Chapter 158: The Khan's Wrath (1)
Ten days later, in the tent of the headquarters of the Turkic Khan at the foot of the southern Yinshan Mountain, Wang Huaqiang had changed into Turkic clothes and knelt on the ground, waiting for the reception of Dulan Khan.
Since convincing the An Sui family that day, the two of them have been discussing how to meet Dulan Khan all the way, during which they have reported that there is no one in the canyon, there are traces of battle everywhere, and there is blood stained on the stones, but there is no corpse left, presumably both the dead and the captives have already been taken away by the Datou Khan.
The spies carefully searched the terrain and found that several long tunnels had been dug into the ground on the desert side, and there were secret passages on the mountain, until the secret door exit under several large rocks halfway up the mountain, and the exit of the entire secret passage was on the other side of the mountain, thousands of meters long.
It seems that An Xinggui has been operating here for a long time, hollowing out the middle of the mountain, and the archers of Datou Khan are also lurking in the secret passage in the mountain early, and only when the archers under An Suiyu go down the mountain can they drill out of the secret passage and seize the favorable terrain.
Wang Huaqiang no longer has time to care about the life and death of Duan Da and others, now the most important thing for him is to use his tongue to protect his life in front of Dulan Khan, along the way, he and An Suijia repeatedly discussed various details of the meeting, and understood Dulan Khan's temper, habits, and even every habitual action, now the two are difficult brothers, and the two grasshoppers strung on a rope can only be in the same boat through thick and thin.
An Suiyu's injury was cured two days ago, but she still couldn't ride a horse or walk too far, Wang Huaqiang was too busy to meet her recently, and after the last incident, she seemed to be deliberately avoiding Wang Huaqiang, and the two hadn't seen each other since that day.
Three days ago, this cavalry unit finally came to the Khan's headquarters after crossing thousands of miles of prairie, and according to the plan discussed by Wang Huaqiang and An Sui's family, An Sui's family first came forward to get in touch with Princess Dayi, and she came to persuade Dulan Khan to see Wang Huaqiang.
Wang Huaqiang knelt on the ground, listening to the roar and roar from behind the tent, Dulan Khan was like an angry lion, trying his best to vent his anger, he estimated that his intestines were repentant at this time, hating himself for greedy for the benefits of this iron ore, and he was arrested by the Sui Dynasty, but he was afraid that the messenger of the Sui Dynasty would be here in a blink of an eye.
Princess Dayi was still trying to explain at first, but every time she opened her mouth, she was yelled back by Du Lan at a volume ten times higher, and even began to have a few sounds of whipping people and Princess Dayi's screams.
More than a dozen fierce and vicious Turkic warriors in the big tent, with scars on their faces, as strong as bears, were looking at Wang Huaqiang coldly, there was no trace of anger in their eyes, as if they were looking at a dead man, these people have seen Du Lan's roar, but they have not seen him as angry and excited as now, if nothing else, this guy who is kneeling here now basically can't escape the ending of the five horses and the corpse, and it may even be worse, he will be pierced by ten thousand arrows.
Wang Huaqiang's head was in close contact with the ground, he had made full mental preparations before coming, but he was still a little surprised by Dulan Khan's gaffe, and now he began to worry that Dulan would not give him a chance to speak at all, and he would cut himself off directly, and the smell of this group of Turkic warriors because they had not bathed for a long time and ate too much beef and mutton made him even more disgusted.
Du Lan's voice suddenly sounded like thunder: "What are you still doing in a daze, drag this Central Plains barbarian who is too late to cook in a cauldron for me!"
The surrounding warriors shouted in unison, and stepped forward to arrest Wang Huaqiang, Wang Huaqiang's heart was crossed, he laughed, stood up directly, and raised his hand: "You don't need to drag me, I'll go by myself, it's just that my Wei Chiqin died in the hands of a stupid person, and I am really a little unwilling." ”
Wang Huaqiang turned around and walked forward slowly, and sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Dulan Khan's loud voice sounded behind him: "Okay, you Central Plains barbarian, you dare to scold Ben Khan?" ”
Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at this time, he had to pretend, he must suppress Dulan Khan in momentum, as long as you have a trace of fear, then you will definitely die.
