Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 31 The Anger of the Great Yuezhi

After more than ten days of travel, Maodun arrived at the Mountains of the Dead again.

At the entrance of the Mountains of the Dead, the Hun leader who was responsible for escorting Maodun looked at the thousands of skeleton soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the mountains and immediately ordered the team to stop.

Without permission, the undead will not care what their reasons are and will kill them all.

"Prince, we can only take you here. You must take good care of yourself! The safety of the Xiongnu depends on you!"

Mao Dun thanked him and said, "Uncle Jiushisabi, don't worry! If I have any suitable news, I will tell you quietly! I can't leave the Undead Mountains easily. It depends on you how long it will take for the news to reach my father Khan! Don't be too late!"

Hearing this, Jiushizabi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Maodun's words are full of hidden meanings! Now the Xiongnu can only obey the Lich King, and dare not resist the Lich King, otherwise they may be exterminated.

But if he could get some news in advance, or delay the delivery of the news to the tribes, it would be equivalent to seizing the initiative, which would not only strengthen his own tribe, but also avoid harm! Maodun was trying to win him over and pave the way for the future.

Jiushi Sabi, who had figured it out, smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Prince! You will definitely be an outstanding Hun king in the future!"

Jiushizabi's praise was tantamount to a promise.

"Thank you for your good words, uncle!" Maodun immediately shook Jiushisabi's hand and said gratefully.

The reason why Maodun dared to say this at this time was because he was a proton in the hands of the Lich King and the only person who could become a proton now. Unless the Great Khan was replaced, he would not be replaced.

The Huns could not afford to lose him as a hostage, and the Lich King even wanted to see Maodun become the new Great Khan in the future. This was his confidence.

At this time, a team of skeleton cavalry was already coming towards this side at the entrance of the Undead Mountains.

Looking at the Skeleton Cavalry coming over, Maodun quickly said: "Uncle Jiushi Sabi, it's time for me to go in too. Goodbye!"

"Please take care of yourself, Prince. There will be 'my people' stationed three miles away, waiting for good news from you!"

Jiushizabi said with a smile, and even emphasized the three words "my people".

Soon, the skeleton cavalry coming out of the Mountains of the Dead arrived in front of Maodun.

After communicating with the leading Death Knight, the undead brought Maodun and the Huns' gifts into the Mountains of the Undead.

~~~~~~~~~~~
The palace was frozen, and the first thing Maodun did when he returned was to pay a visit to Fusu.

"Mao Dun greets the king!"

Looking at Fusu sitting high on the frozen throne, Maodun knelt on the ground while shouting, his head hitting the hard icy ground heavily, and his butt raised high.

"Get up! Did you go home smoothly to visit your parents? Did anything interesting happen?"

Looking at Maodun who was kneeling in a funny way, Fusu asked with a smile.

Maodun immediately said, "My Lord, it went very smoothly. My father is grateful to you for letting me go home to visit my parents, and he specially prepared twenty carts of gifts for you. There is also an interesting thing. Now the Xiongnu are ready to go to war with the Great Yuezhi. The Great Chanyu Touman has assembled 50,000 troops and has set out on the day I returned. When we said goodbye, there was a touching and exciting atmosphere. Everyone was grateful to you and prayed for your protection."

"Oh! Are you grateful to me? Are you praying for my protection? Hahaha!" Fusu laughed when he heard that, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you are praying for my protection instead of scolding me?"

Maodun immediately knelt down and kowtowed again, trembling, and said, "Maodun dare not deceive the king. When I left, I did pray for the king's protection. Touman, the great Chanyu, also brought everyone to pray to the king. The king is the sky of my Xiongnu and the sun that guides my Xiongnu." "Hahaha!" Fusu laughed immediately after hearing this. "Maodun, you are really good at talking! You don't sound like a thirteen-year-old at all, and you don't sound like Touman!"

"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty!" Maodun immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude without any hesitation.

"Okay!" Fusu waved his hand. "I have horseshoes and saddles here, which can enhance the Xiongnu's horse fighting ability. I will give them to the Xiongnu! Go find Shao Bailing later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Maodun immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Dayuezhi, Dunhuang City.

In the evening, the Queen of Yuezhi summoned many palace ministers for an emergency meeting.

Before April, the Huns in the east sent a large number of merchants to exchange wool and exquisite artifacts looted from the Central Plains for a large number of bones.

At first, the people of Dayuezhi did not think much about it. They were very happy to exchange the bones, which were no longer useful, for a large amount of wool and exquisite utensils. They did not care what the bones were for. The Xiongnu people would not tell them even when they were asked.

As for those exquisite artifacts, the Huns had been plundering the Central Plains countries for years, and they had traded with them in the past, but this year they sent more merchants and brought more artifacts.

Although many of these artifacts were in the style of the Great Yuezhi, the Xiongnu also explained that they were exchanged in previous years, and now they needed bones more, so they took them back in exchange.

But before March, someone discovered something was wrong.

These Xiongnu people secretly did not do anything, but dug up graves and robbed tombs everywhere in his territory. Those exquisite objects used to exchange for bones were not from previous years' transactions. They were clearly the burial objects of his ancestors from the Great Yuezhi! And then they traded with his Great Yuezhi!

For a time, the people of Dayuezhi were extremely excited and many of them challenged each other to a fight.

However, the Xiongnu were powerful and their people were fierce. The Yuezhi army was only suitable for fighting in the Gobi Desert, and they were at a great disadvantage fighting the Xiongnu on the grassland. The Yuezhi could only suppress their anger and avoid disputes.

At the same time, he closely protected his ancestors, drove away Xiongnu merchants, stopped all transactions with the Xiongnu, strictly guarded against those Xiongnu who did not care about anything, and sent envoys to question them.

Two months ago, the envoy came back and said that the Xiongnu Khan Touman generously admitted his mistake, promised to severely reprimand his subordinates, forbid such incidents from happening again, return the bones of the ancestors of the Great Yuezhi, and promised to compensate with a large number of cattle and sheep, but it would take some time.

But when the envoy asked the Huns why they needed so many bones, the Huns' Great Khan remained silent.

After the envoys returned, they did not receive compensation from the Huns, but instead they became even more aggressive.

Since there were no merchants to buy the bones, the Huns simply sent a large number of small troops to infiltrate Dayuezhi, rob tombs crazily, and hunt the animals they kept in captivity. After being discovered, they even killed people and robbed tombs. When they sent troops over, the Huns retreated like the wind!

The Xiongnu were so bullying that the Dayuezhi became even more excited and more people came to challenge them.

The Yuezhi queen immediately assembled a large army to show the Xiongnu how angry she was. She also sent envoys to the Donghu, intending to join forces with the Donghu to teach the Xiongnu a profound lesson.

But a month ago, the envoys who went to Donghu brought back news that shocked everyone.

The Huns not only dug up the ancestors of his Dayuezhi, but also dug up many ancestors of the Donghu. They even did not spare their own ancestors.
