Nazha looked angry, but seemed to know that bickering was no match for Li Mu, so she turned her head to the side, not looking at him or paying attention to him.
Li Yuan saw her and said, "Li Mu, she is my granddaughter, how can she still harm me? Get up and sit down."
Li Mu thought to himself, old man, you are a little too confident. Other people's granddaughters may not be able to, but your family's... it's hard to say. But he couldn't say these words. Now that Li Yuan has spoken, he sees
After looking at Nazha, he stood up and moved Jindun, who was sitting just now, over, still standing between the two of them.
Li Yuan knew that he meant well and didn't say anything. He looked at Nazha and asked, "My child, how have you been doing these years? Where is your mother?"
"Dead."
Nazha said the word firmly, her tone and attitude still stubborn. Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. Thinking that Li Jiancheng was also dead, his heart ached. When he looked at Nazha again, he felt a little more pity. This child, his parents
All gone...
"Li Mu said, you just assassinated Jie Li, did your mother die in his hands?"
Nazha did not answer directly. She looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Can you help me get revenge?"
Li Yuan was silent for a long time, then opened his mouth and said: "No."
Nazha closed her mouth tightly, as if she didn't want to waste any more words, and her eyes when she looked at Li Yuan changed from soft to indifferent.
"Jie Li has already surrendered. To kill him is to be called unkind. Since ancient times, the two countries have been fighting each other. If they surrender, the fighting will stop. If we were on the battlefield, we would kill him. But since he has surrendered, we cannot kill him. And now I
I'm not the emperor, so I can't promise you."
Nazha still didn't speak. Li Yuan sighed and showed a look of shame. Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "You are so unreasonable. Who owes you money? Why should I avenge you? You have
Can you go by yourself?"
When Nazha heard this, she immediately glared at Li Mu and said, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him!"
"Oh, you are so righteous!" Li Mu stared at Nazha and said: "Excuse me, why can't we stop it? Today is the opening of Heaven and Earth. We are hosting a banquet. If someone casually kills someone, can the business be done? What's in your head?
What are you thinking about? Besides, no one knows about your intention to assassinate Jie Li. Even if you tell me in advance or tell me your identity, I might be able to help you. It would be better for you to get a clue.
Hairpin, you prick someone’s neck when you meet them. Have you heard too many stories? You need to have a picture when you see someone, if you stretch out your hand and prick them, you can achieve something strange!"
Nazha was so rebuffed that she couldn't answer anything. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Li Mu say again: "Don't rely on anyone! Think about it, who is stopping you? You clearly can't hit a single blow, and you are pinned down by others.
On the ground, okay? If I hadn't brought someone over and left you here, you would have fallen into Jie Li's hands and your skin would have been peeled off by now. Believe it or not? I am clearly your savior! You still stare at me? Bite me.
?Tell it yourself, are you heartless?"
"I..." Nazha felt a little guilty when Li Mu said this. Li Mu was absolutely right. The failure of the assassination tonight had nothing to do with anyone else.
Seeing that her attitude finally softened, Li Mu quickly continued: "No matter why you want to kill someone, since you want others to help, you have to tell a reason? Killing someone is not killing a chicken. There is no reason or reason. How can you
Why do you think others should help you?"
Nazha was left speechless by the question. She stared at Li Mu for a while, lowered her head and rubbed the bruises on her wrists, and finally said: "I hate daddy, I hate Jieli, they are all bad people, they all deserve to die!"
Li Yuan's expression moved slightly. He wanted to say a few words for Li Jiancheng, but thinking about what happened back then, and from Nazha's perspective, it was normal to hate Li Jiancheng.
"He sent my mother and I back to the Turks, but grandpa was no longer here. As my grandpa's daughter, she was not Jieli's daughter, so she was naturally ignored. When she left Chang'an, all the money she brought with her was taken away by Jieli.
I will only give my mother three sheep, and then she will no longer care about us and let us fend for ourselves."
As Nazha spoke, her emotions became a little excited, and she gritted her teeth and said: "If it was just like this, I wouldn't hate him. But... the second year after we returned to Turks, a Prince Tiele came to see him and saw my mother.
, after learning of my mother’s identity, he asked to marry me. My mother refused to obey, so he threatened to strangle me to death. My mother had no choice but to obey... That’s how my mother married that Tiele man.
I also followed my mother to Tiele."
"In the first few years, that Tiele man treated us fairly well, but then I grew up, and that beast..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows. This plot was interesting. He whispered, "He gave you..."
Nazha glared angrily and said, "You are right, he thought so, but my mother was on guard against him and he did not succeed. However, my mother was not worried, so she asked someone to send a letter to my uncle."
"You have an uncle?!"
Li Yuandao: "I have a son named Tuli, who is known as the Turkic Little Khan. Is he the uncle you mentioned?"
Nazha nodded and said, "Yes, he is my uncle."
Seeing Li Mu's confusion, Li Yuan explained to him: "When Shibi died, his son Tuli was only six years old and could not convince the public, so Shibi's younger brother Chuluo succeeded him, and Chuluo served as chief minister for more than a year.
The Turkic Khan died inexplicably, and then Jieli came to the throne."
