Chapter 394 Kusi Lao's Performance (5)
Meanwhile, in the yard where the Nine Thousand People were stationed.
"What's the matter with the two commanders? Let's come back at this time?" A man wearing centurion's armor walked in through the gate of the courtyard and said at the same time.
"I don't know either. I was patrolling the walls of the village, when suddenly a guard of the deputy commander of the thousand-strong commander came to me and said that the governor had an emergency order and asked me to come back and listen immediately." Another centurion replied.
"It's already 22 o'clock. What order will the governor issue at this time? The man Qin did not attack our army camp."
"Maybe there are some arrangements." Another man said, and saw Ahmed coming over and asked, "Do you know what orders the governor gave?"
"I don't know." Ahmed shook his head.
"You should have been more familiar with the two commanders in the past, and you don't know?"
"They didn't tell me. In fact, I had been resting in the tent just now, and only five minutes ago was the escort of the deputy commander notified me." Ahmed said again.
"It's also the escort of the Deputy Chief of the Thousand-Man?" The first person to speak noticed this and was a little confused: "Why are they all the escort of the Deputy Chief of the Thousand-Man?"
"Bohayi, this doesn't matter." The other person waved his hand. "Maybe the deputy commander of Qianfu received the news and sent someone to inform him. Moreover, the commander of Qianfu's guards were all dead at the hands of the Qin man. Now there are only two guards, so it is not convenient to send them out to convey the message."
'But Ahmed, who was in the yard, was also the escort of the deputy commander, and this was very abnormal; if we were to tell all the centurions, the commander should have already known it at this time.' Behayi thought to himself, and was about to say it, the guard standing in front of the tent saw that the ten centurions had arrived and said to them: "Please ask a few centurions to come in."
Everyone walked in immediately; Bohayi couldn't say anything, so he could only go in with everyone. Before entering, he looked at the faces of the guards guarding in front of the tent, and they were all the deputy commanders, and he was even more confused.
"I've seen the deputy commander of the Thousand." Ten people walked in, saluted Safe standing inside, and asked again, "Where is the Thousand Commander of the Thousand?"
"The commander of the thousand men is resting behind. We two take turns to rest. He is resting in the middle of the night before he rests, and I am resting in the middle of the night afterwards." Safe replied.
"Since the commander of the thousand men is resting, the deputy commander of the thousand men conveys the orders of the governor to us." Ahmed said. It is normal for the two commanders of the thousand men to take turns to rest, and he didn't care.
Even Behayi was relieved. ‘Since the commander has been resting, it is normal for him to notify us by his guards. The governor’s order probably did not convey what we needed to do.’
But at this moment, more than 20 people suddenly came out of the back tent, aiming at them with bows and arrows in their hands; four or five people walked in from the curtain of the tent, and raised their bows and arrows.
Five sounds of "swoosh", "swoosh", "swoosh", "swoosh", "swoosh", and "swoosh", Ahmed and the other five were already caught in the arrow before they came to their senses. The arrow was inserted into the throat accurately, and the sound of "hoho" fell to the ground.
The remaining five centurions were stunned and stared at Safe for a while, but no one spoke or even made any sound.
"Deputy Commander, what does this mean?" After a while, Behayi asked.
"Berhayi? You don't understand yet?" Safe, no? Mr. Kuss said. While he was talking, he had a smile on his face.
"You surrendered to Qin Na Kingdom and come back with the others this time? It is to be a spy for Qin! As for why you killed Ahmed and the other two, it is because they were either captured by Qin? Or maybe their close relatives were killed by Qin? It is impossible to surrender to Qin Na Kingdom too!" Bohayi said gritting his teeth.
"Correction of your mistake: I'm not a spy for that man Qin. But other than that, you guessed it well." Old Kusi said.
"Why did you surrender to Qin?" Bohayi said again.
"Don't ask about this. I won't tell you." Old Kuss had the urge to say everything to them, but he still held back and said this. He glanced at the five centurions again. He continued: "Now I give you two choices, life or death. Those who want to survive must surrender to Qin, and immediately take off their weapons and throw them on the ground? He knelt on one knee again; and as long as he did not do the actions I just said, he would be determined not to live.
I'll give you three minutes? If you make an action within three minutes, I'll shoot all five of you to death."
