[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much
Chapter 101
The news that Dayan Khan was coming swept the entire Tatar army immediately. After they were terrified by Balsborough’s re-information, the news immediately calmed down the army’s morale. Go down and fight and retreat, and finally form a confrontation with the Ming army.
Taka and Jiao Shizhi were leisurely, because they came in halfway. Although they also shared a tent, they didn't have duties and didn't need to go to the battlefield.Every time you just need to act in the army, but Balsborough seems to be very interested in Jiao Shizhi, and he will call him over every two or three days. Fortunately, he will also summon Taka every time. Let the focal point be in an awkward position.
Jiao Shizhi can only understand simple Mongolian, and he doesn't know anything about conversations. After coming to the Tatar camp, Taka specially taught him these things in order to keep him secret.However, in order to accommodate him, Balsbrot specially switched to Chinese to talk to him, which is a bit strange.
After another banquet, Taka looked at Jiao Shi up and down, and said seriously: "I really don't see anything that attracts him from you? If he likes men, but I have been I haven't noticed this tendency. If you value your skill, why don't you go there now, that would be more beneficial to him?" Although he said so, he didn't really want to get Jiao Shizhi's answer , just because it was too boring.
Since the dozen or so Han people committed suicide, Jiao Shizhi's expression has been very dull, and he no longer has the faint smile that still hung on his face when he entered the camp.Although on the surface it seems to be as usual, but Taka has been with him day and night for more than a month, how can he not see that he is in a bad mood?
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and said intently: "Dayan Khan likes men?"
Taka frowned, "I've never heard of such a thing. If he likes men, where did the multiple sons come from?" Jiao Shizhi looked at Taka and said, "If this reason is not , then why do you think Balsborough calls me so frequently?"
But Taka didn't know the answer to this question.
Jiao Shizhi looked serious, paced slowly in the tent, and said after a long time: "He is suspicious of me."
As soon as these words came out, Taka's expression turned pale immediately, and he walked up to Jiao Shizhi in a few steps, and looked at him in disbelief, "What are you talking about?!"
Jiao Shizhi said calmly: "Although our conversation was impeccable, all the clues have been cut off now, only you and I have 'meeted' the emperor, and you passed the news to him. When I came here, it happened that you and I survived, and I am a Han again... Should this reason be enough?"
For a scapegoat.
Taka immediately understood what Jiao Shizhi meant, and staggered back a few steps, "No, Jinong wouldn't treat me like this, he..."
"He does believe in you, so for him, he is just looking for someone to take his place for his own protection. After all, he seems to be quite worried about the appearance of Dayan Khan." Jiao Shizhi showed no mercy It shattered the fantasy in Taka's heart and punctured Balsborough's real purpose.
Taka is not a fool, no matter how much he wants to deceive himself, Balsbrot's behavior during this time is really too abnormal.The relationship between them had been deformed three years ago. How could they still be in close contact with each other as before? Originally, he was wondering if there was something wrong with him, but he didn't expect Balsborough to have such thoughts!
Jiao Shizhi said seriously: "It seems that Balsbrot's intention is to find out if there are any flaws in me. If there are any flaws in me, he will take me down directly. If there are no flaws, maybe he needs to fabricate one or two. These are his affairs and have nothing to do with us. Taka, for the sake of our two lives, I hope you can seriously tell me who are Barrsborough's enemies."
Taka frowned, "If you talk about enemies, there are quite a few. But if you want to talk about whether he has any brothers to compete with him, there are two people who are more favored by Dayan Khan than him. . are his next two, Alsuborot and Alzuborod."
Jiao Shizhi read the names of the two people in his mouth, and said helplessly: "The similarity of the names of the two people is too high."
Taka snorted and said, "I have specially converted it into Chinese for you. You will only know what Chang is if you read it in Mongolian."
Dayan Khan came very fast, almost while they were still talking, the team had already appeared not far away.On the day they arrived, Balsborough led people to greet them in person, and the two armies joined together, causing Yanghe City to be on guard.
If it is said that Balsborough's experience can be said to be unintentional, but Borjijin came in person, but he can no longer use this reason as an explanation.Bor Jijin's status in Tatar was equivalent to the importance of Emperor Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. If he hadn't had some intention, how could he have left the Khan court and rushed here in person.
When he received this news, Wang Xun couldn't help but secretly lamented Emperor Zhengde's foresight. If he hadn't forced him to lead his troops to the north, Yanghe's troops would not be enough to resist.At that time, the decree was urgently issued, and Liaodong General Xiao Yu and Xuanfu Guerrilla General led their troops to garrison Juluobao and Tiancheng.Zhu Luan, the deputy general, and Zhou Zheng, the guerrilla general, were stationed in Pinglu, Weiwu and other places.
With the transfer of the team, the atmosphere in Yanghe became more and more tense. Emperor Zhengde frequently traveled to and from the city wall and post station. No matter how Wang Xun persuaded him, he insisted on standing on a high place and looking into the distance, as if he could see to something.
Three days later, Yanghe received the news of the Tatar army's mobilization, and instead of retreating, he moved forward another fifty miles, which directly shook the sensitive nerve of the border, and even made Wang Xun nervous.
The two jade balls on Emperor Zhengde's right hand were spinning slowly. These days, Zhu Houzhao's spinning became more and more handy, but he always held these two jade balls, and used Le Xiao as a target when he was free, which scared him It's choking.
"Your Majesty, please return to Beijing as soon as possible. The situation in Yanghe is becoming increasingly tense. It would be too dangerous for you to be here." Wang Xun persuaded with painstaking efforts.
Yang Tinghe also persuaded in the same way, "Your Majesty, you have now achieved the goal of the northern tour. Now that the border war is tense, please stop being casual. It is really not safe here. Please return to Beijing as soon as possible."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites followed closely behind, with a worried expression on his face, "Datong is no longer safe. I implore the emperor to put the country and the country as the most important thing, and the court as the most important thing, and set off to return to Beijing."
The ministers went on and on, hoping that the emperor could evacuate this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Emperor Zhengde leaned against the back of the chair, put both feet on the table, propped his chin with one hand, weighed the weight of the jade ball in his hand with the other, and said softly: "If I don't want to leave, anyone can leave, tell Wang Xun, Just send someone to send him away, don't say too much other things, it will be tiresome to hear."
The emperor's words have become more and more direct these days, and several veteran ministers frown frequently. Even Yang Tinghe, who has taught Emperor Zhengde and knows his habits well, can't bear it, let alone other people.
Yang Tinghe wanted to say something more, but Li Dongyang shook his head slightly at him, signaling not to mention it again.After the few of them went out, Yang Tinghe said angrily to Li Dongyang: "Master Shoufu, the emperor is so obsessed with obsession, why don't you persuade him more. The emperor may be able to listen to your words, but why..."
Li Dongyang sighed and said: "Don't you think the emperor is a bit strange recently?"
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then the Minister of the Household Department frowned and said: "Although the emperor is usually a little irritable, he will not be as moody as this time." The Minister of Rites also said, "That's right, although the emperor always likes to threaten people in the past. What, but they will not completely ignore the opinions of the courtiers, but during this period of time, almost all those who refute will be reprimanded, let alone accepting opinions, it is not bad if they do not go to prison."
