Chapter 58: Going to the meeting alone
In summer, the snow on the top of the mountain melts and gathers, forming countless rivers of all sizes, and also forming many long and narrow valleys, the longest of which is called the valley of the Wakhsh River, along the valley to the northeast, you can lead to the Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, and you can also lead to the country of Tianma, Bahanna.
A caravan of more than 100 men was heading upstream along the Vakhsh River in the scorching sun.
Kang Shalai was in a hurry, the caravan had been out for more than twenty days before it arrived here, and it would take at least a month to enter Datang. I'm afraid that by the time I arrived in Datang, the seller had already been tortured back to Chang'an by impatience.
"What should I do?"
Konshalai couldn't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly to Bahuan City immediately.
"Brother Kang, it's not a way to be in a hurry. In my opinion, it is better to send someone to contact the seller first. ”
For so many days, Babu had become very familiar with Konshalai, and from time to time Konshalai revealed some information about the sale to Babu.
"But none of my men know the seller. ”
Babu thought for a moment and said, "Is there a token?" ”
"Yes, there are, but there are many wild wolves and beasts on this trail, and I am afraid that no one is willing or dares to walk alone."
Konshalai voiced his concerns.
Babu looked at the fast-flowing river on his right, the steep path between the river and the mountains. On the left, there is a dense wood, and in the dense vegetation, there is no movement from invisible animals, and the howl of a wolf can be faintly heard from time to time.
Indeed, if one or two people walk on this trail, there is not much chance of survival.
"The Báb was on the road alone. These days, if it weren't for Brother Kang's help, I'm afraid he would have been killed. Babu is not talented, but willing to go alone. Baser.
According to Babu's plan, he wanted to go to the local officials and offer treasures to see the Tang Emperor after arriving in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, Consalai told him that it would not work. The Báb did not have a credential, and the local officials would not easily believe it, and it would take years for them to settle the arrangements. Besides, there is a set of procedures for this. Generally, if there is no one to recommend you in the court, you have to go to Honglu Temple.
Konshalai had a point, and Babu's expression darkened.
However, Konshalai's words then gave Babu hope, saying that he knew a prince in Chang'an who could introduce him. At the moment, the Báb was grateful.
Maybe it's out of regratitude. Babu volunteered and volunteered.
Consarai hesitated, Babu was a man he respected, and if he killed Babu because of this, his heart would not be happy. However, there is no alternative to this option at the moment.
"Brother Kang, even if you don't agree, I have to go on my way alone. I must complete my mission as an elder as soon as possible. "Báb was resolute.
"Alright, I'll arrange for two more knights to escort you."
Consalai also had to make up his mind. At the same time, he also handed over the only token to the Báb.
Say goodbye to speechlessness, all in silence.
Babu disappeared into the winding path with two retinues, one man and two horses......
"The fire is raging, but the light is bright. There is no joy in life, and there is no pain in death. For the good to eliminate the evil, but the light is the same. Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows......"
Anmutata's freedom was restricted, and he stayed in a felt every day, surrounded by dozens of Turgish soldiers, who could not even be crossed by flies.
At this time of the day, it was an ordeal and a test for the Turk soldiers who guarded it.
"Damn, the lullaby is going on again."
One of the guards shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off the sleepy insects that were invisible to the naked eye.
"See, how many flies do I have in my ears? I think I only felt one yesterday. ”
Unsure, the other guard painfully put his ear in front of his companion.
"Don't make a fuss, be careful of sticks! Hey? Which bastards are finally here. ”
Expecting a late change of guard, the guards were surprised to find that the legendary captive prince, Gu Lulu, had arrived, and behind him, a large group of cavalry, led by a majestic and imposing knight. A line of cavalry passed unhurriedly in front of them, and the eyes cast at them were all without exception disdain.
The Anmutata in the big tent no longer has the worries it had at the beginning, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. He believed that with the wisdom of the people of Bukhara, no one could manipulate them and change their will, not the Great Cannibals, and even more so the Turgish. The God of Light will definitely show his followers a path of light, otherwise, he would not have descended a divine object at a critical moment.
After so many days, except for knowing that Babu seems to have been rescued by the merchants of Shi Guo, there is no other news about Luck and Babu, maybe this is also good news, which shows that Babu does not live up to his trust, otherwise the triumphant Luck and Que Yi Nanru will definitely appear in front of their eyes and show off their exploits.
An Mutata, who has calmed down in his heart, is more peaceful, everything is at ease, the god of light will control and arrange everything in the world to be carried out according to his will, and anyone who dares to oppose the will of the god of light will be severely punished.
The Turgish camp was unprecedentedly lively, as if it was a Wo worship party.
Wojiao protectors from all over the world have gathered. Li Huaitang also led the representatives of Shi Guo, and the last group arrived at the camp of the Tuqi Shi people in the Western Cao State.
Sulu Khan looked with satisfaction at the Wo Protectors of various countries gathered in front of the camp, and just now the Dharma Protectors called him the Messenger of Light, satisfying his growing vanity. With the support of these Wojiao protectors in various countries, why worry about big things?
