Chapter 3 Frost Blade (Part 8)

Chapter 3 Frost Blade (Part 8)

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"I will eventually take advantage of the scammers!"

The left commander Gayasi, the right commander Zabier, the young Burke Aliyi, Aimin and others all asked for orders, lest they fall behind others. Seeing that everyone was united, the butler Mu Yangren was directing the servants to serve tea and water.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed his head to the ground in front of Ju Chebi, "Great Khan, I am also willing to lead my brothers as a vanguard to explore the reality of the Tang camp for the Great Khan!"

"You...?" Ju Chebishi originally left this person as a housekeeper because he was interested in the other party's identity as a Tang Dynasty so that someone could come forward to bargain for him in the enemy camp at a critical moment. Now that he has a chance to win, his original preparations are obvious.

It was a bit redundant. So he pondered for a moment and then agreed with a smile, "Okay, you take all the brothers under your command and follow me in a while. But this time, if you dare to escape from the battle again, don't

Blame Ben Khan for being so ruthless!"

"This villain is willing to go through fire and water for the Great Khan!" Mu Yangren bowed deeply again, as if he could gain great benefits.

His performance was so positive that others could not help but feel suspicious. Especially Prime Minister Bai Shaer, a leader of the Tianfang Sect, who had never believed in the loyalty of the fake Taoist Mu Yangren from the beginning, and now he was even more wary.

Immediately, he frowned and stepped forward to stop him: "Hang on, wait a minute. I'm afraid there is some fraud in what happened tonight!"

"What?" Ju Cheshi was stunned and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Are you saying that Ben Khan has been tricked by the enemy again?"

"Your Majesty, you don't dare." Baishaer bowed slightly and spoke politely, but his demeanor and behavior were completely different. "My Majesty, I just have a few questions. If you clarify them, it won't take too long!"

As he spoke, he ignored Juchebishi's attitude and turned directly to Fahad and Fedil, the two wimps who "came back" from the enemy camp, "You two, repeat what you just said?

How did the racecourse get lost? My brothers all died in the battle, why did you two survive?!"

"It's Mimok who insists on taking the initiative. We can't stop him!"

"It's not like they were all dead, there were still many people captured. The two of us fought hard, until..." Fahad and Fedil were originally very afraid of Baishar, and they treated each other like a knife.

Under his gaze, his voice became softer and quieter, until finally it was almost inaudible.

"Tell me again?!" Baishaer's face was gloomy, his teeth flashing coldly under the light, "How were you two captured? How did you escape from Tang Camp?"

Hearing the same question again and again, the generals were shocked, and the eyes they looked at Fahad and Fedil were immediately full of contempt. They were captured with all their strength, and then came out of the Tang camp in a bloody battle. Even Zhe Zhe

Chabier, who is recognized as the best player in the city, was probably slashed with bloody wounds all over his body. But these two guys in front of him didn't even have a trace of blood on their bodies. How could they really be killed back from the Tang camp?

"We, we..." Fahad and Fedil lay on the ground shaking like chaff under everyone's dagger-like gazes, "We really tried our best. It's Mimok, it's Mimoko."

All the brothers who could fight were killed. We, the two of us..."

"Two losers!" Before the two of them could finish speaking, Zuo Shuai Gayaxi rushed forward and kicked them one by one, turning them into rolling gourds. "Have you seen clearly the real situation in Tangying? Hurry up and tell me

, otherwise I will chop you into pieces with my own hands!"

"See clearly, see clearly, indeed most of the tents are empty!" Fahad and Fedil cried in response as if they were grasping a life-saving straw. "We, we looked through it one after another.

There are more than a dozen tents. We tried our best, tried our best!"

"The Great Khan. The last general requested to lead the troops and horses out of the city to set up camp!" Zuo Shuaijia was angry and ashamed. He turned his head and asked Ju Chebi again for the tassel.

"Hmm...?" Juchebishi frowned, with a very hesitant expression on his face. He originally didn't believe that Fahad and Fedil could fight the Tang army to the end, but he just felt that the enemy's strength was greatly reduced by this.

