The sudden change made the prairie people in the tent terrified. They looked at the blood-spitting corpse of the yellow-headed chief with doubts and puzzlement on their faces. They couldn't figure out why the other party was killed suddenly.
Only Yue Liduo, who was kneeling on the ground like a puppet, seemed to come to life at this moment, staring at the fallen body of the other party, showing a ferocious smile, and let out a laugh like a ghost.
Their own chief was killed. After the initial shock, all the strong men with yellow heads were furious. They all turned their heads and bowed, roaring like beasts at Li Ye. Several of the grumpy ones were about to rush towards Li Ye.
However, King Qi, who had just returned to his seat with the chief's head in his hand, just turned his head and stared at them. The powerful force of his cultivation crushed him like a tide. Clouds of blood mist.
This kind of strength made it difficult for all the angry grassland monks in the tent to even breathe.
At this time, they realized very clearly how big the gap in strength was between them and King Qi, and how small the grassland tribe was compared to the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty.
The tent fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Saliko, the chief of the Tatar tribe, looked at Li Ye's expressionless face, and then suddenly woke up. The smile on the other side had disappeared for a long time, and it had nothing to do with being fascinated by beauty.
It was a kind of angry coldness, and in those bottomless eyes, there seemed to be an abyss that could bury everyone!
He felt a chilling fear.
Saliko hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, complaining with extreme grievances: "His Royal Highness King An, please show me where we have offended your might of God, and made you impose such a heavy punishment... Our reverence and respect for you comes from the bottom of our hearts, and we have absolutely no second thoughts... "
Turning his head to look at Saliko who was lying on his stomach like a maggot, Yue Liduo's scarlet eyes shone with extreme hatred.
Li Ye took a sip of the grape wine unhurriedly, glanced at the trembling Saliko, and the strong Tatar tribe who seemed to be at a loss in the face of an unexpected natural disaster, and shook his head, "Sometimes I'm curious, Knowing that you are weak and that the person you serve is powerful, why do you still use all kinds of tricks to try to fool the other party? Do you think Gu is stupid, or is your mind blinded by interests?"
Saliko trembled when he heard this.
He finally realized that Li Ye was still dissatisfied with what the Tatars and Huangtou had done in the west building... But Li Ye had never stopped smiling since he got the money, and he didn't treat them like that. Anyone who shows any anger, why is he suddenly attacking now
Saliko couldn't help but look back at Yue Liduo.
Seeing Yue Liduo's eyes that wanted to crush her to ashes, Saliko couldn't help but trembled again.
Could it be because of this woman? In order to win the beauty's heart, Li Ye wants to vent his anger on the beauty
If this is the case, the heads of the yellow-headed chief and a few strong men should be enough... At most, another batch of Khitan slaves will be released... .
Thinking of this, Saliko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded to Li Ye: "It's all our fault for our ignorance, lack of determination, and failure to control our desires. Please forgive me, Your Highness King An!"
Li Ye went to war for a woman, which made Saliko quite dissatisfied, but the other party has this strength, and acts ruthlessly, without any scruples at all, even if Saliko has complaints, he dare not express half of it, and can only cooperate with the other party.
Li Ye snorted, "You know you're wrong?"
Saliko nodded hastily.
Li Ye hummed, noncommittal, "In this case, all the Khitans enslaved by you should be released immediately, and I will let Master Wang take over them, and then resettle them in a unified way."
Saliko's heart suddenly surged with turmoil, he raised his head in disregard of etiquette, and asked in disbelief: "You want to release all the Khitans?!"
He was screaming crazily in his heart: In order to please a woman, he actually wanted to release one hundred thousand Khitan slaves? Isn't this something only a subjugated and faint king would do? !
When Yue Liduo heard this, it was as if she heard the sounds of nature, she raised her head and looked at Li Ye in surprise and joy, her pale face was flushed with excitement at this moment.
Li Ye just glanced at Saliko's expression, saw the grief and indignation in the other's eyes clearly, and immediately understood the other's mind.
This made him sneer, "Saliko, are you confused? Do you really think that if you violate the military order of Gu, Gu will act as if nothing happened? Can you make Gu turn a blind eye to his military order
"You were satisfied with Gu's attitude before, and Gu was willing to sell your friend's face and let you admit your mistakes, so you didn't show your anger. Unfortunately, you missed the opportunity. Now, you still have to use Yelu Abaoji's woman to bribe you , Confused the lonely heart?"
These words made Saliko stunned.
Only then did he realize where he was wrong.
Also realized how completely wrong he and the yellow-headed chief were.
He tasted the bitterness in his mouth, and he could only say in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King An's heart is naturally impossible to be bribed and confused..."
"It's not that you can't be bought." Li Ye chuckled, "It's just that you can't afford the price. Gu has the world in his heart, can you give the whole world to Gu?"
Saliko opened his mouth and was speechless for a while. Finally, he could only touch his head to the ground, "His Royal Highness King An's heart is indeed beyond the reach of us people. I will issue an order to release all Khitan slaves... .”
Li Ye waved his hand, signaling Saliko to do it quickly, stood up and said to King Qi: "Whoever dares to refuse to accept, who dares to have objections, King Qi is welcome, just mobilize the army and monks to encircle and suppress."
King Qi naturally accepted the order generously.
When passing by Yue Liduo, Li Ye stopped, and added to King Qi: "This woman is to be dealt with by King Qi."
