Chapter 424: Absolute Strength (4)
"Stop!"
The newly repaired Black Stone Pass is extremely majestic, more than eight zhang high, more than 70 zhang wide, the Black Stone Pass is completely cut off, the city is under the city with flags to wave, a team of warriors holding Ge warriors to patrol back and forth, the guard is extremely strict, everywhere is full of a breath of slaughter, whether it is accompanied by Ninggu Sidu or Tuoba Mountain, as soon as he arrives at the city, he just got off the horse, and has been shocked so that some people are not breathing well, Tuoba Mountain is better, and the action is still free, but Ninggu Sidu is a little bit of a step is not open, is as cautious as walking on thin ice, but even so, a ** team member on duty at the city gate did not have much politeness to him, and stretched out his hand to block the way of the two.
"Ah, Team Xiao, you are always on duty personally, you have worked hard, you have worked hard, the little one is ordered by His Highness to take Tuoba Mountain and Wild to meet you, and please make it convenient for Team Xiao."
Facing Xiao Teamzheng, who had a solemn expression, Ning Gu Sidu still had the swaggering spirit that he had in front of the tribal leaders before, and trotted forward, nodding and smiling with his face.
"Wait!"
No matter how flattering Ning Gu Si smiled, Xiao Team Zheng still didn't give him a good look, just glanced at Tuoba Mountains and Fields coldly, and spit out two words lightly, and then, regardless of whether Ning Gu Si was embarrassed or not, turned around, and strode into the city gate cave, this time it was a long time to return.
"Xiao Teamzheng, does Your Highness have any orders?"
As soon as he saw that Team Xiao was striding out of the city gate hole, Ninggu Sidu hurriedly trotted over and greeted him grovelingly.
"His Royal Highness has an order: Spread the word to Tuoba Mountains and Fields to enter the city to meet you!"
Team Xiao didn't even look at Ning Gu Sidu, his face was flat, and he drank loudly.
"There's a team of Lau Xiao."
Tuoba Shanye arched his hand without humility or arrogance, thanked him, raised his feet and walked forward.
"Hey, Team Xiao, that ...... of a certain family"
Seeing that Team Xiao was turning around and leading Tuoba Mountain to leave, Ning Gusi couldn't help but be a little anxious, hurriedly followed a few steps forward, and said with a smile and tentatively.
"Your Highness has not made a special explanation, you are still acting according to the predetermined plan, and there must be no mistakes!"
Team Xiao glanced at Ning Gu Sidu impatiently, frowned, and reprimanded unceremoniously.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the little one is obedient, Xiao Team, please please."
As soon as he heard that Team Xiao was not good at speaking, Ning Gusi didn't dare to entangle anymore, and hurriedly took a small half step, smiled and made a "please" gesture, and promised one after another.
"Hmm."
Team Xiao snorted from his nostrils in response to Ninggu Sidu's words, and without further words, he led Tuoba Mountain and Ye into the city gate cave, and went straight up the city wall along the ladder.
"Alas......"
The hot face was pasted with a cold ass, not to mention the resentment in Ning Gu Sidu's heart, not to mention how aggrieved he was, but even if he gave him two more dares, he didn't dare to have any words of dissatisfaction, just because not only the old and young in his clan, but also his own little life is still in the hands of **, in addition to acting according to orders, Ning Gu Si really didn't dare to think about anything, with a long sigh, I don't know how bitter it is, but when I thought of the many tribes that were about to be in trouble, Ning Gu Si couldn't help but rejoice, and he smiled evilly, As soon as he got on his horse, he led a few guards to turn around and run towards the main formation not far away......
"Please wait!"
Team Xiao is undisguised indifference to Ning Gusi, but it is different to Tuoba Mountain, although his face is still solemn, but his words are a little polite, this line arrived at the city gate, Team Xiao immediately paused, waved his hand, and commanded in a deep voice.
"I'm tired."
Tuoba Shanye is a awakened person, and he can hear the politeness in Team Xiao's words, but he didn't dare to slack off, and he hurriedly arched his hand and thanked him humbly.
"Your Highness, please!"
Team Xiao didn't say much to Tuoba Shanye, just nodded indifferently, strode into the city gate tower, and turned out without a few breaths, waved his hand, and said a request.
"Thank you, Team Xiao."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's invitation, Tuoba Shanye didn't dare to delay more, thanked Xiao Team, stretched out his hand to straighten the clothes full of wind and dust, and strode into the city gate tower.
"The grass people are going to see His Royal Highness!"
Tuoba Shanye is worthy of being the "Eagle of Hexi", reacted very quickly, only a little stunned, and then returned to normal, walked to the hall, meticulously nodded on one knee, and made a big salute.
"'The Eagle of Hexi'? Yes, he does have courage and knowledge, well, Lone is Li Xian. ”
Li Xian has always acted with a strong purpose, the reason why he appeared here is that he came to Tuoba Mountain, this time he saw that Tuoba Mountain and Wild are extraordinary, and his heart immediately rose to love talent, and he would not be embarrassed by it, but smiled slightly, raised his hand, and praised Tuoba Mountain.
"Your Highness has a good reputation, and the grass people dare not be ashamed."
