Early the next morning, Aqimuhan sent someone to bring breakfast. After breakfast, Dorji asked Gao Shan and Niman to take Guli and Sang Lan to the courtyard to sort out their luggage; I sat in the accounting room and waited for Achimuhan.

Achimuhan came to the accounting room and asked Erji, "Are you going to leave now?" ”

Dorji nodded, "Hmm! Now ready to go...... However, I want to trouble you with one thing. ”

Aqimuhan was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" Just say I'll do my best! ”

"This thing. It might make you a little embarrassed," Dorji said, also observing Akimuhan's expression, ready to test his reaction, "In the big warehouse next door, it seems that there are about twenty people locked up?" ”

Achimuhan was surprised, "Yes! It is a villager of Huerdong Village...... What do you mean? ”

"Do these people matter to you?"

"What is important about these Chinese? When the village handed over the gold, they were ready to release them. ”

"How much gold are you going to make them pay?"

"A total of twenty-six people, twenty-six catties of gold to pay!"

"Do you think they'll be able to hand it over?"

"Hey! There are gold mines in the Hora ditch. This bit of gold should not be difficult for them......"

"And what if you can't hand over the gold?"

"That'...... These people must die here! Let's talk about you first. Aqimuhan said suspiciously.

Dorji said solemnly: "I want to take them to Turks together!" ”

Aqimuhan was stunned! Calming down, he asked in amazement, "You mean, you're going to take them with you?" ”

Dorji nodded.

Achimuhan looked puzzled, "What are you taking them for?" ”

Dorji said solemnly: "I will take them with me because I am at the other end of the ditch of Hora; It was at the junction of Bayingbrook and Turks that I stocked up on a shipment. It would take at least thirty people to get that shipment to Turks...... You can rest assured! Twenty-six pounds of gold, I'll come out! However, I would like you to send a few cavalry to follow us; When you get to the end of the Hora ditch, I can pay you for it! ”

Aqimuhan couldn't cry or laugh, and was very embarrassed! Speechless.

Dorji said: "Don't be too embarrassed! I know you can't be the master. Go and ask your fourth prince now. I'll just wait here, okay? ”

Aqimuhan nodded suspiciously and walked out of the accounting room.

Qi Feng hurriedly held the wet towel and walked to the door of the enemy command post while wiping his face casually. At this time, I heard the lead in the command post, shouting loudly inside:

“…… Absolutely not! I want to take people away, but I don't want to pay the bill! And you want me to send someone to follow him to get the money? It's a joke. Tell him! No way! ……”

After a while, Achimuhan hurried to the accounting room, and said to Dorji with a very embarrassed expression:

"Excuse me! The fourth prince said, as long as you give us twenty-six catties of gold now, you can take all the people away. Let our men follow you to the other end of the Hora ditch to fetch it, he doesn't agree......"

Dorji pretended to be angry, and said loudly: "I think you are the one who is far-sighted and ambitious. That little kid doesn't understand anything! I thought that I put forward such a request to give you a chance to get closer to Russia. You're going to be a good guy and give people to me to take away. Now it's good, I can't pay him or give him gold. It's just a no-brainer! ……

"Tell him again. General Krpakovsky, my eldest brother! The shipment I had near Tieri Daban was military supplies, and he personally urged it. Besides, when I return to Turks this time, and come back to your 'Khunfu Khanate,' I will be the Russian commercial representative in Korla. Your four princes, though they hate us Russia; However, there is a 'trade agreement' between the two countries. You ask him to take a good look at the terms and conditions...... People I must take away! Twenty-six pounds of gold, pay it to the place! Hurry up and ask him again! ”

Achimuhan hurriedly turned around and walked out of the accounting room.

After a while, Achimuhan returned with a dejected expression. Seeing Dorji, he didn't speak, but shook his head gently.

Seeing this, Dorji knew the answer. Slam the table! Shouted loudly: "What a fucking ignorance! You take me to him! ......" said and was about to go out.

