Chapter 390 "Killing two Mohe barbarians is nothing special."
(Thanks to reader 110619220240612 for casting 2 monthly tickets.)
Yelü Jiujin huddled in the corner of the tent, staring incredulously at the two sides about to fight.
"Yes, that's you. There are female generals among you Han people now?"
At first, Lu Guang didn't realize that Yelü Jiujin was talking to him.
When Yelü Jiujin asked him again in his strangely accented Chinese, Lu Guang finally realized that Yelü Jiujin was talking to him.
Before Lu Guang could reply to Yelü Jiujin, Li Shiyue and the Sixth Prince's group, or rather, Bora's group, had already started fighting in the center of the tent!
The clanging of blades clashing echoed repeatedly, and within moments, the stench of blood filled the tent.
After the smell of blood, someone will naturally die.
When someone else fell to the ground, the sixth prince, who was hiding behind the barbarian soldiers, was completely enraged!
He shoved aside the guards blocking his way, gripped his scimitar, and charged toward the center of the tent!
No!
It should be said that he rushed towards Li Shiyue!
When Zhou Yiran saw that the Sixth Prince had also joined the chaotic battle, his heart skipped a beat again.
"Killing two Mohe barbarians is not a big deal."
But if even the sixth prince of the Turks is killed... that will eventually cause some trouble.
Zhou Yiran was pulled away by his servants to hide with Xie Mingyue and Mr. Zhou in a certain place. He watched the three-way hand-to-hand combat in the center of the tent and thought to himself.
However, fate did not give Li Shiyue the chance to kill the Sixth Prince with a single blow.
Because the new Khan arrived with his men, under the powerful bows, everyone put down their swords and sat down together again.
The corpses inside the tent had already been moved outside by the Turkic soldiers in pairs, one lifting the head and the other the foot, and placed alongside the two barbarian soldiers and three Xie family servants who had died in the market.
Oh no, there are two exceptions!
Wu Yi, the Mohe barbarian who had his head chopped off by Li Shiyue, and another Mohe barbarian were moved outside by five Turkic soldiers.
A person is holding the head in the left hand and the severed arm in the right;
The other four people paired up and lifted themselves up.
Even though the tent flap was wide open, the strong stench of blood inside still made Zhou Yiran very uncomfortable.
Even though he felt uncomfortable, Zhou Yiran still had to pretend that he couldn't smell it and was unaffected.
"Khan, please forgive me!"
"This matter today is absolutely not something that Lieutenant Li of Andong..."
The newly appointed Turkic Khan, seated at the head of the table, looked down at Zhou Yiran, who had been speaking non-stop for what seemed like the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. He knew in his heart that this matter was not going to be resolved easily.
After explaining the whole story to the new Khan, Zhou Yiran straightened up, looked up slightly at the new Khan who was sitting above him with an unchanging expression, and solemnly said in a loud voice, "...That's how it is!"
I know for certain that this was not done by the Khan on the orders of the Sixth Prince!
I believe that the Khan will not break the agreement on friendly trade and mutual commerce with Andong!
The Khan certainly didn't want to provoke a war between the Turks and Andong!
Could it be...?
Zhou Yiran stared at the new Khan with an incredulous look on his face, then turned slightly to Li Shiyue, who was standing silently to the side with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said, "Lieutenant Li, today we will fight them to the death!"
With a dark expression, Liang Yongkang translated Zhou Yiran's words to the new Khan at an extremely fast pace, without missing a single one.
The new Khan was somewhat bewildered. He hadn't even said a word yet, so why was it going to be a bloody battle?
Zhou Yiran, who was standing below, had already turned his back to the new Khan. He rolled up his sleeves and winked at Li Shiyue. Then he said loudly, "Although I am not good at fighting, I am quite talented in archery among the six arts of a gentleman."
Lieutenant Li, give me your bow. If we can return to Andong alive, then…”
Zhou Yiran was interrupted by Liang Yongkang before he could finish speaking.
"What are you saying, Military Advisor Zhou?"
How could our Khan be such a person who doesn't know right from wrong and shouts for war?
Military Advisor Zhou, please calm down!
We will certainly give your delegation a satisfactory answer regarding today's matter!
The task of resolving the conflict after much back and forth was left to Zhou Yiran.
Of course, Li Shiyue also left Wang Datou and Chen Yong behind to protect Zhou Yiran, who was so fragile.
As for Li Shiyue herself?
She then escorted Xie Mingyue and the others out of the tent to return to their lodgings to treat their injuries.
The person who escorted Li Shiyue and the others back was Bora, the leader of the patrol soldiers.
As Li Shiyue and the others left, Lu Guang and Yelü Jiujin, the two people who had been brought here by Bora for questioning, stared at Li Shiyue's departing figure until they could no longer see him. Only then did they turn around and look at Zhou Yiran and Liang Yongkang, who were now face to face, exchanging three sentences for every one of their words, engaging in a fierce verbal battle.
Negotiations and discussions on how to resolve this matter are a matter for Zhou Yiran and Liang Yongkang.
The new Khan and the sixth prince left early on after Li Shiyue and the others.
Of course, whoever's body it was, that family would take it back themselves.
By this time, it had already gotten dark. The new Khan looked at the sixth prince, whose face was gloomy, and he was at his wit's end.
Why?
The sixth prince knew that the new Khan's question was not about why he had tried to steal Xie Mingyue's brocade and salt;
The new Khan was asking the Sixth Prince why, despite having a large enough force, he hadn't stopped Xie Mingyue and his group from the start, instead allowing Bora, the Eighth Prince She'er's cousin, and his patrolmen to find them!
At the same time, the new Khan was also asking why, despite the large number of barbarian soldiers led by the Sixth Prince, they had not stopped Li Shiyue from killing their men!
Silence spread through the tent.
The sixth prince lowered his head and stared silently at the beautifully patterned carpet spread on the floor of the golden tent.
He didn't know what to say.
He said that he was strolling around the market as usual when he heard that a new Han merchant had arrived. Out of curiosity, he took his cousins to take a look. Unexpectedly, the stall had the finest brocade and snow-white fine salt!
Driven by greed, he decided to find a pretext to rob it directly.
He only intended to steal the goods and leave, but who knew that his martial arts-skilled cousin would develop feelings for the Han woman.
For the sixth prince, everything that happened afterward was like a dream.
At this moment, the sixth prince, standing in front of the new Khan, still could not believe that his two cousins had died!
And they all died in gruesome ways!
"Hehe, what's wrong?"
What does the Khan want me to do?
"Are you going to hand me over to appease the anger of the Andong envoy?"
Zhou Yiran, who was mentioned by the Sixth Prince, did not appear as strong as he had been in front of the new Khan.
He sighed deeply at Liang Yongkang, "Inspector Liang, everyone's gone, please sit down."
Liang Yongkang was stunned, and Lu Guang and Yelü Jiujin, who could understand Chinese, also stared blankly at Zhou Yiran.
