Outside the sweat tent, the two princes of Xue Yantuo were in dispute. Although the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks were silent, they were actually holding back their strength.

It's a contest.

However, a simple war of words is meaningless and does not serve practical purposes.

However, judging from the situation alone, Tuli lost the upper hand slightly, and the benefits of admiring and being familiar with the Tang culture were completely highlighted at this time.

At least he was more articulate and spoke more methodically, and a rebuttal made Dadu a little overwhelmed.

Magnanimity is just a loss of face and a loss of grace, anyway, he didn't plan to be reasonable, and almost staged a farce of nonsense.

In such a situation, the Western Turks could no longer stand it.

Perhaps they were worried that the final result would not be good for them, or perhaps in order to maintain the generosity of the affinity, the "gourd" little khan spoke.

What's the point of going on with this argument? Let's find a way to decide where to go! Hu Lu said: "Since it is on the grassland, then follow the rules of the grassland, and choose any one of horseback, archery and wrestling." ”

"As it should be." The voice landed, and the magnanimity set the first approval.

Tu Li's face was suddenly a little bad, but he finally restrained himself and did not show it obviously. It's just a matter of trying something else, but riding a horse and archery are the specialties of the grassland people, and most of the Tang people are at a loss when they compete, which is obviously "unfair".

But this cannot be said directly, not to mention that the Western Turks only need to use a sentence such as "the guest is as the host is pleased" to prevaricate back, what can you do?

If you oppose it, doesn't it directly show that the Tang people are inferior to the Western Turks in terms of cavalry and archery force? Such a disgraceful remark cannot be said lightly, at least not from one's own mouth.

No matter how you answer, it's wrong, so you just don't answer.

Tu Li's eyes subconsciously fell on Di Zhixun and Xie Yi, let's see how the Tang envoys deal with it themselves!

Maybe this is a test, to test the level of the Tang people, if the Tang envoys can't even do this little thing, it's not worth the trouble themselves.

Xie Yi and Di Zhixon glanced at each other. After exchanging glances, he said coldly: "The respect and humility have already been decided, do you still need to make extraneous branches?" ”

"What are the Tang envoys? If you have to talk about dignity and humility, Hulu Little Khan is the younger brother of the Western Turkic Khan, and his status is extremely noble, how can you compare it? "Dadu set the first to jump out and object.

"Ridiculous!"

"What's ridiculous?"

Xie Yi said coldly: "Di Shilang and this envoy represent my Tang Emperor, the Great Heavenly Khan; Even if the Western Turkic Khan came here, he did not dare to emphasize his dignity at will, and Your Excellency, a little Khan who had lost his parts, thought he was noble. Isn't it ridiculous? ”

"Anyway, Ben Khan is a khan, what are you?" Hu Lu seemed to be a little enraged.

"Is it true that if the envoy is honorable, the status of the mission is high? This is the first time I've heard of this. Xie Yi said: "Then the next time my Tang Dynasty sends a prince to Tianshan, the Western Turkic Khan will also have to kneel and bow down?" ”

"Daring."

"Just tell the truth!" Xie Yi said: "If I remember correctly, the Western Turks paid tribute to my Tang Dynasty not long ago, and your Khan is also my Tang Emperor, and His Majesty the Heavenly Khan is entitled, how can your envoy be trustworthy?"

And so it goes. Where was the Western Turkic Khan intended? Could it be that Hulu Little Khan intended to replace him, or what was in his mind? ”

Hu Lu's face changed, and he immediately said: "The Tang people are the best at quibbling, and sure enough. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Hmph. I didn't expect the Tang Kingdom to send a yellow-mouthed child to send an envoy, did he despise Xue Yantuo, or did he have no one in the Tang Kingdom? Losing the head-to-head confrontation, Hu Lu immediately changed the subject. Trying to burn the fire to Xue Yantuo.

Di Zhixun said: "My Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and the candidates to envoy Xue Yantuo can naturally be carefully selected, why is there no one to say?" ”

"You're going to pick a yellow-mouthed kid?"

"The little Khan's words are wrong. Xie Envoy is young and promising, he is a bachelor of Hongwen Hall in my country, and it is the long history of the Jin Palace. Di Zhixun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the son of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, and when he sees Bachelor Xie, he has to perform the half-master ceremony." In this way, when it comes to honor, I am afraid that you are still a step behind. ”

In addition to taking care of and managing, the chief of the palace has the responsibility of teaching, and Li Zhi is young, Xie Yi can really be regarded as half a teacher. Although Dickson's statement is exaggerated, it is not completely untrue.

How can a Khan of a steppe tribe compare to the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the biological son of Tian Khan? You must know that the Turkic Khan of the Eastern Turks was so powerful that he only got the title of county king.

The prince's teacher, can the status be low? Such a person came to envoy, which can be regarded as giving Xue Yantuo enough face.

Of course, the people of Xue Yantuo may not approve of it, at least in Hu Lu's opinion, most of them are for the mission and arbitrarily give the title of young man Langga.

The Tang people finally like to do this, and the daughter of the distant branch who is obviously married to add a princess title, and then they can pretend to be golden branches and jade leaves.

However, these words must not be put on the table, at least not as a reason for opposition on the surface. Although Hu Lu was disdainful, he couldn't find a better reason to oppose it, but it was probably not easy to ask him to give way easily.

The impasse has not yet been broken, and there is still a little stalemate.

Dadu still has an arrogant expression, insisting on an attitude of refusal, and as for the stalemate, it is a completely indifferent expression. Quite has the bearing of Mount Tai collapse without changing color, or is the dead pig not afraid of boiling water, or doesn't care about hob meat?

Tu Li lost but wanted to break this embarrassing situation, after all, he was smarter and more able to do things, but unfortunately the three parties continued to insist for their own reasons.

He didn't have a chance to open his mouth at all, and he couldn't find a reason to pry a concession from one side of the other, but it was not the way to stalemate like this, so Tu Liyu gave him a look.

After a while, the opportunity finally appeared.

There was movement in the direction of the sweat tent, and the people and horses of the brigade came over with a crowd to see the pomp, and then see that this person was dressed in gold and silver, and had a few unknown bird feathers on his head.

In this special outfit, who else will there be besides the Pearl Khan Yinan? Obviously, he has been in the big tent all along, and he knows the situation outside, but he just doesn't want to come forward, or he deliberately doesn't show up.

However, at this moment, it is no longer possible to see the excitement.

Tu Lishu just glanced at people, that is, let people report the situation to Yi Nan, and no one present could break the deadlock, so he had to find an external force to help.

In view of the special identities of the few people present, ordinary people and others simply do not have the strength to break the siege, so Zhenzhu Khan Yinan only needs to come forward in person. (To be continued......)
