Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 258 Temporary Changes
"Has Chenyan been doing well these years?" General Jingwu leaned half against the cell wall, radiating on his shoulders, with a very sad expression on his face.

Although Xia Zijin couldn't see what General Jingwu looked like now, he could feel the compassion in his heart through his tone.He was trapped by the Huns alone for more than ten years, all his achievements were lost, his family was ruined, and his only beloved wife passed away, leaving only one daughter to grow up in the mansion of General Jingwu.In fact, it wasn't just Huang Chenyan who felt lonely during these years, General Jingwu was even better.

Xia Zijin pursed her lips, and said softly, "Chenyan is very good. Although she has lived alone these years, she has followed your instructions, Senior General, and has grown into a heroic woman who will never give up on others. She is very happy." Like you."

"Like me?" General Jingwu murmured to himself, and suddenly a vivid light flashed in his cloudy eyes. It was the inexplicable nature of father and daughter, and also the indelible and unforgettable deep-rooted family affection. .

The two talked for a long time in the dry dungeon, focusing on the yellow dust and smoke.From Huang Chenyan's preferences to her life experience in recent years.General Jingwu wished to know everything that Huang Chenyan had experienced, even if he could understand those years that he was vacant through other people's description, it would be a little comfort to his lonely heart.

Naturally, Xia Zijin knew everything and said everything. Although she knew that General Jingwu was still alive, even though she had lived through two lives, she couldn't understand the misery and pain of being locked up in a dark place for more than ten years. desolate.

Just when the two were talking very well, there was a sound of stepping footsteps from the corridor of the dungeon, mixed with the sound of armor wearing and tearing, getting closer to them.

"You, and you, go open the cell door, you guys will get the princess of Dalai Kingdom and General Jingwu out!"

With the gradual sound of footsteps, a group of Xiongnu elite soldiers approached the cell where Xia Zijin and General Jingwu were held.The one who took the lead was bearded and his voice was very rough. He commanded his subordinates with a serious face to push Xia Zijin and General Jingwu out of the cell.Every Hun soldier held a torch in his hand, shining in the depths of the dungeon, flicking the flames.And they seemed to be in a hurry, and before they could react for a moment, they half pushed and half shoved them out of the dry cell.

Suppressed from the ground to the ground, the sudden brightness of the moonlight made Xia Zijin, who had been imprisoned in the underground prison for several hours, feel nostalgic.She took a deep breath and exhaled all the suffocated air in her chest.

There were already people waiting for them on the ground. Xia Zijin looked at the tall and rough figure in front of him through the orange torches held by the soldiers of the Huns, and couldn't help but let out a sneer from his throat.

"General Hu is really in a good mood. It's not enough to take this princess captive to such a ghostly place, but you want this princess and General Jingwu to accompany you to watch the moon?"

Hu Erhe was not annoyed, and got off the horse with a stride, walked slowly in front of Xia Zijin, and smiled: "It's not a loss to let the princess of Dalai accompany the general to enjoy the moon all night, isn't it. But Well, Princess Mingzhu should cherish the opportunity of tonight, if you, Dalai, have not delivered the talismans of the seven cities to this general before dawn, then tonight is likely to be the last time that Princess Mingzhu and General Jingwu will see each other It’s such a beautiful moonlight.”

The night wind blew the Buddha's clothes. Xia Zijin looked towards the sky. Although it was still dark at the moment, the sky had already turned white. It was estimated that the sky would begin in less than half an hour. Brightened up.

She opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when suddenly the muffled voice from the front where the Huns were stationed gradually came from there, accompanied by the sound of thumping horseshoes.As the sound got closer, the originally peaceful land became a bit sensational, which showed that there were a lot of people coming.

"They're finally here...!" Huerhe suddenly said, clapping his knees and laughing loudly.

He just said that his bet was not wrong, and he held two hostages in his hands, so he was worried that the Dalai people would not obediently hand over the city talisman?

Following Huerhe's voice, Huang Chenyan looked forward, only to see that the leaders who came with the Dalai army were General Huai and Huang Chenyan.

Huang Chenyan was sitting on top of the horses in the first row of the team. She wore a scarf on her head and a silver armor, holding a polished red tasseled spear in her hand. She looked very heroic.

Huerhe looked at Huang Chenyan and the others with great interest, and ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on Xia Zijin and General Jingwu. He turned himself onto the horse's back, lifted the reins and rode forward with his legs between his legs and the horse's belly. step.

"How is it? Miss Huang has thought about it, is she here to exchange the two of them with a talisman?"

