Chapter 124: Red Sleeves, Please
、、、、、、、、、、
Shumeng was also a little uneasy in his heart. Although the holy decree explained that it was for the surname of the northern border of the Great Sui and to avoid the invasion of the Turkic iron cavalry southward, Shu Meng knew in his heart that this trip was full of dangers, and even if they really cured the Qimin Khan, they might not be able to return with their whole body. Moreover, there must be many people within the Turks who hope that the Qimin Khan will die as soon as possible, so that they can hope to inherit the throne.
This is what Yu Ming said to her at the regular meeting of the envoy before the departure last night, saying that the Holy Lord had told him and the eldest grandson Wuji that if the situation was critical, the mission could also suspend the negotiations with the Turks and turn back halfway. So let her not worry, he will protect her safety.
"Alas, I know that this is the case, and you tell me not to worry, can I not worry?" Shumeng's beautiful big eyes also showed a hint of self-deprecation, she pulled out the curtain of the carriage window, looked at the outline of the eastern capital city wall behind her, and wanted to take another look at the scenery of her hometown.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and saw a red war horse of a divine steed galloping over at a swift speed.
Immediately seated was a sassy and heroic female knight, dressed in a fiery red suit, holding a black leather whip in her hand, and carrying a stone compound bow on her back.
In addition to this red power suit, she is also wrapped in a cloak with a white fox fur, which is very eye-catching in the sunlight. Her black hair is tied with a pink ribbon, and a pair of big black and white eyes are inlaid on the white melon face, which makes her eyes bright and bright.
Her clothes were as red as fire, her face was flushed with rouge, her whip was like a serpent in hell, and her eyes were stars in the sky.
Not only were the soldiers of the Qiansui Army stunned, but even the eldest grandson Wuji and Yuming who were standing at the front of the team were a little dumbfounded.
"Sister Red Sleeves? Isn't she still recuperating from her injuries? Why did you come too? Yu Ming couldn't help but mutter.
After Redsleeves was rescued, she told how she was injured.
It turned out that on the way back to her home, she suddenly encountered a drunk family brother, who harassed and teased her with a group of family members and thugs. In a fit of rage, she fought with them. But unexpectedly, the other party also has several strong martial arts people, although her martial arts are stronger than the other party, but she is helpless to be alone, and she accidentally hit the opponent's Xuanming poisonous palm in the battle.
Although she relied on light body kung fu very well, she barely escaped. But his life hung by a thread, but fortunately, he was discovered by Yu Yuqing, who was in Li Jing's mansion, and finally picked up his life.
Afterwards, Yuming sent people to investigate, but found that the group of people who were injured by the red sleeves had disappeared without a trace. This made him even more surprised. And the only line is: one of the family members called the drunken family brother the fifth young master.
But the major families in the eastern capital are all prosperous, and the fifth-ranked prince in the family is close to him. Even if Yushu came forward, it would be impossible to take the red sleeves and his family to visit and call the five princes out one by one for inspection.
Originally, Yuming planned to wait for the return of the grassland trip and then investigate it carefully. But I didn't expect Red Sleeves to stay in the house to recuperate and follow.
Under the whip of the red sleeves, the horse quickly galloped to the front of the convoy and stopped in front of Yuming.
"Senior brother, this trip to the Turks, count me in! You must know that I am from Zhuo County, which is close to the grassland. I often deal with Goryeo, Khitan, Turkic, Murwei, Tiele, Xuyantuo and other tribes, and I am fluent in all languages, and I have a lot of knowledge about the customs and customs of each tribe on the steppe. I think it will be of great help to you! The red-sleeved eyes looked forward to him, and said with expectant eyes.
Yu Ming was very moved in his heart, and held the jade hand with red sleeves and said: "Senior sister, I thank you for your righteousness, but your injuries are not well, and it is really inappropriate to go to Saibei with us!" The weather outside the Cypriot Fortress is vagaries and much colder than in the Central Plains. It's late autumn now, and I don't want you to have any lengths or shorts on the way...... In case you make a mistake, how can I explain it to Master and my wife? ”
"No, no, no! You don't have to worry at all! My injuries weren't serious, they were just poison. After the toxicity was lifted, after half a month of recuperation, the injury was almost healed! Moreover, I am a long-term lover of the frontier, even if it is cold? Red Sleeves shook his head like a wave.
Then she put Tankou next to Yu Ming's ear and whispered, "Senior brother, Miss Dream Expression has a life-saving grace for me. This trip to the Turks was dangerous. Most of the Turks are fierce and lustful, and I am afraid that she will be hurt. Although you are also good at martial arts, you are men, and it is inconvenient to take care of a woman. So, let me protect her! ”
Red Sleeves' words made Yu Ming suddenly wake up, and he remembered that among the envoys of more than 1,000 people, in addition to expressing dreams, only one of the medicine servants accompanying her was a woman. In this way, it is indeed inconvenient to protect her.
