Chapter 667 I can die, but I can’t lose
Everyone can hear that she said “willing or not”, but actually asked “do you dare”.
Ashi Nazali Nu did not speak immediately, but just gritted his teeth hard. Shang Ruyi could almost hear the rattling sound he made when he gritted his teeth, as if he was chewing her bones. The next moment, I saw a cold light flash in his eyes, and then in his extreme anger, he gave birth to a ferocious smile and said: "Of course."
"..."
Shang Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at him, without seeming to be too surprised, and just said: "Thank you Khan."
Ashina Zari said: "But who should I compete with you?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Since the Khan has agreed to my competition, for the rest, I will only follow the Khan's arrangements. ”
“Listen to my arrangement?”
As he said that, Ashina Zari slowly turned around and looked around. Although today is not a New Year or a festival, as long as it is a bonfire party, all the Turks will be out, and they are indeed as Shang Ruyi said, the grassland For those who are superior, everything is based on strength. Those who can sit in the front row around the bonfire, apart from the princes, nobles, ministers and ladies, are powerful warriors. Each of these people is as tall as a mountain, and their ability to ride and shoot is even more extraordinary.
At this moment, after hearing the words of Ashina Zari and Shang Ruyi, these people stood up one by one.
That kind of ferocious momentum is frightening even in the dark night.
Ashinazali watched and said: "If we let our Turkic men compete with you, you will inevitably feel that we are invincible and bully a weak woman; if we let our Turkic men compete with you, Women compare with you—"
At this moment, a familiar figure stood up and walked in front of him.
"Let me come!"
The voice of these words was not loud, but because of the trembling with fear, there was an inexplicable acrimony.
When they heard this sentence, Ashina Zari and Shang Ruyi both raised their heads, but neither of them showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Because this person is Lei Yu.
Just now, when she heard Shang Ruyi say those words that irritated Ashina Zari, she could not sit still, her face turned pale with fear, and she broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, when she heard about the competition Riding and shooting, especially when competing with Turkic women, she could no longer hold back and immediately stood up and stepped forward.
Although, when they broke out together in Yanmen County, she had seen to some extent that Shang Ruyi's riding and shooting skills were not bad, and he even saved their lives at the most critical moment.
But this is a Turk after all.
And if Ashina Zari wanted to choose, he would definitely not choose someone with average riding and shooting skills. This would not only allow Shang Ruyi to make his own choice after losing, but would also cause great embarrassment.
But in this case, Shang Ruyi has no way out.
So, she stepped forward immediately.
Seeing her coming forward, Mrs. Jia Yuan, who had originally proposed to let Shang Ruyi be Ashina Zhu Xie's concubine, couldn't help but frowned, but at this time, there was no room for her to speak again. , besides - she rolled her eyes and seemed to understand what Ashina Tsari was thinking. She could only look at Lei Yu with an angry look, and then sat back in her seat silently.
On the contrary, it was Ashina Zari, with an "unsurprising" sneer on his face, and said: "Leiyu, do you want to compete with your 'old friend'?"
Lei Yu took a deep breath and said: "Khan, no matter what, I have married Iasu, and I am a Turk. This is what Khan said at the beginning."
Ashina Zari said: "Not bad."
Lei Yu said: "In that case, if I compete with her as a Turk, can Khan agree?"
"...Of course."
After hearing this, , a hint of joy immediately appeared on Lei Yu's face.
But at this time, the Turks around them all frowned. You looked at me, I looked at you, with some surprised expressions on their faces.
You know, this Shang Ruyi is both Yu Wenye’s wife and Shang Ruohong’s daughter. If she falls into their hands, they will naturally kill her. Even if they want to torture her, it will be done by Ashina. Zhali does whatever he wants, but why does he still obey her? What's the point of riding and shooting?
Moreover, let Lei Yu compete with her.
Since Lei Yu is an old friend with her, he will inevitably want to protect her. If he holds back in the competition, wouldn't that be in line with her wishes?
