"Have you found out the identity of the assassin?"
Timur sat on his throne, like a high-ranking emperor. Although his voice seemed very calm, his breathing was very rapid. His heavy breathing sounded like a panting tiger lying in the forest.
The tiger, even if it is lying there lazily and snoring, who dares to ignore its existence?[]
In the huge sweat tent, everyone was trembling with fear. Countless beautiful girls in thin shirts with striking features and eunuchs with fair faces and fat bodies and no beards under their chins were all prostrate on the ground, with expressions of fear and fear on their faces.
General Ba'atul, who stood respectfully in front of Timur, tried hard to control his fear and committed suicide by taking poison from Zangfeng. His accomplices had escaped from the camp and told Emperor Timur about the current search situation.
After a moment's hesitation, he bravely reported to Khan that his friend Shi Ji suddenly lost his token, but he immediately added that he had taken the necessary remedial measures and issued the highest level of warning.
The warning signal makes it difficult for the enemy to escape even if he steals the token.
At this time, he had already discovered that his token was stolen, but he did not dare to say that if the furious Khan wanted him to die, it would only be a matter of words. Anyway, because of the loss of the token, he could
The remedial measures have been taken, and even telling the truth will not help the whole incident. He is a guard general of the Chinese army, and he has taken advantage of his position to get himself another token.
Timur is still angry. His anger is not because of being assassinated tonight. Although he is an old tiger, he has experienced more than a hundred battles in his life. He has also seen more dangerous scenes. How could he
A botched assassination was on his mind, and he was angry that this incident disturbed his mood when he was enjoying himself.
He waved his hand coldly and said: "The assassins must be found and the mastermind behind them must be dug out. However, it is not necessary to let the three armies know about this. It is really disappointing!"
"Yes! I obey!"
Atu'er felt relieved and quickly bowed to Timur and quickly retreated.
Timur took a few rapid breaths, and there was a sound of phlegm in his throat. The blond Roman princess who knelt next to the seat quickly picked up the spittoon and took two steps on her knees to move in front of him, holding the spittoon high with both hands.
Timur coughed a few more times like a bellows, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, turned to the eunuch chief Gaius and ordered: "Call Hamit to me immediately, my asthma has caused severe chest tightness again!
"
Gaius, the obese eunuch, quickly agreed and walked out with his body trembling.
At this time, at the edge of Timur's military camp, Gaibang'er led 24 dead soldiers and was trying their best to kill him.
One step ahead was Shenghe Zihuiji, but they couldn't rush out. There was an endless stream of enemies that had surrounded them.
Gaibanger fought to the death with his sword, and the wounds on his body continued to bleed. The soldiers around him fell one by one, and the number of enemies continued to increase. He was completely desperate.
In terms of layout, Timur's military camp is a three-story concentric circle structure. The core part is the army camp. This is the inner circle. Of course, this inner circle is divided into complex areas according to the distance of different arms and factions.
layout.
On the second floor of the central circle, there are gathering areas where merchants who serve the army and family members of the army gather here. There is also an army stationed on the outermost periphery. They maintain the order of this military camp-style city.
This army mainly consists of the Sabadar militia.
Timur's army was centered on Turkic and Mongolian warriors. A large number of nomadic cavalry were the most powerful force in his army, followed by troops recruited from conquered areas, Transoxanians, and Turks. People, Indians, Iranians, Khorasanians and Sistanis, Afghans, Turkmens, Azabyanis, Persians, Iraqis, Armenians, etc.
These armies all have their best tactics and tactics. Many arms together constitute Timur's army system, in addition to his Sabadar militia. The so-called militia at this time is different from the modern definition of militia. They are also the most outstanding warriors and have quite complete weapons and equipment, but they are all composed of infantry and are best at city defense and siege.
