Chapter 98: Rift (2)

At the same time, in General Xi's tent, there was a secret envoy of Xiongnu Shan Yu who was speaking ill of Touman beside General Xi in order to drive a wedge between them as much as possible.

"Brother Yi, that man led his soldiers and horses out of the camp again, and he didn't say hello to you." The envoy pretended to complain: "He is becoming less and less interested in you, and I am afraid that one day he will be in trouble." ”

"He is also to exterminate the bandits, besides, the ancestors of the past have words, and the military affairs are subject to their decisions, so I am not good to interfere!" General Ji suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said slowly.

"I heard that your ministry has business dealings with those treacherous and cunning merchants of the Zhao Kingdom, is it true?" The envoy asked again.

"The ancestor personally decided to communicate with Zhao State, thanks to this, the development of our department has been thriving recently!" General Qi said proudly.

"But I heard that Touman is solely responsible for the trade with Zhao State, and the people of Zhao State only recognize Touman and not you, is it true?"

"In the past, it was Touman and Zhao Guoren who secretly traded goods, and Zhao Guoren knew him but didn't know me, and it was natural for him to be fully responsible!" General Qi explained lightly.

"But his relationship with the people of Zhao is getting better and better, aren't you afraid that under the influence of the people of Zhao, he will rebel and stand on his own?" Shan Yu Mi envoy alarmist.

"Probably not, Touman's loyalty to the Lord, I see it!" General Xi denied Shan Yu's secret envoy's speculation, but his tone was not so firm.

"I don't know if you've heard the words of loyalty in the Central Plains." Shan Yu Secret Envoy continued to divide the way.

"I want to hear about it!" General Qi made a gesture of please.

"There is no absolute loyalty in the world, the reason for loyalty is only that the price of betrayal is too great!" Shan Yu Mi recited aloud.

"That's too absolute!" General Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile.

"That's all I say, I hope Brother Yi can be more vigilant!" Shan Yu's secret envoy continued: "I hope that one day Brother Yi will not regret it! Leave! ”

Walking out of the tent, a subordinate stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master Secret Envoy, how is General Xi?" ”

"Still stubborn and refusing to let go!" Shan Yu's secret envoy shook his head and continued: "It seems that it is impossible to persuade him to change his mind!" ”

"So what are we going to do?" The subordinate asked blankly: "Before leaving, we promised Shan Yu, and if we can't complete the task, it's a dead end!" ”。

"It looks like we have to take a risk!" Shan Yu Mi said confidently: "Whether you succeed this time depends on you!" ”

"Me?" The subordinates looked dazed, but they didn't know that one of his feet had already stepped into the ghost gate!

"Mr. Jiang, it's a coincidence that you came, this year's head sheep banquet has just been prepared, and the young master of my family ordered me to invite you to participate, please come with me!" Touman sincerely invited Jiang Shangrendao.

"I have heard the grandeur of the head sheep banquet for a long time, Jiang Mou has been yearning for it for a long time, so I would like to thank your young master here!" Jiang Shangren thanked him: "Brother Touman, please!" ”

In the past period of time, with the support of Zhao State, the strength of Zamu and the Ministry has not only increased greatly, but also the population has increased several times, plus the new lord has just ascended the throne, so this time the head sheep banquet is quite grand, and Jiang Shangren feels the joy of the festival in a distant place. Touman also seemed to be infected by this prosperous festival atmosphere, and kept introducing the great changes in the tribe to Jiang Shangren.

Approaching the patriarch's tent, the sound of singing and dancing, laughter, and silk and bamboo became clearer and louder, mixed with the rough essence of the grassland, deducing a kind of rhyme that the Central Plains Dynasty did not have and would not have. Jiang Shangren couldn't help but sigh: "The exotic style is really extraordinary!" ”

As soon as Jiang Shangren's words fell, a Hun suddenly burst out of the tent beside him, shouting: "Touman, take your life!" ”

Whether it was Touman, or the guards behind him, no one expected that there would be an assassination near the main tent of the clan, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while. At this critical moment, Jiang Shangren decisively pushed Touman away, and raised his chest to meet the stabbing sword.

"Assassin! There are assassins! Touman, who was vigorously pushed away, also reacted quickly and shouted loudly.

The guards behind him also came to their senses in an instant with Touman's shouts, and they quickly controlled the assassin, but Jiang Shangren had already fallen to the ground with his sword.

"Save him alive and find out who is behind it!" Looking at the red and bloodthirsty eyes of the corporal under his command, Touman decisively gave the order.

The mournful cry of Touman alarmed the people who were feasting in the main tent of the tribe. However, a few minutes later, the new patriarch Zha Yansheng led a group of people in power in the tribe to the scene. At this time, the doctors of the Zhao and Hungarian tribes were cooperating to treat Jiang Shangren.

"Although the assassin's sword was highly poisonous, fortunately, Mr. Jiang was wearing soft armor, which could block the assassin's sharp blade. Fortunately, the power of the assassin's stabbing is not large, if he has a little more force, I am afraid that the blade will pierce the skin, and the poison will kill Mr. Jiang! After some exchanges, the doctor reported to Zha Yansheng.

When Touman heard this, he was shocked, and he angrily kicked the assassin down, and asked angrily, "Say, who ordered you to kill me!" ”

As soon as Touman's words came out, all the nobles were shocked, and they suddenly figured out the ins and outs of the matter: "It turned out that he wanted to assassinate General Touman, but Mr. Jiang just hit the deputy car by mistake!" At this moment, the belated General Ji came to the scene in a hurry.

"General Qi, save me quickly, didn't you promise to save my life?" The Assassin shouted at the sight of the general. For a while, everyone looked at General Xi, their eyes full of suspicion.

General Qi glanced around, then bowed down and saluted Zha Yansheng, "Lord, I don't know this assassin, and this assassination has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Mr. Xi, I believe in you, but ......," the young Zha Yansheng said with little confidence after glancing at the adults around him.

"I would like to swear to the god of Kunlun that this assassination really has nothing to do with me." General Ji said emotionally: "If what I say is false, please God will destroy my whole family!" ”

"I'll definitely find out the real murderer!" Hearing this, Touman glanced at General Yi, and then said coldly: "No one who conspired to harm me will be spared!" ”
