"The special service has an order, pass it on to the divination!" The red-cloaked guards standing outside the door passed the order one after another. After two bowls of wine, a young man with a handsome face and a bit of fear on his face appeared.
He was brought in by the guards.
"I have met Mr. Queyu, but I don't know what your orders are for Mr. Queyu to find the younger one!" The young man named Hebulan bowed and saluted, and asked timidly. His Turkic language was extremely stiff and sounded completely complete.
It is translated word by word from Chinese.
"You can say in Chinese that this friend of mine is one of your tribesmen and you want to know what has happened in the Central Plains recently!" Ashina Choyu shook his head and pointed at Li Xu to give orders to Hebu Lan.
"Yes, I obey you!" He Bulan made a long bow and replied. As soon as he switched to Chinese, his speech became clear immediately. He listed the virtues of the Sui Emperor in the past year one by one, and his tone was still good at first.
He remained calm, but later on, his voice became louder and louder, his eyes turned red, and he felt so angry that he wanted to draw a knife and fight with others desperately.
It turns out that His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor inspected his family's civil and military skills and found that they were not as good as the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty in martial arts, so he decided to defeat Goryeo in his lifetime. Starting from last year, the border areas have successively recruited soldiers. As long as they are men, regardless of whether they are scholars, peasants, merchants, or only sons.
Son-in-law, anyone under the age of forty-five needs to enlist in the army. Armor and weapons must be prepared by oneself, and the government will ignore them. Some people are clearly over forty-five years old, and they have been forced into the army by unscrupulous officials. Some people
Anyone under the age of fifteen, as long as the family has no money, is also included in the military roster.
As a result, many people were bankrupted in order to manage the government. Some people had to leave their homes to avoid military service.
Li Xu knew all this, so he was not surprised by it. But He Bulan's next words made his jaw drop to the ground. "The Holy One has conscripted 1.3 million troops, and the people must be strong and uniform."
There are three million corvees. Anyone who escapes or fails to report to the army after the deadline will be guilty of robbery. Many people are late on their way and end up in jail without knowing it before they reach the army!"
"Ah!" Li Xu opened his mouth, feeling the alcohol all over his body welling up in his head. This time he decided to return south, and his plan was to use the property in his hands to bribe the government and find an opportunity to cross himself off the conscription list. If that didn't work, he would
Joining the army and killing enemies, maybe you can get some fame with your current skills. But I didn't expect that before I entered the Great Wall, I had already become a criminal in the imperial court. It is the same crime as robbery. I have grown so big, how can I take someone else's needle and thread?
?!
Li Xu tried his best to look at Xu Dayan opposite him. Li Xu hoped that he could think of a good idea at this moment. As far as he could see, he saw a bright white saliva dripping from the corner of Brother Xu's mouth to the short table. The singer sitting next to him
Ji frowned, looking indescribably bored.
"The war hasn't started yet, but the news has already spread to the grassland. In my opinion, it's better for you not to go back. Although you two are heroes, what good results can you get by following such a bastard emperor?!"
Seeing Li Xu's blank eyes, Ashina Queyu took the opportunity to put forward his own suggestions.
He has a family that he can't return to, and Su Chuobu can't stay. Do he really want to live with this treacherous Ashina Choyu? Li Xu felt dizzy and had countless thoughts in his mind, but none of them could stand it.
Consider.
"The Su Chui tribe only has ten thousand people, so how can we retain heroes like you? Follow me, Ashina Choyu can guarantee that you two will gain fame and wealth at your fingertips. As for women and horses, whichever one you like, I will tell you immediately
Get it for you!" Ashina Choyu persuaded with a slightly drunken smile.
"I just wanted Tao Kuo to take off his silk, but you took him away!" Li Xu screamed in his heart, and a feeling of disgust rushed to his forehead. 'I don't need you to pretend to be a good person, I can't bear your favor!
