Chapter 495 Accident

Recently, the grassland has gradually regained its tranquility, and after the snowfall, there are often continuous snowflakes floating in the air, and the sky and the earth seem to be shrouded in a white veil. The fierce war drums and impassioned shouts have disappeared, and the fallen warriors who once fought bloody battles are also buried under the white snowflakes, and suddenly disappear like a dream, only the sergeant on duty under the flagpole shrunk his hands and paced to look lonely, and the battle flag with the word "Xue" written on it "crackled" and shook in the occasional gust of wind.

The Tang people's acceptance of the Mobei Turks' desire for peace meant that the war had come to an end. Xue Chongxun also made a timely layout and won the title of the leader of the military alliance of various ethnic groups in the north. Then there is no longer much need to stay in this lonely grassland, Xue Chongxun began to plan to return to the court, but the aftermath such as setting up a military base in the former Turkic Khan's court still needs to be arranged.

In addition to regularly reporting military affairs to Chang'an, the northern army in the hands of Xue Chongxun did not have much information, let alone commented on the alliance pattern of its organization. This quiet situation is just like the grassland and snow here, but Xue Chongxun can easily guess that all parties in Chang'an must be very concerned about this matter, as well as the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Tang army in his hands.

Either way, Kannai is everyone's destination, and it's time to go back.

Xue Chongxun got up with the Turkic princess Ashina Zhuo in the morning, and the two of them seemed a little silent, but Ashina Zhuo didn't show any bad feelings. She has probably begun to accept a new life, not only because she already belonged last night, but also because she has been doomed, she is destined to obey the plan of diplomatic relations and serve as a ribbon of peace.

After breakfast, Xue Chongxun reported a small matter, saying that the Turkic Qi Tler, who had made meritorious contributions in the battle of Black Sand City last time, had something to report, which was an important matter related to their tribe. Xue Chongxun said in his heart: Most of the tribe where Qi Treer is located wants to join and defect over, although the two countries want to be rebuilt, but Qi Treler's meritorious service to the Tang Army is also a betrayal of the Turkic Khanate, and his tribe is in an embarrassing situation in the Turkic Khanate, but in the Tang Dynasty, it is the role of a hero, and it is easy to choose where to go.

It just so happened that Xue Chongxun had nothing to do today, there were various generals in the management of the military camp, and Wang Changling was in charge of handling matters related to the Shan Yu Protectorate, so he didn't have to ask in person. So he ordered to summon Hitler, and asked the advisor Su Jin and others to come over to help make suggestions and fill in the gaps.

Ashina Zhuo saw that Xue Chongxun was arranging business, so he said: "The King of Jin wants to do business, and it is inconvenient for me to stay here, so I should go back to my original residence first." ”

Xue Chongxun said disapprovingly: "Qi Tler's request for a meeting today must be about the surrender of the Tunyu Valley tribe, although the Turks were once my enemies, but I have always been kind to those who sincerely submit. You're a Turkic princess, so there's nothing wrong with being involved. Besides, it's not good to move elsewhere now, just stay. ”

Ashina Zhuo said in her heart that she wanted to avoid it because she didn't want to see Qi Tler, but Xue Chongxun's words also reminded her that she was a Turkic princess and could not forget her roots, and she should care more about the affairs of the Turks when she married to the Tang Dynasty. So she agreed.

Xue Chongxun's Chinese army tent was heavily guarded, and there were no idle people walking around within fifty steps. However, Setler was allowed to be summoned, so he went to the tent door very smoothly, and the chamberlain who came out of it also said in a loud voice: "He is the one the prince wants to see, let him come." Solve the sword and follow me in. ”

Setler took off the scimitar hanging from his waist, rested it on the knife holder at the tent door, pointed to the flint knife and other objects on the belt, and said, "Do you want to take off the ornament?" ”

"No need, hurry in and don't make people wait." The official said. Qi Tler is a Turkic but he was the official of the Tang Dynasty, the master has long changed, and now he and the soldiers of the Tang Army are his own people, plus Xue Chongxun once praised him for his merits, and everyone is never difficult for him on weekdays.

The group entered the big tent in an orderly manner, and saw Xue Chongxun, the king of Jin, sitting behind a desk in the center, and Ashina Zhuo was also sitting on his side openly, as if he had some princess style. On the stools below were two or three civil officials, and on either side of the tent stood two columns of unarmoured warriors, somewhat like the private warriors of the household, dressed in cloth clothes without hats, with their heads combed in buns and simple hairpins, and no conspicuous weapons on their bodies. And Xue Chongxun was also dressed like a man, with a hat on his head...... Probably because of the end of the war, there was no armor in the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was not much atmosphere but like a study hall.

Qi Tler glanced at Ashina Zhuo, but Ash Nazhuo's eyes were level in front of him and he didn't even give a straight eye, as if he hadn't found Qi Tler.

"Meet King Jin." Ratler raised his arm to his chest and saluted.

