Chapter 173: Shock
After hearing Deb say that he had signed a Yuanli contract with that terrible Yuanor, he said on the side: "Great Khan, you are too worried! This sacrifice still knows a little about this Yuanli contract! If she and the Debu Patriarch signed a real Yuanli contract, that Yuanshu would not dare to break the contract! I wonder if the Debu Patriarch can take out the Yuanli contract and show it to this sacrifice?"
Deb hurriedly took out the square box from his bosom and handed it to the hand of the priest.
The High Priest of Hormo carefully opened the box, and everyone craned their necks to look into the box. I only saw a white jade plaque in the flat box, and there seemed to be two large and small fingerprints on it.
The face of the great priest of Hormo was cautious, and the green light in his eyes appeared from time to time. Stretched out his finger again, gently brushed it on the white jade plate, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was feeling?
After a long time, he carefully looked at the two fingerprints printed on the white jade plate, and separated a trace of spiritual power, feeling the faint fluctuation of Yuan power.
Everyone was holding their breath, for fear of disturbing the Great Sacrifice of Horma.
The Great Priest stayed for a long time before he opened his green eyes, and the pair of green lights flashed instantly, and said, "That's right, this is indeed the Yuanli contract!
Deb let out a long breath and put his mind at ease, he was afraid that the Great Priest of Hormo would say that this Yuanli contract was fake, and if that was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable......
The Great Priest said slowly: "The Yuan Technique of the Central Plains is strange and powerful! It is said that the Yuan Magician can only be dealt with by the Yuan Magician, and the people next to him are not their opponents!"
"Great Khan, let's wait for that Yuan Magician to come, and then let's decide how to attack Tucheng, right? The plan set before, because of the existence of this Yuan Magician, can only be put aside first, but it cannot be used for the time being!"
"What should I do? Ben Khan obeyed the arrangement of the Deb patriarch!"
Deb then said to the cavalryman: "The defenders on the city wall say that they are going to surrender, and I expect that they are only trying to delay! Therefore go and deal with them with as many words as you can! You might as well multiply the reward promised by the Great Khan! If you hear the sound of the trumpet, you can retreat! If the horn does not sound, you must not return, otherwise the military law will be involved!"
"Yes! Subordinates will go right away!"
After the cavalry had left, Deb said to Borhan and Brownini: "Don't be anxious about the siege of the city, the two patriarchs! After our most powerful ally arrives, we will discuss it! Now, everyone can drink happily! Don't worry too much about the other party's Yuan Magician, everything is under control! Chiefs, please drink slowly, I'll go out and contact our ally first!"
Deb then walked over to the rebel camp and pulled out the box from his bosom.
took out the white jade card, stretched out his finger, and knocked three times on the small fingerprint on the white card according to a certain rhythm.
I saw that the white jade plate suddenly stimulated a ray of white light, and then gradually dimmed.
Deb knew that the signal had been sent, and carefully put the white jade plaque into the flat box, and put it in his bosom before returning to the banquet.
Besides, the cavalryman who was in charge of the ultimatum, after receiving the order of the patriarch of Deb, rode again to the place where the city was built.
When I came to the city and looked up, I saw Chen Shaoan leaning on the wall, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Lord Jeff, my Khan has promised! If these warriors are willing to surrender, each of them will be promoted to one level and rewarded with 100 head of livestock!"
"Your Khan, is there only such a small reward? This is too little, where is the old Khan giving us more rewards!" Chen Shao'an pursed his lips and said on the city wall with disdain.
When the cavalryman heard the meaning of Chen Shao'an's words, he obviously thought that the reward was too little. I remembered the patriarch of Deb, who had said that the reward could be exaggerated several times more.
"Lord Jeff, I haven't finished my words yet, my family's great khan, and I have said it! In the future, all the officials will be added to the knighthood, and they will also reward all the warriors, and each person will have a hundred households of food and pasture!"
