Chapter 14: A Shocking Conspiracy
Looking out of the window, the sky of the grassland is pure blue, not mixed with any impurities, the sunset gradually fades, the moon stars are scarce, and the Tusi Mansion is quiet, silent.
However, in the inner chamber of the Toast Mansion, a conspiracy is unfolding.
Bala Toast reclined on the mat, two beautiful Han maids beat his legs, next to the China housekeeper and the centurion Rigude, the stove was burning, and the iron kettle was bursting with the fragrance of milk tea.
A Mongolian maid poured tea for them, Bala Toast waved his hand, the maids slowly withdrew, Bala Toast picked up the silver bowl and drank fragrant milk tea, sighed softly and read: "The golden belt is tied to the battle robe, and the horse's head rushes to the snow." Roll up the flag and rob the account at night, and slash the Hu soldiers without treasure knives. ”
This is a seven-character quatrain made by Ma Dai in the Tang Dynasty "Out of the Stopper", which indiscriminately slashes Hu Bing's lack of treasure swords. It's about the length of the battle, the fierceness of hand-to-hand combat, and the knives are cut to the point where the edge is missing, good poetry, good poetry. The steward of China praised.
Bala Tusi said: "I have been fighting all my life, fighting in the north and south, killing countless people, but I like two things, the beauty of the sword, I have the beauty, but the knife is nowhere to be found." Today, the sky is as I wish, Zhan Lu is the 'first sword in the world', the courtier and the soldier, the king according to Zhan Lu, what a spirit. Seeing Zhan Lu Dao today is our great Xinye. It's a pity that the famous knife has a master, and it doesn't belong to me. ”
Bu Ri Gude hummed and said: "What's so difficult then, kill that kid, won't the blade belong to you, the master." ”
Bala Tusi glared at him and said, "It is said that Zhanlu is a benevolent sword, and the virtuous live in it." It's all as reckless as you are, and you have no place to bury, you know. ”
The butler said: "I heard that the Zhan Lu sword is black and without a trace, but the knife of Ou Xuzi out of the sheath is snow-white, which does not match the legend. ”
Bala Toast replied with a sneer: "Legend is legend, who has seen the Zhan Lu sword black or white, but the Zhan Lu knife is like a rainbow, and the iron is like mud, and we have all seen it with our own eyes, and the Damascus scimitar broke into two knots without even touching it, what is not a treasure knife?"
The butler pondered for a moment and said: "It's not impossible for the master to want to take this knife, now Ou Xuzi and they are already drunk, as long as they send a warrior to sneak into the house quietly and raise the knife with their hands, Zhan Lu is not the master's, but ......"
Bala Toast asked, "But what?"
"Zhan Lu is the knife of benevolence, it is said that when danger comes, it will automatically jump out of the scabbard to remind the master, Lu You's "Song of Long Hatred" does not have a national revenge that has not been avenged by the strong man, and the treasure knife in the box has a sound description at night. Unless there is a restraint in things, the Damascus scimitar in our hands will not work, and we will not be able to suppress Zhanlu at all. Steward China said.
Bala Tusi's eyes lit up and said: "Unless there is a restraint, that is to say, there must be the same treasure knife to restrain Zhan Lu in order to succeed, when I invaded Fancheng with the army of the Great Khan, and got a treasure blade Yu Ge knife in the official residence of Xiangyang Commander Lu Wenhuan, what do you think?"
The Chi Na housekeeper was also excited: "Yu Ge Knife, one of the top ten Tang knives, is also a rare treasure knife, I don't know if I can restrain Zhan Lu." ”
Bu Ri Gude said impatiently on the side: "You are the elder of others to destroy their own prestige, my great Mongolian army is brave and good at fighting, invincible, what can a little Zhan Lu do, I go, I have to kill an arrogant boy." ”
Bala Tusi laughed, this reckless man can be used, the steel knife is broken in the martial arts field, and the face of the department is like ashes, and the feelings are low, but more hate. He was unwilling to accept his defeat, he was an eagle in the grassland, how could he be afraid of those weak Han people, but in fact he lost.
There is a Mongolian proverb that says that the helmsman is tested in the wind and waves, and the hero is tested in battle. Compared with Ou Xuzi, it is clear who is the hero and who is the bear, in front of many soldiers, the centurion of Rigude has lost face, can he not hate, he can't wait to break Ou Xuzi's body into thousands of pieces, in order to solve the resentment in his heart.
Now that the opportunity has come, can he not rise up without revealing it?
Bala Tusi looked at him, Bu Rigude was now lost in hatred, showing the courage of a horseman, it was far from enough, because the fear of Zhan Lu Dao in his heart had been deeply rooted, and it was necessary to use the radical method to make him fearless, and the possibility of success would increase to the maximum.
Bala Toast is insidious and cunning, playing with the heart and eyes of Rigude is for nothing, he deliberately shook his head and said: "No, grievances can't be solved with gas, fire can't be extinguished with oil, you are already a defeated general under Ou Xuzi, won't you go to death in vain." ”
Buri Gude's face turned red, and he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly: "Master, my Bu Rigude followed you to fight in the south and the north, and that time I didn't take the lead, and the blood-stained battle robe. When have you been timid, when have you retreated. I have killed countless Han Chinese and used their skulls to make drinking vessels. My master, I dare to make a military order with you, either he will die or I will die. ”
Bala Toast laughed, he picked up a bowl of milk tea and said: "You are worthy of being an eagle on the grassland, I believe in your ability, replace wine with tea, whip the golden kick, and play a triumphant song." I await the good news of your triumphant return. ”
