Chapter 424: The Envoy from the North
Perhaps it is because Gu Nanxi has done too many tricks. Now, every action Gu Nanxi makes will have two or three meanings.
For example, this time, the young emperor and the princes in the court who saw "Yunzhou Weekly" also thought it was a smoke bomb.
To put it bluntly, Yunzhou does not want to fight, so it wants to intimidate the Tatars in the north.
It just so happened that the princes in the court didn’t want to fight, so they acquiesced to Gu Nanxi’s approach.
As one of the parties involved, the left and right kings and the Khan were in a dilemma.
"Is what the "Yunzhou Weekly" said true?" Khan was both greedy and afraid.
If it is true, how rich will Yunzhou be?
If it is true and Gu Nanxi dares to release this news, it means that she is well prepared to face the invasion from the north! She will definitely have a backup plan!
King Zuo Xian: "Could this be false news deliberately released by Gu Nanxi to scare us away from going south?"
King Youxian: "Perhaps Gu Nanxi predicted that we would think this way, so she wrote the real situation openly in "Yunzhou Weekly", hoping that we would take the initiative to step into her trap?"
< br>Khan: "You two said "Everything makes sense, so what should we do now?"
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but feel angry at the second prince Aginai. Since he could kill Yongchang Hou back then, why didn't he try harder to kill Gu Nan? Xi also killed? !
In the end, it was King Zuo Xian who made the final decision: "We send an envoy to meet the emperor of Zhou Dynasty! Find out the truth about Yunzhou!"
......
"Ah?! The steppe Tatars want to send an envoy to come for peace talks?!" When Gu Nanxi received the news, she looked suspicious of life.
The entire Yunzhou is preparing for this year's war, desperately trying to get money before the war, but the Tatars in the north say they want peace talks this year? !
Deputy General Gu Hai pressed his right hand tightly on his saber, his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "This must be their trick! Maybe they want us to relax our vigilance!"
For such a big matter, Gu Nanxi had no choice but to pass the news to Kyoto.
As expected, Kyoto happily accepted the Tatar's request to meet, and also asked Gu Nanxi to send someone to escort the Tatar envoy all the way to Kyoto.
"I'm not going!" The deputy general turned around and left across the sea.
Gu Shisan also walked out: "Sir, it's not that I'm disobedient, I'm afraid that as soon as I see them, I can't help but chop off their heads with a knife! I'd better not cause you any trouble. !”
Boss Li waved the letter in his hand: “Ma Nantian will come this time and asked me to wait for him in Yunzhou.”
Gu Nanxi looked at Fu Mingyuan.
Fu Mingyuan shook his head like a wavy drum: "This can't be done. I have never been to Kyoto. I'm afraid of taking them to Death Row Mountain."
Gu Nanxi's head was full of black lines. Fu Mingyuan's words must be a threat. If he was allowed to go, he would take the envoy team to Death Row Mountain, where no one would be seen alive or dead!
Calling around the generals under his command, Gu Nanxi found helplessly that none of them were willing to escort the Tatar envoy. She couldn't ask herself to go in person!
There are still too few people who can use it!
“Alechuan?”
Alechuan has grown in size since he came to Yunzhou, and now he is almost as tall as Fu Mingyuan.
His facial features are sharp, his profile is particularly beautiful, his nose is high, his eyelashes are long and dense, and his temples are well defined.
He was standing quietly behind Boss Li, like a straight poplar. Hearing Gu Nanxi's roll call, Alchuan reflexively wanted to shake his head. He and the Tatars had a sworn feud!
But when he thought that there was Miss Su in Kyoto, Alechuan hesitated.
Seeing that Alchuan had no clear objection, Gu Nanxi quickly handed over this task to Alchuan.
Within two days, the messenger sent by the grassland Tatars knocked on the gate of Fuming Town.
This time, the Tatars sent a total of twenty envoys, led by Wanyan Wushu, the youngest son of King Zuoxian. He was as tall and strong as an iron tower, with sharp eyes like an eagle.
Seeing that the city gate of Fuming Town had not been opened for a long time, Wanyan Wushu raised his chin slightly to a Han-looking young man in the team: "Go and call the door!"
The Han young man's right hand There were six fingers. He looked at the towering and fortified city wall in front of him and felt all kinds of things in his heart.
"Liu Lang, why don't you go quickly?" Wanyan Wushu urged.
Rokuro took a breath, got off his horse, slapped the city gate with his hands, and shouted loudly: "We are the envoy group, open the door quickly!"
After half a stick of incense, the heavy city gate creaked open.
The soldiers guarding the city curled their lips, with disdain in their eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "It's so shameless. Since you want to negotiate peace, why don't you go from other towns, but from our Fuming Town? , must be here to inquire about the military situation!"
Rokuro did not pretend not to hear what they said and returned to the team.
In the Wengcheng, thirty Yunzhou cavalrymen, fully armed and riding tall brown war horses, lined up neatly and stood in the center facing Wanyan Wushu and his party.
The leading young general stared at Wanyan Wushu, like a cruel and bloodthirsty beast that lived on human flesh.
Wanyan Wushu touched his neck and seemed to feel that the other person wanted to bite it off right away!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The soldiers guarding the city tightly grasped the spears in their hands, and their muscles tensed up.
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Rokuro's back. He seemed to see some minced meat hanging on the snow-white teeth of a beast, with saliva dripping on it, even on the tip of his nose. You can smell the fishy stench coming to your face, and your whole person is shrouded in the shadow of death.
Wanyan Wushu and Alchuan looked at each other, and their gazes sent sparks crackling in the air.
Neither of the two gave in, and neither of them was the first to speak.
The next second, the two men suddenly burst into flames!
The spear used by Alchuan stabbed Wanyan Wushu like lightning.
Wanyan Wushu nimbly dodged the attack sideways, and at the same time brandished his scimitar and slashed at Alchuan.
Alechuan quickly retracted his spear and blocked the broadsword attack.
The two of them went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and the battle entered a fierce stage.
Just hearing a loud "clang" sound, both of them were shaken back a few steps.
Their arms were shaking slightly, and their eyes did not dare to leave their opponents for a moment.
“Tsk, Alechuan is still too young, and his strength is not as good as Wanyan Wushu.” Lieutenant General Gu Hai and others stood on the top of the wall of Wengcheng, looking down at the scene in front of them.
Gu Shisan: "How old is Alechuan? Wanyan Wushu is almost thirty, and it's his prime! Wait another five years and you'll see!"
Boss Li yawned loudly and slowly walked down the city wall: "You are all just watching the fun and don't help! If we let them continue fighting, Alchuan will probably suffer a big loss, and he will be embarrassed by that time. But the general!”