The five people looked at each other? I don’t know what to do. Of course they didn’t want to die, but they didn’t want to surrender to Qin. A minute soon passed.
The five people were even more nervous. They couldn't accurately judge how long it had passed? But because Kuss only gave him three minutes? They felt that more than 20 people standing around could shoot arrows at any time? Shooting the five people into arrow piles. All the five felt extremely stressed.
"I am willing to surrender to Qin!" Finally, a man couldn't help but feel the pressure, untied his scabbard and threw it on the ground, and then knelt on one knee and said.
"Azamu, you are actually going to surrender!" Berha said in grief. As he said, he saw the expressions of the other three people, and when they saw that they were all hesitant, they were likely to surrender, and they felt even more griefful and angry.
‘No, I can’t let them all surrender!’ Behayi thought to himself, and suddenly rushed towards Azamu, and opened his mouth and shouted loudly: ‘Someone is betrayal!’
But before his shouting was made, the sound of arrows breaking through the air had already sounded. The possibility of Behayi surrender was extremely low, and this was determined when Mr. Kuss contacted him in the afternoon. Although he did not shoot Behayi to death just now because of hope, he was always staring at him.
Just now, when Mr. Kusi saw Behayi pounce on Azamu, he immediately concluded that he wanted to alarm the people outside, so he quickly ordered an arrow into the field.
The sound of "Puff!" sounded continuously, and five arrows shot into Behayi in a row, and three of them hit the vital point. Behayi vomited blood and looked at Old Kuss again, as if he wanted to say something to him.
But his words could never be heard. Kuss walked to his side without waiting for him to make a sound, cut off his trachea with a Persian knife, causing him to die.
"In order to prevent you from shouting loudly to alarm people outside, I can only kill you like this." Old Kuss explained to anyone, and looked at Azamu's body with no eyes closed and said, "I'm sorry, in order to ensure that you can kill Behayi, I can only shoot you to death! I hope you don't hold a grudge against me after you go to heaven or hell.
Of course, even if you hold a grudge against me, I will not be afraid. After my death, I will not enter the heaven or hell of your Isran, but will enter the heaven or hell of our Zoroastrianism."
After saying these few words, it was meaningless. He could only make Mr. Kus feel at ease. He ordered the guards: "Pile these ten bodies together and don't let blood flow out of the tent. Send someone to hang the wooden sign I had ordered before outside the tent, and then no one can leave the tent."
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
"Hurry." Old Kuss said again and walked backwards.
Old Kuss soon entered the back tent. He walked to the bed and looked at Zafir who was sleeping on the bed, with an unbearable look on his face; he held the hilt of the knife in his right hand, but he still didn't move.
"Safe? What are you doing here? It's time to change shifts?" Somehow, Zafir was awakened, opened his sleepy eyes, and asked in a daze when he saw the person standing by the bed.
"No, it's not time to change shifts. As for why I stand here, I just take a look at you to sleep." Old Kuss said with a smile.
"What's so good about this? When we were doing something, we didn't say that we saw each other sleeping every day."
"It's been eight or nine years ago, and it's different from now."
"What's the difference between sleeping? We were twenty years old at that time, and now we are not thirty, so there's no difference." Zafir said, standing up from the bed and putting on his coat, and shouting, "Talig, come in and pour water."
"I'll pour it for you." Old Kuss said while pouring him a glass of water.
"They were not outside at this time, and I sent them out to pass the order." He explained again.
"My escort, you sent out to pass the orders, why don't you send your own escort?" Zafir seemed to blame, but in fact he didn't mean to blame. He just muttered: "Your family is really powerful. Even if many escorts die in battle, you can have more than twenty escorts with one call back to the barracks."
"This is born." Old Kuss said with a smile.
"It's so jealous." Zafir responded with a smile, lowered his head and took a sip of water.
"You just said that Talige and Taofeige were sent out to pass the order. What order was it?" He thought of this incident again and asked.
"The Governor sent someone to send a written order, which is not very important, so I will send someone to tell the centurions." Old Kuss said with a slight slight expression on his face.
"What's the specific content?" Zafir asked.
"Yes..." Kuss said, and stood up and walked behind Zafir.
At this time, the ground suddenly vibrated, and it seemed that many horse hooves were constantly stepping towards the ground. Zafir immediately put down the water cup, looked in the direction where the vibration was coming, and said, "What's this? Ah!"
