Chapter 21 Arrival at the Di Ministry

"This kid is very arrogant!" The Qiang man standing in front of A Dou suddenly burst into laughter. Then he raised the whip in his hand and thrust hard at A Dou.

A Dou stretched out his hand, grabbed the horse whip, and then pulled the Qiang people directly off the horse with force.

"Oh, boy, I have such a lot of strength!" The Qiang man rolled on the ground, then got up again, and pulled out the knife from his waist.

"Bang!" A black shadow struck by, and the Qiang man felt his wrist numb, and then the knife in his hand could not be held and fell directly to the ground.

The Qiang man turned his head and found that there were already whip marks on his wrist. A hot feeling came from his wrist. The Qiang man couldn't help but grin, while A Dou opposite him was holding a whip in his hand and looking at him with a smile.

"I'll kill you!" The Qiang people were so angry that they bent down and prepared to pick up the knife on the ground.

"Bang!" Another whip sounded. This time, the whip in A Dou's hand thrust hard towards the head of the Qiang people, and also wrapped around the Qiang people's hair.

"Get up!" Adou whipped his whip and swung it violently. The Qiang people were immediately taken to fly up, throwing them several feet away, rolling a few times on the ground before stopping.

The Qiang people snatched up and climbed up, saying viciously, "Good boy, if you dare to throw me, wait for me!" The Qiang people said, turned around and looked at the ragged prisoners behind them, and said, "Boy, just surrender me, otherwise I will kill them!"

"Haha, you're whatever you want, I don't know these people." A Dou suddenly laughed as he said. At this time, A Dou felt that this Qiang man was so stupid that he was a little cute. It would be fine to threaten the big man named Yao Chong like this just now. The ragged prisoners were Yao Chong's family, so Yao Chong dared not resist anymore. Now A Dou is not close to these people, and the Qiang man actually threatened A Dou with these prisoners, so A Dou naturally would not submit.

After hearing Adou say this, the Qiang people remembered that Adou was just a passerby and didn't know Yao Chongyi and others at all. It would be useless to threaten Adou with Yao Chong and others.

"Hmph! Brothers, come on here and kill this kid. I'll invite everyone to drink tonight!" The Qiang people shouted at the Qiang soldiers behind them.

The Qiang people behind him originally saw that A Dou was a young man and were still watching the fun. However, after the fall just now, everyone also realized that A Dou was not a person with no power. So more than a dozen Qiang soldiers ignored the prisoners and rushed forward and rushed towards A Dou.

Seeing that more than a dozen Qiang people rushed up, the man named Yao Chong suddenly had a bright eye. Yao Chong turned over and picked up the knife that the Qiang people had just fallen from the ground, and at the same time, he wrapped the iron chain around his waist with his other hand.

"Go to die!" Yao Chong shouted, then held the knife in both hands and rushed towards the nearest Qiang man.

The Qiang man was riding a horse, while Yao Chong was walking, but Yao Chong was not afraid at all and actually collided with the horse directly.

"Bang!" The man and the horse collided, and what surprised Adou was that the horse fell down was the horse. Yao Chong took a step forward and took out the life of the Qiang Knight with one knife.

"What a great strength!" A Dou was slightly shocked. For a person like A Dou who practices internal skills, it is not difficult to break a horse, but for a person without internal skills, breaking a running horse with the power of his body alone can be called divine power.

"What a strong man. I didn't expect there was such a strong man among the Qiang people. It seems that these alien races are also hidden and lying tigers!" A Dou sighed lightly.

"Go to die!" Yao Chong grabbed a Qiang man on the horse, and with a sudden force, he threw the Qiang man to the ground. The other hand grabbed the reins of the horse, then jumped onto the horse.

"No, stop Yao Chong! Control Yao Chong's family!" At this time, the Qiang cavalry also realized the seriousness of the matter. Several Qiang people rushed up to stop Yao Chong, while the two Qiang soldiers began to run backwards, preparing to kidnap Yao Chong's tribe members again.

"You don't want to leave if you wait!" Yao Chong picked up the bow and arrow hanging immediately, and then he bent his bow and took the arrow extremely quickly. Two sharp arrows passed by. The two Qiang soldiers who rushed towards Yao Chong's family were immediately shot to the ground.

"It's over!" This idea flashed through the minds of other Qiang people at the same time. Not to mention that there were only a dozen people here, even if there were hundreds of people, they were not Yao Chong's opponents.

"Do you all die for me!" Yao Chong shouted loudly, and his voice came out several miles. Then Yao Chong waved the long sword in his hand and rushed into the Qiang cavalry team. After a few moves, the last two of the dozen Qiang people were left.

"Run!" The last two remaining Qiang people immediately turned their horses and began to run away one after another.

"I said, don't even think of running away!" Yao Chong stretched out his hand, picked up a spear inserted on the ground next to him, took a deep breath, and threw it out.

"Swoosh..." The spear turned into a rainbow, and rushed towards the two fleeing Qiang people with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Puchi..."

"Puchi!"

Two consecutive sounds, Adou looked up and Yao Chong shot through the bodies of the two Qiang people at the same time.

