Reaching a preliminary agreement with the Tuoba tribe, Zhao Xiaoxi also wanted to see what kind of expression they would have when they learned of their conditions. For him, Tuoba Yu, despite his ability, was far from worthy of his attention.

In the previous negotiations, he had always emphasized the possible threat that Tuoba Jade posed to him. It is nothing more than an increase in the bargaining chips for negotiations, so that Tuoba Ye and Li Qianshun both feel that it is a very cost-effective thing to exchange for Tuoba jade.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who came out with Li Qinglu, naturally did not take the initiative to tell the other party. Whether she comes or not, in fact, as long as the Tuoba clan gives enough benefits, Tuoba Yu will be released, acting as a sincere alliance with Western Xia.

Always keep Tuoba Jade in a clasp and don't let them redeem at the end of the war. The purpose is that Zhao Xiaoxi feels that the value of this Tuoba jade is far less than some money and war horses. If you use it well, such a hostage can act as a killer weapon.

Now it seems that he still has a good backhand. As for the sincerity of letting the Tuoba tribe take it out, I am afraid that when the Tuoba tribe arrives, there is no way not to agree. Unless they really want to, fall out with themselves at this time.

When Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the Taiyi Pavilion, he called the Wu Wei beside him and secretly passed on a letter. In less than a day, this secret letter arrived at the Song-Xia border, where Tuoba Yu was imprisoned.

In this secret camp, Tuoba Yu actually lived a good life. It's just that he hasn't gone out since he was blindfolded and entered this secret camp. I didn't know where I was, and I didn't dare to have the idea of running away.

The reason is very simple, those secret camp guards who guard this place will give him a few pillars of incense every day to move freely. Even when he proposed that he wanted to ride a horse to move his muscles, those secret camp guards did not refuse.

It's just that Tuoba Yu is very helpless, and he rode around the grassland of the secret camp for a while. In the end, I still couldn't tell the difference. Where the hell is he? In the dense forest around the camp, he didn't dare to run into it at all.

During his stay here, he could enjoy the game that the guards had hunted from the mountains from time to time. Once, he even saw a group of guards guarding the place hunting tigers from the forest.

This means: When he didn't know where he was, he fled to the mountains and forests. I don't know if I can escape the pursuit of these guards. Second, Tuoba Yu was very worried about whether he would survive if he encountered those beasts in the mountains and forests.

If he hadn't looked at it, these martial guards would have been pretty good to him. Except for not talking to him much, which made him feel a little lonely, he stayed in this secret camp, and he really had no worries about food and clothing.

Just Tuoba Yu thinks. When was this kind of detention a head, the middle-aged man who led the secret camp. Suddenly, he called him up, who was resting, and said calmly: "By the order of the Pavilion Lord, someone will send you back to Western Xia later!" ”

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yu was very excited and said, "Sir, what you said is true? ”

The person in charge nodded and said, "You should know, I don't need to lie to you with this." Just one thing I want to warn you about, you can go back this time. First, the pavilion master sees the critical situation in your tribe.

Second, you must know it too. The true identity of my pavilion master. Now he is in the Imperial City of Western Xia, and he is about to marry your Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia. As sincerity, the pavilion lord agreed to the request of the Western Xia lord and released you back.

Just to avoid accidents on the road, I still have to remind you a few words. Don't try to run away, you'll die a terrible death. We don't even have to do it. It will also be difficult for you to return to Western Xia and your tribe alive.

The reason should not be said by me, this time you will follow the pavilion master's guards all the way to the Western Xia Imperial City. Along the way, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful. If you want to return to the tribe alive, follow the Pavilion Master's guards all the way.

After listening to the words of the person in charge. Tuoba Yu's face stiffened and said, "What does Mr. mean, someone in Western Xia doesn't want me to go back?" ”

The person in charge nodded and said: "Yes, from the secret letter sent by the pavilion master, this time it was your clan uncle Tuoba Ye who personally brought people to the imperial city to ask for a meeting with the Western Xia lord. It was only after the intercession of the princess of Yinchuan that the pavilion lord agreed to bring you back to Western Xia.

The consideration is more about the fact that the two countries are about to form an alliance, and you Tuoba tribe cannot afford to lose. But you are from the Tuoba tribe, so you should know that above you, you have two older brothers, and you also have younger brothers.

What kind of virtues they are, I believe I don't need to say more. Now that your father's identity is ill, plus a year of long-term warfare, the Tuoba tribe is also tempted, in order to take away your heirship, do you say they will let you return to the tribe safely? ”

Tuoba Yu, whose face was pale, knew that the person in charge in front of him didn't need to lie to him with such words. As the first heir to the tribe's throne, Tuoba Yu knew better than anyone that those brothers would do anything in order to seize the position of patriarch.

If the change of imperial power is bloody, then the heirs of a big tribe like them also leave no room for the heir. The larger the tribe, the more fierce the competition, and every time the patriarch is replaced, a group of people will die.

