Xiao Buyi set out from Baling to the grassland, although it was thousands of miles away, but it only took a few days to arrive.

After arriving at Zihe, the elite soldiers prepared by Li Jing for him and the good hands prepared by Yuan Lan for him were all gathered, and everyone was disguised as grassland people and silently blended into the grassland.

Although Li Jing is taciturn, he is really efficient, and the elite soldiers he has cultivated are also in the same temper as him, doing things silently and rarely publicly. Among them, there was a man named Tulu, Li Jing specially explained, and was responsible for leading everyone into the grassland. The snowflakes were flying, and the grassland was full of white expanse, but Tulu had a natural instinct, and soon led everyone to the vicinity of the Mengchen tribe, scattered, and searched around for news to understand the current situation.

Xiao Buyi actually didn't believe in Kedun, and it was really stupid to secretly think that he would hand over his family name and life to her. If you want to bargain with others, you must first have your own capital, and he is exploring these four times, and the form of analysis is to accumulate capital for himself.

Altan's aggressiveness also saw in his eyes, and intuitively, like Meng Chenxue, he knew that things were by no means as simple as they seemed on the surface. Now there are about several forces in the grassland to contend with, Shibi Khan, Kedun, Qigu and Tiele nine surnames, he Xiao Buyi is responsible and muddy, so that all parties are not too strong, but not too weak, if this wrestling Shibi Khan wins, it goes without saying that the Mengchen clan will be uprooted, and he Xiao Buyi will not be able to get good, but if Kedun wins, he Xiao Buyi may not be good. Because Ke Dun is still loyal to the Sui family, for the sake of Yang Guang, maybe he will stab Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi is now seeking skin with the tiger, so he really has to be careful.

But to say that let Xiao Buyi fight against Khan and Kedun with hundreds of people, it is really a fool's dream, when Xiao Buyi thought of this, he only smiled bitterly.

Although the Mengchen clan looks insignificant, and they are not even counted as the nine surnames of Tiele, because they involve Xiao Buyi, they have become the axis, and they affect the whole body.

Xiao Buyi vaguely understood the purpose of Ke Dun asking him to come, but he was not in a hurry to see Ke Dun, but found Meng Chenxue first.

His current martial arts skills are extremely skillful, and he found Meng Chenxue silently, even Mo Feng didn't know. He plotted secretly, and it was best when few people knew about it.

When the two meet, it is indispensable to take pity and love, but what is more important is to analyze the current situation. Meng Chenxue is still a tag after all, she has been in the grassland for a long time, she knows more, and Xiao Buyi analyzes the current situation, and she is also terrified, but first, Meng Chenxue can't ignore the safety of her clansmen, and secondly, Xiao Buyi is also in urgent need of horses in the grassland, so she decided to fish in troubled waters and mix the water as much as possible.

Altan didn't know about these secret actions, and was still dreaming, Xiao Buyi silently sneaked into his tent, knocked him unconscious and brought him out, all the pretentiousness in the cave was to show Altan, his men pretended to be a gust of wind, Altan may be incompetent, but if this news is heard to Shi Boda, most of them will have unexpected effects. Now that he has released this fake news, as for how Shibi reacts, it will have to wait and see the effect.

Xiao Buyi knew a few news from Altan, that is, Shibi Khan had begun to prepare to attack Kedun, so he sent his son out to secretly deal with the Mengchen tribe, but the second point was that a gust of wind did not recur, but Altan used their name. He didn't intend to kill Altan, after all, although this person was annoying, he was more useful in life, but he had some unexpected gain that he met the young master of the dark angel.

Wen Yu Zhou ...... Wen Yu Zhou?

When Xiao Buyi read this name, his heart moved slightly, and he thought of something, that is, the surname of Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that he had talked to Yuan Lan.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty is also one of the Northern Dynasties, which was established by Yuwentai, the powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his son Yuwenjue formally established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, after five generations, and later was usurped by his relative Yang Jian to usurp the power of the Northern Zhou, which established the Great Sui.

The first thing Yang Jian did when he took office was to kill the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty first. Yuwen Shu was originally a house slave, so he left his surname, the famous Yuwen valve arrived in the Great Sui, in fact, it was already in name only, this Wen Yu Zhou with a Zhou character, is it related to the surname Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

This conjecture was originally unreasonable, but now that he heard the old man call the man in black the young master, he felt that this idea was somewhat realistic.

If this young master is really related to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, thinking of this, the corner of Xiao Buyi's mouth showed an elusive smile again.

