Chapter 166: The Storyteller

The Kushan Empire used to be a dynasty that left a strong mark in history, but this dynasty is very special, they have many, many shortcomings, and when they are finally lonely, they are almost full of holes.

Vesudeva I, the last sustainer of the Kushan's prosperity, has been submerged in history since his death.

Kushan Empire, Taxila City.

As the head of the mission sent to the Great Han, after being suppressed by Liu Xie, Narendi killed everyone in the mission with his own hands in order not to be punished by Vesudeva, and he also thought about how to shirk this responsibility.

After such a long time, Narendi finally returned, and when he saw the city of Taxila, Narendi, who was tired all the way, finally relaxed.

He knew he was home!

After a night's rest, Narendi bathed and changed his clothes, and after changing into his official uniform, he came to the palace, and the situation of the Kushan Empire and the Han Dynasty was different.

Vesudeva did not go to the court, and their practice was that once the country had an incident, their senators and senate would first make peace and then report to him, but Vesudeva had a veto power.

So usually when Vesudeva is fine, he just practices martial arts in the palace, enjoys the scenery, or sleeps with his harem.

Therefore, if the courtiers usually want to see him, they can only do so by asking to see him, which is also for Vesudeva in order to show his mystery, his rule over the country, in addition to power, is also partly theocratic mind control.

Narendi was not a figure in Kushan, so if he wanted to see the king, he needed to pass through layer after layer of tests, and after more than half an hour of tossing, he saw his king in the garden.

Vesudeva, the founder of the Kushan kingdom of Vesudeva Dynasty, a god-like being, in the eyes of their people, Vesudeva I, is an invincible god, because he used an army of less than 10,000 people to capture seven cities in a row, and it became a myth for a while.

And he himself is a believer in theism, and he is willing to regard everything he has as God-given power, and even pretend to be the embodiment of God.

Tall, mighty, and powerful, Vesudeva exuded full of masculine strength all over his body, and although his body was covered in scars, those were his medals for good fighting.

Gorgeous clothes, pure gold ornaments, Vesudeva stood there, still holding a glass of wine in her hand, leaving only a back for him.

"Sovereign."

"You're back?"

Vesudeva's voice was very low and deep, and Narendi lay on the ground cleanly, eager to bury his face in the soil: "Sovereign, the minister has returned, and the minister has insulted you." ”

"Oh?"

Vesudeva turned around and her resolute face was full of anger: "Then when you come back, did you receive death?" If so, I won't burn you to death, I'm willing to leave you a whole corpse. ”

"Sovereign, you listen to the minister's explanation!"

Narendi's heart sank, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he opened his mouth and said a set of words he had made up: "Monarch, this matter is really not the fault of the minister, the little emperor of the Han Dynasty is extremely rampant, he not only killed our lions, but also killed all the people of the mission, leaving only the minister as the head of the mission, and come back to report to you." ”

"He killed all the missions?"

Vesudeva smiled, sneered, and showed her two golden teeth: "I'll leave you behind, Narendi, it seems that you have to be very lucky." ”

"No, monarch, he just wants his ministers to come back and declare war on you!"

Speaking of this, a man as old as Narendi actually cried: "Sovereign, he said that not only will he kill all the people of the mission, but he will also come to Kushan, kill all our soldiers, and take all the people captive and become their slaves. ”

"Did he say all these things? I look like you're in the tone. ”

To be able to become the monarch of a country, of course, is not easy to deceive, Vesudeva looked at him, her eyes shining: "These arrangements and ways of speaking are obviously your habits, you can't fool me." ”

"Sovereign, I don't dare to lie to you!"

Narendi cried even louder: "Sovereign, the minister really doesn't dare to lie to you, everything the minister said is true!" ”

"Oh."

Vesudeva nodded, took a sip of wine, and glanced into the distance: "Big Han, is it still the big man back then?" ”

"No, they are chaotic and poor, the common people have no food, no warm clothing, nothing, their warriors have no horses, no armor, and their weapons are rotten."

"Really?"

Vesudeva smiled again, but unlike just now, his smile at the moment was a little puzzled, more disdainful: "Just like this, they still dare to kill our mission...... Arrogant! ”

"They are not only arrogant, but also very proud!"

Saying this, Narendi raised his upper body and looked directly at him: "Look, monarch! ”

As he spoke, he tore his sleeve to reveal the rotting wound on his arm: "This is what they left for the minister!" ”

"Hmm."

Vesudeva looked at it, and there was no emotional fluctuation, very indifferent: "You go back, I won't punish you, I will talk about anything later, and also, tell the senate and the senate what you just said to me." ”

"Remember, whatever you say, I know it, there is a sentence that is not true, you will be sent to the wasteland to feed my eagle."

"Minister, know, monarch, the minister has retired!!"

Although Vesudeva reacted indifferently, Narendi knew that his monarch had already moved his heart to attack the Great Han, and this was fine, as long as he had this mind, he would be safe.

As for whether you can fight, whether you can win, and when you can fight, it doesn't matter, as long as you can live!

Narendi left, and after leaving the palace, he walked directly to the Senate, but at this time, there was another cold-faced man beside Vesudeva.

His stature was even taller and stronger than that of Vesudeva, but his face was terrifying, with only one eye, from his right eye to his chin, and even to his neck, with a long, thick scar, and that scar was clearly burned by the flames.

"Sovereign, he didn't tell the truth."

"I know."

Vesudeva nodded, his attitude towards this person was obviously much closer: "He lied, in order to survive, I didn't kill him, just to use troops against the Han State, I have always liked their Hexi Corridor very much, but there is no chance, isn't it just right this time?" ”

"Sovereign, do you really want to do it?" Dahan was obviously very surprised.

Vesudeva nodded, with a little sadness on her face, and sighed heavily and deeply: "You should know our current situation, although Guishan is very large and has a lot of troops, it ...... After all, we are too loose, and such a large territory is no longer enough to ensure everyone's life, and today you don't have your own fiefdom, don't you want it? ”

"I think, it seems ...... to start a war with the Han Dynasty"

Halfway through the Han Dynasty's words, Vesudeva suddenly waved his hand and stopped him: "Don't say anything, don't worry, I have my own ideas, if we start a war with the Han Kingdom, we may not necessarily win, but we will not lose, they have long lost control of the Hexi Corridor, those small projectile countries, they also hope that they can break free from the shackles of the Han Kingdom one day earlier, this is what I want." ”

Vesudeva said, patting him on the shoulder and turning to leave.

And the big man looked at his back, and after a long silence, he put his right fist on his chest, knelt on one knee, and bowed to him.

When Vesudeva had completely disappeared, he slowly stood up, leaving only a heavy sigh......