Aqimuhan hurriedly stopped him and said with a wry smile: "You and the fourth prince are both young people with fiery tempers!" When they met, they collided with each other and refused to give in to each other, which hurt their harmony...... Don't worry, let's see if there's another way? ”

Dorji sat on the chair and shook his head and sighed...... In fact, he already had an idea in his heart.

Dorji suddenly said to Aqimuhan: "That's it! I will not trouble you any more. Let my people, take these people first; Send men after you to fetch the gold. Bet me here...... When your men have come back with the gold; I'll leave again. Okay, right? ”

Aqimuhan's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Hmm! I'll see it! I'll go explain it to the fourth prince again and see his attitude? ……”

After a while, Achimuhan came back with his head drooping again, and shook his head helplessly at Dorji.

Dorji smiled and said to Aqimuhan, "Don't be in a dilemma, run back and forth. In this way, I will go and talk calmly with the fourth prince; If it doesn't work anymore, forget it! Saying that, he glanced at Qi Feng, and Qi Feng understood.

Akimuhan is already in great trouble! Hearing Dorji say this, he saw that Dorji's anger seemed to have basically dissipated; He nodded and agreed to let him go and meet with him.

Qi Feng said deliberately: "I have to go with you and watch you." Don't be impulsive and hurt the peace! ”

Achimuhan nodded.

The three of them came to the door of the enemy command post together. Aqimuhan asked Dorji and Qi Feng to wait at the door, and he had to go and report it first.

Aqimuhan entered the command post. Within two minutes, he heard Huli shouting loudly:

"I told you, no! Are you deaf? What are you bringing here for? ”

I heard Achimuhan as if he was begging to lead him to Huri, "We can't afford to mess with the Russians!" If you can detain him first, let go of the people he wants; When the gold is returned, let him go. I think it's a win-win-win thing. Or are you thinking about it? ……”

Led to Huri and then yelled, "! For the sake of this bit of gold, it is necessary to give up the dignity of the 'Hongfu Khanate'. Is it worth it? What the are the Russians? When did you talk about credit? Don't you know? ……”

Before he could finish venting, Dorji barged in.

As he walked, Dorji opened his arms and shouted, "Hello! My Royal Highness, Prince! What kind of misunderstanding is it? Blinded you! Let you hate us Russians like this? ……”

Qi Feng followed closely behind him.

Aqimuhan was stunned! Hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness the Prince is considering your request. The answer is right away......"

"No, no, no! My request, Your Highness can ignore it. Now, I just want to hear His Royal Highness give me an explanation of his hatred of Russia......" Dorji said, sitting down in the chair next to him.

He turned and pointed at Qi Feng and the other two enemy cavalry officers, "You all go out." I'd like to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, in depth! ”

Qi Feng took the initiative and turned around and walked out of the command post with the two enemy officers. In the command post, there were only three left: Dorji, Yinshanghuli and Aqimuhan.

Led to Huli pulling his face and asking, "What do you want to say if you want to see me?" ”

Dorji looked at the little devil in front of him, who was not very old, but he was also murderous, and he wanted to step forward and break his neck immediately. It's important to save people! You have to be patient to have a battle of wits and courage with him, and try to avoid knives and guns. He got straight to the point and said:

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is young and vigorous, and he is frank and outspoken. I appreciate it! That's the kind of character I am. But you should not have a hostile misunderstanding of the entire Russian Empire. It is a great pleasure for me to discuss this with you...... Now, I would like to ask you to ask your questions. I'll answer! Well answered, you granted my request; If I didn't answer well, I immediately slapped my ass and left. What do you think? ”

Aqimuhan felt that the scene was very embarrassing! But at this time, he was no longer in control of the situation. Don't know which side to persuade to stay? in order to calm this seemingly inevitable controversy.

