Chapter 817: Dumping the Country
Xiao Shiji drew his sword back, "What is it?" ”
Jieli Khan immediately said: "I give you the treasure accumulated by my Turkic court for thousands of years, just to redeem my life. ”
According to Turkic custom, if a sinner paid for it, he could be freed.
Xiao Shiji smiled, "Even if you don't take the initiative to give it to me, those treasures are also mine." Why should I trade my own things for your life? Am I that stupid? ”
Jieli Khan was scolded by Xiao Shiji and blushed.
"However, I can spare your life, but not for your treasure's sake. - You are a Turkic khan, so I will naturally treat you preferentially. Xiao Shiji said as he ordered his relatives to come over, take Jieli Khan down, and watch him carefully.
Jieli Khan is considered to have surrendered, and of course he has to take it to Chang'an to "sacrifice prisoners".
After Jieli Khan took it away, Xiao Shiji glanced at the crowd kneeling here, and ordered his subordinates: "Take all the people here away!" ”
There were many people up and down the Turkic royal court, but now they were all prisoners, and they were all taken away by Xiao Shiji's sergeants and locked up in several large tents.
Xiao Shiji did not rush to interrogate, but brought another person, carefully searched the Turkic royal court two or three times, and made sure that no one escaped from the royal court, so he swaggered into the royal court with the army.
While they settled, they sent people to keep a close eye on the imprisoned Turks, including princes and nobles like Jieli Khan, and many of them slaves and maids.
Although the two princesses of the former Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to have hanged themselves, Xiao Shiji was a little unconvinced. He had never seen the two princesses look like each other. The two dead people were identified separately by the Turks, and there are also different opinions. Some people say it's Princess Chaoyi and Princess Chaoyang, while others say it's not.
Xiao Shiji also preferred not, but he didn't believe these people's words either, so he came up with an idea to only lock up everyone who was caught from the Turkic royal court.
There were so many men and women, eating, drinking, and lazing all mixed together in two tents.
This kind of treatment is even more unbearable than scolding and torturing them every day.
Siu Shiji's strategy worked. Soon people began to bite each other, denounce each other, and explain various situations, but no one knew the whereabouts of the two princesses.
But it's all things that Xiao Shiji doesn't care about. All he cared about now was when he would catch the two princesses.
He was sure that the two men were not dead. Neither escaped from the royal court. But they were three feet away from digging into the ground, and they could not find where they were hiding.
Xiao Shiji was also ruthless. If he doesn't find them, he just won't leave, so he stays here.
A month later. His own soldiers caught two palace people who suddenly appeared. Wander around the garden digging for something to eat.
I saw Xiao Shiji's men. The two men hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that they were just slaves, hoping that General Xiao would let them go for the poor people. At first they spoke Turkic. Xiao Shiji's personal soldiers couldn't understand it, so they later changed the Central Plains dialect to tell them.
When Brother Yang saw it, he was very suspicious, so he ordered someone to bring them to Xiao Shiji for interrogation. "Where did you get out?" Xiao Shiji was also puzzled. Obviously, up and down the royal court, whether it is princes and nobles, or slaves and servants, they are all enclosed in those two tents by him. How did these two people get out of their tents?
But when I called the tent keeper and asked, I found that no one had escaped, and everyone was in the tent.
Didn't run out of the tent, that is, ran in from the outside?
This royal court was guarded by Xiao Shi and heavy soldiers, and it was impossible for anyone to escape the eyes of so many soldiers and sneak in from the outside.
Not only did he get in, but he also ran into the depths of the royal court......
The more Xiao Shiji thought about it, the more strange it became, and he carefully looked at these two people.
There were two people coming. One man and one woman.
The man seems to be a eunuch, and the woman is a servant.
They bowed to Xiao Shiji, knelt in front of him, wept bitterly hoping that he could raise his noble hand and let them go, and said that they were also ordinary people, and they had been staying here since they married the princess of Heqin to the Turks, and they had never done anything sorry for the Central Plains.
Xiao Shiji squinted his eyes and listened, and suddenly said, "If you can hand over Princess Chaoyi and Princess Chaoyang, I will spare your lives." ”
The servant's head hung lower.
The eunuch thought for a while, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"I swear by my reputation that I will always say what I say." Xiao Shi and Zhengse said.
