Chapter 335
The Great Xiongnu patted heavily on his knees and said a few words. A noble Xiongnu sitting across from the guests got up and walked to "Wei Su" from Chu, stared coldly for a while, and slowly pulled out his waist. The short knife in between suddenly swung up, and the blade swept past the tip of Chu's nose.
Donghai King and the others let out a sigh in surprise, but Deng Cui, the party involved, kept his head down and glanced at each other, still staring at the translator and the great king of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu king laughed and said a few more words. The Xiongnu nobles turned the hilt of the sword and handed it to the Chu people. You said that you can’t hold a gun or shoot an arrow, so you can always kill people, right?”
Deng Cui took the knife, "Yes." After speaking, he took two steps to Zhuo Ruhe, "Zhuo Consort, you are willing to die for the emperor, but I don't want to. When the emperor was elected, the capital was lively and lively, but I didn't ask for my opinion, and it's too late to want me to be loyal now. I watched the emperors in the palace change with my own eyes. Clean up the mess for them."
"Hey, you can be disloyal to the emperor, but you can't be disloyal to Chu. If you surrender to an alien, you are not afraid of losing your reputation and being spurned by others?" Zhuo Ruhe spat at Deng Cui before he finished speaking.
Deng Cui looked down at the saliva on his chest, and without a word, he slashed at Zhuo Ruhe's neck with a knife.
Zhuo Ruhe did not hide, but held his head high and tilted his head slightly to expose more of his neck. His eyes were wide open, showing more courage than the person holding the knife.
Deng Cui's knife slashed fiercely, but it didn't hit. It wasn't that he avoided it intentionally, but another knife blocked it.
Several Xiongnu soldiers have been standing beside Zhuo Ruhe. One of them pulled out his sword at the last moment, and he was half a head shorter than Deng Cui, but his strength was much stronger. When it bounced off, the man also took a half step back. He couldn't help but get furious, staring at the Huns angrily.
The Xiongnu soldier put away the sword, snorted disdainfully, and then nodded to the king of the Xiongnu. Although this Chu man's swordsmanship was indeed average, he used all his strength and really wanted to kill.
The people around can also see that when the two knives collided just now, sparks were scattered, and it was a real confrontation.
Donghai King, Hua Bin and other Chu people were stunned, and even the bandit-born Dong Zhaizhu looked at "Wei Su" again, surprised that there was such a ruthless role among the emperor's guards.
Deng Cui was very dissatisfied, and even more dissatisfied was Zhuo Ruhe, who directly faced the Huns, "Shameless and ugly captives, if you want to kill them, you can kill them.
Several Xiongnu soldiers dragged Zhuo Ruhe out, and his scolding could still be heard through the tent.
Deng Cui turned around and asked, "Why don't you let me kill him?"
The interpreter smiled and said, "This person is a high official of the Chu State, and Da Chanyu has named him to live, so he cannot kill him."
Deng Cui shook the knife in his hand, "What's the point of giving me this?"
"Try your guts." The interpreter said indifferently, "Can someone like you stay by the emperor's side as a ceremonial guard?"
"Yiwei only looks at his body, appearance and background. As for courage, hey, someone like me follows the emperor every day, less than a hundred steps away, but he never has the chance to show his courage in front of the emperor in his life."
The translator talked with the great Xiongnu for a while, and said to the people of Chu, "What's your name?"
"Wei Su."
"Okay, in the Xiongnu army, you can show your courage at will. Besides surrendering, what can you do for the king?"
"It's a pity that this good knife has not been stained with blood after it is unsheathed. Who does the king want to kill? Leave it to me." Deng Cui turned to look at the many Chu people sitting together.
The people of Chu were all taken aback. Deng Cui was already three-point reckless, but when he indulged himself, he became more like him. Everyone didn't know much about him and thought that he really wanted to kill people, especially the King of the East Sea. They immediately thought that Deng Cui wanted to Taking the opportunity to silence, his face turned pale with fright.
If it wasn't for someone who knew Deng Cui, no one would have seen that he would be the chariot general of the Great Chu.
"Haha, these people are the King's VIPs and cannot be killed." Tong Yi laughed.
"I have to kill a few. There are assassins hidden among the surrenderers. Have you found out the details of these people?"
The translator smiled and nodded.
At this moment, the King of the East Sea showed his quick wit, suddenly understood why Deng Cui always wanted to kill people, and whispered: "The Chu people here are either soldiers or heroes. Servant, that kind of person is a scumbag, if you say it, you will fall, and there is no credit at all..."
Tong Yi frowned slightly, "Aren't you the one who was brought out by those servants?"
"The servants can only be used temporarily and not for a long time. I didn't know that there are other people in the city who are willing to submit to the king. Otherwise, they will definitely not be in the company of the servants."
The interpreter pouted and said a few more words to the king, "You people from Chu are too cunning, you don't trust all of you, you say that you are taking the emperor's head out, but you have to use a few servants to make up the count, no, the king is not satisfied, you I ate meat and drank wine, so I have to show some real skills."
