Chapter 19: Tragic Figures
Three days is not a long time, it is not a short time, although Zhao Chen is anxious to wait here, he also knows that three days is already very urgent for the entire Xiyuan tribe.
These tribes live in the mountains all year round, one tribe and one tribe, some are separated by a mountain, at the beginning, Zhao Chen said that he wanted to move south, and asked each tribe to send some people from the tribe in advance, so he waited for seven or eight days before waiting for all the tribes to send people to arrive.
Waiting is a hard thing to do, especially when your heart is full of anger waiting to be released!
After three days of anxious waiting, at noon on the third day, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly appeared from the direction where they came, and then a dense crowd appeared in sight.
Tens of thousands, not going this way, but rushing towards this side with all their might, tens of thousands of people are rushing, and smoke and dust are billowing in their sight.
Zhao Chen stood on a dirt slope, saw this spectacular scene from a distance, and finally showed a smile on his face in the past three days.
These people who came here were all from various tribes, and they had only heard of Zhao Chen's reputation at all, but they had never seen Zhao Chen himself.
At this time, I rushed over and saw a young man from the Tang Dynasty standing on a dirt slope, looking at it from a distance with a smiling face. One by one, he stopped not far from Zhao Chen, and before he could catch his breath, he knelt on the ground, raised his hands and shouted in unison.
Zhao Chen looked at the tens of thousands of tribal warriors kneeling down in front of him, and a sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart, these people are the most courageous warriors of various Xiyuan tribes, with these people, a mere Chen Longshu is nothing!
In the camp. Several large pots of meals had already been prepared, and as soon as these people heard Zhao Chen's call. Immediately set off from the tribe, not daring to stop on the way. All the way to the rush.
"Chu Mo, you stay here and wait for me for a few days!" Zhao Chen arranged for tens of thousands of tribal warriors who had just rushed to eat, and he came to the tent, sat next to Cheng Chumo, looked at Cheng Chumo on the couch and said: "Wait for me, solve the bastard Chen Longshu, and come here to pick you up immediately!" β
"Brother Chen. Do you really want to put Chen Longshu to death? Cheng Chumo's face looked very hesitant, even if he was for Chen Longshu in his heart, he was eager to kill him as soon as possible, but he hadn't forgotten that Chen Longshu had a hat on his head that was a Tang Dynasty assassin!
"Don't worry!" Zhao Chen knew what Cheng Chumo was worried about, so he didn't say anything, just patted the back of Cheng Chumo's hand and spoke. He stood up and walked outside.
People like Chen Longshu are just using each other with Datang, and Chen Longshu wants to use Datang's prestige to regain his Chen power. And Datang is also using Chen Longshu to make this place a local state in Datang.
But the result? As a result, there is a kind of atmosphere on the surface. Behind the scenes, there are other little ninety-nines.
If Chen Longshu is really loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then this time the wingmen moved south. It should be in favor of raising both hands, which is what he has been doing.
But in fact, it is. Chen Longshu not only disagreed, but jumped out, and did not hesitate to use this drastic way to prevent the bureaucrats from moving south, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!
Chen Longshu must die, Cheng Chumo is worried that once he kills Chen Longshu, it will provoke Li Er's anger, Zhao Chen can't help but sneer, Chen Longshu dares to lead someone to attack him, then Chen Longshu must die.
As for whether it will arouse Li Er's anger after killing Chen Longshu, Zhao Chenjue doesn't have to think about this for the time being.
The tens of thousands of tribal warriors in the camp had already eaten their meals, and at this time, they stood in the camp one by one, looking at the tent with their eyes. This time they came out to fight, and they already understood this when they came out of the tribe.
Zhao Chen came out of the tent, and tens of thousands of tribal warriors knelt down silently to Zhao Chen in unison. Zhao Chen was stunned, but then looked at the old man on the side.
This time to attack Chen Longshu, the old man naturally couldn't follow, since the old man couldn't follow, then there was a very headache that had to be solved.
Zhao Chen needs a wingman who can understand the Tang dialect by his side, otherwise, so many people can't understand Zhao Chen's words, and they can't unify the command at all.
As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately turned to the crowd and said something loudly in the native language, and after a while, he saw a dark-skinned young man in the crowd raise his hand.
"What's your name?" As soon as he saw the young man raise his hand, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at the young man happily and asked with a smile.
"Returning to God's words, so... A certain house is called Muqiu! When the young man heard Zhao Chen's words, his face instantly turned purple, and he was stunned for a long time before he said. Although, it's awkward, but it's really a Datang dialect.
When I asked, I learned that this young man named Muqiu was originally from the Jinyuan tribe, because he made a living by collecting medicine all year round, and dealt with Tang medicine merchants, and over time, he also learned a little Tang dialect.
