The warriors on both sides were watching each other with vigilance and vigilance, holding spears or scimitars tightly in their hands. Just waiting for an order, a battle would begin immediately outside the capital of the Chinese Dynasty, and it would never end.
Seeing the tense situation, the officials and people watching inside the city gate ran back in panic. Then the heavy city gate slowly closed, and finally with a muffled "bang", the city gate was closed.
It is the nature of the Chinese people to love watching the excitement. After a while, the common people and officials quietly climbed up to the top of the city, leaned out half of their bodies, and quietly looked at the two sides confronting each other below the city.
The atmosphere was indescribably suffocating and dull. Thousands of people didn't make any sound. Feng Qiudao and the Turks leading him looked at each other. They all saw the overwhelming hatred in each other's eyes, and they held their hands tightly.
The knuckles of the knife handle turned white from excessive force.
Fang Zheng watched this scene coldly, as if he was completely unaware of the upcoming battle. After observing for a long time, he found that this group of Turks were impeccable in terms of their formation and tacit understanding of each other, and they were as close as each other.
It seemed like one person was acting alone. After calming down, Fang Zheng began to wonder. This group of people didn't look like two hostile parties.
The emperor's order for him was to simultaneously receive the envoys sent by the brothers Gu Duulu and Mochu, who were enemies of each other. The offensive and defensive formations of the group of Turks in front of him were so well coordinated that they definitely did not look like enemies of each other.
After thinking for a while, Fang Zheng suddenly said to Lu Hongwen: "Master Lu, go and ask which khan on the grassland they are as envoys."
After hearing no sound for a long time, Fang Zheng turned around and saw that Lu Hongwen's face was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking like chaff. How could he still bother to listen to Fang Zheng's words?
Fang Zheng couldn't help being angry and funny, Master, I haven't been scared yet, why are you so scared! It seems that I am not the only coward in Hua Dynasty. If there is a fight later, Master, I will use this guy as a shield, and I will
Fall and run first.
Patting Lu Hongwen's shoulder vigorously, Fang Zheng said with a straight face: "What are you afraid of? There are three thousand of us against two hundred of him, and one of us can drown them all in one pee. Go! Send me a message!"
Lu Hongwen had no choice but to tremble and cautiously take a step forward. He muttered a few words in Turkic dialect that he was not very fluent in. The alert look on the face of the leading Turkic man faded slightly, and he muttered a few more words.
.
Lu Hongwen wiped his cold sweat and said: "He said he was the envoy sent by the most noble and greatest Khan on the grassland, the Great Khan Mochu, named Datata. He also said that we Chinese people dared to kill their horses,
We have formed an sworn feud with them, and they will wash it away with our blood..."
Fang Zheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the following. People on the grassland are really wordy. Revenge is just revenge. They wash and brush. Those who don't know think that these gangs
This guy runs a car wash..."
Fang Zheng rubbed his chin and thought about it. Originally, it was agreed that there would be two groups, but now only one group has come. It is estimated that the other group is still on the way. We Huachao people don't have to compete with these fools, let them have two groups.
It's better to fight.
"Master Lu, ask the Turks if they want war or alliance? Give them a stick of incense time to think about it, and tell them if they want war, we will give them war! Let's start a fight here today with three thousand people.
Two hundred people, we can kill them all in a few rounds, and then we will form an alliance with Gudulu Khan. If we want to form an alliance, I will put away the broken iron pieces in their hands and shake them in a flash.
eyes."
Lu Hongwen hesitantly stepped forward and was waiting for translation. Feng Qiudao on the side looked impatient and pushed Lu Hongwen aside unceremoniously. He started chattering to the Turks himself.
Feng Qiudao had the potential to be a diplomat. When he spoke, his voice was stern, and his hand held the handle of the knife tightly, giving the impression that he would pull out the knife at any time and order the sergeants to attack. The originally chilling scene added a lot of violence and blood.
The leader of the Turks, Datata, had already turned livid. The scimitar in his hand was trembling slightly and flashing light. The scene was in a stalemate for half a stick of incense. Datata's expression kept changing, seeming to be hesitating and gritting his teeth.
, sometimes red and sometimes white, which surprised Fang Zheng.
"Then why is the stupid bird playing tricks there? Is it so difficult to decide?" Fang Zheng curled his lips disdainfully.
Wei Chengde stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The Turks are also in trouble. It seems that they are fighting fiercely on the grassland and are in urgent need of the help of an ally."
Finally, Datata looked up to the sky and roared, then yanked the sheepskin robe he was wearing hard, walked back and forth for several times like a crazy beast, finally vented his anger a little, and then said to the person behind him.
The Turkic companions said a few words, and the two hundred Turkic people who were on alert slowly put away the scimitars in their hands hesitantly after hearing Datata's words.
Then Datata chirped again and again to Fang Zheng.