Just when the people around him were about to move forward and try to persuade him, Ashina Tsari suddenly said: "But, do you know the outcome of this competition?"
Lei Yu was slightly startled.
Shang Ruyi said calmly: "Of course. If I win -"
Before she could finish speaking, Ashina Zari interrupted her with a sneer and said : "If you lose, you have to be Zhu Xie's concubine——"
Here, he turned his head and glanced at Ashina Zhu Xie. Although everyone had been talking about Shang Ruyi being her concubine, he had remained silent after rejecting the proposal. At this time, He just frowned slightly, looked at Shang Ruyi, and then took a deep look at Lei Yu.
There seemed to be a little light shining in his eyes.
Ashina Zari said; "No, you are not qualified to be his concubine."
"..."
"A woman like you is only qualified to be his slave."< br>
“……”
< br>A cold light flashed in Shang Ruyi's eyes, but she seemed not to care, and it seemed that this possibility was not at all on her mind. She said, "Khan, let me tell you, if I win What should I do?”
Ashina Tsari said: "If you win, you don't have to be Zhu Xie's concubine."
"Okay."
"But——"
Speaking of this, Ashina Zari's eyes were cold and he said: "You are going to replace your father. Do you know what this means?"
"..."
"I will drain your blood, roast you right here on this fire, and then use a knife to cut off your flesh piece by piece, and let everyone here eat it one bite at a time. Your flesh!"
"..."
"Let Shang Ruohong see what happened to his daughter after he did these things!"
"..."
Shang Ruyi had no expression on his face.
But in my heart, I couldn't help but gasp.
Actually, she had guessed in her heart that after Ashina Zari just said those words, she wanted to replace Shang Ruohong with herself. After experiencing these tortures, probably the only way to eliminate his heart A little bit of hatred, so she was mentally prepared from the beginning.
But even though I was prepared, I still felt a little nervous when I heard the other party say this.
Especially the way he gritted his teeth, as if the torture of knife after knife had penetrated through the clothes and cut into Shang Ruyi's body with the biting cold wind.
She clenched her fists hard to calm herself down.
He raised his eyes to look at Ashina Zari and said word by word: "It's a deal!"
Ashina Zari sneered and said: "Okay!"
|
Ashinazari gave an order, and the people who were originally gathered around the bonfire began to disperse to both sides.
After a while, these people gave way to a wide and long passage, and at the end of the passage was the huge bonfire. Someone erected a wooden stake in front of the fire, and then used Torch lit.
In an instant, the flames on the wooden piles burst into flames.
On the other side, Ashina Zari asked his men to bring a horse to Shang Ruyi and Lei Yu. Each horse had a bow and a quiver hung on its back, and each had a quiver inserted in it. Three arrows.
Ashina Zari said: "Start from here and end in front of the wooden stake. Whoever can hit the target with more arrows will win."
After saying that, he looked at Xiang Lei Yu said with a smile: "The life and death of your old friend are all in your hands!"
"..." Lei Yu's face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
She said nothing, only turned her head to glance at Shang Ruyi, but Shang Ruyi had already led the horse and started walking towards the long road. She only nodded hurriedly at Ashina Zari. Nodding, he also led the horse and followed.
In this paragraph, the two people walked silently.
But seeing that he was about to reach the starting line, once he got on the horse and rushed out of this line, there would be no way back. After all, Lei Yu couldn't help but said: "Ruyi ——"
"Lei Yu,"
As if he had known for a long time that she would not be able to help speaking, and knew the torment in her heart, Shang Ruyi said calmly: "You don't have to worry about me. In fact, I already know the result of being caught here."< br>
“Since you know, why do you need to provoke him?”
At this time, Lei Yu probably also knew that he was at a “dead end” and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: “Yesterday, he obviously didn’t I have let you go, but those words you just said——"
Shang Ruyi turned around: "If someone shoots one of your eyes out, splits your country, and destroys all your hard work in the past half of your life. Will you let go of his wife and daughter because of your status as an 'old friend', and only as an 'old friend' of your daughter-in-law?"
