"Achoo~"
Sitting in the carriage, Li Lin suddenly felt that someone was talking about him.
I couldn't help but sneeze.
Wake yourself up from your sleep.
"Grand Tutor, you're awake?"
"Ah? Zifang, why are you looking at me with such surprise? Is there something strange growing on my face?"
"No, no, no, Grand Tutor, you are joking."
With dark circles under his eyes, Zhang Liang forced a smile and said, "Grand Tutor, you snore like thunder when you sleep. How does Her Highness the Princess sleep so soundly?"
"Snoring like thunder? What? Zifang, do you mean that my snoring is keeping you from sleeping?"
Li Lin looked depressed.
He doesn't usually snore; he only snores when he's extremely tired.
I imagine that traveling by carriage for two months straight must have been quite exhausting.
"Grand Tutor, have you not snored every night these past two months? Yesterday your snoring was so loud, it was like thunder! Zhang Liang almost couldn't hold back and really wanted to slap you across the face a few times!"
Zhang Liang looked pained; the feeling of wanting to sleep but being unable to fall asleep was so intense that he felt like dying.
It's so painful.
After enduring the agonizingly empty-eyed wait until the morning of the second day, Li Lin finally woke up from his sleep, feeling a great sense of relief as his ears were finally at peace.
"Is there?"
He was a little embarrassed, since snoring is unavoidable, and besides, he hardly ever snored at home.
Otherwise, how come Manyin always sleeps so soundly?
Sometimes, when you wake up in the morning, isn't Man Yin sleeping quite well?
It seems that this body has a sense of self.
Knowing that the person sleeping next to her was a smelly man, she deliberately activated her snoring function.
If you sleep with a delicate young lady, she won't snore; then you'll be setting off firecrackers.
"Oh dear! I..."
At this moment, Zhang Liang wished he could jump up and kill him!
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. As for the snoring, let's put it aside for now. I need to get some fresh air. Staying in the carriage with a burly man like you every day is driving me crazy!"
Li Lin cursed as he lifted the carriage curtain.
He went outside.
Zhang Liang was left inside the carriage, looking aggrieved.
Angrily, he wrapped himself in the blanket and went to sleep.
"Your Excellency, why did you come out? It's windy outside; you might catch a cold!"
"It's alright, how far are we from the Great Wall now?"
"It's about a day or two's journey."
"Oh? It's still a day or two's journey? Is there a shortcut? Let's take the shortcut directly!"
"Ah? A shortcut? There is one, but if the Huns are around, it might be dangerous!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I know there are Xiongnu people around here, but how many Xiongnu can we possibly encounter inside the Great Wall? At most, a few dozen scouts. What's there to be afraid of? We have several hundred men!"
"All right!"
The coachman reluctantly changed the route.
Of course, he didn't know that Li Lin's mouth was blessed.
We just changed our route, venturing into the mountain path from the fork in the road. It took us more than an hour to cross a mountain, and now we were only a few dozen miles away from the wide city wall.
at this time.
Suddenly, the earthquake shook the mountains.
"What happened?"
"My lord, I have no idea! Could it be that an earth dragon has stirred up trouble?"
"Report, Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! A large army of unknown forces has appeared ahead!"
"Is he one of General Meng Tian's men?"
"No, we raised our flags, but the other side didn't respond!"
"Oh no, those must be the Xiongnu!"
Li Lin was startled and hurriedly told the coachman to turn around and retreat.
"Oh dear, Your Excellency, it was easy for us to come here; it's a bald mountain. But going back is not so easy. The east side is high, and the west side is low. It's easier to walk from the west side, but from the east side, it's too slippery. We were so fast coming down, but now it's so slow to climb over!"
The coachman immediately complained.
He's really starting to regret it now; he should have just stayed on the official road.
Where would something like this happen?
"Da da da..."
The speed of a warhorse is far beyond what a carriage can match.
Before long, the Xiongnu cavalry had completely surrounded them.
"Your Excellency, what should we do?"
"Don't panic, everyone. They're just a bunch of Xiongnu cavalry. We're currently positioned inside the Great Wall. Even if they've taken a long route to launch a surprise attack, they can't stay for long. As long as we stay calm, they're the ones who should be panicking!"
Who are you?
As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, he heard a perfect Mandarin accent.
Moreover, it's the Mandarin spoken in Xianyang, no, it's the Mandarin spoken throughout the entire Guanzhong region.
Who are you?
Li Lin stepped forward without hesitation, calmly looking at the group of fierce-looking Huns carrying bows and arrows.
"I am Luandi Honglie, the Righteous King of Gui'an of the Xiongnu!"
"Luan Di Hong Lie?"
"That's right, who are you people? Where did you come from? Why did you retreat when you saw us?"
Li Lin fell into deep thought.
He did not directly answer the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked like a person from the Central Plains but whose clothes were no different from those of the Xiongnu.
Luotang's.
It sounds familiar.
