Thought

"My lord, the person who kidnapped Mu Nian can't be contacted."

Qiu Linhe opened his eyes, his face turned pale.Hearing this, he coughed twice involuntarily, and asked his subordinate to immediately hand over the teacup to his hand.

I whipped the princes in the royal court countless times in my heart, my lord's health is not good, and the last time I fell into the water, the cold air invaded my lord's body.

Qiu Linhe took a sip of water, suppressed the itch in his throat, thoughtfully, "Where are the five thousand elite soldiers that Xue Yi brought out from Qingyu Pass? Where are they?"

"The subordinates don't know. Our people found their traces scattered around, but there is no way to confirm the specifics." The subordinate said hesitantly, his face was full of shame, "It is the subordinates who are incompetent and failed to find Xue Yi's trail."

Qiu Linhe raised his hand to stop his self-blame, "I know your abilities, but if you can't find them now, there are only two results. One is

Xue Yi never left the city with [-] elite soldiers. "

"Secondly, Xue Yi went out of the city, but he took the five thousand elite soldiers for another purpose, and deliberately concealed his tracks." Qiu Linhe tapped his pale fingers on the table, "Where did Xue Yi go with the five thousand elite soldiers?" gone?"

Between words actually ruled out the first possibility.

Slowly, a shocking idea appeared in Qiu Linhe's mind, and after a glimpse, Qiu Linhe couldn't forget it.After a while without suppressing the guessing in his heart, Qiu Linhe narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go and see if Wang Ting is safe."

"My lord!", the subordinate's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect why the topic would suddenly change from Xue Yi's five thousand elite soldiers to the royal court hundreds of miles away.It's just that his trust and admiration for Qiu Linhe made him respond immediately and prepare to go out and make arrangements.

"Wait." Qiu Linhe suddenly called out to his subordinates who were about to walk out of the camp.

The subordinate stopped obediently, waiting for Qiu Linhe's order.

Qiu Linhe closed his eyes, his eyeballs turned slightly, and his fingertips tapped on the table quickly, faster and faster, and then stopped suddenly. Qiu Linhe opened his eyes and looked at a certain point in the camp. , or did not look at anything, the voice was empty and ethereal, "Wait a little longer, and see the news from Qingyuguan."

Such a sentence seemed to exhaust all of Qiu Linhe's strength.The whole person was sitting in the chair, and the anger wrapped around him bit by bit.

In Qingyu Pass, Wei Shuolin drew his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at a general on the battlefield. With a sound of "咻", the feathered arrow flew across the air, inserted into the arm of the general who was aimed at, and directly took the man off the horse with force.

The sound of "Boom" was the sound of gunpowder thrown from the city tower exploding.

From yesterday to today, the Turks have never stopped attacking the city.The blood stained the city wall of Qingyuguan in a deep black layer, and the solid surface also showed traces of potholes.

Yisha wiped the blood on his face, looking at Qingyuguan with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes.Can't help but curse, "This damn Zhenyuan Hou's family is born to be against us."

Don't even think about it, it was Xue Yi who brought the gun|powder to Qingyu Pass.Yisha knew in his heart that this time he might return without success.

"Eldest Prince, Your Excellency tells you to withdraw your troops." A soldier ran from the Turkic camp to the battlefield on horseback, waving the flag in his hand vigorously, and conveyed the meaning of Qiulingu to Yisha.

Yisha's face darkened slightly, but Ming Jin retreated obediently.

Wei Shuolin watched the Turks retreat from the tower, turned around and went down the tower.What happened in the camp that day flashed in his mind one by one, and he, who cooperated with Xue Yi in acting, naturally knew what Xue Yi was doing at this time.

At this time, Qiu Linhe probably guessed their real intention.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Wei Shuolin treated the wounds on his body briefly, and then learned from Tan Ma that the Turks had withdrawn from the camp.

Wei Shuolin paused slightly with his hand holding the gauze, Qiu Linhe was decisive, and Xue Yi was running out of time.

More than a day, without stopping, was enough for Xue Yi to lead five thousand elite soldiers along the route left by Cheng's mother to the hunting ground of the Turkic royal court a hundred miles away.

"General." Zhang Ping couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.

Xue Yi took out the kraft paper in his arms and looked at the map carefully.Niangqin really left him a surprise, she didn't expect that the end of the route would be the hunting ground of the Turkic royal family.

The Turks are good at riding horses, especially the royal family. Every Chanyu of the Turks must be good at riding a horse, which shows the importance of this hunting ground.

Therefore, the distance between the hunting ground and the royal court is only a short two miles. If you rush in by surprise...

Xue Yi put away the kraft paper, his eyes fell on the direction of the Turkic royal court, "Tell our people to rest well, and at night I will take you to see the Turkic royal court."

where his father had been.

Zhang Ping responded excitedly, turned around and pressed a group of excited soldiers to rest.

As night fell, five thousand elite soldiers rushed into... the royal court in the dark.

