Great Han Empire

Chapter 2 Rising Sun
A month ago, this dull day suddenly disappeared.

Iron Wolf found Li Hong in the barn, his expression filled with grief and indignation, "The commander was caught by Ke Zui, a traitor."

"How did you know?"

"I heard what Ke Ye's subordinates told me. Ke spent money to bribe a friend of the commander-in-chief, and designed to capture the commander-in-chief. Now the commander-in-chief is locked in the tiger cave."

Li Hong didn't speak, he looked at Iron Wolf's almost desperate face sympathetically, not knowing how to comfort him.

After more than half a year of self-cultivation and practice, Li Hong's sanity has recovered a lot. Although he doesn't know what he was like in the past, he thinks that he should have almost recovered.I am a normal person now, except that I don't remember the past, I am no different from ordinary people.Li Hong thought that a normal person should comfort him, so Li Hong finally came up with a word of comfort, "If you have a way to save him, I will definitely help you."
"Really?" Iron Wolf's desperate face immediately regained energy.

"Really, you can take my life." Seeing the iron wolf fighting in surprise, Li Hong couldn't help thinking of giving his life for the person in front of him.Iron Wolf looked at him gratefully, tears welled up in his eyes.

Since I can remember, I have been suffering from all kinds of torture and endless pain. Later, I was tortured by the Xianbei people like a dog, until I met in the stable. Iron Wolf, only then did he feel what it means to be rewarded after all hardships.Although Iron Wolf was a defeated captive and a slave of the Tiger Tribe, his prestige on the grassland made him the most glorious and prestigious slave even if he became a slave.Here, Xianbei people respect him and treat him as a warrior.The iron wolf likes himself, in fact, he protects himself, and the Xianbei people around him are much kinder to him because of the iron wolf.Iron Wolf not only regards himself as an object to confide in, but also regards himself as his child.Iron Wolf loves and cares about himself, and has taught him a lot of skills.It was thanks to the iron wolf's meticulous care that he recovered so quickly.Iron Wolf can never repay him for his kindness in his whole life. Although he has never called him master, in his heart, Iron Wolf is his master, and he can do everything for him, even sacrifice his life.

Iron Wolf seemed to have planned it long ago, and immediately took him to the hut where the two lived.Iron Wolf drew a very detailed map of the ground with twigs.

"Where is this?" Li Hong asked softly.

"Tiger Cave is the death cell of Hudu." Iron Wolf pointed to the crooked map on the ground and said, "This is the innermost cave, where the commander is imprisoned, and there are twenty guards outside. The door can only be opened from the inside, so what you have to do is to kill all the twenty soldiers, and then open the cave door. I will take care of the rest, and you don’t have to worry about it.”

Li Hong didn't seem to know the danger. He looked at the map very calmly, then looked up at Iron Wolf, waiting for him to continue talking.

Iron Wolf looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Li Hong shook his head.

Iron Wolf secretly let out a cry of luck.Fortunately, this kid is insane and doesn't know the danger of the tiger's cave, otherwise he would have scared the shit out of him long ago, he'd better be an idiot.

"How can I enter the tiger's den?" Li Hong asked.

Iron Wolf laughed and said, "Run away!"

Li Hong stole Keye's BMW Panther early in the morning.

Li Hong is Keye's slave, responsible for raising black panthers, and is very familiar with them.Li Hong likes this strong and tall black horse, its hair is as shiny as black satin, and it runs as fast as an arrow.Li Hong rode on it and rushed out of Hudu recklessly.The Hu tribe soldiers in charge of security all knew Li Hong. They first warned, but later found that something was wrong. The boy seemed to be stealing a horse and fleeing.

Li Hong ran for more than ten miles in one breath, wounding more than a dozen soldiers along the way, but finally couldn't stop the crowd, and was thrown off his horse and caught.Ke Ye tortured him, but Li Hong didn't say a word, but this time he readily admitted that he was a spy sent by the Han Dynasty, "I came to kill Ke Zui."

Ke Ye didn't dare to kill him on his own, and hastily reported to Ke Zui, the master of Xianbei in the middle.Ke didn't pay much attention to this trivial matter, so he casually handed it over to his subordinates and handled it as usual.According to the routine, don't kill them first, put them in death row and then try them again, and then kill them if they are worthless.

(In the Xianbei Kingdom, the leader of the tribal alliance is called an adult, the leader of a large tribe in the tribal alliance is called Dashuai or Haoshuai, and the general tribal leader is called Xiaoshuai. After Xianbei King Tan Shihuai unified the tribes in the desert, he will The territory of Wanli is divided into three parts, east, west and middle, which are under the jurisdiction of three masters. Ke Zui is the master Xianbei of the central part, the leader of the Xianbei tribal alliance in the central part.)
Li Hong was beaten and bruised all over his body, and he returned to normal after being raised in the tiger cave for more than ten days. The hatred for the Xianbei people in his heart reached the extreme.After Li Hong arrived in Hudong, the Xianbei people seemed to have forgotten him, and they never interrogated him. Except for giving him two meals a day, no one cared about him.

