Chapter Forty-Nine: A Thousand Miles Meet, but Nothing Rises Six
"If you don't have to worry about me, my brother can devote himself to the great cause of reviving the khanate." Ayitengna, who was holding back her sour nose, asked in a low voice.
"Of course I want to rebuild the Khanate with my sister!" Kudulu roared under his breath.
"In this case, let's ask my brother to listen to my arrangement." Ai Tenggena was ruthless, and let go of the arms holding her brother: "I guarantee that my brother can leave Tingzhou safely." ”
"Do you have a way?" Kuduru asked incredulously.
Ayitengna, whose face was full of tears, nodded lightly: "I don't dare to say that it is nine out of ten, but I can give it a try after all." ”
Outside the carriage, Wang Zhengjian and Mu Tai'a finally talked about the most critical issue of the moment after several temptations.
"General Mudea, aren't you bored sitting in the carriage? If you have any ideas, you might as well come down and talk about them. Mi Wei's voice rang out again.
"I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to leave Tingzhou with my subordinates"
"You get out of the carriage, and naturally let you go."
"Your army's credibility is not very reliable!" Mutaia pointed at Ma Lu, "That general once attacked one of my brothers. ”
"The general's credibility is also questionable. At that time, he said that he would release people after leaving the barracks, but he secretly ran more than ten miles! Wang Zhengjian retorted.
Mutaia was about to fight back when he suddenly saw a white figure leaning out of the window of the carriage.
He thought that the hostages in the carriage were going to escape, and he was going to cut them backwards with a swing of his knife. As soon as the bright scimitar was raised, a long arrow came straight at his wrist.
Mudea flashed sideways, and the long arrow hit the wheel, and the tail wings trembled.
"Stop!" Li Dingbang hurriedly shouted the order and slapped the horse forward.
The arms of the Beiting light horseman, who was about to loosen the strings but hurriedly stopped, were still swollen, and Li Dingbang had already swung his knife and fought with Mu Tai'a, and then leaned over to pick up Ai Tenggena who jumped out of the car window.
Mutaia shouted: "It's okay inside!" As he prepares to push the door in.
Kudulu leaned against the car door and said, "It's okay, I let her out." Maybe it can help us get out of this predicament. ”
After Li Dingbang took Ayi Tenggena off the war horse, Wang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand and asked, "The Great Food Samurai didn't hurt you, did he?" Everyone else is fine. ”
Aitengana nodded, then let go of Wang Fei's hand, walked to Wang Zhengjian's horse, and bowed: "Wang Duhu, I don't know if I can talk to you alone." ”
Wang Zheng didn't expect this to happen suddenly, he looked at the carriage, looked at Du Huan, looked at Wang Fei, and then smiled: "Why not?" ”
The two of them, escorted by the tooth soldiers, stayed more than 200 steps away from the carriage.
Wang Zhengjian waved his hand, and the tooth soldiers scattered in a circle, away from the two.
Aitengna fell to her knees and said, "I beg you to spare my brother's life." ”
"Brother?" Wang Zhengjian was puzzled, but immediately understood: "The young warrior who entered the carriage is a Kudulu special service?" ”
"It's the foolish brother!" "He is under the control of the Great Cannibals, and he is bent on reviving the Turgish Khanate. ”
"I'm afraid that not only will you want to revive the Turgish, but you will also seek revenge on me!" Wang Zheng's words were like knives, pointing directly to the point.
"Foolish brother may have this thought, but my life is to be saved by Du, and Judge Mengdu carefully teaches, Xiao Langjun pities everywhere, and I dare not complain." Ayitengna was particularly sincere.
Wang Zhengjian smiled, shook his head and said, "If you don't have it today, you may not have it tomorrow." However, a certain attack on Broken Leaf City was a war for the country, not for personal revenge. It is my sin to draw his sword and kill himself. However, a certain general believes that the war is inferior to women and children, and the conquest does not hurt the innocent. That's why I left you alive and didn't send you to Chang'an. If you have any resentment in the future, find so-and-so. But my idiot is sincere to you, and I hope the county lord will be clear about this. ”
"I am an ordinary commando servant girl who serves Xiao Langjun in the inner mansion, and I am no longer the lord of the county, please also protect Mingjian." Ai Tenggana said solemnly: "The reason why I begged Du Hu to spare my foolish brother is also for the sake of state affairs, not personal feelings, and I hope that Du Hu will listen to me." ”
Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and said strangely: "Why state affairs?" ”
"After the Battle of Broken Leaves, Du Hu handed over Broken Leaf City to the Qarlu Department as the big tooth, although there were Shatuo people to contain them, but they were not very relieved. I heard both Judge Du and Xiao Langjun mention that there was a grassland dispute between Ge Lulu and Sha Tuo, but they did not share a deep blood feud. Once the two are embarrassed, what should they do? Ayitengna looked up at Wang Zhengjian's tiger eyes and talked eloquently.
