Yanmen Pass, also known as Xicheng Pass, is located in the Yanmen Mountain about 20 kilometers north of the county seat of Daixian County, is an important pass on the Great Wall, and Ningwu Pass, partial pass together called "Outer Three Passes", more humane "the world nine stops, Yanmen is the head", it can be seen that the majesty of this pass, the importance of this pass.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Zhao State, it has gone through thousands of years, but until now, this Yanmen Pass has always been one of the most important passes.

In order to prevent the rebellion of the grassland peoples in the north, Li Shimin set up a fortress at the commanding heights of the iron gate, and the garrison guarded it, and transferred the Turkic soldiers who returned to Shun and the garrison 30 miles outside the Yanmen Pass, which could not only defend against foreign invasions, but also deter the northern heroes.

On this day, Yanmen Pass ushered in a group of pedestrians, they mostly dressed as Turks, with swords, lined up neatly between the comings and goings, and they knew that they were very people at a glance. Among them, only three were dressed as Han Chinese, two men and one woman. It was Ashina Sheer and the group of people who lost their thoughts.

One of them was a well-known benevolent and righteous khan on the steppe, and the other was a famous Turkic general in a hundred battles. They have a very high status in the hearts of the Turks, and it is also because of their existence that those Turkic people will accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty so easily.

They stayed in the camp for half a month, and when they were done, they set out on the road north to the military camp outside the Saiwai. Perhaps knowing that the trip would not go as smoothly as convincing the Turkic people, they were fully prepared before they acted. As for the two men and one woman, they are naturally Li Yifeng, Zhou Lingling, and Ba Yuxing. Qin Yu, who was traveling with him, secretly left the team because he noticed something unusual, and lurked in the rear to investigate.

Zhou Lingling saw that Yanmen Pass was in sight, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Okay, it is finally liberated." I couldn't sleep and eat along the way, but I was tired to death. Next time, I'm not going to do anything like that. ”

Li Yifeng's tense spirit also relaxed slightly, and said softly: "After holding on, out of Yanmen Pass, I think we will be more relaxed." ”

Since everything was Du He's baseless speculation, and he was not sure whether the assassin existed, Li Yifeng thought that this guild would be easy, but the actual situation was far beyond his expectations. When he was in the Turkic camp, he faintly noticed a pair of eyes looking behind them.

There is no basis for this, just pure martial intuition.

Not only him, Zhou Lingling, Ba Yuxing, and Qin Yu have this feeling one after another.

One person can be said to be suspicious, but several people have this feeling at the same time, so it can't be explained by being suspicious.

It's just that every time they draw their attention away, that feeling comes in, and as soon as they are careful, that feeling disappears. They tried everything, but they couldn't find the eyes behind them.

Just in case, the four of them were tense and protected Ashina Sheer and Zhiqi Sili along the way, and any characters who were close to the two would receive their key treatment.

Although there were no thieves along the way, their mental exhaustion had reached the limit, and everyone was tired.

However, they firmly believe that as long as this situation is out of Yanmen Pass, everything will be easy.

Outside the Yanmen Pass is the endless prairie, there is no place to hide on the grassland, at a glance, the situation in the radius is in full view, and there is no need to worry about any assassins approaching, they are naturally relaxed, only need to travel more than 30 miles, their task is over.

At this moment, their faces gradually improved, and they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

However, Li Yifeng is an old man after all, and before he achieved his goal, he did not let down his vigilance because of this, and said: "In the last half of the day, we must not be careless." Maybe the other party is planning to take advantage of our relaxation of vigilance to start it, this kind of thing is not nothing, in short, so many days have been over, and it is not bad for half a day, cheer up. ”

Zhou Lingling and Ba Yuxing obeyed Li Yifeng's life, and they also cheered up.

At this time, Qin Yu, who was scouting, rode up on horseback, kicked off the horse, and said, "No, I couldn't get those eyes out by all means." Either we are suspicious, or the people who follow us have extraordinary tracking skills. ”

Li Yifeng was silent for a while and said, "Since you can't find it, let's use the stupidest method." The purpose of assassinating the two generals was to prevent the Turkic soldiers from merging with our Tang Dynasty, and we could only do this before we arrived at the barracks. There was only the last half of the day's journey, and if there were any Assassins, they would definitely be on the way. ”

Qin Yu nodded and said, "That's all it takes, by the way, have you received a letter from Gongzi recently?" A few days ago, I told Childe about the situation here in the form of a flying pigeon, and he is very intelligent, and he must be able to think of a way to deal with it. Calculate the time, and it should be almost time to reply. ”

Li Yifeng shook his head and said no.

The group walked out of Yanmen Pass, looking at the completely different scenery outside the pass, everyone had a feeling of open-mindedness, but they didn't know that danger was coming.

Behind them, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at their backs, and a crucial message came out.

