Chapter 57: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping II
The two cavalry teams are getting closer and closer, and although Honghu Street is wide, one side must give way.
The other party was still more than 300 steps away from Wang Fei and the others, so Wang Yong drove the black horse and stopped Wang Fei and the others to check the other party's armor and clothing.
"It's a Hui." After Wang Yong confirmed the identity of the other party, he relaxed his guard slightly.
The Hui cavalry also noticed the Beiting tooth soldiers who were draped all over their bodies, but when they saw the young knight raise his right hand, the cavalry behind him reined in their horses one after another.
"It's Fei Lang-kun ahead?" The young knight rode forward alone and bowed his hand in fluent Chinese.
"Prince Ye Hu, the reunion on the long street, it's really fate!" Wang Fei also recognized the other party at this time, and walked out from behind Wang Yong and saluted back.
"I don't know what Fei Lang Jun is doing in the city?" Prince Ye Hu turned over and dismounted, and asked with a smile.
"The war has not started, and it is very boring. A certain is going to go to the East Market to choose some gifts, and to honor Xuantang when the class teacher returns to Tingzhou. I wonder why the prince came to the city. Wang Fei took out the attitude of greeting colleagues in the company in his previous life, prevaricated casually and asked rhetorically.
Seeing that Wang Fei made up such a reasonable excuse without thinking, Wang Yong's black face moved slightly, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't help it; The corners of Ashina's mouth twitched, probably because he felt that Wang Fei's level of lying was getting closer and closer to his sister; Aitengna lowered her eyebrows and eyes, hiding behind Wang Yong, not wanting to attract attention.
"The filial piety of Fei Langjun can be described as touching the heavens and the earth. On the orders of his father Khan, he came to visit Mou Raye Hu and gave him a small gift. "Prince Ye Hu said it very sincerely.
"Then so-and-so won't delay the prince, and ask the prince to go first." Wang Fei smiled and gave way, but his feet did not move. Wang Yong and the Beiting Yabing were also like statues standing still, without the slightest intention of giving way.
Prince Ye Hu waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare!" Can't! The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of Shang, and the vassal of the Hui District is a vassal of the Hui District, so how can it compete with the kingdom of Shang. Please also go first! ”
"In this way, then thank you Prince Ye Hu!" Wang Fei understood in his previous life that "diplomacy is no trivial matter", and after crossing over, he knew that the pride of the Tang people and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty must not be inferior before the subject country. So he only gave in slightly, and calmly accepted Prince Ye Hu's concession.
Prince Ye Hu waved his hand, and the Hui cavalry immediately drove their horses to dodge on both sides of the long street, giving way to the avenue in the middle of the road.
"Thank you, Prince!" Wang Fei thanked him, then turned on his horse and led the Beiting Ya soldiers to slowly pass through the way of the Hui cavalry.
When the Beiting Ya soldiers passed, Prince Ye Hu kept standing aside with a smile on his face, and his attitude was very respectful.
Even if the beautiful Ashina clouds passed in front of him like a cloud, Prince Ye Hu did not squint. It was only when Aitenggana rode a Su Ye Bi that he let out a surprise "Huh".
After separating from Prince Ye Hu, Wang Fei couldn't help but fall into contemplation while driving his horse forward.
"What is the plan behind Prince Ye Hu's visit to the Black Mountain?" After gaining a deeper understanding of the strategic value of Moxi and Hezhong and the possible ambitions of the Hui Hui, Wang Fei was naturally a little wary of the Hui Hui's every move: "I have to mention a word to Judge Du when I go back in a while." ”
"Brother Fei, you're here!" Ashina Wenxia's surprised and tired voice interrupted Wang Fei's contemplation.
Wang Fei raised his eyes and saw Ashina Wenxia, dressed as a Qarluq, standing slightly haggard in front of the door of the Ruyiju Broken Leaf Branch, waving her jade hand excitedly.
Wang Fei was just about to turn over and dismount, and Ashina Xiaoyun behind him jumped on his horse, and Bai Lianju landed five or six steps in front of Ashina Wenxia.
Before Ashina Xiaoyun had dismounted, he bent down anxiously and asked, "Sister, why does your face look so bad!" ”
Ashina Wenxia glared at her sister with a worried face, and seemed a little hesitant how to respond.
"Wenxia, hurry up and bring everyone in, there are many people outside, it's not a place to talk." Su Sanniang's shout came from the store.
Hearing this, Ashina Wenxia hurriedly gathered her mind, and like an ordinary little maid like earth, she brought everyone into the store in a low voice.
"Alas, Wenxia, the key to disguise is to never forget the identity you pretend to be, and you can't show your feet anywhere. Do you just summon the appearance of Fei Lang Jun in line with the identity of a Gharlulu maidservant? After everyone entered the store, Su Sanniang did not greet everyone, and taught the disciples first.
"Master, the disciple is wrong!" Ashina Wenxia replied sincerely.
"Forget it, if you don't make an example, you must not do it again in the future. You go to the back to freshen up and change your clothes. Su Sanniang's mouth was stern, but her eyes were full of concern.
After Ashina Wenxia retreated, Su Sanniang walked to Ashina Xiaoyun and bowed and said: "Xiaoyun County Jun, the country has national laws and rules, and the skills of our master are not easy to learn. Sometimes it is inevitable to be a little harsh, and I hope that the county gentleman will understand. ”
"Thirteen Niang's words, I will convey them to my father. I think my father will understand the hard work of Thirteen Niang. Ashina Xiaoyun knew that Su Sanniang's words were not explained to herself.
