Chapter 63: The Messenger (Part 2)

  The messenger's expression hesitated, and Qian Buli's arrogance reached its peak. When had he ever given anyone a chance to explain? But the fact that one has to bow their head under another's roof is still known by many people. The messenger opened his mouth, but still said nothing.

  "General Wei's messenger, ah..." Qian Buli revealed a fake smile: "That can't be taken lightly. Do you want me to get a chair for you? Or... would you like to sit here?"

  "No need, sir, you're too kind." The herald looked both helpless and at a loss, his bonds not even removed, the so-called "please sit" was of course not benevolent.

  "Where is your transfer order?" Qian Buli didn't bother saying more.

  "On him." The herald glanced at his companion and immediately looked away, unable to bear the sight of his companion's wretched state.

  Du Bing searched around and found an envelope painted with fire lacquer and a command arrow, then knocked the half-dead person unconscious with the hilt of his sword and walked forward to hand over the envelope and the command arrow to Qian Budili.

  Qian Buli took the envelope, tore it open, and pulled out a letter to read carefully. Wei Chiyun's wording in the letter was very polite, first highly praising Qian Buli's military achievements, then emphasizing that he had already reported Qian Buli's merits to the Imperial Court, and the reward would arrive soon. In the end, Wei Chiyun briefly explained that the Imperial Court had decided to avenge its past grievances and would attack the Flying Eagle tribe in the near future. Wei Chiyun required Qian Buli to lead his troops to Jiajiguan to coordinate with him in battle.

  Covered with Wei Chi Feng Yun's official seal and his golden arrow, these things have a great influence on any orthodox Zhou dynasty general, but to Qian Bu Li, they are no different from grass roots and grass clubs.

  Qian Buli finished reading the official document, smiled and shook the letter, then placed it on the candle flame to ignite it. He waved his hand: "Take these two guys out and bury them in a hole."

  The herald's face changed drastically, but he still didn't dare to shout loudly: "Sir! What are you trying to do? I hope you think carefully, disobeying the imperial edict and killing the herald will lead to confiscation of property and extermination of the clan! Even if you don't care about yourself, you should consider your subordinates!" His words were undoubtedly intended to drive a wedge between Qian Buli and Du Bing, Wang Rui.

  Du Bing chuckled: "Sir, no need to bother, just throw them into the valley below and even ghosts can't find them!" Du Bing clearly expressed his stance, with a hint in his words that it was pointless to continue stirring up trouble, as they were on the same side as Commander.

  "Alright." Qian Bule smiled and nodded at Du Bing, then turned to the messenger: "You say I disobeyed the general's order? But...I don't think I've ever received any such order! Killing the messenger? That's even more of a joke. Who saw it? Besides, what do you have to prove that you're a messenger?"

  "Here is your transfer order!"

  "Did you see what orders he gave me?" Qian Buli turned to Du Bing and Wang Rui.

  "No!" Du Bing and Wang Rui shook their heads together.

  The messenger's face suddenly turned pale, and he understood Qian Buli's meaning. When he received the order from Wei Chi Fengyun's hand, he still thought it was a very easy task. Although the other party and his own party were opponents, he held the imperial general's order in his hand, and the headache must be the other party. Who would have thought that a dignified leader would act so shamelessly, and he didn't even prepare at all.

  "Sir, don't think you can secretly kill us without anyone knowing. We have companions waiting for our news in Chi Shui Town, and if we don't return... Hmph! You also know what the consequences will be!" The messenger, in a state of panic, fabricated a lie to intimidate Qian Bu Li.

  "What's the big deal? Haha... Don't forget, this is my territory!" Qian said with a smirk: "Du Bing, bring his sword over and let me take a look."

  Du Bing walked over and drew out the long sword of the messenger, handing it to Qian Buli.

  Qian Buli played with the long sword of the messenger for a while, and smiled slightly: "Since you think I only dare to kill you secretly, then I'll give you a surprise, see how I will kill you openly." After finishing speaking, Qian Buli flipped his wrist, and the long sword pierced into his own ribs.

  Qian Buli didn't have a tendency to self-inflict wounds, the long sword stuck under his ribs and passed through, afterwards Qian Buli used his arm to clamp down on the blade, swaying unsteadily as he stood up, furiously roaring: "What great audacity! Actually daring to assassinate this commander, come here! Take him down for me!!"

  When Sun Zhongde and several others rushed in from outside the tent, the messenger had already been knocked to the ground by Du Bing and Wang Rui. A large amount of blood was gushing out of his mouth and nose. Du Bing and Wang Rui were both seasoned killers, their fists and feet not something ordinary people could withstand. The messenger, despite having some skills, was beaten until he almost fainted.

  Wang Rui secretly cut the rope on the messenger's body with a dagger to make it more realistic, Qian Buli looked at Wang Rui's small movements with great appreciation, while Du Bing simply raised his thumb in front of his chest towards Wang Rui.

  "Take these two people away and behead them!"

  Sun Zhongde, accompanied by three personal guards, pounced on them like a starving tiger, dragging the two messengers towards the exit. The messenger who had been conversing with Qian Buli struggled and shouted: "I am the prince's personal guard! You, a lowly commander, have no right to dispose of me! You are not qualified!" When a person is about to die, their instinct for survival will naturally make them put all their bets on it, regardless of how slim the chances are.

  "Haha, you still have a lot of capital! " Qian didn't leave, sneered and gave Du Bing a wink.

  Du Bing walked over and searched the messenger from head to toe, turning out a golden tiger-head emblem. Du Bing then handed the emblem to Qian Buli, turned around and kicked the messenger's throat with one foot. The human throat is originally vulnerable, this kick went down and immediately broke the messenger's trachea, the messenger let out a cry, and immediately fainted.

  Sun Zhongde's several personal guards dragged the two unconscious messengers out of the commander's tent, Qian Buli carefully examined the golden tiger head emblem for a moment, and looked at Du Bing and Wang Rui with inquiring eyes.
