Chapter Eighty-Four: The Knife Sect
The thin moon looms among the clouds, the moon is dark, the two armies are stationed on the ba, and under the shadow of the moon, the time of the day is wasted.
The two armies had made an agreement that today would be the day of the war, but they unanimously gave the order for an armistice.
The smoke of gunpowder, which was already thick, suddenly cooled down, and the soldiers of the two countries looked at the frequent visits of the envoys of the enemy countries, and they could not figure out whether this battle could be fought or not.
Alas! The game of the superior has never been incomprehensible.
In the main camp tent, the generals gathered at this moment, and everyone greeted a heavyweight messenger with solemn faces-Yan Zijin.
Bei Han Mo sat on the throne, dressed in silver-white armor, and wearing a black and white tiger cloak, which made him more and more majestic and intimidating.
His sharp eagle eyes, staring with an expression on his face, standing in the middle of the camp tent with a long jade body, wearing a bright yellow robe, a high-spirited figure, listening to the moving words of eloquent talk, and occasionally observing the expressions of the ministers.
Bei Han Mo wanted to find someone to pay attention to, and looked at Han Qing at first glance, wanting to secretly exchange ideas with him, but saw that he was staring at the cup in a daze at such an important banquet, looking absent-minded.
He furrowed his dark eyebrows slightly, and displeasure rose between his eyebrows.
Bei Han Mo gave Han Qing a look one after another, but he was frequently offline, living in his own small world without knowing it, Bei Han Mo was so angry that he was about to jump to his feet.
"Han Qing!" Bei Hanmo couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly screamed, startling everyone present.
"Huh?" Han Qing tilted his head slightly, looking for the person who called him, and there was still some confusion in his fine eyes, as if he had just woken up.
"Han Qing, Prime Minister Yan's words, what do you think!" Seeing his confused appearance, Bei Han Mo grinded his teeth angrily, and asked directly to this unreliable henchman.
"What Prime Minister Yan said, we still need to check the aspirations of the people and discuss it with the generals before we can decide." Han Qing also thought about the big thing, stood up calmly, pretended to straighten his clothes, and said it decently, as if he had come to a conclusion after listening carefully.
When Bei Han Mo saw his virtue, he knew that it was good that he could listen to ten words, but what he said was exactly what he thought in his heart.
In his heart, he actually agrees with the "truce", which sounds like a rippling and vague word, but if he does not fight now, he is afraid of arousing the resentment of the generals and soldiers below.
After all, the small country of the Northern Cold Country is already very tight in all aspects of finance, and I am afraid that if it continues to fight like this, it will be the first to cross.
Now, Mu Yun has taken the initiative to say a truce for a period of ten years, which is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity.
Moreover, Mu Yun's Yan Zijin personally came to the Beihan military camp today to be a lobbyist, which undoubtedly increased his credibility.
Yan Zijin is eloquent, every sentence is in his heart, he is hot in his heart, and when he says that the time limit for signing is only three days, he has a desire to wait to sign and war.
If it weren't for the ministers sitting below, let him sober up a little, and reason reminded him to think twice, I'm afraid that the peace war letter would have been signed in the hall.
Bei Hanmo pretended to ask the opinions of the other generals again, and they all turned around, their thoughts were not much different from Han Qing's, their attitudes were ambiguous, and they couldn't figure out their real thoughts.
He said in his heart, these old horsemen are all old rivers and lakes, too cunning, and they have to ask each other in private after the banquet
In addition, his second brother Bei Hanjian, the main battle faction, generously expressed his unwavering determination to continue fighting, and painstakingly persuaded him not to be confused by the enemy and weaken the army's heart.
Bei Hanmo had long known his position, and he didn't say anything about what he said, and finally stopped him from continuing with lukewarm words.
Under Bei Han Mo's vague attitude, the banquet slowly came to an end, and Yan Zijin saw the heart of the North Han King and everyone secretly moving the truce, and snickered proudly in his heart.
