Chapter three hundred and thirty fourth meritorious service

The Hun King patted heavily on his knees and said something. A Hun nobleman sitting opposite the guest stood up, walked to the Chu man "Wei Su", stared coldly for a while, slowly pulled out the short knife from his waist, and suddenly waved it, and the blade flew past the Chu man's nose.

King Donghai and others exclaimed in surprise, but Deng Cui, the person involved, glanced at the other party, still staring at Tongzhi and the King of the Huns.

The Huns king laughed and said a few more words. The Huns nobles turned the handle of the knife and handed it to the Chu people. The translation said: "The king said that this prince consort in Chu is stubborn and does not understand the current affairs, so it is useless to keep it. That Yiwei, you say you can't hold a gun or shoot an arrow, and you will always kill people, right?"

Deng Cui took the knife and said, "Will." After saying that, he came to Zhuo Ruhe, "Your Majesty Zhuo, you are willing to die for the emperor, I don't want to. When I first chose the emperor, the capital was fighting lively, but I had never asked for my opinion. Now I want me to be loyal. I have watched the emperors in the palace go back and forth, one is worse than the other, and one is more troublesome. Wei Su and Yiwei are not clean up the mess for them."

"Hey, you can be disloyal to the emperor, but you cannot be disloyal to the Great Chu. If you surrender to a foreign race, you will not be afraid of being ruined and being despised?" Before Zhuo Ruhe finished speaking, he spat at Deng Cui.

Deng Cui looked down at the saliva on his chest, and without saying anything, he waved his knife and chopped Zhuo Ruhe's neck.

Zhuo Ruhe did not hide or avoid, but instead raised his head and his chest, his head tilted slightly, revealing his neck more, and his eyes widened, making him more courageous than those who hold the knife.

Deng Cui's knife slashed hard, but did not hit it. It was not that he deliberately avoided it, but that another knife blocked it.

Several Hun soldiers were standing beside Zhuo Ruhe. One of them drew his sword at the last moment and opened the Chu people's sword. He was half a head shorter than Deng Cui, but he was much stronger. Not only did Deng Cui's sword bounce off, but he also took a step back. He couldn't help but be furious and stared at the Hun people with anger.

The Hun soldiers put away their swords, snorted disdainfully, and nodded to the Hun King. Although the swordsman of this Chu man was indeed average, he used all his strength to really kill people.

Everyone around them also saw that when the two swords collided, sparks flew everywhere, which was a real confrontation.

The Chu people such as Donghai King, Hua Bin and others were stunned. Even the leader of Dongzhai, who was born as a bandit, looked at "Wei Su" again, surprised that there were such a ruthless character among the emperor's Yiwei.

Deng Cui was very dissatisfied, but even more dissatisfied was Zhuo Ruhe, who directly faced the Huns king, "Shameless and ugly captives, kill them if they want to kill them, and cut them if they want to cut them. I am the imperial envoy of the Great Chu..."

Several Hun soldiers dragged Zhuo Ruhe out, and he could still hear his yelling through the tent.

Deng Cui turned around and asked, "Why don't you let me kill him?"

Tongzhi laughed and said, "This man is a high-ranking official of the Chu State. The Great Shanyu appointed him to live, so he cannot be killed."

Deng Cui shook the knife in his hand, "What's the point of giving me this thing?"

"Try your courage." The general translation said indifferently, "Can a person like you stay with the emperor as a guard?"

"Yiwei only looks at his figure, appearance and background. As for courage, hey, people like me follow the emperor every day, less than a hundred steps apart, but they never have the chance to show their courage in front of the emperor in their entire life."

Tongzhi talked with the Hun King for a while and said to the Chu people: "What's your name?"

"Wei Su."

"Okay, you can show your courage in the Huns at will. Apart from surrender, what can you do for the king?"

"It's a pity that this good knife has not been stained with blood after being unsheathed. Who do the king wants to kill? Leave it to me." Deng Cui turned his head and looked at the many people sitting together.

The Chu people were shocked. Deng Cui was already three-point reckless, and he became more like a little indulgent. Everyone didn't know him very well and thought he really wanted to kill someone, especially King Donghai. He immediately thought that Deng Cui was going to take the opportunity to silence him, and his face turned pale.

If it weren't for someone who knew Deng Cui, no one would have seen that he would be the general of the chariot and cavalry of the Great Chu.

"Haha, these people are all the king's guests and cannot be killed." Tong Zhi smiled.

"You have to kill a few. There are no assassins hidden among the surrenders. Have you asked these people about their details?"

Tongzhi nodded with a smile.

At this moment, King Donghai showed his urgency and suddenly understood why Deng Cui always wanted to kill people. He whispered: "The Chu people here are either soldiers or heroes. They followed the times and then went out of the city to surrender. But I knew there were several Chu slaves in the camp, and those kind of people were fence-bearers who fell down and had no credit..."

Tong Yi frowned slightly, "Aren't you just taken out by those slaves?"

"The slaves can only be used temporarily and not stay for a long time. I didn't know that there were others in the city who were willing to surrender to the king, otherwise, I would never be with the slaves."

Tongyi curled his lips and said a few words to the king, "You guys are too cunning and don't trust them. They said they were taking the emperor's head, but they had to use a few slaves to make up for the numbers. No, the king was not satisfied. You ate meat and drank wine, so you have to show some real skills."