The King of the East Sea has no other ability, so he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Hua Bin sighed and pretended to be embarrassed, "Your Majesty is right, since you promised to take the emperor's head out, you can't keep your word - I am willing to go back to Jincheng again, without the emperor's head, our father and son are willing to die in the city."
"Your emperor is seriously ill, and maybe he will die at some point, you have to hurry up." The translator said.
"Three days, at most three days." Hua Bin stretched out three fingers.
Gui Yuehua was a little hesitant at first. Seeing that King Xiongnu didn't support idlers, this place seemed to be more dangerous than the city. He also hurriedly said, "I'm going back to the city too, and I must get the emperor's head."
"I brought a few brothers into the city with the two of them." Dong Zhaizhu, eager to make a contribution, also joined in.
The interpreter looked at "Wei Su".
"As soon as the sun rises, the Yiwei camp will find that we have escaped, and we can't go back to the city." Deng Cui pointed to his four followers and thought for a while, "Although Yiwei has no other skills, he often To escort the imperial edict, whichever Chu general the king wants to kill, or which city he wants to seize, let the five of us respond internally."
The interpreter relayed everyone's answer to the Xiongnu king, and the king stretched his hand to the only Chu person who did not express his position.
The King of the East Sea was flustered, and was pointed at by the King of Huns, and was so frightened that he almost overturned the wine in the glass, "The Chu army of Qi State is commanded by Cui Hong and Chai Yue. I am a family member of Chai, and I can persuade Chai Yue to surrender..."
After the interpreter finished speaking, the king of the Xiongnu nodded in satisfaction and gave an order to a noble Xiongnu, who got up and walked outside the tent. Carrying the knife, he looked at the Huns who handed the knife to him, and did not intend to return it at all.
Not long after, the noble Huns who had sent out the tent came back with five Chu people.
Deng Cui turned around and had a face-to-face with the five people. One of them was his maid, and the other four were from the Daiwangfu. The two had escaped long ago, and the other two had left the city with the maid yesterday.
The five people knew that they were not qualified to see the Great King of the Huns, and they were already trembling when they were called in. When they suddenly saw Deng Cui, they were completely out of their minds, and they didn't understand what was going on.
Deng Cui also didn't let them understand. He strode forward, raised his sword, killed his maid first, and the other four thumped and knelt down, wanting to ask for mercy, but they were too scared to speak.
The Great King Xiongnu raised his arm and wanted to say a few words, but he did not expect that Yiwei of Chu State would be so impatient and kill him if he wanted to.
"When the city was broken, the people of Chu State were all slaves, and we didn't need their surrender. You are soldiers, and you are worth more than the people. But after surrendering to the Xiongnu, you have to make great contributions to get rewards. This is a common practice. The state of Chu is still the Xiongnu.”
The four servants kneeling at the door vaguely understood that they were dying soon, and one of them said to Deng Cui, "Deng..."
"What are you 'waiting' for?" Deng Cui shouted, and once again he raised his sword and killed another person, his eyes swept away, and the remaining three people were already slumped to the ground.
The Great King Xiongnu pointed to "Wei Su" and said a few words to his concubine and the nobles. Everyone laughed, not knowing what it meant, and the translator did not explain it. You can't just watch."
Hua Bin got up first, walked to Deng Cui's side, took the knife, and stabbed a servant in the chest, deliberately not killing it and leaving it to the people behind.
Gui Yuehua, Dong Zhaizhu and others were all robbers. They were accustomed to this kind of thing. They stepped forward to take the knife and stabbed them one by one. The blurred corpse, he stabbed symbolically, immediately returned the knife to Deng Cui, forcibly held back, and did not vomit.
The felt blanket was stained with blood, but the Huns didn't care. Taking the killing as a drink, he raised his glass and shouted, and all the people of Chu went back to their seats and raised their glasses in response.
Deng Cui personally wiped the knife clean and sent it to the original owner. The Huns took it in his hands and seemed a little disgusted.
The banquet continued into the night, and the five corpses were placed for a long time. One concubine couldn't stand it and asked the King of the Huns before the soldiers came in to remove the corpses, but the blood remained there.
The Huns admired the Yiwei of Chu State very much. "Wei Su" became the protagonist of the Chu people, while Hua Bin and others became foils.
Deng Cui eloquently said that he had never been a Yiweiwei, but he explained Yiwei's distress and dissatisfaction in a straightforward manner.
After the banquet was over, the Huns and Chu people staggered out, showing full drunkenness no matter what.
Outside the tent, Deng Cui put his arm around King Donghai's shoulder and said vaguely, "In the past, you were Chai Jiaxungui, and I was an ordinary Yiwei. Now we are all the same. How dare you underestimate me?"
"I've never underestimated you." Donghai Wang whispered, being pressed by Deng Cui, his footsteps staggered even more.
Taking advantage of the noise from left to right, Deng Cui whispered, "Can you fight?"
Donghai King's face changed suddenly, and he knew very well that Deng Cui was talking about the emperor. In Deng Cui's eyes, the Donghai King who was in a panic could not be compared with the calm and calm emperor in the city.
"I-I don't want to fight..."
Deng Cui patted Donghai King on the shoulder, "Really?"
