Chapter 7: The Black Hand
Qin Yunuan looked sideways at the position of Xia Bocharji, and the faint light and shadow could make her judge that this Khan of the Northern Grassland was an extremely tall man, and in comparison, the warrior behind him looked a little lean.
The samurai of Bocharzi's side strode into the ring, and the half-pulled woolen sleeves were tucked into the belt by the man, looking capable and resolute.
The ceremonial officer continued to report the serial number: "No. 2, the warrior chosen by the regent." ”
The regent smiled slightly, as if he had full courage, and even turned his head and ordered the warriors behind him: "Maugham, Bocharji Khan is an elder, when you compete, you must not hurt the Khan's men." ”
As soon as the regent's words came out, it immediately attracted Bocharji's dissatisfaction, and Bocharji said in a thick voice: "The prince can't do this, you let your subordinates let my warriors, that is, slap me in the face, let's this time, the real gun is on the ground" After speaking, he said to the lean man in the ring: "Do your best, if you are injured and disabled, I will support your old mother until she is old." ”
Then he arched his hand towards the regent, "Lord, don't be merciful." ”
The regent just smiled and watched the movement in the ring.
Although this man named Maugham is a head shorter than the lean man on Bocharzi's side, he can win in a flexible and steady game, his eyebrows and eyes are exquisite and ruthless, Qin Yunuan can't see the two clearly, but he can clearly hear the strong heartbeat of the two, Qin Yunuan's hearing is getting better and better recently.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, which was the momentum of Maugham's horizontal leg sweep, when the two of them made a move, one move and one style had both the brute force advocated by the Beidi Hanzi, as well as the skills of hand-to-hand combat and wrestling, just when the two were close to each other, the man on Bocharji's side suddenly kicked his legs, his eyes opened wide, and his mouth began to spit white foam.
The people around who watched the contest immediately panicked, and the Great Khan of Beidi immediately sent someone over to check the situation, and Bocharzi's eyes were full of worry, but the regent was very indifferent.
Qin Yunuan smiled slightly, and sure enough, he got the answer he wanted from the mouth of the ceremonial official who went to check: "Back to the Great Khan, the warriors of Bocharji have blue tongues and dark faces, as if they have been poisoned. ”
Poisoning?
Beidi Great Khan frowned even more tightly when he heard this answer, and Wan Yanba took the opportunity to make trouble and said: "Which one is so bold that he dares to do something under the nose of the Great Khan, Song Lian, you know how to heal, go and find out what is going on." ”
After Yan Ba finished speaking, Wan Yan Su replied leisurely: "Big brother, the Great Khan is still sitting in the seat, and the eldest brother is so arbitrary to give an order, I am afraid that it is disrespectful to the Great Khan." "The implication is that you are so arrogant in front of the Great Khan, can't you wait to climb to the position of the Great Khan?
Wan Yan Ba hesitated for a moment, but Beidi Great Khan had already nodded in agreement, and Wan Yan Su could only endure the white eyes and contempt thrown by Wan Yan Ba, which was shi'ēi, and showed off his supreme glory.
Wan Yansu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Leng Changxi's reminder came from his ears: "Your Highness must remember that the more the eldest prince shows off, the closer he is to the end of his glory." ”
Song Lian responded to Yan Ba's order to carefully check the injury of this warrior of Bocharji, and there was no need to look at it, Qin Yunuan could describe the injury of this warrior.
"The wound on the back of the neck of the Bocharji warrior is needle-shaped, and there is blood clotting around the wound, which is black and has a fishy smell, which should be the poison of Tripterygium wilfordii, which is first quenched to the silver needle, and then attacked while people are not paying attention;
。 ”
What Qin Yunuan thought in his heart was exactly the same as the news of Song Lian's return.
Qin Yunuan smiled, and he could already hear Beidi Khan's big palm slapping fiercely on the chair handle wrapped in tiger skin.
"Check me, who is secretly attacking, and actually dares to hurt my Beidi warriors."
Wan Yanba took the opportunity to echo: "That's right, go check if there are any traces of bows and crossbows placed around." "Shooting poisoned silver needles with bows and crossbows to hunt prey is itself a common method used by the nomads of the Beidi steppe.
Unexpectedly, a cold and piercing voice suddenly sounded: "The attacker does not need to use a bow and crossbow to design in the distance, in fact, closer to each other has more advantages." ”
"Which mouthy one is talking?" Wan Yanba looked very irritable.
Leng Changxi came out in response, and only then did he paced into people's field of vision, and he was greeted by Wan Yanba's overwhelming ridicule: "It turned out to be you, a useless ugly monster, who are you?" On what basis do you speak? Didn't your master teach you, as a minion, not to interject at will? ”
In the face of Wan Yanba's personal attack, Leng Changxi was not in a hurry at all, he knew that the more calm you are in dealing with this kind of person, the more crazy he will be, and the more crazy he is, the more beneficial it will be to you.
Wan Yansu said with some seriousness: "Big brother, I said that Tuoba Gongzi is a distinguished guest I invited, not a minion. ”
Wan Yan Ba glanced at Wan Yan Su arrogantly: "What's the difference?" ”
Instead, the regent asked with interest, "Your surname is Tuoba?" What is your relationship with the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom? ”
"What's wrong with the surname Tuoba?" Wanyan held his head high and said disapprerovingly.