King Donghai has no other ability and dares not say anything.

Hua Bin sighed and pretended to be embarrassed, "The king is right. Since he promised to take the emperor's head, he cannot speak without trust. I am willing to go back to Jincheng without the emperor's head. Our father and son are willing to die in the city."

"Your emperor is seriously ill and may die at any time, so you have to hurry up." Tongzhi said.

"Three days, at most three days." Hua Bin stretched out three fingers.

Gui Yuehua was a little hesitant, but seeing that the Huns king did not raise idle people, it seemed that this place was more dangerous than in the city. He hurriedly said: "I will go back to the city, and I must get the emperor's head."

"I will bring a few brothers and two of you into the city." The leader of the village Dong was eager to make contributions and joined in.

The general translation looks at "Wei Su".

"As soon as the sky is dawn, Yiwei Camp will find that we are running away, and we can't go back to the city." Deng Cui pointed at his four entourages and thought for a while, "Although Yiwei has no other skills, he often escorted imperial edicts. If the king wants to kill any general of Chu or seize which city, let the five of us be the inner supporters."

The general translator told everyone's answers to the Huns, and the king pointed at the only Chu people who did not express their opinions.

The King of East China was panicked and was frightened by the Huns' fingers. He almost flipped the wine in his glass, "The Chu army of Qi was commanded by Cui Hong and Chai Yue. I am the Chai family. I can persuade Chai Yue to surrender..."

After the general translation said, the King of the Huns nodded with satisfaction and ordered a nobleman to get up and walk outside the tent. The King of Donghai and others were worried, not knowing what the king intended. Only Deng Cui was unmoved, holding a knife in his hand and looking at the Hun who handed him, without any intention of returning it.

Not long after, the Xiongnu nobles who had left the tent came back and brought five Chu people.

Deng Cui turned around and met the five people. One of them was his maid, and the other four were from the Dai Palace. They had already escaped, and the other two left the city with the maid yesterday.

The five people knew that they were not qualified to see the Hun King, and they were already frightened when they were called in. When they suddenly saw Deng Cui, they were even more incomprehensible and had no idea what was going on.

Deng Cui would not let them understand, so he strode forward, took a knife and killed his maid first. The other four knelt down and wanted to ask for forgiveness, but they were so scared that they could not speak.

The Huns raised his arm and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't expect that Chu Guoyiwei was so anxious and killed him as soon as he said that he had nothing to say, so he could only noddle at Tongzhi.

"When the city was broken, all the people of Chu were slaves. We did not need their surrender. You are soldiers, who were more valuable than the people. However, after surrendering to the Huns, you must also make great contributions to get rewards. This is a general rule, regardless of whether the Chu or the Huns."

The four servants kneeling at the door vaguely understood that their lives were not long, and one of them said to Deng Cui: "Deng..."

"What are you waiting for?" Deng Cui shouted, and he raised his sword and killed another person. With a glance, the remaining three people were already limp on the ground.

The Huns pointed at "Wei Su" and said a few words to the concubine and the nobles. Everyone laughed. I don't know what it meant, and the general translation did not explain. They looked at King Donghai and others, "Yiwei have this courage, you can't just watch."

Hua Bin was the first to get up, walked to Deng Cui, took the knife, stabbed a servant in the chest, deliberately not killing it, leaving it to the person behind.

Gui Yuehua, Dong Village Master and others were all robbers, and they were used to this kind of thing. They came forward one by one and slashed the knife. Deng Cui's four followers were no exception. When it was the turn of King Donghai, there were only five bloody corpses left on the ground. He stabbed him symbolically and immediately returned the knife to Deng Cui, forcibly holding it back, so he did not vomit.

The felt blanket was stained with blood, and the Huns king didn't care. He treated the killing as a dish of wine, raised his glass and shouted, and drank it all, and the people of Chu returned to their seats and raised their glasses to respond.

Deng Cui personally wiped the knife clean and sent it to the original owner. The Huns took it into his hand and seemed a little disgusted. He put the knife aside and did not put it in the sheath.

The banquet lasted until night, and the five corpses were placed for a long time. A concubine couldn't stand it. She asked the Hun King, and then some soldiers came in to move the corpse away, but the blood was left there.

The Huns all admired the Yiwei of Chu State very much. "Wei Su" became the protagonist of the Chu people, and Hua Bin and others became foils.

Deng Cui spoke nonsense. He had never been a Yiwei, but he talked about Yiwei's distress and dissatisfaction very well.

After the banquet, the Huns and Chu people walked out staggeringly, showing full intoxication no matter what.

Outside the tent, Deng Cui hugged King Donghai's shoulder and said vaguely: "In the past, you were the nobles of the Chai family, and I was an ordinary Yiwei. Now we are all the same. We all have to rely on our abilities. Let's see if you dare to underestimate me?"

"I haven't underestimated you." King Donghai whispered, and his steps became even more staggering when he was suppressed by Deng Cui.

Taking advantage of the noise from left and right, Deng Cui whispered: "Can you fight?"

The face of Donghai King changed suddenly, and he knew very well that Deng Cui was talking about the emperor. In Deng Cui's eyes, Donghai King, who was panicked in the face of trouble, could not be compared with the calm emperor in the city.

"I, I didn't want to fight..."

Deng Cui patted Donghai on the shoulder, "Really?" (To be continued.)
