My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 292 The art of immortality confuses people’s hearts

The Xirong Grassland stretches thousands of miles from east to west. The three tribes of Xieyu, Shizhu, and Luantang have been divided into three parts: east, west, and middle for hundreds of years.

They share the same ancestral tribe, but over the course of hundreds of years, their blood ties have become weak, and they occasionally intermarry to maintain the former relationship between the three royal tribes.

With the rise of the Yan State in Yantang Pass to the east and the destruction of the Xieyu tribe in the east, relations became tense.

Then there are the thoughts about the secret of immortality being held in the hands of King Xia of the Yan Kingdom. The old man, who holds countless lives and deaths in his hands, has the idea of ​​longevity in his heart.

However, to get to the Yan Kingdom from here, he must pass through the central and western grasslands. The eastern grasslands were destroyed, and the situation maintained by the three families began to tilt. He only needed to defeat the King of Corpses, and the entire grassland would be his. Then he could march eastward and enter the imperial palace of Yan State to ask the King of Xia of Yan State for the art of immortality.

What made him happy was that the Xia King of Yan Kingdom had already led his troops into the grassland without killing him. How could he miss such a thing.

Thinking that the opponent must have various expert guards around him, he summoned the best warrior of Xirong and led [-] light cavalry and [-] infantry from the Western Regions. He even assigned the opponent a force of [-] heavy cavalry. This was his most precious treasure. .

You shouldn't lose this way.

At this time, the flames were burning in the Royal Court of Luoting, driving away the chill of winter.The graceful shadows swayed on the cold ground, and the women with bare feet stepped on the ground around the fire, dancing a powerful and ferocious dance.

The excitement of shouting and yelling came from outside into the king's tent.

The seventy-year-old Luo Ting Ba Gui is letting his maid braid his hair. He doesn't have much snow-white hair anymore. It is rare in this world to live to this age.

Soon, he put on everything and wore a white fur foxtail hat. He was supported by a maid and walked into the king's tent. A group of generals around him stood up and watched Luoting Bagui staggering to the front seat and sitting down.

He was in a very bad mood today. He glanced at a big man who was kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Thirty thousand cavalry, divided into two teams. Tuoba Yuan is the number one warrior in Xirong. How can he actually do it?" Lose...tell me, how did they lose?"

"Back to Khan, the news is very accurate. The Xia King of Yan Kingdom is indeed in the convoy, with only more than 1000 soldiers guarding him. When I followed Tuoba Dadu to attack, although the opponent had taken precautions, they still broke through. Their array, but... But the other party returned reinforcements very quickly. There were many masters around King Xia of the Yan Kingdom, and Tuoba Dadutong couldn't kill them at all. Capture the opponent... Their reinforcements also came very quickly..."

Da Danghu, who was released by Su Chen, told the story in detail about the causes and consequences of the attack on King Yan's carriage that day.

The tribal generals on both sides listened quietly. Thirty thousand cavalry were divided into two teams, and heavy cavalry cleared the way. The leader was still a fierce general, thinking that winning the opponent was a sure thing.

Even Luoting Bugui believed this. As long as he captured the Xia King of Yan Kingdom, the battle would be a complete victory. He brought him back to the court of Luoting King and obtained the secret of immortality from the opponent. His old picture His body and appearance will return to the peak of his youth.

No matter how many people die, it is worth it.

But after hearing the words of the released Dadanghu, it was like a slap in the face that woke him up.

"They have traveled a long distance and experienced fighting. They are already exhausted, but you are still defeated..."

The people who could stand in the tent were all the trusted generals and nobles of the royal court, all of whom were his relatives. His words made many people feel ashamed.

However, the old Khan did not care about their faces.

"So, when he let you back, did he tell you something?"

The big man hesitated for a moment, and the way he hesitated to speak made Luotang Bagui feel a little itchy and unbearable, and he shouted quickly: "Speak quickly!"

"Khan, the other party said that he does have the secret of immortality, which can make old people look younger day by day and become youthful."

Hearing this, the brave tribal generals in the tent couldn't stand any longer, and stood up one after another, shouting for them to lead troops to avenge Tuoba Yuan!
Leaning in the arms of the maid, Luantang Bugui waited expressionlessly for him to finish, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. As for the generals who were shouting for revenge, how could he not tell that they were attracted by the secret of immortality.

However, his heart was actually more excited than others, so he continued to ask.

"That King of Xia, do you have anything else to say?" "Back to the Khan... Yes... He said that if he wants the secret of immortality to rejuvenate his youth, the Khan must recognize him as the Great Khan of the grassland and regard him as his master."

Ha ha……

Luoting laughed and struggled to get up from the maid's arms. He stared at the figure kneeling on the ground for a while, "If I can live forever...it doesn't matter if I admit that he is the Great Khan, I will also give him good horses every year." Okay...then, how do I get the secret of immortality? Are there any other conditions?!"

"He said that the Khan must go to see him in person before he can teach the Khan the secret of immortality!"

The buzzing noise around them suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Luantang Bagui. The latter raised his eyelids slightly, and the smile on his face froze, and he didn't speak in a hurry.

"Haha... He is so scheming. Knowing that I am eager to rejuvenate, he wants to lure me there!"

He originally thought that there would be other ways to get it, so he wouldn't have to prepare for a big fight, but when he heard the final conditions, he knew that it would not be that simple. Once he got there, he would be treated like a beast and slaughtered at will.

"Get ready for war. Since that King of Xia is not sincere, just take it from him openly."

"Khan, you are like the stars in the sky!" All the tribes in the tent congratulated the Khan who was in the first place.

"Hahaha."

Luotang Bugui looked at them with a smile: "You mobilize your troops and horses, and also inform the eight countries in the Western Regions that surrendered to me, so that they can send out brave soldiers again!"

As he said that, he held the maid's hand, stood up and took two shaky steps. He tried his best to raise his eyes and looked outside the tent where the soldiers and horses were coming and going.

"There are also other tribes in the west. Tell them that Luotang Bugui will gather their troops to go out to capture the invaders who invade the grassland and bring their king to my king's tent."

After he finished speaking, the tribal generals in the tent clenched their fists and pressed their shoulders, and strode out of the king's tent in twos and threes.

The old man looked at the skylight outside the tent and let out a sigh of relief.

"Since you are not sincere, then I have no choice but to come and rob him openly, King Xia of Yan Kingdom!"

……

Almost at the same time, on this day at the end of December, a convoy from south to north entered the Corpse Chaser Palace. Among the tents, the old man of Xirong hugged his knees and hid inside, carefully staring at the group of soldiers who came in, and A tall figure surrounded by soldiers.

Then, his sight was blocked by a Yan army general who looked like a mountain of meat.

Xu Chu was carrying a tiger-headed sword and Dian Wei, who was as tall as a giant, walked on both sides.

Su Chen, who was dressed in mountain armor and a big cloak, was walking in the middle. Outside the king's tent in front, Lu Bu, Li Jing, Huo Qubing and other generals gathered outside the tent. They looked at Su Chen who was striding towards him and bowed down one after another.

"Meet the king!"

"It's cold outside, generals, please go into your tent with me!"

Su Chen bowed his hands to them in return, then stretched out his hand to invite everyone to walk into the king's tent. He saw a person kneeling in the middle aisle. The moment he saw the figure coming in, Xi Zhuquan knelt down to greet him!

"I surrender my corpse to the spring to pay my respects to the king!"

　I feel a bit uncomfortable, and these chapters are a bit underwhelming.
