C310 (1/2)
Four mornings later, when the person he was looking for didn't come, an unexpected person came.
”Why are you here?” When she saw Yan Zhi standing at the entrance of the camp, Yan Rou couldn't help but be shocked. In all these years, the two brothers had never met in public, so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion. Although the Urushion knew that he was Chinese, letting them know that he was still connected to his family would definitely arouse their suspicions.
”Why can't I come?” Yan Zhi followed Yan Rou directly into Yan Rou's tent and casually sat down. The few Urushion s who were in Yan Rou's tent walked out tactfully, and only the two brothers were left in the tent. ”Whether it is the Urushion or the Chinese, who doesn't know that we are brothers? Is there something wrong with your brother coming to see you? ”
Yan Rou opened her mouth, but could not say anything. His current situation was indeed rather awkward. As a Chinese, yet representing the Urushion to negotiate with the Chinese army, in truth, it was just passing on a message, she did not have the authority to make the decision. In the eyes of the Chinese, this was treason, especially when he led the Urushion and fought against the Chinese army.
Ever since he was kidnapped by the Urushion, in order to survive, he had no choice but to be even more vicious and resentful than others. Whether it was the fights between the Urushion s, the wars with the fresh inferior s, or the battles with the Han Army, he was exceptionally fierce. Hence, the tribe leader of the Sable Hu Tribe admired her. Not only did she marry her daughter to him, she also allowed him to lead more than ten thousand of the tribe's cavalry to follow Qiu Liju in battle.
”Big Brother, are you prepared to work for the Urushion for your entire life like this?” Yan Zhi lightly glanced at Yan Rou and suddenly said without any warning.
Yan Rou was shocked and looked outside the door nervously. It was his cronies on guard at the door, and they didn't know Chinese. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief, and turned to glare at Yan Zhi fiercely, saying snappily: ”What nonsense are you spouting! If I don't work for the Urushion, where can I go? I want to come back, too, but will the Chinese let me go? ”
”Humph!” You want to come back? After so many years, you are no longer that slave who was kidnapped by the Urushion. There are many opportunities to return, why haven't you come back yet? I think you are unwilling to part with the position and wealth Urushion has given you! ” Yan Zhi glared at Yan Rou fiercely, and said without a trace of politeness.
In fact, Yan Rou had already led her troops to war for a few years. If he wanted to return, she could have left a long time ago. Even if he ran away, the Urushion wouldn't be able to do anything to his family. After all, his wife was the daughter of the tribe leader. He raised her head and looked at Yan Zhi, and said impatiently: ”Did you come to scold me? If there's nothing else, you should hurry up and go. ”
”I'm fine? Do you think I'm here to quarrel with you because I'm full? ” Yan Zhi stood up angrily, pointed at Yan Rou's nose and roared: ”Do you know that you're about to die? I'm here to save your life! ”You really don't know what's good for you!”
”You saved my life?” Yan Rou gasped, her voice immediately becoming softer. It was precisely because of his awkward position that underneath his crude appearance, there was also a cautious scheming. He looked at Yan Zhi and asked indifferently: ”Who wants to kill me?”
”Do you know why that Military Advisor, Zhang Ling, hasn't come to see you these past few days?” Seeing that Yan Rou was confused, Yan Zhi said coldly: ”Then Zhang Ling found me. Let me tell you this, if you submit to the Han army and return to Youzhou, I can bestow you the title of Marquis. Otherwise, he would give Urushion another million stones to buy your head! ”
”Ah …” Yan Rou was shocked, and immediately jumped out of her seat. He paced back and forth in the tent, her eyes filled with infinite despair. ”Why is he like this? I did not provoke him, so why is he so vicious? ”
”You did not provoke him, but you provoked the Chinese. In his words, you are a traitor! And we have become the families of traitors! They will not let a traitor go! He wants to kill you and also wants the Urushion to kill you in order to warn all the Han Chinese who have pledged their allegiance to the Urushion! ”
”Am I a part of the Urushion? It was because they were captured by the Urushion without the protection of the Han army! What right do you have to call me a traitor?! Ever since Yang Lin came to the Youzhou, I have never fought against them. Why do they hate me so much? ”
”It's precisely because you were captured by the Urushion that they gave you a chance to put on your crimes and gain merits. Otherwise, once you came to Guangyang, they would arrest you as a traitor and kill you. Looking at the Wuhuan cavalry, there are about 10% of the Han people, they also followed the Urushion to kill the Han people, shouldn't they kill them? ”
Of course, Yan Rou knew that there were a lot of Han Chinese in the Urushion, all of them were slaves caught by the Urushion. The people of Youzhou not only hated the Urushion, they also hated those traitors who helped the Urushion kill Han.
”Humph!” Even if they had more than 100 stones of food, Qiu Liju would not necessarily kill me. ” Yan Rou sat down and snorted coldly. No matter what, he was a general leading more than ten thousand cavalrymen, she did not betray the Urushion, why would Qiu Liju want to kill him?
