Chapter 216 Hope for help
On a cold snowy night on the grassland, on the way to escape, someone was secretly peeping, which was a terrible thing. However, the peepers did not attack, giving up this good opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop, and after being discovered by Yebei, they fled away.
What's going on? And who could the peeping be?
Yebei was very puzzled, Di Zhixon was completely unaware of it, and it was really difficult to understand what was unreasonable at all.
Others don't know, but Xie Yi can guess a little by himself, and it is easy to guess some.
The most reasonable explanation may be that these people have concerns, or because they have spared themselves in the face of whom.
As for whose face saved him, it is not difficult to think about it, Xie Yi's gaze subconsciously looked to the southeast. According to the position at this time, it was the direction where the state was located, and Kan Ling was there.
At the beginning, Kan Ling never spoke, and those people who didn't want to mention appeared, maybe Ashina's escape from the association rate was also related to them!
If so, everything will be logical, I'm afraid that what happened on the steppe this time is also related to them. This is not Xie Yi's speculation, it is supported by intelligence sources from both the Tang Dynasty and Yebei.
In addition, it is difficult to find a reasonable explanation, so Xie Yi firmly thinks so, it should be eight or nine without leaving ten.
It is certain that there should be more Kan Ling, and I have to thank these people for valuing feelings and faithfulness, otherwise the bearded assassin himself would have fallen asleep forever, and he would become a bloody hedgehog ice sculpture tomorrow.
So I should thank others for not killing, and now that I think about it, I should have accumulated virtue in my previous life, but this is not a good sign after all.
As a fugitive, it is an extremely terrible thing to be discovered, or even followed. Even if the other side did not immediately attack, it does not mean that they have no malicious intent.
Kan Ling's face is limited after all. In the face of interests, the word "faithfulness" is inherently illusory. If you expect others to stick to it for a lifetime, you have to sacrifice your own interests, it must be a donkey kick in the brain.
The simplest way to do it, they don't do it themselves, or it is convenient to do it, does not mean that they will not notify others, at least they can leak the news to others.
What will happen if your whereabouts are revealed? It's unimaginable. You can't think about the good.
It is very necessary to move immediately, otherwise there is a high risk of death. At the critical moment when it was only two or three days away from the Datang border, no one wanted such a mistake, but unfortunately the luck was not good, so they could only hold on to it and find a way.
But in the dark night, where do you dare to easily transfer without knowing the enemy's situation? Although it was discovered. But under the cliff, there is still a little place to hold, at least not to worry about being attacked from behind, even if it is hard to fight for a while.
But if it is easy to move. Once you become a live target in the dark grassland, what will be the result? There is no need to attack at close range, just stand at a distance and shoot arrows.
Of course, this kind of self-defeating approach cannot be done. In desperation, he could only stay all night, and then embark on the road of escape again after dawn.
As for whether you can escape. Then it depends on luck, Xie Yi believes that his luck should be good.
β¦β¦
After dawn, on the white grassland, watching the Tang envoy team go away, a masked woman in a leather coat, but still visible purple skirt, was stunned and silent for a long time.
"Sister, why?" Behind him, a young man standing with a sword in his hand asked softly, he didn't say anything specific, just asked why.
The woman in purple naturally understood the reason for what he asked, but she didn't say a word, didn't say anything, and didn't answer.
"Is it because of Brother Kan Ling?" Seeing this, the young man whispered, apparently already having some ideas.
The woman in purple still didn't say anything, but her slightly swaying body had already given an answer, and she was silent for a long time before she said: "Anyway, they are all in-laws, if I kill him, he will probably hate me!" β
They, him, him, and her who never appeared......
There are several personal pronouns in a sentence, and they don't understand what they say, and outsiders will probably be confused when they hear it, but young men
It's all in my heart.
After nodding slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Yes, after all, Brother Kan never betrayed us at the beginning, and he was kind to us in the past." If you let go of the surname Xie today, it can be regarded as a favor for him, but in this way, this time the north will be completely abandoned, is the eldest sister willing? β
"Of course you are unwilling, but what can you do if you are unwilling?" The woman in purple sighed lightly, her words were very unwilling, but she was also quite helpless.