"Huhh..." Yao Chong gasped for a few breaths, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and then immediately rushed to the tribe members and cut off the ropes that tied the tribe members.

"Class leader! I'll help you cut the chain open!" A teenager walked up and took the knife and cut towards the chain.

"Yes..." Mars flew everywhere, and the boy's hand was bounced up directly, but the iron chain only had a slight trace.

"Hahaha, Xiaogu, you are still young and don't have enough strength. Give me a knife, I'll do it myself!" Yao Chong said, taking the long knife, and then chopped towards the interface of the chain.

"Yuan..." There was a crisp sound. This time, Yao Chong's hand was not bounced up, but the iron chain was still not broken.

"Huh!" Yao Chong looked at the knife in his hand and found that the blade had been rolled up.

"This iron chain is so hard!" The big man looked at the knife in his hand that had been rolled up with a blade and sighed helplessly.

"I want me to do it!" A Dou's voice sounded from the front.

Yao Chong raised his head, looked at Adou, and said incrediblely: "This iron chain is not made of ordinary materials. It seems that it takes magic weapons and weapons to cut them off. Brother, do you have magic weapons and weapons there."

"Hehehe, Brother Yao, don't worry!" A Dou walked over with a smile and slowly pulled out the Leng Ye sword.

A cold light flashed, and then a straightforward voice sounded. Looking at the iron chain, it had been cut into two pieces.

"What a fast sword!" Yao Chong was slightly stunned, then looked at the neat cut of the iron chain, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a sharp sword."

Yao Chong removed the chains on his body, clasped his fists at Adou, and said, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your little brother, my tribe and I would probably be under the control of these thieves. In Xia Yao Chong, I will definitely repay my little brother for his great kindness today in the future."

"Hehehe, Brother Yao, are you a Qiang native?" A Dou asked.

"Yes, I'm from Qiang." Yao Chong nodded.

"Brother Yao, I just saw those who trap you are also Qiang people. Why is this?" A Dou continued.

"This is the thing." Yao Chong pointed to the corpses of the Qiang people on the ground and said, "They are Cheriji's people."

Yao Chong told Adou all the causes and consequences, and it took him half an hour to finish the story.

It turned out that Yao Chong was also a major leader of the Qiang tribe, managing the 300 tribes that are large and small in the westernmost part of the Qiang tribe.

Yao Chong was born with divine power, and could lift a thousand pounds. With his superb martial arts, he was called the number one warrior in the West of Qiang. At the same time, because of Yao Chong's bravery, his prestige among the Qiang people was also very high. Three years ago, Yao Chong once killed the commander of the Cheshi, making the Cheshi dare not invade the Qiang land, which also made Yao Chong's prestige reach a peak. In the northwest of the Qiang people, the Qiang people only knew that there was Yao Chong, but not Qiang King Cheriji. It was precisely because of this that Cheriji was very afraid of Yao Chong, for fear that one day Yao Chong would raise the anti-flag and overthrow him.

This time, Cheriji went to Liangzhou and summoned Yao Chong to go with him. So Yao Chong took the elite of the three thousand clans and went to Liangzhou with Cheriji. Cheriji intended to kill Yao Chong on the battlefield, so every time he attacked, he would order Yao Chong to lead his men to Chong in the front, and every time he retreated, Yao Chong left behind to cut off the rear.

In just one month, most of Yao Chong's tribe members were injured, and Yao Chong himself was also shot by Ma Chao. At this time, Yao Chong also realized that Cheriji used himself as cannon fodder, so he stayed in the camp under the pretext of recuperation and refused to fight.

But Cheriji did not give up. Even if Yao Chong was injured, Cheriji would send people to supervise Yao Chong to continue the battle. Yao Chong was furious and left the front line with his people.

After Yao Chong was gone, Cheriji told other Qiang people that Yao Chong was afraid to fight, and did not obey the command, and escaped at the last minute. Then he used this as an excuse to order the attack on Yao Chong's tribe.

Yao Chong went out of the war and took away the strong men in the clan. The clan left the old and weak, which could not resist the attacks of other Qiang tribes. A few days later, Yao Chong's old camp fell. When Yao Chong returned to the tribe, the people sent by Cheriji threatened Yao Chong and others to put down their weapons with their family members.

Seeing that his family was coerced, the hardcover warriors around Yao Chong had no intention of fighting again, and they put down their weapons and surrendered. Even Yao Chong himself was very cowardly and captured.

Cheriji's people were about to take Yao Chong to Cheriji for credit, but were afraid of Yao Chong's force, so they found a chain of iron to tie Yao Chong, and then escorted Yao Chong's family to go on the road, using Yao Chong's family as a threat, so that Yao Chong did not dare to act rashly.

But unexpectedly, he met A Dou halfway, and the Qiang man saw that A Dou was young and thought A Dou was easy to bully, but he was thrown by A Dou. The Qiang man rushed forward in a hurry and wanted to kill A Dou, but forgot that there was another Yao Chong there who was eyeing him. Without his family to threaten Yao Chong, Yao Chong suddenly turned into a tiger, and in a blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen people.

