Chapter 17 Discovery of Deeds

The tent of the Turkic king was brightly lit, and the dyed dry face was staring at an iron arrow on the table. The poison of the arrow had been dissolved by Shi Shuhu and Huxi's blood, and there was no longer the light of the blue scales. On the iron arrow shaft, the five words "Yang Yuanqing's Arrow" were extremely conspicuous.

In the middle of the tent, Anulli and Asudo knelt on the carpet. Asudo lowered his head and said nothing. The eldest son Duji stood by the big tent with a blue face and stared at the two sisters fiercely. The three brothers and sisters were born to the same mother and had a very close relationship. But at this time, Duji hated Asudo to help outsiders and ruined the opportunity of Dongtu Jue to dominate the grassland.

Anulli stepped forward and said, "Father Khan, I instigated my sister to do this. She is ignorant, but I understand that I am willing to accept all the punishments from Father Khan."

"No!"

Asdo raised his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Anulli. I overheard the conversation between my father Khan and Shi Shuhu Husi. I like Yang Yuanqing. I don't want my father Khan to kill him. I told him that I stole the golden arrows of my father Khan, and I will bear all the punishment."

"You are bold!"

Duji next to him became furious and pointed at his sister and shouted: "Stolen the golden arrow of his father's father is a death sentence. Do you think it's just a small punishment?"

Asduo's face turned pale. After a while, she bit her lip and said, "Even if it's a death sentence, I'm willing!"

"alright!"

Rangan waved his hand and interrupted the quarrel between the three brothers and sisters. He said to Asdo, "The eagle on the grassland will not kill their children, nor will I, but stealing Khan's golden arrows is a heinous crime. If I don't punish you severely, other chiefs will be dissatisfied. I will punish you for imprisonment for three years in another account."

Anulli was shocked. Losing freedom is second only to the punishment of execution, which is too severe. She kowtowed and begged: "Father Khan, my sister is young and ignorant, please spare her this time!"

Asdo pulled his sister, "Anuli, Father Khan imprisoned me in another account, not in the dungeon. This is the greatest kindness to me. Don't make things difficult for Father Khan anymore."

She kowtowed to her father, "Asdo is willing to accept punishment from his father Khan."

Rangan nodded. "Get packed up your things! Three years later, you are still my beloved daughter."

Asado kowtowed three times to his father. He turned around and left. Anuli was worried and chased after him.

Duji watched his sister walk away, and his anger faded a little. He felt a little unbearable when he was imprisoned for three years.

"Father Khan, what should we do now? Will we lead the troops to chase after him?" Duji turned around and asked Father Khan again.

Rangan glanced at him coldly. "Shi Shuhu is very dead. Even if Yang Yuanqing doesn't kill him, I will kill him. Do you understand?"

Duji understood that his father was actually referring to the fact that he sent troops to kill Yang Yuanqing without hesitation. He did not dare to talk back and lowered his head.

Rangan saw that the eldest son, who had always been violent, did not talk back, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared a little, and he said slowly: "Duji, you are my heir. I hope you are not only brave, but also have a mind and vision so that you can lead the tribe to prosperity. I know you are not willing to be controlled by the Sui Dynasty. Actually, I don't want to. I would rather sit side by side with Yang Guang like a friend, rather than kneeling down and submitting to him. But now it is not possible. We are not strong enough, and our wings are not plump, and we cannot look down on the top of the mountain like an eagle. Therefore, I did not agree to Shi Shu Huxi's suggestion to kill Yang Yuanqing. He is the Sui envoy. We cannot kill him, but Shi Shu Huxi betrayed me. He let Yang Yuanqing know my injustice, and the Sui Dynasty will know sooner or later."

"But my father Khan, it's Asdo, it's not Shi Shuhuxi."

Rangan shook his head, "Asduo is just a child, with a simple heart, and he is determined to save his lover. I won't really blame her, but Shi Shuhu Huxi has selfish intentions. When he accepted Datou's bribe in Harry Lake, I did not pursue him. But this time, in order to get Yi Shibo's heavy thanks, he wanted to kill Yang Yuanqing with your hand. Do you know why he wanted to kill him in person? Because he killed Yang Yuanqing, he directly took his head to Xue Yantuo for rewards. He would not come back again, you were used by him."

Duji looked ashamed and lowered his head again. He wanted to say that he would go after Yang Yuanqing and kill him halfway, but now he dare not say anything.

Rangan seemed to know his son's thoughts. He smiled and said, "I know you want me to chase Yang Yuanqing and kill him halfway. Princess Yicheng won't know. If you still think so, then my words just now will be in vain."

"Duji is dull, please tell me clearly!"

Rangan nodded and continued, "If Yang Yuanqing didn't know, I might be able to kill him to silence him, but he already knew that, and he was so stupid to wait for me to chase him? He must be prepared, and they have camels who can run in the deep snow, but we can't. More importantly, Yang Yuanqing did not break up with us, and there was room for relief."

Duji was stunned, "How did Father Khan know that he didn't break up with us?"

