The undulating back of the horse revived Wang Fei from the shock of being held hostage again. The firelight in the northwest rose enchantingly in the night wind, showing a burning momentum.

The man in gray raised his whip and urged the horse, and at the same time shouted something to the package behind Wang Fei. The words were blown away by the swift wind that swept across the face, and were quickly annihilated by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves.

The man in gray shouted for a long time, but he couldn't help but get anxious when he didn't see any movement in the package. He put his whip hand out and peeked into the package, as if he understood something. Reaching out and taking out a small porcelain bottle from his clothes, he opened it in the package, and Wang Fei smelled a faint fragrance in front of him.

After the fragrance dissipated, the package behind Wang Fei moved slightly, and then a slightly confused voice floated out, asking something in a language that Wang Fei didn't understand. The gray-clothed man was overjoyed, hurriedly responded, and said a string of words excitedly. It's a pity that Wang Fei couldn't understand a word, but he felt that his words were very similar to what the man in black said.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbles in the September night wind. Because of the humidity of the rivers and the protection of the high mountains in the north and south, the climate of the Suyeshui River Valley is pleasant in the Western Regions. But in the evening of the ninth lunar month, there is already a chill in the night wind. But the violent high-speed gallop made the gray-clothed man's mount sweaty, as if it had just been fished out of the water. The man in black was still chasing after him, and from the sound, it seemed to be getting closer and closer, after all, there were two more people in the gray man's horse.

Several times, Wang Fei felt that the horse of the man in black was already approaching a distance from the body of the horse, but before the man in gray could move, he heard the sound of sharp arrows tearing through the air behind him, and went straight to the back of the man in black. The man in black was quite afraid of the long arrow behind him, and as soon as he heard the sound of the long arrow coming, he quickly changed direction to avoid the arrow path, but as soon as he changed direction, his speed slowed down, and he was a few feet away from the man in gray. The man in gray was wary of the long arrow at first, but later found that the long arrow was always helping him, consciously or unconsciously, so he no longer cared, and just desperately urged the mount.

Wang Fei didn't understand why the shooter behind him wanted to help the man in gray at first. Later, after thinking about it, I understood. He is currently in the hands of the man in gray, Wang Yong and Ma Ling will inevitably throw a mouse trap and dare not directly attack the man in gray; And the man in black broke into the camp at night, hijacked himself with a knife, and did not believe in his words, he must be friend or foe, Wang Yong and Ma Ling will never let themselves fall into the hands of the man in black again, so they choose the lesser of two evils, and would rather choose to help the man in gray.

And the wet Arabian horse under the crotch also made Wang Fei understand the reliance of Wang Yong and Ma Lan in the electric light, that is, the war horse of the Tang Army. Arabian horses are tall, immense, and adept at sprinting short distances; The Tang Army's war horses are mostly Turkic horses from the northern desert, and Turkic horses are the predecessors of the famous Mongolian horses in later generations.

Now there are three people in gray at once, and the speed cannot be fully utilized; The man in black was tired by the long arrows that kept attacking from behind, and he kept slowing down and speeding up, and he was gradually about to catch up with the Tang army behind. Thinking of this, Wang Fei's heart was relieved.

The person behind seemed to feel a little stuffy, leaned out of the package, and touched Wang Fei's face with his arm. Wang Fei suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and his mind lit up, and he understood that the person behind him was the little lady Wang Yong saved in the woods where he had an accident before. "Could it be that the man in black is actually here for this little lady, and he is just being implicated?" Wang Fei secretly thought.

The little lady in the back looked around curiously, and then said a few words to the man in gray, listening to the tone as if she was asking something. Although the situation was urgent, the man in gray patiently answered the little lady's question.

The little lady suddenly smiled, put her head to Wang Fei's ear, and said something. Wang Fei's ears were rubbed by the little lady's hair, and she suddenly felt her face heat up sharply. The atmosphere suddenly became charming, and the wind blowing in his face was much softer in an instant.

Wang Fei was indulging in the night wind of September, when suddenly a fierce flame rose in front of him, and a heat wave washed Wang Fei's red face along the north wind. When I looked up, a large city was burning in the light of the fire, and Shattered Leaf City was once again ravaged in the midst of this war. And Wang Fei only found out at this time that they had run from the Tang army camp in the south of the city to the edge of Broken Leaf City.