Standing in the wind and snow, after waiting for a long time, a black shadow rushed over in the distance, it was the departing third child.

"How's it going?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"There are two pieces of news, the first is that Altan really went to find Shipoda as expected by Boss Xiao. Shiboda was nearby with a few hundred of his men. As well as the news, we tracked the Dark Angels and found them all the way north, but we haven't tracked their whereabouts yet. The fifth child was afraid that Boss Xiao would be in a hurry, so he asked me to come back. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, these three and five were all Yuan Lan's subordinates who sent him to him. Yuan Lan may not be able to find a martial arts master similar to Xiao Buyi, but he can find some roosters and dog thieves, of course, if you use an elegant word, it is a capable person. The third and fifth children and the people who have just tracked Altan are all very good at tracking, chasing people in this vast grassland, and never worrying about any mistakes. Of course, in addition to tracking, these people also have some unique skills, let's just say that the current third child, martial arts are ordinary, but he has a talent for language, from the Central Plains to the grassland, there are very few dialects he can't speak, and when it comes to speaking, even the locals can't hear the flaws.

"Is there any movement on the side of Shibi Khan?"

"Not yet, I think he and Kedun are the same, if he wants to act, everyone is watching, unless he wants to really fight Tieler, under normal circumstances, it should only be a secret action, such as sending his son over this time to make a mistake."

Xiao Buyi laughed and said with a smile: "Third child, what did you do before?" He can trust Yuan Lan, and he can trust the people Yuan Lan arranged for him, so far, the five people have not signed up, and he is called by their rankings.

The third child said with a smile: "In my life, I have traveled south and north, and I have seen too many intrigues and tricks, I have never eaten pork, and I have always seen pigs run." ”

Xiao Buyi patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, since Shibi's son came to make it bad, we will use the way of others to treat his body......"

The third child asked, "How can we make it bad, Boss Xiao, Master Yuan said, if there are still people in this world who can make people applaud their bad intentions, Boss Xiao, you are one of the few people, I have rarely seen Master Yuan praise a person like this." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "I don't know if he's hurting me or praising me." ”

The third child just laughed and was noncommittal.

Xiao Buyi groaned: "How is this person? ”

"This man is the second son of Shibi Khan," the third replied, "Shibi Khan has three sons, Shipoke, Shipoda and Shibobi. Shi Bo Da is insidious and cunning, Shi Bo Ke heard that there is the courage of ten thousand people, and Shi Bo is still young, and he is quite favored by Shibi Khan. ”

"Insidious and cunning?" Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "This kind of person is not easy to deal with, but it is happier to deal with this kind of person than to calculate the warrior." Third, take me to see Shipoda and see what you can get from him. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, the third child took the lead in leading the way, although the two did not ride horses, they were not slow to run.

After an hour, the sky was still gray and gloomy.

The third elder stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Shi Boda is camped there with hundreds of people, and the boss should be watching his whereabouts nearby." When Altan arrived, he never appeared again. ”

Xiao Buyi had already heard the sound of the horses neighing, and when he saw the white felt tent in front of him, he frowned and said: "If it is freezing today, Shi Boda personally went out to camp here, not necessarily just to facilitate contact with Altan." ”

The third child was a calm man, and nodded and said, "Altan is not qualified enough." ”

"I need to blend in with the tent." Xiao Buyi frowned and said: "If it is usual, it will be fine, but now it is cold and snowy, it is easy to leave footprints, if it is discovered by careful sentinels......"

The third child thought for a while, "This seems to be very dangerous, Shi Boda is the son of Shibi Khan after all, and now he dares to come here alone, he should bring a good hand, Boss Xiao, our boss is the best at listening to news, it is better to find him." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "Actually, I mean, we can pretend to be a sentinel to blend in, but I'm not proficient in Turkic languages......

The third child understood, "I'll go in with Boss Xiao, but I'm afraid of ......."

"Don't be afraid, just help me deal with the sudden trouble." Xiao Buyi turned over the cloak and put it on his body, the side was as white as snow, and it was not easy to detect in the snow. The third child also wore his clothes backwards, and it was the same as snow in an instant.

The two of them quietly approached the tent, and at the entrance of the front, two Turkic soldiers stood guard and stomped their feet. From time to time, a group of sentries appeared in the camp, patrolling back and forth, apparently to protect Shiboda's safety.

