In front of the Turkic envoys and his party, Zhang Xingrang, the director of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't explain too clearly, which would be very embarrassing.

But everyone is an official who has been in the officialdom for many years, and they have more or less guessed the truth of the matter in their hearts.

At the beginning, the Turkic Khan silently asked to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty and his relatives, but Wu Zetian refused. According to the prediction of the Great Zhou court, the border should soon usher in the revenge of the Turks.

But the Great Zhou court still overestimated the Modu Khan!

Because Mo Du had just ascended to the throne of Khan and his foothold was not stable, he actually didn't want to fight in his heart, and he was afraid of war. But if he was rejected, he would naturally lose face, and he couldn't shrink his eggs, otherwise he would be looked down upon by his ministers and Turkic people, which would be very disadvantageous to him, the new khan.

Since it is unrealistic to start a war with the Great Zhou, and the Molu Khan wants to protect his face, there is no way, he can only go all the way to the dark - to ask the Great Zhou court for peace again.

It's just that this time he asked for peace again, and he ingeniously did not ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but hoped to marry the princess of the Turkic dynasty to the prince of the Great Zhou court.

Mo Xuan cleverly changed the concept of harmony.

Regardless of whether to marry a Tang princess or a Turkic princess, it is always called harmony, isn't it? In this way, I can barely give an account to my subjects.

The Great Zhou court pondered carefully, well, as long as we don't marry our princess to the Turks, it will not damage the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and it can also calm the crisis of the Turkic disturbances, this thing can be done! So he sent Zhang Xingrang, the director of the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for welcoming the Turkic mission.

The envoy who led the Turkic mission this time was called Sai Xiulun. This Sai Xiulun also has another identity, which is the father of Sai Muchao, who came to Datang last time to marry the princess and was rejected by his relatives.

Counting it up, Sai Muchao is Cui Geng's old enemy.

Last time, Sai Muchao suffered a loss at the hands of Cui Geng, and after he went back, he was punished for a crime of insulting the country's prestige, and was ordered to be beaten fifty boards by Mo Du.

Originally, playing fifty boards was just to set an example, and to be silent was to vent his anger and get back a little face for himself. But who would have thought that one of Sai Xiulun's political enemies in the Turkic court secretly gave money to the person in charge of the execution, and dozens of boards came down, although Sai Muchao saved one life, but his two legs were completely useless!

A good son, who went to the Central Plains and came back as a cripple, Sai Xiulun, the father, naturally did not dare to resent and be silent, so he had to put all this hatred on Cui Geng's body.

Coincidentally, this time Mo Du changed from marrying a woman to marrying a daughter, so he gave Sehuron a task to raise the prestige of the Turkic state.

This time, he went to Da Zhou, deliberately made a big detour, and entered the territory of Datang from the direction of Dingzhou. On the grounds of comparing again, I want to find trouble with Cui Geng.

Zhang Xingrang held the official document of the Ministry of Rites, and the Turkic envoys were only more than 20 people and did not pose a threat, so the passes along the way were neither intercepted nor notified to Sun Yangao.

Therefore, when they arrived in Dingzhou, they began to inform the Dingzhou government.

……

As soon as he heard that these people were the head of the Ministry of Rites and the Turkic Mission, and they were all here to trouble Cui Geng, Sun Yangao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in the east: "Unfortunately, Cui Geng is not in Dingzhou City at the moment, but in Huangcheng Village, Anping County. If Director Zhang knew the way, he could take the Turkic mission with him. If you don't know the way, Ben Thorn can send two guides to take you there. ”

Zhang Xingrang, director of the Ministry of Rites: "......"

Obviously, Zhang Xingrang also saw that Sun Yangao and Cui Geng were not dealing with each other, and this was to lead the Turkic delegation to Cui Erlang.

However, Sai Xiulun's small eyes narrowed, and he looked at Sun Yangao and said, "Huh? You, an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are dressed in purple clothes and gold and jade belts, and among the officials in Dingzhou, only the assassin has this honor. Could it be that you are Sun Yangao, the assassin of Dingzhou? ”

"Yes, exactly." Sun Yangao was a little proud.

"Well, since it's a big competition between the two countries, how can there be no audience? Since Sun Tingshi is also here, it is better to invite Sun Tingshi and everyone present to go to Huangcheng Village with this envoy. ”

Sun Yangao was frightened when he saw the Turkic cavalry, how dare he agree to this request? Besides, as long as he sees Cui Geng, he can't stop Cui Geng from taking office, so how can it be done?

led such a vote of Dingzhou civil and military officials to Huangcheng Village, after all, did he not respond to Cui Erlang's cruel words released that day?

So, he repeated the old trick and said, "Uh...... The official occasionally feels cold and difficult to support, so he will not accompany him. ”

But this trick is not good for Sai Xiulun!

