Chapter 661: The New King
Gu Shenwei arrived at the camp of the Xiao Yan clan an hour later, but the result was still a little early: the new King of Yao, Tosai, had not yet appeared.
Xiao Yan personally went out of the tent to greet her, dressed in a light military dress, but on her head was wearing a glittering crown, decorated with colorful jewels, this outfit was very suitable, and she suddenly looked several years younger.
She spread her arms like a man to welcome, then grabbed the dragon king's arm and announced to everyone: "The dragon king's rebirth from the fire is the blessing of the North Court and the blessing of the grassland, and he is the messenger sent by God to calm the war and restore the national prestige!"
Many soldiers gathered on both sides, and when they heard Xiao Yan's words, they cheered in unison, far exceeding the camp of the country of incense.
The two camps were not far apart, and they were horns on each other, and the old man Mu, who had proclaimed himself the protector of the dragon king, came with him, and in the midst of a cheer, pointed to himself and shouted, "I saved the dragon king from the fire!" ”
Shangguan Fei followed the old man Mu and followed, and then whispered to reveal the truth, "What's the danger, it's all fake fire." ”
Old man Mu poked Shangguan Fei's waist with one finger, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you dare to enter the fake fire?"
Shangguan Fei didn't dare to say any more, but he was not convinced in his heart, how could he know in advance that Han Fen had created a special flame, which looked like it was surging to the sky, but in fact, most of it was light and smoke with no heat, but the old man Mu was familiar with the secret techniques of Xiaoyue Hall, so he naturally knew it for a long time, otherwise with his temper and principles, how could he risk saving people?
Few people paid attention to the small movements of the two, and the cheers gradually stopped, and Xiao Yan and the Dragon King walked side by side to the tent, "I will see the new king later, the Dragon King had better restrain himself." ”
Gu Shenwei couldn't think of anyone who was more restrained than himself, so he responded vaguely.
Before the two of them could sit down in the tent, they said that King Yao had arrived.
First, a loud horn sounded, announcing the arrival of important people, Xiao Yan smiled and invited the dragon king to go out to greet him, standing at the door, Gu Shenwei saw hundreds of knights driving into the camp, from head to toe, including mounts, all dressed in white silver armor, quickly lined up on both sides, and opened a special passage for the master.
Beiting was founded on horseback and archery, and for the convenience of combat, most of them wore light leather armor, and only embellished metal on key parts, so this group of silver-armored knights was extremely different, and it seemed that there was not much practical use.
After waiting for a while, Tosai finally appeared, riding a pure white war horse, followed by a dozen retinues, he did not wear heavy armor, and deliberately wanted to show the arrogance of the steppe nobles, and drove like a gust of wind, until he was within ten paces of the dragon king and the little clan, and then suddenly stopped his horse.
The white horse raises its two front hooves, its body is almost upright, Tosai is firmly attached to the horse's back, and his right hand holds the whip high, holding this position for a moment, enough to impress the viewer.
Gu Shenwei felt that this kind of thing was more natural to do by chasing the king.
Tosai is no longer the prince who is tortured by secret ** and under multiple pressures, the chaos of the Dragon Court has brought him great benefits, and the remnants of King Kua and King Yao are all owned by him, and overnight, he has become a decisive person, and is even qualified to win the throne of Khan.
And Luo Ning Tea, the unparalleled beautiful woman in the world, finally admitted that he was a strong man and was willing to accept his love.
Suddenly ascending to a high position, Tosai had not yet grasped the great power of the smile, so he let his expression be majestic to the level of arrogance, "The Dragon King is fine, very good." ”
The tone of the speech was also different from before, popping out word by word, very brief, as if they were all lethal weapons, and too much talk would hurt the innocent.
She was adept at using her smile, from smiling to laughing, she could distinguish at least fifteen types to express or disguise different emotions, and now she showed a subtle smile, her eyes slightly widened, showing just the right amount of surprise and admiration, and as enthusiasm as ever.
"The most handsome man on the steppe is here, Tosai, can't you keep a low profile?, Dragon King, don't let him go to your camp, or those female soldiers will not have the heart to fight." ”
Everyone called Tosai "His Royal Highness the King of Yao", but only this grandmother-level Xiao Yan called him by his name, showing intimacy and affection, which did not disgust him at all, but was a little proud.
Laughter and wine, these two important weapons for interpersonal communication, Gu Shenwei did not have it, not only that, he once broke into Tosai's tent and witnessed the prince's dazed and frightened appearance, obviously not the new prince's favorite character.
Gu Shenwei coughed lightly twice, pressed his right hand on his heart, and moved his left arm slightly, Fang Wen, who took the first step, immediately supported him, raised his head and said to Tosai: "Please forgive Your Highness King Yao, the Dragon King has just woken up, and his injuries have not yet healed." ”
"I'm fine. Gu Shenwei pretended to be unhappy and pushed the military advisor away, but his steps were unsteady, and blood oozed from his chest.
Tosai jumped off the horse and patted the Dragon King's shoulder with concern, "It's so badly injured, you should have a good rest, I'm too careless with Xiao Yan." ”
Tosai's two hands were not small, Gu Shenwei shook them twice, and Fang Wen supported him again.
