Chapter 129 Disguised as a Hu
Late at night, in the eastern part of Pasu Grassland, fifty miles away from the North Korean border.
Nagorburu ordered everyone to rest where they were. This was the third day of their escape from the Lugo tribe, and also the third short night they were about to spend.
They could only rest for two hours, and had to continue on their journey once the time was up. This was why they were able to reach the border of Chao State in such a short time.
Nagorbru found a patch of grass and sat down. Due to lack of sleep, his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Even though it was only fifty miles away from the border of Chao, he still did not dare to let down his tight belt unless he was completely inside Chao's territory and received asylum.
At this time, Naxi came over and bowed to him and said, "Chanyu, we have been running around for three days and three nights. We are exhausted and many people are about to collapse..."
"Although we have rest time, this is not enough time. If we continue like this, I'm afraid many brothers will fall."
Nagorburu stood up immediately. He glanced at the Hu people who were sitting on the ground to rest. Many of them had fallen asleep on the grass, obviously exhausted.
"Chan Yu, no one should have caught up with us. Why don't we let everyone have a good rest for a night before continuing on our journey?"
"It's only fifty miles away from the border of Chao State. We can reach it in one morning. After a good rest, it will be easier to negotiate with the people of Chao State, right?"
"If everyone is exhausted, we will look like lost dogs, which will be disadvantageous to us."
After hearing what Naxi said, Nagorburu, who had been hesitating, finally nodded.
"Well, we've been running for so long and no Han people have come to catch up with us. I guess they think we all died in the chaos of the battle."
"As you said, let's all take a rest for the night! Let's light a fire and roast some meat so that everyone can have a good meal tonight!"
"It's the king!"
Half an hour later, Ying Xuanze and Huo Qubing appeared on the nearby grass on horseback. They saw fire in front of them from afar and stopped their horses immediately.
Both men quickly got off their horses, then bent their bodies and ran forward quickly. When they were less than a thousand meters away from the fire, they stopped and crawled forward.
"There is a fire ahead. I think they are people from the Nagor tribe." Huo Qubing said in a low voice.
Ying Xuanze did not respond, but kept crawling forward. After he could see the person clearly, he asked Huo Qubing to stop with him.
"There's no one following them. It seems they thought no one would chase them so they let down their guard?" Huo Qubing whispered again.
Ying Xuanze frowned slightly: "Let's observe for a while. They are in the light while we are in the dark, which gives us an advantage. We must not alert them."
Huo Qubing nodded, and the two of them lay on the grass and watched the Hu soldiers who were eating meat in front of them.
The Hu soldiers were talking and laughing. They were eating meat and drinking wine. After a short rest of half an hour, they regained some energy.
The Hu people were so happy to know that they could have a good night's sleep after eating and drinking. The days of escape in fear were finally coming to an end.
After an unknown amount of time, a Hu man stood up to relieve himself. He ran towards the direction of Ying Xuanze and Huo Qubing, and finally relieved himself a hundred meters away from them.
Ying Xuanze pondered for a while, then took off the sword from his waist and slapped the grass beside him a few times.
The drunk Hu man was attracted by the sudden noise after he went to the toilet. He looked up and saw the grass shaking.
Although the firelight was dim and he couldn't see clearly, his intuition told him that there must be a raccoon in the grass, which was an animal unique to their grassland.
The meat of the raccoon is plump and delicious. After being roasted, it is so sizzling and fragrant when you bite it into your mouth. The thought of this made him very greedy.
The beast's movements were clumsy, and he felt he could catch it even after drinking.
He walked forward slowly, already imagining himself eating civet cat meat in his mind. After a moment he leaned over to see how big the civet cat was.
However, a figure rushed out from the grass. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and was about to shout to warn his companions, but his neck was cut by a sharp sword.
This sword not only took his life, but also destroyed his vocal cords.
The Hu soldier covered his bleeding throat and made gurgling sounds. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Huo Qubing caught his body, causing his blood to drip vertically onto the grass.
Ying Xuanze quickly stripped off the Hu man's outer clothes, threw the body aside, and then took off his armor and clothes.
"My lord, what do you want?" Huo Qubing was a little confused as to why Ying Xuanze did this.
"I will disguise myself as a Hu person and blend in with them, so that I can find out what their purpose is." After taking off his coat, Ying Xuanze put on the Hu person's coat and pants.
"No, my Lord! This is too dangerous. What if they find out?"
"Since we have discovered them, why don't we send our soldiers over here immediately and kill them after they fall asleep?"
"My Lord, there is no need to take such a risk! Can't we easily deal with such a small number of people?"
Ying Xuanze shook his head: "The horses make too much noise. Once they are awakened from their sleep, some of them will always escape."
"As long as those people reach the border of the Kingdom of Chao, it will not be easy to eliminate the Chanyu of the Nagor tribe."
"It just so happens that I also want to know some of Chaoguo's plans, which will be helpful for my subsequent plans."
Ying Xuanze patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Qubing, you don't have to worry about me. I can speak the language of the Hu people."
"Go back and find the Qin cavalry immediately. Move forward at full speed after daybreak and launch an attack directly after reaching the border of Chao State!"
"Since Chao State and Luge Tribe are allies, I don't think they will deploy too many troops on the border, so more than 10,000 Qin cavalrymen are enough to deal with them."
In fact, even if it was not what Ying Xuanze thought, he would not be too panicked. He now has more than 10 million points and can form an army of tens of thousands of people at any time.
He wanted to disguise himself as a Hu person and sneak in because he wanted to know whether Chao would still think of attacking Daying after learning about the destruction of Lu Ge’s tribe. This would determine when he should launch an attack on the capital.
Seeing his master's determined look, Huo Qubing had no choice but to nod and agree.
He retreated immediately, while Ying Xuanze went to another place disguised as a Hu man, found a place to sit down and ate the freshly roasted leg meat.
"Hmm? Brother, you look unfamiliar? I haven't seen you before?" A drunk Hu soldier asked in surprise when he saw Ying Xuanze.
"Oh, I have been feeding horses before and rarely went to the battlefield, so you haven't seen it." Ying Xuanze spoke fluent Hu language.
During the years he spent at the border, he happened to learn the Hu language for a few years somewhere else and his skin became tanned, making him look a bit like a Hu man.
Although the accent was a little different, the drunk Hu soldier didn't think much about it. He didn't think Ying Xuanze was suspicious. After all, he didn't think that the Han people could speak their language.
"Eat quickly, then go to sleep because we have to travel tomorrow morning." The Hu soldier patted his shoulder.
"Okay!" Ying Xuanze naturally picked up the wine bag and took a sip of the strong liquor, and his eyes were extremely hot...
