Chapter 663 Accountability
When Lei Yu heard this, he immediately frowned.
Everyone on the grassland knew it, and she knew it even better. Ashina Tsari was cruel and cruel, and he would retaliate against his enemies. He did this to his own subjects, let alone his enemies.
What's more, she is the wife of Yu Wenye, who once blinded his eyes with an arrow in Yanmen County.
Even if I barely managed to save Shang Ruyi last night, she is in the Western Turks and is always on the edge of the knife. Ashina Zari will be angry once he sees her, and Shang Ruyi will be angry once. Her life would be in danger, so last night she repeatedly reminded Shang Ruyi not to leave her tent easily even if she was free to move, and to avoid meeting Ashina Tsari.
Unexpectedly, Ashina Zari would let the two of them go to today's bonfire party.
Lei Yu vaguely felt that he was afraid that the intentions behind it were not good.
Thinking of this, she said: "My friend traveled a long way to Turks. She fell ill last night and got better just now. Don't let her go to the bonfire party tonight."
Ashina Zhuxie said: "I told Father Khan the same thing."
"Then——"
"But Father Khan insisted."
"..."
"I think you should let her pass."
Ashina Zhuxie crossed Lei Yu's Looking above her head, she was blocked behind her with a solemn expression. Shang Ruyi looked at Lei Yu, then looked at Lei Yu's frowning eyebrows and said, "If Father Khan lets her go, he may only embarrass her; but if she doesn't go, Father Khan won't just embarrass her."
“…!”
Shang Ruyi's breathing tightened.
In fact, just now, when she heard Prince Zhu Xie say that Khan Zhali wanted the two of them to go to the bonfire party together, she knew in her heart that tonight's scene was unavoidable. After all, as Yu Wenye's wife, no matter what her relationship with Yu Wenye was, Ashina Tsari could not let her come to Western Turks and live peacefully.
But I didn’t expect that this Ashina Zhuxie was just a rough man on the grassland, but he had such a meticulous mind.
This person is extraordinary...
Thinking like this, she raised her head again and met Lei Yu’s worried eyes as he turned back to look at her. She obviously understood that Ashina Zhu Xie meant that he was worried about Shang Ruyi's safety, but he There was not much room for refusal, and Shang Ruyi did not make it difficult for her. He just smiled lightly and said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. It just so happens that I haven't participated in a bonfire party on the grassland for many years. Taking advantage of this opportunity , you can go and have a look.”
Hearing this, Ashina Zhu Xie was slightly startled: "Have you ever been to the grassland?"
Lei Yu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shook his head gently at Shang Ruyi, and Shang Ruyi then turned around God comes - the people of Western Turks only know that Yu Wenye is married, and they only know that they are Yu Wenye's wife, but they don't know that Yu Wenye's wife is her, Shang Ruyi.
That is, Shang Ruohong’s daughter.
Back then, Shang Ruohong and Princess Qiancheng joined forces to split the Eastern and Western Turks, greatly reducing their strength and blocking Ashina Tsari's plan to go south. In contrast, Yu Wenye was in Yanmen County It seems that the hatred of one stone is not as deep as the hatred between him and the Western Turks.
If they knew that she was Shang Ruohong's daughter, with Ashina Zari's character of revenge, I'm afraid that the sheep that would be roasted at the bonfire tonight would not be the same sheep.
So she said perfunctorily: "I, I just, heard of it before."
"Oh?"
Ashina Zhuxie raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her again, his eyes flickered But he didn't say anything else. He was silent for a while, and then said: "No matter what, it is Father Khan's order, and you must respect it. Come over quickly."
After saying that, he looked at it again and his face turned slightly. Bai Leiyu glanced at him and turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Lei Yu immediately turned around and said to Shang Ruyi in a low voice with cold sweat on his face: "I almost forgot about this. Your identity must be kept secret, here in the Western Turks I only know that you are Mrs. Yuwen and Princess Qin, but I don’t know your origins. You must be careful not to leak the truth, otherwise——”
Shang Ruyi nodded: "I understand."
"Then, go back with me first, and I will find some Turkic clothes for you to change into, so that you don't stand out too much."
" Okay.”
