The envoy of Tiefu was able to pass through the long border fortress and Monan, especially to bypass the eyes and ears of the country and successfully reach the sphere of influence of the Zhao State, which can also be said to be full of hardships, and the departure fashion was the winter of October, the weather was cold, and when he arrived in Youzhou, it had already passed late spring and was about to enter the summer.

When they set out, there were hundreds of strong warriors in the clan, and when they really arrived in the territory of Zhao State, there were only a dozen or so people left, including Liu Wuhuan's eldest son, Xi Beqi. As for the others, they either died in various dangers on the way, or they fled directly because they were afraid of the hardships ahead.

The remaining dozen or so people are all embarrassed, and some of the goods they carried for tribute are naturally scattered, and the most ridiculous thing is that the token used to prove their identity is actually the Anbei General Seal awarded to Liu Hu by Liu Cong, the emperor of the Han State in the old years.

But in any case, it is gratifying to be able to successfully reach the Zhao State, and Xi Beqi also told the generals of Youzhou Town of Zhao State how they are eager for Zhao Enwei, and those Zhao generals will naturally not be overly concerned about this, and they know that in recent years, the Heavenly King likes this kind of Hu Yuan to come to worship, so he sent someone to escort them to the south.

Really entered the territory of Zhao State, these envoys of the Tiefu Department were all greatly touched, and Xi Beqi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "China's landscapes are really beautiful. Hate that I was born in the wilderness, and that I can't enjoy this place forever......"

In fact, today's Youzhou is far from being prosperous and rich, this realm is not the top fertile land in the summers, and there have been wars and chaos in the past few years, because there are many wastes in the realm. But even so, the mountains, rivers, climate and environment of Youzhou are not comparable to the bitter cold land of Shuofang.

Seeing many deserted fields along the way, these envoys of the Tiefu tribe couldn't help but sigh again and again in private, and even felt distressed. These fields are deserted, but they are lush with vegetation, whether they are used for grazing or cultivation, they are excellent places, and they are definitely a resting place worthy of the struggle of many tribes.

However, in the current Youzhou realm, this kind of wasteland can be seen everywhere, stretching into patches. Those envoys of the Tiefu tribe couldn't help but talk in private: "That Great Zhao Heavenly King obtained from the fertile land of China, but let it be barren and did not do farming, this is really a waste of the gift of the heavens, so cold to the will of heaven, I am afraid that the mandate of heaven may not be able to keep it for a long time......

These frontier soldiers suddenly came to China, especially just as passers-by, and still maintained a certain simplicity. However, when they entered the territory of Jizhou, there were more and more people, and there were many serf households on both sides of the road who were busy with spring ploughing, and they passed through many crossings and cities, and saw a large number of goods and goods, only to know that the abundance and beauty of China were far beyond their imagination.

Especially when they saw that the sergeants who escorted them were extremely arrogant, extorting and looting goods along the way, few dared to refuse, and they were full of envy for this kind of unearned deeds, and they hated to replace them with their bodies.

"It is really unfair of Providence that such a cowardly and unscrupulous people can enjoy this unique and beautiful world! All the courage of our clan have the courage of a wolf and a tiger, but because they are short of knowledge, they can only survive by father, son and son trapped in the wasteland, which is really unsatisfactory! That Great Zhao Heavenly King is just a mere species, taking advantage of the loss of China to make a first attack, he can dominate this heavenly kingdom and enjoy it inexhaustibly, why can't my clan? ”

Xi Beqi said this to the people in private, although he was in China, but he was only in a hurry, but what he saw had touched him greatly, and he was even reluctant to return to the cold frontier wilderness.

When the other clansmen heard this, they all nodded again and again: "The courage of our clan is not even afraid of death, and there has always been no lack of courage to fight for their lives. ”

Not to mention how many thoughts these Tiefu envoys had in their hearts along the way, when they arrived at the king's tent of Jingcheng Shihu, they couldn't help but be even more shocked.

The huge camp of dozens of miles of the vast company camp is even bigger than the clan land where their tribe lives, and the brave soldiers who come and go in and out of the camp, pulling out a team at will, are far more numerous than the people who can fight with their clan!

"I can control ten people, and I am already the oldest among people. His Majesty the Heavenly King was able to make so many thousands of people bow down to his orders, if it weren't for the addition of the Mandate of Heaven, how could this be something that human beings could do......"

Originally, Xi Beqi still had the ambition to win against China in his heart, but when he saw such a majestic military of Zhao State, he was shocked for a while, and his attachés no longer dared to think of presumptuousness.

These tribal warriors are indeed fierce and courageous in fighting for their lives, but if they are enemies of such a majestic army, it is no longer a fight for their lives, but simply giving their lives!

After the group of people entered the camp, they all obediently quailed like quails, obeyed Zhao Jun's arrangement and lived in a fairly spacious camp, and then waited for a long time to receive the king.

