Chapter 21 The Falcon

March 6th. The small river hills beside the sunflower. Everything seems very quiet.

It is already the season of March fireworks, and even in this wilderness, there are some unknown wild flowers blooming brightly. Accompanied by the gurgling sound of the water, a slight shaking suddenly in the grass, and a pair of eyes popped out, and soon covered by the grass again.

Several figures crawled near the river bank.

"Liu Shenzuo, look across the river. That person has been staying by the river for a while."

The person who spoke was Zhang Wuzhu. He was responsible for the investigation of the ambush circle. Beside him were Liu Yu and Qi Fang who came from the back valley, and two other soldiers responsible for the investigation. Their bodies were covered with grass, hundreds of steps away from the other side of the river. The thatch on the river bank was waist-deep, so it was difficult to detect when hiding in it.

Liu Yu also rushed over after receiving the news. The entire ambush circle was suspended by the intrusion of an uninvited guest on the other side of the river. All the civilians and local heroes hid in the trench under the thatch, waiting for further instructions.

Unfortunately, there was no telescope. The two sides were about 300 steps apart, with a river more than a hundred steps wide. Liu Yu couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person who was unknown to the other side. He could only see him wearing civilian clothes, holding a horse, as if playing by the river, and as if testing the depth of the water. His waist was muttering, as if he was a weapon.

"Liu Shenzuo, do you want to rush forward and take him down and review it clearly?" Zhang Wuzhu asked in a low voice.

Liu Yu's eyes were not far from the other side of the river, and he shook his head slightly and said, "If it was really a detective of the Iron Wolf Guard, he found out that he jumped onto the horse, it would be difficult to chase him."

Only wait.

Time passed by minute by minute. The person on the other side stood up and looked around, but he didn't seem to find hundreds or thousands of people hiding in the grass hundreds of steps across the river.

"It's a Turkic person." Liu Yu suddenly said nervously.

"Oh?" Qi Fang asked in surprise, "How is Liu Shenzuo sure?"

Liu Yu said: "Looking at the man's clothes, he was wearing Hanfu, but left-sided lapel. Only Hu people would get used to wearing this. He lowered his head to drink water and held water with one hand and pressed his other hand on his waist. There must be weapons hidden around his waist. If he was just an ordinary hunter, he would not be so alert."

Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu both were amazed at Liu Yu's observation, Qi Fang said, "What should I do? It's so far apart that I can't shoot the arrow. He discovered that the river bank is strange, this..."

"Shh!" Liu Yu suddenly made a gesture of silence because he noticed that the Turkic whistle opposite seemed to have noticed something unusual, just like a foraging eagle, listening carefully to the sounds in the distance.

Sure enough, a flying cavalry rushed from the northeast, on this side of the river. The one rider was riding a horse in armor, constantly whipping the horse, as if he was sending emergency war receipts. The flying cavalry went from far to near, and he didn't notice any uninvited guests on the other side of the river bank.

The Turkic whistle probe took out the weapon at his waist, not a knife, but a bow and arrow. He immediately arched the arrow and pointed the arrow at the female rider who was gradually approaching.

"It's too far, there's no way to notify." Zhang Wuzhu was a little nervous. This road was logically not the route of the frontline war reports. The sudden appearance of female riders may disrupt their deployment.

"Swish!"

The sharp and sharp sound of breaking through the air, even though the Turkic whistle was more than 200 steps away from the female rider, it actually hit the female rider in the chest with an arrow. The exquisiteness of his archery is amazing.

But after all, the distance is too far. Although the arrow is accurate, it loses its strength. The arrow just shot into the female rider's chest and did not penetrate it. However, the female rider still fell straight from the horse and landed heavily on the grass.

"Bang!"

The heavy muffled sound, the female rider was shot in the chest without dying, and she struggled in pain on the ground. The female rider was only a hundred steps away from the grass where Liu Yu was hiding, and everything fell clearly in his eyes. But, he could only hide in the grass and could not make any warning or rescue.

The Turkish whistle detective opposite was full of complacent intentions, and led the horse and flowed across the river step by step, as if he wanted to make a knife for the female rider to complete the mission of a whistle detective.

As the Turkic whistle stud stepped onto this bank of the river and approached the female rider, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, who were beside Liu Yu, all raised their bows and arrows.

"What's the point?" Liu Yu looked at the two of them.

Sweat beads as big as beans appeared on Qi Fang's face. After all, the enemy's siege was only a hundred steps away from the front line. If he didn't take action, he would be discovered and he would be likely to be devastated.

