Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Public Trial (Part II)
The terrifying threat of the potion, coupled with Zhao Chen's promise that he could still open up the mutual market and weigh the pros and cons at that time, finally agreed to Zhao Chen.
In fact, this is very beneficial to the current Turks, he is anxious to sit back in the position of the Khan, whether it is Yinshan or Yudu Jinshan, he needs to gather the Turkic forces as soon as possible.
And the advice that Zhao Chen gives him now is largely equivalent to the fact that Datang is helping him to sit firmly in the position of Khan, but he only needs to take people to withdraw from Yinshan and return to Yudu Jinshan, and never step into Yinshan again.
Datang needs a sufficient force for the time being to return to Yudu Jinshan to confront Xue Yantuo, Tuli naturally understands this in his heart, but even if he knows Datang's purpose in his heart, Tuli has no second way to choose now.
After convincing Tu Li, Zhao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he came out of the tent, he looked at the gray sky above his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't help but show a smile.
The Tang Dynasty does not have enough manpower to cross the desert, and it is impossible for Yudu Jinshan to let Xue Yantuo continue to grow, so he can only let the puppet of Tuli go back.
It only takes two years for Datang to pacify all the areas of Yinshan, and the rest is Yudu Jinshan, and whether Tuli is alive or dead at that time is just a matter of Datang's words.
When Tuli left the tribe and came to Dingxiang with five hundred people, he had great anger in his heart, but after what happened just now, the anger in Tuli's heart had disappeared, and all that was left was to silently follow Zhao Chen to Dingxiang.
Dingxiang City.
It's noon now, but it's noon. But the sky was still gray, and there was a cold air everywhere. When the cold wind blows, it rolls up a lot of snow particles. It makes the already cold weather even colder.
And in this cold weather, at this moment, Dingxiang City is crowded, and everyone's eyes are silently staring at the temporary high platform in Dingxiang City.
Today is the day of Jieli's real public trial, a public trial that has caused a sensation throughout the grassland, after a delay of several days. Finally on this day, belatedly arrived.
At this time, on the high platform that everyone was watching, Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and others were all seated on it, and everyone's faces were full of contemplation.
And, on the opposite side of the high platform, there is also a makeshift wooden shelf, just, that wooden shelf. Only a very small number of people who know about it, after taking a glance, will have a strange color in their eyes.
However, most people's eyes. But after taking a look, he will look away and will not pay attention at all. Such an ordinary wooden shelf.
Around the high platform, there were 1,000 Xuanjia troops led by Duan Zhixuan himself. The high platform is surrounded and everyone is fully armed. The cold armor was on his body, and the face exposed under the helmet was full of murderous aura.
In addition to the Xuanjia Army here in Gaotai, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army were also transferred into the city today, and at this time, they were arranged on several roofs in the city, and a crossbow machine was placed in front of them.
The cold arrows are aimed at the crowd below, and once there is a commotion, these arrows will be sent to the crowd below at the first time.
"The hour is almost up!" Li Jing, who was on the high platform, frowned and looked at the crowd of tribes below, took a slight breath, turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji on the side, and spoke.
"Let's get started!" Hearing Li Jing's words, the eldest grandson Wuji hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Du Ruhui on the side also took Li Jing's words at this time, stared at the bottom, and spoke.
"Then begin!" The eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally sitting there, glanced at Li Chengqian when he heard Li Jing and Du Ruhui both speak, and waited until Li Chengqian also nodded, then he stood up as he spoke, holding a yellow silk in both hands, and walked to the front of the high platform.
At this time, the crowd below had been staring at the high platform, until this moment, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly got up and walked to the front desk with a roll of yellow silk, the crowd suddenly became a little commotion.
"With Jieli!" The eldest grandson Wuji held Li Er's holy oracle, stood on the high platform, glanced coldly at the bottom, and then, facing Duan Zhixuan, who was heavily armed below, nodded and signaled.
"With Jieli!" Eldest Sun Wuji's voice fell, and Duan Zhixuan then turned around and said loudly behind him.
"With Jieli!"
"With Jieli!"
“……”
After Duan Zhixuan, there was another lieutenant general of the Xuanjia Army, learning the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and spoke loudly behind him, and after that, it was like a microphone, passed down one by one, and the entire Dingxiang City reverberated with a roar with Jieli.
At this moment, Zhao Chen was standing on a two-story earthen building opposite the high platform, just like the Flying Tiger Army, he was also fully armed, with a steel knife in his waist.