Li Dongyang scanned these people for a year, endured and endured, and shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you find that someone is missing?"
Yang Tinghe said doubtfully, "Even if Jiao Shizhi is sent by the emperor to do something, but there are so many people around the emperor, it doesn't make any difference whether there is Jiao Shizhi or not."
Li Dongyang snorted softly, stretched out his hand and nodded on several people, "There is no difference, what you said just now is what you said yourself."
Yang Tinghe's face changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he seemed to think of something. Looking at Li Dongyang's face in shock, "Master Li, it's impossible..."
"Don't say anything." Li Dongyang gave him a warning look, "If you know it, you will know it. No matter what you want to do with it, I advise you not to move anything at this time. I suspect that Ren Zhi was not sent by the emperor. What to do, but something happened." Could it be that, why did Emperor Zhengde's character change in a short period of time.The ten days of sealing... what exactly is it sealing.
Yang Tinghe's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help stepping forward and said, "Could it be that the first assistant already knew about this matter before, why didn't he go up to persuade the emperor to restrain his behavior, don't do, don't do such degrading things! "
The conversation between Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe was like playing a charade, and the adults beside them had no idea what they were talking about.
Li Dongyang said softly: "Now you have seen the consequences of your admonition, so, do you want the current emperor?" His questioning made Yang Tinghe not know what to say for a while.The usual Emperor Zhengde would also be furious, shaken, and do some wanton things, but he would not be as cold as he is now.
Yang Tinghe shuddered slightly, yes, how could he have forgotten, that kind of breath, that kind of look in his eyes, as if he had completely lost his emotions.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, his chest was filled with a sense of anger and powerlessness, facing Li Dongyang was like punching cotton, and he didn't know what to do.
Emperor Zhengde didn't notice the dispute outside.After the person left, his full attention was already on the incoming military newspaper. Zhu Houzhao almost hungrily scanned the few thin documents over and over again, and finally closed his eyes suddenly, I don't know whether to be disappointed or happy.
Still no news.
Emperor Zhengde stood up with his head pressed down, threw two jade balls on the table, got up and walked to the window sill, he still remembered the last time Shizhi looked at him through the window with a low eyebrow and a smile, now he doesn't know life and death, Emperor Zhengde couldn't be happy day and night, as if a flower that no one could find took root in his heart, his face was delicate and beautiful, but the rhizome underneath stretched deep into it, living on its flesh and blood.The pain was so painful that Zhu Houzhao wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't help but yearn for its continued growth.
Looking forward to the day when it fully blooms, looking forward to the day when that person returns.
There was a light knock on the door, Le Xiao pushed the door in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge is begging to see you."
Li Dongyang went back and forth, and entered Emperor Zhengde's house again.And in his hand, he was still holding a military report that he had just intercepted on the road and wanted to send it to the emperor, so it was a matter of convenience.
Emperor Zhengde walked back to the desk and sat down, looked at Li Dongyang who was sitting opposite him and said, "Why are you here again? Could it be that you are the same as those few, trying to persuade me to return to Beijing?"
Li Dongyang shook his head and said with a light smile: "If it is really possible for the emperor to return to Beijing, there is no need to delay until today. In my opinion, staying in Yanghe may be a good thing for you." He bowed while talking Passed the military report to Emperor Zhengde.
Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, took the military newspaper casually, and shook it slightly with his fingertips, "Then what are you doing here?"
Li Dongyang said seriously: "The old minister just wanted to confirm one thing...Ren Zhi is not there at this time?" Which side is there? For the two people present, there is no need to explain at all.
Emperor Zhengde froze when he opened the military newspaper, and looked at Li Dongyang little by little, his voice was so soft that it was almost nothing, "The Qing family is really very courageous."
Li Dongyang's expression remained unchanged, and he said seriously: "I just want to know whether this war is the Tatars taking the initiative to attack, or..."
"Is there any difference?" Emperor Zhengde returned to normal, pulled out the letter inside and said indifferently.
Li Dongyang was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "There is really no difference." His eyes fell on the lines on the table, and he was planning to continue the conversation with the emperor after Emperor Zhengde finished reading the military newspaper, but found that Emperor Zhengde's face became more and more serious. It's ugly, but at the end it has a flash of terror and fragility.Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly from behind the desk, walked to the window sill a few steps, looked at the military newspaper again with trembling hands under the faint warm sun, and muttered to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible... "
Li Dongyang quickly got up and walked to the emperor, before he could speak, he found Emperor Zhengde trembling.
"emperor……"
It was the first time that Zhu Houzhao showed such a fragile appearance in front of the courtiers, as if immersed in another world, looking at the military newspaper in his hand, as if it carried his whole world.
And now, the world collapsed.
A terrifying guess flashed through Li Dongyang's mind, and even at the moment of guessing, sweat slid down his forehead.He moved quietly, walked behind Emperor Zhengde and looked sideways, seeing the writing on it clearly.
"...a few days ago, the nomads said...the Han people were hunted down...Balsborough led an army to intercept...a group of more than a dozen people were successfully captured...three days ago, the exact death toll was obtained...the numbers corresponded one by one, I don't know the Tatars intention."
Li Dongyang couldn't help gasping, his heart felt turbulent, and he suddenly met the eyes of Emperor Zhengde. At that moment, he saw the broken and trembling starlight, the turbulent current, the tyrannical and crazy despair... heavy pressure It made him almost suffocate, and he had to take a few steps back panting, supporting the bookcase to stand upright.
The thin letter paper was so heavy that Emperor Zhengde could hardly hold it, and it fell to the ground erratically.His eyes fell on the paper, his eyes were as dark and deep as the night sky, and there was a faint mist in his eyes, and his chest was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.He took a few steps back and leaned against the window sill, clasped the window frame tightly with his left hand, grabbed the jade pendant that was still warm in the placket with his right hand, and tore it off his neck abruptly, bent over and held the little piggy tremblingly, desperate The ground dropped a light kiss on it, and an uncontrollable cry of pain burst out from his throat, "It's right, it's right, it's right..." Those two words that were repeated uninterruptedly became all the strength supporting him at this moment, surrounding him By his side, blocking the broken reality for him.
Le Xiao broke in when she heard Li Dongyang bump into the bookcase, but stood there in a daze when she saw Emperor Zhengde's distressed appearance. When she suddenly recovered, her first reaction was to rush over and close the door. Order that absolutely no one can come in.Then he hurried to Emperor Zhengde, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty," before he could say anything, Le Xiao's eyes first fell on the military newspaper that fell to the ground.
The few lines of handwriting were enough for him to finish reading them all at once, his heart suddenly felt turbulent, and a faint mist appeared in his eyes.He sniffled and slammed his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't believe Lord Jiao will die until I see it with my own eyes. Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Please take care, Your Majesty."