Introducing Huli instantly, he felt that it was good to have a theory; It can also solve the mystery in my heart and show the evil spirit of being oppressed by Russia. He smoothed his breath and spoke:

"Well, good! I do have something that I would like to discuss with you Russians. Especially if you want to talk to people like you who have traveled from south to north and seen the world...... Let's talk about it first. The Kokand Khanate and your Russian Empire were at peace. But now, you have invaded more than half of the territory of the Kokand Khanate, and you must destroy the Kokand Khanate. Millions of Kokand people have been left homeless and cornered! How do you explain that? ”

Dorji secretly rejoices! Feel that these guys are already convinced of their "Russian" identity! Now is the time to take the opportunity to take the initiative. He said slowly:

"It's a very general question! I want to ask you first. We are on the southern border of Russia, all the way to the shores of the Indian Ocean; Separated by several countries, do you know? ”

"From the seaside, that's India, Afghanistan, the Kokand Khanate."

"Do you know the current situation in India and Afghanistan?"

"The land exists. But India was already a colony of the British Empire; Decades of war between Afghanistan and the British Empire are still going on......"

"That's right! Let me ask you again, by what means did the British Empire acquire the lands of these two countries? ”

"It's nothing more than war...... Slaughter! ”

"That's right! It's war and slaughter. The British Empire slaughtered millions of locals in India and Afghanistan. So what was their most direct motive for killing people and plundering land, in addition to expanding the territory of the British own empire? Do you know? ”

"That must be an attempt to contain the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire, everyone knows this!"

"Hmmm! Your vision is insightful. I also ask you, if Russia turns a blind eye to the Kokand Khanate...... The British marched 9,000 kilometers eastward and took India and Afghanistan. What will be its next target? ”

Led to Huli for a while. Aqimuhan said casually: "That is our Kokand Khanate......"

Dorji nodded and continued, "Yes! If we Russia do not strike, the British will definitely attack the Kokand Khanate. No mercy! …… Geographically speaking, Russia can protect this territory and continue to coexist with the locals by taking this territory...... But the British are different. They must exterminate the people who live here! to colonize their own race...... There is only one culprit for all this - the British Empire! What do you think? You should have an answer to your first question, right? ”

Drew Huri snorted contemptuously and asked rhetorically: "As you say, Russia is instead a 'savior'?" ”

Dorgi gestured his hands and continued to talk, "For the Kokand Khanate. The Russian Empire can be said to be the 'savior', but it can also be said to be the 'aggressor' and the murderer. However, the British can only be invaders and murderers; Definitely not a 'savior'. Don't look at the fact that now the British are supplying you with guns and cannons against the Chinese, very actively; When this is done, the first to kill you will definitely be the British! …… In this way, it is using the 'oil' from your body to fry the 'meat' from your body. Because in the end, the British coveted the two lands of your Kokand Khanate and Xinjiang, China. ”

Triggering Hu Li's face suddenly turned angry, and he asked sharply, "I'll ask you again!" Since the Kokand Khanate and the British Empire joined forces to take Xinjiang of the Qing Empire and established the 'Hongfu Khanate', then Ili should be the territory of the 'Hongfu Khanate'. Why did the Russians still forcibly occupy Ili? ”

Dorji replied unhurriedly: "The British have always had bad intentions. Then we, Russia, can only be forced to fight-for-tat. Where do they reach out? We also have to follow up at all times, and return the color ...... Moreover, Ili is on Russia's side, and it is about Russia's border security and national interests. The British need a 'buffer zone', and so does Russia; You should understand the truth of this, don't make a fuss! …… What do you think? Now can my request be considered? ”

Aqimuhan hurriedly came out to play the round, "Don't worry! Please let His Royal Highness the Prince consider it...... Your Royal Highness! This gentleman is the brother of General Krpakovsky. His shipment was military supplies and needed manpower. Now dealing with the Chinese with Russia is also good for our 'Hongfu Khanate'. Or would you think again? ……”