"Safe, why do you want to kill me?" Looking back at the dagger that was still holding tightly in his hands, Zafir even forgot to dodge, his eyes wide open, he looked at him in extreme surprise, and said in disbelief.
"Zafir, I don't want to kill you, but you can't betray the Governor, I can only kill you." Old Kuss once again showed an unbearable look on his face, but he said firmly.
"You surrendered to that man Qin!" Zafir immediately thought of this reason and asked again: "Why, why do you surrender to that country of Qin!"
"Do you know my name?"
"Your name? You're not Safe?"
"No, Safe is just the name I am facing you. My real name is Kuth Old Sassan!
"You are a descendant of the Sassanian family!" Zafir looked at him with even more surprised eyes. Khorasan was once part of the Sassanian dynasty. Anyone with some culture in the local area knows that this dynasty that lasted for more than 400 years, Zafir is no exception.
"Yes, I am a descendant of the Sassanian family, and a direct descendant of the last king!" Kuss looked at Zafir and said, "The great cannibal destroyed the country I had owned, killed my grandfather, and forced us to convert to Islam. The people in our family have always kept these revenge in their hearts and have always wanted to take revenge.
But the Great Food Kingdom is too powerful, and even in a civil war, it is not something our family's power can deal with, so we continue to endure.
But Bingbo Xilin suddenly wanted to attack Qinna, and Qinna was very powerful enough to help our family restore the country. I will not hide it from you. I was deliberately captured by Qinna, just to meet with the highest officials of Qinna in Anxi, and ask them to help restore the country.
Moreover, the prince of Qin Na Kingdom also agreed to help our family restore the country. In order to defeat the great cannibals as soon as possible and restore our family's country, I pretended not to surrender, came to the tent where you lived, and discussed with Prince Qin Na in advance that it would set fire in the middle of the night, so that I and you can escape back to the Dashi military camp with justification.
Later, I instigated you to ask Bingbo Silin to send the 9th thousand-man team to garrison the village wall to be able to support Qin's army into the camp. To be honest, Bingbo Silin promised to appoint me as the deputy commander and saved me a lot of effort and could easily support Qin's army in; but even if Bingbo Silin did not do this, I could put Qin's army into the military camp."
"Aren't you afraid that Qin will break his promise in the future?" When Mr. Kusi said that he would pick up Qin's army into the camp, Zafir's expression changed drastically and wanted to shout. But he immediately realized that the tent was very thick because it was a place for people to live in, and the sound was difficult to make it sound, so he was useless to shout. So Zafir calmed down and asked after he finished speaking.
"No. Zafir, you don't know Qinna. The core territory of this country is too far from Persia or Khorasan to be managed at all. Even if they set up institutions such as the Persian Governor's Office instead of enthroning me as the Persian king, I will actually enjoy the status and power of the king. At worst, I can call myself the Persian governor for the diplomatic documents of Qinna or Central Asian countries, and call myself the king for the diplomatic documents of Western countries, and also claim to be king at home." Mr. Kuss explained.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves had already arrived near the tent. The rumbling of horse hooves around them had almost echoed through the sky. Even though the felt cloth on the back tent had been hung for several layers, the sound was still clearly transmitted to the ears of the two.
"Don't look at it anymore. I ordered someone to tick out a sign in this tent. That person Qin would not trample on this tent." Old Kusi said again.
"It seems that you are ready for everything. Since the reason for surrendering to Qin is this, I don't seem to have any reason to blame you; even if I find a reason to accuse you, you probably won't care.
But, I still want to curse you, curse you for being betrayed by that man Qin, and finally endure great pain to die!" Zafir used all his strength to shout at Mr. Kus, and then fell on the table, dying.
Seeing Zafir dead, Old Kuss stepped forward to hug his body, closed his eyes, and shed two lines of tears. Although the two sides had different positions, how could they easily forget the friendship that had lasted for nearly ten years, and how could they easily forget it?
"I have something to do!" After a while, the sound of horse hooves and shouts around him were even less. Kuss opened his eyes, said to himself, and put the body on the table.
"Put his body first, wash it according to Muslim's etiquette. When the situation stabilizes, I will be buried with Muslim's etiquette." He ordered the guards and walked out of the tent.
Chapter completed!
