Chapter 129 Bet

Cattle and sheep are grazing, and war horses are unsaddled.

Usu, the leader of the Moon Wolf tribe, was sitting in his seat with a headache. In the big tent, his subordinates were distributed.

The Xiongnu mainly operated on the border between Zhao and Qin, bordering the Yuezhi to the west and Donghu to the east.

The enemies of the Xiongnu were not only the Chinese people to the south, but also their own people. With the rise of Touman, pressure has been felt among various tribes.

There was actually a lot of hatred between the Xiongnu and Zhao. When they heard that Li Mu had been transferred, they couldn't figure out the truth and were not prepared to go south so soon.

However, a caravan returning from the Donghu tribe attracted the attention of the Xiongnu.

A small tribe near the Moon Wolf Descendants sent hundreds of knights, but they were repelled several times by the hundreds of caravan guards, and finally chased them to a small town on the border of Zhao State.

Wusu personally saw the bodies of the dead Hun warriors, and they were all killed by one arrow, with no unnecessary scars on their bodies.

It had been many years since Wusu had seen such a powerful archer.

However, what worries Wu Su even more is that after the tribe suffered a tragic defeat under Zhao Jun's city, it was directly annexed by Touman.

Then Touman continued southward with his tribal leaders, but only found an empty city.

The Xiongnu soldiers temporarily set up camp and waited for further information. But the descendants of the Moon Wolf can no longer wait like this. Touman is wealthy and he can afford it, but other small tribes cannot afford it.

If the power is damaged, I am afraid that it will be directly annexed by Touman.

"Chief, sister is back."

Thinking of the familiar voice, Wu Su was startled, the worry on his face solidified, but then he snorted.

"She didn't listen to me and eloped with Zhao. Now she wants to come back?"

However, Wu Su's words still contained a bit of heartache after all, but it was not just Wu Su's clansmen who came back, but also a Chinese man wearing a red mask.

The appearance of this man made Wu Su's face look wary, and his old body tensed up.

He has seen a lot of wild beasts on the grassland at his age. Wu Su has also seen the most ferocious beast, the Wolf King on the grassland.

To a certain extent, there is not much difference between man and beast. Wu Su's ability to see people is much better than that of beasts.

He could see that Touman was a strong man who could make the Huns strong, but he also knew that his violence and greed would bring disaster to the descendants of the Moon Wolf.

Wusu was worried about this, but he had no other choice.

But the person in front of him had such a deep aura that Wu Su instinctively felt a sense of fear.

"Who are you?"

"A man who wants to work with the Descent of the Moonwolf."

Zhao Shuang looked at the descendants of the Moon Wolf in the big tent. Most of them were women, and they were all pretty good-looking. The wife of the Zhao army guard who brought him here glanced at the acquaintances in the tent, looked complicated, bowed, and then left.

"The leader should also be aware of Touman's ambition to annex various tribes on the grassland. Now, because of a tribe's failure to attack Zhao, all the women in the tribe were robbed by Touman and the men were killed for their crimes. Isn't such an ending worthy of vigilance? ?”

Wu Su smiled and looked very unkind.

"But even so, there is no need for us to cooperate with you. People of the same clan cannot be trusted, and you, an outsider, are even less trustworthy!"

"The friendship between us has a long history, how can we say that we are outsiders?"

In the big tent, the sound of chuckles suddenly appeared.

"This is the first time I have heard a Chinese talk to the barbarians they call like this. If what you say is unreasonable, then I will hand you over to Touman. You should be aware of his methods of dealing with Chinese people."

In an instant, murderous intent overflowed in the tent, and more than one knife was pulled out of its scabbard.

Zhao Shuang seemed unaware and smiled softly.

"The friendship between us starts from the flood era two thousand years ago."

Wu Su was stunned for a moment, looking at this man who was talking endlessly, he felt a little regretful, maybe he shouldn't have reasoned with him.

An hour passed, and the guy in front of me didn't seem tired at all. Wu Su's old eyes were too sleepy to open. The menacing subordinates around him were also dozing off.

"enough!"

Wu Su couldn't bear it anymore and stopped Zhao Shuang from talking with a loud shout.

"I'll tell you the truth! We can't trust you at all. If you know what you're doing, leave immediately, otherwise I'll hand you over to Touman."

Zhao Shuang smiled and put his hands behind his back.

"It's just Touman, what are you afraid of!"

This sentence was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. The people in the tent looked at each other, and Wu Su, who was sitting in the leader's position, laughed even more.

"He now has ten thousand horses in his hands, and what about you? You actually say such big words?"

"In that case, we might as well make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Touman will soon discover that what he can gain at the Zhao border is much more than he imagined, and he will inevitably continue to go south. Let's bet on how much loot Touman can get from this trip?"

"I bet he'll lose everything!"

At this moment, outside the tent, a man walked into the tent and whispered a few words in Wu Su's ear, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Wu Su looked at Zhao Shuang and asked.

"What's the stakes?"

Zhao Shuang took out a luminous pearl from his sleeve and placed it in front of everyone.

"The value of this bead is enough to exchange for the food your tribe needs for a year. And I still have ten beads like this."

Zhao Shuang threw the luminous pearl to Wu Su and continued talking.

"If I lose, I'll give you the other ten."

Wu Su held the bead in his hand with a complex expression on his face. He knew very well the value of this luminous pearl, and he also knew that what the person in front of him said was true.

For a moment, he felt a little uneasy.

"What if we lose?"

"The entire descendants of the Moon Wolf will be my slaves for generations to come."

"What did you say!"

The situation in the tent became tense again, and the descendants of Moon Wolf present were all angered by Zhao Shuang's words.

"If the leader is unwilling, I will give you this night pearl as a token of sincerity for continued cooperation in the future. Or, the leader can make a big bet and win the tribe's ten years of rations at once, and no longer need to be coerced by Touman."

"Touman has just sent a message. There is no trace of Zhao Jun in the northern part of Yunzhong County. As long as we move fast enough, we can return with a full load. Even so, do we still want to gamble?"

"I know better than the leader what the situation is at the Zhao border at the moment."

Wu Su clenched the luminous pearl in his hand, his voice a little suppressed, like a gambler's last act of madness before the market opened.

"Okay, if you win, I swear in the name of the gods that all the women, warriors, horses, cattle, sheep, and slaves of the Moon Wolf descendants, including our lives, will be yours."
