He Qizhou said: "Fortunately, I got my wife back in time!" He then told his life experience. The same misfortune, at least so far, has not happened to him.
"It would be great if I could get my junior sister back earlier." Yuwen Lingyun fell into grief again.
Xu Mu secretly wiped away his tears, carefully picked out a piece of dough from the box of dough, carefully taught Yuwen Lingyun how to use it, and finally said: "I should have guessed that instead of falling into an unfortunate marriage like your junior sister, you Your parents would rather you roam freely outside, but I think they must miss you very much. With this, you can go back quietly. I hope that the next time we meet again will be at Hanjian Villa!"
Yu Wen Lingyun was so moved that he didn't know what to say. After being stunned for a long time, he nodded, stuffed the wrapped dough into his arms, and galloped away. The word "thank you" came from a distance, but it was a little blurry with choked sobs. clear.
"Is Hanjian Villa so powerful? I remember you told me once." He Qizhou said.
Xu Mu said: "Hanjian Villa has been standing for hundreds of years. It is famous for its swordsmanship. It has always been a giant in northern martial arts. It was once known as the best swordsman in the world. However, the sect has a strong concept and almost does not accept disciples with other surnames. They don’t want to get involved in matters outside the village, so the scale is not large. Master said that the strength of the village owner Yu Wen Chongxiao should not be lower than that of Tianlong Cult Master. Now that Tianlong Cult Master has passed away, he may be the number one master of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"A good young village owner has fallen like this. How come there is no good person in the Helian family!" He Qizhou sighed.
Xu Mu said: "I really can't explain the affairs of the royal family, and we in Daqi may not be much better off. Let's go faster. If Helian Changji is not captured by the Keji tribe's territory, there is probably no hope."
"Okay, let's go!" He Qizhou nodded and responded. The most important thing now is to catch the vicious little prince.
When the two of them walked to noon, a large pool of gravel appeared in front of them, and there were no more tracks to be found. After walking a few miles due east, they found more and more rocks, hills, and forked roads. They knew that they had deviated from the commercial road, and they did not want to go back. To find the road, just try to head due east. Anyway, it is located at the foot of the Altai Mountains. The surrounding mountains are not high, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get out if you find the right direction.
After the two of them walked for six or seven days, there were gradually more grass and wild flowers, growing in clusters in the open space between the rocks. Xu Mu never put it on again after taking off the mask that day. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Cheng He picked up the most beautiful flower in He Qizhou’s eyes.
Wherever there is grass, there are animals. He Qizhou can also hunt easily. He has hunted rabbits and pheasants in the past few days, but the most common ones are "rabbits and rats". Xu Mu finally saw the true face of "rabbits and rats" for the first time. He couldn't help but "beat and curse" He Qizhou again!
Although the hope of catching up with Helian Changji is getting slimmer, food for people and horses is not a problem, and the climate is getting cooler. The most important thing is to have your beloved by your side, sometimes flirting, sometimes talking sweetly and hugging each other. I hope such days can last longer. Remembering the embarrassing scene in the Zhennanguan cave dwelling, the two of them no longer sleep together in quilts, but each carefully guard their defenses, waiting for the wedding day to come early. .
At noon that day, the two of them were riding horses along a mountain ridge. When they reached the highest point, they suddenly saw a bright light ahead, and a familiar yet unfamiliar scene appeared in front of them.
Stone pillars and stalagmites stand on the edge of the southern mountains, stretching endlessly, forming the gateway to countless mountains. Those collapsed and weathered stone pillars have transformed into low hills, located directly in front of the foot of the mountain ridge, and at the foot of the hills
On the north side, the endless deep green is the pastureland of the Keji people, but I wonder who is grazing it now?
Of course I am familiar because I revisited my old place, but I am unfamiliar because my perspective has changed, and also because of the changes in this grassland! It may be because the Keji people left, or it may be that the drought has passed, and the grassland that was once green and yellow has changed.
Now it has turned into a green ocean, and the green color on the gentle surface is like water waves after a breeze, spreading all the way to the eastern sky, forming an incomparably beautiful picture with the foothills formed by the stone pillars.
"Are you still chasing me? I wonder if the Northern Zhou Dynasty has troops stationed here?" Xu Muxue said with some worry.
"Let's go down the mountain and have a look first. If it doesn't work, we have Tianju who can run into the stone forest." He Qizhou said.
"Then let me change my appearance first." Xu Muxue said.
"good."
When Xu Muxue turned into Xu Mu again, the two of them no longer walked along the mountain ridge, but went directly downhill to the east. As long as they passed through the hundred-foot-long canyon at the foot of the mountain, they could continue along the stone forest. The canyon was also made by falling down.
It was composed of stone pillars underneath. It was not long, but quite winding. At the entrance of the canyon, the two found traces of ruts again, and finally returned to the right path.
The two of them were glad to have found the road and entered the canyon excitedly. After walking for several dozen feet, they suddenly saw that the road more than two feet wide had been blocked by rocks several feet high. Then they heard the roar of people.
After the pile of rocks, ten big men holding powerful crossbows suddenly swarmed up! Looking at the top of the canyon, a dozen people each emerged from a height of more than 20 feet, aiming at the two people on the horse with bows and arrows.
He Qizhou was just about to call Xu Mu to exit the canyon when he heard Helian Changji's sinister laughter coming from behind him: "You can't run away! Let's capture you without mercy." There were only twenty or thirty people blocking the entrance when they came in.
