"My lord, there's someone up ahead." A soldier said.

Xue Rengui looked in the direction of the soldier's finger and saw that there seemed to be a figure in the grass. He bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the figure and said, "Come out quickly, or an arrow will kill you!"

The figure didn't move at all.

Xue Rengui stepped forward and found that the man was dead. Then another body was found not far away.

Xue Rengui examined the wounds and found that the wounds of the two were on the throat, and the wounds were very small, which seemed to be caused by a very narrow weapon.

The soldiers continued to search around when they suddenly heard a whining sound. The soldiers found a man tied to the ground with rags in his mouth.

Xue Rengui stepped forward to remove the rag from his mouth and asked, "Who are you and why are you following us?" ”

The man said a lot in the house, and Xue Rengui and the others couldn't understand a word, so they had to take him up and catch up with Li You and the others.

Xue Rengui simply reported the situation to Li You.

Li You said: "Now when I ask you, you have to answer truthfully." Otherwise, cut off your hands and feet and leave you here to feed the wolves. ”

The man gave an account of what had happened. It turned out that they were a tribe under Xue Yantuo, a branch of the Yinan tribe. After Dai Sen Dari took the throne, he cleaned up Yi Nan's cronies, and bought those who could be bought, and tried to get rid of them if they couldn't.

The leader of this small tribe was unwilling to take refuge in Daisendarge, so he fled with his people. When they saw people passing by, they feared that they had been sent by Daisendarge, so they sent someone to follow them secretly.

There were three of them, two of whom were attacked and killed, and he was knocked unconscious and tied up.

Li You asked, "What kind of people are the people who attacked you, and how many are there?"

That's to say, "The little one didn't see clearly. However, there are not many of them, and it seems that there are women among them. ”

Xue Rengui said: "Lord Wang, or the minister will take someone to search again." ”

Li You shook his head and said, "Judging from the behavior of those people, they are friends and not enemies. Since people don't want to show up, there's no need for us to search for them. ”

He said, "White Tiger, you go and bring Ashinaqing over." ”

When that person saw Ashinaqing, he was taken aback. He knelt down and said, "The little one has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Ashinaqing: "Who are you?" ”

The man said what he had said to Li You again.

When she heard the man say that there were now more than 10,000 people in this tribe, Ashina Qing was a little moved.

Li You smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Ashinaqing, how is it, do you want these people?" If you want them, go get them. I will place them in Seongju. In the future, these people can help you fight back to Xue Yantuo.

Although Ashina Qing is a woman, she is the daughter of Yi Nan after all, and she follows Yi Nan with her ears and eyes, and has a certain amount of political wisdom.

She knew that she was empty-handed, and it was empty words to seek revenge. With these horses, although there are both old and young, women and children, at least they can make up 3,000 warriors, which is more or less a force. can also increase his status in Li You's mind.

She said, "If you can trust me, I will go and recruit them and go with you to Shengzhou." ”

Li You smiled: "You go." White Tiger, give them two horses. ”

Ash Naqing followed the man.

Zhang Guigui asked: "Brother You, just let her go, aren't you afraid that she will run away?" ”

Li You smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to run away?" If she runs away, won't we be in trouble? Besides, I think she'll definitely be back. ”

Wang Xuance said: "The minister also thinks that she will definitely come back." ”

Xue Rengui smiled and did not speak.

Although the soldiers didn't understand why in their hearts, they knew that whatever the prince said was definitely right.

Ashinaqing really didn't think about escaping?

She thought about it, but where could she go? Daisen Dari is arresting her, in this case, it is impossible for this tribe to accept her, even if people accept her, with such a small tribe, what can they do?

It didn't take long for Ashina Qing to come back. She brought a man in his 30s, who was Ashina Qing's distant uncle named Ashina Hongliang.

Ashina Qing introduced them.

Ashina saluted loudly and said, "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi. Her Royal Highness the princess has already told the minister that the Tang Dynasty can take in the minister's subordinates. The minister is willing to follow the prince and go to Shengzhou together. ”

Li You said: "Wang Xuance, you take the first step and inform the Shengzhou Assassin Shi so that he can prepare to accept these subordinates. The resettlement fee of the imperial court will be allocated later. ”

Seeing Li You doing things vigorously, Ashina Qing and Ashina Hongliang were very happy.

took in Ashina Qing and immediately received the effect of dismantling Xue Yantuo.

Not long after, Li You and the others continued to move forward with Ashina's loud clan.

There has been no mention of Hou Cheng here, what did he do?

It turned out that half a month ago, Li You saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he sent Hou Cheng to Chang'an to report the news.

On this day, Hou Cheng and others came to the vicinity of Shengzhou, crossed a Gobi Desert in front, and entered the boundary of Shengzhou.

The night was hazy and the moonlight was indifferent. Yesterday a strong wind blew, and only a little remnant of snow remained on the Gobi Desert. Remnant Snow left an intermittent white pattern on the black next door, which looked very weird.

Tonight, there was no wind at all, and the Gobi Desert was unusually quiet.

At midnight, the silence was shattered by the sound of horses' hooves. Three knights led two horses and marched slowly.

The leader was Hou Cheng, and the other two were guards and guides. Yesterday's strong wind delayed their trip, so Hou Cheng decided to rush overnight tonight.

Suddenly, a long wolf howl came from not far away, which looked unusually poignant in the quiet night sky.

"Oh no, there are wolves." The guide said eagerly.

Sure enough, a pack of wolves appeared not far away, their eyes flashing with a cold light.

Hou Cheng asked, "Didn't you say that there are no wolves in this generation?" ”

He was right, this is the foot of a branch of Yin Mountain, and wolves usually move on the grassland and rarely come here. But this year there was a heavy snowfall in many places, and many livestock on the grassland froze to death. The wolves couldn't find enough to eat, so they wandered around, and happened to be caught up by Hou Cheng and others.

Hearing Hou Cheng's words, the guide said, "I don't know." Get out of here. ”

Hou Cheng didn't say a word, he whipped his horse fiercely, the war horse rushed out, and the three of them ran forward desperately.

Suddenly, wolves appeared in front of them, pounced on them. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
