Under the sky

Chapter 263

"You just let him go like that?" Tucker roared, "How could you let him go to see Gulthas!" He paced back and forth uneasily, and couldn't help but take two more sips of wine.

"The situation at that time, I couldn't stop him." Gao Leqi said.

"What will he tell Gurthas?" Tucker asked, "Will he betray us and switch to Gurthas camp?"

Shouldn't we have thought of this possibility as early as we started our cooperative adventure?Gao Leqi had a headache.

"What else can we do now?" Tucker asked.

"Nadia, her parents and brothers, and Huck..."

"Who?" Tucker asked.

"Huck, the friend of the Son of God, the storm on the grassland." Gao Leqi repeated.

"He is really a storm, sweeping through my wine cellar, drinking my wine as fast as a fish drinks water!" Tucker said, "These people have nothing to do with Yang Yan, and they are not his wife, parents and brothers!"

He is not even called Yang Yan Shenzi anymore.

"If these cannot threaten the Son of God, then there is no other way." Gao Leqi said.

"You said..." Tucker hesitated for a while and asked, "Now that we have made peace with the Priesthood, will Gulthas forget about it?"

"Tucker..." Gao Leqi raised his voice, "At this time, don't even think about surrendering."

As expected, he is the descendant of a traitor, always ready to change course.

"Gao Leqi, you didn't answer my question. What if Yang Yan betrays you?" Tucker asked, "What should we do?"

"I don't think he will betray, if he is smart enough." Gao Leqi said, "Without Arien Palace, he will only become Gulthas' puppet."

"I don't think Yang Yan is very smart." Tucker was still worried, "Nadia is smarter than him...could it be Nadia who was behind it?"

"I don't think so. This will drag her parents and younger brothers into danger."

Based on the current situation, if Yang Yan betrayed, Tucker could kill Nadia's parents in revenge, because her parents are still Tucker's slaves and property.But Gao Leqi believed that Yang Yan would not betray, at least not so quickly. Maybe Yang Yan was not smart, but he had a determination.

The determination to never be a dog.

Once the Arien Palace collapses, he will lose the ability to deal with it. It would be better to join the Gulthas camp from the beginning, instead of taking the risk of coming to the Arien Palace to seek help.

A guard walked up quickly, bent down and reported respectfully: "Alien, the Son of God is back!"

■

"What are you doing!" Wang Hong was furious.She refrained from roaring, lest the guards outside the house hear her: "Do you know you will kill me and my family!"

Wang Hong not only scolded Balder, but also buried Yang Yan's mother Mira for a long time.At this moment, the family of three was sitting in a corner of the room, watching Wang Hong lose his temper from a distance, not even daring to go up and try to persuade her.

"As long as I come back, you will not be in danger." Yang Yan said, "I have thought about it carefully."

"You are just an idiot, why are you trying to fight for power with others!" Wang Hong scolded, "Do you know I'm scared to death!"

"So I didn't discuss it with you. I didn't think you would agree." Yang Yan spread his hands and asked, "Where is Huck?"

"In the opposite room!" Wang Hong said, "What do you want to do again?"

"I'm having a drink with him. I have a lot of questions to ask him." Yang Yan opened the door and asked the guard at the door, "Go get two jugs of wine, as well as cookies, dried meat, and fruits to go with the wine."

Wang Hong said: "You don't need to drink, Tucker will come to you soon!"

Yang Yan said: "Let's wait until he comes."

A guard walked up quickly and touched his heart with his left hand: "Son of God, Arien asks you to go to his room to talk."

Yang Yan nodded: "I'll be there right away." Then he turned to Wang Hong and asked, "Shall we go together?"

■

There were only four people in the room, Tucker and Gao Leqi, Yang Yan and Wang Hong.When Tucker saw Yang Yan, he almost jumped up: "What did you say to Gulthas?"

"Tell him about the coronation." Faced with Tucker's jump, Yang Yan found a chair and sat down in the most comfortable position. "Only if I go to see him in person will Gulthas agree to meet and tell him about the coronation." matter."

"What did Gulthas say?" Tucker asked.

"I didn't say anything." Yang Yan replied, "I didn't even object."

"He didn't object?" Tucker showed a puzzled expression, and even Gao Leqi fell into deep thought.

