"The Seventh Prince, thirty miles ahead is the Amza tribe, and when we get there, we can take a good rest, these days the Seventh Prince has been sleeping in the open air, and it is really hard!"

Standing on a slightly higher dirt slope to discern the direction, Rakshen said to Ashina Kuhezhen with a happy face.

Ashina Kuhezhen chuckled, saw that the sun had also set in the west, and then bowed his head and said: "It's not early, urge everyone to hurry up, and we can eat some hot food in the tribe early." ”

"Yes!"

Rakshen was ordered to leave, Ashina Kuhezhen looked at the somewhat dim sky in the north, but his mood was inexplicably heavy, and a layer of haze was also shrouded in between his eyebrows. For a whole day, the march of the team was smooth, and there was no harassment from any enemies, but this not only did not make Ashina Kuhezhen feel relaxed, but his heart was even more worried.

The enemy did not appear, and there was only one possibility, and that was to brew a greater conspiracy and look for more opportunities. What's more, in order to prepare for the happy surprise attack, everyone's spirits are tense, plus they didn't have a good rest last night, and now they are particularly tired. In particular, the speed of the team's march has slowed down a lot because of this, and the enemy is hidden in the shadows, which makes Ashina Kuhezhen very restless.

After receiving Lakshin's briefing, knowing that there was a tribe ahead to rest, everyone's spirits couldn't help but be lifted, and their tired faces couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed and happy, and their heavy steps seemed to be much lighter, and the speed of progress was much higher.

The Amza tribe was in a low, flat, slightly leeward valley, and its silhouette could not be faintly seen until it was close to five miles away. On the edge of the tribe is a clear and winding river, which disappears into the distant sky, and is as beautiful as a ribbon embedded in the grassland under the reflection of the setting sun.

Because it was nightfall, they could vaguely see the smoke curling in the tribe from a distance, and when they saw this scene, everyone felt hungry, and their hearts couldn't help but feel a little more anxious. However, when they approached the tribe for two miles, everyone was like a lightning strike, and their faces were sluggish.

Where was the smoke, it was clearly the smoke from the burning fire, and the dark smoke went straight to the sky, blending with the twilight, making the whole sky more and more gloomy, and also making everyone's joy turn into shock, doubt, and disappointment.

"Seventh Prince, that's—" Rakshen's eyes widened, and he looked at Ashina Kuhe Zhendao with some disbelief.

"Everyone be vigilant and ready to fight!" Ashina Kuhezhen's face was gloomy as water, his eyes stared at the distant tribe like a falcon, and he shouted, "Lakshen, send someone to inspect and see what happened to the Amza tribe?" ”

"Seventh Prince, there's a dead man here!" The scout had only run a few hundred meters before shouting. As he spoke, he brought back a Turk dressed in a bearded robe.

When the scouts squared the corpse on the ground, Ashina Kuhezhen looked condescendingly, and when he saw a bloody wound in the throat of the deceased, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"It's them! Could it be that they are ahead of us, what is he trying to do? ”

"Seventh Prince, who are you talking about? Isn't it happy? Laxin asked with a frown.

Ashina Kuhezhen didn't speak, just nodded slightly, his face was terrifyingly cold.

"If it's really this dog thief, it's really hateful!" Laxin slammed his fist on the saddle in anger and said through gritted teeth, his eyes glowing with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Probe again and see if there are any enemies in the tribe who are ambushing!"

A quarter of an hour later, all ten scouts returned safely, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief knowing that there was no ambush in the tribe, but when he heard the scouts talk about the situation in the tribe, the anger in his heart grew wildly, almost to the point of being uncontrollable.

"What did you say?!"

"Seventh Prince, there are only old and weak women and children left in the Amza tribe now, all the men who can go on horses to fight have been killed by the horse bandits who call themselves the 'Steppe Wolf King', and the grain in the tribe has also been burned by them, and most of the war horses in the tribe have been snatched by the enemy, and the others have been destroyed by the horse bandits, I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future!"

Hearing this, Ashnaku Hezhen didn't say a word, hit the horse and left, and soon came to the Amza tribe.

Looking at the women and children who wept bitterly and gathered the corpses of their relatives, looked at the mottled blood stains on the grass that were not completely dry red, and looked at the ashes that were still burning, Ashina Kuhezhen's eyes were about to split, and he only felt the anger in his chest, which made him can't help but raise his head and roar.

"Happy dog thief, get out, if you have a kind, you will fight me for three hundred rounds, you get out of here!"

However, despite Ashina Kuhezhen's hoarseness, there were only the sobs of women and children and the whimpering of the breeze like the cry of a wronged soul.

"Seventh Prince, please avenge us!" At this moment, a gray-haired old woman stepped forward tremblingly, fell to her knees with a "poof", and cried sadly.

"Please ask the Seventh Prince to avenge us!" Behind the old woman, more than 300 surviving women and children fell to their knees, crying bitterly.

"Old man, you get up first and tell me the details. Rest assured, I will not let my Turkic warriors die in vain! Ashina Ku Hezhen turned over and dismounted, and helped the withered old woman up, her voice was a little gentle, but the killing intent in her eyes became more and more intense.

