Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

On the Gobi Desert, in the desert, the wind and sand are the eternal tune.

In the distant Gobi Desert, a man and a woman rode a camel slowly and came to a town full of wind and sand. It was called a town, but in fact it had been deserted for a long time.

At the gate of the town, a young man was lying on two benches in the city gate, with a straw hat tied with ropes on his head to block the wind and sand and sunlight, and he was sleeping soundly.

"Boy."

The man who came to the city gate shouted.

The young man was startled and rolled off the seat.

He was about to get angry, but he saw a man and a woman looking down at him in front of him. After looking at the two of them for a few times, the young man's anger disappeared and he smiled flatteringly.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there would be people coming to this kind of ghost place at this time. Are you two here to escape?"

The man and woman looked at each other, and the man continued to speak.

"What are you doing here, standing guard?"

"No, I'm waiting for the guests here?"

"Guests?"

The man looked around and was a little amused.

Where did the guests come from in this ghost place?

"Is there an inn in this city?" he asked.

"Of course there is, but there is only one. I'll take you there."

"Okay."

After many twists and turns, the two came to the so-called inn.

The woman looked up and almost laughed out of anger. Wasn't this the residence of Meng Tian? It was turned into an inn, and even the signboard was not changed.

"Wait a moment, I'll go inform the host."

After the young man finished speaking, he slipped into the house and quickly led two people out.

One had a full beard and a sticky rag on his shoulder, like a butcher, while the other was a woman in bright clothes. In the city covered by wind and sand, her face was not dry, but her red lips looked a little tacky.

"Oh, what kind of wind is blowing here today? Two guests, what are your names?"

The woman smiled, but her eyes were fixed on the man opposite her.

"I am Zhang Liang." The man smiled.

"Bai Shu." The woman said indifferently.

These two people were Zhang Liang and Bai Shu who followed the Qin army's trajectory to this place.

The town they came to was the military camp where Meng Tian Mubei was located.

Because of the 300,000 Qin troops, this place was once prosperous, and there were probably 400,000 or 500,000 people. However, with the departure of the Qin troops, this place has also withered, and even the former general's mansion has been occupied and turned into an inn.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang."

The woman blinked at Zhang Liang, looking at him, not hiding her interest.

Zhang Liang didn't care, just smiled and asked.

"Boss lady, is there any vacant room here? Can you prepare some wine and food?"

"Of course there is, please come in."

The boss lady smiled like a flower, but because of the heavy makeup, it made people feel a little nauseous.

She waved to the back, and the young man who led Zhang Liang and Bai Shu came up immediately and took the reins of Zhang Liang and Bai Shu's camels.

Zhang Liang and Bai Shu stepped over the threshold and walked inside.

The boss lady asked the bearded boss to leave first, and led the two into the lobby of the inn, the former meeting place of the general's mansion.

"Please take a seat, gentlemen." She pointed at a few tables.

What surprised Zhang Liang was that there were two tables of guests in this ghost place besides them.

One table was occupied by a family of four from three generations. When the oldest man saw Zhang Liang and his companions come in, he looked up and smiled at him. The other table was occupied by two men with ferocious looks, wearing fur coats. They looked like they were not Han people, but Xiongnu.

Zhang Liang responded to the old man's smile, and then looked at the two Xiongnu without hesitation.

"It seems that the reputation left by Li Mu and Meng Tian has begun to fade." Zhang Liang thought to himself.

When the State of Zhao was destroyed, Li Mu did not die in Xianyang. He sent Li Mu to the north on the pretext of settling Zhao Wangqian, and asked him to lead the remaining Zhao soldiers to fight. He lived for another five or six years before he died of old age in office. When he knew about it, as Ying Zheng, he ordered people to bury Li Mu with honor, and then sent Meng Tian to lead the Qin army to guard the border.

Recalling in his heart, Zhang Liang thought that the Xiongnu seemed to have started to move south in the early days of the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

In history, the Xiongnu Chanyu almost captured Liu Bang alive. Even during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Xiongnu Chanyu shamelessly wrote blasphemous words to humiliate Liu Bang's wife, Lü Zhi, and then...

Then there was nothing else.

The Xiongnu Chanyu and his entire family of civil and military officials were killed by the fierce man.

"It seems that these two Xiongnu may be spies going south."

Zhang Liang's heart moved, and his eyes continued to stare at the two Xiongnu people.

The two Xiongnu had already noticed Zhang Liang's gaze, but they remembered the words of the Chanyu and did not dare to act presumptuously on the territory of the Qin Dynasty. However, as Zhang Liang continued to stare, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"What are you looking at? Go back to see your nanny!"

One of the Xiongnu slammed the table and stood up, scolding Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang didn't understand what they said, but the meaning was very clear. He stood up with a smile. The two Xiongnu were not to be outdone. They stood up together and put their palms on the knife handles at their waists.

The proprietress at the counter heard the noise and came out. She saw Zhang Liang, a weak scholar, confronting two Huns and her heart skipped a beat.

"Two guests, please be patient. This guy is from Guanzhong and doesn't know the rules here..."

The proprietress chattered at the two Huns.

After listening to them, the two men's anger subsided a lot. After glaring at Zhang Liang, they sat back down.

After persuading the two Huns, the proprietress looked at Zhang Liang again.

"This brother, be careful. These two are barbarians who kill without blinking an eye."

"Fanyi? Aren't they Huns?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.

In this era, Fanbang is a better term than Xiongnu. The latter can be linked to pigs, dogs and beasts, but the former can also be used to refer to the former Qiang people. There are also ambiguities, but they are not as aggressive as the Xiongnu.

The boss lady was exposed, her smile was a little unnatural.

"In short, for the sake of your life, guest officer, it's better not to provoke them."

Zhang Liang nodded, looking deeply convinced.

The landlady was relieved when she saw this.

But at this moment, Zhang Liang suddenly grabbed the bench next to him and threw it in the direction of the two Huns.

Snapped!

The two Huns moved out of the way, smashing the bench on the table and knocking all the food and wine to the ground.

"I provoked them, so what?"

Zhang Liang asked with a smile.

"you wanna die!"

The two Xiongnu could not bear this provocation, and drew their sabers to kill Zhang Liang.

Before Zhang Liang could take action, Bai Shu had already stood up.

She took half a step back and kicked the table. The thin wooden table weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms spun towards the two Huns.

The two Huns couldn't dodge, and they all slashed at the table with their swords.

The thin wooden table shattered into pieces, but a long sword also passed through the fragments and stabbed straight into the throat of a Huns.

Blood splattered, and when another Xiongnu saw his companion being killed, his eyes turned red with anger, and he raised his knife to slash at Bai Shu, but was kicked by the latter, sending him flying several meters away, knocking over another table. , screaming in pain and trying to get up.

Bai Shu followed up with two steps and pierced his thigh with a sword, pinning him to the ground.

This incident happened so quickly that everyone was shocked.

"Who dares to cause trouble!"

From the side door, the bearded boss rushed out with a kitchen knife.

The boss's wife was also frightened by Bai Shu's toughness and turned pale. She turned around and cursed.

"Get back!"

The arrogant boss glanced at the room and retreated silently.

"I provoked them, so what?"

Zhang Liang asked again with a smile.
