Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 213 High rank

Thirty cavalrymen tightly surrounded a carriage. Inside the carriage, a young man in black popped his face and said slowly, "General, don't shoot arrows, we are the envoys of Great Qin!"

Qin Zu, who was displayed on the beacon tower, frowned and looked at each other with doubts in his eyes, and he still did not put down the crossbow in his hand.

The black-faced young man couldn't prove his identity. Although he spoke a messy Sanjin dialect, the Xiongnu also knew a little bit of Central Plains dialect. How could the Qin soldiers relax their vigilance.

Seeing that the bow and crossbow in Qin Zu's hands had been pulled on the trigger, the arrow feathers were soft and silky, and the arrow tufts were shiny and smooth with tung oil, which made the thirty cavalry terrified and afraid to step forward.

But one of the thirty cavalrymen pulled the reins in time, and the neighing sound of the horse came from outside the Great Wall Pass. The young man dismounted slowly, and drew a dividing line with his right foot three hundred steps away from the beacon tower.

When Qin Zu pulled the trigger, the arrow cluster was right in the middle of the dividing line. Qin Zu was stunned. Unexpectedly, the young man stood accurately outside the range of the bow and arrow.

Seeing the bows and arrows fall outside the dividing line one after another, the black-faced youth felt respect for the boy in his heart.

Immediately, the black-faced boy went to the beacon tower as a scout and said slowly: "I am Chen Yu, who comes from Chendi. Three years ago, he followed Zhang Er to the Yuezhi Kingdom by the emperor's order."

Someone in Qin Zhongzhong heard about it, but he still didn't relax his vigilance. He picked up a longbow and a short crossbow and pointed it at the black-faced boy, and ordered people to send no kills to report to the short soldiers and further inform Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was still looking at the map of Mobei described by Chen Ping in the barracks. Although the Mobei area is vast, it is inaccessible, so the cavalry entered Mobei, and almost no enemy troops could be found. The strategic significance is not great.

However, the old Yueshi land under the jurisdiction of King Youxian was fertile and suitable for horse herding, so the army's attack route was naturally this grassland. When the generals were having a meeting, a scout suddenly stepped into the camp and reported: "General, No. [-] A group of cavalry appeared outside the beacon tower, claiming to be Chen Yu, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty!"

Meng Tian's complexion was startled, and he took a deep breath.

Didn't Chen Yu die three years ago, could he be resurrected?

Meng Tian didn't know that Chen Yu was intercepted by King Youxian of the Xiongnu, and thought that something unexpected happened to Chen Yu when he went to Yuezhi to lobby. Could it be that Chen Yu had been trapped in the Xiongnu?
Immediately, Meng Tian's face darkened, his eyes were as cold as ice.

Or does it mean that Chen Yu has been instigated by the Xiongnu and came here to spy on Daqin's intelligence?

The soldiers threatened to kill Chen Yu, but Meng Tian refused.

As long as Chen Yu enters the territory of Daqin, life and death will be up to him. Since he is a spy, he might as well follow his plan. If he is not a spy, Chen Yu will come prepared if he dares to come.

Meng Tian's complexion was serious, bloodshot from his face, he said coldly: "Since that's the case, it's better to follow the plan and try it out first."

The scout general's order was sent to the Beacon Tower, and Chen Yu and many guards escorted them into the territory of Daqin along the pipeline.

Chen Yu was summoned to Xingyuan alone, but it was not Meng Tian who met him, but a military judge.

The military judge stared fiercely at Chen Yu, his eyes locked him firmly, even the guards on the left and right felt a chill, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

But Chen Yu looked calm, not doing anything bad and not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Although I am an outlaw of the Xiongnu, Hei Daqin has brought important information. This information is the real secret, and the only way to do this is to meet Meng Tian.

Immediately, the military judge raised his voice and asked Chen Yu for details such as his age, parents, wife and children, and official position, to make sure everything was safe.

Chen Yu's answers were fluent, and the military judge couldn't find any flaws. Not only that, Chen Yu also talked about his experience as a county official, and he started to mock the military judge. When I was a ranger in Sanjin, you were still breastfeeding in your mother's womb .

You can't fake experiencing this kind of thing, as long as what you say is wrong, as long as you have experienced it.You can hear the flaws as soon as you hear them, but you just don't dare to point them out for fear of losing face.
Chen Yu spoke so well that the military officials thought they were enjoying the story, but when they heard Chen Yu's ridicule, the military officials were speechless. Chen Yu was appointed as an envoy to lobby King Yuezhi, at least as a guest in the court.

After completing the task this time, Chen Yu may still be rewarded when he enters the capital, and he will be over him with absolute power. At that time, Chen Yu may punish him. Thinking of the military law official's voice suddenly lowered, he saluted respectfully, calling For Mr. Chen.

After the questioning was over, Chen Yu showed a satisfied smile, patted the military judge on the shoulder and said, "Don't wait, I will tell the supreme general that you enforce the law impartially and let the general reward you."

The military law official was eager to be rewarded by the general, and even verbal approval would be enough for him to brag about for a few years, but it was different when Chen Yu said it.

Although Chen Yu said this sentence with a smile, he wished to pull the skin of the military judge in his heart. He was obviously dissatisfied with the bullying attitude of the military judge. He called it to ask for credit for him. .

The military judge pursed his lips and murmured, "Don't dare! Don't dare!"

The military law officer immediately took Chen Yu and the soldiers guarding Chen Yu to a camp. There were fifty guards outside the camp, divided into five teams to closely guard the camp and watch Chen Yu's every move.

Meng Tian knew very well that if Chen Yu was a spy, he would definitely take action at night to pass on news to his contacts. Therefore, Meng Tian asked the soldiers to hide secretly for 5 minutes when they entered the late night mixed post to provide enough time for Chen Yu's actions.

However, during the three days of close monitoring, Chen Yu did not act, and Meng Tian frowned. Could it be that Chen Yu was not careful, but he still extended the time to five days.

On the night of the [-]th, Chen Yu finally entered and exited the camp. The soldiers hidden in the grass followed Chen Yu. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu was just in the army pit for convenience, and the soldiers were speechless. Chen Yu was even more embarrassed. The soldiers had no choice but to get up and leave.

Meng Tian then ordered his lieutenant general to enter Chen Yu's camp and ask Chen Yu about his experience with the Huns.

Chen Yu roughly told the story.

When Chen Yu entered the territory of the Huns, he was captured by Youxian King. Chen Yu was deeply attracted by his talent, and Modu repeatedly asked him to be a counselor, but was rejected by Modu. Looking for an excuse not to let Chen Yu leave, Chen Yu took advantage of the Xiongnu's relaxation of vigilance and took the opportunity to escape.

Although he only spoke roughly, every sentence was true, and the general could not find any flaws.

But Chen Yu also made it clear that he could only survive if he got out completely, and he would be useless, and Meng Tian would not let him go.

Moreover, Chen Yu also hid the most crucial part. These secrets are a matter of life and death, and can only be reported to the Supreme General Meng Tian.
Within three days, the three generals asked different questions respectively, but Chen Yu still answered fluently. Meng Tian who heard the news was also at a loss. Could it be that Chen Yu really returned from fleeing?

But Chen Yu can be rewarded with a lot of money by His Majesty, and can be regarded as an envoy by His Majesty, he is by no means an idle person.

Maybe Chen Yu's rank is relatively high, and neither the general nor the military judge can find any flaws, but I am a general, so I don't believe that Chen Yu can't show any flaws.

Finally, Meng Tian issued a military order: "Order Chen Yu to enter Xingyuan, I will meet him!"
