Waking up early the next morning, Xie Ci still had a hangover headache.After rubbing his temples and reading the documents for a while, he became more and more drowsy, so he simply got up and put on his outer robe, planning to go out for a few laps.

However, before he could put on his clothes, there was an announcement from outside the tent, and Xie Ci had no choice but to sit back, "What's the matter?"

Lu Shaoyang walked in hurriedly, clasped his fists solemnly and said, "General, the envoys from the Turkucha Department have come, saying that their Snow Wolf King was killed by the Han people, and they came to seek justice."

"Turkucha?" Xie Ci rolled the name around on the tip of his tongue and sneered, "It's only been a month since the beginning of winter, and they can't sit still... Shaoyang, call the lieutenants and Mr. Ke to come Master accountant, watch Pei Zhao and don't tell him to run around."

"Yes." Lu Shaoyang responded solemnly, then hesitated for a moment when he suddenly remembered something, "What about Wang Jianjun?"

Xie Ci stood up and straightened his clothes, snorted with a half-smile, and said: "He, you don't need to call, he will go faster than us."

The Turkucha tribe is one of the three most powerful tribes among the barbarians in the north. They are fierce and warlike. They have always had the most friction with the border. They always come to the border to harass them. When I was still there, I signed an armistice treaty, and there have been no large-scale battles in recent years.

After winter in the north, the weather was severe and harsh, and the barbarians lacked food, so they often went south to plunder, so winter was also the time when wars broke out most frequently.It can be seen that the Turkucha Department is no longer reconciled to living in a corner of the grassland to maintain the peace in front of it.

When Xie Ci arrived at the main tent, Wang Gan was already waiting there, and the two of them met their eyes, and they smiled.When all the people arrived, the envoys from the Turkucha Department were ushered in.

The visitor was as big as a WWE champion, and the bear-like figure seemed to be too big, and the big tent seemed to be quite low and depressed. Our soldiers standing next to him looked like little chickens.Xie Ci felt a little suffocated.

"Your Excellency, General." The envoy clenched his fist with his right hand and beat his left chest, and saluted Xie Ci with the Turkucha Ministry.

Xie Ci ordered someone to give him a seat, and asked politely: "Why is the messenger here?"

The envoy's gloomy eyes were hidden under the high eyebrows, and he said loudly in Chinese with an accent: "Yesterday, the Snow Wolf King of Changshengtian was killed by a Han. The Snow Wolf King is my Turkucha wolf!" God is the supreme god of Changshengtian! Your Excellency General, your Han people killed my god, and Turkucha needs an explanation!"

A lieutenant general said loudly: "Your Excellency, what evidence do you have?"

"Of course," the envoy stretched out his palm like a cattail fan and slapped it twice, "come in!"

A person walked in from outside the tent. He obviously had never seen such a big battle. He was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, and he knelt on the ground timidly, "See, see the generals."

There was an uproar in the tent, no one else, this person was actually a Han Chinese.

The envoy of the Turkucha Department smiled and said, "Han man, tell me what you saw yesterday."

"Yes, yes." The man kneeling on the ground wiped his sweat and said stammeringly, "I, ah no, villain, villain, I live in Shili Village outside the pass by hunting for a living. Yesterday and I went out to hunt as usual, but it snowed heavily halfway, so I had to stay in the woods and wait for the snow to get lighter. Then I saw a man fall from a low cliff. The villain wanted to help, but suddenly jumped out A big wolf didn't go out for a while, but the man killed the wolf..."

"Then, what else did you see?" the messenger asked confidently.

The man cautiously raised his head and glanced at Xie Ci's deep eyes. He immediately lowered his head and said hastily: "The villain saw a group of people rushing over. The leader, the leader is sitting That great general up there!"

The impatient Chen Ergou stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "You idiot, don't talk nonsense! General, let me kill this nonsense person!"

Everyone was furious, and some even drew their weapons. The kneeling man rolled his eyes white in fright, and almost fainted on the soft ground.

Xie Ci raised his hand to press Chaos, and said in a deep voice: "Messenger, how can one person's one-sided statement be used as evidence? Since you said that the Snow Wolf King was killed, where is the body?"

The envoy's eyes were filled with rage, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course the body of the wolf king was destroyed! Your Excellency, our clan has a way of summoning wolves. Last night was our clan's live sacrifice ceremony, but the wolf king It didn't show up! Unexpectedly, the god of our Changshengtian was murdered by the Han people! The Turkucha Department needs an explanation!"

"There is no physical evidence, and the testimony of witnesses cannot be corroborated. Messenger, this is a bit far-fetched?" Ke Ningyu, who had been silently watching, said politely.

The envoy glanced at the weak Han, his eyes flashed with disdain, and said: "Your Excellency, the evidence is clearly in front of you, don't you Han want to use the strong to bully the weak, turn your face and deny it?"

The cold light in Ke Ningyu's eyes gradually turned, but her smile remained unchanged, "Then what do you want to explain, Your Excellency the Messenger?"

"Hand over the person who killed the Snow Wolf King!" The messenger raised his head, "Hand over the murderer, and our Turkucha Department can let the past go."

Xie Ci sneered and said: "Your Excellency, 'Let go of the past' is not used in this way. We don't know who killed the Snow Wolf King, and we don't know whether the Snow Wolf King is dead. We really can't hand over the murderer. .”

"Your Excellency!" the envoy shouted angrily, "You are starting a war!"

There was a clanging sound of weapons in the big tent, and the air was about to explode.

The envoy looked around and said with a sneer, "Why, are you Han people planning to make excuses and destroy the corpse? I remember that you have the rule of 'do not behead to use'!"