The two guys found out, and the rest were just minutiae, not worth delving into. However, as Baishaer pressed for details later, he gradually lost confidence in the words of the two wimps. At this moment, he realized that Zuo Shuai Gayasi was still trying to

Protecting the two of them, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart. Just as I was about to agree to the other party's request and let Gayaxi go find his own death, he unexpectedly heard Mu Yangren shouting from the side, "Let's go as a villain.

.Commander Zuo is a rich man and cannot take risks easily. He is a villain, but he was destined to die. Thanks to the trust of the Great Khan, he is as successful as he is today. If he can find out whether the Tang camp is true or not, even if he dies,

It’s worth it!”

"You..." Juchebishi couldn't help but look Mu Yangren up and down, and his heart was filled with waves.

Compared with Gayaxi's arrogance and domineering, Mu Yangren's thin face looked particularly sincere at this moment, "The great Khan has given me the kindness of knowing him, and I have never been able to repay him. Since the enemy's situation is unknown tonight, I am willing to

I risk my life to find out the true result for the Great Khan!"

"How dare you, a Kafir, argue with me?" Gayasi pushed Mu Yangren away, and his scolding voice contained not only anger, but also a faint sense of relaxation. (Note 1)

"You, a native of the Tang Dynasty, were afraid that you would not be able to get the credit before. How can you now be sure that you will die in the Tang camp?!" Prime Minister Bai Shaer held Mu Yangren in his arms, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Little man, little man!" Mu Yangren first saluted Bai Shaer, and then lowered his head in response, "The little man did, indeed, want to take the credit. But after the Prime Minister's reminder, the little man

People suddenly understood that the Tang army had most likely dug a trap outside the city for us to jump into. So, the villain wanted to risk his life..."

"Okay!" Baishar waved his hand in disgust, interrupting Mu Yangren's confession. Although the military information brought back by Fahad and Fedil had numerous flaws, the Tang Taoist priest in front of him may not have any good intentions. "

The point is, I just thought it was too easy for Fahad and Fedil to escape from the Tang camp, so why did you decide that there was a trap outside?"

"Young man, have you also been reminded by the Prime Minister?" Mu Yangren wiped the corners of his eyes, his face full of aggrievement, "Both of them have no injuries at all, they can't have broken out from Tangying.

If anyone can escape easily, there are many brothers who were captured, why didn’t we see the third one?"

"That's right. Why didn't you see the third one? These two guys are so lucky!" After listening to Mu Yangren's words, even the generals who were most eager to make meritorious deeds decided in their hearts that Fahad and Fedil had brought back

It was a piece of false information. No one was willing to mention it when they left the city for a decisive battle. Instead, they all stared at Gayasi to see how he could protect two losers.

Everyone was so angry that they saw him. Gayasi caught up half a step further and grabbed Mu Yangren by the collar. "If others can't escape, don't they think they can't escape? If the Tang army doesn't have enough people,

Of course there will be oversights during the night patrol!”

These words were already arrogant. Everyone who heard this frowned slightly. Mu Yangren did not confront the opponent, but stretched out his hand, first slowly peeled off Gayaxi's fingers from his clothes, and then straightened them.

Adjusting his long robe, he said loudly: "There is a saying in the art of war. If something is empty, it will be true, and if something is true, it will be false. If something is false, it will be true. If something is true, it will be false. A good soldier will use my true strength to attack the other's falsehood, just like breaking a bamboo to crush an egg. Everything will happen.

Destroyed!"

A few words that every blind storyteller in a teahouse in the Central Plains could recite fluently. But hearing this made everyone present's eyes widen, and Mu Yangren immediately became extremely tall in their sight.

Mu Yangren, however, didn't know how to stop when he saw good things. He clasped his hands behind his back and continued to recite loudly, "I may show it as false and show it as true;

Or it may be true and true, so that the enemy will suspect that I am false..."

No matter how good Ju Chebishi's Tang Yan skills were, he was completely stunned by it. After mumbling for a long time, he interrupted in a low voice, "Mu, Mu, you mean that Tang Jun deliberately passed these two guys

They leaked the information to me and tricked me into going out to fight them?!"

