When Shibi Khan heard the water spirit jumping off the cliff, he was shocked for a moment.

Shi Boda said loudly: "There is absolutely no way, the person who hijacked Ling'er is thoughtful, how can he kill himself?" ”

Shibi Khan asked in a deep voice, "Qi Jishe, you tell me in detail about the tracking, don't make mistakes, have you seen Wen Yuzhou jump off the cliff with Ling'er?" ”

He shook his head and said, "Not really. ”

Shi Boda sneered: "Uncle, it seems that you have become a lot less bold since you were captured by Li Jing. ”

Shibi Khan waved his hand and said: "Shi Boda, don't be rude, if it weren't for us, how could you be disgraced?" He was captured by Li Jing, but his strength was not good. Li Jing swept through the Tiele tribe and crisscrossed the Turks, and he was really a great leader, and there was nothing to be ashamed of being defeated under such a character. If Qi Jishe had accepted the canonization of the Dog Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, it is still unknown whether you and I can be safe here now. ”

Shi Boda's heart was awe-inspiring, and he bowed down and said, "Uncle, what I just said is so offensive, please don't be surprised." ”

It was already uncomfortable for him to follow Labor, and he was even more depressed when he was sneered at by Shiboda, but when he heard the Khan say this, he felt a lot more relaxed, and waved his hand and said: "Tucker is outside, you and I are doing our best to do things for our people, but the person I saw today is really cunning." I followed Wen Yu Zhou's ......" He paused here, and he really couldn't be sure whether that person was Wen Yu Zhou, so he didn't care much, and said directly: "I followed the footprints of Wen Yu Zhou's horse's hooves, and there were soldiers arranged by Tucker along the way, but these two people fled very quickly, chasing all the way down to the vast mountain in the west. The two men didn't go around the mountain, I observed the hoof prints, and I went straight up the mountain, and I couldn't help but wonder......"

Shi Boda continued, "Yes, going up the mountain is a dead end, they ......" suddenly thought of something, Shi Boda's face showed a look of horror, Shibi Khan was still calm, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened later?" ”

He frowned and said, "Later, I asked the soldiers to guard the main road under the mountain, and then led hundreds of soldiers to continue the search along the horseshoe prints. When he was halfway up the mountain, he saw two horses left on the mountainside, but the two lines of footprints continued to climb up the mountain, presumably Wen Yuzhou knew that the horses could no longer go up the mountain, so he got off the horse and hiked up the mountain. ”

"Two lines of footprints?" Shibi Khan frowned.

Qi Jishe nodded and said: "It's indeed two lines of footprints, and there are no footprints of Tag, but I think Wen Yuzhou probably captured Tag and went up the mountain, and it is impossible to carry her on his back, otherwise someone would have discovered Tag's whereabouts along the way." ”

Shibi Khan nodded, "And then?" ”

"Then I led the people to follow the footprints and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain," said Ji Jishe, "but the top of the mountain is quite open, and there is no one to see at a glance, and the two lines of footprints have reached the edge of the cliff on the opposite side, and have not gone anywhere else, so I am only afraid...... They are jumping from the top of the mountain. ”

Speaking of this, he pleaded guilty and said, "Khan, I have betrayed your trust, and please punish him heavily." ”

Shibi Khan frowned, secretly thinking that Ji Ji was very careful, and he asked him to track it, but the footprints were gone to the edge of the cliff, no matter how powerful Wen Yuzhou was, he couldn't fly to the sky, but if he wanted to jump off the cliff, people like Wen Yuzhou had just met, and he was scheming, how could he kill himself? Thinking of this, Shi Boda had already asked, "Uncle, didn't you let people go to the bottom of the cliff to look for it?" ”

"Tag's life and death are at stake, of course I will let the soldiers go down the cliff to look for it, but they won't find anything, I let them continue to search, and I will come back to tell the Khan the news......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, and Shibi Khan said in a deep voice: "Qi Jishe, there is no fault of you here, if it weren't for Ling'er's insistence, how could you get to the field today, this kind of daughter, don't ......"

Speaking of this, Shibi Khan finally sighed, "Gilish, you let people continue to search in the valley, Shiboda, you go and order the soldiers, go straight to find the whereabouts of the dark angels, and let them beg for people." If they can't hand over the spirits, they should be killed. ”

He ordered to go down, and everyone obeyed awe-inspiringly, and Shibi Khan looked at the two of them retreating, but there was helplessness in his eyes.

