Huang Qiong's words almost made the old monk vomit blood in anger, and his face turned blue and purple. Ba Zhongtai, who looked like a scholar next to him, saw that something was not going well and hurriedly tugged on his monk's robe. He walked forward, raised his hands to Huang Qiong and said, "I am Zhongtai on my chin to pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qi. I have come here uninvited. In addition to meeting the emperor, I have something to ask for."
"I heard that Shanchanhou Gao Zhisheng fell into the hands of your majesty a few days ago. Therefore, I came to visit you today in the hope that your majesty can listen to my words and forgive Shanchanhou. Although Shanchanhou has offended your majesty before, , but now he has been punished. Tens of thousands of his elite troops were defeated, and he also had a broken leg. Even the location of the Hou Mansion has fallen under the control of the Qi army. "
"No matter how you say it, Marquis Shanchan is not a minister of Da Qi, but a minister of Dali. Even if Dali is a vassal state of Da Qi, Dali is not a territory of Da Qi after all, and Marquis Shanchan is not Da Qi either. A minister of the country. Even if he offended the power of Heaven, he was punished. In the next generation, the subjects of the various tribes in eastern Yunnan, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, please your majesty to spare Shan Chan's life."
"Our Marquis is not only a man of justice and wealth, but also knows how to advance and retreat. As long as Your Majesty lets the Marquis go, he will surely repay his kindness. With Princess Yunxiao's presence, Your Majesty will naturally know the capabilities of the Marquis. . As long as Your Majesty spares the Marquis, I guarantee that in the coming days, the Shanchan Marquis Mansion will always be loyal to Da Qi and will forever become the southwest barrier of Da Qi."
When Ba Zhongtai said these words, although his tone was very respectful, his attitude was very firm. Regarding this guy's words, Huang Qiong laughed and said: "Mr. Ba, are you teaching me how to behave, or are you teaching me how to deal with offending my great Qi Tianwei? With your small sacrifice, you Are you qualified to talk to me about this? I’m afraid even you, the King of Dali, are not qualified.”
"How I deal with that guy is my business, and it is Daqi's own business. You are just a hound raised by the Shanchan Marquis Mansion and used to bite people at any time. You are not qualified to fight with me. Preaching? You also represent hundreds of thousands of people in various tribes in eastern Yunnan. Who gave you the face to say this? You took advantage of Shanchan Houfu and came to take advantage of me. Who gave you the courage?"
"I call you worship, do you really think of yourself as a human being? How come you have been pampered for so long that you can't live without the Shanchanhou Mansion? So you came here to earn money from me? Don't say what he did to Da Qi Even if the matter is cut to pieces, it will not be enough to atone for it. Even if it is not that serious, I will not do the stupid thing of letting the tiger return to the mountain. I am not Fu Jian, and he can't do Murong Chui."
Huang Qiong said this with a hint of insult. Duan Jin's uncle, who was older and a monk, was so excited by Huang Qiong's words that he didn't look like an enlightened monk at all. This Ba Zhongtai, however, was not angry but smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a mouth. If Your Majesty is willing to show off his quick words for a while, Ba must naturally have no choice but to let Your Majesty do it."
"Whether His Majesty thinks that Ba has the status and qualifications to represent the thirty-seven tribes in eastern Yunnan, that is His Majesty's business. But today, Ba is here to negotiate with Your Majesty on behalf of these thirty-seven tribes. Your Majesty When we send troops to the Dali Kingdom, the combined total of the two armies is less than 50,000 troops and horses. These 50,000 troops and horses seem to be a lot, but facing half of the Dali Kingdom and the 37 eastern Yunnan troops, it is not worth mentioning."
"The mountains here are connected with the mountains, and there are tribes serving the Shanchanhou Mansion everywhere. In order to save the Marquis from his suffering, the tribes will never be content with others. The more than 50,000 troops and horses under your Majesty's command seem to be still good. It is considered powerful. But if faced with these thirty-seven troops, it is no more than a broken ship in the vast ocean. If these thirty-seven troops join forces to fight against each other, I am afraid that His Majesty's army will not be able to move even an inch."
"Your Majesty's tens of thousands of troops and horses are indeed very powerful. Not only are the regular troops and horses of Dali State no match, but the elite soldiers of the Marquis's Hundred Battles are also no match for your Majesty's troops and horses. But if the tribes here join forces, ambushes will appear everywhere, The Qi army will be intercepted and killed everywhere. As time goes by, the Qi army may not be able to deal with it. It is doubtful whether the 50,000 troops and horses that His Majesty has sent south will be able to leave the Dali Kingdom by then."
"If you don't want to repeat the two southern expeditions of the former Tang Dynasty, but it was the same mistake as ten for one. Your Majesty had better be patient and sit down and talk with Ba Mou. Don't let these 50,000 elites be destroyed in eastern Yunnan. Your Majesty is trapped in the Dali Kingdom and cannot return to the Jingzhao Mansion of the Daqi Dynasty. It will be too late to regret it by then. And as far as Ba Mou knows, your Majesty seems to be unstable now. It is better to sit down and talk."
Regarding Ba Zhongtai's rather threatening words, Huang Qiong looked strangely as he looked at the group of tattered people wearing different colors behind Ba Zhongtai. I couldn't help but laugh: "Just you, and those people behind you? If the thirty-seven divisions of East Yunnan are like this behind you, I have nothing to worry about. Even if there are more, what will happen to me? Terrible?"
After the words fell, Huang Qiong stopped looking at this guy, took Duan Jin and Duan Miao, and was about to return to the carriage. Seeing Huang Qiong about to leave, Ba Zhongtai and Ku Ye looked at each other. The two of them stood up together and raised their palms towards Huang Qiong and the others, then struck at them. As the two of them moved, the soldiers behind them were also encouraged by the blowing of horns.
