Chapter 60: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Ah Ghost, who was hiding outside, saw the two of them come out, and immediately rushed forward. The three of them joined forces and soon left the Turkic camp.
Thinking of Yinlong's previous advice, the three of them did not love to fight at all, and after leaving the camp, they summoned the horses that had been hidden long ago, and ran towards the desert full of yellow sand at the fastest speed. With Ah Ghost's familiarity with the desert terrain, the three of them didn't have much effort, and they threw away the pursuers behind them.
In the Turkic camp, Zhang Yufu did not leave immediately after creating chaos with the few remaining thunder and fire bombs. Looking at the Turkic soldiers who were constantly surrounding, he crouched down, took a scimitar from the hand of a Turkic soldier he had killed not long ago, gritted his teeth, and slashed his arms and waist several times.
Blood spilled from the wound and soon soaked his clothes. Resisting the pain of his injury, he looked around, walked about ten meters to the entrance and exit of the camp, and then pretended to be seriously injured and fell to the ground.
After doing all this, it only took a moment for someone to come over.
"Keep searching!" Seeing the mess under his eyes and the corpses all over the ground, a man who looked like a general roared with anger!
In just three days, it was the second time that someone had infiltrated the camp. If he can't find anyone again, how can he explain it to the king!
Just as he was about to lead his troops to search elsewhere, he suddenly heard faint breathing. After a pause, judging the direction in which the breathing sound came from, he raised his feet and walked towards Zhang Yufu, who pretended to faint.
Feeling someone pat him on the face, Zhang Yufu slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him blankly.
Hearing the general-looking man ask him what had just happened, Zhang Yufu raised his hand with a little panic in his eyes, pointed to the direction of the entrance and exit of the Turkic camp tremblingly, and said weakly, "They...... Go over there......"
As soon as he heard this, the general-looking man's face changed greatly, and he shouted in a low voice, "It's not good, I've been tricked!" ”
Immediately afterwards, he led a large group of men and horses towards the entrance and exit of the Turkic camp.
When he arrived at the entrance and exit, he looked at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, and asked about what happened before, his killing intent increased greatly, he raised his eyes to look outside the camp, and shouted angrily, "Search for me, within a radius of fifty miles, arrest all suspicious people for me!" ”
On the other side, after seeing that the people searching for the assassins had left, Zhang Yufu got up from the ground and headed straight for Yilizama's tent.
Seeing him come back covered in blood, several of the guards outside the camp couldn't help but surround him and ask what had happened.
Zhang Yufu only said that when he went to inquire about the news, he encountered the assassin who broke in tonight, and was wounded by the enemy.
When the leader of the guards heard Zhang Yufu's words, there was a faint suspicion in his eyes, but when he saw that the scars on his body did not seem to be fake, he still called someone to come and bandage Zhang Yufu simply.
Yili Yuma, who heard the movement outside, saw Zhang Yufu covered in blood as soon as he came out, and he almost couldn't control himself and pounced on it, so he carefully examined it.
"Ahem...... Seeing that Yili Yuma's expression changed greatly, Zhang Yufu knew that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly let out a violent coughing sound before Yili Yuma pounced.
The panicked Yili Tama heard Zhang Yufu's cough, and suddenly came back to her senses, and after facing Zhang Yufu's eyes that made her calm down for a while, she calmed down even more.
Looking at the many pairs of eyes around her who were staring at her all the time, she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the worry in her heart, and after a few simple questions, she ordered someone to send Zhang Yufu back to rest first.
Seven days later, it is a very important festival for the Turks, the festival of Nauruz. For the Turks, this day is tantamount to the New Year of the Han Chinese, whether it is the princes and nobles or the common people, they will change into new clothes, gather together, and light bonfires to celebrate the end of the long cold night.
Early in the morning, Chahagatai sent someone to bring the dress to Yilizama to wear today.
Looking at the clothes and jewelry in the maid's hands, Yili Tama had a strong hatred in her eyes.
At the beginning, when the Xue Yantuo tribe was wiped out by the sneak attack of Chahagatai's army, they were also dressed in costumes to celebrate the end of the long cold night.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the hatred and sadness in his heart, Yili Tama changed into the Chinese clothes of the Turkic queen under the service of the maids, and then walked out of his tent step by step with their support.
Today, as the queen of the Turks, he wants to work with the Turkic Khan Chahagatai to kill cattle and sheep and sacrifice to the heavens, and worship the water and grass that can survive in the desert.
The sacrificial ceremony was very heavy, and it took half an hour to finish. When it was over, all the Turkic soldiers shouted in unison. Subsequently, the sheep and cattle were slaughtered, the pot was set up to light the fire, and the cheerful singing was gradually spread into the desert in the aroma of meat.