He is not sure of winning this upcoming confrontation.

Although he is the lord of the grassland, he is also the same as Yang Guang, and many things are helpless.

Although he is majestic now, his life is not satisfactory. He has the most hated person, but he is far away in Yangzhou, he has the closest person, but his whereabouts are unknown, he has a lifelong wife, but he is on the same page as him, he has a father who should be respected, but he has been despised by him all his life, he is the lord of the grassland, but he can only tolerate too many things. The incident in Yanmen made him realize that although the Central Plains is prosperous and enviable, if the foundation of the grassland is lost, no matter how prosperous it is, it will be for others to marry.

The aura of the yin owl on his face was even stronger, but Qi Jishe stepped forward again and whispered a few words.

Shibi Khan frowned and said, "Liang Shidu is reliable?" ”

Qi Jishe nodded and said: "This person is a big lord of Guan Long, and he is ambitious, but relatively speaking, his strength in Shuofang is still weak. If we have our support, we will go straight north to capture Xijing, and we will make the Central Plains chaotic. When the time comes, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, and the khan can sit back and enjoy its success, won't he dominate the world? ”

Shibi Khan frowned and said, "I'm just afraid that a Liang master won't be able to achieve any climate." ”

Qi Jishe said with a smile: "Of course a Liang division can't succeed, but there are too many people in Guanlongshanxi who want to rely on the Khan, in addition to the Liang family in Shuofang, the Xue family in Jincheng, the Liu family in Mayi, and the Li family in Wuwei, they have all contacted us one after another, revealing the idea of wanting to buy horses and borrow troops and attach to the Khan......"

"Why are there so many despicable and shameless people in this Central Plains?" Shibi Khan scolded. He used to live under Yang Guang's aura, saying that he hated it, but in his heart he had an inferiority complex. He inferiority self-esteem father is a coward, he did not hesitate to go to the Sui Dynasty every year to be a minister, the Turkic man should be killed in battle, despise the sick and died on the bed, but his father was sick to death on the bed, so that he was ashamed, although he knew that if he wanted revenge, he had to rely on the people of the Central Plains, after all, when the 400,000 army went south, he couldn't even break through Yanmen City, and he knew that the grassland would not work in the Central Plains, but he still despised the kind of people who abandoned the interests of the king for their own interests.

"Khan, if it weren't for so many despicable and shameless people, it wouldn't be easy for us to capture the Central Plains. But we can take advantage of these cowards for the time being, and when the time comes, it's not too late to replace them. I and Shi Bo Da recently stationed here, has been in contact with the Guanlong family, a few days ago said that the people of the Liu family of Ma Yi have come, and now the people of the Shuo Fang Liang family have come again, and when the spring comes, our horses can be supplied, and the northern Xinjiang is in chaos, it is our time. ”

Shibi Khan nodded, "You're fine, Gilish. ”

Seeing the Khan, he finally smiled a little, and said cautiously: "Khan, there is one thing I am afraid you don't know yet......

"What is it?" Shibi Khan frowned.

Qi Jishe whispered a few words in his ear this time, and Shibi Khan slapped the table heavily, and the teacups on the table jumped wildly, "What you said is true?" ”

Qi Jishe's face was solemn, "I don't dare to lie, these are all things I have learned from these inquiries." Khan, so I think that at the moment, it is better not to take Wen Yuzhou as his intention, but to deal with Kedun with all his might. ”

"This old woman." Shibi Khan clenched his fists, "I can't wait to cut her with a thousand knives, but she is quite wary of me now, and there are many guards around her, and it is not easy to kill her." This old woman is very scheming, since she married my cowardly father, she has begun to buy people's hearts, and she has quite a prestige in the grassland, if I am a vain soldier, I am afraid of causing chaos in the grassland......"

Ji Ji Shi smiled: "In fact, many times, it can be done without using troops. I have a plan to get rid of Kedun, and I don't know if the Khan approves of it. ”

"You say." Shibi Khan said with interest.

