Seeing King Xiqiang running towards him on horseback, King Qiemo was stunned for a moment, and then he mumbled something.
King Xiqiang looked at Ying Zheng and said, "King Qin, please wait a moment. I will go and have a chat with King Naqiemo."
"Do you know Qiemoyu?" Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
"Haha, he can speak Loulan dialect." King Xiqiang said.
"Oh, then bring him over. I also want to see him." Ying Zheng gestured to Meng Tian to bring King Qiemo over.
King Qiemo twisted his body and was escorted over.
"King Xiqiang, what do you mean?" King Qiemo spoke Loulan dialect.
"Haha, King Qiemo, I haven't seen you for many days, why are you tied up?" After saying that, King Xiqiang waved his hand to the sergeants to untie him.
Zhang Yong quickly untied King Qiemo.
"Who are these people? They don't look like your Xiqiang people." King Qiemo asked doubtfully while rubbing his wrist.
"Haha." King Xiqiang smiled peacefully, "These are the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. This time you escorted the King of Qin to Jingjue to do business. It seems that you, King Qiemo, wanted to rob their property, but you were defeated by them. I'm here."
King Qiemo knew that he was in the wrong, and his attitude softened a lot: "Then why are you here? Have you colluded to plot against me?"
The King of Xiqiang smiled and shook his head and said: "This time, I am just serving as a guide to help King Qin reach Jingjue. King Qin heard that this place is not peaceful, so he became more vigilant. However, King Qin and I I never thought that King Qiemo would personally lead the team to intercept and kill this time, and I also wondered why the majestic King Qiemo would become a bandit."
King Qiemo felt a little embarrassed to ask King Xiqiang to say a few words, so he changed the subject and said loudly: "Where is the King of Qin you mentioned? I want to see him."
Ying Zheng had been listening to the conversation between the two people in the back. Although he did not understand Loulan, Qiang Xu had already translated the conversation between the two for him.
"I'm here, what advice does the king have?" Ying Zheng came out from behind.
Qiang Yu also stood up and translated Ying Zheng's words to King Qiemo.
"Are you the King of Qin?" King Qiemo sounded a little disdainful, as if he did not expect that the King of Qin was actually a young boy.
"Haha, yes, I am the master of Qin." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Did you use those silks as bait to capture me?" King Qiemo said through gritted teeth.
After hearing what Qiang Yu translated, Ying Zheng said calmly: "The Qin Dynasty is thousands of miles away. I have never heard of the country Qiemo before. Is it possible that I have come so far just to deal with you, King Qiemo?" ?」
"Then you sent your sergeants to pretend to be businessmen. What else is it if it's not a trick?!" King Qiemo forced himself to find a way down.
"Haha." Ying Zheng sneered and looked at King Qiemo sharply, "The soldiers of Great Qin are here to protect me. I believe that even if I am walking in front, you will definitely attack me, let alone , when setting out from Da Qin, all the soldiers of Da Qin were dressed in the clothes of merchants. You are the one who killed people and looted things without looking for money. What can you say now? "
Although Ying Zheng's tone was cold, Qiang He was naturally a bit polite when translating.
"Let me go. I will go back and gather the tribes. Let's fight again." King Qiemo said arrogantly.
Qiang Yu had just finished translating this sentence, but before Ying Zheng could say anything, King Xi Qiang laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "King Qiemo, King Qiemo, it's not your fault for saying this. The one who attacked first was You, and you have already laid an ambush, you have the right time, location, people and people, but you are still no match for the Qin army."
"Even if King Qin lets you go, will you dare to come again? Are you sure you won't hide in Ajin Mountain?"
"Besides, even if you attack with all the tribes, you may not be part of the Qin army.
opponent. If you are more well-informed, you may have heard that more than two months ago, Yiqu and Wu Xiqiang joined forces, and the 110,000-strong army was completely defeated at the hands of the Qin army. "
"Whether you want to kill or release, you must obey the orders of King Qin
. If we kill you, we will naturally not be afraid of your revenge. If we let you go, you can fight again with your troops, and I assure you that I will never interfere in this matter. "
"It's not that I don't dare, but it's just that before it's my turn to take action, the Qin army may have slaughtered you all!"
King Qiemo stood there stunned, unable to refute and unable to move.
As the leader of the Qiemo tribe, how could he be indifferent to the affairs of the world?
Compared with the other countries in the Western Region, Qie Mo's strength is not very strong, but it is by no means the weakest. Behind him, there are the remnants of the Ajin Mountain and the Kunlun Mountain that provide the most support. It can be said that he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
However, that is compared with the countries in the Western Regions.
The Nuqiang in the south of Qiemo are much stronger than Qiemo, and they live on mountains and plateaus. If they really want to deal with Qiemo, it can be said to be easy.
As for the great fame of the land of China to the east, how could he not know it?
Among the Chinese countries, Great Qin was the strongest, how could he not know that.
Not to mention that he was captured by the Qin army now, even if it were reversed and he captured the King of Qin, what would he do to the King of Qin?
Dare to kill King Qin?
What a joke, that would only make the entire Qiemo clan buried with him.
Want some benefits from Da Qin?
It seemed feasible, but the problem was also forged.
If the Chinese people come here more often in the future, how can the two powerful countries Loulan and Jingjue sit idly by?
Although Qiemo has always been trying to survive in the cracks, it has not yet reached a point of death with any country.
The words of King Xiqiang were like a basin of cold water, completely waking up King Qiemo.
He froze in place, not moving at all for a long while, thinking carefully about the changes in the situation and his own situation.