Led to a nameless fire in Huli, and shouted loudly: "What to consider? I don't care what bullshit he is Russian generals! I can't get ready-made gold here. Don't want to let them go! ”

He pointed at Dorji with his hand, "You! Get out! ……”

Seeing that the fire had arrived, Dorji was ready to move on to the next step. He slammed the long table in front of him, and Huo Di stood up, pointed his finger at Shangshang, and shouted:

"No one has ever dared to humiliate me like this. Not only have you humiliated my dignified Russian knights; And humiliate my great Russian Empire! Now, I invite you to duel with me! ”

Achimuhan was taken aback! hurriedly stood between the two, and said with a sad face: "There is something to discuss, it is easy to discuss......

When he saw that someone was spreading wild in his command post, he was annoyed and angry! While pulling out the gun, he shouted:

"Come on! ……”

Dorji's eyes are quick! He pushed Aqimuhan away, stepped forward and grabbed in front of Huri. Before the holster of the gun that led to Huri was drawn, the blade of the Russian waist knife in Dorji's hand had already hit his throat...... The hand that drew the gun loosened.

Dorji dismounted his revolver and threw it at Akimuhan.

The enemy cavalry officer at the door, hearing that something was wrong with the noise in the house, turned around and broke in...... Qi Feng also followed closely behind them.

Aqimuhan hurriedly stopped and shouted, "It's okay! It's okay! Everybody went out ......."

The two enemy officers were stunned for a moment when they saw Aqimuhan holding a pistol in his hand! All glanced at the lead to Huli. He waved his hand to them, and all three of them withdrew from the command post.

Aqimuhan hurriedly closed the door, turned to Dorji and said, "You are all young men with strong blood. If there's something, it's easy to talk about and discuss......"

Dorji pointed to Shanghuli and said angrily: "If you think that you are still a man! You should accept my invitation to a duel. Weapons and dueling methods, you choose! The rules, you decide! You can shoot first, or you can shoot first. Mr. Aqimuhan may be your witness and serve as a referee......"

Yinshang Huli, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, feels that he has lost face just now, and he is also angry! How can such a provocation be tolerated? Without thinking, he cried out aloud:

"I accept!"

When Dorji saw that the purpose of provoking anger and attracting Huli had been achieved, his heart was ecstatic!

Achimuhan was stunned! Overwhelmed.

Led to Huri gasping again and yelling at Achimuhan, "Let his people now, and the people he wants." Fuck off! Just leave him behind! I'd like to see what he's capable of...... He thought I cared about the gold. What a fucking joke! ”

At this time, Aqimuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was finally a turning point in resolving the dispute; This "dead knot" is at least untied first.

He hurriedly went out to arrange for people to release all the twenty-six farmers who were locked up in the warehouse in Huerdong Village to farm the land; And immediately handed them over to the four "Russians" of Gao Shan, Niman, Guli and Sanglan.

In order to express his "goodwill" towards Russia, Achimukhan also personally explained to the two "Russian brides" that he should leave with someone quickly.

Qi Feng stayed behind as a witness on Dorji's side in the dueling arena.

At this time, the enemy cavalry team that had entered the Hora Gully in search of gold also returned. The officer leading the team entered the command post and reported to the leader Huri that nothing had been found in his team.

Led to Huli absentmindedly waved his hand and let him out.

Aqimuhan deliberately lingered outside the command post for a while, in order to let the two young men who were not at odds with each other quiet and extinguish the fire. He asked the kitchen to prepare two large bowls of wine and two large plates of mutton and brought them to the command post.

Dorji didn't have the heart to eat in the morning, and now he has a big appetite! When he saw the wine and meat, he was not polite, and immediately started eating and drinking. But the anger in Hu Li's heart has not yet smoothed out, and he has no heart to eat and drink.

