"Xie Da Khan!"
"Repeat the oath: I will swear to the death to follow the Saga Khan, the rightful ruler of the Kugit Khanate, and to swear allegiance to his rightful successor. β
"I will swear to the death the Saga Khan, the rightful ruler of the Kugit Khanate, and will swear allegiance to his rightful successor. I repeated. Although I didn't quite do it in the future.
From that moment on, I was completely impressed by the Khan, because of his wisdom, his decisiveness, his lack of anger, and his imperial spirit. I can say that Saiga Khan has been faithful to him during his lifetime.
"Good. "I announce that the Khanate has a new vassal, Nayan Chenas, as a vassal of the Khanate, I will reward you with the newly conquered Uludana as your fief. β
I knelt on the carpet in front of the khan and threw myself to the ground, thanking the monarch for his reward. I realized that from then on, I was different. I'm no longer a nobody, I'm no longer a mercenary or a bounty hunter, I'm no longer a "lord's eagle dog". I have a new identity, I am a vassal of the Kugit Khanate, and I am able to take the title of "Nayan". The petty nobles and commoners of the Kugit Khanate should salute when they see me!
I was so immersed in my own joy that I did not see the heartfelt smiles of the old ministers of the Khanate, and of the ladies headed by my cousin, Madame Marchette, and the ugly faces of the crooked faces.
The banquet was not over until midnight, and I was overwhelmed, so I said goodbye to the Khan and his colleagues, and left early.
Walking on the streets of Tulga, I feel that the moon is particularly round tonight.
In this bright moonlight, I noticed that someone was following me.
I bent down and picked up a rock.
At this moment, I saw two masked men walking towards me. I looked around, it was a secluded alley, and I was stuck in the middle of it.
I heard the sound of the bow and arrow winding. I hurriedly turned around, and with the power of this turn, I stoned the man who was stretching his bow to the point of bleeding.
I had just attended a banquet and had no weapons on me. I remembered that there was a weapons merchant on the left in front of me. So I jumped up, grabbed the roof on the right side of the alley, and flipped over. The thieves below shouted and threw stones and arrows at them. But it didn't hit me.
I ran to the top of the arms merchant's shed, jumped lightly, landed on the roof, and slid down. I picked up a kugit from the stall, grabbed the quiver, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow into the open mouth of the thief at the head.
I didn't have time to celebrate, so I fired three arrows in quick succession, killing the thieves. Another tried to escape, and I pinned his arm to the wall with an arrow. I took another dagger and put it on the thief's neck. The man hurriedly shouted: "The hero spares his life, I don't dare anymore." β
"You can spare your life, but you have to tell me who sent you?" I asked.
"This ......," he refused.
I added a force to my hand, and the man's neck was oozing blood.
"I don't want to ask again. I scared him.
I felt the ground get wet, and I knew it was this waste peeing my pants.
"The good man spared his life, it was Yan Nasu who sent me. He replied with a shudder. "How can you kill me if you are my cousin?" you must know that I am now the lord of the Kugit Khanate, and it is easier to kill you than to kill an ant, and I will not be punished by the law. β
"My lord!" the man had already cried, "how dare I lie to you? I heard Nayan Nasu tell me and my boss that as long as you die, as your only relative, he will inherit your fiefdom in Uludana." He also said that he would give us the first week's tax as a bounty. β
I was shocked, he would never be able to make it up, and what this thief said must be true. I didn't expect that for the sake of a small fiefdom, my closest relatives in the world, my cousin, would actually kill me. The old village chief often said that the world is sinister and unpredictable, and I didn't believe it at first, but now I do understand it.
I was overwhelmed and took the dagger away. The man thanked him again and again, and was about to leave, when a pilgrim came up and stabbed the thief's name. What are you doing?" I shouted.
The pilgrim did not hurry, crouched down beside a corpse, and then said, "Help you." β
"Help me?" I was shocked and angry, "I just said that you spared the man's life, but you killed him!
The pilgrim took a purse from the bosom of the corpse and threw it to me, which was heavy and no less than 100 dinars. I don't know if this money bag belongs to the last innocent victim, or if it is a commission from Na Yan.
The pilgrim stroked his silverbeard and said, "You see, it's all yours." Young man, you are a nobleman, you should pay attention to politeness when speaking!"
"Oh. Please forgive me for being rude, sir. But I do want to know your name, and how you can help me?" I suppressed all my emotions and tried to be as polite as possible.
"Hehe, the son can be taught. The pilgrim said, "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just a passerby to you." You just let this robber go. He'll be sure to send a message to Nasu, which means your cousin will get the news that you know he's going to kill you. It will do you more harm than good!" The pilgrim gathered some more dinars and said, "Half of this money is given to me for tuition; The other half to the weapon merchant, because you just used his bow and arrows. β
"Uh!" I said as I thought of the arms merchant, "sir, how much shall I pay you?"
