Chapter 44: Found It
Li Kuan didn't know anything about what happened in Chang'an City, and he was now rummaging through the corpses of countless Turkic people in the dark underground, just to find the legendary jade seal. He had searched for the large area around, and more than two hours had passed, and it was less than two quarters of an hour away. The Turks could come here at any time, and they had to leave quickly.
But Li Kuan was very bored, because if he left like this, he would definitely not be able to complete the task, find the heirloom jade seal within three days or upgrade the system to dark purple, which of the two choices is more reliable Li Kuan of course knows, so this heirloom jade seal must be found, otherwise he may be more auspicious!
Most likely, the large area in the center had already been destroyed by them, and there was nothing to be gained except the corpses of the Turks. There is no Datang woman, what is this swollen? It stands to reason that Princess Yicheng and Empress Xiao, as Jieli's wives and forbidden children, should definitely be in that place. But I couldn't find it. This made Li Kuan's heart sink, when will such a large ruin of the Turkic king's tent be found? Do you want to leave like this?
Li Kuan was unwilling, if he went to find some coal mine ghost, he knew when he could find it, and even if he found it, it was still a question of whether he could make the system purple. But the time is coming, even if you are unwilling, you have to leave, otherwise if you encounter the Turks, your party will end up dead. Walking out of the ruins of the Turkic king's tent and standing on the periphery, Li Kuan once again turned to look at the ruins shrouded in darkness and sighed.
A frustrated kick kicked open a collapsed felt tent in the southeast corner of the camp. Very small and shabby. I don't know which Turkic was unwelcome, but Li Kuan kicked away the skeleton of the felt tent that had fallen to the ground. I found out that there were still people inside, and they were still alive!
How is this possible, Li Kuan was surprised, he actually survived in such an environment! It's a miracle of life!
"Ahem......" A rapid cough sounded, and Li Kuan kicked open the felt canopy and shook up the dust and dust accumulated on the ground, making the people inside choke.
"Who are you! Stand up! Li Kuanqiang drew his horizontal knife with a loud sound, and the light was lit by the faint torch. Li Kuan saw three figures that were together, slender not like men, but women! So Li Kuan didn't directly step forward and slash and kill. Instead, he asked out loud.
I took two steps forward, and only when I went up did I find that there was a very thick carpet on the ground in this place, which was soft, no wonder there were still people alive! It's just that how can there be such a luxurious felt canopy in this area near the edge? This doesn't make sense!
"It's Han Chinese! I don't know which general of Datang is it? A voice came. Softly, but there is a majesty that has been in the position for a long time. This is not imitation of pretense, it must be cultivated by staying in a high position for a long time, and every move and word has style.
This voice made Li Kuan even more sure in his heart that the person covered by this felt canopy was not ordinary, so he stepped forward directly, and the horizontal knife was clenched in his hand, if the other party moved slightly, he would launch a thunderous blow. There must be only a few women from the Han family in this Turkic king's tent, so Li Kuan was pleasantly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect to make such a discovery when he was leaving. Lady Luck still favored him.
"But the former Princess Sui Yicheng and Empress Xiao?" Li Kuan asked out loud again.
"It's Hongu! Who are you? Another voice sounded on the other side, it wasn't the same one from before. No longer weak, but sonorous and powerful.
"This king is Li Kuan, the king of Tang Chu!" Li Kuan replied proudly.
"It turned out to be a traitor of the Li family!" The sonorous voice snorted coldly.
"You're the princess of Yicheng! Your brother is cruel, and his ancestors rose up for all the people of the world, is he a traitor? You hate my Li family so much, it seems that you have not provoked the relationship between Jieli and my Datang! Li Kuan said coldly.
"Do you still want this palace to provoke! The Turks are like this, the main palace just told him about the prosperity of the Central Plains, and he went straight to raise troops, haha......" The sonorous female voice laughed.
"Take it!" Li Kuan gave an order, and more than a dozen Xuanjia guards went straight forward and pressed the three women on the opposite side directly.
When he caught these women, Liu Wei found a box beside them, carved from rosewood, which looked unusually simple and heavy.
At this moment, a system prompt came to Li Kuan's mind: "The jade seal of the country has been found, the task is completed, and the reward system is opened!" Estimated time 24 hours! ”
"There's a reward?" Li Kuan couldn't react a little, it seems that he still hasn't understood the function of this system! But now is not the time to do this, so let's go up first. So after taking the rosewood box handed over by Liu Wei, wrapping it in a piece of silk cloth and tying it on his back, the group began to go up.
After some efforts, more than a dozen soldiers finally came up, and the three women were also tied to the rope and pulled up, although it was inevitable to bruise or something, but there was no way, only Princess Yicheng of these three people had martial arts, Queen Xiao and the maid they measured were ordinary women, how could they climb the cliff of more than 20 zhang, and Princess Yicheng Li Kuan They didn't dare to let her climb up by herself, this woman had a deep hatred for Li Kuan and others. What kind of demon moth is a joke! So they had to wrap the three of them in their sleeping bags and tie them up with ropes.