The heavy blow caused his forehead to suddenly ache sharply, but Lexiao pressed against the ground firmly without any movement.He could feel the invisible pressure permeating the room, which made Li Dongyang almost unable to speak, let alone him.But what Le Xiao said was what he really wanted to say. If he couldn't see the person with his own eyes, he never thought that Master Jiao would die so casually.
That's right, Mr. Jiao!
Emperor Zhengde used all his strength to move his eyes away from the jade pendant in his hand, and the flower on his heart blossomed with blood, making it more attractive and beautiful.However, his expression was the opposite of that delicate flower, the more beautiful it bloomed, the more expressionless he became.
His eyes fell on Le Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, "Where is Wang Xun?"
Le Xiao immediately said: "According to reports, it was still at the city wall a quarter of an hour ago."
"Call him to see me."
Emperor Zhengde said.
Le Xiao quickly responded, carrying a big bag and going out to call for someone.
Seeing that the emperor regained his composure, Li Dongyang raised it in his heart more and more. The brief outburst just now could not disperse the emotions he could see at all, but the emperor suddenly restrained himself completely.He never believed that Le Xiao's brief persuasion would have any effect.
if……
Li Dongyang looked at Emperor Zhengde's straight back, and thought of Jiao Shizhi who didn't know life and death. Under the slanting sun, his face looked older and older.
Not a good thing.
……
Jiao Shizhi stood outside the tent, looking at Taka who was waiting with him, and unexpectedly saw a flash of panic in his eyes.
This camp originally belonged to Balsborot, and when Borjijin came, he gave it up to his father Khan to live in.And he himself, Alsuborot and Alchuborod who came with Dayan Khan lived in the surrounding tents respectively.
As for the rumors about the Ming Emperor, Balsborough also immediately refuted the rumors, and even dragged the other two brothers into trouble.Taka was also there at the time, and the scene was really impressive, but in the end Dayan Khan suppressed him. I don’t know what he said, but the faces of the three people came out afterwards were not very good.
But Balsborough was indeed inferior to Borjijin's courage. After learning about the current situation, he immediately judged that the original information was false, and then ordered the army to move forward.Morale declined again and again. Originally, the morale of the Tatar army became high because of his appearance. If they withdraw at this time, it will form an invisible pressure on them. Even if they attack again in the future, it may not be as good as on the current appearance.
Even if his original plan is a few years later, after his strategy is laid out, it will be implemented more smoothly.It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me, and the plan can't keep up with the changes...
When Dayan Khan judged the news to be false, Balsborot's expression changed drastically, "Father Khan, why did you..."
Bo'er didn't even look at him, took a gulp of wine from the jar, and said calmly: "Those Han people were too decisive when they committed suicide, and they didn't even leave a single leeway. How dare they abandon the emperor and commit suicide when he is left alone? This matter is a scam from beginning to end. You and your informant are really stupid as pigs!"
Balsbrot's face was pale and white, but at this time there were only the two of them in the tent, which was why Dayan Khan was so straightforward.He cut off the hind legs of the sheep on the table with a dagger, and said calmly: "Bring me the person who notified you. I want to see who was the first to know the news."
Balsbrot came back to his senses and nodded yes.When he left, his body was covered in cold sweat, and he said to Taka in a low voice: I didn't mean to harm you, but Father Khan brought this up on his own initiative.
This is also the reason why Jiao Shizhi appeared here, but before that, Alsuborot and Alchubroth came to visit Dayan Khan, so they could only stay outside and guard.
By the time Arzuborot and Alchuborot came out, nearly half an hour had passed, and Jiao Shizhi's posture had not changed at all. Say a few words.
When Arsubolot saw Taka, he curled his lips with a smile that was not a smile, "Isn't this Jinong's good brother? Why, come to see Father Khan?"
Taka bowed and said, "It's Dayan Khan who wants to ask me what to wait for, so I'll wait here."
Hearing Shi Boer's only request, Alsubolot's strong malice subsided a little bit, and when he touched Jiao Shi, something flashed in his eyes, and he sneered and passed them by .Archuborod had no interest in them, and left as early as he was going out.
The soldiers at the door signaled them to go in, Taka took a deep breath, and walked into the tent first, Jiao Shizhi followed behind him, and finally saw the man honored as Dayan Khan.
This person has an exotic appearance, with long hair braided into small strings of braids, and there are many decorations hanging on the hair.And in this season before the arrival of early spring, he was only wearing a fur coat, his chest was visible from the placket spread out in the middle, his muscular body exuded masculine oppression, and his gray-brown eyes fell on Taka when he entered. on him.
Taka swallowed nervously, knelt down and saluted.
Although Jiao Shizhi felt uncomfortable, he could only follow suit. When he was called up, he stood quietly behind Taka without saying a word.
Jiao Shizhi could barely understand most of the conversation between Bo'er and Taka, but it was just the questions that Balsbrot had asked before.However, in front of Borjijin, Taka was not as calm and composed as he was in front of Barsborough, and was even very nervous.
But Dayan Khan seemed to have seen a lot of such people, so he didn't care much.After asking Taka, his eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi casually, and after contemplating for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Jiao Shizhi understood this sentence, and he said calmly, "Let it go."
There is still a little difference between Chinese and Mongolian, and Bor just said these two words twice in his mouth, and then said again, "I once heard Balsborough say that you are very skilled, you Do you want to follow me?" He looked like a corporal, but Taka was in a cold sweat.
Dayan Khan has asked many people this way before, some people think, some people don't.
However, among the two people who answered, someone was killed, and the reason is unknown.Until now, no one dared to be asked by him, because he didn't know what kind of answer Dayan Khan wanted.
Jiao Shizhi said in Mongolian with a little difficulty: "Taka, I saved my life. He misses me, and I will go wherever he wants to go." This is to completely leave the decision-making to Taka.Taka felt Dayan Khan's gaze on him, and his heart was full of despair, and he didn't want to answer at all!
In an emergency, Jiao Shizhi's answer inspired him, and he blurted out: "Dayan Khan is like our reborn parents. We should do something for Dayan Khan. Let it go, even if I save Dayan Khan took your life, but Dayan Khan gave mine, the person you should be loyal to is Dayan Khan."
Even though Jiao Shizhi could only understand a small part of it, he still felt the endless critical blows, which sounded too disgusting.It's a pity that the two people who talked seemed to be very satisfied with such words, Jiao Shizhi could only pretend that he didn't know, and smiled silently.
Bo'er laughed loudly, and said to Taka: "I'll accept this man, come here, and reward him with a hundred taels of gold."
Taka accepted it gratefully, and Bor Jijin said a few more words to him, and then the big coffee was waved away by Dayan Khan.Jiao Shizhi immediately changed hands as the "master", and immediately he could only watch Taka go away.
Bor just looked at him with interest, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, "I'm really curious, where did you practice your martial arts all over your body, and with your martial arts, you need Taka came to the rescue? Incredible, incredible."
Jiao Shizhi said indifferently: "There is an old saying in the Han people, which is: a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Dayan Khan should understand it, but it was just an accident."
Bo'er's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he said with a smile: "Not bad, it seems that Taka has indeed picked up the treasure, but... I don't know whether he picked up the treasure or the sword. gone?"
