Liu Xin understands very well that he is not alone, nor is he just his wife and children. His destiny has been closely linked to the entire Han Dynasty. He insisted on bringing the army into Guishan City. To ensure your own safety, if you enter the city, but only bring a few personal guards into the inner city, as long as the king and ministers of Dawan give birth to alienation, the danger will still exist.
Although Liu Xin's martial arts has reached the point of being proficient, but if he wants to use his own strength to fight against thousands of troops, he thinks that he does not have this ability yet, and Liu Xin does not dare to pin his safety in the trust of the Dawan people. So he proposed that the Han army must control the city’s defenses in the inner city, otherwise he would rather withdraw from Guishan city.
This time, Mozhiti did not hesitate at all. He even handed over the defense of the Dawan Palace to the Han army, leaving only eight guards by his side. The rest of the Dawan soldiers all retreated outside of Guishan City. From the outer city to the inner city, from the head of the city to the four gates, they were replaced by soldiers of the big man.
For the Dawan people, the current situation is a bit of a loss of power and insult to the country, but Mozhiti and Yansai don’t care, especially Yansai. He has personally experienced the battle outside Pishan city in the past year. Forty thousand Dawan troops were killed. The five thousand Han army was defeated. There are nearly 20,000 Han army outside the city. If the Han army wants to attack the city, Guishan City will definitely not be able to defend it. It is better to welcome them in obediently, presumably Liu Xin will not succumb. Don't go here,
The construction of the Dawan Palace is quite luxurious. This is not the "credit" of Morzhiti, but the result of the long-term management of the previous Dawan kings. The banquet in the hall has been prepared long ago, and Liu Xin was not polite with them and came directly When he took a seat, Sun Ce pressed the domineering knife in his hand and stood behind him. Sisters Liya and Kleia sat down on Liu Xin's left hand seat, and Maziti and Yansai accompanied him on their right hands.
The dishes are quite Western-style, but Dawan is mainly farming. There are many fresh fruits and vegetables in several cases. The most distinctive one is Dawan’s famous dish roasted whole camel.
Morzetti poured a glass of wine, and then gave Liu Xin a deep pour, and said: "Your Majesty’s visit to Guishan is a blessing for the people of Dawan. Xiao Wang respects His Majesty a glass. Please stay here for a few more days."
Liu Xin picked up the wine cup in front of him, put it under his nose, and smelt it, and praised: "I often hear people say that Dawan produces good wine. As expected, I have something to do. I will leave for Kangju tomorrow morning. Forget it,"
Although Liu Xin had already sent messengers to communicate with Mozhiti, telling him that he was just borrowing, but the monarch and ministers of Dawan still had doubts. Now listening to Liu Xin's words, Mozhiti was finally convinced and his mood relaxed. , But said: "Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. Your Majesty will stay for a few more days, so Xiao Wang will accompany you around,"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "No, there will be a grand ceremony in Chang'an next year. I will invite you, the monarch and the minister, to observe the ceremony at that time."
Being able to get the personal invitation of the Emperor of Han Dynasty, Mozhiti suddenly felt infinitely fluorescent, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Thank your Majesty Longen, Xiao Wang must go."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Well, I have to hurry tomorrow. If there are any programs, let's start now, eat early and rest early."
Maziti patted his slap lightly, and the musicians on both sides played various musical instruments. A group of costumed girls filed in and danced in the middle of the hall. Liu Xin didn’t know these musical instruments, but only knew that they were unique to the Western Regions, girls. He knew the dance that he danced. It was the famous Hu Xuan dance, because Li Ya was a master of Hu Xuan dance.
The dancing postures of these girls can only be considered to be upper-middle, and Liu Xin's mind is not about enjoying dancing. He attended this banquet just to pay attention to the etiquette. If he wants to, he can just eat something.
Liu Xin ate a few things at random, the music in the hall suddenly picked up, and the dance gradually approached. Several girls jumped faster and faster, and they were already in front of Liu Xin.
Suddenly, one of the girls leaped up and flew straight towards Liu Xin, who was sitting on her head.
Liu Xin was immersed in a roast leg of lamb, as if he hadn't noticed the changes in the field, but the Kleia sisters sitting on the left-hand seat reacted quickly and all jumped up from the seat, and four slender arms grabbed the person. Girl,
Almost at the same time that the girl leaped up, a musician who was beating the drums, the snare drum in his hands rose, and a few cold rays shot towards Liu Xin. The matter was rushed, and both Mozhiti and Yansai were dumbfounded. It was too late. react,
Liu Xin still ate the roast leg of lamb in his hand unhurriedly, without making any evasive movements. Seeing those few cold lights like lightning, only a few steps away from Liu Xin, Sun Ce suddenly figured. In a flash, the domineering knife on his waist was out of its sheath, a blade of light flashed, and a few triangular darts fell on the ground.
The musician was not surprised when he missed a hit. Instead, there was an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. He murmured not knowing what he was talking about. Yansai was so close, but he heard clearly, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Your Majesty. Is there any discomfort,"
Over there, the young girl Hu Xuan had been dragged down from mid-air by Sister Kleia, and her two jade-like arms had been pinched off on the spot. The girl couldn't bear the pain and passed out.