I saw him smile coldly and said, "Occasionally, feeling cold? Tell you, surnamed Sun, don't care if it's true or fake, you have to go if you go today, and you have to go if you don't go! ”

After finishing speaking, Seyhuren suddenly stepped forward and went to Sun Yangao's neck!

"Bold!"

Sun Yan is high-minded, but the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou are not!

As soon as Dingzhou Sima Li Xia made a look, two government soldiers, one left and one right, drew their waist knives and slashed at Sai Xiulun's body.

But Sehuren is a Turkic envoy after all, they don't dare to really kill the envoy of Fanbang, this Nima really killed the other party, and he wants to start a war between the two countries. So this trick is a false move.

This kind of bluffing move, as long as Sehuren retreats back, is basically no problem.

But Sai Xiulun did not retreat, he saw the two government soldiers out of the sword, not advancing but retreating, twisting his body, and let go of the double knife in a moment.

Yes?

At the moment when the two government soldiers were stunned and in a trance, his right hand flipped over, revealing a pitch-black dagger.

Puff~~

Between the lightning and flint, two government soldiers were stabbed in the throat and died on the spot!

Sehuren laughed, "It is said that your Central Plains humanities are weak, and my Turkic warriors are enough to defeat ten with one, and when I see it today, it is really true!" ”

"How daring! I'll kill you! ”

Although Sima Li Xia of Dingzhou is in the same stream as Fan Guanglie and others, he is a man who loves soldiers like children, and when he saw his subordinates being slaughtered in an instant, he was really angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

As soon as he waved his hand, the 200 soldiers who came with him immediately bowed their swords and unsheathed them, surrounding the Turkic missions.

But Sai Xiulun was not afraid, snorted coldly, and said, "You kill!" Kill you! The crime of sabotaging the diplomatic relations between the two countries and setting off a war between the two countries, you have a little ...... Hmm, looking at your appearance, you're just a five- or six-grade official, right? Hehe, can you afford it? ”

"I ......" Obviously, Li Xia, the Sima of Dingzhou, really can't afford it.

But Sun Yangao, as the assassin of Dingzhou, is a feudal official of the Eight Classics, so he can try to take on it.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to Sun Yangao and said, "Sun Tingshi, what do you say?" ”

When Sun Yangao faced the Turks, his courage was not much stronger than that of a mouse, and he said weakly: "There is a way that the two countries are fighting each other, and Li Sima also asks the overall situation to be important." ”

Li Xia's heart was half cold when he heard this, and he was really angry with Sun Yangao and hated him for coercing!

He looked at Sun Yangao in disappointment and said, "Then our people can't die in vain, right?" ”

"Our people ......"

Before Sun Yangao's words were finished, Sai Huren interrupted very strongly: "Hehe, of course he died in vain!" ”

After speaking, his body shook and he threw himself at a government soldier.

This guy is definitely a fierce man who is good at fighting among the Turks, and between three moves and two styles, he took another life.

Before his eyes, a government soldier was killed on the spot!

Wow~

There were more than 200 government soldiers on the spot, angry and fierce, and there was a posture that as long as the main general gave the order, he would tear Sai Xiulun apart on the spot!

Who knew that Sun Yangao raised his arms and shouted: "Calm down, calm down, are you waiting for this to rebel?" ”

Fan Guanglie next to him also saw Sun Yangao, and immediately shouted: "Whoever dares to act recklessly and provoke a war between the two countries is the sinner of my Great Zhou!" The Dingzhou Mansion can't spare him! ”

Li Xia bowed his head in grief and indignation, his heart was dead.

"It's too deceitful!"

Supervising the royal history of the king's assistant book, he couldn't stand this bird's anger, and said angrily: "Kill him!" Kill him! Kill this old Turkic dog! The court blamed it, and it had its own imperial history. ”

Bapin supervises the imperial history, the position is humble and powerful, and the soldiers of the government are not unable to explain the killing after listening to his words.

All the soldiers are eager to try!

But, at this moment—

"Stop!"

Sun Yangao shouted again, this time he was indeed bold, only to see him blocking in front of Sai Xiulun, and said: "Don't hurt the Turkic envoys, all the soldiers listen to the order of Ben Assassin Shi and take ten steps back!" ”

"But my lord, it's our ...... who died" Li Xia's eyes turned red.

But Sun Yangao ignored him, he must not let the Turkic mission have any accidents in his territory, because the matter between him and Fan Guanglie was much more important than the death of a few government soldiers.

I saw him shouting in a deep voice: "This assassin shouts three numbers, and if you don't retreat, you will engage in military law!" Three...... Two...... One! ”

"Ah~~"

Li Xia stomped his feet abruptly and retreated with the government soldiers.

