Chapter 582
On the northern mountain to the north of Khan Tingya's tent, Tongye Hu Xiao Khan and Zhao Qi led 100 cavalry to gallop along the way, driving a group of yellow sheep everywhere. Tongye Hu Xiao Khan's archery skills were amazing. When the horse was galloping, they jumped up and stood on the back of the horse. Amid the cheers of the Turkic knights under his subordinates, they opened their bows and pulled the bowstrings, and shot sixteen arrows in a row. Each arrow must have a running yellow sheep falling into the ground. The arrow shot into the head from his eyes, but it was not hurt at all.
This superb archery and superb riding skills attracted countless Turkic knights to cheer.
Looking at the Turkic cheers like a demonstration, Zhao Qi chuckled a few times. Huang Jungu, the commander of the escort cavalry, had already seen it and said loudly, "It's just that, I'll show my skills when I look at my grandfather."
After saying that, Huang Junguo suddenly disappeared on the horse, and there was a sharp-eyed person who had seen that Huang Junguo had just used a move to hide in the pedal. Although hiding in the pedal was not too clever, it still attracted a group of Turkic people to applaud.
Huang Junguo was also a hero in troubled times in the southeast of Hebei. He was free to fight against the king all the way, and at most, there were more than 50,000 brothers under him. Unfortunately, he was not in good luck and was stared by Qu Tutong. Old Sheng Song was finally driven from Hedong to Henan. He had no way to walk down into Wagang, and finally followed him to Liaodong.
I originally thought that when I arrived in Liaodong, I could always do a big fight with my own abilities. Unexpectedly, the Liaodong army was like the official army of the court, and the generals and soldiers were very good at it. In addition, I was an outside wild path, neither a legitimate nor a relative, and in the end I became more and more idle. This time, the guards came to the Turks, which was also his own struggle. He could not even go to Hebei anymore and could be suffocated. It would be better to go to the Turks to be relaxed.
Although he was idle in Liaodong for more than a year, Huang Junkuo's martial arts have not retreated but improved a lot.
Hiding in the pedal, hiding his whole body under the horse's belly, he calmly took off his crossbow and shot a fast burst of shots at the flock of yellow sheep running in front.
The crossbow arrows were like locusts. Short and powerful crossbow arrows were accurately shot from the anus of the running yellow sheep. Also when shooting the yellow sheep, they did not hurt the yellow sheep's fur. The only difference was that Huang Junguo shot faster, and a seven-sequential crossbow shot in the air. He quickly took out another one, and another seven-sequential shooting.
Two crossbows shot in the air, Huang Junguo triggered Ji Kuo on his left arm, and shot out seven small sleeve arrows in a row. After shooting with his left hand, he also had seven arrows in his right hand.
Twenty-eight arrows, arrows are shot without any slightest.
What shocked the Turks even more was speed. Twenty-eight arrows were basically shot continuously, and they just counted their own time before and after. Twenty-eight yellow sheep fell into the snow. Even the crossbow arrows shot into the anus, all hidden in the yellow sheep's belly, and there was no trace of wounds outside.
Seeing the twenty-eight yellow sheep dragged in front of him and the sixteen yellow sheep he shot on the other side, Tongye Hu Xiao Khan couldn't help but be shocked. He rode at Shi Zixu, but he didn't expect that in the Sui people's mission, any general who had never even heard of a name came out, and he completely compared himself. Not only did he shorter time, but he also shot more yellow sheep. Even now he couldn't understand that even if the man carries two crossbows, he wouldn't be able to shoot twenty-eight crossbows in a row, and the arrows were shot without any slightest.
In addition to being shocked, the eyes of the Xiao Khan of the Tongye Army at Zhao Qi's envoys were even more ignited by a bit of fanaticism.
A Turkic knight rushed over and turned over to report in the ears of Tongye Hu Khan.
"What, do you say that the Great Khan has just agreed to an envoy from Li Gui, Xue Ju of Hexi, Zhang Changxun of Longshang, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou of Hedong, Li Yuan and others and others and has concluded an alliance. The Great Khan not only agreed to form an alliance with them, but also made Li Gui, Xue Ju, Zhang Changxun, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan the six of them as Li Khan? And the day after tomorrow, they would send wolf cavalry to go south with them to assist them?" Tongye Hu Xiao Khan looked surprised and screamed out loud.
Zhao Qi, Huang Jungu and others who were originally smiling on the side immediately changed color when they heard Tongye Hu's words.
Zhao Qi hurried forward, "Khan, don't know what the news is? Can you tell me?"
When Tongye Hu Xiao Khan saw Zhao Qi's anxious look, he felt relieved and said with a little regret, "Just just now, my people sent a message that the Great Khan had just reached an alliance with the other six envoys of the Sui Kingdom. Not only did he reach an alliance with the six families, he also added the positions of the six khans, and he also sent troops eastward to support them. Alas, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on taking Brother Zhao to hunt, it wouldn't have delayed you. Maybe Lord Zhao could have reached an alliance with the Great Khan just now, but don't worry, I caused this matter. I will definitely go back and ask the Great Khan to make him an alliance with your family."