' Waves of alcohol hit his throat like a tidal wave. He stood up with a sad smile, grabbed a wine bag and poured it down his throat.
Almost all the setbacks he suffered in the Su Chuan tribe were related to the man named Que Yu in front of him, but this man still smiled candidly. Li Xu knew that he did not have the power to retaliate against Que Yu, and he also knew that if he refused, he would probably lose his life.
The Jie Feng Wine immediately turned into a Hongmen Banquet. He didn't want to talk, so he poured the mare's kumiss into his stomach.
"Brother Fu Li has a good drinker. The matter of staying in our department is of great importance. You can discuss it with your friends and answer me in a few days. In fact, you Central Plains people have a saying that says, why should a man be without a wife..."
With Queyu's wisdom and experience, how could he not guess a young man's thoughts? He smiled and comforted in a low voice.
"Uh!" Li Xu leaned forward and tried his best to endure it again and again before suppressing the drink that surged into his throat. This taste was definitely not pleasant. In an instant, his tears, snot, and saliva were all flowing down at the same time.
came out.
"Master Fuli is drunk!" Several generals under Queyu's tent said with a smile. Turks always drink without lying down, and a drunk man is a sign of boldness in their eyes. So not only do they not feel Xu,
The two of them lost their composure, but thought that the two young men were straightforward and worthy of friendship.
"Master Queyu, can you really give me any woman?" Li Xu stood up unsteadily, wiped the snot and tears from his face, and asked loudly.
"Okay, except for the two of them!" Ashina Queyu pointed at Lvzhu and Yanluo and said with a smile: "Little brother, I know what you are thinking. In a few years, you will find out that, in fact, this matter
It’s nothing!”
"I'm afraid, you were the only one who was responsible from the beginning to the end!" Li Xu's drunken eyes flashed with a hint of anger. With the power of the Turkic Khanate, even if he went back on his word after the engagement, I am afraid that the insulted Su Chuobu would only be able to
After swallowing his anger, he shook his head and put his mouth to the wine bag again.
"Pa!" The horsehide wine bag fell on the carpet, and the wine splashed everywhere. Li Xu reached out to pick it up, but just as he bent down, his knees gave way, and his whole body fell into the arms of the singer named Luzhu beside him.
.
"Coax!" The generals roared with laughter. Although they were not very good at drinking, they tried their best to show off their ability to drink. When they were seventeen or eighteen years old, they also made the same mistake.
"I'm drunk. I offended Kehe Dun. Please forgive me, Queyu Khan!" Li Xu struggled to leave Lvzhu's arms and apologized to Ashina Queyu.
The Turk king is usually called the Great Khan, and the Khan's wife is called Kehe Dun. However, his country does not have as strict an official hierarchy as in the Central Plains. Anyone with a tribe can be called a Khan or a small Khan, and his wife is
It can also be called Kehe Dun. Ashina Choyu is the younger brother of the Great Khan, and has more than a dozen tribes under his jurisdiction. It is not a bad idea to call him Khan. But Luzhu is just a singer who came as tribute from Goryeo.
According to Ke He Dun, his status was not even close to that of Ke He Dun. At this moment, when he heard Li Xu calling himself Ke He Dun, he laughed so hard that his branches trembled with laughter. He snatched the wine bag from the young man's hand and shouted at Que Yu: "Special Qin"
, let this child rest. After running such a long distance continuously, no matter how strong a person is, he will no longer have the strength!"
"Come here, invite the distinguished guests to rest in the tent!" Ashina Choyu was also in a very happy mood, clapped his hands and ordered.
Immediately, four female slaves ran in, working in pairs, and put the arms of Xu and Li on their shoulders. Ashina Queyu looked around and ordered loudly: "Hebu Lan, you are in charge."
Greet these two distinguished guests, if they are dissatisfied with anything, look at your butt!"
"Yes!" The young man called Hebu Lan shivered in fright, quickly bowed, and quickly chased after him. While chasing, he complained in his heart that God was really unfair to him. He was also a Han from Zhongyuan.
