Three Kingdoms: I am not Cao Rui

This was the main hall of the old county government office in Mayi City. This was a serious matter, and for the sake of confidentiality, Budugen had already driven his personal guards and followers out of the courtyard to wait, so there were only three of them here.

As soon as Budugen finished speaking, Xieguini and Suli couldn't help but swallow their saliva, as if they had heard the most surprising thing in their lives.

Chanyu?

The Left Wise King? The Right Wise King?
How could they not know the nobility of the Chanyu? He was truly like a man from heaven. Previously, Kebi Neng had been given the title of Chanyu, and although it was somewhat unworthy of the title, they still envied him for a long time and could not forget it.

It has to be said that the words of the envoy sent by Heqibu did persuade the three Xianbei people here to some extent at a certain moment, and they seemed to make some sense.

Although Kebi Neng was not of noble descent, he was still able to obtain the seal of the Chanyu. And how much worse was Budugen, the grandson of Tan Shihuai, than Kebi Neng?

Can this really be done?

While the three were silent, Suli put his hands into his sleeves and apologized to Budugen and Xieguini:
"I'm not sure whether what He Qibu said will work, but I, Suli, don't seem to have the good fortune to be the Right Wise King. You two uncles and nephews can chat first. I still have some trivial matters in my tribe, so I'll go back first."

After Suli finished speaking, he smiled slightly apologetically, then turned around and was about to leave without stopping for a moment.

Xie Guini was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Suli's forearm and pulled him back.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Suli complained in a low voice.

Xie Guini's face turned cold: "Three of us are discussing something, and we haven't finished talking yet, how can we allow you to leave first!"

"Let's go into the hall and talk!"

Suli scratched his head, helpless, and followed the uncle and nephew in again.

The three of them sat down surrounded by a blanket. Seeing that both of them had gloomy faces, Suli tactfully lowered his head and didn't look at them. He took out a small knife to cut the mutton which was not yet cold.

Suli cut off a piece, dipped it in salt, and put it in his mouth to chew: "This salt is really top-quality. It is different from two years ago. The salt we could eat before was low-quality salt resold by vendors."

Budugen responded: "The Hedong Salt Road is open, thanks to my achievements this year."

Seeing that the two were still talking about salt, Xie Guini could not help but get angry. He clenched his right fist and hammered the felt blanket hard, lowering his voice and saying, "It's already this late, and you're still only concerned with eating mutton!"

Budugen turned to look at Xieguini: "Don't talk about Suli anymore. He won't say anything, so you won't say anything either, right? What do you think about this matter?"

Xie Guini asked, "Uncle, who is the messenger sent by He Qibu? Why don't you call him over so that I can meet him and then we can talk about this matter."

"Very good." After Budugen agreed, he pinched his fingers and put them in his mouth to whistle. The confidant who was waiting outside the courtyard came in and asked for instructions, turned around and left. Not long after, he brought in a man who looked like a Han Chinese and was wearing Xianbei clothes.

"Han Yuanxin has met you all."

This person was of medium build, with a thin face and bright eyes. Just by looking at his appearance, Xie Guini frowned.

"Are you Han Chinese?" Xie Guini asked.

Han Yuanxin chuckled: "The Xianbei can be used by the Han, and the Han can also be used by the Xianbei. They are all the same, so what is the difference between Han and Xianbei?"

Xie Guini then asked: "Since you are a Han Chinese, why did you choose such a name? Don't you know the name of Han Xin, a great general in the early Han Dynasty?"

Han Yuanxin shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "How can people of my generation not accomplish more than the sages before us?"

Budugen moved closer to Suli, leaving a seat for someone to sit in: "Mr. Han, please sit next to me."

"Thank you." Han Yuanxin walked over slowly, sat down cross-legged, and looked quite relaxed.

This person ignored Suli's slightly strange look and Xie Guini's cautious look beside him, looked at Budugen, and continued to speak eloquently:

"I wonder what you have thought about what I discussed with you yesterday? Today, both of you are here, so it's time to make a decision. You are of noble blood, and the position of Chanyu belongs to you alone."

To be honest, Xie Guini has never seen such an arrogant Han person in all these years. I really don't know how much benefits He Qibu has given to Han Yuanxin, and how much confidence they have in doing things.

Xie Guini thought about it, his expression softened, and he asked, "Mr. Han, what will happen if the emperor knows about this?"

Han Yuanxin stroked his beard and smiled, "My Lord, don't you know the general situation of the world? Wei is in trouble at this time, and it is in constant trouble with Shu and Wu. I heard that the emperor and the central army have been in Henan for several days. How can they take care of the things on the grassland?"

"Even if Wei can get away in the future, by then the matter will have been settled, and they will have no choice but to accept it, and just be more respectful. In the past, Kebi Neng violated the border many times, but wasn't he still made Chanyu?"

Xie Guini smiled and clapped his hands: "Mr. Han, you have a great idea. I just don't know what conditions He Qibu promised Mr. Han?" Han Yuanxin bowed to Budugen: "He Qibu only wants the position of Guli King, and I, Han, only ask the Chanyu to kill one person for me."

