Chapter 404: The Turkic Royal Court
After the Turkic deputy envoy said these extremely provocative words, Ashinamoko looked at Li Bin coldly on the sidelines with a look of schadenfreude and revenge, waiting to see Li Bin's panicked and embarrassed appearance.
"Really? But I also have my own difficulties, the army I lead is all infantry, and the speed of the march is not comparable to the elite cavalry under the command of King Zuoguli. It's not impossible to increase the speed of the march, it's just ......" Li Bin stopped when he wanted to speak.
Seeing that Li Bin's tone was somewhat relaxed, the Turkic deputy envoy spoke Turkic with Ashinamoke, and asked Li Bin: "We, King Zuogu Li, ask the general to tell the difficulty, as long as it can be solved, our King Zuogu Li is willing to provide full assistance." Our King Zuo Gu Li also said that he doesn't want to see the tragic scene of the general and your subordinates falling to the ground. ”
Li Bin secretly sneered in his heart at Ashina Moke's remarks of fake compassion, but on the surface, he said: "The general believes that the Qi infantry soldiers in the team have seriously slowed down the marching speed, and now there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry guards in the ranks, and the value of the existence of the Qi infantry under my command is not great. ”
The Turkic deputy envoy muttered to Ashinamoke for a while, then turned to Li Bin and said, "Our King Zuogu Li said that as long as the general can speed up the march, the general can do whatever he wants, and we have no objections. ”
After receiving the reply that Ashinamoke's side would not interfere and obstruct, Li Bin was happy, and the big trouble he was most worried about in the placement of the soldiers escorted by the Qi army was finally solved. As long as the more than 2,000 infantry troops accompanying the escort of the Qi army are properly placed, a stone in Li Bin's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground. There is no longer the bond of thousands of Qi army infantry troops. Li Bin acted more freely, and would no longer be threatened by the Turks everywhere.
"General Lee. Our king of the left valley has said that from tomorrow onwards, the speed of the march must be the same as the speed of our mission, and there is no room for bargaining! ”
The Turkic deputy envoy said to Li Bin in a threatening tone of Ashinamoko.
"I'll try my best, if it's okay, be light, I still have things to do." After Li Bin finished speaking, he immediately walked away, leaving Ashina Moke and his party in the tent stunned and at a loss.
"Captain Ye, you immediately form a team. Bring enough provisions, and all the soldiers who came to escort them will return to Daqi tomorrow. Li Bin called his deputy, Captain Ye, over and gave an order.
"This hasn't reached the royal court yet, let's go back like this, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, right? It's not easy to deal with. Captain Ye said with a sad face.
"If you don't leave now, when you arrive at the Turkic royal court, no one will be able to leave." Li Bin said in a very determined tone.
"Huh?" Captain Ye was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed greatly.
"You return to the northern border and speak to the king of Chu. Let's just say that I gave the order to retreat, and the king of Chu will try his best to protect you, and I will ensure that you are okay! Li Bin said in order to dispel the concerns in Captain Ye's heart.
After getting Li Bin's words. Captain Ye weighed it and decided to carry out Li Bin's order to retreat first and return to Daqi.
At dawn the next day, the Qi army escorted the infantry army under the leadership of Captain Ye. The whole of them marched in the direction of Daqi Pass.
Li Bin and Qi Min and their entourage, surrounded by the Turkic cavalry, rushed to the Turkic royal court. The speed of the march has increased by at least ten times compared to before the exit, and the number of camps per day has been reduced to one.
This road has been traveled for more than 20 days. Qi Min has completely mastered the internal exercises of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" taught by Li Bin, and the effect of the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" exercises is very prominent, and the long-term practice has obvious effects on the enhancement and improvement of the meridian functions of the cultivator's body, which is much better than the Wudang School Tai Chi Internal Strength Mental Method practiced by Qi Min.
After marching deep into the Turkic hinterland for seven or eight days, Li Bin could often see the Turkic cavalry roaring and galloping past on the steppe, and the Turkic forces gathered and mobilized this time were really not a small number, far exceeding the scale of the last southern invasion.
Three days later, Li Bin heard the unique sound of the Turkic horn chirping, and this time, judging from the intensity of the horn chirping, Li Bin guessed that there would definitely be a large Turkic army nearby, and the number would definitely not be less than 100,000!
When Li Bin single-handedly attacked the 100,000-strong army of the Turks, the intensity of the Turks' horn was far less intense than this time.
"General Li, not far ahead is our Turkic royal court, our Khan means to directly welcome the nine princesses into the royal court's big tent, and red tape is exempted." The king of the Turkic Zuogu Li took his deputy envoy to the princess's carriage and ordered Li Bin, it was just a routine notice, and he didn't take Li Bin, the general who was escorting, in his eyes at all.
Just when Ashina Moke beckoned to his subordinates who followed behind him, ready to take over the frame of the Ninth Princess Qi Min, Li Bin shouted loudly and said coldly: "How can the wedding of the Ninth Princess of Great Qi be hasty, Suleiman Khan's move, General Ben will not agree!" ”
"Look for death! Anyone who dares to disobey the Khan's orders will eventually die without a place to be buried! Seeing that Li Bin dared to do it against him alone, Ashinamoke immediately shouted angrily.
Ashinamoko was furious, and a series of crackling threatening and scolding words came out in a row, which was busy with the deputy envoy who translated and relayed.
"General Li, you are so bold and reckless, I am afraid that your life will be lost later, and the Khan hates despicable people to disobey him the most." Said the Turkic deputy envoy.
"My life is mine, in order to maintain the dignity of Daqi and the dignity of the princess, I must fulfill my responsibilities!" Li Bin didn't give an inch.
Seeing this, Ashinamoke had to retreat temporarily, and offended the nine princesses without getting Suleiman's order, and Ashinamoko was not easy to explain.
At Li Bin's insistence, Su Leiman had no choice but to change his original intention and directly marry the ninth princess, so he had to hold an extremely grand and formal marriage ceremony outside the royal court.
The horns sounded in unison, and the 200,000 Turkic cavalry on the vast steppe of the Turkic royal court lined up neatly and solemnly, waving flags and armor, and the 200,000 Turkic elite cavalry lined up and waited, and the team stretched for more than dozens of miles, as if the head and tail could not be seen.
Li Bin was armed with a sword and followed closely beside Qi Min.
"Sister Min, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." Li Bin whispered in Qi Min's ear.
"Hmm." Qi Min looked at Li Bin with affection.
Li Bin tried his best to look at Suleiman Khan, who was looking for the Turks, but he didn't see it, and at this moment, Li Bin suddenly sensed a powerful energy source approaching him. This feeling brought Li Bin a bad premonition, there was a top master of this level in the Turkic royal court, and Li Bin secretly complained in his heart. (To be continued.) )
