Chapter 256: Oath Ceremony

Tuolu Kuchaer and Ji Gang froze at the same time.

No one expected Xiao Fan to suddenly come with such a hand, so happily and simply opened his mouth to mortgage Ji Gang to Delu Kuchar, and his casual expression was like giving an inconspicuous thing to Delu Kuchaer to appreciate and play.

Lord Xiao's ideas are simply imaginative, and no one can fathom them.

Ji Gang's seven-foot-tall Angzang man's eyes turned red when he heard Xiao Fan's statement, and his eyes glowing with tears looked at Xiao Fan pitifully, looking like a puppy abandoned by his owner, very cute.

"My lord......" Ji Gang begged with a crying tone.

After a pause, he clapped his hands very happily: "Okay, leaving this General Ji behind shows the sincerity of the Son of Heaven and Lord Xiao, and I have no doubt about the imperial court." ”

Xiao Fan said very sincerely: "Please also have a lot of pity on General Ji......

"Pity...... Pity? Ji Gang turned his head in horror, just in time to see Tuolu Kuzar baring his teeth at him and smiling, that smile ...... It's clearly a look like a lady who has been a vegetarian for many years and sees a beautiful fan.

Ji Gangju's door tightened, and he suddenly said in horror: "No, my lord, I'll go back with you, I don't want to stay here......"

Xiao Fan frowned and glared at him coldly: "Obedient!" It's an organization's trust in you! ”

"No...... I don't want ......"

Xiao Fan pulled Ji Gang, walked to a remote place, and said in a low voice: "Do you know the story of Su Wu's sheep herding?" ”

Ji Gang nodded: "I've heard of ......"

Glancing at Xiao Fan, Ji Gang gestured his fingers and said bitterly: "I heard that he has been herding sheep for nineteen years......"

Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder happily: "Later, the family returned to the country smoothly, and the knight was named the Marquis of Guannei, tsk...... Envy? ”

"No envy." Ji Gang's statement this time was very simple.

Xiao Fan was not surprised by his answer, as long as there is no problem with his brain, he would answer like this, which is normal.

"If you don't envy, you have to obey, this is the gold plating at the grassroots level, wait for three or five years to come back, the official will ensure that you will be crowned a marquis and worship the general, and wealth and glory will be at your fingertips!" Xiao Fan said with a serious face.

Seeing Xiao Fan's resolute face, Ji Gang was a newcomer to officialdom, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey Xiao Fan's words, knowing that he couldn't change Xiao Fan's decision, Ji Gang cried and said with a sad face: "My lord, you ...... Will it really save me back? What are you going to do when you go back to Beijing? ”

"When I go back, I immediately tear up the agreement with Trukuzar......"

"Huh?" Ji Gang was shocked, feeling a slight coolness in his crotch.

"Oh, I'm kidding you, you have to be funny, how could I put your safety at risk." Xiao Fan smiled and comforted.

Funny...... Ji Gang's face turned green, my surname was taken by you with a word and put into the hands of Tulu Huzar, are you still in a funny mood at this time?

Xiao Fan and Ji Gang were whispering on the side, and Tulu Kuchaer bent down, picked out a piece from the mountain of gold ingots, put it in the palm of his hand and weighed it, the gold ingots were heavy in his hand, golden luster, and it was definitely real gold.

Looking at the gold in his hand, Tuolu Kuchaer showed a heartfelt smile, no one in this world can be trusted, only real money is the most trustworthy, and the mortgage of the people of the imperial court is not credible here, if the imperial court is determined to break the covenant and break the alliance, will it care about the life and death of a mere martial artist? It's better to sell the surname Suo generously, if the court does not fulfill its promise in the future, Duoyan Sanwei will be the opposite.

Turning his head to look at Ji Gang's expression that was about to cry, Delu Kuchaer said loudly and empathetically: "Lord Xiao, forget it, I don't want hostages, I believe that the Son of Heaven will not do anything to be sorry for the eagle dog loyal to him, right?" ”

Xiao Fan and Ji Gang were whispering, hearing this, their faces changed together, the difference was that Xiao Fan's face became gloomy, and Ji Gang was surprised, looking at Delu Huzar's gaze as if he was a reborn parent.

