Volume 2 Sword Battle Chapter 85 Encountering the Dead in the Depths of the Desert
Ye Han rode the black Pegasus Lightning, reducing the distance that would have taken a day by half, and when night fell again, Ye Han and Yan Yan had already arrived in the range of Ulunbar, the capital of Warat.
It is a unique city, where the houses are made up of Mongolian tents, rather than Central Plains brick or shingle buildings. After all, this is the capital of Warat, and the patrolling Warat soldiers have gone through wave after wave.
Ye Han and Yan Yan didn't dare to approach, but stood on a small hill twenty miles away from Dadu, taking in the entire situation in Dadu. Because Warat was more wary of Da Ming's spies, Ye Han and Yan Yan showed up at all. This made Ye Han very embarrassed, he didn't go deep into the capital, how to find out the news, how to rescue the Emperor Zhu Qizhen?
There are not only strong armies in the capital of the tile spurs, but also countless martial arts masters. Ye Han was really at a loss.
It was night, the night was as dark as ink, Ye Han settled Yan Yan down, changed into night clothes and prepared to explore the capital.
Ye Han took the "Ghost Shadow Trail" and disappeared into the darkness like a ghost. The night in the desert was so silent that the whole world seemed to be asleep, pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Ye Han was not familiar with the terrain again, so he wandered around for a while, but found nothing, so he could only return regretfully.
He was walking outside the capital of Warat, when he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him, could it be that someone was chasing him. Ye Han was a little puzzled, shouldn't he be! He didn't do anything, how could he be discovered by the Wara Martial Arts master?
Ye Han didn't dare to be careless, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and slowly drew out the long sword, slashing towards his back. A resonance of gold and iron carried bursts of sparks, especially in the silence of the night. The lights in the capital of Warat were lit up one after another, and the barking of dogs was endless, which made Ye Han frightened for a while, and it was troublesome to attract the army of tile thorns.
Ye Han sped up his sword and must finish off the enemy in the darkness before the Warat army appeared.
"Lord Ye Meng, it's me!" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in the darkness, Ye Han stopped his attack and said happily: "Li Yun......"
"yes, it's me. The man in the dark walked towards Ye Han, and there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Ye Han knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, and said to Li Yun: "Let's get out of here first." ”
Ye Han took the lead and ran towards the small mountain bag where Yan Yan was, no matter how fast Ye Han sped up, Li Yun followed closely behind.
Ye Han thought to himself: "Divine thief Li Yun's light skills, sure enough, there are two brushes. "It is indistinguishable in the dark, Li Yun seems to have a humanoid object on his body, but he can still keep up with Ye Han, who has one of the five major light skills of the rivers and lakes, "Ghost Shadow Trace", which shows that Li Yun's light skills are clever.
The two galloped away like a gust of wind into the distance, and the Warat army did not even touch their shadows, wandered around for a while, and then collected their troops and went back.
Ye Han came to the small mountain bag where Yan Yan was, a simple tent that could fit two people in. Ye Han woke up Yan Yan, the three of them sat in the tent, Ye Han said, "Brother Li, are you alone, haven't you met anyone else?"
Li Yun's clothes were torn and dirty, the edges were not repaired, his beard was all over his face, and there was an unpleasant smell on his body. They were scattered by the army of Warat, and they all experienced countless lives and deaths before they escaped, and there was nothing strange about their clothes being torn and dirty on their bodies. Ye Han and Yan Yan also did not show any disgusted expressions.
Li Yun took the water handed over by Yan Yan and drank two sips and said, "I didn't see them, tomorrow I will go and put the markers around, they should come over when they see it." Ye Han nodded, the mark was the symbol they agreed on before they set off, and it was directly piled up with stones to guide the direction.
Ye Han asked again, "Brother Li, what were you carrying just now?" ”
Li Yun hurriedly ran out, dragged the humanoid cargo into the tent, and said, "I came half a day earlier than you, and I inquired, but there is no useful news. Later, when I saw this Central Plains man, maybe he could use it, he arrested him. ”
Ye Han and Yan Yan looked at the person who was arrested by Li Yun, this was a young man, about the same age as Ye Han, his face was pale, and he was obviously cold.
"Wake up. Li Yun patted the young man's face and shouted.
"Hmm. The young man slowly opened his eyes and saw several people he didn't know, and suddenly showed a panicked voice.
"What are you ..... doing......" Although he tried to back away, the tent space was limited, and there was room for it.
Ye Han smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we're not bad people, we just want to ask you some questions." ”
"I don't know what you're going to ask. The young man seemed frightened, and shook his head vigorously.
"If you move again, I'll kill you. Li Yun was not so polite, and threatened on the side.
When the young man heard Li Yun say this, he didn't dare to move anymore. Ye Han asked, "Where are you from, how did you end up here?" ”
After the young man was frightened by Li Yun, he didn't dare to be verbose, and replied: "My family is in Xi'an Mansion, participated in the Battle of Tumubao, and became a prisoner. Ye Han and the others nodded, this is the capital of Warat, and the men from the Central Plains can only be captives and the like.
Ye Han asked again, "What's your name!"
"Yao Gen. The young man said.