The eunuch was about to speak, but the servant woman kneeling next to him said angrily: "The surname is Tian, the two princesses treat you well, how can you betray your master for your own life?" ”
Xiao Shiji became interested, and one hand was hooked in his chin, looking at them with interest.
The eunuch clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were about to bulge out, "You call them masters, but they only care about their own lives, have they ever cared about our life and death?" We are human beings and want to live! ”
"Are you still an individual? You're not a man anymore! The servant woman seemed to be aroused, stood up angrily, and said to Xiao Shiji: "General Xiao, the slave doesn't want to beg for ......mercy," she said, turning around and wanting to leave.
Xiao Shiji sneered, "You are a vegetable gardener when I am a general, you can come if you want, and you can leave if you want?!" - Someone! Xiao Shiji shouted angrily.
One of the guards came out of the line with a blank face, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, the servant woman was already in a different place, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The eunuch was so frightened by this scene that his eyes rolled and he fainted completely.
When he woke up, he found that he was still in the room just now, and the headless corpse was still beside him, and he almost rolled his eyes and was about to faint again.
"If you faint again, I'll let you go with her to be a companion." Xiao Shihe said lightly.
The eunuch trembled with fright and forced himself not to faint.
"If you tell me where the two princesses are, I will immediately give you a hundred taels of silver, as well as food and a fast horse, and let the sergeant escort you back to the Central Plains. - If you break your promise, you will be treated as such. Xiao Shiji said. Throw a piece to the ground. The jade pendant snapped to pieces on the ground.
As soon as he came out of the shadow of death just now, he heard the hope of life, and the eunuch's psychological defense completely collapsed. He lay on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Where are the two princesses hiding in the little Zhilu Dao!" The small one will bring the big general over! ”
Do you really know the whereabouts of the two princesses?
Xiao Shiji's eyes flashed, and he suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice, "Take me over?" Why should I believe you? ”
From the moment he heard that these two men had suddenly emerged from the garden in the depths of the royal court, he suspected that there was a hidden person in this royal court that he did not know how to do......
The eunuch's reaction was only to confirm his conjecture. - Follow this vine, you should be able to touch the melon......
Xiao Shiji looked at the eunuch quietly.
"What should I do then?" The eunuch looked up with a look of embarrassment.
"Name the place. Can't say it. Just draw it for me. You've been in this royal court for so many years, you can't even tell this clearly, right? ”
The eunuch had no choice but to take the pen and paper, lie on the ground and draw a road map.
Xiao Shiji picked it up and took a look. It was found that it was supposed to be a place similar to a secret passage in the royal court. I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Can there be people living here?" How long can I stay? ”
And they also stayed in this royal court for about ten days. These two princesses definitely didn't dare to come out, and they had been hiding in the secret passage like rats.
"General, it's not a big place. But it's still easy to live for about a dozen people. The eunuch told the secret, but he was relaxed, and he was not as frightened as he had just been.
"Why didn't you go in with them?" Xiao Shiji gave the picture to his relatives and asked them to act carefully and not to startle the snake.
The eunuch's face fell, "The little one came out to find something to eat." ”
Xiao Shiji nodded, ordered someone to watch the eunuch here, and walked out of the palace by himself.
He returned to the house where he lived, and it didn't take long for him to hear the sound of footsteps knocking and knocking, and it was actually Brother Yang who came over with someone.
He happily said to Xiao Shiji: "Dad, I have caught the two Khatuns of that Khan!" Grandma's, you can really hide. That little place, there is actually everything! But they won't be able to hide for a few days. The water is gone, the food is eaten, and if they hide again, they will all have to crawl out! ”
"Really caught?!" Xiao Shihe put on his robe and stood up happily, "Quickly bring in a question!" Beware of them taking poison and killing themselves! ”
Brother Yang smiled: "I have already given them medicine for paralysis. Even if they wanted to bite their tongues and kill themselves, or bite through some poison hidden in their teeth, they couldn't do it, because they didn't have the strength! Saying that, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, and after laughing, he said: "Actually, they don't want to kill themselves." It's better to die than to live, they want to commit suicide, won't they hang themselves sooner? Why hang ourselves with two substitutes and make us think they're dead? ”
According to common sense, when ordinary people see the two hanged "princesses", they must forget it, even if they know that the Tao is fake, they will not expose it. Because the main Turkic forces were destroyed, and even the khans were captured, who cares where the women who can be returned go? Without Jieli Khan, these two foreign women could still turn flowers in the Turks? - Stop dreaming!
