Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Xiongnu Khan's trump card

. Under Bai Qi's order, the Holy Son of the Demon Buddha Sect and the envoys accelerated towards the Xiongnu royal court. Everyone looked at Bai Qi with ambiguous eyes.

This would allow the Hun king to wear a green hat. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

At this moment, Bai Qi stretched out his hand to Princess Anyang and said, "Hand over the remaining poison."

"What do you want it for? "

Anyang was very curious.

"To kill the enemy! "

Bai Qi's words were concise and to the point.

Anyang's head was full of question marks.

Is the enemy you are fighting a woman?

Besides, who would be so stupid as to take this poison? I have tried my best to make you take the poison .

Anyang was puzzled.

He could only hand the medicine bottle to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi took the medicine bottle and checked it. He found that the whole bottle of Hehuan Powder was used up, but only a little bit was wasted. He nodded with satisfaction. This is definitely more useful than an antidote pill.

This kind of poison, which is effective for practitioners, you actually use it against me. It is simply a waste of resources.

If it is used to kill the enemy, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

.........

One month later.

In the Xiongnu royal court, the setting sun is like blood.

"Report--"

"My king, the Great Zhou marriage delegation will arrive at our Xiongnu royal court in another hour. "

Following the messenger's report, the eyes of the first Huns Khan, who was sitting on the golden tent, lit up. He leaned forward and asked anxiously: "Has that white one risen?

The messenger immediately replied: "Here they are, and they are sending a general to marry him!"

"Great!"

The first Khan of the Xiongnu laughed loudly. This Emperor of the Great Zhou was really a waste. He actually sent Bai Qi to me.

This time I must use Bai Qi's blood to commemorate my 60,000 dead warriors!

The first Hun Khan turned to a skinny old man next to him and asked: "

National Master, how are the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony going?"

The Hun National Master wore a necklace of animal bones and his face was smeared with colorful mud. He knew what the Hun Khan wanted to ask.

So he bowed to the First Khan of the Xiongnu and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as Bai Qi is burned alive on the altar, the defeat in this war will not have any impact on Your Majesty's prestige."

After hearing this, the First Khan of the Xiongnu was relieved.

He secretly resented himself for leading 200,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen and had originally intended to destroy Honghua City in one fell swoop.

Then they burned, killed and looted in the Central Plains to consolidate their position in the entire Xiongnu Dynasty.

It would be best if he could use his military achievements to annex the other four Khans in one fell swoop and become the true Hun emperor.

But he never expected that 60,000 of the 200,000 troops he led were directly killed by Bai Qi and his men. Now Bai Qi has become the nightmare of his entire tribe.

Many warriors lost the courage to fight when they mentioned Bai Qi, so he came up with this plan and asked the Emperor of Zhou to send Bai Qi to the Xiongnu royal court.

Let's cremate him on the spot!

When the first Hun Khan thought of this, he hammered his throne angrily and said with gritted teeth:

"Before burning Bai Qi to death, I must make him kneel in front of me, and let all my Hun warriors see that no matter what god of war, they must submit to me."

"I am the most brave king in the whole world!"

Although he said so, the leaders of the various Hun tribes below looked grim, and someone reminded him:

"My king, Bai Qi is a cultivator."

"If he wants to run, we may not be able to stop him."

Many of these Hun tribal leaders participated in the Battle of Honghua City, and they are still frightened of Bai Qi's ferocious power.

“Speaking of cultivators, we have some here too!”

“Please welcome Zen Master Tianhui.”

The first Khan of the Xiongnu extended his hand, and a monk in black walked in from outside the golden tent.

Although he was a monk, he was holding a leg of lamb in his hand and eating it with great pleasure.

Even when facing the Hun high-ranking officials, he was indifferent and casually grabbed the wine jug in front of the Hun's first Khan and took a few big gulps.

Then he kicked a high-ranking Hun leader away and sat in his place.

He even asked the maid of this high-ranking Xiongnu official to cut mutton for him.

