C18 He Was in High Spirits Cutting off One's Head at a Time
"My humble subject Xianyu Fu (Little Yan Rou) greets the King! Great King An Kangxiang! " When Xianyu Fu and Yan Rou arrived seven or eight steps in front of Qiu Liju's large standard, they jumped off their horses and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Warriors, please rise." Qiu Liju had a big smile on his face. He reached out his hand to support them and ordered, "Tan Mucong, quickly go and help the two warriors up."
"I dare not trouble Lord Tan Mucong." Xianyu Fu and Yan Rou rose quickly.
Qiu Liju waved his hand and smiled. "Come, come, come closer. Let This King have a good look."
Xianyu Fu looked at Yan Rou and found that she was as excited as him. He took a deep breath and walked forward while suppressing his excitement.
Yan Rou took a step back and followed with her head lowered.
Qiu Liju took a torch, looked at Xianyu Fu carefully, and praised softly: "Good! Great! "Your complexion looks quite good, Xianyu Fu ah, you are still the same, but a bit whiter, it seems that your life on the Han side is quite good."
"Great King!" Xianyu Fu quickly kneeled down and said with his head lowered, "Although this humble one is in the Han Dynasty, I am always thinking about the King's great deeds. Please review, Great Wang Ming!"
Qiu Liju slapped his forehead and said, "Aiya, I was just casually saying it. I don't have any other deeper meaning! Hurry and get up! " As he spoke, he jumped off the horse and personally helped Xianyu Fu up.
Qiu Liju was very skillful with each move. No wonder he was able to become the strongest tribe leader of Wu Huan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xianyu Fu stood up and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, Xianyu Fu was just a Chieftain member. This status was too low for Qiu Liju. It was about the same as a Battalion Commander meeting a powerful commander in the future. How could he not be nervous?
Qiu Liju then looked at Yan Rou and sighed, "General Yan Rou, I have been to the shallow plains in the past, but I didn't realize that you are an exceptional genius. This King has done this before!"
Yan Rou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are flattering me. I have come in a hurry this time. Your Majesty, please accept me!"
"Haha, what do you mean 'do you want me to accept you or not'? Since General Yan has come, how could I treat you unfairly? Let's do it this way. The general will choose twenty thousand people to serve as his subordinates from among the people he has brought. I hope that the general can train them properly and will not disappoint me. "
Yan Rou was overjoyed. She knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, my king! This lowly general is willing to go through fire and water for the King, and will not refuse! "
Xianyu Fu looked at Yan Rou with jealousy.
Qiu Liju seemed to be able to guess Xianyu Fu's thoughts. After helping Yan Rou up, he immediately said to him, "Xianyu Fu, when we return to Liucheng, I will appoint you as captain in public and usually assist me in handling important military matters. Are you willing?"
Xianyu Fu was ecstatic. He quickly kneeled down and said loyally, "Thank you for your consideration, my lord. I will definitely work hard for your cause!"
"Get up." Qiu Liju helped Xianyu Fu up, turned around and mounted his horse. He ordered, "The two of you, ride with me. Stay behind me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them turned around and went back to lead their horses.
"What time is it?" Qiu Liju asked Tan Mucong.
"Great King, it's about time."
"Is it time?" Qiu Liju was slightly surprised. He frowned and said, "Tell our sons to prepare themselves and return to the Liucheng immediately after the two sides reunite. We don't want our whereabouts to be exposed after dawn."
"Here!"
As Tan Mucong went to deliver the order, Qiu Liju looked at the approaching torchlight and felt a surge of pride. "Soon, I shall be the king of all the Ushers! In ten years, I will definitely become a peerless hero like King Tanshihuai! If Tan Shihuai is unable to get the horse to come to the Yellow River, I will definitely make up for this regret of the Xianbei People! '
When the long torchlight was a hundred steps away, Qiu Liju ordered, "Xianyu Fu, make them stop their advance. Have Wei Dun, Wang Wei, and Yang Hong come to see this king."