In the northwest of Shattered Leaf City, the sturdy Zhu Evil Bone grabbed the restless war horse and stood upwind, ignoring the flames in his own camp, just laughing at the fire of Shattered Leaf City. In front of him, countless Shatuo soldiers were shooting rockets into Shattered Leaf City, and the fire became more and more ferocious in the wind.

The sturdy Shatuo prince Zhu Xie was loyal to the bones, and he opened his mouth several times to speak, but he held back. "Zhong'er, do you want to ask why you burned this Broken Leaf City?"

"Father Khan, the commander's order to our army is to ambush near the camp, and when the Turgish people break through the camp and follow and attack, he didn't order us to burn this Broken Leaf City?"

"Zhong'er, are you still too young?" Gu Duzhi laughed twice, "I came to ask you, who is the enemy of my Shatuo clan?" ”

"My great enemy of the Shatuo clan?" Zhu Xie was contemplating for a while, and slowly replied, "Ge Lulu and our clan have always fought around the pastures west of Jinshan, and Ge Lulu has a large population and arrogant behavior, which is really the great enemy of our clan!" ”

"Oh, what about Qarlu, but Kallu?" Gu Zhi was noncommittal to his son's reply.

"Except for Qarluq, that's the Uighurs. The Hui have established a khanate, and Guli Peiluo was canonized as Huairen Khan by the Heavenly Khan, with nearly 200,000 people controlling the strings, and it is the largest force in Mobei today. Hui is a vast land north of the Golden Mountain, and it is only a few days away from our people, and it is a great threat, and it can be called a formidable enemy. ”

There was a faint smile on Gu Duzhi's face, and the wind blew, and the fire in Shattered Leaf City was a little bigger. "You're right. Qarlu is a hungry wolf, and has a blood feud with our people, and my Shatuo population is not as good as Qarlu, and within ten years, Qarlu is a fierce enemy of our people; The Hui people are fierce tigers, and the Guli Peiluo has all the Western Turkic homeland, crisscrossing the desert, and even the Tang Dynasty has to admit its sphere of influence, and it will be a huge threat to our clan within fifty years. It's nice that you can see that. ”

"But," Gu Duzhi said, "although the population of Qarluq is large, but he is stupid and stupid in plotting to assassinate Montenegro, and he only has the courage of a horseman, and his behavior is arrogant, and he will be able to break it, and he is only a fierce enemy, not a great enemy." Hui Fang Xing, the army is flourishing, but the Hui people are not aggressive, and Pei Luo has great ambitions and long-term benefits. If it is powerful, I can cling to it; If it is weak, I can slowly invade it. Although it is a threat, it is not a great enemy of extermination. ”

"Then who is the great enemy of my Shatuo clan?" Zhu Xie's young face was full of doubts, "Could it be the Tubo people on the southern plateau?" Or the Great Cannibal of the West? ”

"Neither." Gu Zhizhi shook his head and said in a low voice, "Zhong'er? What is the difference between Ishata and the Turgish? ”

Zhu Xie was stopped by his father's question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The Turgish people and our Shatuo people were both subordinates of the Western Turks, and they all defected to the Tang Dynasty after the Western Turkic state was broken, and fought under the command of Anxi and Beiting Protectorates respectively. Zhong'er, you have to remember that the Turgish people today may also be our Shatuo people tomorrow. Those who can wipe the Shatuo people from the desert are not Qarluq, not Hui, or Great Cannibals and Tubo, but only Tang people. The Tang Dynasty was a dragon that roamed the nine heavens, with not only a huge population and an elite army, but also gorgeous and fine silk and a vast sea of books, far from being matched by a certain desert people. The Heavenly Khan treats us like a hunter treats a hound, and if we can bite and catch prey for him, he will reward us with money and titles; If we betray him or threaten him, he will not hesitate to send an army to entangle other hounds and bite us to death. Or exterminate us, or assimilate us internally, in short, once we anger the Heavenly Khan, there will be a disaster of extermination at any time! Gu Zhizhi's voice became low, "So, Datang, only Datang, is our enemy!" Zhong'er, as the prince of the Shatuo clan, you must keep this in mind, otherwise our Shatuo may be wiped out! ”
