546. The tradition of the Great Food Sect
"It's boring!"
Chong Yanchong threw the grass stalk in his hand and muttered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Indeed...... Winning before the war started, it made people feel bored. Yang Zaixing smacked his mouth twice regretfully, and then glanced at Chong Yanchong: "The general does not allow me to fight with you, I originally wanted to compete with you to kill the enemy, whoever kills more Western thieves wins, the result is good, as soon as the Western thieves heard that we were coming, they actually burned Yanzhou and fled!" ”
"I wasn't scared away by you, it was King Ji who scared them away, but I heard the captives say, Li Qianshun, the puppet king of the Western Thief, heard that King Ji was coming, and he was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his troops. Although the prison army sent by the Seljuks shouted that they were going to fight a decisive battle with the Huaxia army, it was not a in the end? ”
Both of them laughed, and they couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Fanren.
"It's not necessarily that he's afraid of me, he's afraid that this place is not conducive to them giving full play to their military advantages." was laughing, but he heard Zhou Quan's voice behind him.
Zhou Quan likes to spend time with young officers, firstly, to infect them with youthful vitality, and secondly, to bring them closer to each other and help him discover talents.
Yang Zaixing's entry into his army was actually an accident. Yang Zaixing's father was admitted to the Jinshi in the political and five-year examination, and later served in the south, during the Manichaean rebellion, his father was unfortunately killed, and Yang Zaixing, who was only a teenager, was determined to avenge his father, sneaked into Hangzhou to assassinate Fang La, just when the guards recovered Hangzhou, he was excited and joined the guards.
As a soldier in the escort army, he made some contributions, and he also caused a lot of trouble, and he entered the lecture hall the year before last, and now he is sent out, although he is still only a small captain, but he will soon be promoted.
Zhou Quan also knew that this young man who won the three armies of the brave champion loved him very much and looked at him differently.
After saluting Zhou Quan, Yang Zaixing said: "It's to scare His Highness away, our Huaxia Army was created by His Highness, he is afraid of the Huaxia Army, he is afraid of His Highness!" ”
"It's not me who is afraid, it's you, how many enemies can I kill alone, and now in this situation, do you think I still have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Zhou Quan crooked his mouth to the side, and Chong Yanchong couldn't help laughing. Zhou Quan will always be accompanied by more than 20 guards, only more, not less, it can be said that he will not leave an inch, in this case, it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to come to the battle in person.
This is inevitable, in the past few years, "revenge" has never stopped the assassination of Zhou Quan, all kinds of assassins emerge in endlessly, several times a year, although most of them have not been solved within a hundred steps of Zhou Quan, but this also makes the people responsible for Zhou Quan's safety very nervous, and the protective measures arranged for him are extremely tight.
"They are right, if His Highness still needs to risk the arrows himself, then what is the use of us people?" Yang Zaixing said seriously.
Zhou Quan could only smile.
While they were talking, Yue Fei came on foot and saluted Zhou Quan: "Your Highness, the Seljuks have sent a messenger!" ”
"Oh?"
Zhou Quan was a little surprised, the Seljuks would send envoys?
At this time, five days had passed since they had recovered Yanzhou, and the Fourth Army had regained the city without much effort, and had been busy cleaning up the ruins of the city for the past few days - in the next big war, Yanzhou would be a distribution center for logistics materials, and there would be enough warehouses to store food and military supplies. However, the scout team composed of the Western Army and the Huaxia Army has been sweeping around, and the scout war between the two sides has not stopped. At this time, the other party sent an envoy, but I don't know what the intention is.
"Let him come to me." Zhou Quan pondered for a while and said.
It was not an envoy who came, but a contingent of envoys.
The envoy at the head is also a beard, but he looks white beard and white hair, and he looks a little elegant in a black robe. At first glance, this guy looks very old, but if you look closely, you will see that his skin is tight and shiny, and his eyes are clear and bright, in fact, he is in the prime of life.
The envoy couldn't get close to Zhou Quan's body, and before approaching Zhou Quan, he was searched first, and even untied his robe to confirm that there was no hidden weapon under the wide robe.
He saluted Zhou Quan, and then said, "Our great Sultan has brought me a gift to the King of the Sea, and please allow me to present it." ”
The so-called gift is two camels, and on top of the camels are two women with light veils and masks. They were tightly wrapped, so they were not allowed to be brought to Zhou Quan, who glanced at them from a distance, probably with the hint of the messenger, and the two women quietly lifted the corner of the veil, revealing two beautiful faces.
They saluted Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan's eyes were unmoved.
In addition to the two beautiful girls, there were gems held on jade plates, gold daggers inlaid with precious stones, and ornaments carved from ivory...... Etcetera.
In particular, those precious stones are held in jade basins, blue, red, green, and sparkling for half a basin.
"Please borrow a torch." The Seljuk messenger said.
Someone lit a torch, and under the light of the torch, the gemstone sparkled even more with a breathtaking light.
If others saw it, they would be dizzy, but in front of Zhou Quan, it would not be the case at all.
What is the use of a jewel the size of a child's fist, and can a dagger of pure gold be used to kill an enemy?