In the face of such a powerful figure as Li Xian, Tuoba Shanye did not dare to have the slightest disrespect, and respectfully saluted, then stood up and bowed in thanks.
"Lonely to not speak lightly, if you dare to come alone, you will see the courage, once you come, you don't have to be polite, just sit down." Li Xian smiled, pointed to a futon opposite the few sons, and commanded casually.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Tuoba Shanye has never been a hypocritical person, although he didn't understand the purpose of Li Xian's battle, but he didn't rush to ask, and after thanking him, he generously walked to a few sons, sat down cross-legged, lowered his eyes slightly, and put on a posture of obeying Li Xian's instructions.
"Please use tea."
Li Xian did not rush to get to the point, but reached out and took the teapot from the stove on the side, poured a bowl of tea for Tuoba Shanye, and raised his hand with a smile.
"Your Highness is generous, and the grass people are terrified."
The more polite Li Xian was, the more worried Tuoba Shanye became, but he didn't dare to reveal it, so he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, politely, picked up the tea bowl, and tried to calm down his mind by tasting tea.
"Your Highness, the grass people are entrusted by the tribes to come, and there is really a reluctant request, and I also ask Your Highness to inquire about one or two." Knowing that in such a situation, whoever speaks first will have to fall behind, but Tuoba Shanye has no choice, but because the initiative at this time is in the hands of Li Xian, Tuoba Shanye can only open his mouth hard.
"Oh? If there is something very difficult, just say it, and just listen to it. ”
Li Xian was not surprised at all by Tuoba Mountains, this situation was originally deliberately created by Li Xian, in order to completely subjugate Tuoba Mountains, so as to control the tribes in the north of Hebei, at this time, since Tuoba Mountains had something to say, Li Xian was happy to listen.
"Your Highness Mingjian, our ancestors have been grazing in Hezhou for generations, pasture is our lifeblood, and now His Highness requisitioned Hezhou, it is really cut off our way of life, now the breeding period of livestock has arrived, hundreds of thousands of people are trapped outside the city, waiting to be fed, with His Royal Highness's kindness, how can I bear to see this? The grass people implore His Highness to wait for a way to live with me. ”
Although Li Xian has always behaved very modestly, Tuoba Shanye did not dare to have the slightest relaxation, let alone strong words, but blindly lowered his posture and begged for words.
"How many tens of thousands of people are it? I don't think that if I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, although the life and death of a person is a big deal, as for the people who are outside, what does life and death have to do with Lonely? ”
When it came to business, Li Xianke was not so easy to speak, his smile narrowed, his murderous aura rose, he glanced at Tuoba Shanye coldly, and asked indifferently.
"Your Royal Highness, we have always been law-abiding, paying tribute every year, and have never been short of taxes, how can we not be the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I will not dare to agree with the grass people."
As soon as he heard that Li Xian had classified the tribes of Hexi as the barbarians, Tuoba Shanye couldn't help but feel anxious, and in this hurry, his words became a little hard.
"Really? Lone doesn't look at it that way, you claim to be the people of the Tang Dynasty, but what is feasible is not what the Tang people should do, when the Lone army led the army and the Tubo thief Kou bloody battle last year, what are you waiting for, huh? Oh, you are waiting, however, but instead of helping Lone resist the thieves, but colluding with the Tubo thieves, scouting around, sentry into the arrival of my army, and agreeing with the Tubo dog thieves to divide the land of my Tang Dynasty equally, it seems that such evil deeds dare to be called the people of my Tang Dynasty? Do you really know nothing? Hey, the so-called tax is just the rent that you should pay for the use of my Tang territory, just like paying taxes for business travel across the border, according to Er, those Persian merchants can also claim to be the people of my Tang Dynasty, huh? ”
Tuoba Shanye didn't say that it was okay to donate taxes, but as soon as he talked about it, Li Xian immediately changed his face, and unceremoniously reprimanded him harshly.
"Your Highness, God has the virtue of a good life, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people is not a trivial matter, even if we are wrong, but the old man and child are innocent, please Your Highness be merciful, let me wait, if there is any need, we will definitely give it."
What Li Xian said was the truth, Tuoba Shanye didn't dare to argue indiscriminately, so he had no choice but to blush, and pleaded in a low voice.
"Innocent? Lonely swept Tuguhun a few years ago, where he passed, he killed thousands of miles of blood, and the people killed were not all guilty, killing one is killing, killing ten thousand is also killing, those who do not listen to my Datang orders are enemies, raising tigers for trouble, and they are unwilling to do it! Li Xian sneered and retorted murderously.
"Your Highness, you ......"
Tuoba Shanye obviously didn't expect Li Xian to say this, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
"Heaven has the virtue of a good life? That's right, Lone is not an indiscriminate killer, the way to live should be given, Lone is not stingy, as for whether you wait to go or not, Lone is not reluctant. Before Tuoba Shanye could find the wording of the explanation, Li Xian had already waved his hand and said in a resolute tone.
"The grass people are foolish, please make it clear to Your Highness."
Tuoba Shanye was already almost desperate, but as soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he suddenly turned around, and he came back to his senses, and hurriedly gave a word of advice, with a faint light flashing in his eyes......
