Tuya felt that she could no longer exert any strength, so she knelt down on the top of the mountain of corpses and cried loudly. She never dreamed that she could survive until the reinforcements arrived. She cried for a long time.
The girl regained her composure, barely held up her weak body, and staggered towards the battlefield where the battle was still taking place ahead!
This move was just because her mind was always occupied by a lingering thought, and she needed to ask Mu He in person.
At this time, the Muhe Allied Forces had fought to less than a thousand men. The increasingly disparity in strength made them completely lose the room to continue to maneuver. They could only stretch out the weapons in their hands and stare at the imperial guards surrounding them.
The Beida Army did not allow their men and horses to continue to bully them. Suddenly, after hearing an order, the Saxue Cavalry, which was constantly tightening the encirclement like a giant wall, stopped strangulating the enemy and stood still on the spot. Yuan Ti
Then he rode out of the formation again and looked at the bloody grassland people in front of him with some pity:
"The situation is over, you surrender now. Surrender, and you can go back alive to see your parents, wife and children!"
After hearing what the old general said, even the Shuodi warriors with the most determined hearts could not help but abandon their troops and armor and completely gave up resistance. Now, they seemed as if they had just crawled out of the pool of blood, and no one of them was without their body.
Scars. And the faces of each of them were filled with endless exhaustion and desire to survive.
However, Muhe still shook the saber in his hand and rushed forward alone: "As long as the Buck Wuqin family is still alive, even if there is only one person left under Canglang's banner, I will never surrender!"
Hearing just a local sound, Yuan Ti effortlessly used his long spear to fly away the saber that was attacking in front of him. He then swept the gun barrel across the air and hit the opponent hard on the left rib, knocking him back several steps in a row.
At the moment, the wound on Mu He's shoulder had already re-opened, and the black wolf fur cloak on his body was soaked with blood. Blood drops dripped along the wolf hair and fell to his feet, but he still struggled to stand firm.
His body refuses to fall down. This old man who has been fighting for many years on the grassland is now like an old wolf that has fallen into a trap. Although he knows that he cannot escape, there is still a fierceness in his eyes that refuses to admit defeat.
"Legend has it that the descendants of Cang Lang and White Deer founded the Muyun Tribe, so why do we have to fight to the death of both parties now? No matter what the previous disputes were, they were already a matter of the previous generation. It's better to turn the conflict into friendship——"
"Blood feud is irreconcilable. If you want to kill, just kill, no need to talk nonsense!"
Facing Yuan Ti's persuasion, Mu He still refused to give in. He actually took a step forward and pressed the tip of the opponent's spear against his chest. Seeing that he refused to repent, Yuan Ti couldn't help but sigh and put the spear in his hand.
Pulling back half a foot, he gathered his strength and was about to stab forward. Unexpectedly, before he could exert his force, he suddenly heard a clear voice of a woman coming from behind:
"Old General, wait a minute, don't kill him!"
Everyone on the field was stunned and followed the sound, only to see Tuya, who had cut her hair short, wielding a scimitar full of gaps, standing not far away panting. Behind her, Wan followed.
When the Muyun tribe came out of the city of Garhai, the banner with the white deer painted on it was still fluttering in the wind, although it was covered in blood.
"Hmph, people from the Bakwuqin family, please stop pretending in front of me! Even if I, Muhe, die today, there will still be grandchildren who will continue to avenge me!"
"Then what?"
Tuya just asked coldly, "You blame my father for killing your child, and then you do everything you can to avenge the Bakwuqin family and the people who stand under the White Deer flag? Today, countless young people are unclear about this.
If they died on this battlefield, who should their descendants take revenge on in the future? Is it possible that in your eyes, hatred should continue like this from generation to generation, endlessly?"
"All the sacrifices made today will be attributed to the Bakwuqin family!"
"Since I can't convince you, let them try."
Facing the roaring opponent, Tuya shook her head helplessly, and then stepped aside. Only then did Mu He, who was wearing black wolf skin, see an embarrassed woman standing in the crowd behind the girl.
, he was also holding two muddy children in his hands, who turned out to be his married wife and two grandchildren!
"Shameless guy, actually taking my blood relatives as a hostage!" Mu He's eyes turned red, trying hard to suppress the anxiety and anger in his heart.