The Xiongnu leaders were angry but dared not speak out.

“This is a traitor from Tianfo Temple!”

“It is said that this guy ran to Shaolin Temple and secretly learned their unique skill, the Vajra Indestructible Kung Fu.”

“Finally, he was hunted down by Tianfo Temple and Shaolin Temple, leaving him with no place to stay in the Central Plains, so he ran to our grassland to seek refuge.”

The well-informed tribal leader instantly knew the identity of this man and thought to himself, didn’t this guy join the Blood Wolf Hall before?

The First Khan of the Xiongnu smiled when he saw that everyone knew Zen Master Tianhui:

"We have Zen Master Tianhui, so dealing with a little Bai Qi should be a piece of cake. After all, Zen Master Tianhui is a master at the peak of the ninth level of the acquired realm."

"He is only one step away from the innate realm."

At this moment, Tianhui had already finished eating the leg of lamb. When he heard that these Xiongnu people were so afraid of Bai Qi, a look of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I can crush this so-called Bai Qi to death with one hand!"

As he said this, he rubbed his hands gently, and the sheep bones in his hand were directly crushed into powder and scattered all over the ground like dust.

The Xiongnu leaders were all shocked when they saw this scene, which made them even more respectful of cultivators, especially immortals and gods.

And this time.

The Xiongnu state teacher frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty, killing Bai Qi is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to make Bai Qi kneel down and beg for surrender."

"Only in this way can the Xiongnu subjects see your power."

"As far as I know, even if Bai Qi dies, it will be difficult for him to kneel down willingly."

The people around nodded when they heard it. After all, they have been collecting information about Bai Qi recently, and this guy doesn't even give face to the Emperor of Zhou.

How could one possibly surrender willingly?

Obviously they did not think that Zen Master Tianhui had the ability to force Bai Qi to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Now as the first Khan of the Xiongnu, what he wants is not only to kill Bai Qi, but also to make Bai Qi kneel down and beg for mercy in front of all his subjects.

They placed Bai Qi on the altar and sacrificed him using the most ancient and brutal ritual of the Huns.

Only in this way can the Xiongnu king gain the recognition of heaven and re-establish his former authority.

It is easy to kill Bai Qi, but it is not so easy to force Bai Qi to kneel down.

However, the First Khan of the Xiongnu said confidently: "It doesn't matter. I have invited the Holy Son of the Demon Buddha."

What! ?

Hearing the words "Son of the Demon Buddha", even Tianhui, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly stood up, his eyes full of horror and awe.

At this moment, a clear Buddhist chant rang out: "Amitabha!"

Then, the golden-roofed tent moved without wind, and the door curtain opened by itself, and a young monk with a handsome face and wearing a moon-white monk robe walked in from outside.

He was born otherworldly, with a blood-colored flame pattern between his eyebrows, which made him look even more weird.

“I have heard of Bai Qi’s fame while on the snowy mountain. I also want to see how talented and brilliant a man who loves killing is!”

There seemed to be a crescent moon in his eyes. Wherever his eyes reached, everyone felt incomparable peace and tranquility in their hearts.

But even so, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Because they knew clearly that this guy looked like a high-level monk, or even more like the reincarnation of a bodhisattva or a reborn arhat.

But he is more terrifying than the evil demon. The Demon Buddha Sect he belongs to is a demon sect and the mortal enemy of all the Buddhist sects in the Central Plains.

Zen Master Tianhui, who was always arrogant, immediately bowed respectfully to the Holy Son of Demon Buddha and called him "senior monk".

No one knows what realm the Demon Buddha Saint has reached.

However, it is said that the leader of a Xiongnu tribe angered the Holy Son of Demon Buddha, who just suddenly chanted the Buddha's name when they were celebrating a festival.

As a result, the entire tribe drew their swords and committed suicide frantically. More than 1,000 Huns were killed or wounded in less than two breaths!

The Holy Son of the Demon Buddha floated away without a drop of blood on his body.

