Chapter 613: The Majesty of the Sea (2nd Update)
Jebeg took it cautiously, but for some reason, seemed to hesitate for a moment at the bowl of wine, as if he didn't know whether he should drink it or not.
This barbarian archer, although he looks rough in appearance, can be regarded as rough and fine, and has experienced many battles between tribes and has a lot of experience. Even Tamujin jokingly called him a wild fox of the steppe, and in that case, he would always be more thoughtful than most barbarians.
He believed that he had been born and died for Cao Meng for so many years, and he should not be given death just because he robbed some people's property, but who would know if Cao Meng would surprise him?
You must know that before Cao Meng killed his father-in-law, he drank with him at the banquet with a smile on his face, laughed loudly, and vowed to protect Beidi County for his father-in-law until death, which made the fat old man laugh and said that he would marry his own daughter to Cao Meng.
And it was only half an hour's effort, Cao Meng took his subordinates and went directly all the way into the mansion, and without hesitation, he stabbed to death the old man with eyes full of disbelief.
This kind of behavior made even he, a prairie man, feel chills when he saw it.
This bowl of rice wine looks crystal clear, who knows if Cao Meng will put poison in it? Although it is said that it is difficult for a master of the Little Grandmaster realm to be poisoned, it is not really not afraid of poisoning.
Maybe if you drink it like this, the poison that pierces the intestines will turn into a knife in the stomach, cutting him to death.
He is a barbarian, and he doesn't have too many Central Plains people who are stupid and loyal to "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", but in the current situation, it is impossible for him to directly smash this bowl and then draw a knife to resist, right?
If you really want to do that, I'm afraid that it just gives Cao Meng a reason to kill himself, and among the few people present, whether it is Guan Changyu or Liu De, it is effortless to kill such a small grandmaster as him, and afterwards he will be charged with a crime of "rebellion" and will be scolded by future generations.
Jebege, who was in a mixed mood, thought about it for three breaths, but after all, there was still no way out, so he could only hold his breath and drink the bowl of rice wine as if he were drinking arsenic.
Qin Ke on the side looked interesting, thinking that this guy drank this bowl of rice wine, and the expression on his face was even more ugly than eating Xiao Hei's.
After seeing that Jebege finally finished drinking, Cao Meng said lightly: "If you want to come to this weak rice wine, it doesn't taste in your mouth, and it's not very comfortable to drink." ”
Liu De, who lowered his head, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, compared to Qin Ke, who was an official on the side, of course he knew Cao Meng better.
If this is the case, how could Cao Meng give people this bowl of water? I am afraid that this bowl of rice wine that is weak in his mouth will really have all kinds of flavors in Jebege's mouth, sour, astringent, bitter and spicy, where can it be regarded as bland?
It's true that it's uncomfortable to drink.
Listening to this, Jebeg also knew what he meant by Cao Meng letting him drink this bowl of wine, which was to warn him, I, Cao Meng, would kill you as easily, a bowl of poisonous wine, an assassin, an order, what can't be done?
Even if he still has the protection of the steppe Khan King Tamuzhen behind him, but a steppe Khan king, can it really be that a subordinate who is not related by blood can turn his face against the lord of the Canghai Sea?
After thinking about this, Jebeg's previous pride suddenly disappeared, and after gritting his teeth, he suddenly knelt down, and this time on both knees, and said vigorously: "The lord of the country is angry, Jebeg is wrong." ”
Cao Meng didn't move in a hurry, poured himself a bowl of wine again, and said in a steady voice: "Oh? Then you should tell me, where are you wrong?"
"Jebeg was proud of his achievements in front of the lord of the country, and he was not polite, and he asked the lord of the country to forgive him. Jeberg gritted his teeth.
"Proud of your achievements? It seems that at this time, you are still hard-mouthed. Cao Meng sneered, then closed his eyes and pondered, "Jebeg, how many years have you been fighting for Lone?"
"It's been eight years. Jebeg bowed his head.
