Chapter 321: Domineering Obstruction
After sending someone to greet the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, Yelutu decided to return to Daliao. For him, the real biggest contender for this marriage is actually the sudden rise of the eldest brother Yeluqi. But what about now?
It is clear to everyone that the current situation in Western Xia is complicated. First of all, Zong Zan was injured and almost lost his life here. Now there is another matter of the uncertain life and death of the Lord of the Great Song Dynasty. Who was the next to be killed, Jerutu agreed that it was not clear.
It can be seen that Zhao Xiaoxi's domineering is also the attitude that Xixia is currently showing. Jerutu knew very well that not only did he not have a chance to compete with the colt, but his brother, who had no feelings, had no chance.
To be precise, the princes of various countries came over this time, just to accompany the prince to study. The Western Xia held this marriage campaign more to show fairness, and at the same time to tell the countries that they had formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty.
If he stayed here, Yelutu could not guarantee that he would not become a hostage. I was detained here by Western Xia, so it's better to leave early. Don't fight for anything, and he doesn't think he's too interested in the colt.
As the youngest son of Emperor Da Liao's favorite, what kind of woman did Yelutu think he needed was useless? Why put yourself in danger for the sake of a foreign daughter? It's better to go back early and make another plan.
Compared with him going back, he can continue to enjoy the treatment of the little prince, and he is favored by his father and queen mother. The future of Da Liao is bound to be in his pocket. And Yeluqi lost his identity as a colt, so he must have missed the opportunity to compete for the throne.
Even in Yelutu's heart, he returned to Daliao at the end of his trip. The real thing to do is to eradicate this big brother. The network and connections laid down all year round paved the way for the seizure of the crown prince.
As long as you can take over Da Liao. With today's Daliao troops, there is still national strength. What kind of woman does he want then, surrounding these countries. Don't you all have to serve it obediently? Great things can be done, why bother with a few women?
Yelutu, who wanted to understand this, simply chose to go home. In the face of Yelutu's resignation, the lord of Western Xia was powerless to stop him. No matter what, the Western Xia Kingdom Lord knew in his heart that this matter was far beyond his prediction.
Although it is not clear, the return of Yelutu will bring much trouble to Western Xia. But in the current situation, the horse master is almost determined. This made Li Qianshun unable to refute at all. Unless you are really willing to make enemies with the Great Song Dynasty.
In short, in his opinion, this trick did not meet expectations at all. Instead of driving away the tiger wolf, it may have angered the tiger wolf. Let them share the same hatred and take revenge on the fish and flesh of Western Xia.
In order to defuse this pressure, he must choose between the tiger and the wolf. However, in Li Qianshun's view, whether it is the Great Liao or the Great Song Dynasty, it is not easy to choose between the two sides. And he just didn't have a choice. Unless he is willing to be an unfilial son and a ruthless father.
When Li Qianshun wanted to have a good marriage, he was even more unpleasing to Xixia. Jerutu, who was about to leave the city, suddenly saw the team stop. Feeling a little curious, he poked his head out, but saw a horse and a gun appear in front of the team.
Besides. Countless people in the Imperial City of Western Xia, as well as those officers and soldiers guarding the city, gave up this street out of the city. It seems like they all want to know. What the hell is this single-handed knight going to do!
The leader of the guard who guarded Jerutus. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Bold fanatic, dare to stop my prince's convoy." What do you want? If you don't get out of the way, watch out for the Commander to cut you off your horse. ”
Regarding the words of the guard commander, Zhao Xiaoxi, who came to stop him single-handedly, said very calmly: "Get out, you are not qualified to talk to this king, let your prince come and talk back." If you scratch the noise again, this king will not be spared! ”
As soon as these words came out, the two Great Liao cavalrymen who commanded the side immediately said angrily: "Bold! ”
As he spoke, he drew out his scimitar and launched an attack, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Xiaoxi's mouth at the person who dared to hand the knife to him. Raising the silver spear in his hand, he shot away one of the samurai on horseback, and the other stabbed directly on horseback.
Looking at this person who stopped the Da Liao horse team, he really dared to kill people in the street, and he killed them so simply. Many people in Western Xia were also shocked, but soon someone told them that the person blocking the road was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.
Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, many people were also very surprised and said, "What? Did the Great Song Dynasty also send the prince of the county to participate in the princess's selection of horses? But why, I haven't heard of it some time ago?
Also, when did the Great Song Dynasty have such a strong martial arts prince. Dare to stop the convoy of the prince of Da Liao, isn't he afraid of provoking a big war between the two countries? Or is it that the current Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of the Great Liao? ”
In the eyes of many people, Da Song and Da Liao really want them to choose a side. Many people may think that Da Liao's strength is stronger than that of Da Song. But last year's Battle of Lanzhou dealt a blow to the subjects of Western Xia.
These chaotic voices did not affect Zhao Xiaoxi's state of mind. Looking at the Da Liao warriors who were killed and seriously injured, Zhao Xiaoxi said very calmly: "Yelutu, this king asked you a word today, do you really want to leave now?"
