When everyone heard Xue Shao's words of "leaning towards Tiger Mountain", the atmosphere suddenly became tense and dignified.

This time is not as good as the last surprise attack on the black sand, and now it is the enemy who is dark and I am bright with such a burden as Ai Yan, and the guards of the Three Swords Brigade feel quite pressure in their hearts.

Xue Shao saw the hearts of the robes, he hurriedly stopped the team and gathered everyone together, and stabilized the army's heart with just one sentence - "I am sure that we can safely arrive at Yudu Jinshan; I'm even more convinced that we're up to the task! ”

This is like giving everyone a reassuring pill - who called the soldiers of the Three Swords Brigade to trust Xue Shao to the point of worship!

"Brothers, do their duty, do not panic, do not relax!"

"Yes!"

The confidence and fighting spirit of the Three Swords Brigade returned in an instant.

Ai Yan watched quietly from the sidelines, and kept muttering in his heart: Are these men stupid, dozens of people will face the threat of tens of thousands of people, and Xue Shaosan said that he didn't know how to be afraid as if he had fallen into an evil spirit? !

The team disbanded, and everyone took their places.

Xue Shao called Guo Yuanzhen, Yuenu and Ai Yan to his side again, and said, "Ai Yan, the current situation is critical, you must know better than me in your heart. In the past, the reason why Ashdwin Fu was willing to join forces with Fu Nian and respected him as a khan was because Fu Nian had high prestige and influence among the steppe tribes. After the two of them joined forces, although Fu Nian was called Khan, the real power was always in the hands of Ashdwin Fu. Am I right? ”

Ai Yan acquiesced with silence.

Xue Shao said again: "Fu Nian was captured, the Turkic rebels were defeated in successive battles, and the rebels must be fluctuating within the people's hearts. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Ashwin Fu played the guise of welcoming back Fu Nian and expressed his willingness to make peace with Datang, and an important condition he put forward was that if Datang was sincere in surrendering, he would send you back first. Guess what his intentions would be? ”

Ai Yan frowned and bit her lip, still silent.

"Since you are silent, I will speak for you." Yuenu said, "You are the royal family of the Turkic Khanate in the past, the only princess of the Ashina clan, and your identity is very useful to Ashdwin Fu. If his son can marry you, then Fu Nian is useless to him. So he decided to intercept you halfway and kill the envoys of the Tang army, thus breaking down the peace talks, and the captured Fu Nian could not be released. In that case, Fu Nian would never have the opportunity to return to the grassland to fight for power with Ashdwin Fu. Through the marriage of his son to Princess Ashina, Ashwin Fu is enough to stabilize the morale of the army, and then he will become the only leader of the Turkic rebels in the true sense! ”

Xue Shao smiled after hearing this, "General An, it's really strong!" ”

The moon slave smiled, "I've been following Childe for so long, even if my head is made of elm pimples, I should have to open a few tricks!" ”

Xue Shao pouted at Ai Yannu, who was still silent on the side, "Do you think she is right?" ”

There was still a hint of stubbornness in Ai Yan's expression, but he had to nod.

"Now it's clear." Xue Shao said, "We have a common enemy with Fu Nian, and that is Ashdwin Fu. Ai Yan, are you willing to cooperate with me to deal with Ashdwin Fu, or will you obediently accept his fate to marry his son and be a banner, a puppet, and a tool for childbearing? ”

"I'm never going to marry that ugly idiot!" Ai Yan's emotions suddenly became excited, and his expression was very disgusted.

"Is that willing, to work with me?"

Ai Yan gritted her teeth, "What do you need me to do?" What do I get? ”

"First of all, you can have peace and freedom, and you can choose your future husband and life." Xue Shao said, "There is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is called that men are afraid of entering the wrong line and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, I think this principle also works on the grassland, especially for a noble woman like you." ”

Ai Yan was silent and acquiesced.

Xue Shao said again: "As for what you need to do, it's very simple - don't go against me, don't make trouble for me, just do it!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"I already know what I mean. If you're not clear, I can go into a little more detail! Xue Shao said, "Then the ugly words are ahead, now that we are people in the same boat, if you fight in your heart and keep making trouble for me, I will kill you." ”

"You're going to ...... Kill me? Ai Yan was surprised and a little annoyed.

"For the sake of the overall situation of the military state and the lives of my dozens of brothers, I will." Xue Shao said affirmatively, "Maybe I'll have some infamy and hatred on my back, but it's better than letting you marry Ashdwin's son to fuel the arrogance of the rebels, or all of us die because of you!" ”

"Okay, I've got it!" Ai Yan stared at Xue Shao and took a deep breath, "Now should you tell me how you plan to compete with Ashdwin Fu?" Even if you don't need my help, at least let me know, right? As you say, we're in a boat now! ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you what you should know!" - Moon slave, pen and ink waiting! ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Yue Nu immediately took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Xue Shao immediately wrote a letter to Ashdwin Fu, and after writing it, he first showed it to Ai Yan.