It is important to clean up the corpses of the two people and go back to receive the merit!
And the real two princesses hid in the secret passage safely, and when the army retreated, they would just come out without stopping. — but it's a good strategy.
Who knew that they met Xiao Shiji.
And they didn't know in advance that Xiao Shiji's target was not the Turkic Khan Jieli at all, but the two of them!
It can be said that the Turks suffered this time. The entire Eastern Turks were destroyed because they had these two Keduns from the Central Plains!
They inadvertently became a "beautiful woman" who "captivated the country and the city" without knowing it......
And Xiao Shiji did not break through the city like other armies, looted it, and left with people.
He regarded the Turkic court as a great general, lived here, and while receiving the results of the battle, he sent people to continue to pursue the remnants of the Turkic forces to the west.
The Turkic people, who fled to distant lands, later founded new states, which is a foreign language.
Xiao Shiji lived for a month, forcing Princess Chaoyi and Princess Chaoyang to almost starve to death in the dark passage.
The two eunuchs and servants who secretly came out were the subordinates who were brought into the secret passage by the two princesses, because of the shortage of food, they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, so they secretly ran out to find something to eat.
Following this vine, I finally caught the two big melons of Princess Chaoyi and Princess Chaoyun!
While Xiao Shi and Brother Yang were talking, the guards had already brought the two main masters.
"Take it to the back room. - Ah Yang, you are personally guarding the outside, and you are not allowed to let people get close to half a step. Xiao Shiji commanded.
Brother Yang was very curious, but the military order was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to disobey it, and after personally bringing Princess Chaoyi and Princess Chaoyang in, he covered the door, crossed his waist with one hand, and held his waist knife with the other, standing at the door fiercely.
Inside the room, Xiao Shiji stood on top with his hands behind his back, looking at two old women with pale faces standing in front of him.
Both princesses are in their fifties.
But if it weren't for the suffering in the secret passage for more than a month, they wouldn't be as haggard and old as they looked.
"You two look good." Xiao Shiji smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The two princesses knew that they couldn't escape, but they calmed down, sat down in front of Xiao Shiji generously, and said to him: "You sit too." ”
It's anti-customer-oriented. It's like they're the hosts, and Xiao Shiji is the guests.
Xiao Shiji thought it was funny, but he still sat down as he said and said, "The two of you are so patient. If it weren't for my carefulness, I would have let the two of you escape. ”
Princess Chaoyang sneered and said, "Xiao Zhuguo doesn't need to go around in circles. Don't speak secret words in front of the bright. Tell me, how can you let our sisters go? ”
"How?" Xiao Shiji was surprised, and then thought that the people sent by these two princesses to Chang'an to blackmail Xu Shao were all killed by Xu Shao. The last little maid was killed by herself. They probably didn't know the truth, but they had already learned the whole truth. Now I came here just to find the "evidence" that Xu Shao said......
"Yes, do you want gold and silver treasures, or beautiful cows and sheep? Or horse land? The other old woman, Princess Chaoyi, also asked.
Xiao Shiji shook his head, "These things, I have, are not rare. Besides, do you think you still have the qualifications to talk to me about the conditions? This entire Turkic court is mine, and I still want you to give alms? ”
These are also true.
Princess Chaoyang gritted her teeth and planned to come up with a killer idea.
She said with a smile: "It turns out that these worldly things can no longer touch Xiao Zhuguo's heart. So, what about something else? ”
"What else?" Xiao Shiji asked very leisurely, but in fact, his heart became more and more nervous. He knew that he was about to get closer to the truth......
"Something you can't resist, of course. For example, the truth about your father's murder. Princess Chaoyang said lightly, and she was a little surprised to see that Xiao Shiji seemed indifferent. - That doesn't work?
Princess Chaoyi couldn't hold her breath when she saw Xiao Shihe's faint appearance, and suddenly said, "What if you add your mother-in-law's true identity?" ”
