017, the past
It is impossible for Hu Lilie to stay here all the time, if it weren't for Chi Rui's accident, they might have returned to the grassland long ago. With Kurilie's temperament, he would definitely make some preparations before returning.
As Nalan Mu expected, after Kurili left the inn, he went directly to Tahak's territory, Chi Rui was taken away by them, and Kurili came here to ask why Wan Qi couldn't die, and secondly, to bring Chi Rui back.
When Tahak saw him, he greeted him very warmly: "I didn't expect you to find this place, I said that I will not change if I am loyal to you, and you can rest assured that our loyalty to the Jinwu clan will never change." ”
Naturally, Kurilie would not suspect him, and the purpose of his coming here was not to make them show loyalty. He looked into Tahak's sincere eyes and asked, "Is there any special reason why you said in the morning that you couldn't kill Wan Qiqi?" ”
If you really want to say the special reason, it is also that they once received the favor of Wan Qi beggar back then, this is not something unspeakable, he didn't say it in the grassland at that time, it was because Chi Rui was present, and now since Hu Lilie asked, he no longer concealed it, and told the story of an unknown life-and-death struggle that happened on Qi Na Mountain three years ago.
Three years ago, the battle of Qi Nashan not only caused a sensation in the entire grassland, but also in the entire Southern Han Dynasty.
Almost everyone knows the heroic deeds of the young and frivolous eighteen forbidden troops galloping across the grassland. But the day after the good news was issued, when all the Southern Han people were about to celebrate this great news, there was a sudden bad news, and the emperor was furious.
Eighteen young geniuses he personally cultivated all died in Qi Na Mountain!
Since then, Qi Na Mountain has become a mountain peak that no one can cross, and the mountains where the corpses are buried in thousands of fields have become a hurdle that cannot be crossed in the hearts of the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is also a nightmare for those who desperately walked out of a way of life.
As Tahak's low but mournful voice landed, Kurilie couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Many people must have heard of that battle, but he accompanied his father Khan to conquer the northwest and was not able to participate in it personally, so the news he learned was heard from the few people who survived that battle.
How can those people compare with Tahak, and the information they say is not as shocking as Tahak's mouth!
Hu Lilie was silent for a while, then turned his head slightly, looking at the man sitting opposite, his gaze was distant and trance-like, and he was hit by a layer of dark shadows by the light of the grassland separated by a wall, what was the floating light hidden under the shadow?
Swords and swords or bones?
Hu Lilie did not say a word, and left very quietly.
When he returned to the inn, he went to find Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi is just an innkeeper, but he was able to save Tahak and others in the sudden battle to the death three years ago, which shows that he is not only very good at seeing the opportunity, but also has a certain skill.
Moreover, he has been operating here for many years and has a wealth in his hands, which is also a very rare person for him.
At this time, Kurilie had completely given up his determination to kill him.
Wan Qiqi was still in the general room on the first floor, because he had just been seriously injured, and even though Nalan Mu had cleaned and bandaged his wounds in every place very carefully and carefully, his face was still pale and weak.
Standing in front of the bed, the raft bed was very small, only enough to accommodate one person, Wan Qi was as fat as the sea, taking up all the space, Hu Lilie glanced around, picked up a low oil stool, and sat down.
The room was quiet, only Wan Qiqi's unsteady breathing was faintly undulating.
Suddenly, Li Lie lowered his eyes to look at him, and saw his fingers hanging on the edge of the bed slightly curled, so he smiled and said, "Don't pretend, I won't kill you now." Since we haven't slept, let's talk about a deal. ”
Hearing Hu Lilie say the word "don't kill", Wan Qi's eyes suddenly opened, he looked sideways, there was doubt in his eyes, he opened his mouth hoarsely, and asked, "What deal?" ”
What is the deal? Power-for-money trading.
Suddenly, Lilie leaned over, took out the dagger and threw it on him, and said lightly: "Look carefully, and talk about it after reading." ”
Wan Qi begged for inconvenience, but he still bent his body and picked up the dagger.
He was very curious about this dagger that day, how old is he this year? Forty-three years old, thirty years after opening the store, what kind of dirt and treasures have not been seen? But the dagger was a treasure he had never seen before.
How can you not be curious?
Wan Qiqi took the dagger and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became!
Ruby with gold dagger, the vast grassland, dare to wear this kind of dagger, very few. The dagger was pulled up, and the first thing that caught his eye was the dazzling lettering, Jin Wushi-
Kim Oo's!
Wan Qiqi's hand holding the dagger shook violently, his body trembled rapidly, and his breathing began to be difficult in an instant. He has always thought that his eyes are vicious and he looks at people accurately, but he didn't expect that the person who saw the wrong person for the first time would actually ......
"Looks like you know the dagger." Seeing his reaction, he picked up a dagger from the bed and locked it around his waist.
Wan Qiqi held on to the edge of the bed with both hands, slowly propped up his body a little more, leaned against the cold stone wall, nodded at Hu Lilie, and suddenly thought that he had saved Jin Wu Nau's subordinates, and the fear in his heart relaxed a little.
He looked at Kulilie and asked weakly, "Are you a descendant of the Jin Wu clan?" ”
Kim Ushi Nau has passed away, and the dagger that once belonged to him appeared on this young man, and he dared to take it out so blatantly, he must have confidence in his heart.
It wasn't stolen, then, the dagger should have belonged to him in the first place.
Kulilie didn't pretend to be deep, went around in circles, and said directly: "Well, Jin Wushi Kulilie, I will use this identity to make a deal with you today." ”
Although Wan Qiqi probably guessed his identity, he didn't expect that he would be the eldest grandson of the Jin Wu clan Nau, and he couldn't help but become more and more apprehensive and respectful: "Please speak." ”
Hu Lilie said three points.
First: Wan Qi begged to provide silver money for Kulilie's intensive troops.
Second: Kulilie promised to provide a prosperous life and a certain political status after taking the Golden Horde.
Third: No matter what happens in the future, each must not betray the other.
In fact, these three requirements are not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say simple.
For Wan Qiqi, he is a businessman, and what he values is profit, so naturally in addition to his life, what he cares about most is his property. He has been lonely since he was a child, without a father and a mother, and he has worked hard to survive in this dark grassland, crawling and crawling, so that he has this inn that no one can crush now.
Now, with only three demands from Kulilie, he will give up his inheritance and go with him to the east and west. For him, it's like a blind man walking at night, looking at a lamp with a blind eye, and the road ahead is unknown.
