Turks, steppes, eagles roaring in the sky.
The eagle soared in the sky over the grassland, and suddenly swooped down to the Turkic tent, staring at the people coming.
A large number of guards gathered outside the tent. When they saw someone coming, the guards quickly stepped forward and shouted, "What are you Han Chinese from the Central Plains doing here?"
The visitors were Gongsun Yang and his entourage from Wu Xing Palace. His confidant Tianwu Captain Mu Lian pulled out his two swords without hesitation and said coldly: "Open the door for me."
The two leading guards raised their axes and shouted angrily: "Where do you think this is?"
Mu Lian smiled disdainfully, holding the knife in both hands and said: "If you want to survive, put down your broken ax quickly, or protect your neck with your hands, or get out of here."
Being ridiculed by a Han man, the two became furious and struck at Mu Lian with their axes.
Mu Lian smiled coldly, which was exactly what she wanted. She could do something but not speak.
He easily avoided the first guard's chop, turned half around, and used his strength to kill the guard with his sword.
Another guard came around behind Mu Lian at this time, holding the ax tightly with both hands, raising it high, and slashed it down hard. Unexpectedly, Mu Lian didn't even turn around, and held the two swords directly behind him.
In this way, she resisted the Turkic guards who were much larger than her.
Mu Lian squatted down slightly and kicked off the guard with her right foot. She blocked the guard and slashed him in the middle. She also easily eliminated the second guard.
One sword at a time, this is Tianwu captain Mu Lian.
The other Turkic soldiers were furious when they saw this. They were killed by a foreigner in their own territory. This was absolutely unacceptable to them.
"Prepare bows and arrows!"
The Turkic soldiers immediately lined up in a row, drawing their bows in unison, ready to shoot at Gongsun Yang and others.
Mu Lian gritted her teeth and said: "A bunch of idiots!"
If she hadn't been worried about missing the Young Palace Master, she would have wanted to go up and kill all these people.
The people in the tent said: "Let them come in."
Gongsun Yang also stepped forward and said calmly: "Mu Lian, step back."
Without any hesitation, Mu Lian immediately retreated behind Gongsun Yang and followed him into the tent.
"Long time no see, Gongsun Yang."
One of the leaders of the Turks, Taishi Zuobei, was stringing his bow.
Although the position is Grand Master, unlike the Central Plains, the Turkic Grand Master is not a civil servant. Zuo Bei's figure is very strong, perhaps only Zhuang Fangliang can compete with him.
Gongsun Yang said calmly: "It's been a long time indeed. I was worried about whether the grand master would encounter any trouble at first, but now it seems that I am worrying too much."
Zuo Bei snorted coldly and murmured: "Grand Master..."
Zuobei, the Turkic Grand Master, was the one who integrated countless tribes and merged them, which led to the rapid expansion of Turkic power.
Nowadays, the Turks' military strength is strong enough to compete with the Central Plains and the Northern Liao Dynasty, which advocates force.
He stood up slowly and walked towards me like a giant. He looked down at Gongsun Yang and said with disdain on his face: "Do you think the title Grand Master is suitable for me?"
Although Gongsun Yang was slender, he only reached the shoulders of Zuo Bei. At such a close distance, he couldn't help but raise his head and replied: "What you said sounded like you wanted to become a khan."
Although he raised his head, his tone was still calm and his expression was indifferent, as if he was not moved at all.
Zuo Bei laughed and said: "With the current situation, nothing is impossible."
"If you really think so, then you should stop the unnecessary disputes and please stop unnecessary actions."
"You mean the Treasure Palace?"
"You knew it was Jubao Palace and you still did this?"
Gongsun Yang asked rhetorically.
Zuo Bei pulled the bow and felt that the string was on well. He did not answer Gongsun Yang's question, but asked again: "Or should I pretend not to know?"
Gongsun Yang's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Is this what my father meant?"
Zuo Bei did not answer, but handed over the bow in his hand and said: "Can you pull this bow? According to legend, the bow used by Taizu was the same as the one I have in my hand, and was made of ivory. "
He slowly pulled the bow string and said in a deep voice: "Even if the current Great Khan inherits the blood of Taizu, who else in this world can pull this bow except me?"
"Who is truly worthy of this bow?"
Zuo Bei pulled hard and released it, and a strong wind blew directly into Gongsun Yang's face. He sneered and said, "Although you have the blood of the Northern Liao royal family, aren't you hiding in this hundred thousand mountains now?"
"What's the difference between you and me who don't have the blood of the Yuan royal family and can only live as a Taishi?"
After Zuo Bei finished speaking, he turned around and said, "Go back to your father and tell him this."