King Qi happily accepted the order.
Yue Liduo looked at Li Ye's back with disbelief on his face, his eyes were extremely complicated, and the nails of both hands were dug into the flesh of his palm.
Saliko thought of something at this time, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, the yellow head has lost the chief..."
Li Ye walked out of the big account non-stop, "Please ask King Qi to choose another one."
The yellow-headed strong men in the tent were originally in sorrow and anger, but when they heard this, their thoughts immediately came alive, and the eyes they looked at King Qi finally stopped being hostile. The color of flattery.
King Qi didn't look at these people, he helped Yue Liduo up himself, and showed a gentle smile: "Come with me, you will be free soon."
She is also a woman, and a woman who is also a king. When she saw Yue Liduo, she felt a sense of sympathy. She naturally regarded the yellow-headed and Tatar chief who regarded Yue Liduo as an object. To be a bandit.
When King Qi left the tent with the yellow-headed strong man to choose a new chief for them to carry out Li Ye's orders, the flattery on Saliko's face disappeared, but the panic in his eyes became more and more serious.
Looking at the body of the yellow-headed chief who was carried away, Saliko sighed and said sadly: "It seems that I was really wrong, very wrong."
The gray-bearded tribal elder also sighed, "We really shouldn't have violated King An's military order, but luckily it was the yellow-headed chief who died..."
Saliko turned his head and looked at the other party with dissatisfaction, as if he was complaining. The other party's words sounded like a pity that he did not die, "My mistake was not that I violated King An's military order, but that I didn't understand King An's mind. To reveal the bottom line, it’s because I didn’t see clearly the situation on the grassland.”
The elder was startled: "Where did you say that?"
Saliko sat down, drank a pot of wine in one breath, and then said angrily: "The Khitan Kingdom is the first country on the grassland that looks like the Central Plains Dynasty. It is different from the powerful tribes before, and it must be strong. More. I originally thought that for the sake of the stability of the grassland, King An would completely wipe out the eight tribes of Khitan and let them disappear from the grassland. Only in this way can future troubles be eliminated forever!
"I dared the soldiers to disregard King An's military order and plunder the West Building. It was also based on this fundamental idea. Originally, I thought, even if we did something wrong, as long as our actions are fundamentally in line with King An's mind, he will be fine." The punishment will only be symbolic. But I didn't expect... "
The elder didn't expect Saliko's behavior and such deep-seated considerations, he was a little stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer the question.
After a while, the elder pondered and said: "It turns out that the chief's enslavement of the Khitan people was not simply driven by interests."
Saliko glared at the elder and said angrily: "I am indeed greedy for Khitan's wealth, and I want to use it to grow the tribe, but I haven't reached the point where I will die!"
The elder said embarrassingly: "But the chief just said that he was wrong. Didn't King An intend to destroy the Khitan and eliminate the hidden dangers on the grassland?"
Saliko's eyes showed sadness, "I just realized it too. After the Khitan Kingdom has perished, in fact, for King An and the Tang Dynasty, the biggest hidden danger on the grassland is no longer the Khitan remnants... "

"Who is that?" the elder asked quickly.
Saliko said coldly: "It's us."
"Us?" The elder's eyes widened.
Saliko said sadly: "We plundered the West Tower, and our strength has greatly increased. In just a few years, the strength of the tribe will be several times that of its heyday, and then it will become one of the best clans on the grassland. In King An's opinion, that is quite In the second Khitan country...
"King An has a far-sighted vision beyond what I can wait for. He saw this, so he took the opportunity to attack today, and asked King Qi to use bloody means to frighten the audience, forcing us to release the Khitan slaves!
"You know, without the addition of tens of thousands of Khitan slaves, we will not be able to become stronger soon, or even, we cannot become stronger..."
The elder was dumbfounded.
What Saliko said was beyond the comprehension of his ordinary shepherd's head.
But he still understood what Saliko meant.
He swallowed hard: "Doesn't that mean that King An already regards us as enemies?"
"Enemies? We are not qualified to be the enemies of King An." Saliko smiled wryly, feeling dispirited. "When the Khitan Kingdom existed, we were allies; from the moment the Khitan Kingdom fell, we were the first to bear the brunt and became King An's main force." object of repression."
The elder immediately became panicked and stammered: "Chief, what should we do about this? Even the Khitan Kingdom is no match for the Tang Dynasty. If King An wants to destroy us, wouldn't we be destroyed soon?"
Saliko was very dissatisfied with the elder's unbearable behavior. He glanced at him and said coldly: "Stupid! What good does King An destroy us? If we are destroyed, other tribes will rise naturally.
"What King An wants is that we are not so powerful and cannot gain power on the grassland! If we want to truly control the grassland without trouble, we only need that there are no real powerful tribes on the grassland!"
The elder immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "The chief is really wise."
Saliko stood up and said helplessly: "So you should know now, what should you do next? When releasing the Khitan people, don't play tricks, otherwise, you and I will not be able to bear King An's thunderous anger." rise.
"Although we can no longer become a powerful tribe, the tribe is 100,000 people in size, but 200,000 people in size, but it's just in King An's mind!"
The elder patted his chest and said fiercely, "Don't worry, the chief, I'll arrange it right away. If anyone who doesn't have eyesight dares to make trouble, I'll let him die immediately!"
Saliko nodded, losing interest in speaking.