Now it's okay, with Mu Qiu interpreting by the side, Zhao Chen can take these tribal warriors to Nanfu to settle accounts with Chen Longshu!
Nanfuzhou, although this is a local state in the Tang Dynasty on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, however, it is actually in name only, and the so-called state assassination history is just the ears of the deaf - the goods!
There is no city in Nanfu like the mainland of the Central Plains, and the so-called city is just like the Qingxiyuan tribe, surrounded by thick logs, which looks like the guard camp of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty.
Naturally, the so-called state yamen is even more nondescript, it is still a stilted building like an ordinary tribe, with two floors above and below, and the upper floor is inhabited, and there is no furnishings inside.
Since this place was broken by the Tan Palace, the Yamen has been empty, and the Tan Hall usually stays in another house, and this so-called Yamen has been sitting here so lonely, no one cares about it.
However, it is different now, the yamen, which has been vacant for a long time, was swept out early this morning, and sitting inside at this time was Chen Longshu, who was wearing a Tang Dynasty assassin robe.
It was noon, the sunlight outside the door passed through the gap in the attic, mottled and sprinkled in the attic, Chen Longshu was wearing an awkward Tang robe, and the whole person sat there in a daze, constantly recalling everything that happened during this time in his mind.
It's like a dream!
First, he killed Tan Dian in a daze, thinking that he had recaptured the Chen clan's power in Luo Dou Cave, however, who knew that he heard that divine envoy again, and wanted to move the entire Xiyuan tribe south.
So, after that, he listened to Feng Zhidai's words and promised to take the tribal warriors of the Feng and Chen families to attack and kill the divine envoy on the way to the south!
As a result, he failed!
This kind of result is actually not unusual, the five thousand troops of the Tan Temple were unable to get that divine envoy at the beginning, can he?
Tan Dian failed, and then he was ambushed by him, and now he has also failed, so what is the end that awaits him?
That divine envoy will definitely send someone to take revenge on him, and if it is him, if he has such unpredictable power, he will definitely not let go of any enemy who dares to kill him!
The letter to Feng Xuan has been sent, and when Feng's uncle and nephew looked for him, they had already explained that whether this matter was successful or not, the three families must advance and retreat together, and no one was allowed to break the covenant.
Therefore, Chen Longshu is waiting for Feng Xuan's soldiers and horses to arrive at this moment, as long as Feng Xuan's men and horses converge with him before the divine envoy brings people over, then he can force back, the people and horses of the various Xiyuan tribes!
Agonizing waiting! Time passed little by little in this torment, Chen Longshu stared blankly, and the sunlight on the floor slowly moved.
At a certain moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, Chen Longshu, who was staring blankly at the sun on the floor, heard the footsteps at first glance, his heart tightened suddenly, and he raised his head and looked at the door with a worried look.
The person who ran in from outside the door was Elder Amu of the Tanyuan tribe, a Xiyuan tribe that had been loyal to the Chen clan from beginning to end.
"Chieftain!" As soon as Elder Amu entered the room, he looked at Chen Longshu with a pale face, and when he spoke, there was a look of fear in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Who's coming?" Chen Longshu had obviously guessed who was coming from Elder Amu's expression, but he couldn't help but asked again.
"It's the oracle!" Elder Amu stood a few steps away from Chen Longshu and said with a look of fear: "There are a lot of people here, almost, all the warriors of the Xiyuan tribe have brought!" β
"Where's Feng Xuan?" When Chen Longshu heard Elder Amu say that Zhao Chen had brought almost all the warriors of the Xiyuan tribes, his face turned pale, and then he looked at Elder Amu with an anxious expression, and asked about Feng Xuan's whereabouts.
Hearing this, Elder Amu shook his head silently at Chen Longshu, and in the depths of his eyes, a sadness suddenly passed. It's all at this time, Feng Xuan hasn't appeared yet, so it can only mean one problem, Feng Xuan is not coming!
The young master of the Chen family in front of him is so naΓ―ve! The first time he was deceived by Tan Dian, as a result, he lost the entire Chen family's power, and the second time he was deceived by Feng's uncle and nephew, what might he lose?
Outside the city, Zhao Chen stood in front of the crowd, looking at the wooden city in front of him, looking over the 'city wall' and looking at the defenders on the city, with a murderous aura in his eyes, and said to the wooden mound beside him: "Tell them that I only want Chen Longshu's dog life, and ask them to obediently hand over Chen Longshu, otherwise, no one here will want to escape!" β
When the young man on the side heard this, he didn't dare to miss a word that Zhao Chen commanded, and according to what Zhao Chen said, he immediately shouted loudly to the people in the city and shouted in the indigenous language.
The people inside, at this time, had long been panicked because Zhao Chen had surrounded them at once with so many people, and then when they heard Mu Qiu tell them loudly that they would annoy the divine envoy later, and the people here did not plan to let it go, the people inside suddenly became flustered.
