Chapter 40: Writing a Letter

I was ordered by the Khan to lead troops to this alliance, and the Khan knew very well what would happen if there were fewer troops in the alliance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Legend has it that in ancient times, when there was only the Swadia people on the continent, the leaders of the tribes often met with each other. At that time, the people were simple, and the stratagem had not yet spread on the continent. One day, a tribal chieftain with half of the tribe's young men ambushed around the meeting place, and captured the chiefs of the tribes at the meeting, so as to blackmail the tribes. Since then, this tribe has grown stronger, unified all the tribes, and became the first country on the mainland. The king named this new country after the continent, called the Kalad Empire.

Later, when the tribes poured into Calradia, the Emperor of the Empire used this method to gather 37 leaders of the Nords and kill 36 of them. Since then, the Nord people have been stable for more than ten years, and the Beihai Plain has ushered in a brief period of peace. However, there was a young leader who had fled beforehand, and he was called Gunding Harebrec. He naturally became the leader of all the Nords. Eventually, the banner was raised and the Svadias were driven out of the North Sea Plain. The Kugit Khanate sent a total of 1,000 people to the alliance this time, and we estimate that the Svadia Kingdom will send no fewer people.

Most of the nobles of the Khanate attended the meeting, and on the side of the Kingdom of Swadia, King Haraus brought his grandson, Duke Dick, and a number of other nobles, including the little lemming viscount I was familiar with. Svadia trusted Marshal Count Crespo to lead an army in the south of the kingdom.

The Covenant brought the first light snow on the Dehrim Plains. The two rows of long tables in the venue were covered with a thin layer of graupel. The nobles of the two countries sat facing each other on either side of a long table 20 paces apart.

At the beginning of the meeting, the two monarchs made some ceremonial speeches. Such as "for the peace of the two countries", "for the common good" and so on. Due to the length of the speech, some of the old nobles fell asleep, and some of the younger nobles drank in silence. Only the little crown prince of Svadia, Duke Dick, was listening intently to the speech, thoughtful.

Not long after, a Swadia official ran to King Haraus and whispered something, and King Haraus was overjoyed and immediately announced: "According to reports from the front, Count Crespo, the marshal of the Swadia Kingdom, has just captured the stronghold of the Rhodoks Kurmaburg. ”

The Svadia nobles immediately stood up and shouted "Hooray". The nobles of the Kugit Khanate gasped.

I later heard the engineer Artiman say that the Culma Fort is a marvel in the history of architecture, and that the miraculous Rhodok people carried large stones up the hill to create this great castle. The Rhodoks used this to guard the Kulma Pass, which they called "natural hazards". This Count Crespo was able to conquer this fort, and his amazing combat power can be seen. This man must be the great enemy of the khanate. I saw a strange glint in Khan's eyes, and I wondered what he was thinking.

I saw the Khan smile slightly and said, "Congratulations, King Harlaus." I wish your country prosperity and a wide territory. ”

Who doesn't know that the Kingdom of Svadia has repeatedly lost territory in recent years, and the Khanate has just captured the eastern city of Dehrim in Svadia.

King Harauth was not annoyed either: "Thank you. Another day, I will send a messenger to Rana with gifts. Oh, forgive me, look at my memory, it's unfortunate that I forgot that Rana was occupied. ”

Saiga Khan pressed down the anger in his heart, but did not attack. But the young nobles of the Khanate rose up and cursed King Haraus, and the Svadian nobles drew their swords to duel with those who insulted the king's reputation. Not to be outdone, the nobles of the khanate drew their scimitars one after another. The junior officers in the back row, such as Uligi and Bestul, even opened their bows and aimed at the Swadian nobles opposite. Seeing that this alliance is about to turn into a bloody gladiatorial arena.

Young and vigorous, I brandished my grandfather's saber and stood at the front of the lords of the Khanate.

King Haraus wanted to wait and see, but when he saw the saber, his expression became strange. He ignored the aristocrats on both sides and looked at the knife for a long time.

I said dissatisfiedly, "What do you see?"

"Oh, I beg your pardon. King Harauth seemed to be pulled back from my thoughts, "Well, young nobleman, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what is your relationship with Lord Timur?"

Everyone forgot the tension just now, and watched King Harlaus's strange behavior.

"He was my grandfather. I replied.

"Oh, I see. Allow me to pay my deep respect to your grandfather's spirit in heaven!"

He ostensibly praised my grandfather as an expression of his admiration. But he said in his heart, I could have defeated Timur back then, and you don't even have a general like Timur now.

Even I could hear his subtext. But I said, "Thank you." ”

The old village chief once told me countless times that if I wanted to live on the grassland for the rest of my life, I could say whatever I wanted. If you want to be an official, you have to learn to be patient.

They each returned to their tables and sat down and began to talk about inconsequential topics.

King Haraus, however, was in a trance, remembering the glory of his victory over my grandfather.