Ai Yan has been away from the Central Plains for too long, and she doesn't speak Chinese very well, but she knows the Chinese characters very well, and after reading it, she glanced at Xue Shao with some surprise, and said in her heart: This person is really witty, and in just a few words, he hit the biggest taboo in Ashdwin Fu's heart, so that Ashdwin Fu didn't dare to do it again!

"You say, if Ashdwin Fu saw this letter, would he still send someone to intercept us?" Xue Shao smiled.

Ai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, silently returned the letter to Xue Shao, and then turned his head to look at the Turkic captive man who was tied to the side, "Just let him go back and give your letter to the disloyal man of Asteg, he will obediently hand over the letter to Asdwin Fu!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "It's really rare that Her Royal Highness the princess and I have the same heart!" - Just do as you say! ”

Ai Yan rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, only a vulture that snatches carrion will have the same heart as you!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen and the others laughed, "It turns out that we are all vultures!" ”

Immediately, Xue Shao handed the letter to the moon slave and asked her to let the captive go.

The moon slave said to the captive in Turkic: "Go back and tell your master that you should not try to use such despicable means against us again. Because we were the ones who attacked and killed your Black Sand Tooth Tent last time, a god soldier from the sky! ”

The Turkic captives had just mounted their horses, and when they heard the words of the moon slave, they almost fell off their horses, and said in Turkic in great horror: "You lie! In the last battle of Heisha, the Tang army dispatched Pei Xingjian's main army! ”

Yuenuha Luha's big smile was translated to Xue Shao and the others, and then there was a big laugh.

Ai Yan's face was very gloomy, and he shouted loudly, "Stupid slave, what she said is true! Get back to your master, don't be embarrassed here! ”

The Turkic captives fled in despair.

Xue Shao sighed softly and ordered: "If you don't leave today, just rest on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone agreed, and immediately divided up and drove away, took off the tent, baggage and other things from the car, and began to set up camp.

Ai Yan stepped forward and wondered, "Why don't you leave?" This is the depths of the desert, and wolves often come out at night, and there is no water source nearby! ”

"The food and drink we brought was adequate. Besides, why are the tigers down the mountain afraid of wolves? Xue Shao said, "Always give the prisoner a little time to go back and report the news." If our enemies had broken into the ambush circle they had set up in advance before they changed their plans, wouldn't it be a wrongful death? ”

Ai Yan blinked a few times after hearing this, and said a little "impressively", and said curtly: "I can't imagine that you are still a little smart." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Xue Shao smiled, "You're right, I'm just a little clever." With such a talent as Princess Aiyan, there is no comparison! ”

"......" Ai Yan gritted his teeth in hatred, "Are you scolding?" ”

A group of people next to him laughed loudly, and the moon slave laughed especially happily.

Ai Yan was very annoyed, "You know that Lu Dao has joined forces to bully me!" What else do you say about a boat of people, deceitful! ”

"Alright, Your Royal Highness Princess, just kidding, don't be angry." Xue Shao smiled, "Hurry up and rest!" Maybe there will be horse bandits or wolves to bite people at night, so we need to keep our spirits up! ”

Ai Yan glared at Xue Shao, walked to the side and sat down silently.

The moon slave walked up to her, "Lie down!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Ai Yan was wary.

"Aren't your legs swollen after a day of riding?" "Lie down with your feet up!" ”

Ai Yan was stunned, and obediently lay on his back on the ground, his feet raised upward. The moon slave grabbed one of her feet and shook it back and forth, patting and pressing it so that the blood that was pressing on her legs and feet could flow back, so that the blood vessels would not swell and the legs and feet would not swell.

Ai Yan is a person who grew up on the grassland, and of course knows these life skills on horseback. For a while, she felt a little grateful to the moon slave in her heart, and felt that she seemed to be a little too much before.

"It's your turn, ugly."

Yue Nu smiled, and just like her, she lay down with her feet raised high, and put on a sultry pose, "Look, are my legs long, straight, and round, without a trace of fat?" - That's how Childe complimented me! ”

"......" Ai Yan was just about to reach out and press it, but slapped her on the calf in annoyance, "Why don't you have the slightest bit of the reserve of a Central Plains woman?" ”

"It depends on who it's for!" The moon slave chuckled.

"Believe it or not, I cut off your toes?"

"If you have the guts, you will pinch it! Don't forget that there are only two of us women here, and if I don't protect you, no one knows what will happen to you! ”

"You dare to threaten me?"

"Yes. I'm threatening you! ”

……

Xue Shao sat not far away, holding a sheepskin bag to drink some water. He turned his head to watch the two women massage each other's legs while arguing, and couldn't help but laugh - to use an inappropriate metaphor, these two are really a happy couple!