The young man suggested softly, "Why don't we try to leak the news to the people of Xue Yantuo and inform them of their path...... If we don't make a move, it is already benevolent, and they were unfortunately found and intercepted by the Xue Yantuo people, so it's no wonder that we are not surprised. β
"This ......" The masked woman in purple was obviously a little worried.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, even if Brother Kan Ling knows in the future, he won't blame you, this move is also
Worthy of him. Can't because of their in-law relationship, they are afraid of the surname Xie everywhere and delay our big event, right? β
The young man said: "And if this move is done properly, if Dadu sets them back to the Tang Realm, will it directly lead to a conflict with the Tang Army?" If the kid surnamed Xie can get out safely, it is his luck, and if he unfortunately dies in the grassland, then it is no wonder that others can induce a direct conflict between Tang Jun and Xue Yantuo at that time, so ...... Isn't that exactly how we want it to end? β
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at the look of the purple-clothed masked woman, paused slightly, and said softly, "I don't know what the eldest sister thinks?" β
"Okay, just do as you say." A moment of struggle appeared on the face of the masked woman in purple, a little painful, but in the end it turned into a resolute decision.
In the face of interests and so-called benevolence, there is really nothing to compare. As for Kan Leng's feelings, he can't take care of them for a while, if he really understands himself, he won't blame himself, it just makes it a little difficult for him to do, but after all, it's gone.
Why should you worry about others here? What the final result is, who laughs and who cries, it all depends on the will of God!
"Yes!" The young man answered, escorted the woman in purple and left quietly, and then sent someone to a nearby Xue Yantuo tribe to find the tribal leader there.
At that time, the north wind was howling and the snow was fluttering......
β¦β¦
Dadu has been in a bad mood lately. The original prince Xue Yantuo, who was originally infinitely beautiful, suddenly fell out of favor and was lonely.
Daddy Yinan's attitude towards him seemed to have suddenly become a little cold, and the big winter actually let him leave the sweat tent and come to the south
It's a chore. If full military power is granted, it would be okay to garrison the south and confront the Tang Dynasty, which is a dream that Dadu has set up for a long time.
But Daddy's performance is more like a thief to guard himself, saying that he sent a few deputy generals to help him. But in fact, it is still decentralization and moderation, lest some of his actions threaten him. Regarding this matter, Dadu is indeed a little dissatisfied, although the Tang Dynasty envoys are hateful, their practice of canonizing the little khan is still very good, but unfortunately this matter is not so obvious now, it is really a pity!
Dadu sighed with emotion, and thought of the Turks in his heart.
The attitude of the Western Turks also changed greatly, and they were originally close to themselves. Hulu Xiao Khan originally said that he would fully support him, but now the situation is ......
Although the Western Turks did not say it explicitly, in fact the changes were significant.
It was obvious that Hulu of the Western Turks suddenly became very cold to himself. In turn, Yu Tu Li lost a lot of acquaintances, took care of each other, and the contacts were much closer. Although there is no actual evidence, Dadu has already noticed it. The Western Turks have colluded with the Turks, and according to the Han Chinese, they should be called complicity.
Generously set up to scold people. The Western Turks were simply despicable villains, who turned back on their word, treacherously turned to the Turks, and somehow turned to the Turks.
Obviously, he is the eldest prince of Xue Yantuo, the most powerful and powerful person, and the entire Xue Yantuo grassland will be his own in the future. If the Western Turks want to form an alliance, who will they find if they don't look for themselves?
But it's very strange, I don't want Hu Lu to take a fancy to the weak boy who Tu Lisu.
Dadushe's heart was full of resentment, and he almost burst into a thunderstorm, he couldn't understand Hu Lu's approach, and even doubted whether Hu Lu Xiao Khan was colluding with the Western Turkic Khan behind his back, and what kind of conspiracy he wanted. At one point, he even had the idea of sending someone to the Tianshan Mountains to report to the Western Turkic Khan.
The worst thing is that when he was born at this critical time, his father Yi Nan actually transferred himself out of the sweat tent, and he did not give him greater power, which was like a derogatory.
Suddenly from a collection of thousands of favors to an uncle who doesn't love grandma doesn't love, the gap is still quite big, how can he stand it?