"Ahh Ye Han grabbed the young man's arms excitedly and shook them. The young man was taken aback by Ye Han's actions.
Ye Han realized that he was out of shape, and retreated back and said, "I was rescued by Uncle Yao and Sister-in-law Liang in Xi'an Mansion, and I heard them talk about you. They've been waiting for you to come back?"
"Really, you didn't lie to me. The young man also became excited when he heard Ye Han say this.
Ye Han said: "What did I lie to you." They loved me like their child, and I treated them like my family. ”
"They're fine!" Yao Gen looked up at Ye Han and said.
Ye Han said: "They are all in good health, but they miss you a little." ”
Yao Gen suddenly lowered his head and said, "It's good that they're in good health." ”
Ye Han knew that Yao Gen's life as a prisoner of Warat was not easy, and he must have suffered countless hardships to survive. But they became captives, and it was almost impossible to return to their homeland.
Ye Han understood his suffering and did not ask any more questions. After a while, Yao Gen calmed down, looked up and said, "Whatever you want to ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”
Ye Han was overjoyed and said: "This time we went deep into the desert to rescue Emperor Zhu Qizhen, but because we were not familiar with life, we couldn't find out the news, do you have news of him." ”
Yao Gen heard Ye Han ask about Zhu Qizhen's face instantly became gloomy, and he scolded angrily: "It's all this dog emperor, but it has made us miserable." What else do you save him, that he may be left to fend for himself? ”
Zhu Qizhen failed in the battle against Wara, was captured, countless soldiers were captured, and there was no longer any freedom, how could they not hate. Ye Han also understood Yao Gen's mood, but he still said: "Zhu Qizhen failed and was captured, it is indeed his own fault, listening to the slander of the eunuchs, he really deserves it, but after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been in Wara and he doesn't look good, it's too funny, and you think that we have no one in the Ming Dynasty?"
Yao Gen pondered for a moment and then said: "Warat Khan also wants to make a fortune on Zhu Qizhen first, but the guard is strict, and it is too difficult to save him." ”
Ye Han heard Yao Gen's tone because he knew Zhu Qizhen's whereabouts, and he was immediately overjoyed, and asked, "Where is he?" ”
Yao Gen glanced at Ye Han and said, "Since your parents treat you as a child, you are my brother, I will make an exception to tell you." When others come, I won't say anything even if I die. I don't want Zhu Qizhen to return to the Central Plains to be happy again. ”
This time, Zhu Qizhen did such a thing, even if he can return to the Central Plains, he may not be able to step on the throne again, and the mistake he made is too big.
Yao Gen said again: "Wara is also a Khan with great ambitions, after capturing Zhu Qizhen, he wanted to learn from the ancients 'coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and led all the troops of Warat to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty made preparations in an instant, and supported Zhu Qizhen's brother Zhu Qiyu to the throne, so that the Ming Dynasty did not collapse, but defeated Warat fiercely.
After Yexian Khan was defeated, he was very angry and was about to kill Zhu Qizhen, but was dissuaded by Yexian's younger brother Boyan. He thinks Zhu Qizhen is still valuable. was also angry at first, so he sent Zhu Qizhen to Suli Iron Mine to open a mine. ”
"Where is the Suli Iron Mine?" Ye Han hurriedly asked.
Yao Gen said: "Suli Iron Mine is the largest iron ore mine in Warat, located in the capital of Warat, thirty miles, on Kusubo. The terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was only one way to enter the mine, which was to take a boat from Kusupo. ”
When Ye Han heard that Yao Gen said it in such detail, he was immediately overjoyed, as long as he knew where Zhu Qizhen was, he would do it.
"Brother Gen, what are your plans, do you want to stay in Warat for the rest of your life. Ye Han asked.
Yao Gen sighed and said, "What else should we do? With such a big desert, it is impossible for us to get out. ”
Ye Han thought for a while and said, "If you want, I can take you back." ”
Yao Gen shook his head and said, "It's very dangerous for you to go here, and if I go with you, it will drag you back." ”
Ye Han thought about it, so he could only give up and let Yao Gen return to Warat Dadu by himself tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Yao Gen left the small hill where Ye Han was alone and went back to Waratdadu. When he left, he asked Ye Han to take care of his parents, and even knelt down to Ye Han.
Ye Han also sighed, and had the heart to take Yao Gen back, but he was powerless. Their rescue of Zhu Qi Town will definitely alarm the Warat army. Yao Gen is an ordinary person, he can't take care of it at all.
Ye Han still told Yao Gen about the gathering place of wild horses, hoping that he could follow him back to the Central Plains. Although it is very difficult, you have to try it to find out.
The thief Li Yun went out early to set up the signal, and then waited for the arrival of Yin Yanqing, Shui Weihan, and Liu Xingyu.
At noon, Yan Qingfeng came to the small hillside where Ye Han was, followed by the slight cold water, and Liu Xingyu came in the evening. Yang Kai, the master of the Divine Sword Sect, and his disciples never appeared, and Ye Han was sad for a while, knowing that they must be more than lucky.
After Ye Han discussed the news provided by Yao Gen with a few people, he was ready to immediately set off for the Suli Iron Mine to carry out rescue.