Yao Chong is a warrior, and he also sounds a bit prestige among the Qiang people. Thinking of this, Adou felt a little moved and asked, "Brother Yao, I don't know what your plans are in the future?"

"I'm going to join my uncle Juquzi's room, he's in Zhangye!" Yao Chong said.

"Juquzijian? It sounds like a Hun..."

"The little brother is right. My uncle is indeed a Hun, but he was driven to the vicinity of Zhangye by the Xianbei people. My uncle still has three thousand heroic soldiers in his hands, so I can ensure my integrity." Yao Chong said.

"Brother Yao, I have a chance to get rid of Cheriji. I wonder if Brother Yao is interested?"

"Get rid of Cheriji?" Yao Chong was shocked and began to look at A Dou carefully.

"Brother Yao, I'm not intimidated. I came from Chang'an." A Dou said.

"Chang'an? Are you sent by the Han emperor?" Yao Chong asked.

"Yeah...just be true!"

"I can't see it, I really can't see it. I can't imagine that the person sent by the Han emperor is so young." Yao Chong nodded without thinking, "Okay, this Cheriji has ruined my family. As long as I can kill Cheriji, I will listen to you!"

"Okay, let's swear to high-five!" Adou said as he stretched out his hand.

"Come on, swear by high-five!" Yao Chong also stretched out his hand.

Afterwards, Adou took out a copper plate from his arms, raised his sword to split the copper plate in half, handed it to Yao Chong, and said, "Brother Yao, in a few days, someone will naturally come to you with this half of the copper plate. I hope Brother Yao will definitely help me when the time comes!"

"Okay, one word is certain!" Yao Chong took the half of the copper plate very simply.

"Then we'll have a date later!" Adou slapped his horse and continued to walk forward.

"Okay, there will be a date later!" Yao Chong finished speaking, suddenly remembered something, and then shouted: "Little brother, I don't know what your name is yet!"

"I'm the next surname Liu..." A Dou's voice came from a distance.

"The surname is Liu... There are many Han people with surname Liu. I remember that the emperors of Han people have surnames Liu." Yao Chong murmured to himself.

The Di people were separated from the Qiang people. Originally, the two Qiang and Di people were originally a family, so the two tribes were basically mixed together. Gradually, the Di people turned into farming people and needed to live steadily to cultivate the land, so countless villages gradually formed. Although the Qiang people also returned to farm, most of the Qiang people still relied on nomadic life.

The so-called king tribe of the Di people is actually the most concentrated place where the Di people live. It is close to the water source and has been reclaimed by the Di people a piece of land that can be cultivated. Many Di people live nearby, and the place where the Di king Fu Jian lives is called the king tribe of the Di people. Countless Di villages surround the king tribe like stars arching the moon.

After Fu Jian became the king of Di, he vigorously developed agriculture, which led to the increase in the population of the Di people every year. Now, Fu Jian built a city in this royal family, as the so-called capital of the Di people, and Fu Jian's own palace is also in this city.

However, in Adou's opinion, the Di people's national capital was disappointing. Not to mention the big cities like Chang'an, Xudu, and Yecheng, they were even ordinary counties in the Central Plains.

The low city wall is only a little over one meter. Ordinary adults can catch the battlements with one hop. Moreover, the entire city wall is made of loess, which feels more like a dam, and it is a dam with a sense of security. The city wall has no city gate tower at all, and there is not even a city gate installed. There is only an open entrance. There is a soldier standing on both sides of the entrance, and you don’t need to pay any lijin to enter the city. You can enter the city as long as you want.

After walking into the city, I looked up and saw that the narrow road was lined with low dirt houses. In some places, even dirt houses were reluctant to build. I just used a shelf with wood, and then laid a layer of grass on it to build a simple shed. The pavement had not been rested and the loess was full of bumps. A Dou would not doubt at all. If there was a rain, the road would definitely become muddy and difficult to walk.

"It's so shabby!" Adou sighed silently in his heart.

For Adou, the scale of the city during the Three Kingdoms period was relatively small. In comparison, the later Beijing city was several times larger than that of Chang'an today! Now that we came to the so-called capital of the Di people, Audou knew what the real shabbyness was. In Adou's view, this could not be regarded as a city at all. Even the ordinary bandits' villages were much better than this city!

Seeing such a shabby city, A Dou lost the desire to continue visiting, and directly found someone to find out where Pu Lin lived. As soon as he inquired about A Dou, he realized that Pu Lin did not live in the city, but lived in the Pu family's own tribe sixty miles eastward.

At the same time, Adou also found another news, that is, there were two people whom the Di king Fu Jian trusted the most, one was Pu Lin, and the other was Lu Gui. This Lu Gui and Pu Lin could be considered as Fu Jian's left and right hands, but Lu Gui and Pu Lin were very dissatisfied. Every time Pu Lin talked about the east, Lu Gui would inevitably refer to the west, and the two always sang the opposite tune to each other.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that Fu Jian was very familiar with the way of being a king. He knew that Pu Lin and Lu Gui would restrain each other and would not give any party the chance to dominate... It seems that although Fu Jian is a Di person, he is very smart."
To be continued...