Such a result makes people extremely afraid of this Holy Son of the Demon Buddha, and no one knows what means he used.

At this moment, even the first Khan of the Huns stood up from the throne to welcome the arrival of the Holy Son of the Demon Buddha.

"This time we have to rely on the holy monk!"

The first Khan of the Xiongnu was very respectful. If the Great Zhou was the world of those famous and upright sects.

In this bitterly cold land of the northwest, demons run rampant and lawlessness reigns. This is the world of evil sects.

He just didn't want to offend these people easily.

When the Holy Son of Demon Buddha saw the First Khan being so humble, he showed a humble smile on his face, and said in a voice full of pity:

"Khan, you are too kind to me. This is my job. But after this, my Demon Buddha Sect's main hall will need 1,000 maids to clean the courtyard."

"I will also need ten thousand taels of gold to rebuild the golden body of my Demon Buddha."

"I will also need a thousand cattle and sheep so that my fellow disciples will not go hungry."

This is simply a huge demand!

It takes so much money to make a move at one time.

This is truly a devilish approach.

The imperial teacher frowned. Gold and cattle and sheep were still fine, but women were the most valuable assets of the Huns. If there were fewer women, fewer children would be born, and there would be one less group of warriors to attack the Great Zhou next year.

So he wanted to discuss with the Demon Buddha Saint Son: “Didn’t we just give 300 maids to the Demon Sect last month?”

The Demon Buddha Saint Son’s face was full of pity and regret, and he sighed softly:

“I was just about to talk about this. Three days ago, I was practicing and became possessed, and accidentally sent them all to paradise. Hey, I will pay attention next time. I really didn’t mean it.”

Damn it!

At this moment, the Hun leaders were collectively cursing in their hearts.

Even the three sons of the first Khan of the Xiongnu wanted to greet the old mother of the Holy Son of Demon Buddha directly.

You look like a normal enlightened monk, but you have never done anything human. No wonder you are called the Son of the Demonic Buddha.

I think you are the biggest devil in this world.

How dare you wear a monk's robe?

But at this moment, no one dared to say a word in front of the Demon Buddha Saint, because no one knew how the Demon Buddha Saint killed people.

Those who know may be dead.

This time when dealing with Bai Qi, they also wanted to see the true methods of the Demon Buddha Saint and see if the rumors were true.

How can an entire tribe be massacred with just a Buddhist chant?

"Boom, boom, boom!"

An hour later, the war drums sounded, and the First Khan clenched his fists, his face turned pale!

"Come here, form a battle line!"

The first Khan of the Xiongnu walked out of the golden-roofed tent and came to the outside of the tent. There was a high platform built here for inspecting the troops, and today, it was used to entertain Bai Qi and his party.

At this moment, 100,000 Hun cavalry were on full alert, with scimitars drawn. The Huns in the back row drew their bows and arrows, and all their weapons were aimed at the marriage delegation in the front.

Then the Xiongnu national master shouted in fluent Chinese:

"Announcement: The Great Zhou Alliance Division, kneel to see our king!"

Then the Xiongnu national master shouted in Chinese: "Kneel down!"

And the 100,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen in the rear slammed their scimitars against their scabbards, making a dull sound, and they shouted in Chinese together:

"Kneel down!"

"Kneel down!"

"Kneel down!"

When Qian Chuan heard such a huge shout and saw the Xiongnu cavalry ready for battle, he was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.

Then, holding the marriage letter from the Great Zhou in both hands, she would kneel down step by step to meet the Xiongnu Khan.

When the Huns saw this scene, they all laughed and commented on Qian Chuan's ugly behavior in their hearts.

The imperial guards in the rear actually knelt down together and shouted in unison: "The Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou, we come to see His Majesty the Khan of the Xiongnu!"

The first Khan of the Xiongnu laughed out loud. He did not expect that these people were so soft-hearted.

It seems that dealing with Bai Qi this time will be much easier than last time. Last time, at least Bai Qi had 10,000 soldiers standing behind him, as well as the entire Honghua City's iron-blooded army.

