Naturally, Mangduo couldn't hear anyone coming this way, but the expression of Suo Gutu, the great ceremonial official, made him feel surprised. He frowned and said: "We came here to buy medicinal materials just to develop a way to deal with the epidemic.
Why does the Grand Priest think that He Gu already has the antidote?"
The Grand Officer took two steps back, but his expression was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and he sneered: "At this point, if you are still lying, you are so reckless, the Great Chanyu will definitely cut out your tongue."
Mang Duo's face changed drastically.
It wasn't that he was scared because he had his tongue cut off, it was just that as a messenger congratulating his bones, it was simply unbelievable that the chief minister would threaten him like this.
After all, the two departments are still allies. Even if there are conflicts and conflicts of interest between them, they must at least take care of their face and cannot exchange such harsh words.
He was about to speak, but he felt dizzy, and his eyes were a little blurry. At first, he thought he was just angry, but then he felt that all the strength in his body disappeared instantly, his legs became weak, his body swayed, and one of them could not stand steadily and was paralyzed.
Sit down.
When Qin Xiao saw this, he was surprised and said: "Qijin!" He rushed forward to help him up, but he just took a step forward, stumbled, and actually fell to the ground.
However, the chief ceremonial officer had quickly stepped back and stood at the tent door, asking: "What's going on? What...are you doing?"
"I...I have no strength, I'm dizzy...!" Mangduo was about to explain, but suddenly he woke up, supported the ground with one hand, barely allowed himself to lie down, stared at the Great Ceremony Officer, and said angrily
"Suogu Tu, you...what did you do?" He turned to look at Qin Xiao and saw Qin Xiaoruan lying on his side on the ground, feeling horrified.
Of course he already understood at this time that if nothing else happened, both he and Muka Hito would be poisoned.
Kumiss!
He couldn't help but look at the kumiss on the table.
The most likely reason why he and Muka Hito were poisoned at the same time was because they had just drank kumiss.
However, the grand official also drank, and drank two bowls. If the wine was poisonous, why is Suo Gutu safe now?
He was angry and worried at the same time.
What makes me angry is that the other party would resort to such means.
Of course, grassland tribes sometimes use poison, but this kind of thing is actually not that common. After all, such small tricks are regarded as sinister and despicable acts. No matter what the reason is, if the despicable method of using poison is used, once someone is caught
You know, he must have been ruined and infamous throughout the prairie.
If there is any grudge, the most admired method among prairie people is to stab each other with a knife in an open and honest manner. The winner is certainly admired by others, but the loser will also be respected.
What Mang Duo is worried about is Muko.
He didn't care about his own life or death at this time, but about Qin Xiao's safety.
He is a close confidant of Ke Dun. On that day at the sacrificial altar, Ke Dun was in a desperate situation. Many tribal leaders had left. Only a few people stayed with Ke Dun and were willing to follow Ke Dun to death. Mandou was one of the few.
a member of.
He naturally knows Qin Xiao better than more He Gu people, and also knows how important Qin Xiao is to He Gu.
Ke Dun entrusted Qin Xiao to him, and he took Qin Xiao to meet Bu Liuda's great Chanyu in the name of an envoy. But now he has not seen the great Chanyu, but Xiang Rihu has been poisoned and is in a desperate situation. This is natural
It made Mang Duo anxious and worried.
He knew that Kazuto was an accomplished martial artist and a cautious person. If he hadn't seen that he was very familiar with the official and seemed to have a good friendship, Kazuto might not have drank the cup of kumiss. Therefore, in his opinion, Kazuto would have
If you are poisoned by alcohol, you must bear great responsibility.
Only then did the chief minister show a strange smile, and without talking nonsense, he actually turned around and walked out of the felt tent.
Seeing him leaving, Mang Duo was a little surprised, but he looked at Qin Xiao and whispered: "Xiang Hihu, how are you...how are you?"
Qin Xiao did not speak, but his face turned red and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing this, Mang Duo was even more worried. At this moment, he heard shouts from outside, and someone shouted: "Don't move, drop your weapons, or you will be shot immediately!"