At the same time, I heard the woman opposite say loudly: "After the camp was captured, Meng Dun ordered people to escort us to retreat, but on the way we met Qihe Xiu of the Oma tribe. This is what you call a good son-in-law, good
Our allies actually want to take us, our grandparents, as hostages, as a bargaining chip to sue for peace with Muyun and Yubei in the future! Thanks to Old General Yuan Ti, we are still alive standing in front of you and talking to you.
!”
Mu He still didn't believe this: "Shut up! If it weren't for Tie Qin who wanted to rebuild Tiezhong Mountain back then, how could our Pei'er go south to Yujing and die in a foreign country! The Bak Wuqin family was the one who killed our son.
The murderer, Yuan Ti is their loyal lackey, how could he be kind enough to save you!"
"Pei'er went to Yujing back then. Actually, it's not the Bakwuqin family that's to blame, but you yourself should be blamed!"
"Blame it on me - myself?!"
Mu He couldn't help but be stunned by his wife's words. He wanted to refute, but saw the woman in front of him handing over his two grandchildren to Tuya, walked slowly to him, and persuaded softly:
"Back then, Pei'er was just as competitive and ambitious as his father. Rebuilding Tiechhong Mountain was the top priority of the entire Muyun tribe. As the legitimate son, how could he turn a blind eye and stand by?"
"But I had already banned Pei'er from going south with those young people. Unexpectedly, Tieqin insisted on having his own way and actually ordered those young people to set off overnight! When I saw Pei'er again, he was already a cold corpse without breathing.
Got it!"
"Have you never thought about why Pei'er disobeyed your order and still joined the centurion team that went south? As a father, you have always been strict with him, and he also wanted to do the best in everything.
Okay. The more you forbid him to go, the more he wants to prove it to you! After setting off overnight, it was actually Pei'er who falsely conveyed Tie Qinhan's will. And all of this was because he, as the legitimate son of the Bolewu family,
He really wants to be recognized for his achievements! It’s also because he doesn’t want to disappoint your father!”
His wife's words finally made Mu Hefan wake up. In fact, he had always known in his heart that all his hatred for the Bakwuqin family stemmed from the inability to recover the past losses. But over the years, he had not chosen to face her.
Yes, but chose to escape and blame.
Mu He's hand holding the saber finally loosened up. He had been holding his neck like ice on a fire. Suddenly his knees collapsed and he fell to the ground and cried loudly.
The all-powerful elder seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years. Tears rolled down the gorge-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the tattered Wolf Flag behind him also collapsed.
"It's me - wrong! I am the sinner of the Muyun Department! Please give me a death, princess! I just ask for someone to take good care of my wife and two grandchildren, so that they can continue to serve the Muyun Department!"
Mu He burst into tears and stretched out his arms to prostrate himself in front of Tuya. The girl turned her head and glanced at Yuan Ti on the horse in a tacit understanding, then stepped forward and reached out to help the other person up:
"It's better for you to take care of your family by yourself."
Mu He raised his head in surprise, as if he didn't believe that the last bloodline of the Bakwuqin family in front of him could spare his life so easily.
But Tuya just smiled and shook her head: "Since Grandfather Hongji was on the throne, Uncle Muhe has been an important minister in the clan. If I kill you, wouldn't I break my own arm? Besides, the Muyun Department cannot only have white deer without wolves.
.Now that our unit is waiting for a comeback, we must not and will not allow any more meaningless sacrifices!"
Mu He was completely moved by the girl's generosity, and with tears streaming down his face, he once again kowtowed to the girl respectfully: "Princess, please do me a favor! From today on, Mu He and the generals under Cang Lang are at your disposal at any time, even if you die!"
A long-lost smile finally appeared on Tuya's face, but there was still obvious sadness in that smile: "It's not necessary to die, but now I have something to ask. I don't know if he will be Yan -"
"In the previous battle, although Xinhan was defeated, he was rescued by a group of wild horses that broke into the formation."
"Where have the horses gone now?"
After learning that Jiang Yan was indeed not killed in battle, Tu Ya immediately felt happy. But when she was about to continue questioning, she saw Mu He shaking his head. Suddenly, there was a thump in her heart, and she fell into endless despair again.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came forward from the Saxue Cavalry formation, stood behind the girl, and touched her head. Tuya was startled, and quickly turned around to look, only to see a pair of pure black like
Mo, with circles of white watery eyes, was looking at himself and smiling slightly:
"I promised you I would come back, how could I break my promise so easily?"
Tuya was stunned for a moment, then turned around, threw herself into the other person's arms, and burst into tears:
"Then why didn't you come back earlier? Do you know how scared, lonely and desperate I am..."
