Chapter 269: Quid pro quo
In the middle of the night, Yin Rui personally led his subordinates to infiltrate the unsuspecting cult.
They succeeded in seizing the guard post guarding the gate, allowing a large number of officers and soldiers to take advantage of the situation.
"Hehe, this evil king is not enough, now our army is overwhelmed, see how they resist." The little general smirked.
But this qiē came too easily, Yin Rui and Ouyang Deyuan glanced at each other, and their faces were filled with uneasiness and doubt.
It is impossible to take down the Cult so easily...... But now that everybody is in, what are they going to do?
Suddenly, the gates on all sides clicked shut.
Flames were lit in all directions, and the fire approached Yinrui's army, and for a moment, the horses were startled and the people fell.
Only then did everyone see that the people in the Cult were standing outside the city, and they laughed and looked at Yinrui's group of people like turtles in an urn, with nowhere to escape.
Yin Rui was shocked: "Oops, we are besieged in this empty city, but ...... They...... How did they get out? ”
Ouyang Deyuan's face was pale, he understood everything.
"Secret Passage, there must be countless similar secret passages under this evil cult, they deliberately put us into the city, and then attack with fire, so that they can easily defeat us in one fell swoop."
The evil king stood at the commanding heights outside the city and looked at the panicked Yin Rui, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Fetch a bow and arrows." He said to Xuan.
Hyun respectfully handed over a longbow and a bag of arrows.
The evil king took out a feathered arrow and aimed it at Yin Rui and drew his bow. With a bang, the feather arrows galloped away like the wind.
Yin Rui saw that the arrow was shooting directly at him, and hurriedly wanted to dodge, but its speed was too fast, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
His heart was about to stop, and the arrow was coming straight to his heart.
With a bang, Ouyang Deyuan's long sword had already blocked the feather arrow.
The little general's face turned pale with fright just now, fortunately Ouyang Deyuan was here, otherwise if something happened to His Royal Highness the Prince, he would be all over the house.
Ouyang Deyuan shouted at the evil king.
"We have no intention of grudging against you. Give us back the meat buns. I promise that the Imperial Court will never pursue this matter. ”
Yin Rui's face was crimson, not frightened, but angry.
He had already seen that the evil king did not want to kill himself, but only wanted to sue himself. With his current power, he wants to confront him. That's hitting a stone with an egg.
"The Evil King. As long as you are willing to return the meat buns to us, I will ask the emperor to grant the Great Khan of the Western Regions the peace he wants. ”
Yin Rui had long known that the Great Khan of the Western Regions, Yeluse, had sent an envoy a few days ago, hoping that the emperor would send a princess to marry to the Western Regions. In order to consolidate the power of Yelu Semu among the vassal kings of the various Western Regions.
The emperor was worried that Yelu Se's power was getting bigger and bigger, and one day he would covet the land of the Central Plains, so he sternly rejected the envoy's request.
And the evil king is the second son of this Yelu Semu, and now as long as he is willing to exchange the meat buns back, Yin Rui is willing to contribute to this major event of the royal family in the Western Regions.
Sure enough, the evil king hesitated.
It is undeniable that Yinrui's conditions are very tempting, making it difficult for him to refuse.
But it was not easy for Rou Baozi to agree to leave the Central Plains with him, and he gave up like this, he was really unwilling.
But the matter of harmony is too important for the Yelu royal family, and he understands that this matter cannot be done without Yinrui's involvement.
He was hesitating when Gen spoke.
"Wang ...... Returning the saintess to them this time doesn't mean that you can't get close to the saints in the future, if the saints have the heart to leave with us, then we will still have a chance in the future, as long as we stay in the Central Plains for a while......" Xuan persuaded and explained.
It took a long time for the evil king to nod.
"Put out the fire, go into the city, I'm going to talk to them." The Evil King said.
"Yes......" Xuan replied softly.
Ouyang Deyuan, Yin Rui and the Evil King sat opposite each other.
"Are you sure to persuade the emperor to agree to make peace?" The Evil King spoke.
There was some distrust in that tone.
Yin Rui smiled faintly: "I can, but in addition to the meat buns you let go, you have to promise me one thing." ”
Xuan couldn't help but step forward and said, "You...... You don't want to get an inch. ”
Ouyang Deyuan sneered: "It was you who first grabbed the meat buns in Ouyang Mansion, and now you still have the face to say that we have to make inches?" ”
Xuan was immediately choked and silent.
"Evil King, my conditions are also very simple, as long as you are willing to personally escort our princess to the Western Regions and protect her safety all the way, can't you agree to this?" Yin Rui looked at the evil king seriously and said.
This request is indeed reasonable, and the evil king has no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I promise you, no matter which princess you choose, I will personally escort you."
Ouyang Deyuan didn't care about this, he only cared about meat buns.
"Now you can tell me where the meat buns are, right? I'm going to see her right away. "He still has a stomach for talking to her.
The evil king knew that Ouyang Deyuan wanted to explain that he and Caiju shared a bed.
He didn't know that the good scene was carefully arranged by the evil king and the meat buns.
"You want to see her...... She may not want to see you, I can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet her first. The Evil King said lightly.
Yin Rui stood up happily.
"Okay, okay, where is she, take me to see her right away."
Xuan turned around and said, "Please follow me." ”
Ouyang Deyuan also wanted to go, but was blocked by Wu and Xiao.
"Ouyang Gongzi, you can stay here and rest for a while."
Ouyang Deyuan was full of resentment at the moment, but he was also helpless.
I have heard about the farce just now, and the evil king and Yin Rui have reached the conditions of reconciliation.
That is to give them back in exchange for a princess who is close to her to go to the Western Regions.
I wrote a letter on the dresser with my veil covered.
Then he whistled out the window.
The blood parrot Xiao Qifeng heard the familiar whistle and hurriedly flew to my side.
"I'm leaving, I'm here to say goodbye to you, the red dragon is a good bird, you just follow it, and we'll meet again."
After I finished speaking to the Blood Parrot, I grabbed a small package and hurried towards the outer wall of the Cult.
Xiao Qifeng watched the meat bun go over the wall, and it circled twice in the air.
I've been struggling to be a red dragon? Want a master? Want a red dragon? Want a master?
In the end, it was ruthless and wanted its master!
Goodbye Red Dragon...... I will always remember how good you were to me.
It flew quickly towards the figure of the meat bun.
I was galloping on a tall horse that I had prepared, when I suddenly heard a few sharp bird calls, and when I looked up, I saw a small bright red figure flying above me.
I smiled movingly: "Stupid bird, you still want to follow me." ”
Xiao Qifeng chirped a few more times, which means that the owner of the second goods, I have a name, my name is Qifeng, and you are not allowed to call me a stupid bird anymore.
But where can I understand this bird language?
Yin Rui followed Xuan to the room where the meat bun lived, but it was already empty.
Only a letter remained on the dresser.
It reads: A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, the body to the side of the pass, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night. The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown cannot be realized, and there is no sound in the old garden.
After putting down the letter, Yin Rui was stunned, and came over for a while before he came to his senses.
"Meat buns, she's gone? Where did she go? Tell me where she's gone!" He grabbed Hyun by the collar and asked loudly.
Xuan was also stupid, he didn't expect the Holy Maiden to disappear at all.
It's really bad this time, how can I explain it to the evil king......
