Chapter 177: The lost dog, let it die
"You... are you a servant beside Tang Jian?" Zhao Deyan said in surprise.
Li Zaigu glanced at Zhao Deyan with a slight tilt, and a sneer passed by, without saying a word.
Only then did Zhao Deyan truly understand that the so-called Tang army escorting Tang Jian and An Xiuren were all elite soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty. The purpose was to take advantage of the peace talks to sneak into Tieshan and cooperate with the Tang army outside Tieshan.
He now realized that it was too late. As Jie Li Khan's military advisor, he could not beat the capable ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty.
"General, since you and I have known each other for a while, please forgive Deyan's life. Deyan is willing to be a cow and horse for the general in the next life!" Zhao Deyan asked.
"Next life?" Li Zaigu sneered disdainfully, "Why would I be better for this general to spare your life in the next life?"
Zhao Deyan's face twitched a few times, and with a sad face, he hurriedly said: "Deyan was anxious for a moment and said the wrong thing. Deyan is willing to be a cow and a horse for the general for the rest of his life."
"You can make a cow and a horse for me? Do you know how to carry a plow? Do you know how to carry a man?" Li Zaigu sarcastically said, "I think you are almost the same as being a dog!"
Zhao Deyan's face suddenly became ugly, and he felt angry, so he naturally did not dare to show it.
"If you want to be my general's dog, I don't want it either." Li Zaigu continued to mock, "People like you are not right. It should be said that beasts like you are only worthy of being foreign dogs."
Faced with Li Zaigu's humiliation, Zhao Deyan was angry and dared not speak out.
"If you want to be a foreigner's dog, that's your choice. I don't want to pay attention to it, but you actually helped Jie Li to harm his compatriots. In order to please your master, you even use the body of your compatriots as a shield. It's crazy, and it's worse than a pig or a dog!" Li Zaigu's tone became cold.
Zhao Deyan couldn't help but shivered when he saw the cold murderous intent of Li Zaigu's eyes.
"The general scolds him right, it is better to be a pig or a dog. I know that he is wrong and should not do things for Jie Li. I am a cheap life and it is not worth killing the general. I beg the general to spare me." Zhao Deyan knelt down and kowtowed, like a dog with wagging his tail, begging for mercy, and not any dignity.
Li Zaigu was even more despised when he saw Zhao Deyan like this.
"You are right, you are indeed not worthy of this general's killing." Li Zaigu said contemptuously, "If General Ban killed you with his own hands, it would be a waste of this general's hand."
"Yes, yes, killing me will cause the general's hand to get dirty." Zhao Deyan said hurriedly.
"Okay, I won't kill you." Li Zaigu said coldly.
Zhao Deyan was delighted, but he didn't expect the other party to spare him like this.
"However, if I want this general not to kill you, there are still conditions."
Zhao Deyan felt suffocated and could only say: "General, please say, you can agree to any conditions under."
At this time, he had no choice but to say so.
"The conditions of this general are very simple..." Li Zaigu said deliberately in a lengthening tone, "That is to commit suicide and apologize!"
Zhao Deyan's heart suddenly seemed to fall into the ice cave, and it was a lot colder.
The other party is playing tricks on himself from beginning to end, and he is simply trying to die by himself.
"General, please spare me." Zhao Deyan hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "By the way, I know a lot about Jie Li. If the general spare me, I will inform the general of all Jie Li's secrets."
Li Zaigu's face sank and said, "Are you talking to me about conditions?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Zhao Deyan said hurriedly, "I just want to exchange Jie Li's secret for a cheap life."
"If it were before, I would have been interested in Jie Li's secrets, but now Jie Li is a loser, and I have no interest in his secrets." Li Zaigu said disdainfully.
Zhao Deyan's face turned gray.
"Pohu, have you slaughtered livestock before as a hunter?" Li Zaigu suddenly told Min Pohu behind him.
"Go back to the general and kill him!" Min Pohu was stunned for a moment before answering.
He didn't understand why Li Zaigu asked such a question at this time.
Li Zaigu suddenly asked Min Pohu about this question, and the people present also felt that they didn't understand.
"How do you usually slaughter livestock?" Li Zaigu asked.
"The slaughtering methods for different livestock are different." Min Pohu didn't think much about it.
"Oh?" Li Zaigu stared at Min Pohu, with questions in his eyes.
"Some livestock must bleed before slaughtering, some livestock can be killed with one knife, and some livestock must be peeled." Min Pohu thought.
"How should livestock like those who frame their compatriots and treat their compatriots as shields?" Li Zaigu said this, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhao Deyan who was kneeling on the ground.
Min Pohu understood what Li Zaigu meant, glanced at Zhao Deyan, and smiled evilly and said, "For this kind of livestock, the best way is to peel it alive."
Zhao Deyan could have long heard that the so-called livestock mentioned by Li Zaigu and Min Pohu was himself. The more he listened, the more he became afraid, and the more he heard, the more his body trembled, the more he heard.
"Okay, let's follow what you said." Li Zaigu's mouth slightly raised, and a cold smile passed by.
This smile made Zhao Deyan feel trembling and his body trembled even harder.
"God of your life, General, General, General!" Zhao Deyan lay on the ground and hit the ground with his head violently.
In fact, the ground was covered with snow, and his head was not broken.
"Give me your life? Humph! Why didn't you spare those who used as shields to block my Tang army?" Before Li Zaigu could answer, Min Pohu said angrily.
Zhao Deyan was speechless, his whole body trembled, and he shivered like a sieve.
"Yes, kill this livestock!" the others shouted.
When Zhao Deyan saw the surging feelings, he knew that he would die today. The blood in his body seemed to be condensed and unable to flow, and his heart was twisted by a pliers.
Li Zaigu signaled everyone to calm down, and then stared at Zhao Deyan: "This kind of person is not worth killing, so as not to get dirty."
After pausing for a moment, Li Zaigu turned to Min Pohu and said, "Pohu, tie this livestock to that small hill, whether it is life or death, depends on his own fortune."
Li Zaigu said, looking at a small hill two hundred steps away.
Min Pohu said "As for the order", then jumped off the horse with a soldier, put a knife on Zhao Deyan's neck, escorted him to a small hill, and tied him to a large stone.
Zhao Deyan's call for heaven should not be called "the earth is not effective", he can only wait for death.
In this place, even if you don’t starve to death, you will freeze to death; even if you don’t freeze to death, you will be eaten by the hungry wolf sooner or later.
Such a way of dying is better than just letting the Tang army kill him.
At least he will be killed by the Tang army. Unlike now, he will suffer alive before he dies.
Li Zaigu just didn't let people like Zhao Deyan die so happily, and it would be a pity for people like Zhao Deyan to die a thousand times and ten thousand times.
"General, will Zhao Deyan be rescued by Turkic deserters here?" After Min Pohu came back, he asked Li Zaigu with some concerns.
"No." Li Zaigu said without thinking, "The Turkic deserters nowadays don't care about others at all, and there are no more Turkic deserters nearby. Even if a Turkic deserter meets Zhao Deyan, he will not save him. The Turkic deserters are eager to kill Zhao Deyan."
Min Pohu nodded in understanding.
