"promise!"

The sound of responses made the army soldiers mostly come from evil young men, seemingly casual, but there was an invisible discipline to restrain them.

"Don't Fu Jiezi plan to stay overnight in Xuanquan?"

Ren Hong was shocked, knowing that there was not much time left for him, but he was not in a hurry and said, "It should be like this when you wait for the game, but eating meat is still too dry, and the food is not enough to be served."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaogou handed over the pottery pot: "Water?"

“Too light.”

Ren Hong looked at Sun Shiwan and smiled and said, "I know that Brother Sun has something that is sweeter than fine wine!"

"Me?" Sun Shiwan looked at himself blankly, searched around, but there was nothing, and finally his eyes were frozen in his lower body.

God, what Ren Hong said is not just peeing, right?

Although they were on a mission to the Western Regions and fell into the desert when they were most water-deficient, Lao Sun had really drunk this thing, and it seemed not sweet...

Ren Hong didn't expect that he would think three times. He hit his palm a few times, and asked several disciples from Xuanquan to come and support him, saying loudly:

"That is the heroic deeds of Gong Fu showing his power in the Western Regions and killing the Huns in Kucha. Brother Sun might as well talk about it in detail so that we can serve with this feat!"

...

After Xuanquan was opened, Fu Jiezi finished changing clothes and changed into dusty clothes, he found that the elderly, lame husband was still waiting at the door.

Graceful hair and honest face, familiar.

"I remember your name is Xu... Fengde?"

"Mr. Fu still remembers me!"

Xu Fengde was a little excited. This was almost the central leader, and he remembered the village party secretary's rush.

Fu Jiezi said: "The Xuanquanzhi is different for me after all. Why did I have a long history in the army of General Ershi? When I returned to the army, I passed here and died of heatstroke. It was all because of a mouthful of Xuanquan water that I survived."

That happened more than 20 years ago. Xiao Shichang, who was in the Western Expedition Army, is now the independent Han envoy.

"Since then, I have been passing here again, so I have a little attention. By the way, who is the first man from Xuan Quanzhi?" Although Fu Jiezi looks rough, he is actually as careful as a hair.

Xu Fengde replied: "The third one."

He asked again: "Duke Fu wants to hang the spring and rest overnight? The bedding in the upper house is ready."

"Don't stop, after eating the evening meal, feed the horses, we must set off immediately and rush to the next stop!"

Fu Jiezi held the flag in his hand and looked to the east with a hint of worry in his eyes: "I will rush back to Chang'an and report to Your Majesty and the General!"

...

Next to the naan pit outside the Xuanquan was sitting in a circle, and Sun Shiwan was surrounded in the middle.

"When he left, Duke Fu had already blamed King Loulan and King Kucha on behalf of the emperor, so that he would not collude with the Xiongnu and intercept the envoys from the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty. If there is a Shanyu envoy passing through the border, he should report to the Yumen Commander to know."

As long as he doesn't mention the bloody horse, everything is easy to say. Under Ren Hong's instigation, Sun Shiwan, who was still talking about his side, was already hyping up the heroic deeds of the delegation in the Western Regions.

The location of Kucha (qiū cí) is Kuqa County, a later Western Regions Province. It is a brilliant pearl on the northern Western Regions Road, with a population of nearly 80,000. It is also considered a great country. Because it is adjacent to the Xiongnu’s Rizhu King’s garrison, it is very afraid of the Xiongnu and always sways between the Han and the Huns.

Sun Shiwan said again: "A few months later, when we returned from Dayuan and returned to Kucha, the courtesy of King Kucha remained the same, but Gong Fu noticed something strange, so he asked Lu Jiu to ask the waiter of Kucha..."

The translator Lu Jiushu immediately snatched the words: "I pretended to know everything, questioned the little minister of Kucha, and asked him, "The Hun envoy has come for several days, and is now there?" The servant was frightened, so he confessed in full, saying that the Hun envoy returned from Wusun and was in Kucha! He was welcomed by the King of Kucha and was polite to the Han envoy!"

"So Duke Fu imprisoned the servant and summoned us to drink together. When he was drunk, he said: You and I were both edicted by the county magistrate, and sent Loulan to the Western Regions to collude with the Xiongnu to obstruct the rest of the peace. The Xiongnu envoy is in Kucha, and I am afraid that he will teach the King of Kucha to rob and kill us. Once the King of Kucha is shaken, we will be collected and sent to the Xiongnu. Dozens of officials and soldiers will fall into the wilderness and be eaten by the jackals. What should I do if I can do it?"

Sun Shiwan said: "We also understand that in a dangerous place in the terrible realm, life and death are naturally all due to Duke Fu!"

