Your Majesty, please draw the card

Tian Hu is 16 years old this year and is a loafer.The ancestor of the Tian family was a prisoner who was exiled to the north, and it is said that he was once prominent.In the generation of Tian Hu's father, he has become a farmer through and through, but he knows a few more words than ordinary people.

When Tian Hu was young, his father wanted to teach him how to read according to the teachings of his ancestors, but he was not interested. Instead, he liked to fight cocks, walk dogs and mix with passing Jianghu people.After going back and forth like this, he became one of the best negative examples in the village, and one of the most unpromising descendants of the Tian family.

Tian Hu occasionally heard the rumors of the Huns massacring the village, but because Tian Hu's village was located in the interior and was guarded by Dayan's army, he had never seen the Huns come to rob.

Tian Hu remembered very clearly that night when he was lying on the haystack drinking, the village suddenly became chaotic.When the Huns came, his father killed his mother and his 11-year-old sister first.Tian Hu was frightened to death when he found out, thinking his father was crazy.

"I'm saving them!" My father was crying, sitting in a pool of blood.

It didn't take long for Tian Hu to understand the meaning of this sentence.That night, the village was like a living hell.A person's head rolled to Tian Hu's feet, turned around and stopped. It was his second uncle.The air smelled of burnt meat, and Tian Hu knew that what the Huns were roasting was the corpse of his own sister.

Tian Hu wanted to vomit, but his back was stepped on so hard that he couldn't even vomit, he could only let out heart-piercing coughs one after another.

The next day, there were no living women left in the village, and the men were driven to work as coolies.As long as you take a slow step along the way, the whip will fall mercilessly.

At night, Father Tian secretly told Tian Hu that according to the direction they were heading, the Huns were still heading south.This time the Huns were coming so fiercely that Dayan's army didn't know when they would be able to stop them.

"I heard that there is General Han at the border, who uses his troops like a god. If only he were here!" Father Tian sighed.

"Father, you are so confused. Didn't you say that General Han was plotted against by barbarians and injured his leg? Did the old emperor let him go back to take care of the elderly?" Tian Hu glanced at the sky, where the stars were clearly discernible, "We are suffering here. However, the old emperor is enjoying his life in Chang'an City, God is really unfair!"

Father Tian was furious: "Stop talking nonsense! How did I teach you to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and where have you been to be loyal to the emperor and the country?"

Tian Hu hurriedly said: "Father, don't be angry, we are all meat on other people's chopping boards, even if I want to be loyal to the emperor, I have no chance, right?"

Father Tian was dejected and speechless.

Soon after, the Huns suddenly began picking people from among the coolies.Tian Hu spent a lot of effort to find out that the selected person was going to die.So he knelt down to the Huns with a shy face, and replaced his father in a daze.Father Tian wanted to beat him up when he found out, but it was too late. Tian Hu and many other coolies were dragged away by the Huns.

Tian Hu didn't know until two days later that the Huns were fighting with the idea of ​​letting them and the Dayan defenders kill each other.

These Xiongnu savages were really vicious. They were fully armed and hid in the crowd, and they kept letting the unarmed coolies climb up the city wall.Tian Hu gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Probably because he was concerned about his own life, very few arrows were shot down from the city wall, and even none of them were shot down in the end.Around Tian Hu, some people shouted and slammed into the city wall, preferring to die than climb the top of the wall; Standing bewildered, waiting for death to come at any moment in the rain of blood.

Tian Hu didn't want to die yet, so he was more sober than others.He carefully avoided everyone's sight and kept his body as close to the city wall as possible.Then, seeing his opportunity, he stole a dagger from the corpse of a Hun.With the weapon in hand, Tian Hu's heart was slightly settled.The battlefield was so chaotic, and even though the Xiongnu had a murderous supervisor team behind them, he felt that he might be able to find a chance to escape.

After waiting for a while, Dayan's army suddenly came from the rear, and the Huns' warlord team was cut down first. Tian Hu regained his spirit and planned his escape route.At this time, the city gate suddenly opened, and he was pushed and shoved to the middle of the two city walls.Looking at the black archers on the city wall, Tian Hu secretly sighed that my life is over, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.Unexpectedly, after he waited for a while, the shouts of killing around him gradually subsided. Dayan's army killed all the Huns in the team, and he was miraculously saved!

Tian Hu feels that things in the world are really impermanent.He originally planned to die in place of his father, and he was ready to shout and stab a Hun to death before he died. Unexpectedly, he was out of danger in the end, but his father was still suffering in the coolie camp.If I had known this, I might as well not change it!

The rescued people like Tian Hu can't leave immediately.They were asked to stand where they were, and someone would come and question them.It so happened that the one who asked Tian Hu was Bing Yong from the same village as him. When Bing Yong saw Tian Hu, he immediately became happy and asked him how Master Tian was.

Tian Hu's father is one of the few people in the village who can read and write. Because he will teach the children in the village to read and write for free, everyone respectfully calls him Master.In fact, Tian Hu also knew that his father hadn't read many books, and his ability was far worse than that of his ancestors who had been officials.

"My father should still be alive."

