Chapter 201: The Man in the Palace
The generals stopped arguing, got up one after another, and looked at Qi Ketian and his party, Chi Li put away the objects on the ground, but it was a map.
Ni Qing made a slight gesture and led the people of Qi Ketian to Li Luo's approach. Li Luo took a few steps forward, walked in front of Qi Ketian, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Lord Wang, I came to see you early in the morning, I don't know what happened?" ”
Qi Ketian hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "General, Xirong is already a subject country of Dagan, please call Ketian by name, but Tian can never afford to be called a prince." Behind him, the people of the royal family also knelt down and saluted, chanting the general.
Li Luo helped up Qi Ketian, motioned for everyone to get up, and said kindly: "The prince doesn't have to be like this, Xirong is still here, no matter what happens in the future, you are still the virtuous king of Xirong, Shuoxi is in turmoil, and the prince should take on the responsibility and spend the difficulties with the soldiers and civilians in the city." ”
Li Luo smiled and said: "You and I are fighting on the battlefield, there are victories and defeats, but the people of Xirong are innocent, and I hope that the prince will be sympathetic to the people of Shuoxi City, Li Luo said more, since you and I are already allies, please don't talk about the war lightly in the future, otherwise you and I can only fight on the battlefield again." ”
Qi Ketian was shocked, and hurriedly continued: "No, no, Ketian remembers the general's words today, I, Xirong, will never go to war with Dagan again in the future, and I am willing to take a hundred years with your country." ”
Li Luo laughed and said: "It is difficult for you and me to predict what will happen in the future, but if there is really this day, Li Luo has nothing else to ask for, but I hope that the prince will think twice." ”
Qi Ketian was slightly suspicious, but he still responded respectfully, and the people in Xirong behind him didn't know what Li Luo meant in his words, they only thought that Li Luo was testing Qi Ketian's heart to surrender. Li Luo looked at it, smiled, looked at Qi Ketian and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know what is going on when I come to see you this time?" ”
"General. The land of the mountains and wilderness of Shuoxi is not as good as the country of Dagan Tianfu, but he is naturally afraid of snubbing the general and the generals, and discussed with the elders of the clan last night, Xirong received the great favor of the general, and he could not repay it. Today, the children of the task force came to serve the generals, expressed their gratitude, and asked the generals not to blame. ”
Li Luo sighed secretly, just after seeing the people in Xirong, Li Luo knew what was going on, except for Qi Ketian, only three or two elders came with him, and the remaining dozens of people were all female dependents, with a good appearance. Dressed in thin wisps.
Last night, the autumn rain just fell, the weather was getting colder, Li Luo and a few people were wearing martial arts, I didn't think so, these women were cold and invaded their bodies, but they were all slightly shivering, but I don't know if there was more autumn or more fear.
Li Luo glanced back at the generals behind him. Everyone had mixed feelings for a while, and their emotions were complicated and difficult to understand. Li Luo smiled lightly and said: "Lord Wang, people like us who are in the army, they are not so delicate, and they are not used to being served, and the prince is kind enough to accept it." If nothing else, please go back and rest. ”
Karma Ketian was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond, and the elder behind him stepped forward slightly, and said with a deep salute: "General." This is a piece of the king's heart, there is no other meaning, Shuoxi is located on the border, and it can't be compared with Dagan, but these are the most empathetic maids in my Shuoxi Palace, if the general is not too vulgar, I hope to laugh. ”
"Maid?" Li Luo glanced at it and replied indifferently: "With such a demeanor, if you are just a maid, your Shuoxi Palace is indeed a fairyland on earth." ”
The elder saluted again: "The general is discerning, and there are a few people in the palace, so that they can be worthy of the noble status of the general." ”
Everyone in front of them, there is no lack of noble people in Shuoxi Palace, most of them were also brocade clothes and jade food a few days ago, calling for wind and rain, but now they are the same as what they saw in the city that day, trembling in front of the Dagan soldiers, frightened, there are still a few women who struggled to hold back the tears in their eyes after the elder Xirong finished speaking, just like a rootless leaf.
Li Luo was speechless, if one day Zhuocheng City was broken, collect jade, the Lan Concubine he respected, or the lonely shadow under the begonia tree, would it end up like this.
Li Luo was stunned, and there was no response for a long time, and everyone in Xirong didn't know what Li Luo was thinking, so they stood quietly on the spot. The elder who had just spoken glanced at each other, the elder's face was worried, and the elder was even more nervous.
Yun Wuyan called in a low voice, "General." ”
Li Luo came back to his senses and said a little tiredly: "Let's go back." ”
"This?" Karma Ketian said with a sad face.
"Anything else?" Li Luo looked at Qi Ketian indifferently and asked.
Qi Ketian looked up at Li Luo, only to see that Li Luo's eyes were cold and cold, and he couldn't see the slightest thought, Qi Ketian's body was cold, his heart was beating wildly, he took a sharp breath, lowered his head and replied: "General, Brother Wang ordered Ketian to prepare some tribute overnight, and he must ask the general to accept it and hand it over to Dagan Shengshang, in order to show Xirong's surrender." ”
Li Luo sighed, and Yun Wuyan whispered: "General, there are many people here, and it is not good for the general to send it back to Zhuocheng." ”
Li Luowei groaned and said slowly: "Enter the hall." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the side hall, paused slightly, and said, "You all come in." ”
This side hall is still intact, spared the impact of the war, Li did not sit down after entering the palace, standing in the hall, Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan will stand on the left and right, looking at the people of the royal family of Ketian and Xirong.
Qian Ketian didn't wait for Li Luo to speak, so he bowed down and saluted: "General, Xirong is willing to surrender to Dagan, there is no second heart, and the tribute is sent before the end of the year every year......" After speaking, he paused slightly, glanced at Li Luo with anxiety, and said: "The tribute gift list has been sent to the general earlier, I don't know if the general has received it?" Are you satisfied? ”
Li Luo replied lightly, groaned slightly, and said, "I saw it, it's just ......"
Seeing Li Luo's hesitation, he thought that he was disgusted with the number of tributes, so he hurriedly continued: "General, if it is less, Ketian can add some more." ”
Li Luo looked at Qi Ketian in surprise, and said in surprise: "Less? The abundance of tribute is dwarfed even by the lands of Tiannan, but now that the war in Xirong has just ended, can you take out so much wealth? ”
Qi Ketian was stunned for a moment, and said slightly: "But God thank the general, as long as I can make the saint of your country believe in my intention to surrender to Xirong, even if you eat bran vegetables, you will also have to gather tribute, please rest assured." ”
Li Luo sighed and said, "Okay, there's no need to say more. After saying that, Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan whispered a few words, and everyone in Xirong looked at Li Luo and the others in fear, the current situation is to make up enough of the tributes on the gift list that day, it is already very difficult, if you really want to add more, I am afraid it will not only be to eat bran vegetables.
Li Luo turned his head to look at Qi Ketian, and said slowly: "Lord Wang." ”
"The minister is here." Karma Ketian hurriedly proclaimed himself a minister.