"Very good, Que Yi is difficult, I will remember your credit. Ha ha. "Sulu Khan is a little crazy." Oh, you're General Shi Guo? ”
A mighty general standing beside Gu Si caught the attention of Sulu Khan, and Li Huaitang walked into Sulu Khan's sight for the first time.
"This is our general, Li Huaitang. I beg your pardon the Great Khan, our generals are not good at the Turkic language. ”
Hu Du, who was inseparable from Li Huaitang, introduced Sulu Khan without humility or arrogance.
"It doesn't matter, hehe."
After all, the crown of flames representing supreme sincerity was staying in his head at this time, and the red tape could be put aside for the time being. Sulu Khan thought he was still very broad-minded.
"This is the national letter of our Shi country, please accept it by Sulu Khan."
Li Huaitang held out a national credential.
Naturally, someone stepped forward and took the credentials from Li Huaitang. At the signal of Sulu Khan, he proclaimed in public: "Since Sulu Khan generously raised troops, he rescued the countries of my river from dire straits. The Great Khan's army was full of joy and excitement, and my country was no exception. Now I heard that the Great Khan was coming to Xicao, and the little king of my history was frightened and could not come in person, so he offered a flame crown, two dancing girls, and sent a large army to follow, and felt the kindness of the Great Khan with full memory. In order to show loyalty, our country of history is willing to honor Sulu Khan as the leader of the Communist Party of China. ”
"Haha, good, what a co-master. 100 cattle and 3,000 sheep. ”
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Sulu Khan's eyes narrowed, a little carried away.
As expected, there were also surprises. It was Li Huaitang's established strategy to show weakness and curry favor with Sulu Khan, and Sulu Khan's attitude was completely in line with what he thought, and to Li Huaitang's surprise, he did not expect that this letter of state would be exchanged for a herd of cattle and sheep.
The generals of the rest of the countries cast different glances, either envy, disdain, or jealousy.
"Sulu Khan, these Shi people should be arrested, and their heads and their blood should be used to pay tribute to the Turgish warriors who died bravely under the city of Qishi."
When the enemies saw each other, they were very excited. Moheda jumped out in a hurry, his right hand tightly grasping the handle of the scimitar tied to his side, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed. As long as Sulu Khan gave a nod, Mohe Dagan would draw his sword and slash at Li Huaitang.
Li Huaitang couldn't help but be disdainful, and his heart was sneering, isn't it self-seeking to take revenge at this time? Not to mention how the soldiers of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms who belonged to them were in danger and their morale was fluctuating, just the praise and reward that Sulu Khan had just thrown out didn't know how to end, in front of so many people, if Li Huaitang was disposed of, where would Sulu Khan put his face?
"Great Khan, no." Prince Gu Lulu appeared without surprise and said, "Shi Guo has always regarded my Sulu Khan as a hero in the river, but this time it was just a misunderstanding. If it weren't for Aslan's greedy disobedience and pretending to be a horse thief to attack Shi Guo, I'm afraid he wouldn't have caused so much trouble. ”
"You! His Royal Highness the Prince has not been captured, and even his courage has been forgotten in the city of begging history. How to reach outsiders? Mohedagan first laughed angrily.
Gu Lulu knew that Mohe Dagan would definitely bring up the matter of the captives to attack him. But he couldn't help it, and said angrily: "I was defeated." But when I was defeated, where was Mohedagan? ”
"I was taken prisoner. However, Shi Guoren has always treated me like a guest, especially after knowing that I am the prince of Turgish, and even expressed to me his desire to respect Sulu Khan as his co-master. It's just that everything was ruined by Aslan's stupid donkey. Because of Aslan, the people of Shi Guo have always thought that we are horse bandits on the grassland, so they fought to the death. ”
Sulu Khan was silent, and there was no joy or anger on his face. Even Que Yinanru, who has always been good at observing words and feelings, doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd.
"Honor, great Sulu Khan, we are ready to owe our allegiance to you. There was a slight misunderstanding before, and for this reason, His Royal Highness did not hesitate to execute Kubaida and dedicated it to Sulu Khan's tent. Hope for Sulu Khan's forgiveness. ”
Hudu said in Turkic. Just now, Li Huaitang said something softly next to him.
Que Yi's cunning eyes turned around, and he played a round at the right time: "Hehe, Great Khan, what Mohe Dagan said is in the past." It doesn't matter, even between us Turgish, who doesn't have a little misunderstanding? Forget about the past, the key is the future. ”
Sulu Khan showed a smile on his face and said, "The Han people have a saying, called, the prime minister can hold the boat in his stomach. We Turgish people must not let the Han people compare. ”
After speaking, he looked at Mohedagan and Gu Lulu meaningfully.
"Great Khan, I ......"
Mohedagan choked. Sulu Khan's words have come to this, so what else can be said.
A tense dispute came urgently, and the fire was extinguished quickly. At the sound of the order, everyone dispersed, went to pack up, prepared to prepare, and tomorrow the army will take the oath of division, and the target is Bukhara.
