Seeing the change in Xieli's expression, Du Qi knew that his words had already taken effect. Previously, Gao Manzheng had sent a message, which was equivalent to telling Xieli to control Yang Lizhi and prevent her from causing trouble.
Du Qi believed that Xieli would certainly beat Yang Lizhi. But even after Xieli beat Yang Lizhi, Yang Lizhi still arranged for Gulu to assassinate them. This was somewhat interesting.
It meant that Xieli's words were not effective.
It was a slap to Xieli's face.
Du Qi said lightly, "There is a saying in the Central Plains, how can one sweep the world if one does not sweep a house? If the Khan can't even control a woman, how can he control the entire grassland? "" That's right. You can't even control a woman. How can you control the entire grassland?
"Shut up!"
Xieli shouted in a low voice.
Du Qi shrugged, looking indifferent. He waved his hand and said, "I said just now that Gulu killed our group, I need Khan to give me an explanation. Now that Khan has listened to me, I expect that he will punish Gulu. So, I agree to your request and release Gulu and his group. "
He chose to release them.
This scene caused Xieli to be stunned as well.
Just now when Xieli asked Du Qi to release them, Du Qi strongly refused and instead said a lot. Now he agreed to release them.
Du Qi noticed Xieli's surprised expression and smiled in his heart. Actually, he did not have much use in detaining Gulu and his group. The reason was very simple. Li Daen already detained Zhi Shu, Si Li and the others. There was no benefit in having another Gulu.
The reason why Du Qi asked Xieli to give him an explanation just now was because through Gulu, he wanted to talk about the matter of Gulu receiving Yang Li's instigation. He also wanted to express his attitude that Du Qi was not afraid of Xieli.
As for Du Qi releasing them in the end, it was because Du Qi was certain that even if he did not ask Xieli to punish Gulu, then in the end, Xieli would definitely punish Gulu and Yang Lizhi.
Xieli pondered for a moment, suppressing his chaotic emotions, he said, "Your group has come from afar, it must have been hard on you, go and rest first." With a wave of his hand, a soldier stood out and led Du Qi's group towards the tents within the imperial court.
Du Qi nodded in agreement. He remembered clearly that Xieli definitely had to deal with some internal affairs.
After Du Qi's party left, Xieli took Gulu and the rest of the Tujue generals back to the imperial tent. Xieli sat upright on the main seat, the expression on his face incomparably dark.
He then arranged for people to bring Yang Lizhi over. After Yang Lizhi entered, Xieli's gaze stared at Gulu who was kneeling in the big tent. He said coldly, "Gulu, you're very good! You disobeyed Ben Khan's orders. On the other hand, you run away so fast because of Yang Lizhi's orders. "
Gulu kowtowed and said, "Khan, please spare my life. I was filled with resentment towards the Tangs and was instigated by the Princess. I was hot-headed and brought people to rob and kill. But the Princess said that there would be no effect if I killed a Tang. She was even willing to put in a good word for me in front of the Khan. That's why I went. "
After Yang Lizhi heard this, she glanced at Gulu.
This guy was smart.
He knew how to lie.
But Yang Lizhi did not intend to expose him. The reason was very simple. Keeping Gulu would be useful in the future.
Xieli heard this and his gaze fell on Yang Lizhi. He said coldly, "Yang Lizhi, Ben Khan personally passed down the order to prohibit anyone from robbing and killing the envoys of the Tang dynasty. It seems that you didn't put Ben Khan's order in your ears! "
Yang Lizhi smiled slightly and said lightly, "Khan, I didn't go in person, so it's not against your order. The one who went to rob and kill this time was Gulu, not me! "
She was the same as Gulu, shirking the responsibility.
Gulu's face twitched. He secretly hated Yang Lizhi for being so sly. But he did not say anything. After all, the real relationship between him and Yang Lizhi must not be revealed.
Xieli heard Yang Lizhi's words and said coldly, "Good, good, it's not you."
According to Yang Lizhi's twisted logic, it was indeed not him but Gulu, this bastard. It was because Gulu was brainless that he was easily instigated by Yang Lizhi.
Xieli did not know that there was a green grassland above his head. He thought that he would teach Yang Lizhi a lesson at night. He ordered, "Guards, take the princess away. Without my order, no one is allowed to see her and no one is allowed to go out."
"Yes!"
The soldiers entered and took Yang Lizhi away.
Xieli's gaze fell on Gulu again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Trash, it's fine that you went to rob and kill, but you became a captive. You lost the face of the Turks. Why don't you die? Why did you come back alive? "
If he died, he would be a warrior.
If he came back alive, he would be a captive.
Gulu lowered his head. But in his heart, he said that a bad life was better than a good death. After all, he was the leader of a tribe. From time to time, he could go and have sex with Yang Lizhi. How could he be willing to die in such a happy life?
Gulu did not say a word.
Anyway, he was sure that he could get through the current situation.
Xieli's anger was surging. The grievance during this period was now vented through Gulu. He stood up and scolded Gulu, scolding him continuously.
Under Xieli's words, Gulu was simply an unpardonable evil, a disgrace to the Turks, an existence that brought shame to the Turks.
After everything was settled, Xieli stopped talking.
Xieli felt that the pent-up anger in his heart had finally dispersed. He said in a deep voice, "Gulu acted without permission and humiliated the Turks even more. Guards, drag Gulu away and flog him thirty times with the military rod. Remember, flog him hard. Don't hold back at all. I will kill whoever holds back. "
"Yes!"
The soldiers entered and dragged Gulu out.
On Gu Liu's face, there was an expression of relief. In any case, he had escaped a calamity. Although he had to be flogged thirty times, it was easy for Gulu to avoid these thirty flogs.
"Wait!"
Just as Gulu was about to be dragged out of the tent, Xieli's voice suddenly came from behind.
The soldier holding Gulu stopped. Ignoring the injury on Gulu's thigh, he put Gulu on the ground, causing Gulu to fall down. He even grimaced in pain from the wound.
Xieli said in a deep voice, "Gulu's action not only humiliated the Turks, he also disobeyed orders. From today onwards, Gulu will be stripped of his position as the chief of his tribe. The tribe he belongs to will be under my command. "
Swoosh!
Gulu's expression changed greatly.
Earlier, he could accept Gulu being flogged and even felt relieved. But now, Gulu was in despair. He even felt that the world had turned dark.
His tribe was seized. He had nothing left.
At that moment, Gulu was not only filled with resentment toward Xieli, but at the same time, he was also filled with rage toward Du Qi and the others.
All this was caused by Du Qi.
He was held captive by Du Qi.
He was humiliated by Du Qi.
He was punished by Xieli.
All this was caused by Du Qi. So, Gulu already had a killing intent in his heart. He did not plan to stop with Du Qi. Gulu also did not dare to resist Xieli. He knew very well that once he resisted, not to mention being stripped of his position as the chief of his tribe, he would probably be killed immediately.
Xieli waved his hand. The soldiers then escorted Gulu away.
Not long after, the sound of flogging floated outside the king's tent. The sound came into the king's tent. The tribe chiefs and the main generals in the king's tent all had a slight change in expression.
Xieli's punishment this time was a little harsh.
Xieli looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Now, let's talk. The Tang dynasty's diplomatic corps is here. How should we deal with it?"
