Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 200 Kidnapping
In front of Li Ke's eyes, these bonfires were also distributed in a circle.

On the outermost edge are some small bonfires, with more than ten people sitting around them.

Among the small bonfires, there was the largest bonfire on the innermost side, and there were nearly 30 people around the bonfire.

Beside the fire in the middle, a tall man was sitting, holding a pottery cup in his hand, which seemed to contain some liquid, which should be some kind of wine brewed by the Tubo people themselves.

Behind him, there were two women in simple clothes, holding clay pots in their hands, respectfully refilling the man's wine from time to time.

And the other people sitting around the fire would lower their bodies and talk to the man from time to time, all with respectful expressions.

Li Ke thought to himself, this person should be a person of great status in the tribe.

He wanted to get closer and listen to what those people said, so that at least he could distinguish the identity of that person.

But there was no shelter around, and the bonfire was very bright, so there was nowhere to hide.

Li Ke sighed, gave up on these bonfires, and planned to search both sides again to see if he could find the tribal leader.

At this moment, I saw the tall man stood up leisurely and walked towards the woods beside him. The two maid-like women also followed him, holding a torch to illuminate the man.

Li Ke was overjoyed, and simply sneaked into the woods, intending to arrest the three people first, and ask about the situation.

He saw that the man was distinguished and young, so he reckoned that it should be Mo Tuo, the eldest son of the tribal leader.

When I touched it, I could smell a strange smell and hear a rustling sound from a long distance away.

The man was holding on to the tree trunk to relieve himself. He was obviously a little drunk and could not stand firmly, so he had to rely on the help of the maid on the side.

"Damn it! This Ji Ye is really a waste, asking him to stop... stop those Tang people, this is impossible!"

The man was muttering, and Li Ke listened, and was even more delighted.

The Ji Ye he scolded was the second son of the leader of the Khan tribe, if he dared to scold Ji Ye in front of the people around him, then this person should be the eldest son of the leader, Mo Tuo!

At this time, Na Motuo had finished releasing, he rubbed his hands on his clothes, and then turned around and put his arms around the two maids.

This man was dishonest, his hands were rubbing oil on the maids from time to time, and now he had reached into the clothes of one of the maids and kneaded them.

"Lord Moto, no...don't...here..."

Hearing this, Li Ke became more confident. With a little step on his feet, he easily jumped off the tree and jumped behind the three people.

Then without waiting for these people to speak out, Li Ke quickly made a move, knocking all three of them unconscious with two blows.

Putting the two maids aside, he carried the Moto again, turned around and floated away.

He struggled on his way, leaping over the trees from time to time, bypassing the sentry all the way, and ran out of the valley.

It wasn't until dawn that Li Ke finally came out of the valley, put the motorcycle on his horse, and he headed straight for the camp.

After returning to the camp, he immediately ordered Gu Wu to send someone to the valley to invite the tribal leader to talk.

Now that he has tied up his eldest son, he is naturally qualified to negotiate terms with him.

Li Ke's idea was to force the tribe to surrender directly and submit to himself.

If the other party refuses, then simply kill Mo Tuo and force the leader to lead the army to confront him head-on.

As long as he leaves the valley under the atmosphere, the Shu army will naturally not be afraid of him.

This plan really took effect, and at noon, the other side sent a reply, asking him to send someone to negotiate.

Naturally, Li Ke would not agree. Now that he is taking the initiative, he naturally wants the other party to come out of the valley to talk.

After going back and forth, the two sides finally agreed to start negotiations at the entrance of the valley.

Another day later, early in the morning, Li Ke led the cavalry to the entrance of the valley.

As soon as we got to the entrance, we saw many people gathered in the valley, the first ones were two people riding war horses.

These two people are old and young, the young one, the last time Li Ke saw him, was the second son Ji Ye.

The old one is naturally the leader of the tribe, and he has reached Hantai.

This Dahantai is dressed in bear skin and wearing antlers, just like a savage.

"You are Li Ke, king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty?"

He said coldly.

Li Ke chuckled lightly: "It's the king!"

Da Hantai said again: "What are you trying to do by taking my son away?"

Li Ke chuckled, and beckoned to order Na Motuo to come.

This Moto kept struggling, but now he was bound by the rope, his mouth was gagged, and he could no longer break free.

Only then did Li Ke speak: "My army wants to use you to pass through the valley. I heard that your department is going to set up an ambush to stop me?"

Da Hantai frowned, looked at Mo Tuo again, finally nodded and said: "Not bad!"

He didn't say much, and he didn't react much when Motuo appeared just now, which surprised Li Ke a bit.

Taking care of Wu Tan's news, this Dahantai is a violent person. Such a person can remain so calm when he sees his son tied up.

He is acting like this now, obviously because he doesn't want to be held hostage by Li Ke.

Li Ke raised his hand, and someone pulled Moto back.

Nada Handai kept staring at Motuo, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Li Ke smiled in his heart, this old thing couldn't be pretended after all.

He said leisurely: "My request is very simple. Your Wohan tribe will submit to me and act according to my orders. The day when our Shu army captures Luoxie is the time when Motuo will return!"

This request sounds simple, but Li Ke himself knows that it is certainly not simple, and Motuo may not agree.

But he naturally wants to leave some room for bargaining.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Da Hantai frowned and waved his hands: "No way! The Wohan Department will never be controlled by others!"

He turned back and looked at his second son, and then said: "I can have someone take you across the valley and let you go to Medog City!"

"Humph! Joke!"

Li Ke raised his chin: "If my Shu army really wants to cross the valley, can you stop me?"

He then glanced at the tribesmen behind Dahandai. Although they held weapons in their hands and looked extremely fierce, they had neither horses nor armor, so they seemed a bit weak.

"Then how are you going?"

Dahantai's voice was a little higher, already a little anxious.

Li Ke thought for a while, and said, "How about... you let me go, and release Motuo when my army captures Medog City?"

This is Li Ke's bottom line. What he is most worried about is that once he leaves the valley, he will be attacked by Medog City and Wohan.

Although the city of Medog has only [-] troops, and the strength of the Khan tribe is not enough, the two armies can make the Shu army drink a pot.

"This……"

Da Handai didn't reply immediately, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked at his second son Ji Ye again.

Li Ke could already see that Dahantai's calm demeanor today was all the idea of ​​his second son Ji Ye.

At this time, Naji also came forward on horseback, and he opened his mouth slowly: "You said you would release Motuo, how can we believe you? If you won the city of Medog, and you didn't keep your word, then I'm sorry." How does the Khan deal with himself?"