"The envoy is calm and don't be impatient," Ke Ningyu said softly, "Ke is a mere scholar. Although he has never met a wolf, he also knows that lone wolves are rare outside the customs. Most wild wolves live in packs, let alone your long-lived snow. The wolf king, he should be the leader of the pack, and his followers are ignorant? But I heard what this hunter said, that the 'murderer' met a wolf? How can this be explained? How do you know what he met? Isn’t it a lone wolf abandoned by the clan?”

The smile on the corner of Ke Ningyu's lips cooled down a little bit, "Or, is it because someone with ulterior motives deliberately attracted the Snow Wolf King in order to cause disputes between the Turkucha Department and our dynasty?"

"You!" The envoy was dumbfounded, and his face, hidden under a big beard, turned red and then turned white, and he remained speechless.

Xie Ci glanced at Ke Ningyu with a smile, and said, "Yes, maybe someone with a heart wants to sow discord, Your Excellency, I have been friendly with the Zunbu for many years, so don't fall for it and let others benefit from it."

The emissary from Turkucha's ministry looked like it was going to smoke.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, and Xie Ci suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. The next moment, he saw a person limping in with the door curtain lifted.

Xie Ci suddenly felt angry and blood surged, and couldn't help grinding his teeth: Why is this brat coming to join in the fun!

Lu Shaoyang followed closely behind, and half-kneeled on the ground to apologize: "This subordinate is incompetent, and failed to fulfill the general's entrustment!"

"What are you doing here!" Xie Ci had a terrible expression on his face.

Pei Zhao was leaning on crutches, his lips were pursed into a line, and he looked around at the people around him, his eyes were full of green.

The messenger looked like a wolf smelling blood, squinting his eyes and looking at the young man maliciously, "Who is this?"

Before Pei Zhao could speak, Orion, who was kneeling on the ground, yelled, "That's the man! He killed the Snow Wolf King!"

Thank you for your bad intentions.

Pei Zhao gave the man a sharp look, raised his head and said without fear, "I killed the wolf. But I don't know it was the wolf king. If I don't kill it, I will be killed by it."

The messenger shouted: "The murderer is here! The murderer is here!"

"Pei Zhao!" Xie Ci suddenly stood up amidst the boiling sky, pointed at him and shouted, "Do you know what you're talking about!"

Pei Zhao's back was straight, and his eyes were extremely firm: "One person does something, and one person does it."

Ke Ningyu, who was the only one who was still sitting still, also stood up with an ugly expression on her face, "My lord, don't act impulsively."

Pei Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent, clenched his fists and stood silently in the center of the storm.

The messenger took a step forward and said, "Your Excellency, the murderer himself has confessed his guilt, please hand him over to us!"

Xie Ci sneered without hesitation, "Dream!"

The messenger shouted: "General Huo, Dingbeihou, are you going to start a war?!"

Wang Gan, the supervisor of the army, quickly said, "Master Huo, act with caution."

"You old thief, where the hell are you from!" Immediately, someone started yelling, and Wang Gan's face darkened.

It was a mess, Xie Ci stared at Pei Zhao condescendingly, gritted his teeth and said, "Regardless of whether he killed your wolf king or not, I will never hand over this person to you."

The messenger's face twisted, and he said fiercely: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll give you three days. If you don't hand over the murderer after three days, General Huo, you Han people, please get ready to meet the wrath of Turkucha!"

The envoy left angrily after speaking.

"Master Huo!" Wang Gan said anxiously, "There are no trivial matters in the military family, why do you need to cause disputes!"

Xie Ci replied coldly: "It's not me who caused the dispute, it was they who started it."

"This may lead to a big battle!" Wang Gan couldn't hold back his anger and raised his voice, "This is not what His Majesty wants to see!"

"Why, according to Lord Wang, you want to trade the life of the British prince in exchange for a safe life?" Xie Ci glared at him coldly.

Wang Gan was at a loss for words for a while.

"Everyone go out, the prince stays." Xie Ci sat down wearily, the hangover headache made him a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

Ke Ningyu was the first to move. With the support of Qingfeng, he walked out with a low cough, and gave Pei Zhao a fair look as he walked past him.

It was this glance that made Pei Zhao, who had been standing still, flinch.

After everyone left, Xie Ci finally let out a long sigh, "Come here."

Pei Zhao didn't move.

Xie Ci looked up at him, suppressed his anger and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"One person does something, and one person does it." Pei Zhao stared down at the ground and answered clearly.

"You're a fart!" Xie Ci almost threw out the tactical map at hand, "Pei Xiaogou, your life is not only yours! Your parents, your grandmother, your relatives, your teacher! And me! You think sacrificing yourself is great, don’t you? Who gave you the confidence!”

Pei Zhao was not moved by Xie Ci's angry scolding at all, and raised his head and said, "They won't give up. If I don't come out, are you looking for a scapegoat?"

Such a long sentence was not easy for Pei Zhao. He spoke slowly for a long time, and sat down when he thanked him for a long time.

Yes, he did think so.

"Uncle," Pei Zhao shook his head, "No, this way."

"You, you..." Xie Ci sighed, propped his head up, and didn't know what to say in front of such a pair of clear eyes.

"We," Pei Zhao said slowly, "don't we want to protect the people? How can we use them to exchange my life?"

"Puppy, I can't hand you over." After a long time, Xie Ci whispered.

Pei Zhao became anxious, with an anxious look on his usually emotionless face, "War..."

"Just fight." Xie Ci took a deep breath and stood up, his eyes burning, and he smiled proudly, "When was the Huo family army afraid of fighting?"

The author has something to say:

The puppy hasn't grown up yet, and it's still a long time before the end of this world... This battle is to draw out a key character, well, it will appear in the next chapter without accident.
