Hearing Li Jiangyao's request, Tanli couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He has a very bad relationship with his brother Shu Beichuan. Even if he sends someone to ask for him, even if he goes to ask for it himself, the captain of the Guidou tribe may not be willing to betray him.
"Brother, please ask me first," Tanley tried to ask, "Why are you looking for that old guy?"
Li Jiangyao sneered: "It seems that His Highness still thinks he has a long life!"
After saying that, he secretly activated his inner strength, and the sword energy once again approached Tanli.
With his life hanging by a thread, the second Turkic prince simply panicked and shouted sternly: "Don't act recklessly! This is the Turkic camp. If you kill me, you won't survive!"
A chill flashed in Li Jiangyao's eyes. He raised his hand and cut off the tendon in Tanli's left hand with a knife. At the same time, he scolded: "If you continue talking nonsense, your life will be worse than death!"
Tanley screamed in pain and almost fainted on the spot.
He knew that the guy opposite was a daring lunatic. Back then, he dared to lead 400 cavalry to raid the enemy camp of 40,000 people. Today, he dares to kill the Turkic prince first and then fight his way out of the encirclement alone!
Even if Li Jiangyao couldn't rush out in the end, wouldn't he be killed by him one step ahead?
Thinking of this, Tanli endured the severe pain, put on a negotiable expression again, and said tremblingly: "Brother, eldest brother, I was joking with you just now, don't be angry. I'm looking for my brother Shu Beichuan, right? Okay, okay, I Make arrangements immediately!”
As he said that, he turned around and shouted: "Go quickly and invite the Prince of the Temple!"
Tanli's mind was spinning fast. He knew that his men couldn't move Shu Beichuan, but Ronya could. The dignified Turkic prince was kidnapped by Li Jiangyao in his camp, and the temple prince would not care what he said.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the area around the Eleventh Army General's tent to become lively. Prince Ronia of the temple, Shu Beichuan, the leader of the Ghost Dou clan, and a large number of Turkic generals rushed here.
This was the first time for Ronya to meet Li Jiangyao. He did not expect that the famous commander-in-chief of the Zhenjiang Army, Baron Metasequoia, would be so young, and he could not understand why Li Jiangyao would break into the Turkic military camp alone and kidnap Prince Tanli.
are you crazy? !
"General Li, I am the Temple Prince of the Turkic Empire and the Marshal of the Western Route Crusade, Ronya Jan Delzan. Whatever you want to do, feel free to tell me directly, but for the sake of military honor, please do not hurt His Highness the Prince. "
Li Jiangyao glanced at the Turkic generals one by one with interest, and finally his eyes fell on Ge Shu Beichuan, and responded with a smile: "Your Highness, thank you for remembering the military honor. The honor of your Turkic soldiers is to dispatch assassins. Poisoning civilian officials?”
Ronya was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her brother Shu Beichuan. Seeing the confused look on his face, she couldn't help but frown: "General Li, I don't understand. What do you mean by this?"
Li Jiangyao said disdainfully: "Just today, our army discovered many killers from the Ghost Dou clan who had sneaked into the city, and one of them stabbed the military commander Shi Xie Tanzhi. How come, His Highness the Prince didn't know anything about it?"
Before Ronya could speak, Geshu Beichuan rushed to say: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense, we have never sent any killers!"
Ronya did not comment on his words.
He had heard beforehand that the Great Khan had assigned a top-secret mission to Shu Xuan, the young master of the Ghost Dou Clan, and it might be related to this matter. However, he did not know the details of the assassination operation and did not bear any responsibility.
Ronya smiled faintly and said calmly: "General Li, I admire your courage. But unfortunately, you are a foolhardy man. To the Great Khan and the Turkic Empire, you, the leader of the rebels, , the Protector of the Zhenjiang Army is the biggest threat at present, I would rather sacrifice the prince’s life to keep you.”
"Stop bluffing me!" Li Jiangyao laughed loudly: "Without me, Li Jiangyao, the Zhenjiang Army would still fight you to the bitter end, and the Shengtang Dynasty would still drive you out of the country! But Prince Tanli, one of the heirs to the Turkic Khanate, He died in the hands of your temple prince Ronya, can you bear this responsibility?"
Ronya's gray eyebrows couldn't help but twitch twice. Li Jiangyao was right. The dispute involving the Turkic crown prince was a taboo that no one dared to touch easily, not even the Temple Prince with great military exploits.
If Li Jiangyao dies, not only will the Zhenjiang Army not collapse, but it may go completely crazy and pursue Ronia all over the world for revenge.
If Tanli dies, not only will the Great Khan not receive any reward, but he will be angry with Ronya and his relatives because the balance of imperial power has been completely broken.
No matter how you calculate this account, it is not worthwhile.
Ronya could only put away her temper and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want?"
"It's very simple," Li Jiangyao smiled: "I want the antidote."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and shot a poisonous needle at Ge Shu Beichuan. Since there wasn't too much internal force exerted on it, the opponent easily grasped the poisonous needle with two fingers.
Of course Ge Shu Beichuan knew that Ge Shu Xuan had sent ghost shadow groups to assassinate important figures in the Xinjiang Suppression Army under the orders of Ashina Zhijin, so he knew without looking that the poisonous needle did come from their Gui Dou clan.
