huyanbu, and the Qiulin clan all support your father! No one wants to fight endlessly with the Han Chinese! You go quickly and consult with them…”
Wei Yu stood up straight, and only then did his angry look gradually recover, pushing Lan Yun away, turning around and opening the tent door and bending down to come out.
Several of his guards tried to follow, but were stopped by the king’s men.
“The host!” The Guards looked at him.
Wei Yu said, “You don’t have to follow me if you stay.”
Lan Yun got up from the ground and chased after him and called out, but Wei Yu did not turn his head back, and under the support of a column of king tent guards, he quickly walked towards the huge king tent in the distance that looked like a mountain bag.
The figure soon disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Lan Yun fell to his knees weakly and murmured, “… He’s crazy…… Doesn’t he want to live…”
She was so frightened by the thought that popped into her head that she jumped up from the ground like a needle, pushed away the maid who had chased her, turned over on her horse, and sped away.
……
In the middle of the king’s tent, a huge fire pit, the flames were raging, illuminating the four walls of golden splendor.
Late at night, Shan Yu did not rest, sitting in a golden chair with white tiger skin inlaid with gems, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Wei Yu.
Shan Yu has been in a bad age, this former steppe lord who ascended to the throne of Shan Yu by killing his father in his youth, now he can’t escape the baptism of time and has become an old dragon clock, especially after the news of the defeat in the First World War of Shanggu came, Shan Yu’s mental state was even more devastated.
The twenty-four kings who had come to the assembly had not seen him for several days, and they were secretly suspicious.
But even so, at this moment, Shan Yu’s gaze at Wei Yu still carried an incomparably powerful power.
“Where did you go during the days when Uwe led his army south?”
Shan Yu asked coldly.
Wei Yu stared at Shan Yu on the seat and slowly knelt down toward him, “I’m in Shanggu.” Shan Yu’s
eyes burst into light, and the palm that grabbed the throne circle slammed into it, and sheng Senran said, “Uvi said that it was you who reported to the Han people, which caused him to go south to be frustrated?” “Indeed
.” Wei Yu was calm and authentic.
“Not only that, but in fangcai, Uvi came to my account to kill me, and I killed him. His corpse should still be in my account at this moment.
Shan Yu stood up violently from the throne, his eyes were wide open, pointing at Wei Yu, his breathing was short, and suddenly, with a loud thud, he pulled out the sword in his waist and quickly walked down towards Wei Yu.
“Since you returned to the Xiongnu, I asked myself whether you were thin, and I did not distinguish you because you were better than the Wei family!” I also know that Uwe is incompetent, and once I die, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress twenty-four parts, so I have not considered deposing him as prince. Why did you take revenge, first through the Han chinese, and then kill my son today?” Shan Yu
questioned in a loud voice, and the knife hit the side of his neck and pressed down violently.
Sharp Blade Sensen immediately cut open the skin, drawing a bright red blood, and descended along the neck, instantly staining the placket red.
Wei seemed to be completely unconscious, his eyes fixed on a cluster of flames jumping in the fire pond, out of his mind for a moment, said: “I was born in the world, I am superfluous, not only failed to live up to the Wei family’s gift of life and nurturing, but also failed to live up to shan Yu’s grace of knowledge, not a person and not a ghost, pigs and dogs are not as good, it is natural to kill me alone.” When he finished
, he bent his knees and slowly knelt down, closing his eyes and looking calm.
Shan Yu glared at him, his eyes gradually became vicious, and at this moment, Wu Zhuqu, who was not neatly dressed, rushed in from outside the wang tent, looked hasty, and hurriedly stepped in front of Shan Yu, pouted and knelt down, and prostrated his head: “Brother Wang! Everything is my mastermind! But I didn’t want to sit idly by and watch Uwe do the work, so I ordered him to go and report the news! It was also because I couldn’t bear Uvi’s always provoking me, which made him find an opportunity to get rid of Uvi! Brother Wang wants to kill, kill me, have nothing to do with him!
