Chapter 297: Temptation
After looking at Shaluo Khan, Li Guanqi remained silent, and said secretly in his heart: "It is said that the Turks are brave and good at fighting, physically strong and resourceful, but looking at Shaluo's appearance, he is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person. ”
Thinking in his heart, Li Guanqi already replied with a smile: "The Khan turned out to be a guest, and it should be me who welcomes you." Let's go into the tent and talk. ”
After speaking, Li Guanqi shook the sleeves of his robe, did not look back, and entered first, leaving He Ziming and other guards out of the tent.
When those Turks saw that the emperor of Daqian had entered the tent single-handedly without guards, they glanced at each other, and the contempt on their faces suddenly disappeared.
Li Guanqi's move, even Sharo Khan was a little surprised, frowned slightly, and turned around to follow in.
Li Guanqi paced into the account, only to see the two long cases separated left and right, with some cheese, milk tea and other things on them, he walked to the right and sat down according to the case.
Sharo Khan entered the Great Horde. I saw that Li Guanqi was already sitting there with a smile, and pointed to the opposite side: "Khan, please take a seat."
Sharo Khan looked at him as an anti-guest, as if he was the master of the big tent. I couldn't help shaking my head and smiling bitterly, so I had to sit opposite.
According to Li Guanqi's prediction, since the guest and host have already sat down, it is time to get down to business, but he didn't expect Sharo Khan to suddenly raise his hand and "snap" three times.
This action suddenly made He Ziming's spirit tense, and he unconsciously took half a step forward, raised his right hand slightly, and was ready to draw his sword.
Li Guanqi looked calm, sat calmly, and watched the changes.
Sure enough, with the slap of Sharo Khan, the tent door was opened again, but it was not the axe man who entered. Instead, four Turkic men carried a whole sheep that had been roasted for a long time and was covered in red and colored on a lacquer plate to the tent and knelt down on one knee on the carpet. He saluted Li Guanqi on his chest, and then quietly retreated.
This fat and tender two-year-old lamb has a golden color, crispy skin and fresh meat, and there is a strong smell of mutton in the tent. Sharo got up and walked over to the lacquer plate. A small silver scimitar was drawn from his waist, and a piece of meat was skillfully cut off and placed on the tip of the knife. Then he walked over to Li Guanqi.
He Ziming, who was behind Li Guanqi, had already pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword at this time, although the possibility of Sharo Khan assassinating Li Guanqi was almost zero, but He Ziming, as a personal guard, did not dare to be careless at all.
Sha Luo did not come to him, but walked in front of Li Guanqi and stopped three steps, and then held the silver knife in both hands and sent it forward.
He Ziming took a step forward and reached out to catch the silver knife. But Sharo Khan just squinted at him and did not let go.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
Although Li Guanqi didn't know what kind of etiquette this was for the Turks, he also understood that the gift sent by the Turkic Khan himself was naturally impossible for a subordinate to pick it up, and the meat was for himself to eat, and the knife naturally had to be taken by himself. He also understood that Sharo Khan was taking the opportunity to test his guts.
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Yunjing." It's so ignorant. Don't get out of here. ”
He Ziming had no choice but to retreat, but his spirit was not relaxed. Li Guanqi stood up. He stepped forward and reached for the silver knife in the hand of Sharo Khan.
Sharo Khan's eyes were fixed on Li Guanqi, his arms were slightly extended, although the silver knife intended to point the tip of the knife towards him, but if he stabbed it out easily, this angle could just be stabbed on Li Guanqi's throat. It's dangerous.
But Li Guanqi's face did not change, he calmly took the silver knife from the hand of Sharo Khan, tilted his head and bit the barbecue on the knife, and then also held it in both hands, and slowly returned the silver knife to Sharo Khan.
A look of admiration flashed in Sharo's eyes. turned around and walked back to the desk, put down the silver knife, lifted the jade pot on the table again, poured a glass of wine, and turned around to serve Li Guanqi with both hands.
Li Guanqi didn't hesitate, took it, and did it directly with his head up.
Sharo Khan's eyes brightened, but he had heard that Emperor Daqian's usual food and drink in his palace was only eaten and drunk by the eunuchs after tasting it first. Now Li Guanqi actually drank all his toast without hesitation. This is both a great trust in oneself and a great respect at the same time.
This is very easy to understand, wine is a thing, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, suitable for all ages, common in the world, and the etiquette on the wine table is also similar. When someone toasts and you dry it in one gulp, it is naturally better to win the favor of the other party than licking, serving one end, or nodding your head.
After Li Guanqi finished drinking, he also held the pot with his own hand, poured a glass of wine for Sharo Khan, and then poured another glass himself, and said with a smile: "Khan, drink this cup full!" ”
Sharo Khan nodded in satisfaction, took the glass, and tilted his neck to do the same.
Li Guanqi drained the wine in the cup again, then returned to the desk and sat down, no longer speaking, just smiling and looking at Sharo Khan.
Sharo Khan waved his hand at the Turks in the tent and said, "All of you stand down." ”
The Turks in the tent were all the personal guards of Sharo Khan, and when they heard this, they immediately turned around and left.
Seeing that Sharo Khan had retreated, Li Guanqi also said to He Ziming and Nameless: "You guys should also retreat." ”
"Your Majesty......" He Ziming did not immediately give the edict, but still wanted to speak. After all, Sharo Khan is the boss of the Turks, and the Turks are famous for their bravery, so he is still a little worried that Li Guanqi will face the other party alone.
Li Guanqi knew that if Shaluo Khan wanted to play any tricks, he would have played it a long time ago, and he would never wait until now, the reason why the other party wanted to retreat from everyone was that it was estimated that what he was going to say next would be inconvenient for others to listen to. And He Ziming was worried about him, but Li Guanqi was not worried at all.
Shaluo Khan may indeed be awesome, but no matter how good he is, he is already an old man now, while Li Guanqi is in his youth, besides, he is not a straw bag without strength now, and his martial arts are now not to be underestimated. What's more, he's still wearing armor.
So Li Guanqi raised his hand, stopped He Ziming's admonition, and said with a smile: "Stand down." Don't let people laugh at you. ”
He Ziming saw that Li Guanqi had made up his mind, and in desperation, he had no choice but to retreat with Nameless.
After only himself and Li Guanqi were left in the tent, Sharo Khan said slowly: "I have always looked down on you cadres. Over the years, I have only admired two people, one is Emperor Ling Zu Wuzong, and the other is you. You are the only two Qianjun who have defeated me on the battlefield. Back then, Ling Zu was as big as you, and he was also young and promising, heroic...... It's a pity that Ling Zu died too early, which made me sad for many years...... I'm not lying, I'm really sad, sad for the absence of an evenly matched enemy, and a lonely day without an opponent is ...... Unexpectedly, in my twilight years, you appeared ......"
