The sound of bowstrings is endless, like a heavy rain.
However, amidst the sound of the heavy rain, Wei Changying and his party were surprised to find that the expected pain did not come for a long time.
They opened their eyes in confusion, and a stunned scene appeared - almost all of the Di people who originally surrounded them had three or five arrows stuck in them, howling and rolling down in the grass, cursing!
The leader who had shouted to persuade him to surrender was almost turned into a hedgehog!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Diecuiguan.
The closed door of Diecui Pass has indeed been opened, and a group of knights are rushing towards this direction at lightning speed. Their intention to help is obvious. The problem is - in the eyes of those with the best eyesight, they are still like ants. Such a distance... Even if the archery skills are exquisite, how can one be saved
"Look over there!" A guard looked around and shouted!
Looking in the direction he pointed, to the northeast, a group of people who had obviously been ambushing just now, and who still had traces of dirt and grass on their bodies, were approaching little by little with bows in their hands.
What made Wei Changying's heart sink was that this group of people had deep eyes and high noses, and their appearance was very different from that of the Wei people, but they were still Di people.
Their numbers were not as large as the Di people who surrounded Guard Chief Ying and his party, but their archery skills were definitely better. Otherwise, even if it were a surprise attack, it would be impossible for such a large group of Di people to be completely destroyed without even being able to fire an arrow!
Shocked by their archery skills in killing their own people before, Guard Chief Ying and his party did not dare to move under the direction of their bowstrings.
But when this group of people came closer, they saw one of them wave his hand, and the group of people immediately stopped, and even lowered their bows, indicating that they would not attack.
Wei Changying looked intently and was slightly startled. The man who seemed to be the leader of this group of Di people was actually a young man.
According to Wei people's standards, he should be seventeen or eighteen years old. But Di was born taller than Wei people, so he should be smaller.
This young man from Di had sunken eyes, a straight nose, and pursed thin lips. Although he was of different races, he looked handsome to Wei people's eyes. He threw down his bow, saber and other weapons in public to show that he had no hostility, and walked towards Guard Chief Ying alone.
When they walked about three feet in front of Wei Changying, the guards subconsciously raised their bows. Shen Tian shouted to stop, and the young Di man had no intention of continuing to move forward. He stopped three feet away, spread out his arms, and said in unskilled Chinese but with an obvious imperial accent: "According to the order of Dashan Yu Ayitahu, make peace with the state of Wei."
Seeing that Guard Chief Ying and his party were stunned and speechless, the young man added, "Those people just now are from the tribe of Wugumeng. The white horse this lady is riding was also sold by Wugumeng to Diecui Gatekeeper through a traitor. In fact, it was Wugumeng’s most beloved horse. We killed Wugumeng’s people and saved you just to show Ayitahu’s sincerity.”
Wei Changying glanced at the team rushing over not far away from the corner of his eyes, signaling to Shen Tian not to continue blocking his way.
She walked out of the guard of "Thorn Fence" and said to the young man: "Thank you very much, but I heard that your predecessor, Great Chan Yu Mushuer, was Ayitahu's brother."
The young Di man said calmly: "Mu Xiuer used a trick to seize the position that should have belonged to Ayitahu Great Chanyu. If you don't kill him, Ayitahu Great Chanyu will not let him go. So. The Great Chanyu has no hatred for you, but is very grateful to you. On the contrary, he is the eldest son of Mushuer. Mushuer also said that he would pass on the position of the Great Chanyu to him in the future, so he is very grateful to you. You Wei people have a deep hatred. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used my most beloved horse to set up today’s trap to harm you, right?”
Wei Changying thought quickly: Shen Zangfeng said that after the death of Mu Xiuer, his eldest son Wugumeng and his brother Ayitahu fought for the throne and became enemies. Regarding Mushuer's death, Ayitahu, who had tried to seize the throne when Mushuer was still alive, must be very happy; and as Mushuer's eldest son and Mushuer's promised heir, Wu But Gu Meng is not like that... Thinking about it this way, what this young man from Di said is true.
However, Ayitahu was a Di people after all. During the last Wei Dynasty's great victory, they hunted down the Di people for thousands of miles and plundered mountains of property and heads. There was no Wei person among them to distinguish whether the tribes that were killed and plundered tended to belong to Wugumeng or Ayitahu. Even Ayitahu himself was chased and fled in panic.
Will Ayitahu really feel grateful and not hateful to the Wei people just because Mushuer died
But if it weren't for these people just now, he would indeed be dead. It can be seen that even if Ayitahu has some conspiracy, at least he is very sincere now.
Wei Changying said in a deep voice: "You are indeed very sincere, but I am just a woman, and I cannot make the final decision on this matter."
The young man from Di said calmly: "It doesn't matter, your husband is also in Diecuiguan now, isn't he? Look, he seems to be among the people who came to pick you up."
They were placed in the post station at Diecuiguan to rest and wait for Shen Zangfeng's reply. Since they had rescued Wei Changying before, even though all weapons were taken away at this moment and they were asked not to leave the inn, they were treated very well. generous.
