Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 725 Gaochang Mutiny

Facing Qu Wentai who was already burning with anger, Qu Wenhe was not lacking in complacency at the moment, but he was not yet complacent and lost his mind, but turned his eyes to Su Lie.

Noticing Qu Wenhe's gaze, Su Lie smiled faintly, "It seems that you haven't forgotten me."

"General Su is a great general of the upper kingdom, how dare I forget it." Qu Wen said in congratulations, "Today's matter is my Gaochang's internal affairs, so I ask General Su not to interfere. In the future, no matter who is the new king of Gaochang, he will submit to you Don."

Su Lie looked at Diezhi, "What about you?"

Diezhi grinned and said: "I know a thing or two about Su Gong's reputation. I have no intention of being an enemy of Su Gong. I will meet you in life and death. Besides, I was entrusted by others to come here to make trouble, so I will not fight with Su Gong." Public embarrassment."

Qu Wentai took Su Lie's arm and begged, "General Su, don't abandon me. You promised His Majesty the Emperor to protect me. As long as I can survive the disaster this time, General Su will be my hero in Gaochang. The king entrusts him with the country's trust."

"Shut up!" Qu Wenhe scolded: "Qu Wentai, you are the lord of the country, how can you be so low-key, lose the face of Gao Chang, and shame the previous kings!"

"This rebellious minister and traitor, what face do you have to bark when you offend your superiors!" Qu Wentai scolded back.

At this moment, the Gaochang courtiers could see clearly that although the situation was tilted towards Qu Wenhe, as long as Su Lie didn't make a statement, he would not be considered an advantage.Therefore, everyone subconsciously looked at Su Lie, waiting for his answer.

What responded to them was Su Lie's resonant trumpet!

As the loud and clear long sound pierced the sky, Tang Qi heard the news from afar, and his war horse galloped like a roar, and quickly approached this place.

Qu Wenhe looked at Su Lie with gloomy eyes, and said in a deep voice, "General Su, do you really want to meddle in my internal affairs in Gaochang?"

Su Lie put away the small horn and said: "This general, under the order of His Majesty the Emperor, led his troops to station here to protect King Gaochang Zhouquan. If my lord is dead, I will protect King Gaochang every day." worry."

"How courageous!" Qu Wenhe was furious, and immediately looked at Diezhi, "Kill this beast quickly, and I will bear the consequences!"

Killing one is still killing, killing two is still killing, anyway, he has decided to offend the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't care about killing a Tang general.

Die Zhi frowned slightly, looked at Su Lie and said, "Why must Mr. Su be like this, isn't it good for you and me to sit back and enjoy the wealth?"

"I've already become rich and powerful, how could you understand that." Su Lie laughed loudly, "If you want to do it, you'd better hurry up, otherwise I'll be fine and I'll be dead in no time!"

"Arrogance!" Die Zhi snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to give an order immediately.

He has always been afraid of Tang Qi.

At less than one level, it is impossible to understand the powerful terror of the Tang Dynasty.Qu Wenhe may not understand, but he cannot understand.

If Su Lie is killed here, it is tantamount to offending the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Emperor is held accountable, the people behind him are likely to throw him out to accept the crime.

"Do it!" Qu Wenhe urged.

He also knew a thing or two about Tang Qi's power, and he didn't dare to underestimate it.

Diezhi ignored Qu Wentai, but asked Su Lie, "Is General Su really going to save Qu Wentai today?"

"good."

After thinking for a moment, Die Zhi said: "Today, I will sell General Su to save face."

Su Lie remained calm, not frightened by the pressure of the army, not to mention delighted by the overwhelmed troops.

"You are a smart person. In this world, only smart people can live long."

"Accept your good words." Diezhi looked at the stunned Qu Wenhe, "When you invited me to start an incident, you never told me that General Su would get involved in this matter. You and I void the agreement and leave."

After saying that, Die Zhi turned his horse's head and left with his soldiers and horses, leaving Qu Wenhe in a mess in the wind.

He actually just left?
Diezhi just regards this incident as a robbery. If it succeeds, it is gratifying, but if it fails, then it doesn't matter.But if the price of success is to offend Tang Chao, then he will not take the risk.

