Chapter 319: Heavy Reward
Before coming to participate in the Western Xia conscription for the horses, Yelutu and Yeluqi both knew that the prince sent by the Great Song Dynasty would be their biggest opponent. Regardless of whether Western Xia fell to that side, it would form a threat to the Great Song or Great Liao.
It's just that they also know that if they can pull Sixia into the chariot. Not only can they rely on this identity as a colt to win the crown prince's throne. It may also be able to suppress the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not necessary to expand the area of soil a little more.
For the people of Da Liao and Western Xia, they were too eager to enter the Central Plains. But everyone knows that the Great Song surrounded by wolves is not easy to mess with. Even if Da Liao asks himself, if he has the strength to seize a few more cities in the Great Song Dynasty, the price they can pay is what they don't want to see.
The truth of 'snipe and clam fight, fisherman profits', the great Liao monarchs and ministers are very clear. And Western Xia is like a sharp knife piercing the throats of the two countries, whoever can win this sharp knife can give the other party a fatal opportunity.
It's just this sharp knife, but he doesn't want to be controlled by any of them, and wants to control his own destiny. As a result, the three parties are sometimes in alliance and sometimes in confrontation, and no one dares to act rashly at the moment.
Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi no longer concealed his identity and officially declared war on the two Great Liao princes, even Gu Mozhi was taken aback. Although they hope that the two most powerful countries will fight to the death, they do not want to appear in this situation.
Looking at the two Great Liao princes worried, Zhao Xiaoxi also said directly: "You are all the sons of a king, maybe you don't need to say anything more from this king, your own family knows your own affairs." Playing shady tricks, you are also no match for this king.
Again, you'd better rejoice that these six dead men are not your men. Otherwise, you will wait for the king's pursuit. Although the national war cannot be started lightly, you must know that today's life and death are uncertain. She is the king's dear little sister.
Although this king does not pay much attention to political affairs, there is one thing that no one can provoke, and that is his relatives. Whoever dares to harm the king's relatives will be punished by the king. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. β
Throwing down a murderous sentence, Zhao Xiaoxi turned his head to look at Heran Lian and said, "General Heran." Previously, this king had concealed his identity, and I ask the general to forgive me. I believe that there is no need for this king to say more, the general should understand that this king is not popular in Western Xia.
It's just that the two armies are fighting, and they have never been polite, and this king fought against Western Xia last year, and it can only be said that each is its own master. Now that the king's closest relatives have been attacked, General Heran should understand the seriousness of the matter.
Before coming to Xixia this time, the king's father and mother, as well as the imperial grandmother, repeatedly advised. It is necessary to protect the safety of the county lord of Tsuruer. Now her life and death are uncertain, no matter who the murderer is, Xixia has an inseparable relationship.
Before coming, the king had already ordered the Song and Xia border to be armed, just to deal with some unexpected situations. If Zhao Yu has a good job, and Xixia can't hand over the murderer, this king may do something impulsive.
This king does not like war, but he knows it. Some people can't be persuaded by lip service, only fists will make them know how to be honest. So. Whether the murderer can be found depends on whether General Heran can cooperate.
These six killers, although everyone feels unfamiliar. But it was definitely not the first day they came to the Western Xia Imperial City, and they must have stayed in the Imperial City. And ask the general to hang them above the city gate tomorrow morning.
Anything can be said. Where did these six people live, and what people did they meet? The king is rewarded with a gold reward, and if the real culprit behind the scenes can be found, the king will give a generous reward of 100 gold. Please let the general inform the people of the city! β
The reward of one gold and one hundred gold, it was clear when I heard this. This prince of the Great Song County is really ruthless. These six strange killers, no matter how low-key they are, have always stayed in the imperial city, and someone must have seen them.
If they hadn't entered the city during the day, they must have stayed in an inn or dwelling in the city. With such a generous reward, I am afraid that it will make the people of the whole city crazy. As long as you find out where they came from, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the real culprit?
Seeing that the money didn't need to come out of Xixia, he quickly said: "Lord Jun, I will let people post notices now." If there is any news, we must send someone to inform us immediately. Ladies and gentlemen, Ben is one step ahead! β
Looking at the six corpses that committed suicide by poisoning, let the officers and soldiers defending the city carry them away, and prepare to hang their corpses tomorrow and offer a reward. The people present are not easy to obstruct. After all, this kind of wealthy approach may have a miraculous effect.
People die for money, birds die for food, how have they been since ancient times. Seeing the corpse being carried away, Zhao Xiaoxi said to Jiu Mozhi: "Gu Guoshi, tonight's matter, Tubo is also unclear. This king doesn't care, whether someone planted it or not.
