After walking unhurriedly for more than a month, Xiao Jing finally came to the grassland.

Thinking of the desperate running last time, and then thinking of the nearly 100 brothers who died in the grassland, his heart was like a knife, and he spilled a glass of water and wine on the ground.

Even though it's a hundred miles away from where the last incident happened.

The accompanying guards were about to speak, when General Sun, who led the team, suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Enemy attack, formation!" ”

This time the army was 3,000 men. The last time I let more than 100 people go to the grassland to send off their relatives, it was just that they were tragically annihilated, this time it was an official meeting between the north and the south, and if something similar happened again, the face of the imperial court would have nowhere to put it.

So in addition to the Beijing camp, the border army also sent a lot of good hands.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbling came from far and near, and did not stop until a stone's throw away. The number of people in the garage is about the same as Da Rui's side, but because it is a cavalry, the power is more than a star and a half.

Someone on the side of Da Rui, who was waiting, shouted: "Who is coming?" Please explain your intentions! ”

The leader of Beihu on the horse said: "The Great Khan is afraid that the people of the Southern Dynasty will delay the meeting due to ignorance of the road, so he specially ordered me to come and escort him!" ”

The people in the mission whispered in disbelief. The location of the alliance did not go deep into the grassland, and Da Rui's mission also brought a guide, where could there be a possibility of getting lost? The Northern Hu people did this clearly to humiliate them, and even had bad intentions: Where would the Hu people have any good birds?

General Sun's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "We understand the kindness of the Great Khan, but we know the way and don't bother you to escort it." Besides, there are already warriors on the other side of the foot, is this escort or coercion? Is this how the prairie people are hospitable? ”

The leader of the Hu people laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, the general must not be surprised, my great khan said: the southerners are as cunning as foxes, and they should be optimistic when they go to the grassland, so don't let them run around, lest anything happen." At that time, if your people are dead on the grassland, the Southern Dynasty will say that our Beihu people are cruel and murderous, and start a war lightly, and Beihu can't afford this crime. ”

The knights beside him burst out laughing.

The officers and soldiers on Da Rui's side glared at Hu Ren angrily. The people in the Beijing camp are better, and the fighting men from the border army have long been impatient, and some of them are even ready to move.

The other party made it clear that he was laughing at Da Rui people about sending off relatives, how could he bear this tone?

General Sun laughed and said, "The Hu people are cruel and everyone knows it. What's the matter, now I want to write a pretence? A hungry wolf is a hungry wolf after all, so what's wrong with people trying to prevent wolves? ”

The leader of the Hu people waved his horsewhip and said lightly: "Sure enough, it is the temperament of the southerners, even the generals who lead the troops." When it comes to talking about tongue-talking, who are your opponents? What splendid scenery, moral articles, I bah!

As a man, you don't have to rely on a bow horse to speak. Ben will go south many times, and I have seen a lot of southerners who look like dogs, so what happened in the end? It's not like you're on your knees begging for mercy!

The men on the prairie disdain to engage in verbal disputes. Anyway, Ben will bring the words of the Great Khan, it's up to you whether you go or not, it doesn't matter if you want to return south immediately, no one will stop you. But do you dare to go? Hahaha! ”

General Sun's eyes widened with anger, and he was indescribably angry.

The Great Khan of Beihu is in the Huimeng right now, of course, he can make his own ideas about anything, even if he pats his ass and leaves now, he is also happy. He and the mission will not be able to: the group has come with a holy decree, and unless there is another will, even if there is a knife in the sky, they will have to finish the affairs of the alliance head-on.

He was thinking about how to deal with it, when Lord Yan, the envoy on the side, suddenly whispered: "The Hu people are unreasonable, and they are intended to provoke the general, you and I must not deal with them." Please also ask the general to restrain his subordinates, don't cause trouble, follow their words first, and let the old man deal with him later. ”

General Sun nodded abruptly. Although his rank is above Lord Yan, the status of civil officials is respected, and military generals have always been soft-spoken, and it is already very face-saving for people to be willing to discuss in a gentle voice instead of shouting and drinking.

It's just that as a righteous envoy, why didn't he open his mouth just now?

After the somewhat restless team calmed down, Yan Da said: "As the saying goes, the guest is as the master goes, since the lord of the grassland has spoken, it is not appropriate for me to let the nobles wait for a long time, so I will bother the general to lead the way." However, our dynasty and the Great Khan have long agreed that the mission shall not be disturbed in any way, let alone lose human lives. ”

The leader of Beihu laughed and said, "There is someone here who is knowledgeable. The people of the grassland have always made a promise, where can they be as untrustworthy as the people of the Southern Dynasties? Since the Great Khan has spoken, it is inevitable that your people will return in full shadows. ”

Lord Yan was about to thank him, but he suddenly changed his tone and said coldly: "However, you also have to be careful, if you ...... If someone offends the majesty of the Great Khan, then even God cannot save him. ”

With that, he glanced at Da Rui's envoy and drove his horse back to his ranks.

After a few moments, the group began to move again. The knights of Beihu walked in front in a semicircle, and the cavalry kept patrolling the sides of the team, as if they were afraid that the Da Rui people would run away.

After two hours of delay, the mission finally arrived at the agreed place.

Out of courtesy, Lord Yan went to see the Great Khan, but he was closed: the Great Khan was indeed in the camp, but he was unwell and did not see anyone.

Fortunately, at least the people are still here.

Lord Yan, who returned in a huff, didn't stop for long. Early the next morning, the people in the carriage came to them in a rude manner, saying that there were no extra tents for the Darui mission, and that they should set up their own tents and move out of the tents where they were now living.

The mission was in an uproar. The accommodation provided in the garage was originally an agreed matter, so why did the Hu people go back on their word?

I couldn't say it, so Lord Yan had no choice but to send people to ride to the nearest pass, and hurriedly transported the supplies before dark, and reluctantly built a new camp.

In the next few days, there were all kinds of difficulties in the garage, and Da Rui's camp was already full of complaints, but under the suppression of the chief officer, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The night of the fifth day was a rare good weather, and Xiao Jing lay down early.

Lu Chong didn't come to trouble these days, which made him a little surprised, could it be that the ambitious Beihu Great Khan no longer took his small role seriously?

The tent is a little nervous, and he doesn't have the treatment of living alone before, and there are many people huddled with him now. But it's nothing, the temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is large, and everyone sleeps next to each other at least it's still relatively warm.

I wonder what's going on in the capital? There is nothing wrong with the family, how long will it take to complete the mission and return south?

Just when he was thinking nonsense with his hands on his pillow, the outside was suddenly illuminated by torches, and the drum noise of the Hu people also floated over: "All surrounded, don't get away from the southerners!" ”
