As the son of the Khan, Tosai was entitled to call any tent on the steppe his home, especially in the camp of the Chamberlain.

One of his relatives removed his ornate armor for him, while the other wiped the sweat from his face and neck with a cool wipe.

"It's stuffy. Tossey said casually, wanting to be approachable.

Gu Shenwei nodded in agreement, but did not speak, Wanfu Wucuo pulled his neck open, and fanned the wind inside with his thick and hairy hand, "It's so hot that my flesh is about to melt, it's hotter than any year, and everyone below says that the old Khan King is the god of fire ascending to heaven, it seems to make sense, I think the fire in the Dragon Court doesn't seem to have been extinguished." ”

Tosai pushed away the two attendants and bowed his head in silence, and Ucuo hurriedly straightened his clothes and armor and solemnly accompanied him in silence.

"Four hours to go. "This is a battle, a decisive battle between the commanders, and the vast majority of the soldiers can watch from the sidelines, but a few people can get the honor of fighting side by side with the commander." ”

"Hopefully I'm one of those who gets the honor. Gu Shenwei's cold appearance is a good disguise, and he appears calm even when lying.

Torsai let out a long breath, and did not give an immediate answer, but looked at the Dragon King carefully, "I am not from the Central Plains, so I have something to say. ”

"It's for the best. ”

"The Dragon King has disappointed me. Tosai's eyes were blazing, trying to create some kind of penetration, "You don't seem to have recognized your identity and situation, and you are acting on your own under my protection, defying and even disobeying my orders. ”

Gu Shenwei raised his head slightly, he was good at lying, but there was a bottom line, Tosai had already crossed this line, so he also had to say it bluntly, "I think there is a misunderstanding in this, I don't know what Xiao Yan said, but this is an equal alliance, of course King Yao is the boss, but I and the Dragon Army are not your subordinates." ”

Tosai was stunned, in just a few days, he quickly learned the demeanor of a king, but it was the first time he encountered such a straightforward resistance, in his impression, a king should not have experienced this kind of thing.

Then he became furious, snatched the saber from his retinue, and strode towards the dragon king.

Wucuo hugged King Yao in time, "The prince is angry." ”

"How dare he?" asked Tosse, surprised, not insisting on moving forward.

Ucuo gently took Tosai's sword, handed it to the flustered attendant, and patted the young prince on the back, "Please allow me to say a nasty word, the Dragon King is telling the truth, he is the king of the Western Regions, and the distinguished guests invited to visit, even if he is on an equal footing with the Khan King. ”

Tosai seemed to be about to vent his anger on Ucuo, but under the other party's eyes, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, raised his head and laughed, "The dragon king's straightforward temper is really like a prairie man, that's right, we are equal allies, and we should benefit each other, not who commands whom." ”

"King Yao is a well-deserved commander of our side, and of course he has the right to command. The head of the old Khan has been found, and the covenant of the Five Sayings is still valid. ”

Tosai waved his hand, "There's no rush for that piece beforehand." ”

The guards at the gate came in and said, "The generals have arrived." ”

Twenty-seven commanders entered, and the tent immediately became crowded, and Tosai was looking forward to this moment, and politely asked the dragon king to retreat to his side, coughed twice, and said, "You are all vassals of my family, and your father is on standby in my army at this moment. ”

Someone wanted to kneel, but the place was too narrow, which caused a stir, and Tosse clapped his hands to stop it, "I don't have to count ...... today"

Captain Uso motioned for the Dragon King to go around the tent with him.

It's hotter outside, Ucuo glanced at the sun angrily, and immediately lost the battle, pulling the dragon king out a few steps, "The prince is young, and he is not too suitable for the first time, so let me say some things." ”

"Good. ”

"There were one hundred and twenty-one commanders in the Chamberlain, of whom thirty-four were permanent officers, and the rest were from various tribes and served only ten years. ”

Gu Shenwei knew all these things, and he also knew that the twenty-seven commanders summoned by Tosai were not all subordinates of the Yue Yao family, but also the subjects of the Kuai Wang.

Uso said that this was just to emphasize the fact that "the close servants will definitely take refuge in the prince, and the general trend is that he is the future king of Khan." ”

"I'm convinced of that. ”

Ucuo smiled, the Dragon King's lies couldn't hide from him, but he didn't want to expose them, "In case, if I can't become the captain of the capital, the prince won't be able to get close attendants, this is the worst outcome, and this must not be allowed to happen." ”

Ucuo's hint was obvious, and Gu Shenwei patted the scabbard under his waist, "I hope my knife can help." ”

"Hehe, knives are very useful, and what is more useful is people, the head of the Shangguan sect of the country of incense seems to be very familiar with the officers. Ucuo's tone was casual, but his gaze was fixed on the dragon king's face, catching every trace of his changes.

Gu Shenwei lowered his voice slightly, "Shangguan Jiaotou will exert her influence as much as possible." ”

Ucuo nodded with satisfaction, but he knew how unreliable the so-called loyalty and trust were, genuine threats were like salt in a dish, just a little bit could make the plain and tasteless delicious, "Great, there is something that the prince may have forgotten to say just now, no matter who becomes the captain tomorrow morning, it may cause a scuffle in the Dragon Court, for the sake of safety, the prince made his own decisions, and took the queen and female dependents of the Dragon King into his camp and sent heavy troops to protect them." ”

"Thank you very much for relieving me of my worries. ”

The dragon king took his leave, and Ucuo looked at his back, feeling that this young man was not easy to control, but when he thought of the hostage in his hand, he was relieved.