Tian Hu's answer made Na Bingyong show him a relieved smile.In this troubled world, it is good to be alive, as for how long you can live, it depends on the mood of God.

Because he met a fellow villager, Tian Hu's actions were a little more free.He helped to ask many people about their origins and origins. Most of these people were captured by the Huns as coolies like him, and a few were traders who hadn't escaped in time.In the afternoon, Tian Hu squatted on the ground and ate a piece of pancake given to him by a fellow villager. A soldier bravely led several people to the house where they were placed, and happened to pass by him.

Tian Hu blinked, feeling that something was wrong with these people.He was stunned for a while before he realized what was wrong. These people's walking postures and bulges on their clothes were different from ordinary people. They looked a bit like heroes in the world.He couldn't say anything about the others, but for one of them, Tian Hu was sure that the man had a soft sword hidden in his waist, and he had also practiced kung fu such as Tongbeiquan.

Why did such a team of quacks suddenly run out of the coolie?Will the Jianghu guest who possesses martial arts also be caught by the Huns?

"Who are these people?" Tian Hu leaned over and asked his fellow villagers.

"Not all of them were arrested just like you, and they are about to take them to rest! It is said that the Huns slaughtered the villages so badly that there are only one or two people left in many places, and they can only prove their identities to each other."

Tian Hu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, which meant that no one knew these quacks except themselves.

Tian Hu asked again: "Brother, you usually guard the city, what if someone touches it and makes a surprise attack?"

"Where can that be? The highest part of the city wall is oiled, and ordinary people can't climb it. Even if they climb up, no one can avoid so many eyes at the same time on the city wall during the day. Although there are fewer people standing guard at night. , but will block the road with wooden barrels. If you want to cross the city wall, you have to go through all kinds of bright and dark sentries. How can it be so easy to sneak attack? I'm not bragging, if General Sima didn't take the initiative to open the city gate today, you would They can't get in even after being marked outside for three days and three nights."

Tian Hu was not convinced and said: "I said in case, what if someone sneak attack?"

"Then take out this baby and blow it, it can wake up the dead." Tian Hu's fellow villager took out a black whistle from his collar.

Tian Hu's eyes lit up: "Can you show me?"

"Look, it's okay, don't brag, you will be killed if you lie about the military situation, and I won't be able to save you then."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't blow..."

Tian Hu rolled his eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, my stomach hurts!"

"what happened to you?"

"I think it's because I haven't touched oil and water for a long time, and I have a stomachache after eating pastry pancakes. I'll come as soon as I go!"

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"Isn't there a resting place over there? There must be a latrine! Big brother, I'll see you after I finish urinating!"

Seeing that Tian Hu had run far away, the soldier could not help grinning and said, "There is a latrine over there, and there is one here too! He has rough hands and feet, and he doesn't look like Mr. Tian at all."

Tian Hu hid the whistle he had brought along from his fellow villager, and secretly followed the team in front.He has always been very concerned about why a group of Jianghu people get together.

Could it be to help punch the Huns?

If that's the case, I'll take a sneak peek and gain some insight.

After Tian Hu walked for a while, he realized that he had lost track.It felt the same everywhere, so he was too embarrassed to ask, so he had to stoop and walk under the windows to eavesdrop.

After hearing that there was nothing wrong with several rooms in a row, Tian Hu was feeling disappointed when he suddenly found that there was no sound in one room.

Could it be that people haven't lived in it yet?

Tian Hu moved to the window and went to look inside.His eyes just met a pair of blood-red dead eyes, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed out.Tian Hu regained his composure and recognized that this was Bing Yong who had just led the way for that team of Jianghu people. He didn't expect that he had died here in just a moment.

There was no one in the house except a dead body.Tian Hu shivered and stepped back a few steps, but suddenly his back bumped into something.

"Hey!" Tian Hu exclaimed, and then he felt a numbness all over his body, his whole body's strength suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't even speak.

Tian Hu rolled his eyes and saw one of the quacks was grabbing his collar.

"Brother, you are right. This kid is really suspicious of us. What should we do?"

Only a deep voice said: "What else can I do besides killing? First find a place to hide until dark, and when the little emperor is dealt with, bring the head back to the Huns. We will have endless glory and wealth waiting for us." .”

"Hahaha, brother is right!"

Tian Hu felt that he was a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. He bit his tongue hard, and blood dripped down the corner of his mouth immediately.

"Huh? This kid killed himself by biting his tongue!"

Tian Hu felt that the sounds around him were getting more and more distant.He heard from the old man in the village that biting his tongue and committing suicide would not kill him so quickly. In many cases, he just passed out from the pain and lost his breath for a short period of time.

Sure enough, when he opened his eyes again, there was no one around.He struggled to get the whistle out of his collar.He could barely breathe because of the blood in his mouth.

Tian Hu closed his eyes, recalled his sister's scorched body, recalled the tragic deaths of people he knew and didn't know, and then he bit the whistle desperately and blew it...

I really didn't expect that the old emperor came here.No, according to what they said, the emperor seems to be very young!

It was the emperor who saved my life, and in the end I was able to return to the country once loyal to the emperor.

Dad, if you found out, would you praise me for being promising?

A sharp whistle pierced the sky.
