29, with ulterior motives (1)

As soon as he left, the tent changed the previous lifeless atmosphere and became alive again.

Qi Zhai sat up sideways, covered his waist and said, "Sure enough, I can't stand it if I just lie down for a while."

Tabu kicked the "assin" lying on the ground, "How long do you want to pretend?"

The "assin" jumped up in frightened manner and looked at He Rongjin in panic. When a person is in danger, he will become extremely sensitive, especially for a relatively reliable analysis of who is very dangerous and who is relatively reliable.

He Rongjin said in Turkic words: "It's okay."

The "assin" then felt a little relieved.

Tabu asked someone to take him down and said in confusion: "It's right that he is an assassin, but not the assassin tonight. Why did you come to him?" This "assin" is not someone else, and it is the only survivor of the ordinary monks who besieged Que Shu and He Rongjin in the temple before.

Que Shu asked Qi Zhai: "What do you think?"

Qi Zhai said: "Watching Buku's expression is not surprised by the assassin's replacement."

Que Shu said: "It seems that he really doesn't know who the assassin is." They had previously guessed that Buku and the assassin who broke into the camp at night were accomplices, so they rushed to find the wind after the assassin was captured. However, after seeing him, he was not surprised, and seemed to be unaware of it.

Qi Zhai said: "Maybe this Buku is not the one who is Mikayehu."

Que Shu said ambiguously: "Maybe."

Qi Zhai nodded and said, "There is a kind of person in this world who is naturally not good at expressing emotions, and what he wants in his heart is beyond guessing." He said, and his eyes slowly looked at He Rongjin.

He Rongjin drank wine silently.

Buku's hands and feet were very neat. The next day, Que Shu got up and saw that the Turkic guards had surrounded them in the center.

Tabu walked from a distance with a big stride, with an unhappy face, "Is this protection or surveillance?"

Seeing that his eyes were covered with bloodshot and his expression was exhausted, as if he had not been asleep all night, Que Shu asked, "But there is progress?" If there is no progress, Tabu would not have spent the whole night on it.

Ta preached: "Last time after the king returned to the tent last night, I was called by the guards, and the assassin confessed."

Que Shu said: "It's true that he is the one who is Mijia Ye Hu?"

Tabu shook his head unexpectedly and said, "No, he said he was sent by the little Khan?"

Que Shu was stunned, and He Rongjin was pushing out of the wheelchair.

Tabu couldn't help but quit.

Que Shu waved his hand and said, "Did he say why he came to the camp?"

Ta preached: "He said it was for assassination."

"Who will assassinate?"

Tabu said with a strange expression: "He Rongjin."

He Rongjin paused slightly when he took the gourd.

Que Shu frowned and said after a while: "Oh."

Tabu wanted to ask the assassin how to deal with it, but he saw Qi Zhai coming over and said, "Wang, Buku asks when to set off."

Que Shu looked at the sky and said, "Let's go."

Because Qi Zhai was "seriously injured", he had to be supported by Que Shu and Tabu on the carriage. He Rongjin's legs were inconvenient and became one of the only guests in the carriage. Que Shu and Tabu were riding a horse outside.

The wheels turned slowly, Qi Zhai sat up and said with a smile: "General, we haven't calmed down like this for a long time since we chatted like this."

He Rongjin said: "Maybe it will be imagined longer."

Qi Zhai said: "Since you have decided to follow me back to the Western Qiang, aren't you willing to let go of all the past?"

He Rongjin said: "I am not the one I can't let go."

Qi Zhai was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Yes, the person I can't let go is me, the king."

He Rongjin opened the gourd and sniffed it. After all, he was unable to drink the last sip of the gourd.

Qi Zhai said: "It's not easy to quit drinking."

He Rongjin said: "Who wants to quit drinking?"

"Don't the general plan to revive the military?" Qi Zhai said, "The wars in the Western Qiang are frequent, and it is the time when the general is needed."

He Rongjin said: "Why don't you ask, do I need you?"

Qi Zhai said: "If it is not necessary, why should the general go back to the Western Qiang with the king?"

He Rongjin turned to look at him in confusion when he heard this.

Qi Zhai hurriedly said, "I just want to advise the general not to influence the future of the past."

He Rongjin looked at him calmly for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "You are still Qi Zhai."

