Chapter 60: Half of the troops are withdrawn

"It's okay, it's okay, uncle, come with me to rest for a while." Gardi made a gesture of invitation and took Dong Ping into the camp.

The two had just sat down and had not had time to speak, when there was a sudden commotion outside.

A wolf-looking cavalryman knelt outside and shouted, "Great Khan! Something is wrong! The two young masters and young ladies were taken captive by the cavalry of the fifth prince! ”

When Gardi and Dong Ping heard this, their smiles immediately froze on their faces. Dong Ping's figure swayed slightly, his face was pale, and there was only one thought left in his mind, what if his sister heard the news? Brother-in-law has already had an accident, and the three children are her life @ Genzi.

Gardi's eyes were also red, and he walked out quickly and asked in a loud voice, "What the hell is going on, tell me the whole thing!" ”

Chapter 60: Half of the troops are withdrawn

The soldier's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly bowed his head and explained the whole story.

It turned out that after Gardi led the troops away, Dawn was bored, and she was so active that she shouted to go out on horseback. Brother Ming and Brother Qi were naturally not worried about her alone, and they felt sorry for their sister, so they went with them, and the generals who stayed behind were too conceited and relaxed their vigilance because they were proud that their new Khan King had unified most of the grasslands. When he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, he was shocked to realize that something was wrong, but the distance was too far for the horse to chase, so he could only watch the three brothers and sisters being kidnapped by thieves.

Gardi was very annoyed when he heard this, and almost ordered all the generals who stayed in the royal city to be dealt with martial, but in the end he barely held back, and now the first task is to rescue his three younger siblings.

Dong Ping, who was closely behind Gardi, was also trying to control his anxious feelings. He looked at Gardi, his expression serious and even a hint of pleading: "I can't let my sister know about this matter!" We must find a way to rescue Brother Qi, Brother Ming, and Dawn! ”

Galdi didn't want to rescue his younger siblings quickly, but although his stepmother said that he had left Zongzheng Mansion, he was still trapped in Kyoto, once he withdrew from the army, how could the young emperor send his stepmother back? How can the revenge of the tragic death of the father-in-law find out the murderer behind it?

Dong Ping didn't think so far in his heart, his sister was already too sad to lose her brother-in-law, even if she didn't show too much affection on her face on weekdays, but he knew the suffering she was suffering. If you let her know that the three children also had an accident, I'm afraid that she will go crazy, so she must save the three siblings!

And Gardi is the new Khan king of the steppe, and he believes that Gardi will have a way to deal with the five princes.

The two men were silent in thought, and there was silence all around them except for the sound of the wind. Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the two men followed the sound, and a cavalryman was approaching the camp, and before the horse could even stop, he turned over and jumped down.

Running wildly, the cavalryman raised his hand and threw a token to the gatekeeper, and quickly ran through the camp gate to Gardi, knelt down on one knee, and shouted, "Report! The Great Khan, the fifth prince sent troops to send back Miss Chenxi's jade pendant. The message said that if the Great Khan did not lead his troops to withdraw from the border of Daqi, the lives of the two young masters and young ladies would be difficult to protect! ”

Dong Ping and Gal hurriedly took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the piece that Chenxi had worn on his chest since he was a child.

"Damn!" If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly learned that his stepmother was in trouble, he hurried over to the rescue. Otherwise, the five princes were destroyed in one fell swoop at that time, and how could there be today.

Gardi clenched the jade pendant of the morning light, the green tendons on his forehead burst high, and he was angry in his heart and wanted to eat the fifth prince alive. But instead of thinking of the cavalry's words, he tried his best to suppress his monstrous anger, and asked coldly, "The fifth prince asked Ben Khan to withdraw his troops?" ”

"Yes! The fifth prince asked the Great Khan to lead his troops out of the Great Qi border, otherwise he would take the lives of the three young masters and young ladies. ”

This fifth prince caught Brother Ming, they actually wanted him to withdraw from the army? Isn't it his goal to take the opportunity to grab the territory?

Gardi couldn't understand what the fifth prince had to do with Daqi, but the other party would inevitably have some plans if he asked for this, and if he gave in lightly, he would not necessarily be threatened in the future. No, he will never retreat from this soldier!

"Gather all the generals, and discuss the military tent!" Gardi gave an order with an expressionless face, turned around and said to Dong Ping, "Uncle go to the camp to rest for a while first, I will definitely rescue my younger brothers and sisters!" ”

Dong Ping knew what was going on on the grassland, and he was not an outsider to interfere, so he nodded and walked towards the tent just now, praying in his heart that the three children would be safe.

In the big tent in the middle of the barracks, all the henchmen and generals were regathered. Gardi stared gloomily at the map of the distribution of forces on the table, which marked that the territory of the five princes was not large, and he regained the territory from the most difficult to start, giving the others a kind of deterrent. The fifth prince was the weakest one in his cognition, but he didn't expect him to capsize in this small gutter.

There were three generals present, namely Batu, Uqien, and Amso. Sometimes they stared at the map on the table, and sometimes they looked at their Khan King, their expressions a little complicated. They had just learned the news of Chenxi's arrest, and they knew that this discussion was mainly about how to save people, but after a cup of tea, the Great Khan looked at the map and was silent, which was really confusing.

