Chapter 93 Treacherous court official who brought disaster to the country? (1)
Under the glaring-like-a-tiger-at-its-prey and beaming with smiles gazes of Muke and the Xiongnu leaders, Lin Qing gave Muke a list of the important things of the frontier. That was, the list of names of the military leaders that could threaten the Xiongnu, the troop they led and their duties.
Muke looked at the people written on the paper with excitement. His eyes got brighter and brighter and finally gave of a catchy light.
Lin Qing looked at him quietly and said, “Is great khan satisfied with this list? This humble one is willing to do my best for great khan’s great cause.”
Hearing Lin Qing’s voice, Muke raised his head from the list. His eyes were shining and he laughed, “Qiansui is polite. Qiansui has always been our most honored guest. What could this khan be dissatisfied about? What do you all think?!”
All the Xiongnu leaders in the khan’s tent shouted loudly, showing the power of the Xiongnu’s court.
Lin Qing could see that they were doing this to intimidate him, the Qiansui of Great Liang, the important official of the court, and let him obediently serve the Xiongnu from now on.
Muke looked at Lin Qing with a slightly respectful look. He was in deep thoughts. He had inquired about the person in front of him from Chachar.
When he sent Chachar to Great Liang to propose marriage, he had deliberately let him inquire about the information of the court of Great Liang in secret. Among all the important officials of the court, the most special person was the one in front of him.
This man not only the chief eunuch that emperor Jinghui trusted the most, he was also in charge of largest intelligence agency of the Great Liang, the Prefecture of Arrest. One had to know that this position had always been held by outsider ministers. However, emperor Jinghui gave this position to a eunuch. It could be seen how much the emperor of Great Liang trusted him.
But the most important thing was that this person was the treacherous official that everyone hated. Almost the whole court of Great Liang wanted to dismember him into pieces, but this kind of person was exactly what they needed. With his help, destroying the imperial court of Great Liang is just around the corner.
Muke touched his short beard, smiled and said to Lin Qing, “I will remember Qiansui’s help, but did Qiansui leave out something?”
“Leave what?” Lin Qing looked confusedly at Muke and everyone in the big tent also looked puzzled at Muke.
Mule glanced at the left Tuqi king Dali once. Dali understood and stood up immediately. “Did Qiansui forget something? What our khan wants is not only the information of the northwest. We are not familiar with the court of Great Liang, so, our khan also needs their information.”
All the leaders and generals in the big tent showed a look of enlightenment. Then, everyone looked at Lin Qing again, bringing him full oppression.
Lin Qing showed a terrified look on his face and immediately said, “This subject will immediately go back and add the information of the great officials, and will certainly not disappoint great khan’s expectations!”
Lin Qing’s expression was flustered and a bit scared. He also called himself ‘this subject’, which explained that he had surrendered his heart to him (M). Probably, Great Liang had long been thrown aside by him (LQ). Muke said with satisfaction, “This khan knows Qiansui’s heart now. As long as Qiansui serve this khan well, even without Great Liang, this khan will definitely not treat you badly.”
Lin Qing trembled after listening to that and his eyes became more horrified. Muke laughed with satisfaction. Everyone in the big tent also laughed.
Lin Qing’s actions showed that he was already serving them, but their temperament dictated that they would always look down upon such a person. Their laughing eyes showed their contempt and disgust for the person in front of them.
That was right, disgust, because the person in front of them was not only disloyal to his master, he is also a eunuch. No matter which Xiongnu, they would look down upon such a person.
Under everyone’s faintly seeing him a s a joke gaze, Lin Qing said cowardly, “Respected khan, I wonder if you can let the guards that is close to this subject come back. Without their service, this subject is really unaccustomed to the life of the grassland. This subject hope that great khan will show grace.”
“Presumptuous! You, a eunuch without a penis dare to impose condition on us? Do you believe that we will throw you out to feed the wolves!?!”
Many Xiongnu also slapped the table, stood up and looked viciously at him. The already pale face of Lin Qing seemed to have become paler. He even looked on the verge of collapsing as if he couldn’t cary the weight of his own body. The malice around him made him look at Muke, crying for help.
Muke’s eyes hid the satisfaction that no one could see. It was undeniable that he wanted this kind of effect, let the person in front of him fear him and let him (M) become his only hope. Only this way would he obedient work for him.
These days, Muke deliberately instructed people to alienate Lin Qing, slight him and put his mind under pressure at all times because only like that, he would quickly reach the point where he could be used by him. Now, it seemed that the result was very satisfactory.
Muke smiled with satisfaction, narrowed his eyes and said, “Why are you so rude to Qiansui? Qiansui is my guest and is now someone on friendly terms with us. You should treat him as our best friend.”
“Yes, khan!” Everyone in the tent responded in unison.
As Muke spoke, he looked smilingly at Lin Qing and said, “This khan will let Qiansui’s people go back tomorrow. Don’t worry.”
After he said that, he smiled at Lin Qing and said, “It must’ve been very hard for Qiansui to come from so far. Take a good rest these days and have a taste of our most delicious lamb meat from the grassland.”
Lin Qing repeatedly said yes. Muke said, “Since Qiansui had come to the grassland, you can go visit my main consort who is also your princess. After she heard your news, she constantly has you on her mind. You must go visit her. I believe that she would be very happy after meeting you.”
This was what Situ Ningan asked from Muke these days. Considering that she had served with all her heart the past few days, it was no harm on promising her. Muke thought comfortably with narrowed eyes.
Lin Qing immediately promised to go, but an obscure light flashed by quickly in his eyes.
It was because of her that so many things had happened last time. Lin Qing didn’t like this princess.