"It's good that the county gentleman understands." Su Sanniang smiled, and then greeted Wang Yong, Wang Fei and Ayi Tenggena respectively.
After everyone sat down, Ashina Wenxia, who had changed into her dress, trotted all the way back from behind.
"Thirteen Niang is in a hurry to call us, but what did you find?" Wang Yong looked around, and when he saw that there were no outsiders in the room, Fang opened his mouth and asked.
"Actually, this is the news that Wenxia inquired about, so it's up to her to tell Wang Beijiang." Su Sanniang replied with a smile, her gaze lingering on Wang Yong's swarthy face for a moment.
"Farewell King, here's the thing. In the past few days, I have been dressed as a Qarluq, and I have been inquiring about news in the eastern and western cities of Shattered Leaf City. Ashina Wenxia said with a little excitement.
"Maybe it's because of Mrs. Asid, Sister Wenxia's facial features are indeed more Turkic. Judging from the appearance alone, there is indeed no flaw in disguised as a Qarluq. Wang Fei thought secretly in his heart. After getting acquainted with the Ashina sisters, Wang Fei was very familiar with their appearances, and knew that Ashina's facial features were more beautiful and delicate than those of his sister.
"This morning, after returning from the barracks, I disguised myself as a little maid again and wandered around the West Market. Suddenly, he heard seven Qarluqs in the wine shop, all of whom seemed to be soldiers of the same hundred, and complained while drinking, saying that their families had lost a lot because of the constant flight of the Turgish slaves. Ashina Wenxia continued.
Hearing the words "Turkey Slaves", Aitengna's eyes lit up.
"Actually, I didn't pay much attention to these seven Qarluqs at first, but it was only when they mentioned a centurion named Potu that he was killed by the Shatuos while chasing the Great Eclipse Scout, and it came to my attention." Ashina Wenxia continued. It was probably the first time she had found valuable information, and she was so excited that she didn't notice the strangeness of Aitengana.
Hearing the "Big Food Scout", Wang Yong's expression changed, and he immediately thought of the more than 100 big cannibals who had infiltrated Tingzhou.
Wang Fei quietly tugged at the corner of Ayitengana's clothes, and said in a low voice: "It may be the danger that Kudulu encountered when he launched the Turquoise Cavalry. ”
Aitengna nodded slightly, she had only heard from Du Huan that Kudulu had successfully rescued thousands of Turgish slaves, but she didn't know what kind of danger her brother had encountered.
Aitengna knew that her brother's actions in the Suye Valley must have taken a huge risk. But when she really heard that her brother might be hunted down by the Qarluqs, although she knew that her brother would be safe and sound in the end, her heart still clenched.
"The Qarluqs said that there were two people in the Great Eclipse Scout, one was a middle-aged warrior and the other was a teenager. Among them, the middle-aged samurai was particularly difficult, and the cover boy escaped. They killed and wounded a dozen people before they caught the middle-aged samurai. ”
When Ashina Wenxia mentioned "teenager", Wang Fei and Ayi Tenggana glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
Ashina Xiaoyun listened attentively to his sister's relay, and her eyes sparkled.
Their centurion Botu ordered these Qarluqs to escort the middle-aged warriors to the Xuanxi tent in Shattered Leaf City and hand them over to the Black Mountain, while he himself led the others to chase the young warriors. After handing over the middle-aged warriors to the guards of the Black Mountain, the Qarluqs received the reward and came to the western market to drink. But that night, the news came that Centurion Potu had died on the north bank of the Suye River. Then there was the scuffle between the Qarluqs and the Shatuos, and the rebellion and flight of the Turgish slaves. Ashina Wenxia said the rest of the information in one go.
After Ashina Wenxia finished speaking, she picked up a cup of Sanle pulp and took a big sip.
Ashina Xiaoyun looked at her sister in a daze, not understanding the importance of the Qarluq conversation she relayed.
"So, that mighty warrior Mudea was captured by the Qarluqs?" Wang Yong's self-talk solved Ashina Xiaoyun's question. When Mutaia negotiated with Wang Zhengjian in Tingzhou City, he had reported his home, so Wang Yong knew his name.
Su Sanniang smiled and nodded to Wang Yong, her face full of anticipation.
"It's been a few days since our army arrived in Broken Leaves, and the Black Mountain of Na Mou also went to visit Du Hu, but he never mentioned it?" Wang Yong pondered: "In addition, according to the information gathered by Judge Du, Mu Tai'a should still be with the Turgish Special Service Kudulu at this moment?" ”
"Farewell Wang, here's the problem!" Seeing that Wang Yong immediately grasped the crux of the matter, Su Sanniang nodded and said, "According to the news found out by Ruyi's residence, the Great Cannibal is currently a staunch supporter of Kudulu. At the end of February, when the Turgish fled while the Qarluq and Shatuo were fighting, the Qarluq and Shatuo actually caught up with Kudulu in the east of the city of Ashibulai. Originally, they had the strength to defeat the Turgish people, but they were forced back by the stone ** team transferred by the big cannibals. In the months that followed, the Wuhu Merchant opened by the Great Cannibal in Kulan City also continued to provide assistance to the fleeing Turgish. It is said that the Great Cannibal has done so many things that are not good for the Qarluq, how could Mutaia be so light and get out of the Xuanxi Tent? ”
