After a night of silence, Xiao Han was awakened by the sound of rumbling drums early the next morning.
The quilt was kicked aside and the headrest was thrown out. It was only after Xiao Han lost his temper in the room that Xiaodong cautiously opened the door and entered the room.
"Master Hou, are you awake?"
"Nonsense! Are you talking to a ghost if you don't wake up?! It's early in the morning, knocking on wool! Didn't we just win the battle yesterday! Didn't you even get a full night's sleep today?!" Xiao Han stood on the bed with his hands on his hips and a finger. Where the drum is played, the person yells like a teapot.
Xiaodong had no choice but to smile awkwardly. Seeing that Xiao Han was about to jump off the bed, he quickly bent over to find some clothes.
It's early spring, and it's terrible to get cold!
After stepping on his boots and putting on a big shirt that Xiaodong brought, Xiao Han yawned loudly and asked: "Xiaodong, what kind of drum do you think this is? It has been beating endlessly so early in the morning! "
Xiaodong was busy helping Xiao Han tie his belt. Hearing this, he said without raising his head: "Master Hou, this is the gathering drum!"
"Jujianggu?" Xiao Han touched the hair that had just grown on his chin and suddenly asked: "Huh? Do I need to go?"
"This... ahem, Master Hou, you don't have to go..." Xiaodong almost choked to death at Xiao Han's words! Brother, the Jujianggu is used to summon generals, and those who fail to communicate three times will be beheaded! Why are you joining in the fun at this time...
"No need to go? Forget it, let's go and have a look. Don't wait until something happens again." Xiao Han didn't know that Xiaodong was already scolding him. He stood there and thought for a while, but still felt a little uneasy.
Yesterday, just because he wasn't paying attention, he rushed out and beat him to death! Now if it happens again, it's hard to say whether Xiao Han's little heart can bear it!
You know, in your best imagination, you want to be a minister of the dragon and be rich for all generations! After all, the history books say: Except for one Hou Junji, the people who started following Xiao Lizi all lived a happy life.
And this life of freedom is exactly Xiao Han's lifelong dream! For this lofty and glorious goal, now we have to keep an eye on the little dragon...
What if the dragon disappears by accident... Where can I cry then?
Xiao Han insisted on going, and Xiaodong couldn't stop him. But by the time he finished packing his clothes and put on his boots, the drumming outside had already stopped!
After going out, Xiao Han pulled Xiaodong and trotted to the place where the drums were played, only to find that the place was already full of people, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
Xiao Han jumped up and took a quick look behind him, but he could only see Xiao Lizi and Changsun Shunde at the front, not knowing what they were talking about.
"What are you doing? Something big happened? No, I have to go and see!"
Xiao Han was curious and looked at the crowd in front of him. Leaving Xiaodong behind, he went straight into the crowd and struggled to squeeze in next to the two people.
"Hey, King Qin!"
Li Shimin was whispering something to Changsun Shunde when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He couldn't help but look sideways. When he realized it was Xiao Han, he felt a little strange.
"Xiao Han? Why are you here?"
Xiao Han struggled to squeeze over, rubbed his hands and smiled dryly at Li Shimin: "Hey, everything is going well in that logistics camp, nothing major happened. I heard the drums beating and came over to see, what's going on now?"
"Oh..." Li Shimin didn't take it seriously and replied casually: "It's not a big deal. Wang Shichong sent an envoy here this morning."
"Messenger? Why? Come to surrender?" Xiao Han touched his head and asked strangely. But it’s not that big of a deal, right? You were beaten up yesterday and you’re going to surrender today?
Li Shimin was also amused by Xiao Han's unreasonable thoughts, raised the corners of his mouth, and whispered: "How is it possible to surrender? Most likely they were defeated yesterday because they were too confused. Today they sent someone to find out the truth..."
Just as Xiao Lizi finished speaking, Changsun Shunde next to him chuckled, holding a horizontal knife and said: "I think Wang Shichong is getting better and better! He's already been beaten, so why bother probing? I'll find a way to fight him back." It’s right!”
