Chapter 283: Dark and Windy Night of Murder
The night deepened.
Zhao Changhe staggered out of the tent.
A guard immediately stopped him with a nervous smile and asked in a not-so-standard Central Plains Mandarin: "Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"
Zhao Changhe glanced at him: "Why, am I a guest or a prisoner? Is it your business where I go?"
"Uh, no, we are a military camp after all, it's not good to walk around..."
Zhao Changhe glanced at the guards and smiled: "Then did your Khan say to serve the distinguished guest well?"
"Yes, yes..."
The guards talked and talked, and for some reason they gradually felt more and more respect for Mr. Zhao. The Khan's instructions to serve well were infinitely magnified, and the secret instructions to watch them and not let them leave were gradually forgotten.
Not only one guard was like this, but almost all the guards around who were swept by Zhao Changhe's eyes had this feeling at the same time, and their thoughts were guided by his words, becoming more and more confused.
When the door of the secret treasure is touched, the spirit can be mobilized to a certain extent. The spirit control from the Great Law of Bliss was originally useless, but now it can be officially put into use.
Maitreya Sect used this set to shake the hearts of believers when they first deceived them, but later it became distorted and was used more to mess with women, but Zhao Changhe still felt that it was more meaningful to use it to mess with men...
It has the same meaning as the frightening effect of his own blood evil skill. If it can be integrated and used, this thing can play an unexpectedly important role in the future battle.
For example, now.
When fooling the guards of the Gusu Lu family, it was necessary to change the appearance and makeup to cooperate with the effect, and there were fewer people to face. There are so many people here, there is no disguise, and it is an attempt to touch and guide them directly with words.
The effect is really good... Under the absolute strength gap, these soldiers can't resist such spiritual guidance at all, and follow his words step by step.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Uh, there's a chamber pot in the tent."
"I just don't like using a chamber pot, right? Can't a grown man just find a corner and do it?"
"Sir is right..."
"If you don't want me to hang around the barracks, then just follow me." Zhao Changhe turned and walked to the corner of the tent: "Come on, come on."
A group of guards followed him in a daze.
A red shadow flashed behind him, and Yue Hongling had taken the opportunity to leave and escape into the night.
Zhao Changhe watched Yue Hongling disappear in the darkness behind him, then he stopped to relieve himself behind the tent with a smile, and asked casually, "Is the Khan receiving new guests?"
"Yes."
"Are they still having a banquet? Are they also staying in the tent to rest, or are there other guest tents?"
"The Khan is entertaining guests in the main tent, he will definitely not stay in the main tent to rest, there are other guest tents."
"Where is the guest tent? As a guest, I want to pay a visit."
"Oh, sir, follow me..."
Unconsciously, the guards had forgotten what their original mission was, and even served to pee. Isn't this a servant, doing whatever the master says.
Zhao Changhe followed the guards all the way around and arrived at the tent location that was originally impossible to find.
Other tribesmen along the way didn't even know who he was, and there were tribal soldiers who came with open arms and no one questioned what they were doing.
When they got close, Zhao Changhe looked at the guards in the tent from afar and waved his hand kindly: "Okay, you guys go get busy."
The guards bowed and left: "Sir, go to bed early."
Zhao Changhe watched them go away, and suddenly flashed and hid in the darkness of the corner.
Yue Hongling appeared silently beside him, with a strange look in his eyes: "Hey..."
"Ah?"
"Have you, have you used this trick on me? That's why I fell in love with you, right?"
Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yue Hongling also knew that her question was unreasonable. She hummed for a long time before saying: "Anyway, you are not allowed to do this to other girls in the future, otherwise I will be the first to take your head!"
"Yeah, you are indeed."
Yue Hongling's eyebrows were raised.
Zhao Changhe pulled her sleeve: "People are coming."
Yue Hongling shrank and squatted quietly beside him.
In the path formed by torches in the distance, Batu was personally sending Wubalu's envoy over. From this scene alone, we can roughly see Batu's inclination.