This army is stationed at the outermost perimeter, protecting the main force of their army and the traveling merchants who provide supporting services to the army. In normal times, they do not prohibit the free entry and exit of people, and their role is only equivalent to guarding the city gate. The army was responsible for maintaining order here, but when the guard order was issued, they immediately "sealed" the city gate, turning the entire military camp into an iron bucket that water could not pour into.
Gaibang'er could no longer retreat. He had made too much noise when he rushed over, and the Sabadar militia's lookout post had already seen them. If he suddenly retreated at this time, it would definitely arouse their vigilance. Go up, because the highest security order has been issued, and you will definitely be blocked, and it is absolutely impossible to leave.
At this time, Gabriel was sitting on the horse, feeling like he wanted to laugh loudly. He really wanted to laugh crazily.
It's really funny. If he wasn't eager to leave, but instead saw something wrong and immediately took off the fake military uniform and buried it in the sand, then changed back to ordinary clothes and mingled among hundreds of thousands of civilians, it would not be easy to find them. , maybe their freedom will be restricted for a few days, but there is a great chance of escape in the end, but now it is he who has taken the initiative to stretch his neck under the enemy's butcher knife.
However, although it was ridiculous, did he have a choice? He didn't know what happened in Timur's military camp, but based on the warning situation, the so-called seamless assassination had failed, so of course he had to escape as soon as possible. Inform His Highness to take action. His value is not to save himself and the twenty-four dead men, but to save His Highness.
Now, he can only bite the bullet and walk up, but he is also a soldier of the Timurid Empire. He knows the things in this army very well. Since the other party has issued the highest level of security order, he is on official business. None of the soldiers were allowed to leave. This order was issued obviously because someone had discovered that the token was missing.
If you can't get out from the front, there will be soldiers rushing out from behind, like a wolf returning like a tiger, and soldiers like them who are wandering away will definitely be subject to intensive interrogation, because the token is lost, which means that the assassin The general will pretend to be one of his own. Although the flame signal cannot accurately tell the defenders in front the number of the lost token, the soldiers who came out of the Chinese army camp to conduct an interrogation will definitely know it. At that time...
Gaibang'er had no other choice. He could only pull out his sword, like a wolf that fell into a trap, and ordered his men with red eyes: "Kill! Rush out one by one! Be sure to send the news back!" "
The combat effectiveness of the Sabadar militia is very strong. Although they are determined to die, the number of Gaibang'er is really too small. They are like a group of moths rushing into the flames without hesitation. Their struggle is in vain. The people around Gaibang'er
There are fewer and fewer people...
In the sweat tent, Dr. Hamit performed a very detailed examination on Timur and reassured him: "Dear Khan, you don't have to worry. You just drank too much wine and were too excited, so you had an asthma attack today."
It’s particularly severe. Please calm down as soon as possible after taking the medicine. Take a good rest and you’ll be fine.”
At this time, Timur was breathing even more severely, his old face was red, and he was breathing heavily. After hearing Hamit's words, Timur just made a gesture to him to take medicine quickly, and Hamit
He immediately opened the medicine box.
Because he is Timur's attending physician, he usually treats various diseases that Timur suffers from, so he is very aware of the various chronic diseases that Timur suffers from and the corresponding patent medicines.
They had all been prepared. At this time, he hurriedly took out a packet of asthma treatment powder and poured it into the cup... and added a few spoons of honey. Just after stirring evenly, Timur, who had difficulty breathing, grabbed the cup and poured the medicine into the cup.
Drink all the liquid in one gulp.
Maybe this medicine really has a wonderful effect, maybe it's a psychological effect. Timur soon felt much more comfortable. His heart no longer beat so fast, and he no longer had the feeling of desperately inhaling but having difficulty getting the air out.
The feeling of inhalation was taken into his lungs, and the tightness in his chest was relieved a lot. Timur gently stroked his chest and his face softened.
Hamit closed the medicine box and said to Timur: "Great Khan, please rest. I will sleep outside your tent tonight. If the Great Khan feels any discomfort, you can call me in at any time!"
