Chapter 20: It is a coincidence that the Turkic envoy Qiuzi is very brave and fierce in the Tang Dynasty (I)
And at this banquet, the attendant's advice in Bai Suva's ear was to inform the Western Turk envoy to this city of Ilulu. In the face of such a coincidence, Bai Su naturally felt quite tricky. If the envoys of the Tang Dynasty knew that they were still disconnected from this Western Turkic lotus, it would be difficult to explain. So, in order to avoid the suspicion of Hengsheng, seeing that the time happened to be about the same, he hastily ended the state banquet under the pretext that he was not strong enough to drink.
Later, after some discussion with the prime minister, the Western Turks were not placed in the post house. Instead, it was placed in a relatively quiet courtyard not far from the post house.
In fact, there was no need to discuss this matter at all, before the banquet began, the Western Turkic envoy had already arrived in this city of Ilulu. And the Prime Minister Nari has already placed them in this place, and this discussion is just a passing scene for the Prime Minister to go.
Because the Prime Minister of the country also knows how powerful it is. That being said, the idea of leaning towards the Western Turks is deeply rooted for many reasons. Therefore, when the Western Turkic envoys arrived at this courtyard, Nali had already received them secretly. With the use of gold, silver and jade silk by the Western Turk envoys, the feelings of inclination towards the Western Turks became stronger and stronger.
As their conversation deepened, an idea also germinated in their hearts: since the envoy of the Tang Kingdom is also in this Illulu City, it is a pity to kill and kill, and it is a pity to let them go, it is better to create some trouble for them, let them lose this national gift to the nations, and see how they continue to send envoys.
So there was such a thing: originally they wanted to take advantage of the fact that they were all attending the state banquet to go to this inn to rob it; Unexpectedly, several groups of spies sent to step on the point have attracted the attention of this post, and they have also increased their troops to guard. Seeing that not only could they not make a move at all, but they seemed to have suffered a loss, they could only retreat.
In the face of such an embarrassing situation, the personal attendant of the Prime Minister of the country Nari communicated with this post. It's a pity that it's when they finish talking. Unexpectedly, this state banquet ended early, and Wang Xuance and others returned to this post house; However, this Yicheng also understands the stakes, so he has a reminder of Wang Xuance as above.
Although Wang Xuance and the others had a very happy conversation with the Prime Minister Nali at this state banquet, after this incident, although Yicheng did not understand it, they had already maintained a wariness of this Prime Minister Nali.
Then again, when he knew that things were not done, the prime minister of the country Nari in order to stabilize Wang Xuance; After thinking about it, I took advantage of the drunkenness and found another excuse to come to this inn......
Hearing that the minister of state was coming, Wang Xuance and others were also quite surprised, not long after the banquet ended, why did the minister come again? Even so, he still went to the door of this post house to greet the Prime Minister of the Guizi Country in accordance with the proper etiquette......
After the two of them met the etiquette at the door of the post house, Wang Xuance instructed Zhou Zeng, Chen Maocai and others to go back and rest first, and let Xiaoliu wait here. So, Zhou Chen and the others took the thirty brothers and went back to their respective rooms to sleep peacefully.
This scene not only made Prime Minister Nari see it really, but also made a man in black hidden in the night not far away. Taking advantage of the lights of the post house, but seeing this Nari holding his hands behind his back and making a gesture behind him, the man in black instantly understood what he meant.
Wang Xuance greeted the state minister Nali in the pavilion, and while courteously asking him to sit quietly, he instructed Xiaoliu to serve tea in person.
Although after the infiltration of the state banquet, both of them were drunk. But Nali still said politely: "I took the liberty to visit tonight, and asked the envoys of the kingdom to atone for their sins." Just because after returning home, I can't sleep because I am very drunk, so I want to talk with you and learn more about the two countries, for the sake of permanent peace and mutual benefit in the future. ”
"The prime minister came at the right time, brother, I am also drunk, and I can't sleep. Thank you and the king for your kind intentions in setting up such a sumptuous state banquet to entertain us and others. That being the case, let's talk about it" I saw that Wang Xuance also replied to the minister quite casually.
So, the two of them talked about it for a long time. Although the two of them chatted very energetically and happily, it did not affect the sleepiness of Xiao Liu next to him in the slightest.
Although in this post house, the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious; But outside this inn, there is an undercurrent surging, surging. The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fires, only to see that in this dark night, more than a dozen black-clothed people with scimitars appeared in the post house, the material storage place of the Tang Mission.
It is precisely because of these men in black that they discovered this quietness. So I sneaked in "secretly". When they were about to finish the robbery, they burned it with a fire to hide the traces of the robbery. But I never thought that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and suddenly the torches lit up, not only illuminating the entire yard, but also illuminating everyone's figures. Zhou Chen and the others, with more than a dozen sturdy men from the Tang Mission, had already surrounded them with a smile......
These dozen or so men in black, seeing that they have been surrounded, and then seeing that the two sides are equal in number; So under the signal of its leader, he prepared to have a tough encounter, strong against strong. So, as they slashed with their knives, Zhou Chen and the others also came up with their brothers.
But listening to the sound of swords colliding, as well as the deafening sound of shouting and killing, not only stirred in everyone's hearts, but also filled the entire post house, floating to the house where Wang Xuance and the Minister of State Nali chatted freely.
When he saw the lights outside, he felt as if he had succeeded, so he was quite happy. But this joy was fleeting, because he found that in this firelight, there were bursts of shouts and killings. It immediately became clear that something was wrong, and that the matter might have been leaked.
was originally going to stabilize Wang Xuance's mood, but in an instant, he became uncertain and anxious. So he hurriedly asked: "What's going on, go out and see."
As a result, as soon as he got up and left the table, he was stopped by Wang Xuance again: "Don't worry, don't worry, for the safety of the prime minister, let's just drink tea safely, I believe these Tang warriors are enough to deal with it!" At this time, Xiao Liu listened, when he saw the lights outside, he was already a lot more energetic, and when he heard Wang Xuance's words, he was quite attentive, while boiling tea, while explaining to them......
And this prime minister, Nali, is not easy to say anything in the face of these words. can only force a smile and accept them. Although he was here, he had never heard everything that Wang Xuance and Xiao Liu told him. The heart has long since run outside. When I heard this scream, I couldn't stop sweating on my forehead......
And this scene was also seen by Wang Xuance in his eyes and remembered in his heart......