All this happened so quickly, until this time, the other musicians and dancers in the hall had time to scream, and there was chaos in the hall.
Liu Xin stood up slowly, threw the lamb leg bones in his hand in front of the musician, and said faintly: "How can I help me with three mere needles?"
Everyone could see clearly that the lamb's leg bone had turned black without knowing when, and there were three fine silver needles stuck in it, swaying incessantly.
The musician exclaimed: "You, how did you find out,"
It turns out that the Hu Xuan dancer does not know how to martial arts, but she has been practicing dance for a long time, and her skills are very flexible. She jumped, and her aura was quite amazing, but she was just a cover for others. She did not have any lethality at all, so Only then can I be easily captured by Sister Kleia, but the real killer is the musician,
The musician's shot was very vicious. The few darts sent earlier were also false moves. The ultimate move was the three highly poisonous ox hair needles. These three ox hair needles were so subtle that they were hard to find hidden in the cold light of the darts. This method has been tried and tested repeatedly, but I didn’t expect to lose my hand today.
At this time, the Feihu guards who had reacted had taken control of all the musicians and dancers in the hall. Even Mozhiti and Yansai each had a steel knife on their necks, and the monarch and the minister were already looking. Like earth,
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "It's none of the two of them."
The guards got the order and released Mozhiti and Yansai. The two knelt in front of Liu Xin, knocked their heads again and again, begging for forgiveness.
Liu Xin smiled and helped them both up and said: "I know you will never assassinate me. If you really want to assassinate, you will probably not be with me here, but this assassin is indeed a good method, he thought Kill two birds with one stone,"
It took a long time for Mo Zhiti to come back to his senses, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what is two birds with one stone,"
Liu Xin sneered: "If he succeeds in the assassination, do you two still want to survive? Think about it carefully, who is the most beneficial to such a result?"
Mozhiti and Yansai glanced at each other, both in cold sweat.
Liu Xin suddenly said with a serious face: "Although he was the one who assassinated me, but the target was both of you. This is an internal matter in Dawan of you, so I won't have to ask too much. I hope you will find out the results as soon as possible and give me an explanation. "
Both Maziti and Yansai are only mere promises, and a well-prepared welcome banquet ended in a hurry. Maziti, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the room where you rest is ready. The king also selected two beauties to wait for your majesty to go to bed. Your majesty invites you to come here."
According to the "Treaty of Shule", Dawan pays tribute to a group of young girls every year. These young girls who will be sent to Chang'an this year are receiving etiquette training in the palace. Letting them give Liu Xin a sleeping book is one of the training content. Even without these girls, Morzhiti will make corresponding arrangements.
Liu Xin's face sank, and he screamed: "Majiti, I think you haven't figured out the situation. The assassin has already been in the band. Can't you be in other places? Your palace is already for me. It’s not very safe, now you should understand why I must be guarded by my own soldiers,"
Mozhiti didn't dare to persuade anymore, and the two of them bowed and walked out.
Sun Ce stepped forward and said, "Father, what should I do with these two assassins?"
Liu Xin sighed and said, "I did too much. These two are considered loyal and brave men for Dawan. Leave them a complete body."
In fact, this musician and dancer should not have been in the Dawan Palace for a year or two. If they really want to deal with Morzhiti, there will be opportunities. Therefore, Liu Xin can be sure that the goals of these two people should be very clear. That is for myself. I have never met these two people. It stands to reason that they do not have a deep hatred with myself, so why put yourself to death
There is only one reason, and that is that Liu Xin's performance in Guishan City is too strong, which arouses the dissatisfaction of some Dawan people. Most Dawan people have to bury their dissatisfaction in their hearts, but this musician has the opportunity to get in touch. When I arrived at Liu Xin, that’s why I took the risk.
Although Liu Xin has roughly figured out the reasons for this, the musician and dancer still need to die. Not to mention that the musician is a dangerous person. Just because they assassinated themselves, Liu Xin would not be able to keep them alive. However, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Liu Xin. How to deal with the relationship between countries is not based on whoever has a strong fist, who makes sense.
There was nothing for a night. The assassination was only a small episode for Liu Xin, but it would have a significant impact on the situation in Dawan. Mozhi Ti was forced by Liu Xin’s pressure and would definitely affect the Dawan nobles. The dissident elements in China carried out a large-scale purge. After this purge, Dawan’s political situation will be completely controlled by pro-Han forces, creating a favorable situation for Liu Xin to bring Dawan under the control of the Western Regions Protector in the future. condition,
As the sky lighted up, Liu Xin bid farewell to the monarchs and ministers of Mozhiti, left Guishan City and continued westward. An hour later, he entered the territory of Kangju. A large grassland appeared in front of Liu Xin. A group of cattle and sheep were running freely on the grassland. The male and female herders sang unrestrained love songs,
Liu Xin's mood gradually became tense, and she squeezed her fist lightly, and said in her heart, Kang Ju, I'm here.
