Chapter XXXIX: The Covenant
Lin Qingzhi looked at Xiao Mufeng, shook her head with excitement in her heart and said, "You shouldn't come." ”
"If it were me, wouldn't you come?" Xiao Mufeng replied in a trembling voice.
"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, no wonder the second prince is fascinated by you, he is really a wonderful person, but you Han people have a saying called Hongyan... If it weren't for you, I am afraid that the big fish of the second prince today would not be baited. The moment Yelu Gu'er saw Lin Qingzhi, his eyes showed a look of surprise, if he knew that Lin Qingzhi was more amazing than her beauty, she probably wouldn't have said that.
"Looks are just given by parents, and they are not something to be proud of. General Yelu is a smart man, otherwise he would not have the status of above 10,000 people under this person, and he has won the trust of the Khitan king, if you let the general choose, will you choose Jiangshan or beauty? Lin Qingzhi did not flinch in her face, and said calmly.
"Nonsense, this king, as a general of our country, although his status is not low, he has never coveted the country, you don't want to be untrustworthy!" Yelugu's eyes glared angrily, and he pointed at Lin Qingzhi and said angrily.
"The general is wise and brave, and it is okay if you are willing to be subordinate to others, but have you ever planned for your children? The Khitan king is now relying on you, but is there any jealousy of the power in your hands You know better than me, people will always die, if he returns to heaven one day, will the current king or the son of the future king still allow your descendants to have heavy power and heavy soldiers? I'm afraid that it will kill you quickly, so are you sure you haven't thought about these problems? Or are you a general who has made great achievements, and you are weak and timid like a mouse, and you dare not do it? Lin Qingzhi's eyes were fierce and her tone was full, and Yelu Gu's forehead was also shocked by her momentum, and pondered in her words just now.
Only Yelu Geya couldn't see his father being humiliated, and the willow eyebrows stood up and said angrily: "Bold! A prisoner was so bold that someone came and cut out her tongue! Hearing this, the two soldiers stepped forward and held Lin Qingzhi down.
"Wait!" Yelugu stopped in a deep voice, "Why are you telling me this? What do you want? ”
"I just want the general to see the situation clearly, if you kill the two of us today, the general will certainly be able to make a great contribution in front of your king, and even get a few more cities, gold, silver and jewels, but what others have given can also be taken back at any time, if you want to keep it for a long time, you must hold the ownership yourself." Lin Qingzhi stared fiercely at Yelu Gu's forehead, although her body was delicate, the powerful aura she exuded could not be ignored.
Seeing that Yelu Gu'er was already a little moved, he said slowly: "If you let the two of us go today, the Khitan King will definitely condemn you for the crime of failing to protect us, but if the general wants to take over the power in the future, my Jin Kingdom will definitely help you, and according to the current situation of the emperor's favor and trust in His Royal Highness King Ning, if he gets to the throne one day, the two countries will become in-laws, exchange business markets, coexist peacefully, and share the prosperity of the world!" ”
Xiao Mufeng heard Lin Qingzhi's proposal to marry together, and anxiously spoke out and wanted to object, but Lin Qingzhi shook his head at him without waiting for him to say it.
"Father, my daughter thinks what she said is reasonable, it's a bit interesting!" Yelu Geya was overjoyed when she first saw Xiao Mufeng and wanted to take it for herself, but now when she heard Lin Qingzhi say that she wanted to marry her as a wife, she couldn't help but be happy, and looked at her father with anticipation.
There was a silence in the tent, and everyone didn't say anything more, Yelugu muttered Lin Qingzhi's words with his hand on his forehead, and after a quarter of an hour, he strengthened his mind, "Okay, according to your words, but... What about the battle of Jimen Pass? Yelugu hesitated, stroking the beard on his chin.
"In the first battle of Jimen Pass, please ask the general to pretend to be defeated, and my Jin army will not chase after him, General Yelu is extraordinary, the greater the military achievements, the more afraid the Khitan King will be, the greater your danger, you yourself think clearly whether what I said makes sense." Lin Qingzhi said earnestly.
