"The Keji tribe produces beauties, but they have a strong temperament, so it is best to raise them from an early age. The younger the better, and there are few of them, so things are rare. Those beauties who have been raised since childhood are now the favorites of the royal family and the powerful.
, being able to use Keji girls and Tianju as gifts has shown the greatest sincerity of Dazhou."
"How many people are here this time? How many experts are accompanying them?" Xu Mu continued to ask.
"There are five hundred Yulin troops, one hundred of whom are armored heavy cavalry. Let's run away quickly! The garrison camp is only a hundred miles away from here. As soon as those soldiers who fled back reported the news, someone will probably catch up with them tomorrow morning.
"
"Didn't I just come to save you?" Xu Mu sneered.
"If things are done like this, I can't escape my punishment. Now that those bastards have seen me being captured alive, how can I survive when I go back? Please contact my father and the queen at that time and ask him to find an identity for me to hide.
, I am his legitimate son, he will not ignore it, just ask for money! The jade pendant around my waist is a token of the Helian royal family, he will know as soon as he sees it, my family's fiefdom is in Qingcheng... Oh, I want to turn over in this life.
We can only rely on Helian Chenwu!" Helian sighed.
"You are the emperor's most trusted personal guard, do you really want Helian Qingfeng to be defeated?" Xu Mu said disdainfully as he picked up the jade pendant with his sword.
"He came to the position by usurping our lineage. Otherwise, why would I still have to fight to the death? Alas, I didn't expect that I had tried every means to join the Yulin Army and ended up like this!"
"What is the name of the sixth prince? How many masters are there around him?" Xu Mu asked.
"The sixth prince's name is Helian Changji. He is accompanied by two masters from the Tianlong Sect, one with eight meridians and one with seven meridians. However, the sword you two used together just now is enough to deal with them. I am all following Helian Changji's orders.
He is ruthless in his actions and never regards us as human beings. If you want to assassinate him, I can help you, so how about taking the blame?" He Lianshun was still worried that he would be killed.
He Qizhou was a little moved and asked Xu Mu, "Have you heard of this person?"
"Nonsense! Helian is so good at birth, how can I know who it is?" Xu Mu said with a strange eye.
"He is the emperor's favorite little prince. This time he sent a battalion of our Yulin Army to the Western Regions. Even the prince is jealous! In the past, the prince only sent two hundred people to Xijing to worship his ancestors on behalf of his father."
He Lianshun continued to encourage.
He Qizhou looked at Xu Mu with some excitement, but he did not expect to be laughed at by Xu Mu: "Didn't you hear that it was five hundred people? Do you think you can assassinate important members of the royal family so easily? Let me tell you, there is no one in the world who can.
Defeat those hundred armored heavy cavalry by yourself! You’d better find a way to open your fifth channel first!”
He Qizhou made a gesture of raising the knife and lowering it, and argued with some embarrassment: "Do you understand assassination? Sneak into the tent at night and click..."
"Chief Helian Ji's bastard's marching tent is the second largest in the camp. It has two curtains, so it's easy to spot!" He Lianshun said.
"Hey, do you really think I'm stupid?" He Qizhou certainly knew that with his current ability, even the two guards around Helian Changji couldn't defeat him. The Eight Meridians of Northern Zhou Dynasty were not much worse than Cheng Zong of Da Qi.
"Your surname is Jiang, right? I heard that the Daqi royal family is just like our Helian family, and most of them are martial arts experts." Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have much ill will towards him anymore, Helian asked cautiously.
"What is the surname of the queen of your founding emperor?" He Qizhou suddenly asked.
"My surname is Murong." He Lianshun was a little puzzled.
"My goddaughter's surname is Murong. You can guess my surname yourself!" He Qizhou said.
"The turtle man who wants to recognize me as his grandfather is named Helian. You can guess what my last name is." Xu Mu said.
He Qizhou said angrily: "Why are you here again?"
He Lianshun was really angry, but this time his face turned red, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Xu Mu and He Qizhou escorted He Lianshun and asked questions as they walked. Unknowingly, they were not far from the Keji camp. The fire in the camp could point them in the direction from a distance. Two Keji people with torches rode towards them on horseback.
He ran over, and when he saw who it was, he shouted excitedly, and because of the language barrier, he gestured for He and Xu to return to the camp quickly.
The two entered the camp and found that Dili and Chanda had bandaged their wounds, and the clan leader and other important figures in the clan were greeting them in front of the tent. Everyone knelt down on one knee in front of He Xu who had arrived quickly, with his right arm next to his.
Bowing with your chest in front of your chest is the most pious etiquette of the Keji people. It is usually only done when bowing your head and bowing your head.
Although He and Xu didn't know its meaning, they knew it was a great gift, so they quickly learned the same gesture in return and urged everyone to get up and talk quickly.
He Qizhou inspected Di Li's injuries. The tendons and veins were still connected, so there should be no serious problems. However, Changda's arm might no longer be able to use its strength in the future. He Qizhou also had some gold medicine around him, although the Keji herbal medicine was also good.
But it was still not comparable to He Qizhou's medicine. A total of about ten Keji people suffered stab wounds, and He Qizhou reapplied medicine for them.