"Go on." Wang Zhengjian was noncommittal.
"The big cannibal has the intention to support the foolish brother as a puppet and a pioneer, and uses the power of the Tuqi Shi people to invade eastward to Suyeshui. Why don't you take advantage of the foolish brother's heart to restore the country and use the heart of the foolish brother to cup up the Qarlu and Shatuobu. Xiao Langjun once said that the situation is stable with three legs. In this way, the Suye River Valley will never be an external disaster of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"What if His Highness defeats Qarlu and Shatuo with the help of the Great Eclipse and rebuilds the Turgish Khanate? Am I not self-defeating? ”
"Du Hu, with the cunning of the Great Food, how can he really help the Turgish. If the foolish brother wants to rebuild the khanate, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! Aitengna hurriedly explained.
"It's hard to reach the sky, but it's still possible after all!" Wang Zhengjian still did not let go.
"Duhu, Brother Fool is an emotional person, I have been loved by my father and brother since I was a child. In case the foolish brother is really greedy for luck, the restoration of the country will be successful. Datang can also use me to implicate him and not be a scourge. For this reason, I, Aitenggna, am willing to make an oath to the almighty God of Light and never leave Datang for the rest of my life. Once the ...... is violated"
Ayitengna was about to take an oath, but Wang Zhengjian pulled her up and shouted in a low voice: "Little county lord, don't make any oaths indiscriminately. The future is something that no one can say! A certain promised to let His Royal Highness the Secret Service go! ”
Ai Tenggena was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly broke free from Wang Zhengjian's hands, and kept saying: "Thank you for protecting the great kindness!" Whether or not I need to swear to the Protector, I will never leave with my brother today. ”
Wang Zhengjian sighed deeply, looked at the sky in the southeast direction, was speechless and silent for a long time, and then strode away.
Du Huan and Wang Fei, who were staying far away, saw that Wang Zhengjian had left, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Ayi Tenggena.
"It's His Highness Kudulu inside, right?" After Du Huan comforted Ayi Tenggena, he asked quietly.
Ayitengna nodded silently, and then hugged Wang Fei and cried bitterly.
Wang Fei gently patted Ayitengna's back, letting her tears soak her shoulders.
In the carriage, an anxious Mudea watched vigilantly at the movements around him and called out to Kudulu to open the door for him.
Kudulu slammed against the car door, thinking about his sister's words, tears raining down.
"Since my brother loves me so much, let me stand up and do something for my brother today. After my brother leaves, let go and pursue the great cause of reviving Turgish, and don't think of me. I'm okay in Tingzhou, don't worry! After I leave, don't let the big cannibal hurt the sisters in the car. There are two more things, please keep in mind my brother: although my father Khan died because of the Tang Dynasty, the big food is also a wolf's ambition, don't be gullible, my brother must be very careful; If he succeeds in recovering the country, he hopes that his brother will let go of his old hatred and become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty again, otherwise the Tuqi Shi people will never have peace. ”
With that, Aitengana opened the window and jumped out.
Although he didn't know what method his sister would use to help him leave, he already knew that this method would definitely come at the expense of his sister's freedom and happiness.
Mu Tai'a was still yelling, and suddenly he heard the long-bearded Tang general on the opposite side say something in a loud voice in Chinese.
Mutaa was wondering why there was no translation this time when the car door was loosened. Kuduru stepped out of it, then dropped his scimitar and blocked the car door with his body.
Tang Jiang said something to Kudulu again, and Kudulu hesitated for a moment and pointed at Mutaia.
General Tang waved his hand, and the four large food horses with complete saddles were led by Tang Jun and placed near the carriage.
Mu Tai'a, who couldn't understand Tang language, was so anxious that he grabbed Kudulu's arms with both hands, and shook him desperately and asked, "Then what did General Tang say to you?" ”
Kudulu smiled bitterly: "He said that he can let us go." However, only two people can go, so I have to choose who to take? ”
"Who did you choose?" Mutaia roared, suddenly understanding something. He glanced at the besieged Lahaman and the few remaining wounded Khorasan cavalrymen, and his chest tingled.
"Why did Tang Jun let you go?!" Mutaia roared like a mad beast.
