Tun Desire Valley and Ashina Jingliu followed the soldiers into the big account, and Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong greeted them politely.

Tun Desire Valley saluted Li Quanzhong and said: "The Great Turkic State Tutun Tun Desire Valley has seen the Khitan chief! ”

"Lord Tutun is polite!" Li Qianzhong returned the salute, glanced at the person with a bronze mask next to Tun Desire, and asked Tun Desire, "I don't know what this is......"

"Oh!" Tunyugu hurriedly introduced to Li Qianzhong, "He is the national teacher of the Great Turkic State, Ashina Jingliu!" ”

Li Qianzhong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "It turned out to be the Ashina Palace Master of the Holy Water Palace!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

Obviously, Li Qianzhong had heard of Ashina Jingliu, and it seemed that the name of the palace master of the Holy Water Palace was far louder than that of the Turkic national teacher.

Li Qianzhong introduced Sun Wanrong to the other party, and several people sat down with each other after greeting each other.

After the next person served the milk tea, Li Qianzhong asked tentatively: "I don't know what Lord Tutun has to teach when he comes to Songmo this time?" ”

Tunyugu did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "We Mosi Khan heard that the Khitan tribe has suffered a natural disaster, and we have been specially sent to negotiate with the leader about receiving the Khitan, so as to help you tide over the difficulties. ”

Li Qianzhong asked quietly: "I wonder how the Silent Khan will help us get through the difficulties?" ”

"As long as the leader agrees, we will bring pasture and grain from the Turks to the Khitan as soon as possible to ensure that you can survive the disaster year!" ”

When Sun Wanrong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to admit it, but when he saw Li Qianzhong's fierce gaze shooting at him, he had to swallow the words into his stomach again.

"This dare is good" Li Qianzhong smiled slightly, "As the saying goes, pie will not fall from the sky, and the Turks will not help us for no reason!" Lord Tutun, just say it directly, if we accept your help, what does the Khitan need to pay? ”

Li Qianzhong's question was very direct, and his caution had long been expected by Lust Valley.

Tun Yugu said lightly: "Actually, don't pay anything, as long as an alliance is made between the Turks and the Khitan to ensure that they advance and retreat together in the future." In this way, it is good for both Turkic and Khitan! ”

Li Qianzhong did not speak.

Tun Desire Gu took out two things from his arms and put them on the desk in front of Li Quanzhong: "This is an ancient jade deer, given to the leader today, it should be a meeting gift." In addition, there are 20,000 taels of silver tickets here, which can be exchanged for cash in the silver village in Yingzhou City, the chief, please accept it, buy some food first, and count it as a piece of our heart! ”

Li Quanzhong pushed the two things in front of him again, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Tutun, please tell the Mosi Khan, we understand his kindness, since the Khitan has belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the disaster relief can only be solved by the Great Zhou Court, so don't bother the Mosi Khan!" ”

In response to Li Qianzhong's refusal, Tunyugu did not express the slightest surprise.

He smiled and said, "As far as I know, Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou, is not enthusiastic about disaster relief and has been prevaricating. And I also know that all the Khitan grain stocks can't last even a month, and if you don't accept the help of the Great Turkic State, what will you do after a month? I hope the leader can take the test

Think clearly! ”

After listening to Tun Desire's words, Li Qianzhong felt even more worried, but he still rejected Tun Desire's suggestion: "Forgive me for not being able to accept your help!" That's the end of it! Lord Tutun, since you have come to the Khitan, you are the distinguished guests of the Khitan. The Khitan has always been hospitable, Lord Tutun will stay first, tonight I will set up a banquet for Lord Tutun to catch the wind! ”

After that, Li Quanzhong instructed Sun Wanrong again: "Brother Wanrong, you go to settle Lord Tutun and his party for me, you must be polite and thorough, and you must not slack off your guests!" ”

Sun Wanrong nodded: "Don't worry, chief, I'll arrange it!" ”

"Two distinguished guests, please!" Sun Wanrong got up and warmly invited Tunyugu and Ashina to compete.

Tun Desire Valley had no choice but to say goodbye to Li Qianzhong, and followed Sun Wanrong to leave the big tent with Ashina.

On the way to his residence, Tun Desire Valley intentionally or unintentionally tested Sun Wanrong: "Chief Sun, the Great Zhou Imperial Court has never been credible, how can it be like our grassland tribes will count as long as they say it, how can you Leader Li believe in the Great Zhou Imperial Court so much?" ”

Sun Wanrong nodded slightly, but did not answer.

Tun Desire Valley then said: "Zhao Wenhui's reluctance to help the Khitan tide over the difficulties is obviously instructed by their Great Zhou court. Think about it, how dare he, the governor of a battalion and state, repeatedly prevaricate for such a big matter? Leader Li refused to accept the help of the Turks, or in a month, the Khitans would be unlucky, and I don't know what he thought! ”

Speaking of this, Tun Yugu sighed and stopped talking, but secretly peeked at Sun Wanrong.

Because of Li Qianzhong's explanation, Sun Wanrong did not speak along the way.