These seem to be words with little difference, but for no reason Jiao Shizhi's back shuddered, and Bo'er Zhijin clapped his hands and said, "Bring it in."
As the tent door was opened, the camp immediately filled with a smell of blood and rancidity. The soldiers brought in corpses one after another. Their faces were purple and their bodies were swollen, which were the symptoms of taking poison.
Shi Hua, Ma Qi, Chen Liuqi, Liu Xiangming... Every time a person was brought in, Jiao Shizhi's heart subconsciously flinched, and the person's name flashed past, until the last corpse entered, except for those who had voluntarily asked to commit suicide as early as in the oasis. Guide, the remaining 21 people are all here.
When Jiao Shizhi didn't know, Bo'er Jijin had been staring at his face closely, after everyone was transported, looking at the unchanged expression on Jiao Shizhi's face, a flash in his heart The previous doubts made him still not sure, "Do you know who this is?"
Jiao Shizhi nodded.
Bo'er got down from the tiger-skin seat, kicked one of them on the head, and said with a smile: "These are the Han people who dare to bully you, and they are also your kind."
Jiao Shizhi retorted quietly: "They are not my kind." Bor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he did not expect Jiao Shizhi to say such a thing.
Jiao Shizhi spoke calmly, and his eyes were even calmer.
They were heroes, certainly not his kind.
"Since this is the case, you are also the one who was deceived by them, so I will give you this opportunity of revenge. You can burn them yourself. The Han people pay attention to entering the soil, and they can't even enter the soil, let alone Don't worry, you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."
Dayan Khan laughed loudly, seeming very pleased with the idea.
Jiao Shizhi stood up from the spot, his eyes swept over Bor Jijin, the soldiers standing on both sides, and then silently fell on the 21 corpses.
"it is good."
A puff of smoke soared to the sky on the white snow, even if the breeze blows, it cannot be shaken, as if carrying a lightness that goes straight into the sky, the soldiers standing behind Jiao Shi seem to be followers, seem to be escorts, and stick to watch the whole process. until the ashes gradually extinguished.
The Han man who had been standing by the side suddenly moved. He walked to the side, regardless of the scalding temperature, rolled up all the black and gray things with the hem of his clothes, and walked straight to the lush forest behind him. Far, deeper and deeper, until the figure disappeared in their eyes.
More than half an hour later, Jiao Shizhi returned to the tent with a disheveled face, Bor just patted Jiao Shizhi on the shoulder and smiled, "You did a good job, but why did you take those ashes to the mountains? ?"
Bo'er only looks bright and cheerful, but every word seems to be mixed with deep meaning, which makes people not dare to relax at all.
Jiao Shizhi said in a low voice: "You also know that the Han people pay attention to being safe in the soil. I sent them to the top of the mountain, let the wind take them away, and they can't return to the soil. Isn't this better?"
Bor Zhijin laughed so heartily that the whole camp could hear his laughter, he liked this answer.
"Okay, from now on, you will be my No. 20 bodyguard!"
There is no other test, the one just now, in his opinion, is enough to prove everything.
Jiao Shizhi knelt down on one knee, punched his heart, and replied heavily: "Yes!"
Jiao Shizhi was "transferred to" Borjijin by Taka, but most of the things were still in Taka's place. After Borjijin's permission, he went back to Taka's camp to get the things.
When Taka saw him coming in, his face was unpredictable, so complicated that he didn't know how to describe it.
He didn't know that Dayan Khan was still suspicious of them, and even put Jiao Shizhi to that test afterwards.But he didn't expect Jiao Shizhi to be so ruthless that he completely burned the corpses of his comrades-in-arms, leaving his bones ashes.He also heard just now that in order to show his loyalty, he even sent those ashes to the top of the mountain to scatter them. This behavior is really, really... And now, he can still come back so calmly.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know what was going on in his mind, after walking back to Taka's place, he seemed to feel a little relieved, he fell down on the soft couch, looking a little tired with his head down.
Taka frowned and walked towards him, just as he was about to tell him to pack up his things and leave, but Jiao Shizhi suddenly took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth and retched. Following his movements, the snow-white handkerchief was instantly stained with blood, and a large piece Large pieces spread, and even slipped from the hands, blurring patches of red.
Taka was shocked, looked at Jiao Shizhi who was vomiting blood, and walked to him in two or three steps, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiao Shizhi pressed his lips tightly with a veil, his eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was extremely heavy, almost exhausting every breath.Taka almost thought he was crying, but it was an illusion.He also thought he was trembling, but it was still an illusion.
He just sat there like a stone statue, with no other movements except breathing.
After a while, Jiao Shizhi held the handkerchief in his hand, took out another handkerchief, wiped off the scary scenes just now, and covered up the parts that couldn't be removed, and then used the last clean handkerchief Wrapped the other two and stuffed them into his clothes.
The eyes that looked at Taka again were still dark and bright, but something was different.
Taka thought in a trance, yes, it looks like a flame is burning inside.
"Thank you, and also, you are not actually poisoned, I'm sorry." Jiao Shizhi nodded at Taka, and passed by with something, leaving Taka alone on the spot, it took a long time to react, and his face was distorted immediately, resentful.
But after a while, he sat down on the ground in vain, rubbing his hair helplessly.With the development of the matter so far, it is impossible for him to betray Jiao Shizhi and tell Dayan Khan and others about these things.In fact, he was Jiao Shizhi's accomplice, told them that he would die, and he would die ugly.
This life is what he values most, and he has persisted until now, and he will not allow it to be lost like this.
He opened the tent door, and the wind blowing slightly was no longer harsh, with a little soft breath.Taka rubbed his face and said softly: "It's really rare that the wind direction is like this..."
and many more!
Taka turned around abruptly, looked back at the high mountain peak behind the barracks, and looked back at Yanghe City, which was almost invisible, and blurted out, "No way..."
Could it be that Jiao Shizhi went up the mountain with the pile of ashes because of today's wind direction? !
Those winds will eventually bring them back to their homeland, even in that way, in a way that no one can send.
But at the end of the day, it's still possible for them to return, rather than lie silently in a foreign land.
Taka covered his eyes, not knowing where the sudden sourness came from, but it was filled with great sadness, which made his heart shrink.He was obviously an enemy, obviously a foreign race, but just now Jiao Shizhi vomited blood silently in the camp, and the breeze that gently brushed his hair all made him feel sad.
The sand must have gotten into his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be crying.He retorted heavily in his heart.
Yet another tiny voice whispered.
Is this the loyalty that Jiao Shizhi once said?Because of loyalty, even if your heart is crying blood, you will never turn back?
He can't.
Taka staggered back into the tent, he couldn't.
Jiao Shizhi took the things to the attendant's tent, and after being treated lukewarmly, he calmly put the things on the side of his own soft couch, sat there and wiped the sword quietly.
The sword edge was sharp, reflecting the bright light, and Jiao Shizhi's fingertips brushed against the sword edge, leaving a bloodstain.
Jian has woken up.
He let the blood drop from the edge of the sword, put the sword back into the sheath, and lay on the bed with the sword in his arms, quietly like a passerby.
