Chapter 75: Ordered in Danger
Xie Hong gathered his messy broken hair, coughed lightly, and his face turned red.
He suddenly said to Pei Shiju: "Pei Shangshu, this move is inappropriate!" β
Facing Pei Shiju's puzzled expression, Xie Hong continued: "Pei Shangshu, although Bai Langjun is talented, he is not a person from my Xia Kingdom, so naturally he can't be in charge of the soldiers of my Xia Kingdom!" β
Bai Muye almost jumped!
Your uncle-
I know you old boy can't be trusted!
If you have a backer, sell me?
He felt the nunchucks around his waist tickle.
Pei Shiju was extremely surprised, looked Bai Muye up and down again, and muttered, "Isn't it from my Xia Kingdom?" That's ......"
Before Bai Muye could think of a statement, Xie Hong glanced at him and continued: "Bai Langjun is the envoy of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and this time he made a special trip to my Zhaozhou Inspector Qi Shanxing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!" β
Nima β
Bai Muye's cold sweat was about to come down, and his bony hand had already pressed on his waist.
Pei Shiju's eyebrows twisted out a few deep wrinkles, how could he still have the appearance of a kind old man!
"Qi Shanxing promised the King of Qin to hold the jade seal to descend to the Tang Dynasty, but he reversed himself, although Bai Langjun had the responsibility of supervision, he did not report directly to the King of Qin, but has been giving advice, wanting to help Empress Cao regain power! He is giving Qi Shanxing a chance and wants him to fulfill his promise, which is also his kindness and wants to give the people of Zhaozhou a chance to live! β
Bai Muye pressed the hand of the nunchucks and put it down again, his eyes flashed a few times, and he looked at Xie Hong fixedly.
Xie Hong was a little uncomfortable by him, knowing that he had misunderstood himself, so he stubbornly picked up the important words and finished speaking.
"I am the one who received the envoy of the King of Qin, and I should be responsible for this matter! Now that Qi Shanxing is dead, his promise is naturally uncountable, and he should let Bai Langjun go back and talk to King Qin, just say that even if my Xia Kingdom is a dead country, it can't easily succumb to others! β
Bai Muye was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.
O master! Your speech level has improved again!
Uncle, you've picked yourself clean!
You not only guarded Wei Tianzhen from them, but also lifted my identity to the sky.
This nonsense actually grasped the initiative first.
Listen, listen!
Emissary? The one who received the messenger?
Two shady guys who are doing behind-the-scenes transactions suddenly become so tall?
You're bullying Qi Shanxing, that dead ghost can't speak, right?
If Pei Shiju is unwilling to surrender, as the only spokesperson of the Xia State at present, he will not dare to touch me, otherwise Li Shimin will lead his troops to destroy the Xia State in minutes; If he, Pei Shiju, wants to surrender, maybe he will take the opportunity to hand over the soldiers at hand to me, after all, he thinks that the only one who can lead troops against Liu Heimin in the city now is me!
Zhaozhou can now be said to be the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the king of Qin and the Turks, let Pei Shiju choose, who will he choose?
Pei Shiju is not only not stupid, but also more shrewd than a fox!
He paused for only three seconds before making a decision!
"Woohoo! Bai Xiaolang turned out to be a Tang envoy? Disrespectful, disrespectfulβ"
Bai Muye subconsciously glanced at Xie Hong, and Xie Hong winked at him.
Looking at Pei Shiju's exaggerated tone, Bai Muye felt that he didn't need to listen to the words anymore.
Xie Hong can be said to know Pei Shiju very well, and even his slippery body is inspired by Pei Shiju.
He is slippery, but Pei Shiju can be said to be the ancestor of slippery!
As soon as Xie Hong cocked his tail, Pei Shiju roughly knew what was going on. But what can you know? The reality is like this - the Xia Kingdom is finished.
The problem now is that if we continue to allow the Turks to invade, we will be more complete; If you take refuge in Datang, maybe you can breathe a sigh of relief and have a little dignity.
According to Xie Hong's thoughts, normal people would choose the latter, and now that King Xia is still in the hands of King Qin, what can he do if he doesn't hold this envoy? I believe that even if Empress Cao is here, she will make the same decision, and besides, this messenger also saved her life!
Xie Hong guessed correctly, Pei Shiju didn't have to think about it at all, and directly extended a warm welcome to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. As for the back-and-forth between the two opposites, it is estimated that they didn't see it!
Bai Muye immediately showed the demeanor of a Tang envoy, indifferently but humble.
"Pei Shangshu is polite, although I came on order, I can't see innocent people suffering, so if I do something unruly under impulse, I hope Pei Shangshu Haihan!"
Pei Shiju didn't think he was unruly, he just thought that this person's way of speaking was very strange - although he could understand it, it just made him feel strange!
Pei Shiju sighed: "My Xia Kingdom is at the end of the crossbow today!" Although there is Empress Cao, after all, she is a female streamer, and she only cares about King Xia at present, and she has no intention of political affairs at all! Sorry......"
Xie Hong interjected at the right time, Mingli was complaining to Bai Muye, but in fact, he was talking to Pei Shiju and the surrounding soldiers.
"At present, my Xia Kingdom is the target of everyone, and while King Xia is away, the surrounding small countries are all eyeing each other."
"In the battle of Tiger Prison, the national strength of our Xia country was greatly injured, and it was no longer able to resist the invading enemy. Just like today, a few thousand Turkic soldiers dare to burn, kill and loot in the capital of my Xia country, if this matter of Qi Shanxing will spread today, won't everyone come to my state to get a piece of the pie? β
"If Bai Langjun really pities the innocent people of Zhaozhou, please temporarily take my position as the general of the Xia Kingdom, and retire this group of Turks before making plans!"
Bai Muye is stupid!
Awesome, uncle-
No wonder you stopped me from asking Pei Shiju to ask for troops just now, and now you take the initiative to beg me to lead the troops, it seems that I am much heavier!
Look at the eyes of these generals around you! Treat me as a savior!
First ordered to occupy a C position in danger, and then find a way to collect a wave of people outside, won't I, the Tang envoy, take the whole audience?
So he quickly made a thoughtful look.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Pei Shiju arched his hand at him: "The old man also has this intention, please Bai Xiaolang lead the troops to retreat from the enemy for the sake of the people of Yuzhou!" β
Bai Muye was really curious about one thing: "Xia Guo...... Is there no other city? Every city has a guard, right? Can't bring some back? β
Pei Shiju smiled bitterly: "Knowing that King Xia was defeated, Caozhou Fan Yuan was the first to establish himself as the king, and other ministries followed suit, but it didn't last long...... Due to their lack of strength, they were either annexed by others, or they were stuck in the city, and they couldn't protect themselves, so how could they have the strength to come to Zhaozhou to support? β
So, Xia Guo is in name only?
Haven't I been a lifesaver?
"In that case...... Isn't Zhaozhou isolated? β
Pei Shiju bowed: "Exactly!" β
Bai Muye looked around, and saw that the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom around him stopped what they were doing at any time, and even a few of them stood up straight, looking at him with burning eyes, and his heart suddenly burst out with pride - it has nothing to do with the position, just for this era of Jin Ge Iron Horse!