Xiao Buyi took the third child to the fence behind the camp, in order to be safe, he drew a knife to cut the fence, and without waiting to dodge in, he suddenly heard the horse's hooves not far away, turned his head to look over, and saw three horsemen running on the vast grassland. Xiao Buyi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the person in front of him was quite thin, his beard and eyebrows were covered with hoarfrost, and he wore a felt hat, followed by two people, but they both looked fierce. Xiao Buyi didn't know him, and frowned secretly, but he got into the fence while the guards were paying attention to the comers, and used the felt tent snowdrift to hide his figure. Listening intently, he noticed that there was no sound in a tent, so he hid behind it.

The three horsemen stopped when they arrived in front of the tent, and some Turkic soldiers had already stepped forward to ask.

The two sides talked a few words, and the Turkic soldiers ordered the three horsemen to dismount, but one of them quickly arrived in the camp.

The thin man was still peaceful, but the two behind him took a step forward.

The Turkic soldiers shouted, and more than a dozen people rushed up, and for a while the swords were tense.

The thin man laughed, waved his hand to his subordinates back, and eased the situation with a salute. They were really a little far away from Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi only vaguely heard what he said, his subordinates were rude, and a few people should not blame.

This person didn't speak Turkic language, but actually Central Plains dialect, which couldn't help but surprise Xiao Buyi.

The Turkic soldiers were very arrogant, and the man was not annoyed, after a while, a person came out of the Turkic tent, Xiao Buyi frowned when he saw it, that person was actually a good man, and he couldn't help but be more careful.

Qi Jishe, this person seems to be weak, but he is very cunning, and he was quiet and Xiao Buyi, Li Jingxu and the snake, but secretly wanted to start, but was captured by Li Jing and Xiao Buyi. Li Jing went to see Kedun, using Qi Ji Sheh and Yang Tutun as a congratulatory gift, Yang Tutun is a native of the Central Plains, but also Ke Dun's subordinates, of course, the crime is unforgivable, a knife to behead, but Ji Sheh is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, Kedun still let him go, because she has no need to be too stiff with the Khan. Seeing Qi Jisheying come out, Xiao Buyi had vaguely guessed that there was probably a conspiracy here.

He led the three men to the largest tent in the camp, lifted the curtain and went in, and there was no more sound. Xiao Buyi waited to get up, and suddenly held down the third child again.

Two soldiers walked up from the two of them and muttered, "It's really a sin to look for a camp on such a cold day." ”

Another Turkic soldier said: "Just stay up for another half an hour......

They saw that they were about to get close to Xiao Buyi's body, but they still didn't realize it, Xiao Buyi grabbed a handful of snow with his left hand, stretched out his hand to signal one of the soldiers, the third nodded, understood that Xiao Buyi asked him to deal with the person, reached out and took out a black cloth bag, ready to go.

Xiao Buyi saw that there was no one around, Huo Ran stood up, and the two soldiers were shocked, so they were about to shout, Xiao Buyi had already taken out the knife.

His movements at this moment are really like ghosts, and the white shadows in the snow are in a trance, which makes people unreal. With a flash of knife light in the air, Xiao Buyi had already cut the throats of the two of them, and the snow in his hand flew out, hitting one person's throat, so that the person's blood would not spill. The third child took out a cloth bag and put it on the head of another soldier, but with a force, the man's head had already made a 'click' sound and twisted to the side.

The third murderer has a strange killing method, but he can do things safely, and he doesn't want the soldiers to make a sound, but Xiao Buyi kills people first, and he twists the man's neck behind, which is too much.

The two of them moved quickly, carrying the two Turkic soldiers to the felt tent again, and before Xiao Buyi could speak, the third child had already begun to pick up the man's clothes.

Xiao Buyi secretly praised it, and secretly said that the people Yuan Lan found were low-key, but they were decisive. The two changed into the clothes of the Turkic soldiers, hid the corpse in the snowdrift, and carefully disposed of the bloodstains, then took the spear and swaggered out to patrol.

The weather was cold, and there were few people outside the felt tent except for the soldiers guarding the camp. Xiao Buyi recognized the tent that Ji Ji had entered, walked in that direction in a roundabout way, and then walked straight in front of the felt tent.

Xiao Buyi passed the camp tent, but he didn't arouse the vigilance in the camp tent. The voices in the tent were still the same, not because they were careless, but they didn't expect that the people who had infiltrated the tent would dare to show their faces under their noses.

Going around to the back of the camp tent, Xiao Buyi stood still and listened attentively, but the third child was observing the movement and guarding for Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi's ear power was already good, and after practicing the Yi Jin Sutra, his feelings reached unprecedented sharpness.

He stood in the snow, listened, and in a moment the snowflakes fell on him, almost turning him into a snowman.

The third child walked into the distance, patrolling back and forth, secretly on guard.