If the armistice between the two countries is successful, this time I have to go back and ask Xiao Jingyu for a reward.
Yan Zijin's eyes swept to Han Qing, who was the first seat under Beihan Mo, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slyly, remembering that before he left, Xiao Jingyu specially ordered him to take care of Han Qing at the banquet and express his affectionate welcome.
So, the landscape fan in his hand unfolded "loudly", shaking the fan and saying leisurely: "Han Yuma, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much, I am on this mission, our emperor is particularly worried about you, and before leaving, I invited Han Yuma, and then we had an intimate reunion as before."
The emperor said, no matter what the relationship between Mu Yun and Bei Han is, his feelings for you will not change, and we Mu Yun will welcome you at any time. ”
As soon as Yan Zijin said this, everyone frowned, extremely angry, Mu Yun actually dug people in front of Bei Hanmo.
After hearing these dissenting words, the ceramic cup in his hand was violently crushed by anger, and the expression under the half mask was distorted and angry.
Han Qing stood up and pointed at Yan Zijin in public, and said angrily with jealousy: "Yan Zijin, you don't play a little trick here.
You go back and tell Xiao Jingyu that I, Han Qing, have different loyalties to Beihan, and our Wang Yingming is powerful, shrewd and talented, and eloquent.
He worked hard to govern the northern cold, cultivated internal affairs, and was admired by all the people in the world, and was a rare emperor in the world.
If it weren't for him, he could compare with a well-dressed beast with a human face and a beast's heart who had lost his conscience and morality, please tell him that I stayed in Beihan very well, so that he didn't bother to steal chickens and dogs and miss me. ”
Han Qing's words were correct, and in order to belittle Xiao Jingyu, he did not hesitate to raise Bei Hanmo.
In Bei Hanmo's ears, Han Qing's sharp words became so pleasing for the first time, it turned out that his evaluation was so high in his heart, and he suddenly had a lot of face on his face, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.
But at the same time, he felt that he was extremely arrogant and arrogant, and offended Mu Yun's people, what if Mu Yun refused to fight? Take this straight in your heart, regardless of the trouble spirit of love and trouble!
However, seeing that Han Qing's marching and fighting are like a sharp knife that has just come out of its sheath, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fight, I will forgive him for his unscrupulousness this time.
Han Qing performed well in military affairs, no wonder Xiao Jingyu's kid was worried about his family's powerful generals, and repeatedly and privately separated their monarchs and ministers, causing him to almost fall in touch with him a few times before.
Bei Hanmo thought about how he didn't like Han Qing before, and he was also sneering at him, and he was not as good as others in all aspects of courtesy, and he hadn't driven him away, so God blessed him.
In the bottom of his heart, it was rare for a wisp of guilt to rise, thinking that he would have to be nicer to Han Qing in the future, and he felt that if he was too good to him, Han Qing would definitely trample on the top of his head, and he was happy and resentful in his heart.
Yan Zijin and the envoys who came with him were all white-faced by Han Qing's words.
Yan Zi never loses in the battle of his mouth, hearing him insult his friend so much, his eyes that have always been smiling became gloomy, and he said in a strange manner: "Han Ju Ma Ke must remember what he said tonight, I will tell the emperor in 1510 when I go back, don't regret the lesson you have learned in the future, I hope you will be quick to talk for a while today, don't hurt the people of Beihan who are suffering from the pain of war."
"Hmph, the word regret has never been in Han Qing's book." Han Qing was arrogant and extremely bad, he really offended people, and the people who wanted to fight in the Northern Han Dynasty complained that he had offended Mu Yun, what if the peace war failed?
After this episode, the banquet finally broke up.
Bei Han Mo's face was a little ugly, and he left Han Qing to negotiate alone.
Han Qing crossed Erlang's legs, his attitude was still dragging, to prevent Bei Hanmo from accusing, and took the lead in saying angrily: "Do you think it's very pleasant to be dug into the corner at the banquet, and you want to accuse me of ruining the good thing of your truce?"