Huang Chen's smoky face did not change, still in a state of frost and snow, and his cold and thin lips spit out softly: "General Hu kidnapped the princess and my father by means of a villain, let us Dalai take some of your Xiongnu country!" There is no other way, but the two countries are adjacent, and there will inevitably be places where we can help each other in the future. Why do you invade and entrap us year after year? Threatening weak women and old people is really not a gentleman's move. If you get it cheap, everyone will berate you and scold you if your reputation spreads all over the world in the future."

Huerhe raised his hand to show off his scalp, curled his lips and said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, this general also learned from you Dalai people. As long as you get the talisman, it doesn't matter if you cheat occasionally, it's always you The Dalai people used tricks to deceive us Huns, and today it is your turn to suffer."

After that, Huerhe laughed loudly, his tiger body trembling with laughter on the horseback, and everyone in the Huns also laughed together with Huerhe's loud laughter, all mocking the Dalai people.

"Hmph, I'm so proud of you. We've already brought the talisman, when will it be returned to us?" Huang Chenyan said coldly, not at all interested in arguing with Huerhe.

Huerhe raised his eyebrows. Since the Dalai people had already opened their mouths and went straight to their destination, there was no need for him to go around in circles with them.

"You take the talisman here first, and then the general releases them." He looked down at Huang Chenyan and General Huai from his horseback, with a strong aura that could not be ignored.

"What? Don't you hand over people with one hand and things with the other?" General Huai slapped his knees, angry and eager, very dissatisfied with Huerhe's leisurely and leisurely attitude.

"Before this general agreed to hand over people and things, it was only because it was the first time to do such an equivalent transaction with you Dalai people, out of trust. But your behavior is too disappointing to this general. Now this place This general has the final say on all laws and regulations, so what can you do.”

"You..." General Huai was very dissatisfied with Huerhe's arrogant attitude, and was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to scold him.However, at this moment, Huang Chenyan raised his hand to stop General Huai's movements, and gave him a calm look.

"Okay, let's do it. It's just that since General Hu claims to be faithful and promises, I hope he won't lie to us this time." Huang Chenyan looked at Huerhe coldly, raised his legs and stepped off the horse, holding the cup alone Wearing a wooden box with seven talismans, he walked towards the Huns.

Hu Erhe stared at the wooden box in Huang Chenyan's arms the whole time, and the greedy light in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"It would be great if you cooperated like this earlier, and you don't need to take a Princess Pearl as a hostage, let alone pay for two more cities." He smiled and shook his head and sighed, but he was obviously more satisfied with the result.

Huang Chenyan walked up to Huerhe without saying a word, raised his hands above his head, and presented the wooden box to him.

Huerhe laughed and took it, and with a trace of suspicion, he carefully opened the buckle of the wooden box first, and saw that there were indeed seven talismans inside, and the uniform color was clear, so he burst into a hearty big laugh.

"Yes, yes, these talismans will belong to our Huns in the future, including the people and resources of the seven cities, and they will all belong to our Huns in the future!"

He led the Xiongnu army to capture the Dalai border for so many years, in order to be able to capture the city of Dalai border defense.For more than ten years, from the battle of General Jingwu to Huang Chenyan's reputation now, he led the Xiongnu army among them and suffered countless hardships from Dalai people.

But everything is over. From now on, the seven cities will be the territory of their Huns. Dalai lost the defensive city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It will be easier to attack in the future, as long as the Huns rest for five days In six years, they will soon be able to prepare enough troops and resources to march to the hinterland of Dalai.

In time, the rich and prosperous Dalai will be annexed by their Huns.On the four seas and continents, no one dares to underestimate the people of the Huns!

Huerhe was daydreaming in his heart, but he didn't notice the strange look in Huang Chenyan's eyes.Only Huang Chenyan uttered in front of the battle: "General Hu has obtained the talisman orders for seven cities now, can you let my father and Princess Mingzhu go?"

Hu Erhe stopped laughing, and a pair of deep eyes sized Huang Chenyan around, and suddenly smiled treacherously, "When did this general say that he would return them to Da Lai?"

"But, you clearly said"

"Yes, the general said that as long as the talisman is exchanged, the general will let Princess Mingzhu and General Jingwu be released, but the general did not say whether the person released will be dead or alive."

After finishing speaking, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Huerhe's lips, he hid the wooden box in his arms, raised his hand to give an order, and uttered the word "kill" mercilessly.

"Damn Ulkh..."

Huang Chenyan gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, holding the red-tasseled spear in her hand, and stabbed in front of Huerhe's horse. At the same time, she shouted behind her: "Action!"
