Chapter 615: The Wild Fox's Treacherousness
"Hey, what do you think I'm doing?" Qin Ke looked left and right, but found that Jebege's finger was still firmly pointing at him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.
What is this? I stood by and didn't intend to wade into this troubled water, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I was an outsider, but why did this Jebeg point his finger at himself?
Well...... Although he was quite happy to see it just now, it was quite a bit of schadenfreude......
Because when Qin Ke went out with Wang Xuanwei's army, he saw with his own eyes what the Tang army did to the people......
I don't know how many people died under the sword and axe, how many people were displaced, ragged and fled on the road, children were separated from their parents in the endless fields, they didn't know whose arms they wept to, and the hungry and cold fell on the side of the road, looking at the sky while finally closing their eyes and waiting for the vulture to end their rugged bodies......
Qin Ke, who knew the terrible disaster of the army, naturally hated those sergeants who burned and looted like wild beasts, and Jebeg was the representative of this kind of person.
He hurried back to Daoxiang Village, because he was worried that Uncle Ji and the villagers would encounter bandits like Jebege, if he saw that Daoxiang Village was damaged at all, or the villagers were hurt at all, I am afraid that he would be angry at the crown, and directly draw out the Bodhisattva Sword and fight to the death with Jebege.
Therefore, when he saw that Jebeg was about to be disposed of by Cao Meng as a monkey chicken, he was naturally happy to see it, and even almost laughed out loud.
However, because of this incident, Qin Ke had a little more respect for Cao Meng, the lord of the Canghai Kingdom, and there were many people who dared to use the blade against others, but how many people really dared to face the blade at themselves? The world said that Cao Meng was a bloodthirsty and ferocious tiger in the north, but this tiger was willing to sacrifice one of his own generals for the sake of those people who were hurt.
Perhaps his purpose is not very pure, and it is somewhat to suppress the gradually loose atmosphere of the barbarians in the entire army, at least compared to the many powerful people in this world who don't care.
But the problem is, these things have nothing to do with him, he is just playing the role of a bystander, how can he be involved?
In fact, not only Qin Ke was a little dazed, but Cao Meng, Liu De, Guan Changyu and others present were a little unexpected.
They originally thought that Jebeg's last request was just a dignified death, but they didn't expect that Jebel was not as rough as he seemed on the surface, but rather a little cunning.
The barbarians believed in God-given divine power, and the tradition of dueling has been passed down in the grassland for thousands of years, and has long become an unwritten rule of the barbarians.
On the grassland, if two men fall in love with a woman at the same time, and the two quarrel with each other, they will finally use a duel to decide the woman's belonging.
The winner will naturally return with a beautiful woman, while the loser will be laughed at by everyone, and some may lose their lives directly in the duel.
But the duel that Jeberg is talking about is not this kind of duel, but a duel of life and death in the face of a great punishment.
The barbarians believe that the warriors with supreme power are all gods who are blessed by the immortal heaven, and their lord is the most powerful of the gods, and the lord thinks that his subordinates are guilty and should be killed, and if the subordinates have objections, they can choose a warrior in the tribe who is similar to their physique, and the two will fight openly.
If the guilty person fails to survive the fight, it proves that the immortal heaven no longer protects him, and his sin is conclusive, but because he is still an unyielding warrior before he dies, his family can not be held accountable.
There are few scenes of duels where the guilty are victorious, and once they appear, it proves that Immortal Heaven also agrees with his bravery, and his strength is still there, even if the lord insists on punishing him, he can't kill him, but can only exile him outside the territory, give him a knife, a bag of spirits, and let him fend for himself.
In the eyes of the Central Plains people, this method is very barbaric and unreasonable, but this is indeed a sacrosanct barbarian law, which has been passed down for a long time.
Zhebege's gamble is naturally able to win the duel and save his life, so that neither Cao Meng nor the Khan King Tamujin of the Qiyan Department can kill him anymore, and his family can be saved.
"Huh...... Hehehe......" Cao Meng laughed extremely wildly, causing Guan Changyu and Liu De to laugh too.
