Chapter 42: The Righteous King?

"Tuli!"

"It's really Tuli!"

When Li Chengqian's voice fell, all the people outside were at this moment, looking at the tent where Tuli was located, and there were complicated emotions fluctuating in their eyes.

are all looking at the tent, Tuli is different from them after all, he is Jieli's nephew, although the prince of the Tang Dynasty said it by name, but there is still some disbelief in his heart.

However, until this moment, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Tuli really come out of the tent, and then there were surprises from the crowd.

Tu Li's fists were clenched, and he heard all kinds of surprises in his ears, and even, in this surprise, he could hear one or two voices from time to time, scolding him.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the grassland, the betrayers have always been criticized, not to mention, Tuli is still Jieli's nephew, such a 'betrayal', in the eyes of the people of these tribes, makes them hate more than the Tang people.

Tu Li's teeth were clenched, and in the face of the resentful eyes of the people around him, he really couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, and when he walked towards the high platform, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the tulou.

Just now, when he was in the tent, Tu Li also heard Zhao Chen's roar from the tulou, so at this moment, bearing the resentful eyes of the people around him looking at him, Tu Li looked at Zhao Chen in the tulou with the same resentful gaze.

It was because of Zhao Chen that he first threatened him with that terrifying potion, and then came up with a suggestion that seemed to be very useful to him to help him gain a firm foothold in Du Jinshan.

Tuli only thought at first that Datang did this just to keep Yudu Jinshan from falling into the hands of Xue Yantuo, so he did not hesitate to open a mutual market. Help him become the master of Yudu Jinshan.

Therefore, he said the words of agreement, but he was thinking in his heart, as soon as he arrived at Yudu Jinshan, he immediately stepped up to consolidate his power, and even. did not hesitate to secretly form an alliance with the Xue Yantuo people.

When the power is strong enough, he will take people and lead the Turkic athletes to cross the desert and regain everything that the Turks have just lost from the hands of the Tang people.

It's just a pity that this idea just popped up in his mind, and before he could put it into action, Datang suddenly gave him a slap in the face. Suddenly Tuli's slightly hot head was knocked down with a stick, and he woke up fiercely.

In fact, when the mind becomes sober at this time, there are some things that Tuli can figure out without even wasting much effort.

Zhao Chen has two terrifying potions in his hands, and. It was already shown before his eyes.

That potion was terrifying, and Tuli believed it. Once Zhao Chen really decided to destroy the entire grassland, it would not be impossible.

But the problem is that since Zhao Chen has already taken out the potion, the final condition is that he should return to Yudu Jinshan and sit firmly in the position of Khan of Dujinshan. For this reason, Datang will even help him.

Such conditions are simply absurd, but when Tuli heard it at the time, he was stunned and didn't react. There is light left in his head, and after returning to Yudu Jinshan in the future, how to use the help of Datang to develop rapidly.

I only blamed myself for being stupid, I only saw the immediate benefits, but I didn't see the deep-seated things in this matter, so he should have been deceived by someone to come here and put him on a hard beating.

At this time, since the matter has come to this, it is obviously useless to regret it, or think that once you leave here, it is better to contact the people of these tribes as soon as possible and clarify this matter!

When he thought so, Tuli couldn't help but take a deep breath secretly, and his eyes were at this time, and Zhao Chen on the tulou met together.

At the moment when the four eyes met, a look of anger quickly flashed in Tu Li's eyes, but the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth were slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his face when he looked at Tu Li below.

It's just that when Tuli saw the smile on Zhao Chen's face, for some reason, a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his heart, and this feeling was like being targeted by a demon.

The gallows was in front, and when Tuli walked to the gallows, he first needed to pass through the crowd, so after glancing at Zhao Chen on the tulou, Tuli's gaze quickly retracted.

It's just that while his gaze was retracted, his sharp eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he couldn't figure out why he felt uneasy for a while.

Jieli's corpse had been lifted onto an open white felt by two soldiers at this time, and the rope that bound his hands and feet had also been untied by two soldiers.