In addition to being brave and good at fighting, the steppe people also have a characteristic of tracking their prey and lurking their whereabouts, which is their instinct to catch prey for a long time. This instinct of theirs can be dealt with even by beasts whose six senses are far superior to those of humans, and it is naturally difficult for ordinary people and others to find their traces.

Although Li Yifeng, Zhou Lingling, Ba Yuxing, and Qin Yu are not ordinary people with unique skills, they can only detect their existence faintly, and it is not easy to find them out.

Chang'an Du Mansion.

Du He looked at Qin Yu's letter repeatedly in the study, he knew that Qin Yu was bold and careful, if he really couldn't find those eyes in the shadows, he wouldn't repair the book and ask for help. But he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out. It is common sense to conclude that the more people there are, the better the action. This is especially true for things like dry assassinations.

The crowd can create chaos for them, the crowd can help with their disguise, the crowd can cover their presence.

That said, the assassination was supposed to take place in the Turkic camp, but the assassins behind the scenes never took action, just kept tracking and tracking. This is completely illogical. The Assassins' intention to kill Ashina Sheer and Zhi Sili was apparently due to their intention to persuade the Turks to integrate into the Tang Dynasty.

Now that they know this, it is not difficult to calculate the final destination of the two of them - the Saiwai military camp, and the only way to the Saiwai military camp is Yanmen Pass.

They could have chosen a place where the right time and place were right to carry out the assassination, instead of risking being discovered and stupidly following behind, like a follower. "Things must be opposed, and things must be demons", this is the eight words that Du He has always taken as his motto, and it is because of these eight words that he can solve the mystery one by one, figure out the intentions of the other party, so as to take the lead and be invincible.

At this moment, the news of Tuoba Wushuang asking to see suddenly came from outside the house.

Du He was stunned, this Tuoba Wushuang may be because he has been in the desert for a long time, and he doesn't like to contact others very much, even if he comes to Datang. However, Du He didn't force it, but just gave him a remote yard to live quietly.

Originally, Du He's intention was to include him in the army, and with his martial arts and the assistance of Meng'er, the king of carving, he must have been a big helper, so he persuaded him to leave the desert and go out to see the world with himself, and stimulate his male ambition. But apparently I'm used to living alone, and I'm not adapting to a crowded life. Du He wanted him to return to the desert and live his own life, but he was really reluctant to give up, so he put it on hold, and today he came to find him, which really surprised Du He.

"Let him in!" Du He put the letter in his hand aside and said.

Tuoba Wushuang strode into the study with his head held high.

Du He looked at him, his eyes were surprised, at this moment, Tuoba Wushuang no longer had that kind of dull and dead air, his face was ruddy, and there was a high fighting spirit in his eyes, which was a sign of finding a new life and a new goal, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations Wushuang, you finally want to open." ”

Tuoba Wushuang said gratefully: "Tuoba I have today, and the persuasion of adults is indispensable. I'm here today to ask you for two things. First, I ask my lord to marry Cuiliu to me, and second, I want to join the army, and I want to support my family with my own ability. ”

Du He smiled unexpectedly, and his mood also understood the cause and effect.

Cuiliu is a girl in Du's mansion, fatherless and motherless, Changle saw that she was pitiful and let people buy her. She has a lively and cheerful temperament, is a pistachio, and is well-known in the house, and is responsible for cleaning the house. The side courtyard where Tuoba Wushuang lives is the area under her jurisdiction, and there is no shortage of opportunities for the two sides to meet. This back and forth, mixed and affectionate, Tuoba Wushuang's mentality has changed, and he is naturally full of hope for the future.

Thinking about it, things are a bit bloody, but there is no love in the world that is not bloody, and there is no man who is willing to eat and drink with his wife.

Tuoba Wushuang figured everything out as a matter of course and stopped being an otaku.

Understanding all the reasons, Du He said without saying a word: "As long as Cuiliu agrees, I am willing to report to this medium, as for the matter of joining the army, it is unbelievable." ”

Tuoba Wushuang was overjoyed, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Understand, I only came to find adults with her consent." ”

Du He also gave a congratulatory smile and took the matter on his body, and suddenly he remembered that Tuoba Wushuang was also a nomad, and immediately asked: "Wushuang, you hunters are good at tracking prey, will there be any anti-tracking means?"

Tuoba Wushuang paused and replied: "It depends on what kind of situation it is, different tracking methods have different anti-tracking methods, and it is difficult to say for a while." The key is to know what the purpose of stalking people is, if they have bad intentions, they will constantly look for opportunities to get closer, but if they only need to know the general direction, they only need to follow in a hidden place from a distance. The former is the easiest to spot, the latter is more difficult. ”

Follow from afar, approximate directions?

Du He stood up "suddenly" and shouted: "Not good! ”