"That's not necessarily the case!" The key to deception is to master the heat. For Mu Yangren, who comes from a different background, he is very familiar with it. "Soldiers have no fixed pattern, and water has no constant shape. Everything changes, but it is all in one mind. The enemy may be

There were too many soldiers, so they deliberately showed weakness and coaxed the Great Khan into setting out for a decisive battle. But it is also possible that they had insufficient troops and deliberately told the Great Khan the truth, misleading the Great Khan and making him think they had set a trap outside the city."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Gayaxi was dizzy, rushed over, and yelled at Mu Yangren. "You have said everything, but you have not made anything clear. What on earth do you want to do, Kafir?"

"I just want to muddy the water!" Mu Yangren cursed in his heart, but continued to talk nonsense, "Otherwise, at least we can infer that the so-called figure of 600 Tang troops must be false! These two generals,

It was also deliberately brought back by Tang Ying." As he spoke, he pointed his hand at the useless bodies of Fahad and Fedil, "If you don't believe me, ask them if they didn't encounter any obstacles on their way back?!"

"Yes, we did not encounter any obstacles!" Without waiting for others to ask questions, Fahad and Fedil confessed first, so as not to completely anger Ju Chebishi and end up losing their lives.

"Then, did you overhear the news about the lack of troops in the Tang army, instead of getting it out of the guards' mouths as you said before?" Mu Yangren's heart suddenly shuddered, he knelt down and continued to ask pleasantly.

.

"Yes, that's the case. Sir, you are so, so clever!" In the eyes of Farhad and Fedil, the housekeeper is a living god, and they would not dare to deceive with lies under any circumstances.

"Look..." Mu Yangren stood up and gently spread his hands towards everyone.

All the generals were completely convinced and never dared to mention the word city again. Only Zuo Shuai Gaya Xi was still unwilling to give in. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "That doesn't prove that the Tang Dynasty has indeed dug a trap for me to exploit.

Mu, didn’t you just take the initiative to invite me to visit the camp? Do you still dare to go with me now?!"

"Of course I dare!" Mu Yangren was now a little unsure about what Tang Jun wanted to do outside. He frowned and responded bravely. "But now Mu has come up with a more secure idea. You can find out without leaving the city.

Answer!"

"Then you haven't said it yet!" Lest Gayasi continue to mess around, Prime Minister Baishar took the lead and ordered with a stern face.

"This..." Mu Yangren turned to look at Ju Chebishi, looking very reluctant.

"The Prime Minister's order is the order of this Khan!" Juche Bishi was very unhappy in his heart, but he acted quite generous. "After all, there are no outsiders here. If your strategy works, I will reward you."

You deserve an official position!"

"Thank you, Khan, for being your housekeeper. I am very satisfied!" Mu Yangren was neither arrogant nor impatient. He thanked Ju Chebishi for his appreciation first, and then said slowly, "Actually, the reason is very simple. If

If there is an ambush outside, it is impossible that there will be no movement at all. We might as well go to the city wall and wait and see before deciding whether to leave the city!"

"Well, that's a way. Everyone is up anyway, why not go for a walk on the city wall with Ben Khan!" Ju Chebi Shi felt that it was necessary to support Mu Yangren, nodded, and spoke first.

Now that the Great Khan had spoken, everyone had no choice but to obey. Immediately, the soldiers brought their war horses and gathered a group of civil and military personnel to the east tower. They picked up lanterns and torches and shone them back and forth. It made their eyes sore.

Outside is still a quiet camp, as if it were made of clay, without any change.

"This is your clever plan. What can you tell?" Zuo Shuai Gayaxi immediately became more energetic and shouted at Mu Yangren in a low voice.

Mu Yangren was also murmuring in his heart. He didn't know whether he had helped the Tang army outside today, or whether he had accidentally exposed the other party's plan. He hesitated for a long time with a frown on his face, and finally thought about it.

Heng, decided to first preserve the tall image he had worked hard to build in front of Ju Chebishi, "If they didn't deliberately deceive us, but really leaked the military information. If they find out that the two generals have escaped, they will definitely evacuate overnight.

