Changsun Sheng said that he did not dare. He stood up and bowed to Chu Yunfei and said: "Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five Supreme Being, how can you call yourself a brother to a humble minister? A humble minister would never dare to take this responsibility."
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said: "Brother Changsun, please be patient. Even if I am the emperor, it doesn't matter. It won't affect our private friendship."
Changsun Sheng had no choice but to sit down, and Chu Yunfei continued: "Uncle Ma, what do you think we should do? He followed my order to build the canal, but unexpectedly he was criticized and aroused public anger. It is not enough not to kill him."
The common people are angry, I wonder if Brother Changsun can teach me?"
Changsun Sheng thought about it carefully, and then he understood Chu Yunfei's intention. If he did not kill, the people would not be angry. This did not mean that he had to kill, but that the people's anger must be quelled.
Changsun Sheng already knew in his heart that killing Uncle Ma was just a gesture by Chu Yunfei. He had already taken the matter on himself. All he had to do was to give an explanation to the ministers and the people. This matter was not difficult in the first place.
, as long as Ma Shumou, the scapegoat, is killed, everything will be over. However, Chu Yunfei's intention is also very obvious. Ma Shumou is here on my behalf, you can't kill him.[
Thinking of this, Changsun Sheng already had a plan in his mind. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. This small matter can be solved by my subordinates. I will explain it to General Ma."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "I really need someone with both civil and military skills to protect me. It's a pity that Brother Changsun is the pillar of the imperial court. Otherwise, I would have wanted to ask Brother Changsun to come and guard my harem.
.”
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly, raised his head and glanced at Chu Yunfei, nodded and said: "Of course His Majesty's safety is the top priority, and I will definitely find a way to solve it."
Chu Yunfei nodded, waved his hand to the chamberlain, and ordered him to write an imperial edict. The words were sharp, scolding Ma Shumou for making decisions without authorization and torturing the people. However, the emperor's kindness was great and he cared about heaven's heart. Therefore, Ma Shumou's family members would not
After being investigated, Ma Shumou must be beheaded immediately in public to appease the world.
At that moment, Chang Sun Sheng took the order and left. Chu Yunfei closed his eyes and meditated. The evil power in his body surged up again. He held the hilt of the Shura knife tightly and his body began to tremble slightly.
The weather is finally getting warmer and the cold winter is finally over.
Chu Yunfei became even thinner. Throughout the winter, the evil force was constantly eroding his body. He tried his best to use his kung fu to resist it, and tried every means to delay the time when he was controlled by the evil force. At the same time, he promulgated decrees and ordered the troops to be in full swing.
, prepare for the battle in Tuyuhun.
On the northwest prairie, a stag was running hard with all four hooves spread, making one or two wails from time to time.
Hundreds of knights shouted loudly: "Long live the Khan! Long live the Khan!"
The young Ba Yegu followed closely with his horse, shouting softly, and the horse chased the stag diagonally.
He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, only to hear a whooshing sound, and the sharp arrow flew out, hitting the stag's neck. The stag let out a mournful cry, its hooves gave way, and fell to the ground with a plop, and blood flowed out from its neck.
.
The young Khan raised his bow proudly, and the knights shouted: "Long live the Khan! Long live the Khan!"
A smile appeared on Ba Yegu's face. He waved his hands and said: "Brothers, we have tidied up the wild deer. Let's have a party tonight!"
The soldiers shouted in response and rushed towards the wild deer.
At this time, more than a dozen war horses appeared in the distance. Immediately they were knights all wearing black helmets. The war horses were galloping rapidly, and the direction they were heading was exactly the direction of Ba Yegu and his party.
Ba Yegu frowned slightly. He was always familiar with the knights on the northwest prairie, but the costumes of these people were very unfamiliar.
He waved his hand, and a warrior rushed out on horseback, shouting loudly: "Who is it? Stop!"
More than ten knights reined in their horses, and one knight shouted loudly: "We are the envoys of the Sui Dynasty, asking to see the ancient Khan Ba Ye!"
Ba Yegu narrowed his eyes slightly, what? An envoy from the Sui Dynasty? [
He hummed and said, "Let them come over."
After hearing this, the warrior turned around and led more than ten knights to Ba Yegu.
Ba Yegu glanced coldly at the dozen or so Sui Dynasty sergeants. The dozen or so sergeants were all wearing black helmets and black armor. Although their faces had a dusty look, they were all in good spirits.
One of the soldiers in the middle took a step forward, bowed his hands to Ba Yegu and said, "Khan, Sun Sheng, the chariot general of the Sui Dynasty, has met Khan."
Ba Yegu nodded and said: "Chang Sun Sheng? Your emperor sent you to the northwest grassland. Why are you doing this?"
Changsun Sheng waved his hand back, and a sergeant opened the package and handed the box inside to Ba Yegu with both hands.
Ba Yegu glanced at the box, but did not take it. He just said to Changsun Sheng: "General Changsun, there is an old saying in your country that merit is not rewarded. How can Bayegu be so virtuous? How dare you become an envoy to the state?
The gift?”
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly and said: "This is the wish of our lord. If King Khan resigns, he will not give our lord face."
