Chapter 364 Prince
"General Long, I have something...I want to tell you."
The little barbarian caught up and looked like he was eager to speak but stopped.
"Tell me, these are all your own people, it doesn't matter."
Long Chen smiled.
The little manzi said: "In fact, there is another person in our place who is about the same age as me, who also escaped from the grassland to the mountains. He is... a prince."
Long Chen was shocked and asked, "How do you know?"
The little man said, "I have seen the wolf pattern on his chest. He is the son of the wolf."
Long Chen was happy, but felt something was wrong, and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"
How did the little man know that he was looking for the wolf son Tuzhi? Could it be a trap?
The little man said, "The general is going to Yanmen Pass to fight with the Dan tribe. We actually have a grudge against the Dan tribe. That prince also hates the Dan tribe. I think maybe it can help the general."
"The general has helped us so much, and I want to repay something."
The little man actually didn’t have many complicated ideas, because Long Chen was too worried.
"Is he still in the mountains?"
"It should be still here. When we left, his wife was about to have a baby."
"Take me to see."
"good."
Long Chen asked Zhang Qian to continue leading the troops forward, and Bai Tingting and Long Chen went together.
Zhang Qian objected: "As the commander-in-chief, you leave the army for a word that doesn't know the truth or falsehood. What if you encounter danger?"
"It's better to do this. You can continue to rush the road. Tingting and I will go and find out."
Long Chen shook his head and said, "If that person is really Tuzhi, the Hunter prince, I can completely resolve the threat from the northern border, and I must go there."
"You lead the troops and continue moving forward, Tingting and I will go, this is a military order."
Long Chen brought out the military order, but Zhang Qian had no choice but to agree.
Gongsun Linglong said, "I'll go too! Take me with me!"
Dugu Jiali complained: "What are you going to do? Sleep with adults?"
Gongsun Linglong said contemptuously: "I am not you, I have a strange fragrance to warm the quilt..."
Long Chen was afraid that they would quarrel, so he said, "You go with me."
The army continued to advance, Long Chen, Bai Tingting, Gongsun Linglong and the other two rode horses to the Ningyuan Mountains east, and the little man led the way in front.
"Are you a Hun?"
Long Chen and the little barbarian walked hand in hand.
"Yes, thirteen years ago, the Dan tribe rebelled, and many of our Huns were killed. My Ye-mother was a nobleman and was also killed. I wandered here, and my grandfather took me in."
Speaking of the past, the little man was a little sad.
No wonder I saw the noble temperament in the little barbarian, it turned out to be the descendant of the noble.
"Prince Tuzhi went to the mountains with you?"
"No, I arrived first, he arrived later."
"Have you spoken?"
"I said that we often hunt together, but I am different from him. I think it's good to be in the mountains, with my grandfather and Sister Qingqing accompanying me. He is different. He always wants to take revenge."
Speaking of this, the little man was sad again. Old Liu was dead, leaving only Liu Qingqing.
In front, Liu Qingqing was waiting on the road.
"General, we suddenly remembered that there was another person in the mountains. The little man said that he was a prince, and it might be useful to you."
Long Chen helped them too much, and Liu Qingqing also wanted to find a way to repay them.
"If it's really a prince, you'll help me."
Liu Qingqing said happily: "Really? That's great, let's go."
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the snow melts in early spring, making it even more difficult to walk. It took several hours to walk the mountain road for more than ten miles.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a wooden house made of pine wood. In front is a yard with various animal skins and bacon hanging under the eaves.
"General, this is our home."
When they returned here, Liu Qingqing and Xiaomanzi were both a little happy.
"Where is the prince?"
Bai Tingting asked.
Long Chen said, "No hurry, let the old man be buried in peace first."
The dead are the most important, so there is no rush at this moment.
Long Chen helped dig a big hole, put the coffin into the hole, filled the soil, and erected a monument for Liu Laohei.
Liu Qingqing and the little man kowtowed to worship at the tombstone.
At this time, the sun had already set in the west and it was dark and early in the mountains.
"Is Tuzhi's home far away from here?"
Long Chen asked.
The little man said, "I will take you there not far, but the road is difficult to walk, so I can only walk, not ride a horse."
Long Chen said, "That's fine, let's walk over."
Liu Qingqing stayed at home, Xiaomanzi led the way, and Long Chen and the other two followed him to Tuzhi's house.
At night, the howling of wolves can be heard in the mountains, and the sounds of pheasants and beasts are heard one after another.
After passing a mountain, I saw a small wooden house, and smoke from the chimney rose.
"That's Tuzhi's home."
Standing halfway up the mountain, you can clearly see it.
When the four people walked to the door of the wooden house, two big black dogs suddenly rushed out from both sides and barked at Long Chen.
The little man comforted and scolded: "What's the name? Shut up!"
In the room, a tall man with a low nose bridge and thick eyes walked out, wearing animal skin.
"Who are you?"
The man looked at Long Chen alertly.
If it weren't for the little barbarians, the man would have to fight against each other.
"Wolf, this is General Long from the capital. He is not a bad person."
Wolf is the nickname of a man.
The man shouted, "Barzi, what does it mean to bring them here?"
The man blocked the door with murderous intent in his eyes.
Long Chen slowly walked forward and said, "I am the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Long Chengen, I am leading troops to Yanmen Pass. I heard that you are Tuzhi, the prince of the Huns. If you are, I can help you revenge and regain your country!
”
The man was stunned, his face full of distrust, and the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Are you spies from the Dan tribe? Barbarian, betray me!"
The man scolded, and the big black dog barked at Long Chen continuously.
Gongsun Linglong was annoyed and cursed: "If we were spies, we would have killed you long ago. What would we say to you?"
The little barbarian explained vigorously: "Wolf, they are generals from the capital. They brought tens of thousands of people to the north to fight wars. I will not lie to you. We all have a grudge against the Dan tribe."
Long Chen took out a token and threw it to the man, saying, "Look at it, come if you are willing to cooperate, forget it if you are not willing."
Bai Tingting said coldly: "We are your only chance to revenge."
The man slowly squatted down, picked up the token, looked carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to help me?"
Long Chen said straight: "I am helping myself. Dan tribe Yelu Hong has repeatedly harassed him, so I must deal with him."
"When the Huns were there, your father Hu Xie Shanyu had a good relationship with our Great Zhou."
"So, I want you to restore your country and rebuild the two countries' alliance."
The little man advised: "Wolf, they are not bad people."
The man slowly let go of his guard and threw the token back to Long Chen.
“We can talk.”
The man sat under the eaves and had no intention of letting Long Chen and others enter the house.
Gongsun Linglong was very annoyed and said, "Now you have something to ask for us. You don't even let the house in. What a nonsense!"
Bai Tingting was also unhappy and didn't want to pay attention to the man.
Long Chen didn't care. He was here to discuss cooperation, not to visit him.
"Okay, let's talk!"
Long Chen sat opposite the man.
Chapter completed!