The two men grasped the hilts of their swords at the same time.
…………
The banquet that Batu held to receive the envoys was much more high-end than the one that he held to receive Zhao Changhe and his wife.
Deep down, he felt that his contact with Zhao Changhe was shameful, and facing the Khan made him feel inferior in mentality. It was extremely grand, with cattle and sheep slaughtered at a banquet, women dancing, and important people from the tribe gathered together.
The envoys were not just one or two people, but a delegation of more than ten people, so it would naturally be more grand.
Amid the singing and dancing, the envoys still asked for the blame first: "Why are you in such a hurry, Khan? I went to your station and found nothing, but I turned around and found myself here."
Batu cursed in his heart, are you really waiting for you to mediate, so that Heshan and I can each divide the territory and the people, and the War Lion Tribe into two? I'm not stupid.
He could only smile heartily: "What are you talking about, envoy? We didn't know the envoy was coming. If we had known earlier, we would have invited the envoy to have a meal first."
At this point, the envoy had no choice. The Khan wanted the War Lions to split up, and no matter how clear his plan was, he couldn't say it openly. Moreover, Batu was not without a backer. He had a friendship with the Temple and a good relationship with Chili. If he really came hard, what would the Temple's attitude be?
Since he was late, the War Lions had already been unified, so what could he do?
It can only be said that Batu's battles were really beautiful. He attacked the Wild Wolf Tribe neatly, stabilized the internal situation with resources, won over a few wavering brothers, and quickly attacked other disobedient people. He swept thousands of miles in just half a month. The main army of the Khan was confronting Huangfu Yongxian. When he received the news, only Heshan was still resisting in the originally fragmented War Lions. In the end, he was still late to save Heshan.
This shows that although Batu's personal strength is not outstanding, his military ability is very strong. Whether it is grasping the timing or commanding the battle formation, he is a first-class talent. In fact, his personal strength is not bad. After all, he is among the potential dragons. How many can there be in the world? He has the complete inheritance of Helei. If he is given some time and a stage, his future is limitless.
The messenger could only say: "Before, Helei Khan died unexpectedly in the Middle Earth. The War Lion Tribe was unable to participate in the war. It was a great loss for us, which slowed down the momentum of the attack. The Khan has been heartbroken. Now that he knows that there is someone to inherit Helei Khan's affairs, the Khan is also relieved."
Batu said: "Thank you for your concern, Khan."
The messenger said: "Recently, seeing the arrival of the first snow, the battle between the Khan and Huangfu Yongxian has intensified. Several large-scale attacks have broken out, and each has suffered casualties. Since the Khan has stabilized internal affairs, should he participate in the Battle of Yanmen?"
Batu said lightly: "This Khan has just conquered the Heshan tribe, and there are still remnants... Besides, this Khan is young, and the tribe is very turbulent. I am afraid it will be difficult to raise a large army..."
"The Khan will send a letter to all tribes, publicly announce the legitimacy of Batu Khan, and confer the title of Lion King. What do you think, Khan?"
Batu was overjoyed, and that was what he wanted.
Batu is nominally Helei's nephew, but in fact, Helei is the biological son of Batu's father. Helei himself has no son, so he "partialized" this nephew early on, took him in as his own heir, and gave him the treasure of the clan. Even if there is no will left, the elders of the clan know that the inheritance should belong to Batu. Why can uncles and brothers still quarrel over the inheritance?
Because the Khan acquiesced to others' competition under the excuse of "the war is tight and there is no time to care about your affairs". After all, Batu is not a "biological son", which gives others an excuse to compete.
As long as the Khan is willing to admit it, the so-called internal turmoil will no longer exist, and his position will be as stable as Mount Tai from then on. Not only that, the outside world will not dare to covet it. What kind of wild wolf tribe dares to intercept his food? His war lion tribe is one of the largest tribes, no joke.
