Chapter 169: Peace
"Below, there is not one left, all of them will be put to death."
The king of the Huns looked at the ministers below who were trembling with doubt and fear, his eyes were slightly cold, and there was no room for sand in his eyes.
Adil got the order and signaled to the barbarian, and the guards inside and outside the hall pulled out the scimitars at their waists and slashed everywhere.
The king of the Huns sat back on the throne and quietly watched the hustle and bustle and struggle below.
When everything was over, the Hun king remembered something, looked back at Adil, and said.
"Where's the cook?"
There was a bit of eagerness in his words, as if he was afraid that He Ding would not protect Zuo Xiangling.
"Back to my father, he is safe now, and my son will bring him to you immediately."
With that, Adil saluted, turned and walked out of the main hall, and in a few moments appeared at the door of the kitchen.
"What about people?"
I asked the secret guard who was guarding the kitchen, and walked inside as I asked.
"Report to the second prince, he is in the kitchen, and he hasn't come out since he went in last night."
Adil didn't speak again, searched in the kitchen, but didn't see any sound, his eyes sank, and when he was about to ask for guilt, he suddenly saw the corner of his clothes in the gap in the cabinet.
Smiled and walked to the cabinet, Adil squatted down, hesitated for a moment before gently opening the cabinet door, when the cabinet door opened, what came into view was a dream picture, although Zuo Xiangling was wearing men's clothes at the moment, but the slightly sideways face was indescribably good-looking.
Not only is it fair and smooth, but it also has a bit of pink, and between breaths, the long eyelashes flutter, making people breathe a sigh.
After hesitating for a moment, Adil reached out and carried the person out of the cabinet, only to feel that the weight in his hand was like the skeleton of clothes, and there was no weight at all.
How could he not have noticed this man so thin before?
Ignoring everyone's curious eyes all the way, Adil directly carried the person outside the main hall.
"Wake up."
screamed softly, Zuo Xiangling's eyelashes just fluttered, and she didn't wake up, Adil chuckled, and the hand around Zuo Xiangling's waist suddenly increased its strength, Zuo Xiangling suddenly felt pain, and thought from her sleep.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with seeing Adil's face, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly woke up and jumped out of Adil's arms.
"You, you, you ......"
Pointing at Adil with one hand, Zuo Xiangling was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Adil chuckled.
"Father is looking for you, and I'll talk about it later."
After speaking, he walked in front with a smile, and seeing that Zuo Xiangling did not follow, he glanced back, full of urging.
Zuo Xiangling was full of doubts at this time, where did Adile's look just now look like the fool she used to be, why she just slept in the cabinet all night, why did everything change.
Looking at the corpse in the hall, Zuo Xiangling was so frightened that she suddenly didn't remember anything.
The corpses stacked one after another, which can already cover the blood of the color of the floor tiles, how can it not be scary.
Trying her best to suppress this fear, Zuo Xiangling turned her head away and didn't look at it, but the tip of her nose was still full of disgusting sweetness.
Standing in front of the King of the Huns, Zuo Xiangling came back to his senses slightly, looking at his kind gaze, Zuo Xiangling also smiled.
Everything before was finally in vain.
"See the King."
Zuo Xiangling clasped his hands and saluted, and when he looked up, he saw the Hun King looking at him with a smile on his face.
"You handled this matter very well, you know how to adapt on the spot, I am very satisfied, what reward do you want?"
As soon as he heard the Hun King mention the reward, Zuo Xiangling's eyes lit up, and after waiting for so long, he finally waited for the opportunity.
"Returning to the king, I hope that the Xiongnu can sign a peace treaty with the state of Chu, and the two countries will not go to war again in a hundred years."
After Zuo Xiangling finished speaking, she only felt that the surrounding atmosphere had changed suddenly, and the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"Hahaha, I like it bold enough, I have the bold demeanor of my clan, let's talk about it, why do you want peace between the two countries, it's obviously none of your business.
Moreover, didn't you flee the state of Chu to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, ask for an official and a half position from me, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life, it is not cost-effective for you to make this request, but you have not gained any benefits. ”
Seeing the look of the Hun King, there was no meaning of anger, it seemed that it was just pure curiosity, Zuo Xiangling said.
"I'm just an ordinary man who just wants to live in peace for the rest of my life, but now both countries are ready to go to war and destroy each other's countries.
It is the poor people of both countries who suffer from the war, which not only affects their livelihoods, but may also be persecuted at any time.
In fact, if there is a contradiction between the two countries, it does not have to be resolved through war, and mutual trade can not only increase the income of their own countries and improve people's livelihood, but also stop fighting each other. ”
Zuo Xiangling shook his head, as if he was expressing his feelings, but the King of the Huns listened carefully and spoke after a while.
"This war was not my original intention, and now that my wish has been fulfilled, it is time to fulfill my promise to the gods."
At this point, the king of the Huns folded his hands and closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
In the end, after Zuo Xiangling confirmed with him that there would be a truce, she was driven away with Adil on the grounds of physical discomfort, and walked out of the hall.
"You, don't you have anything to explain?"
Zuo Xiangling tilted her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked like a teacher asking for guilt.
Adil was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, and coughed lightly.
"Well, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
As he spoke, he was about to leave, Zuo Xiangling snorted coldly and said.
"Don't you want to hide, it's not that I don't know the way to the Prince's Mansion, do you tell the truth yourself, or do I let you speak?"
The coercion could not be more obvious, Adil had to stop when he heard it, turned his head and smiled.
"This is a long story, why don't you talk about your relationship with your father first, how did you hide it from your eldest brother?"
The Hun King left Zuo Xiangling alone to speak, he heard from his subordinates, but the content of this conversation is unknown.
Zuo Xiangling smiled coldly.
"Don't try to change the subject, if you want to know, just tell me what I want to know, maybe I'll tell you as soon as I'm in a good mood."
Raising her eyebrows, Zuo Xiangling climbed into Adil's carriage by herself.
Adil smiled helplessly, also got into the carriage, and waited for the carriage to start moving, Adil said.
"Actually, when I was twelve years old, I was almost drowned, and my father found out that the real culprit was the eldest brother's mother, and thought that he only had two sons in total, and there were few of them, so he asked me to be a fool from now on, so that I could protect myself."
Speaking of this, Adil's eyes were sad, Zuo Xiangling seemed to have guessed something, she had never heard him mention his mother since she had known Adil for so long, and she thought that he should be dead.
A young boy wanted to save himself in this place where he ate people and did not spit out bones, so he listened to his father and became a fool for ten years.