They were either bows and arrows or swords. The two at the front were none other than Helian Changji and another man who looked fierce and looked like a master at first sight!
"Surrender, I advise you not to take any action. You can't stop the arrows coming from all directions! They are far more powerful than you think!" Helian Changji's face, which had been gloomy for more than a month, finally showed a smile.
…
In Tuyuhun Haixi County, half a month ago, after receiving the secret decree from the new king, Prime Minister Kangche, Marshal and his generals had a secret meeting all night. They were hesitant between turning back and retreating quietly. In the end, their fear of war took over.
Shangfeng found an excuse to return to the royal city and evacuated the entire army from the south pass the next day.
King Haijun did not dare to order an attack on these bastard Kangche people until the last moment. After that, all kinds of bad news came one after another: Kangche country changed hands; another 20,000 infantry troops led by Li Hao were added outside the North Pass.
; The cavalry chasing Chi Yan also returned, and they heard that Chi Yan was dead; the people in the tribe were in panic, and many people had secretly made secret suggestions to Li Hao...
After discussing with Zhang Zhiren, Li Hao decided not to carry out a forceful attack, knowing that he would be defeated with one attack, so that the people of Tuyuhun would suffer less. He only sent a signal to the valley to punish the culprit and spare others. King Haijun knew that the situation was over, so he hurriedly explained the situation.
Afterwards, he drew his sword and committed suicide. The tribal elders took the head of Ruocha, the king of Haijun, and led the tribe to surrender at Bei Pass. The Tuyuhun rebellion lasted for three months and then subsided.
Li Hao, who had suffered two losses, was kind-hearted by nature and did not liquidate Haixi too much. Except for punishing a few leaders who advocated rebellion and soldiers who robbed and massacred civilians during the rebellion, the rest were released to various ethnic groups.
.Then, Haixi was divided into six tribes, four of them were moved out to poorer pastures, and then those tribes that suffered losses due to the war were moved in. This was regarded as compensation from Haixi.
Because he was worried about the eager Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Zhiren did not stay too long and ordered the two armies to surrender and return to Shu. According to the emperor's wishes during the expedition, he informed Li Hao that Tu Yuhun could not send hostages to Beijing for the time being, but he was injured.
Jiang Zhu, King of Qin, returned to Beijing with him.
Regarding the military exploits of this expedition, Zhang Zhiren made a preliminary summary, and listed Bai Yong of Shiqu Town and He Qizhou who reported the message as the first meritorious service, and prepared to ask the emperor to exonerate Bai Yong and others and grant favors;
Then came Li Chenji and Xu Mu who pacified Kangche Kingdom and killed Chiyan. However, Li Jichen said that he would not accept any reward. He was not too worried about He Qizhou and Xu Mu who were chasing Helian Changji. There were already few in this world.
There are experts who can deal with the two of them, and keeping them away from Qi State for a period of time will also help dilute the impact of the escaped marriage.
When Li Jichen brought Lu Zhenyao back, he told Zhang Zhiren his thoughts. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiren also had the same idea. The two of them were able to return safely from the enemy country in desperate situations last year. Now that their achievements have greatly increased, there is no need to worry.
The third place of credit was pointed out to Jiang Di, because he surrendered the heavily armored Zhou Cavalry without even using a single soldier. If a fight were to begin, it would at least be worth a battalion of elite soldiers. However, Zhang Zhiren was still very fond of Jiang Di.
He was dissatisfied. It was against military discipline to issue surrender conditions without notification. It was clearly taking away the merits of the commander-in-chief Li Ruogu. But the other party was the eldest son of the crown prince and the favorite grandson of the emperor. This meritorious service could only allow him to stay.
with;
Ranking fourth are the disciples of the Tianshan Sect led by Urhan and the one hundred elite cavalry led by Tian Bing;
Then came the five thousand infantry troops sent from Jincheng, Sichuan;
Next are the King of Qin and his retinue who stood on the Xining Royal City to fight; Lu Zhenyao and Ling Yue who were injured while trying to capture Chi Yan; Zhang Mufeng and Liu Junzhi who informed Chi Yan of his escape;
Finally, there were the Armed Forces Hall, the Fourth School, the Wuchasi soldiers and the Ganzhou Army led by Zhang Zhiren himself. Although the credit for the report was given at the end, there were almost no casualties among these people, which was what Zhang Zhiren was most gratified about.
Li Ruogu returned with his 20,000 elite knights, Xingye, who were the most powerful force in countering the rebellion. They also made the first contribution in the battle to annihilate the Yulin Guards. However, this was Tu Yuhun's internal affairs, so it was not under Zhang Zhiren's control.
Within the scope of the request.
After this battle, what Li Ruogu gained was far beyond what the Emperor of Qi could give. In the eyes of Tuyuhun people, this prince who appeared out of thin air had become a national hero who turned the tide; the destruction of the Yulin Wei of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also made Li Ruogu
Ruogu became famous among the countries in the Western Regions and had to re-examine Tuyuhun's strength. The great changes in Kangche State made them firm in their national policy of not participating in the struggle between great powers.
Because Li Hao sympathized with the losses caused by the national disaster, he was also sad and happy. After suppressing the rebellion, the country became more united and his dynasty became more loved by the people. Sooner or later, Li Ruogu will become a wise king that surpasses him.