After he finished speaking, Gongsun Yang slowly held the sword in his right hand and cut off the bow string with sword energy in an instant.
Gongsun Yang said coldly: "If you can't have it, you have to learn how to destroy it."
"I heard that King Yu Qian of Zhenbei led troops south to the Central Plains to blockade the capital. Grand Master, you took the current prince as a hostage, just to provide an excuse for others to rebel."
The sword was in the scabbard, Gongsun Yang still held the hilt with one hand, and said calmly: "Master, do you want to become the Khan of Beiyuan? I advise you to do your duty first, the affairs of the Central Plains, Our Mingjiao will handle it ourselves."
Without waiting for Zuo Bei's reply, Gongsun Yang turned around and said, "I will assume that you will release those imprisoned Mingjiao believers, and I will convey this to my father."
He slowly pulled out his sword, but before he could swing it, Mu Lian's hands were already slashed twice.
"Let's use this to offset the rudeness today."
Gongsun Yang immediately left with Mu Lian.
Zuo Bei grinned and looked at his leaving back. He couldn't help but sigh to himself that he was really a disobedient wolf cub. It seemed that Gongsun Huai was also walking a dangerous path.
"Mrs. Xue!"
"The little one is here."
Zuo Bei said proudly: "I want to tell the world that I want to become a khan. First of all, I will sacrifice the prince."
Instruct his men to go to the prison together.
…
At sunset, the lake surface sparkles, and the setting sun on the edge of the cliff is parallel to the lake surface, emitting its last afterglow.
Gongsun Yang sat on the ground, looked into the distance and said, "Go directly back to Wu Xing Palace."
"yes!"
Mu Lian did not hesitate at all, but Gongsun Yang refused: "Sit down, you haven't stopped bleeding yet."
Mu Lian was stunned and said: "Ah, I, it's okay with me."
"Are you planning to let everyone know where the Ming Cult is when you return bleeding along the way?"
Gongsun Yang said sternly: "Sit down first to stop the bleeding. This is an order."
There was a rare emotion in his tone.
Mu Lian, who had not shed any tears when she was stabbed by the sword, could not help but shed tears at this moment. She choked and said, "Thank you, sir."
Gongsun Yang sighed and said: "This matter is just for the reputation of the so-called descendants of the royal family. You don't need to thank me."
Seating system.
This is a curse and bad habit inherited by the descendants of the Northern Liao royal family. Their responsibilities will be placed on their closest subordinates, and the other party will be punished on their behalf.
Even if Gongsun Yang was rude to Zuo Bei, even if he wanted to admit his mistake, he could only use his sword against Mu Lian.
Gongsun raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, his eyes confused, not knowing where his father wanted to go.
"who is it!"
The Tianwu team members shouted loudly, holding the hilt of the sword, ready to take action at any time. Gongsun Yang turned his head and looked, and saw a man in black robes and red clothes walking towards him wearing a mask.
At this moment, someone suddenly arrived, which naturally aroused the Tianwu team's alert.
Gongsun Yang stared at him, secretly wondering if this person was lost?
If he was lost like this, why did he appear on this secret road between Shiwanda Mountain and the Turks? Moreover, the mask and clothes he wore looked like the special costumes from the Western Regions.
"Can I take a break here?"
The Tianwu team member did not let down his guard easily and said coldly: "Take off your mask first and show your identity."
Gongsun Yang was a little surprised that the other party actually spoke Chinese.
The visitor was none other than Bai Xiuping. He shrugged and chuckled, "I'm just a wanderer on a long journey."
Bai Xiuping was also surprised. He didn't expect to meet Gongsun Yang again in such a place. He was a little curious about the reason why these people were here.
Seeing that Bai Xiuping had no intention of taking off his mask, the Tianwu team members scolded: "How do you expect us to believe what you say? Anyone who looks at your appearance will find it strange!"
"Actually, I have scars on my face, which is inconvenient."
Bai Xiuping still had an indifferent attitude.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yang stared at him for a moment, then turned back and said, "Make a place for him to rest."
The people in the Tianwu Team were very surprised, but Gongsun Yang had already spoken. No matter how worried they were, they did not dare to say anything more.
Bai Xiuping chuckled and said, "Thank you then."
After finding a place to sit down, he discovered that Mu Lian, whose hands were bleeding in the distance, was staring at him even though she was injured.
Gongsun Yang is known in Mingjiao as a cruel evil ghost who doesn't even spare the souls of the dead. It's really strange that such a person would stop to rest just because his subordinates were injured.
Bai Xiuping sat next to Gongsun Yang and asked curiously: "Where did you come from?"
