Chapter 072: Repeating the Old Trick
Luo Quan walked into the big tent of Simo Khan with his head held high, and the sergeants guarding the door by the tent bowed to him one after another. It feels good.
The armored warriors in the big tent were waiting for them, and their hands were on the handles of their swords and guns. Most of the Khan's officials were also present.
Out of the corner of his eye, he already saw Gao Jun, and he sat cross-legged. On the small square table in front of him, several pheasant tails used for decoration in a bamboo tube were brightly colored, and he picked one up casually, twisted it between his fingers and looked at it, completely ignoring the imminent situation in the big tent.
And Princess Siqing was sitting behind the small table next to Gao Jun at the moment, and she didn't even untie the double knives in her waist. Luo Quan only flashed a slight question in his head: This tall man knows his skills, he didn't take advantage of the second highness in the desert last time, and the second highness also died in the hands of this kid, how did Princess Siqing capture him alone?
Luo Quan deliberately pretended not to see Gao Jun, but just saluted at Simo and said:
"Great Khan, I don't know what you have to say?"
Simo pointed at Gao Jun with his hand, "Since the prime minister is from Liuzhong Ranch, can you recognize this person?" ”
Luo Quan said, "How can I not know him?" He is the one who killed the Second Highness, Gao Jun, the deputy supervisor of Liu Zhongmu. was captured by Princess Siqing this time, which happened to be called Tianli Zhaozhao and retribution was unhappy! ”
Gao Jun sneered, "Luo Quan, so to speak, you killed Wang Ren with poison in the Liuzhong Ranch, but you were able to run to the depths of the desert to get away, is the retribution not yet coming?" ”
Luo Quan said angrily, "Bold! I am now the deputy prime minister under the tent of the Khan of the Jieli Ministry, how can I allow you to resist and destroy it casually! Then he turned to Simo Dao, "Great Khan, I ask that he be locked behind the tent immediately, and he will be separated by a knife!" ”
Simo said, "The prime minister is not busy, don't look at him and he can still win by luck in the chaotic army, with my second brother's skills, he can only be regarded as lucky." Now that my sister is here, he is not sitting honestly! ”
Siqing didn't speak either. Luo Quan rushed at her again, "Princess Siqing is really skilled, but you have to be careful, his black knife is not a vegetarian...... In a kind way to remind the princess not to be careless, or to rest the double knife on his neck safely. ”
Simo had already seen a jet-black handle knife on Gao Jun's body, and at this moment he was sitting cross-legged, and said, "What kind of knife is that, it's a little different, bring it to me and take a look." ”
Luo Quan didn't dare to go over, and motioned for a warrior next to him to fetch it. The samurai stepped forward, across the tall table, and leaned out to grab the sword. Who knew that his hand was also caught, and when he was about to get up, Gao Jun inadvertently pressed it on the scabbard, and the samurai only felt that what he had caught in his hand was not a knife, but the thick roots of a thousand-year-old tree!
Due to inertia, the samurai's upper body was no longer stable, and his feet slipped and fell into the high table.
I saw Gao Jun's hand holding the scabbard flip, and the oolong knife was quickly raised, and the scabbard was gently pressed against the samurai's chest, which had already tilted forward. Gao Jun said, "People are in the knife, how can they let people play with it!" With that, the samurai staggered back a few steps before he could stand firm.
Simo was also shocked, and from this move, it can be seen that this kid is at least in strength, and he is by no means comparable to any samurai in the tent. He couldn't help but wonder: although the sister Siqing's knife skills are quite exquisite, how did she capture such a strong person. Seeing that there was no tension on Siqing's face at all, it was even more strange that her two knives were still carelessly placed in the sheaths beside her.
Simo pressed the doubts in his heart, and just said casually, "If you don't let me see it, I won't look at it, anyway, sooner or later, it will be in my pocket...... I have heard that you are a bit brave enough to take so many men to my territory to graze cattle, and to steal 200 of our good horses...... It's just that there is a good saying: if you mix in the desert and eat what you shouldn't eat, you will vomit it sooner or later. Lord Gao, have you ever thought of asking someone to send a message to Liu Zhongmu to send my horses back? If you send it back, maybe you still have your life. ”
Gao Jun said, "When I came, I saw the deputy pastor of the Xizhou Jiaohe Shepherd King, and learned that the three hundred good horses he brought this time were also robbed in the desert. ”
Simo was asked by Gao Jun, a little annoyed, who would dare to do this in this big tent? Don't say he's a prisoner. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly heard an old man outside the tent shouting for an eye, and the sound of the samurai guarding the door.