"Is there anything else?" Tucker asked pointedly.

"Gulthas has already spread the news of the coming of the Son of God to the other Badu." Yang Yan said, "If the four Badu surrender to me, they will recognize my identity as the Son of God and attend your coronation ceremony."

Gao Le asked curiously: "You want all the four big buses to surrender to you?"

Tucker looked at Gao Leqi: "Do you have any idea?"

Gao Leqi said: "Tak Yarian, I sincerely hope you are not joking. Daxus will chop the Son of God into pieces like wheat grains."

Tucker clicked his tongue and asked again: "He didn't try to win over you?"

"Of course." Yang Yan said, "He said that you are not a good partner. He can achieve any conditions I want."

"What do you want?" Tucker asked again.

"The Vulcan Scroll, and the people who will help me avenge it." Yang Yan replied, "Gulthas said he could give it to me right away, as long as I am willing to stay in the Priest's Court."

"I can do it too!" Tucker jumped up, "As long as you help me overthrow the rule of the Priesthood!"

"But Gulthas doesn't need to be so troublesome. He can overthrow you himself." Yang Yan said, "The Vulcan Oath Scroll is stored in the Priest's Court. He can give it to me at any time."

"Gulthas is willing to give you the Fire God Scroll?" Gao Leqi heard the flaw, "This is unlikely."

Yang Yanwu said stiffly: "Why is it impossible?"

"Gulthas needs you, and he won't let you risk practicing the Vulcan Scroll."

Is practicing the Vulcan Scroll such a dangerous thing?Yang Yan was suspicious.

"Press these first, Yang Yan and Ha Jin, why did you do those things today?" Gao Leqi changed the subject and walked to Yang Yan to ask.

"I need to demonstrate the power of the Son of God even more." Yang Yan said, "The more power Arien Palace admits to me, the greater the pressure will be on the Priesthood." "But why don't you discuss it with us?" Gao Leqi asked again.

"Because you don't believe me." Yang Yan put down his wine glass, stood up and stared at Gao Leqi, "You have never believed me, you want to isolate me, trap me, and limit my power. You can't win Gulthas like this. .”

"Then do you trust me?" Wang Hong said angrily, "You took my brother away without consulting me! Aren't we..."

"Bang!" With a sound, Wang Hong's hair was scattered, blood was coming from the corner of his mouth, and he covered his face and looked at Yang Yan in disbelief.

"Nadia, pay attention to your attitude." Yang Yan said, "I have used up my gratitude to you. Don't be too arrogant. I don't need to discuss anything with you."

"Me and you, not us."

The slap on Wang Hong's face was so hard that Gao Leqi felt pain in his face, and Tucker opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

"I conveyed the matter of the coronation to Gulthas, and also conveyed one thing to Tucker Yarian. I will not betray you, and you should not be suspicious of me." Yang Yan took the wine pot and poured wine for Tucker. , and then raised his glass.

"We have only one path, unity."

"Unite!" Tucker nodded and clinked glasses with Yang Yan, "We must unite, trust each other, and fight Gulthas together!"

Maybe Tucker can be nicknamed Headless Fly Tucker. Sometimes his thoughts are so chaotic that even Gao Leqi can't figure them out. He flies around like a headless fly and stops wherever he flies.Half an hour ago he was suspicious of Yang Yan, but now he planned to share life and death with Yang Yan.

Gao Leqi said respectfully: "I will remove the slave mark of Nadia's family, let them come and go freely, and send people to protect them. But I still recommend that you be careful when entering and exiting. The same goes for the refugee Huck. He must cover it with the official mark under his cheek. Liuyin, this hurts, please be patient."

Yang Yan nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm tired and need to rest."

He and Wang Hong returned to the room together. On the corridor about to separate, Yang Yan whispered: "Come to my room."

"What, do you want me to sleep with you?" Wang Hong said.Yang Yan saw the anger in her eyes, which looked like she wanted to cut him into pieces, and he was speechless for a moment.

Wang Hong had gone back to her room, and Yang Yan quickly followed him. His expression did not change, and he whispered: "I want to establish my authority." Wang Hong just ignored him and entered his parents' room, and Yang Yan followed. But Balder and Huck were also there.

