Chapter 173: Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas
"I give it to you, and you can let us go?" Zhao Chen said again.
"You have no choice, Zhao Chen, that girl is quite beautiful. You have to know that my subordinates are all..." The Turkic leader looked at Li Ruoshuang with a look of greed on his face.
The other Turkic people also looked at Zhao Chen with jokes.
"You can give you things. They are the eldest sons of Duke Lu and Duke Yi. If you dare to touch us, even if you get the things, you will not be able to escape from the Tang Dynasty."
"And, any of your Turkic bloodlines will definitely suffer an extermination blow." Zhao Chen pointed at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu and said to the Turkic leader.
"Are you threatening me?" The Turkic leader looked gloomy and looked at Zhao Chen fiercely.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Zhao Chen smiled.
The Turkic leader glanced at Zhao Chen and others, and his face looked ugly.
He was extremely angry when he learned about the identities of the two people behind Zhao Chen.
If it is someone else, kill it.
However, if the descendants of the two dukes killed them, it would be impossible for him to return to the Turks alive.
A man came running on a horse behind him and said a few words in the ear of the Turkic leader.
"You Jie Li Khan are still in Chang'an City. After taking things, he can survive and kill us. I can guarantee that Jie Li Khan's head will be hung on the top of the city tonight." Zhao Chen
He said with a smile.
The Turkic leader was silent for a moment before he said coldly: "You guy is a little brave, give me something, otherwise you will definitely kill you today."
Zhao Chen reached out and took out a small cloth bag from the chain on the foal's belly.
"This is the seed, for you." Xiao Bubao threw it at the Turkic leader and was caught steadily by him.
When I opened the small cloth bag, I saw that the rice seeds inside were full and huge, which was indeed different from ordinary seeds.
The Turkic leader hid Xiao Bu Bao and glanced at Zhao Chen coldly.
As soon as he turned his horse's head, he saw a hidden arrow shot from the forest behind him, piercing through the neck of the Turkic leader.
"Let's go!" Zhao Chen turned his horse's head, Cheng Chumo pulled Qin Huaiyu up, and the three of them hurriedly ran towards Wannian County.
Li Ruoshuang rushed over, hugged Zhao Chen's waist, and carried him over. The two of them rode on the same horse.
The foal followed behind, and ran away quickly with his hooves.
The shouts of killing behind him continued until they ran a long way before several people stopped slowly.
"Zhao Chen, how are you?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen and asked anxiously.
This place is not far from Wannian County, and further forward there are the Northern Imperial Army defenses.
Those people dare not chase after them.
"It's okay." Zhao Chen waved his hand, breathing rapidly and his face was pale.
"Do you drink some water first?" Li Ruoshuang handed the kettle.
Zhao Chen waved his hand and stood there, holding the foal with one hand, panting like a cow.
Riding on the horse so hard, he was already out of breath.
"Xiao Qin, hurry up and inform the Northern Imperial Army, and said that there was a group of Turkic people ahead and snatched the seeds of auspiciousness." Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu said.
"I'll go now." Qin Huaiyu stepped on the horse and ran towards Wannian County without stopping for a moment.
The seeds of auspiciousness are of great importance, and the Turks must not succeed.
After a stick of incense, Zhao Chen's expression slowly returned to rosy and his breathing calmed down.
"How do you feel?" Li Ruoshuang asked.
"It's okay." Zhao Chen said.
"It's too dangerous just now, how can you go there alone?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen, and her face was still panicked.
"They are Turkic people. If I don't go, they will not let any of us go." Zhao Chen said.
"We can fight with them." Cheng Chumo was indignant.
"It's too dangerous, I won't let you get into trouble." Zhao Chen led the foal and walked slowly forward.
Cheng Chumo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
A touch flashed across his face, but he returned to his honest expression in the past in a flash.
"Come on, go up and rest, I'll do it." Cheng Chumo held Zhao Chen on the back of the horse, held the reins himself, and walked forward slowly.
Li Ruoshuang led his horse and followed.
After a long time, few people didn't speak.
"The Turkic people were just now. It seems that they have been planning this matter for a long time, and the tavern has been targeted. Otherwise, they would not have known our actions so accurately." Zhao Chen said slowly.
"Is Uncle Fu in danger?" Li Ruoshuang's face was shocked.
Uncle Fu is Zhao Chen’s only relative. If something happens to him, then Zhao Chen…
"Not yet, the Turkic people may be killed. It is probably difficult for the mantis to stalk the cicada." Zhao Chen shook his head.
Even if the Turks were not dead, Zhao Chen would look for an opportunity to clean up them.
What worried Zhao Chen even more was the person who attacked the Turks just now.
They must be familiar with the Turks, that is, they also know that they have seeds.
If they value other things in the future, they will definitely find themselves again.
Zhao Chen didn't want to live such a day when he was missed by the thief.
"Xiao Qin came here with people." Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen reminded.
Several people looked up and saw Qin Huaiyu running towards him in front. Behind him, there were a large group of soldiers from the Northern Imperial Army.
There are estimated to be three or four hundred people.
The general in charge is a black-faced man.
"That's General Yuchi, Duke of Wu." Li Ruoshuang said.
"Brother, are you okay?" Qin Huaiyu jumped off the horse and asked.
"It's okay." Zhao Chen shook his head.
Yuchi Jingde got off the war horse and was shocked by the news about Qin Huaiyu just now.
He only received the emperor's order at noon that if Zhao Chen went to Wannian County, he would do anything convenient.
Although I don’t know what the emperor meant, Yuchi Jingde dared not disobey it.
He was waiting for Zhao Chen to arrive, but he didn't expect Qin Huaiyu to run away and say that Zhao Chen and the others were almost killed by the Turks on the way.
Even the seeds of auspiciousness were snatched away.
Did the auspicious seeds given to Zhao Chen by the emperor?
Then you have to grab it back quickly.
Yuchi Jingde hurried over with hundreds of people.
"You are Zhao Chen?" Yuchi Jingde looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
When he suddenly saw Zhao Chen, Yuchi Jingde was also stunned.
This young man is clearly a copy of His Majesty's youth.
Although his temperament is different, his appearance...
Could it be the illegitimate son left by His Majesty?
Judging from his age, it seems that he is about the same age as the prince, so he shouldn't be!
Yuchi Jingde looked at Zhao Chen and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"I have seen General Yuchi. The Turkic people in front of me may have been killed. Please send someone to chase the murderer. The grain seeds may have fallen into their hands." Zhao Chen bowed and said to Yuchi Jingde.
Yuchi Jingde waved his hand, and a deputy general led the man to the direction when Zhao Chen and the others came.
"Go back to the camp first, we will wait for the news." Yuchi Jingde said.
...
"Mr. Lunqin, news came and he succeeded."
In the west city, someone quickly came to Lunqin's room and whispered.
"Where are the Turks?" Lun Qin said.
"All of them were killed, no one was alive."
"Did you leave any traces?" Lunqin asked again.
"No."
