"Tomorrow you will set off to join the envoy and send an envoy to the Turks," Li Jing turned around and picked up a short sword from his desk and said: "This sword was specially made for my grandson by the old man, a total of two, and this one will be given to you today for self-defense." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Che respectfully took it and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I will live up to expectations." Dare to ask Uncle, who is this envoy? The kid is so prepared. ”

"You will naturally know then, okay, go down and prepare," Li Jing directly ordered the expulsion.

Li Che wanted to say something, but finally withdrew from the tent with a fist. Stroking the short sword in his hand, he can't put it down. The hilt of the short sword is wrapped with filament to prevent his hand from slipping, and with a choking sound Li Che pulled out the short sword, the blade was sharp, and it was really a rare sword, although Li Che didn't understand it, he still made a good comment.

Since he is leaving, he naturally wants to talk to Li Yexu, after all, they have been together for a long time, and they are also good friends, and after talking about the benefits of Li Jing, it is not good not to say hello.

said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, but before Li Che walked to his tent, Li Yexu came to find him, and Li Yexu saw Li Che and said: "Brother Che, what did the general say, is it time to leave for the grassland?" ”

Li Che looked at Li Yexu's expectant eyes and nodded with a smile.

Li Yexu saw Li Che's affirmative answer, waved his fist happily, and was very excited: "I can finally enter the grassland, they all say how wide the grassland is, and now I can finally see it, Brother Che, are you very happy, haha, anyway, I don't have to look forward to it." ”

Li Che felt that he couldn't hit Li Yexu, and said happily: "Yes, I'm also very happy, I'm going to leave for the grassland tomorrow, it's really exciting." ”

"Yes, yes, tomorrow you're going to the prairie... What does it mean? Li Yexu heard that something was wrong, and asked puzzled.

"It's not interesting, I want to go, by the way, do you want to eat, I'm hungry," Li Che said and walked forward first.

Early the next morning, Li Yexu looked at Li Che with resentment, he went to beg Li Jing yesterday, but Li Jing did not agree to him to go on an envoy together, looking at Li Che who was far away, Li Che's words when he was parting rang in his ears: If I send bad news, remember not to let my father-in-law go to investigate.

Li Yexu was confused, but he had a bad premonition.

Li Che took the lead, surrounded by a team of guards sent by Li Jing, and behind him were several carts of gifts, nothing more than tea, porcelain, and glass products, these Li Che were very useful, and Tian Jingcheng was still the chief officer of the escort.

Li Che was going to Xue Wan's department ten miles away to join the envoy, so this section of the road was safe, but he still didn't dare to be careless, the feeling of always having someone staring at him has not disappeared, hey, what the hell is going on, it's really puzzling.

"Lord Captain, we will pass through Helan Mountain in the first five miles, and we will enter the grassland after Helan Mountain, and General Xue will send someone to pick up your lordship when the time comes," at this time, a guard came up to Li Che and said.

"Okay, let's move forward."

"Yes, it's tight."

The team of people and horses rolled away, not long before coming to Helan Mountain, speaking of Helan Mountain, it is estimated that people who understand history are no strangers, Helan Mountain is the meaning of "horse" in Mongolian language in later generations, this mountain starts from Bayan Aobao in the north, and reaches Maotukeng Aobao and Qingtongxia in the south. The mountain is majestic, if a group of horses gallop, hence the name.

Helan Mountain is 440 miles long from north to south, 40 to 80 miles wide from east to west, Helan Mountain is the main road of traffic since ancient times, there are several valleys of Helan Pass, Suyu Pass, Sanguan Pass, Baisi Pass.

Li Che and his entourage are walking Helan Pass, this valley is not the longest but not short, the mountains on both sides are not too high, it is a good place for ambushes and ambushes, but the army has passed through and is not afraid of great danger.

The convoy slowly drove into the canyon, and the eyes staring at Li Che were still hidden as if the task had been completed. A short time later, a group of knights dressed as Turks galloped into the valley.

"Lord Captain, there are falling rocks blocking the road ahead, and the convoy is afraid that it will not be able to pass, so it can only take a detour."