Di Li said sadly: "Those Zhou Dynasty soldiers were very cruel. More people died than were injured. A total of sixteen people in the tribe died, most of them young and strong men. So when you went to chase the officer, the tribesmen all
He didn't hold back much and beat the wounded soldiers to death, but fortunately, two were left alive in the end."
While He Qizhou was healing people's injuries, Xu Mu looked at the two soldiers who fell side by side on the ground. They were first seriously injured by the sword energy, and then beaten by the tribe. They were both dying when they were persuaded.
Without asking a word, the two of them died one after another.
Xu Mu frowned, pretending to continue questioning, and finally asked Dili to send someone to drag the two of them down and imprison them. He deliberately let He Lianshun, who had been thrown to the ground in the distance, see this, so that he would not dare to lie at will.
, in fact, what was dragged away was just two corpses.
Dili told the two of them that the clan leader had accepted Xu Mu's suggestion and begged Daqi to take in the Keji tribe. The Keji people would definitely serve Daqi with all their heart. He asked the two of them to do them a big favor.
He and Xu naturally agreed, and then told Dili the news asked by Helianshun, and asked Dili to send people to inform each camp overnight, pack up what they could bring, and enter the Altai Mountains immediately! In addition to horses, food and grass
Besides, don’t bring other things if you can, but you must be quick!
Dili immediately told the leaders of each camp that they would all gather at Xiemen before noon tomorrow. As long as they entered the mountain, they would be safe. Fortunately, there were more than 80 Yulin Army horses in the camp, and Dili took these horses with him.
The bows and arrows on their horses were distributed to each camp, so that they could return to the camp as quickly as possible. On the way to Xiemen, they could also have more horses and camels to carry heavy loads. The old patriarch ordered that all the cattle and sheep in the camp be slaughtered and burned immediately.
Boil them in water and provide them for consumption on the road. Except for gold and silver, grains, oils, rice and noodles, everything else will be burned. As for hay, try to let the horses carry as much as possible, and burn what can't be carried. Don't leave it to those crazy Zhou people!
Everyone obeyed the order and rushed back to their own camps. Because Chanda's camp was the farthest, his arm was injured and it was inconvenient to ride a horse. Dili originally wanted him to go with him, but Chanda decided to go back to the camp to arrange it himself, saying that he had been riding horses since he was a child.
With your back growing, you can still ride a horse even if you have no hands!
He and Xu actually knew in their hearts that Changda could speak Chinese, and only when he went back could he clarify the situation with the students from the Armed Forces Hall. But after running so fast for dozens of miles, his arm was probably going to be wasted.
Although the two wanted to see their companions, they did not dare to leave the camp. If another Zhou Cavalry attacked, as long as a team of more than a dozen reconnaissance cavalry, these unarmed Keji tribesmen would have no choice but to be slaughtered. He Qizhou
Reluctantly, he made a bandage for Chanda so that his arms could hang around his neck, so that he would be less susceptible to the jolts of the horse.
After everyone else in the camp left, He and Xu helped clean up the camp. Thirty-six soldiers of the Yulin Army were killed in total. The county magistrate and his entourage, who did not know martial arts, were also hacked to death by the Keji people.
He and Xu killed three more people during the pursuit just now, and a total of eleven people escaped.
Because He and Xu said that He Lianshun might still be of some use when they evacuate tomorrow, Dili, who was gritting his teeth at He Lianshun, could only ask the tribesmen not to hurt him. He Qizhou asked the Keji people to peel off the armor of the Yulin Army soldiers.
, handed over to the young men of the clan, most of the armors were not damaged very much, Xu Mu also picked a suit that fit relatively well, in case there would be another tough battle tomorrow.
He Qizhou found that the bows of those soldiers were exactly the same as his own, and the feather arrows were of two types, light and heavy, which were no worse than the Qi feather arrows that he had shot. He took two Zhou army quivers and filled them with about a hundred feather arrows.
He put it on his horse and prepared a set for Xu Mu.
Just because the military bow is more than twice as powerful as the Keji people's bow, only a few young people in the camp can draw it to 60-70%, so there is no guarantee of accuracy. He Qizhou is not willing to give it up.
After discarding such good bows and arrows, which were not too heavy anyway, he asked the Keji people to bring these bows and arrows with them. A dozen of them were handed over to Chanda's men and brought to the armament hall in the same year.
After the busy work in the middle of the night, fires broke out in the camp. The Keji people tearfully burned their yurts, stables, clothes, bedding... and slaughtered all the cattle, sheep, and camels they depended on for their livelihood. They reluctantly left this land surrounded by mountains, deserts, and Gobi.
In the barren grassland, they are weak and don't know whether they will be lucky or humiliated tomorrow.
…
Forty miles to the north, Chanda’s camp is doing the same thing as the tribe leader’s camp. The students from the armament hall led by Li Zhong are also packing, shipping, cutting meat, and lighting fires for the Keji tribe. At dawn, a team of nearly two hundred people
, divided into more than a hundred horses and a dozen fully loaded carriages, and hurried to Xianmen, sixty miles southwest.
Changda handed over most of the horses he was assigned to Li Zhong. Everyone in the armament hall had their own mounts and took the initiative to pull back two miles to raid the formation for the Keji team. Speaking of which, if he hadn't met Changda, none of them would have
Many people might die of thirst or starvation in the stone forest. Chanda was grateful to them for tying their horses, and they were even more grateful to Chanda for taking them out of the terrifying stone forest!
