"Master Marquis, are you really still alive? The sky has eyes, and God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Tang Jian hugged Xiao Rui excitedly, then realized what he was doing, and quickly urged: "No, you shouldn't have come, leave quickly, there is no need to save us …”
Zhang Shigui said dissatisfied: "Hey, have you abused the Duke of Ju? See how you tortured people?"
Zhao Deyan spread his hands and made an expression as if he didn't blame me.
Xiao Rui held down Tang Jian and comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid. I have made an appointment with Jieli Khan to face each other on the battlefield. Today, I am here specifically to pick you up."
Turning around, he cupped his hands towards Jie Li and said, "Great Khan, everyone is here, so I'll take my leave first. When we meet on the battlefield someday, neither you nor I will hold back."
"Okay, let's settle all grudges together." Jieli agreed generously.
Qin Huaidao reminded: "Brother Xiao, where is the prince? The prince hasn't come yet and is still being held in a prison car."
What? ? ?
Xiao Rui looked at Zhao Deyan with unkind eyes, "What do you mean? How do you do things?"
Forehead……
Zhao Deyan said awkwardly: "Master Marquis, didn't you say you would only save the envoys?"
Xiao Rui scolded sternly: "I am saying, how can we lock our people in a prison car?"
Phew... everyone was almost shaken to their core.
Zhao Deyan smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Lord Marquis. If you hadn't rescued these people today, they would all be sacrifices who would be killed. It would be nice to have a prison car."
We... Qin Huaidao and others wanted to argue, but found that there seemed to be no reason.
Xiao Rui turned to Jie Li and said, "Great Khan, I am not the prince of the Tang Dynasty as a sacrifice, right? Please give him enough courtesy."
Jie Li smiled, "That's natural, military advisor. Since the Prince of Tang is your student, he will live and eat with you from now on. You can arrange and take care of him."
"As commanded."
Xiao Rui cupped his hands towards Jie Li and said, "Goodbye, see you on the battlefield!"
Jie Li signaled to Zhao Deyan: "Commander, please send the champion to me for this Khan."
On the way out, Zhao Deyan apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, for not being able to take good care of His Highness."
Qin Huaidao said angrily: "You were clearly the one who locked up the prince on purpose. Brother Xiao, I'm sorry. We accidentally let out the news that you were alive and he overheard it."
Xiao Rui chuckled and said: "You? You don't even know that I'm alive. Is it Cheng Qian? This boy has been deceived all the time. Military Master Zhao, since you have accepted the post of Grand Tutor of the Tang Dynasty, how can you Teach well with some snacks.”
Forehead……
"Master? I don't dare to..."
"You are the prince's teacher, what are you if you are not a tutor? For the time being, you have no real name. When the Turks are destroyed, I will help you live up to your name. Thank you for your help today, and I will say goodbye."
Here……
Zhao Deyan couldn't argue, and looked at Xiao Rui with a wry smile as he led the people away. He thought to himself that this person was really difficult to deal with, so he might as well send him away quickly. If he stayed a little longer, he didn't know what trouble he might cause.
On the way, Tang Jian asked in confusion: "Master Hou, why don't you take the prince with you? They clearly want to blackmail the prince..."
Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I don't want to? It's a risk to rescue you. It's better to let your majesty save this kid Cheng Qian and teach him a lesson."
Only a few people knew that Xiao Rui had lost all his martial arts skills and what he was doing today was an empty city plan.
Zhai Changsun said in a low voice: "Master Marquis, you lost your momentum just now and scared Jie Li out of his wits. The right virtuous king of Turks was suppressed on the bench like mud, unable to move. If you say that you have lost all your martial arts, I'm afraid. No one believed it.”
What? Lost all your martial arts skills?
Tang Jian and others' faces were full of horror. Only at this moment did they realize that what had just happened was really dangerous. If Jieli finds out, not only one person will be unable to be saved, but everyone present may die.
"Brother Xiao, it's all my fault for making you take such a risk..." Qin Huaidao couldn't help but shed tears.