When Achimuhan entered the command post, he saw that Dorji was still eating and drinking, and that the wine and meat of Huli had not moved, so he cautiously said to Dorji:

"Everybody, take your breath. I think this 'duel' thing, forget it, right? You are the brave knight of Russia; Our Royal Highness the Prince is also a top student and a champion in martial arts skills at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst of the British Army. Whoever hurts no one is good......"

Led to Huli yelled: "Don't stop! Let him eat and drink. This may be his last lunch...... After a while. I will let him, like their Russian 'poet' Pushkin, bow his noble head in the dueling arena......"

Dorji didn't hear it, and ate the last piece of meat on his plate; I finished a bowl of wine. Got up and said:

"That's it! You choose the place. Seven Star Mountain Passes, Holagou Valley, and the Kaidu River......"

Aqimuhan sounded a little puzzled? How can this "Russian" be so familiar with the mountains and rivers here?

Sho Shanghuli sneered and said: "I heard that before the duel, the Russian knights choose a place to bury themselves in advance. The choice of the venue for this duel is yours. Take your pick! ”

Dorji smiled and said, "Good! You want me to choose...... I will choose the high ground between the Seven Star Mountain Pass and the Kaidu River. On the top of this plateau, there is a Mongol Aobao. If I am unfortunately killed in a duel, my body will not have to be transported back to Russia, nor to Turks; Just let my people dig a hole on the edge of Ao Bao and bury me...... Just tie a cross with poplar on the mound. Do you think it's okay? ”

Shojo Huli replied loudly: "Okay! Let's go! ”

Aqimuhan hurriedly asked, "Bring a cavalry company." Is it enough? ……”

Draw Huli's eyes and stare at you! Roared: "Two duel! What cavalry company to bring? Don't let the Russians look down on us! Two duelists, two notaries, just the four of us! You double as the chief referee...... Bring two British sabers. ”

Dorji, Qi Feng, Yinshang Huli and Aqimuhan came to the high ground where Meng He cut down the enemy's banner and sacrificed his country. The Ao Bao on the top stands majestically and is very eye-catching.

Dorji rushed to lead Huri and Achimuhan and asked, "How is it here?" ”

Before Akimuhan could lead Huli to speak, he hurriedly came out again to persuade peace. Said to Dorji:

"A duel between the two young men. It's not just about your own youthful and vigorous life; It is also about the prospects for cooperation between the two countries. Matters! We must not act hastily...... I beg you one last time! Take back the duel invitation ......"

Led to Huli and shouted: "Alright! Stop being verbose! It's too late for him to take it back now. I disagree! …… To be fair, we're more than knives. This knife was the latest saber in the equipment of the British cavalry...... Give him the knife! ”

Dorji took the British saber handed over by Akimhan. Shaking slightly, he tried it, nodded and said:

"Hmmm! This is similar to the 'Chasik saber' used by our Cossack cavalry; Yes! Make do with ......"

Sho Huli shouted, "First immediately, then off the horse." Whoever stabs the opponent in more than three places wins! Do you understand? ”

Dorji shouted, "Understood! Let's go! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Berkhuri glanced quickly at the sun overhead, then rode his horse in the easterly direction. At this time, the sun is close to the center, but it is still easterly.

Dorji understands the other party's little trick of "attacking with the light" very well; He urged his horse to begin moving in a westerly direction.

The two rode in opposite directions for a hundred meters each, then turned around and looked at each other for a while with their knives in hand.

Led to Huli looking at the fearless Dorji from afar, he couldn't wait to immediately chop this arrogant and rude "Russian" who didn't take himself seriously at all into two pieces. Only then can you relieve the hatred in your heart!

Dorji looked at Huli from afar, and his heart was unusually happy! Anyway, the big thing has been done, so now I will play a few tricks with this little devil who doesn't know the height of the sky. Let's take a look at what he studied at the military academy in the UK. Then use Chinese kung fu to teach him a lesson. Teach him how to behave? Let him understand what it means to "there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky......

