Chapter 167 Confrontation
Chalahan, the right virtuous king of the Tianyuan royal court, has just passed the age of not being confused, with the dark skin that plateau people generally have, and his high-ranking career for many years has long given him a bearing of not being angry and arrogant, and his sharp eyes are especially breathtaking.
Under the Tianyuan Khan, except for the crown prince, the left and right virtuous kings have the highest status. At this point, Xiao Yan, the princess of the Tianyuan Royal Court, had to lean back.
This strong man who only showed the cultivation of the early stage of the Wang Ji Realm in front of people, the actual realm had already reached the middle stage of the Wang Ji Realmβthis was also the consistent strategy of the Tian Yuan Wang Ting's Taoguang cultivation.
King Youxian turned back on his war horse, and saw the light cavalry of the Yanmen army with bright armor and bright clothes and angry horses, led by a heroic young general wearing bright light armor, marching forward without hurrying and swaggering.
He reined in the reins of his horse and ordered the ranks to halt their advance, his face unchanged, except to look at the young general from afar.
"The king, this young general, is the eldest son of Zhao Beiwang, the guard general of Yanmen Pass, and the only heir to the head of the family currently established by the Zhao family.
"According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the reason why she failed in Yanping City was inseparable from this person. And Her Royal Highness the princess suspects that this young general may even be the biggest factor in the failure of the Daizhou matter!
"In the judgment of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the wisdom of this young general can be described as 'great wisdom and close to demons', and it must not be taken lightly.
"I just don't know why he came up with so many light horses at this time. β
Beside Chalahan, an old man in a black robe who was more than half a hundred years old and looked elegant and very wise, learned the favorite beard strokes of the Qi people's doctors, and said thoughtfully.
Charahan didn't move like a mountain, and said lightly: "The characters who can make Her Royal Highness the princess return with a feather are naturally not to be underestimated." The princess said that he was a rare young handsome man in Daqi, so it would never be wrong. β
The old man who played the role of a strategist beside Youxian Wang said with a clear look: "Speaking of which, most of the Zhao clan are battlefield killers, and there are not many people who are truly wise, that is, Zhao Beiwang's wife is worth mentioning."
"Last year, the plan of the state was aimed at the other party, and as a result, the plan to ambush Zhao Beiwang and his wife failed, which was very harmful to us.
"Now that the Zhao family has such a young demon, and he suddenly came to Yanmen Pass, the deep meaning of this is worth pondering.
"Besides, so far, the royal court has not found out the 'spy' of the Qi people......"
Hearing the spy of the royal court, Charahan couldn't help but have a low gaze.
As the Right Virtuous King, he knew very well how much this spy had a big constraint on the royal court.
If this spy is not cleared, it will be almost impossible for the royal court to move an inch. No one knows when the secrets of the royal court's major affairs and military deployments will be leaked.
But after so much time, this spy just hasn't been found!
Just as Zhao Ning said to Xiao Yan in the prison of Dali Temple before, he dared to say that there was such a spy in the Tianyuan Royal Court, because he was convinced that they would not be able to find out.
When Xiao Yan returned to the Tianyuan Royal Court and brought these words, at that time, including King Youxian, they all felt that Zhao Ning, a stinky boy who had not dried up, did not know the height of the sky.
But it turns out that this is indeed the case.
If it weren't for the fact that the matter of Daizhou had already happened, and Xiao Yan's well-managed and meticulous forces collapsed suddenly overnight, the Tianyuan Royal Court would think that Zhao Ning was talking nonsense, and the Tianyuan Royal Court didn't have that spy at all!
Now Tianyuan Khan is very angry, and King Youxian is also under a lot of pressure.
All in all, all of this made King Youxian think solemnly when he saw Zhao Ning.
Although he seems to be calm and breezy on the surface, and his majesty is not affected in the slightest, but in his heart he is full of thoughts, and he has never and dare not take it lightly.
Seeing that the light cavalry of the Yanmen army had caught up, Zhao Ning took several horses first, approaching him straight, and the right sage king Charahan restrained his spirit.
He wants to meet this in person for a while, the key opponent of the Tianyuan Royal Court in the coming day - the heir of the Zhao family and the young marshal of the Yanmen Army.