The voice in the tent was clear in an instant, and the enthusiastic voice of Qi Jishe sounded first, "Brother Liang, hasn't Lord Liang arrived?" ”

Xiao Buyi's heart shook slightly, and he secretly wondered, who is Lord Liang?

Brother Liang's voice sounded, "I am in trouble, my brother is in trouble, so I was sent here, and I am asked for forgiveness for my sins." ”

Followed by the sound of the placket, it must have been Brother Liang who bowed down to give a salute, but Ji Ji Shi laughed, "Brother Liang is too polite, you and I, we are both mutually beneficial, I don't know how Lord Liang prepared in Shuofang?" ”

Lord Shuo Fangliang? Xiao Buyi secretly thought, could it be Shuofang's Liang Shidu? This person is Liang Zixuan's Laozi, he has been involved with Liang Zixuan for a long time, let Wang Shichong escort Liang Zixuan to the Eastern Capital, and I don't know if he is dead, this person is Liang Shidu's own brother, what is he doing now to find Qi Jishe?

Suddenly thinking that Li Jing said that most of the scholars in northern Xinjiang have something to do with the Turks, Xiao Buyi secretly frowned, secretly thinking that things would become more complicated, and Liang Shidu was also mixed into this troubled water.

"My brother has been well prepared in Shuofang for a long time, but if it is cold today, it is not easy to get into trouble, and if you want to think about it, you must wait until the spring is warm."

Qi Jishe said with a smile: "Since the incident is going to wait for the spring to be warm, I don't know what Brother Liang is doing here?" ”

Brother Liang smiled awkwardly, "I still don't know if Shibo Datak is here?" I came here to make an appointment with Tucker. ”

Qi Jishe said lightly: "Since Liang Shidu refuses to come in person, this matter is not easy to say, Tucker's status is noble, Brother Liang came from afar, I will come to receive it, Liang Luo'er, I'm afraid you are not worthy of Tucker to come to greet you." ”

"What did you say?" Someone shouted.

Liang Luo'er said loudly: "He Sui, don't be rude." ”

Qi Jishe sneered: "Brother Liang, it seems that your subordinates are even more majestic than you. ”

Liang Luo'er hurriedly said: "I don't know the rules, my subordinates don't understand the rules, please don't blame, this is a little heart, please don't blame." ”

There was another bang, Xiao Buyi could only hear the sound, but he couldn't see what Liang Luo'er took out, but it must be some valuable gifts, and sighed in his heart, the scholars in the north of Xinjiang are all colluding with the Turks, even if they win the world, I am afraid they will have to submit to the Turks for the rest of their lives.

Qi Jishe's voice warmed, "Brother Liang is really polite, how can I accept this kind of expensive gift?" ”

"A little heart, if I can say a few kind words for us in front of the Khan, I would be grateful."

Qi Jishe suddenly sighed, "Actually, even if Brother Liang doesn't say it, Shi Bo Datak also told me your intention, Brother Liang came over this time, most of them still came to beg for horses, right?" ”

Liang Luo'er laughed and said: "I guessed it!" Now the Central Plains is full of smoke, the Son of Heaven stayed in Yangzhou, for a time the counties and counties went their own way, the brother knew that the Khan had always been at odds with the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, so he wanted to export his evil anger for the Khan, let us come, I wanted to say to the Khan, I was willing to be the vanguard to guide the Khan to the south, to seize the Central Plains. It's just that there is a shortage of war horses now, and if the Khan can still provide 2,000 war horses in the spring, we should do our best and die. ”

Xiao Buyi's face was angry, and he secretly thought that it would be okay for these people to borrow horses from the Turks to fight the world, after all, sometimes it takes strength to compete for the world. But Liang Shidu and others wanted to collude with the Turkic soldiers to bring disaster to the Central Plains, which is really unforgivable.

Qi Jishe laughed, "It's rare that Lord Liang has such intentions, but if you want to take the Central Plains, you have to pass the level of Li Jing and Li Yuan first." Li Yuan is fine, but Li Jing is not simple. ”

Although he was laughing, there was a faint temptation and fear in the laughter, Xiao Buyi was proud in his heart, secretly thinking that the second brother would become famous in a fight, and this auspicious idea must still have lingering palpitations for Li Jing, so he wanted to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of it.