The point is that he still does not recognize the reality, he still thinks very highly of himself, and does not realize that his father has completely abandoned himself along with the Western Turks, and will even abandon himself.
In his opinion, being thrown to the southern border now means a loss, but it also means a few opportunities.
Those Tang envoys fled from the sweat tent, and Tu Lishi searched and pursued everywhere to no avail, and they were still making trouble in the east, which was very embarrassing. If you can catch these people, isn't it a different story?
Magnanimity is full of thoughts, if he can make new contributions, can he cover up the sudden profits and losses? Regained the recognition and support of his father, the Western Turks, and the soldiers and subjects of Xue Yantuo. At the very least, it could be used to attack him and stop him from moving forward.
swallowed dates, whimsical, and didn't even understand the reason and task for going south, so he hurriedly threw himself into "work".
What's more coincidental is that if you want to doze off, someone will send a pillow, and when you are depressed, someone will come to report the news, and some tribes have discovered the traces of the Tang Mission.
I really want to come to something, in the words of the Han people, it seems to be called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it, it's good, it's good!
Dadu was immediately excited, ordered a comprehensive search and interception, and personally led his troops to chase him out, and went straight to the Tang border, which was bound to intercept the Tang envoys in the Xue Yantuo grassland.
β¦β¦
The snow was still falling, and the grassland was white.
The howling north wind whipped up the fluttering boots, and the chill made people shiver, and it was definitely a terrible thing to ride a horse at this time. But he didn't care, just silently bowed his head and walked quickly.
It was already noon the next day, and at this time, Xie Yi found that his reaction and decision were quite wise. Those snoopers in the shadows did not move, but Xue Yantuo's cavalry did, and the number of cavalry who went out to patrol increased several times more than usual, and they mainly appeared in the areas where their group was infested.
Could it be a coincidence? The reality is cruel, and no one would have such naΓ―ve thoughts. Especially in such a weather with raging wind and snow, such behavior is very abnormal and unreasonable.
Fortunately, there was a master like Yebei, and he found the traces of Xue Yantuo's pursuers in time. Although the wind and snow affected the operation, it also covered up a lot of tracks, and in the same way, the people of Xue Yantuo were also affected by the wind and snow, and it was not easy to search and hunt for them.
It is precisely because of this that Xie Yi and others were able to avoid the disaster.
But in this way, the road back to Datang has become extremely difficult, and what is even worse is that there is always a tail behind him, and he always only peeps and does not sneak attack, but it will leave traces and attract Xue Yantuo's pursuers.
However, maybe it was luck, maybe someone was in control of the rhythm, Xue Yantuo people were never able to catch up with Xie Yi and the others, and they always maintained a situation where they were imminent, but dangerous and difficult to touch.
Originally, Xie Yi planned to hide in a roundabout way, avoid Xue Yantuo's edge, and then secretly look for an opportunity to escape, but according to the current situation, there is no such possibility.
It doesn't work, and it's not necessary.
It is already very close to the border of Datang, it is better to take a risk and run south directly, if you can enter the border of Datang first, it will be safe.
Of course, it would be best if the Datang border army could take over, and even play a life-saving role at a critical moment
At this time, it is not far from Lingzhou, where there are the most elite government soldiers in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, if you can contact Li Dao, the king of Jiangxia County stationed in Lingzhou, and get his help and rescue, then you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune.
This task fell to Yebei, he has a unique skill, his body is the most sensitive, it is easy to avoid Xue Yantuo's encirclement and pursuit single-handedly, and he can fight his way out of the encirclement in the shortest time and go to ask for help.
At this moment, time is of the essence, as long as Li Daozong's men can arrive, everyone will be safe.
I believe that with Li Daozong's courage, he will not have many scruples, even if he directly leads his troops into the territory of Xue Yantuo.
At this time, there is no need to worry about these so-called mutual non-aggression, if Xue Yantuo has an antipathy, they will also deploy troops to attack if they do not violate the border. If Yi Nan didn't have the intention of using troops, what could Datang do even if there was a little bit of "invasion"? Yi Nan has nothing to say, and he can still take the opportunity to knock on it, so why not?
The most important thing is to save the lives of his group, so Xie Yi can't help but look forward to the stars, the moon, and the rescuers! (To be continued......)
