Chapter 202 The saber ceremony
The White Wolf King looked serious.
Qin Xiao knew that Teqin was an official position in Wutuo, second only to Ye Hu. He had the official position of Teqin in Wutuo, which meant he belonged to the nobility.
Asking for half of Fushan's wealth is already extremely tempting, let alone giving him the status of a special service agent.
Many Wutuo generals have made many achievements in battle, but they cannot obtain the status of special service throughout their lives. Once they are regarded as special service, not only will their status be distinguished, but the tribe they belong to will also be respected by other tribes.
A population of 1,000 households is not that many.
Wealth, status, land and population, this is already the most generous reward that the White Wolf King can give.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and said: "King Khan, these gifts are really... irresistible!"
"So, you agreed?" The White Wolf King spread his brows and laughed.
Qin Xiao looked at Yuwen Chengchao and asked, "Eldest Young Master, do you think I should agree?"
"No one else can give you advice on such a decision." Yuwen Chengchao said solemnly: "At least these things that King Khan gave you, the Yuwen family will never be able to give you."
Qin Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "King Khan, I am really grateful that you are so generous, but... I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."
The White Wolf King frowned and said: "Do you know that this kind of opportunity only comes once. I have made my promise, and since I have made a promise, I will definitely fulfill it. Do you think about it again?"
"No need." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "King Khan, I was born and raised in Xiling, a native of the Tang Dynasty. King Khan has been so kind to me, and I am really grateful in my heart, but as a Tang person, I may not be used to it in Wutuo.
.”
"Many people from the Tang Dynasty did not like it at first when they came to the Khanate." White Wolf King said: "But as time goes by, you will get used to everything. If you stay in Wutuo, you will be completely used to it in less than a year and a half.
, when the time comes, marry a wife and have children, and your descendants will continue to live in glory."
"But I don't have any love for this land." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I am a land lover, and I am not used to living outside. In the land of Tang State, even if I am just a beggar, I still feel that I am at home.
, but after leaving the Tang Dynasty, even if the palace is filled with gold and jade, I can only feel that I am wandering. I can only accept the kindness of the Khan."
Yuwen Chengchao then smiled and said to the White Wolf King: "King Khan, it seems that my guess is indeed correct. Wang Xiao will not agree."
The White Wolf King also smiled and said: "Wang Xiao, you missed a good opportunity, but with your character, you will definitely have better opportunities in the future." He stroked his beard and said: "Let's do this, after returning to the city, we must raid the Qifu
You can go to Shan’s home and pick three things from his home, whether they are people or things, you can take them away.”
"this......!"
"King Khan has given you a reward, please thank him quickly." Yuwen Chengchao said immediately.
Qin Xiao thought that since Qi Fushan had great power, he should have collected quite a few rare and exotic treasures over the years. Since the White Wolf King had given the word, he would have no choice but to pick out three treasures, even though he already had that one.
Bags of treasures, but there are probably not many people in this world who would think they have too much money.
Although the team was only a few dozen miles away from White Wolf City, they never set off.
After waiting for several hours, when it got dark, I finally heard the sound of horse hooves and saw a large group of cavalry approaching from the direction of White Wolf City.
Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice: "Be alert!"
Fat Fish and others immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, and all the Wutuo cavalry quickly came forward to guard the White Wolf King.
The horse's hooves brought up the billowing dust, and as it approached, the speed slowed down. The White Wolf King put his hands on his hips, surrounded by the Wutuo Wolf Guards, raised his neck, and looked at Lai Qi with a stern expression.
However, Qin Xiao quickly recognized that the person who came to ride in front was the one begging for strength.
His heart trembled, and he secretly thought that Qiguli came with a large group of people, was he going to fight to the death?
Previously, the White Wolf King sent someone to send a letter to Qi Guli, but he didn't know what it said. If the letter told Qi Fushan that Qi Fushan was dead, Qi Guli would have no choice but to give it a try.
But they saw Qi Guli suddenly got off his horse and walked towards the White Wolf King alone. He was still a few steps away and suddenly pulled out his saber. Yu Wen Chengchao and others were holding the sword tightly. Although Qi Guli looked powerful and fierce,
It is absolutely impossible for him to harm the White Wolf King alone.
Three steps away from the White Wolf King, Qi Guli suddenly knelt down on the ground, holding the saber across his hands and raising it above his head.
"Qi Guli pays homage to the White Wolf King." Qi Guli said loudly: "According to the order of King Khan, we have surrounded Qifushan's residence and detained all his family members. The unjust criminals in prison have also been released. Qi Guli's crime is extremely heinous.
I beg the Khan to punish me!"
The White Wolf King walked up slowly, and Yuwen Chengchao whispered: "King Khan, be careful."
The White Wolf King didn't care. He walked up to Qi Guli, reached out and took the knife Qi Guli raised, then put the blade on Qi Guli's head and said calmly: "What I promised will not change.
.Your family and tribe will be protected, and I will not harm them."
Qi Guli said: "King Khan is so kind to me, Qi Guli will always be grateful." Suddenly he took out a dagger from his waist, and without any nonsense, he stabbed it directly into his throat.