"Seventh Prince, just an hour ago, suddenly a gang of horse bandits attacked our tribe, killed our men, burned our grain, and stole our horses! Those damn guys, ruined everything for us, how do we live! ”

The old woman clutched Ashina Ku Hezhen's arm with both hands, gritted her teeth, with a look of hatred and resentment, because she was emotionally aroused and used too much force, and the nails of her hands almost pierced into Ashina Ku Hezhen's arm.

Ashina Kuhezhen frowned tightly, and asked with a serious face: "Old man, my Turkic warriors are brave and good at fighting, and there should be no less than two hundred and fifty men in the tribe who can fight, how can you be completely wiped out, and there is not a single enemy corpse here?" How many people were there and what clothes they were wearing, do you remember? ”

"Those horse bandits are five hundred, and their bows and arrows and equestrian skills are very good, and they are no worse than our Turkic warriors! Those people were all dressed in black,"

As she spoke, the old woman suddenly saw the clothes on the clothes of Zhou Guo's pawn not far behind Ashina Kuhezhen, her face suddenly changed greatly, her emotions became excited and a little crazy, and she screamed: "It's them, I recognize them, they are in the same group as the horse bandits!" You wolves, give me back my life! ”

As she spoke, the old woman rushed towards the soldiers of Zhou Guo with a hideous face, and the women and children behind her also scolded angrily, and they all took their blades and wanted to kill everyone in Zhou State.

"Protect the princess!"

The general who was responsible for escorting the princess Luan was shocked when he saw this situation, and hurriedly shouted: "Protect the princess!" ”

As he spoke, the general drew his sword from his waist first, and looked at the crazy women and children with a vigilant and serious expression, while a thousand soldiers around him quickly surrounded the princess's luan, and in the sonorous sound, the cold murderous aura emanated from the snowy blade.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the princess was surrounded by airtightness, the general of the Zhou State breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the gloom on his face was not reduced in the slightest, and he looked at Ashina Kuhezhen and asked.

"Stop!"

Ashina Kuhezhen screamed, and the deafening sound suddenly shocked everyone, and everyone stopped their movements, either confused, surprised, or looked at him angrily.

"Seventh Prince, are you in the same league as the horse bandits?" The old woman had obviously lost her mind for hatred, and her cloudy eyes stared at Ashina Kuhezhen, and there was no other color in her eyes except resentment and anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ashina Kuhezhen scolded sharply: "I am the seventh prince of the Turkic majesty, how can I collude with the horse bandits? What's more, they are the VIPs of the Zhou State, the guests of the Khan, how can they be horse bandits?! ”

"The people who killed my son were wearing the same clothes as them, and I would recognize them even if they turned to ashes!" The old woman trembled all over, her withered face was hideous like a ghost, and now that the twilight was getting heavier, her evil aura was even more terrifying.

"Do you know that it is the Luan driver of the princess of the Zhou Kingdom, the person inside is my wife, you are so respectful and inferior, rude and honorable, if you are pregnant with the Khan's major event, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, and it will affect the entire tribe, do you really not consider the consequences?!"

Ashina Kuhe scolded him harshly for a while, and then slowed down his tone and said, "Old man, I assure you that the murderer is someone else, not Zhou. I will avenge all the warriors, you calm down first, okay? ”

The old woman's eyes struggled violently, and finally gave up her plan to rush forward, but she didn't trust Ashina Kuhezhen between her words, "What the seventh prince said is true?" ”

"I swear by the glory of the Ashina clan!" Ashina Ku Hezhen said solemnly.

"It's up to the Seventh Prince!" The old woman knelt down again, without the support of the angry and bloody spirit in her heart, her whole person seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, her thin body became more and more sad, and her eyes were even more empty and sad, containing infinite sadness.

……

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's all the officials who don't take good care of you, and you've been frightened for the past two days!"

In a spacious and clean tent in the Amza tribe, Yang Jian, dressed in ordinary soldier's clothes, stood respectfully in the center of the tent and said with self-reproach.

"Thanks to General Yang's blessing, everything is fine in this palace, but General Yang, you have endured humiliation and burdens all the way, and the stakes are very important, but you have to take care of yourself, otherwise you will suffer if you delay the emperor's major events!" In the tent, a woman with a phoenix crown and a curtain turned her back to Yang Jian and said in a tepid tone.

"Her Royal Highness the princess taught me a lesson, and the lower officials must remember it!" Hearing the faint sarcasm and anger in Yuwen Qianjin's tone, Yang Jian was indifferent and said with a sincere and respectful face.

"General Yang, it's not too early, the palace is tired."

"Her Royal Highness the princess should rest early, and the next official will retire!"

"Yang Jian, you hypocrite with a beast's heart, I really hope you die on the grassland!" When the footsteps disappeared outside the tent, Yuwen Qianjin turned around, her face was cold, and then she seemed to remember something, and her eyes were a little confused: "You are really here, but for me?" ”