"That……"
"Hush, people are coming!"
Xiao Han opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Shimin suddenly stood up straight and whispered an order.
In fact, Li Shimin did not need to give orders. After a lonely figure appeared on the street, Xiao Han found that everyone around him had stopped talking and stared at the person angrily.
Xiao Han heard this move from Uncle Lengzi. This is to use force to overwhelm others, to seize the opportunity first! Only when people are confused can we gain the upper hand or force them to show their weaknesses.
I remember when Jing Ke assassinated Qin and Qin Wuyang, who had been killing people since he was 12 years old, faced the power of the Xianyang Palace, he could not move his legs or speak! This shows the power and benefit.
There are two rows of Chinese people on the street, and those standing there all look like menacing figures, exuding a sense of rebelliousness! If Xiao Han was allowed to walk all the way in the role of the messenger, his legs would definitely be weak! As for whether I will pee my pants, it is really hard to say...
However, when Xiao Han saw the person clearly, he knew that the arrangement made by Changsun Shunde and Xiao Lizi today was destined to not have the effect it should have.
"Your Majesty's envoy, Zhou Yong! I have met General Tang!"
The visitor from the other side of the street strode up to Li Shimin, looked at Li Shimin and Changsun Shunde standing in the middle, and casually bowed his hands as a salute.
As for the ferocious soldiers and generals around him, it was as if they were completely invisible to him. Xiao Han also found that this man dared to take the time to turn his head and laugh.
"Where did this idiot come from? Is he really a messenger?" Xiao Han looked at this person up and down, and a big question mark appeared in his heart...
Aren’t messengers supposed to be wise and steady? Someone as scheming as Su Qin, Zhang Yi, or Tang Jian! Why did Wang Shichong send Qiu Ba like this?
"Is it possible that he also came here to take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate?" Xiao Han thought about it and suddenly thought of this! So he quickly hid his body behind him.
The King of Qin is not Qin Shihuang, and there are no parliamentary ministers around here! If you dare to commit an assassination here, there are no windows, let alone doors! You just have to be careful with your small body so as not to get accidentally injured...
Li Shimin was also frowning at the visitor, and he did not expect that the messenger turned out to be a rough man. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly noticed that the corners of the clothes of this rough man looking around and acting strangely were trembling.
"Oh, it turns out he's afraid too!" Li Shimin felt relieved when he discovered this. Looking at the man's hand again, I found that the man's hand was also trembling slightly.
That is to say, there are still such audacious masters in this world.
Having completed his display of power, Li Shimin waved his hand and dismissed the surrounding soldiers. Then he, his eldest son Shunde and several personal guards led the envoy named Zhou Yong into the house. Xiao Han scratched his head, looked inside the room, and with a thought, he followed Li Shimin and walked in.
Enter the house and take a seat. Of course there are a lot of seats, but there are only three people sitting down.
Xiao Han was behind Li Shimin, kicked the original scribe away, and stood there pretending to be a soldier. Watch with your eyes, nose, and heart, and wait to see what the messengers of the five elements and three gross things can say.
However, after sitting down, the envoy said nothing, and neither Li Shimin nor Changsun Shunde made Xiao Han, who was waiting to watch the show, a little disappointed. It felt like meeting the enemy's envoy this time was completely different from what I imagined.
No one asked the envoy to kneel down and kowtow, and no one reprimanded him loudly. Maybe no one is too lazy to do these superficial efforts except the extremely arrogant dynasty.
Just like talking about things as usual, Li Shimin looked at the envoy who was coming down, first broke the dullness, and asked loudly: "Zhou...yong, right? What did Wang Shichong send you to do?"
At this moment, Zhou Yong, who looked exactly like the reincarnation of Li Kui, was drinking tea from a small teacup, and felt the aroma of this small bowl of golden tea! Although it tastes bitter at first, the aftertaste is sweet. However, the portion is too small. I almost swallowed the teacup in one bite.