"Now Liang Shidu sent his younger brother Liang Luo'er to ask for horses, and I told him that there is a shortage of horses in the grassland, and many scholars need them, and he is very anxious now...... According to my observations, he brought two masters, one named He Sui and the other called Xin Fang'er. After a few days, the grassland will hold a shaman conference, but Dun is hypocritical and benevolent, and he will definitely come out to pray for the blessings of the grassland people, and we can ask Liang Luo'er to send someone to assassinate him, and the matter will be done once and for all, and solve the great trouble for the khan. Even if they fail, they will never be able to push it on us. ”

Shibi Khan smiled, "That's a good idea. ”

"In that case, did the Khan suspend the use of troops against Wen Yuzhou first?" Akishishi suggested.

Shibi Khan shook his head, "It's not necessary to postpone the use of troops, do you think I really want to destroy Wen Yuzhou?" ”

He was stunned, "What does the Khan mean?" ”

Shibi Khan said lightly: "You and I have been in the Central Plains for a long time, haven't you heard of the allusion of the false way to destroy the enemy?" ”

Ji She's eyes lit up, "Is the Khan saying that it is false that we eliminated Wen Yu Zhou?" ”

Shibi Khan sneered: "Yes, Wen Yuzhou is nothing, he is just a grasshopper in the grassland, he has been tossing for so many years, and his achievements are limited, so why should I bother to trouble him." But now that we have an excuse for Ling'er's disappearance, we should make good use of it. I asked you to continue to look for Shui Ling, with great fanfare, and asked Shi Boda to find trouble with Wen Yuzhou, but he was not in a hurry to attack. The Dark Angel has been haunting the left side of Chita, but it is in the north of Bayegu and the Servant Bones......"

He finally came to his senses, "Is it the Khan who asked Shipoda to lead the troops, and when the time comes, he can form a front and rear attack on Kedun?" In the past, we were always nameless when we sent troops, but this time we sent troops to make people unable to grasp the handle! ”

Shibi Khan patted Ji She's shoulder, "Brother, what you said is not bad at all, if you fail to plan at that time, I should divide my troops into two ways, attack back and forth, and destroy the old woman's power in one fell swoop." As for this excuse......"

When he said this, he sneered twice, and said no more, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the khan has already had a clever plan to deal with that old woman, so I have done it too much." ”

Shibi Khan shook his head and said: "Your plan is also good, if the assassination fails, then come up with another plan, as for other aspects, I think you should know how to do it." ”

Qi Jishe hesitated: "Khan, since you have already calculated, is the annihilation who mixed into the camp really Wen Yuzhou?" He has always been in awe of this eldest brother, and would rather resist the marriage of the Sui Dynasty than betray the Khan, because this eldest brother is quite capable. Now he even has some suspicions that the person who secretly infiltrated the camp may have been instructed by Shibi Khan, but he was just making a show for outsiders, otherwise why Shui Ling was captured, and Shibi Khan came up with a clever plan to deal with Kedun based on this.

Shibi Khan frowned and sighed softly, "No matter who it is, he has mixed in here, obviously with bad intentions, this person's high skill is really rare, Ling'er is ...... I don't know what's going on......"

**

"You're not Wen Yuzhou!" A crisp voice echoed through the cave. Shui Ling was sitting on the ground, watching the flames beat, and suddenly a sentence came out.

She was not tied, she was still dressed in a white coat, but she was already covered in dust, but Shui Ling didn't care, as if she was not sitting in a dark and cold cave, but staying in her own felt tent. The firelight flickered, shining on her crimson face, with a slight slump on it, a little excitement, three points of excitement, but only less fear. Her attitude did not look like a prisoner, but a guest.

It was a rather secluded cave, surrounded by several openings, which seemed to lead in all directions, but there was no light shining through, apparently in the belly of the mountain.

Shui Ling sat by the fire to roast the fire, but two people sat against the wall, one of them was slightly pale, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and recuperating. The other person, covered with a black scarf, looked up at the top of the cave thoughtfully.

It is the third child who raises his spirits, and of course Xiao Buyi is thoughtful.

The three of them all seemed to be intact, but instead of jumping off the cliff and dying, they lived comfortably.

Hearing Shui Ling's questioning, Xiao Buyi still looked at the top of the cave, letting her speak, it seemed that the top of the cave was much better than Shui Ling.

Shui Ling was not angry, and said to himself: "If you are Wen Yuzhou and have a shrewd mind, you should know that this disaster is a big deal." The Khan knows that you have kidnapped me, and the dark angels are afraid that they are all going to hell, how can you relax here calmly? So I'm sure you're not Wen Yuzhou, hey, am I right? If you don't say something, I'll leave. ”

She stood up and gestured to leave, but Xiao Buyi finally turned her head and made a gesture of please.