Luo Quan shouted, "Who's there?" Let him in. ”
A fifty-year-old man came in from outside the tent, with crutches under his armpits, one leg dragged to the ground, and the other injured leg that had just been clamped by Gao Jun with a wooden plank was used as a good leg, almost rubbing in. A young boy timidly pulled the old man's shirt with his hand.
It seemed that the sergeant at the tent door pushed in, and the old man faltered as soon as he entered the tent. Everyone in the tent expected that their ancestors and grandchildren would fall to the ground if they couldn't support their kung fu in the blink of an eye, and Siqing was also secretly shocked in his heart, who knew that Gao Jun was sitting behind the table, and jumped to the old man's side with a flick of his leg, and stretched out his hand to support him, "Old man, what are you doing?" ”
The old man saw that it was Gao Jun, and his eyes were happy, "Engong, the Great Khan didn't embarrass you, right?" Our two are here to intercede with you. After that, he looked at the top of the big tent and wanted to kneel, but he was held by Gao Jun and couldn't kneel, so he had to put his hands up and say, "Great Khan, our ancestors and grandsons are the Jieli tribe under the command of the Great Khan, and my son Beilihu was also the standard-bearer of the guards in front of the Great Khan's tent." ”
Simo's face softened slightly, "I see, you don't raise your legs at home, what are you doing here?" ”
The old man pointed to Luo Quandao, "Great Khan, I took my little grandson out, and was led by this adult, and broke my legs with an iron mace on the way, and I happened to see Princess Siqing take this benevolent father, it was he who helped the old man straighten his bones, and gave him silver dry food, so that he could come back...... I don't know what crime this benevolent duke has committed, but I am willing to exchange my life for his life, and ask the Great Khan for mercy! ”
Luo Quan didn't wait for Simo to speak, and said first, "You want to enter the Tang Realm privately, I wronged you?" ”
Gao Jun helped the old man, slowly walked to his table and sat down, and then asked with a smile, "Vice Prime Minister Luo really has strict laws, and he can do what he hasn't done so strictly, I don't know what to do if he has already done something private like Prime Minister Luo, how to deal with it?" ”
Luo Quan was stammered when asked, and Gao Jun said again, "As a pastor in Liuzhong, you don't do things well, trample on my bricks, stab my group heads, kill your accomplices, rob Liu Mucheng's daughter, treacherous and ruthless, and do bad things, but you came here to punish a good person!" The Jieli clan taking in a villain like you is really no different from being blind. ”
Simo saw that this Gao Jun was shocked by his skills twice, and his words were also coherent, and he had a mighty and unyielding posture at a young age. On the other hand, Deputy Prime Minister Luo, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like what this person said, he was not a good bird, and after listening to Gao Jun's last sentence, he also had nowhere to put his face, and said in his heart that the matter he had set to destroy the Datang Ranch would probably not have any good results.
Simo looked at his sister again, and looked at Gao Jun as if no one was around, completely forgetting the battle between the words and swords in the tent, how could he be a little ready for battle! I also understood a little bit in my heart, and secretly said that this girl was going to arrest people, and she was obviously handing herself over to others! I couldn't help but think of the hatred of my second brother again, and I was very conflicted.
At this moment, I only heard a loud report from someone outside the tent, "Great Khan, the envoy to Chang'an, Prime Minister Tuli, has returned!" ”
Simo hurriedly shouted, "Come in!" ”
Tuli entered the big tent, and sat down on the right side of Luo Quan's before saying, "Great Khan, I went to Chang'an in vain, and I was reprimanded by the Tang Emperor." It's just that I don't know what kind of character that Liu Zhongmu's pastoral supervisor is, how old he is, he can not only come and go freely in the army of ten thousand horses, but also write such good poems, he is really a civil and military all-rounder! ”
Siqing answered, "Prime Minister, this person is far away in the sky, close at hand, I have already captured him." ”
Tuli Shun Siqing's eyes saw Gao Jun, and he hurriedly got up from his seat to Gao Jun's seat, and bowed deeply, "Tuli really didn't expect that Gao Daren would be so young and promising. No wonder Gao Ge Lao spoke so hard in the court, and he was offended and offended a lot. ”
He said to Siqing again, "Princess, did you really 'capture' him?" That's a blessing for me! ”
Siqing's face turned red when she heard this, and she stopped talking. It must be known that desert women are open-minded, especially when it comes to love and hate. These days, Siqing sees him as handsome, upright, decisive, kind, literate, and martial, and he is the ideal person in his imagination.