From a distance, Jie Li lay flat on the white felt, as if he was asleep, but when he walked on the gallows, he would find that Jie Li, who was lying on the white felt at this time, had a hideous face, his eyes were wide open, and his face still carried the fear of struggling before death.

Tuli stood beside Jieli, looking down at his feet, his face was hideous, and in his round eyes, Jieli was obviously with a look of fear, his teeth were clenched, and his fists in his sleeves were clenched together.

The man in front of him used to be like a mountain to him, and he was often overwhelmed.

In Tuli's heart, this is a strong, savage, and strong man, and even sometimes unreasonable and arbitrary, when he is happy, he can talk and laugh with you, and when he is unhappy, he will pick up a leather whip and whip you without hesitation.

Even he has been whipped by this man many times, so after accumulating over time, Tuli is full of hatred for this man.

This kind of hatred accumulated until last year's failed campaign against the Tiele tribe, and after being whipped again, it finally broke out completely, and directly led the tribal warriors to meet with Jieli soldiers.

However, no matter how much he resented this man in his heart, at this moment, looking at Jieli who was lying motionless at his feet, with frightened eyes, looking at the sky above his head, Tu Li's heart, at this moment, it was a little complicated.

After all, even if I hate this man in my heart, he is my uncle after all!

The most important thing is that the more he resents this man, the more he worships this man in his heart, and worships him like a father!

The sky was overcast, and there were all kinds of eyes around him, disdainful, disdainful, indifferent, and even mocking, but Tuli didn't care, and squatted beside Jieli who was lying quietly on the white felt. Begin to converge Jieli's corpse.

And just when Tuli squatted down to collect Jieli's body, Li Chengqian, who was on the high platform, had already returned to his position, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just retreated, walked to the front.

"Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear!" The eldest grandson Wuji's gaze looked down, especially on Jieli on the gallows. After pausing for a moment, he spoke: "Jieli has repeatedly violated the Tang Dynasty and provoked wars, and now he has been punished!" ”

When these words fell, Changsun Wuji's eyes looked at the crowd below, paused slightly, and then said: "However, this time I am in the Tang Army. can successfully defeat Jieli and capture Jieli, which cannot be forgotten, and the people who assisted Datang from it! ”

Assist?

Originally, below, looking at the crowd of Tuli's uncle and nephew on the gallows, the expression on his face when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji. I couldn't help but be stunned.

According to what they know, it seems that this time the Tang Dynasty went on a northern expedition. From beginning to end, it was only the Tang people themselves, and the only thing that surprised them was the sudden appearance of the divine weapon on the Evil Yang Ridge.

But apart from this, I have never heard of it, in this war. There are other tribes that are involved in this war!

But just now, they clearly heard clearly, the eldest grandson Wuji on the high platform was actually saying that someone was obviously involved in this war. Such words are no less than a thunderbolt that explodes above their heads.

Tuli, who was lowering his head and collecting Jieli's corpse without distraction, heard the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji from the high platform, as if he had heard a terrifying word.

The person who had lowered his head raised his head suddenly, his face was extremely pale for a moment, and his eyes looked at the eldest grandson Wuji on the high platform in horror, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji has not finished speaking, Tuli already understands what the eldest grandson Wuji is going to say next!

What a conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy!

From the very beginning, he fell into Zhao Chen's trap, which they had planned early on, just waiting for him to get in, and he didn't even leave him a way back.

Thinking of the scene when Fang Cai and Zhao Chen looked at each other, it is no wonder that when he saw the smile on Zhao Chen's face, he felt an uneasy mood for no reason.

Now that I think about it, that smile is actually a kind of smug smile that I have seen others fall into the trap from the inside out.

Thinking of this, Tuli put down Jieli's corpse and stood up from the ground, his eyes were full of extreme anger, his teeth rattled, his fists clenched, and the muscles on his face were jumping.

Everyone will be angry, being bullied by others so strongly, even if Zhao Chen has such a terrifying potion, he doesn't care about the sudden profit at this moment!