If this matter has not been investigated clearly, it is better for the national teacher to guard your Royal Highness the prince closely. Another point, the national teacher rescued the rebels wanted by the Great Song Dynasty, and this king will also report to the present day. Please give the Lord of Tubo an explanation to the Great Song Dynasty! β
When Gu Mozhi heard Zhao Xiaoxi's words, he said helplessly: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, the little monk rescued the son of the deceased in order to fulfill the heart of a friend. If there is any faux pas, please forgive your Royal Highness! β
Regarding his weakness, Zhao Xiaoxi shook his head very resolutely and said: "Whether this is the case or not, you know it." This time, the prince of Dali came to Western Xia and encountered many interceptions, including a sneak attack by the Tubo royal guards.
They have already recruited all the things ordered by Zongzan, and the captives have been handed over to Dali, and they should arrive in Dali in the near future. What kind of angry thing the lord of Dali will do, I believe that there is no need for this king to say more.
In a word, this marriage in Western Xia is no longer of much significance. If you dare to hurt the king's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, even if it is the king of heaven, the king will tear it out and chop it up. I hope that the national teacher will be mentally prepared! β
Leaving this sentence behind, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Third brother, it doesn't make much sense to stay here, let's go back to the post house!" Tomorrow, the king's cavalry guards will enter the Western Xia Imperial City. This account, this king has to settle it one by one! β
Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi was really angry, Gu Mozhi was also full of bitterness. He really didn't expect Zhao Xiaoxi's revenge to be so strong. Unexpectedly, he and the prince of Dali are still brothers.
In this way, the Great Song Dynasty and Dali united, if they got the help of Western Xia, Tubo could really be said to be attacked on three sides. Even if Gu Mozhi knew that the geographical location of Tubo greatly constrained the march of the Great Song Dynasty.
From Western Xia and Dali, you can drive straight into Tibet. Once the war broke out, Tibet wanted to enjoy tranquility again, but I was afraid that it was unlikely. What worries him even more is the Central Plains martial arts power mastered by Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates.
If these martial arts forces only obey Zhao Xiaoxi's orders and begin to infiltrate Tibet, the tribal leaders and royal family members of Tubo will become very dangerous. From his understanding of Zhao Xiaoxi, this son never plays cards according to common sense.
If it is said that Murong Fu can abandon his conscience in order to achieve his goal. Then Zhao Xiaoxi is also a madman who dares to do anything to achieve his goal. If there is a conflict at that time, the life of Tibet may not be easy.
Watching Zhao Xiaoxi and Duan Yu leave, the two Great Liao princes who were shocked by Zhao Xiaoxi's identity also felt uncomfortable in their hearts. I have been thinking about things that I have not been able to understand, but at this moment I finally have an answer.
Today, Princess Yinchuan invited Duan Yu to travel, and if there is no accident, it is Zhao Xiaoxi who is really invited. And they don't know about Zhao Xiaoxi's situation, but the Western Xia side knows that this can already explain everything.
As Cho Hyo-seok said, this marriage has lost its meaning. It was no longer of much use to continue to stay in Western Xia. What they have to do now is to prepare for the alliance between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty.
No one paid attention to the unlucky baby Gu Mozhi, and the two Great Liao princes also quickly returned to the post house and began to gather the close ministers and strategists around them. Thinking about the next step, whether to hurry back to Daliao or continue to stay here.
Last night itself made a fuss, and tonight there was such a thing. The two Da Liao princes also felt that this was really eventful. But they all know that if what Cho Hyo-seok said is true, it is really dangerous for them to stay here.
Once the alliance is a foregone conclusion, I am afraid that Cho Hyo-seok will really make a situation and take them as hostages. For this reason, the advisors around Yelutu quickly suggested that Yelutu should not stand under the dangerous wall and try to return to Daliao.
The same thing is being prepared. It's just that he follows the advice of the counselors more than Jerutus. On Yeluqi's side, he is almost always giving orders, making arrangements for tomorrow and the future.
Duan Yu, who returned to the post house, thought of Zhao Yu's desperate rescue, and gradually woke up. I don't know when this girl has become so important to him. It seems that Duan Zhengchun's brother's suggestion had confused his eyes before.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's calm sadness, Duan Yu, who returned to the post station, spoke: "Fourth brother, tell me the truth, what happened to her?" Why didn't Qing'er and them come back? β
Seeing Duan Yu's nervousness, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't expect Zhao Yu to make such a bold move to save Duan Yu. He understood what this meant, but he didn't object to Zhao Yu's intentions. But the point is, she has to survive!
Soon Zhao Xiaoxi said: "For the safety of Qing'er and them, I will temporarily let them all live in the Xixia Palace." Her injuries are severe, and I have already bandaged her, and it is up to her willpower to survive.
Third brother, at this time, I don't want to say anything more. Although she is naΓ―ve by nature, I understand what she is doing today. There are some things that I love to see! But now, it can only look at the will of God! β
In his previous life, he became an orphan early, lived on the death line every day, and relied on gunfire to anesthetize his nerves. For the family that he has in this life, he seems to cherish it incomparably. Especially this sister, she is even more spoiled.
Since he was a child, Zhao Yu has been close to him and follows him behind his ass every day. If something happens to Zhao Ming here, Zhao Xiaoxi himself will not forgive himself. But now, everything really can only depend on the will of God! (To be continued......)