He wants to kill Bor Jijin.
He will kill Borji Jin.
Taka and Jiao Shizhi were leisurely, because they came in halfway. Although they also shared a tent, they didn't have duties and didn't need to go to the battlefield.Every time you just need to act in the army, but Balsborough seems to be very interested in Jiao Shizhi, and he will call him over every two or three days. Fortunately, he will also summon Taka every time. Let the focal point be in an awkward position.
Jiao Shizhi can only understand simple Mongolian, and he doesn't know anything about conversations. After coming to the Tatar camp, Taka specially taught him these things in order to keep him secret.However, in order to accommodate him, Balsbrot specially switched to Chinese to talk to him, which is a bit strange.
After another banquet, Taka looked at Jiao Shi up and down, and said seriously: "I really don't see anything that attracts him from you? If he likes men, but I have been I haven't noticed this tendency. If you value your skill, why don't you go there now, that would be more beneficial to him?" Although he said so, he didn't really want to get Jiao Shizhi's answer , just because it was too boring.
Since the dozen or so Han people committed suicide, Jiao Shizhi's expression has been very dull, and he no longer has the faint smile that still hung on his face when he entered the camp.Although on the surface it seems to be as usual, but Taka has been with him day and night for more than a month, how can he not see that he is in a bad mood?
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and said intently: "Dayan Khan likes men?"
Taka frowned, "I've never heard of such a thing. If he likes men, where did the multiple sons come from?" Jiao Shizhi looked at Taka and said, "If this reason is not , then why do you think Balsborough calls me so frequently?"
But Taka didn't know the answer to this question.
Jiao Shizhi looked serious, paced slowly in the tent, and said after a long time: "He is suspicious of me."
As soon as these words came out, Taka's expression turned pale immediately, and he walked up to Jiao Shizhi in a few steps, and looked at him in disbelief, "What are you talking about?!"
Jiao Shizhi said calmly: "Although our conversation was impeccable, all the clues have been cut off now, only you and I have 'meeted' the emperor, and you passed the news to him. When I came here, it happened that you and I survived, and I am a Han again... Should this reason be enough?"
For a scapegoat.
Taka immediately understood what Jiao Shizhi meant, and staggered back a few steps, "No, Jinong wouldn't treat me like this, he..."
"He does believe in you, so for him, he is just looking for someone to take his place for his own protection. After all, he seems to be quite worried about the appearance of Dayan Khan." Jiao Shizhi showed no mercy It shattered the fantasy in Taka's heart and punctured Balsborough's real purpose.
Taka is not a fool, no matter how much he wants to deceive himself, Balsbrot's behavior during this time is really too abnormal.The relationship between them had been deformed three years ago. How could they still be in close contact with each other as before? Originally, he was wondering if there was something wrong with him, but he didn't expect Balsborough to have such thoughts!
Jiao Shizhi said seriously: "It seems that Balsbrot's intention is to find out if there are any flaws in me. If there are any flaws in me, he will take me down directly. If there are no flaws, maybe he needs to fabricate one or two. These are his affairs and have nothing to do with us. Taka, for the sake of our two lives, I hope you can seriously tell me who are Barrsborough's enemies."
Taka frowned, "If you talk about enemies, there are quite a few. But if you want to talk about whether he has any brothers to compete with him, there are two people who are more favored by Dayan Khan than him. . are his next two, Alsuborot and Alzuborod."
Jiao Shizhi read the names of the two people in his mouth, and said helplessly: "The similarity of the names of the two people is too high."
Taka snorted and said, "I have specially converted it into Chinese for you. You will only know what Chang is if you read it in Mongolian."
Dayan Khan came very fast, almost while they were still talking, the team had already appeared not far away.On the day they arrived, Balsborough led people to greet them in person, and the two armies joined together, causing Yanghe City to be on guard.
If it is said that Balsborough's experience can be said to be unintentional, but Borjijin came in person, but he can no longer use this reason as an explanation.Bor Jijin's status in Tatar was equivalent to the importance of Emperor Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. If he hadn't had some intention, how could he have left the Khan court and rushed here in person.
When he received this news, Wang Xun couldn't help but secretly lamented Emperor Zhengde's foresight. If he hadn't forced him to lead his troops to the north, Yanghe's troops would not be enough to resist.At that time, the decree was urgently issued, and Liaodong General Xiao Yu and Xuanfu Guerrilla General led their troops to garrison Juluobao and Tiancheng.Zhu Luan, the deputy general, and Zhou Zheng, the guerrilla general, were stationed in Pinglu, Weiwu and other places.
With the transfer of the team, the atmosphere in Yanghe became more and more tense. Emperor Zhengde frequently traveled to and from the city wall and post station. No matter how Wang Xun persuaded him, he insisted on standing on a high place and looking into the distance, as if he could see to something.
Three days later, Yanghe received the news of the Tatar army's mobilization, and instead of retreating, he moved forward another fifty miles, which directly shook the sensitive nerve of the border, and even made Wang Xun nervous.
The two jade balls on Emperor Zhengde's right hand were spinning slowly. These days, Zhu Houzhao's spinning became more and more handy, but he always held these two jade balls, and used Le Xiao as a target when he was free, which scared him It's choking.
"Your Majesty, please return to Beijing as soon as possible. The situation in Yanghe is becoming increasingly tense. It would be too dangerous for you to be here." Wang Xun persuaded with painstaking efforts.
Yang Tinghe also persuaded in the same way, "Your Majesty, you have now achieved the goal of the northern tour. Now that the border war is tense, please stop being casual. It is really not safe here. Please return to Beijing as soon as possible."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites followed closely behind, with a worried expression on his face, "Datong is no longer safe. I implore the emperor to put the country and the country as the most important thing, and the court as the most important thing, and set off to return to Beijing."
The ministers went on and on, hoping that the emperor could evacuate this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Emperor Zhengde leaned against the back of the chair, put both feet on the table, propped his chin with one hand, weighed the weight of the jade ball in his hand with the other, and said softly: "If I don't want to leave, anyone can leave, tell Wang Xun, Just send someone to send him away, don't say too much other things, it will be tiresome to hear."
The emperor's words have become more and more direct these days, and several veteran ministers frown frequently. Even Yang Tinghe, who has taught Emperor Zhengde and knows his habits well, can't bear it, let alone other people.
Yang Tinghe wanted to say something more, but Li Dongyang shook his head slightly at him, signaling not to mention it again.After the few of them went out, Yang Tinghe said angrily to Li Dongyang: "Master Shoufu, the emperor is so obsessed with obsession, why don't you persuade him more. The emperor may be able to listen to your words, but why..."
Li Dongyang sighed and said: "Don't you think the emperor is a bit strange recently?"
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then the Minister of the Household Department frowned and said: "Although the emperor is usually a little irritable, he will not be as moody as this time." The Minister of Rites also said, "That's right, although the emperor always likes to threaten people in the past. What, but they will not completely ignore the opinions of the courtiers, but during this period of time, almost all those who refute will be reprimanded, let alone accepting opinions, it is not bad if they do not go to prison."