"It's hard to say, you have to succeed in one blow...try it."

Qi Fang glanced at Zhang Wuzhu, and Zhang Wuzhu seemed to dare not promise his archery skills.

Liu Yu said: "I didn't have time to wait for him to get closer, I count three, two, and one, and you can shoot the arrows together. After the arrows are released, you will rush forward, and you will die, not live or die. Three... two... one..."

Just before the Turkish whistle detective was about to arrive in the dying female rider, two sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the grass. The Turkish whistle detective was worthy of being the elite of Turkic cavalry. He could react in such a situation. He was going to draw his sword at the moment, but because the distance was too short, two sharp arrows penetrated straight into his abdomen.

Several people covered in green rushed out of the grass. When they arrived in front of the Turkish whistle, the Turkish whistle had already fallen to the ground and died with a wide open pupil.

"Diet." Liu Yu heard the man's heartbeat, took a breath, and turned to look at the female rider who was no longer moving, "Look at if there is any rescue there?"

Several people surrounded him. Although the female rider was seriously injured, the arrow did not shoot the center of the body, but was in shock for a while. When Liu Yu saw this woman, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and said, "It turned out to be her." It was the little woman who had seen outside Chang'an City who asked him for painting and said that he wanted to beat Turkic men for the man.

"Does Liu Shanzuo recognize her?" Qi Fang looked at Liu Yu.

"It's the daughter army, maybe it's General Xu's personal follower, and the documents behind her should also be emergency military information."

Qi Fang first took down the revenge behind the female rider. There was a wooden box inside, with seals and seals, both of which were the seals of the daughter army. Liu Yu remembered the scene outside Chang'an City that day. The female rider should be the person of the daughter army commander, and she personally delivered the letter, which shows the weight of the letter. He was going to tear open the contents of the document inside.

"Liu Shenzuo, this is not......" Qi Fang reminded.

"We are in a hurry to follow the power, not to mention that the Turkic scout was clearly opened first, so we just snatched it back."

Liu Yu had already opened the wooden box and took out the letter inside. It was a letter written by Xu Xuanzhu, the commander of the daughter army, to Liu Zhao, the guard of Tongguan. Xu Xuanzhu had already had a premonition that the Turkic cavalry would choose a route to retreat, and wanted Liu Zhao to divide some of the cavalry into encirclement from the flanks. The plan was good, but with Liu Yu's understanding of his father, Liu Zhao was extremely cautious and would definitely not take the risk of winning.

"Find a wooden board to carry her back and treat her injuries." Liu Yu put the letter back into the wooden box and looked at the direction of Tongguan. Now the line on Tongguan has been completely blocked by the Turkic cavalry, otherwise the female rider would not have to go around a big circle and try to send the new one to Tongguan. Judging from the letter, the Turkic cavalry had already shown signs of retreating, and within two days, this place might become a battlefield.

"Start up construction and do a good job of precautions. You must not relax at night."

…………

Liu Yu was still filling his "firecrackers" in the valley, and he heard the news that the female rider had woken up. It was almost dusk at this time, and Liu Yu rushed into the temporary hut. The female rider was full of energy at this time, but her lips were dry and white. She was scolding the woman who bandaged her in the room.

"Hey, girl, do you think I'm good at drawing it? Come and draw another one?" Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand, letting the woman go out, leaving only Qi Fang behind.

"Is it you?" The female rider looked unhappy and looked at Liu Yu up and down, "Say! Did your man secretly shoot a cold arrow just now?"

"The one who shot the arrow at you was a Turkic man. We have been killed by us, and the body is outside." Liu Yu put a sabre beside the bed, "This is his sabre, you can tell if you look at it."

"It's really a knife used by the Turks." The female rider looked worried, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Yu pretended to be mysterious and said, "You said we are here to suppress bandits, and by the way, we will draw the surrounding landscapes."

"Bandit suppression?" The female rider frowned and looked outside the house. People were everywhere, moving wood, and some of them sent goods to the ambush circle. "Is there anyone like you who suppressed bandits like me? Where is my emergency military letter? Give me another horse, I want...ah..."

The female rider grinned in pain.

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. When this girl saw her twice, she looked like she was pretending to be powerful. She was a bit heroic, but also a bit bad temper that made her temperament... She also liked to show off her strength.

"Miss, do you think you are a god? It would be great if you can save your life after being injured so seriously. It's only been half a day, and you want to ride a horse and go on a long journey. I believe you will fall off the horse and die halfway through the road."

The female rider gritted her teeth and said, "No...you don't care. And...I...I'm not a little girl. I am..."