By then, if we ride our horses to catch up, we will definitely be in time. Besides..."

Before he finished his sentence, there was a sudden loud noise in the sky. Thousands of jackdaws screamed and flew from three directions: south, west and north of the city, passing over Zhezhe City and piercing into the houses.

go.

Unless they are suddenly frightened, birds will not fly around at night. To be able to scare so many jackdaws in three directions at the same time must be that a large number of enemy troops are sneaking around. At that moment, all the generals' faces were as white as snow, and there were red spots on their foreheads.

A layer of cold sweat.

If everyone had really left the city to rob the camp just now, they would probably not be able to come back.

Looking at Zuo Shuai Gayaxi again, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head. He drew out the scimitar from his waist and struck hard at his brother-in-law Fediler: "You loser, what's the use of living..."

"Ah!" Federer had no time to dodge, and his head was suddenly missing. The bloody head rolled down the horse path, and his round eyes stared all the way.

"And you useless piece of shit, take my knife!" The left commander Gayasi refused to do anything and continued to chase Fahad with his knife and chop him randomly. When the right commander Zhabir saw this, he rushed forward and hugged his arm.

, "That's enough. It's up to the Khan to decide what to do with them! What are you doing with the knife?"

"Get out of the way and let me kill this loser!" Zuo Shuai Gayasi struggled back and forth, refusing to give in. If Federer had leaked the news about the Khan's treasure to the Tang Dynasty, Fahad must have been present at the time. So.

No matter what, he cannot be allowed to live any longer, otherwise, once Tang Jun steals the treasure, he will definitely be implicated.

But these reasons can only be thought in the mind, but they cannot be expressed in the mouth. In the blink of an eye, the generals such as Little Burke Aliyi, Amin and others also stepped forward and forcefully snatched the knife from Gayasi's hand.

"Why don't you quickly apologize to the Great Khan?" Baishaer hated the iron, so he stepped forward and kicked the press a few times, hinting quietly with his eyes.

As if having a nightmare, Zuo Shuai Gayaxi suddenly came back to his senses. He broke away from everyone and walked quickly to Juche Bishi, "Khan, the general just..."

"Just kill him!" Ju Chebi Shi glanced at him and responded with a sneer, "If you don't kill him, I won't let him survive tonight. Go and chop the other one for me.

This place is an eyesore!" After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Zuo Shuai Gayasi was told that he could neither stand nor walk. He blushed and froze on the spot. After a long while, he turned around and shouted at his cronies, "What are you doing? Go and get the law."

Kill Harder for me. Put his head on the wall for public display. Anyone who dares to surrender without a fight will suffer like this!"

"Yes!" The guards weakly agreed and turned around to carry out the order. Fahad, who was paralyzed with fear, knew that he was in doom and immediately complained loudly at the top of his voice, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged. It's General Feiyele.

It’s so sweaty, ah!”

Before he could tell the truth, his throat had been cut by Gayasi himself. After doing all this, the latter felt that he could not forgive his hatred, and turned around to find trouble with the fake Taoist Mu Yangren. Who would have expected?

The crowd looked around for a long time, but didn't even see the shadow of the fake Taoist priest. While they were angry, they heard the Prime Minister Bai Shaer curse in a low voice, "You idiot who eats grass. What are you looking for? I have followed the Khan back."

The palace has gone. From now on, please remember not to offend him. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being able to protect you!"

"This..." Gayaxi was stunned on the spot again. For a long time, he still couldn't figure out why the prime minister didn't allow him to cause trouble to Mu Yangren again. It was the right commander Chabier who was smart, seeing that Gayaxi was full of hair.

Wu Shui looked pitiful, and stepped forward, reminding him in a low voice: "After tonight, that Tang man will definitely turn red and purple in Da Khan's eyes. The more anxious you are to pull him down, the more counterproductive it may be. It's better to

Let’s wait for a while and wait for the Great Khan to deal with the immediate crisis. By then, can he, an outsider with no foundation, still be able to fight against us old people?”

"Yes." Knowing that the right commander Zabil may not have any good intentions, Gayasi could only nod. Then he put his hands on the city wall and stared at the palace. He couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought.