After coming up, the group got on their horses, and then began to evacuate in the direction of Datang. The horse's hooves trampled on the snow, and Li Kuan and the others enjoyed the return journey with a brisk mood.
At this moment, the soldiers in front suddenly let out an exclamation: "The Turks are coming!" Come on! ”
So the group hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled in the other direction, but they did not expect that they would come face to face with the Turks. What kind of thing is this, I was obedient before, but at this last moment, I actually ran into the Turks.
Li Kuan and the others were galloping on their horses, and the horses spewed out clumps of hot gas, which condensed into mist in the air. Little Gray Ash also ran along, its little brothers had already scattered at the moment when the earth collapsed, and Li Kuan felt that the harvest of the grassland trip was enough, so he didn't let Little Gray Gray gather the old department again. At this time, I regretted it a little, if there was an escort of this steppe wolf, it would definitely be much easier, at least the Turkic horses behind would not run so happily as they do now.
Li Kuan looked back in the frantic run, there were not many Turks in this wave, only about two or three hundred, wielding scimitars and holding longbows, and pressed towards them. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was more than 100 zhang beyond the range of the bow and arrow, otherwise they would have been greeted by a large number of arrows.
This time, they were so close to these Turks, and it was also because they were negligent, the scouts were not sent out at all, and the sky was dark, and it was obviously snowing heavily, so they couldn't find this group of Turks.
The two sides began a speed contest on this steppe, and the Turks came from afar, all the way, and soon fell behind. Li Kuan and the others had been resting because the war horses had been resting before, so they ran faster and faster, and gradually the distance was widened. Li Kuan breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the distance, this time he came to the grassland and suffered enough of the loss of few people, and he was chased by the Turks many times, which was really a bit embarrassing. So he made up his mind that he must have an army of his own, at least about a thousand people. This kind of scumbag spirit of fleeing when encountering a large number of enemies is really enough, and although these Xuanjia guards listen to him for everything, they are definitely not his henchmen, and they have only one object of allegiance, that is, Li Er, it can be said that the reason why these Xuanjia guards listen to him like this is because he is Li Er's son, not because he is their commander.
The Turks in the rear saw that they couldn't catch up with Li Kuan and the others, and they weren't pursuing, but in their camp, a stout man rode a jujube red war horse, and the longbow in his hand was a big size larger than the bow body of others, this was a five-stone strong bow, the range was much more than the three-stone strong bow, and the strength was greater and more fierce. The strong man pulled out a long arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the bow, his arms were strong, the roots of the green tendons burst out, the muscles of his arms were knotted like half of iron beating steel, and the black and faint muscle bumps were on top of the green tendons swelling like small dragons. A cold light flashed in his eyes, aiming at the kid who was riding the best war horse. As soon as the hand was released, the arrow disappeared directly, cutting a straight line in the air, and there was not much downward trend, and it shot straight at Li Kuan.
Li Kuan's heart suddenly palpitated, and he felt that some danger was coming. So he turned his head to look. Suddenly, a cold light shot straight at him in the air at an indescribable speed.
"Lord be careful!" The people behind him only had time to shout, and the arrow had already reached Li Kuan's back. The reason why he is called the prince is because after the capture of Princess Yicheng, in order to prevent this princess of the former Sui from having a reason to look down on the prince of the Tang Dynasty, because if you call the captain of the school, her identity will definitely look shabby.
Li Kuan didn't care about any face at this time, a lazy donkey rolled off the horse, fell into the snow, and landed on his back. Although he dodged the deadly arrow this time, he also lost the speed of running with horsepower, and what was worse was that Li Kuan fell off the horse, and the moment his back hit the ground, he remembered that he was still carrying the rosewood box on his back. Suddenly, at the moment of hitting the ground, there was a cone pain in his back, and his spine was actually twisted at this moment!
Cold sweat flowed down all of a sudden, the spine is a big dragon in the human body, if there is the slightest damage, it may cause the consequences of Yan zhòng, but now is not the time to scruple about these, saving life is the most important, hurriedly rolled over and the carp rose from the ground, and then moved his legs and quickly chased towards the clouds.
At this moment, the stout Turk behind saw that Li Kuan had dodged his arrow, but he fell from his horse, a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and once again he shot at Li Kuan who was running wildly.
Li Kuan endured the pain from his spine, his legs walked rapidly, and he was about to catch up, but once again a sense of crisis arose in his heart: "It's not good to ......" A forward pounce dodged this fatal arrow again, and with the power of this pounce, he grabbed the saddle of chasing clouds. Then it's time to dodge.
"Humph!" The Turkic in the back is angry and hatted, this guy actually dodged again! (To be continued......)