Li Dongyang scanned these people for a year, endured and endured, and shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you find that someone is missing?"
Yang Tinghe said doubtfully, "Even if Jiao Shizhi is sent by the emperor to do something, but there are so many people around the emperor, it doesn't make any difference whether there is Jiao Shizhi or not."
Li Dongyang snorted softly, stretched out his hand and nodded on several people, "There is no difference, what you said just now is what you said yourself."
Yang Tinghe's face changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he seemed to think of something. Looking at Li Dongyang's face in shock, "Master Li, it's impossible..."
"Don't say anything." Li Dongyang gave him a warning look, "If you know it, you will know it. No matter what you want to do with it, I advise you not to move anything at this time. I suspect that Ren Zhi was not sent by the emperor. What to do, but something happened." Could it be that, why did Emperor Zhengde's character change in a short period of time.The ten days of sealing... what exactly is it sealing.
Yang Tinghe's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help stepping forward and said, "Could it be that the first assistant already knew about this matter before, why didn't he go up to persuade the emperor to restrain his behavior, don't do, don't do such degrading things! "
The conversation between Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe was like playing a charade, and the adults beside them had no idea what they were talking about.
Li Dongyang said softly: "Now you have seen the consequences of your admonition, so, do you want the current emperor?" His questioning made Yang Tinghe not know what to say for a while.The usual Emperor Zhengde would also be furious, shaken, and do some wanton things, but he would not be as cold as he is now.
Yang Tinghe shuddered slightly, yes, how could he have forgotten, that kind of breath, that kind of look in his eyes, as if he had completely lost his emotions.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, his chest was filled with a sense of anger and powerlessness, facing Li Dongyang was like punching cotton, and he didn't know what to do.
Emperor Zhengde didn't notice the dispute outside.After the person left, his full attention was already on the incoming military newspaper. Zhu Houzhao almost hungrily scanned the few thin documents over and over again, and finally closed his eyes suddenly, I don't know whether to be disappointed or happy.
Still no news.
Emperor Zhengde stood up with his head pressed down, threw two jade balls on the table, got up and walked to the window sill, he still remembered the last time Shizhi looked at him through the window with a low eyebrow and a smile, now he doesn't know life and death, Emperor Zhengde couldn't be happy day and night, as if a flower that no one could find took root in his heart, his face was delicate and beautiful, but the rhizome underneath stretched deep into it, living on its flesh and blood.The pain was so painful that Zhu Houzhao wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't help but yearn for its continued growth.
Looking forward to the day when it fully blooms, looking forward to the day when that person returns.
There was a light knock on the door, Le Xiao pushed the door in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge is begging to see you."
Li Dongyang went back and forth, and entered Emperor Zhengde's house again.And in his hand, he was still holding a military report that he had just intercepted on the road and wanted to send it to the emperor, so it was a matter of convenience.
Emperor Zhengde walked back to the desk and sat down, looked at Li Dongyang who was sitting opposite him and said, "Why are you here again? Could it be that you are the same as those few, trying to persuade me to return to Beijing?"
Li Dongyang shook his head and said with a light smile: "If it is really possible for the emperor to return to Beijing, there is no need to delay until today. In my opinion, staying in Yanghe may be a good thing for you." He bowed while talking Passed the military report to Emperor Zhengde.
Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, took the military newspaper casually, and shook it slightly with his fingertips, "Then what are you doing here?"
Li Dongyang said seriously: "The old minister just wanted to confirm one thing...Ren Zhi is not there at this time?" Which side is there? For the two people present, there is no need to explain at all.
Emperor Zhengde froze when he opened the military newspaper, and looked at Li Dongyang little by little, his voice was so soft that it was almost nothing, "The Qing family is really very courageous."
Li Dongyang's expression remained unchanged, and he said seriously: "I just want to know whether this war is the Tatars taking the initiative to attack, or..."
"Is there any difference?" Emperor Zhengde returned to normal, pulled out the letter inside and said indifferently.
Li Dongyang was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "There is really no difference." His eyes fell on the lines on the table, and he was planning to continue the conversation with the emperor after Emperor Zhengde finished reading the military newspaper, but found that Emperor Zhengde's face became more and more serious. It's ugly, but at the end it has a flash of terror and fragility.Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly from behind the desk, walked to the window sill a few steps, looked at the military newspaper again with trembling hands under the faint warm sun, and muttered to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible... "
Li Dongyang quickly got up and walked to the emperor, before he could speak, he found Emperor Zhengde trembling.
"emperor……"
It was the first time that Zhu Houzhao showed such a fragile appearance in front of the courtiers, as if immersed in another world, looking at the military newspaper in his hand, as if it carried his whole world.
And now, the world collapsed.
A terrifying guess flashed through Li Dongyang's mind, and even at the moment of guessing, sweat slid down his forehead.He moved quietly, walked behind Emperor Zhengde and looked sideways, seeing the writing on it clearly.
"...a few days ago, the nomads said...the Han people were hunted down...Balsborough led an army to intercept...a group of more than a dozen people were successfully captured...three days ago, the exact death toll was obtained...the numbers corresponded one by one, I don't know the Tatars intention."
Li Dongyang couldn't help gasping, his heart felt turbulent, and he suddenly met the eyes of Emperor Zhengde. At that moment, he saw the broken and trembling starlight, the turbulent current, the tyrannical and crazy despair... heavy pressure It made him almost suffocate, and he had to take a few steps back panting, supporting the bookcase to stand upright.
The thin letter paper was so heavy that Emperor Zhengde could hardly hold it, and it fell to the ground erratically.His eyes fell on the paper, his eyes were as dark and deep as the night sky, and there was a faint mist in his eyes, and his chest was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.He took a few steps back and leaned against the window sill, clasped the window frame tightly with his left hand, grabbed the jade pendant that was still warm in the placket with his right hand, and tore it off his neck abruptly, bent over and held the little piggy tremblingly, desperate The ground dropped a light kiss on it, and an uncontrollable cry of pain burst out from his throat, "It's right, it's right, it's right..." Those two words that were repeated uninterruptedly became all the strength supporting him at this moment, surrounding him By his side, blocking the broken reality for him.
Le Xiao broke in when she heard Li Dongyang bump into the bookcase, but stood there in a daze when she saw Emperor Zhengde's distressed appearance. When she suddenly recovered, her first reaction was to rush over and close the door. Order that absolutely no one can come in.Then he hurried to Emperor Zhengde, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty," before he could say anything, Le Xiao's eyes first fell on the military newspaper that fell to the ground.
The few lines of handwriting were enough for him to finish reading them all at once, his heart suddenly felt turbulent, and a faint mist appeared in his eyes.He sniffled and slammed his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't believe Lord Jiao will die until I see it with my own eyes. Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Please take care, Your Majesty."
The heavy blow caused his forehead to suddenly ache sharply, but Lexiao pressed against the ground firmly without any movement.He could feel the invisible pressure permeating the room, which made Li Dongyang almost unable to speak, let alone him.But what Le Xiao said was what he really wanted to say. If he couldn't see the person with his own eyes, he never thought that Master Jiao would die so casually.