"Oh, your Great Khan is so generous!? You know, there are five or six hundred people in our city? If each person has a hundred fiefdoms, don't you know that your Great Khan has so many fiefs? You guy, are you lying to us?"
When the cavalryman heard Chen Shao'an ask, he knew that what he had just said was a little too big.
You know, there are only as many tribes as there are in the entire southern steppe, and each medium-sized tribe has only a population of 50,000 or 60,000. Except for the fiefs owned by those patriarchs and the magnates in the clan, there is not much left at all?
If you really give these soldiers who defend the city, each of them a hundred households, it is not a reward that you can get at all!
The cavalryman went a little too far in his own big words, but he could only make it up: "How dare I deceive Lord Jeff? This is really a promise from the Great Khan himself!"
"Oh, in this way, it is quite sincere to reach the speed! But I am only a native of the Central Plains, I am not rare in your pastures and food, what I want is gold and silver treasures, I don't know if you Great Khan have it?"
"Gold and silver treasures?ah, this is there!You can have as many as you want?!" The cavalry thought that the chief of Deb had already explained anyway, and no matter what conditions the defenders of the city proposed, he tried his best to agree.
"There are gold and silver treasures, but are there any beautiful girls?"
"This, of course there will be!"
"Well, the conditions are so generous, I really should think carefully about whether or not to surrender! Actually, I don't covet any gold, silver and jewelry! However, I am more interested in beauty! I heard that your sister is very beautiful, but she is famous for her beauty! And you have called me so much brother-in-law, why don't you go back and talk to your sister, if she is willing to be a slave girl for me, then I will lead these defenders to surrender!"
When the defenders in the city heard Chen Shao'an's words, they all laughed.
When the cavalryman heard Chen Shao'an's words, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I secretly said in my heart, how does this Lord Jeff know that I have a sister? It's just that my sister is not as beautiful as a flower, just an ordinary prairie woman, and her sister has already married.
Immediately heard Chen Shaoan say these words, and then he came back to his senses, and dared to feel that this guy was ridiculing himself.
I couldn't help but be secretly angry in my heart, but when I thought of the words that Patriarch Debu confessed when he came, I didn't dare to scold him. His face was swollen and red, so he had to reply, "Lord Jeff, if you fall in love with my sister, I will let her marry her when I go back!"
"Okay, then you can call your brother-in-law twice, my dear brother-in-law!"
When Chen Shao'an heard this, he laughed, and the defenders in the city laughed even more.
The cavalryman could not help but be angry at this humiliation, and shouted loudly, "Lord Jeff......!
Before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Shaoan say: "Hey! What a good brother-in-law, let me call my brother-in-law my brother-in-law!
"Lord Jeff!
Unexpectedly, Chen Shao'an turned to the defenders in the city and smiled: "Brothers, do you see? How well-behaved my cheap brother-in-law is! Let me call my brother-in-law a few times! Oh, I really look forward to his sister, if only she was really a beauty! Haha......"
The cavalryman was a member of the Kayan tribe, and there were people in the garrison who recognized the cavalry under the city, and said to Chen Shao'an: "Lord Chen, then you will be disappointed, his sister, is not a beautiful woman like a flower......?
"What?Dominatrix, it's so ugly!" Chen Shao'an pretended to be disgusted. "I, Chen Shao'an, are so good-looking and suave, if I really want to marry a dominatrix, won't I make the world laugh at him?"
In fact, how could the cavalryman's sister look like a dominatrix? The defenders of the city deliberately said this, just to cooperate with Chen Shao'an to humiliate the cavalry under the city.
Chen Shaoan leaned out and spat at the city.
"No wonder you kid, you keep calling me brother-in-law, it turns out that your sister is such an ugly woman! Lao Tzu's good reputation for innocence was almost ruined by you kid!"
"When did I call you brother-in-law......?
"Didn't you just call Lao Tzu's brother-in-law? These brothers in the city are all listening to it! It turns out that you kid is taking advantage of Lao Tzu for your sister!
"You! you ......"
