It's almost dawn, and after a night fire revelry, most of the people are still sleeping with a hangover. The blood stains in Xue Shao's tent had not dried, and a bloody storm soon set off in the camp of the Turks outside.

Mutiny seizures of power are never without blood and killing, followed by the eradication of dissidents. The demon that had been suppressed in the heart of the Etun agent for a long time was finally released, and he waved the scimitar in his hand, resulting in the lives of more than a hundred Turkic soldiers.

The screams and blood of the corpses in the Turkic camp made the Han people frightened and panicked. Xue Shao made an emergency deployment as soon as possible, and he asked Guo Yuanzhen to lead the brothers of the Three Swords Brigade to immediately lead the Han people to move south, and move closer to the location of the Tang army to seek protection. Before leaving, Xue Shao handed Guo Yuanzhen a letter, asking him to give the letter to Pei Xingjian as soon as possible. At the same time, contact Xue Chuyu's department in charge of receiving as soon as possible, and let him lead the army to converge.

Guo Yuanzhen did not dare to delay the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and immediately set off to escort Hermes-Epitek away. Those who remained by Xue Shao's side were only seven people including Yuenu and Guo An, plus Xue Shao himself, there were only eight in total.

The Etun agent completed his purge of 800 Turkic soldiers as quickly as possible, but all of Ashwinfu's henchmen and those who refused to serve him were killed. There are more than 600 people left, and they have become the dead soldiers who follow the Etun special service to participate in this big gamble of life.

The Etun special service rode his tall horse in full armor and came to bid farewell to Xue Shao. He was surprised to find that Xue Shao's movements seemed to be faster than him. The entire Han camp was almost empty, and only a few people remained with Xue Shao.

"General Xue, if I succeed in this trip, I will be a brother to you when I come back!" Etun Secret Service lowered his head with his hand on his chest, and said very sincerely, "One day I became the Great Khan of the steppe, and you are the Apodagan under one person and above ten thousand people!" ”

Apodagan was the official name of the Turks, roughly equivalent to the generalissimo of soldiers and horses who held military power.

Xue Shao smiled in return with his fists in return, and said, "Cheng Mengqin looks up to me, but Xue is an official of the Tang Dynasty, so he doesn't dare to abolish public and private." ”

"If I can rule the grassland tribes, I will definitely lead my troops to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and swear never to invade each other and never rebel!" The Etun agent raised his scimitar with an oath and issued an oath, "The heart of Etun is a god!" ”

"Okay, I'll see." Xue Shao just nodded, "I wish the special service, and I will succeed!" ”

"Farewell!"

The Etun agent shouted, and the scimitar galloped away. More than 600 Turkic soldiers followed, and disappeared like a whirlwind on the land line of the steppe.

"Childe, is what the Etun agent said credible?" Moon Nu asked a little curious.

Xue Shao just smiled, "If peace can be brought about by just a few oaths on horseback, history will not move forward in war and blood." ”

"I see him very earnestly." Yuenu said.

Xue Shao smiled coldly and said, "I said it a long time ago, the Etun special service is not stupid at all, he is quite shrewd. He made these great wishes and made these vows in front of me today because he was now alone and hoped to get foreign aid and help from the Tang army. If he fails on this trip, there is still the last way to retreat - he can take my path and join Datang, right? ”

"It seems to be ......," Moon Nu nodded thoughtfully, "I'm not worried about this Etun agent, the fight between him and Ashdwin Fu is like a dog eats a dog, let them bite it." I'm a little worried about Ai Yan, once Yudu Jinshan falls into civil strife, her life and death can be ......."

Xue Shao's brows furrowed, his expression suddenly became a little serious, and he said, "Logically speaking, no one on the grassland will hurt Ai Yan. But in the midst of chaos, anything can happen. Moreover, for the prairie caught in war and power struggle, the identity and lineage of Princess Ashina have special significance. In addition to Asdwin Fu and the Etun Special Service, it is hard to guarantee that there will be others who will also want to snatch her for their own use. ”

Guo An couldn't help but interject on the side, "This is like when the war and chaos of our Central Plains Dynasty changes, all the princes will compete to snatch the royal family members first, or set up a puppet banner or coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

"That's right." Xue Shao's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Actually, the grassland tribe doesn't pay much attention to any ethics at all, it is common for fathers, sons and brothers to share a woman, and many people are born only knowing their mothers but not their fathers. To this day, they also follow the customs of the Huns, once their father dies, their father's wives and concubines will be inherited by their sons like cattle and sheep. Therefore, the conflict between Ashdwin Fu and the Etun special service broke out, not at all to compete for a woman. In the final analysis, they are fighting for Ai Yan's unique bloodline and influence, and they are fighting for power. How much love and infatuation does the Etun agent show to Ai Yan...... No one knows! ”

"Ai Yan is so pitiful...... Could it be that she was born destined for such a fate? The moon slave couldn't help but sigh faintly, "No wonder there is an old saying, the royal family has no true feelings. In the face of power, family affection and love will become false and vulnerable! ”

Xue Shao turned his head to look at the moon slave, the moon slave was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Son, forgive the sin, the moon slave drank a few more cups ......and lost his speech for a while."