At this time, he finally couldn't help it, and said: "Lord Tutun, I deeply agree with what you said, our leader just trusts the Great Zhou Imperial Court too much. I'll persuade him later, I think it's a good thing for the Khitan and the Turks to cooperate, since the Great Zhou court doesn't care about our Khitan, then we can't wait for death, we have to find a way to get through it! ”

A smile appeared on Tun Desire's face, and he stretched out his thumb to Sun Wanrong: "I didn't expect that there are such sensible people as Chief Sun in the Khitan, I believe that as long as Chief Sun is here, your Khitan will definitely be saved in the future!" ”

Speaking of this, Tun Desire Valley took out the jade deer and the silver ticket from his arms again, and handed it to Sun Wanrong: "What I said just now is from the bottom of my heart, if Chief Sun can trust me Tun Desire Valley, then please accept it, I hope you can do your best to promote cooperation between the Turks and the Khitan!" ”

Sun Wanrong was also polite, he took it generously, and then nodded: "Lord Tutun, you just wait for my good news!" ”

After settling down and settling down with the Lust Valley, Sun Wanrong returned to the big tent again.

Li Qianzhong frowned, looking down and thinking about something.

Seeing Sun Wanrong coming in, Li Qianzhong raised his head and asked casually, "Are you all settled?" ”

"It's all settled!" Sun Wanrong nodded.

Li Qianzhong sighed and said: "Although we rejected the Turks' request, we still have to do a good job in terms of face, so as not to leave them with any truth!" ”

Sun Wanrong

Glancing at Li Qianzhong, he said cautiously: "Chief, I think there is some truth in what Lust Valley said, since the Great Zhou Imperial Court doesn't care about us, we can't wait to starve to death?" You might as well agree to the Turks' terms first, wait until the food is brought to solve the immediate need, and talk about it later! ”

Li Qianzhong glanced at Sun Wanrong: "What kind of kindness do you think the Turks have helped us?" Is their food so easy to take? Take other people's hands short, eat other people's mouth short. Once we have accepted the terms of the Turks, we will have to obey them henceforth. If they let us go to war with the Great Zhou, you say that we will never obey or not. If we really reach that situation, I'm afraid that our Khitan will never recover. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qianzhong suddenly stopped and looked at Sun Wanrong suspiciously: "Brother Wanrong, you won't have promised the Turks anything, right?" ”

"How can it!" Sun Wanrong hurriedly said, "Without your words, how dare I promise them anything?" ”

"It's good if you don't have it!" Sun Wanrong said stupidly, "I can warn you, you just serve them with good food and drink, and don't have anything to do with them!" ”

"Chief, don't worry, I know the severity!"

Coming out of Li Qianzhong's big tent, Sun Wanrong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

……

On the barren grassland, two horses galloped one after the other, and from time to time the sound of the rider's driving could be heard.

After a while, the horses slowed down, and then slowly came together.

The horsewhip in Li Weihuo's hand flicked at will, and his thoughts didn't know where he had flown to.

Li Kaigu glanced at Li Lost Life, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are you absent-minded, what do you think?" As the most courageous general under Li Qianzhong, Li Kaigu is also one of the chiefs of the eight Khitan tribes. is different from Sun Wanrong, Li Kaigu is low-key on weekdays, and he is also respectful to the leader Li Quanzhong.

Li Kai has three daughters, but no sons. Li lost life because he grew up watching him when he was a child, and because of this, he treated Li lost life as his own and loved him very much.

Li Kaigu also trusts Li Kaigu very much, and has affectionately called Li Kaigu "Fourth Uncle" since he was a child.

Li Yanhuo glanced at Li Kaigu, tilted his head and asked, "Fourth uncle, what do you think is better for me to give to Hunnu?" ”

"A gift for Hunnu?" Listening to Li Huo's question, Li Kaigu couldn't help but laugh and cry, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I said that you lost your life, you lost the fight with the guy surnamed Huo last time, but you promised that people would not fight for slaves anymore!" The Khitan man has to count when he speaks, don't make people laugh! ”

What Li Kaigu said was exactly what happened last time in Shenxian Town, where Li lost his life and compared wine with Huo Qing. Although Li Kaigu didn't know where Huo Qing came from, no matter what, he couldn't help but approve of this result.

After losing the wine competition with Huo Qing last time, Li Yanhuo has always been worried about it. He regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have agreed to fight for wine on the spur of the moment, so that he lost people in front of Hunnu, these days

, he has never been embarrassed to go to Hunnu again.

"Losing is losing, of course my words count!" Li was very stiff-mouthed, and Zhen Zhen said, "Hunnu is going to have a birthday, I just gave her a gift, does it matter?" ”

Li Kaigu was about to refute Li for being inactive, but he saw a fast horse galloping towards them.

The fast horse stopped when it came closer, and Li Kaigu saw clearly that it was Sun Wanrong's personal soldiers.

The soldiers dismounted and saluted Li Kaigu and said, "General Li, Marshal Sun, please come over!" ”

"Is there anything Sun Dashuai looking for me?" Li Kaigu asked strangely.

The soldier shook his head and said, "The marshal didn't say anything, but please hurry up to his account!" ”

Seeing that Li Kaigu was a little hesitant, Li Yanhuo said to him on the side: "Fourth uncle, let's go, I'll go with you!" ”