Bei Hanmo slowly stepped off the throne, rarely lowered his high-end posture, and said with a pleasant face: "I don't want to scold you, I just want you to restrain your impatience and don't be led by the nose."
Han Qing didn't think about him, he didn't blame himself for the first time, but instead talked peacefully and angrily, and his anger suddenly disappeared, remembering that he had acted inappropriately before, and that Bei Hanjing was still poisoned now, he felt that his face was dull, and he really began to feel guilty.
He put down Erlang's legs, put away his arrogant posture, turned his head to look away, and admitted his mistake softly with some twists, and said, "I know, I'll pay attention next time."
Bei Hanmo didn't expect that Han Qing, who had always loved to raise the bar with him, would take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and his heart would turn a little soft.
The corners of his solemn lips, which he had always pursed, said with tolerance: "Well, just pay attention next time, I will leave you here today, mainly to talk about Mu Yun's desire to make peace with us."
This kind smile made him soften his unapproachable cold and majestic appearance, and unconsciously narrowed the distance between the two hearts.
Bei Hanmo seemed so tolerant and generous, with a pleasant attitude, Han Qing was a little uncomfortable.
Han Qing thought that he would sneer again, but when he heard his words of understanding, he opened his mouth slightly, like an arrogant tiger in battle, and suddenly saw that the enemy had become a friend, and quietly retracted the outstretched claws into the palm of his flesh.
Han Qing's feet were obediently laid flat on the ground, and his back was straightened, like a delicate and cute cat, but he looked a little delicate.
"I think that under Mu Yun and the heart of war, there is also a bad heart hidden in it, and he wants to take the opportunity to defeat us." Han Qing thought for a few seconds and said as he expressed his true thoughts.
"Why?" Bei Hanmo sat down and talked to him face to face, it was rare to put down the shelf and ask humbly.
"I have good news and bad news here, and you will know why I said this after listening to it, which one do you want to hear first?" Han Qing has been thinking about how to talk to Bei Hanmo about the poison in Bei Hanjing.
Bei Hanmo didn't expect him to buy Guanzi, and came to a multiple-choice question, with thick eyebrows raised, he raised slightly, and said, "You tell the bad news first."
"My bad news is that this afternoon, Bei Hanjing's assassination of Xiao Jingyu failed, and when I learned the news and rushed to the rescue, she had been slapped by Xiao Jingyu, who had profound martial arts, and now she was lying in the camp tent with severe poison, and her life was in danger."
Han Qing thought about concealing Bei Hanjing's poisoning, if he fought alone to get the antidote, I am afraid that the odds of victory are very small, it is better to take the initiative to tell the whole thing and ask Bei Hanmo to deal with it together.
Bei Hanmo was shocked, he didn't expect that his sister was ill today, and she didn't come to the banquet, but she was about to die because of poisoning, so she couldn't help but ask: "Why did my sister go back and assassinate Xiao Jingyu?"
Han Qing lowered her long eyelashes slightly, straightened her back, and took the initiative to admit her mistake: "She went to take the risk to assassinate Xiao Jingyu to avenge me, I'm sorry, I didn't stop her to poison her, if you are angry, just beat me."
Bei Han Mo didn't know what to say, when the two armies were at war, the deadly handle actually fell into the hands of the enemy, and nothing could be worse than this.
Bei Hanmo suppressed his anger and asked patiently, "What was the good thing you just said?"
Han Qing showed a smile on his face that he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, and said: "Xiao Xing in misfortune, in order to save Bei Hanjing, I took a Gu poison "puppet worm" in Xiao Jingyu's hand that has control people, and obtained half of the antidote, and Bei Hanjing can live for three more days.
Xiao Jingyu said that as long as he kills you, he will give me the antidote to the other half of Bei Hanjing. ”
Is this a good thing? Bei Hanmo began to doubt the definition of good and bad things.
"You're here to discuss with me, to kill me, to get the antidote?" The muscles on Bei Hanmo's face couldn't smile anymore, and he asked with hatred.