Entering the tent, Tosai quickly abandoned the pretense of friendliness, and while others sat down, he stood in the middle, and said in the voice of his master: "This is a secret conversation. ”
The servants and entourage left obediently, Fang Wen got up and wanted to leave, Gu Shenwei motioned for him to sit down, "The military advisor is my brainstorm, I have just woken up, I still don't understand many things, I need him to be present, I hope King Yao won't mind." ”
Thorsai looked for a moment, then nodded forcefully and quickly, "Okay." ”
There were only four people left in the tent, and Tosai took over the master's voice, "I and the Xiao Yan clan are both concerned about one question, is the dragon king's sword still as sharp as before?"
"I tried it. Gu Shenwei did not give a direct answer.
"Well, I also think so, the Holy King has raised a lot of killers, it may be the people of Jinpeng Castle, and the assassination of important generals everywhere is a huge threat, can the Dragon King try it on them?"
"Yes, I need time to ......"
"Three days. Tosai interrupted the Dragon King, "The current chaos is changing rapidly, there is no time to make a careful plan, within three days, I hope to see the Dragon King's severed head, the enemy's killers and generals can be, the more the better." ”
"Okay, I just want to explain that the killers of the Holy King have nothing to do with Jinpeng Castle, they are all disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, and I need to know who the enemy is. ”
Torsai raised his head and lowered his gaze at the Dragon King, "Everyone who isn't on my side. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Xiaoyuetang seems to have been a subordinate of the Dragon King in the past, right?"
"Yes. ”
Tosai didn't ask, turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, and snorted softly.
Fang Wen is mouth opened to break the embarrassing atmosphere, "The Dragon King is very concerned about the 100,000 close servants, come here to ...... today"
Tosai seemed to be very fond of interrupting others, and without even looking at Fang Wen, he said loudly: "Leave it to me the close attendants, they are the real cavalry of the Northern Court, and they obey only the strongest among the sons of the Khan, and when I defeat the enemy armies, these 100,000 people will know who they will be loyal to." ”
An extremely important topic was over, Tosai still did not sit down, grabbed the wine glass and drank it down, nodded at Xiao Yan, only glanced at the Dragon King, turned and strode away.
Even in the face of Tosai's background, Xiao Yan kept smiling, "Power gives men everything, the only thing that is taken away is wisdom, hey, this seems to be what the old Khan King told me, old things, even if they die, they will be attached to me." ”
"Thankfully, I don't particularly need his wisdom. ”
"Haha. Xiao Yan smiled happily, "The Dragon King doesn't need his wisdom, but he needs the Dragon King's woman, Tosai went to curry favor with Luo Ning Tea, if it weren't for this woman, he wouldn't come to me at all." ”
"Ronin tea is not my woman. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's not, anyway, she's very useful now, and she's become smarter, she actually knows the truth of wanting to meet and refuse first, and she's filled the tent with screens, so that Tosai can only hear her voice and not see her, I have to say that this trick is really effective, our King Yao has been completely fascinated by her, and even promised to immediately crown her as the Great Clan. ”
"King Yao is very generous. ”
"Well, when he was generous enough to be willing to hand over the army, everything was solved. ”
"Will he gain the allegiance of the close servants?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Yan put away his smile for the first time, showing a serious side, "The Servant Army has now become a key force in turning the tide of the Dragon Court, and everyone wants to win their allegiance, but Tosai thinks too simply. The Chamberlain Army is not monolithic, it is divided into two parts, one is ordinary soldiers, all of whom are innocent sons of good families, they are only loyal to the Old Khan or his heirs, and the other part is the descendants of the nobility, the eldest son of all nobles, from the age of fifteen must join the Chamberlain, starting from the junior officers, and serve for at least ten years. They came from different tribes, each with their own backgrounds and backers, formed many gangs, and actually controlled the close servants, and even the Grand Lieutenant could not ignore their opinions. These are the people who complicate things. ”
"I know a man who claims to have many friends in the Chamberlain. ”
"Liman, son of General Zhisu, I saw him, well, he is right, but you can't expect him to bring the whole army and let him find out what the generals of the close army really think. ”
"What kind of person is that Grand Captain?"
A smile resurfaced on Xiao Yan's face, "When the Dragon King sees him, make his own judgment." After a pause, she explained, "The Grand Captain invited all the forces of the Dragon Court to gather, and at noon the day after tomorrow, the Dragon King was also invited. ”
"Hopefully it's not a nest of exterminations. Gu Shenwei's first thought was a trap, because the close servants had already openly spoken about avenging the old Khan King, and all forces, including the Dragon King, were suspicious.
"Don't worry, the location has been carefully chosen, the Grand Lieutenant only brought a few retinues to the meeting, and the army stayed where it was, when the time comes, if the Dragon King can prove that the assassin is from Xiaoyue Hall, it will be a devastating blow to the Holy King. ”
"It's hard. Gu Shenwei witnessed the truth with his own eyes, but he knew that his words were not very convincing among the elites of the Northern Court, and he did not have any direct evidence in his hands.
"Then we have to take one step at a time. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, Xiao Yan smiled, "There is one person, the Dragon King has to meet no matter what, but she has helped you a lot." ”
Gu Shenwei's heart moved, in the camp of the Xiao Yan clan, he had not seen Shangguan Ru yet.