Well? Falling rocks?

"Go and inform Captain Tian that the convoy is retreating," Li Che instructed the guards beside him.

"Yes, sir."

Li Che rode his horse back, and as soon as he turned the horse's head, the guards just now had already turned around, and said anxiously: "My lord, the convoy behind has already driven out of the valley, and Captain Tian sent someone to say that they have gone from another valley, and it has been an hour. ”

"What? How do you find out now? Li Che had a bad premonition that he seemed to have fallen into a conspiracy.

"There has always been a pair of men and horses following behind, and the subordinates also asked to find out, and the team of soldiers said that you ordered it."

Broken! Li Che's heart suddenly burst and shouted, "Hurry up and rush out of the valley." ”

The guards around him were stunned, I don't know why Li Che was so flustered, but he was just a guard, so naturally he had to answer orders.

Li Che led everyone to run wildly, seeing that he was about to rush to the mouth of the valley, at this time, there was a shout from above, and a big stone fell from the sky, almost hitting Li Che, but the guards around him were not so good, and two people were smashed and died immediately.

Li Che raised his eyes with palpitations, and he didn't know when a group of Turkic soldiers appeared in the middle of the mountain, and at this time they were condescendingly shooting arrows with bows, if it weren't for a few guards desperately guarding Li Che, I am afraid that he would have been injured by an arrow.

Li Che didn't dare to stay for a long time, and rushed out of the valley under the escort of the guards, seeing that there were fewer and fewer guards, Li Che felt sad in his heart, these elites of the Tang Dynasty who got along with him lost their lives in the blink of an eye, and Li Che was close in his heart.

Outside the valley, there were still three people left around Li Che, and each of them was wounded, Li Che did not dare to stay for a long time, and galloped in the direction where the army was stationed.

But the sky did not follow people's wishes, and a group of Turkic soldiers rushed out of nowhere, Li Che hurriedly changed direction and galloped all the way west. After all, Li Che was only a half-horseman, and the Turkic soldiers he saw were getting closer and closer, and the guards around him were stimulated to be ferocious, and shouted: "Your Excellency, go quickly, it will be safe to enter the woods in front of you, and I will wait for your lordship to block it for a while." ”

Li Che didn't have time to respond, the three of them turned their horses' heads to the Turkic soldiers, Li Che knew in his heart that the three of them were afraid that they would not be able to come back, Li Che slapped the horse's buttocks hard, the horse was a little faster in pain, and he had to go into the woods, otherwise the efforts of the three would be in vain.

The woods were in front of him, Li Che rode his horse and rushed in, and when he looked back, he saw that only the Turkic soldiers were chasing here, and the three guards had already died in battle, and Li Che's tears flowed down very uncontrollably.

Li Che knew that now was not the time to be sad, he rode a horse to the depths of the woods, at this time riding a horse was already a burden, Li Che dismounted and walked, and the voice of a person could be faintly heard behind him, Li Che did not dare to stop, and kept moving forward.

The terrain is getting higher and higher, and Li Che has more and more difficulty to get up, seeing a smooth road ahead, Li Che walked a few steps, and before he could be happy, he fell into despair, and in front of him was a cliff, where the grass and trees were thick, and it was intimidating to look at.

"Look where you're going," there was an angry snort behind him.

Li Che was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, five or six Turkic soldiers had surrounded him, but Li Che could actually understand what the leader said, and he had to take a breath of Guanzhong, could it ......

"You are not Turks, who are you?"

"Hmph, there are so many mouths when he is dying, my brothers killed him for me," the leader said and pressed towards Li Che.

At this time, Li Che was not afraid at a critical juncture, he was going to die anyway, and he couldn't die, so he hurriedly said, "Wait." I have something to say. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and stopped, since it was a boiled duck, he was not afraid that he would fly, and it didn't hurt to listen to what he said: "Hmph, do you still ask for mercy?"

"There's no need to beg for mercy, presumably you're here to take my life, but I want to know, why did you kill me?" After Li Che finished speaking, he looked at the leader fixedly.