Princess Anyang saw her own people kneeling all around her, and her pretty face was filled with sadness.

I am not afraid of not being able to win, I am afraid of having no fighting spirit and no backbone.

At this moment, Bai Qi was so angry that he kicked Qian Chuan, who was kneeling to submit the letter of credence, to the ground.

Then he yelled angrily at the imperial guards behind him: "Get up, all of you!"

After Qian Chuan was kicked to the ground, he saw that the person who kicked him was Bai Qi, so he immediately ran to Bai Qi, lowered his head, bent over, and then acted like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

The Imperial Guards were full of confidence. They did not think there was anything wrong with kneeling to meet the Xiongnu Khan.

Some even retorted on the spot:

"Although the Xiongnu Khan is the Xiongnu emperor, his status is equivalent to that of our Great Zhou emperor. What's wrong with foreign ministers kneeling when they meet the ruler of a foreign country?"

Bai Qi was so angry that he looked at these hopeless pieces of mud and directly cursed:

"Why didn't the Xiongnu envoys kneel when they met the emperor of our Great Zhou?"

"That time when the Hun envoys met the emperor of our Central Plains dynasty, weren't they arrogant?"

"They were almost pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding him in the hall."

This!

The Royal Guards looked at each other and realized that this was true.

Not to mention the Huns' envoys, even the envoys from the Southern Barbarians, Western Chu, and Northern Liang came to meet the emperor of the Great Zhou every time.

Who has ever kneeled down?

They are all so arrogant.

Compared with these envoys, they suddenly felt ashamed, but now they had already kneeled, and if they stood up again, it would be a bit of self-deception.

Someone directly muttered: "They have an army of 100,000, and all their weapons are drawn, and the arrows are pointed at us. Why do we care about face and dignity now?"

Bai Qi was stunned. He was really amused by these stupid teammates. He scolded:

"If I had known you were such a waste, I might as well select elite troops in Honghua City. At least it would not weaken the prestige of our Central Plains Dynasty."

"I was thinking of bringing you back alive."

"I was still thinking of being responsible for you."

"But now I see you all are so angry, get out, get out!"

Although Bai Qi asked them to get out, these royal guards did not even move. Instead, they stared at the Xiongnu Khan.

Some of them even knew Xiongnu language and shouted:

"We came here on the orders of the Emperor of Zhou. Now our mission has been accomplished. We request His Majesty the Khan of the Xiongnu to allow us to return to our homeland."

"We, the one thousand imperial guards, are endlessly grateful and kowtow to God!"

As they spoke, they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the first Khan of the Xiongnu, kneeling more devoutly than Song Jiang.

They are not stupid. If they don't appease the Xiongnu Khan now, they may be buried here like Bai Qi.

The First Khan of the Xiongnu was even more delighted when he saw that Bai Qi couldn't even help these people.

The surrounding Huns burst into laughter, and even the Hun women and children in the distance laughed at the kneeling posture of these people.

"Great, great!"

The first Khan of the Huns was overjoyed. The cooperation of the Royal Guards helped him restore some of his prestige in the Huns.

After all, the Huns always worship the strong!

But the First Khan of the Xiongnu did not want to let the Royal Guards go so easily, and gave a wink to the Imperial Master, who immediately understood and said in Chinese:

"It is very simple for you to leave, all you need is for your general Bai Qi to kneel down and present the letter of credence, and you all can leave safely."

"Otherwise, you will all be buried with Bai Qi!"

When the Royal Guards heard this, their faces changed.

This is all Bai Qi’s fault. Why did he kill so many Huns for no reason?

So these people knelt before Bai Qi and begged:

"General Bai Qi, please, isn't it just kneeling to the Xiongnu Khan? What's the big deal?"

"Yes, if you don't kneel, we will be implicated to death!"

"You are the murderer!"

They criticized Bai Qi one by one, as if Bai Qi would be punished by heaven and earth if he didn't kneel!

Bai Qi looked at these people and his eyes gradually turned cold.