The north wind blew over the grassland, and Zhao Qi's heart suddenly became cold. Unexpectedly, the Turks agreed to the request of the six families so quickly. When they thought of coming to the Western Regions from thousands of miles away, they had only one in the end. As a result, Zhao Qi felt discouraged and extremely disappointed. He stood quietly in the snow, not knowing how to send a letter to King Chen to report this matter.
Tongye Hu Khan was still there pretending to be enthusiastic about going back with him and making up for an alliance.
Zhao Qi smiled bitterly, "Khan has nothing to know. I am here to come to the Western Regions under the orders of His Majesty and His Highness the Minwang. Although we are also here to form an alliance with the Great Khan, our alliance has a premise, that is, the Khan cannot form an alliance with any other forces in the Central Plains, and we cannot send troops south to the Central Plains. Now the Great Khan has formed an alliance with the other six parties in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that the mission we are here will have failed."
Tongye Hu Khan was excited when he heard this, pretending to comfort him, "Maybe there is still room for recovery. Otherwise, I will ask for the Khan again. Although the chance of recovery is very small, how can I know if I don't try it?"
Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't wait to rush back to the tent with Tongye Hu Khan to ask for the meeting of Shekui Khan.
But as a result, he was told that Da Khan was infected with wind and cold and could not see guests.
Zhao Qi still didn't give up, and then asked for a visit for three consecutive days for three days, but the result was that Da Khan was still in poor health and could not meet guests.
Zhao Qi was helpless and turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw the golden tent lifting, and Li Yuan's envoy Liu Wenjing actually came out of the tent. Seeing Zhao Qi frowned, he couldn't help but sneer and walked forward, "Isn't this Lord Zhao from Hebei? Why, I'm here to see the Great Khan again? I advise you to go back to Hebei earlier, the Great Khan will not see you."
Zhao Qi looked at Liu Wenjing coldly and replied, "I wonder why Lord Liu is happy about? Are you happy that your master, Li Yuan, the regicide, was surrounded by Yang Ming, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and three sides, and is about to be destroyed? Although Li Yuan, the regicide, is a shameful person, is willing to sell his ancestors to the Turks and pay tribute, but unfortunately, the reinforcements that Lord Liu borrowed will not be able to make the life of the regicide. I just don't know where Lord Liu will go at that time? My Lord Chen Wang praised me in the world. It would be better to surrender to my Hebei earlier. Maybe I can still maintain the wealth and honor of the second half of my life."
Liu Wenjing's face was gloomy and far away from the Central Plains. Due to the continuous snow since winter, he had already lost contact with Li Yuan in Hedong for a long time. At this time, he didn't know whether Zhao Qi's words were true or not, but he was still a little worried. Finally, he glared at Zhao Qi fiercely, and swung his sleeves and left quickly.
Although he blocked Liu Wenjing with words, the mission failed in the end. Zhao Qi sighed and lowered his head to move forward.
"Brother Zhao."
A familiar voice came from behind him. Looking back, it was Tongye Hu Khan who came from behind himself.
"Khan, this trip to the Western Regions has failed and it is not convenient to stay for a long time. He plans to return to the Central Plains tomorrow. He was planning to tell Khan apart, but he didn't expect to meet him here."
"Are you leaving?" Tongye Hu Xiao Khan smiled. "Maybe I have another way to help you complete this mission."
Zhao Qi was shocked and moved, "Now I can't even see the big Khan, so don't joke."
Tongye Hu Xiao Khan whispered, "I can really help you, but I also need your help. If you and His Highness Chen, who is behind you, are willing to help me, then I will help you with the purpose of your visit this time."
"So you're serious?"
"really."
Zhao Qi looked directly at Tongye Hu Khan, frowned and pondered.
Tongye Hu whispered, "This is not a place to speak, come with me."
The two turned left and right and came to a large tent with hay piled up. Zhao Qi was surprised to find that in this simple tent of forage, more than a dozen nobles with the Khan Tents of the Western Turks gathered here.
Seeing this secret place, when I looked at these nobles and Tong Yehu's careful appearance.
Zhao Qi suddenly smiled, and he smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.
But no matter how conspired he was, he could not have been able to come. At present, the mission in the Western Regions has fallen to death. If there were no accidents, it would never be possible to change the decision of the Shekui Khan. However, since he arrived at the Khan Court, this little Khan, who has been actively contacting him, was definitely a breakthrough point.
He didn't care about any conspiracy within the Turks. All he needed was to cancel the alliance between the six forces including Shekui Khan and Li Yuan, and to reach a new alliance with the Liaodong Army. As long as he could complete his mission and let the Liaodong Army get what His Highness Chen wanted, everything was worth it. Even if he had to be in danger, he would never retreat. When his elder brother Zhao Yue died for King Chen in Luoyang, he could only rise to his current position and make his family rich. For the family and for the elder brother, he had to join the plan of Tongye Hu Khan. (To be continued)