"What are you going to do?" someone yelled angrily: "We are members of the He Gu Mission. If you do this, He Gu will not spare you."
People outside screamed, and Mang Duo felt even colder in his heart.
Although he couldn't see what was happening outside, he naturally guessed that Master Buliu had already brought the rest of the group under control.
Such behavior is tantamount to directly breaking up and fighting each other.
The alliance between He Gu and Bu Liuda has existed for many years, but recently Bu Liuda has been fighting with each other. Mang Duo was naturally shocked.
After a while of noise, the tent door was suddenly opened, and several Buliuda warriors rushed into the tent, all holding scimitars. When they saw Qin Xiao and Mang Duo lying on the ground, they immediately stepped forward and surrounded them.
live.
Mang Duo said sternly: "You are so bold, Ke Dun... Ke Dun knows that he will not give up!" However, his strength disappeared, and this voice had no power, and was soft and without momentum.
"Ketun?" A voice came from outside, "That goblin insists on her beauty, but she lives with the Tang people and causes trouble in the grassland. Even if I kill you all now, what can she do?"
Two warriors opened the tent door, one on the left and the other on the right. A man in fur walked slowly into the tent, followed by several people. One of them was wearing a fur coat, but he actually wore a mask on his face.
Short and thin, the fur man was tall and the masked man stood next to him, looking increasingly thin and short.
"Xilin Khan!" Mang Duo saw the fur man and said in a panic: "It was you who gave the order...the order!"
The man in fur is none other than Buliuda Sirin Khan Turoch.
Below the Great Chanyu of Buliuda, there are Donglin Khan and Xilin Khan.
Donglin Khan controls the undead army and is responsible for tribal military affairs, while Xilin Khan assists the Great Chanyu in handling tribal government affairs. They are quite similar to the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but they also hold real power in their hands.
Historically, Donglin Khan was appointed by relatives of the Great Chanyu, while Xilin Khan was decided by the heads of various tribes through discussion. The candidate must not only have sufficient prestige and qualifications, but also have extraordinary wisdom.
Therefore, in the minds of Buliuda people, Donglin Khan is synonymous with brave people, while Xilin Khan is synonymous with wise men.
Just like every clan has a wise Abhikar, Sirin Khan is the Abhikar of the entire Buliuda tribe.
Xilin Khan Turoch ignored Mangduo, but stared at Qin Xiao lying on the ground, looked at it carefully, and then winked at a warrior next to Qin Xiao. The warrior immediately stepped forward and squatted down.
He lowered his body and very roughly removed the cloth from Qin Xiao's face, revealing Qin Xiao's face.
When Mang Duo saw this, he was even more shocked.
"Mangdu, why are you following a Tang Dynasty man next to you?" Xilin Khan smiled half-heartedly, but his tone was calm: "If you let a Tang Dynasty man follow you, will you take him with you to meet the Great Chanyu tomorrow? Arrive.
At that time, did he want to kidnap the Great Chanyu or assassinate the Great Chanyu?"
Mang Duo was even more horrified and immediately said: "Xilin Khan, you misunderstood, we just have important matters to meet with the Great Chanyu, there is absolutely no malice!"
"Do you think Ben Khan will believe it?" Xilin Khan said calmly: "Mang Duo, I am asking you, who is he?"
Mang Duo frowned and glanced at Qin Xiao. He saw Qin Xiao lying on the ground. Although his eyes were open, he didn't say a word.
"You don't want to say it?" Xilin Khan said with a sneer, "If you don't tell me, I know who he is." He glanced at the people around him and said, "Have you ever heard of Long Ruijun?"
Everyone nodded.
"As long as you have heard of it, this man is Qin Xiao, the general of the Long Rui Army." Xilin Khan said slowly: "His head is more precious than ten thousand taels of gold."
As soon as these words came out, Mang Duo was even more horrified.
Qin Xiao's identity is of course a secret.
Even in Hegu, there are only a handful of people who know Qin Xiao’s true identity. People only know that he is Hegu Xianghidou, a warrior from the Tang Dynasty. As for Qin Xiao’s true identity, even among the tribes
The leader, that is almost unknown.
