"We're finally going home!"

Under the escort of the imperial guards and the Yuezhi King, half a month later, the delegation led by Li Shun finally arrived near a river less than two hundred miles from Longxi County, Daqin.

This river is a tributary of the river. You can enter the territory of the Qin Dynasty in one day to the southeast. Li Shun passed by this river when he set out. However, because there was no guide or map at the beginning, he took many roads along the area at the junction of Helan Mountain and Qilian Mountains. It took nearly a month to find the place where the Yuezhi royal court was located.

I went slowly but came back quickly. When I got here, I could see the rolling Longshan Mountains (Liupan Mountains) standing in the sky. When I got here, Li Shun and all the imperial guards could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Maodun escaped, the Yuezhi King was unable to hand over the people needed by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. In addition, the Yuezhi was not united, and Li Shun was also worried that he would be attacked by the Yuezhi tribe. After all, how fierce the three hundred imperial guards were, there was absolutely no hope of winning against the thousands of soldiers of the Yuezhi people.

"Sir, this place is only one day away from Daqin. It's almost dark now, so it's better to find a safe place to stay and rest as soon as possible!" The leader of the Yuezhi warrior who was in charge of escorting him also breathed a sigh of relief and came to seek Li Shun's opinion with the translator.

"Okay, it's really hard to travel for a few days. I'll find a shelter nearby to camp and set off tomorrow morning!" Li Shun agreed.

After half a month of getting along, Li Shun confirmed that there was no problem with the guards of the Yuezhi King. He escorted them all the way carefully and carefully. Not only did he explore the way in advance and notify the Yuezhi tribe along the way to provide drinking water and food, but he also guarded and drove away the wolves and beasts very vigilantly at night, making the mission of the imperial guards relaxed most of the time, and he almost didn't worry about it all the way back.

The sunset quickly sets, and the vast wilderness begins to be silent.

As the bonfires rose and gradually faded, when the stars and moons were everywhere, the mission after traveling for half a month had simply eaten and drank, he fell into a deep sleep.

A simple camp surrounded by wood and thorns, protected Li Shun and several officials' tents, luggage and carriages in the middle. Several bonfires were raised in the southeast, west and northwest. The guards of the imperial guards and the Yuezhi king also spread out around the camp to defend and guard them. Some of them were lying on the spot with weapons, taking turns to watch on duty.

It is already early summer in April. The fields are lush with vegetation and insects chirping in the grass. Occasionally, night birds spread their wings and flapping by. There are also the sounds of small beasts and snakes wandering in the thorny woods around. The dim light of stars and moons makes the night more lonely and quiet.

"Aowu~~"

It was late at night and the camp was peaceful. Even the guards and the Yuezhi people began to doze off, a slight roar of wolves came from all around under the vast night.

"There are packs of wolves!" An imperial guard sat up from the almost extinguished fire.

"Melon Pi, I'm very excited. There is no wolf crying in the past few months. I'll sleep for a while and call me when I change shifts!" An imperial guard next to him, holding a light crossbow muttered and turned over and closed his eyes.

The waves of wolf roars that followed one after another also aroused the alert of Yuezhi guards, but soon the sound of the wolf roar seemed to go away, and everyone slowly relaxed.

Another half an hour passed, and the camp became quieter, and even the Yuezhi guards who were guarding the outermost part began to take a nap in confusion.

When we arrived here, because we were very close to the Qin Dynasty, there was basically no Yuezhi tribe. Only some hunting tribes and patrolling Qin troops would come here occasionally during the day, but they were basically in a three-doubted area, and there was no danger except for wild wolves.

The crescent moon sinks westward, and when it is midnight, it is the most peaceful time for people to sleep. The night gradually becomes dark and enters the darkest moment before dawn.

One mile away from the camp, with the sound of storm, shadows began to appear in the grass and woods in all directions. These people were wearing Qiang people's clothes, holding swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, and slowly surrounded the camp.

A Yuezhi guard who was defending the outside world was shaking and stood up and unbuttoned his pants and peed. He saw something in a trance. Just as he was alert and ready to shout, a sharp arrow tear apart the night sky and shot it on his neck.

The Yuezhi guard's body fell down with a thud as soon as it was weak.

"Who?" The sound of the guard falling alarmed his companions, scolding more than ten figures standing up one after another in the grass.

"Puff puff puff puff puff~~"

Under the dim night, bowstrings sounded from all directions at the same time, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air came. In an instant, several people were caught in the arrow and screamed and fell.

"There is an attack~~"

Accompanied by a shrill cry of pain, the entire camp suddenly became noisy, and countless Yuezhi guards and imperial guards who were resting in lie down were frightened, and what they saw were countless agile figures like wild wolf pounced over from the night.

"￥#@..." Continuous roars came from all directions.

"It's a Qiang person~"

The leader of the Yuezhi yelled, raising his longbow and drawing out a long arrow while shooting.