Therefore, Zhou Quan only glanced at it, and then shook his head: "Just a gift? ”
The envoy showed admiration on his face: "Worthy of being the king of the sea, our Sultan has said that if your Excellency sees these gifts and shows joy, then the next thing is to announce to your Excellency that in ten days there will be a decisive battle in the north of the Hengshan." But if you have no interest in these beautiful gems, then the Sultan has a letter for you to look at. ”
Zhou Quan pouted, and the messenger took out the letter, and someone took it and checked it before handing it over to Zhou Quan.
The letter was written in two languages, one twisted and twisted, looking like a deformed bean sprout, and Zhou Quan certainly couldn't understand it. The other is Chinese characters, which should have been translated by Li Qianshun.
The content was quite polite at first, and it also showed appreciation, and what was said was the words of the envoy, Zhou Quan was able not to be tempted by treasures, and proved to be a heroic figure with great ambitions.
But the next content, Zhou Quan read it and sneered.
He was asked to convert to the Great Food God Cult, to sacrifice artillery and the latest gunpowder formula, to "live in harmony" with Li Qianshun, Wushu and others, to take his eldest son as a hostage and send him to the Seljuk Sultan as a close attendant, and to pay Seljuk 50,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 horses of silk every year......
Surrender so much, and the Sultan will give him the power to rule over the territory.
If they refused, the Seljuk Empire's iron cavalry would break through all the defenses, the warrior's arrows would break the hair of the rebels, and the scimitar would cut off the heads of all the unbelievers in the Great God Eater.
"Huh." After reading it, Zhou Quan handed the letter to Yue Fei beside him.
After Yue Fei saw it, his eyes were cracked!
"I have heard for a long time that these people do not respect their ancestors, have no benevolence and morality, do not know how to educate, and only know how to deceive and deceive, but now it seems that it is true, their sultan, could it be that he worshiped that god and was faint, and dared to say such a big thing to His Highness?"
Yue Fei was just angry after reading it, but he didn't say anything, for him, one action is worth a hundred words. But the next person to read the letter was Bai Xianxian, who was not forgiving, and said with a smile after reading it.
The envoy did not understand Chinese, but the interpreter who followed him did, and after hearing this, the interpreter's face was as pale as dirt, and the messenger asked a few words, and the interpreter translated Bai Xianxian's words back.
The Seljuk messenger pouted: "We, the Sultan, are the lords of the kingdoms of the descendants of the Prophet, and have all the power of the earth, and if you dare to disrespect our Sultan, you heretic, will surely be sent to Hell......fire."
He pointed at Bai Xianfeng and scolded, approaching step by step, Bai Xianfeng was not afraid, and the guards next to him also stepped forward to stop him. But just as he was about to stop him, the Seljuk messenger suddenly lowered the torch in his hand and set his robe on fire!
This change made everyone stunned, and at this time, the messenger ignored the fire on his body and turned to pounce, not at Bai Xianxian, but at Zhou Quan!
Zhou Quan was surrounded by guards in front of him, and it was impossible to get close to Zhou Quan's side with this pounce. Therefore, Zhou Quan's eyebrows didn't move, but he immediately realized that something was wrong: this Seljuk envoy was not stupid, how could he be so confident?
"There is fraud!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Boom!"
The sound of connection rang out, there were shouts, but finally there was a thud of a kick on the body.
It was Yang Zaixing who kicked this kick.
His strength is extremely great, even when Li Baosheng is willing to bow down, and he reacts quickly, this kick kicked the Seljuk envoy directly out, flying eight or nine steps away, and then he heard a "bang", and the Seljuk envoy had already exploded into several pieces before he landed on the ground!
Gunpowder!
This guy actually hid the gunpowder on his body, and when he searched his body, although he touched it carefully, he mainly checked hard objects such as daggers and short blades, but he didn't expect to use gunpowder!
Chong Yanchong, who was next to Yang Zaixing, also sensed that something was wrong, but when he wanted to block the assassin for Zhou Quan, Yang Zaixing had already kicked the person away, and when he saw the fireball that the assassin had exploded, Chong Yanchong's face was very ugly.
A big living person can kick so far, at least in terms of strength, he is too far behind Yang Zaixing. In addition, he also has a big gap in reaction.
But Yang Zaixing himself, his face did not change, as if he had just done something ordinary.
Everyone looked at Zhou Quan, and the soldiers also came over here, Zhou Quan lined up the guards who were blocking him, and when they saw that he was unharmed, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered.
Zhou Quan looked at the wolf not far away and smacked his lips.
The gunpowder used by the other party was not very powerful, and unless he was really close to him within three steps, it would not do him any harm. What made Zhou Quan smack his tongue was that this person who believed in the Great Food Sect really had a tradition of suicide bombings.
It's just that the Seljuk Sultan who planned this move, this pattern is inevitably too small, and it is ...... Judging from the reactions of the surrounding Chinese soldiers, the Seljuks are only afraid that they are digging a pit for themselves.
"Tell the soldiers not to leave prisoners and prevent this kind of accident." Zhou Quan decided to fill the pit with some soil, so he understated the tunnel.