The dozen or so people in the He Gu Mission, except for Mang Duo, who was Ke Dun's confidant and knew Qin Xiao's true identity, the others only knew that they came to Buliuda with Xiang Hito, and had no idea that Qin Xiao was the Tang Dynasty.
's general.
At this time, Xilin Khan actually revealed Qin Xiao's true identity in one sentence. How could Mang Duo not be surprised?
"He is indeed Xilin Khan, who is praised as a wise man by Buliuda people." Qin Xiao's voice was also weak. He seemed to have used all his strength to sit up, looked up at Xilin Khan, and sighed: "Xilin Khan, using poison is so despicable.
Aren't you afraid of insulting your own reputation?"
Xilin Khan said: "If you want to subdue the tiger, of course you need to use means. I have heard a lot about you. It is said that the Prince of Bohai went to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to set up a competition. There were many casualties in the Tang Dynasty, and no one was his opponent. But in the end, the Prince of Bohai
But he died under the sword of General Qin. On the bank of Galiang River, two hundred bone-crushers fought a bloody battle with two hundred wolf-slayers. Both sides were almost killed, but General Qin killed the most enemies but survived in the end. These deeds are all true.
Yes, it can be seen that General Qin is indeed a warrior who is one in ten thousand. When dealing with a master like you, of course you cannot be careless."
"It seems that Xilin Khan knows me very well." A smile appeared on Qin Xiao's lips, but he glanced at the masked man and said: "There is no poison in the wine, but poison in the bowl. You should neglect the envoy first, and then
The Grand Priest came over to express his apology, intending to accompany the wine to apologize. He drank from the same pot of wine, so that we could lose our guard and feel that nothing would happen. However, the Grand Priest's wine bowl was not poisonous.
The wine bowl had been tampered with in advance. The kumiss was non-toxic in the wine bottle, but when poured into the wine bowl, it became poisonous immediately."
Xilin Khan smiled and said: "Yes, General Qin is really like the legend. Not only is he brave, but he is also full of wisdom. But no matter how smart you are, you still failed to defend yourself, and now you still fall to the ground?"
"Xilin Khan, is this a trick you came up with, or is there someone who is giving you advice?" Qin Xiao smiled instead of getting angry, "I always feel that a noble person like Xilin Khan would not come up with such a sinister trick. Only that
Only a despicable, shameless and shameless villain would come up with such a dirty trick."
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man let out a strange laugh and said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit, Qin Xiao, you are the one who leads the troops, but you don't even understand this truth?"
"I was still thinking just now, why did your ministry take action against the envoy?" Qin Xiao said: "Even if it comes against me, Bu Liuda and I don't seem to have any deep hatred, so why should we be so rude? Now I suddenly understand
Come here, if my guess is correct, the guy next to Xilin Khan who dares not even show his face should be from the Queen Mother's Association, right? The Queen Mother's Association has never seen the light of day, and only dares to hide underground like mice.
Sneaky, this kind of dirty trick of playing tricks on the wine bowl is really in line with the temperament of the Queen Mother Society."
The masked man said coldly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Qin Xiao, now you are a lamb to be slaughtered. It will be easy for me to kill you. The means are not important at all. What is important is that the goal can be achieved."
"So you admit that you are a member of the Queen Mother's Congregation?" Qin Xiao smiled calmly, looked at Xilin Khan and said: "I'm just curious, how could a powerful tribe like Buliuda be controlled by a mere Queen Mother's Congregation, and would not hesitate to tear apart the relationship with them?
He Gu's covenant, take action against the He Gu mission? Xilin Khan, do you know what doing this means to Bu Liuda? Don't you worry about the consequences? "
Xilin Khan said coldly: "Are you trying to tell me that if we kill you, that goblin Luantan Nuyun will lead He Gu to fight against Bu Liuda for you? Don't worry, even if she doesn't come to us,
We also have to go find her and cut that slutty fox into pieces with a thousand knives!"