On the way, three small teams were split up tacitly, about a hundred people, and rushed to the nearby building.

"There are assassins...", the rough voice sounded in the silent night, and instantly woke up the sleeping Wang Ting.After a short period of darkness, large swaths of lights came on.

What responded to them was a cold weapon, inserted neatly into the warm chest, bringing out scorching blood and a life.

Xue Shuru is a reserved person.This can be seen from the fact that he doesn't often talk about entering the Turkic court. Unless the young Xue Yi was tightly entangled, Xue Shuru would simply tell what happened that day.

Xue Shuru's gentle voice still remained in his mind, and the young Xue Yi only remembered how heroic and great his father was at that time.

The current Xue Yi can easily restore from Xue Shuru's story the route that Xue Shuru entered the royal court, as well as the distribution of some palaces in the royal court.

It was easy for Xue Yi to arrive at the place where Xue Shuru had arrived.

"Nice to see you." Xue Yi felt that his attitude was not bad, at least he should be gentler than Xue Shuru back then?Xue Yi thought incongruously, and adjusted the angle of the long sword in his hand by the way.

Shan Yu looked at Xue Yi's face that was almost similar to Xue Shuru's, and the fear that had been suppressed so hard at the beginning suddenly came back. enemy.

The scattered Yan soldiers are looking for his traces everywhere. In the eyes of those people, his head is just a tool for promotion and title.

What's more is the hatred for Xue Shuru, wishing to cut off the flesh of Xue Shuru himself, so as to alleviate his shame.

Shan Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't have this chance.

A cold light flashed in Shan Yu's eyes, and there was a pain in his throat... "Boom", it was Shan Yu's body that fell to the ground.

Zhang Ping stepped forward to chop off Shan Yu's head, and tore off the curtain to wrap the head indiscriminately.Walking to Xue Yi's side, "General."

Xue Yi nodded, "Tell the soldiers to stop, whether they have completed the task or not, they are all ready to withdraw."

Xue Yi and the five thousand elite soldiers he led came and went in a hurry like a gust of wind blowing through the royal court.Before Wang Ting could react, he had already disappeared into the royal family's hunting ground.

After a night of fierce fighting, some exhausted soldiers did not dare to stay for a while, maintaining the speed they had come and quickly moving away from the royal court.

Even so, Xue Yi bumped into a Turkic army.

"Farewell to Kyoto, I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances." Qiu Linhe greeted plainly as if meeting an acquaintance.

Xue Yi smiled, "I thought about it, you will lead someone to find me here. But I also believe that I will leave in front of you intact."

"Oh?" Qiu Linhe glanced at the soldiers behind Xue Yi, "Just because of the weak Dayan soldiers behind you?"

Xue Yi nodded and shook his head again, "They are just one of my reliances. If I guessed correctly, the royal court should be in complete chaos at this time. There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call themselves kings. I think the third prince will thank me for staying here on purpose." his life."

Shaking his head and nodding again, Qiu Linhe immediately understood what Xue Yi meant.

"You're right." Qiu Linhe waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately dispersed to one side, making way for a wide road, "Please."

Xue Yi motioned for the soldiers to leave first, while he looked at Qiu Linhe, "I took care of those messes for you, but I'm a good person, so I don't ask for your thanks."

It is typical to get cheap and sell well.

"I prefer to do it myself." Qiu Linhe understood Xue Yi's meaning. He helped Yisha stabilize the position of the eldest prince step by step, and naturally became a thorn in the side of the other princes, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

It was only those few people who caused him to enter the water.

"So I left one for you." Xue Yi didn't feel ashamed at all. While following the soldiers in front, he said without looking back, "Surprise, no thanks."

"My lord." The subordinate looked at Xue Yi leading the people away, his eyes were flushed, and he was extremely unwilling, "Why don't we keep them, even though we have fewer people than them..."

Qiu Linhe stopped what his subordinates wanted to say, "How could Xue Yi dare to lead people deep into the royal court without leaving a way out for himself." What's more, he believed that Xue Yi could really do the job of leaving only the third prince behind. matter.

Otherwise, he would not just bring such a few people to intercept Xue Yi, but divide the troops into two groups and ask Yisha to rush to the royal court.

Shan Yu is dead, if the third prince is smart, he can take this opportunity to sit on Shan Yu's throne, Yisha will lose the opportunity.It is even more forbidden to conflict with Xue Yi here, a good sword must be used sharply.

For example, pulling down the third prince who became Shan Yu.

At this time, the ear-shattering bombing sound sounded not far away. He was very familiar with that sound. He often heard it in the border area. It was the sound of gunpowder exploding.Qiu Linhe's expression was shocked, and he looked in the direction of the voice.There was another "boom", making him sure that it was Wang Ting.

Qiu Linhe suddenly remembered the surprise that Xue Yi said before leaving, so it wasn't the third prince who was left behind, but this one?

What a surprise!Qiu Linhe's face turned blue and white, then turned black and white, wishing to spurt out a mouthful of blood, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Yi!"