Qin Xiao was shocked when he saw this, and even Yuwen Chengchao also changed his face slightly.
But Qin Xiao finally understood at this time that the letter sent by the White Wolf King to Qi Guli was to ask Qi Guli to lead people to arrest the family members of Qi Fushan and then release Tiemuhe and others. The terms of the transaction
, obviously Qi Guli’s family and tribe can be exempted from the guilt, as long as Qi Guli can die to apologize.
The White Wolf King threw the knife on Qi Guli's corpse, then made a gesture to the group of cavalry Qi Guli brought, and without saying another word, turned around and walked back.
The group of cavalry rushed over quickly and in an orderly manner. They used their horses' hooves to trample over Qi Guli's body. Dozens of horsemen trampled back and forth. Before long, Qi Guli's corpse was trampled into a pulp. It was extremely terrifying.
Qin Xiao was also shocked.
The White Wolf King looks very kind, but his actions are also very cruel.
But he also understands that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If the White Wolf King loses, the end will be equally miserable.
At this time, the White Wolf King had already climbed onto his horse, flicked the reins, and urged the horse. The wolf guards who had followed the White Wolf King and the Wutuo cavalry who had followed the Qiguli quickly formed a cavalry team and followed the White Wolf.
Behind the king, like a strong wind sweeping across the earth, he flew towards White Wolf City.
There was the sound of horses' hooves, and the earth made a thunderous sound. Before long, the team was no longer visible.
Qin Xiao looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said with a bitter smile: "Young Master, has King Khan abandoned us now?"
"He wants to return to the city to stabilize the situation." Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said to Pang Yu: "Pang Yu, tell everyone, let's go too.
"
In fact, there were not many people left, and Shopkeeper Bai's carriage couldn't go too fast. After walking for more than twenty miles in the direction of Bailang City, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front again. This time, another person came.
There were dozens of riders approaching, and the first rider was an old man. He reined in his horse and bowed in salute: "Xue Qilu of the White Wolf tribe, on the order of King Khan, came to greet the distinguished guests!" He raised his hand and said: "Please!
"
It was at this moment that the dozens of cavalry he brought quickly separated and lined up on the left and right sides. There was a spacious road in the middle. The cavalry on horseback all held sabers in their hands, but the blades pointed forward diagonally.
ground.
Yuwen Chengchao whispered to Qin Xiao: "This is the sword-slaying ceremony of the Wutuo people. Only the most distinguished friends can enjoy such a courtesy."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I thought the White Wolf King didn't care about us."
At this moment, he saw Qi Jin and Xue Qi Lu taking out a horn and blowing it to the sky, and a low sound sounded.
Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "The White Wolf King is so polite."
"My eldest son, what's the point of saying this?"
"Even to welcome the most distinguished friends, all it takes is the cavalry blowing the trumpet." Yuwen Chengchao said: "The one who blows the trumpet is Qi Jin, which means that no matter what happens, the White Wolf King's sword will always be there.
It won’t be pointed at us.”
Fat Fish couldn't help but said: "Young Master, since we are the most noble friends, of course they will not point their knives at us."
"You are wrong." Yuwen Chengchao said: "Friends can change. Today we are the most noble friends, but tomorrow we may become enemies with swords facing each other. When Qi Jin blows the trumpet, what the White Wolf King means is
, During his lifetime, his sword will not be directed at us. We are from Xiling. What the White Wolf King means more deeply is that the White Wolf tribe will never march eastward into Xiling." His face was full of joy and he said: "
This is King Khan's promise, and such a reward is better than anything else." He stood up and dismounted.
When everyone saw Yu Wencheng dismounting, they also dismounted.
"Since King Khan has given such courtesy and promise, we have to dismount." Yuwen Chengchao said, holding the horse and taking the lead in walking between the two teams of Wutuo cavalry. The others followed Yuwen Chengchao, one
One by one, they walked over and saw Shopkeeper Bai's carriage. Tang Rong also got out of the carriage. Shopkeeper Bai had limited legs and could only sit in the car.
Although Xue Qilu was not young, he was not weak in strength. It was not until the carriage passed the cavalry road that the sound of the horn stopped.
Xue Qilu put away his horn and flew forward on a flying horse. He reached Yuwen Chengchao's side and saluted with his arms crossed. Yuwen Chengchao hurriedly raised his hands and saluted. Xue Qilu said: "Are you the eldest son Yuwen?"
"It's me."
"Master Yuwen, the King of Khan has entered the city and wants to summon Ye Hu, Teqin and Qijin to hold a meeting, so we can't hold a banquet today." Xue Qilu said: "The King of Khan has ordered that you all have a rest tonight. We will invite guests to the Khan's Palace tomorrow night.
We will have a banquet and I will invite you all to the banquet. I wonder what the eldest master would like?"
Yu Wen Chengchao smiled and said: "Everything will follow the arrangements of King Khan."
"Who is Wang Xiao?"
Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said, "That's right, kid."
"King Khan has an order to search Qifushan's mansion tomorrow." Xue Qilu said: "Before the search, please go to the mansion to pick out three things. I will take you there then. Is it okay after breakfast tomorrow?"