After Diezhi left, Tang Qi arrived.

Qu Wenhe, who was isolated and helpless, was quickly captured and tied up in a prison car.

"Traitor, you are the royal family, why did you harm me!" Qu Wentai asked Qu Wenhe who was in the prison car with the look of the rest of his life.

Zhang Xiong, who returned from the battle, stood beside Qu Wentai, looking at the prisoner Qu Wenhe with complicated eyes.

"I didn't harm you, it was you who harmed Gaochang." Qu Wenhe pointed to Su Lie, who was calm and calm, and said, "Qu Wentai, if you continue to rely on the Tang Dynasty, one day the Emperor of Tang will issue an order, Gaochang will be destroyed by Su Lie, just like what happened to Yiwu. Everything I do is for Gaochang, for the painstaking efforts of the previous kings."

"Fart!" Qu Wentai scolded, "I treat the Great Tang as my father, why would he harm me, you are a wolf with ambition, you don't know how to repent when you die, you really deserve to be killed!"

"I don't regret dying, but I have a request."

"what?"

"After I die, please take my eyes and place them on the royal city. In the future, I will watch the Tang army enter the city with my own eyes!"

"Bastard!" Qu Wentai was furious, "Speaking wild words, I don't know how to live or die!"

Su Lie was secretly amused, this Qu Wenhe was imitating Wu Yuan.

Qu Wenhe also knew that his rebellion failed and he had no way out, so he uttered all the "heartfelt words" that he had kept in his heart and never said.Among them, most of the time is about the threat of the Tang Dynasty to Gaochang.

Su Lie was beside him, not feeling embarrassed at all, but listening with relish.In his opinion, although Qu Wenhe is stupid, he also has merits.

The rebellion failed, and Qu Wentai finally decided to execute Qu Wenhe and his family.He also rewarded Su Lie with gold and silver, and even promised him a general position.However, Su Lie refused one by one, and only asked Qu Wentai to give some wine and meat to reward the Tang cavalry soldiers.

"I am a minister of Your Majesty, no matter where I am, it is the same. How can I be sealed by the king of another country?"

Under the night, beside the bonfire, Su Lie drank to express his thoughts.

Zhang Xiong nodded, and said with emotion: "If you can make Su Gong so loyal, if you can go to Chang'an in the future, you will definitely pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Hahaha." Su Lie laughed loudly and said, "You will have a chance."

The soldiers could drink and eat as much as they wanted, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Zhang Xiong sighed: "After this incident, Your Majesty has been frightened. He has not recovered from illness for a few days, and people in the country are also in a panic."

Su Lie drank and didn't say much.In his opinion, Gaochang's internal affairs are not important, what matters is whether Gaochang obeys the court.

This is an important transit town on commercial roads in the Western Regions, and there is no room for loss.Anyone who stands in the way will be killed.

"At this time, you must protect Gaochang's stability." Su Lie said: "You are valued by the king of Gaochang, so you must repay him. Qu Wenhe's rebellion broke the heart of the king of Gaochang. You have the responsibility to reorganize Gaochang's internal affairs , to protect the environment and the people.”

Zhang Xiong was slightly startled, and immediately said: "I am also a martial artist, internal affairs are not my expertise."

"If you don't learn, how can you know what you are good at?" Su Lie said, "If you do nothing, what will the people of Gaochang rely on?"

Sometimes, Su Lie also finds it quite funny. Such a small country with a city is self-righteous. If it is in the Tang Dynasty, it is far behind the prefectures and counties. It is like the difference between clouds and mud. What is so difficult about a small city-state? The principle of governance?
The root of it is that the mediocre people have no valleys in their stomachs, and all their thoughts are the wisdom of Yelang.

"What General Su said is true." Zhang Xiong clasped his fists and said, "I hope that General Su can help me save Gaochang in the future."

"Don't worry, I came here by the emperor's order. Without His Majesty's order, no one can do anything to Gao Chang." Su Lie replied.

"Thank you!"

"There is no need to say thanks between you and me." Su Lie smiled, and pulled him to drink and eat meat.

The atmosphere gradually rose, and everyone was happy.
