Chapter 904: A Wise King Must Learn Idioms
"..." Upon hearing this, Yibishekui Khan stopped his steps and was about to leave: based on his understanding of a certain bastard - he was now absolutely trapped in an irreversible desperate situation.
"Hello? My dear Yibishekui Khan, we meet again." - Although Yibishekui Khan did not want to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu missed Yibishekui Khan very much.
After bypassing the charcoal on the ground, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, accompanied by Zhang Zhenxuan and several others, leisurely entered the tent of Yibi Shekui Khan, escorted by a team of shadow assassins wearing the standard equipment of the Black Armor Army.
The two met again after many years, and the offense and defense changed.
This time, King Chu definitely doesn't need to use glass to buy people.
“……”After meeting Li Kuan, Yibishekui Khan’s mood was so difficult to describe in words.
"What's wrong? You are so surprised to see me that you are so happy that you can't even speak?" Thanks to his own servant, King Chu didn't have to brave the arrows and stones this time, and he had already rushed to the front of Yibi Shekui Khan: "Do you still remember how you and that asshole Siyehu slandered me in the letter to the Tang Dynasty?"
"No...I haven't forgotten..." Yibishekui Khan didn't know why he had to continue the conversation.
"You haven't forgotten?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Yibi Shekui Khan in surprise, and then said, "You haven't forgotten... You haven't forgotten... Then I plan to kill you, do you have any objections?"
"I am willing to surrender." When Yibi Shekui Khan caught a glimpse of Pei Xingyan standing next to Li Kuan, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva - although the reckless Yuwen Qing did not come, the pressure Pei Xingyan gave him was obviously greater than that of Yuwen Qing.
"That's fine. If you are willing to surrender, I can spare your life. Just follow me back to Gaochang. After that, you can go to Chang'an City to apologize to the tyrant. Is that ok?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was a down-to-earth man. Seeing that Yibi Shekui Khan did not say anything after hearing this, he naturally thought that the other party had tacitly agreed to his conditions: "Xing Yan, please break this guy's legs, and then we can leave the city in the chaos."
"Yes!" Pei Xingyan moved upon hearing the voice. The next moment, he came to Yibi Shekui Khan, who was about to beg Li Kuan for mercy, and kicked the other's calf.
"Ah!" Yibishekui Khan let out a heart-wrenching scream, but no Turkic soldiers outside the tent responded to him - those guards who were loyal to him had already fallen under the knives of the shadow assassins.
"Leave him a good leg." Seeing Pei Xingyan was about to carry out his order, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment and then said, "If the Khan Song and Dance Troupe in Chang'an needs new members in the future, he might be able to be of use. The Honglu Temple does not keep idle people. This is a principle that Lord Tang has always adhered to. We can't take it lightly."
"If Lord Tang knew you said this, he would be so touched." Jiang Sheng, who had always been with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu but had no choice but to have all his work taken away by Pei Xingyan, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Your Highness, after capturing Jie Li alive, you wanted to imprison Lord Tang in Ma--"
"——Ah Sheng, you are talking too much!" Upon hearing this, King Chu hurriedly stopped the other person from talking: "Besides, it's already late, don't we have to quickly meet up with Yuwen Qing and the others?"
"Your Highness, you and the Little Heavenly Master take this person out of the city first. I will try to meet up with Yuwen Qing and the others." Pei Xingyan said as he brought Yipi Shekui to Jiang Sheng and handed him over. "The city is in chaos right now. You shouldn't stay here for too long."
"Yes, Your Highness, the longer you stay, the more we lose - these are the elite warriors that the old lady left for you!" Upon hearing this, Wang Xuance also seized the opportunity to persuade the King of Chu: "You should at least leave some assets for yourself..."
“Xuan Ce, you don’t understand…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hands and then looked at Yibi Shekui Khan: “When you meet that tyrant king later, remember to tell him the result of this battle - in order to save his face, I have almost emptied my family fortune…”
"..."What else could Yibishekui Khan say? The King of Chu's wealth was almost gone, and he had even lost his life.
Damn it, I haven’t seen him for a long time, but this bastard still likes to kill people and destroy their hearts?
"Your Highness, let's go first." Zhang Zhenxuan saw that the other retainers looked reluctant after hearing what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said. He knew that there was definitely a trick, so he naturally had to cooperate with his master to continue the trick: "No matter how much bitterness and pain there is, after this battle, the world will be able to see clearly that you are the real wise king."
"That's right," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded immediately upon hearing this, "This King has always been a man of bright and clear character, caring for the world, full of benevolence, and loyal—"
"--Take the person away." Seeing that King Chu started to brag even without drinking, Zhang Zhenxuan waved to Jiang Sheng, signaling him to leave quickly.
If only His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu were given the opportunity to continue to display his talent, this guy could recite idioms until dawn.
"Zhen Xuan, you're going too far..." King Chu watched helplessly as Jiang Sheng, Xuan Ce and others left with Yibi Shekui Khan under the escort of Pei Xingyan. His self-confidence suffered a huge blow at this moment: "This time, the king suffered such a heavy loss, so I have to find ways to comfort myself. Isn't this okay?"
"Okay, Your Highness..." Zhang Zhenxuan pointed to the sky helplessly after hearing that.
Following his action, several muffled thunders were heard again in the dark night sky: Boom...
Zhang Zhenxuan's meaning couldn't be simpler: I know you can guess it, so conversely, I can guess it too...
"Alright, alright... that's boring..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand and walked out of the tent: "Let's leave the city and go back to Gaochang!"
"Aren't you waiting for Yuwen Qing and the others?"
"Zhenxuan, you don't understand this..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sighed when he heard this: "That grandson of Siyehu is naturally at a disadvantage in front of Yuwen Qing - at the beginning, he led 2,000 cavalrymen and couldn't beat the 300 followers led by Yuwen Qing. With Gangzi here this time, I'm not too worried." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, his face suddenly changed, and then returned to normal: "There was a riot at the city gate. The Loulan envoy was smart. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately planned to take his people away. We just took this opportunity to rush out."
"Your Highness, what should we do with the assassins in the city?" Zhang Zhenxuan still didn't know how his master managed to recruit these black-clad men who looked like heavenly soldiers.
"I will leave 500 people to deal with any accidents that may occur on the way back. The rest..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "Just stay in Qianquan City. After all, I have to find an excuse to blackmail these fence-sitters in the Western Regions after this battle."