Either holding swords, guns, or tattered hoes in their hands, they charged towards Huang Qiong's guards. When Huang Qiong dragged the two girls away, he was already prepared for Ba Zhongtai and Ku Ye to take action. When the two soared into the air, Huang Qiong blocked the two women behind them. He stretched out his palms and used his internal strength to directly meet him. Both sides made a pair of palms, and the two of them were almost knocked out at the same time.
Huang Qiong was also forced to take more than ten strides back by the internal force of the two men. At the same time, Huang Qiong couldn't help feeling tight in his chest, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. Ba Zhongtai and Ku Ye saw that they had taken advantage of the sneak attack, so Rou Shen decided to make more plans and keep up their efforts to capture Huang Qiong in one fell swoop. But before they could take action, there was a cold sound of arrows being fired, and the dense rain of arrows caught the two of them off guard.
The two of them, along with those around them, were thrown into confusion by the hail of arrows. They were better off, barely dodging the first wave of arrows. But the ordinary people around them don't have this ability. A large area was shot down directly. The two people who were in a hurry due to this wave of arrows had not yet adjusted. Along with the sound of whooshing, the second wave of arrows flew over again.
And this wave of arrows, compared to the first round of somewhat messy arrows, was suddenly too dense. The two said that their martial arts skills were quite strong, but in the past, whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group fight, the outcome was determined by martial arts skills. Have these two people ever faced this situation before? The two of them, who were about to calm down and rush to catch Huang Qiong again in order to exchange Shan Chanhou back, were slammed into the rain of arrows.
Even though they faced a hail of arrows before, they still underestimated the two enemies, but this time they were given a solid lesson. Ba Zhongtai was directly shot with three arrows. If he hadn't been more alert, he would have almost been shot into a hedgehog. Dead Leaf was a little stronger than him, but the arrow hit him directly in his chest. Although this arrow did not hit him directly, it still seriously injured him.
If it weren't for his strong martial arts, which included an arrow of internal strength, he might have been sent to see the Buddha directly. This guy's eyes were very sharp, and he could spot the person who shot the arrow among thousands of soldiers and horses at a glance. It's just that although the arrow was not fatal, it hurt him too badly, and he didn't have time to say those two words. The body that had just risen into the air had already hit the ground heavily.
Opposite him, Duan Jin put down the bow and arrow in his hand, frowning and gently covering his stomach, seemingly feeling a little uncomfortable. Duan Miao saw Duan Jin holding her stomach and frowning, and hurriedly held her hand, feeling an inner force pass through her. With Duan Miao's help, Duan Jin finally stabilized. Looking at Huang Qiong who rushed over desperately when he saw that he was uncomfortable, his face looked a little pale.
The small and pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Huang Qiong's pale face and barely a trace of blood on his lips told Duan Jin that Huang Qiong must have suffered internal injuries from the palm strike just now. Duan Jin knew Huang Qiong's injury and must not expose it at this time. Forcefully suppress the worries in my heart and force myself to stabilize my emotions. Just holding Duan Miao's hand made a creaking sound.
Duan Jin, who still felt a slight pain in his lower abdomen, did not dare to go forward. When Huang Qiong rushed over and grabbed Huang Qiong's hand, she shook her head to indicate that she was fine. Then Qiang braced himself and watched the fight between the two armies with Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong didn't dare to speak now, for fear of spitting out the blood he had been suppressing. Although Duan Jin was full of worries, he knew that he had to endure it at this time.
Fortunately, although there are a lot of people gathered together, how can these improvised people have any fighting power? Huang Qiong's guards were all cavalry, and they were scattered with a single charge. If the infantry fights against the cavalry, they do not want to return with a huge defeat. They relied on spears and halberds to form a dense formation, and archers were added to help. In this way, it is possible to have a fighting chance with the cavalry.
Not to mention these rabble, they are elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time. Once the formation is broken down, there is basically no way to fight back in the face of the cavalry charge. And these thousands of people who had been put together temporarily were first dispersed by the cavalry, and then there was a burst of chopping melons and vegetables. In less than a stick of incense, these thousands of people could not withstand the charge of the guards. After half of the people lay down, the rest dispersed in a hurry.
Among the remaining defeated troops, the smarter ones climbed up the mountains on both sides and escaped over the mountains and ridges. Although these people are not good at fighting, their ability to escape in this mountainous area is superb. Although he is not tall, he can run extremely fast up the mountain. Neither terraces nor steep slopes could slow them down. Before it was time to drink tea, those who went up the mountain had disappeared completely, and no one could catch them.
As for those who are more stupid, those who run along the road between the two mountains towards Shanchan Mansion in the west are more unlucky. Their two legs, no matter what, can't outrun the four legs behind them on this kind of road. Those who ran along the road were soon overtaken by the cavalry and cut down one by one. After two sticks of incense passed, the battlefield became completely calm.
But Huang Qiong, who had been suppressing a mouthful of blood, could not speak when facing the military attaché who came to ask for instructions, and could only signal Duan Jin to make the decision for him. Duan Jin did not hesitate after receiving Huang Qiong's signal. Five hundred people were ordered to stay to clean the battlefield and take care of the wounded soldiers. The rest of the troops immediately continued towards Shanchan Mansion. He held on to Huang Qiong on the surface, but actually helped Huang Qiong to walk towards the carriage.
The military attache who led the team was also a smart person. Although he didn't know that Huang Qiong was injured, he saw the look in Huang Qiong's eyes to Duan Jin. After guarding Huang Qiong for so many days, he knew that Concubine Duan was the number one person around the emperor. What's more, Duan Jin's arrow just now made the military attaché fall to the ground. Therefore, Duan Jin's instructions were implemented honestly and happily.