It turned out that the dried melons, fruits, meats and wine that Yang Yan had sent arrived, and the family of three couldn't wait for Yang Yan, so Meng Duque invited Huck over, and by the way, he also got to know this friend of Yang Yan and Ha Jin.The four of them sat down and chatted. Huck was in a good mood, and Monduk was also a bloody man. The three men chatted about Yang Yan, Hajin and Nadia, and seemed to have endless things to say.

Seeing Yang Yan and Wang Hong coming back, Wang Hong had a palm mark on his face, with a look of grievance and anger. Yang Yan followed behind with an embarrassed look on his face. The four of them were surprised and were about to stand up to salute. Yang Yan asked everyone not to be too polite and closed the room. He opened the door, walked forward and said to Wang Hong: "If you are still angry, I will let you punch me."

Wang Hong said coldly: "Ha Jin has a distinguished status, how can a lowly slave dare to hurt you."

"If I don't establish my authority, Gao Leqi will think that you are the one behind my back, and you will be in danger. If this slap continues, Gao Leqi will feel that he cannot rely on you to threaten me." Yang Yan said, "You still have to show off. , let Gao Leqi know who Ha Jin is, otherwise he will want to control me all the time."

Wang Hong said: "Yang Yan is right what Ha Jin said. Does Ha Jin's hand hurt? Can I give you some medicine?"

Yang Yan couldn't bear to hear such sarcastic remarks. When his temper rose, he whispered angrily: "What do you think of me? Tell me in private. You can't always contradict me in front of outsiders. I am Yang Yan Hajin!"

Wang Hong turned her head and said nothing. For some reason, she felt a sense of grievance and had tears in her eyes.Monduk and Mira looked at each other. Balder was unhappy and stepped forward to ask, "You hit my sister?"

Yang Yan said: "It's none of your business, stand down."

Monduk hurriedly pulled Balder away, but Balder didn't give up. He blushed and asked, "What mistake did my sister make that you want to beat her?" He looked like he was about to rush up to argue with Yang Yan.

"Balder, stand down!" Wang Hong wiped the corners of her eyes, "I was arrogant because of favor, and I contradicted the Son of God in front of outsiders. The Son of God taught me a lesson just to establish his authority. It was me who made the mistake!"

Yang Yan reached out to pull Wang Hong's sleeve, but Wang Hong shook it off.Yang Yanxing said: "How do you want me to apologize? I didn't do anything wrong!"

"I understand, I understand everything! But I was slapped for nothing, why shouldn't I be aggrieved? I can't be aggrieved anymore?" Wang Hong has never been a delicate girl. She endured countless hardships inside and outside the country, but she gritted her teeth and endured them. , and for some reason, I felt that this slap was particularly aggrieved.

"You are now capable of taking my brother out to demonstrate and pardon the homeless slaves in public! You can do it. You can also take away the slave marks of my parents! You also go to see Gulthas. You don't need to discuss anything with me. Fight this Why are you negotiating with me? You are so smart, is there any use for me?" Wang Hong originally just wanted to say a few words, but after saying this, it suddenly became like quicksand, and he got out of hand, "You're right, you You and Tucker are the two of you, I am a follower of Yang Yanha Jin, I can be beaten and killed without complaint! Before you slap me like this, couldn't you discuss it with me first? Let me be prepared?"

Yang Yan said: "If we make preparations, it won't look like that."

Wang Hong said: "You can play the role of the Son of God, but I can't slap you in the role."

Yang Yan was about to lose his temper when he caught a glimpse of Meng Duke frowning and making a silencing gesture with his index finger in front of his lips.Yang Yan endured this tone and said: "I will discuss everything with you in the future. We are a team, I am good to everyone, and I don't allow anyone to be bad."

Monduk stepped forward and advised: "The Son of God has already apologized, Nadia, enough is enough."

Wang Hong snorted, calmed down her temper, turned around and asked, "How are you going to deal with the other four Batu Sasi? Especially Dake."

■

Da Ke jumped up: "Nabu actually said that they found the new son of Sa Shen?" She squatted on the seat inelegantly, "What evidence is there?"

Lying on the ground was Nabu Badu's envoy, who said respectfully: "The son of God has the same red eyes as the Holy Yanabhata recorded in the scriptures. He is from the same pass as Sarhajin and has been recognized by Gulthas. ."

