Chapter 32 Turning Enemies Against Others
Wu Li Ji hurriedly shouted: "Chaolu, you are drunk, put away your knife!" ”。
As if he hadn't heard, Chaolu staggered forward a few steps with his knife raised, and tried to open his red eyes and said loudly, "Lord Chao Gesulid, is this your hospitality?" I have a crush on this woman, and you give her to me now! ”。
Over there, Suha had already dressed the woman, gritted her teeth and glared at Chaolu, but did not make a sound.
Chao Gesulid suppressed the anger in his heart, and said loudly with a reluctant smile: "Venerable messenger, you have drunk too much, this leader does not care about you, she is my daughter-in-law." If you like our Tuni woman, tomorrow when you wake up, I will ask the elders to find you a few young and beautiful ones to choose from. ”
Chao Lu crossed the scimitar and said angrily: "No! I just want her! Now that you Tunis have agreed to join the coalition, show some sincerity! Bals is the Great Khan of the steppe, the entire steppe is ours, if you dare to disobey, our coalition army will kill all your Tuni people, and ensure that no chickens and dogs will be left! ”。
Uliji was sweating profusely, and he was scared to wake up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Respected Tuni leader Chao Gesulide, Chaolu He has indeed drunk too much, and his mouth is full of nonsense. I believe that the leader's mind is as vast as the blue sky and as vast as the grassland, and he will never be unable to get along with a drunkard. On his behalf, I make amends to the Tuni chiefs and the elders. ”
Chao Gesulid glared at Chao Lu in disgust, sighed softly, waved his hand and said to Uliji: "You can help him down quickly, as the leader of the clan, how can I be as knowledgeable as a drunkard!" ”。
Without waiting for Uliji to turn around, he twisted his neck and glared at Lu and scolded: "Uliji, you are stupid, right? What sins?! We have the Iron Cavalry of the Steppe Coalition behind us, how about the Cutus tribe? Isn't it the same as being killed by us?! The little Tuni tribe is a fart! I don't approve of Bars negotiating with them, how happy it would be to kill them directly! ”。
Chaolu's drunken remarks aroused the anger of the crowd, and the Tuni people present clenched their fists, but no one attacked because of the leader's face.
The anxious and annoyed Uliji didn't catch it, Chaolu turned around and walked towards Suha crookedly with a scimitar, and shouted at the same time: "You let go of her, get out of the way, she belongs to me tonight." ”
Suha, who had long been unable to bear it anymore, gently pushed his wife away, pulled out his scimitar with a "cang" sound, and strode up to meet him.
Seeing that Suha not only did not flinch, but drew his knife to meet him, Chaolu, who was dizzy, couldn't hold back his anger, and he shouted and raised his knife to chop it off.
The sword flashed, sparks splashed, and the sweaty Uliji didn't dare to approach, so he could only stomp his feet on the spot in a hurry.
He turned to his knees and pleaded with Gesulid, "Chief, please order them all to stop." ”
He raised his hand, the gray goatee under his chin was slightly cocked, and he snorted in his nose: "It was your people who were drunk and rude first, spoke disrespectfully, and took the initiative to draw a knife against each other, I can't blame my son!" ”。
Although Chaolu was drunk, after all, he followed Baars to fight and fight, and he had considerable combat experience. Although Suha was a Tuni warrior, he didn't drink too much and was quite sober, so he didn't intend to put Chaolu to death, and showed mercy to his subordinates everywhere. Under the elimination of one and the other, Chaolu gradually gained the upper hand, and the knife was extremely fierce, not far from the vital point of Suha.
With a "whoosh", Suha's placket was pulled open with a slender opening, and the bronzed skin was also scratched, oozing fine beads of blood. Suha was furious, no longer soft, and attacked Chaolu with all his strength.
After more than a dozen moves, with a "poof", Chaolu's head flew away from his exclusive neck, and a stream of hot blood in his cavity spurted out more than a foot high, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Suha, who had calmed down, was suddenly stunned, and he turned his head to look at his father, the leader of the Tuni tribe, Chao Gesulid.
Chao Gesulid was also dumbfounded, he originally thought that with Suha's bravery, he would teach this envoy a lesson that did not know the height of the sky, so that they would not dare to underestimate the Tuni people, and then he would finally come out to make a round, how could he have expected such a result?
The Tuni elders were also staring at each other, completely at a loss. Degassing is degassing, but how to end up next?
The pale-faced Ulji's heart was beating suddenly, and he was worried that the Tuni people would simply not do anything, and even kill him. Not to mention the bumps in the back and forth, the three-day negotiations seem to be in vain, and whether his life can be saved has become a problem!
Great Qi Emperor Li Hongji put his hands behind his back, stared at Guan Yu's face with interest, and was silent for a long time.