With the passing of the order of the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhao Chen's eyes were staring downward, and after a while, his eyes suddenly locked on the few people in the crowd, who were obviously a little emotional, and said to Cheng Chumo beside him: "Pay more attention to those people later, once there is a change, don't worry about killing!" ”
"It's okay!" When Cheng Chumo heard Zhao Chen's words, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, but then his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he still looked at Zhao Chen with some worry and asked.
"It's okay, it may be someone who is closer to Jieli!" Zhao Chen's eyes were still calm, and when he heard Cheng Chumo's words, he replied calmly.
Everyone has their own cronies, especially people like Jieli, even if they are captured now and are about to die, there are still people who are unwilling to fight for Jieli.
In fact, such a situation had been expected before, so when he really saw these people appear at this moment, Zhao Chen seemed quite calm.
After Cheng Chumo heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately left the tulou and walked to the crowd below with a few people!
And just when Cheng Chumo took people and just left, he suddenly heard a sparkling sound of carriages and horses outside Dingxiang City, and then, there was an ox cart, escorted by a team of strong soldiers, slowly drove into Dingxiang City.
It's just that this ox cart is different from other ox carts, the top of the hood has long been removed, and a cross wooden frame has been erected inside the original carriage.
On the cross wooden frame, Jieli, who had not been seen since he was captured and brought to Dingxiang, was straightened at this moment, tied to the cross wooden frame, and swayed all the way into the sight of the crowd with the shaking of the ox cart.
"Khan!" Hearing the sound of the ox cart, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look behind them, and when they saw the figure of Jieli on the ox cart, the few people who had just been noticed by Zhao Chen immediately looked at Jieli with emotion and shouted.
Jieli's image looks a little embarrassed at the moment, his hair is scattered, and the leather robe on his body has long been stained with dirt, since he was taken back by Zhao Chen and other materials such as tents, these days, Jieli has spent all his days in the dungeon.
"Woo..."From entering Dingxiang City, seeing so many people appearing in front of him at once, the expression on Jieli's face couldn't help but be slightly stunned. When he heard the shouts of those people, Jieli's eyes suddenly looked at the source of the sound.
Then, after seeing the faces of those people clearly, Jieli suddenly became excited, shouting and screaming, and his body tied to the cross frame struggled even more violently.
It's just a pity that no matter how desperately Jieli struggles, he can't break free from the rope that binds him, and his shouting is also because of a rope on his mouth, and when it finally comes out, it becomes a 'woo' cry.
"Despicable Tang people..."Those people, who were obviously Jieli's cronies, looked at Jieli who was embarrassed on the ox cart at the moment, and suddenly seemed to be out of control, and scolded emotionally: "Let go of Khan!" ”
Several people were shouting, and they had already rushed to the ox cart, and they were all sturdy people, rampaging through the crowd, which made the entire scene extremely chaotic for a while.
"Let go of Khan!" A Turkic warrior who rushed to the front slammed away the man in front of him, grimacing his face and roaring, and rushed to the ox cart that was close at hand.
"Anyone who dares to disturb the scene, kill!"
However, just when this fierce Turkic warrior was about to rush to the side of the ox cart, a Tang general suddenly appeared from his side.
On a dark face, with an indifferent expression, a murderous sentence was dropped from his mouth, and before the Turkic warrior could react, a snow-bright sword light flew diagonally.
When the sword flashed, I heard a 'poof' sound, blood splashed, and the Turkic warrior who was still rushing forward just now had his head cut off with a knife.
And almost at the same moment, several other Turks all suffered the same treatment, but in the blink of an eye, the head on the neck was cut off by the Tang soldiers who suddenly appeared on their sides.
"And the one who dares to disturb the order?" Cutting off the head of the Turkic warrior with a knife, Cheng Chumo's legs were slightly open, holding the blood-dripping steel knife high, looking at the crowd with murderous eyes, like a killing god, and asked loudly.
As soon as Cheng Chumo's words came out, the crowd that had just been in turmoil suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Cheng Chumo and the Tang soldiers around him who had already aimed their bows and crossbows at them, but no one dared to stand up.
Before the riot broke out, it was quickly suppressed, and the ox cart that had just stopped there because of the riot continued to drive slowly towards the high platform after the riot had subsided.
When the ox cart passed through the crowd and headed towards the high platform, the people from all tribes came with wide eyes and looked at Jieli on the ox cart silently, with some indescribable looks in their eyes.
Anyway, the person in front of him used to be a legendary figure on the grassland!
However, at this moment, this legendary figure is tied to an ox cart, and his embarrassed appearance is not even as good as an ordinary herdsman.
Sighing, sighing, shocked or depressed, as the ox cart passes by these people, what is left for these people is such complex and indescribable emotions! (To be continued.) )