Xianyu Fu's horse went up and shouted, "All of you, stop! "General Wei Dun, Wang Wei Academy Officer, Yang Hong Academy Officer, and Wang Lie, the three of them, step forward to pay their respects."
There was a slight disturbance in the line, then it slowly stopped.
Wei Dun said a few words to the people beside him. After waiting for Wang Wei and Yang Hong to catch up, the three of them rode their horses over slowly.
"Congratulations to the three of you." Xianyu Fu cupped his hands and congratulated them from a distance. He smiled and said, "The three of you were received by the King as soon as you arrived. Your glory and glory are just around the corner."
Wei Dun cupped his hands together in thanks, "Thank you, Sir, for your auspicious words. I hope that you can speak a few words of praise for me in front of the King."
Wang Wei and Yang Hong quickly lowered their heads. Their eyes were filled with a strange smile.
"Definitely! "Please!"
"Stop!" When they were ten steps away, Tan Mucong stepped forward to stop them.
Xianyu Fu ran back to the highest level and whispered to Yan Rou, "Wei Dun and the other two are only ten steps away from the King, but we can stand behind the King. How deep is your trust?"
Yan Rou also whispered, "The King is deeply indebted to me. This general knows what to do."
Qiu Liju's hearing was quite sharp. After hearing what the two people behind him said, he couldn't help but let out a proud smile.
"We pay our respects to the King! If you can't get a full gift with your armor on, please don't blame the King. " The three people of Wei Dun's group cupped their hands on their horses at the same time and didn't jump down from their horses to pay their respects.
"No need for formalities, the three of you!" Qiu Liju suppressed the displeasure in his heart. He reached out his hand to support his son as he smiled and said, "This king has appointed General Wei Dun as captain and Wang Wei and Yang Hong as his deputy. Are the three of you satisfied?"
Before Wei Dun and the other two could answer, a person in the crowd behind them suddenly shouted, "Not satisfied!"
Qiu Liju was stunned and was momentarily unable to react. Did This King hear wrongly?
Tan Mucong shouted angrily, "Who is the one babbling nonsense? Come out!"
Xianyu Fu was surprised, why did this voice sound so familiar?
A man and a horse came out of the crowd, slowly approaching Qiu Liju.
The person was dressed in black steel armour. A long spear was on his right horse, a small round shield was on his left and a black bow was on his back. Under the bright torchlight, his tanned skin and sharp eyebrows flew up into the air. There was a faint smile on his face. Surprisingly, it was the Junior Marquis of the Wu Steel Manor, Gongsun Xu!
When Xianyu Fu saw Gongsun Xu, he nearly tripped and fell off his horse. Didn't this man escape Changli County long ago? Why did he suddenly appear here, and why did he seem so fearless?! There was a conspiracy! There was definitely a conspiracy! But where was the conspiracy? Xianyu Fu's mind was in a mess, and he could only feel a sense of loss before his eyes.
Seeing that there was only one person coming over, Qiu Liju asked lightly, "Who is this?"
Yan Rou answered, "Reporting to the King, this person is Gongsun Xu's son."
"What!?" Qiu Liju was shocked, "How is that possible? Didn't Tan Mucong say that the vertical ran away in panic? Why did he appear here? "Tan Mucong!"
"Here!" "Ah, Great King, I am not lying. When Gongsun Xu escaped from Changli, many people saw it with their own eyes!"
Qiu Liju frowned and waved his hand: "Forget it, just one person, how can I be afraid? "Ask him the purpose of his visit!"
Without waiting for Tan Mucong to speak, Yan Rou shouted loudly, "Gongsun kid, what are you doing here? Do you want to die because you're tired of living? "
Gongsun Xu spat, "Pui! How could a disciple who carried the master have the face to live in this world?! "If I kill Qiu Liju, I will settle the score with you!"