Only then did the cavalryman know that Chen Shaoan had teased himself with his name, and he couldn't help but be so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Since your sister is so ugly, then Lao Tzu will not accept her as a slave girl! You still dare to coax Lao Tzu to surrender? If it weren't for the sake of the two armies fighting, if you don't kill her! Lao Tzu will definitely let you come and go, hurry up and get out of here!"
"Okay! You guys who don't know what to do, just wait for the city to be slaughtered!"
The cavalryman was furious at the humiliation, gritted his teeth and said a fierce word, fearing that someone in the city would release cold arrows, turned around and quickly slapped his horse away.
Watching the cavalry turn and run, the defenders of the city laughed again.
At this time, behind the city walls, several girls had boiled the water in the thermal lake. The defenders were also ready to defend the city with poles, shamwood, and rolling stones. Just wait for those rebels to attack the city, and give them a head-on blow!
By this time, the sky had completely brightened. Khan Khan had already made breakfast. One by one, the prairie girls brought up a large piece of roast mutton in their hands. In addition to roast lamb, bags of mare's milk wine were also delivered.
Alcohol strengthens courage, and in order to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy, it is not forbidden before the war. Even on the grasslands, every time the soldiers are about to fight, they will distribute fine wine to boost morale.
Chen Shao'an saw that the rebels had still not moved, and hurriedly ordered the defenders in the city to change to two batches and take turns to eat breakfast.
Chu Chongshan took two roast lamb legs and handed one to Chen Shao'an. He took out another bag of mare's milk wine, and the two of them were above the city, eating meat and drinking wine while watching the movements of the rebels.
"Brother Chen, when do you expect the rebels to attack the city?"
Chu Chongshan took a hard bite of the mutton and asked while chewing.
"Half an hour ago, I saw smoke rising from the rebels. These rebels should have eaten breakfast a long time ago! It stands to reason that they should have made a move at this time, but now that there is no movement in the rebel camp, I wonder what the hell these guys are going to do?"
"Brother Chen, do you think these guys are waiting for some siege equipment? I am not as proficient as you in the affairs of the grassland, and I don't know much about the armaments that the grassland has! Brother Chen often walks back and forth on the grassland, but have you ever seen siege equipment on the grassland?"
"Brother Chu, there is a shortage of materials on the grassland, for so many years, I have never seen it, which grassland will have siege equipment! On the grassland, there is no city at all, I estimate that these grassland people cannot have any equipment to attack the city!"
"But why have they not moved at all so far? If the morale of the soldiers is highest in the morning, except for the sneak attack at night, most of them usually attack the city in the early morning! These rebels make me a little confused?"
"Brother Chu, maybe the war on the grassland is not the same as our Central Plains! Since they don't come to attack the city, wouldn't it be better if they could delay it for a day!"
"Still not necessarily, I always feel that the rebels seem to be waiting for something? Now that it is so calm, Bang makes me feel a little more uneasy!"
"What kind of big moves can those grassland people make? It's not that I, Chen Shao'an, underestimate them, talk about the marching formation, and make suggestions! It's a person like me who used to be a petty officer in the empire, and when I get to him, I have to be a commanding figure! Brother Chu is still a little too worried!"
Chu Chongshan shook his head and took another bite of mutton, but for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.
The period leading up to the storm is always calm and oppressive.
Ye Nineteen specially picked a few pieces of the most tender roasted mutton and personally delivered them to the small tent.
Ye Nineteen was afraid of the Helian Red-sleeved Sisters, so he was not used to the knives and forks on the grassland, and cut a few small branches into chopsticks and sent them into the tent.
Seeing that Night Nineteen personally delivered food, Helian Thrush felt even more sweet in his heart.
"Brother Nineteen, have you had breakfast? Let's eat together. ”
"I've already eaten these pieces of roast lamb, and these pieces of roast lamb are very tender, and there is very little grease on them. I know that Sister Redsleeve doesn't like greasy food, so I specially picked out a few pieces, so you can eat them while it's hot. ”
"Thank you so much, Brother Nineteen. ”
Put the roast lamb on top of the table, and prepare to go out of the tent to the city wall at night nineteen.