That's right, Mr. Jiao!
Emperor Zhengde used all his strength to move his eyes away from the jade pendant in his hand, and the flower on his heart blossomed with blood, making it more attractive and beautiful.However, his expression was the opposite of that delicate flower, the more beautiful it bloomed, the more expressionless he became.
His eyes fell on Le Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, "Where is Wang Xun?"
Le Xiao immediately said: "According to reports, it was still at the city wall a quarter of an hour ago."
"Call him to see me."
Emperor Zhengde said.
Le Xiao quickly responded, carrying a big bag and going out to call for someone.
Seeing that the emperor regained his composure, Li Dongyang raised it in his heart more and more. The brief outburst just now could not disperse the emotions he could see at all, but the emperor suddenly restrained himself completely.He never believed that Le Xiao's brief persuasion would have any effect.
if……
Li Dongyang looked at Emperor Zhengde's straight back, and thought of Jiao Shizhi who didn't know life and death. Under the slanting sun, his face looked older and older.
Not a good thing.
……
Jiao Shizhi stood outside the tent, looking at Taka who was waiting with him, and unexpectedly saw a flash of panic in his eyes.
This camp originally belonged to Balsborot, and when Borjijin came, he gave it up to his father Khan to live in.And he himself, Alsuborot and Alchuborod who came with Dayan Khan lived in the surrounding tents respectively.
As for the rumors about the Ming Emperor, Balsborough also immediately refuted the rumors, and even dragged the other two brothers into trouble.Taka was also there at the time, and the scene was really impressive, but in the end Dayan Khan suppressed him. I don’t know what he said, but the faces of the three people came out afterwards were not very good.
But Balsborough was indeed inferior to Borjijin's courage. After learning about the current situation, he immediately judged that the original information was false, and then ordered the army to move forward.Morale declined again and again. Originally, the morale of the Tatar army became high because of his appearance. If they withdraw at this time, it will form an invisible pressure on them. Even if they attack again in the future, it may not be as good as on the current appearance.
Even if his original plan is a few years later, after his strategy is laid out, it will be implemented more smoothly.It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me, and the plan can't keep up with the changes...
When Dayan Khan judged the news to be false, Balsborot's expression changed drastically, "Father Khan, why did you..."
Bo'er didn't even look at him, took a gulp of wine from the jar, and said calmly: "Those Han people were too decisive when they committed suicide, and they didn't even leave a single leeway. How dare they abandon the emperor and commit suicide when he is left alone? This matter is a scam from beginning to end. You and your informant are really stupid as pigs!"
Balsbrot's face was pale and white, but at this time there were only the two of them in the tent, which was why Dayan Khan was so straightforward.He cut off the hind legs of the sheep on the table with a dagger, and said calmly: "Bring me the person who notified you. I want to see who was the first to know the news."
Balsbrot came back to his senses and nodded yes.When he left, his body was covered in cold sweat, and he said to Taka in a low voice: I didn't mean to harm you, but Father Khan brought this up on his own initiative.
This is also the reason why Jiao Shizhi appeared here, but before that, Alsuborot and Alchubroth came to visit Dayan Khan, so they could only stay outside and guard.
By the time Arzuborot and Alchuborot came out, nearly half an hour had passed, and Jiao Shizhi's posture had not changed at all. Say a few words.
When Arsubolot saw Taka, he curled his lips with a smile that was not a smile, "Isn't this Jinong's good brother? Why, come to see Father Khan?"
Taka bowed and said, "It's Dayan Khan who wants to ask me what to wait for, so I'll wait here."
Hearing Shi Boer's only request, Alsubolot's strong malice subsided a little bit, and when he touched Jiao Shi, something flashed in his eyes, and he sneered and passed them by .Archuborod had no interest in them, and left as early as he was going out.
The soldiers at the door signaled them to go in, Taka took a deep breath, and walked into the tent first, Jiao Shizhi followed behind him, and finally saw the man honored as Dayan Khan.
This person has an exotic appearance, with long hair braided into small strings of braids, and there are many decorations hanging on the hair.And in this season before the arrival of early spring, he was only wearing a fur coat, his chest was visible from the placket spread out in the middle, his muscular body exuded masculine oppression, and his gray-brown eyes fell on Taka when he entered. on him.
Taka swallowed nervously, knelt down and saluted.
Although Jiao Shizhi felt uncomfortable, he could only follow suit. When he was called up, he stood quietly behind Taka without saying a word.
Jiao Shizhi could barely understand most of the conversation between Bo'er and Taka, but it was just the questions that Balsbrot had asked before.However, in front of Borjijin, Taka was not as calm and composed as he was in front of Barsborough, and was even very nervous.
But Dayan Khan seemed to have seen a lot of such people, so he didn't care much.After asking Taka, his eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi casually, and after contemplating for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Jiao Shizhi understood this sentence, and he said calmly, "Let it go."
There is still a little difference between Chinese and Mongolian, and Bor just said these two words twice in his mouth, and then said again, "I once heard Balsborough say that you are very skilled, you Do you want to follow me?" He looked like a corporal, but Taka was in a cold sweat.
Dayan Khan has asked many people this way before, some people think, some people don't.
However, among the two people who answered, someone was killed, and the reason is unknown.Until now, no one dared to be asked by him, because he didn't know what kind of answer Dayan Khan wanted.
Jiao Shizhi said in Mongolian with a little difficulty: "Taka, I saved my life. He misses me, and I will go wherever he wants to go." This is to completely leave the decision-making to Taka.Taka felt Dayan Khan's gaze on him, and his heart was full of despair, and he didn't want to answer at all!
In an emergency, Jiao Shizhi's answer inspired him, and he blurted out: "Dayan Khan is like our reborn parents. We should do something for Dayan Khan. Let it go, even if I save Dayan Khan took your life, but Dayan Khan gave mine, the person you should be loyal to is Dayan Khan."
Even though Jiao Shizhi could only understand a small part of it, he still felt the endless critical blows, which sounded too disgusting.It's a pity that the two people who talked seemed to be very satisfied with such words, Jiao Shizhi could only pretend that he didn't know, and smiled silently.
Bo'er laughed loudly, and said to Taka: "I'll accept this man, come here, and reward him with a hundred taels of gold."
Taka accepted it gratefully, and Bor Jijin said a few more words to him, and then the big coffee was waved away by Dayan Khan.Jiao Shizhi immediately changed hands as the "master", and immediately he could only watch Taka go away.
Bor just looked at him with interest, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, "I'm really curious, where did you practice your martial arts all over your body, and with your martial arts, you need Taka came to the rescue? Incredible, incredible."
Jiao Shizhi said indifferently: "There is an old saying in the Han people, which is: a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Dayan Khan should understand it, but it was just an accident."
Bo'er's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he said with a smile: "Not bad, it seems that Taka has indeed picked up the treasure, but... I don't know whether he picked up the treasure or the sword. gone?"
These seem to be words with little difference, but for no reason Jiao Shizhi's back shuddered, and Bo'er Zhijin clapped his hands and said, "Bring it in."