So Wang Huaqiang didn't look back, and said coldly: "Aren't you stupid? ”
Dulan Khan stomped his feet in anger and roared: "Central Plains barbarian, you have repeatedly insulted Ben Khan today, believe it or not, Ben Khan has now skinned you first and smoked your bones?" ”
Wang Huaqiang sneered: "What can you do if you crush my bones and scatter ashes?" What good is it but to hide your fear and cowardice? Yongyu Lu, you are just a coward, the Ashina clan should be ashamed of a descendant like you, no wonder your Lao Tzu didn't pass on the sweat throne to you back then, because he had already seen this, so he would rather give it to Luo Hou than give you this biological son. ”
After Wang Huaqiang finished speaking, he strode towards the outside of the tent, his heart beating wildly, because he knew that whether this life could be saved or not was all in the thought of Dulan Khan.
Du Lan's voice was lowered, but it revealed a strong killing intent, like a jackal roaring: "Central Plains barbarian, you make it clear to me, where is Ben Khan a coward and a fool?" If you have a point, I'll let you go, and if you're just to save your life, I'll cut out your trouble-causing tongue before killing you. ”
Wang Huaqiang was happy in his heart, but there was still no expression on his face, he looked directly at Dulan Khan, who was facing him with yellow eyebrows and yellow beard, lion's nose and eagle eyes, and several scars on his face were beating, and said calmly: "I heard that a real warrior can only protect his own woman, how can he use a woman as his punching bag!"
Dulan Khan, you have no way to deal with foreign enemies, you can only take out your anger on Kedun, who is bent on fighting hard for the survival and strength of the Turks, what is this not a coward?
As for saying that you are stupid, it is even more obvious, you killed me, how are you going to deal with the Sui envoy's door-to-door dignitaries? If you don't hand me over at that time, then the envoy of the Sui Dynasty will decide that you are the mastermind of this matter, and when the time comes, he will definitely unite with Datou Khan and send troops to destroy you, not to protect the people who can help him, but to do this kind of painful and hateful thing, what is it if you are not stupid? ”
Dulan Khan's eyebrows moved, these words reached his heart, especially the last paragraph, which made him suddenly feel a little cold in his back, he groaned for a while, sat back on the tiger skin chair in the big tent, waved his hand to the guards on both sides, and said in a deep voice: "You all go out, Ben Khan has something to say to this barbarian." Keep an eye on the outside of the tent, and let no one come in. ”
After more than a dozen Turkic warriors who were full of commotion left, Wang Huaqiang took a breath of air greedily, feeling much fresher than just now, and even his brain became a little clearer, he looked at Dulan Khan, who was sitting on a tiger skin chair like a lion, wrapped in various beast skins, and with an eagle's tail hair on his head, first pressed his hand to his chest, saluted him, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Great Khan, I was offended in my words just now, I'm sorry." ”
Dulan Khan roared: "I didn't listen to you apologize, I want to listen to you come up with a solution, you just reminded me, I can't kill you now, otherwise the people of the Sui Dynasty will think that I am the mastermind, but I can cut off your hands, cut off your tongue, and hand you over to the people of the Sui Dynasty, so that's it." ”
Wang Huaqiang snorted disdainfully: "Great Khan, have you ever thought that if the people of the Sui Dynasty want to beat you, do you need an excuse?" Need a reason? The matter of trading iron ore was originally ordered by you, you just cut me into a stick, and then pulled out my tongue, and the people of the Sui Dynasty will also be involved in Princess Dayi and An Tutunfa, because Princess Dayi's canonization edict and handwritten letter are in their hands, do you want to cut them into sticks and send them out at that time? ”
Dulan Khan was speechless, like a deflated ball, and suddenly collapsed on the chair.
Wang Huaqiang followed closely and said: "Great Khan, this time we were plotted by villains, it can be seen that this matter is the Sui Dynasty, Datou Khan and those profiteers in Guzang City have colluded early on, they just want to force you to make mistakes, force you to hand over the righteous princess with your own hands, a great Khan, if you can't protect the talents who come to you in distress, and you can't even protect your own women, then how many people will continue to follow you?" ”
