C57 (1/2)
Chen Mubai hesitated, but he didn't say anything. The family members were handed over to Huyan Jie, although they could guarantee that the King of Shanshan wouldn't be able to do anything to them, but they were controlled by Huyan Jie. This person had just surrendered, how could Chen Mu completely trust him?
Huyan Jie knew what Chen Mu was worried about and said with a smile, ”You don't believe me?”
”No, according to the alliance, this expedition was led by my cavalry and one thousand soldiers of Shanshan. The thousand men of Shanshan are under my command, but the infantry of Shanshan are not necessarily willing to fight in blood, so I hope that you can help me take care of my family. Isn't that a bit too much of a waste of your talent?”
Huyan Jie nodded, ”That's true. You and I met by chance, and I suddenly switched sides. I'm a general, so it makes sense that you don't believe me …” But I don't want to bring any more troops from Shanshan. How about this, the army will arrive in Ishu, Madame and Little will remain with the army, we will set up camp thirty miles away and rest for half a day. At this time tomorrow, you will give me a bronze sword and a war horse, we will cooperate and make a contribution, and when the sun rises, I will hand over Ishu to you! Not only that, they had brought the bronze swords and war horses with them. What do you think? ”
”Are you so sure?”
Although it was just a small area of land, there were still many defenders guarding the area. It was easier to capture them all by himself.
Huyan Jie smiled, ”If worst comes to worst, I'll just die to show my sincerity.” It will also prevent you and your wife from always being suspicious. If nothing happens to me, it will not be difficult for you to lead the army to pacify Ilyu. ”
Chen Mu cupped his fists and said, ”I'll listen to you. If you don't waste your time doing this, I'll recommend you to Lord Dou …”
”No need!” Hu Yanjie thought to himself: If you want to recommend me to be an official somewhere else, how will I be able to see Yin Ping again? I would rather spend my life with a beautiful woman than be the official of your Chinese. Not to mention, there are plenty of talented men. How can I unfold my ambitions there? Therefore, he immediately rejected it, ”If I succeed, you will hand over the concoction to me as a disciple. I don't want anything else. ”
Chen Mu was surprised for a moment. This request was against common sense. He had been counting on Huyan Jie to restrict Wang Zhi, but unexpectedly, after the disaster, Huyan Jie no longer had any intention to pursue her career. However, with his help, Chen Mu could have done anything he wanted. Whatever it was, he just needed to take down Ilyu. He wanted to teach Chen Shuang how to practice martial arts, and Chen Mubai had long agreed. What he did not understand was why he had to choose a stupid child to be his disciple. He secretly thought that Hu Yanjie had probably taken a fancy to some of Chen Shuang's strengths, but after thinking about it again and again, he still could not think of any good point about Chen Shuang, unless it was for the sariras … With another thought, it was impossible. Huyan Jie was not one of the Five Devils of the desert, what use was there if he wanted the sariras? It was also impossible for him to know Chen Shuang's origin.
”If that's the case, then I won't force you. I've already agreed to take you on as my disciple, so you don't need to mind that your son's talent is dull.”
Huyan Jie looked at Yin Ping again and said, ”Then let's talk after I've settled down. Since the war drums are pressing down, let's set off immediately.”
The few of them did not pack up their luggage. They took their two horses and went directly to the barracks outside the city. When they arrived at the camp, they found that a thousand cavalrymen and a thousand infantry were already ready to go. Wang Zhi, mounted on his tall horse, stood at the front of the line. He was displeased that Chen Mu had arrived so late. Without getting down from his horse to greet him, he pointed his horsewhip at Chen Mu and said, ”General is so elegant. Tell the two thousand men to wait for you!” He then glanced at Yin Ping and sneered, ”So you are a lustful and gentle man, yet you are still in the mood to look for a woman. I really don't know why Ban Chao is recommending you to Master Dou.”
After all, Chen Min was not familiar with these people, and there was no way he could have a quarrel with Wang Zhi because of his military affairs. Chen Min smiled and said, ”I am not very talented, but Master Ban Chao thinks highly of me. ”I'm late, and I came here to subdue a brave general. I'm not lusting after a gentle place, this is …”