Shui Ling was stunned and said loudly: "I'm your captive, I'm leaving, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

The third snorted coldly: "The caves here extend in all directions, you scream so much, be careful that you will attract wolves." ”

"You think I'm going to be scared?" Shui Ling said disdainfully, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Buyi. She was very curious about this masked man, and deliberately said so much, just to lead them to talk.

She should have been frightened and uneasy, after all, she was held hostage here, but until now, she has not been half panicked in her heart, but has an indescribable relaxation, which is really a very strange feeling.

The third child snorted coldly, and didn't say much, secretly thinking that this woman was trouble, and he didn't know what Boss Xiao would do with her.

Xiao Buyi looked up at the top of the cave, thinking in his heart, the khan has been contacting the Guanlong lords, it is now a cold winter, it is not appropriate to send troops, and in the beginning of spring, there must be enough soldiers and horses, and there are many frontiers to rebel. The khan has not been able to send troops south, he is really afraid of a fire in the backyard, so he is not far away to deal with Kedun?

He wanted to be distracted, but he didn't care about the water spirit around him at all. Shui Ling said again: "These soldiers are also stupid, and they haven't found us yet." Didn't they notice that you carried me to the cliff and followed the original footprints back to the cave? Did they really think the three of us jumped off a cliff together? Stupid, stupid. ”

The third child said coldly: "A lot of things are just not enough to mention, but if you can't see it, you can't think of it." Most of the people who led the troops were your brother, uncle, or your father, and no one had found them here so far. ”

Shui Ling snorted coldly, "They are all stupid, don't say that they are not here, even if they are here, I will scold them correctly." ”

The third child was stunned, he didn't expect that this woman looked as beautiful as a flower, and she was quite rude when she spoke.

Xiao Buyi didn't bother to pay attention, and vaguely guessed why Shui Ling scolded his biological father for being stupid, but Shui Ling suddenly rushed to his side and said loudly: "Have you become deaf?" ”

She almost leaned into Xiao Buyi's ear to speak, but Xiao Buyi was shocked, and when she saw her innocent and smug smile, she couldn't help but shake her head, "You go, I won't embarrass you." Although this cave is accessible in all directions, it is not far from the exit of the mountainside, you go straight out of there, and you will soon be able to reach the mountainside, I think the Khan should still be looking for you now, you should go out, there should be no danger, and you will be able to turn back soon. ”

Shui Ling was stunned, "You're not afraid that I'll bring troops to arrest you?" ”

Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "Who in this world can catch me?" ”

He said casually, although it was bland, but in the eyes of Shui Ling, it was full of arrogance, and she looked at the man in front of her for a long time, speechless for a while.

"You are indeed very good at martial arts, but you can't withstand thousands of troops, right?" Shui Ling said suddenly: "But the four people under my father are all masters, I have seen with my own eyes that each of them can fight one against ten, but you cut one to death with one sword, and your martial arts are obviously more clever than them." ”

Xiao Buyi was puzzled: "What are you going to say?" ”

"If you bring me here, you can leave when you bombard me, then I'm not very faceless?" Instead, Shui Ling sat down and was beside Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Do you want me to tie you up and cut you seventeen or eighteen pieces, you will have a lot of face?" ”

There was a threat in his words, but Shui Ling laughed, "I know that martial arts have always been arrogant, and you have no face to capture this little woman like you, and now you are bullying me, a woman who has no power to fight back, most of them are even more unwilling." ”

Xiao Buyi didn't expect what she said to be the head, and said indifferently: "You can leave if you want to go, and you can stay if you want to, but I'm leaving." If you are not afraid of me......"

"I'm afraid of you, why should I be afraid of you?" Shui Ling's eyes were scorching, staring at Xiao Buyi's face, "Who are you?" You haven't said it, are you afraid that I will retaliate in the future? ”

Xiao Buyi suddenly smiled coldly, with a hideous look in his eyes, "You must know my name, but do you know the consequences?" ”

Shui Ling had always been close to him, and when he saw his demeanor, he couldn't help leaning back, a little scared. In this moment's effort, Fang Cai, who was still gentle and elegant, seemed to have turned into a devouring devil, coupled with the beating flames, the cave was gloomy, and a heart was involuntarily thumping, and he forgot to reply for a while.