"Hey, beloved Nayan Chinasi, the villain witnessed the heroism of the adults in the arena during the day, heard the news of the adult's canonization at night, and witnessed the adult's magic skills in the middle of the night. This Kugit bow can be called the best in the bow, my lord, do you know, this is made by my father 20 years ago, this bow took him half a year, he called it the god Kugit bow, and he also said that this bow will be given to real heroes. My old father still says from time to time, I don't dare to take your money, but ......"
"If you have something to say, sir, you can tell me. I said.
"Can the villain put up a sign tomorrow that reads, 'That Yan Chi Nasi shoots arrows and kills thieves'?" the arms merchant looked expectant.
"Haha, no problem. I smiled, "Not only that, but I will come to you in the future and fight two weapons that I can use." β
"My lord, the villain is grateful. β
I turned to look at the pilgrim again, only to find that he was gone. It was early in the morning, and a few roosters and dogs barked at him.
I was so depressed that I heard his distant singing:
"Dawn, dawn is approaching, and the morning star has just risen. The night sky of the morning star will be bright, and the earth will usher in light. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, but a few crows want to cover his light. β
At this time, Ε anastu came out of the tavern and asked sleepily, "Where have you been?"
At this time, I was extremely excited, and it seemed that Tengger had injected vitality into me. I beckoned to Chenastau and said, "Quick, call Mr. Ulligi and Mr. Resarit!" Fifteen minutes later, Chennastu, Ulligi, and Resarit were in the side room of the tavern and listened to me in silence. The experience of this day was too unexpected, from participating in the athletic conference and winning the championship, to attending the banquet, to learning about his own background, as well as the canonization of the khan and the assassination of the thieves.
As soon as I finished speaking, Uliji cried out, "I'm going to slaughter that Nasu now, even my own cousin!"
"Be quiet!" said Resarit, "I don't think it's that simple, and it doesn't make sense that you've just been sealed today, and he's coming to kill you." It is true that Yan Nasu gives you discord, but after all, it is a relative, with you in the court, he has more strength to support him, after all, you still have to take into account the prestige and power of the family, this is emotionally speaking, logically speaking, assuming that he is not related to you, the Great Khan has just canonized you, he will attack, isn't this embarrassing to the Great Khan? Besides, I heard from a nobleman who attended the banquet, after this banquet, almost all the lords knew that Na Yan Nasu gave you a discord, because his performance at the banquet was very unexpected, it is said that his cousin should be happy to be ordained, but he has a gloomy face, of course, the whole khanate knows the temper of this noble prince, and he is full of joy and anger. Besides, I got the news that a few days ago, Nasu applied to give him the letter of Uruda, but the Great Khan ignored it. If you die at this time, the whole khanate will think that he is a murderer. After being in the officialdom for so long, he knows it very well!"
"So......" I said.
"There must be someone else at his disposal!" Resarit inferred, "as far as I know, Nayan Nasu has not had a good relationship with many nobles, and he has a very poor relationship with other lords by virtue of his royal status, and sometimes he is angry with other lords. β
At this time, a Kugit rider ran to report and said: "Head, the Great Khan has sent someone for you. β
I put on my clothes and went downstairs, where I saw two junior officers standing at the table waiting, and all the drinkers, including the troublesome drunkards, drank silently.
Seeing me come down, two officers came forward and saluted, and one of them said, "Hello Lord China, we have been ordered by the Khan to serve as your lieutenant to ensure your safety. β
Did the news of my assassination reach the ears of the Great Khan so quickly? I said, "Thank you for the great Khan's kindness, but I am not in danger, hehe, not to protect me." β
"What's the matter with the blood on the adult's clothes?" said one of the officers, confused.
"Bloodstains?" I was startled, and quickly looked down, and it turned out that there was a small bloodstain on the cuff.
"Oh. I pretended not to care, and said, "When I came back, there was a drunkard who made trouble, and I taught him a lesson, and I guess it was his blood. "** After the umpteenth time, cover yourself up with a mask to cover your true emotions, for the first time.
"I see, be careful. The officer's face was embarrassed, "It's just that the king's order is difficult to disobey." β
It dawned on me that these two men, nominally my lieutenants, were in fact the overseers sent by the Great Khan.
"Let's stay, those two. It's just that I'm not treated well here, and I've wronged the two of you. I said.
"It doesn't matter. The officer said, "We have a sweaty allowance." β
"It's really wronged! Boss, it's ...... to drink."
I asked Uligi and Chennastu to accompany the two officers to drink, and Resarit followed me first to thank the Saiga Khan. Then I went to visit the nobles. It was a great honor that this banquet was the largest in several years, and almost all the lords of the Khanate were present. So early the next morning, everyone was in the city, I first visited the marshal Nayan Asugan, and then visited the "four elders of the khanate" called Nayan Borula, Nayan Yimiza, Nayan Aguer, and Nayan Wumuta, these old ministers were very enthusiastic to me; the next day I went to visit my cousins and cousins, and Na Suqi still looked like he was not answering the answers, it seems that the killer was not sent by him, and in the afternoon I visited other nobles and celebrities, I will not repeat them one by one.