"It was for my sister!" Kudulu also roared in a furious manner, "You know what? Except for my sister, there were just a bunch of handmaidens in the carriage! We don't really have any important hostages in our hands that can blackmail our opponents! Tang Jun can completely kill us all without pity for these little girls! It was my sister's intercession that brought me my escape! ”
Mutaia was stunned, his previous fear turned out to be true, there was no worthy target in the carriage.
Mu Tai'a no longer hesitated, pushed Kudulu away with both arms, and bent down into the carriage.
The sound of the Tang army's light cavalry pulling the bow and the swinging of the horizontal sword was like a gust of wind.
A carriage of little ladies dressed in Yahuan costumes is still asleep, and they don't know what kind of danger they have experienced when they have a big dream.
Mutaia looked closely, silently exited the carriage, turned and jumped onto the big horse.
Kudulu glanced at the crowd, stared at his sister standing beside Xiao Langjun, was ruthless, and jumped on the big horse.
Wang Zheng saw a wave of his right hand, and the Tang army's light cavalry gave way to the west gate. But Rahaman and others are still tightly besieged.
At this time, the defenders of the West Gate also received military orders from the tooth soldiers, and the closed city gate was slowly opening.
Mude'a urged his horse to gallop without looking at Rahman. Kudulu glanced at the Khorasan cavalry, then quickly turned around and left.
Seeing Mudea and Kuduru getting farther and farther away, Rahaman laughed, raised his scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "Khorasan cavalry, let us follow Allah's instructions, and the kingdom of heaven will meet again!" ”
Several scimitars were swung at the same time, but the target was no longer the enemy, but the flesh and blood of the wielder.
Ma Ling was anxious to stop him, but found that he had no bow and arrow with him. Wang Yong looked up, and Luo Puli's long arrow was already whistling towards Rahaman's arm.
With a pop, the arrow sank deep into Rahaman's right arm, and he couldn't help but move. Tang Jun thought that he could stop Rahman's suicide, but unexpectedly, he got the perseverance from nowhere, and wiped his neck with a knife with a difficult swing of his injured arm.
The meandering blood flowed all over the ground, making it extremely dazzling to look at. Whether it is the Han Chinese, the Sogdians, or the Uighurs, or the Great Cannibals, when the blood flows out, it is all the same bright red and miserable.
Ashina Yang stepped on the congealed blood and said to Wang Zhengjian: "It's a pity that I didn't leave a living mouth, otherwise I could torture more information." ”
"No need." Wang Zhengjian shook his head: "People who have the heart of death can't ask for any information in their mouths. Besides, after this incident, there is enough information to be obtained. ”
Ashina Yang thought about it and nodded approvingly: "So brave and so heroic, the strength of the Great Food Army cannot be underestimated, and the Western Expedition is by no means a smooth road." However, let go of the Turgish special service, will the government affairs hall be there? You don't need to send someone to follow you......"
Wang Zhengjian glanced at Ashina Yang meaningfully, and then said, "Although the county lord of Yiyue is young, the strategy he proposed is also to save his brother. But what she said, there are also two or three points that can be used. After the Broken Leaves of the Qarluqs, they became more and more arrogant, and even more unbearable than the Turgish. It is not impossible to beat the remnants of the turks supported by the big food. Since the Great Food Rebels attach so much importance to the movement of our army, it is very likely that they will suspend the momentum of the westward offensive and turn eastward. A vicious battle is inevitable, but it is also in line with the meaning of a certain western expedition. As for the matter of the lord of Huaiyuan County coming to Tingzhou, the big cannibal knows and doesn't know, and the difference is not big. Related matters, a certain will be played as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that Wang Zheng's mind had been decided, Ashina Yang wisely stopped insisting on his own opinion.
In the west of Tingzhou City, Kudulu's tears fell bit by bit and rain, some fell in front of the mountain gate of Xida Temple, and some fell on the path of the humble polo field.
The two brothers and sisters met for thousands of miles, but in an instant, they had to part ways. This situation, no matter how hard-hearted it is, can't bear it.
As Mudea's mount turned south, Kudulu took one last look at Tingzhou City, which was about to disappear into the horizon, and secretly swore in his heart: "The God of Light is above, and I, Kudulu, swear hereby that I will do my best to save my sister from Tingzhou!" If you violate this oath, you will be killed by five thunders and gods together! ”
A young man with a stirring heart always likes to express his inner emotions with a heroic oath, as if he does not promise so much, it is not enough to show his sincerity and bravery.
Many years later, Ayitengna, who had been tempered by the wind and frost for a long time, understood the heavy price behind the oath, and finally realized how benevolent and broad the elder who refused to let her swear have.
