Chapter 2 Rejection

At this time, Li Ke naturally didn't know the situation on Jie Li's side, and he was still sitting in the carriage honestly. Even if he had known it for a long time, he had no choice but to sigh, "The person is sitting in the carriage, and the pot comes from the sky."

When Li Ke learned about Jie Li's summons, he was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, before he left the Tang Dynasty, Jie Li actually showed off his might. However, since Li Ke was already a charity, he was still aware of being a proton. He immediately responded and took Su Dingfang and went to the front army where Jie Li was.

"Be careful, Jie Li's expression seems to be wrong." Su Dingfang's eyes and eyes were clever. He found Jie Li's face from afar, worried that Li Ke would not be able to tell the difference, so he reminded Li Ke.

In Su Dingfang's eyes, Li Ke was naturally the spoiled prince. He was raised in the palace since he was a child. Everyone in the palace respected him. He had never seen the eyes of others. He was afraid that Li Ke would not know the current situation at this time, and he would still play with the prince's temper and suffer a loss.

Su Dingfang's meaning was naturally clear. Li Ke nodded with a smile and said softly to Su Dingfang: "General Su's meaning is Li Ke's own considerations, General Su, but please be relieved."

Su Dingfang listened to Li Ke's words and looked down at Li Ke. Although Li Ke didn't know what Jie Li suddenly wanted to see him, his expression was still calm and he was not panicked. Su Dingfang's original heart was relieved.

It is said that Su Dingfang and Li Ke have not been familiar with each other for a long time, and it is only a few days to make a decision. But in just a few days, Su Dingfang occasionally feels that Li Ke's performance seems to be much more mature than his age.

Li Ke, under the gaze of many high-ranking Turkic officials, came to Jie Li Khan's horse, and Li Ke bowed and said, "Li Ke, the King of Shu in the Great Tang Dynasty, see Khan."

Li Ke is young and is a little taller than his peers, but he is still a child in the eyes of adults, especially when Li Ke stands in front of a tall horse, he looks particularly young.

Jie Li stood on his horse and looked at Li Ke with a high apology. There was anger and condescending look in his eyes. He said proudly to Li Ke: "Since you are a proton, why don't you kneel when you see Ben Khan?"

Li Ke knew that Jie Li's face looked ugly, and he was probably going to make things difficult for him when summoned at this time, but Li Ke didn't expect that Jie Li would be like this as soon as he spoke.

Li Ke stood in front of Jie Li's horse, suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, looking at Jie Li with a calm expression, bowed and smiled: "The Tang Dynasty and the Turks are brotherly alliances. Li Ke is a charity, and is here to seek peace for the two countries. Not to surrender. Why did Li Ke kneel down when he sees Khan?"

Jie Li knew that Li Ke was young and wanted to intimidate him with just one word, but he didn't expect that Li Ke was not panicked at all, but instead replied to him lightly or seriously.

Jie Li pointed at Li Ke and shouted, "You are in the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there are rules of the Tang Dynasty. But when you arrive in me, Turkic, you have to follow the rules of my Turkic. In the Turkic, I am the king. No matter who comes here, if I want him to kneel down, he has to kneel!"

Jie Li has always been conceited, and his words are extremely arrogant. If the two armies were facing each other, Li Ke might have retorted bluntly, but now he is dependent on others, Li Ke does not have to be as good as Jie Li in his mouth.

Li Ke bowed a little and said calmly: "Although Li Ke was sent to the Turks as a vassal, Li Ke is a Tang Dynasty native. He should treat Khan according to my Tang Dynasty etiquette. I hope Khan will forgive me."

Li Ke did not deliberately oppose Jie Li, but Li Ke knew that if he knelt down today, then he, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, would have no dignity in the Turks, and his life in the future would be difficult.

Jie Li is like a victorious person, so he naturally doesn't care about Li Ke's thoughts.

However, Li Ke's appearance was somewhat similar to Li Shimin's appearance. When Jie Li looked at Li Ke's neither humble nor arrogant, he thought of Li Shimin on the banks of the Wei River, and his anger came to his heart.

Jie Li held a horse whip and pointed at Li Ke and said, "The Emperor of Tang is full of tricks and dare not fight against me Turkic warriors. He only uses some tricks. Unexpectedly, you father and son are just like that."

Li Ke suddenly understood Jie Li's words.

No wonder Jie Li suddenly attacked. He must have learned that Li Shimin had doubts about his military plan. He was furious and had no choice but to take Li Shimin thousands of miles away, so he naturally exhaled his anger on him.

Facing this pot that came from thousands of miles away, Li Ke smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'There is no constant force in the war, and the water is no constant form.' The Khan's army is approaching, and the troops in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty are empty, so the father's emperor is also helpless."

At present, Li Ke was in the Turkic army, and the position of fish and meat was clearly visible. Li Ke's words were already tolerant, but Li Ke's words were different in the ears of Jie Li, who was paranoid, as if Li Ke was mocking him for not knowing the art of war.

Jie Li said: "I don't know what kind of bullshit military tactics are, but I only know that my Turkic army is invincible in the world. Although Li Shimin escaped by chance this time, if there is a next time, I will definitely take Chang'an and capture Li Shimin alive. If you kneel down and worship Ben Khan, Ben Khan may be able to grant you the title of King of Tang in the future without losing wealth, otherwise you and Li Shimin will be a prisoner under the ranks."

Li Ke was full of disdain after hearing Jie Li's words.

Jie Li was arrogant and could only see the strong Turkic soldiers and horses at present, but he didn't know that the Turkic were already in danger behind his back. In a few years, let alone going south to compete with the Tang Dynasty, it was unknown whether he could maintain the position of the King of the North.

Li Ke said: "Khan and our Tang Dynasty have signed an alliance to be a brotherly country and will not invade each other. It is probably inappropriate for Khan to speak like this now."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Jie Li seemed to hear some ridiculous joke and said, "A child who can't even ride a horse can't stand to blame Ben Khan? The so-called convoy is nothing more than empty talk. You are actually relying on that empty paper to protect yourself. It's really ridiculous!"

Li Ke looked as usual and replied calmly: "No one can stand without trust, but Khan should do it himself, so as not to lose the hearts of the Turkic people."

Li Ke looked at the unruly Jie Li, although he spoke plainly, his heart was full of contempt.

Jie Li is now full of complacent ambitions, but after a few years, the Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition Army heads north, and it is himself who really wants to rely on the alliance to protect himself.

Li Ke's attitude suddenly angered Jie Li, who was already interested in the uprising. Jie Li suddenly drew his sword and pointed at Li Ke and said, "What can I do if I kill you now!"

As soon as Jie Li's knife was unsheathed, Li Ke's face suddenly sank, and sweat was oozing out of his palms.

Li Ke himself lost his mind whether Jie Li really had murderous intentions or just wanted to intimidate him.

Behind Li Ke, Su Dingfang also stared at the sword in Jie Li's hand, thinking about how he could protect Li Ke if Jie Li took action seriously.