The regent smiled warmly: "The eldest prince doesn't know, Tuoba is an ancient surname in Western Xia, and it was originally the same as the surname 'Jing' of the Western Xia royal family, and later separated for various reasons, but it is still the most noble surname in Western Xia, and there are not many people with the surname Tuoba, so I asked this Tuoba prince if he has some connection with the Western Xia Kingdom." ”
Leng Changxi bowed his head and replied casually: "No, it's just an ordinary surname." ”
At this time, the Great Khan of Beidi took over: "You just said that this silver needle may not be shot from a distance, and it is more advantageous to be close to it, and you have not finished speaking, what do you mean by your words?" ”
Leng Changxi shrugged: "It's very simple." After speaking, he pointed directly to the warrior named Maugham who was sent by the regent, "You can search him to see if he has a silver needle on his body." ”
"Ridiculous!" It was not the regent who stood up first, but Wan Yanba, who was already extremely irritable and impulsive, "Maugham is a well-known warrior in our Beidi, how could he do such a nasty thing, I don't care if you are a Tuoba or a pig, a dog, a cow or a sheep, you have to be responsible for what you say." After speaking, he directly took out the golden scimitar carved with a spirit snake on the side, jumped up from the seat, and aimed the tip of the knife directly at Leng Changxi, the speed was so fast that it was terrifying.
The fierce and murderous aura that came to his face was almost suffocating, Leng Changxi held his breath, and felt Wan Yanba's movement with his spiritual breath, just when the tip of Wan Yanba's knife was about to stab Leng Changxi's face, another strong force and this ferocious aura were entangled together, Leng Changxi put away his posture of wanting to make a move, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the regent had appeared beside him at some point;
The regent held the handle of a golden cup in his hand, and the mouth of the golden cup was facing the tip of Wanyan Ba's knife, and he used a cup that could be seen to stop Wanyan Ba's violence, and the technique was unusual.
Leng Changxi looked at the regent quietly, obviously so far away, but he could be light and fast as if he was right next to Leng Changxi.
"Uncle Huang." Wan Yanba was stunned, a little surprised.
The regent turned his head and glanced at Yan Ba coldly, but when he looked back at Leng Changxi, his eyes immediately became relaxed.
"Ba'er is still young and a little impulsive, and I hope you will forgive me."
Wan Yanba didn't understand, he had always covered the sky with one hand, why would the imperial uncle who leaned towards the government and the opposition be polite to such an inconspicuous ugly monster.
Leng Changxi turned his head indifferently, and only looked at the Bocharji warrior who was already unable to move in the ring and the man named Maugham under the regent: "There is only a country wild man below, the prince does not have to be polite, if the prince has a heart, it is better to send someone to search this warrior named Maugham to see if there is a silver needle." ”
Wan Yanba wanted to reprimand, but the regent raised his hand, and there was only one word in his words - search!
After a while, the soldiers who went to search reported the results.
"Report to the prince, find a magnet in Maugham's belt, and suck a silver needle on it."
The regent frowned slightly: "Take it." ”
A tray was immediately brought up, and there was a silver needle with the length of an index finger and the thickness of an embroidery needle in it, which was first handed over to the Great Khan of Beidi, who only glanced at it roughly, and then he was a little unable to lift his strength, as if he was extremely tired.
Song Lian looked at the silver needle and checked the poison on the silver needle, then nodded and said, "The poison on this head is Lei Gongteng." ”
Before this sentence came out, Song Lian was threatened by Wan Yanba's eyes: "Song Lian, you Qi person, you have to be careful when you speak." ”
Bocharji snorted coldly: "What is careless, Mr. Song will say whatever he wants, Regent, the warrior in your hand has plotted against my men, this time, how should it be calculated?" ”
The regent looked at Maugham coldly, this look was not at all the meaning of speaking for him, Maugham's legs were weak, and he had already knelt down and begged the regent for mercy, saying that he had not done it, but unfortunately there was all the human and material evidence, and Bocharzi Khan was a lover, and he said bluntly: "A warrior who wins by sneak attack, what face does he have to live in this world." ”
The regent nodded approvingly, and threw a glittering dagger at Maugham: "Then Maugham, you can kill yourself with this." ”
Maugham naturally didn't dare, Beidi is not like Daqi, and it is ominous to see blood in front of the monarch of Daqi, but Beidi has blood xing, Beidi Dahan himself has stabbed Jiān ministers in the court, looking at Maugham's trembling appearance, Leng Changxi suddenly stepped forward: "Since this warrior doesn't dare, then help the prince in the next place." With that, he pinched the handle of the knife wrapped in black cloth and plunged three inches into Maugham's ribs.
"You dare!" With Wan Yan Ba's roar, Maugham's waist was already bleeding, Leng Changxi raised his head, let go of the dagger in his hand, looked at Wan Yan Ba coldly, and said provocatively: "The eldest prince, what are you nervous about killing this scum who made a secret move on the order of the prince?" ”