"Forget it, I don't blame you." Xue Shao shook his head and sighed lightly, the royal family has no true feelings, do you still need you to tell me? …… What will be the future of me and Princess Taiping, no one knows!

"General, what shall we do now?" Guo An asked.

Xue Shao said: "This place is only one or two hundred miles away from Yudu Jinshan, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait and see the changes." Wait for Xue Chuyu's troops to come, and then act on camera! ”

"Yes!"

"But this place is too conspicuous for us to live in for the time being." Xue Shao said, "Leave a code mark for Xue Chuyu, we must first hide." Let's act now, be careful! ”

"Yes!"

……

The steppe people believed that the steep mountains were the places where the gods lived, so there were many "sacred mountains" in the desert and grasslands. Tengger Mountain is the "place where the supreme god lives" in the minds of the Turks, but whenever there is a major celebration, the steppe people will come here to worship the gods.

Ashdwin Fu is about to marry the princess of Ashdamin, which is of course a first-class event on the grassland. Ashdwin Fu chose to hold his wedding here, of course, to expand his popularity and influence among the steppe tribes as much as possible.

According to the nomadic tradition, there is a big hunt before the big festival. Ashdwin invited many of the chieftains of the tribe to the wedding. The grassland is vast, and it will take a long time for all the chiefs to arrive here. Therefore, those who came first would enjoy the hunt with Ashdwin while waiting for the other chiefs to arrive.

The hundred-mile mountain forests and prairies at the foot of Tengger Mountain have become a big hunting ground for Ashdwin Fu to receive guests. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed around the hunting grounds, and the momentum was very huge. The tents of the chiefs were set up around the mobile tents of Ashdwin Fu, forming a temporary distribution center for the nobles of the steppe.

As the son of Ashdwin, the Etun agent knew everything about his father's habits. At the same time, he was once the bravest general and the best hunter under Asdwin Fu. No one is more familiar with the big hunting ground in front of him than him. He also knows the rules of garrisoning and patrolling of the Turkic army!

The Etun agent and the more than 600 horsemen under his command interspersed and lurked back and forth like loaches and ghosts between the gaps between the Turkic armies, which were as tightly defended as iron barrels, avoiding the reconnaissance of the army and quietly sneaking into the woods of the hunting ground and ambushing.

Two days later, the Turkic army sounded their horns in unison, and the Khan led the chiefs to begin the hunt. Their main target is the yellow sheep.

Yellow mutton has always been a high-class delicacy on the Turkic table, but it is extremely good at running and jumping, and it is not easy to catch. At the foot of the sacred mountain, there are often flocks of yellow sheep at the foot of the mountain. Etun has loved to hunt here since he was a child, and he is all too familiar with the habits and whereabouts of yellow sheep. Therefore, he is very confident that this ambush he has set up will definitely be able to wait for Ashdwin Fu's self-defeat!

On the third day, Ashdwin Fu and a group of steppe chiefs, led by guards and hounds, really broke into the encirclement of the Etun special service.

While the hound roared wildly, the arrows of the Ettun agents were also aimed at Astwin Fu himself!

Edun squinted at the familiar and unfamiliar man not far away, too many memories and thoughts rushed into his mind at the same time, making his hands start to tremble and his heart tremble!

If the Etun Special Service doesn't shoot the first arrow, the others will never shoot.

"Khan, there is an ambush!!" Suddenly someone yelled.

Asdwin was so shocked that he wanted to turn around and flee. Just as the BMW he stepped on made a startled roar and stood up, the arrow in the hand of the Etun special service shot out!

Sweating profusely, Étun's eyes widened as he looked at the arrow he had shot...... Shot Ashwin's horse!

The horse screamed and flopped wildly, knocking Asdwin to the ground. The left and right guards hurriedly stepped forward to protect them, and at the same time sounded the horn of warning.

"Kill—"

The demon's will eventually dominated the soul of the Etun Agents, and he mounted his horse and brandished his scimitar and was the first to charge out.

Immediately after, six hundred dead men rushed out.

A bloody battle was inevitable, and Ashdwin's personal guards fought desperately to protect the lord and retreated, and all kinds of soldiers and horses rushed to this place one after another, coming to the rescue. The Etun Agents and his 600 men were already fighting from the ground, all as crazy and violent as if a demon had been born.

"Etun, you brute!" Asdwin recognized his son and scolded loudly.

The Etun agent heard Ashwin's voice in the chaos, and without hesitation, he shot an arrow at Ashwin.

This time his hand didn't tremble, and the arrow struck Ashdwin's throat with precision.

With an angry scolding, he took Ashdwin's own life. There was a strange bone sound in his throat, blood spurting out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.

There was a lot of fighting, and people were dying. Ashwin's eyes widened as he looked at the dazzling blue sky and white clouds above his head, and he actually remembered the scene more than ten years ago, when he personally pushed the Etun special service on horseback for the first time and handed him the first bow and arrow in his life.

At that time, the sky was as blue as it is now, and the white clouds were as white and cheerful as sheep running on the grassland. Etun, who climbed on horseback for the first time, once made such a vow - when I grew up and went hunting every day, I would give my father the best yellow mutton!

Asdwin's pupils quickly changed color, and everything around him was moving away from him......
