726 Pardons
Kuro said a little bitterly: "General Zheng, isn't there a third way for the Qarlu clan?" ”
Either way, the Qarluqs are the pawns of others, the objects of use by others, and when they think of this, Kuro has an inexplicable sadness.
Zheng Peng said indifferently: "The patriarch is a shrewd person, whether there is one, there must be no need to ask me." ”
Kuro took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of reward will Gharluku get if he cooperates with the general?" ”
Two months ago, Zheng Peng still appeared in public in Xiao Bolu, and now, the intelligence shows that Zheng Peng is still in the private house next to the barracks, singing and dancing every day, who would have thought that he would appear in Sun Bo quietly, and he would get rid of the camp in the north of the town without knowing it, and said that Da Bolu had fallen, that is, everything was in Zheng Peng's calculations.
For Ge Lulu, a good hand of cards are all bad, Zheng Peng analyzed it thoroughly, whether Cride Zu believes it or not, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Ge Lulu is put on the fire frame, and cooperation with Datang is the best way out, and what I hope now is to get as many returns as possible.
"Sawan the order to hunt down and kill the Golluqs, and the lives of the Grolu tribe will be spared."
"No," Kuroma said, shaking his head, "We are fighting to the death, just to get a promise to save our lives?" That's a promise that's too weak. ”
Zheng Peng sighed, and said with a sincere face: "What has Ge Lulu done, presumably the patriarch knows best, not counting the losses caused to the Western Regions, just the reputation of the Tang Dynasty is a huge loss, when nothing happens, it is impossible, to be honest, as long as you provoke a little more, let Ge Lulu and Tubo attack each other can achieve the same consequences, but I can't bear it, the matter of the Western Regions, I know that it is not what the patriarch wants, nor is it what the vast majority of the people of the Ge Lulu clan want, this will give you a chance, as for whether to accept it or not, Patriarch, please feel free. ”
"General, can't you go back to the past?" Kuro said with some reluctance.
It would be great if he could return to the Western Regions and get the support and respect of Datang as before.
"Can't!" Zheng Peng said very frankly: "The emperor's attitude is very resolute, and the government and the opposition unanimously demand that Ge Lulu be severely punished. ”
After a pause, Zheng Peng continued: "You also know my character, only do what you are sure of, things have developed to this point, that is, I promise that Ge Lulu can restore his former status and glory, I guess you can't believe it, of course, if the Ge Lulu clan performs well and gets enough military merits, I can also plead with the emperor, as for success or failure, I can only say that I can fight as much as possible, and I can't promise you." ”
Where Kuro stood, his face turned blue and purple for a while, as if he was at war in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Now caught in the middle, I can't believe that Datang has such a big move, I still have hope for Chide Zuzan for a while, I am afraid of returning to the Western Regions to be retaliated by Tuqishi, and I am afraid that Datang will turn his face and not recognize people, cross the river and draw boards, and believe Zheng Peng in my heart, but Ge Lulu has 100,000 lives, and Zheng Peng can't gamble on the future of the entire Ge Lulu in a few words.
A decision that can affect the future and death of the entire Qarluq clan, Kuro can only be cautious.
Kuro just wanted to say that he wanted to go back to discuss with the clansmen, Zheng Peng suddenly slapped his thigh and said with some regret: "Look at my memory, I saw that my old friend was a little excited, and I almost forgot the meeting gift." ”
Want to buy yourself?
Kuroma said: "They all say that they are old friends, and there is no need for rituals." ”
At this time, where do you dare to receive any gifts, if Zheng Peng agrees, Kuro really doesn't mind giving gifts through Zheng Peng, but it is just a gift, it seems that Ge Lulu has nothing to give, because Zheng Peng lacks nothing.
Zheng Peng did not respond, but put his two tail fingers to his mouth and blew a short whistle, and soon, a large stone about thirty zhang away from the two of them suddenly lit up a bonfire, Kuro was a little surprised to find that there were four people dressed as Tibetan soldiers tied together on the big stone, and the mouths of these four people were blocked, and their frightened expressions were faintly seen in the light of the fire.
