"Old fogey, you actually didn't die!"
When enemies met, their eyes turned red!
Mao Dun gritted his teeth when he saw Tou Man appear!
However, before he could draw his bow, a wave of arrows rained down.
Moreover, these arrows were all flying towards him.
It was obvious that Touman had learned that move of his. The body of a thief was the body of a king!
"Puff, puff, puff…!"
More than 2,000 arrows fell on his head, and in the blink of an eye, he was turned into a porcupine.
In the end, he fell off his horse!
"Phew…!"
Seeing Mao Dun dead, Wu Shiluo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The mission was finally completed, and he could finally return to Xianyang to report!
He hoped that while he was away, his concubines would not be harmed by the Crown Prince!
"Put down your bow and saber, dismount and surrender!"
"This king may spare your lives!"
With Mao Dun's death, his subordinates had become headless flies.
They were about to scatter and flee when they heard what Doman said. They couldn't help but hesitate.
"Crash…!"
After a moment of hesitation, someone threw away the bow and saber first, and the others followed suit.
Not long after, nearly ten thousand soldiers threw away their weapons, jumped off their horses, and knelt down to surrender!
The Crown Prince was dead, and there wasn't even a single person to give orders!
They had no choice but to surrender.
"Kill them all!"
"Release the arrows!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Touman, who had just issued the pardon, suddenly changed his mind.
"Xiu, xiu, xiu…!"
With his command, waves of arrows rained down on the heads of the surrendered soldiers, and soon, a large number of them fell.
After firing the arrows, the ambush soldiers all rushed out and started a massacre on the unarmed soldiers who surrendered!
"How dare you rebel with that bastard!"
"He deserves to die!"
"Cough, cough…"
Seeing the rebel soldiers being slaughtered, the leader gritted his teeth and cursed.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Quickly help the king back to the palace!"
"Quickly call the imperial physician!"
……
"Pa!"
"Hurry up!"
"If we don't repair this city wall today, no one is allowed to eat!”
After Mao Dun was killed, the arrow wound on his head acted up and he couldn't get up. Wu Shiluo didn't stay for long and directly said goodbye.
At this moment, under the lead of the palace guards, they went to the outside of the city to receive the 300,000 livestock that Tuman had rewarded.
Along the way, he saw many Central Plainsmen being whipped by the Xiongnu like cattle and horses.
Those who were not agile would be beaten up!
Some were even beaten to death!
In just a short distance, he saw two Central Plainsmen being beaten to death!
"Sigh…!"
Seeing this tragic scene, even the profit-seeking him could not help but sigh.
In the end, he sighed and left the Xiongnu with his subordinates after receiving the livestock!
"This food is enough for us to eat for a while!”
"And these dozen women, go back and give one to the commander. The rest will be divided among us brothers!”
"Alright!"
"Haha…!"
Not long after leaving the capital, he saw a troop of Xiongnu cavalry escorting many spoils of war back to the city.
Other than the cattle and sheep, there were also bound young men and more than ten young women.
"Stop!"
Seeing this Xiongnu army, Wu Shiluo stepped forward to stop them.
"Who are you?"
"You dare to stop us brothers? Are you courting death?”
Seeing that someone was blocking the way, the leader of the Xiongnu army was furious. He pulled out his scimitar and was about to attack.
"How dare you!"
"Mister Wu is the King's brother!”
"Don't be rude!"
Just as he glared, the palace officials who were escorting him quickly came forward to stop him.
This was their king's benefactor, and nothing could happen to him!
"Hualala!"
"This lowly one greets Your Excellency!"
"I was blind. Please forgive me, sir!”
Seeing that it was the king's trusted aide, the Xiongnu soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dismounted and apologized.
"Mr. Wu, if you like these spoils of war, feel free to take them!”
The palace official ignored him and said to Wu Shiluo attentively.
When he saw Wu Shiluo's eyes darting around the spoils of war, he thought that he had taken a fancy to those cows and sheep.
"This time, the king has rewarded too many livestock. I don't have enough manpower, so it's not easy to drive them!”
"How about this? I'll buy those men and women so that they can drive the livestock for me!”
Wu Shiluo didn't ask for cows and sheep, but looked at the group of men and women.
"Hey! You're the king's brother. How could a group of slaves dare to let you spend money!”
"Come on, release those four-legged sheep and hand them over to Mr. Wu!”
Seeing that he had taken a fancy to those slaves, the palace officials quickly ordered for them to be released.
"This is business, how can I not pay?”
"Take this money and buy a few jars of good wine for our brothers!”