The atmosphere in the venue was a little more relaxed.

I noticed a young nobleman from Swadia, fair-skinned, handsome-looking, even feminine, without much beard and no armor, and at first sight I even thought he was a young lady of someone's house. But then I saw that his apricot eyes showed a resolute gaze, and in the confrontation just now, his eyes also shot a fierce murderous aura. My impression of him immediately changed, and I no longer thought of him as a little white face, and this person must not be a thing in the pool. His performance later confirmed my suspicions.

He stood up and said to Saiga Khan, "Respect Khan, please forgive me for my recklessness. I just think that since the two countries shook hands and said goodbye, why didn't your country return the newly occupied Dehrim to our country as a proof of your sincerity in the peace talks?"

"Oh, that's right. The Khan said, "Dare to ask your Excellency's name?"

"In Lower Villeta, by the grace of His Majesty Monhalaus, he was made a duke. "The young nobleman was courteous.

I looked back at Sir Anders, and his complicated expression told me everything. I greeted the Khan and said, "Great Khan, are you allowed me to say two words?"

Khan nodded.

I turned to the Duke of Villeta: "Lord Duke, it is not that our country covets this city, but that my country sees that the people of Dehrim are withering and all industries are in ruins, and the lord of this city has no regard for the people's livelihood, which is hateful. With compassion and compassion for the heavens, my Great Khan led the heavenly army eastward to save the people of Dehrim from the dire situation. This is because the monarch and lord of your country do not cherish this city, and it is not deliberately occupied by our country. ”

I was quite pleased with what I had said.

"Whether the city is prosperous or not is the internal affair of our own country, how dare you help your country?" said the Duke of Villeta.

"Tengger has mercy on the world, the world can't bear to fall into a dead city, the grass people are still like this, not to mention the natural sage of our Khan?"

I've since discovered that I'm a bit of a sophist, and I can justify what is so unreasonable.

When the Duke of Villeta saw my sophistry, he did not get angry, but only smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you Khan!"

Khan also smiled: "It's a trivial matter, why bother?"

The faces of many Swadia nobles were crooked. But I sat down with joy and looked at the Khan's admiring gaze.

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

King Harauth was probably annoyed by the moment. More than 20 years ago, he defeated the army of the steppe lord Gerak Khan, and defeated his grandfather, known as the "Whip of God", with his superior forces. But now, Saiga Khan, the wild child of the steppe, has occupied his city and is still on an equal footing with him. And I, an obscure little character, messed around in front of him, and I couldn't help but be angry.

At this time, the Duke of Villeta stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Khan, it is rare for the two countries to meet, and I would like to invite the warriors of your country to compete in order to help your interest. ”

The Duke of Villeta is about to show his skills.

"I wonder which samurai are interested in this?" asked the Duke of Villeta, with great interest.

Na Yan Tan laughed and said, "You little boy, it's interesting." I'm here to play with you. ”

It seems that Nayan Tansu should not know how powerful the Duke of Villeta is. I saw him smile obscenely and take the wooden sword presented by the waiter. The Duke took the same wooden sword.

Tansu took off his armor, lifted his pants, and said, "Come on, I'll make you three moves." ”

"My dear Nayan Tansugai, I am a knight, and what I pursue is fairness. "The Duke of Villeta's smile looked polite, but it seemed to me more obscene than that of Tansugai.

When the contest began, before I could see clearly, Tansu should have been lying on the ground.

Sir Anders exclaimed, "How fast he could have moved!"

Na Yan Tansu should have felt quite inexplicable, stood up and said: "You are moving very fast, you came while I wasn't paying attention, this doesn't count!

This time, Na Yan Tan quickly concentrated and calmed down, and stared at Duke Villeta with a pair of tiger eyes.

The Duke of Villeta said, "This time you come first. ”

Na Yan Tansu should also be a master of martial arts, seeing this situation, he didn't dare to be careless, and slowly stepped forward and shook his sword. But it was this moment that the Duke of Villeta saw the flaw, and the Duke attacked quickly, and Yan Tansu should have hurriedly blocked. The duke took advantage of the situation and flew away the wooden sword that Yan Tan should have.

Na Yan Tansu should have been annoyed and angry, but his father, Na Yan Hugu, looked at him and gestured to him. Na Yan Tansu was helpless and said: "Mr. swordsmanship is exquisite, Xiao Ke is willing to bow down." "Let's go on.

Sir Anders whispered to me, "He's been visiting famous teachers all these years, and I'm afraid I can't stop him for 60 rounds." ”

Duke Villeta looked at the nobles of the Kugit Khanate and smiled, "And that warrior wants to come up and have fun?"

The dignitaries of the Khanate were silent, including me, of course.

Duke Villeta looked at me and said, "The lord I debated just now must be strong in martial arts. Please come up and ask for advice on the next few tricks. ”

I was in a cold sweat, stiffened, and said "don't dare, don't dare", and walked forward.