And in the process, they also saw other Hu envoys who came from afar to express their submission, and realized that in the eyes of the overlord of Hebei, Shi Tianwang, they were really just ants.

This time, the Tiefu people's self-perception was good, and in the eyes of Shi Hu and even his subordinates, there was really nothing special.

The Heavenly King came to the north and proclaimed his prestige, and came to take refuge in countless Hu tribes, large and small, either to seek the vanity of the feud, or to beg the Zhao State to allow them to survive on the border. The Tiefu Department may be a powerful force in the north, but after arriving here, it really can't be seen at all.

You must know that even the suzerain-lord Daiguo above the head of their clan is just a vassal in the northern border of Zhao State, and they are really a little overpowered to want to show their submission to Shi Tianwang in person and discuss military strategy.

But fortunately, after they were lucky, after those talismans representing their identities were handed over, because they were a little sensitive, they inevitably provoked Shi Hu's nerves, and wanted to see what kind of bold Han Zhao Yu actually dared to walk into his camp with the old country token.

Because of this occasional thought, these Tiefu people avoided waiting in the camp to be received like others, and were summoned in advance for months or even more than a year.

Xi Beqi trembled and entered the king's tent, and before he opened his mouth, he first made a big bow to the ground to worship, as a plugged side, he really didn't know what the Chinese worship etiquette was.

And this clumsiness of sincere fear fell in Shi Hu's eyes, but it made his mood slightly better, especially this Xi Beqi is burly and strong, even among Hu Lu, he is quite handsome physique, such a person trembling and prostrate on the ground, which naturally makes the Supreme Venerable feel more pleasing to the eye.

So Shi Hu was also rare and gentle, and asked people to help the Hun pawn up and enter the seat, and then asked about this person's intentions.

Although Xi Beqi was vulgar by nature, he also remembered his father's teachings before leaving, and only responded respectfully and humbly, telling himself all kinds of history.

After hearing this, Shi Hu's face suddenly sank and he snorted coldly: "Since you have surrendered to the acting master, you should strictly obey the orders of the acting master and guard the territory in peace, why did you trek far away and enter the tent to make this slave posture?" ”

Xi Beqi was already in a nervous mood, and when he heard Shi Tianwang's tone of anger, he hurriedly rolled up from his seat and bowed again, and said in a trembling voice: "The humble slave grows in the wilderness, and I also know that the great king Tianwei is like the sky. Everyone has a desire, such as the tiger and leopard outside the tent are very lucky to be fed by the king, and the animals are willing to serve the lord bravely, not to mention our little human side beard. The acting lord is just a dark cloud in Mo Nan, reflecting the glory of the king, and we who are far away worship him, but we still yearn for the true light of heaven in our hearts......"

When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then asked Xi Beqi to get up, looking at him with appreciation: "It's surprising that there are such knowledgeable warriors in Saihu." You compare yourself with the tiger and leopard under my gate, I want to see the advantages and disadvantages of the two, do the slaves dare to do a competition? ”

When Xi Beqi heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, and only reacted after a while, the cold sweat on his forehead was collected, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the skills are rude and offend the majesty of the king." ”

"I am hanging high every day, how can I bother the offense of the slave."

As he spoke, Shi Hu asked the tiger under the tent to carry it into an iron fence several feet wide and set it up directly in the big tent, and then asked this Xi Beqi to personally select the fierce beasts to fight. Seeing that Na Xi Beqi did not take refuge and choose weakness, but chose a black bear with a strong and fat body, Shi Hu's interest could not help but be even higher.

Na Sibeqi refused the iron armor offered by the warrior in the tent, but only chose a sharp knife and light leather armor, and after a little preparation, rushed into the fence.

After a fight, the black bear fell to death, and Xi Beqi was also covered in bruises, and one leg was bitten and slapped by the black bear, and the flesh was blurred, almost broken. He only gritted his teeth and insisted, first refused to heal his injuries, lay on the ground and licked the blood stains flowing on the felt in the tent with his mouth, and repeatedly accused him of deserving of death, and even defiled the king's tent.

In this way, Shi Hu couldn't help but be more satisfied with this Xi Beqi, and said directly with a laugh: "Such a brave and strong warrior, it really shouldn't be buried in the plug." You submitted the talisman before, it was the pretense of the former Han puppet emperor, I should have condemned you and beheaded you, but I pity your talent, and I am a senu who alienates the king's law, so I will forgive you for the time being. ”

After hearing this, Xi Beqi thanked him again and again, ignoring the blood flowing from the wounds on his body.

Shi Hu cherished the courage and humility of this Senu, not only did he no longer pursue the previous crimes, but directly conferred the title of tooth keeper in the tent, and then sent someone to carry him down for treatment, and then summoned him into the tent to continue to inquire about his intentions.