"...! >
Lei Yu had a lump in his throat.
Shang Ruyi said calmly: "There is no way he will let me go."
"..."
"The reason why I asked you to take me away last night, It's because he doesn't know my father's identity, and it's also because he hasn't figured out how to deal with me. Otherwise, why would he have this bonfire party for no reason today? "
"...! >
Lei Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
Indeed, if the bonfire party on the grassland is not a major festival or victory, it must have other purposes. And tonight's bonfire party is obviously after the defeat of Taiyuan. Logically speaking, it should not be some.
It seems that since last night, Ashina Zari has been thinking about how to deal with Shang Ruyi, and today, he just happened to know it from the mouth of General Pasha who came back from Taiyuan. Shang Ruyi is Shang Ruohong's daughter, so it is even more impossible for him to let go of her old and new grudges.
But——
Lei Yu said: "But you said those words to anger him. Doesn't this make you have no way to survive?"
Shang Ruyi lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, I don't think he will kill me."
"Why?"
"If he wants to kill me, he will follow Just like last night, he immediately asked the samurai to drag me down and kill me. The reason why he kept talking to me , but did not draw the sword immediately in anger, because at this time, just killing me was no longer enough."
"..."
"That's why I have this little time. opportunity to earn a little life for yourself.”
"..."
"And I said those words to him because, as I am the daughter of Shang Ruohong, I must be tough in front of the Turks, especially him, the Khan of the Western Turks. "
"..."
"Because my father is the one who defeated him."
"..."
"Although my father is dead, being his daughter also represents my father's character. If I grovel and humble myself to survive, it will only damage my father's reputation. And if my father is so unbearable, those who are defeated by my father will Isn't he even more unwilling?"
"..."
Lei Yu blinked, as if he understood something.
Shang Ruyi looked back again, and Ashina Zari behind him had slowly walked to one side of the crowd and sat behind the relocated low table. His tall body was still as strong as a mountain.
She said: “When I was a child, I heard my father mention his ‘old friends’, especially the Zhali Khan.”
Lei Yu said: "What did he say?"
"Ashina Zari, a hero."
"..."
"If he didn't have such a Neither the ability nor the character can unify the Western Turks, and once again hang a knife in the north of the Central Plains Dynasty, such a person's revenge and revenge are different from what ordinary people think and do. "
"... …”
"I am too humble, which will only make him more angry and look down upon."
"..."
"How would a person deal with someone he despises, who is also the daughter of his enemy? ——I don’t need to say more.”
“…”
Hearing her words, Lei Yu became quiet.
But her eyes were filled with emotions.
Indeed, hate is not a simple emotion, especially in this kind of "hatred of country and family", and people who are in it have more complicated love and hatred intertwined. Ashina Zari wanted to kill Shang Ruyi, just a matter of words, but from last night to tonight, from knowing that she was Yu Wenye's wife to knowing that she was Shang Ruohong's daughter, he had not yet taken action, which shows that in his heart , and there must be quite an overwhelming surge of emotions.
But——
Shang Ruyi said: "But now, at least I can give it a try."
Lei Yu's brows furrowed tighter and he turned around to look Asked her: "How to spell it?"
“…”
“You want me to lose to you, it’s easy.”
“…”
“But if you win, you will die! "
Shang Ruyi also turned to look at her: "I can die, but I can't lose."
"...!"
Lei Yu's heart sank heavily, and then her eyes turned red.
Of course she understands what Shang Ruyi means.
If she loses, she will be Ashina Zhuxie's concubine. No matter what Ashina Zhuxie will do to her, this matter is already unacceptable to her. .
In their hearts, a woman's loyalty is important, but it is not that important. After all, at the moment of life and death, the choice can only depend on her own wishes. However, Shang Ruyi is different from other women after all.
She is not only the Qin Princess of the Dasheng Dynasty, but also the daughter of Shang Ruohong.
She regards these honors and her own dignity as more important than life.
So——
Should she win or lose?
Today I will merge two chapters into one chapter
