Recently, the grassland has gradually returned to tranquility. After the snowfall, there are often continuous snowflakes in the sky, and the world seems to be shrouded in a layer of white veil.
The fierce drums and passionate shouts have disappeared, and the fallen warriors who once fought bloodyly were buried under the white snowflakes. Everything suddenly seemed to be a dream. Only the soldiers on duty under the flagpole shrank and walked with their hands and feet, looking vicissitudes and lonely. The battle flag with the word Xue written on it crackled and trembled in the occasional gust of wind.
The Tang people accepted the peace wish of the Turks in the northern desert, which meant that the war was coming to an end.
Xue Chongxun also made timely arrangements and won the title of leader of the military alliance of various ethnic groups in the north.
Then there is no need to stay in this lonely grassland anymore. Xue Chongxun began to plan to return to the court, but the aftermath of the former Turkic Khanate should be arranged properly.
In addition to regularly reporting military affairs to Chang'an, the northern army in Xue Chongxun did not have too much information, nor did they comment on the alliance structure of its organization.
This quiet situation is like the grassland and snow here, but Xue Chongxun easily guessed that all parties in Chang'an must be very concerned about this matter, and there are more than 100,000 elite Tang troops in his hands.
No matter what, the destination of everyone is within the pass, and it is time to go back.
Xue Chongxun got up with Turkic Princess Ashinazhuo in the morning. The two seemed a little silent, but Ashinazhuo did not show any bad emotions.
She probably has begun to accept a new life, not only because she already belonged last night, but also had a destined fate. She was destined to obey the diplomatic alliance plan and act as a ribbon of peace.
After breakfast, Xue Chongxun reported something that was not a big deal, saying that Qi Telle, a Turkic man who made contributions in the Battle of Heisha City last time, had something to report, which was important to their tribe.
Xue Chongxun thought to himself: It is probably because Qi Telle's tribe who wants to surrender to the inside. Although the two countries need to rebuild it, Qi Telle's meritorious service for the Tang army was also a betrayal of the Turkic Khanate. His tribe was in an awkward situation in the Turkic Khanate, but in the Tang Dynasty, he was a hero. It is easy to choose where to go.
It just so happened that Xue Chongxun had nothing serious today. He had generals in charge of the military camp and Wang Changling, who was in charge of handling matters related to the Shanyu Protectorate, so he didn't have to go there personally.
So he ordered Qi Teller to be summoned, and asked his adviser Su Jin and others to come and help out with suggestions to find out the gaps.
Seeing that Xue Chongxun was arranging the important matters, Ashinazhuo said: The King of Jin wants to do business, so it is not convenient for me to stay here, so I should go back to my original residence first.
Xue Chongxun disagreed: Qi Teller's request for a visit today must be about the surrender of the Tsugu tribe. Although the Turks were my enemies, I have always been kind to those who sincerely submit.You are a Turkic princess, and there is nothing wrong with participating in this matter.Besides, it is not good to move elsewhere now, just stay.
Ashinazhuo thought to himself that he wanted to avoid it because he did not want to see Qi Teller, but Xue Chongxun's words also reminded her that she was a Turkic princess and that she should be more concerned about the affairs of the Turkic people when she married into the Tang Dynasty.
So she agreed.
Xue Chongxun's central army tent was closely guarded, and no idle people could walk around within fifty steps.
However, Qi Teller was the person who was allowed to be summoned, so he went to the tent smoothly. The eunuch who came out from inside also shouted: He is the one the prince wants to meet, let him come over.Jie Jian followed me in.
Qi Teller took off the scimitar hanging around his waist, placed it on the knife holder on the tent door, pointed to the flint knife on the belt and other objects: Do you want to take down the ornament?
No need, hurry in and don’t let people wait for a long time.
Officials say.
Qi Teller was a Turkic person but was appointed as an official of the Tang Dynasty. His master had long changed. Now he and the soldiers of the Tang army were considered their own people. In addition, Xue Chongxun once praised him for his contributions, so it is never difficult for everyone to do anything for him on weekdays.
The group entered the tent in a regular manner, and saw a case in the middle sitting behind King Xue Chongxun of Jin sitting. Ashinazhuo also sat openly on one side, as if he had the style of a princess.
There were two or three civil servants on the stool below. Two rows of unarmored warriors stood on both sides near the tent door, a bit like a servant who was a private martial artsman. They were wearing cloth clothes without hats, and had buns on their heads and were inserted with simple hairpins. There were no conspicuous weapons on their bodies.
Moreover, Xue Chongxun was dressed like a man, wearing a squid head...
Perhaps because of the end of the war, there were no soldiers and armor in the central army's tent, and there was not much atmosphere, but it was like a book hall.
Qi Teller glanced at Ashinazhuo, but Ashinazhuo looked straight ahead and didn't even give him a direct eye, as if he didn't notice Qi Teller.
Meet the King of Jin.Qi Teller raised his arm and placed it on his chest and bowed.
Xue Chongxun seemed very easy-going and said calmly: Come and bring a stool to Qi Teller, sit down and say something.
Qi Teller thanked him and sat down on the stool but didn't say anything about it for a long time.
Xue Chongxun wondered and urged: What were you talking about?
