Chapter Forty-Six: The Wolves of Mobei
The night in the grassland is cold and windy, even at the end of spring. As the capital of the East Turkistan Treaty Kingdom, Longcheng has thick walls that can somewhat block the cold wind, and the houses in the city also provide shelter for the residents.
Abicheril sat up from the bed and covered the woman beside him with her mink coat - the spoils of war taken from Youzhou in the previous war, and as the Great Khan of Tukchi, he was naturally free to enjoy the most abundant flowers in it. However, Abicil was not happy, because Tuqi was the defeated side in the Battle of Youzhou. Although a large number of jewels, livestock, people, and various daily necessities were captured in the early stages of the war, they suffered heavy losses in the ensuing siege battles, and were finally flanked by the army of the Silk Country, and had to give up the fat that was about to reach their mouths and retreat into the desert.
As the Great Khan, Abicilir's duty is to plunder more wealth for the Turks, but if the price paid is too heavy, then not only will Abicheril's prestige be damaged, but also the strength of the Turkish state. Therefore, Abicilir needs to start another war and save face with a victory.
But to start a war you need intelligence, since the war with the country of silk, the border of the country of silk has begun to be tightly controlled, the spies sent rarely have the opportunity to send information, the amount of information occasionally sent is small, the quality is not high, it is difficult to discern the other party's movements, and as the internal response of the Empress Dowager Li after the battle of Youzhou, the news came that the emperor Liu Yan seemed to be aware of it, and began to hibernate. Therefore, in recent times, Abicilir has been completely unable to grasp the movements of the Silk Country, and even if he wants to make a big move, he can't do it.
In order to reverse this unfavorable situation. He sent his generals to lead small cavalry units to harass the border of the Silk Country. Raiding and fighting to complete reconnaissance work is costly, but it is a practical and effective way to obtain first-hand information.
Abicheril straightened her clothes, then stepped out of the room. Standing in the courtyard, bathed in the moonlight, Abicheril was so excited that he picked up a scimitar placed in the courtyard and danced in the courtyard. Abicilir is known as the No. 1 warrior of Tuqi, and it is not for nothing. His knife skills are superb. The tricks are ruthless, and the well-proportioned figure and flexibility perfectly combine strength and speed, and he is really a talented martial artist.
Suddenly, Abcilir heard a very slight sneer. This is something that will never happen! In his own palace, no guard dared to make a single sound, and the surrounding guards were heavily guarded, and it was impossible for others to see him practicing martial arts, and more importantly, Abicheril judged that the source of this voice was actually on the roof! Thinking of this, Abicheril put away the knife momentum and said lightly: "Who is peeking at Ben Khan practicing the knife?" If there are deficiencies. Please also ask for your advice. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he only heard a few strong winds flying towards him, and Abicheril knew that it was not good, and hurriedly blocked it with the scimitar in his hand. I only heard a few crisp sounds and smashed on the knife, which made Abicheril's arm numb, and the hidden weapon used by the other party turned out to be just a few small pebbles!
Abichellir was surprised. The other party's silent few stones are so powerful, so if he takes advantage of his own inattention, he will do it. Do you have a life? Just as I was stunned, I heard someone on the roof laugh and say, "Not bad." Yes, it's really good, and it can block my hidden weapon. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure jumped from the roof. By the light of the moon, Abicheril could see clearly that the visitor was tall, wearing the sheepskin jacket of an ordinary Tuqi people, with a handsome face and a light body. Jumping from the roof to the ground, but silently falling like a ball of wool, it is no wonder that many guards are unaware of this skill. Immediately, he said: "Your Excellency came to visit late at night, I don't know the name of Gao, what do you have to teach here?" ”
The man stood with his head held high and replied, "I have heard that Abichilir Khan is the first hero of Tukhi, so I have come to see what is going on. ”
Seeing that although this person was rude and bold, Abicheril was indeed equipped with stunts, and his words were straightforward and heroic, which suited his spleen and stomach very well, so he smiled and said: "Let Your Excellency see and laugh, it is actually difficult to live up to your fame, and Ben Khan's martial arts are far inferior to Your Excellency, and he is vain." ”
Yang Tao hugged his shoulders and smiled: "You don't have to be too humble, in terms of martial arts, I haven't seen anyone who can win me except for my master, your strength is indeed extraordinary, and you are already one of the best people I have ever seen, which is really quite remarkable." ”
"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Abicheril couldn't help but laugh, Yang Tao's arrogance really made him not know whether to be annoyed or admired.
I saw Yang Tao say again: "I have been secretly observing you for several days. Indeed, you can be called a wolf on the Mobei grassland, and you are a hero. I finally saw your martial arts today, and I was well worth it. ”
"Your Excellency came to Dragon City just to see you?"
Yang Tao's eyes widened and replied: "Of course, I heard that there is such a heroic figure as you, if you don't hurry up and come to see it, in case you are defeated and die one day, won't you miss it in vain?" ”
Abicheril's face sank: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yang Tao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Although you are a hero, you were born at the wrong time, and your opponent is Liu Yan, the emperor of the Silk Country." In my opinion, that Liu Yan is a lot worse than you in terms of martial arts, and he is not as wise and decisive as you in terms of acting, but this person has the capacity to tolerate people, and is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and then chooses the good and follows, the country of silk has a large population and talents, and it will surely emerge like mushrooms after a rain under his rule, so that the country of silk is bound to become stronger and stronger, and Tuqi wants to be the enemy of such a country, and the result can be imagined. ”
"Are you saying that Ben Khan will definitely lose to Liu Yan's little boy?" Abicheril was furious, this person in front of him had obviously seen Liu Yan, so it was possible for him to bring the reality of Tuqi back to the Silk Country to report to Liu Yan, and he had murderous intent in his heart, but he couldn't find a strategy to win for a while.
Yang Tao glanced at Abicialir and sneered: "Your murderous aura is too strong, don't bother to kill me, you can't do it." Let me give you three pieces of advice, first, don't raise any more troops to the south, that will only make you lose everything you have; Second, don't believe the information of the Queen Mother's old lady, she is just using you to pave the way for her power. ”
Abicheril was taken aback, this Yang Tao actually knew that he had colluded with the Queen Mother, and this person could actually understand the power conspiracy in the deep palace, which meant that Liu Yan might also know this information, and this person must not stay! Thinking of this, Abicialir couldn't help but clench the scimitar in his hand.
Yang Tao sneered: "Don't you give up?" Then I'll tell you a third piece of advice, don't use that knife, you'll die before you even hit me. ”
With that, Yang Tao jumped onto the roof, and then several ups and downs disappeared.
Seeing that the sheep Tao disappeared but was powerless to chase after him, Abicheril couldn't help but hate in his heart, and couldn't help but throw the scimitar in his hand to the ground, only to hear a strange sound, and the knife was broken in two! Abicil suddenly understood, it turned out that when Yang Tao attacked with a stone just now, he had already cracked the inside of this knife, and it would break with a little force, no wonder he would confidently advise himself not to use a knife against him. It seemed that this man was indeed a powerful character, but fortunately he did not seem to be too hostile to himself, and Abicheril couldn't help but fall into deep thought. (To be continued......)