The sumptuous feast made the Di people's mouths water with saliva, including their leader, the young man named Mo Ye.
In the bustle of drinking and drinking, a Di man saw that there was no Wei man around, so he approached Mo Ye and asked in a low voice in Di language: "Why did you save that Wei noble lady during the day? Shan Yu clearly asked us to wait for Wu Gu After Meng's people succeeded in kidnapping or killing someone, they killed Wu Gumeng's people as a sign of sincerity to discuss peace talks with the Wei people! Wouldn't it be better to deepen the hatred between the Wei people and Wu Gumeng's people? I heard that the noble lady from Wei is of high status and is the wife of Shen Zangfeng, the next head of the Shen family. She also gave birth to a son! "
Mo Ye drank heavily and sneered: "Tulu'er, I know what you are thinking! In the past when Mushur was here, you relied on your uncle to be a warrior under Mushur, and you kept bullying me. Now look at me Are you jealous of me being valued by the Great Chanyu, so you're afraid you won't find any leverage against me?"
Turul was furious! Subconsciously he put his hands on his waist and got nothing. Then he remembered that the weapons had already been taken away by the Wei people. He turned around and lifted up Mo Ye's clothes and said angrily: "Mo Ye, you little bastard! "
"boom!"
A heavy punch hit Turul in the middle of the nose, causing him to fall off the seat and even several feet away. His nose was bleeding!
This incident shocked the people in Di who were eating and drinking. They all stopped and looked over. For a moment, the whole hall was silent!
"Mo Ye, what are you doing?" Someone stood up subconsciously and came to stop Mo Ye, who wanted to give Tuo Lu'er a kick. He scolded, "This is the place of the Wei people. You don't have to teach Tuo Lu'er a lesson." It’s such a disgrace to us Di people!”
Mo Ye glanced at the Di man coldly, then suddenly leaned over and grabbed a half-drunk wine jar at hand, and hit him on the head lightly! The Di man was beaten to a bloody head, screamed and fell to the ground!
"Mo Ye, you are crazy!" More people from Di stood up and rolled up their sleeves - but were frightened by the iron order raised by Mo Ye. They did not dare to come forward and take action. They could only stand where they were and said angrily, "Yes." So what about the Eagle Order given by Great Chanyu? How could you treat your tribe like this!"
"When the Great Chanyu entrusted me with the negotiation with Weihe, I said that I would rather come to Diecuiguan alone than a group of disobedient subordinates!" Mo Ye's eyes were like lightning, and he looked around fiercely. Some Di people did not dare to look at him. He held an iron order and said loudly, "But the Great Chanyu still asked you to come together, and made you swear in front of him that you will not look down on me or listen to me because of my life experience." my words!"
He slapped the iron order onto the dining table in front of him, slapped several pots of dishes aside and ignored it, and said coldly, "If you think you don't have to abide by the oath you swore to the Great Chanyu, I'll do it when I get back." , I will report everything to the Great Chanyu truthfully! If you still cherish your parents, your wives and children, and care about them and cannot bear to have them become slaves, you'd better make it clear to me who the leader of the peace talks is personally appointed by the Great Chanyu! I’m not you, understand?”
... The Di people looked at each other and sat down slowly. One of the older Di people said in a deep voice: "You are right. Even though your father is from Wei, you were raised by your mother." Yes, it was the warriors of Wangzhang who taught you this skill of bow and horse! The Wei people have never looked for you. It was us Di people who raised you, and you are a Di people! Now that the Great Chanyu believes in you, we can't either. Because your life experience will despise you again."
The Di man looked around and said, "From now on, anyone who insults Mo Ye because of his life experience will no longer be our companions! Do you agree?"
After a while, everyone nodded slowly.
The Di man from before sighed again and said: "Although Tuolu'er has been bullying you since you were a child, this is the place of the Wei people, and we are here for peace talks. If we kill each other here, we will be seen by the Wei people." It’s a joke. So I suggest you let him go this time. If he does it again, you can just kill him. It’s not difficult for you, isn’t it
Mo Ye frowned and listened to everyone's support for this Di man. He knew that the team for the peace talks was nominally dominated by him. In fact, even if he took out the Eagle Order rewarded by Da Chanyu, the prestige of this Di man was still not the same. He could replace it, so he was silent for a long time, but he still had to nod.
Seeing this situation, the Di man breathed a sigh of relief and asked his two companions in a low voice to help Tuo Lü'er and the Di man who had just spoken for Tuo Lü'er down to the Wei people for diagnosis and treatment: "Fortunately, the Wei people did not send The waiter will stay here to serve you. After you go out, say that the two of them drank too much and went crazy and accidentally injured each other. "
Mo Ye looked coldly at this man arranging things one after another, ordering people to clean up the mess and give confessions, as if he was the leader of the trip. All the people in Di were willing to obey this man's instructions. From time to time, some people glanced at Mo Ye. Mo Ye glanced at him, turned around, and sneered secretly - but Mo Ye just took a sip of wine, his eyes calm. (To be continued)