Helian Red Sleeves smiled indifferently and said to Ye Nineteen, "Thank you." ”
"Sister Redsleeves, if you don't want to eat this greasy thing, go to the room to take a look, can there be lighter food?"
"Don't bother, this roast lamb looks good. ”
"That's good, Sister Red Sleeves, you have breakfast first, and I'll go to the city to have a look. ”
So he went out of the tent.
Helian Thrush said behind him, "Brother Nineteen, be careful. ”
Night Nineteen looked back at Helian Thrush and smiled, nodded and walked out of the tent.
Although Gu Li Zhuoya ate mutton there, although the roast mutton was very tender, the roast mutton tasted like chewing wax in her mouth, and she didn't know the taste.
Night's Nineteen hadn't even looked at her since he entered the tent, and his eyes were almost just at Helian Thrush.
Gu Li Zhuoya secretly sighed in her heart, silent.
When they landed at the top of the city on the nineteenth night, Chu Chongshan and Chen Shao'an also had breakfast, and the two of them were observing the enemy situation there.
"Brother Chu, what's going on with the rebels?"
Night Nineteen asked, coming behind the two.
Chu Chongshan shook his head, "Until now, I just saw those rebels, constantly fiddling with those long ladders, and they had also set up an offensive formation before, but now they have no intention of attacking at all, I don't know what these rebels are doing?"
It's daytime now, and Night Nineteen's eyesight is excellent, and even if you don't use clairvoyance, you can see clearly from the rebels in the distance.
In the rebel camp, the soldiers who were preparing to attack stood in the clearing, waiting for the order to attack from above.
In the middle of the camp, at this time, the banquet to welcome the patriarch of Liz was also carried out.
But by this time, the Great Yuan Sorcerer still hadn't arrived.
He also sat on top of the first place, like a needle pricking his ass, fidgeting.
Deb's face was also full of anxiety.
"Patriarch Deb, why hasn't the master come yet?"
"Great Khan, maybe the master is too far away from us, and he may be on his way here at this time, let's wait a little longer. ”
The two were talking, and suddenly in the open space in the middle of the banquet, there was a sudden ripple in the space. That space writhes constantly, and if you look at it closely, you can feel a little dazzled.
Just where the space writhed, a figure suddenly flashed, it was the Great Yuan Magician.
He was still dressed in a black robe, and the hood tightly covered his face.
Deb was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and gave a prairie salute first.
"Dear Great Yuan Sorcerer, you can come. ”
Ye Suda also hurriedly stood up, and the other clan leaders also stood up one after another when they saw that it was the Great Yuan Magician.
The Great Priest of Hormo didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw that it was the Great Yuan Magician, he hurriedly stood up and almost knocked over the table. He was afraid of this Great Yuan Magician from the bottom of his heart, how could he dare to sit there when he saw the Great Yuan Magician appear?
"Patriarch Deb, what's the matter?" the Great Yuan Sorcerer asked coldly.
"Master, please sit down first, I have something important to tell you. ”
He quickly gave up his seat in the first place and ran to the side of Deb.
The Great Yuan Magician was also not polite, and came directly to the seat of Ye Suda and sat down directly.
"What is it?" you say. ”
Deb first cleared the guards who were waiting around him, and then let a few henchmen guard them in the distance, not allowing idle people to come close.
"Dear Master, that's right. In Khan Khan, there was actually a Yuan Sorcerer!"
"Huh, they actually have a metamagician there?"
"Yes, Master! Patriarch Lisi has just come from Tucheng, and he knows the situation there very well, let him tell you about it first!"
Patriarch Leth hurriedly told him what he knew.
"You mean that the metamagician who performed the meta-magic is a young woman, right?"
"Master, as far as I can hear, yes. ”
After hearing this, the Great Yuan Sorcerer asked Ye Suda, "Are you sure she has already taken that thing I gave you?"