I don't know how long it took before King Qiemo laughed: "If any of the countries in the Western Regions takes advantage of Qiemo, then I will definitely not accept it, but if it is the Great Qin Kingdom in China, it is a different matter."
Seeing that his attitude seemed to have changed, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If this is the case, this conflict must be a misunderstanding. I don't know if the king agrees or not."
At the end of the day, the king rolled his eyes. A good man will not suffer the loss in front of him!
"Hahaha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" King Qiemo said with a laugh.
Ying Zheng looked at King Qiemo and said calmly: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then Great Qin will not hold him responsible for the attack, and Qiemo will not hold him accountable for the loss of his troops, right?"
Qiemo Wangpi said with a smile: "Well, this is natural."
"However," Ying Zheng said instead, "in order to ensure that this misunderstanding will never happen again, we also ask King Qie Mo to accompany the others to Jingjue, and let the Queen of Jingjue Kingdom make a verification to ensure that the journey from Yumen Pass to Jingjue , there will be no more robbery of goods."
King Qiemo hesitated. If he was not allowed to plunder in the future, the Qiemo clan would lose a lot of money.
This is no different than taking his life.
Of course Ying Zheng knew what King Qiemo was thinking, and continued: "Since we want to ensure that no more disasters happen along the way, someone needs to maintain order, and the most suitable candidate is King Qiemo."
King Qiemo: "...?"
"If you can take on the responsibility of maintaining the safety of this road, Da Qin will definitely share some of the profits from each shipment of goods to Qie Mo." Ying Zheng said, "I believe that in addition to Da Qin, all the countries in the Western Region and outside All countries will also be in favor of this approach."
"The Qiemo people can continue to plunder the goods at the risk of their lives, or they can sit back and enjoy the harvest unscathed. Which choice you make is up to you."
After Qiang Yu finished translating Ying Zheng's words, King Qi Mo was tempted.
have to say
, looting goods, although it is satisfying, is also risky. If the other party resists desperately, Qiemo's tribe will also suffer casualties. Just like this time, the Qiemo tribe really suffered a big setback.
Moreover, for many years, the countries on the southern side of the Western Region have also complained about Qiemo. Almost all of them regard him as an alien. Although they have not joined forces to attack him, they will never look at him favorably.
And if according to Ying Zheng's statement, the party that robs the goods becomes the party that protects the safety of the goods. Although it will not get all the goods, it will be able to earn part of the benefits. Comparing the two, naturally the latter is safer. It is stable and can improve relations with other countries.
Especially the relationship with Loulan and Jingjue.
Just like this time, when Qie Mo made such a big noise, there was no way Loulan and Jing would not ignore it. If King Qiemo hadn't seen that the shipment was too tempting, and the other party was from a foreign country, he wouldn't have been able to bring more than 2,000 tribes to snatch the goods.
You know, this approach is tantamount to a declaration of war.
King Qiemo thought for a moment and said solemnly: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of the whole clan. I will have to go back and discuss it with several elders before I can decide."
"Okay, then let your tribe return to your tribe, and then call all the elders to come to Jingjue Kingdom to discuss this matter with you." Ying Zheng said without any doubt.
"What? How can this work?" At this moment, King Qiemo still wanted to return to his tribe first.
"Hmph!" King Xiqiang snorted coldly from the side, "King Qiemo, it seems you still haven't seen the situation clearly. King Qin is doing this to give your entire clan a chance to let all your elders redeem you. I also want to explain this matter clearly in front of Queen Jingjue. If I want to use you as bait to ensnare your entire clan, then why bother going to Jingjue."
King Qiemo rolled his eyes and looked at the remaining more than a thousand tribesmen who had been detained. He finally sighed and said, "Well, it seems that only a third party can mediate this matter. This king I will follow you to Jingjue, but everyone in the Qiemo tribe must return to the Qiemo tribe safely."
"Haha, don't worry, if I wanted your lives, I would have done it long ago." Ying Zheng said, "What I need are warriors who can cooperate, not dead bodies lying on the ground."
Indeed, there were only two choices before King Qiemo, either to be a warrior or to be a corpse.
"Okay." King Qiemo finally stopped hesitating, and his dark face relaxed a bit, "I want to say a few words to my tribe, and then let's set off."
Ying Zheng nodded, then winked at Meng Tian.
Meng Tian nodded in response, and then brought King Qiemo back to the front of their tribe.
King Qiemo chirped again.
Some of the Qiemo tribe looked as if they were about to receive amnesty, while others refused to leave no matter what.
Ying Zheng weighed it up and asked those who refused to leave to accompany them to Jingjue Kingdom. Those who returned to the Qiemo tribe added some horses and headed deeper into the mountains and forests.
Along the way, Ying Zheng did not treat King Qiemo as a prisoner. Instead, he greeted him with wine and meat. He also chatted with King Qiemo about the countries in the Western Regions from time to time. Moreover, King Qiemo's psychology was also subtly changing. Changing.
Three days passed, and a magnificent city finally appeared in front of everyone.
Finally arrived at Jingjue City!
In terms of height and size, this exquisite city is much more impressive than Loulan City, and is no less impressive than any other capital in China.
Outside Jingjue City, there is a moat several feet wide. The city wall looks quite smooth and faintly shiny.
The city gates on all sides look a bit strange, especially the city gate, which seems to be made of the same stone as the city wall.
There is a tower erected high above the city tower. There are guards on the tower patrolling the surrounding movements.
It is indeed an indestructible city!
