Chapter 16: The Unquenchable Bonfire
"Collect the leaves!" Yun Yue shouted, and like a large groundhog, she began to dig up the leaves on the ground, desperately throwing those dead branches and leaves onto the fire. The billowing smoke rose up and choked Yun Yue. But he kept throwing it at the fire!
Murong Dan was just stunned for a moment, and then threw it up. One marmot, immediately turned into two. But the two of them kept planing, but the fire became smaller and smaller. The dead branches and leaves below are too damp to not only play a role in combustion. Almost crushed the fire!
"Stop! No, it doesn't work. Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! Murong Dan coughed while stopping Yun Yuedao.
The rats around were all scattered and fled by the smoke, and Yun Yue covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and coughed non-stop. This way, without a rat siege, the two of them can choke themselves to death on their own. After a while, the smoke finally cleared. Yun Yue and Murong Dan were already choking on their deaths, their faces covered with snot and tears. The flames of the fire were back in full swing, but it was estimated that they would not burn for long.
"We can't add any more wet wood, we'll be choked to death by the damn." Yun Yue coughed like a tuberculosis patient.
"What then? After a while, the fire is extinguished, and the rats will pounce. We're all going to be eaten! Murong Dan felt that he lacked any strength in his body. She fell to the ground, and she could clearly see a small head poking out of the crack in the rock. The cries of "squeak" and "squeak" increased again. If it weren't for the fear of the fire, I'm afraid they would have pounced. Thinking that he was as beautiful as a flower, but he was about to be eaten by these ugly little things, Murong Dan's heart twitched.
"No way!" Yun Yue sighed helplessly, now she can hold on for a while. I just hope that those killers around me will see the fireworks and find here sooner.
Yun Yue began to untie the padded jacket on her body, and she had no choice but to burn her clothes. Even stripping your bin is much better than being bitten to death by a mouse.
When the padded jacket caught fire, it quickly burned. The sudden brightness of the fire made the little mice retreat. Those "squeak" and "squeak" sounds were gone again, and the firelight not only gave people light, but also the warmth and safety that Yun Yue and Murong Dan urgently needed.
"Who are you?" Not everyone has the perseverance to take off their clothes in winter. Moreover, Murong Dan could see that this cotton robe was made of silk wrapped in expensive cotton, and she was the daughter of King Donghu, but she did not have such a garment. The man on the other side threw himself into the fire without blinking his eyes. It can be seen that his identity must not be simple.
"Who are you?" Yun Yue is full of vigilance, this girl is too impressive. And now the two are friends and enemies, but they are both in this unpredictable place, so they temporarily stopped the army and made peace.
"Alright! I am the daughter of Murong Tuoba, the king of Donghu, and my name is Murong Dan of the future Xiongnu clan. Presumably you are also an important person, don't lie to me with a fake name, then I will look down on you. Murong Dan glanced at Yun Yue and said.
This girl is indeed ice and snow smart, no one wants to be looked down upon by women, and she is such a beautiful girl with amazing appearance.
"Hah!" Yun Yue smiled and said, "You don't need to provoke the generals, I am Yunyue, the Marquis of Daqin Pingliang." You must have heard of me when you came so far to Pingliang. ”
"You're Yun Yue?" Murong Dan was taken aback, and looked at Yun Yue in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes by the firelight. No one told her about Yun Yue's appearance, and Murong Dan naturally didn't know Yun Yue. The man in front of him was tall, but not athletic. There are even a little obese, but there is a hint of coercion unique to the superior between the eyebrows. Unexpectedly, he actually got Yun Yue here by mistake. If Yun Yue is killed here, it seems to be a good choice. Thinking of this, Murong Dan was ready to move again. Just throw yourself into the fire and extinguish the bonfire. Yun Yue will definitely be gnawed by those rats until only a pile of white bones remains!
However, when you think about your beautiful face, you will not only be burned by the flames. And it will be gnawed by those rats, so Murong Dan gave up this tempting idea.
"What? Want to kill me? Yun Yue saw the fleeting murderous aura in Murong Dan's eyes.
"As long as I kill you, Pingliang will be leaderless. Naturally, our western expedition will also be completely victorious, countless Donghu warriors will survive, and countless Donghu families will also be members. Murong Dan gritted his teeth and said.
"Hahaha! I don't know where you got your confidence, I thought that the Donghu tribe would definitely defeat Pingliang. Have you ever been to Pingliang? Do you know how high Pingliang's walls are and how strong Pingliang's defense is? I assure you with my personality that the Donghu people will definitely shed their last drop of blood under Pingliang City. You don't even have a chance to climb the Pingliang wall, and my men can kill 30,000 of you in two hours. Do you have this ability? If I take 30,000 men, even if we are ambushed by you, will you be able to destroy us in two hours?