Li Jiangyao understood everything just by looking at his expression, and then took out a poison needle from his waist and sneered: "I want the antidote, can you give it to me?"
Brother Shu Beichuan didn't speak, just stared at Li Jiangyao quietly.
Ronya noticed something was wrong and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, the next second Li Jiangyao had already inserted the poisonous needle into Tanli's shoulder.
"I want an antidote, will it be given to me?!"
Tanli screamed: "Damn it, you are so fucking cruel! You want to kill me!"
The poison of the Ghost Dou tribe is no joke. As soon as the poison needle pierced the body, the second prince Tanli reacted instantly, and his face quickly turned gray.
However, Li Jiangyao showed no mercy, and then stabbed the opponent three times in a row.
Tanli was in pain and scared, and screamed.
Ronya's expression also changed drastically, she turned around and shouted: "Brother Shu Beichuan, antidote!"
"Your Highness, I..."
Before Brother Shu Beichuan could finish speaking, Ronya roared angrily: "If the second prince dies under your poisonous needle, and he dies in front of you, you will be slaughtered!"
This threat from the Golden Clan, like the poison from the Ghost Dou Clan, cannot be treated as a joke. Brother Shu Beichuan no longer hesitated and quickly took out a lambskin bag from his waist bag and threw it directly to Li Jiangyao.
"There are three antidotes in it. Take one for His Highness first, quickly!"
Li Jiangyao raised his hand to take the sheepskin bag, smiled coldly, then opened the bag with one hand, squeezed out a pill and threw it in front of Tanli.
Like a drowning man seeing a buoy, Stanley hurriedly picked up the antidote from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
After waiting for a while, the poisonous gas on his face significantly weakened, and his originally very rapid breathing slowly slowed down.
Seeing that the medicine had indeed cured the disease, Li Jiangyao finally felt at ease. Then he pulled Tanli up, still pressing the opponent's throat with the Xingluo knife, and shouted: "Everyone, get out of my way!"
"General Li, don't bully others too much!" Ronya didn't move at all: "Let His Highness go, and I can let you leave safely!"
Li Jiangyao smiled slyly: "Prince, I believe your words. But I can't believe your people. If you want Prince Tanli to be safe, it's very simple. Ask him to accompany me to Zijin Pass, and I will definitely release him."
Ronya shook his head: "That won't work. Tonight, you sneaked into our army camp, kidnapped His Highness the Prince, and got the antidote. You have won three games in a row. If you kidnap him back to Zijin Pass, then I don't have to do it again. You are a human being. Therefore, there is no way His Highness will follow you even half a step out of the camp gate!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Jiangyao seemed calm and unhurried.
"General Li, if you want to save your military commander Shi, you have to pay a price," Ronya said equally calmly: "If you have the ability, just get out of here! Otherwise, you will just waste your precious time and watch helplessly. Die with your friends."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, I can also give you a chance and make a bet with you. You can escape within a stick of incense. When the time is up, we will intercept and suppress with all our strength. The outcome depends on who you are. Otherwise, we will remain in a stalemate here, and you won’t be able to leave even if you want to."
Li Jiangyao thought to himself: This old guy is really ruthless. He saw that I had obtained the antidote and was eager to leave, so he turned from defensive to offensive, forcing me to submit on the condition that I did not dare to take the typhoid fever easily. If he doesn't agree, he will have no choice but to waste his time. He doesn't dare to attack, and I don't dare to kill Tanley.
As for agreeing to his conditions, it seems that it took a long time to burn the stick of incense. However, the Turkic military camp occupies a very large area. Even if he ran with all his strength, he could only burn out of the camp in one stick of incense, but he was still far away from Zijin Pass. .
If the opponent pursues him with all his strength, whether he can get away tonight is really only between 50 and 50.
Ronya seemed to have read Li Jiangyao's thoughts, and said calmly: "What? Are you scared?"
Li Jiangyao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since I dare to come here, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that if you light the incense here, I can't see it even if I run far away. How can I control the rhythm of time? It's not safe. , not safe."
Ronya was slightly startled: "Oh? Then tell me, how can we do it better?"
Li Jiangyao helped Tanli, who was about to collapse, and asked, "Do you have a war drum or horn here?"
Ronya felt a little curious: "You mean, use sound instead of burning incense?"
"That's right," Li Jiangyao nodded: "If you beat the drums hundreds of times or blow the horns hundreds of times, I can hear you clearly and it's easy to calculate the time. When the time is up, you can send as many people as you want to surround me. Everyone accepts their destiny and sees the true chapter in their hands."
"Okay, have fun!" Ronya looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's up to you. For our Turkic horn horns, it takes about a dozen finger snaps to blow a long tune. I'll give you a hundred blasts. Why? Sample?"
Li Jiangyao agreed simply and neatly: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Ronya looked at him thoughtfully, then turned around and ordered: "Inform the soldiers of each battalion, and the limit is one hundred blasts of the trumpet in the commander's camp. Before the trumpet is blown, General Li is allowed to leave at will, and the trumpet blows After that, there is no need to ask for instructions, just kill without mercy!"
After finishing speaking, he added: "It is related to the honor of Turkic soldiers. No one is allowed to take advantage of opportunities, violate the agreement, and take action against General Li in advance. Otherwise, he will be punished according to military law!"