"What do you want to do?" Just when Tuli stood up, under the gallows, a familiar face suddenly appeared, it was Dugu Mou, who had been by his side since he came to Dingxiang City.

Dugu Mou, who listened to it, stood under the stage at this time, raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a light smile on his face, looking at Tu Li, who was about to be carried away by anger, and said: "Think more about Master Hou's words!" What you need now is not to fall out with Datang, that will make you die faster, with the support of Datang, if you want to become the male lord of the grassland, there is no problem! ”

As he spoke, Dugu Mou chuckled, his eyes suddenly showed a cold and murderous aura, and he looked at Tuli and said: "But if you annoy Datang, not only will you not be able to live, but the entire grassland will become a desert!" ”

"Despicable!" When Tuli heard Dugumou's words, he lowered his head suddenly, staring at Dugumou with resentment, and almost roared.

"That's a coward!" Dugu Mou didn't care about Tuli's anger, he still looked at Tuli with a smile, and said: "You just don't want to betray the grassland, but have you thought about it, even if you don't betray, with the current power of the Tang Dynasty and the ability of the Hou Ye, can't you find someone who is willing to betray the grassland?" ”

"Think about it!" As Dugu Mou spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath and said: "There are two roads, one is to be the king of the grassland, and the other is to be infamous, and finally die without a place to be buried!" ”

After Dugu Mou finished saying this, he no longer opened his mouth to speak, but retreated to the side, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of threat to look at Tuli.

"This person is Tuli!" Just when everyone was shocked and inexplicable, the eldest grandson Wuji on the stage suddenly turned his eyes to Tuli, and said loudly: "Without the assistance of Tuli Khan, Datang would not have accurately found Jieli and captured Jieli in a very short time!" ”

As soon as Eldest Sun Wuji's words came out, it was simply a thunderclap, which exploded above everyone's heads, and the entire scene was filled with a neat sound of gasping cold air.

"Tuli, you actually betrayed the Khan!"

"Tuli, are you still from the grassland?"

“……”

After a slight pause, all kinds of angry scolding and accusations suddenly sounded at the scene!

It's a pity that as the object of angry scolding and accusation, Tuli at this time stood on the gallows, looking straight at Zhao Chen, who was also looking at him on the tulou over there.

When he saw Zhao Chen, the muscles in the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump slightly, because, even from a long distance, he could see clearly that where Zhao Chen was standing, there were two bottles of potions on the earthen wall.

And Zhao Chen's face was still the same as before, with a light smile, looking at Tuli from a distance, as if waiting for Tuli's decision.

Seeing such a scene, Tu Li's fists, once again, clenched tightly, his teeth clenched, because of the excessive force, the muscles on both sides of his cheeks were beating extremely fast.

And when he looked away from Zhao Chen, he happened to meet him again, Dugu Mou's cold gaze below, and Dugu Mou's right hand on the hilt.

Do you want to be the king of the steppe, or do you want to be infamous and die without a place to be buried?

The words that Dugumou said just now are still echoing in my mind, and then look at Zhao Chen in Tulou at this moment, and Dugumou who is just under the stage, ready to do something to him anytime and anywhere.

Standing on the gallows, Tu Li couldn't help but raise his head, took a long breath, clenched his fists, and slowly opened weakly with this deep breath.

"So, Your Majesty has a will!" The eldest grandson Wuji on the high platform, his eyes have been staring at Tuli, until this moment, seeing Tuli's suddenly released fists, he looked at Tuli, and announced loudly: "Tuli is well aware of the righteousness, and his contribution is indispensable, so he is specially given Tuli as the king of Datang Guiyi, leading the people of his tribe to return to Jinshan, Yudu, to guard the territory for Datang Town, and inherit it from generation to generation!" ”

'Poof! ’

As soon as Eldest Sun Wuji's words came out, the reactions of others were put aside for the time being.

On the tulou, Zhao Chen, who was originally staring at the bottom, suddenly heard that Li Er had turned the title that originally belonged to Jieli, turned it around, and gave it to Tuli, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and he almost burst out laughing on the spot. (To be continued.) )