Xiao Fan walked in a few steps in front of Tulu Kuchaer, and said unhappily: "Lord Tongzhi, I am showing my sincerity, how can you not want it?" ”

Tulu Kuchaer smiled generously: "I believe that the imperial court will definitely fulfill the promise made to me." ”

Xiao Fan snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily, it's better to have a hostage in your hands......"

Ji Gang looked at Xiao Fan in horror, his legs were so weak that he almost knelt down, and said tremblingly: "My lord, don't play......"

Tulu Kuchaer smiled: "I don't want hostages, it is out of trust in His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this good?" ”

Xiao Fan said unwillingly: "But didn't you just agree?" ”

"Since you are a loyal eagle dog of His Majesty the Emperor, how can you ask His Majesty the Emperor for hostages? That's not good. Trukhutsar shook his head.

Xiao Fan was angry, pointed at the chest of Delu Kuchar and said angrily: "You...... You should be the talk! ”

Ji Gang's tears really flowed, and he choked up: "My lord, please, don't play, okay?" ”

Xiao Fan turned his head to look at him, then sighed heavily, and said reluctantly: "Then what do you say?" ”

Tulu Huzar laughed: "It's very simple, I don't want hostages, my lord might as well make an oath with me here on behalf of the imperial court, and we will jointly swear to abide by the promise, so that the agreement between the imperial court and Duoyan Sanwei will take effect, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Fan snorted coldly a few times, oath? It's a matter of interests, and there are still those who break the contract in black and white, and it's useless to say a few oaths?

Like the thoughts of Delu Kuchar, Xiao Fan also feels that everything in this world is a floating cloud, only interests are eternal things, and only interests can restrain the betrayal of both parties, they are such sensible people, who will take the oath seriously?

However, even if it is just a false ritual, the formality that should be taken is still to be taken, which is like a monk who has to recite two sentences of Amitabha Buddha regardless of whether he is devout to the Buddha or not, a pure slogan, but he has to shout two voices often.

Xiao Fan snorted unwillingly, and finally gave up the idea of mortgaging Ji Gang to Duoyan Sanwei, no way, Ji Gang's worth is too low, people look down on him, if he mortgages a prince who is related to the Son of Heaven, it is estimated that Delu Huzar will still be very happy.

"Okay, then let's make an oath here, Ji Gang, and go prepare for the ceremony."

When Ji Gang heard that he finally didn't have to stay in Duoyan Sanwei as a hostage, he was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly responded, and turned around and began to work on the props of the oath ceremony.

Since it is a ceremony, the props are still very important, Liu Guanzhang was so bad at mixing back then, and there were a few pillars of incense in a peach forest when the Taoyuan Three Knots were righteous, not to mention that now it is the national oath ceremony of the Ming Dynasty and Duoyan Sanwei, although the pomp does not need to be too extravagant, it cannot be too simple.

"My lord, what do you need to prepare for the oath?" After being busy for a while, Ji Gang had to run to Xiao Fan with a gloomy face.

Ji Gang was originally a commoner, and he really lacked understanding of the important ritual process of the imperial court's alliance with Duoyan.

Xiao Fan looked at him left and right, and said coldly: "Simple, cut off the head of the chicken, drink the blood of the chicken, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Ji Gang was dumbfounded: "Chicken? ”

Then he began to look around in a daze.

The vast grassland, as far as the eye can see, where can I find you a chicken at this time?

"My lord, I can't find a chicken ......," Ji Gang said aggrievedly.

Xiao Fan sighed hatefully, what else would this guy do except brute force? I can't even do this little thing, which point is like a scheming and vicious rebellious thief? I really wonder if the history books have blown him too far.

"If you can't find a chicken, can't you find another living thing instead?" Xiao Fan's eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Gang's neck, and the meaning in his eyes was a little gloomy, a bit of a knife on his neck.

Ji Gang was frightened by Xiao Fan's gaze and took a step back, covered his neck with both hands, and then seemed to have been suddenly struck by lightning, and instantly became smarter.

"My lord, kill the horse, kill the horse and swear!" Ji Gang said excitedly.

Now the only living creatures that can be found are people and horses, and Ji Gang's choice is very wise.

So Ji Gang took out the knife and began to choose the object of the knife among the more than a thousand horses on his side.

