"Liu Ziqiu? Where is Liu Ziqiu!" Tuoba Mumi woke up in a cold sweat.
But Luo Weimu's voice came from outside the house: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
He thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. Tuoba Muya wanted so much to unify the eight parties and become the master of the Western Sea. Unknowingly, he subconsciously regarded Liu Ziqiu as a powerful opponent.
However, it was true that Luo Weimu was asking for a meeting outside. Tuoba Mumi calmed down, concealed his panic, and then said: "Come in!"
When Luo Weimu opened the door, he saw a jade-like lotus-root arm exposed under the blanket on Tuoba Mumi. He couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, I just got the news. Mengwu Zha and Jin Bo each brought their own clothes."
A group of people went after Liu Ziqiu."
"Ah! When did this happen?" Tuoba Mumi suddenly sat up, his beautiful body was spread out under the blanket, and he was in a happy mood.
The Persian girl lying in Tuoba Mumi's arms screamed "Ah" and shrank into a ball subconsciously. This Persian girl was acquired by Tuoba Mumi from a businessman from the Western Regions at the cost of four green horses.
In exchange, she had big breasts and round hips, which made her very popular with him. But Luo Weimu was not only a tribal elder, Tuoba Mumi's confidant, but also Tuoba Mumi's best playmate when he was a child. Even if this Persian
If the girl gave it to Luo Weimu, Tuoba Mumi would not hesitate, let alone just take a look.
Of course, Lai Luo Weimu didn't have a hobby of spying on the patriarch's concubine, but this scene was a bit embarrassing. He had to look up at the roof and replied: "They should have started taking action after the wedding yesterday."
"What's the result?" This is what Tuoba Mumi is most concerned about. At this moment, his mood is both excited and nervous, which is extremely contradictory.
After Liu Ziqiu's death, the three-year contract was terminated, and he could once again discuss marriage with Xi Feng Ye Lilan and fulfill his long-cherished wish to unify the eight branches of the party. However, the appearance of Jin Bo showed that Murong Fuyun had made a comeback. In the West Sea
In this land, the only one who can compete with Murong Fuyun is Liu Ziqiu. If Liu Ziqiu dies, this place will be ruled by the Xianbei people again. Even if he can unify the eight parties, he can only continue to live among the Xianbei people.
underneath the shadow.
"We haven't received any news about this yet." Of course Luo Weimu didn't know what Tuoba Mumi was thinking, but he knew that there was a woman in the room, so he hesitated and said, "However, I still have
An idea.”
Tuoba Mumi understood what Lai Luo Weimu meant, and unceremoniously slapped away the pink arm that was wrapped around his body like an octopus, put on his clothes and got out of bed, nodded and said: "Let's go there.
Go aside."
After all, it is the patriarch’s courtyard. It is not only spacious enough, but also has a secret room dedicated to discussing matters. There are also trusted guards guarding the outside. Even Tuoba Qianyu can’t get in. Then Luo Weimu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Ziqiu is here."
He is a real tiger. Your Majesty should not give up such an opportunity!"
Speaking of this, Luo Weimu made a slashing gesture.
Tuoba Mumi pondered for a moment and asked: "You mean to ask me to send people to catch up, is it still too late now?"
"They left not too early yesterday. According to the distance, they would definitely not be able to reach Fuqi City before dark, and they should spend the night at a tribe on the way." Regarding Weiding City, Luo Weimu is still used to using it.
"No matter how powerful Liu Ziqiu is, he has only a dozen people around him. How can he withstand the pursuit of thousands of elite soldiers? Even if he can escape, he will definitely be covered with bruises. If he is allowed to escape back to Fuqi City, we will try to deal with him in the future."
, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
"If Mongwuzha and Jinbo have succeeded, wouldn't their trip have been in vain?" Tuoba Mumi was still a little unsure.
Lai Luo Weimu smiled and said: "How could you run away in vain? The prince did not participate in the battle of Chewo Zhenshan last time. What would Murong Fuyun think? The prince can take this opportunity to show his loyalty and dispel his doubts first, and then
Figure it out slowly!"
Based on this analysis, sending people to hunt down Liu Ziqiu was indeed beneficial and had no disadvantages. Tuoba Mumi finally made up his mind: "Send the order and gather people!"
The shrill horn sound echoed over the village, and the sleeping young men woke up one after another. Tuoba Yuanju also opened his eyes in a daze: "What happened?"
A maidservant had already said outside the door: "Your Majesty is going out hunting, and I have told the Second Prince not to accompany him."
Tuoba Yuanju muttered, and fell asleep again with the newlyweds in his arms. His eldest brother Tuoba Yuanlang's condition became more and more serious, and he couldn't even attend his wedding. The burden of continuing the Tuoba family's fragrance fell on him.
He was on his shoulders alone. He was busy making people last night, so Xiang Li Qingtian's body was still soft and he didn't want to move at all.
However, the other young men in the stockade did not receive this treatment. The sound of the horn was an order, like an imperial edict, and no one dared to delay. Soon, people outside the stockade were shouting.
Tuoba Mumi had just put on his leather armor, carried a bow on his back, and was arranging his team. He heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He looked up and saw hundreds of cavalry galloping towards him. The snow on the ground was everywhere under the trampling of the horses.
Splashing, there was a bright red battle flag with the word "Western Sea" written on it.
He already had a guilty conscience, and he had just had that dream, so he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Liu, Liu Ziqiu is coming to kill him!"