Because I’m not on a mission, I can’t talk about the integrity of my clothes, and my clothes are really cold compared to the grassland. It was a little thin, so Shang Ruyi didn't embarrass himself, so he followed Lei Yu and put on a long leather jacket, which was tightly wrapped from his neck to his ankles. There was only a hemp rope tied around his waist, and he wore a long leather jacket. On a pair of leather boots, except for her bun, which was still the style of a Central Plains woman that Lei Yu helped her style, Shang Ruyi already looked like a Turk.
Then, the two people left the tent and walked to the beach of the Cangtou River.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the golden net that had been spread on the grassland just now was gradually put away. However, the light did not dim, because the surrounding Turks all held torches in their hands, although they did not light the pile. In the middle of the river beach, there was a firewood pile that was almost as big as a tent. However, they still lit several small bonfires around the firewood pile, and the firelight once again illuminated the vast grassland.
As the sky gets darker, there are more and more people around.
Due to his status, Shang Ruyi followed Lei Yu and sat at the front of the crowd. The darkness behind him was almost full of human heads. These people were all wearing thick leather jackets, talking loudly and laughing in the cold and humid air. There was laughter and laughter, but also a sour smell of sweat. Although Shang Ruyi was not used to it, it was not uncomfortable. He just sat quietly on the leather felt and whispered to Lei Yu from time to time.
After a while, a biting cold wind blew.
Shang Ruyi shuddered, and when he turned his head, he saw the tall and burly figure of Ashina Tsari, leading the princes and nobles of Western Turks who accompanied him in the royal tent yesterday. He slowly walked over, and the person holding one of his arms was still the enchanting Mrs. Jia Yuan. Ashina Zhuxie lowered his head and followed him silently.
Seeing him approaching, the Turks around him immediately stood up and saluted the Khan.
Today, Ashina Zari's face looked much better than yesterday in the king's tent. He slowly walked to the main seat and sat down. Mrs. Jia Yuan still knelt behind him, and Ashina Zhuxie sat on the leather rug on the other side. As soon as he sat down, a servant immediately brought freshly roasted, sizzling and oily mutton and placed it in front of them, as well as a large jar of wine.
Ashina Zari waved his hand: "Light the fire!"
With the order, those standing around the pyre threw all their torches onto the tall pyre. .
Just listen to the sound of "boom" and the flames rise.
Shang Ruyi only felt his eyes light up, and then a wave of heat hit his face, and even bigger was the sound coming from behind them. As soon as they saw the bonfire lit, the Turkic people around them immediately cheered, some danced, and some sang. , there was constant laughter and laughter around the bonfire, and the princes and nobles sitting around the bonfire also began to pick up wine glasses, and for a while they drank and drank, and it was very lively.
Shang Ruyi and Lei Yu were not in the mood to sing and dance with them, so they just sat quietly in their seats, feeling the warmth of the flames blowing towards them with the wind, blowing her away. I was sweating a lot.
But soon, there was a hint of coldness in the warmth.
It was Ashina Zari’s gaze. After sitting down, he drank while looking around. After inspecting his people, the cold and sharp light from his remaining eye fell on Shang Ruyi, and his fierce eyes It was like a handful, and it scraped her face hard, as if it wanted to cut off a piece of flesh.
At this moment, a pair of soft hands held a wine glass and presented it to him.
Ashina Zari turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Nagamoto. As soon as he saw her, the evil and fierce look in the eyes of the Zari Khan faded away, and he took the palm-sized wine glass. , raised his head and took a big sip, Mrs. Jia Yuan said a few soft words in his ear one after another, which made him happy and laughing loudly.
When Khan smiled like this, the people around him became even more excited, singing and dancing more and more enthusiastically.
In such a cheerful atmosphere, Lei Yu leaned into Shang Ruyi's ear and whispered: "Drink a few more drinks. When they are drunk and cannot recognize people, we will go back."
Shang Ruyi nodded hurriedly.
But at this moment, in the distance, on the other side of the Cangtou River, there was suddenly a messy sound of horse hooves.
Although the people here were singing and dancing, they were very alert. Immediately, a group of people rushed to the river to carefully identify the person coming. Ashina Zari also stopped drinking and looked at it with thick eyebrows. Watching the approaching firelight in the pitch-black night on the other side of the river.
After a while, a soldier rushed to Ashina Tsari, knelt down and said: "Khan!"
Ashuna Tsari said: "What's the matter?"< br>
The soldier said: "It's General Pasha, he came back from Taiyuan with his people!"