Cao Meng raised his eyes to look at Jebeg, shook his head helplessly, and said: "No wonder Tamu really called you a wild fox on the grassland, it seems that Lone has always regarded you as an eagle and looked down on you, you, you are really cunning......"
"Thank you for the compliment. At first glance, when I heard Cao Meng say that he was cunning, and with a smile, I thought that Cao Meng's word "treacherous" was praising him, and I couldn't help but show a smile that had succeeded in the conspiracy and said: "The lord of the country is wise and martial, and he should not take back what he just said, right?" If the lord of the country does not respect the immortal heaven and does not keep his promises, I am afraid that the major tribes will look down on the lord of the country when it is spread to the grassland. ”
Cao Meng's laughter continued, he still shook his head, and said: "Of course Lone will not take back my words, but do you know what Lone is laughing at? Lone is laughing at you, who is not good to choose, but you happen to choose an outsider, you choose an outsider to fight to the death, I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules of the grassland? People have nothing to do with the sea at all, so why should they follow the rules of the grassland with you? Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
As soon as the words "outsider" came out, Qin Ke immediately nodded vigorously and made an innocent expression.
"Outsider?" Jebeg repeated these three words several times, frowning as if he was thinking carefully about what these three words meant, and after raising his head, he looked at Cao Meng again, and said with some doubts: "How is it possible? ”
"Yes, you're lying to me. As if because of this answer, Jebeg's voice also became high-pitched, "I can see very clearly, the relationship between him and the military advisor is by no means simple, just when I just entered the door, he was still sitting at a table with you drinking, how could he be just an outsider!"
Cao Meng sighed, the smile on his face faded, Guan Chang Yu beside him raised his eyebrows, slapped his palm on the table, and shouted: "What are you doing with him with so much nonsense? We are not grassland people, why should we follow the so-called ancestral rules of Tamujin?"
"Long Feather, stand down. It was Liu De who spoke, and a light sentence seemed to have no weight, but it made Guan Changyu stop his steps to step forward.
Liu De shook his head and said, "Since the lord of the country has agreed to Jebege's request, we shouldn't interfere halfway." ”
"Big brother...... How are you going to speak for that guy?"
Guan Changyu, who was still young, looked at Liu De with some dissatisfaction: "Such a treacherous person, on weekdays, the third brother is afraid that he will be stabbed to death with a spear." ”
"He has killed many people with a spear, but he has never made fewer mistakes, if it weren't for his constant big and small mistakes over the years, why do you think he can only be a vanguard general? The third brother has a reckless temper, you can't be the same as him. Liu De stood in place, his back straight, his robe was straight, his hair was meticulous, and he looked like a master who came out of ancient paintings.
He knew very well that this matter seemed to be very small, but as Jebeg said, since Cao Meng had already agreed to his request, if he repented, it would definitely damage Cao Meng's prestige.
The barbarians have always been stubborn and admit death, and some tribes are only superficially subservient to the sea, the situation may not be stable, especially that Tamuzhen, not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but no one knows what he really thinks in his heart.
The largest tribe in the entire steppe is the Qiyan tribe, if someone makes a big fuss about the Jebeg matter, wouldn't it just happen to give several major tribes a reason to rebel?
What he could consider, Cao Meng naturally also considered.
Cao Meng smiled and said: "Jebege, the things on the grassland are naturally solved by themselves on the grassland, and the rules on the grassland are only obeyed by the people on the grassland." This little brother does have some old days with Liu De, but he has nothing to do with the sea, you find him to duel, you really find the wrong person, the master of the sea is alone, and he will not tell this kind of lie. ”
Jebeg still shook his head, in fact, he may not not believe Cao Meng, but in the current situation, if he really asked him to challenge Liu De or Guan Changyu according to the rules of the grassland, it would really be self-defeating.
Therefore, he could only bite one sentence and say: "Jebeg is not a fool, the lord of the country just thinks that this kid's cultivation is a lot worse than me, and thinks that the duel is unfair, so he will deliberately help him speak......"
