C193 (1/2)
”I pay my respects to Master Ge Wuka.”
”Get up.”
Receiving Wu Qike's acknowledgement, Ge Wuka felt a surge of joy in his heart, but his expression was still very calm. As long as one tribe after another acknowledged him, his status in the Upper Valley would be unshakable. If he defeated fresh inferior, he would be even more mighty than his father.
”Master Ge Wuka, please come to the tent to have a drink.”
Although Wu Qike was unwilling, but since they had already acknowledged Ge Wuka's position in the Lord Wu Huan, they should treat him with respect. Wu Qike respectfully made an inviting gesture, and brought Ge Wuka and the group to his own camp.
Wu Qike's tribe was not big, with a total of less than ten thousand people. There were only around two thousand Knights who could control blades when they fought, and if not for the fact that his tribe was too small, and could not fight against Ge Wuka, he would never have acknowledged Ge Wuka as Lord Wu Huan.
As they walked into Wu Qike's tribe, the women all stared at the group of uninvited guests with widened eyes. No matter when it was, the women would always be the most vigilant. Bloody experiences told them that when these bloodthirsty men came together, nothing good would happen.
Sure enough, a quarrel soon broke out in the tent. Although Wu Qike had recognized Ge Wuka's identity as a Lord Wu Huan, he would not listen to Ge Wuka's orders. So when Ge Wuka asked them to surrender to the Darky Court, he insisted on it.
”What?” They want us to surrender to the Chinese? No! Absolutely not! We just have to acknowledge that we have pledged our allegiance to the Han people, and tell us to send the women and children to the city and help them attack the fresh inferior.
Ge Wuka's face flushed, then paled. He did not expect to encounter resistance from the very first tribe, which greatly challenged his authority. However, he still endured his anger and could not lose the attitude of a Lord Wu Huan. He looked at Wu Qike and said lightly:
”After so many years, the fresh inferior has been fighting with us over the grassland. They even robbed our women and cattle during these few days. It just so happens that our Urushion is able to take advantage of Chinese Army's power and completely destroy him. In the future, our Upper Valley County's pasture will belong to him, so why not? If you leave the women and sheep in the county, you don't have to worry about the fresh inferior's sneak attack.
Wu Qike did not seem to be moved by the prospects that Ge Wuka had described, he obviously wanted to chase away the fresh inferior, but since he was not willing to follow Ge Wuka to fight against fresh inferior, he did not believe in the Chinese. He coldly stared at Ge Wuka, and said disdainfully.
”Humph!” I don't want to deal with them. Besides, if a tribe can't even protect its own women and children, there's no need for the tribe to exist. ”
With a ”sou” sound, he pulled out the scimitar and was about to chop off Wu Qike's head. But at the same time, the warrior beside Wu Qike also pulled out his scimitar, the warriors on both sides stared at each other, and they were about to fight to the death.
”Everyone stop!”
Ge Wuka finally took out the Lord Wu Huan stance, and with a loud roar, he stunned everyone inside the tent. Although these Urushion were savage, they were also afraid of their might and power, so they obediently kept the scimitar. Ge Wuka then stood up and said sternly.
”Wu Qike, the Han Chinese have already sent tens of thousands of cavalrymen into the Upper Valley. They are encircling and annihilating Urushion and fresh inferior who are not obedient within the borders of the Upper Valley.
”What's the big deal!” At most, we can leave the Upper Valley and return to the desert. I don't believe that those Chinese would dare to chase into the desert. ”
Wu Qike stubbornly raised his head, glanced at Ge Wuka coldly, and said fiercely. He knew that once he followed Ge Wuka and pledged his allegiance to the Han Chinese, his tribe would definitely be incorporated into Ge Wuka's tribe.
Seeing Wu Qike's determined look, the flames of anger in Ge Wuka's heart started to burn fiercely. It seemed that this guy would rather escape to the desert than follow him. He forcefully suppressed his anger, stared at Wu Qike and coldly said:
”Do you want to give up your ranch?”
”Humph!” If we give in to the Chinese, this place will be their pasture. He turned twenty thousand fresh inferior into a Mute Eunuch. Who knows if he would also turn a Urushion into a Mute Eunuch. ”
Wu Qike swept his eyes across Ge Wuka and saw his anger. He quickly turned his attention to the Han Chinese and said angrily. Although he did not like Ge Wuka, he did not want to have a falling out with him either. After all, they were all Urushion.
”The advisor of the Lord General said that it was because the fresh inferior was not willing to submit that they had to be vicious to the fresh inferior. As for Urushion s who submit, they will protect them and as for those who refuse to submit, they will destroy them as well. ”
Seeing that Wu Qike was angry at the Chinese, Ge Wuka calmed his anger down a little. He did not want the other Urushion s to be on good terms with the Chinese either, so he did his best to persuade Wu Qike. As long as Wu Qike followed him, it would not be excessive for him to even accommodate Wu Qike's actions.
”You don't have to say anything. I will never surrender to the Chinese.” Wu Qike stood up with a ”teng” sound, coldly swept Ge Wuka and the others with his gaze, and unrestrainedly ordered them to leave, ”You may leave, we will not entertain any guests today.”
”You …” Ge Wuka was so angry that he almost jumped up, a dignified Lord Wu Huan was actually being chased away by a small tribe. ”He stood up expressionlessly, his anger already starting to burn in his eyes. He waved to his warriors and walked out of the tent.” ”Let's go!”
When Ge Wuka came out of the tent, he saw that Wu Qike's Knights were all gathered outside the tent, vigilantly watching his group. As for Ge Wuka's Knights, they were all mounted on horses, vigilantly staring at Wu Qike. Ge Wuka looked at the hostile gazes of the Knights of Wu Qike, and a malicious idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
