Kang Sumi, who was drinking alone in the tent, saw someone coming in. He thought it was a caravan man who came to serve him, so he slammed the big bowl with only the bottom of the wine in his hand on the table and shouted in a heroic voice.
But what was a bit surprising was that the caravan man who came in did not pour the wine according to his instructions. Instead, he took the mutton soup in his hand and sat down opposite Kang Sumi. He raised his head and looked at him with a smile.
"Be bold!"
Kang Sumi, who was already seventy percent drunk, saw this "guy" being so rude and even sitting in his brother's seat with such arrogance. He was immediately furious! He slapped the table and was about to get up!
Unexpectedly, before he could stand up completely, his eyes had already clearly seen the unfamiliar, but also slightly familiar face opposite him!
"You are...Tang Jian!"
Looking at Tang Jian who was sitting across from him in shock, Kang Sumi staggered and almost fell to the ground! The drunkenness on his face disappeared in an instant, leaving only the thin traces of ooze on his forehead.
Cold sweat!
Kang Sumi met Tang Jian more than once or twice!
As an old guy who can represent the Tang Dynasty and negotiate with the entire Turkic nation several times, everyone knows how special and important his identity is!
But the question is: How can such an important minister of an enemy country appear quietly on the grassland and in front of himself who holds a heavy army?
What kind of monstrous conspiracy is hidden behind this?
"General Kang Sumi, long time no see."
Facing the surprised Kang Sumi, Tang Jian still smiled like a spring breeze. He put down the mutton soup and gracefully bowed his hand to Kang Sumi, as if he was only here to meet a lifelong friend on the grassland.
Apart from that, there is no utilitarian nature involved.
It's just that, in Kang Sumi's eyes, the indifferent smile he has now is no less ferocious than the ferocious look on the face of a hungry wolf! It seems as if he can be killed in the next moment!
Kang Sumi is not a fool.
On the contrary, it is no exaggeration to say that anyone who can sit in this position is one of the best in a million!
From the first moment he saw Tang Jian, he knew that he was in trouble, a big one!
Not to mention the constant friction between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, with small-scale wars breaking out from time to time.
Even during the honeymoon period between the two countries, if a general secretly contacted an important minister of another country and word spread, it would be a shocking disaster!
"Why are you here?" Kang Sumi asked through gritted teeth, and kept glancing outside the tent, fearing that someone else would see the scene in the tent.
Seeing that he was so careful, Tang Jian smiled knowingly and said: "Don't worry, General, your followers are all drunk now, and even your brother will be taken to see a treasure by people from the caravan when it's convenient.
No one will come here for the time being, so you don’t have to worry about others finding me here."
"Oh, really!"
When Kang Sumi heard Tang Jian's confident words, his anxiety calmed down a little.
He slowly sat back down, stared at Tang Jian coldly with his narrow eyes, and said almost word by word: "You are so brave, you actually ran here like this, you are not afraid of me catching you.
, send it to the Khan for reward?"
"I believe that the general would not do this." Facing Kang Sumi's razor-like eyes, Tang Jian still looked as normal, with no hint of nervousness.
Kang Sumi seemed to be annoyed by Tang Jian's attitude. He clenched his fists little by little and asked with a sneer: "Why do you believe it?"
Tang Jian chuckled lightly, picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine, then pushed the wine bowl to Kang Sumi, making a gesture of inviting him, and said sincerely: "General, why do you ask questions knowingly? I just have a shoulder that I can't carry, and my hands can't carry it."
Literary scholar, even if you send me to Jieli Khan, I will most likely be redeemed by the Tang Dynasty.
And you, with Jieli Khan’s suspicious character, you will most likely not be able to get the reward. It’s hard to say whether you can even keep your position as general! You are a smart person, you won’t do this, right?
"
Tang Jian was talking eloquently, but Kang Sumi's face was uncertain. A pair of eyes that were slightly red due to alcohol were staring at Tang Jian!
He knew that what Tang Jian said was true! Once Xie Li knew that Tang Jian had traveled thousands of miles to find him, no matter what he did, even if he handed Tang Jian over, he would not be able to dispel Xie Li's suspicion!
"Tang Jian, before I want to kill you, get out of here quickly! Just pretend you've never been here before!"
After thinking over and over again, Kang Sumi decisively issued the eviction order. He didn't even want to know why Tang Jian came to him now, he just wanted to escape from this dilemma.
However, in the face of Kang Sumi's rebellion, Tang Jian had no intention of getting up.
He sat on the smooth fur, crossed his fingers with both hands, and looked at Kang Sumi seriously: "Believe me, you won't kill me!"
"Well, you want to give it a try?" Facing Tang Jian, who had no food and salt, Kang Sumi's eyes were fierce!
He firmly believed that with his own skills, with just one punch, the head of the little old man in front of him would explode!
Facing the surging murderous aura that came towards him, Tang Jian shook his head and said in a normal tone: "Let's try it or forget it. General, you can kill me with just one hand! But you should also know that no matter whether I live or die, you can kill me."
Death, for you at this time, whenever you encounter it, it is a huge disaster!
General, I won’t gossip. To tell you the truth, I came specifically for you this time! I originally thought I would go to the king’s tent to meet you in two days, but unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, we got to know you.
I fell in love with your nephew, and ended up meeting you here. Perhaps, this is also the guidance given to me by Changshengtian!"
"Wulihan!" The fierce light in Kang Sumi's eyes gradually subsided, and he admitted that what Tang Jian said was right.
The little old man in front of him was just a piece of poisoned dog skin plaster. No matter who got it, he would be in trouble! What made him even more depressed was that this plaster was sent by his own nephew! If the time could come again, he would be out of luck today.
I will definitely knock my nephew out with a stick in the morning to save him from trying to trick my uncle again!
"Why did you come to me? Tell me quickly, and leave quickly after you finish speaking!" Kang Sumi's throat was a little dry and hoarse. After hesitating, Kang Sumi drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and stared at Tang Jian.
Tang Jian laughed and continued pouring wine.
As the first diplomat of the Tang Dynasty, his grasp of people's hearts was abnormal! Seeing that Kang Sumi was already showing signs of loosening, he was no longer in a hurry to tell the whole story. Instead, he picked up some anecdotes from the journey to adjust the atmosphere.
Kang Sumi was patient at first, thinking that after hearing what had happened, she would quickly get rid of this piece of dog-skin plaster.
But Tang Jian turned his head to the east and then to the west, and said nonsense, which made Kang Sumi's suppressed anger show signs of rekindling.