"Although I was rescued by a group of horses led by Wu Chen, there were only a few dozen people in Tiezhong Mountain who survived. Even if they rushed to the gate of Garhai City overnight, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not save the emergency. I thought about it and decided to go first.
Go to the south, wait for the arrival of reinforcements led by General Yuan Ti, and then fight back with him..."
Jiang Yan looked at the tribesmen surrounding him with some embarrassment. He wanted to get away from such public intimacy, but Tuya hugged his waist tightly and couldn't push him away at all.
Yuan Ti also got off his horse and saluted the two of them respectfully:
"Although the Muyun tribe today has experienced this catastrophe, it is a blessing in disguise. Not only did Xinhan and the princess remain unscathed, but the knot between the Bakwuqin and Bolewu families was also solved. There is also good news for them.
Position: Just now, the messenger sent by the old minister has sent back the news. The leaders of Yimu and Qingzi have agreed to form a blood-based alliance with our tribe and respect Muyun as the leader! The envoys they sent will also be here soon.
Go to Hulantai and pay homage to Princess Xinhan!"
"Yimu and Qingzi?"
Jiang Yan and Tu Ya had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They didn't know what happened to Yuan Ti, so they could convince the two tribes to agree to form an alliance again so quickly. But after learning the news, there were people holding up Cang Lang and
Waves of earth-shaking cheers erupted among the warriors under the White Deer banner:
"Long live Tianhehan! Long live the princess!"
The cheering crowd hugged each other, announcing that the previous war with heavy casualties was now a thing of the past. Now, except for the Oma tribe, three of the five Shuodi tribes have surrendered and formed an alliance, plus the horses Wu Chen brought back
As a new addition to the mounts, the Muyun tribe, a tribe that was suffering from serious internal strife not long ago, suddenly gathered a powerful force that was unmatched on the grassland!
"Old General, what method did you use to convince Yu Bei to send troops for me?"
Tuya, who still didn't know how to face all this, approached Yuan Ti and asked in a low voice, a little at a loss. Until now, she still couldn't believe that what she saw in front of her was not a dream, and she pinched herself twice with her hands.
Down.
Yuan Ti's expression looked a little solemn. He pulled the girl aside and explained in a low voice:
"Princess, you should know that this time Yubei sent Saxue Cavalry to rescue, they had to cross the Pinjin River. This move is really against the promise made by Zuoqiu and your grandfather Hongji during the truce sixty years ago.
.Besides, if such a huge southern army goes deep into the hinterland of Yanluo Plain, how can it be done without some preparations in advance?"
"Old General, aren't these Saxueqi here to help us? Why do you sound like you regard them as a threat that Muyun cannot ignore? Could it be that Yimu and Qingzi agreed to form an alliance, and with this
Doesn't it matter?"
Tuya had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Sure enough, what Yuan Ti said next further confirmed that her guess was not groundless:
"Princess, you don't know. These knights in white clothes and white horses you see in your eyes are all the elites of the Saxue Cavalry. They can't be invited just by the old minister's sharp tongue. This time, they are actually from Yubei Kingdom.
The master issued an order requiring him to protect the princess well——"
"Master Yubei, why are you suddenly concerned about the safety of my distant cousin?"
"Princess, although the current leader of Yubei Kingdom's surname is Zuoqiu, his single name is the same character!"
"Grandfather Zuo Qiuque!? Wasn't it him who sent his mother to the Muyun Department back then! How is he still alive in the world? And he continues to sit in the position of the leader of Yubei?!"
Hearing the name that Yuan Ti said, Tuya couldn't help but change her face on the spot. She didn't have the slightest fondness for the grandfather who forced her mother to go north to get married, so she immediately asked him viciously.
"This matter - it's a long story. Princess, Xinhan, I would also like to ask you two to come with me. The envoy from the North is waiting for you in the tent behind the formation."
Yuan Ti, however, didn't speak clearly. She simply explained a few words and got on her horse. She also ordered two military horses to be brought in for the two of them to ride.
Tuya felt that her heartbeat was getting faster and she hesitated to pull the reins. Suddenly, she saw Jiang Yan next to her giving her a comforting look. She understood that she could not escape this level now, so she had to force herself.
With the help of the old general, he mounted his horse with his scalp on his head, followed behind him, and ran anxiously towards the Imperial Army of the North in the distance.
