The men who had gone after Ashley had not yet returned, but their men were comforting old Magnaak.

"Don't worry, it's Shales who chases him, he will definitely be able to chase Ashley back!"

Hearing the name of Shales, Manjak really relieved himself and closed his eyes in relief. Cui Yin only knew that this Shales was Maniak's eldest son, and now judging from his attitude, Shales seemed to have something outstanding that could reassure him.

Suddenly, Manyak opened his eyes again, searching through the crowd around him, until his gaze fell on Cui Yin, he breathed a sigh of relief again, and then said hurriedly:

"Honorable envoy, I want to meet the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty in three days!"

"Three days later?"

Cui Yin was a little puzzled, not knowing why Manyak changed his itinerary seven days later, but four days earlier.

"We Sogdians have been living in the land of abundant water and grass north of Khorasan for more than 100 years, and the Great Cannibals have been cruel and oppressive in every way, and today, these Great Food Butchers have slaughtered our brother tribes, and although I am physically disabled, I have also made up my mind to fight to the death against the Great Cannibals to avenge those brothers and sisters who died in vain. ”

At this point, Manjak was short of breath because of his agitation, and he had to stop, and only when his breath was even before he said again:

"But our Sogdians who live here have always been like sand scattered everywhere, and they have no strength to fight against the great cannibals, and now, now I implore the honorable envoy, please explain to the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty our urgent desire to serve, and only ask for justice for us!"

Hearing this, Cui Yin wanted to pat his thigh and happily agreed. But he suddenly thought that he should not show his hole cards in everything, even if the prime minister would be overjoyed when he knew about it, he must maintain a minimum of reserve.

However, he was not far from playing those routines of pretending to be embarrassed, and only replied sincerely:

"Please rest assured, old chief, I will truthfully explain the situation of your ministry to the prime minister!"

Manyak's eyes were full of eager anticipation as he stared at Cui Yin, and muttered:

"That's good, that's good!"

With that, he closed his eyes tiredly.

Ashley's affair obviously irritated him, and the problem of physical weakness was also revealed.

Cui Yin knew that Manyak's body was far from being as healthy as he appeared, and his most beloved son was suddenly suspected, so that he had no intention of disguising it again, so that he suddenly became so weak.

In the case of Manyak, it is obviously not suitable for long journeys, but fortunately, Sylvan is not far from here. In fact, Sylvan was a small city on the steppe, and was once used as a surveillance officer for the barbarians of northern Khorasan and as an important transit point for mutual trade.

It was only after the black-clothed food replaced the white-clothed food that a more brutal repressive strategy was adopted against the northern barbarians, and trade was cut off due to the blockade, and Shirfan gradually became desolate and dilapidated.

Nevertheless, the herders here are still accustomed to going to Sylvan to trade their necessities, especially the necessary iron tools.

It's just that because of the blockade of the big cannibals, they can only secretly trade some limited supplies.

This has made their lives increasingly difficult, and many have even begun to migrate again, looking for more suitable pastures in the East.

However, there were powerful Khazars in the north, who were as fierce and cruel as the Great Cannibals, and the Sogdians who survived in the gap did not have many easy choices.

It was at this time that the Tang Dynasty army reached Khorasan, which gave them hope that perhaps the Tang people were the messengers of the gods they had been waiting for for a long time to deliver them.

It was out of anxiety about his health that Manjak completely let go of his reserve and begged Cui Yin, hoping to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty and use the power of the Tang Dynasty to find a safe land for his subordinates to graze.

This kind of thinking of his was quickly understood by Cui Yin. At the same time, Cui Yin couldn't help but secretly sigh that before leaving, he had made a lot of preparations, planning to use reason and money to dispel the Sogdians' concerns, so as to reach an alliance between the prime minister and the leaders of the tribes.

Judging from the reaction of the Shannan tribes to the Ye'er tribe today, this Magnaak has a lot of prestige among the Sogdians, and with the support of this person, the previous plan has been at least eighty percent successful.

According to the rough statistics of the Shenwu army, there were at least two or three hundred thousand Sogdians living in northern Khorasan, and although they were only a few tribes living here, not as numerous as the Persians and cannibals in the central and southern regions, it was precisely because of this that they could be won over more easily.

At the same time, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with, otherwise the Great Cannibals would not have had to go to great lengths to restrict and suppress them for more than a hundred years.

The person sent back to deliver the letter returned to Ye'erbu the next day, and conveyed Qin Jin's instructions to Cui Yin, agreeing to make an alliance with the Shannan and Shanbei tribes in seven days, and also agreeing and welcoming Maniak to leave for Yeerfan first.

After learning of Qin Jin's attitude, Manjak immediately organized his manpower, taking the nobles of the Ye'er tribe and the envoys sent by the Shannan tribe to contact him, preparing to rush to Yeerfan first.

Now the only thing that worries Maniak is his son Ashley, the eldest son has been chased out for a day and a night, and there is no news back yet, but the overall situation is like this, it is impossible for him to give up meeting the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty to stay and wait for this reckless son.

The next morning, when the sun had just risen, a team of thousands of people left the Yeerbu camp and drove mightily to the city of Sylvan.

Ashley licked his lips, he trembled with excitement, and after two days of running, he finally chased the trail of the Great Cannibal.

Just now, he personally interrogated the captured Great Food Ranger, and after getting the information he wanted, he cut off the man's head without mercy.

At this time, the voice of his brother Shales came from behind him.

"Ashley, my father is angry with your reckless behavior, if you don't go back with me, do you want to ......make my father angry?"

Ashley interrupted Shales' persuasion.

"Father is old and timid, he doesn't allow us to go to the big cannibal to take revenge, just because he is afraid that we will have an accident, but sooner or later the eagle will fly to the sky and fight with the enemies, can he still protect us for the rest of our lives?"

"You ......"

Shales apparently agreed with Ashley's words, but he also knew the task of the trip, so he said:

"The total number of people you and I brought is less than a thousand, and there are nearly 20,000 cannibals, so recklessly going up to them to take revenge is to send them to death! This is the choice of stupid people, the real eagle will wait for the opportunity to move, choose the most favorable time to attack the enemy!"