So what magic trick did Kafir use to predict everything clearly?

Not only was he confused, but everyone who had witnessed the whole thing tonight looked at the fake Taoist priest with reverence in their eyes. Especially the guards around Juchebishi, who simply looked down upon Mu Yangren.

As if he were a god, he didn't dare to ride alongside him when he was riding a horse. He only dared to follow cautiously behind him.

The fake Taoist priest Mu Yangren didn't care how many admiring looks he had behind his back. What he hoped most now was that he had not accidentally ruined the Tang Army's important event. However, in just half a stick of incense, he felt relieved. Chapter 2

First, the Tang army outside the city must not know that he did it. Second, if the Tang army cannot capture Zhezhe City, with tonight's contribution, I can win a place in front of Juche Bishi, which is better than being the king of the mountain.

hundred times.

Thinking of this, he knocked his mount more carefully, fearing that if he was not careful, he would be left behind by Ju Che Bishi and forget his promise to be promoted to an official tonight.

Of course, Juche Bishi would not forget how much "contribution" Mu Yangren made tonight, but he felt very uncomfortable because of the performance of Gayaxi and others, and was too lazy to think about other things for a while. He walked in silence for a while,

He suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, turned around, and asked in a low voice: "Did you really want to go out to inquire about the enemy tonight?"

"Ah!" Mu Yangren had no time to slow down his horse and almost fell off his mount. After struggling for a few times, he responded breathlessly: "Thank you, the Great Khan. The loyalty of this villain to the Great Khan is worth the sun and the moon in the sky."

You can see me!"

"Really?" As if he couldn't believe his ears, Ju Chebishi stopped his mount and stared into Mu Yangren's eyes for confirmation.

"Totally true! You can swear to any god!" This time, Mu Yangren was prepared and answered quickly and solemnly.

Ju Chebishi's eyes remained unblinking until Mu Yangren's scalp went numb, then he looked away and sighed: "I didn't expect that you, a Tang Dynasty person, would be the most loyal to me. Alas,

I have spent half my life, but I didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect..."

"It is precisely because my subordinates are from the Tang Dynasty that they are loyal to the Great Khan!" Mu Yangren straightened his chest and responded, guessing that Juche Bishi did not say what Lai wanted to express.

"Oh?" Ju Chebishi's eyes suddenly flashed, he gently knocked the horse's belly, and continued to move forward, "Follow, come with me!"

"I don't dare!" Mu Yangren responded in a low voice, mobilizing his mount and maintaining a gap of half a horse's head with Ju Chebishi.

This action made Ju Shi sigh with emotion. He shook his head and sighed for a long time, then turned his head sideways and asked with a smile: "Why?"

"This issue is a bit complicated. I can't explain it in one or two sentences!"

"Tell me? Ben Khan won't be able to sleep tonight anyway!"

"This..." Unable to resist Juchebishi's questioning, Mu Yangren concluded awkwardly, "We Tang people may not believe in any god or follow any teachings. But in our hearts, we take our own personality very seriously.

Importantly, the important thing is "If people treat me as a countryman, I will repay them as a countryman. The Great Khan does not think that I am a horse thief. Rewarding me to be your steward is tantamount to treating me as a human being. Of course I,

Of course, like a human being..."

A few words, half written and half white, but Ju Chebishi nodded frequently. As the leader of a country, the thing that has made him most uneasy in the past two years is not the Tang army that may come back at any time, but the Vietnamese in Zhezhe City.

The growing religious power was like a mountain, pressing closer and closer to his head. It made him unable to breathe, unable to move, and even standing upright to speak became increasingly difficult.

If you must be a puppet, what does it matter which company you are a puppet for? At least, you can live a more dignified and human-like life by being a puppet for Datang!

Thinking of this, Juche Bishi couldn't help laughing loudly, as if he suddenly realized something, and he galloped through the midnight street with a long smile.

The laughter was like crying, and the jackdaws that had just fallen were so frightened that they flew up again, "quacking, quacking, quacking", and filled the entire night sky.

Note 1: Kafir, pagan.