Qi Tellerna glanced around and hesitated and didn't say a complete sentence. Now Xue Chongxun understood and immediately said calmly: It's okay to just say it, these people are my old friends, and there is nothing that cannot be said in front of them in business.The people below are servants brought by Xue's mansion. They didn't leave Chang'an except for me when I came out, let alone what has anything to do with the Turks. You don't have to worry about leaking the news.
Qi Teller had no choice but to speak in a deep voice: Among the Turks sent to discuss peace this time, my grandfather's confidant, and he had a secret meeting with me a few days ago.My grandfather, the left wise king of Turkic, knew that I had made meritorious service for my inner lords and was worried that the Khan would know that it would harm his tribe, so he wanted to ask the court to arrange for the inner lord tribe to be attached to it to protect the safety of the tribe's nearly 10,000 tents.
Xue Chongxun breathed out, and thought to himself as expected, and said: Where is the messenger of Zuo Xianwang, let him take the token and interview me directly. I will consider you fairly.
Qi Telle said: The messenger has handed over the token and the letter from his parents to me. Please check it out first.
So very good, presented.
Xue Chongxun said.
The clerk standing beside him walked down to pick him up. Qi Teller took out a box from his arms and put it in the clerk's hand.
But the box was not delivered to Xue Chongxun immediately. According to the rules of the royal palace, this box needs others to help Xue Chongxun open it to prevent possible dangers such as the agency.
The atmosphere at this time was very kind, and the clerk just checked it according to the customs and rules.
Unexpectedly, the clerk who had received the thing tinkered aside for a long time but couldn't get it. He said with awkward expression: This box cannot be opened, you have to find a craftsman.
Qi Teller said: There is a hidden bullet next to you, and you can open it... He said as if nothing had happened. Let me, I will help you open it first.
stop!Su Jin suddenly shouted seriously, no one asked you to come up.
However, Qi Teller did not stop and explained: I forgot to open the box first.
Originally, Xue Chongxun didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter at all, but suddenly felt strange. He suddenly felt alert and blurted out: What's wrong with this Turkic man, come on, let me see it!
At first, when Su Jin shouted, the slaves below were already looking at each other. As soon as Xue Chongxun spoke, everyone rushed over.
At the same time, Qi Teller, who had approached more than ten steps, suddenly turned into running, and the murderous aura on his face was revealed and headed straight for Xue Chongxun.
The tent was shocked, and Xue Chongxun and Ashinazhuo both stood up.
There are assassins!Su Jin shouted.
Xue Chongxun was shocked and felt a sudden thud. He didn't understand why the Turkic man suddenly turned against him. At this time, he was unarmed and took his eyes and swept the table with only inkstones, pens, inkstones, and other objects, but no weapons were found.
He suddenly remembered that his sword was hanging at the door of the inner tent because he had no weapons in the past few days.
Qi Teller ran very fast, spread his arms and leaned forward like an angry bull!
At this time, the few people who were closer to Xue Chongxun were all civil officials who relied on the ink in their stomachs to make a living. They knew nothing about boxing, feet, and martial arts. They may lack exercise in their daily lives and almost always stayed like a wooden chicken when they encountered such emergencies.
Only Su Jin was extremely courageous and actually ran over to intercept Qi Telle. In the flash of lightning, Xue Chongxun's eyes flashed quickly. Seeing this, he subconsciously had an idea: It was indeed a person who had served as a minister, and he was talented everywhere.
Su Jin jumped towards Qi Teller's position, but unfortunately he didn't jump to the ground, and then hugged Qi Teller's foot with his arms.
With a bang, Qi Teller flew up his other foot and kicked Su Jin out.
In a moment, Qi Teller had arrived before the case, but after such a slowdown, Xue Chongxun had come to his senses from his initial surprise. He was a martial artist who had been much more calm.
Seeing Qi Teller's body tilted up, Xue Chongxun predicted that he would directly raise the case, so he grabbed the inkstone and threw it over.
Qi Teller gently dodged over, but the ink ground into the inkstone sprinkled his head and face and turned into a black man.
He paused for a moment, and a voice in his heart said that it depends on this moment whether it will succeed or not.
Qi Teller, a man who is good at riding horses, shooting archery and wrestling, doesn’t have much thought in his mind. At this time, he immediately decided to change the route and avoid the book case. It was just a intuition that he didn’t have time to think too much.
Sure enough, this kind of thing is more intuition. The book case was stirred up by Xue Chongxun, because Qi Teller turned to this action in advance and did not work.
Every moment is very important, because the slaves below pounced on him in a blink of an eye, and every blink of an eye had to be broken into two pieces.
As soon as the book case was turned up, Qi Teller appeared in front of him from the side. A hint of amazement at his speed flashed in Xue Chongxun's eyes. It was probably this moment of amazement that implied that Xue Chongxun's psychology should not be underestimated. He was really panicked if he didn't have a place to take his hands.
I saw a glimmer of light, and a knife had appeared in Qi Teller's hand...
This thing is really difficult to kill chickens by only acting as an ornament among the nobles.
However, Sanniang once said: Killing does not depend on what weapon to use, but on whether you have the intention to kill for a moment.
The fierce drums and passionate shouts have disappeared, and the fallen warriors who once fought bloodyly were buried under the white snowflakes. Everything suddenly seemed to be a dream. Only the soldiers on duty under the flagpole shrank and walked with their hands and feet, looking vicissitudes and lonely.
