Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers
Chapter 1017 Arrogance
The city gate opened wide, and the Southwest King took two prisoners, Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi, and headed towards the military camp not far away, along with good wine and meat.
When they arrived at the military camp, they were stopped by the guarding soldiers.
"Just wait a moment, our people have already gone to report to the coach."
The Southwest King glanced at the piles of civilian corpses in front of the camp, then at the young men tied to the wooden frame, and his last glance fell on Sikong Qingyun.
He had not eaten or drank for two or three days. He had his head drooped and could not move, wondering if he was still alive.After all, it was his nephew. The Southwest King felt really sorry for him, so he walked over there.
"Qingyun?" He patted Sikong Qingyun on the shoulder.
After calling several times, Sikong Qingyun finally responded and raised his head with difficulty.Seeing the King of Southwest, his eyes immediately showed excitement.
"Second uncle...save me..."
The Southwest King hurriedly took out the water bag and gave it to Sikong Qingyun to drink. Just as he took a sip, a sharp arrow shot over and pierced the water bag.The Southwest King had no time to be shocked, so he quickly stood on his head and let Sikong Qingyun take a few sips before the water leaked out.
"Don't worry, my second uncle will definitely save you."
After saying something in a low voice, the Southwest King turned around and walked over to the military camp. He raised his head and looked at Liang Wang Tuoba Siheng who had his hands on his hips and a proud look on his face.
"Prince Liang, what do you mean?" he asked in a deep voice.
Prince Liang snorted, "It's not interesting, but did I agree to give him water?"
"I have sent Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi here. According to the agreement, Prince Liang should let them go."
King Liang tilted his head and glanced at Yan Mu and Tuoba Siqi, then raised his eyebrows, "Just the two of them?"
"What if not?"
"They were rescued by your daughter."
"What do you mean?"
"Prison robbery is a serious crime. Just because she is the daughter of your Southwest King, can't we just ignore her?"
King Southwest narrowed his eyes, "Ming Yue did make a mistake, I have already taught her a lesson."
"Tie her here and she will be guilty of the same crime as these two."
"impossible!"
"King of Southwest!" King Liang shouted lowly, "I did not ask you whether you agree or not, but ordered you to hand over Sikong Mingyue."
The king of Southwest lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, then raised his hand and saluted King Liang, "King Liang, please be merciful and let my daughter go. I only have this one daughter."
The humble attitude of the Southwest King pleased the Liang King, and he laughed loudly.
"This meat and wine is from our southwest to honor you and these soldiers. We don't want you to hand over the people who killed our people. We only ask that you let go of these tribal princes and let my daughter go. This battle cannot be fought. Once it is fought, , we in the southwest will be devastated, please be merciful."
The king of Southwest bent down to apologize, put down his dignity, and became as humble as an ant.
Listening to these words, Tuoba Siheng was even more proud.
"We Xianbei people have always treated you twelve tribes favorably and allowed you to live in the southwest. But you must understand that this land belongs to us Xianbei people. If we want to take it back, you will have to leave in a hurry."
"But we have lived in this land for generations..."
"You are just bugs in this land, we are the masters!"
"..."
Seeing that the Southwest King lowered his head and did not dare to refute, Tuoba Siheng smiled contemptuously and said: "The imperial court means that you can continue to live here, but you must move to the southwest plateau and return the northern plain to us."
"I, I will go back and discuss with the tribal leaders before I give you an answer." The Southwest King whispered. "This is an order, you can only obey and execute it. Also, if you hand over Sikong Mingyue, I can be extra merciful and let these tribesmen go."
"Yes, thank you King Liang for your kindness."
Tuoba Siheng laughed and asked his men to escort Yan Mu back and take the meat and wine back with them.
"King Southwest, I will give you three days. If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, you should know the consequences."
"Only three days?"
"I don't have much patience."
Seeing the Southwest King hunched over and leaving, Tuoba Siheng cursed: "Coward."
"Your Highness, these meats can be stewed tonight, but this wine?" a soldier asked, taking a sip of water.
Tuoba Siheng lifted a jar, opened the lid and smelled it, the aroma of wine overflowed.He was also a little greedy, but he had some brains and was afraid that the other party would poison it.
He changed his mind and pushed it to the men next to him.
"I will reward you with a few sips."
"You can't drink alcohol in the military camp. This..." The subordinate hesitated.
Tuoba Siheng glared, "I am the one responsible for military discipline, I have the final say!"
The soldier was so greedy that he no longer hesitated. He picked it up and drank several sips, "Your Highness, this is a good wine, mellow and sweet."
Tuoba Siheng stared at the soldier for a while, and then he felt relieved when he saw that he was fine. He snatched the wine jar over and drank a few gulps.
He is addicted to alcohol, how could he resist the temptation.
"It's really a good wine, very enjoyable!"
"Save the wine first?" the soldier asked.
"When the war breaks out, I'm afraid these wines will be wasted." Tuoba Siheng thought for a moment and said, "There will be a banquet tonight. Let's drink and eat meat!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Yan Mu knew that Tuoba Siheng had been fooled.He shook his arm, a dagger fell out of his sleeve, and cut off the rope tied to his wrist.
After flexing his wrist, he untied the rope around his ankle, and then loosened it for Tuoba Siqi.
Tuoba Siqi was very angry and wrote in Yan Mu's hand: "The war is about to begin, and he actually led the entire army to drink!"
Yan Muxiao said, "Firstly, he thought that Southwest did not dare to fight this battle, and the attitude of the Southwest King made him even more convinced. Secondly, he had an army of [-], while the opponent only had [-]. He believed that this battle was doomed from the beginning. If he knew the result, he would definitely win. Because of this mentality, he lowered his vigilance and even treated it as a game."
With that said, Yan Mu came to the camp door and looked out through the gap.Sure enough, the banquet had been laid out, and the soldiers were having a great time drinking and eating meat.
"As for you, you are from Xianbei after all. There is no need to get involved in this. When the fight breaks out, just follow the pattern and escape." Yan Mu said to Tuoba Siqi.
Tuoba Siqi nodded. He was not only from Xianbei, but also from the royal family. He really shouldn't get involved in this battle.
There was no rush at this time, and after waiting for a while, Yan Mu saw that these people were almost drunk, and then sneaked out, first killed the two guards, and then walked towards the door of the military camp under the moonlight.
He needs to rescue the young men of the tribe first so that they will not become hostages.
When walking there, Yan Mu saw the soldiers. The ordinary soldiers could not get more than two sips of wine, so they were all sober. However, the generals had been given more wine and were already confused.
Especially Tuoba Siheng, who was lying drunkenly on the wine table with a large jar of wine in his arms.
He quickly went to the front of the military camp, untied the people tied to the wooden frame one by one, and asked them to discredit and flee to the city.Finally, there was Sikong Qingyun. He had been tied up for the longest time and could not stand at this time. Yan Mu asked two people to carry him away.
After doing this, Yan Mu touched back and lit a tent, and the fire immediately rushed up. (End of chapter)