, he was a guest, how could he become a slave outside the tent?
Ashina Queyu watched as Xu and Li disappeared and slowly returned to their seats. After a night of testing, he had roughly figured out the details of Xu and Li. The boy named Fu Li
It is easy to deal with him. He is a young man who has just left home and has not yet learned to hide his motives. Although he is resentful of himself because of a woman, it is not too difficult to get over this problem. Some of the Turkic royal courts paid tribute from neighboring tribes or countries.
The beauties who came. With those charming women, he could quickly forget about Su Chuan's young son. What was more embarrassing was the big-eyed young man named Xu. His words were so cloudy that he couldn't understand a word
No matter what sentence is true, which sentence is false, but it can attract people's interest. At the critical moment, he pretends to be stupid under the influence of drunkenness, and does not answer his invitation directly. This kind of person is like an alert wild horse, and it is difficult not to spend some effort.
Tame him. But if you tame him, I'm afraid you can carry him and gallop thousands of miles.
Thinking of the words "Queyu Khan" that Li Xu blurted out when he was drunk, Ashina Queyu felt a smile in his heart. Qimin Khan was weak and his son was also confused...
"Pass my order, whatever the distinguished guest wants in the past two days, I will try my best to satisfy him!" Queyu's voice sounded in the big tent again, arousing countless pairs of jealous eyes.
"Sir Secret Service, we are doing it for these two idiots..." Little Burke stood up and protested loudly. He had a good impression of Li Xu, but when he saw Ashina Queyu respecting the two foreign youths so much, he still felt very sad.
feel bad.
"You think this design is not worth the effort, right?" Ashina Choyu sat up straight, looked at little Burke Bilian, and asked.
"Reporting to Que Yushe, subordinate, I do mean this!" Little Burke hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully. His words aroused a lot of discussion, and the civil servants and generals drank too much, so
I also became very courageous.
"Sit down and drink up the wine bag next to you in one go. Come and supervise Mr. Burke. He is not allowed to spill a drop, nor is he allowed to stop to eat meat!" Ashina said.
Yu smiled and ordered loudly.
Several generals laughed loudly and stood next to young Burke to supervise the drinking. Little Burke did not dare to "disobey", so he sat up straight, picked up a wine bag and started drinking.
"Who else among you thinks that this design attaches too much importance to two idiots!" Ashina Choyu drank a bowl of wine by himself and asked everyone with a smile.
Without saying a word, several civil officials headed by Damelu Pei Ligulu picked up the wine bag next to their seat and poured it down with their throats in their throats. Seeing everyone like this, Ashina Queyu did not say anything to stop him. He waited for everyone to stop him.
After emptying the bags in his hands, he slowly ate a piece of mutton back meat and asked with a smile: "At this time last year, I asked you whether Suotouxi would be driven away by the people after they migrated to Crescent Lake, or would they
How did you answer me when I drove away the people?"
All the civil and military officials fell silent immediately, and several officials who were trying to untie the wine bags to join in the fun quietly tied the leather ropes back to their original places. Last year, the Turkic Khanate seized the Suotou Xi people's pasture, and everyone thought that Xi people had moved north.
The people will beat the tribes of the Xi tribe into despair and flee. The population of the Suotou Xi tribe is three times that of the Suchu tribe, and the number of people who can fight with bows is more than the number of young and strong tribes of the Yueya Lake combined.
This was originally a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, but in the end the tiger was swallowed up by the wolf. Everyone took into account the strength of the two warring parties and also expected that the nominal leader of the people, Zhi Shibahan, would choose to stay put. The only thing they didn't expect was that
The variables are two Han boys and a wolf.
"Two young boys, what they gain is life, what they lose is death. Sirs, do you still think that this setting is made out of a molehill?" Ashina Choyu smiled, and his voice echoed in the big cowhide tent. (To be continued)