The love for Gao Jun has gradually developed in her heart unconsciously, and when did those gnashing hatred be squeezed into a remote corner, they can no longer occupy the right place in her heart. Think about what the second brother did, people can't be resurrected after death, how can they compare to their own life's events?
The so-called women's big girls don't stay, and the women go outward, there is a more realistic portrayal here!
Gao Jun didn't know what it was like for Tuli to go to Chang'an, and he didn't say much, just a little return gift. And as soon as Simo heard it, he knew that Prime Minister Tuli's status in his eyes was by no means comparable to Deputy Prime Minister Luo, and seeing that Tu was so humble, he knew that things had changed abruptly.
hurriedly circled the conversation back and said, "Even if you are a good person, you shouldn't be treated like this." When the time came, we would arrange a banquet immediately, and we would talk slowly with Mr. Gao. ”
After a while, things were all over the table, mostly barbecued mutton, shredded beef tendon, cheese and milk wine. Siqing spoke to Gao Jun for the first time in the big tent, and seeing that he didn't mean to move on those knives and forks, he asked softly, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Simo picked up his wine glass, listened to the girl's words, and asked the same.
Gao Jun said, "Khan doesn't know, I have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and I have long been accustomed to rice and vegetables, and I am afraid of the meat of this word...... These knives and forks are also afraid to open their mouths. ”
Simo smiled and told the kitchen to get another meal, Luo Quan got up and went out after hearing this, no one in the tent cared, only the old man sat next to Gao Jun and whispered, "Engong, the bad prime minister is out." ”
Gao Jun didn't pay attention, and when he heard the old man, he didn't understand what he meant. Siqing heard it, and then quietly got up and went out.
Luo Quan went out of the tent first, saw that there was no one behind him, went to his tent first, and took out a paper bag from the corner of the mattress. This is the last time he poisoned Wang Ren, he bought too much arsenic, thinking that it would be of great use, and he could take people's lives without effort, so he brought it to the desert.
He took the paper bag and went back to the kitchen, where he saw two cooks busy.
He walked up and ordered, "I can't get used to eating those wine and meat in the Khan's tent, you can quickly make me a rice stir-fry and bring it to the big tent." "The cook knows the new Vice Prime Minister Luo, and said in his heart, you have less wine and meat here, and you come to ask for meat in the middle of the night, and today there are many people to set up the score! But he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he responded in a row.
Luo Quan took out the arsenic bag and put it on the meat table and said, "This is my unique condiment, you want to put a little bit in the rice and the dish, you can't forget it!" ”
Luo Quan came back and sat down, secretly waiting for the food to come up. He knew that Gao Jun hated himself to the bone, and he originally saw that Simo had a hatred of killing his brother in his heart, and he would not spare Gao Jun lightly. Who knew that as soon as Tuli came, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, in case they talked about what tacit understanding they had with each other, and their own good? The wealth that I have gained by wandering for half a life must not be wasted!
After a while, I saw Siqing and the two cooks enter the big tent one after the other, the two cooks took the food and went straight to Luo Quan.
Luo Quandao, "I asked you to do it for Master Gao, send it there quickly!" "The hand is pointing high.
The two brought the rice over, and when they saw that it was empty, they put down the food and the dishes and chopsticks. Who knew that just as he was leaving, Siqing said, "Don't you leave in a hurry, let me ask you, who asked you to cook the food?" ”
One of the cooks said, "Princess, it was made by Prime Minister Luo Cheng." Prime Minister Luo Cheng said that he was not used to eating wine and meat. ”
Gao Jun already understood a little, and he didn't move his chopsticks, and heard Siqing say, "Then why don't you bring it to Prime Minister Luo Cheng?" ”
Luo Quan was secretly bitter in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Princess, this meal is really made for Lord Gao, I was afraid that the cook would not care, so I said that I wanted to eat it." ”
Another cook hurriedly distinguished, "Why don't you care?" If you want us to add condiments, we haven't forgotten to add them to our meals. ”
When Gao Jun heard this, he looked at Luo Quan's pale face coldly, and he didn't speak, he casually took out one of the pheasant feathers used for decoration on the table and rubbed it twice on his fingers. He pulled out the blade of the oolong knife by an inch, put the pheasant feather on it, and blew it lightly, and the tip of the feather was already broken.
Luo Quan hurriedly said, "Nonsense! I don't know what to do! ”