"But, senior sister, are you really completely healed?" Yuming still didn't believe it.
"It's okay! My injuries are no longer serious! Believe me, I can bend my bow and arrow! Redsleeves patted his chest as he removed the compound bow from his back, then bent his bow and aimed at a flock of geese flying south in the sky, and then suddenly loosened the bowstring.
Just listen to "Whoosh! With a sound, the long arrow shot out and flew straight into the sky.
A moment later, there was the mournful cry of geese. Immediately, a pair of geese fell from the sky and fell on the grass.
In the exclamation of everyone, Yu Ming jumped off the war horse and picked up the pair of geese, which was also a chill in his heart.
I saw that the long wolf's tooth arrow actually pierced the bodies of the two geese with one arrow and shot them together.
"It is worthy of being the apprentice of the Red Whisk Woman, and her archery skills are outstanding! Brother, if there is a girl with red sleeves, I think everyone will be safer! Yu Cheng looked at the red sleeves with amazing archery skills with one stone and two geese, and couldn't help but show surprise, and praised it.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment: "Brother Ming, I see that the injury of the red-sleeved girl is not a big deal, with her, a female master who is familiar with the situation of the grassland, it can be more reassuring to take care of the dream girl, so take her with you!" ”
"Brother Eldest Sun, thank you!" After hearing this, Red Sleeves was also overjoyed. She knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was the envoy of the envoys, and since he had spoken, she must be able to stay and follow the envoys.
"Alright! Since my brother and Brother Wuji have said so, I can't be a villain! Seeing this, Yuming had to nod helplessly, and then said to the side of the carriage: "Sister Red Sleeves, then please get into the carriage!" Dream Girl is about the success or failure of this Turkic trip, I hope you can protect her closely! ”
When Red Sleeves heard this, he nodded with a smile, then walked to the carriage with a light step, then opened the door and sat down.
Her red horse, led by a personal soldier, followed the carriage.
"Let's go!" Yu Ming looked at the more than 1,000 horses behind him who were ready to go, and pointed to the north with a whip and rode away......
With the activation of Yuming, the entire envoy group also began to move forward, slowly heading towards the north. Their target will be the Turkic tent, more than 5,000 miles away.
……
The late autumn dusk always comes quickly, before the moisture evaporated by the sunlight on the mountains dissipates. The sun fell into the hill.
So, the wind in the valley carried a heavy coolness, drove away the white mist, and swung down the mountain; And the shadow of the mountain peak, which fell on the village more quickly, grew thicker and thicker, and gradually blended with the night, but soon it was again silver-gray by the moon......
The envoys set out from the eastern capital, crossed the Yellow River, passed through Changping, Shangdang, Loufu and other counties, and finally arrived at Mayi County.
At this time, it has entered November, and snowflakes can already be seen flying in the sky, which is officially winter.
They were warmly received by King Rengong, the warden of Mayi County. A reception and farewell banquet was set up for the envoys. At the banquet, he also reminded the eldest grandson Wuji and Yuming: Recently, the Turks learned from the merchants who came to Mayi that there were several snowstorms on the grassland, and many livestock were frozen to death, and the Turks would have a big shortage of rations this winter. There were several times more bandits on the border and the steppe than usual, and although the envoys were outnumbered, they had to be very careful.
And after the eldest grandson Wuji and Yuming heard about it, they were also pale. They all knew that if the Turks did not have enough food, with their personalities, they would inevitably wage war and plunder against the surrounding tribes. According to the previous practice, the Great Sui in the south, due to its mild climate and large population and food, was the main target of the Turks' plunder.
In this case, it would be much more difficult for them to persuade the Turks and the Great Sui to get along.
With mixed feelings, the envoys finally stepped into the prairie. Wang Rengong specially sent a captain of the Yingyang Mansion, who often traveled to and from the Turks, and led fifty light horsemen to guide them to the Turkic tent.
Yu Ming looked at the captain, and saw that he was eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a pair of eyes like copper bells, which seemed to be a strong man with five thicknesses. However, if you look closely, you can see that his eyes are very sharp, and his eyes are constantly observing the situation of the envoys, which shows that he is a thoughtful person.
At this time, the captain saluted respectfully to Yuming and the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Humble Liu Wuzhou, come and report to the eldest grandson and General Yu!" Next, Liu led fifty scouts to open the way in front! Please rest assured, Liu is very familiar with the Turkic steppe, and he will definitely be able to bring the mission to the Turkic tent safely! ”
"What? Your name is Liu Wuzhou? When Yu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