He suddenly asked, "Since you are so good at kung fu and have such courage, why don't you go directly to the prison of the criminal department if you want to rescue the girl like smoke?" It can be known that this palace is heavily guarded, I'm afraid you can't come and go! ”。
Guan Yu grinned and said, "You haven't played the game of tigers, sticks, and chickens when you drink with people, right?" The stick beats the tiger, the tiger eats the chicken, the chicken eats the worm, and the worm gnaws the stick. You are like the stick, the criminal department is the tiger, I am the flying chicken, the stick is not a big threat to the chicken, but the tiger may be very deadly. I think the saint should take into account the reputation of his own generation of kings, and he will never get along with a little thief, and catching the thief is the errand of your yamen. ”
Gonggong Zheng's face turned pale, and he pointed at Guan Yu angrily and scolded: "You are presumptuous, bold, and deserve death!" ”。
Li Hongji waved his hand, not only did he not get angry, but smiled slightly: "What you said is reasonable, if I deliberately embarrass a thief, wouldn't it demean that those who are kings should have the world in mind?" Funny joke! Let me ask you, you have traveled from south to north, wandering around, how do you feel that the widow will govern this great world? ”。
Guan Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Tell you the truth, will you kill me in a fit of rage? ”。
Zheng Gong almost didn't take his breath, and he trembled breathlessly and pointed at Guan Yu and scolded: "You deceive the king, commit a crime, and go against the grain!" ”。
Li Hongji frowned and glanced at Gonggong Zheng, and said, "Gonggong Zheng, you are tired, let's retreat and rest first." ”
Gonggong Zheng was stunned, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bend down and bow his head and bow and walk backwards and slowly.
Li Hongji turned around and came to the back of the bookcase, sat down steadily, and then stared at Guan Yu and said: "The widow has a lot of opportunities, and he hardly has time to step out of the palace gate, and there is no one else here, so the widow just wants to listen to your truth." No matter what you say, as long as it is true, I will forgive you without sin! ”。
Guan Yu glanced up at Li Hongji, who was high above, and said with a slight smile: "That's it, then I want to tell the truth, don't turn your face and deny it, and immediately call someone to come in and cut off my head!" ”。
Li Hongji waved his hand impatiently and eagerly: "You have no jokes!" You can rest assured."
Guan Yu said word by word: "A piece of shit." ”
Li Hongji's face changed greatly, his eyes widened angrily, and when he saw that he was about to shoot the case, he called the executioner to raise his knife.
Guan Yu hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Alas, don't forget what you just said, you have no jokes, forgive me for my innocence." I'm talking about truth or dare."
Li Hongji forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stabilized his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "You tell me the reason." ”
Guan Yu put his hands behind his back, followed Li Hongji's appearance just now, and slowly paced: "The Great Qi Dynasty is like a hundred-year-old towering giant tree with lush foliage, as far as I know, you have also put in a lot of effort. Unfortunately, the foundation of this big tree is dead, and if you just prune some dead branches and leaves, I am afraid that it will be useless and fruitless. ”
Li Hongji was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Then how to treat the symptoms and the root cause?" ”。
Guan Yu stopped, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't come to ask me, I'm just a chivalrous thief, not a veterinarian, and I can't prescribe medicine." ”
Li Hongji exhaled heavily, hating the root of his teeth, but he was helpless. He stared at Guan Yu with his eyes like lightning, eager to immediately dismantle him.
Guan Yu hurriedly continued: "Actually, I just said it casually, saying so bluntly that the saint was not angry, which shows that his mind is broad and unfathomable. It is worthy of being the true son of heaven, and it is beyond the reach of mortals such as us! ”。
Li Hongji suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and at the same time secretly surprised: this thief is extraordinary, he can actually appreciate the broad and broad mind of the widow, and he is even stronger than some courtiers!
After a while, Li Hongji slowly spoke: "If you can turn back and change your ways, you may be able to stay by my side and give you an errand." ”
Guan Yu was stunned and said, "Like him? Excuse me, if you don't have a life, you might as well order someone to cut me down immediately! As he spoke, he pointed to the figure of Gonggong Zheng, who had just left the door.
Li Hongji was angry and said, "Why did I say that I have to be a eunuch?!" ”。
The leader of the Tuni tribe gritted his teeth and said, "The matter has come to this, so I have to ask the envoy of Uliji to bring back the body of that one, and make sure to explain to the Great Khan of Bars what happened." If the Khan can understand the plight of my Tunis and forgive my son's impulsiveness, then our agreement can continue to be fulfilled, and the Tunis are willing to join the coalition and support the Great Khan of Bars. ”
At this point, he paused slightly, taking a closer look at the reaction on Ulligi's face. Then he continued: "If the king of the Khan does not forgive me, and insists that my son fight with his life, then I will trouble you to tell him: I, the Tunis, have grown up on the tip of a sword on horseback, and have never yielded to any power, nor have I ever been afraid of battle!" All the agreements we negotiated are null and void, and you will no longer be greeted with singing and dancing and fine wine, but with cold bows and scimitars! ”。
Uliji's expression was indifferent and profound, and he was actually ecstatic in his heart: he could return to the Khan King alive and safe, and nothing else was within his consideration.
Uligi drove the wagon and fled the Tuni tribe overnight. When he returned to the garrison of the grassland coalition army with Chaolu, who was in a different place, it instantly caused an uproar. Before the Great Khan of Bars could give the order, the soldiers rubbed their fists, sharpened their scimitars, and shouted and vowed to kill all the Tunis.
Another bloody battle is imminent, and it is on the verge of breaking out.