Lu Hongwen took the initiative to come up to him with a happy face and said with a smile: "Master Fang, the Turkic people said that the minds of the men on the grassland are as broad as the sky, like a goshawk overlooking the earth..."
Fang Zheng interrupted him impatiently again: "Why are you so long-winded? Let's get to the point! Do they want to fight or make peace?"
Lu Hongwen was suffocated, then smiled and said: "The Turks said that they could forget about what happened just now. He wanted to ask Mr. Fang, can they enter the city now?"
Fang Zheng sneered, they just let it go. Master, I don’t want to let it go yet. Since you have given in, it’s time for me to be tough. Otherwise, how can I recover from the fright you gave me by galloping like horses just now?
Woolen cloth?
So Fang Zheng put on a smile and walked forward and said to Datata: "Welcome to the capital of the Hua Dynasty. Your envoy has had a hard journey, so please go to the city to rest first."
Lu Hongwen on the side translated Fang Zheng's words to Datata. Datata finally looked at Fang Zheng carefully this time, and his disdainful attitude towards him turned into a serious look.
He saw that Fang Zheng was young, dressed in court clothes, and had a fairly decent appearance, but he looked frivolous and slick, with a playful smile and no serious look. Datata couldn't help but wonder why the emperor of the Hua Dynasty would arrange for such an official to receive him
Do they have any hidden meaning in this move?
Before he could figure it out, Fang Zheng stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand to greet him. The two hundred Turks sheathed their swords and the three thousand sergeants slowly relaxed their guard. The two sides finally reached a superficial peace.
Fang Zheng introduced Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao to Datata. Wei Chengde bowed his hand lightly, but Feng Qiudao snorted coldly and ignored Datata.
Fang Zheng smiled at Datata and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. This is his temperament. The two of them will accompany you to the city. I have some business to do, so I will see you after finishing it."
After listening to Lu Hongwen's translation, Datata asked curiously: "What else do you want?"
Fang Zheng smiled slightly and did not answer him.
Turning around, pointing at the horse carcasses lying all over the ground, Fang Zheng said loudly to the three thousand sergeants: "Brothers, let me drain all the blood of these horses. All the horse blood will be sprinkled on this official road. From now on,
There are more rules on this road. Anyone who rides here and doesn’t slow down will be punished by the blood of these horses!"
The three thousand sergeants looked at each other, then responded loudly and excitedly, drew out their sabers, stabbed the horse corpse's belly fiercely, and bled the horse in front of the Turkic envoy.
The two hundred Turks who had already relaxed their guard were now really irritated. They screamed strangely and drew out their machetes, then rushed towards Fang Zheng like crazy.
The officials and people at the top of the city just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that the two sides had returned to a state of tension. They couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, and their hearts were so high again.
Young Master Fang was somehow not afraid this time. He stared at Datata with a smile on his greasy face, as if he was sure that he would react.
Datata's face twitched involuntarily a few times, and his eyes were so angry that he seemed to be spitting out fire. He stared at Fang Zheng, and finally yelled at the group of Turks, and the Turks became a little quieter.
, but the smell of fire between both sides was already extremely strong.
Datata said a few words to Fang Zheng with a sullen face and a hoarse voice. Lu Hongwen wiped his cold sweat while translating: "Master Fang... He said that horses are friends and comrades of their Turkic people. I hope you can bleed the horses."
You must give a reasonable explanation for the matter, otherwise he will report it to His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty and ask him to deal with you..."
Fang Zheng acted as if nothing had happened, and said to Datata with a smile: "Our emperor is very busy, so there is no need for you to complain about such a trivial matter. The rules of our court have always been like this. If anyone comes to the boundaries of the capital,
He also let the horse run wildly. According to the laws of our court, the horse must be killed and bled, no matter who it is, and if the envoys of Gudulu Khan are like you later, their horses will not be saved."
Lu Hongwen smiled bitterly and translated Fang Zheng's words to Datata. Datata looked angry after hearing the words "Messenger of Gu Duolu Khan", and finally gritted his teeth and held back. He remembered
For their Mochu Khan, the mission of coming to China this time to unify the grasslands was far more important than these two hundred horses - even more important than their dignity.
After shouting a few words, Datata, with a livid face, stormed into the city with two hundred angry and unwilling Turks.
Fang Zheng raised his middle finger towards Datata's back, then smiled and said to Feng Qiudao: "Brother Feng, you will ask someone to put up a sign next to the official road where the horse's blood was spilled, and write a few words on it.
, just write 'the barbarians dismounted', and this place will become a scenic spot from now on."
Feng Qiudao held back his laughter and nodded.
After speaking, Fang Zheng ran up quickly after Datata's back with a smile on his face, shouting as he ran: "Oh, Comrade, don't be angry, horses are speeding and running red lights are very dangerous, I am doing this for