"It's not unclear!" Nazha answered: "My uncle told me that my great-uncle was killed by someone, and the people who killed him were Princess Yicheng and Jieli of the Sui Dynasty!"
Li Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "How did you know?"
"When I was ten years old, my mother sent me to my uncle. My uncle treated me like her own child and told me everything." Now that she had spoken, Nazha simply made it clear and said, "Uncle Chuluo is here.
At that time, I set up a tooth tent for my uncle and made it clear to the tribes that when my uncle comes of age, he will return the throne to him. That witch has been married to two generations of Turkic Khans. If my uncle comes to the throne, and Uncle Luo has not yet
If she dies, she will no longer be able to sit firmly in the back seat. Moreover, at that time, she had taken Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty to Dingxiang. Empress Xiao also brought a child, who was said to be Yang Zhengdao, the son of King Yang of Sui and Qi Dynasty. The enchantress wanted nothing more.
In order to restore the Sui Dynasty, we tried our best to persuade Chuluo Shuzu to attack Bingzhou to resettle Yang Zhengdao and the refugees who had returned to the Sui Dynasty."
"Seeing that Chu Luo uncle was hesitant, she colluded with Jie Li and plotted to usurp the throne. She happened to catch up with Chu Luo uncle's illness, so she said that there were medical officials from the Sui Dynasty who were good at treating illnesses and would not allow other doctors' medicines to be used secretly.
Wu Shi Powder was added to the medicinal soup, and after Uncle Chuluo drank it, gangrene broke out and died that night."
Nazha said bitterly: "Uncle Chuluo died so hastily that he didn't have time to arrange his funeral arrangements. The tribes then recommended two candidates to inherit the throne. One was my uncle, and the other was Uncle Chuluo's son Ao Sheshe. However,
The enchantress used the excuse that my uncles were young and ugly and did not allow them to inherit the throne of Khan. Instead, she made Jieli the Khan. Soon, she married Jieli again and became an adulterer with him!"
When Li Mu heard this, he didn't understand where Nazha's gnashing hatred for Jieli came from. Even if Jieli treated their mother and daughter badly when they returned to the Turks, this was considered normal. The Turks sweated profusely for two days.
After all, it is normal for people to leave and drink tea. Even if there is hatred, it is not to this extent. He was about to ask, but Nazha had already said it herself.
"After Jieli became the Great Khan, like his uncle Chuluo, he promised to return the throne to his uncle when he came of age. But how could he agree? The witch helped him think of a plan, and Jieli used it in the name of training his uncle.
, appointed his uncle as the junior khan, in charge of the Khitan and other ministries, but secretly sowed relations between the ministries and his uncle, conflicts broke out, Jieli ordered his uncle to attack them, but refused to send troops to help. His uncle was defeated, Jieli took over
My uncle was tied to a pillar and whipped in front of the leaders of the tribes, in order to insult his uncle, disgrace his reputation, and prevent him from inheriting the throne."
Li Yuan nodded and confirmed: "It is true, I have heard the news."
Li Mu wondered: "You hate him just because of your uncle?"
"He also killed my mother!" Nazha gritted her teeth and said: "After my mother sent me to live with my uncle, I can only see my mother once a year. When my mother and I met last year, we agreed on a time to meet this year, but...
...The Tang Dynasty was fighting against the Turks, and the Tiele tribe where my mother belonged was also recruited by Jieli. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, that beast was unwilling to participate. So he gave in and refused to obey. Jieli was so angry that he even ignored my mother.
In order to protect his safety, he sent a team of troops to the Tiele tribe. In the name of discussion, they launched a violent attack and killed the beast and his sons. Although my mother was not killed on the spot...but she died on his newly established
The leader of Tiele is being purged.”
Nazha said, with tears streaming down her face, she said: "When I learned the news, the war had already begun. Moreover, Jieli also asked his uncle to recruit troops. When my uncle refused, he sent people to attack. I want to go and fight for my mother."
I couldn't even collect the corpse. It wasn't until the city of Dingxiang was destroyed that Jieli had no time to take care of him and withdrew the troops who were attacking my uncle. Then I secretly ran out of my uncle's camp and wanted to see my mother, but I couldn't even find a tomb.
I wanted to avenge the Tiele leader who killed my mother, but I found out that he had died in the clouds and the tribe was dispersed. I wanted to avenge Jie Li, but he was captured and had been escorted to Chang'an.
...I had no choice but to pretend to be a refugee, lie to win Siwen's trust, and follow him to Chang'an. I had no other thoughts in my mind, I just wanted to kill Jie Li and avenge my mother!"
After listening to this story, Li Mu intuitively told him that Nazha might not have told the whole story, and what happened would not be that simple. But as far as this story is concerned, there are no big loopholes, because the two parties involved in the matter
, Jieli and Tuli are both alive now, and it is very easy to verify it. Therefore, he believes that this matter should be generally true.
Li Mu said nothing, but looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan understood what Li Mu meant when he looked over. He was silent for a long time and then said to Nazha: "My child, although I can't help you get revenge, I can save your life. If you live here, as long as I am here, I will protect your life."