"Who to kill?" Budugen also became curious. He stood up slightly, picked up the silver pot on the carpet, and wanted to pour a glass of milk wine for Han Yuanxin.

Han Yuanxin snorted lightly: "Fifteen years ago, my brother was killed by Tian Yu because of a personal grudge. If the Chanyu gains power in the future and gives me a thousand troops, I will find an opportunity to kill him!"

Budugen had just reached out to hand the cup to Han Yuanxin when he was shocked by what he said, and some of the milk wine in the cup spilled out.

Han Yuanxin smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, not worth the Chanyu's ears..."

Before he finished saying the word "ear", Xie Guini, who was sitting next to Han Yuanxin, suddenly stood up and drew out the scimitar from his waist. The blade drew a bright arc and instantly crossed Han Yuanxin's neck.

Several streams of blood suddenly spurted out, splashing half of Budugen's body with blood, and the felt blanket under his seat was also stained with spots of red.

Han Yuanxin was so frightened that he threw away the cup full of milk wine in his hand and reached out to his neck weakly with his hands, but he couldn't reach it. After grabbing in the air several times, he finally fell to the ground weakly.

Budugen stood up suddenly, and pointed at Xieguini with trembling lips: "You, why did you kill him? How should I tell Heqibu?"

Xie Guini carefully wiped the blood-stained knife on the hem of his robe several times, and only after he was sure that all the blood was wiped clean did he put the knife back into the scabbard, stand up and look at Budugen:
"Uncle wants to explain to He Qibu, but not to the court?"

"I..." Budugen lost half of his breath in an instant, and his raised hand dropped down. He looked at Xie Guini, then looked down at Han Yuanxin who was still alive, and stamped his feet vigorously and said, "What should I do?!"

Xie Guini said calmly: "Daixian, Tuyin, Xiangping, my uncle and I have been to these places. How powerful the Wei army was, has my uncle really forgotten? Your Majesty is as beautiful as a god, have you forgotten it?"

The more Xie Guini spoke, the more excited his tone became.

"He Qibu is such a villain, how can we trust his words? Lord Tian sent a Confucian scholar to my tribe, and the first time he taught me, he taught me what Fenglangjuxu and Leshi Yanran meant. Once this happens, it will be useless even if my uncle flees to Mobei! Do we have to be exterminated as a family?"

Budugen stood there in a daze, but the milk wine and blood on his body mixed together and flowed down from his lapel in small streams, which made him look a little funny.

"What the hell is this?" Budugen was extremely annoyed and growled with his hands spread out.

Xie Guini sighed softly, lowered his head, untied his sword from his waist, stuffed it into Budugen's hand, and said in a steady voice:

"What happened? He Qibu wanted to rebel, and sent an envoy here, but was killed by my uncle. That's what happened!"

"Uncle, please go and report. I will go back to the department first."

After saying that, Xie Guini clapped his hands, turned around and strode outside. After he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside, and then he closed the door heavily.

"Ho...ho..."

Han Yuanxin lay on the ground, holding his neck and struggling. He could no longer make any sound and his body was twisted like a bow.

Suli looked up at the anxious and helpless Budugen, thought for a moment, stuffed the mutton sliced ​​with a knife into his mouth, ate it clean and then wiped the grease off it, stood up and moved forward, and sat next to Han Yuanxin.

The knife in his hand instantly stabbed into Han Yuanxin's neck, and he cut the man's throat as cleanly and neatly as killing a sheep in the army. Then, like cutting meat, the blade followed the bone seams and removed the head in a few strokes.

Suli held the head in both hands, placed it at Budugen's feet, and said softly:
"This man was killed by you and me. He was an enemy of Lord Tian. Lord Tian saved my life. When you report your achievements to Lord Tian, ​​don't forget to include my contribution and ask for credit together!"

"I'm going back to the ministry too."

Suli put away his knife, stood up and walked out.

Budugen's dream of becoming the Chanyu had just begun when it was shattered by his nephew Xieguini and Suli. Frustration, fear, anger, shame and other emotions surged into his heart. Budugen strode to catch up with Suli and trotted to the outside of the government office.

Xie Guini had just mounted his horse and, together with the ten horsemen following behind him, he galloped out of the city without looking back.

Their leader was covered in blood, and the guards were a little puzzled. They looked inside the courtyard gate and found Suli walking out leisurely behind him.

There were four people in the yard, and the three Xianbei nobles were all fine. So this was the blood of the Han man?
Budugen sighed and said, "Han Yuanxin was the envoy of Heqibu. Heqibu intended to rebel, and Han Yuanxin was killed by me. Go and get his head quickly, and bring a hundred riders with me to Dai County. I want to report this to Lord Tian in person!"

"Ah? Going to Dai County?" The guard was puzzled for a moment: "When are you leaving?"

"Go now!" Budugen was furious and slapped his guard on the back with his right hand: "Go now, go now!"

"Yes, yes." The guards responded repeatedly, feeling a little puzzled. (End of this chapter)