Liu Jinyuan thought to himself that he owed his benefactor another life.
Old Tang Jian burst into tears and sighed without saying anything.
At this moment, the sound of horns came from the rear of the Xuanjia Army. Everyone looked behind them and panicked for a moment. A group of men and horses came out from the Turkic camp. Looking at the number, they were at least 20,000.
Zhai Changsun cursed angrily: "Damn it, the Turks are unfaithful. They agreed to decide the outcome on the battlefield. What do you say now? They started chasing us as soon as we walked two miles away?"
"Could it be that Jie Li realized he was cheated?" Li Junxian guessed.
Zhang Shigui gave an order, "Xuanjia Army, line up to meet the enemy! The rear team becomes the front team, the front team becomes the rear team, and prepare for the front line!"
Xiao Rui cried out in his heart, "What is going on? I don't think Jieli is a person who goes back on his word? Why would he send people to chase him? It's over, as long as there is a battle, if I don't take action, my flaws will be seen. Today, I'm afraid It’s hard to be kind.”
Tang Jian drew out the scribe's sword and urged: "Master Hou, the Xuanjia army is blocking them. You can leave quickly alone. Leave the green hills behind without worrying about having no firewood, and you will avenge us in the future."
Fang Yiai held a pair of hollow bright silver octagonal plum blossom sledgehammers, stood up and said in a naive voice: "Brother Xiao, I will protect you, and you will definitely be able to escape."
He has a simple and honest personality and cannot learn martial arts that are too sophisticated. It took him a year to learn a set of sword techniques that wrap around his head and brains, so Xiao Rui taught him a simpler hammer technique, which requires one strength to reduce ten skills. And a pair of giant hammers were tailor-made for him.
Each hammer head is as big as a road blocker in later generations. If it were solid, Fang Er couldn't swing it, so it was made hollow, so it has a moderate weight, can be hit and carried when swung, and can also be used as a shield. It couldn't be more appropriate.
Xiao Rui laughed and scolded: "What are you running for? Is there any reason to escape in front of the battle? For now, the only way is to fight for a chance of survival. Go, rush into the battle in my place, make the arrows of the sharp formation, kill the opponent, kill them I'm too scared to pursue you again!"
Fang Er smiled naively, nodded in agreement, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the front. He rarely uses his brain to think. He usually does what Brother Xiao says.
The Xuanjia Army had just changed from the rear team to the front team, arranged their formation, and when they immediately started to counterattack, a shocking tiger roar came. All the horses on the battlefield were restless, and the formation was immediately disrupted. Even the 20,000 Turkic cavalry who were charging became confused, and many horses were even frightened and fell to the ground. The offensive stopped immediately, and they could no longer charge forward for sneak attacks.
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment and turned to look at where the sound came from. Several familiar figures came into view.
"Well, I couldn't find you all the way. I didn't expect that in the end, you, this girl, saved my life."
In the distance, Xiao Changle was riding a tiger, running and shouting: "Brother-in-law, don't be afraid, we are here to save you!"
It turned out to be Xiao Changle, who had been following Xuan Jiajun at a distance. She even followed Jie Li this time because she knew her brother-in-law was among the crowd.
The Xuanjia Army had entered the Turkic camp before, and she was hesitating whether to follow them in. While she was still debating, the Xuanjia Army came out again. But before they had gone far, the Turkic cavalry came out to chase and kill them. This angered Changle, so many of you are bullying your brother-in-law? Do you want to be shameless?
So he gave the order, no longer hiding, and rushed out with the three beasts. The white ape and the panda are just fine. The new little brother, the eye-catching white-fronted tiger, is not sure whether he is strong in combat, but his aura is definitely strong enough, especially the natural power of a king. A tiger's roar can have a powerful effect on ordinary beasts in the world. Absolute bloodline suppression.
No, as soon as he showed up, he interrupted the offensive of the Turkic cavalry.
Although the Xuanjia Army does not form a formation and belongs to a map cannon skill that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, it suits Xiao Rui's wishes. He does not want to actually take action. In that case, the empty city plan will not be possible.