"Yes, this body, life, and life are all handed over to Mr. Fu!" The envoys and soldiers said one after another, and they had absolute trust in Fu Jiezi.

"So Mr. Fu took us and attacked the building where the Huns envoys were located at night. The Kucha guards outside did not dare to stop them, so we broke into the door."

"At that time, the Huns were in the courtyard. The Huns had good martial arts skills and could even lead the bow and shoot two officials and soldiers. But he was ultimately defeated by Gong Fu. He was cut through his chest by Gong Fu and died on the spot. All the other Huns were killed!"

"It's a pity that the Xiongnu envoys were too few, and they were killed by the Xi cavalry one by one. I didn't even get to the head."

Sun Shiwan was full of regret. If he could be killed one or two levels, it would be a good contribution. Although the Han Dynasty's military merit system had long collapsed, anyone with military merit would be much better in promotion.

"When King Kucha arrived, he saw that the wood was already in a boat, so he could only thank him again and send him out of the country with gifts."

Sun Shiwan proudly pointed to a square van parked in the stable: "The heads of those Beiliu have been pickled and placed in the car, and are ready to take them back to Chang'an!"

"It's really wonderful! Such heroic deeds are indeed more intoxicating than fine wine!"

Ren Hong praised him, but he muttered in his heart: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger? No wonder Fu Jiezi became Ban Chao's idol, and his routines are the same. It really has a connection."

Everyone in Xuan Quanzhi was also very excited to hear it. They asked for details with each word. When Lu Duoshu got Ren Hong's advice, he suddenly asked:

"You all go out to kill the Xiongnu envoys, who will stay to take care of Tianma?"

Sun Shiwan said subconsciously without guarding:

"Hey, two horses died long before that..."

Lu Jiush reacted quickly and immediately covered Sun Shiwan's mouth: "The deputy envoy said not to mention this matter!"

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, but fortunately, Luo Xiaogou shouted, "The meat is cooked!"

He brought up the mutton tan filled with pottery plates, and a large stack of baked naan, and said to the missionaries: "I will teach you a way to eat it."

As he said that, he made a demonstration, pinched a baked naan, picked up the mutton on the skewers, rolled it up and ate it together. After eating, he also took a sip of the mutton soup just delivered by the kitchen, and made a long sigh of satisfaction.

This taste is very beautiful!

"Leave me a bunch!"

Everyone forgot what happened just now and went forward to fight for it. No one noticed it. Ren Hong quietly withdrew from the crowd, looked up at the sky where the sun was still shining, and breathed:

"I understand now."

Although Fu Jiezi's mission to the Western Regions was also responsible for condemning the two countries of Loulan and Kucha, since he was the main mission of the horse supervisor, he would still welcome Tianma back.

But two heavenly horses died of illness at least before arriving in Kucha. It was impossible to return to Dayuan thousands of miles away. Now, Fu Jiezi's mission was in a dilemma and was in a dilemma.

Just as the mission was about to fail, the Huns sent their heads up at this time...

The life and death decision is right in front of you. If you leave silently, you may be able to return to the Han Dynasty safely, but Tianma failed to welcome it back, and the mission will be punished.

If you take the risk of killing the Huns, although it is likely to fail and all be destroyed, if it succeeds...

"You can make up for your mistakes!"

Now, many strange things have been understood: why Fu Jiezi did not care about his main mission when he was in danger in Kucha.

Why did the clerks keep silent about Tianma?

Understanding the truth of the matter did not affect Fu Jiezi's image in Ren Hong's heart at all. Instead, he admired the Han envoy even more.

"What a Fu Jiezi!"

Ren Hong smiled: "What a gambler who wants wealth and danger!"

Only such a person can make a career in the Western Regions!

"However, Fu Jiezi is not sure now, can he compare his merits and demerits?"

There were many Han envoys who were punished for failing to complete their mission. For example, Gongsun Hong during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, was summoned for the first time and was ordered to go on a mission to the Huns. Because the mission was not satisfactory, he was sent back to his hometown.

If Emperor Wu of Han had not been summoned for the second time, if the people from the State of Wuchuan still recommended Gongsun Hong, the career of the white-clothed Prime Minister might have ended here.

Now, although Fu Jiezi killed the Hun envoy, he did not bring back Tianma. How would General Huo Guang deal with him? It is still unknown.

This unknown and uncertain state of mind is very beneficial to Ren Hong.

"In this way, I'm not icing on the cake."

"It's a timely help!"

Ren Hong was very calm and said goodbye to Sun Shiwan and others who were eating roasted mutton with naan and drinking mutton soup with meals, and then walked into Xuanquanzhen.

He knew that the banquet for entertaining Fu Jiezi and others was about to begin in the hut...

Ren Hong patted his stomach: "I've eaten my appetizer."

"It's time to have a meal!"