Ba Yegu snorted coldly and looked at Changsun Sheng with a pair of hawk-like eyes. Changsun Sheng had a faint smile on his face, but the sharpness in his eyes was no less sharp than that of Bayegu.
The two looked at each other, sparks bursting out, and Ba Yegu finally smiled and said: "General Changsun, you are a guest from afar. Xiao Wang just shot a fat deer, and he invited General Changsun to taste it."
With that said, Ba Yegu waved his hand to his warriors and ordered them to take the box.
Changsun Sheng turned to look at the stag and saw a golden feather arrow stuck squarely in the stag's neck.
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly and said: "King Khan is really good at martial arts, but I am from afar, how can I have the audacity to bother the King of Han? Since I was given a gift by King Khan, in return, I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and I hope King Khan will not dislike it."
While talking, Chang Sun Sheng took off the bow and arrow from his body.
Ba Yegu frowned slightly. There were no wild beasts around. He wondered what Chang Sun Sheng meant when he suddenly took off his bow and arrow.
I saw Chang Sun Sheng bending his bow and setting an arrow, with the tip of the arrow pointing into the air.
Ba Yegu looked up into the sky and saw a group of wild geese flying in two rows to the south.
Ba Yegu was slightly startled. This was a flying bird in the sky. It would be many times more difficult to shoot it than to kill a stag.
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly, loosened his fingers, and with a whooshing sound, the long arrow in his hand flew quickly into the air!
All the warriors looked up in the air and saw sharp arrows flying out. A moment later, two geese screamed in unison and fell diagonally to the ground!
When the arrow shot out, all the Tiele warriors cheered loudly, and Ba Yegu was even more shocked and moved. He couldn't help but hold his fist towards Changsun Sheng and said: "General Changsun's magical skills are amazing, and Bayegu admires him very much!"
With that said, Ba Yegu turned over and dismounted, and said to the warriors behind him: "Dismount, I have seen the noble envoy of the superior country!" [
The most respected people on the northwest prairie are heroes. Changsun Sheng's arrow established his reputation in the northwest prairie, and the name of the divine arrow was fixed on him.
When Changsun Sheng saw Ba Yegu dismounting, he also got off his horse, bowed to Ba Yegu and said: "King Khan, please don't do this. King Khan is a famous hero in the grassland. I am just trying to do whatever I want."
, not worthy of King Khan’s smile.”
Ba Yegu was overjoyed when he heard what he said. He stretched out his hand to hold Changsun Sheng's hand and said: "General Changsun is worthy of being the envoy of the kingdom. Come, come, I am worthy of the general brother. Tonight I will hold a banquet to welcome brother Changsun."
Wash off the dust!”
Changsun Sheng laughed and said: "King Khan, that's exactly what I meant. I'm just afraid of disturbing King Khan."
Ba Yegu laughed loudly and said: "I can't even invite the envoys of the higher country, including the barbarians, so how can I say that I am a nuisance?"
After saying that, the two of them were of similar size, each mounted his horse and galloped towards the Tiele tribe.
On the wall of the border city, Chu Yunfei looked quietly at the vast grassland in the distance, with a faint glare in his eyes.
Yu Wenshu took a step forward, bowed slightly to Chu Yunfei and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu, a small group of Tuyuhun's cavalry were discovered ahead. I don't know how to deal with them?"
Chu Yunfei turned to look at Yu Wenshu and said, "A small group? How many people are there?"
Yu Wen said: "Tanma reported that more than two hundred people were threshing grass in the valley."
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and said: "Throwing the grass valley? What grass valley? Mowing the grass? It's just been winter, why do we need to prepare the grass valley?"
Yu Wenshu looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Well, your Majesty, please calm down. Tuguhun and other thieves are robbing the people around them."
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "Aren't the people around here all the people of Tuyuhun?"
Yu Wenshu hesitated and said: "Well, Brother Chu, you don't know something. Within ten miles outside the city wall is the place of our Sui Dynasty. Some people often go to dig wild ginseng and collect some herbs.
Live here.”
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and hummed, so to speak, the so-called grass-grazing in the valley means that Tuyuhun soldiers came to kill and plunder the people of the Central Plains.
He raised his head and looked into the distance. On the horizon of the grassland in the distance, a line of black figures appeared. There were faint shouts and curses in the air. It was obvious that the soldiers of Tuyuhun were chasing the civilians of the Central Plains.
Chu Yunfei's eyes were filled with anger and he stared coldly ahead.
Yu Wenshu clearly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell where it started to go wrong, but there was a coldness all over his body, and he shuddered as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The noise slowly got closer, and the figures gradually became clearer.
Five or six middle-aged men were running desperately in front, followed by a dozen Tuyuhun warriors armed with swords and guns. These warriors were riding horses, and they were not chasing in a hurry. They were obviously chasing and killing these strong men for fun, and they made hahaha from time to time.
Laughing loudly, as if laughing at the embarrassment of these mature men when they ran away.
The fire in Chu Yunfei's eyes burned brightly. He waved his hand back and said, "Yu Wenshu."
Yu Wenshu hurriedly walked forward two steps: "I'm here."
Chu Yunfei pointed forward and said: "Let these people in!"