With a look of resentment on their faces, the soldiers took ten steps back and glared angrily at Sehuron.

Seeing this, Sai Hulun laughed more and more proudly, patted Sun Yangao's cheek even more domineeringly, and said happily: "Well, yes, you have a good history of Dingzhou assassination, okay, let's take this envoy to Huangcheng Village." ”

"Eh, yes, yes."

Sun Yangao took everyone and Sai Hulun together and came in the direction of Huangcheng Village.

Wang Zhu and Liu Laosi had to see Cui Geng anyway, and they also followed the big team forward.

After about a few hours, I finally arrived at Huangcheng Village.

On the way, Wang Zhu said hatefully beside Liu Laosi: "Even if the two countries don't have diplomatic relations, but Sai Hulun brutalized my Great Zhou soldiers, killed people to pay for his life, and took him into Chang'an, it's no problem, right?" Sun Yangao is so subservient and subservient, it is really insulting to the country, after this imperial history returns to Chang'an, he must be impeached fiercely! ”

Liu Laosi's fat face showed an inexplicable smile, and said, "Suona enters Beijing? And then what? Wang Yushi thought that the ministers of the court would be like Sai Huron because of a few government soldiers? ”

"Uh......"

Of course, Wang Zhu understands that it is completely impossible to let the soft eggs in the DPRK and China risk a war between the two countries and slaughter Sai Xiulun to pay for the lives of the government soldiers.

He said hatefully: "Even if you can't pay for your life, even if you let this high-flying guy suffer a little, you can still vent your evil anger!" In the territory of my Great Zhou, killing people in front of my Great Zhou officials in a grand manner is just... It's a loss of power and humiliation of the country! ”

Liu Laosi said in the tunnel: "Let him suffer a little?" That's a lot of fun. ”

What do you mean by that? Liu Neishi. Wang Zhu asked anxiously.

Liu Lao looked around at him and said, "Erlang was ...... That is, Cui Changshi, who told a joke to a certain family, I wonder if Wang Yushi wants to hear it? ”

"Please also ask Liu to come quickly."

Liu Laosi deliberately raised his voice and said, "It is said that there is a hunter who went to bet with his friends that he is better than a bear." So he went up the mountain to compete with the bear, but was defeated. was pushed to the ground by the bear, pulled down his pants and stabbed him in the back door. The man was not convinced, and when he went again, he was cooled by the bear again. When he went back for the third time, the bear said, "I'm convinced, are you fucking challenged, or are you looking for a fuck?" ”

Cui Geng's original version is not this, Liu Laosi is used, and the essence is all in the last sentence. The Turkic Sai Muchao failed to compete with Cui Geng for the first time, and now his father Sai Xiulun came to find a field for the second time, which is similar to this story.

The soldiers who accompanied them suddenly understood, and in an instant, they shouted in unison with the same enemy: "Haha, Liu said it well, are you here to challenge, or are you looking for a!" ”

"You're looking for death!"

Of course, Sai Xiulun knew that his mother was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he was talking about himself. immediately turned the horse's head, held a scimitar, and rushed towards Liu Laosi.

But those government soldiers had already prepared, and when they boarded, five horsemen flew out, their swords flashing, and they attacked Sai Huron's front door!

"How daring, enough to assassinate our Great Zhou Qincha?"

"Bastard Turkic, Lord Liu is His Majesty's close attendant, dare to come here?"

"Brothers, let's protect Liu Neishi!"

Two fists are hard to beat four legs, and a good man can't stand a lot of people.

Rao is no matter how brave Sai Xiulun is, where is the opponent of hundreds of soldiers single-handedly?

If it weren't for Sun Yangao's hard work, Sehuren might have to suffer a big loss.

Sai Xiulun didn't want to suffer this immediate loss, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said hatefully: "You Central Plains people will punish the benefits of your tongue, and when you see the surname Cui, there will be a time for you to cry!" ”

"Not really." Liu Laosi pointed to the front and said, "See, a few big characters are clearly written on the city gate in front - Huangcheng Village!" ”

"It's just a small village with a broken city, what's there to show off?" Seshulun said dismissively.

Liu Laosi smiled and said, "Sai Xiulun, if you turn around and leave now, count your luck." If not......"

Sai Xiulun said: "I'm going to enter the village meeting for a while today, Cui Erlang, I don't want to turn around and leave, so what?" ”

"Do you have to see my Erlang brothers?"

Liu Laosi pondered for a moment, then glanced at Wang Zhu, and laughed: "Haha, then I will let you taste the taste of that hunter too!" ”

"Damn, you're saying this envoy is here to?"

As soon as Sai Xiulun remembered the joke Liu Laosi told just now, he instantly exploded!
