Chapter 68: A Trick to Avoid Disaster
"Haha, good wine."
Li Huaitang Yao held the horn cup and proudly invited the bone sip who sat opposite him.
With a bitter look on his face, this Li Huaitang is really polite, he is just saying some polite words, he is actually cheeky and serious.
A few days ago, Li Huaitang complained to him vividly:
"Gu Si, when I set off from Qishi City, in order to be in a hurry, but I didn't bring any baggage, your father Khan was really cautious, and he didn't pay food, and that little reward was only half cashed out so far, and it was already filled into the stomach by the soldiers. Now I'm short of food and clothing. If I really can't do it, I'll go around begging for it under your banner. ”
Li Huaitang put on a cheeky attitude.
Bone Sip knew that the reward, though it was less than half, was fifty cows and fifteen hundred sheep. It's enough for more than 500 people to eat for more than half a month, why are you still crying and hungry? You know, the other coalition forces are called embarrassed.
Hehe, the smiling Gu Si was also afraid that Li Huaitang would ruin his reputation, and before he was about to take over a certain tribe, he would stealthily and secretly rob his good deeds, so he pretended to be generous and said: "General, what else is polite between us." With my bones for a day, how can I make you suffer. If you don't dislike my little brother, my humble place, the general's subordinates can come to me and eat. ”
As a result, because of these words, his own people watched in amazement every day as a group of hungry ghosts came to compete with them for food. It's been five days, and the people of Bone Sip are painfully aware that they have not eaten a full meal in a day, and even their mounts have been injured by the big eaters, and almost all of them have fallen off, and the people who can't bear it anymore have protested to Bone Si.
Gu Si was very helpless, so he could only go back and forth between the Chinese army camp and the garrison diligently, begging for cattle, sheep, grain and grass everywhere.
The sun had just set today, and Li Huaitang brought someone here again, very punctual.
The bones slurped haha, coping with Li Huaitang's good appetite. But in my heart, I kept thinking about how to send this hungry ghost away. After all, he was not able to hunt, and the landlord's family had no surplus food like him.
Li Huaitang has no doubt that if he eats a little harder, this bone sip will cry out if he is not sure. Take it when you see it, and finally let go of the hand holding a leg of mutton.
said: "If the bone sip is not welcome, then forget it." Big deal, I'll give you back this leg of mutton. ”
"Ah, how can you not welcome the general. It's just, it's just, that's,"
Bone smirked.
"Okay, I know what your situation is, are you too poor to eat?"
Li Huaitang said as he bit the leg of mutton in his hand, "Well, it tastes good and delicious." I said, "Bone, why don't you add some spices, then the meat will taste more delicious." Like your father, stingy. ”
"Huh!?" Bone slurp was speechless.
"General, can you think of a way, if this continues, we will have to go hungry sooner or later."
Gu Si put down the horn cup in his hand, plucked up his courage, and protested to Li Huaitang.
Li Huaitang thought it was funny, this bone slur, he actually played tricks, and changed his way to say that he couldn't afford to raise me anymore and wanted to drive me away. No way!
"Well, yes, of course. That, didn't I still have half of the reward uncashed, and I will give it to you if I suffer a loss. I'll eat at your place for a few more days, and you'll still earn it. Besides, in the city of begging history, you and your people also ate a lot of my food? ”
Li Huaitang unequivocally declared the protest of the bone sip null and void.
Bone slurp was completely speechless. Knowing that he is shameless, I just don't know that he is so shameless.
"Bone slurp, I won't eat your food in vain." Li Huaitang hiccuped, paused, and said, "This Bukhara won't last a few days." Before I set out, the prince told me that the strongest of these Bukhara is the stone fortress in the city. Don't blame me for not telling you, it's not a good thing to go in this city. ”
"You're saying that when the time comes, someone will make a bad eye?" The bone slurp began to float in his imagination.
Li Huaitang rolled his eyes and said, "Just you and me, a few hundred people, it's not enough for them to be at the bottom." There are so many people who are interested in the wealth in your hands that you can't guess who will borrow a knife to kill someone. ”
"So, what then?"
"Bone Sip, look, can we ask for a mission outside the Ranger City to prevent the Great Cannibals from breaking through. When they're done, we'll go into the city again. Besides, aren't those crippled tribes your capital? Li Huaitang made a suggestion.