"General, this is... What do you mean? Kuro asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zheng Peng said with some light description: "These four people are all murderers in the Uma tribe, and they were caught by my people on the way back, showing the patriarch an interesting trick, and by the way, giving the patriarch a little breath." ”
After speaking, he patted Ku Luo's shoulder lightly and handed a long lacquer box to Ku Luo: "Patriarch, you have to look carefully, remember, don't get close, hold this box, if you decide to stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty, open it, if the patriarch decides to stand on the side of Tubo, just throw it into the fire and say goodbye." ”
Kuro held a box and watched with some amazement as Zheng Peng went down the mountain accompanied by the cardinal and a team of guards, then turned over and quickly disappeared into the night.
Just gone? How is it that Qarluq is also a huge force, and he doesn't have to persuade for a while?
Suddenly, Kuro felt that there seemed to be something strange in the big rock in the distance, and if he looked closely, a flash of light appeared around the four Tibetan soldiers, like a fire road, which continued to burn towards the four Tibetan soldiers who were tied together, and the four Tibetan soldiers also noticed this vision, and struggled in some horror, but the four of them were tied very tightly, and the struggle was to no avail.
Is this, to roast them to death?
Just as Kuro wanted to capture the four of them first, torture them to see what information there was before executing them, a flash of fire flashed in the darkness, and then with a "boom", Kuro's pupils shrank: the place where the four Tibetan soldiers were tied seemed to suddenly emit a huge fire and sound, and in the fire and loud noise, the four Tibetan soldiers turned into flesh and blood and scattered everywhere.....
Oh my God, what is this? Sky Thunder?
No, I didn't see thunder and lightning falling from the sky, is this the trick Zheng Peng said?
When Kuro was frightened, he felt a chill on his face, as if he had been touched by something, and subconsciously touched it, feeling wet, and couldn't help but be surprised when he put it in front of him: it was a small piece of minced meat with blood.
So far away, can flesh and blood splash here?
For a moment, Kuro seemed to understand why Zheng Peng was so tough and confident, and the answer to the mystery of the camp in Zhenbei being killed overnight was about to come out.
"Patriarch, are you alright?"
"What's the loud noise, is there thunder in the sky?"
"What happened, it seemed like the earth was shaking just now, where did it collapse?"
Hearing a loud noise, the guards who followed Kuro from afar hurried over, for fear that their patriarch would be plotted against him.
Kuro subconsciously hugged the lacquer box in his hand and ordered loudly: "I'm fine, pass my order, and the leaders of the various departments and clan elders will come here for a meeting immediately." ”
If there was a little hesitation and swaying just now, witnessing the terrible scene of the flesh and blood of the four Tibetan soldiers, that little hesitation and swaying would disappear immediately, and Kuro was now afraid that Zheng Peng would no longer need Gloro.
Needless to say, Zheng Peng must have come up with a powerful mysterious weapon, if he guessed correctly, the soldiers of the Beida Battalion in Tubo Town died tragically under this mysterious weapon.
It seems that if something happened to Zheng Peng, it would not be surprising.
"Patriarch, now... It's late at night. One of the guards said cautiously.
There are too many things happening today, some tribal leaders and clan elders have just left, and it is a bit unkind to call them back now, especially some clan elders are old, such a cold day, or dark night, it is not good to let them toss back and forth.
Kuro shouted, "Go quickly, this matter is urgent, the sooner the better." ”
Seeing that the clansmen's expressions were so solemn, several guards did not dare to slack off, answered, and then quickly ran to inform.
The remaining guards looked at Zheng Peng, who was a little distracted, and asked cautiously, "Patriarch, are you okay?" ”
Kuro didn't speak, he opened the lacquer box, and when he opened it, he saw that it looked like a holy decree inside, and he opened it carefully, only to see three big characters written on it: pardon order, which roughly means that no matter who holds this pardon order, he can pardon all past sins, in addition to the autograph of the Tang Emperor on it, there is also the national seal of the Tang Dynasty below.
Looking for himself to talk about cooperation, even the pardon order is ready, it can be seen that Zheng Peng has great confidence in this cooperation, in fact, the Qarlu clan has no way out.
After reading the pardon a few more times, Kuro carefully put it away, put it back in the lacquer box, and picked up the note at the bottom of the box, which contained only four words: The messier the better.
