Chapter 40: Golden Man
When Riti saw this scene, he was filled with hatred and even more anger!

But he glanced at the fire in the city, and no matter how much he hated and was angry, he just shouted: "Chase him and kill him!"

Done.

He suddenly reined in his horse, and the warhorse turned around on the spot and galloped back towards the king's tent at high speed.

Riti no longer cared whether the pursuit would succeed or not.

The higher they went into the city, the bigger the fire became, and the hot smoke made the young man cough.

Finally, following his memory, Riti saw a familiar figure not far outside the royal tent.

To be precise, it was a group of bewildered men and a crying child holding a headless corpse.

"Woooooo~"

"Ada, I will definitely kill King Hunxie to avenge you!"

When Riti jumped off his horse, the tribesmen around him seemed to have found their backbone and called out, "Grand Prince!"

"Prince, what do we do now?"

"Gather the troops, stop putting out the fire!" Riti thought of a plan while running back, and said quickly: "Save the horses, take all the dry food and water you can, and leave the city immediately. The Han army will soon..."

He wanted to say that the Han army would arrive soon.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Riti suddenly turned his head and looked towards the south. From that direction, he heard shouts and screams!
“Han people!?”

"The Han army is charging in! Damn King Hunxie!"

At the same time, a scout's cry came from the left side of the camp, "Prince, the Han people are coming from the north of the city! Someone has opened the city gate!"

It’s over.

The tide is over...

This is the consensus of everyone at the moment.

For a moment, the moods of the leaders of the Xiutu tribe were as chaotic as this smoky and burning place.

"I went to the east of the city and slaughtered the Hunxie tribe! It must be these bastards who opened the city gate!"

"Run away, great prince, I will cover you!"

"Kill! Fight the Han people!"

"Shut up!" At the moment when the panic began, Riti's expression changed several times, and finally fixed on a fierce look, "Go! Run for your lives! As many as you can escape!"

"My Lord, what about you?"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

It didn't matter anymore that Riti drove away these leaders, some loyal and some hypocritical, like a madman.

He plunged into the burning royal tent and when he came out, he was holding a statue in his hands, while the leaders outside the tent had disappeared.

The only one left was a young child, holding the headless corpse in panic and helplessness.

"Woo~"

"Revenge! I want to avenge Ada!"

The fire was raging all around, and the shouting and screaming in the distance was getting closer and closer.

Riti threw away the statue, pulled open the corpse, picked up his brother, and saw that he was still sobbing.

"Snapped!"

Riti slapped his brother in the face and stared at him fiercely, "The Han people are coming, you can't run away, listen to me, I want you to..."

"Woo~"

"Pah! Listen to me!!"

After another slap, the child's eyes finally came into focus. Riti held his face and said anxiously, "You are younger than me, the Han people may not kill you. I want you to surrender. Do you hear me? Go to the Han court, find King Hunxie, and kill him!"

"kill him!"

"Revenge for Ada and the Xiutu tribe!!"

Amid the crackling of the fire and the shouts of killing, the boy grabbed his brother's head, his eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred, "Did you hear that?!"

"Woooooo~"

"Surrender, woo~, go... go to Hanting and kill King Hunxie! Revenge!"

That night.

The Hunxie tribe started a fire using some unknown fuel. The fire grew bigger and bigger. The Han army only rushed into the city for less than a quarter of an hour before hastily withdrawing.

In this environment, there is no need to enter the city. The city is a sea of ​​fire and no human can survive.

The Han army only needed to open a pocket outside the city and wait for the opportunity.

The fire burned all night.

The city was burned to a crisp, and tens of thousands of Huns were turned into prisoners of the Han army.

When the sky just began to turn pale, a red flag with a black dragon arrived at the settled city.

"The little king of the Hunxie tribe pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Han!"

Outside the city, beside the same valley water, with the same few people.

The only difference is that compared with the negotiations in the previous few days, the location here is no longer a tributary of the valley water, and the people sitting opposite each other are no longer equal.

nowadays.