On this day, he ate a stone the size of a pigeon egg in his food.This was the signal he had agreed with the iron wolf, to act when he saw a stone, so he immediately yelled in the cave.

A guard opened the door, rushed in cursing, and swung the cowhide whip in Li Hong's hand.The man was kicked in the crotch by Li Hong and died before the whip was finished.Li Hong is very strange, why is he so familiar with killing?Could it be that he is really a spy sent by the Han Dynasty?What's even more strange is that after killing someone, he didn't feel anything at all, such as fear, horror, and nausea. He found himself very calm, as if he had trampled an ant to death.

Li Hong didn't think much, and then rushed out of the cave where he was held.Outside is a huge cave, with many torches hanging around the cave walls, and a group of guards around the ground looking up at him in amazement.Li Hong suddenly saw so many people outside, his heart tightened, and his rushing steps stopped immediately.

What happened next left Li Hong dumbfounded, he saw the most unbelievable scene.

The guards suddenly drew out their sabers and started killing each other as if they were going crazy. For a while, flesh and blood flew everywhere in the cave, and there were roars everywhere. In a blink of an eye, none of the guards stood still.

Li Hong was stunned.His first reaction was that there was a conspiracy here.He ran to the group of guards to check if there were any survivors, only to find that only one was still humming.Li Hong dragged him out of the pile of dead bodies, bent over to ask.Blood came out of the man's mouth, and he said a word with difficulty: "Pig." Then he died.

Li Hong hurriedly found the cave where Murong Feng was imprisoned.He finally saw Murong Feng.Li Hong was very impressed, a hero is a hero, even if he is a prisoner, his aura is different.

Li Hong found a knife and helped Murong Feng take off the shackles and shackles, then sat on the ground and devoted himself to removing the shackles and shackles for himself.

Murong Feng looked at him in the light of the fire.The young man in front of him would not be more than 20 years old at best, and there was a hint of immaturity on his sharp-edged face, and his demeanor looked naive.The body is tall and strong, and the muscles seem to pop out of the clothes.The two chatted and became acquainted soon.Li Hong was very surprised by Murong Feng's calmness, he turned a blind eye to everything in front of him, he didn't care how Li Hong got in, nor how they got out, he just chatted with Li Hong without saying a word.

After a long time, someone called the door according to the signal that Li Hong knew.What happened later was even more difficult for Li Hong to understand.Li Hong wrapped Murong Feng with a piece of raw cowhide, carried him on his back, and was escorted by two guards all the way. After several checks, he swaggered out of the tiger cave without any danger.Then Li Hong drove an ox cart parked outside the Tiger Cave, took advantage of the dark night, and walked out of Hudu without haste for seven or eight miles. Only then did Murong Feng tell Li Hong to stop.The two started fleeing on foot.

The matter seemed complicated and confusing, and Ren Lihong thought about it, but he couldn't figure out why.Li Hong was also open-minded, he didn't want to, and fell asleep in a daze.

Soon, he was awakened by the sound of galloping horseshoes approaching from a distance.

Li Hong sat up and looked around nervously.Murong Feng next to him seemed to be asleep and didn't respond.Li Hong saw a group of Xianbei cavalry consisting of dozens of people galloping towards them.

"Marshal, Marshal, there are pursuers coming, shall we hide?"

Murong Feng opened his eyes and said with a slight smile, "Don't be nervous, it's mine."

Li Hong saw Iron Wolf from a distance.There are more than 30 cavalry in this cavalry, all of them are very powerful and well-equipped. Everyone has a strong bow and long knife, and a three-foot long spear. (In Han Dynasty, one chi was equivalent to 23 centimeters today, and one zhang was equivalent to two meters and three inches today.)
When the cavalry arrived in front of Murong Feng, they all dismounted and saluted.Tie Lang stepped forward and pulled Li Hong into his arms, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What a boy! You did a good job."

Murong Feng pointed to a big man with a beard and said, "Duan Zhen, give this kid a weapon. This kid is not bad, he is a good material."

A group of people hurried towards the direction of Rushui.

Li Hong rode a brown war horse and followed closely behind Iron Wolf.Iron Wolf was uncharacteristically reticent, with a serious expression.Li Hong wanted to talk to him several times, but seeing his murderous look, he swallowed the words back.Tie Lang seemed to know that he had something to say, so he deliberately slowed down his horse, and kept pace with Li Hong.

"I killed a person." Li Hong said to Iron Wolf.

Iron Wolf looked at him seriously and nodded.

"I killed someone." Li Hong shouted to Iron Wolf.

Iron Wolf ignored him and still nodded.

"I really killed someone." Li Hong cried out immediately.

"Are you afraid?" Iron Wolf finally asked.

Li Hong shook his head, "I seemed to have killed someone in the past. I didn't feel anything, and I think killing people is a very common thing. Before killing someone, I knew how to kill someone. Who do you think I was in the past? "

Iron Wolf looked at him and said loudly, "Assassin, the commander said you are an assassin."

For a moment, Li Hong felt as if he had grasped something, and a very familiar thing came to his mind.assassin.He seems to be very familiar with these two words, as familiar as knowing how many fingers he has.
