Therefore, Xue Rengui and all the guards deliberately looked ferocious, swung their bright riding whips in their hands, and walked slower and slower, in order to deliberately put pressure on Ashinage and others.
Sure enough, a few Turks couldn't bear it any longer. They yelled, stood up, and tried to run back.
The look in the eyes of these Tang people made them feel that they would definitely work hard. If they really received twenty lashes, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would have to lie down for many days before they could recover.
"ah……"
However, before those Turkic barbarians could reach the rear window, several steel crossbows were inserted into everyone's body, especially their legs.
The few remaining Turks quickly turned around to look, and couldn't help but follow closely. In the hands of these Tang people, they actually carried a kind of small steel crossbow. The arrows on the steel crossbow shone with cold light. At first glance, it was a murderous weapon, and its power was not to be underestimated.
watch for.
"Hey, why don't you continue running?"
Holding a steel crossbow in his hand, Cheng Chusi said with a stern look on his face.
Ever since the master asked for this kind of steel crossbow, they have only practiced shooting at targets and have never used it to kill anyone.
This is a Turkic hozen, and it's much more enjoyable to shoot than a bull's-eye.
On the sidelines, Ashinage felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that these young men, who seemed to be the most noble, had such sharp weapons in their hands. In this way, they really had no hope of escaping.
Then, he turned around and glanced at Wang Fei beside him.
However, what made him despair was that they learned that the steward of the Wang family, who was very powerful in the Tang Dynasty and could influence many ministers, was as if he saw a natural enemy, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
"Your Highness, King Jin, spare your life!"
"Where do you start with this statement?"
Li Xuan was startled and said with a gentle expression: "I just want to punish you a little, but I won't kill you. Moreover, killing you and other hozens will also dirty my hands. You and other hozens."
You have rough skin and thick flesh. As long as you accept the punishment honestly, a mere twenty lashes will only scratch your itch."
With that said, Li Xuan looked at Xue Rengui who was standing aside again, and ordered: "These Turkic barbarians are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Take off your clothes and then whip them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui and the guards' eyes lit up.
Ashnag and other Turkic barbarians couldn't help but look even more desperate. They looked at Li Xuan with fear. Is this His Highness the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty a devil? How could he act more viciously than them?
However, under the threat of steel crossbows in the hands of Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others, and under the supervision of Xue Rengui personally, Ashinag and other Turkic barbarians did not dare to make any small moves.
Therefore, Xue Rengui and other personal guards were allowed to roughly tear off the clothes of Ashinage and others, just like they treated the slaves in the tent, revealing purple-black skin covered with jet-black hair, and looked at everyone
Everyone looked disgusted.
Even Ashinage and the others could faintly hear all kinds of laughter and discussion coming from outside the house, which made Ashinage and the others filled with resentment and helplessness.
Xue Rengui ignored this and directly waved the riding crop in his hand and whipped it towards Ashinage in front of him.
Bang bang...
The whip was applied to the flesh, and every time the whip was struck, Ashnag and other Turkic barbarians just made a dull sound without shouting.
However, they didn't know it, and they gritted their teeth and endured it. The strength in the hands of Xue Rengui and the guards became stronger.
The King, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all the diners in Zuixian Tower were all watching.
If they don't beat the bones of these Turkic barbarians to softness, how can they protect the king and be his personal bodyguards?
They didn't care whether they would beat these Turkic barbarians to death.
That's because these Turkic hozens can't trap themselves, but it's not the king's intention to kill these Turkic hozens.
After more than ten lashes, some Turks were already bloody and bloody.
"ah……"
A Turkic barbarian finally couldn't help crying.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining Turks also started howling.
Outside the house, all the diners in Zuixianlou could not help but burst into laughter.
Soon, twenty lashes were finished.
The Turkic barbarians, including Ashnag, were all weak, with blood marks all over their bodies and white bones visible.
Many barbarians exhale when they are full of energy and inhale when they are not.
After the last whip fell, several figures squeezed in from the door. Each figure was panting, as if they had just come all the way.
"Wei Yun, Minister of Honglu Temple, is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Jin, and His Highness the King of Wei!"
"The villain Wei Siyan has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin..."
"See you at Wu Houpu, the villain..."
Li Xuan just nodded lightly to the few officials and dignitaries who happened to arrive.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Wei Yun, Wei Siyan and others all looked startled.
Immediately, he bowed his hands to Li Xuan and saluted with a look of fear on his face.
"The villain is so frightened that he keeps the king waiting!"
In fact, they had already come to Zuixian Tower.
However, after just taking a look inside, he was frightened by the two Turkic heads at the door and did not dare to go in.
Maybe Li Xuan didn't know it, but in the eyes of the powerful people in Chang'an City, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was a ferocious beast, and they were afraid of getting into trouble.
After punishing all the Turkic barbarians, a few people quickly and cautiously squeezed in to pay homage to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at Wei Siyan and asked, "Are you the owner of this restaurant?"
"Back to Your Highness Prince Jin, Zuixian Tower is the villain's property!" Wei Siyan quickly replied.
"I was a bit heavy-handed today. I accidentally smashed a door on your floor and splattered some blood. Someone from my palace will send you compensation soon."
Li Xuan said.
Wei Siyan's face was full of fear, and he refused repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Your Majesty uses this restaurant to punish the Turkic barbarians. It is your blessing. How dare you charge your Majesty for compensation!"
"What?"
Li Xuan glared, startling Wei Siyan.
"Am I the kind of scoundrel? Why don't you accept compensation from me? Do you think you look down on me?"
"The king is joking, I will accept it now, I will accept it now!"
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and walked out on his own.
"The Minister of Honglu Temple and Wu Houpu will leave these barbarians to you. I didn't expect that it would take so much effort to deal with these Turkic barbarians. It's really a torment!"
"I respectfully obey the instructions of His Highness King Jin!"
Wei Yun quickly responded with his hands raised.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already walked out of the room.
All the diners outside the house subconsciously moved out of the way.
Later, when Li Xuan took Li Chengqian and others downstairs, someone shouted.
"Your Majesty is brave!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is absolutely right. We, the Tang Dynasty, will never make peace with each other, make indemnities, cede territory, or pay tribute!"
"How can those lowly barbarian vassals marry me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Not even women from the Tang Dynasty!"
"I would rather die in battle than send my Princess of the Tang Dynasty to get married!"
"Never make peace, never pay indemnity, never cede territory, never pay tribute..."
The sound was louder than the other, and soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
The soldiers, in particular, were even more excited. They wished they could catch a few barbarians and slaughter them. They were so frightened that all the barbarians from the vassal state hid in their rooms in Chang'an City and did not dare to leave the house for several days.
And just when Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others were preparing to leave the city and return to Lijiazhuang.
In Tai Chi Palace and Liang Yi Palace.
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others also received detailed reports from Li Wei.
Especially the sentence 'The Tang Dynasty will never make peace, make indemnities, cede territory, or pay tribute; the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country!'
