When he was at the shooting range, General Zhang Heng was so frightened that he ran away in front of him and chased after him. When he saw the bow and arrow coming, he ran like a rabbit.
Despite her fat body, her calves moved so fast that she almost made Su Yining laugh to death.
Zhang Heng knew that he had lost a big face and came to the arena with a gloomy expression.
"Today's game is the same as in previous years. Whoever can get supplies back from the Turks wins."
Then he pointed to the horses in the distance and let them choose as they pleased.
On the surface there doesn't seem to be any problem.
"My lord, you cannot participate in this competition. If you were to participate in the Turks, wouldn't you be scared away?"
Seeing Han Yunshen preparing to choose horses, he hurriedly stopped him.
"Such an operation must be led by an agent. General Zhang, are you sure that the soldiers will not have any accidents?"
Han Yunshen looked at him sharply, his tone not allowing for refutation.
"I didn't say I wouldn't allow you to go! General Zhang, aren't you sure you can win against me?"
"Beidaying, you haven't been thinking about it for a long time. The emperor didn't send you here just for fun. The Turks are so rampant, and you haven't done anything?"
Every word he said was like a sharp sword thrust into Zhang Heng's heart.
The emperor sent him here just to squeeze out Han Yunshen. Once he leaves his seat, he may not be able to sit safely.
Moreover, the emperor will not allow a general with no military exploits to occupy the position. You must know how comfortable he is sitting in the general's position now.
Seeing that Zhang Heng was still hesitating, Han Yunshen directly threw out a bigger bait.
"I heard that the second princess got divorced and has been looking for a husband... It is said that she is looking for a general to be her consort."
Zhang Heng also made some achievements in the military when he was young, but as he grew older and was eroded by power, he gradually became what he is now.
A bloated figure, an arrogant mentality, and a heart that doesn't want to be buried.
The Zhang family used to be glorious and loyal to the emperor, but now the emperor has become lonely.
Wouldn't it be even more awesome if I could marry a princess and go home? As for the original wife? Just die or get divorced.
"Han Yunshen, you don't need to use aggressive methods to stimulate me. It is Zhang's duty to destroy the Turks and protect the people! The soldiers I brought out must be brought back safely."
Having said that, he got on his horse, his momentum rising steadily, and he drew out the sharp sword from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the Turks.
"General Zhang, it's best to do this. You must know that deserting is not an easy job."
Han Yun, who was always expressionless, raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.
Likewise, lead your men and get on your horse.
At the same time, I also noticed that there was Wu Yang in Zhang Heng's team during the competition, and his eyes were even deeper.
The Gobi has long stretches of yellow sand and endless loess slopes.
Wearing a face towel to protect against wind and sand, everyone's water and food are limited in order to test people's endurance and ability.
They must achieve their goals within an effective time.
"Han Yunshen, there are no traces of the Turks here!" Su Yining has never seen the Turks, and only knows about them from some records.
It was so uncomfortable for her to drink, and she took several sips of water during her break before she regained her composure.
"The Turks are not always in one place. Many times they leave the border of West Vietnam and lurk outside here."
He felt some moisture on his lips, and lowered his eyes to see her holding the water bag against his lips.
But he shook his head: "When fighting outside, the source of water is very scarce. The water bag must not be empty unless it is absolutely necessary."
"We come here to endure hardships. We can't let the soldiers live too comfortably, as that will reduce their bloodiness."
He didn't take a sip from the water bag on his waist, but just licked his chapped lips with his tongue.
Su Yining looked down at the water bag in his hand and fell into deep thought. Was he too comfortable?
"You drink your own. You are not a soldier, so you cannot be so strict. The water in this desert is life, so everyone cherishes it very much."
Han Yunshen knew that she had space, so he naturally didn't attach much importance to food and drink, and he would not be so strict with his lover, so he gave her the freedom of his own country.
Soon night fell and the temperature dropped sharply.
It can be extremely hot during the day, and at night it is almost freezing, making people shiver with cold, and the dry air is refreshing.
A team of fifty people spread out in groups of ten and lit bonfires to keep warm.
There was a black iron pot on the orange fire, cooking a mixture of porridge, water and pancakes.
The first bowl was presented to Han Yunshen first, and it was a big bowl filled to the brim.
The rest was more than half a bowl for each person, and everyone ate the porridge and water in an orderly manner. This small wooden bowl had many functions at critical moments.
"Han Yunshen, what is the use of this bowl?" Isn't it used for eating? Why does everyone cherish it so much?
Han Yunshen stopped eating and turned his head to look at his dark little face.
Whispered in her ear: "It can be used to store urine or blood, and it can also be used to collect some dew."
"Many times the water bladder will be damaged due to fighting, so everyone will have one of these small wooden bowls."
Turkic people are very ruthless and will try their best to destroy their water bladders during some battles and chases. Once they lose their way, the bowl becomes a life-saving vessel.
It was extremely cold in the Gobi at night. A group of them huddled on the back of a hill, using the mountain to block the cold wind. Even so, Su Yining was still shivering from the cold.
"Where do you think Zhang Heng and the others will be?" She leaned against Han Yunshen, feeling his body temperature.
A large cloak covered her body, holding her in her arms.
"They should show up tomorrow."
"Ah? You mean they have been following us?" Su Yining exclaimed in a low voice.
"Zhang Heng is a timid and powerful person who is eager for quick success. This competition is just to make him seek death!"
When Han Yunshen came to the northwest, he realized that the situation was not right, and he had already begun to make plans to use this competition to eliminate the people buried here by the emperor.
When the emperor could let his confidants die quietly, he could let the other party's people do the same.
When the sky was dim and bright, Su Yining was drowsily asleep when he suddenly felt the earth trembling.
The sound of iron hooves could be heard in my ears.
Subconsciously, there was nothing around me, and there was no warmth at all.
When she looked at the source of the sound, she was stunned.
Horses wearing black armor appeared in front of them, they were like the legendary ghost army.
Covered in black from head to toe, you can't see the face inside the black helmet, only those cold eyes staring at you.
There are actually thousands of such powerful cavalry...
These people got off their horses, walked to Han Yunshen, and knelt down in unison.
"Subordinates, please see the prince and see the princess!"
Su Yining looked at these soldiers with evil spirits in confusion. It seems that these people are not the ones they brought out?
And what happened to the princess...
Han Yunshen took her hand and walked to the leading soldier in black.
Solemnly: "From today on, she will be your future master. Your mission is to protect her with your own blood. Remember?"
The soldier in black saluted stiffly for a moment, then took off his helmet to reveal a resolute and serious face underneath.
Those wolf-like eyes stared at Su Yining.
"My subordinate Hei Lang, please meet your new master."