Wu Shiluo did not say anything and stuffed a small bag of gold into the palace official's hands.
"This…How can I accept this? Heehee…!”
Seeing how generous he was, the palace official's eyes lit up." Mr. Wu, if you don't have enough manpower, there are still many slaves in the palace. Why don't I go back and send a few thousand more?”
In their eyes, these slaves were not even worth as much as cattle and sheep.
Cattle and sheep could be eaten or sold for money. These slaves were useless except for being sent back to the capital to do some hard labor.
He couldn't even sell it.
"A few thousand?"
" Are there many slaves in the capital?"
Wu Shiluo was slightly surprised.
"Not many. There are only 20,000 people left!”
"The original 40,000 to 50,000, more than half died in these few days!”
The palace official said lightly.
It was as if he was talking about some insignificant matter, and he seemed to be quite disapproving.
"Forget it!"
"These people are enough!"
Hearing that there were still 20,000 Central Plainsmen in the capital, Wu Shiluo waved his hand.
There were too many of them. He could not save them even if he wanted to.
He might as well hurry back and tell the Crown Prince this information!
"Alright then!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let her go!”
"Oh right, give those cows and sheep to Mr. Wu too!”
The palace officials who had received the benefits felt a little apologetic, so they simply gave the other spoils of war to Wu Shiluo.
"Yes, sir!"
The Xiongnu leader did not dare to disobey the order and quickly handed over all the spoils of war.
"Thank you!"
Wu Shiluo didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving the spoils of war, he continued to rush to Wu Fortress.
……
"How did you fall into the hands of the Xiongnu?”
After leaving the Xiongnu and entering Great Qin, Wu Shiluo asked the captured slaves.
"We were originally citizens of the Lu Family Village in Ning City. Yesterday, a group of Xiongnu cavalry suddenly came.”
"Forget about the robbery, they even killed people!”
"They took away everything they could. Those they couldn't take away, they burned them!”
"There are more than a thousand people in our stockade, and only a few of us are left!”
"Wu, wu…!"
Speaking of the sad part, the young man could not help but wipe his tears.
"I'm from the Liu Family in Ning City. Our village was also burned down by those animals!”
"My family of six died in the sea of fire!”
"I watched them die in front of me!”
Another young man said in a low voice.
He was neither sad nor crying. He just stared at the man with his bloodshot eyes.
He gripped the horsewhip tightly in his hands.
"Xiongnu are all beasts…!"
The other woman had just opened her mouth to say something when she started crying.
"How about this? I'll give each of you a horse and some money.”
Hearing their pitiful background, Wu Shiluo suddenly felt compassion.
He bought these people to save their lives.
As for driving the livestock, it was just an excuse.
"Home?"
"We don't have a home!"
The young man smiled bitterly and cupped his hands." Thank you for saving us, Master. If you want to send us, send us to the Meng Army!"”
"Yes!"
"We want to find the Meng army and kill the Xiongnu!”
"Master, please send us to the Meng Army!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the captives began to beg.
"Alright then!"
"Since you want to join the Meng army, I won't let you go empty-handed!”
"How about this, each of us will get a good warhorse!”
"In addition, help me send 100,000 cattle and sheep to the Meng army!”
Seeing that they were going to join the Meng army, the Wu family's Luohe quickly agreed and asked them to send a batch of cattle and sheep.
The reason why he was so generous was just to win the Crown Prince's favor.
The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were favored by the Crown Prince.
If he could curry favor with these two brothers, he might be able to put in a good word for him in front of the Crown Prince in the future.
In addition, when he returned, if he told the Crown Prince that he had not only completed the mission, but had also sent 100,000 cattle and sheep to the Meng family's army, the Crown Prince would be very happy.
If the Crown Prince was happy, his family's lives would be saved!
Moreover, a mere 100,000 cows and sheep was nothing to him!
……
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Wu Shiluo requests an audience!”
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion in Xianyang City, Ying Ziye was discussing the war in the North Desert with Meng Yi and Wang Ben when he saw a guard reporting to him.
"So fast?"
Hearing the guard's words, Ying Ziye was slightly surprised.
It had only been two days, and this fellow had already returned. Wasn't his speed a little too fast?
Although the Xiongnu were not far from Xianyang, they could make a trip there in a night.
However, he still had a heavy responsibility to carry after he went to the Xiongnu. It was impossible for him to return so quickly.
"Let him in!"
"Yes, sir!"
The guard accepted the order. Not long after, he led a fat man with a radiant face in.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Wu Shi came in naked and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"You came back in just two days. Did you fail the mission?”
