Tubu's face was full of anger: "Brothers haven't eaten enough yet!"
Sana glared at him fiercely, turned to Quedu, and said kindly: "Young patriarch, you eat slowly. If it's not enough, ask your brothers to give you some more. After all, you are our young man."
Chief, we are all members of the same tribe, as long as I am here, no one will bully you."
Quedu raised his head in disdain, snatched the mutton from Tubu's hand and ate it.
Sana waved to the others and shouted: "Bring a few more pieces of mutton and let the young patriarch eat slowly."
The rule on the grassland is that the strong are respected. If something happens to the tribal leader, his son will definitely take over as the new leader. Of course, if the leader's son has reached adulthood, it will be a different matter, and Shekui's eldest son Que
Ducai was only a twelve-year-old boy. The reason why Sana did not compete for the position of leader was because Shekui was not dead, but was only detained by the Han people. In the evening, everyone saw that Shekui was
His body was hung on the big tree outside the royal court. Since Shekui was dead, others were naturally puzzled by Sana's sudden change in attitude.
Que Du was not polite. He took the mutton handed to him and continued to devour it. After a while, he snorted from his nostrils: "You guys know each other, don't worry. Considering that we are all of the same race, after today,
I won’t treat you badly either!”
Tubu sneered: "Do you think you are still the young patriarch? Even if you survive tonight, you will still be a slave. It is not certain who will take care of whom!"
Quedu sneered: "Then we'll see!"
Sana waved his hand and asked Sana to go away. Then he walked up to Quedu and whispered: "Young patriarch, don't listen to his nonsense. In the past, Sana had many things that he could not be sorry for, but now that he has fallen
At this point, we should support each other. If you have any ideas, why not speak up and let us discuss it together."
Que Du was very surprised by Sana's openness. He looked at him in surprise and found that he was much more pleasing to the eye than before. Then he nodded and said: "I'm just a kid, how can I get any ideas? It's just a gamble."
It's just a bet, maybe after tonight, I will be the prince of this Turkic grassland!"
"Baby" is Sana's always contemptuous term for Quedu. When Quedu said it today, it was clearly a mockery of Sana. Sana couldn't help but blush after hearing this, but soon frowned. He didn't mean it.
He actually wanted to serve Que Du as the master, but he just wanted to find out the truth. As a result, Que Du's words shocked him. Now, this grassland has a new owner, and Que Du's father Shekui has died.
There is only one possibility for you to become a prince!
Thinking of this possibility, despite the freezing cold weather, Sana's forehead still broke out with cold sweat. This possibility does exist, and it is in line with the rules on the grassland. As long as Quedu's mother is taken into account by the new Khan, and
Without this qualification of passing the wheel, one should become the son of the new Khan, that is, the prince of the grassland.
This discovery shocked Sana. He was able to gather so many people in the tribe to follow him, and he was also very clever. In his eyes, Quedu said these words to him, which was clearly half to win over and half to warn. Thinking of it.
He had been obedient to Que Du in the past, but if Que Du really became a prince, how could he be spared?
A hint of cruelty flashed in Sana's eyes, and he waved his hand and said: "You, you, you, you guys, give all the mutton to the young clan leader."
Quedu burped, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, I'm full. It's not easy for everyone to be hungry for so many days. You can divide the rest!"
Sana winked at Tubu: "Why don't you feed the young patriarch more!"
Tubu was shouted back by Sana just now, and he was just bored. Suddenly he heard Sana's order, and he was still a little confused. After Sana's repeated urging, he finally understood and rushed forward ecstatically.
, said with a ferocious smile: "Young Patriarch, please stop being so polite!"
Although Quedu was young, he was quite clever. He immediately realized that something was wrong, threw away the mutton in his hand, and ran towards the direction where the Han army was guarding.
These prisoners were all tough warriors, so the Han army guarded them very strictly and would rush to suppress them at the slightest sign of trouble. However, when Quedu ran six or seven steps away, the guarding Han soldiers turned around and headed towards
He walked in the other direction, seemingly not paying attention to what was going on here. In fact, these guards had already received Luo Yong's instructions. Even if they couldn't cause chaos, they had to create conditions to make them cause chaos so that they could take the opportunity to attack them. At this moment
, it was just a young man escaping, so the guards would naturally not make a big move, but would deliberately expose flaws so that the young man could run further and cause more prisoners to try to escape.
But the result surprised the guards. Several prisoners quickly dragged back the young man who was trying to escape. This was obviously not conducive to the completion of their mission. The guarding Han soldiers went further, trying to create a better environment for the prisoners.
Opportunity to escape.
Not far away, Luo Yong was also paying close attention to the situation here. He threw Quedu into the group of prisoners in Sana, originally hoping that the group of prisoners would bully Xi Quedu. Of course, the Han army had trouble with the prisoners from the beginning.