Seeing that Tuoba Yu's face finally changed, the person in charge also said calmly: "I know that you have always hated everything the Pavilion Master has done to you in your heart. But you should be grateful that it was the Pavilion Master who let you live until now and didn't kill you.

I'll keep you here, and I'll be served with good food and drink. This kind of prisoner treatment must be impossible for the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty who fell to you in the Western Xia before. According to the Cabinet Master's meaning, he asked you to reflect on your repentance here.

Now, it seems, is no longer necessary. The pavilion master asked me to convey a word to you, whether you want the two sides to continue to be enemies, or turn hostility into friendship, it depends on what choice you make. It's just that next time you meet on the battlefield again, you will be killed! ”

Leaving this sentence aside, the person in charge also ignored Tuoba Yu, who continued to be in a daze. Soon people brought the war horse, and as if they were transferred here, they were blindfolded and helped the war horse. The group quickly galloped out of this small plain surrounded by dense forests.

When Tuoba Yu was taken off his blindfold again, he found that he was already in a cavalry camp wearing the armor of the Great Song Praetorian Guards. After looking at the person in charge and handing him over, the head of the secret camp quickly rode away.

Looking at this Zhao Xiaoxi's guard general, Tuoba Yu also knew it. If what the person in charge said is true, then he really needs to rely on these people in front of him when he returns to Western Xia on this trip. As for the hatred for Zhao Xiaoxi, Tuoba Yu chose to endure it for the time being.

This thousand-man cavalry guard is led by Zhao Da, the captain of Zhao Xiaoxi's personal guard. At this moment, Zhao Da, who was wearing armor, already knew that the Xixia man who joined halfway in front of him was ordered by the pavilion master to escort him to Western Xia.

Zhao Da, who had participated in the Battle of Lanzhou, said very calmly: "Tuoba Gongzi, I didn't expect that it was we who arrested you that day, and now it is we who escort you back to China." It seems that we are really destined!

Regardless of what you think now, I need to remind you that this return trip has added a lot of unknown risks to my guards because of your arrival. So, you'd better stay with me all the way, can you do it? ”

From the information sent by the undercover Tuoba tribe spies in Buyi Pavilion, Zhao Da already knew that the Tuoba tribe had left with a thousand horsemen in Tuoba Ye not long ago. Soon, three more thousand horsemen secretly left the Tuoba tribe camp.

These three thousand horsemen, according to the tracking of Bu Yige and Wu Wei, already knew that they were rushing to the border of Song and Xia. As for what to do in this kind of place, think about it very clearly, Tuoba Ye went to the imperial city to find Zhao Xiaoxi's secret.

Hearing that Zhao Da also participated in the battle that day, Tuoba Yu said very sincerely at this moment: "Trouble General Zhao!" ”

Seeing that the other party was very smart, Zhao Da nodded and said, "It seems that you have realized the seriousness of the problem." On this trip to Western Xia, there were already three thousand-strong teams of the Tuoba tribe waiting on the road. Do you think they're here to pick you up, or are they here to kill you? ”

In the face of such an inquiry, Tuoba Yu was shocked that the other party's ability to find out the news was so powerful. This ability to anticipate the enemy and be the first can naturally ensure that when they fight, they will hit the other party unexpectedly!

Soon smiled bitterly: "General Zhao, since you know what is going to happen on the road, why do you need to test me with this?" Besides, with your pavilion master's ability, he must have already made arrangements. This time, I have to thank him. ”

Regarding Tuoba Yu's comprehension, Zhao Da seemed very satisfied and said: "Okay, since you understand everything, then I don't need to bother to talk more." Wait a minute, I'll send you a forbidden armor, and follow my guards! ”

'Thank you, General! ’

After chatting for a few words, someone soon brought Tuoba Yu military uniforms and armor, and of course, a war horse. When he finished changing his clothes, Zhao Da immediately ordered the army escort to continue to advance. And at this moment, Tuoba Yu knew that he was already on the border of Song and Xia.

Although he didn't know where he was being held, he knew more or less about the distance the horses could run. The secret camp where he had lived for many days must have been built in the forest on this border.

But if you want to find it, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. With this arrangement alone, Tuoba Yu felt that Zhao Xiaoxi was very terrifying. From what he learned, the secret camp seemed to have existed before the Lanzhou War, which showed that Zhao Xiaoxi had been prepared.

Thinking about it, I always felt that Da Song was weak and bulliful. Now that I think about it, as long as Zhao Xiaoxi exists, it is almost impossible for Western Xia to get involved in the Central Plains. This means that his chances of revenge are equally slim.

Disguised as an ordinary guard cavalryman, Tuoba Yu marched with Zhao Da and them. It can also be felt that almost all of the cavalry of this escort team are the elite of the soldiers. Riding skills and discipline made Tuoba Yu feel deeply shocked.

On the first night of entering Western Xia, Tuoba Yu looked at these escort cavalry, and the division of labor was clear. also sighed, such a well-trained cavalry, even the iron harriers of Western Xia, would not be able to do such an order and forbidden! (To be continued......)
