West of Chang'an City, under the Golden Light Gate.

Li Xuan wore a silver armor, stood in front of the table, carefully flipped through the records of leaving the city, and the Jin Wuwei was on guard around him.

Behind him, the city gate Ling looked at Li Xuan a little nervously, as if he was afraid that Li Xuan would really find something from this.

On the other side of the city, those who came in from outside the city were not hindered in the slightest, but those who wanted to go out were all stopped.

"You're a little nervous." Li Xuan's cold voice directly reached the ears of the city gate order.

Although the city gate commander smiled bitterly, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Back to the prince, after the city gate was opened today, Xia Guan has been carefully checking everyone who has entered and exited the Golden Light Gate, and there is no omission."

"Oh, really?" Li Xuan's voice rose slightly, he raised his head, looked at the city gate order with a slightly surprised gaze, and then asked, "That king asked you, after the city gate was opened today, how many horsemen on horseback entered and exited the Jinguang Gate."

The city gate commander thought for a moment, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Returning to the prince, from the beginning of the city gate to the present, there are a total of thirty-four lines, and a total of fifty-two people have ridden in and out of the Jinguang Gate."

"So how many lines are there in the team of more than two people, and where did they go?" Li Xuan's questions were non-stop, and the questions were extremely direct.

The city gate order didn't know why, but at this time, his heart suddenly tightened.

After listening to Li Xuan's question, the city gate commander thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "There are about nine people in total, these people, there are Qianniuwei, Jin Wuwei, and the envoy of the military department, the children of everyone who went out, and the four caravans."

Li Xuan immediately turned his head to look at Qin Jun and said in a deep voice, "Check it out immediately."

"Whoa!" Qin Jun immediately turned around and led the people towards the city, he already roughly understood what kind of investigation ideas Li Xuan had.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at Cui Ding solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send the information of the nine teams just now to the nearby prefectures, counties, villages and towns, immediately verify the location of everyone, the caravan will be detained, and everyone will order them to return to the city, Jin Wuwei, Qianniuwei, the military department herald, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, order them to immediately send their information back for verification, but if there are those who do not obey, arrest immediately, and those who resist, kill!"

"Obey!" Cui Ding immediately became excited and turned around to make arrangements.

Since the king of Nanchang said so, Cui Ding also felt that those people must be among the nine teams.

As long as you find someone here, you will be able to make meritorious contributions again immediately.

"But the king has his eye on the horses?" The city gate order suddenly replied as if he didn't understand.

Li Xuan turned around violently and stared at the city gate order in great surprise: "The commander remembered something."

The city gate commander hesitated a little, and said with some uncertainty: "There was a team of Jin Wuwei who went out of the city before, and they took the token of the right Jin Wuwei, but the horse they rode seemed to be the horse of the military department?"

"Where did you go?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward with a blazing gaze.

The city gate order thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I have gone to Zhongnan Mountain."

"Cui Ding! Get on board now!" Li Xuan beckoned to Cui Ding, who was giving orders in the distance, and at the same time looked at the city gate order and said, "After Captain Qin came back, he immediately let him chase after the horse's hooves."

"Whoa!" The city gate order was immediately surrendered.

Seeing that Cui Ding had returned, Li Xuan immediately turned on his horse, and at the same time said to the city gate order: "What is your name, if you can find the fugitive, this king will remember your first credit."

"Xiaguan City Gate Ling Shi Wang Xing." Before Wang Xing's words were finished, the horse's hooves in front of him had already sounded.

Looking at Li Xuan and his party who rushed out of the city gate, Wang Xing's heart was both excited and apprehensive.

If he can really take the first credit, then he will be able to take a big step forward.

The roaring sound of horses' hooves shattered the calm of the stream, and snowflakes stood up.

A whole group of Jinwuwei cavalry, following behind Li Xuan, rushed across the stream and galloped in the direction of Gyeongju.

This is not the road to Nanshan at all.

Li Xuan didn't believe that the Turks would make a detour to Zhongnan Mountain, and with the temperament of the Turks, they couldn't wait to fly back to the steppe immediately

, how is it possible to take a detour?

Therefore, after Li Xuan left Chang'an, without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards the direction of Gyeongju in the north.

The Jinwuwei soldiers behind him did not have the slightest doubt at all.

These people are all Jinwuwei soldiers who fought with Li Xuan in Yunshao Courtyard at the beginning, and they followed Li Xuan to destroy Yunshao Courtyard last time, those who received money received money, and those who recorded their merits recorded their merits, and now they are keeping up with Li Xuan again, they naturally will not hesitate at all.

Qianniuwei's group has given them the best example, following the king of Nanchang, they have never suffered losses.

A carrier pigeon flew down from the sky and finally landed on Li Xuan's shoulder.

Li Xuan's fingers tapped, and a small note was already unfolding in front of his eyes.

Immediately, Li Xuan's voice sounded in the ears of the Jin Wuwei soldiers who were rushing wildly: "It has been confirmed that except for the Jin Wuwei, the information of all the other people has returned to Chang'an, and there is a total of thirteen Jin Wuwei, since they left Chang'an, there has been no information return, but there is a group of thirteen military heralds, along the sentence, Zhengning, straight to Huachi County."

Hearing Li Xuan's voice, the faces of everyone present burst with joy.

