Chapter 610: Race against time
Outside the royal tent of the Khan's court was originally a huge open space, but now it has been set up for the grand wedding that is about to begin.
Not far from this platform was an inconspicuous tent, and in one of the tents, Zhuoli Getu, the Holy King of Rouge Mountain, was closing his eyes and recuperating.
At this moment, a steppe warrior slowly opened the curtain and walked in.
"Master, the Great Khan has invited Xu Rui, and now they are about to enter the Khan Court."
The man said respectfully to Zhuo Ligetu.
Zhuo Ligetu didn't raise his eyes, and asked lightly: "How many people did Xu Rui bring?" ”
The man said: "About thirty people, eight carts!" ”
Zhuo Ligetu sneered: "This person's courage is really not ordinary, do you think that the kid that day can save his life?" ”
The man didn't know who the kid in Zhuo Ligetu's mouth was that day, so he didn't answer, but asked in a deep voice, "Master, when will we do it?" ”
Zhuo Ligetu said: "Wait for Xu Rui to read out the holy decree of the Great Wei Emperor to canonize the Great Khan." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "At that time, it was in full view of everyone, and we are afraid that it will be too much to do with the blatant assassination of Great Wei Qincha, right?" ”
Zhuo Ligetu said: "Although the Great Khan is brave and wise, and he is an outstanding leader of my steppe once in a thousand years, his use of the opportunity of the Hebei Alliance to assassinate the Great Khan has always been a stain that is difficult to wash away in his life.
Even though the Great Khan is now leading the steppe to prosperity, there are still many tribes who refuse to obey him, and many people always think that he is not in the right position and is not the real Great Khan of the steppe.
This time, if the Great Khan can be canonized by the Great Wei, the only legal loophole in his ascension to the throne will also disappear, and he will be able to unite the entire steppe in the name of the Great Khan.
Therefore, whether to marry a princess or not is secondary, but the canonized edict must be read out in public, in order to reassure everyone, we can only wait for Xu Rui to finish reading the edict before we start. ”
"Then why don't you wait until later?"
The man was still puzzled.
Zhuo Ligetu said lightly: "Do you think Xu Rui has any good intentions?" He and Princess Qixia are old loves, this time the Great Khan named Princess Qixia to make peace, Xu Rui because the overall situation could not be stopped, so he came to the grassland thousands of miles away, in order to regain his lover.
After the canonization edict was read, it was followed by the reading of the edict of Heqin, they Han people pay attention to honor, Xu Rui will never allow Heqin edict to be read out in public, otherwise Princess Qixia will lose her innocence.
Therefore, he will definitely attack the Great Khan before the edict is read out, and we have to take the first step. ”
Hearing this, the man wondered: "Even if Xu Rui wants to attack the Great Khan, but his army is far away, and there is Master and you are sitting in the Khan Court, are we still afraid of him?" ”
Zhuo Ligetu sneered and said: "You don't understand this, I heard that Xu Rui is a rising star among the Han people in recent years, and his actions after his birth are unpredictable, and the means are endless, and the limelight is close to the soldier saint in the Southern Dynasty."
Such a person can't give him a little room to show, otherwise it is very likely to catch us off guard, even if there is a promising teacher, he does not dare to guarantee that it will be foolproof. ”
"I see......"
The man nodded, finally understanding the ins and outs.
At this time, the outside of the tent suddenly became lively, and the cheers one after another were like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year.
"The Great Khan has returned to the Khan's Court!"
The man exclaimed.
Zhuo Ligetu finally opened his eyes, slowly got up and said: "Inform everyone to get ready, this time at the request of the Great Khan, the teacher will personally capture Xu Rui, you pay attention to protect the safety of the Great Khan, Xu Rui has a master by his side, you are not opponents, but as long as it drags on for a moment and a half, the teacher will be able to free up his hands and dispose of that person!" ”
"Disciple obeys!"
The man agreed, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
In the Khan Court, Xu Rui and Princess Luan drove slowly into the Khan Court in the welcoming procession of Wuliji, and countless herdsmen flocked to the two sides of the team to welcome them, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"Hey, you've been studying the Khan Court for a long time, so you don't think I can keep you safe in this kind of place, do you? Now it's time to tell me, what exactly do you want me to do, right? ”
To get off the horse, he asked in a whisper behind Xu Rui.
Xu Rui glanced at Yaoli and said in a low voice: "Okay, to tell you the truth, the reason why I agreed to Wuliji to enter the Khan Court alone is for only one purpose, that is the Holy King of Rouge Mountain, Martial Saint Zhuoli Getu!" ”
You want to frown: "It's too late for you to hide from him in your martial arts, why do you want to look for him?" ”
Xu Rui sighed and said: "I'm not afraid of the army on the grassland, nor am I afraid of the cunning Uliji, but I'm only worried about Zhuo Ligetu, he is a martial saint, an outlier who shouldn't have appeared in this world, as long as he exists, there will always be variables in the plan." ”
"So you ventured into the Khan Court to find this variable?"
To leave the question in doubt.
Xu Rui nodded lightly: "That's right, I have to enter the Khan Court to eliminate the last variable, I guess Wu Liji will be in trouble the moment I finish reading the canonization edict, and the first person to do it is the Martial Saint, so you have to find out the Martial Saint who is hiding in the crowd and ready to attack at any time before that!" ”
Yaoli glanced at the situation of the crowd around him, and sneered: "If you want me to find a martial saint in the crowd, you really look up to me." ”
Xu Rui said: "I know this is difficult, but you must do it." ”
"What if I can't?"
To leave looked at Xu Rui with interest.
Xu Rui didn't reply: "Then we all have to die, not only you and me, but also more than 10,000 Heavenly Apocalypse Guards, of course, including the Shadow Maiden!" ”
"You!"
Yu Li Wenyan was furious in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You are gambling big, and even if I can find the Martial Saint in the crowd, it will only give you a warning a moment in advance."
It's not that you don't know how big the gap between the two ends of the threshold of the Martial Saint is, if he really makes a desperate move at you, even if I am behind you, there is absolutely no way to guarantee your safety! ”
Xu Rui nodded with a calm face: "I know, even if you are under the Martial Saint, you will never be able to make three moves, but what I want is the warning time at that moment!" ”
"What other hole cards do you have?"
To leave the frown asked.
Xu Rui shook his head: "This time there are no hole cards, only fighting, so you'd better show twelve points of seriousness, don't let us all die here." ”
I almost couldn't catch my breath when I heard the words, and glared at Xu Rui through gritted teeth and said: "This is not a fight for life, it is clearly a death, it doesn't matter if you die yourself, why do you have to pull the shadow maid to accompany you with me?!" ”
Xu Rui waved his hand and said lightly: "The matter has come to this point, even if you are sent to death, you can't frown, it's too late for you to regret it now." ”
Yaoli exhaled deeply and said, "You remember that this is the last time, and the next time I go crazy with you, I will write the name upside down!" ”
Xu Rui shrugged: "This sounds familiar, probably you often treat me, right?" ”
Yao Li sneered: "If you say half a word I don't like to hear, I will immediately pull the shadow maid and leave, even if it is death in the end, I will never die with you!" ”
Xu Rui suddenly laughed: "Hey, instead of fighting with me, you might as well think of a way now, how to find out that martial saint in a while!" ”
When he heard this, he suddenly felt a headache, and his fists were clenched tightly, eager to beat the cunning fox in front of him to half his body.