"Gongsun kid, you've gotten hysteria, right?" Su Puyan, who had been silent all this time, spurred his horse forward and jeered loudly, "You want to assassinate the King in the middle of tens of thousands of soldiers? Do you really think that you are possessed by a ghost?"
Gongsun Xu was not angry and shouted: "Who are you? Looking at your majestic appearance, you must not be an ordinary person, right? "
Su Puyan proudly shouted, "Child, listen carefully, I am King Wuhuan, Su Puyan!"
"Karu King? "Su Puyan?" Gongsun Xu muttered and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I've never heard of it!"
"Brat, you're courting death!" Su Puyan was so angry that he grabbed the mace on the horse and was about to charge forward.
"Enough!" Qiu Liju shouted and reprimanded, "Gongsun Xu has been stalling for time, he might have reinforcements coming! Quickly capture and kill this man, we cannot delay any longer! "
"This King will personally take his life!" Su Puyan couldn't hold it in anymore, he raised his reins and was about to charge forward.
"Haha …" Gongsun Xu suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing, he pointed at Qiu Liju and yelled, "Qiu Liju, I'm still not afraid even though I'm surrounded by tens of thousands of people. You're a dignified King Wu Huan, but you don't even dare to listen to me.
Qiu Liju said faintly, "What's the use of trying to be eloquent?"
Su Puyan, however, reined in the reins and shouted angrily, "You yellow prick, this king vows to cut you alive! If you say that you are going to hurry up and say that This King isn't afraid, then why would King Qiu Liju be? "
"Good!" "Truly generous!" Gongsun Xu raised his thumb and sneered, "You don't believe that I can kill Qiu Liju? Do you dare to say three words, 'Who dares to kill King Wuhuan'? If I can't kill Qiu Liju after three strikes, I will be willing to surrender quickly! "
Tan Mucong quickly grabbed a shield and stepped forward to block Qiu Liju.
Su Puyan laughed crazily, "Don't even mention three times, even if it was thirty times, or even if it was three hundred times, how could you hurt a single hair on the King? "Son, listen carefully. 'Who dares to kill King Wuhuan?'" After he shouted, he looked left and right. The crowd was completely silent, and his laughter became even more arrogant.
Qiu Liju frowned. He originally wanted to stop Su Puyan's unnecessary actions, but when he saw this scene, he swallowed the words coming out of his mouth, thinking that Gongsun kid must be bluffing, it would be beneficial for Su Puyan to show off his might. In the future, the Han people who came to intimidate them would still need to rely on Su Puyan's ruthlessness and brutality!
"Who dares to kill King Wuhuan?" It was still quiet. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss.
"Hahahaha! This King is going to die from laughter!" Su Puyan held his stomach and laughed. After a while, he straightened his back and shouted for the third time, "Who dares to kill King Wu Huan?"
At this moment, Xianyu Fu suddenly woke up from his stupor and jumped towards Qiu Liju. He shouted, "King, quickly dodge!"
"I dare to kill King Wuhuan!" At the same time, a person shouted out loudly and a fierce blade light flashed down!
This blade first cut off Xianyu Fu's left arm, then it continued to fall heavily, and with a "pfft" sound, it landed on Qiu Liju's neck!
A large head flew a few meters away before landing on the ground and rolling around. At the place where the corpse had been cut open, a bowl-sized stream of hot blood gushed out of the wound, completely permeating the black horse beneath him. The horse was frightened and rushed forward. The headless body shook a few times and then fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, one of its legs was tightly bound by the reins and dragged along the ground, leaving behind a large amount of blood.
Other than the few people who knew what was going on, the Chinese people and the Xianbei People all stared dumbly at the galloping horse and the headless corpse. They felt that everything that had happened before them was not real!
King Wu Huan, Qiu Liju, who was previously so powerful that he could swallow thousands of miles, had actually died just like that?