As the tent door was opened, the camp immediately filled with a smell of blood and rancidity. The soldiers brought in corpses one after another. Their faces were purple and their bodies were swollen, which were the symptoms of taking poison.
Shi Hua, Ma Qi, Chen Liuqi, Liu Xiangming... Every time a person was brought in, Jiao Shizhi's heart subconsciously flinched, and the person's name flashed past, until the last corpse entered, except for those who had voluntarily asked to commit suicide as early as in the oasis. Guide, the remaining 21 people are all here.
When Jiao Shizhi didn't know, Bo'er Jijin had been staring at his face closely, after everyone was transported, looking at the unchanged expression on Jiao Shizhi's face, a flash in his heart The previous doubts made him still not sure, "Do you know who this is?"
Jiao Shizhi nodded.
Bo'er got down from the tiger-skin seat, kicked one of them on the head, and said with a smile: "These are the Han people who dare to bully you, and they are also your kind."
Jiao Shizhi retorted quietly: "They are not my kind." Bor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he did not expect Jiao Shizhi to say such a thing.
Jiao Shizhi spoke calmly, and his eyes were even calmer.
They were heroes, certainly not his kind.
"Since this is the case, you are also the one who was deceived by them, so I will give you this opportunity of revenge. You can burn them yourself. The Han people pay attention to entering the soil, and they can't even enter the soil, let alone Don't worry, you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."
Dayan Khan laughed loudly, seeming very pleased with the idea.
Jiao Shizhi stood up from the spot, his eyes swept over Bor Jijin, the soldiers standing on both sides, and then silently fell on the 21 corpses.
"it is good."
A puff of smoke soared to the sky on the white snow, even if the breeze blows, it cannot be shaken, as if carrying a lightness that goes straight into the sky, the soldiers standing behind Jiao Shi seem to be followers, seem to be escorts, and stick to watch the whole process. until the ashes gradually extinguished.
The Han man who had been standing by the side suddenly moved. He walked to the side, regardless of the scalding temperature, rolled up all the black and gray things with the hem of his clothes, and walked straight to the lush forest behind him. Far, deeper and deeper, until the figure disappeared in their eyes.
More than half an hour later, Jiao Shizhi returned to the tent with a disheveled face, Bor just patted Jiao Shizhi on the shoulder and smiled, "You did a good job, but why did you take those ashes to the mountains? ?"
Bo'er only looks bright and cheerful, but every word seems to be mixed with deep meaning, which makes people not dare to relax at all.
Jiao Shizhi said in a low voice: "You also know that the Han people pay attention to being safe in the soil. I sent them to the top of the mountain, let the wind take them away, and they can't return to the soil. Isn't this better?"
Bor Zhijin laughed so heartily that the whole camp could hear his laughter, he liked this answer.
"Okay, from now on, you will be my No. 20 bodyguard!"
There is no other test, the one just now, in his opinion, is enough to prove everything.
Jiao Shizhi knelt down on one knee, punched his heart, and replied heavily: "Yes!"
Jiao Shizhi was "transferred to" Borjijin by Taka, but most of the things were still in Taka's place. After Borjijin's permission, he went back to Taka's camp to get the things.
When Taka saw him coming in, his face was unpredictable, so complicated that he didn't know how to describe it.
He didn't know that Dayan Khan was still suspicious of them, and even put Jiao Shizhi to that test afterwards.But he didn't expect Jiao Shizhi to be so ruthless that he completely burned the corpses of his comrades-in-arms, leaving his bones ashes.He also heard just now that in order to show his loyalty, he even sent those ashes to the top of the mountain to scatter them. This behavior is really, really... And now, he can still come back so calmly.
Jiao Shizhi didn't know what was going on in his mind, after walking back to Taka's place, he seemed to feel a little relieved, he fell down on the soft couch, looking a little tired with his head down.
Taka frowned and walked towards him, just as he was about to tell him to pack up his things and leave, but Jiao Shizhi suddenly took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth and retched. Following his movements, the snow-white handkerchief was instantly stained with blood, and a large piece Large pieces spread, and even slipped from the hands, blurring patches of red.
Taka was shocked, looked at Jiao Shizhi who was vomiting blood, and walked to him in two or three steps, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiao Shizhi pressed his lips tightly with a veil, his eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was extremely heavy, almost exhausting every breath.Taka almost thought he was crying, but it was an illusion.He also thought he was trembling, but it was still an illusion.
He just sat there like a stone statue, with no other movements except breathing.
After a while, Jiao Shizhi held the handkerchief in his hand, took out another handkerchief, wiped off the scary scenes just now, and covered up the parts that couldn't be removed, and then used the last clean handkerchief Wrapped the other two and stuffed them into his clothes.
The eyes that looked at Taka again were still dark and bright, but something was different.
Taka thought in a trance, yes, it looks like a flame is burning inside.
"Thank you, and also, you are not actually poisoned, I'm sorry." Jiao Shizhi nodded at Taka, and passed by with something, leaving Taka alone on the spot, it took a long time to react, and his face was distorted immediately, resentful.
But after a while, he sat down on the ground in vain, rubbing his hair helplessly.With the development of the matter so far, it is impossible for him to betray Jiao Shizhi and tell Dayan Khan and others about these things.In fact, he was Jiao Shizhi's accomplice, told them that he would die, and he would die ugly.
This life is what he values most, and he has persisted until now, and he will not allow it to be lost like this.
He opened the tent door, and the wind blowing slightly was no longer harsh, with a little soft breath.Taka rubbed his face and said softly: "It's really rare that the wind direction is like this..."
and many more!
Taka turned around abruptly, looked back at the high mountain peak behind the barracks, and looked back at Yanghe City, which was almost invisible, and blurted out, "No way..."
Could it be that Jiao Shizhi went up the mountain with the pile of ashes because of today's wind direction? !
Those winds will eventually bring them back to their homeland, even in that way, in a way that no one can send.
But at the end of the day, it's still possible for them to return, rather than lie silently in a foreign land.
Taka covered his eyes, not knowing where the sudden sourness came from, but it was filled with great sadness, which made his heart shrink.He was obviously an enemy, obviously a foreign race, but just now Jiao Shizhi vomited blood silently in the camp, and the breeze that gently brushed his hair all made him feel sad.
The sand must have gotten into his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be crying.He retorted heavily in his heart.
Yet another tiny voice whispered.
Is this the loyalty that Jiao Shizhi once said?Because of loyalty, even if your heart is crying blood, you will never turn back?
He can't.
Taka staggered back into the tent, he couldn't.
Jiao Shizhi took the things to the attendant's tent, and after being treated lukewarmly, he calmly put the things on the side of his own soft couch, sat there and wiped the sword quietly.
The sword edge was sharp, reflecting the bright light, and Jiao Shizhi's fingertips brushed against the sword edge, leaving a bloodstain.
Jian has woken up.
He let the blood drop from the edge of the sword, put the sword back into the sheath, and lay on the bed with the sword in his arms, quietly like a passerby.
He wants to kill Bor Jijin.
He will kill Borji Jin.