"The protection envoys in the two villages of A and B, the rest will scatter and attack~" The Imperial Army Captain drew out his long sword and rushed towards the enemy who was rushing towards him.

A sudden attack unfolded in the dark night. With the shimmering light of the charcoal fire after the bonfire was extinguished, the roars of different languages ​​rose one after another in a radius of hundreds of feet.

Arrows broke through the air and the sharp blades tore the flesh. In the midst of the battle, screams and pain mixed together. Blood sprayed in the darkness, one after another, and the strong smell of blood was floating in the camp. The frightened war horses neighed and broke free from the reins and ran towards the wilderness. The entire camp was as panicked as a pot of porridge boiling around.

"Sir, get up quickly, the Qiang people attack the camp~"

Li Shun and several officials who were sleeping in a daze were raised from the sheepskin mattress by the imperial guards and ran out.

But in the darkness, almost nothing can be seen, and only the sound of chopping, fighting and wailing from all directions were heard.

"Qian~ How could the Qiang people attack us?" Li Shun yelled in confusion.

"Sir, I don't know, there are many attackers in the camp, saying Qiang words... Go quickly and go quickly~" The Imperial Army Governor, who was responsible for protecting Li Shun and several other officials, had no time to explain, and repeatedly urged his subordinates to protect Li Shun and others to break open the fence of the camp and run out.

"Puff~~"

An imperial guard in front of him cried and fell to the ground with a painful cry.

"Puff puff puff puff puff~"

The attackers seemed to have noticed the identity of Li Shun and others. With the sound of banging bowstrings, countless sharp arrows tore the air under the dark night. In an instant, the imperial guards who protected Li Shun and others fell into pieces one after another.

"Don't stop, fight out~~" The two imperial guards were wearing iron armor and rushed out with oncoming arrows. Many arrows were shot on the two of them and broke and fell, but one of them still made two muffled groans and then began to shake, and it was obvious that they had been shot.

"Don't rush, lie down quickly. I have the Taiyi Divine Thunder given by the Marquis!"

Although Li Gui was frightened, he was much calmer than the other officials. After all, he participated in the night attack on the Huns' court. He knew that if he was panicked and lost, he would be completely finished.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder~~" a group of imperial guards exclaimed at the same time.

"No, let me down quickly, lie down, and all of them!"

Amid Li Shun's roar, a group of imperial guards quickly lay down in the grass. Li Shun shook his body and touched it several times. Finally, he opened a leather hood around his waist, reached out to pull out a wooden grenade, then shook and pulled out the cork on the wooden handle, grabbed the falling hemp rope and hesitated to the imperial guards' chief beside him and said, "Come on!"

Holding this wooden handle and iron-headed thing, the Imperial Guard almost cried, trembling and shouting: "Sir, do you know how to spell?"

"No spell, just pull this thin rope, wait until there is smoke, and then throw it to the enemy's hiding place!" Li Shun yelled.

"But I don't know how to count~"

"Melon peel, just pull the rope, I will throw it out if I call you!"

"Okay!" The chief of the Imperial Army slept and pulled off the thin rope. Then a faint flame spewed out, and a choking thick smoke suddenly appeared. Under the faint flame, a group of Imperial Army, Li Shun and others could see the green and terrified and twisted cheeks.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven... lost~"

After counting for ten seconds, the Imperial Army Gate Chief suddenly stood up and raised his hand and threw the grenade away into the darkness. He didn't even know where the enemy was or how far he had lost it.

"Sir, why hasn't the divine thunder fall yet?" The chief of the Imperial Army, who had lost the grenade, yelled.

"Gua...Gua Shuang, the Marquis of Qinghe is still in Xianyang. It will take time to release magic so far..." The chief of the Imperial Army, who was caught in two arrows, said with his teeth.

"Boom~~"

Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, a ball of fire suddenly rose into the air more than ten feet away in the darkness. The ground was swaying slightly, and countless gravel, soil and steel bulges splashed around like heavy rain. When the flames rose, you could see a group of figures holding bows and arrows screaming and falling down in the explosion.

"Ah...hahahaha, Qinghehou really released the divine thunder magic spell to save us!" The chief of the Imperial Army who dropped the bomb couldn't help but jump up with a crazy laugh.

In the fierce melee, the sudden explosion shocked everyone's soul three-dimensional. Both the Yuezhi people, the Qiang people and the imperial guards stopped almost at the same time and turned to watch the explosion's location.

"Huacock, why are you still stunned? Protect the adults and rush out!" The injured Tun Chang stood up and shouted with his sword.

"Haha, I'm just running around. There is the Taiyi Divine Thunder of the Marquis of Qinghe. I want to blow these bastards to death. Lord Li, take out all the Taiyi Divine Thunder!" Tun Chang, who dropped the bomb, excitedly lifted Li Shun up and shouted.
