Water Margin people

Chapter 1582 Life and Death

"Hit me hard! Hit me hard!"

Seeing that he could not do it himself, Li Kui yelled at the soldiers who were carrying out the execution.

The soldiers waved their sticks and started beating the Tocharians. The execution took place outside the palace, and many people stayed away when they saw the execution.

After being hit with fifty military sticks, the Tocharians' backs were covered in blood and they lay on the ground unconscious.

"Sprinkle water on him to wake him up and take him inside!"

Bao Xu gave orders to the soldiers.

When several Tocharians were brought into the palace, they could only lie on the ground, unable to move.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please spare my life!"

The Tocharians begged.

"Looks like he's behaved better now!"

Sun Lei looked at the Tocharians and smiled.

"Tell me, who sent you to test me?"

Sun Lei asked while looking at the Tocharians.

"It's our king! He sent us."

The Tocharian spoke immediately.

"Go back and tell him to kneel before me before dawn, or Samarkand will be your fate!"

Sun Lei waved his hand.

The Tocharians were thrown out of the city. The remaining Tocharians did not expect that the people who came out would have such a fate, so they hurriedly took them and fled.

"Your Majesty, the Tocharians were once a powerful tribe in this land, but were later wiped out by the Persians and the Turks. Now they are hiding in the south and are very weak."

Li Zhu looked at Sun Lei and spoke.

"It doesn't matter if we are weak or not, we are here to preach. Those who believe in me will live. This is a good show."

Sun Lei shook his head and said that although Tocharian was weak, it could set an example for these foreign races.

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, the Tocharian king arrived in Samarkand with a large amount of treasures and beauties.

"I am Alaya, the King of Tocharia, and I have come to pay my respects to the King of All Nations, His Majesty the Emperor of Qi."

Aloyeh was very humble and saluted the guard at the city gate.

The guard searched and made sure there was no problem before letting him go.

Aloyeh carried the gifts all the way to the palace gate, but the guards stopped him.

"Your Majesty is still resting, just wait here!"

Xiang Chong spoke to the Tocharians.

Aloyeh naturally didn't dare to say anything, but just waited obediently outside the palace.

Aloyeh was brought into the palace only after the sun had fully risen.

At this time in the palace, the army had already lined up, ready to go.

When Aloyeh saw these elite soldiers, he was shocked and quickly lowered his head to look straight ahead.

"The King of Tocharia, Alaya, pays respect to the Palace Master, the King of All Nations, the Bright Khan!"

Aloyeh bowed deeply to Sun Lei who was sitting on the throne.

"Don't say such nonsense. I'm not Li Shimin. I don't like such empty talk. You don't have to flatter me."

Sun Lei looked at Aloye and said that he didn't care about Tian Kehan ​​at all. If these people submit to Qi, the emperor is the heaven. If these people do not submit, then the emperor is no different from cats and dogs.

"Your Majesty, I have specially brought some treasures and beauties to make you smile!" Seeing the emperor say this, Aloyeh did not dare to be careless and spoke respectfully.

A dozen boxes and a dozen insolent girls were brought in.

The box was opened and it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were of top quality.

The girls' skin is as white as snow, their hair is of different colors, and even their pupils are of different colors. They wear translucent gauze clothes, which is full of exotic temptations.

Aloyeh was very confident in his gifts, as his ancestors had relied on them to please the Tang Kingdom.

And these beauties were all carefully selected by him. The ancestors of the Torohuo people lived in the western part of the Western Regions and had multi-ethnic blood. Later, they moved westward and acquired Persian and Arab bloodlines in the west through marriage. As a result, there are more and more beautiful women among their descendants.

“Are all of you of the same mind?”

Sun Lei looked at the treasures and beauties and sighed. Although he was a man obsessed with money, sex and violence, he would not be bribed by such small things. It would be like a country bumpkin proudly holding a small amount of money to bribe the richest man.

"It's just a little gift!"

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction and was even a little contemptuous, Aloyeh immediately began to explain.

"Alright, I don't have time to talk to you. I came here to conquer and to preach. You can survive if you submit to me and believe in my Qi State!"

Sun Lei looked at Aloy and spoke.

"Submission! Faith!"

Aloyeh was stunned. He had already thought about surrendering. Naturally, they had to surrender when Qi came. But faith was a little difficult. The Tocharians had many different beliefs, and they believed in almost all the nearby religions.

Seeing that Aloy was hesitant, Sun Lei's eyes turned cold. The little Tocharian was not qualified to bargain with him.

"I am willing to submit and lead my people to convert!"

Aloyeh kowtowed and agreed quickly. He was well aware of Qi's deeds in various parts of India and Western Liao, and they could not be stopped at all.

"Remember, it's either life or death! Yang Zhi, I leave it to you!"

After Sun Lei finished speaking, he stood up and left. He had to go to the Caspian Sea.

Aloyeh saluted Sun Lei respectfully, not daring to raise his head. He had only two choices: life or death.

After Sun Lei left, Aloyeh prepared to get up, sweating profusely.

"Go back and hurry up, I don't have much patience. Once my army arrives, I won't waste time talking to you anymore!"

Yang Zhi looked at Aloye and said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I will go back immediately!"

Aloyeh said quickly.

Sun Lei led the team out of the city. All the residents of Samarkand had been incorporated into the slave camp and began their road construction journey.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged!"

Zhu Xi looked at Sun Lei with a smile on his face and handed over a memorial.

Sun Lei took the memorial and took a look at it. Zhu Xi had already read out the teachings of the Imperial Religion to the Samarkand people, and it was welcomed by all the Samarkand people. As for those who were not welcomed and unwilling to convert, their heads had been hung on flagpoles and sent to meet their respective gods.

"Brother, this guy you found is very cruel. He is better at killing people than I am!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and said, Zhu Xi had never killed anyone before he joined the army, but in just half a year, his hands were already stained with blood.

"Master Lu, I am not killing people. I am rescuing them. You know that the religions they believe in are all about deception, deception and oppression. How great is my Imperial Religion. Under the glory of your majesty and the rule of Qi, they will live a better life than ever before!"

Zhu Xi had become familiar with Lu Zhishen and was not afraid of Lu Zhishen at all at this moment. He spoke with a smile.

"You deserve a beating!"

Lu Zhishen only answered with two words. He was not good at speaking, and Zhu Xi was eloquent. How could he be his match?

In the past, Lu Zhishen would definitely not agree to this, but seeing the darkness here and the ignorance of those natives, Lu Zhishen could only let these people "do whatever they want".
