Chapter 17: The Discovery of the Covenant
The Turkic king's tent was brightly lit, and he stared at an iron arrow on the table with a blue face, the poison of the arrow had been dissolved by Shi Shu Huxi's blood, and there was no longer the light of the blue scales, and the words "Yang Yuanqing's arrow" ......were unusually conspicuous on the iron arrow shaft.
In the middle of the royal tent, Anuri and Asduo knelt on the carpet, Asduo lowered his head and said nothing, and the eldest son Duji stood by the big tent, with the same face and iron, staring at the two sisters viciously, the three of them were born to the same mother, and the relationship was usually very close, but at this time, Duji hated Asduo for helping outsiders and ruining the opportunity for the Eastern Turkic Grassland.
Anuri stepped forward and said, "Father Khan, I instigated my sister to do this, she is not sensible, but I understand that I am willing to accept all the punishments of my father Khan." ”
"No!"
Asduo raised his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Anuri, I overheard the conversation between Father Khan and Shi Shu Huxi, I like Yang Yuanqing, I don't want Father Khan to kill him, I told him, Father Khan's golden arrow was also stolen by me, and all punishments will be borne by me." ”
"You're bold!"
Du Ji next to him became furious, pointed at his sister and shouted: "Stealing the golden arrow of my father's Khan is a capital crime, do you think it is just a small punishment?" ”
Asto's face turned pale, and after a while, she bit her mouth and said, "Even if it's a capital crime, I'm willing!" ”
"That's it!"
Dye Gan waved his hand, interrupting the quarrel between the three of them, and he said to Asduo: "The eagle on the grassland will not kill his own children, and neither will I, but stealing the khan's golden arrow is a heinous crime, if I don't punish you severely, the other chiefs will not accept it, and I will punish you in another account for three years." ”
Anuri was shocked, the loss of freedom was a punishment second only to execution, this was too severe, she kowtowed and begged: "Father Khan, my sister is young and ignorant, you spare her this time!" ”
Asdori grabbed her sister, "Anuri, my father Khan is imprisoning me in another tent...... Instead of the dungeon, it is already the greatest forgiveness for me, don't embarrass Father Khan anymore. ”
She kowtowed to her father, "Asto is willing to accept the punishment of his father." ”
Somegan nodded...... "Pack your things and go!" Three years later, you are still my most beloved NV. ”
Asto kowtowed to his father three times, turned and left, Anuri was not at ease and chased after him.
Du Ji looked at his sister walking away, and his anger disappeared a little, and he was imprisoned for three years, and he was a little unbearable in his heart.
"Father Khan...... What do we do now...... Do you want to chase with troops? He turned around again and asked his father.
Dye Gan glanced at him coldly...... "Shi Shuhu is innocent, even if Yang Yuanqing doesn't kill him, I will kill him, do you understand?" ”
Ji Ji understood that his father was actually referring to the fact that he sent troops to kill Yang Yuanqing, so he didn't dare to talk back and lowered his head.
Seeing that the eldest son, who had always been violent, did not talk back, the coldness in his eyes disappeared a little, and he softened a little...... He said slowly: "Duji, you are my heir, I hope you are not only brave, but also have brains and vision, so that you can lead the tribe to become strong, I know that you don't want to be controlled by the Sui Dynasty, in fact, I don't want to, I prefer to sit side by side with Yang Guang like a friend, rather than kneel down to him and be a vassal, but not now, we are not strong enough, our wings are not yet full, and we can't be proud of the top of the mountain like an eagle, so I didn't agree to Shi Shu Huxi's suggestion, kill Yang Yuanqing, he is a Sui envoy, we can't kill him, But Shi Shu Hu Xi betrayed me, he let Yang Yuanqing know about my injustice, and the Sui Dynasty will know sooner or later. ”
"But Father Khan, the leak is Asduo, not Shi Shu Huxi."
Dye Gan shook his head, "Ah Siduo is just a child, simple-hearted, and bent on saving his lover, I won't really blame her, but Shi Shu Huxi has a sī heart, when he was in Harley Lake, he accepted Datou's bribe, I didn't pursue him, and this time in order to get Yi Lost's thanks, he was going to borrow your hand to kill Yang Yuanqing, do you know why he killed him himself?" Because he killed Yang Yuanqing, he directly took his head to Xue Yantuo to ask for a reward, and he will not come back, you were used by him. ”
Du Ji's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head again, he wanted to say that he would chase and kill Yang Yuanqing again and kill him halfway, but now he didn't dare to say it again.
Dye Gan seemed to know his son's thoughts, he smiled and said: "I know that you want me to hunt down Yang Yuanqing and kill him halfway, Princess Yicheng will not know, if you still think like this, then what I said just now will be in vain." ”
"Duji is stupid, please make it clear to Father Khan!"
