The palace is deep and quiet, and there are lights in the palace, reflecting the hall.

Under the throne of King Han, Zhang Liang told King Han everything he saw and heard while accompanying Touman today.

Touman, the leader of the Huns, is not well-known in Korea. Even among Korean civil and military officials, his awareness is very low.

South Korea is in the middle of the world. Although it faces threats from all directions, there is one advantage, that is, the influence of the barbarians is really limited and almost non-existent.

How about the Xiongnu, whether they are strong or weak, it is Qin, Zhao, or even Yan that should worry, not South Korea.

At most, ministers related to South Korea's diplomatic situation will study the Xiongnu's ability to contain the military power of Qin and Zhao.

King Han knew that Touman was a powerful leader and the wolf lord among the Huns. However, after listening to Zhang Liang's report, King Han was still angry.

The bet was a thousand war horses, but only fifty horses were given as tribute. Are you treating me like a beggar?

However, it was not easy for King Han to have an attack in front of Zhang Liang, a junior.

The Zhang family has been the prime minister for generations, and even though the King of Han is weak, he still knows that the legitimate son of the Zhang family will become a pillar in the future.

"How are they going to fight?"

"Archery competition!"

Zhang Liang cupped his hands and spoke slowly.

Although Zhang Liang's words were not sonorous, they were very clear. When they reached King Han's ears, King Han was a little surprised.

Competing archery with the Huns?

South Korea produces powerful crossbows. Compared with bows, crossbows have wider applicability because archers are more difficult to train than crossbowmen.

Generally speaking, training archers in armies of various countries takes a long time and is expensive. Sometimes, the army temporarily recruits mountain people to join the army.

These mountain people have made a living by hunting for generations. They have been using bows since childhood and have natural training, just like the Huns who grew up on horseback.

These people are valuable military resources.

If a crossbow is thrown on the ground, an ordinary citizen will be able to use it after a few days of fumbling. But if a bow is thrown on the ground, it will be difficult for ordinary people to cause effective damage.

Ordinary people do not have this power or perception, which makes the lethality and accuracy of bows the same as crossbows.

What's more, among the army, the biggest advantages of archers compared to crossbowmen are their rate of fire and continuous output ability.

Of course, in advance, the archers in the army are well-trained and capable of completing the tactical requirements assigned by the generals.

The Huns were good at riding and shooting, but their craftsmanship was far inferior to that of the Chinese.

But this problem did not exist for Touman, the leader of the Huns. It is impossible for the Mohist general to gain obvious advantages in equipment compared to the Xiongnu army like the armies of other countries.

"I understand. I need to follow up on this matter."

"promise!"

When Zhang Liang left, King Han sat in his seat, thinking about what impact this matter would have.

The King of Han was wary of the power of the Mohist leader, especially his relationship with the Qin army.

However, the Mohist leader was quite restrained and did not allow the Mohist power to expand rapidly in South Korea, and always maintained a fairly small scale.

The leader of the Mohist family seemed to have no ambitions, just like what he did in Baiyue, infiltrating the Mohist family's influence into the Korean court.

But in King Han's heart, this could not relieve his guard against this mysterious and dangerous person.

On the contrary, he was even more doubtful.

Finally, King Han slapped the table with his hand, and the sound of dissatisfaction filled the palace.

"A thousand war horses is too much to bully someone!"

In the cold woods, a gloomy man stood next to an ancient tree, playing with a spider between his fingers.

"A descendant of the Moon Wolf?"

There is a spy under Zhao Gao's command who is kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, Touman, the leader of the Xiongnu, is competing with the Mohist leader. The bet is a thousand war horses and the descendants of the Moon Wolf. But my subordinates have not found out yet, who is the descendant of the Moon Wolf?"

"I know, let's get down!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand and the spy fled away. A vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Gao's ears.

A swordsman, holding a sword, appeared next to Zhao Gao. This swordsman looked ordinary, dressed in ragged cloth, and the sword in his hand was just an ordinary iron sword.

"What is the descendant of the Moon Wolf?"

"It is a tribe of barbarians. According to classic records, the barbarians of this tribe are extremely good at taming animals and making poison."

Zhao Gao has a humble status, but he has knowledge that does not match his status.

"Really? It can be worth a thousand war horses. This Hu tribe must be very important to Touman."

Zhao Gao disapproved and smiled contemptuously.

"Famous swords can kill, and the sword in your hand can also kill. As long as you use it properly, there is no difference. No matter how huge and terrifying things are, as long as the timing is right, even the humblest things can be destroyed."

The swordsman disagreed with Zhao Gao's words. He had a strong attachment to famous swords.

"Of course it's different. I hold an iron sword in my hand just because I haven't found a suitable famous sword yet. Do you think I am willing to hold this iron sword all the time?"

"Don't worry, I will let you get the water cutoff sooner or later."

Zhao Gao's words were filled with incomparable confidence.

"The descendant of Moon Wolf finally found the connection point between Lord Hanyang and the leader of the Moh family."

When the dark night falls, it is a unique experience to overlook the entire Xinzheng from the mountains.

The majestic city sits among the mountains, with little gleams of light shining in the darkness, which is extremely strange.

"My lord, I have found out clearly that Touman is mobilizing fifty eagle shooters to prepare for a battle with my lord."

Zhao Shuang smiled. Although this Touman spoke very boldly, he was cunning and well prepared.

The eagle shooters were elite Xiongnu warriors with unparalleled archery skills. Touman dared to bring the caravan from far away because of this strength.

On the contrary, it must be a fierce battle.

But what Zhao Shuang is worried about is the descendant of Moon Wolf in the distance.

The descendants of Moon Wolf are recuperating in the Northland, a vast land with few people. The place where they live is a horse farm under Zhao Shuang, with a large amount of ownerless land around it.

Because this racecourse is on the border and outside the Great Wall, it is not under the protection of the Qin army, so it is very risky.

In fact, before Zhao Shuang took over, the previous owners of this racecourse had been robbed several times by the barbarians and suffered heavy losses.

But after the descendants of the Moon Wolf took control, the situation changed.

The Qin people don't understand the Hu people's operations, how can the Hu people still not understand?

After the descendants of Moon Wolf used various means to deal with the barbarians who came to cause trouble, Zhao Shuang's horse farm achieved stable development.

However, after Touman exposes this name to the world, the descendant of the Moon Wolf will definitely attract the attention of interested people.

Compared to the threat from the Xiongnu, Zhao Shuang was more worried about the hostility within Qin.

There was a rumble, and a thunder struck. Zhao Shuang looked up and saw thick clouds rolling in the night.

"That's going to change today."