Rangan picked up Yang Yuanqing's iron arrow, "He only shot Shi Shu Huxi to death, but did not kill you. This is because he did not break up. He knew that his identity was the Sui envoy, and he knew that the matter was not serious enough to break up with the Sui and Turkic break. Killing Shi Shu Huxi was just a warning to him. Do you understand?"

Duji lowered his head, "I understand."

"Go! Don't be so reckless in the future, discuss with me."

"yes!"

Duji bowed and left the tent.

Rangan narrowed his eyes and stared at the tent and pondered. Now he had a new idea. If he joined forces with Qie, he could kill Xue Yantuo first, and the Sui army could cooperate, and then he turned around and ate Qie.

It seems that it is necessary for him to betroth his daughter A Mi to Qie Gelan's son first, but Yang Yuanqing's side.











Rangan sighed, hoping that he could escape the interception of Xueyantuo people.















It was already dawn. After two days of rapid march, they had already left the Turkic tent far away. There was no need to rush to march anymore. The Sui soldiers slowed down and walked slowly on the snowfield.

After walking for more than ten days, they gradually approached Yinshan. The New Year has passed. Now it should be the first year of Daye. The Sui Dynasty is immersed in the joy of the prosperous era of the new emperor Kaiyuan. This Sui army is still struggling hard on the vast snowfield.

That afternoon, next to a small forest, the Sui army set up a camp tent. The surrounding area was covered with white areas, and there was no other color for thousands of miles. This was a huge psychological pressure on people. There was already a black line in the distance, that is, Yinshan. After walking through Yinshan for another four or five days, they could go home.

However, the yellow sheep and red deer that often appear by the forest bring them a sense of vitality, so that they will not feel so lonely. The Sui army soldiers have enough food and a lot of beef and mutton, enough for them to eat for a month. The Sui army soldiers also showed mercy and did not want to hurt these grassland life that brought them a sense of vitality.

The advantage of the Mobei grassland is that there are many forests. After traveling for more than a hundred miles, you can encounter a small forest, which provides them with enough fuel to keep warm.

The Sui soldiers lit twenty bonfires and began to gather together to grill mutton, cook tea and drink, chat and laugh loudly, maintaining optimistic and vigorous energy.

The other two hundred people were training riding and shooting in the distance. They lived on camels for nearly a month, and each of them was able to ride camels very skillfully. Along the way, they practice riding camels, divided into two armies to conduct confrontation exercises, winning the lottery to relieve the boredom of the journey. In this month, they have become an excellent camel cavalry, which has given Yang Yuanqing the idea of ​​training a camel cavalry.

Yang Yuanqing sat on a big rock, looking at the soldiers from afar training to ride and shoot, but was thinking about something else in his heart. They were now facing two threats.

The first is camel food. Although people have sufficient food, camel's forage has become a problem. Although Luoluo is very patient, it must be supplemented regularly. A few days ago, they fed the camel a little grassroots dug out of the snow. Unexpectedly, some camels began to feel uncomfortable and died three camels, making everyone afraid to feed the grassroots under the snow.

I could only send a scout out to find the Turkic tent and see if I could find the grass.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing thought more about Xue Yantuo. Asduo told him that Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi had also made a plan, which was to leak his news to Xue Yantuo and let Xue Yantuo intercept him halfway. Yang Yuanqing believed that Rangan would most likely use this strategy and chase him in the Turkic tooth tent. It should be that Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi did it without authorization.

After all, he was the Sui envoy. After killing him, Princess Yicheng would know that Rangan could not explain to the Sui Dynasty. Rangan was a very cautious person. He would never do this unless he had to. It is very likely that the news would be leaked to Xue Yantuo. This is more hidden. Rangan can also bribe Xue Yantuo. He could also rely on this matter to Shi Shu Huxi, who had been killed by him. It was Shi Shu Huxi who did it without authorization.

Yang Yuanqing's eyes turned to the Yinshan Mountain Line a hundred miles away. He was sure that Xue Yantuo was already waiting for him to fall into the trap.

"General!"

The soldiers' shouts came from afar, "They are back!"

When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw the fat fish and several soldiers rushing from a distance on camels. Yang Yuanqing stood up and knew from the fat fish's face that was full of smiles and blooming, he knew that they would gain something.

Since Fat Fish left the Turkic Tooth Treasure, he has become a different person, working very hard. He has been rushing to do the scouts along the way, trying hard to please himself.

Yang Yuanqing didn't know how he and Yuchi were talking, but this kid really wanted to win his sweetheart, and the road was still very difficult and long. Yuchi's engagement was his biggest hurdle, and he might not be able to get over it.

"General!"

The fat fish rushed over and shouted loudly: "A little more than thirty miles west, we found a small tribe of Qiezi, with hundreds of people."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. He thought it was a Turkic tribe, how could it be a Qiebi tribe? How could they appear here? But as long as there is a tribe, there is a fodder, and their camels were saved. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, all of us! Let's go to the Qiebi tribe as a guest."
