Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

Western Turks.

Left Wing Tribe's Yamen (Tibetan House).

Mohedu Khan was ultimately not so enraged as to issue a direct order for a major war against the Tang Dynasty, despite being publicly insulted in front of so many people, even though he had his face pressed against the faces of the women in his family.

This had already enraged him.

But now, they have first destroyed the Eastern Turks and then easily subdued the Tuyuhun.

He really didn't want to provoke the Tang Dynasty, which had caused chaos in Goguryeo and the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Gentlemen of Tang, you have had a long journey. Please rest first... Regarding the death of Tongyabgu Khan, I will give the Tang Dynasty a satisfactory answer. However, we need some time."

Mohedu Khan said this.

Then, they saw the Tang envoy grinning, one hand tearing at the wound on his arm as if he were risking his life.

His forehead twitched suddenly again.

He waved hurriedly.

"Someone, quickly summon a physician! Treat this Tang envoy... and fetch some gold and silver..."

Zheng Wuhe and the others exchanged glances.

Before they came in, they even drank farewell wine together and ate all the meat prepared for their journey.

Without any restraint, he pointed at the other person's nose and launched into a tirade of insults, begging for death.

Surprisingly, these once arrogant and barbaric Turks didn't kill them...

The tribal leaders present, especially the Turkic leader who had almost had his head cracked open with a stool by Zheng Wuhe and his group, dared not speak out in anger.

Pairs of eyes glared fiercely at these damned Tang people.

But the moment the other person turned their gaze towards him, he quickly averted his eyes.

"Heh, heh heh, things can be discussed, why resort to knives and guns?"

The tribal chief forced a smile, but under the gaze of Mohedu Khan, he had no choice but to put on a dry laugh as he faced Zheng Wuhe and the others.

"Tch!" Zheng Wuhe curled his lip in disdain.

"Rest is fine, but Khan Moheduo, there's something we must agree on. Don't try to drag it out. Our Tang army has already crossed the border and is now going to teach those shameless Gaochang a lesson. If we teach these daring beasts a lesson..."

"Still can't give an answer... Humph!"

"Then my Great Tang Dynasty has no need for any reply!"

Zheng Wuhe felt that the fluent Turkic language he spoke at that moment truly had the air of a powerful ruler of the Eternal Heaven.

He spoke up and reprimanded, leaving Mohedu Khan with no choice but to awkwardly force a smile.

"Hehe, of course, of course. My envoys, please go and rest. I will have wine and meat prepared..."

We walked out of the main hall.

Amidst the mournful cries outside, Zheng Wuhe and his companions, who were following the Turkic soldiers to their lodgings, suddenly stopped.

Looking at the person in front of him who had been stripped naked.

An envoy from the Kingdom of Gaochang was suspended from a pillar in the chilly winds of early spring.

"Go get me a riding whip..."

Zheng Wuhe sneered, speaking to the Turkic soldier as if ordering a servant.

The latter was taken aback.

Then, looking at the trembling envoy from Gaochang, he was about to say something.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply as he saw the Tang envoy, who had been the most insane before, looking thoughtfully at a sharp barricade standing to the side.

He would occasionally puff out his chest, as if he were aligning his heart with the spike, leaning his body as if he were about to be pierced right through.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly.

"Wait! Don't do anything reckless!"

These madmen have cursed the Great Khan, and even he treats them with extreme caution. If even one of them were to die in his hands today...

He hurriedly untied his riding whip from his waist and, under the horrified gaze of the Gaochang envoy, handed it to Zheng Wuhe in front of him.

"Heh... So you're the envoy from Gaochang?"

"Isn't your Gaochang king still negotiating with our Great Tang? How come... you're hedging your bets?" A pair of cold, cruel eyes surrounded him.

The Gaochang envoy was so frightened that his body trembled even more violently in the cold wind.

"I... I was just following orders, I..."

“I understand, I understand... As a subject, one who eats the emperor's food should die for the emperor, right?” Zheng Wuhe said with a half-smile.

The cold leather whip in his hand gently traced across the other person's body.

This caused the latter's face to turn pale again.

He nodded with a forced smile, his face full of pleading: "Yes, yes, Envoy Tang is merciful, I..."

"What?! Is that?!" One person's eyes widened in surprise.

"To die for the king while eating his food? Are you really going to die for that King of Gaochang?"

As he spoke, he snatched the horsewhip from Zheng Wuhe's hand and raised it to lash out at the Gaochang envoy.

"No, no, no! Envoy Tang, you've misunderstood! I... I will not die! I will not die for my lord!"

Zheng Wuhe's eyes turned cold: "You eat the emperor's food, yet you refuse to die for him... You are truly a despicable person! Since that's the case, then there's even less need to treat you with any respect!"

"Snapped!"