Shan Yu stared at Wu Zhuqu and sneered, “He committed such a crime, he should have divided the body of five horses, in order to exonerate him, you should have contracted it, or, thinking that he is also a descendant of my WuJu clan, I will exempt him from the punishment of dividing the body of the five horses and leave him a whole corpse.”
He shouted the samurai inside.
In a chaotic series of footsteps, the door of the king’s tent was suddenly opened, and a whistle came towards Shan Yu’s lightning-like breaking wind, and with a pop, it was inserted into the center of Shan Yu’s eyebrows, and it actually passed through the bone and shot out of the head.
Shan Yu’s eyes widened, his body stiffened, and after a moment, the sword in his palm landed on the ground and fell straight backwards to the ground.
Hu Yanlie and Lan Ti had already killed Shan Yu’s cronies outside the king’s tent, and led the guards from outside to rush in, killing the guards inside the king’s tent, and then stepped forward and supported Wu Zhuqu.
Wu Zhu looked at his brother, who was dead but still had his eyes wide open, closed his eyes, looked at Wei Yu, whose clothes were stained with blood, took a step forward, and trembled: “My son, are you all right?”
Wei Yu opened his eyes, stared at the corpse nearby for a moment, got up, and separated the crowd from leaving.
That night, Uvi was afraid of being blamed for his defeat, so he killed Shan Yu and was counterattacked by the guards, and the news spread rapidly in the royal court.
The twenty-four noble kings in their sleep were shocked to hear about the change, and came from their respective big tents one after another, and after a period of chaotic deliberations, at the suggestion of King Huyan, King Qiulin, and others, everyone unanimously elected Wuzhu Qu to ascend to the throne, and no one objected.
The dawn in the east is slight, the autumn dew is still deep, dripping, like rhinestones condensed on the tip of the grass leaf, and the morning fog in the distance is thick and confused, like a white fluttering yarn, floating on the boundless wilderness.
Wei Yu rode over a pile of bonfires that had not been extinguished last night, and sped forward alone.
The horse’s hooves swept up the white ashes and scattered in all directions, blowing in an unknown direction with the wind.
He also did not know where he was going, and where he was going, and his heart was at a loss, like a lost man.
Once upon a time, the desire for power also made his soul burn and he could not sleep at night.
Now, it was only one step away from the peak of the peak where his blood had boiled.
This vast and abundant land can be stepped on by him, and even the land to the south, if he desires it, may not be without the possibility of contention.
But he was very excited, and the place of his heart seemed to be missing an irreplaceable corner.
No matter where he may be, this life may not be his place to stay.
He was just an outcast, he knew in his heart.
In the morning fog behind him, a fast horse caught up, and the closer it got, accompanied by the urgent call, wei Yu, the head of the front, finally stopped the horse and stopped.
Wu Zhuqu drove his horse to his side, and Hu Yanlie and the Lan brothers and sisters stopped behind and waited quietly.
“Woo hoo! Why did you want to go? The Father wants you to stay!
Wei Yu smiled lightly, “I have helped you get your wish and ascend to the position of Shan Yu.” What use is it for me to stay? Wu zhu Qu looked at him fixedly: “When the royal court is stable, the father and king want to repair the Han people and stop doing things.” If you are determined to go, the Father and the King will not be forced to stay. But the throne of zuoxian will be reserved for you. When you have figured it out, you will return, okay?
Wei Yu didn’t say a word, turned the horse’s head, and sped forward, and the figure washed away a cloud of fog.
Lan Yun shouted tearfully at the torn mist, “Wei Yu! I have been your woman for a day, and I have been your woman all my life…”
Before the words were finished, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, a man and a horse in the fog in front of me disappeared from sight.
“He’ll be back, won’t he?” Lan Yun covered his face and cried bitterly.
“Give him some time and he’ll figure it out.”
Ranti stared ahead and said.