More importantly, with the title of "king", this political capital is different. For example, now Wubalu is bossy, but when the time comes, it will be Wubalu who will kneel down to him.
Eating the Wild Wolf Tribe is equivalent to being tacitly approved, and the subsequent plan to eat the Hu Lie Tribe is more certain.
Compared with the rebellion with one's head hanging on the belt, and the illusory support from Da Xia, this seems to be more real.
The envoy observed Batu's words and knew that he was moved, and said: "In addition, when Hu Lie disappeared, some people in their tribe suspected that it was related to you. This envoy will be responsible for mediating this matter."
Batu was very happy: "Thank you, envoy! This is exactly what this Khan has been worried about recently. Hu Lie was defeated by Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling. What does it have to do with me?"
The host and the guests enjoyed the wine, and the envoy was slightly drunk, so he said: "I will go back to rest first, and I need to report to the Khan tomorrow morning. If we can break through Yanmen, Khan will be more than a lion king, why can't he be a king of Jin!"
Batu was very moved, and began to care about the envoy instead. He thought to himself that if this guy went back drunk, if Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling came over, it might be over. He personally helped the envoy to stand up: "This Khan will send the envoy over."
He whispered to his attendants: "Take a team of elite soldiers to escort me and the envoy, and have someone strictly control Zhao Changhe's tent... No, just capture him."
Batu was in his own camp, leading hundreds of people, surrounding himself and the envoy to the VIP tent, and stopped outside the tent. He signaled the soldiers to surround the tent. He thought it was absolutely safe, and then smiled to the envoy: "Then don't disturb the envoy to rest."
The envoy waved drunkenly.
Batu turned around and left. Just after walking a few steps, a piercing chill rose from his heart.
Subconsciously turning his head, he saw the red feather under the moon flying over. The figure who had just saved him a few hours ago was now chasing his soul and demanding his life.
"They really came to assassinate me!" Batu drew his sword and shouted: "Protect me!"
A group of guards gathered in front of him with good preparation. Yue Hongling stepped on one of them's shoulders, like an eagle striking the palace, and stabbed Batu's face with a sword again from a high position. Under the moonlight, the murderous intent in his eyes was clearly visible as if it was real.
"She wants to kill me..." Batu had this thought in his mind, and he dared not to confront her, and retreated quickly.
Countless soldiers rushed in from all around, and even the guards around the envoy's tent subconsciously blocked Yue Hongling's retreat from the back.
The envoy also stood outside the tent and watched, shouting: "You all go, can you help..."
Before he finished speaking, a broadsword in the darkness seemed to "grow" out of the shadow, without sound, without form, without trace, and without even the sound of wind.
The whole space seemed to be stagnant, without wind or moon, only endless darkness, blood, and death.
Following the "Gods and Buddhas are scattered" and "There is no self in heaven and earth", there is the third secret technique that can only be used in the eighth level of Xuan Guan: "Hell is like this".
It wasn't until the knife reached his throat that the messenger suddenly woke up and quickly drew his knife to fight.
But all he could see was a pair of bloody eyes, looking like a demon's gaze in the darkness.
Shock surged into his heart, and the messenger's hand holding the knife became a little stiff.
Just this little bit, the broad knife passed over the neck, and the head flew into the sky.
Zhao Changhe grabbed the head, raised it and shouted: "The Khan's layout was really good and he succeeded in killing this beast. Please tell me what to do next."
The envoy's entourage and guards were stunned.
All Batu's men were stunned.
Yue Hongling sheathed her sword and flew back, her murderous eyes filled with smiles.
Batu looked at Yue Hongling in mid-air, and then at Zhao Changhe who was holding his head, and finally there was a hint of sternness in his eyes: "Nonsense, of course the next step is to kill the envoy's entourage! Don't miss another one!"
After speaking, he took a deep breath and said something that others thought was very friendly: "Zhao Changhe, I'll fuck your mother!"