"what!!!"

Inside the council hall of Mohedu Khan.

Having just seen off Zheng Wuhe and his group, Mohedu Khan, with a furrowed brow and angrily kicking over the table in front of him, had just moments before wanted to curse the Tang Dynasty for being shameless.

next moment.

One Turkic tribal leader went and returned.

"It's terrible, Great Khan! It's terrible! Those Tang envoys are whipping the Gaochang envoy with their horsewhips, and we can't stop them."

Mo Hedu was furious again.

Just as he was about to reprimand them, he suddenly thought of those Tang envoys who seemed to be in an abnormal mental state, and gritted his teeth.

"They're not smoking you! If they want to smoke, let them!"

"Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't beat someone to death!"

The tribal chief looked troubled and hesitated, "Then, Great Khan, what if they want to beat that man to death?"

Mohedu Khan: "..."

"Then that blind fool is just unlucky!"

The whip cracked and lashed, striking the Gaochang envoy who was now wailing and begging for mercy.

however.

Looking at the Turkic tribal leader who had returned but simply stood aside and watched quietly.

Zheng Wuhe frowned.

"Aren't you going to stop us?"

The Turkic leader said, "...Tang envoy, do as you please, as long as no one is killed."

"What if we kill him?"

"Then he's just unlucky!"

The envoy from Gaochang Kingdom: "!!!"

When Zheng Wuhe and the others looked back, their eyes became increasingly sinister. The Gaochang envoy's already pale face turned bluish with fear.

"No, no, sirs, I was wrong! I... Waaah, my child was just born before I came here! Waaah, please, sirs, have mercy and let me go..."

He cried, trembling, tears mixed with cold sweat streaming down his face.

"Tsk..."

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Wuhe, who had been thinking that this would lead to a conflict with the Turks, curled his lip and tossed the whip to the nervous Turkic soldier beside him.

"Hmph! If you know what's good for you, hurry up and get the Western Turks to send troops to support you. If you can't do that... I'll beat you every time I see you starting tomorrow!"

The expressions of the people around him varied.

The group was led to a residence arranged by the Turks, and soon various kinds of wine and meat were served.

See this.

The expressions on the faces of Zheng Wuhe and the others inside the room were rather unpleasant.

"Lord Zheng, these Turks are not responding. What should we do?" the envoy surnamed Tang asked with some concern.

Amidst a series of coughs, one of the envoys suddenly gagged.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking crimson stain appeared on the handkerchief in her hand.

Zheng Wuhe frowned.

The man coughed up blood, but he wasn't worried at all; instead, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

"My lord, we are here to die. If we cannot win a just cause for our Great Tang Dynasty with our remaining strength, wouldn't we be failing His Highness the Crown Prince's great favor towards us?"

Zheng Wuhe took a deep breath and glanced outside the room.

"We're going to die! We'll only have value if we die here!"

"But I must die at the hands of the Turks!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned and began to ponder.

Suddenly, the envoy surnamed Tang stood up, looked around outside the door, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he walked back and closed the door.

He approached the group and rummaged through his pockets.

Take out a small bottle.

He lowered his voice: "Gentlemen... if you can bear some pain, you might be able to use this to escape!"

Without even thinking, it's obvious that the contents of this small bottle are poison.

"Poisoning? Here?"

"Of course not here. We must be poisoned at the banquet of Mohedu Khan, preferably in front of many people!"

The envoy surnamed Tang had barely finished speaking.

"boom!"

With a powerful kick, they slammed open the door on their side, and several Turkic figures rushed in instantly.

The next moment, the Tang envoy was pinned down.

"Hand it over! Hand it over!"

The Turkic tribal leader, who had been ordered to monitor Zheng Wuhe and his group, stared with an ugly and disgusted expression.

Looking at the Tang envoy who was still struggling and even about to swallow the poison on the spot.

He was so angry his nose almost twisted.

"Shameless! You Tang people are indeed deliberately framing us! You want to die in our Western Turkic Khaganate so that we can start a war against you!"

"Well! As expected, our Great Khan was right. You Central Plains people are the most cunning!"

With a wave of his hand, several more Turkic soldiers rushed in.

They immediately began stripping Zheng Wuhe and the others of their clothes and searching them carefully.

They removed the hairpin and replaced it with a rope.

They touched the dagger hidden in their trouser leg.

Then, silver needles, poison, and a powder with a medicinal smell, the purpose of which was unknown...

When I saw these Tang people, I was surprised to find that they even included the Analects, a book they had always regarded as sacred.

After they had inserted several razor blades into each one.

The Turkic tribal leader's face fell completely.

"Men! Bring all my belongings in! From now on, I will personally keep an eye on them!"

"You can die wherever you want! But there is absolutely no way you will die within my Turkic territory!"