You know, this king said last night that before the matter is investigated, anyone who leaves early will be treated as a murderer. If you think that you can ignore the words of this king, maybe you won't be able to return to Da Liao this time, do you believe it? ”
Compared with the distance from the Great Song Dynasty to Xingqing Mansion, Yelutu's journey back to Da Liao was farther than Zhao Xiaoxi's return to the Great Song Dynasty. This means that even if Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't do it here, Yelu's return will be full of dangers.
When he walked out of the carriage and saw Zhao Xiaoxi, he really dared to kill people in the street, Yelu Tu said with a red face: "King Bashu County, don't deceive people too much, are you really afraid that you won't succeed?" This king wants to leave and wants to stay, how can he allow you to point fingers. ”
Regarding Yelutu's anger, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly smiled and said: "So, Prince Yelu is really in such a hurry to leave Xingqing, can the king think." The attacks on these two nights were all planned by the prince?
If it wasn't organized by the prince, why would he want to leave so much? Now that General Heran is stepping up the investigation of the murderer, you left in such a hurry, should you give everyone an explanation?
The king has said that if you are determined to go, the king will not hinder you. It's just that the prince has a long way to return this time, and if he encounters any murderers or any unknown armed attacks on the way, I am afraid that it is really unknown whether the prince can return to Daliao. ”
Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Yelutu said with a cold face: "King of Bashu County, do you really want to be an enemy of this king?" ”
'Wrong, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao were originally hostile relations. Even if we shake hands and make peace today, they will meet on the battlefield sooner or later. There is just one point, this king has a clear distinction between public and private, and he blocked it today, just to verify the culprit of the assassination of Xiaomei.
If the prince is not a thief, he should wait until the real culprit is caught before leaving. You leave now, and you are in the hands of the murderer. As far as this king knows, although the prince is favored by the Liao Emperor and the Liao Queen. But someone's strength is not weak!
There are some words, I believe that there is no need for this king to say more, the prince is also a smart man. I don't want to carry the black pot for others! Assassinate the prince of Tubo, assassinate the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, and the black cauldron that intended to shoot the princess of Western Xia, is the prince sure to carry it? ’
As Zhao Xiaoxi said this, he looked at the pointing of those people. Jerutu soon understood that if he did leave today, perhaps the dirty water would be poured on him.
Although he didn't care about this dirty water, he was very worried that Zhao Xiaoxi would not play his cards according to common sense. really cooperated with the Western Xia to hunt him down, and only the hundreds of people under him may not be able to protect him to return to Daliao safely.
As a strategist beside Yelutu, he is also aware of this, and he also understands what Zhao Xiaoxi means. That low-key Yeluqi is indeed a huge threat compared to Yelutu!
quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, in the current situation, I'm afraid we can't leave." If he really leaves, the reproach of the three kingdoms, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lord of the country to deal with it. Most importantly, his subordinates felt that this matter should not be simple.
We were used as guns, and we were planted in front of us. Therefore, his subordinates suggested that it was better to stay in Western Xia for two more days, and send a secret letter to inform the lord of the country, asking the army to meet at the Xia-Liao border to ensure the prince's safe return to Liao. ”
Listening to the advice of the counselor, although Jerutu was unwilling, he also understood the gains and losses. Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's indifferent expression, Yelutu quickly said ruthlessly: "King Bashu County, today's events, this king remembers!" ”
Re-entering the carriage, Jerutu's advisers quickly ordered the exit from the city. The team retreated again, heading back to the post house from which they had been evacuated. As for the two samurai who died, it seems that they really died in vain!
It is clear that Yelutu must hold a grudge against today's events, but in Zhao Xiaoxi's opinion, it is impossible for him and Yelutu to become friends themselves. Just like Murong Fu, their respective ultimate goals are different, and they are destined to be natural opponents.
Since he is an opponent, how can Zhao Xiaoxi care if Yelutu has a good impression of him! If Yelutu dared to leave the city without investigating the matter clearly, Zhao Xiaoxi would really order Wu Wei to hunt him down and leave him in Western Xia.
It's just that at the moment, in Zhao Xiaoxi's opinion, that Yeluqi is the real opponent. The two most promising people to inherit the throne in the Great Liao, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that it would be more beneficial for the Great Song Dynasty to let Yelutu ascend the throne.
As for Yeluqi, this incident has nothing to do with him or not. In Zhao Xiaoxi's heart, he has already classified him as a dead man. It's just that if he can find evidence that Yeluqi assassinated Li Qinglu, it will make it more reasonable for him to kill and take revenge.
For this incident that happened at the gate of the city, many people in the Western Xia Imperial City remembered Zhao Xiaoxi's strong and domineering. And the deeds of Zhao Xiaoxi, the king of Bashu County, soon became a topic of conversation among the people of the imperial city.
Soon, the Tuoba tribe, who were far away on the border of Liaoxia, received the news that Zhao Xiaoxi had arrived in the imperial city of Western Xia. Tuobaye, who had personally experienced dealing with him, soon accepted the order of the tribal leader and rushed to the imperial city with a cavalry team of 1,000 people.
As for Tuoba Ye's intention to come to the imperial city this time, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't care much. To stop Yelutu from leaving, the palace sent someone to send news that Zhao Yu had finally woken up! (To be continued......)
