Chapter 122: The Ancient Challenge
Several fast horses galloped and stopped in front of the Kyushu Army barracks. The Xianbei knight on the horse jumped down, saluted Liu Meng, who was on duty in the camp, and then said: "Please pass through the commander of the thousand people, and the head of the head asks him to convene an emergency military meeting." β
Liu Meng nodded and said to the visitor: "Okay, I know, I will inform the general!" β
The Xianbei knights nodded, stepped on their horses and galloped away.
Liu Meng explained a few words to the soldiers behind him, turned around and walked towards Su Yu's big tent, intending to report to Su Yu.
"My lord, just now, Dongmeng Haoda's guards came to report, saying that Dongmeng Haoda has urgent military affairs to discuss with you, please come over." Liu Meng first saluted Su Yu, and then reported.
"But what is it?" Su Yu didn't open his eyes, continued to practice the Heavenly Scripture over and over again, and asked over and over again. As Su Yu's cultivation became more and more sophisticated, ordinary cultivation could even be simple and dual-purpose, and it was not a problem to have some simple conversations while cultivating.
"They didn't say it, they just said it was urgent military affairs, and it looked like they were really in a hurry." Liu Meng replied truthfully.
Su Yu stopped moving, continued to cultivate, and after a while, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and slowly closed his efforts.
"Okay, I know, you can step back first!"
"The last will retire!" Liu gave a slam salute, then bent down.
With the passage of time, it has become the norm for Su Yu to go to the Dongmeng clan or Dongmeng to go to the Kyushu army station, and there is no longer the initial tension and uneasiness.
It's not about trust, it's just that after getting to know each other, you know that the other party won't inexplicably assassinate yourself.
Su Yu packed up, rode on a BMW, and took a few guards to the East Mengshi Clan.
The road was unimpeded, and everyone in the Eastern Mengshi had already known this powerful and outstanding Han man, and no one came out to interrogate and intercept him.
Ordering several guards to wait outside, Su Yu entered the Eastern Montessori tent alone.
As soon as I entered the big tent, I found that there were many people in the tent, and the core personnel in the settlements such as Dongmeng Hoda, Hele, and Dongmengzaha were all there.
Seeing Su Yu come in, Dongmeng Haoda, who was the leader, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Chi Li, you are finally here, just waiting for you!" β
"Li is rude, please forgive the head!"
"Where did Brother Chili say, hurry up and sit down!" Dongmeng waved his hand and motioned for Su Yu to hurry up and take a seat.
Several other people don't have the same good face as Dongmeng Haoda, especially Dongmengzaha, who has always been very hostile to Su Yu.
"What a big shelf!" East Monzaha muttered softly.
Although it was a soft mutter, everyone in the big tent listened to it lightly, and Dongmeng immediately shouted: "Shut up!" Then he smiled apologetically at Su Yu.
Su Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Seriously, if the Xianbei people were all people like East Monzaha, who only had muscles but not brains, Su Yu would be able to wake up with a smile when he slept!
It's a pity that the most powerful in Xianbei is the old fox like Dongmeng Da.
"Chief, I don't know why you invited us?" A Xianbei nobleman asked first.
"I learned of a huge conspiracy by Nariyoshi against our Eastern Montessori!" Dongmeng said in a low voice with a calm face.
"What conspiracy?" The others were suddenly aroused with curiosity, and even Su Yu couldn't help but be curious.
The contradiction between the Ji Lian clan and the Dongmeng clan is becoming increasingly fierce, and it is not surprising that Cheng Ji will play tricks to make the scheme, but he doesn't know what the specific conspiracy is.
"Cheng Ji wants to use the Chili brothers as if they had served the Han emperor in a vain attempt to force us to expel the Chili brothers and the warriors under his command!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xianbei tent suddenly looked different.
The Sinophobic activists led by East Monzaha were overjoyed, leaping and trying, and looking at Su Yu's eyes became more and more unkind.
However, more people are like Howler, although they hate Su Yu, but they understand that it is absolutely not advisable to expel Su Yu at this time.