"What!?"
As soon as he heard this, Ashina Tsari's eyes suddenly became sharp again, and those around him who were still laughing, singing and dancing also stopped. , the entire river beach became quiet.
When Shang Ruyi heard the word "Taiyuan", he immediately became energetic.
Although she didn't know who the general Pasha was, since he came back from Taiyuan, it was obvious that he was the garrison Ashina Tsari sent to Taiyuan to collude with Wang Shao and his brothers.
Now, since Taiyuan has been lost, these people are naturally defeated generals. Unexpectedly, they came back?
When the surrounding Turks heard these words, they all had different expressions on their faces. When Shang Ruyi raised his head, in addition to seeing Ashina Tsari suddenly showing anger again, he also saw When Mrs. Jia Yuan arrived behind him, the expression on her face seemed to change as the firelight flickered.
Also, Ashina Zhuxie, who has been sitting next to them, has been silent since the beginning of the bonfire party, and does not drink much. He only looks at Lei Yu and his direction from time to time. , his face immediately darkened, but he did not show any unnecessary emotions, and only narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this time, a "pop" sound was heard!
I saw Ashina Satsari slamming the wine glass in his hand on the table. Suddenly, the iron cup was dented by his forceful slap. The wine splashed, and Ashina Satsari’s face was revealed. He said ferociously: "They dare to come back!"
Seeing him like this, the surrounding princes and nobles all became quiet. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, not daring to take a breath.
Ashina Zari said: "Tie the man up for me!"
"Yes!"
The soldier accepted the order and immediately ran down.
The entire bonfire party was so quiet at this moment that only the sound of the wind and the neighing of war horses could be heard in the distance. After a while, a sturdy man tied his hands and stumbled over. , walked all the way to Ashina Tsari, and knelt down with a thud.
“Khan!”
This man is the garrison of Taiyuan, the Turkic general Pasha.
Shang Ruyi carefully identified him, but he didn’t recognize him. Moreover, he was facing him from the side, and he could only barely make out his appearance. He was strong, bearded, and wearing leather armor. There were also several cuts and blood stains. It was obvious that he had to escape and return here after experiencing a bloody battle in Taiyuan.
Seeing him, Ashina Zari smiled instead of being angry and said: "Pasha, you are still alive..."
As soon as he heard this, General Pasha He shuddered, and immediately fell down and kowtowed towards Ashina Tsari, saying repeatedly: "The general deserves to die!"
"You deserve to die!"
Ashina Zari gritted his teeth, as ferocious as a bloodthirsty wolf, and said viciously: "Taiyuan, I gave it to you, but you lost it? If you don't deserve to die, who should!"< br>
After saying that, he said no more and waved his hand: "Cut him!"
After the order was given, several warriors came forward with swords and surrounded him. General Pasha was about to take action.
"Khan, Khan, wait a minute!"
General Pasha had his hands tied behind his back and fell to the ground as soon as he kowtowed. At this moment, he could only struggle and could not speak idioms. On the contrary, it was Ashina Zari who was behind him Mrs. Jiayuan, she said softly: "Khan, General Pasha deserves to be killed when he loses Taiyuan and loses his troops. However, Khan also has to figure out what is the reason why he was allowed to guard Taiyuan, but he was not allowed to do so." Lost.”
After saying that, a pair of charming eyes gently glanced to the side.
"Don't, wrongly accuse a good person."
As she looked over, Ashina Zhu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face became cold and dangerous.
Hearing her words, it was as if he had received a revelation. The general Pasha, who had his whole face buried in the ground, suddenly raised his head from the grass, his forehead covered with mud and rain. He was in a state of embarrassment, but he struggled and said: "The general deserves to die, but if the reinforcements sent by Khan to Taiyuan can arrive as scheduled, Taiyuan will not be lost!"
Hearing this, Ah Shi Nazhali's eye suddenly widened.
The next moment, he turned his head and looked at his eldest son angrily.
He regretted the whip yesterday after he pulled it out, and later he asked Ashina Zhuxie to go down in a mixture of regret and anger. However, today he heard that the reason why Taiyuan was lost was precisely because of him. The reinforcements did not arrive as expected, and anger rushed up like a flame again, burning his reason and the few remaining regrets and feelings.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Xie, what do you say!"
Sorry, I have to do something today, so the update is late