Dye Gan nodded, and continued: "If Yang Yuanqing didn't know, I might be able to kill him, but he already knows, and he is so stupid to wait for me to hunt him down?" He must have been prepared, and they have camel rides, so they can run in the deep snow, but we can't, and more importantly, Yang Yuanqing didn't tear his face with us, and there is room for relaxation. ”
Du Ji was stunned, "How does Father Khan know that he didn't tear his face with us?" ”
Dye Gan picked up Yang Yuanqing's iron arrow, "He only killed Shi Shu Hu Xi, and did not kill your people, this is that he didn't tear his face, he knew that his identity was a Sui envoy, and he knew that the matter was not serious enough to break with the Sui and the Turks, killing Shi Shu Hu Xi was just a warning for him, do you understand?" ”
Duji lowered his head, "I see. ”
"Go ahead! Don't be so reckless in the future, discuss it with me? ”
"Yes!"
Duji bowed and withdrew from the tent.
Dye Gan squinted and stared at the top of the tent in thought, now he has a new idea, if he unites with the Qi Core, it is okay to kill Xue Yantuo first, and the Sui Army can cooperate, and then he will turn around and eat the Qi Core.
It seems that it is still necessary for him to marry his son to the son of Qixin Gelen, but Yang Yun ...... Celebration over there......
Dye Gan sighed, hoping that he could escape the interception of the Xue Yantuo people.
It was already dawn, and after two days of rapid marching, they had already left the Turkic tent, and there was no need to rush the march any longer, so the Sui soldiers slowed down and slowed down on the snowy field.
After walking for more than ten days, they have gradually approached the Yīn Mountain, the time has passed the New Year, and now it should be the first year of the Great Cause, the whole Sui is immersed in the joy of the prosperity of the new emperor, this Sui army is still trekking the vast snowfield.
In the afternoon of this day, beside a small forest, the Sui army set up a tent, all around were white, there was no other Yan sè for thousands of miles, this is a huge pressure on people's psychology, there is already a black line in the distance, that is Yīn Mountain, after Yīn Mountain for four or five days, they can go home.
However, the yellow sheep and red deer that often haunt the forest bring them a sense of vitality and vitality, so that they do not feel so lonely in their hearts, the Sui soldiers have enough food, with a large number of cattle and sheep ròu, enough for them to eat for a month, and the Sui soldiers are also merciful, not wanting to harm these grassland life that brings them a sense of vitality.
The advantage of Mobei grassland is that there are many forests, and you can encounter a small forest after running for more than 100 miles, which provides them with enough fuel for heating.
The soldiers of the Sui army lit twenty bonfires and began to gather together to barbecue sheep ròu, make tea and drink, talk and laugh loudly, and maintain an optimistic and prosperous jīng power.
The other two hundred people trained to ride shè in the distance, they lived on camels for nearly a month, each of them was very skilled in driving camels, along the way they rode camels to practice riding shè, divided into two armies for drills, won lotteries, in order to relieve the boredom of the journey, this month, they have become an excellent camel cavalry army, so that Yang Yuanqing gave birth to the idea of training a camel cavalry.
Yang Yuanqing sat on a big rock, watching the soldiers training from afar, but he was thinking about something else, they were now facing two threats.
The first is the food for the horses, although the food of the people is sufficient, but the forage of the horses has become a problem, although the resistance of the horses is very strong, but it must also be replenished regularly, a few days ago they fed the camels a little grass roots dug out of the snow, but some of the camels began to feel uncomfortable, and killed three camels, so that everyone did not dare to feed the grass roots under the snow.
Scouts can only be sent out to find the Turkic Dome to see if they can find fodder.
In fact, Yang Yuanqing thought more about Xue Yantuo, and Asduo told him that Shi Shu Huxi also came up with a plan, that is, to leak his news to Xue Yantuo and let Xue Yantuo intercept him halfway.
After all, he is a Sui envoy, kill him, Yi Cheng will know that Dye Gan will not be able to Ji O generation of the Sui Dynasty, Dye Gan is a bamboo, a very cautious person, unless he is forced to do so, he will never do this, and it is very likely to leak the news to Xue Yantuo, this is more hidden, Dye Gan can also buy Xue Yantuo, and he can also rely on this matter to Shi Shu Hu Xi, who has been killed by himself, it is Shi Shu Hu Xi who did it without permission.
Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the Yīn Mountain line a hundred miles away, and he was sure that Xue Yantuo was already waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
"General!"
In the distance, the shouts of soldiers were heard, "They're back!" ”
As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw Fat Yu with several soldiers galloping from a distance on camels, Yang Yunqing stood up, and from Fat Yu's smiling face, he knew that they would have a redemption
Since Fat Fish left the Turkic tent, he seems to have changed as a different person, working very hard, and he has rushed to do the scouts along the way, desperately trying to please himself.
Yang Yuanqing didn't know how he talked to Wei Chi, but this kid really wanted to win his sweetheart, the road was still very difficult and long, and Wei Chi's marriage contract was his biggest hurdle, and he might not be able to get through.
"General!"
The fat fish rushed to the ground and shouted loudly: "More than thirty miles to the west, we found a small tribe of Qixin people, with hundreds of people. ”
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, he thought it was a Turkic tribe, how could it be a tribe of the Qixin people, how could they appear here? But as long as there were tribes with fodder, and their camels were saved, he waved his hand and ordered: "Rise up, brethren!" We went to the Chiang tribe as a guest. ”
