Chapter 478: Evening Party
Chapter 478 Evening Party
The fire inside and outside the city of Black Sand was bright and lively, and if it weren't for the sound of music and singing, it would look like a fire. The bonfires burned brightly, eclipsing the moon in the sky, and a group of people on the ground were beating and blowing horns and singing and dancing around the fires.
This is undoubtedly a joyful party, the Mosi Khan quickly sent a messenger back to reward the little Khan Toxi for his meritorious service in defending the city, and promoted the Valley of Desire to the king of Zuoxian, which is also a reward. Although Tosi did not have a substantial promotion, as the heir of the internal designation, it was enough for him to be rewarded by the Khan, and he was happier than anyone. At the same time, the Khitans decisively intercepted and attacked Wuluohu, and Mo Si also expressed his appreciation.
"Li Gongzi is really wise and brave, it's amazing!" A voice full of adoration and love praised unabashedly. She is none other than the princess Ashina Zhuo, she understands the process of the war, and she really admires Li Shizhi's talent.
Li Shizhi said modestly: "Where, if it is not for the Turkic warriors who are good at fighting, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be in vain." He was modest and polite in his words, but his face was full of smugness and smiles.
Little Khan Tuoxi and Zuoxian Wang Tunyugu were rewarded because they were rewarded, but Li Shizhi had no real benefits, of course they would not skimp on a few good words. In a happy mood, Tosi also called the shaman to bless him, and the shaman took a torch around Li Shizhi's head, and worried Li Shizhi to protect his hair with his palm, for fear of burning his hair. It was probably the Turks who thought his movements were funny and burst into laughter.
However, whenever there is a celebratory occasion, there are always one or two people in the mood who are out of place. Not everyone is so happy, Lust Valley's grandson Ketler is full of resentment and jealousy, especially when he sees the eyes and words of his favorite princess to Li Shizhi, he can't wait to crush Li Shizhi's bones! In this battle to defend the city, Ketler led the troops to charge and kill very bravely, he beheaded ten levels alone, originally expected to be able to win the title of Turkic influence, of course, the reputation of the Turkic warrior can also be, how can I think that I am completely forgotten, as if that bravery is very insignificant compared to Li Shizhi's moving mouth, especially the princess Ashina Zhuo is even more indifferent to this.
A wolf totem with the head of a wolf carved into the celebratory arena was placed, but the totem's eyes were lifeless because it was not a living creature in itself. In contrast, Gatler's eyes flashed like a wolf at this time.
At this time, Ashinazo inadvertently touched Ketler's gaze, and her whole body suddenly became cold, and she immediately frowned, and a wave of disgust appeared in her heart. Zuo Xian Wang Xuan Gu was an amiable old man in Ashinazhuo's eyes, but he didn't expect to have such a grandson who didn't want to be approached.
The unhappiness brought to her by Ketler was diluted by the surrounding atmosphere for a while, and the women in the middle were singing and dancing at the same time. Some of the Turkic warriors also found unmarried girls and danced to laugh and dance, while people like Tosi, Tunyugu and others sat surrounded by guards to eat meat and drink wine.
At this time, a Turkic lady saw that Li Shizhi was handsome, so she came up and invited him to dance together, Li Shizhi hurriedly waved his hand and said that he couldn't dance, he couldn't speak Turkic, and the little lady couldn't speak Chinese. Li Shizhi turned around and saw that Tun Yugu and the others were looking at him with a smile, so he pretended to be a gentleman and sighed casually: "I didn't expect the Turkic woman to be so enthusiastic. ”
Little Khan Tosi smiled: "A woman who is not married can be bolder, but once she is married, she can't dance with other men casually." ”
Li Shizhi also took the opportunity to mingle with the Turkic upper class, and said idly: "This is just the opposite of the women of our Han people's families, the little lady who has not been out of the cabinet is tightly controlled, and after getting married, she can go to the street or deal with the neighbors at will." ”
Tun Lust Gu laughed: "Your rules are strange, although your daughter was raised by her own family, sooner or later she will be someone else's woman, so why bother with her?" The one who has married is his own woman! ”
Tosi said: "The Khan appreciates Li Gongzi's talent very much, you might as well marry a Turkic woman and settle down here, and let the Khan give you an official position." As he spoke, Tosi glanced at Ashina Zhuo, he and Mo Si Khan were basically out of the same nostrils, and at this time he wanted to match Li Shizhi and Ashina Zhuo, so as to separate the relationship between the former Khan's family and Tun Desire Valley.
Li Shizhi excused himself: "It's not time to think about those private matters, and the Xue family shouldn't give up." ”
When it came to the matter, Toxi's expression was also a little more solemn: "What Li Gongzi said before the war is very right, the intention of the Xue clan is to suppress our prestige and make our Turkic Khanate rebel and leave. Otherwise, how could they send troops to *** Shacheng twice? This city did not do much good to the Tang Dynasty! ”
Li Shizhi muttered: "It was not very surprising that he sent Murong Xianbei people to attack Black Sand City for the first time, but after the defeat, why did he send Wuluo Hu, who was far away in the northeast, to attack?" If the Khitans stood by in this situation, wouldn't they have offended the Turkic Khanate, and besides, the Khitans also had the intention of annexing Uluohu. The second dispatch seemed to me to be a fool's errand...... Could it be that I look down on the surname Xue? ”
Tuosi said: "Don't think too much, yesterday's messenger from Father Khan has brought news that Father Khan has defeated the three surnames in the northwest and is rushing back from the march." When our main force of 400,000 iron cavalry (claimed) returns, are you still afraid of how many soldiers and horses will he send to Xue Chongxun? Not to mention two attacks, even ten are not afraid! ”
Someone next to him chimed in: "Yes, come and die one by one, and die as many as you come!" ”
Zuo Xian Wang Xuan Gu also said optimistically: "The Tang Dynasty army is moving slowly, and it is impossible to attack Black Sand City before the Khan's cavalry returns. When the Tang Dynasty gathered men and horses to fight, in this case, the Khitan and other clans could also make up tens of thousands of cavalry to help, and we would not suffer a loss when the decisive battle was held. If the Tang army doesn't come, there will be no battle this year after the snow, and the Han people can't stand the winter on our grassland, let alone fight. ”
Tosi laughed: "After this year, when we come back next year, we will go south to plunder, so that all the tribes will return with a full load!" ”
"There is also a Han lady, tsk is the skin is tender, it's not good to be a wife, it's really good to play, hahaha......" The Turks were in high spirits and raised their glasses to celebrate. Q
