Chapter 55: Split
At a time when the Southern Union was in turmoil, the northerners were not having a good time, and the cession of the Outer River Bay Ranch changed the original life of food and clothing greatly.
It turns out that I don't understand why southerners love to make trouble so much, isn't it good that the north and the south are peaceful? Now I finally have the first-hand experience of tightening my clothes and food.
It is in response to the old saying: thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi; I didn't know until the end of the day, the taste of hunger was really uncomfortable!
On this day, several of Sihohela's cronies invited him to dinner, including his brother Butun and his friend Legay.
During the feast, they kept urging him to drink, and in a short time Hela was dazed.
"Brother, please come over today, I have an important matter to discuss with you," Brother Butun said with a drunken spirit, "We plan to follow you and join the Taurus people together." ”
Hearing this, a cool breeze blew in Hela's mind, and she instantly sobered up, "What, second brother, what are you talking about, we are the Northern Hall Clan, don't forget, the servant is the patriarch, and we all have to listen to the servant." ”
"Come on, big brother," said Legue, waving his hand, "I and Budun know what you and the Great General Tulle have done in secret, but it's hard to say; Because we're family, we're keeping it a secret for you. ”
Hela felt sorry for herself, and didn't say anything more, just sat there shaking her head and sighing.
"Brother," the second brother Butun indignantly picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Our Xihuo is not less powerful than Zhonghuo, why let us always be the little brother and obey the orders of the servant, brother, you are too indecisive." ”
In fact, Butun was right, Hela was also very prejudiced against the servant in her heart, and she was unwilling to submit to him; But Hela is not stupid, he understands that the Taurus people are not really good to him, they just want to use him to get pastures, which is the ultimate goal of the great general Tulle.
If the servant is finished, he may be finished, he understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, so he sacrificed his life to save the servant last time and protected the servant.
Now that the second child is bringing up the old story again, Hela is once again in a swing, thinking about it again, and still feels that she can't fall out with the servant.
The second child persuaded for a long time, but Hela was unmoved and opposed to completely defecting to the Taurus.
Seeing that his goal could not be achieved, Butun said: "Brother, then I'm sorry, I have to let you suffer a little grievance." Then he and Leguet took out the rope and tied Hela.
"Second brother, what are you doing, do you want to rebel?" Hela tried to stand up and resist, but found that she had no strength at all, and it turned out that her brother had already drugged her wine and food.
"Brother, let me be honest with you, the general Thule is very dissatisfied with you, and has promised to make me the boss of Siho, but I think we have a good relationship, so I didn't agree; I have promised Tulle that I will persuade you to cooperate with the Taurus people and rebel against the servants. ”
After listening to the second brother Butun, Hela let out a long sigh, knowing that he had no choice, and if he didn't agree, there was only a dead end.
Seeing Hela's attitude finally changed, a Taurus man came out of the inner room and sat down in the banquet.
Butun hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Brother, this is Mr. Turandu, the representative sent by the Great General Tule, and he will be our adviser in the future, responsible for our contact with the Great General. ”
Turan nodded slightly, "Patriarch Hela, we will be a family in the future, and we hope to cooperate sincerely and serve the Taurus Great General Tulle together." ”
Hela reluctantly stood up and smiled reluctantly at Turan, "That's nature, I'll do my best." ”
Turan said to Hela in a commanding tone: "Then please write a letter to the Guna patriarch of Donghuo, and persuade him to join forces with us to fight against the great patriarch's servant." ”
Turan gave Buton a look, and Butun quickly brought the antidote to Hela, who quickly regained her strength.
Butun called up a monitor on which he could write letters; Turan dictated the contents of the letter, only for Hela to write it herself.
The general meaning of the letter is that Donghuo must cooperate with Hela and resist the servant, otherwise he will be attacked by the Taurus; Guna was asked to keep the matter a secret and not to divulge the matter.
The letter was sent to Guna through a private channel, and Guna received the letter soon after.
Guna's reply soon returned, to the effect that Dongho did not intend to get involved in Hela's dispute with the servants, and was only willing to remain neutral and hoped to obtain the understanding of the Taurus people.
"What's that called?" The Taurus people Turan scolded angrily, "It's really a shame, I must clean up this disobedient Guna in the future." ”
How to deal with the servant, several assassinations in the past have not been successful, this time you have to change your strategy.
Butun came up with an idea, "The servant has two sons, and I have been friends with his youngest son, Najiri, since childhood, and we can think of a way to do it to him. ”
To the northwest of the Bird Feather River, on the hillside grasslands, there is a beautiful pasture, which is the pastoral area of Sihohela, and Najili is invited here to participate in the hunting banquet held in Butun.
It is a very classical hunt, with each hunter riding a horse and a longbow, and the prey is the local specialty, the four-eared deer.
There are more than a dozen people participating in the hunt, all of whom are friends and relatives invited by Butun, and the prey they shoot will become dinner food.
The people scattered, each looking for his prey, and Najili had already hunted a deer on horseback, and he found another and was in hot pursuit.
Leguet crept up from behind, aimed at Najiri and fired a bullet that hit Najili in the shoulder, and Najili immediately fell to the ground and passed out.
According to Butun's request, the bullet was not a live bullet, but a narcotic bullet, so it did not cause harm, but only made the person temporarily unconscious and unable to resist.
Leguet approached, took out the rope, and was about to tie up Butun and bring it back, when Najili suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and shot Legue's thigh, and Leguet sat on the ground with an "oops".
As the guns rang out, people on both sides rushed over, with the servants and Guna on the left, followed by a large group of guards, Hela and Butun on the right, and Turandu, the Taurus.
Seeing Guna beside the servant, Turan understood why the plan failed again, and he said viciously: "Gona, don't be ignorant, do you really want to stand with the servant and fight against the Taurus?" ”
Guna hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Turandu, I'm here to mediate between the servant and Hela, I hope that the two families will still live in peace, and we Donghuo will always remain neutral and will never be enemies of the Taurus." ”
Butun came out in a huff and said, "Servant, if you know the current affairs, quickly put Legai back, everything is still to be discussed." ”
Najili said angrily: "Release people, it's impossible, this guy attacked me behind my back, I have to take it back and interrogate it well to find out who is the mastermind behind it." ”
"I don't think there's any need for it," and without waiting for anyone else to speak, Turan stepped out and raised his hand to shoot, and a purple light struck Legai's chest, killing him at that moment.
Seeing that his friend had been killed, Butun was about to get angry and confront Turandu, but was stopped by Hela.
Turan pointed to Legue's corpse and said, "This useless thing can't even do this little thing, and it is more than innocent to die; Please remember that you must do your best to do things for the Taurus people, otherwise he will be your role model. ”
Only then did Hela say: "General Turandu, I think that's it for today, everything has to be considered in the long run." ”
Turandu nodded, and shouted at the other side: "Patriarch of the Imperial Servant, Patriarch of Gunna, I will give you some time, let you go back and think about it, I hope you will learn from Hela, adapt to the situation, and join the Taurus people as soon as possible, this is your right path and future." ”
The servant didn't say anything, took his men with him, boarded the battleship and returned to the base.