"Um!"
Timur didn't show any imperial airs to the doctors and scholars. He nodded slightly, and Hamit picked up the burial box and left.
Gaius, the head chamberlain, rushed up, waving his hands like swatting flies, and said in a high voice: "Get out, everyone, get out, and tell the Great Khan to have a good rest. You two, quickly serve the Great Khan and go to bed!"
The two beautiful girls who were designated by Gaius to warm up the sweat tonight stayed, while the other women and chamberlains all withdrew. The spacious tent immediately became empty, and the two girls gently helped him.
After getting up Timur and undressing him, Gaius extinguished the oil lamps in the tent one by one, leaving only the light of a giant tallow candle on the table.
He was the last to go out and tiptoed to the door of the tent. When he looked back, he saw that two beautiful girls had already stripped off Emperor Tamburlaine without looking back. They helped his old body to the bed and covered him with it.
Us hurriedly put down the curtain, yawned, and went back to his tent to rest. Tonight, he also took the time to drink a lot of wine. He was so drunk that he felt sleepy...
On the horizon, there was a faint white light at this time. Because of the non-stop running, the horses were foaming at the mouth and could no longer move. If they were forced to continue walking at this time, the speed would be as slow as
Cows, and these horses will be exhausted to death.
At this time, they had come to a mountain pass, a hill, which was not very high. Because there were no residents nearby, no one went up the mountain to cut wood and firewood, so the trees grew very densely.
Saihazhi, who was said to have suffered from epilepsy, was sitting on his horse at the moment, his face turned gray and unsightly. Although he had taken the antidote in advance and induced vomiting immediately after leaving the Chinese army camp, the dose of poison he had taken was insufficient. , it’s not fatal at all, but it’s still quite painful.
There was no way, none of them could imitate an epileptic attack so vividly, and they had to hide it from so many well-travelled entertainers. In order to make the attack realistic and without any flaws, Boss Sai had no choice but to Sacrificing the ego to fulfill the greater ego, what he took was one of several poisons sent by Harry.
Chen Dong and Ye An were also very tired. They had been running non-stop for the past three hours. Their two big legs were numb and their buttocks were sore. However, they could not rest at this time. After everyone arrived at the mountain pass, Chen Dong Dong immediately drove his horse into the valley.
In the early morning valley, the first ray of sunlight had not yet hit and it was still dark. Chen Dong raised his head and let out a wolf howl. The wolf's howl echoed in the valley for a long time. A figure suddenly appeared in a dense forest. A few horses came towards him quickly. They met up in two places... After whispering a few words quickly, they drove out of the valley together. The person leading the horses was clearly Liu Yujue.
There was no time to be polite when they met, Xia Xun immediately ordered: "Change horses!"
Everyone dismounted one after another, their legs were fluttering and their heads were dizzy, just like a small boat riding the wind and waves, and they were stepping on the deck of the small boat.
Long-distance raids are common, but even people who have lived on horseback since childhood cannot run as fast as they do in so-called long-distance raids. No matter what kind of raid, the combat effectiveness of man and horse must be maintained. This It was destined to be impossible to run at sprinting speed, but they ran at sprinting speed for nearly three hours. Although the horses were exhausted, they were almost torn apart.
After getting used to it for a while, they began to prepare nervously. They took off all their black shirts and stuffed them into the dense bushes. They put on their ordinary traveling attire in the Western Regions and wore saddles on their horses. Take them all off and put them on the horses that are full of energy and energy, and then slap them down to scatter the tired horses.
Then everyone got on their horses and galloped away like a gust of wind...
A red cloud on the horizon became more and more colorful and brighter. Suddenly, it seemed that the sun jumped out of the clouds with all its strength... and a brilliant sunbeam suddenly spread all over the earth.
On the surface of Yaoshashui (now the Syr Darya River), there are thousands of golden snakes, twisting happily.