"In the past eight years, Gu Ke has treated you badly?" Cao Meng asked softly.
"Nope. Jebeg took a deep breath and said, "Jebeg has his current status because of the lord of the country. The lord of the kingdom also made this great bow for me, and I have always been grateful for the reward of the lord. ”
"Then, do you dislike the official position I have given you too low?" Cao Meng's voice echoed leisurely in the adobe room.
Jebel bowed his head and said: "Jebeg's position is now only below a few generals, and several generals are heroes, Jebel is not their opponent, so he is naturally convinced." ”
"Is that because I gave you too little money?"
Jebeg shook his head and said: "Jebeg's grandmother lives in a big tent, and the surrounding pastures are grazing with our family's cattle and sheep. ”
"Then tell me, what are you missing?" It seemed that because of the affirmative answer, Cao Meng's eyes finally opened, just a glance, but Qin Ke next to him suddenly jumped in his heart, and subconsciously clenched the hilt of the Bodhisattva sword.
That's the eye of a tiger!
Containing wrath and majesty, and lofty as a king, in fact, he was the one standing at the highest point in the kingdom of Canghai, and just a glance made the two barbarians behind Jebeg bow their heads.
Cao Meng's voice also contained great anger, staring at the back of Jebege's head, he almost gritted his teeth and said: "What do you still lack? Do you still need to rob the people? Do you still need to rob those big families? Do you really think that if you are alone in Hongguan, no one will impeach you against me, the 'Divine Arrow General'? In just two days, you kidnapped and killed five people's daughters, and three of them were even slaughtered by you, do you think that as long as you kill all those people, you can suppress this matter, and God will not know it?"
Jebeg didn't understand, he had already arranged the aftermath, and almost suppressed the whole thing, but who didn't know whether he knew life or death dared to expose his shortcomings? Or ...... Cao Meng has never relaxed his surveillance.
"You are proud of your achievements, and you don't care. Cao Meng's eyes were sharp, "Lone is not those pedantic old Confucians, and he doesn't need to sort out the rules for everything." You Jebeg was born in the Beggars tribe and grew up with your Khan King Tamujin, so you respect the traditions of your steppe and refuse to act with the etiquette of the Canghai Kingdom. ”
"But you plundered the people's property and connived at the reckless behavior of your subordinates, so that the people's resentment boiled. These things cannot be regarded as if they never happened. Cao Meng said heavily, "What you want is that our army has no offense against the people of the Mo family, but what have you done? Do you still have Lone in your eyes? Is there still Canghai? Or do you plan to simply pull up the banner and betray Canghai and continue to go back to your grassland to be nomadic?"
Every question was like a thousand pounds of weight, pressing on Jebeg's shoulders, and before Cao Meng could finish speaking, his head was almost lowered into the mud of the kitchen.
Jebel had no intention of rebelling. Jebeg lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The autumn of the lord of the country has not committed any crimes, and Jebel does not understand." Jebeg was just doing things according to the rules of the steppe, and the soldiers had won the battle, and many people had died, and there was nothing wrong with them trying to grab something they could use. I heard that the army of Xiang Chu of the Tang State had plundered almost all the gold, silver and grain in the places where it passed, why did our army have to do this? In Jebege's opinion, even if the Mo family's army set foot on the grassland, I am afraid that it would also snatch the gold and silver treasures and rape those women who were powerless to resist. ”
"Of course you don't understand. Alone on this expedition, what I want is to quell the war, and what I want is for the people to return to their hearts and unify the world. And what do you want to give Lonely?poison the world?,Destroy the withering and decay?" Cao Meng looked at Jebeg coldly, "If this is the case, why do I have the people in the sea to be attached to, and why can I let the people of the world be attached?"
Jebeg shook his head and said, "There is a saying in the steppe that sheep will succumb to the beast of prey, but they will not be grateful to the weeds that keep them alive. The lord of the country wants to show favor to the people of the Mo family, but will the people of the Mo family really accept this feeling?"
