Chapter 229: Misjudgment
The grass on the wide grassland is like waves, and the sky is beautiful at the beginning of the day.
The golden sunlight was scattered, staining the shallow shadow of Mo Shihuan who was standing.
The first time someone would refuse themselves, this person was still a woman.
King Wu's cold eyes narrowed, but his displeased expression was secretly suppressed, and he smiled lightly: "This king has been rejected for the first time today, but this king is unreasonable."
Mo Shihuan ignored the ridicule in his words, and replied: "King Wu is the most virtuous prince of the dynasty, born noble, who doesn't praise and respect when he sees it, but Shihuan doesn't want to be eye-catching, too ostentatious, I'm afraid that if I give a small eye to pick up Huan, it will cause trouble." If it is because of this, it is really a sin to provoke the prince's displeasure. ”
A song of praise and a reluctance to worry about King Wu, coupled with the gorgeous god who is neither humble nor arrogant, King Wu really has nothing to refute for a while, the so-called person who does not stretch out his hand and does not hit the smiling face is such a beauty.
That's it, King Wu didn't want to pursue this inconsequential matter, and now he had more to worry about, so he stepped on the horse and turned the horse's head and galloped away.
"What a clever mouth." Zhuo Chen looked at King Wu, who was gradually moving away with the smoke and dust, and there was a hint of a smile in his light eyes.
Mo Shihuan waited for King Wu to leave for a long time, and now that only she and Zhuo Chen were left, she immediately relaxed, completely lost the clever words just now, and only got on the horse and drove forward.
Zhuo Chen was not angry at Mo Shihuan's unreasonableness, he rode his horse to follow, and did not say anything to Mo Shihuan during the whole process.
The desert is lonely, the sky is full of Gobi and loess is so dry that there is no trace of wet land to be seen, and it is particularly easy to search for the base camp of the barbarians. According to what the scout said, after passing the steep slope and cliff a few feet forward, he saw the camp of the barbarians, and the bulging bags sprung up like cats after a rain.
"Toot-"
The old barbarian saw a group of people coming from this side, and the person who came was not good and immediately blew the trumpet.
When Wu Wang Zhuochen rode his horse closer, a group of barbarians had already rushed out of the yurt with big knives.
"Stop!" One of the barbarians seemed to be the head of the clan, and with a wave of his hand, he threw a heavy knife and flew towards Zhuo Chen, Zhuo Chen was startled and immediately stopped the team's body and flew up on horseback, and with a sweep of his right foot, he easily kicked the flying heavy knife, and turned around and flew towards the head of the barbarian.
The head man turned to one side, the knife grazed his face and fell heavily into the soil, and the head man turned to look at Zhuo Chen's eyes with hot eyes.
"Shout at them." King Wu ordered the cavalry.
The cavalry went up and said that he was here to negotiate with the barbarians, and the suspicious leader saw that Zhuo Chen's group of people was only a few dozen, so he opened the way to the suspicions, but asked them to dismount and walk.
Everyone dismounted according to the words, and King Wu led the way into the big yurt room of the head of the barbarian clan, and only after everyone sat down did King Wu look at the head and said: "Your clan was originally a scattered tribe, and once swore that it would not invade the homeland, and it had been friends with our country for several years, why did you suddenly assemble and wander around?"
The head man looked at King Wu but didn't answer, King Wu thought that they were deliberately looking for trouble, so he raised his voice with a cold face: "If you want to rebel, you should also weigh your own weight, and don't dream of meaningless things."
"No, we want home!" The headman's hard words are clueless.
"Home, this is not your home!" King Wu was unceremonious.
Zhuo Chen got up and answered: "Your clan has kept its oath for many years, what is the reason for the sudden attack, if there is really any difficulty, we can help you."
The man's eyes seemed to flicker slightly, he looked at King Wu and then at Zhuo Chen, and finally pointed at Zhuo Chen lightly and said, "You come with me, and the others stay here."
The two immediately got up and left.
King Wu was immediately displeased, he was ordered to check the situation this time, why did Zhuo Chen Yue negotiate with the barbarians on his behalf, he stood up and wanted to follow, but the strong barbarians at the door blocked King Wu back.
I don't know what the two of them said, until a long time, I saw Zhuo Chen and the head man chatting and walking back, the atmosphere was completely different from before, and even ordered his subordinates to roast the whole sheep for everyone and prepare a bonfire party to welcome everyone at night.
If the two of them were judged before and after, King Wu's expression was even more gloomy.
After the discussion was over, Mo Shihuan asked Zhuo Chen what he had talked about with the barbarian, and Zhuo Chen said: "I didn't say anything, this barbarian just told me that they didn't want to attack our dynasty, but needed a new homeland and had no choice."
"For what?" Mo Shihuan didn't understand. They lived well in the original place, and it was ridiculous to say that they suddenly came out like this just because they wanted to change houses.
Or is the intelligence wrong? Zhuo Chen thought about it and called someone to check.
A quarter of an hour later, his subordinate Ah San came back and said, "I went to check, and after asking the surrounding barbarians, I found that the prairie had not fallen in the last few months. Many of the crops did not survive, and I went to the surrounding places where I could see the river, and the riverbed was dry. Only one of the lakes closest to the cantonment had water in it. ”
"No wonder" Mo Shihuan recalled the dry and cracked land he had seen along the way, and finally understood why the barbarians suddenly gathered around the land and wandered, just because the barbarians were looking for water sources, so they also had the intention of not existing.
"That means it's fake." Mo Shihuan looked at Zhuo Chen, and there was no need to say more about what she meant.
Zhuo Chen was thoughtful, of course, he understood that this was probably deliberate, and someone was doing something to the court about the excerpts that were reported to the court. This man is trying to stir up strife. Zhuo Chen's eyes were heavy, and he ordered: "I want to find out who made trouble in the first place, I want to see who it is."
It was night, and a person came in the leader's tent, and this person was Zi Yunlan. She went into the tent and said to the leader, "These people from the court are not good people."
The leader was puzzled: "But when I talked to them, the man surnamed Zhuo didn't seem to have malicious intent, and there were only a dozen of them, and there was no combat effectiveness if they wanted to fight."
"You know, that's a salute before a soldier, and when you let down your vigilance, they will do it immediately. Don't underestimate these dozen people, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, one can be worth ten, you think too highly of yourself. ”
"What then?" The head man panicked.
"Kill the one surnamed Zhuo, he is the central character, as soon as he dies, those can be easily eliminated." Zi Yunlan said coldly.
The head man had seen Zhuo Chen's ability, and he really didn't doubt that the other party had this strength.
"So, I see." The leader nodded, a fierce look on his face.
Before dawn in the east, a group of barbarians had gently approached Zhuo Chen's tent, showing the scimitar in their hands and preparing to kill Zhuo Chen.