Zhao Ning saw that the Right Xian King took the initiative to get off the horse first, and he didn't deliberately take a posture, turned over and dismounted and took two steps forward, and saluted the other party - no matter what, Daqi and Tianyuan Wang Court have not completely torn their faces yet.
"Chalahan, the right virtuous king of the Tianyuan royal court, has seen General Zhao. β
"Zhao Ning of the Yanmen Army has seen King Youxian. β
The difference in the identities between the two is actually very large, but because of the relationship of national status, Zhao Ning does not need to have too much etiquette, when the other party touches his chest with his hand and bows down, he simply hugs his fists.
He was very familiar with Chalahan, the right sage king of the Tianyuan tribe, and Zhao Ning was very familiar with his previous life.
As one of the two most powerful kings under Tianyuan Khan and the crown prince, Charahan was born noblely and is a cousin of Tianyuan Khan, with the same surname as Tianyuan Khan: Er Chijun.
Therefore, his full name is Child-Chijun Charahan, just like Xiao Yan's real name: Yan'er Child-Monarch Yanyan Temur.
Matching with it, it is Chalahan's cultivation strength and military talent, when the Tianyuan army broke through the Yanmen Pass in the previous life, the other party was the vanguard commander and took the lead in breaking into the Guancheng.
At that time, with the cultivation of the middle stage of the Wang Ji Realm, he rampaged through Guancheng and slaughtered in all directions, and no one could stop him.
In the ten-year national war, Charahan has made great contributions.
Yanping City was broken, it was he and King Zuo Xian who joined forces to do it, and the only mid-stage powerhouse in the Yuan Shen Realm in Daqi at that time was beheaded by the two of them at that time.
After that, there were countless masters of the Great Qi General Gate who were killed by Chalahan. Countless young geniuses, strong generals in the army, and Daqi Junyan, who could have gone further, have all become white bones on the battlefield in his hands.
Later, if it weren't for Song Zhi's timely achievement of the middle stage of the Wang Ji Realm, and in just a few years, he would have stepped into the late stage of the Wang Ji Realm with one foot, and often drove his own expeditions, filling the gap in the combat power of the top cultivators of the Great Qi, I am afraid that the Great Qi would not be able to hold out for ten years.
The past is like smoke, but it has not set off many waves in Zhao Ning's heart at this moment.
It's been a year since he was reborn, and he can now ignore many things.
It's not that he's just seen something, it's that he's done well enough to change a lot of things.
All these gave him confidence, confidence and hope.
"As soon as I left with my front foot, General Zhao chased after me with my back foot, I don't know what happened?"
The real question in his heart was: Zhao Ningmo didn't come to ask them to go back to enter the customs, didn't Da Qi Mo allow them to go to Yanping City?
Zhao Ning smiled slightly, "On the orders of Your Majesty, I am going to lead the cavalry to patrol the grassland. β
His words were unfazed, and they fell into the ears of the Right Sage King, but they made the latter's heart surge. Chalahan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the thousand elite cavalry behind Zhao Ning.
The large and small tribes of the grassland are nominally all vassals of the Great Qi, and when the Tianyuan Khan saw the Song Dynasty, he also wanted to perform the courtier ceremony, in this sense, the Great Qi had control over the grassland.
But in fact, it has been a long time since the Great Qi Border Army has entered the grassland on a large scale to patrol. There may be various exchanges on weekdays, and Daqi also sends civil officials to carry the envoy team out of the customs.
Like Zhao Ning, there are no civilian officials in the team, but a thousand elite horsemen are dispatched, which has rarely appeared in recent decades.
"But which tribe has been infested by horse thieves and asked the general to come to their aid?" asked Charahan calmly, without showing any abnormality.
Zhao Ning glanced at a circle of Chalahan's subordinates, and said lightly: "Without horse thieves, the Great Qi border army can't enter the grassland?"
Because of the ghost in his heart, Charahan sighed in his heart.
Although there are royal courts of the four major tribes on the grassland, there are still many small and medium-sized tribes, and the latter encounter the infestation of horse thieves and ask for help from the border army of Daqi, although there are not many, but there are also things.
In this case, it is very normal for the Great Qi border army to be dispatched.