Although the Turks were smart enough to change their clothes when they left Chang'an City, they couldn't change the war horses under their hips.

Some of them were caught on track.

Juyi, Jeongnyeong, Hwachi, are all in Gyeongju.

At the foot of the Qinling Mountains, the hills are undulating, and the speed of the horses is not fast, and it is very likely that they will intercept those people.

"When they arrive in Ningxian, they immediately change horses and turn eastward, and this king will stop them completely in Heshui." Li Xuan's voice was extremely cold and solemn.

The Jin Wuwei of the group all responded in a muffled voice, and the sound of horses' hooves was even more rapid, and they rushed towards Ningxian.

Above their heads, a goshawk had already taken the lead in the direction of Heshui.

In the endless hills and dense forests, it is not easy to find a team of centaurs, but this team of centaurs is traveling northward at a rapid speed, rushing out of the hills from time to time, and then submerging into the jungle farther away, in the eyes of the goshawk in the sky, it is very dazzling.

The horse is still the horse of the military department, but the knight on the horse has changed into the costume of the right thousand cow guard.

It stands to reason that if their group of people took the right path, no one would dare to stop them, but they chose to take this path.

Safety is safe, but the speed has also been slowed down, but the group did not care at all, and still moved forward steadily.

Ahead, a long river suddenly blocked their way, and the group immediately dismounted to rest.

The horses drank water and ate grass, and the knights on the horses drank the wine in the wine bags, chewed the beef jerky they carried with them, and lay on the ground to rest quickly and recover their strength.

At the front of the crowd, a fifty-year-old man with a scruffy beard, dressed in black brocade, with a high nose and deep eyes, looked around sharply.

The woman on the side hurriedly handed over the wine bag, and the old man took several sips of it.

When he saw the horses that had finished drinking, he cried out in a low voice, "Proceed, cross the river."

A few hundred meters above the creek, there is a wooden bridge that can be accessed.

The group walked very neatly towards the bridge upstream, as if they were extremely familiar with the road of this line.

Soon, they passed through hills and rivers, and finally arrived at the south bank of the Gu River at dusk.

At sunset, light and shadow are like swords.

In the dense forest, a crisp voice sounded: "Ada, those people in the imperial court shouldn't be able to catch up with us now, right?"

"Duo'er, don't underestimate anyone, especially Ming Chongyan, after last night's defeat, he will definitely be even more crazy, so if we don't reach the Wuding River, we won't be really safe." Ashina Gana sat in the shade of a tree.

Now this is the Guhe River, and there is still a long way to go from the Wuding River.

"I don't know what's going on over there." After a slight pause, Ashinaduo looked at his father and asked, "Ada, are we really going to war with the Tang Dynasty?"

"It's not that we want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty

They won't let us go." Ashina Gana coughed lightly twice, and then said, "In fact, as long as the Khanate is rebuilt, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not let us go, and it will definitely kill us.

Ashina Gana clenched his fists and looked determined, but with a gentle word, he had clearly shown the bloody wind of the next few years in front of people.

Ashina Duo was still a little uneasy, and then added, "Ada, let's do it with Tubo, right?"

"No, let Tubo move first, let them fight with Datang first, as long as Tubo is not destroyed by Datang in this battle, then we have a chance to defeat Datang." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ashinagana's eyes, Tubo wanted to use the Turks, why didn't the Turks use the Turks.

The grandson of this Jieli Khan, after leaving Chang'an, finally showed a heroic posture.

Looking at Ashina Gana's confident face, Ashinaduo became more and more uneasy.

When I was in Chang'an, I didn't feel anything, but now that I have left Chang'an, I suddenly remembered that I wanted to go against the powerful Tang Dynasty, and Ashina felt a sense of unease in my heart inexplicably.

"Let's go, we're ready to go back to the prairie." Ashina Gana stood up slowly, and at this moment, a sound of eagle crying suddenly came from high in the sky, and then fell, and then fell directly on Ashina Gana's shoulder.

"Here we are." A flash of joy flashed in Ashna Gana's eyes, and immediately, a note had been taken from the goshawk's leg.

After just one glance, Gana handed the note to his daughter Ashina Yun, and said proudly, "Your cousin, they have reached the other side."

"They're really coming." There was a hint of horror in Ashinayun's eyes.

A few months ago, the people of the steppe tribe had visited Ashina Gana, and there had been some exchange between the two sides about today's events.

The steppe tribes were desperate to re-establish the Turkic Khanate, and they were desperate for the descendants of Jieli Khan to return and lead them again.

The attitude of the grassland tribe is the real reason why the Ashina clan defected to the Tang Dynasty.

Without the support of the grassland tribes, who would give up the glory and wealth of Chang'an just because of the promise of the Tibetans.

But the ambition of unifying the khanate and devouring the Central Plains made every Turkic can't help but jump stupidly.

"That man, he actually delivered the letter to the grasslands." A flush immediately appeared on Ashinayun's face.

Although they had communicated with the steppe tribes, the time of defection was not long ago, and it was not certain whether the steppe tribes would be able to come in time, but now they came.

On the opposite bank, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and familiar felt hats and scimitars appeared on the opposite bank.

It is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an.

At this moment, high in the sky overhead, an unfamiliar goshawk was gently circling.

Hold it all in your eyes.
