Chapter 97: Exhausted
At this moment, a flying horse came running from a distance, and a big man dressed as a Han turned over and dismounted, and said, "My subordinates see the master." Princess Jinxiu looked around cautiously, and with a wave of her hand, Kezhan and Bashanhe immediately dispersed to the surrounding guard.
"Get up, Kotu." Princess Splendid said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Princess, the army of 500,000 horses in the southeast of Dingxiang City has almost been raised, and the Great Khan has sent the most elite masters of my Turks to cooperate with the princess to prepare everything in Lotus Mountain, ensuring that no one who enters the mountain will come out alive." Koturan said.
"Very well, it is really surprising to me that the horses of 500,000 people were collected so quickly, I wonder who is in charge of this?" Princess Splendid asked.
"Princess Yu, it was personally organized by Fengjie, the second prince of the Great Khan. This time, the men of the Lotus Mountain ambush were also personally dispatched by him."
"Very well, with his help, what can't be done?" Princess Splendid had a look of satisfaction and admiration on her face. She thought for a while and said, "Ketu, you tell the people of the second prince, don't act rashly, the God of War Heavenly Soldier is destined to be in the hands of the Heavenly Demon Purple Master, and those Central Plains characters only have one death, so they don't have to rush to attack."
"Yes."
"What did Master Zi say, is he willing to get out?" Princess Splendid asked with concern.
"Princess, the Purple Master is still going to retreat for a while, and in the meantime, the Flame Sect has begun to assemble, and the sharp edge is directed at Shaolin, Tianshan, and Yuenu Palace." Cotu Road.
"Very good, when the matter of the divine military order is over, it will be the turn of these three major factions." Princess Splendid said excitedly.
"Princess," seeing the princess's joyful face, Kotu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Two pieces of bad news."
"Oh?" Princess Splendid felt a pang in her heart and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Turki Khan has descended to Tang." Cotu said bitterly.
"This cowardly brute!" Princess Splendid said fiercely, "Can the second prince take any action?"
Ketu said: "According to the princess's strategy, the second prince rebelled against the officers and soldiers under Tuli from the commander of a thousand commanders, so that he had to surrender more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers. The 100,000 troops under his command have all been absorbed by the second prince without realizing it."
"Good!" Princess Jinxiu clapped her hands and said, "We must show weakness to the enemy, so that Li Shimin mistakenly thinks that the ** people have betrayed their relatives and fallen into a desperate situation. You tell the second prince that it is best to send away the families of the Tang officers and soldiers who surrendered with the Turks, so that the Tang people think that all the 100,000 Turki troops have surrendered. Also, find a way to inform Tu Li that his three sons are still in our hands, and I don't care if he lowers the Tang, but if he talks nonsense and makes us lose something, he will immediately kill his children and feed the eagle."
"Yes!" Kotu snapped.
"Anything else?"
"This, Your Royal Highness Princess, Yu Sheshi wants to surrender to Tang, and several chiefs are persuading him." Cotu Road.
Princess Jinxiu was dizzy for a while, her chest was tight, she spat out turbidity, and said in a pestering voice, "Okay, good, even he wants to descend to Tang." Are we really going to die?"
"Her Royal Highness the princess cherishes her body, Jili Khan has secretly kidnapped more than 20 of his children and relatives according to your strategy, and ordered the general Hu Bingtai to secretly plot against the low-level generals and soldiers under his account, even if he surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, he will only get 100,000 old and weak women and children." Kotu hurriedly said.
"Very good," Princess Jinxiu felt a buzz in her head, and she reluctantly said calmly, "Tell Uncle Ji Li to let Yu She set up a Tang Dynasty, don't conflict with him, and make him return south with his family, so that the Tang Dynasty mistakenly thinks that I have lost a total of 290,000 men and horses from Tuli and Yu She. Finally, warn Yu Sheshe that as long as he obediently descends to Tang and doesn't talk nonsense, he can still see his children."
"Yes." Kotu said loudly.
"Go ahead, and be sure to bring my words." Princess Splendid said in a deep voice.
Kotu nodded firmly, got on his horse, and walked away.
When Ke Zhan and Bashanhe returned to Princess Splendid Beauty, her face had turned iron-blue, her eyes were flashing with Venus, and her body was shaky. Bashanhe's sharp eyes immediately saw that something was wrong with the princess, rushed forward to support her body, and said in a trembling voice, "Princess, are you a little tired?" When he said the word "tired", his tone was very strange, and when he heard the word, Ke Zhan was also excited, and hurriedly rushed forward.
