The First Tyrant of Daxia

"What are you doing here?" Qin Yun asked seriously.

"Sir, I'm worried about you." Tuoba Yu'er was timid. Looking at a group of fierce and powerful troops who were about to go to the battle, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

Qin Yun grinned: "I'm afraid you are worried about your mother?"

"Don't worry, I promised your brother that I would get him out."

"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold!"

Hearing this, Tuoba Yuer's mixed-race face felt more at ease.

Embarrassed, "You should also pay attention to your safety. Qiuci is not like Ruoqiang. Yu'er still wants to rely on you for the rest of her life."

Hearing this, Qin Yun was satisfied. This woman was very sensible.

If there were no one else present, I would have held up that pair of warm jades.

"Yeah." He nodded lightly and left.

"grown ups!"

"Take this. There are guards from my Tuoba family in Kucha. As long as you have this token, you can let them and my mother go with you."

Tuoba Yuer took small steps with her jade legs and stuffed a bronze patterned token, full of exotic atmosphere, into Qin Yun's hand.

Qin Yun nodded. He understood Tuoba Yuer's subtext, which was not to hurt anyone in her family.

But it is undeniable that she is honest.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yun led his army away.

Tuoba Yu'er watched them leave, her naturally beautiful, exquisite mixed-race face showing a hint of worry, worry about her family and also worry about Qin Yun.

After all, they touched each other and slept in the same bed. Even if they didn't perform the Zhougong ceremony, they still slept together.

She has already identified herself as Qin Yun's woman.

She had a natural admiration for this overlord of the Central Plains, the man who had fought hard against the Turkic Khanate.

Depart at dusk.

Traveling late at night, under the stars.

Qin Yun did not dare to delay, as he could see from Yue Nu's letter that the Turkic probing had reached a desperate level.

One more second, one more danger.

"How long will it take?" Qin Yun exhaled a puff of white mist. The desert night was so cold that his fingers were stiff.

"Your Majesty, even if we travel at full speed, it will take at least a day." Feng Qi blurted out as a guide.

Qin Yun frowned: "The entire army has lost all its baggage, and only the water cart is left."

"Never mind. There's no rush."

"Give the order to all the troops to dismount and rest for half an hour before continuing to march."

Chen Qingzhi and others came forward with torches, looking earnest: "Your Majesty, there is no need to rest."

"Soldiers, we are all looking forward to fighting with you and making contributions. What does this little hardship mean?"

"That's right!" Long Xiao and others looked over.

Qin Yun was moved, but he was a man who loved his soldiers. He had been traveling for several hours. Marching in the desert was different from marching in ordinary places.

Easy fatigue and dry mouth.

"dismount!"

"Rest!"

"My soldiers are not animals!" he roared and was the first to dismount.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately dismounted from their horses. The endless army made a roar and looked extremely vast.

The officers and soldiers, both high and low, were deeply moved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for loving our soldiers like your own sons!"

Qin Yun waved his hand, sat down casually in the sand, took off his shoes, and poured out the sand and dust in them.

The soldiers around also drank water and rested.

Qin Yun looked at the embroidered edging of the shoes in his hand, including the inner padding, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

The shoes were sewn stitch by stitch by Xiang'er, Mu Ci and others. Although they were queens and imperial concubines, they did many things by themselves like ordinary women.

In this foreign country, he suddenly felt homesick.

I miss my children, Xiang'er, the headmaster's wife, Mu Ci, Dou Ji, Pei Yao, Su Yan and other aunts and wives, as well as Mu'er's snow-white feet and Zhi Miao's long legs...

I don’t know when I can return to the imperial capital!

He closed his eyes, smiled, and fell into a light sleep.

During the march, a sweet dream did not last long and was broken by a loud voice.

"There are enemies!"

"There are enemies!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"It's a small coalition force. Chop them up and don't let them get away!"

Everyone roared and the war horses roared, and the whole desert was boiling in an instant.

Qin Yun was awakened and stood up quickly. He saw torches everywhere and fierce fighting in the distance.

"what happened?!"

Mr. Feng led a large number of Jinyiwei to protect the surrounding areas.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. We ran into a small patrol of the coalition forces in the desert and have been surrounded by Chen Qianzhi and others."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's face turned grim. The Western Region army had this habit. They were familiar with the terrain, adapted to the climate, and often conducted large-scale patrols at night.

I just didn't expect that during this short rest I would be spotted by the patrolling army. What bad luck!

"Send a message to Chen Qingzhi, kill them all, don't let any of them escape."

"The surprise attack on the Kingdom of Kucha is top secret and cannot be leaked!"

"If you let any of them escape, I will kill him!" Qin Yun shouted, extremely excited.

"Yes!" The Jinyiwei was extremely anxious and rushed forward to give the order.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The chaotic battlefield became quiet, the fighting stopped, only the flames were burning and the smell of blood was filling the air.

Qin Yun walked into the battlefield and looked at the corpses on the ground: "Have they all been killed?"

Chen Qingzhi patted his chest like a demon and said, "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that no one will escape."

"Two hundred people in total, all died here!"

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, bury the body."

"Then prepare to march."

"The Western Regions' habit of night patrols almost caused my plan to suffer a great loss!"

"Yes!" Everyone bowed, and they were all sweating.

It was too dark at night and the scouts were not familiar with the terrain, so the Westerners hid in the sand, which led to this incident.

Qin Yun turned and left.

suddenly.

He heard the sound of running water.

The whole person froze for a moment.

"not good!"

Then his face suddenly changed and he rushed to the side of the waterwheel.

All the water wheels were shot through by arrows. A fierce fight covered up the noise here, causing all the water in the water wheels to drain out.

The desert below was wet, and the hole in the waterwheel was still dripping with water, but there was not much left.

Torches were lit, and everyone followed. When they saw this scene, their scalps suddenly tingled.

Feng Qi's face turned pale: "It's over!"

"This is a common trick used by the Western Region army, destroying the waterwheel!"

"As soon as the day breaks and the temperature rises, we will die of thirst in the desert without having to fight!"

Qin Yun roared angrily to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death!"

The generals and scouts knelt on the ground in unison, filled with shame.

"Get out of here!"

“Now is not the time to hold people accountable.”

Qin Yun understood very well what it meant if the water was gone. He had to either retreat or die of thirst in the desert. Even if he was lucky enough to reach Qiuci City, he would not be able to fight.

He was so anxious that he was sweating all over, like a headless fly, and the people around him also had a grim look on their faces.

Suddenly, he grabbed Feng Qi and the others and said, "You live in the Western Regions, so you should know other water sources, right?"

Feng Qi and the others looked at each other with bitter expressions.

"Your Majesty, we know it."

"But the journey is too long, and we may even have to turn back. In this case, we will definitely not be able to capture Qiuci City within three days."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's expression became even uglier.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If we fail to take it on time, it will affect the whole body. If Tuoba Xiong fights, the coalition forces of the five countries will be in big trouble."