However, Zhao Ning's answer told Charahan that this was not the case at the moment.
So Zhao Ning, the heir of the head of the Zhao family, the future general of Yanmen Pass, the demon in Xiao Yan's eyes, and the unique young handsome man in Daqi, suddenly led the border army to inspect the grassland, what is his real purpose?
Charahan can't help but think about it.
"Of course, the Heavenly Empire can patrol the grassland at any time. Charahan said without any flaws, his face was as calm and calm as ever, without seeing the depths, and it just showed his deference to Daqi:
"If General Zhao is going to the royal court of the Tianyuan clan, this king is honored to be able to walk with the general. The court of Tianyuan will also shine brightly because of the arrival of the general, and it will definitely entertain the general. β
How could Zhao Ning not know the tentative meaning of Chalahan's words, and chuckled:
"King Youxian doesn't have to be so tempted, the general can clearly tell King Youxian: This time someone from the Yanmen Army will go to the Tianyuan Palace, but he is not the general.
"However, Ben Jiang has always been very interested in the Tian Yuan clan, and if he has time in the future, he would like to visit, and if King Youxian still remembers today, don't forget to entertain Ben Jiang. β
After saying this, without waiting for King Youxian to say anything, Zhao Ning casually hugged his fists, "The general still has military affairs in his body, so I won't say anything more to King Youxian." You and I will see each other again in the coming day, and it will not be too late to talk about wine and candles at night. β
As he spoke, Zhao Ning waved his hand, signaled the team behind him to follow, raised his horsewhip lightly, and took the lead from the team of the Right Sage King.
The envoy team of the Tianyuan Royal Court got out of the way of the middle road, and watched Zhao Ning pass in front of him with the light cavalry of the Yanmen Army, without squinting and majestically.
During the process, the right sage king on the side of the road did not speak.
It wasn't until all the 1,000 Yanmen troops went away that King Youxian sank his face.
At this time, there was murderous aura in his eyes.
It's the murderous aura that has been covering up before.
If possible, he could easily kill Zhao Ning, and even swallow the thousand light horses.
But he couldn't.
The current situation is very different from when Zhao Ning first arrived in Daizhou last year, he dares to make a move against the Yanmen Army today, and tomorrow Daqi will declare war on the Tianyuan Royal Court.
"King, Zhao Ning's words are very meaningful, it seems that the Yanmen army patrolling the grassland is not the only one. The black-robed old man pondered.
This is what Zhao Ning has explained, Charahan has already digested it, and what he is thinking about now is Zhao Ning's later sentence: You and I will see you again in the future.
What does that mean?
When is the coming date?
Where to meet?
Battlefield or Tian Yuan Royal Court?
Who went to the Tianyuan Royal Court? Zhao Beiwang? Zhao Ning will also go to the Tianyuan Royal Court in the future, why did he go, and what did he do?
Or did Zhao Ning go to the battlefield? He knew that the Tianyuan Imperial Court was going to launch a war to destroy the Tartar Dadan? The Yanmen army had already known about this? How did they know? It was the spy who leaked it? Who was that spy who?
The Yanmen army has decided to intervene in this war, what will they do, and when will they intervene?
What was the purpose of the Yanmen Army's dispatch of several troops and horses into the grassland to inspect this time? How should the Tianyuan Imperial Court deal with it? What exactly did the Great Qi Emperor have planned? Will the Great Qi send troops to the grassland on a large scale?
Many questions sprung up in the mind of the Right Sage King, and the bombardment made his head buzz.
He couldn't get an answer for a while.
Xiao Yan's fine forces were all wiped out, and she herself returned to the grassland, and now that Yuan Wangting had lost its source in Daqi today, she couldn't figure out these problems in time.
The scouts sent to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass and Shanhaiguan have not found any useful information so far, and they cannot provide a basis for the judgment of the Tianyuan Royal Court.
Chalahanrao is very wise, and his head is as big as a fight at the moment.
At last, he got on his horse and looked at the light cavalry that was moving away, and thought deeply.
At this moment, he had calmed down a lot, and said leisurely: "A few simple words have thrown out many hidden questions, so that this king's mind does not belong to ...... This future Zhenguo Gong of Daqi is really extraordinary. β