In the closed tent, Shangguan Ru was having a heated discussion with Azheba and the other seven officers, as if she was also part of the close guard, and it seemed that the officers admitted this.

Seeing the Dragon King come in, everyone shut up, Shangguan Ru got up and waved at him, "You came back just in time, come up with an idea." ”

The officers looked vigilant, and Azheba preemptively asked, "How did the Dragon King and King Yue Yao talk?"

He summoned twenty-seven commanders and demanded their allegiance to him. ”

"Temporarily cramming, King Yao's reaction was really fast. One officer said disdainfully that the kings had long since begun to co-opt forces among the commanders and even the centurions, and that Tosai was the last to do so.

"He's going to use my knife too. ”

No one spoke, the two armies were facing each other, no one was afraid of a dragon king, and within ten steps, no one could calmly deal with this sword.

"King Yao also hopes that the head of the Shangguan sect will convince you to be loyal to him. Gu Shenwei told the truth, he believed that it would not be long before the rumors would be flying all over the sky, so it was better to take the initiative to say it himself.

Shangguan Ru pursed his lips disdainfully, "Tosai really thinks highly of me, and I haven't allegiance to him. ”

"What did the Dragon King say?" asked Azheba unnaturally.

"I agreed. ”

The officers were in an uproar, and Azheba stopped everyone, "In front of Tosai, of course the Dragon King has to say yes, aren't we all the same?"

The officers calmed down, and one of them asked, "What does the Dragon King really think?"

"My real thoughts are that I will help whoever will help me the most in the future, and I will help them today. ”

The dragon king's answer was snobbish and straightforward, and the officers, most of whom were about his age, were very uncomfortable with this style, preferring to listen to rhetoric and loyalty, and some people questioned, "The dragon king only has one sword, how can he help?"

"If the election result is not Captain Gulundu...... "Azheba is more mature than other officers, and he is also the first person to win over the Dragon King.

"Can't we do it ourselves? Do we have to use someone else's knife?" said one officer, unconvinced.

"Why don't you understand?" Azheba looked a little irritated, "No matter who becomes the Grand Captain, there is a group of supporters behind them, and they will desperately protect their own people, just like we protect the Captain of Gulun, in this case, who else in the camp is more suitable than the Dragon King......"

Azheba didn't say the word "assassination", but paused and continued: "The opportunity is short, once the new Grand Lieutenant comes out of the tent to accept the allegiance of the soldiers, killing him again will cause great chaos in the army, and no one wants to see such a thing. ”

The officers were silent for a moment, and one of the youngest officers said, "Won't the Dragon King be punished for killing people in public?"

Gu Shenwei explained the problem, "First, I need someone to bring me into the tent where the results are announced, which is very easy, and King Yao will find a way; second, I need a little chaos, cheering or opposing, in short, crowding everyone to everyone." ”

"And then?"

Gu Shenwei looked at the noble officer, who was two or three years younger than himself, "There are many ways to kill people, there are several that do not leave a trace, I will use one of them, as long as you don't betray me, it will not arouse suspicion." ”

"We will never betray the Dragon King. The officers were babbling, they all saw the Dragon King for the first time this morning, and they were not particularly confident in this pale and desolate peer, and they always felt that the rumors and Shangguan Ru's description were exaggerated, but when the Dragon King said these words flatly, they were suddenly full of confidence, and even a trace of fear.

"There are many ways to kill people", these words only when they come out of the mouth of the dragon king, they have a unique and powerful deterrent power.

"So, the dragon king is still on our side. Azheba was slightly excited.

"I want to hear what you can do for me in the future. ”

The officers unanimously looked at Shangguan Ru.

Shangguan Ru had completely lost the will to kill, but hearing the Dragon King's words, it still made her heart pound, and she couldn't tell whether she was scared or excited, "They will go to the Western Regions with the Dragon King to meet Prince Dotun and give up the Shule Kingdom to you." ”

"That's what Captain Gulun means. Azheba added that this meant that 100,000 close servants would go to the Western Regions, which was much larger than Gu Shenwei's previous plan to borrow 20,000 troops.

"My sword is at your disposal. ”

Another alliance, Gu Shenwei felt that this would not be the last.

Azheba and the others said goodbye, and the red bat wanted to hang up the curtain and stop at Shangguan Ru's signal.

There were only two people left in the tent, and Shangguan Ru asked, "Is your promise just now true?"

"You know I'm not going to go to Tosai, so it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's time for me to stand with them. ”

Shangguan Ru let out a long breath and showed a relaxed smile, "In this kind of thing, I always can't see clearly. ”

"I'm going to kill someone, don't you object?"

"I'm not a monk. Shangguan Ru had thought of this question a long time ago and had already prepared the answer in advance, "And you are not a demon who kills innocents indiscriminately, so I have nothing to worry about." ”

The entanglement of intrigue and intrigue, the tension of imminent killing, and the meaningful smile in those eyes mixed into a subtle atmosphere like a midnight fragrance, and before Gu Shenwei could understand, he had lost control and took her into his arms, not even hearing what she had just said.