Qi Zhai was stunned and said, "Of course I am Qi Zhai. Who do the general think I am?"

He Rongjin closed his eyes silently.

Nothing happened all the way.

I don't know if it was Buku who was very careful and did a good job along the way. Que Shu and his group had no other problems since the assassin who broke into the camp at night. I don't know if that Mijia Ye Hu was timid or giving up, and he never saw any other moves.

Seeing the border in sight, He Rongjin's heart moved slightly.

The reason why he promised Que Shu to go on the road was just to let him leave the Turks and return to the Western Qiang as soon as possible, but he never thought about returning to the Western Qiang. Therefore, as he got closer and closer to the Western Qiang, he began to find a chance to leave.

But this matter is very difficult. Not to mention anything else, it is extremely difficult to deal with the old fox Qi Zhai. He Rongjin took the same car with him during the day and slept in the same room with Que Shu at night, and had no chance of being alone.

It seems that only time can be created.

The first thing He Rongjin thought of using was Buku.

Que Shu and Qi Zhai didn't know the background of Buku, but he knew it clearly. This person has always been a hard-core Quezhu party. When Quezhu was still smiling, he got very close to Quezhu. He Rongjin had had several dealings with him. Although he didn't have a deep relationship, he knew that this person was meticulous and calm and loyal to Quezhu. If he asked for help in the name of Quezhu, he would be sure to be sure.

However, since Que Shu was twice assassinated, he has become very cautious about everyone in the Turks. Even though Buku's performance in the camp that night did not show any suspicious signs, he still asked them to beware of it secretly. Therefore, it is not easy to contact Buku. Fortunately, there is no way out, and He Rongjin was worried about how to contact him, so the opportunity came to the door.

The Taer Banner was the last important town from the Turks to the Western Qiang. In order to implement it to the mission, Buku specially set up a banquet.

He Rongjin was originally worried that Qi Zhai would refuse with his caution, but he took the initiative to suggest to Que Shu to attend the banquet.

"I'm afraid this is not an ordinary banquet." Qi Zhai's words aroused Tabu.

Tabu shouted, "Since it's not an ordinary banquet, why do you still have to go?"

Qi Zhai said: "You have heard a saying that it is easy to hide from the open gun, but it is difficult to prevent the hidden arrows."

Ta preached: "I heard it, but what does that matter?"

Qi Zhai said: "Buku holds a banquet and we go to the banquet. This is an open gun. Buku holds a banquet and we don't go to the banquet, and then there will be hidden arrows. Instead of letting them hide in the dark, it is better to go to the banquet openly and see what medicine they sell in this gourd. What do you think?"

Que Shu looked at He Rongjin and replied absent-mindedly: "Something makes sense."

Ta preached: "It will take only a few days to go to the Western Qiang. We only need to send people to the Western Qiang border to inform them, ask them to send troops to welcome them, and speed up their pace, and hurry up. Are we afraid that they will have any hidden arrows and guns?"

Qi Zhai smiled bitterly and said, "You are thinking too simple. What if they intercepted the soldiers we sent out to inform us? Or, they set up an ambush in front and caught us all in one fell swoop?"

Tabu said angrily: "Dare they dare? If the king has a shortcoming, the Western Qiang army will immediately be able to reach the city!"

Qi Zhai said: "Why don't you dare? The envoy on our mission is me, Qi Zhai. Where is the King of Xi Qiang? Who can prove that the King of Xi Qiang is in the mission? Take a step back and say that even if they admit that the King of Xi Qiang is in the mission, why did the King of Xi Qiang secretly go on a mission to the Turks? Could there be something unspeakable? Are you planning any conspiracy to deal with the Turks in secret?"

Tabu was so dizzy that he asked a series of questions, and said for a long time: "Even if you are an envoy, you can't die in the Turks casually."

Qi Zhai sighed and said, "Yes. It's not impossible for the Western Qiang to pursue it, but who will pursue it is another science."

He Rongjin heard his sigh and suddenly remembered the letter. When he thought of the rumored King Min Min who had already died in battle, he was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. Que Shu had no descendants and had not yet made an heir. If Que Shu had a few good and bad luck, who would be the next King of the Western Qiang?

The answer is self-evident.

If King Min Min ascended the throne again as King Xiqiang, would he avenge the King of Huns?

The answer is self-evident.