It was strictly forbidden to fight with each other, but not to stab someone intentionally. Therefore, Luo Yong just hoped that Que Du would be bullied and chose to escape. In this case, he would have a reason to order a suppression and quietly kill Que Du during the suppression. But he did not
Thinking of it, Quedu had never been hit, and someone even gave him mutton to eat.
However, for some unknown reason, Que Du suddenly ran towards the guard again, raising his hands, obviously wanting to ask for help. Fortunately, the guard reacted quickly and chose to stay away. Seeing Que Du being dragged and pulled back by several prisoners, Luo Yong secretly thought
Unfortunately, this is a missed opportunity.
Not far away, the prisoners had surrounded Quedu, and Luo Yong secretly made up his mind that even if Quedu survived, he would find a reason to kill him early in the morning!
More than two hundred prisoners were divided into several circles, surrounding Quedu in the middle. Sana pointed to a pile of mutton and sneered: "Young master, don't let down everyone's good intentions, eat it quickly!"
Quedu shook his head, glanced at everyone calmly, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm full!"
But Tubu couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hands to several of his cronies: "Stop dawdling, feed the young patriarch quickly!"
Several prisoners had already rushed forward, pressed Quedu to the ground, pried open his mouth, and forced the mutton inside, causing Quedu to lose his breath several times. Tubu laughed and said: "Just give it to the young patriarch.
Isn’t it too dry to eat mutton? Let’s feed him some water.”
One of the prisoners hesitated and said, "Sir, when we are thirsty, we just eat a few mouthfuls of snow. Where can we get him water to drink?"
Tubu scolded: "Idiot, you don't know how to pee on him?"
There was a burst of laughter from all around. Que Du was strong at this moment, gritting his teeth and enduring the insults, hoping that he could wait until dawn as soon as possible or attract the attention of the Han army guards.
As time passed, Luo Yong felt that the place was getting quieter. Finally he couldn't bear it any longer and rushed over with a group of soldiers, shouting: "What are you all gathering for? Do you want to rebel? Let's break up, break up!"
Although the prisoners behaved ferociously when faced with a young man like Que Du, they flinched when faced with the Han soldiers wielding swords and guns and retreated to both sides. In the middle of this group of prisoners, the tortured Que Du raised his head
Lying on the cold snow, my abdomen was swollen and round, my face was purple, and I could only breathe out, not in.
Luo Yong felt a burst of joy in his heart. Such a result was exactly what he needed, but it saved him a lot of means. But his face was still cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "What's going on? Don't you know that there was an order long ago, strictly prohibiting it?"
A private fight?"
The prisoners all lowered their heads and looked away. Only Tubu stepped forward and said nonchalantly: "Return to the general, this is our young clan leader. The clansmen love him so much that they save the mutton for him to eat. How could he do it?"
A private fight. But no one thought that he was so greedy that he died of swelling."
Luo Yong glanced at him and asked, "Is this really true?"
Tubu gritted his teeth, nodded vigorously and said: "The villain is willing to guarantee it with his life, it is true!"
Luo Yong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's just a prisoner who dies. If more than ten or twenty people die one day, I won't care about you. I hope you can settle down! Don't cause trouble for me!"
The prisoners kept shouting at Nuonuo, while Luo Yong led others to drag Quedu's body away.
…
At dawn the next day, Shi Danai finally woke up from his deep sleep and rubbed his slightly swollen head. When he turned his head, he saw Bisi kneeling beside the couch with red eyes. She couldn't help but frown and said, "What are you doing?
"
Bi Si hurriedly said: "The Great Khan was drunk last night, and my servant is here to serve the Great Khan."
Seeing Bi Si's clothes untied and her face looking haggard, Shi Danai nodded secretly: "Thank you for your hard work, get up quickly."
Bisi suddenly burst into tears and whispered: "I hope the Great Khan will take pity on my slave and spare Quedu's life. Even if the Great Khan does not want to accept him as his son, I can just let him be a slave."
Seeing Bisi's pitiful appearance, Shi Danai couldn't bear it. When he thought about it carefully, if he was a great Turkic Khan, if he was afraid of a child, it would be a loss to his reputation, so he couldn't help but help Bisi up and said:
"Don't worry, I have asked people to forgive him. As long as he is truly willing to recognize me as his father, he can still share the glory and wealth."
Bisi was overjoyed, struggled and knelt down again: "Thank you, the Khan, for your kindness."
With a smile on his face, Shi Danai shouted: "Here comes someone! Bring Quedu over, I want to see him."
A soldier opened the curtain and said loudly: "Qi Khan, Quedu died of a sudden illness last night!"
Bisi yelled and fainted.
"What are you talking about! Weren't you fine yesterday afternoon?" Shitanai was also surprised and stood up suddenly, "Luo Shixin, I'm not done with you!"