Xiao Fan sighed again, this loser's thing, it really won't pass, the court just paid 20,000 taels of gold, and you still give away a horse for nothing? Born Han Jian!

"Ji Gang......" Xiao Fan had to call.

Ji Gang turned around and clenched his fists: "What do you command?" ”

Xiao Fan pointed at the beautiful horses and said, "...... Kill their horses. ”

"Yes!"

Trukhuzar's face twitched slightly: "............"

Ji Gang pulled out his sword, and when he was in high spirits to kill the horse, Xiao Fan and Tulu Huzar both knelt down in the direction of the southern Jingshi, and there were several pillars of incense sticks on the grass in front of them.

Coughing twice, Xiao Fan's expression was solemn and just before he could open his mouth to recite the oath, Ji Gang over there was in a situation.

Killing horses is not only a work of strength, but also a technical job, and it is obvious that Ji Gang is not very professional in killing.

The moves are very aggressive, the murderous spirit is enough, and the knife is like a knife on the stage, full of violent beauty, but unfortunately the place is not right. A knife stabbed the horse's neck, and the horse did not fall to the ground as Ji Gang imagined, but hissed in pain, the two big horse eyes were suddenly congested and red, and the horse's neck was trickling blood, but it broke out with an amazing wild surname.

After turning around in place a few times in pain, the crazy injured horse suddenly found Ji Gang, who was standing stupidly in place and at a loss, the murderer who wanted to murder him.

Of course, the beast doesn't understand what kind of gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, and the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry, let alone a huge war horse.

The bloodied wounded horse suddenly went berserk, like an enraged bison, and rushed towards Ji Gang frantically.

Ji Gang was frightened, let out a whoop exclamation, and then turned around and ran.

So there was a very strange scene on the grassland.

On the one hand, two big men who have a decisive influence on the situation in the world are kneeling solemnly and preparing to carry out solemn and solemn major state events, and on the other side, a wounded war horse chased a frightened attempted murderer like crazy, trying to trample him to death under his hooves...... The sergeants on both sides were close to 2,000 people, and everyone stood on tiptoe, and the onlookers were inhumane, but the two big men did not speak, and none of them dared to step forward to help, allowing the injured horse to chase Ji Gang and run around the grass in circles...... Kneeling on the grass, the two big men couldn't help but didn't look back, but their faces were not very good-looking, and their faces kept twitching with Ji Gang's strange screams, and the rhythm was very consistent.

The solemn atmosphere fell into an awkward silence with this accident...... Long...... Xiao Fan broke the silence, although he was very embarrassed, but he still had to say two words about the scene: "I'm sorry, my subordinates have been kicked in the head by a donkey before, leaving sequelae, and they are ......stunned when they see the four hooves."

When he heard this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder ......"

Xiao Fan said in frustration: "Alas, this official is ashamed! That guy is a disgrace in the livestock world......"

"Adults don't have to be frustrated, the eagle also has time to nap......"

Xiao Fan heyran: "See the smile, see the smile......"

The scene was explained in the past, and the farce of the war horse chasing and killing Ji Gang over there finally stopped, not that Ji Gang's physical strength was better than that of a beast, but that the injured horse bled to death, and it is rare in the world to kill a horse so dragged.

Ji Gang himself also knew that he had caused trouble and made Xiao Fan lose face, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, so he was anxious to make meritorious atonements, took two iron bowls, squeezed a little bit of residual horse blood from the wound on the horse's neck like toothpaste, and brought them to the two with a flattering and worried look.

Xiao Fan knelt motionless on the ground, resisting the urge to stand up and punch Ji Gang's face, so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He regrets it very much now, why didn't he insist on his idea just now, forcibly left Ji Gang to Taruhchaer, and if he wanted to kill him, he just agreed to do some oath ceremony, it was simply naΓ―ve!

Now that the cutscene has come to this point, let's continue to walk hard, and leave quickly after making a vow, and now Xiao Fan doesn't want to stay in this place that makes him lose face for a moment.

The horse blood was there, so the two bigwigs began to swear on behalf of their respective interest groups.

