Chapter 953 Wulezhi and Helu
Chapter 953 Wulezhi and Helu
"In other words, you've deceived all the ministers of the Turkic people and everyone who has met you?"
Helu's surprise had reached its peak. He pointed at Duoduo with one hand and his eyes involuntarily turned to his nephew Bakhtar who also had a surprised look on his face.
As expected, even Bakhan himself saw the true appearance of his uncle Shibi Khan Dodo for the first time today.
Duoduo, who was on guard against everyone, was very calm. He put away all his disguises, then turned calmly to Li Cunxi, bowed, and sat back on his own mat.
His true colors have been revealed, and now he should just go to sleep and not get involved in anyone's idle chat.
Seeing that Duoduo was not going to speak, Helu looked at his nephew Bhanna and asked:
"Have you really never seen it?"
Bhanna nodded and replied:
"From the first time I met my uncle until now, I've always had the impression that he had a beautiful beard. Now I realize that my uncle... has a fair complexion and no beard!"
After searching for a long time, Bakhta finally came up with this sentence to describe Dodo's face.
He is indeed good-looking, but if it is just this face, a man without a beard cannot be the most handsome man in the Turkic people.
It is because of his beard that Duoduo is the most handsome man in the Turkic people, but the real Duoduo had no beard.
"Good for you, Duoduo!"
After holding it in for a long time, Helu finally said this.
In terms of caution, he and his father combined are not even one-tenth as cautious as Duoduo.
This guy has been sticking a beard on his face since he was young, making everyone think he is a bearded man. When Gannan Dao was hunting down Duoduo, one of the intelligence they sent to Snake Spirit was the beautiful beard.
At that time, I was still afraid that someone would block the knife for Duoduo, and I was afraid that the people from the Snake Spirit would not recognize him.
Now it seems that there is only one word to describe my behavior back then...
Sand dollars!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"I'm really worried that you'll be depressed to death."
Li Cunxi couldn't stop smiling.
He really enjoyed eating the melon. If it weren't for Helu, he would probably never have seen Duoduo's true appearance.
"I lost. I completely lost."
Helu was willing to admit defeat and bowed to Li Cunxi again.
"If you lose, you lose. From now on, live a good life in Luoyang."
"Then don't leave. I will make you Marquis of Laiyang, grant you eighty slaves, and eighteen guards. I hope you won't cause me any trouble in the future."
Helu still thought that these people were sent by Li Cunxi to monitor him, so he said loudly:
"Your Majesty, with so many people watching me, I won't get into any trouble."
Li Cunxi guessed what Helu was thinking, but among those people, only three were there to monitor him.
But he didn't intend to make these things clear.
He smiled faintly and said:
"Marquis Laiyang, you can think whatever you want."
"I'll ask Wulezhi to visit you later. Speaking of which, it was you who gave me General Wulezhi, the Grand Commander of the Wind Riders."
"I was happy about this for a long time."
When Helu heard Ulezhi's name, his expression froze for a moment.
Ule quality.
This is a man who plays a very important role in Helu's life.
He and the wind riders under his command were once the strongest defensive force around Helu and were indispensable warriors for Helu.
However, during the war between the Great Zhou and the Khitan, he wanted to abduct Li Cunxi and sent out Ulezhi and the Wind Rider, but eventually lost contact with these warriors.
There was no longer any Ulezhi by his side.
"His Majesty."
After learning from his mistakes, Helu collected his thoughts and looked at Li Cunxi.
"I wonder where Wulezhi is now?"
Li Cunxi sat back on the dragon bed with an intriguing smile.
"General Wulezhi has been with me for several years and has helped me several times in times of crisis. He is now the Grand Commander of the Wind Riders and serves as my guardian."
"Come out, Ulechi."
All the civil and military officials were filled with excitement. They couldn't stop eating the melons and hurriedly looked for Wulezhi.
After Li Cunxi ascended the throne, they rarely saw Ulezhi. They only knew that the wind riders led by Ulezhi were Li Cunxi's personal guards, and Ulezhi had always been by Li Cunxi's side.
However, no one could find Ulezhi, let alone meet him.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise above Qianyang Palace. A figure flashed by quickly and finally stopped beside Li Cunxi.
He knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice: "General Wulezhi pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"Get up, Helu misses you very much, why don't you say a few words to him?"
"Your Majesty, although Helu is your former master, he has already repaid his debt of gratitude. Now he is just an old acquaintance in the court."
Wulezhi was unmoved and didn't even look at Helu.
Since following Li Cunxi, his mother, who is now seventy years old, has lived a good life in Yangzhou for several years. Her food, clothing and other expenses are all top-notch, and her monthly salary is ten or even dozens of times what she had before in Turkestan.
As for working for Li Cunxi, he only made three moves in four years. How else could Li Cunxi treat him?
Such a great favor was so great that even if Helu opened his heart to show it, he could not look back even once.
After seeing Ulezhi's behavior, Helu knew that Ulezhi was deeply favored by Emperor Li Cunxi in the Tang Dynasty, so he felt relieved.
As a loser, he could understand Ulezhi's thoughts.
On the second day after arriving in Luoyang, he was guaranteed to be the Marquis of Laiyang. He had a large house not far from the Luoyang Imperial Palace and nearly a hundred slaves and guards. If he didn't feel grateful to Li Cunxi, he would be considered heartless.
"It would be the best if General Wulezhi is well."
He withdrew his gaze from Wulezhi and stood still.
And Wulezhi was also helped up by Li Cunxi.
"You are my trusted and beloved general. I couldn't be more confident in you."
"After the court is dismissed, you will escort Marquis Laiyang back to his residence and have a good chat with him so that he can feel at ease."
Wulezhi bowed and agreed reluctantly.
After the court was dismissed, Li Cunxi signaled Ulezhi to lead Helu, while he himself ordered someone to find Ma Rong.
Ma Rong entered the imperial study and looked up to see Wu Yanhao stealing Li Cunxi's pastries.
"Your Highness Prince Liang is quite at ease."
Wu Yanhao's mouth was full of pastries. When he saw that it was Ma Rong who came in, he didn't care at all and even made a gesture to Ma Rong to "eat together".
Ever since he became the General of Qianniu Guard, Ma Rong's vigilance has reached its peak. He has to be cautious about everything about Li Cunxi.
Stealing cakes is absolutely not allowed.
"What are you afraid of?"
Wu Yanhao continued to stuff it into his mouth.
"The Emperor won't be back for a while. I just asked Lord Shangguan, and he said he's having dinner with the Empress and can't come."
Ma Rong smiled bitterly, sat down, and didn't do anything.
Having dealt with the Secretary General Shangguan Wan'er for so long, Ma Rong knew that if what Shangguan Wan'er said could be believed, even a dog could climb a tree.
Sure enough, when Wu Yanhao's mouth was full, Li Cunxi walked in.
"King Liang, is it delicious?"