The sound of rushing water sent a small boat down the waves.
The river was so fast that there was almost no need to paddle. The boat rushed down the waves at the fastest speed. It was enough to control the stern rudder to prevent the boat from spinning or hitting the rocks.
A Dong and Ye An are both from Jiangnan water towns. They are not only good at water, but also good at boating. At this time, they are taking turns controlling the stern rudder. It doesn't take much effort to steer the rudder, but they are really exhausted, so they have to take turns operating it. .Others lay sprawled in the cabin, including Siren and Jeanne.
They were really too tired, their bodies were falling apart, and they really couldn't care less about their appearance. Fortunately, they had their feet facing the bow of the boat. There were only their man and the little girl Tang Sai'er on the bow, so their posture was unsightly. , and no one else can see it.
Kecha's Sehazhi was originally a very strong and healthy man, but at this moment he was lying on the boat, like a woman who had been raped a hundred times, with a sallow complexion and panting.
The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind. This old guy, Sai Hazhi, got seasick!
Apart from Chen Dong and Ye An at the stern of the boat, the only one still sitting was Xia Xun.
Xia Xun was also very tired, but he was so excited that he couldn't lie down. He had to sit on the bow of the boat, facing the wind and watching the waves, so that he could calm down.
"Daddy, my butt is split into eight pieces and numb..."
Tang Saier retorted a little and acted pitifully towards Xia Xun. Xia Xun laughed and said, "Come here, godfather, give me a rub!"
His big hands covered his elastic and smooth buttocks, and they felt good. Xia Xun kneaded them like dough. Tang Saier narrowed his eyes, groaned comfortably, and lay on his arms. Inside, she fell asleep after a while. She hadn't closed her eyes that night. She was galloping, exhausted, really exhausted.
"My lord, have we...succeeded? If not, my sin will have been in vain!"
Sehazhi had nothing left to vomit. He leaned over the side of the boat and retched for a while. Suddenly a wave came and hit him in the face. His face was covered with water. He felt much more awake and he didn't even bother to wipe his face. , turned over lazily, lay back in the cabin, and weakly asked Xia Xun.
Everyone only knows one part of the entire plan. The only ones who know the entire plan are Xia Xun and Liu Yujue. So until now, they still don’t know the purpose of what they did, and they don’t know much about it either. What have others done? No wonder we have this question.
Xia Xun's hand was still on Tang Sai'er's buttocks, but he had changed from kneading to patting. He gently patted Tang Sai'er's buttocks and looked ahead with a smile. There were thousands of golden snakes on the wide water. The road was constantly being crushed by the bow of the ship to the bottom of the ship, and there were still countless twisted golden snakes in front of it. On both sides of the bank were reeds and weeds as tall as a person. As the ship passed by, from time to time, wild ducks and other birds flew from the grass. The potential for rebirth is unlimited.
Xia Xun said slowly: "My plan started when I discovered Harry Sultan's current predicament..."
Xia Xun knew about the fierce struggles within the Timur Empire from the beginning. He knew these things as early as when he was on his way to the Western Regions to collect political, military, and economic information about the Timur Empire. He initially wanted to use this to fight against the Timur Empire. Harry Sultan reached an agreement and the two sides cooperated on the battlefield. Shaharul, the rival of Fonhari, attacked the left army, which not only helped Harry Sultan but also achieved the goal of annihilating the enemy.
Of course, to achieve this cooperation, the prerequisite is that Harry Sultan must return him safely to Xiliang.
But unexpectedly, the fourth prince Shaharu and the emperor's grandson Pi Xin Ma Heima took the lead and made suggestions to Timur to frame Harry Sultan for not supporting the army and having evil intentions. Harry Sultan did not dare to send troops without permission. In fact, it was because of him The genius cousin learned from the past, he didn't want to march into the army and be slandered, but he didn't expect to be cautious and still be slandered, and he was about to be stripped of his military power.