Over the years, I have fought against the Six Nations, and have brought out one of the most efficient armies in killing. In this day and age, they are the strongest. You guys! No way! Yun Yue stretched out a finger at Murong Dan, her expression full of contempt.
Murong Dan was a little speechless, this man was very arrogant. But she also had to admit that he had the ability to be arrogant. He was right, the Donghu people were not capable of killing 30,000 people in two hours. Not even in the case of an ambush.
Wuguang is not a coward, and the Wuheng clan is not a soft egg clan, but he is a relatively warlike clan among the Donghu clan. Even if it is his father, the most powerful Murong tribe in the Donghu clan. Attacking the Wuheng clan with all its strength will not achieve such results.
In fact, from the time he saw the Yun family's sophisticated armor and blades, Murong Dan was a little skeptical that the Donghu people could beat the Huaxia people. is also full of worries about this western expedition, after the Wuheng clan happened. This worry and anxiety intensified, and she began to feel that this expedition was actually a mistake. A mistake that can overturn the entire Donghu clan!
"We're here, and it's impossible to back down easily. The Donghu people are not cowards, and they will run back when they are frightened by you. On the battlefield, the Donghu warriors will never let the enemy see their backbone. Murong Dan said stiffly.
"Miss Murong Dan, although you are very ambitious. But you can't make up for the difference in strength, and your words can only make more Donghu people die. Think about it, when the young and strong people of Donghu died in Pingliang. Who benefits the most?
Don't think about it, I'll tell you. It's the Huns! The Huns marched south every year to plunder, and because you were on their flanks, they could even threaten their royal court. Only then did they dare to go south on a large scale to rob the Chinese people. Now you have died by yourselves, and have crossed the entire Xiongnu steppe to Pingliang. Even if you win, you think the Huns will watch you occupy the rich Pingliang.
I'm afraid Da Dan Yu is already sharpening his knives, if you have the slightest sign of failure. They're going to stab you in the back. At that time, your Donghu clan will be doomed, and the Xing'an Mountains of the Laoha River will become the home of the Huns from now on. Your men will be enslaved, and your women will be reduced to prostitution.
By the way, you will become a Xiongnu clan. Miss Murong Dan, I don't know if something like that really happened. How would you feel? When your people are wailing in pain, can you still face the Huns and laugh? Yun Yue looked at Murong Dan with a sinister smile.
Murong Dan was speechless again, she felt more and more that what Yun Yue said was likely to come true.
"Yunhou, I know that what you say may become a reality. But! No way. We're already here, and we can't go back. Heavy snow blocked the road and we couldn't turn back to Donghu. And we don't have that much to provide, let's go back to Donghu. At this point, even if Pingliang is dead, we have to break through. Murong Dan said firmly, because she knew that the Donghu people had no choice. Since leaving the Laoha River, they have embarked on a path of destruction.
At this time, the flames dimmed again, and Murong Dan hesitated. When he took off his mink and threw it into the fire, an unpleasant smell of burnt fire immediately rose to the top. The two stopped bickering and covered their mouths and noses. After all, no one wants to smell that nasty scorching smell.
"Actually, you still have a way to go!" The scorching smell dissipated, and Yun Yue said while waving her hand in front of her nose.
"Oh, please ask Yunhou for advice?" Murong Dan asked curiously.
"You can pass through the Yiqu Grassland and kill all the way back from Wei State, South Korea, Zhao State, and Yan State. It's just that this road is also a difficult road. Many of you will die on the road, though...... No one invited you to come. You are asking for it! Yun Yue raised her shoulders and shrugged.
"You're so confident, we have 300,000 people. How many people do you have in Pingliang, even if we use a lot of people, we can capture Pingliang City. Murong Dan said with his teeth and claws, but at a glance, he knew that he was very inward.
"Alright! I won't fight you about this, if we can get out alive today. See you on the battlefield! After Yun Yue finished speaking, she took off her shirt and threw it into the fire. The mink fur was very unburning. After a while, the light of the fire dimmed again.
"Hahaha! Get out, I'm afraid tonight. Here we are, either eaten by these rats or frozen to death because we stripped naked. Murong Dan saw that Yun Yue had already stripped naked, and said with a laugh.
"No, no, no, as long as there are fireworks here. My men will find us, and then we will all be saved. As for you, Miss Murong Dan. I will let you go, and I hope you will convey my kindness to your father on my behalf. If you can retire sooner, I promise not to hunt you down. How is it? (To be continued.) )