Xue Chongxun looked very easy-going, and said indifferently: "Bring a stool to Ketler, sit down and talk about something." ”

Ratler thanked him, sat down on the stool, and did not say anything for a long time. Xue Chongxun wondered, "What did you originally say?" Qi Tler glanced around, but he didn't say a complete sentence, and then Xue Chongxun understood, and immediately said calmly: "It's okay to say it alone, these people are all my old friends, and there is nothing that can't be said in front of them." The people below are the servants brought by the Xue Mansion, except for the ones who didn't leave Chang'an at all when they came out with me, not to mention what it has to do with the Turkic side, you don't have to worry about leaking the news. ”

Only then did he have to open his mouth and say in a deep voice: "Among the Turks sent to negotiate peace this time is my grandfather's henchman, who had a secret meeting with me a few days ago. My grandfather, the Turkic Zuoxian King Tunyugu, knew that I had made meritorious contributions to the interior, and was worried that the Khan would know about the harm to the clansmen, so he wanted to ask the imperial court to arrange for the Tunyugu tribe to be attached to the tribe to ensure the safety of the tribe's nearly 10,000 tents. ”

Xue Chongxun exhaled, and as expected, he said: "As for the envoy of King Zuoxian, let him bring a token to interview me directly, and I will think about you fairly." ”

Ketler said: "The messenger has handed over the token and the letter of his parents to me, please take a look at it first." ”

"Very good, present it." Xue Chongxun said. The scribe who was standing next to him went down to pick it up, and Ketler took a box from his bosom and put it in the scribe's hand. But the box was not immediately delivered to Xue Chongxun's hands, according to the rules of the palace, this kind of box needs to be opened by others to prevent possible dangers such as organs. The atmosphere at this time was very friendly, and the scribe was just checking it according to the customary rules.

Unexpectedly, the scribe who took the things didn't pick it up for a long time, and said with an embarrassed expression: "This box can't be opened, you have to find a craftsman." ”

"There's a dark machine on the side, press it and ......turn it on," he said, walking forward as if nothing had happened, "Give it to me, I'll help you open it first." ”

"Stop!" Su Jin suddenly shouted, "No one asked you to come up." ”

Unexpectedly, Ratler's footsteps did not stop, while explaining: "I forgot to open the box first just now." ”

Originally, Xue Chongxun didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter at all, but at this time, he suddenly had a strange feeling, and his vigilance was raised all of a sudden, and he blurted out: "Something is wrong with this Turkic person, come here, show me and talk about it!" ”

At first, when Su Jin shouted, the house slaves below had already looked sideways, and as soon as Xue Chongxun opened his mouth, a group of people rushed over. At the same time, Qi Tler, who had been more than ten steps closer, suddenly changed from walking to running, and the murderous aura on his face was already revealing and went straight to Xue Chongxun's side. The tent was so shocked, Xue Chongxun and Ashina Zhuo both stood up.

"There are assassins!" Su Jin shouted.

Xue Chongxun was unexpectedly taken aback, and his heart "groaned", and he didn't understand why this Turkic man suddenly turned his face, at this time he was unarmed, and he only had inkstones, pens, ink, and other things on the case, but there were no weapons. He suddenly remembered that his saber was hanging at the door of the inner tent, because he had not used his weapon for the past few days.

Ratler ran very fast, leaning forward like an enraged bull!

At this time, several people who were close to Xue Chongxun were civilian officials who ate on the ink in their stomachs, and they didn't know anything about martial arts in their fists and feet. Only Su Jin had the courage to know people, and he actually ran over to intercept Qi Tler, and between the lightning and flint, a fast scene flashed in front of Xue Chongxun's eyes, and when he saw this, he subconsciously had a thought: Sure enough, he is a person who has been a waiter, and he is a talent everywhere.

Su Jin jumped to Hitler's position, but unfortunately he didn't jump and fell to the ground, and then hugged one of Hitler's feet with his arms. only heard a "bang", and Gatler flew up with another foot and kicked Su Jin out.

In a moment, Qi Tler had arrived at the case, but after such a delay, Xue Chongxun had recovered from his initial surprise, and he was a person who practiced martial arts, and his reaction was much calmer. Xue Chongxun saw that Qi Tler's body was leaning up, and predicted that he would be transferred directly from the case, so he immediately grabbed the inkstone with one hand and threw it over.

Ratler dodged lightly to one side, but the ink from the inkstone spilled on his head and his face suddenly turned into a black man. He paused slightly, and a voice in his heart said, "If it doesn't work out, it's up to this moment." Ratler, a man who is good at horseback riding, archery, and wrestling, did not have much thought in his mind, and at this time immediately decided to change his course and bypass the bookcase, which was just an instinct, and there was no time to think about it. Sure enough, intuition for such a thing is more useful, and the book case was lifted by Xue Chongxun with a "bang", but it didn't work because Ketler turned to this action in advance.

Every moment is very important, because the house slaves below pounce on it in the blink of an eye, and every flick of the finger has to be broken into two pieces.

As soon as the bookcase was opened, he saw Qi Tler appear in front of him from the side, and a trace of amazement flashed in Xue Chongxun's eyes, and it was about such a moment of exclamation that implied that Xue Chongxun's psychology could not be underestimated, and he was really a little panicked when he had no place to fish. I saw a faint light, and a knife appeared in Gentler's hand...... This thing only serves as an ornament in the nobility, and it is really difficult to kill chickens.

However, Sanniang once said: Killing people is not about what weapons are used, but about whether you have the heart to kill people for a moment. Q