While the song was in full swing, a commotion came from not far from the king's tent.
Chahahetai, who was enjoying the song and dance, frowned dissatisfiedly, and changed someone to ask what was going on.
"The king of Huiyu, it is General Jere, who has just captured a suspicious actor and is about to be executed on the spot." When a soldier guarding near the king's tent heard this, he strode over and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Chahagatai waved his hand, laughed and said, "Let General Jeli hurry up and not get blood on his body, so as not to frighten the princess of this king." ”
Hearing this, the others in the king's tent burst out laughing.
Yili Yuma frowned slightly, a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he looked sideways, but saw Zhang Yufu, who was guarding not far away, giving him a look.
Immediately, she turned her head to look at Chahahetai and said in a cold voice, "My lord, today is the Nauruz Festival, and it is not appropriate to see blood. ”
Hearing Yili Tama take the initiative to talk to him, Chahahetai's mood instantly improved, and he turned his head and asked, "Is the princess afraid?" It doesn't matter, our tribe survived the battle, and when we saw the blood today, God will not only not blame, but will be happy, and bless our army in the future, invincible! ”
Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Yili Tama thought for a moment and continued, "My lord, didn't you say that General Yeli captured him as a play? Today's holiday, it's better to let the drama come to cheer everyone up, and it can be regarded as adding some color to today, okay? ”
It was rare to see the princess begging for him, and Chahagatai thought about it, then raised his hand and waved his hand, and ordered the guards not far away, "Go, let General Jeli bring the play." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yili Tama again, and said with a smile, "It's rare that the princess is interested, how can this king say no." ”
A short time later, the same general who had led his troops to capture the Assassin walked in with a man.
That person is a flower face. It's just that at this time, all the robes on Hua Face's body have been replaced by the ones that are used to wandering in the desert, and even the weapons that he never leaves his hand have disappeared, and I don't know where they are hidden.
was brought to the king's tent, with his face bowed, and deliberately made a cautious look of looking around, but from the expression on his face, he couldn't tell that he had come to assassinate.
After looking at it, it seemed that Chahahetai was the one who could have the final say here, and immediately knelt down with a "poof", and said with panic and fear all over his body, "This general, I was wronged!" I'm just wandering around in this desert to make a living, where is the assassin! Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to break into here and assassinate me!" Ask the general to see and let me live! ”
"Shut up, in front of the king, I can't tolerate your presumptuousness!" General Yeli looked at the flower face, kicked him in the back, and said coldly.
As soon as he heard this, his face trembled again, and he mustered up the courage to raise his head, but before he could see Chahahetai's face clearly, he was frightened by the fear in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head, and kept crying, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the king, and he asked the king to spare his life, and the king spared his life...... The little one is really not an assassin, please see the king......"
Seeing the appearance of the flower face begging for mercy and crying, the other people in the king's tent were amused, and Chahahetai was also full of smiles, as if the fear deliberately made by the flower face was used as the fun of playing.
Yili Tama looked a little embarrassed, and called softly, "King? ”
Seeing that his princess was a little unhappy, Chahahetai restrained the smile on his face, looked at the flower face, and said in a deep voice, "The princess is interested in watching your performance today, if you perform well and make the princess happy, this king will let you go." If the performance is smashed, today's sacrifice is just one human sacrifice! ”
As soon as these words came out, the flower face kneeling on the ground trembled obviously, as if he was frightened by the second half of Chahahetai's words. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up in fear.
Hua Mian raised his head slightly, and said to Chahagatai on the throne, "My things are still outside, and I ask the king to allow the small ones to come in." ”
As if he had squinted at General Jeli, he immediately asked him to fetch the tools that he had brought with him before the face.
A short time later, someone brought a large wooden box about half a person high.
General Yeli asked the big wooden box to be opened, and after a careful inspection, he made sure that there were no dangerous items in it, and then he sent it to Huayan and the others.
When I saw the box that was delivered, my flowery eyes changed a little in a place where no one saw it.
Then, Flower Face walked over to the box and took out a special handkerchief from it.
I saw him turn the handkerchief in his hand a few times, and then stuffed it into his palm, and after a few moments, his palm was slightly loosened, and a blooming golden flower appeared. As he brushed the peculiar veil on the flower, the flower immediately turned into a golden bird. As the lips of the flower face opened and closed, a few realistic birdsong came out.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the king's tent couldn't help but be a little interested and watched it one after another.
Hua Mian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and took out some things from the big box, and under the operation of his hands, one dazzling trick after another was presented in front of everyone.