Xiao Buyi stood up, unbuttoned his clothes, jumped up in horror, stepped back again and again, and said with his hands to protect his chest: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Buyi took off his cloak, put it on his body, and sneered: "You didn't ask who I am, I'll tell you." His cloak was turned red, and in the light of the fire, the red cloak shook like a demon.

Shui Ling was stunned, speechless, as if he had been frightened stupid by the red cloak. Xiao Buyi said viciously: "You guessed right, I am indeed not a dark angel, on the contrary, I am the leader of a gust of wind." This time, I came here to deliberately blame the dark angel, now that you know......"

Before he finished speaking, Shui Ling had already leaned forward and laughed, but this time Xiao Buyi was stunned.

Shui Ling smiled quite happily, and only after a while pointed at Xiao Buyi and said, "Are you the big leader of a gust of wind?" ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "You don't believe it? He thought that he was not bad at acting, and he pretended to be similar, but he didn't know where the flaws were. Anyway, whether it is a gust of wind or a dark angel, they are all the enemies of Shibi Khan, and it is better for them to guess and be suspicious, but looking at the current posture, Shui Ling actually doesn't believe it.

Shui Ling took a few steps forward and almost stuck to Xiao Buyi's body again, Xiao Buyi frowned, but did not dodge.

Fortunately, Shui Ling didn't force him too much, just looked at his eyes and said: "If you say it's someone else, a cat or a dog, maybe I'll believe it, but you say that you are the big leader of a gust of wind, but it's really funny." Do you know the big boss of a gust of wind......"

When she said this, she looked at Xiao Buyi carefully, Xiao Buyi was hairy by her, but she could still calm down: "Don't tell me, you are the big leader of a gust of wind." ”

Shui Ling laughed again, "Of course I'm not, but I've seen the big leader of a gust of wind, and I also know that you're definitely not!" ”

Xiao Buyi's heart moved, and he secretly wondered if a gust of wind really colluded with Shibi Khan, otherwise how could Shui Ling have seen it? But even if it is collusion, it is an extremely secret thing, how can Shui Ling know?

"It seems that you really know the big boss, even if you are masked, you can recognize it."

Shui Ling was still smiling, very happy, "It's not that familiar, but I know one thing, the whole face of the big leader of a gust of wind is pale gold, even if the forehead is the same, your forehead is no different from ordinary people, of course it can't be the big leader." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and thought secretly, not knowing who the person with a pale golden face was, and without waiting to speak, his eyebrows suddenly furled.

Shui Ling noticed the change in his face, and couldn't help but take a step back, and the third child suddenly whispered, "They found the cave." ”

A voice came from afar, ethereal, but as if in the ear, "There is a cave here." Tag doesn't know if it's in there! ”

Then came the sound of footsteps, and there was a noise in the distance.

Xiao Buyi didn't panic, and said with a smile: "The Turkic soldiers have finally been found, third child, how are you now?" ”

"It's all right, boss, shall we go?" The third child stood up and moved his muscles.

Xiao Buyi nodded, the third child went first, but he walked in the opposite direction of the Turkic soldiers, Xiao Buyi followed closely, only walked a few steps, turned his head to look over, and there was a smile in his eyes, "What are you doing with me?" ”

When Shui Ling heard the arrival of the Turkic soldiers, instead of going out to meet him, he quietly followed behind Xiao Buyi, and when he saw him stop, he almost bumped into him.

"Run for your life."

"We are inseparable from the Turkic army, and if we meet, we will fight to the death, and then flee for our lives. You are the Turkic Tag, and what kind of people are you fleeing from? ”

Shui Ling restrained his smile and pursed his lips, "You don't even tell me your name, I'm too lazy to tell you, you didn't buy this road, right?" ”

"It's not."

"Then I can go, right?"

"Of course."

Shui Ling pushed Xiao Buyi and muttered, "Then don't go quickly, they're about to chase after you." ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head helplessly and muttered, "You seem to be more afraid of the Turkic soldiers than we are." ”

Although he spoke, his feet were not slow, he followed closely behind the third child, Shui Ling did not dare to slack off, there was no firelight, the cave was pitch black, only the footsteps were monotonous, very terrifying, Shui Ling stared nervously at the figure in front of him, did not dare to leave a little, only afraid of getting lost, in the dark, the footsteps were firm, it seemed to have become her only support!
