Chapter 1461

When he couldn't dismount on his own, it was still that same figure, holding his wrist and helping him down from the warhorse.

When he was sick, lying in the yurt, when he fell off his horse, when he was wounded on the battlefield and couldn't move.

Even when he couldn't open his eyes, there was a pair of rough, large hands holding his hand and wrist.

Yu Fuluo gritted his teeth and shook his head forcefully.

It seemed as if he wanted to shake all the memories emerging in his mind out of his head.

He picked up a rag from the table and wiped the bloodstain on his wrist with force.

"It's not my fault, it's not my fault..."

"This is not my fault, not my fault..."

Yu Fuluo muttered to himself repeatedly while wiping the bloodstain on his wrist.

"Great Chanyu..."

The voice of Xubuguduhou came from outside the yurt, making Yu Fuluo freeze.

Yu Fuluo scrambled up, picked up his crutch, and walked toward the outside of the yurt; when he stood at the door, he even straightened his armor.

Xubuguduhou stood outside the yurt and saw Yu Fuluo coming out.

"My father said he was a bit tired and has already rested. If Xubuguduhou has anything to say, you can tell me."

Yu Fuluo tried to calm his emotions as he looked at Xubuguduhou, who was standing in front of the yurt.

Xubuguduhou, who had his right hand on his chest and his head lowered, raised his head slightly, glanced at the yurt from behind Yu Fuluo, and then lowered his head again.

"Since the Great Chanyu is asleep, then I will not disturb the Right Worthy Prince."

After saying this, Xubuguduhou took three steps back and turned to leave.

Yu Fuluo glanced at the guards he had brought with him; among them was a person wrapped in a black robe, standing among the guards, with a slightly thin build.

After Yu Fuluo's gaze passed over, this person slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of cunning eyes.

Yu Fuluo took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

Seeing Yu Fuluo nod, a smile also appeared on Guo Tu's face.

In the distance, Xubuguduhou, who had left after Chanyu Qiangqu, was followed by four guards as they walked toward the camp in the distance.

The composition of the Xiongnu was not the same as that of the Han.

It seemed that tens of thousands of troops were under the command of the Chanyu, but this was only on the surface.

The Xiongnu were basically a nation in arms; except for the Royal Tent Cavalry of the Chanyu's tribe, which was a standing army, the vast majority were tribal herdsmen, and they would only be gathered into an army by tribal leaders during wartime.

They brought their own horses, weapons, and armor.

Therefore, the Xiongnu's tens of thousands of troops were divided into tribal forms.

The tribal herdsmen listened to the orders of their leaders, and the leaders listened to the orders of the Chanyu.

There were also tribes whose power was relatively strong, such as the tribe of Xubuguduhou.

Xubu was a surname, and it was also one of the most noble surnames of the Xiongnu.

During the Xin Dynasty, the Xubu clan had long held the position of Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu.

Xubuguduhou's ancestor, Xubu Dang, held the position of Right Gudu Marquis during the Xin Dynasty; Xubu Dang was the husband of Yimo Juci Yun, the eldest daughter of Wang Zhaojun and Fuzhulei Ruodi Chanyu.

In the first year of Jianyuan, the Southern Xiongnu leader Huhanye Chanyu came to court for the third time and requested to be a son-in-law; Emperor Yuan of Han bestowed Wang Zhaojun upon the Chanyu.

In the second year of Jianshi, Huhanye Chanyu passed away, and Wang Zhaojun petitioned the Han court to return; Emperor Cheng of Han decreed to "follow the Hu customs," and according to the levirate marriage system of nomadic peoples, she remarried Huhanye Chanyu's eldest son, Fuzhulei Ruodi Chanyu. The two lived together for eleven years and had two daughters; the eldest daughter was named Xubu Juci, and the second daughter was named Dangyu Juci.

During the Xin Dynasty, because Xubu Dang and Xubu Juci were close to the Han, they were appointed as Xiongnu Chanyu by Wang Mang, and since then, the Xiongnu and the Han lived in peace for sixty years.

To a certain extent, the bloodline that continued to Xubuguduhou also had a thin Han bloodline.

Walking on the way back to the camp, Xubuguduhou kept his head down, frowning, and did not say a word.

At the desk with an oil lamp lit, Xubuguduhou took out a piece of white paper and brush and ink from a small locked box to the side.

He then began to write on the white paper.

After writing, Xubuguduhou blew the ink dry on the white paper and then called for a personal guard.

"You take this letter and this to Jinyang; be careful along the way and do not make any mistakes."

Xubuguduhou said, handing the letter and a copper token to his personal guard.

The copper token had a spiderweb-like relief design on the front, and on the back was a strange weapon, which looked like a black iron rod.

The intricate patterns and craftsmanship on the token did not look like something produced by the Xiongnu at first glance.

After receiving the secret letter and the token, the guard bowed to Xubuguduhou and then exited Xubuguduhou's yurt.

PS: Let me mention something; I've wanted to say it for a long time but always forgot. I just remembered it now. For those who listen to the book, this book has already been adapted into a live-action audio version. Those who listen to the book can go check it out.

Also, *ying ying ying*, I'm still asking for charging, charging...