Led to Huli to raise his sword to attack first, Dorji urged his horse to meet the ...... When the distance between the two sides was only four or five meters away, Yin Shanghuli suddenly changed his attitude of impact, and quickly leaned over and swept towards Dorji's chest...... Dorji was already on guard, quickly leaned on horseback, waved his knife to protect his chest, and said something in his mouth: "Look at the moon with peace of mind!" ”

The blade slashed across the blade, leaving a string of sparks behind by the collision friction of the metal......

Seeing that the first round was missed, he continued to urge the horse to attack after turning around. At the moment when the two horses intersected, he changed his knife technique again, and quickly drew a fierce and tricky arc to slash towards Dorji...... Dorji was unhurried, waved the knife in his forehand and held the knife that led to Huli, and there were still words in his mouth: "Spirit monkey picking peaches!" ”

He slammed the opponent's right arm holding the knife with the back of the knife with his backhand, and the saber in Huli's hand flew out of his hand in an instant......

Aqimuhan was shocked! Just waved his hand and was about to shout, but was grabbed by Qi Feng...... He saw that Dorji did not take the opportunity to attack or harm the other party, so he did not shout. But a cold sweat broke out on his body instantly! He has already realized: his "fourth prince" is definitely not an opponent of this "Russian".

Dorji turned and urged the horse to take a few steps forward, leaned down and picked up the knife stuck in the ground with the tip of the knife, and threw it at the leading hurry. Shojo Huri caught the saber with his left hand.

Feeling that his right arm was wounded, and that his left hand was not good for riding with a sword, he jumped off his horse. Mouth shouted:

"The project is over right now, and the fight begins!"

Dorji also jumped off his horse to respond, smiling and beckoning to him to attack.

Led to Huli wielding a knife in his left hand, he used the set of professional moves taught by the military academy to take Dorji...... The moves, all of which were easily defused by Dorji.

When he drew the knife out again, he was held by Dorji; Turning around, a flying kick kicked him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

As he struggled to get up, the tip of Dorji's knife rested on his throat again......

Aki Mu was stunned by the rare appearance! Wide-eyed and eager shouting, "Stop, stop, stop!" The duel is over! The duel is over! ......" shouted and ran quickly.

"Mr. Aqimuhan! According to the rules of duels in our Russia. Only one of the two of us can get out of here alive! Dorji said.

"It's over! Come to an end! Keep people under the knife! We don't want your gold! You can leave right away...... There will be a period later! Aqimuhan cried out in fear as he lifted the ground to the ground.

Only then did he understand that this "Russian" is really powerful! He was no match for him. If you continue to compete, not only will you not be able to maintain your dignity, but you will also lose your life in vain...... At this moment, he had given up his arrogant desire to fight to the end, and closed his mouth and did not speak.

Dorji threw the British saber in his hand in front of them. Said with a disdainful face:

"Although Pushkin did not represent Russia, he also fell on his back, and did not bow that noble head until his death! …… One more word of advice! As long as you go to the territory of other countries to kill people and set fires, you will not end well! See? ……”

As he spoke, Dorji pointed to the Ao Bao on the high place, "Such Ao Bao can be seen everywhere; He is both a mountain god and a warrior. You can't defeat the gods everywhere! …… Bye! ”

After Dorji finished speaking, he and Qi Feng stepped on their horses and galloped towards the Hora Gully in the center of the Seven Star Mountain Passes......

Looking at the backs of Dorji and Qi Feng who were already far away, Akimuhan and Yinshang Huli both felt as if it was a dream!

In a trance, in addition to being surprised, how do you think that this "Russian" does not seem to look like a real Russian? …… Because this "Russian" is too familiar with every plant and tree here? The moves he used were neither the sword techniques of the Russian Cossack cavalry nor the fighting techniques of the Europeans; Rather, it uses "Chinese Kung Fu...... And the few words he just left. It is like a sobering quote from a philosopher's master; It's more like the heavenly gods of this ancient land, the ultimate warning to these invaders!