Liang Luo'er laughed, "You don't have to worry about it, no matter how brave Li Jing is, it's just one person." Besides, he plays for the Great Sui, and now that the Great Sui is in turmoil, who can he find to serve? He sits on the border, and the people near Guanlong regard him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, even if it is Li Yuan, I am afraid that he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. When the time comes, it may not be easy for us to use some means to get rid of him, but it is not difficult to relieve him of military power. Li Jing has no soldiers to bring, even if he is a martial artist, what else can he do? ”

Qi Ji was overjoyed, "So Brother Liang has already calculated, and I would like to hear about it!" ”

Xiao Buyi clenched his fists, thinking about how to ruin this deal, and wanted to hear what Liang Luo'er had to do. Suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he slowly turned his head to look over, and saw the neighing of horses in the distance, and several healthy horses rushed directly past the guards of the Turkic soldiers and came to the tent.

When the Turkic soldiers saw the horses coming, they did not stop them, and let the horses rush to the camp.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Xiao Buyi was also surprised, thinking that there was someone more daring than himself in this world, who dared to rampage here? Squinted over, I found that there was a woman sitting on the first horse, with a white fur on her body, a white fur like snow, without a single miscellaneous hair on it, and the end was luxurious. The woman's face was covered by a white fur, her skin was slightly dark, but her appearance was extremely pretty, she opened her mouth and sighed, and the mist was hazy in the cold wind, like a cold plum in the snow.

She was followed by two slave-looking people, who were quite respectful to the woman in front of her.

There was no movement in the tent, the third child also came over, Xiao Buyi made a look, walked away slowly, and was about to go on patrol, when the woman suddenly pointed and said, "You two come over and give them the prey." ”

Xiao Buyi covered his face with his collar and came over with a spear, and the same was true for the third child. It's colder than you think, it's frosty, it's icy, it's hard work to patrol outside, and so do others.

There was a 'bang', and a roe deer was thrown in front of the two, still with heat, and an arrow in the neck was already choked.

"Take this to my tent and bake it, bake it carefully, don't burn it." The woman commanded, but her eyes were not on the two.

The third child said in a dumb voice: "We still have to keep guard." ”

The woman was absent-minded, but when she heard this, she turned her head and frowned: "I'll let you go to the barbecue, it's so long-winded." ”

Xiao Buyi glanced at the third child, and the third child also knew that this woman was not small, but he didn't know where it was sacred, and Xiao Buyi bent down and lifted the roe deer, and turned around to leave.

The woman shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go barbecue." The third man's scalp was numb, but he didn't know where the woman's tent was.

The woman pointed with a whip, "You are frozen and confused, my tent is over there." Forget it, Lana, you take them, watch them, and if they don't do well, give them a whip. ”

A maidservant girl stepped forward and ordered, "Follow me." Xiao Buyi and the others were helpless, so they followed behind her for the time being.

The woman just scolded the two of them as ordinary soldiers, and they didn't look at each other directly. The curtain tent on the opposite side was raised, and Ji Ji Sheh walked out, with a smile on his face, "Shui Ling Tag, is the hunt back?" ”

The woman did not dismount either, and pointed with a whip: "Ji Sheh, I will let your subordinates help me do things, you have no opinion, right?" ”

Qi Jishe's gaze swept over Xiao Buyi and the others, and when he saw the back, he thought it was an ordinary soldier, and chuckled: "Shui Ling, don't say that you let the soldiers do things, even if you tell me it's no problem." ”

Shui Ling snorted, flicked the horsewhip, and there was a crisp sound in the air, "You are so easy to talk, I will invite you to eat a piece of barbecue in a while." ”

Qi Jishe smiled and said: "Then don't dare to bother, Shui Ling, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." ”

Qi Ji She's attitude was very respectful, Xiao Buyi listened to it from a distance, and secretly thought that another tag would emerge, but the tag could make Ji Ji Shi respectful, could it be the daughter of Shibi Khan?

After pondering, the two of them had arrived at a cowhide tent, and Lana instructed, "Let's barbecue here, be careful." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, where did they think that the news would fall into such a field, Xiao Buyi didn't want to make any extraneous branches, and besides, he wanted to hear about Qi Jishe's calculations, so he quickly peeled off the skin and removed the internal organs of the roe deer, and dried the roe deer with snow. The third child made some moves, and after a while, a shelf was erected, and a fire was lit, Xiao Buyi said to the third child in Turkic: "You barbecue here, I'll ...... it."

He was just about to stand up, when the white shadow flashed, and Shui Ling was already standing in front of him, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Buyi could only say: "I'll go to the sentry." ”

"No need, come in with me." As soon as Shui Ling picked up the curtain tent, he had already taken the camp first, Xiao Buyi couldn't help but be in a daze, and couldn't understand what this woman's intentions were!