Princess Splendid began to shake like chaff, and whispered, "You two quickly help me to a quiet place to rest, I'...... I'm so sleepy!" Hearing this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the heads of Kezhan and Bashan River, and the two of them hurriedly helped Princess Jinxiu onto their horses and found a secluded inn in Suzhou to stay.
At this time, Princess Splendid had fallen asleep deeply.
"Princess, she's going to have another seizure?" Ke asked in fear.
Bashanhe's face was solemn, and he sighed, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has been working too hard recently. All the affairs on the prairie have to be handled carefully by her, and now that she has arrived in the Central Plains, she has to arrange an operation to exterminate the martial arts forces in the Central Plains. She's extremely smart, but she's only a girl in her early twenties, and she's too much work."
A sad look appeared on Ke Zhan's face, "Her mother was so tired to death, and now she has to bear this burden again. It's pathetic."
"Every time she gets exhausted, she's like that." Bashanhe muttered. The two were relatively speechless, just silently waiting for Princess Splendid to wake up from her sleep. Outside the window, the chirping of the beam-fringing swallows echoed, and everything around seemed unusually quiet.
Suddenly, the sleeping princess Huo Diwan woke up, took off the silk scarf covering her cheeks, and said unhappily, "Oh, who covered my face again?" The unveiled princess is like a pearl of the South China Sea emerging from the unfolded mussel shell, radiating a dreamy and strange charm. Although Bashanhe and Kezhan have experienced countless such scenes, there is still a moment of distraction for a while. It is a beauty that is too extravagant and unreal, and what a sad and poignant fate will be for a woman with such charm.
"It's you two again, why are you covering my face while I'm sleeping?" Princess Splendid asked unhappily.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, because...... Because you are so beautiful, we are afraid that someone will disturb you while you are sleeping." But the battle is stubborn.
Princess Splendid immediately became happy, got up from the bed, jumped off the ground, came to Ke Zhan, and asked, "Even if you can speak, I want to practice swords, you can accompany me."
An embarrassed look appeared on Ke Zhan's face, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay."
Princess Jinxiu looked at the Bashan River on the side again, and said, "You big wood, go and buy me some fun, if you make me unhappy, I won't spare you."
Bashanhe scratched his head in embarrassment, and reluctantly said, "My subordinates do their best." After saying three steps, he took two steps and ran out of the door. Princess Splendid couldn't wait to rush out of the inn room, came to the courtyard, and took a deep breath of the fresh and pleasant air after the rain in the south of the Yangtze River. "It smells so good! Where is this? Where have you brought me?"
Ke Zhan rushed out of the door, came to her side and said respectfully, "Princess, you slept for a long time last night, and while you were asleep, we brought you to Jiangnan."
"Wow, Gangnam!" Princess Splendid turned around excitedly, and her colorful clothes seemed to turn into a ball of gorgeous fireworks, "Where I want to come in my dreams, you guys are so good!" She came to Ke Zhan in three steps and two jumps, put her arms around his neck, hugged him, and said, "You still love me the most, how can others let me come out." But Zhan's eyes were mottled for a while, and it was easy to come to his senses, and he forced a smile: "Hehe, you are our princess, of course we have to be nice to you."
Princess Splendid pushed him away, looked at everything around her curiously, and said excitedly, "Look at these flowers, they seem to be more fragrant and gorgeous than the flowers of our steppe. You see how slender and charming these trees are, like maidens. And the trees of our prairie are like short and ugly old men. There are also the streams in the distance, those bridges, and those houses near the water, how leisurely, how soft, as if they could stay so comfortably for a thousand years. And where are the people on our prairie so comfortable? It's so beautiful, I really don't want to go back."
But Zhan hurriedly said, "Princess, don't think so. The Han people here look down on us and will bully us. The prairie is our own place, no one dares to mess with us, it's better to be on the prairie."
Princess Splendid smiled, "They won't bully us. You're going to protect me, aren't you?"
Ke Zhan had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, I'm going to practice my sword, be careful." Princess Splendid said loudly.
Ke Zhan hurriedly copied the starting point of the steel gun and took the stake as a gesture.
Half an hour later, an astonishing sword light shot into the sky, followed by a panicked roar.
