Chapter XXIV
In the afternoon, the strong sunlight almost scorched this barren land, and I stood on the castle tower, squinting at the pergola erected a hundred meters away---- and later, Ziling would be there to negotiate with He Lu. Naturally, I won't nest here, change into the clothes of the Han army, and prepare to go to the Mausoleum.
Ziling called behind me, I 'licked' 'licked' my chapped lips, I didn't sleep all night, I only lay down for a while in the morning, and now I was tired, but I still insisted on following.
I lowered the brim of my hat to block the sun, then nodded to Ziling, got off the tower, and rode a dog to follow Ziling.
There were 500 cavalry behind Ziling and He Lu, but these 500 people were only waiting thirty meters away, and there were three or four people on each side of the pergola who entered the pergola.
He Lu arrived first with two guards, and Ziling and I were also followed by two guards, thirty meters to play is cavalry, if anyone moves first, it may not be cheap.
He Lu's eyebrows were 'gloomy', and his eyes swept me sharply, I didn't avoid it, and only glanced at him lightly.
"What about the regent?" Ziling's momentum was not inferior to He Lu, and I could feel the awe-inspiring murderous aura beside him.
He Lu sneered: "Your regent is not in good health, and he is currently recuperating from his injuries in the camp. ”
Ziling said angrily: "What did you do to him!"
He Lu said two words of Turkic contemptuously, and the two 'guards' behind him laughed maliciously, and then said to Ziling: "I heard, you are his brother-in-law? Go back and tell your sister that her man has been slept with by me, so let's remarry as soon as possible!"
Ziling was furious, I stopped him, and asked He Lu coldly: "Just say what you want." ”
This time it was He Lu's turn to be angry, and he yelled without warning: "What are you! Lao Tzu is talking to your boss, what are you 'plugging'!"
I frowned, knowing that he was angry that I had lost those cavalry by running away, so I ignored it and said directly: "You should know what I am, and what I say naturally has some weight." Since you want to negotiate, show some sincerity in negotiation, what else will you do before you are willing to let the regent go?"
He Lu gritted his teeth and looked at me, pointed at me and nodded, "Okay, good, good, since you have spoken, then I will put forward conditions! I know what that little white face means to you, without him, even if there is an auxiliary king, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve a big thing, and the emperor does not need to say it! Therefore, I want to ---- the fourteen states of Andong......
A trace of contempt appeared on my face, and I said coldly: "Wishful thinking!" I quickly calculated in my heart, after cutting the fourteen states of Andong, the protectorate of Andong would retreat to Liaodong, and the fourteen states not only have a good grassland, but also a few passes are important military places. Although I can save Enlightenment at all costs, if I agree too easily, I am afraid that they will open their mouths.
He Lu sneered: "My words are not finished yet, I not only want the Fourteen Prefectures of Andong, I also want to ---- you!"
"Presumptuous!" Ziling shouted angrily.
He Lu glanced at him and said mockingly: "General Gao is so angry! When I said I wanted the Fourteen Prefectures just now, you weren't so 'excited', why did you 'agitate' like this as soon as I said I wanted this 'woman'...... You're also hooked on this **!"
Ziling was annoyed and ashamed, and pulled out his sword a few times, but I held him down and said to He Lu: "It is my blessing that the Khan can see me, but it is only the fourteen states of Andong, I'm afraid it is a little too much." ”
"You have to 'figure it out'! If I didn't have that little white face, I would have taken the whole world as easily as digging into my bag! Don't miss the world for the sake of just fourteen states!"
I smiled and said, "In that case, why does the Khan go far and far, just kill the regent and overthrow the entire Han family in the future!" After a pause, I added: "The Khan knows what kind of person I am, so there is no need to fool me with these words." There is no regent, and there is me, I am, and the world is here. ”
He Lu stared at me coldly, I ignored him, and said to Ziling: "It seems that the Khan does not have the sincerity to negotiate seriously with us, there is no need to talk about it today, let's go!"
Saying that, I really turned around and left, and Ziling naturally followed. Before he got on the horse, he heard He Lu shouting: "Stop!"
I turned around and smiled, "Does the Khan have any other orders?"
He Lu gritted his teeth and said: "That little white face has been poisoned by me, if I don't give me the antidote, he will definitely die within three days!"
I still smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, if he dies, he won't fight for the world with my grandson, but I want to thank Khan!"
"Come on, bring that little white face over and kill it on the spot!" He Lu burst into cheers behind me.
I gritted my teeth, my body shook slightly, Ziling grabbed my arm and whispered, "Are you really sure......"
I'm not sure, I'm not sure! It's just a gamble, but I don't know who wins or loses in the end!
I straightened my back, and when I looked back, I saw Azili leading someone to carry Hu's bed, and Hu's bed was full of pain and torture. My heart was like a knife, and I still said to Ziling: "Knock down the pergola." ”
Although Ziling didn't know what I meant, he still jumped up and unsheathed the golden knife according to his words, the knife flashed, and the pergola fell to the ground with a bang. The guards beside He Lu pulled out their waist swords, and the Turkic cavalry also pulled out their waist swords, and they would rush over as soon as they gave an order. And our soldiers were not to be outdone, and showed their blades one after another.
He Lu glared at Ziling angrily, and I smiled at him: "Then ask the Khan to kill the regent in front of the soldiers of our army, so as to revive the morale of our army!"
He Lu was stunned, Aqili bowed his head and said something in his ear, and his face was even more ugly. Qi Min leaned on Hu's bed, and said with a smile: "It seems that there are several benefits to my death, in addition to reviving the morale of our army, the Empress Dowager ...... If you go back, you can also get back together with the auxiliary king, and you can live and live together. ”
I looked at him with a smile and said, "Then I will accept your good words." ”
He also looked at me with a smile on his lips, and even though I felt a dull pain in my heart, I didn't dare to show it. It's just that He Lu over there wanted to cut me with a knife, glaring at me and roaring: "**!**!"
I waved my hand: "There is Lao Khan!"
He Lu naturally would not kill Qi Min on the spot, otherwise, "When the Han army saw the tragic death of the regent, they would definitely be furious, and their morale would be doubled, and they would 'want' to fight to the death with the Turkic soldiers!"
Enlightenment has become a hot potato in the hands of He Lu!
When I rode the dog and was about to leave, He Lu shouted: "I can do without the Fourteen Prefectures of Anton, but you must stay!"
Everyone was stunned, and I turned my head and looked at him in bewilderment.
I thought he wanted the Fourteen States, and if it was just the Fourteen States in exchange for Enlightenment, I had no objection, but he ...... Qi Ming's face turned cold, and he made my eyes "color" at me and let me go.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Give him the antidote." ”
He Lu sneered: "Then you have to add more chips!"
I closed my eyes fiercely, I had already made a decision in my mind, opened them again, and said coldly: "I, plus the three states of Anton, change the regent and the antidote!"
"No!" Qi Min and Ziling stopped in unison.
"Okay!" He Lu gladly accepted.