Liu Ju was sitting, King Hunxie was kneeling prostrate, and the most miserable King Xiutu could only stand there...

"I, your humble servant, have brought eight thousand of my people and the head of King Xiu Tu to surrender to the Han!"

ho.

Hearing that proper noun, Liu Ju tilted his head to look at Tang Yifu for confirmation: "He calls himself a 'minister'?"

Tang Yifu, who was in charge of the translation, said seriously, "Your Highness, he can also be heard calling himself subordinate, junior general, or humble official."

Liu Ju nodded slightly.

The meaning is the same, both are about correcting your posture.

At this moment, he looked at King Hunxie who was kneeling on the ground and the head placed beside him, and his eyes inevitably became more subtle.

Huo Qubing, Li Guang and others who were watching nearby showed their contempt without any concealment!
In their view.

King Xiutu, who put up a tenacious resistance, is much more pleasing to the eye than King Hunxie, who is despicable and shameless. Their camps are hostile, and when they meet on the battlefield, it all depends on their own abilities.

This kind of villain stabs his own people in the back.

You won't be welcomed anywhere!

Military generals are straightforward, but Liu Ju, as the person in charge here, cannot act so impulsively.

"hehe."

The Prince of Han changed his harsh tone when they first met, got off his horse, and personally helped King Hunxie up.

"You have made great contributions in this battle. There is no need to kneel down. Please stand up quickly!"

"Come!"

When he stood up, Liu Ju glanced at the head at his feet and said with a gentle smile: "You have killed King Xiu Tu, which is a great achievement. The court will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"We, the Han Dynasty, will keep our word. You can leave for Chang'an immediately. The emperor will grant you a title of nobility, and you will have fertile land, a house, and everything else you want."

When Liu Ju was speaking.

King Hunxie was not as arrogant as usual. He bent his body and listened silently. Only when he heard that he was asked to go to Chang'an immediately did his expression change.

"May I ask, Your Highness, my people..."

"Eh!"

Liu Ju frowned slightly, "How can your people go with you to Chang'an to receive the title? Don't worry, they can't be lost, you can go."

talking.

The prince glanced back, and the general immediately understood, drove his horse closer, and said in a cold voice: "Let's go, I will arrange someone to escort you."

King Hunxie looked up and saw that it was the evil spirit that had been chasing him all the way. His calves suddenly trembled.

When turning around.

He held on to a trace of courage and expressed his last concerns to Liu Ju, "Your Highness, I heard that you have captured King Xiu Tu's son. This child must not be allowed to live!"

Soon.

Where King Hunxie had originally knelt, a new group of people began to kneel.

Since this group of people had no leader, they could only bring along all the people of high status, including the Xiutu tribe's Yanshi and princes.

At the front of the crowd, a young man with his forehead on the ground and a golden portrait in his hand stood out.

"I, the sinner Ritu, am willing to sacrifice the golden man to heaven and surrender with my Xiu Tu tribe!" While shouting loudly, the young man was still deeply buried in the mud.

There was silence for a while.

I heard a clear voice coming from the front, "Xiu Tu tribe? Aren't you unwilling to surrender?"

"I wish to surrender!"

Riti did not even raise his head and shouted back: "The might of the Han Dynasty and the unstoppable force of its cavalry, the Xiutu tribe is willing to surrender!"

"Are you the son of King Xiutu?"

"Back to Your Highness, yes!"

"...Well, just now there was a Hunxie King who suggested to me to kill you."

"I am willing to die!" Riti lifted up the golden man and shouted, "I am willing to die! I only ask Your Highness to spare the women and children of the Xiutu tribe!"

With thousands of Han soldiers standing by, in full view of everyone, the young man just lay on the ground, seemingly talking about something trivial that had nothing to do with his life.

“Hahahahahaha!” The nobleman in front laughed for a while and then asked, “What’s your last name?”

"Your Highness, I have no surname!"

"Okay, then I will give you a surname, Jin! How do you think?"

As soon as the voice fell, the young man knew that his life was safe, and he shouted: "Your Highness, I am Jin Midi! I am here to see His Highness!"