"That's right. My capital. ”
At the mention of the tribe, Bone Si was excited, and he was also worried that the big cannibal would be too weak to fulfill his wishes.
"That stone castle, the general is sure it's real?"
"Nonsense, Si Jinti has come here to see the elders almost every year, and he doesn't know what is going on here?"
Li Huaitang was a little impatient, this bone was too suspicious.
"Okay, then I'll ask my father Khan for a mission."
Bone Sip was embarrassed, and simply raised his voice to cover it up.
"I don't know what kind of invitation the bone sip is going to do?"
"Didn't the general say an excuse to prevent the big cannibals from breaking through?"
Gu Si looked at Li Huaitang suspiciously.
"If you ask for a mission like that, everyone will think that you are frightened by the hellfire, and you are suspected of being afraid. In front of Sulu Khan, you have to be finished. You've got to ...... like this."
Li Huaitang lowered his voice and told Gu Si about the plan.
Li Huaitang's concern is correct. From top to bottom, even if the Great Cannibal opens the city gate and sends out invitations, even if the treasures in the city wave to them, no one will automatically ask me to fight for the first time.
The quest to ask to cruise outside the city is a high wind and a fool before the hellfire, and a coward after the hellfire. Sulu Khan would never let anyone get his wish, because this is an act of demoralization, and it would be good not to cut off the head.
Gu Si thought for a while, and then asked Li Huaitang: "Is the general really sure that Bukhara will be broken in the next few days?" ”
Li Huaitang smiled mysteriously: "Why don't we bet on five thousand sheep?" ”
"Aren't we allies? What the general knows, I have always believed in the general's, as long as this time it is as I wish, what if I send 5,000 sheep to the general? ”
The sip smile was very swaying.
"Well, it's a deal! Cheers to the Alliance! ”
Early in the morning, the Turgish camp was lively, sweeping away the haze of defeat a few days ago.
Some of the knights who had gone out to hunt came back with the booty, and the soldiers who stayed behind all stared at them with red eyes and envy.
Bone slurp, also staring at bulging eyes, ran into Sulu Khan's big tent.
"Great Khan. Well, I'm running out of food again. "Bone Sip pretended to be honest.
Sure enough, Que Yi was so embarrassed, "I remember, Gu Si came to ask for it only before yesterday." Do you have so many of your subordinates? ”
"Humph! I am a sob, son of the great Sulu Khan. Do you still need to beg? Gu Si fought back according to Li Huaitang's words. Gu Si's heart was surprised, how did this Li Huaitang know what Que Yi Nanru said, could it be that they are also allies?
Sulu Khan was a little surprised, when did this son's resignation become so powerful, and he never saw it. Just gave him a knighthood, and suddenly there was a gratifying growth, not bad! The frustration caused by Anmutata's escape finally improved somewhat.
Que Yi was so suffocated that he habitually opened his mouth and prepared to fight back, but he didn't know what to say, he was really despicable, and he used the hat of Sulu Khan to press himself.
Eat deflated. And all the people in the tent were happy to see it.
"Great Khan, I, the warriors of the Turgish, have always been proud of the spoils of war under the sword. Please ask the Great Khan to sip his bones and fight for his glory! "The bone sip is righteous and strict.
"Well, worthy of being the son of my Sulu Khan. That's it! ”
Sulu Khan was relieved that this son's performance did not disgrace him. "However, there is not much more that can be hunted for you, you have to think about it."
"Bone Sip will never live up to Sulu Khan's expectations."
Gu Si was very excited, and shouted in his heart, it's done, it's done.
Mohe Dagan stood up and interrupted his excitement: "Sulu Khan, this, the big war is coming, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go out hunting again." ”
Sulu Khan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Don't get in the way, aren't there only hundreds of people in the bones, and will there be a shortage of those people in Bukhara?" ”
Moheda retreated dryly. Of the warriors sent out yesterday, nine are missing and have not returned. In the morning, he sent someone out to search, but there was no result, and Mo Hedagan looked at Gu Si with disgust, and Gu Si's pride made him have a bad premonition.
Everything was calculated by Li Huaitang. I don't know if Bukhara will be breached in the next few days, and whether the stone fortress in the city will really swallow many lives? As he came out of the tent, he kept asking himself questions. Suspicion hung over his head, well, whatever, anyway, if there is a good thing, it will not be his turn, it is better to stay away from that hellfire.