Dongmeng Haoda first glared at his son Dongmeng Zaha fiercely, warned him not to act recklessly, and then continued: "Although Brother Chili used to be the minions of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, now he has repented, come to the grassland, and fought side by side with us many times, he is our close brother and friend, we can't let Cheng Ji slander him!" β
Dongmeng Haoda spoke up first, defining the incident as Chengji's trick to divide the Dongmeng clan, and blocked the opening to expel Su Yu from the Dongmeng clan in disguise.
Dongmeng Haoda is very sober-minded, although he is becoming more and more jealous of Su Yu's strength, but this is definitely not the time for infighting.
Dongmeng's ideal situation is to wait for Dongmeng to defeat Chengji before considering Su Yu's problem.
"Touren, we know that the Chili brothers are bent on my Da Xianbei and have completely cut ties with the Han Dynasty, but the other Yiluo don't know, even if we tell them, they may not believe it. If they misunderstand the Chili brothers and are used by Cheng Ji again, our Eastern Mongols will be in danger! β
Hoeller frowned and said in a deep voice.
"That's true, I wonder if you have any clever plans to crack Chengji's poisonous plan?" Dongmeng asked everyone under the tent, but his eyes kept drifting to Su Yu himself.
Su Yu sat upright on the chair, his face unchanged, as if the things everyone was discussing had nothing to do with him at all.
"Brother Chi Li, what do you think?" As a last resort, Dongmeng Haoda asked Su Yu directly by name.
"According to the orders of the leader alone, if my departure can save the Eastern Montessori, I am willing to take people away." Su Yu retreated as he advanced, with an expression that I was thinking about the tribe.
"Ahem, don't mention it again at this time, we definitely won't give up on our friends!" Dongmeng Da felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly when he heard this, but he had to say comfort.
"What do other people think?" Dong Meng Hao Da looked around in the big tent and said loudly.
"Chief, why don't we challenge the Ji Lian clan?" HΓΆhler hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke up.
As soon as Howler's words fell, the big tent suddenly became like a vegetable market.
"Challenge" is an ancient custom among the Xianbei people, just like the prime-aged wolf in the wolf pack challenging the old wolf king to compete for a new king.
It's just that this duel is not between individuals, but a big battle between two towns, and the victorious side can settle in the tribe's tent, and the clan leader will naturally become the new marshal, and the other towns must obey the leadership of the marshal, and they can't continue to challenge for at least five years.
However, since Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei and established the Xianbei Alliance, this custom has been gradually abolished.
The tribal marshal is either appointed in the Dragon City, or elected by each tribe, and then reported to the Dragon City for canonization. The Orthodox "Challenge" has not been held for a long time.
Of course, there was no official order announcing the abolition of the challenge, so if the Eastern Mongols wanted to challenge Nariyoshi, it would be legally and customarily defensible.
"Quiet!" Dong Meng slammed the table and roared, stopping the riot in the big tent.
Then he glanced at Hoeller and continued: "Brother Holler, you go on with what you think! β
"Chiefs, warriors." Hoeller stood up, looked around, and said, "As things stand, Naruyoshi's intention to kill us is clear, and we must not back down. Dongmeng's background is insufficient, and if he retreats, he will fall into the abyss. Therefore, we can only face it head-on! β
Everyone nodded after hearing this, the current situation is like this, it is not that the Dongmeng clan wants to compete with Chengji, but if they don't fight, they will die! East Montessori has to fight!
"But!" Holler's voice changed and continued: "Cheng Ji has been a little marshal for many years, and he still has some prestige, if we rashly start a head-on war with him, he occupies the righteous name, and he also carries the momentum of people and peace, our chances of winning are not high!" β
Speaking of harmony, Heller deliberately glanced at Su Yu, obviously Su Yu's Han identity is Chengji's biggest person.
However, he also thought the same as Dongmeng Haoda, he definitely couldn't expel Su Yu according to Chengji's plan!
When the people heard this, they were either deep in thought or indignant, but no one, including the most brainless East Monzaha, said anything to refute it.
What Hoeller said is indeed true, and now with the background of the Eastern Mongshi, rashly starting a war with Chengji, the chances of victory are indeed not great.
"Since we can't rush to declare war on Nariyoshi, why are we still proposing to launch a challenge? Isn't this for us to die for the East Montess? β