"Good!" "But if I let you go back, how do I know you won't regret it?" Yelugu asked rhetorically with a gleam in his forehead.
"What do you mean by .....?" Lin Qingzhi said tentatively.
"I think the second prince values you very much, if you don't do this, give you a choice, take this pill, I will send you an antidote on time every year to save your life, until I ascend to the great treasure, what do you think?" Yelugu's thick eyebrows were raised, and the essence of his eyes was full of light.
"No way!" Xiao Mufeng blurted out without thinking at all, after all, he was an enemy, how could he easily believe it.
"You don't have to worry, if you want you to die now, I don't have to do more, this medicine is a chronic poison, if the poisoning is not solved, you will suffer the pain of broken tendons and bones, life is better than death, ordinary people can't bear it at all, and they won't die until a few years later, but I will send someone to send an antidote to you once a year, as long as you don't repent, I will definitely say what I say, and although my Khitan and you Han people have many fights in their own ways, but we will not be treacherous! You can rest assured. Seeing Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng's hesitation, Yelu Gu'er added.
"Okay, I promise you!" Lin Qingzhi thought about it for a while and felt that there was no other choice, so she had no choice but to leave this dangerous place first, so she reluctantly agreed.
"Untie the county lord of Zhaoning!" Yelu Gu'er ordered, the two soldiers separated the rope on Lin Qingzhi's hand, Lin Qingzhi shook the stiff hand joint, Xiao Mufeng immediately grabbed Lin Qingzhi's slender wrist and rubbed it gently.
Then Yelugu took out a white porcelain bottle from his body, took out a jet-black pill, and stretched out his hand to hand it out.
Lin Qingzhi didn't know martial arts, her hands were tied overnight, and her soreness was abnormal, and her natural movements were not as good as Xiao Mufeng, who was not weak in martial arts, before Lin Qingzhi reached out to pick it up, Xiao Mufeng had already taken the lead in snatching the pill from Yelu Gu's hand and stuffing it into his mouth, and even Yelu Gu'e and Yelu Geya were very surprised by such a decisive attitude.
Lin Qingzhi couldn't control the various emotions she tried to hide after seeing what Xiao Mufeng did, two hot teardrops fell from her smart eyes, but she didn't know what to say, she only stared at Xiao Mufeng affectionately, and muttered, "Brother Mu......"
"I'm strong in my bones, and I'm here to bear the pain, and I trust you!" Xiao Mufeng's words were only half of what he said, he believed that Lin Qingzhi's medical skills would definitely develop an antidote, and the others didn't understand Lin Qingzhi, who was thinking about it.
"There's another thing I want to ask the general, I wonder if I can solve a question or two for the little girl?" Lin Qingzhi looked at Yelu Gu's forehead with clear eyes and asked.
"Since the general has reached an alliance with His Royal Highness King Ning, then the rest of my court will not be of any use to you anymore, can you tell us which one of the previous court was your ally, so that we can know who our common enemy is." In Lin Qingzhi's mouth, we naturally refer to Xiao Mufeng and Yelu Gu.
"With the ingenuity of the county lord, can't you guess who is behind you? Hahaha......" Jelugu laughed loudly, and when he stopped laughing, he stopped answering directly.
Lin Qingzhi knew that he couldn't ask anything, and the time had already passed at noon, since the covenant had been completed, Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng walked out of the Khitan military tent hand in hand according to the agreement, and walked south, towards the team of people waiting for them.
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the military tent a few feet away that Yelu Geya, who was pulling her face, pulled her father's sleeve and glared at her dissatisfied, and said, "Father, why didn't you kill that woman?" You see her mouth and treacherous appearance, I'm afraid that keeping it will ruin your business. ”
The shrewd Yelu Gu'er saw through that his daughter was not worried about his great cause, but saw that Xiao Mufeng was jealous of Lin Qingzhi's caring appearance, but he didn't break it, and then shook his head lonely and sighed: "Wouldn't it be better to watch them kill each other without me doing it?" It's a pity......" After saying this, Jelugu strode out of the tent.
"What a pity, father, you can make it clear......" Jerugeya asked after his father, but all he got was a few sighs.