Batu and Ukien glanced at each other and motioned for each other to speak with their eyes, but neither of them dared for fear of disrupting the king's train of thought.

Finally, Gardi came back to his senses, his slender fingers were distinct, pointing to the territory of the fifth prince, and Yan said, "Everyone already knows that this king's younger brother and sister were captured by the fifth prince, and the fifth prince asked us to retreat, but this soldier is resolutely unable to retreat!" This king decided to lead half of the iron horsemen back to the grassland to confuse the five princes, during which time you find someone to pretend to be this king to stay here, and continue to put pressure on Daqi until they send this king's stepmother over! Other matters are not allowed to act without the king's order, and here they are temporarily led by Ukien. ”

Batu frowned lightly and said, "Master, let me go back to the grassland with you!" To the outside world, it can be claimed that I have taken people to the surrounding area to explore and cruise, so it is not easy to arouse suspicion when I transfer troops to leave. ”

Gardi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and then looked at Uqien and Amuso and said, "This king believes that even if there are only 10,000 iron horsemen, you can scare those fools from making a single move, so you will not let this king down." ”

"Yes! Please rest assured. The two generals listened with enthusiasm and responded loudly.

Gardi's sharp eyes stared at the territory of the five princes, his fingers tapped on the table, and he made up his mind, "Without further ado, this king will set off now, and the rest will be handled by Uqien and Amuso, Batu, you go and lead the troops." ”

With that, he walked out of the tent with his helmet in his hand, Batu hurried to arrange for the men, and Ukien began to look for soldiers of similar shape to start the plan for a stand-in.

Gardi lifted the cowhide door curtain and walked into the small tent on the side, Dong Ping stood up as soon as he heard the movement, and looked nervously at the nephew who came in. "How's it going, are you sure you'll be able to save your three children?"

Gardy briefly comforted his uncle, and then briefly explained his plan. Dong Ping understood the general plan, but he still had some doubts in his heart. If you go back like this, can you really make the other party believe that they have withdrawn? If it turns out to be a hoax, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.

Gardi saw Dong Ping's concern, patted his chest and promised, "Uncle, even if you want my life, I will save my younger brothers and sisters." You go back first, and don't talk to your stepmother about this so quickly for the time being. ”

Dong Ping nodded, trying to make his facial expression look natural. Soon, under the personal escort of Gardi, he got into the carriage and left the camp.

Seeing Dong Ping's carriage walking away, Gardi buckled his helmet with a cold face, and his jet-black armor shone coldly in the sun. Half an hour later, half of the cavalry and horses in the camp were gone.

In the winter steppe, the sky is covered with extremely thick clouds and is very low, which is a sign of heavy snowfall.

Galdi wanted to take the territory of the fifth prince with his cavalry, but Batu reminded him that it would snow in the near future. Sure enough, the cavalry team encountered the white-haired wind in the picture.

Rao is a cavalryman with two horses, and his travel speed is twice as fast as that of ordinary soldiers. But Gardi was still delayed for five days before returning to the grassland. These cavalrymen were veterans of the Quartet, and they still did not stop in the face of the cold snap of the sudden invasion, which provoked Gardi's admiration, and gave the order to go down, and they were rewarded after this battle.

It's just that the three brothers and sisters of Brother Qi, who were snatched away by the fifth prince and tied to the tent, were a little pitiful. They were out riding horses and didn't wear much, but at this moment, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the cold air penetrated into their bodies everywhere, and they were so cold that their hearts were frozen. Brother Ming and Brother Qi were physically stronger, and they could barely hold on, but Chenxi was frozen and her teeth chattered.

The three children all grew up in fine clothes and food, how could they have suffered such hunger and cold? Especially Chenxi, she is the little princess in everyone's hearts, Brother Ming and Brother Qi have both been sent out by their mothers to endure hardships and temper themselves, but she has never suffered at all.

Seeing their baby sister frozen like this, the two brothers were about to burst into tears, but they were tied up and couldn't move, and they were really powerless. The calmness of encountering things in the past has long disappeared in this case, and the eyes in my heart are all shivering from the cold.

Brother Ming changed his usual playfulness and naughtiness, and said to Brother Qi with a sad face, "Brother, think of a way, my sister will have a fever if she freezes again." ”

Brother Qi himself was tied up, and he was more anxious than anyone else. But he couldn't show it, and looked at his sister distressedly. Chenxi is also sensible, her lips are black and purple, and the skin on her wrists has long been worn by the rough hemp rope, and blood is flowing, but she doesn't say a word.

When Chenxi heard the voice of the second brother, she raised her head weakly, and said with a smile on her face, "Big brother, second brother, don't worry, I can still bear it." I'm cold, but my brother is just as cold, I'm fine. Because of her chattering teeth, she stumbled when she spoke, and Brother Qi and Brother Ming were so distressed that they wanted to kill the fifth prince immediately!

Suddenly, there was movement outside the tent, and some faint voices were heard, but the wind and snow were too loud for the three to recognize.

Qi Ge'er motioned to Brother Ming not to make a sound, thinking about how to deal with those people later, and let them untie the rope of Chenxi. R638