Han Qing cracked Sensen's white teeth and said with a smile: "That's right, please cooperate!"
While the two were talking, they overheard the quarrel outside the tent, and the voice was the second prince Bei Hanjian, probably because he was afraid that Bei Hanmo would be Mu Yun, and he was tempted to really stop fighting, and he turned back halfway to persuade him.
This is exactly the case, Han Qingning listened to a few words of quarrel outside, pulled out the short knife on his waist, and said with a smile: "He came just in time, just use him as a witness to my killing."
"How about we make a bet? When your second brother saw that you were killed by me, not only would he not save you, but he would stab you again, believe it or not? Han Qing flicked the sharp short knife, tilted his head and said with a wicked smile.
"Hmph, I don't believe it, if you put forward this bet, you will lose." Bei Han Mo saw that Han Qing was too confident and smiled, and his heart rebelled and struck coldly.
"If I win, you will make me prime minister and let me participate in internal affairs, how about it?" Han Qing's slender fingers flicked the sharp tip of the knife, and his pure black eyes reflected a few bits of brilliant brilliance under the lamp, which made Bei Hanmo's heart beat a few beats faster.
Prime minister? Han Qing can govern in addition to fighting, which is undoubtedly a temptation.
"You'll talk about it when you win." As soon as Bei Hanmo's words fell, the short sword in Han Qing's hand did not say hello and stabbed into his abdomen neatly.
The knife fell from his hand, and the bright red blood slipped from the tip of Han Qing's knife and fell to the ground, opening an ominous blood plum on the ground.
"Bang-"
Bei Han Mo fell to the ground with the wooden chair all of a sudden, making a loud noise, he covered the trickling and bleeding wound, and pointed at Han Qing's evil face, his face turned pale with anger.
"Don't forget our agreement......" Han Qing stretched out his bright red tongue and licked the taste of blood on the tip of the knife in obsession, giving his body and mind an incomparable sense of satisfaction.
Probably, he is naturally bloodthirsty in his bones, and blood always makes his nerves start to get excited.
Outside the camp tent, the quarrelsome people were fluted, and Bei Hanjian heard a loud noise from inside the camp tent and pushed away the maids who blocked him from entering.
In a hurry, when he arrived at the door of the tent, he saw Han Qing open the curtain, licking his bloody palm, looking at them with evil eyes, his red lips and fresh blood, matched with his beautiful face, like a gorgeous and weird night demon.
This bloodthirsty picture slowed everyone's hearts a few beats.
"Hehe, you're late......" Han Qing chuckled a few times proudly, and suddenly flew away and disappeared.
Bei Hanjian hurriedly opened the curtain, and saw Bei Hanmo fall to the ground, a blood-stained short knife falling from his side.
Bei Hanjian hurriedly went up to help him up, held him in his arms, and asked with concern, "Big brother, how are you?"
"It was Han Qing who stabbed me, I'm dying, call the Imperial Doctor to ......" Bei Hanmo pointed in the direction where Han Qing left, and said in horror and trembling.
In the tent, there were only the two of them left at this moment, and the guards went to call the military doctor, and Brother Wang's life was in danger, and evil sprouted at this moment, and the devil said in his ear, the eldest brother is dead, isn't he the king?
"Uh-Jian, you ......" Bei Hanmo looked at the ruthless short knife in his stomach in disbelief.
"Brother Wang, you have been on the throne long enough, why don't you let my brother and me, sit down......" Bei Hanjian pulled out a short knife and made up for it again, Bei Hanmo's eyes widened, and he lost his breath under his brother's knife.
When the imperial physician and the soldiers arrived, they saw Bei Hanjian holding their king in tears, and looked up in grief and said, "Brother Wang, I was killed by Han Qing."
The swords in everyone's hands all fell to the ground in shock, and the atmosphere of grief enveloped everyone for a while.
The wind was blowing outside, and the cold weather in the north had changed......