Liu Ziqiu made a big splash yesterday. In the hearts of the people of the Tuoba tribe, he is a well-deserved hero. After hearing Tuoba Mumi's words, the people around him were a little confused. Isn't Liu Ziqiu the future son-in-law of their Tuoba tribe? Why should he?
Come to kill?
Lai Luo Weimu reacted quickly and said loudly: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Tuoba Mumi rallied everyone with the order to go hunting, but whether it was nomads or Dangxiang tribes who were part-cultivating and part-herding, there was not much difference between hunting and fighting. With the order, the young men dispersed,
Draw your bow and nock an arrow, aiming at the incoming enemy.
However, he saw the team of cavalry suddenly stopped just a stone's throw away. In the middle of the team, a burly man jumped off his horse and walked over quickly. Only then did Tuoba Mumi realize that the other party had no ill intentions and it was all a false alarm.
, waved his hand to tell everyone to step back, and stepped forward to greet him.
The big man came forward, put his hand on his chest, bent down and saluted: "The Thousand Commanders under Master Liu of Xihai County pay their respects to the prince in Jiao Liyan!"
Kakuliyan was originally just a leader of a small tribe with 200 households. Such a figure was really insignificant in the land of Xihai, and it was difficult for Tuoba Mumi to recognize him, so Tuoba Mumi did not recognize him.
However, since he claimed to be Liu Ziqiu's subordinate and was obviously here on Liu Ziqiu's order, Tuoba Mumi couldn't just take it lightly. He nodded and asked, "Why did Master Liu send you here?
"
Jiao Liyan smiled and said, "I'm here to pay the betrothal gift."
"Betrothal gift?" Tuoba Mumi was stunned, then he remembered what Liu Ziqiu said before leaving yesterday, and blurted out, "So fast!"
Jiao Liyan said unceremoniously: "My lord is afraid that something will happen to the prince again, so as soon as he returns to Weiding City, he ordered me to come here overnight!"
After saying that, Kakurenobu waved his hand behind him. Soldiers had already driven past four carriages. The carriages were dark and filled with pig iron.
If he had seen so much pig iron in normal times, Tuoba Mumi's eyes would have shone a long time ago, but now he was so busy with his thoughts that he had long forgotten his happiness. Liu Ziqiu returned to Weiding City so quickly, and even sent someone to deliver the betrothal gift.
, the speed is so fast that it is simply unimaginable. However, Kakuzatonobu and the other soldiers' eyes were red and swollen, and they looked tired, as if they had not slept all night.
Jiao Liyan and his party did come all night. In fact, Jiao Liyan arrived at the Tuoba tribe an hour ago. It was still dark at that time, and the bonfires outside the village could still be seen and the cheerful songs could be heard. However,
Jiao Liyan did not come to the stockade immediately, but waited until the horn sounded in the stockade.
This was a temporary strategy devised by Liu Ziqiu, just to stabilize Tuoba Mumi.
After repelling the 500 Shiwei pursuers, Jiao Liyan followed Liu Ziqiu's instructions and hurried back to Weiding City, retrieved two thousand kilograms of pig iron from the warehouse, and rushed to the Tuoba tribe without stopping.
Although he didn't know that Tuoba Mumi had already had murderous intentions when he tried to save him, but the cavalry of unknown origin still aroused his vigilance. Besides Murong Fuyun, there were other people who wanted his life in the West Sea.
.Being on guard against others is essential. If Tuoba Mumi also takes the opportunity to stab him in the back, with the current strength of Weiding City, it is impossible to be enemies of so many tribes at the same time.
The purpose of sending the betrothal gift in such a hurry is to tell Tuoba Mumi and other people with different intentions that he, Liu Ziqiu, has returned to Weiding City. If you want to harm him, just come and attack the city. Although these tribes are martial, they
They are only good at field battles and don't have the courage to let them attack a city.
As for waiting for the horn in the village to sound before appearing again, it was Liu Ziqiu's request to give Tuoba Mumi a try. Now it seems that Tuoba Mumi really has no good intentions.
At this time, Lai Luo Weimu also came forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be really impatient. He traveled all night without fear of running into any danger."
Jiao Liyan laughed and said: "There are a few young people who are not enough for my adults to snap their fingers, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Thinking of the scene of Liu Ziqiu inserting his fingers into the boulder, both Tuoba Mumi and Lailuo Weimu couldn't help but shudder.
…
At this time, Liu Ziqiu snapped his fingers cheerfully on his horse. We were not far from Weiding City in front of us. If we walked for half an hour, we would be completely safe.
With Liu Ziqiu's current physical condition, it was obvious that he could not ride too fast, so the marching speed was very slow. After walking all night, he could not see Weiding City. Although they were very tired, all the soldiers still looked excited. This
The battle was so exciting that they wiped out 6,000 enemy cavalry and not one of them was killed. They were not allowed to whisper to each other during the march. After returning, they might have to talk for three days and three nights before they could stop.
Suddenly, Lin Qiaoer's face turned red and she whispered: "Your Majesty, can you stop for a moment? My family, my family..."
"You're not going to sprinkle any more spices, are you?" Liu Ziqiu laughed, waved his hand and said, "Everyone rest where you are!"
Dawn had already broken in the east, the wilderness behind him stretched as far as the eye could see, there was no trace of pursuing soldiers, and Weiding City was very close at hand, so there was no need to be so anxious.
Lin Qiaoer's face turned redder, she lowered her head and muttered: "Slave, this time it's true..."
While explaining in vain, Lin Qiaoer galloped out of the team and disappeared behind a hillside. Immediately afterwards, a scream of "ah" came from behind the hillside.