"Oh?" The red eyes interested Da Ke, and she looked at the woman standing next to her.That was Mi'er, now the chief consul of Dako. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she still had a honey-like complexion and a slim figure. She was wearing a light blue silk robe embroidered with silver.

She said respectfully: "Mighty Dakosas, since Gursas has extended the invitation, it is up to you to discern the authenticity with your discernment."

Da Ke nodded: "Go back and tell the old man that in October, the Sasi of Atuli Batu will personally verify the authenticity of the Son of God. If it is fake -" Da Ke laughed sharply, "You have to use a broom to collect his Corpse!"

Nabu Batu's envoy respectfully withdrew.

"Do you believe it?" Dak asked Mi'er.

Mi'er shook her head and nodded again: "I believe in the Son of Sa God, but I think the Son of Sa God should come to Atulie Batu. Our faith is the most pious. Nabu Batu... It's hard to guess Gulthas's plan. , but I think Yang Buhuo dares to claim that the son of God Sa has arrived, so he must be sure of it."

After Kaya's death, Dakko took the most heads in the Three-Day War and became the Sasi of the Atulie tribe.She rescued Mi'er, who almost became a burial victim, and adopted her as her personal female officer.Da Ke had used some men as consuls, but none of them were satisfactory to her. After all, in Atulie Batu, wisdom is not as good as a scimitar, but Mi'er who followed Da Ke showed her skill.

She has read books and is smart. She always coordinates all the opinions of Xiaoji, organizes her thoughts, selects a few for Da Ke to read, and puts forward her own opinions.She may not be a good counselor, but she can listen to a wide range of opinions. Dake thinks that the little priest who claims to be from Nabu Batu is right. Mi'er is wise because she does not have the source of men's stupidity.

She became Dako's most trusted person, and Dako promoted her to the position of chief consul. This, of course, aroused opposition from many priests, but after the first head fell to the ground, all the voices disappeared.Da Ke was a little disappointed. She thought there would be more priests who would not hesitate to "die for advice".

As the chief consul of Atuli Batu, Mi'er treated his priests fairly and promoted them.In the beginning, she often made mistakes, which became her experience. She worked hard to learn and learn, and worked hard to make herself excellent. Later, she gradually developed her own opinions.

In addition to farming and grazing, Atuliebadu's main income relies on their unique geographical location.This is the only way for most western barbarians to trade with Sajia. They collect tolls, issue passes, and occasionally extort Suma Batu.Mi'er lowered tolls, increased penalties for smuggling, built trade roads, and negotiated road taxes with Sumabadu every two years depending on the number of merchants, which in turn brought more income to Atulie Batu.She reduces the number of hunts, and when Dak's demands are crazy, she will remind Dak that his current identity is Sasi, and lewdness like Kaya's will definitely lead to a tragic end.She asked that the death row prisoner be sacrificed to Da Ke to make Da Ke happy.

There were many people pursuing Mi'er, including warriors who were good at fighting, wealthy businessmen, and smart little sacrifices, but Mi'er never gave these men a second glance.For Mier, that night, when Dakko inserted the sharp arrow into Kaya's throat, Dakko was her hero, her soul and flesh and blood.All her efforts were for Dake, and she was even willing to go to the ice prison and suffer endless pain for her.

"Where are the other Sasi? Will they go?" Da Ke asked Mi'er what she thought.

"Walter's Charasas will definitely go, he never dares to really disobey Gursas. Nurdin will wait and see, the grassland of Getata will only dance with the wind. Once there are more Saras who decide to set off, He will follow blindly.”

Prairie Sasi is Nurdin's nickname. As the Sasi of Getata Badu, he is famous for changing his mind depending on the direction of the wind. Just like the grassland, whichever way the wind blows, the grass will fall.

"The last one is Alexas, who believes in heresy." Mi'er said, "He dare not not go. If everyone goes and only Sumabadu, who does not believe in Tengus's teachings, is absent, then he is tantamount to announcing that he will not go. I believe in the Son of God, such a statement is too dangerous. In this case, the direction of Nur al-Din will be determined."

Mi'er's inference is not wrong. In October this year, the Sas from the five major Batu will come to Nabu Batu. They want to witness the existence of a son of God or a liar.