The oath was read by Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's face was calm, his hands were folded, his eyes were closed, his head was tilted, and he solemnly recited in a believer's attitude: "The emperor is above, the earth is below, today the Jinyi guard commander made Xiao Fan swear on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my Ming court is willing to be friendly with Duoyan Sanwei for generations, get along in harmony, Shi Wanjin, Xu Guanjue, give fiefdoms, open mutual markets, the Son of Heaven Chrysostom Yuyan, never regret what should be done, abide by it from generation to generation, it is not easy at all, the gods and Buddhas in the sky are clear, if you violate the oath, it is like ...... It's like ......"

Generally speaking, when it comes to "like ......" or something, it is time to find a negative teaching material to destroy it, as for what to destroy, this can be arbitrary, anyway, the more fragmented the destruction, the better, the more intense the way, the better, some like to cut the corner of the table, some like to break arrows, and some of the surname is a little cruel simply to split a living person, and spitting saliva and shouting "there is such a fang", and then won the applause of the whole house...... Of course, Xiao Fan is not exempt from vulgarity, the ancient people were particularly in awe of the gods, and swearing with the gods is no better than bargaining with the merchants, and it is not possible to say half a lie, in order to prove the credibility of his oath, it is necessary to destroy something after swearing.

So when Xiao Fan said "like ......", his head began to look around, trying to find something that could be destroyed to meet the situation.

Ji Gang really had eyesight, and when he saw this, he hurriedly handed over a bowl and whispered: "My lord, it's like it......"

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it and slammed it to the ground without hesitation.

…………………… The bowl was not broken, the grass was too soft, and there was a very speechless reason - the bowl was iron.

Tulu Kuchaer stared at Xiao Fan with wide eyes, he began to seriously doubt the sincerity of the imperial court, according to this situation, it seemed that it was not a big deal to break the oath, and this result made him very insecure.

Xiao Fanjun's face turned red in an instant, this was even more humiliating than the farce of killing the horse just now, and at this moment he really had a killing intent against Ji Gang.

- Is this guy deliberately trying to disgrace me?

Ji Gang saw that he was in trouble again, his face was as white as a dead man, and he didn't dare to move when he stood behind Xiao Fan.

Coughing dryly, Xiao Fan blushed and said to Tuolu Huzar'er: "It's not counted just now, let's continue...... If you break your oath, it's like ...... It's like ......"

After searching for a long time, I still can't find a negative textbook to destroy.

As soon as Xiao Fan turned around, he saw the steel knife hanging from Ji Gang's waist, so his eyes lit up.

With a backhand stretch, Xiao Fan pulled out Ji Gang's knife, then stepped on it with one foot on the ground, holding the handle of the knife with both hands and pushing it upwards to try to break it.

…………………… The steel knife did not move at all, Xiao Fan was calm, and exerted his strength again, but it was still not broken.

Xiao Fan withdrew his hand with some embarrassment, simply stood up horizontally, and then stepped on the knife with both feet, exhausted his strength to feed, his face turned purple, and a trace of heat came out of his head, and the steel knife ...... Still unmoving.

Under the stunned gaze of Tulu Huchaer, Xiao Fan gasped, rested on his waist for a while, and said quietly: "Ji Gang, ......"

"The end will be."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What breed of knife do you have? ”

"My lord, this knife is made of thousands of years of cold iron, and it will never ......be damaged if it is blown and broken."

Millennial Cold Iron ...... Xiao Fan's face suddenly turned green like a green vegetable sprinkled with pesticides, which was called a verdant drip.

Standing up, Xiao Fan finally broke out, grabbed Ji Gang's collar unceremoniously with both hands, his handsome face was terribly twisted into a ball, and said viciously: "What kind of thousand-year-old cold iron knife do you wear as a little guerrilla general, do you put on a score?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Fan was angry, Ji Gang was immediately frightened, and said with a red face: "My lord, this knife is an ancestral heirloom of the last general's family......"

"Isn't it ancestral great? Ancestral things are not good to be kept at home, what are you going to show when you take them out? ”

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, he kindly persuaded: "Master Xiao, forget it, forget it, find another thing and cut it down, it means at once." ”

Xiao Fan pulled Ji Gang fiercely, pointed at Ji Gang's face and smiled fiercely: "How about cutting him?" ”

"Your Excellency...... Don't. ”

Taruhchar shrugged his shoulders in a dashing manner: "I don't care......"
