Ashina Gutuoru arrived much faster than everyone expected. Almost as soon as everyone decided on the strategy to defeat the enemy, the soldiers guarding the north wall had already seen the wolf-headed banner representing the Turkic Khan.
What is unbelievable is that Ashina Gutuoru only brought a dozen guards with him. He also stopped his war horse at a distance to show that his trip was not for fighting.
"What are you talking about? He only brought a dozen or so people with him. Aren't you afraid that we would rush out and chop him up?" Dugu Lin couldn't believe the news Zhang Gongjin sent and asked with his eyes widened.
"It is true that there were only about twenty riders, and there was some smoke and dust further away, but they stopped five miles away. He asked General Li by name to come out of the city to speak." Zhang Gongjin carefully sorted out what he saw and heard, and gave a positive answer.
One of them seems to be a woman, covering her face with tulle!"
"It's Tao Kuo who is taking off his silk!" Xuzi stood up quickly, as if a heavy hammer hit his heart. Ashina Gutuolu knew what method was most effective, so he ignored his own face.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Xu, some with surprise written on their faces, and others with smiles. Women going to the battlefield was absolutely new to the Central Plains people. Bringing a woman to talk to the enemy general, did he want to use it?
Will the beauty come in exchange for the Silver Wolf King?
"I'll go out of the city to see him!" Under the attention of everyone, Xuzi nodded gently. What was coming could not be escaped after all, and he knew that he would have to face this moment sooner or later. What happened to Tao Kuo's stripping?
Are you still as happy and willful as before? Suddenly, Xuzi heard his heart beating wildly. But at the same time, two figures, one strong and one soft, squeezed in, blocking the shadow of Tao Kuo in his heart.
It's Zhen'er and Erya, one is as gentle as water, the other is as hot as fire. Bathed in the gentleness of water and fire, Xuzi's heart slowly no longer feels pain. Those old wounds have long been healed, although
A scar was left, but no more blood would bleed.
'No, that woman is Zhong Jian's old sweetheart!' Luo Shixin, who had read flowers all over the place, saw the expression on Li Xu's face changing rapidly and immediately realized the whole story. 'No wonder the second brother Qin didn't approve of Xu Zi leading Gan Luo to charge into the battle.
.If I were to meet my old confidante again, with Zhong Jian’s temperament, I really wouldn’t be able to bear to raise the knife!'
"I'll accompany Zhongjian to meet him for a while!" Luo Shixin shouted while thinking about his own thoughts. He stood up and thrust his helmet through the armor as quickly as possible.
He was not the only one with strong curiosity at this moment. Li Shimin, Zhang Hong, Changsun Wuji and others were all eager to give it a try. Even Dugu Lin, who currently held the highest position, couldn't help but want to go out of the city to see what was going on in person. But their good intentions were rejected by Xu.
Zi refused, "I'll just take Gan Luo out. It's right at the gate of our city. I'm sorry they don't dare to cause trouble!"
With a black knife in his hand, a Ganluo by his side, and a war horse at his hip, more than twenty enemies could not do anything to Xu Zi. Luo Shixin looked at Uncle Qin Baobao with a pleading look, but the latter only gave him a gentle
Shaking his head. "Oh, it's boring!" Luo Shixin, who had no support, slammed his helmet on the table and sighed.
"If you are willing, you can watch the enemy plunder for me from the top of the city!" Xuzi smiled again and said.
"Of course!" Luo Shixin heard Xu Zi relent, and his whole body immediately regained his vitality. "Don't leave in a hurry, I'll go find a three-and-a-half-stone strong bow!"
"Just your archery skills!" Everyone laughed loudly at Luo Shixin's clueless look and joked together. What Xuzi said was indeed a good compromise, which could not only satisfy everyone's curiosity, but also
Not to be looked down upon by the Turks. After tidying up, everyone came to the north gate with Li Xu and Gan Luo. Dugu Lin ordered people to open the city gate for Xu Zi and arranged more than 30 cavalry in the gate.
, after everything was arranged, he accompanied the others and walked up to the watchtower.
The autumn sunshine is very bright, adding a bit of brightness to the scenery outside the city. Under the blue sky, Xuzi slowly leaves the city gate with a pile of snow-like ganlu. The people of Ashina Gutolu are about 30 meters away from the city wall.
A certain distance away, as if he deliberately did not want others to hear what he said. At the same time, in order to reassure the people in the city, when he saw Li Xu riding alone to meet him, the Turkic Khan with a heavy army immediately ordered his guards to go far away
Move away.
Everyone obeyed the order and stepped away, including Tao Kuo, who had a light blue veil covering his face. Xuzi could clearly tell from the figure that the person behind the veil was the one who had been with him on the grassland that day, smiling.
Tao Kuo's silk hair spread all over the Crescent Lake. We haven't seen her for a few years, and her figure is taller than before, and she is more enchanting. In Xu Zi's eyes, Tao Kuo's silk hair back then was just a string of slightly...
The green dove flower is now like the same mountain rhododendron in full bloom. It has a different style, but it is still so beautiful that the sunlight above it instantly loses its color.
Gan Luo also discovered his mistress, and he ran forward happily for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, and turned back to eagerly seek the opinion of his mistress. "Go ahead." Looking at Gan Luo's longing eyes, Xu Zi smiled.
He said. Then, he saw a bright white lightning crossing the black wilderness, leading his sight to the feet of Tao Kuotosi.
"Gan Luo!" Tao Kuo jumped off her horse and hugged Bai Lang as warmly as before. The moment she came into contact with him, her gauze was blown off by the wind, revealing a clean face full of joy and excitement.
.
"It's bad. I was deceived by others without even saying a word. This kid has no determination at all!" Luo Shixin, who saw everything outside the city, was so angry that he smashed the city wall. "I should have known that the other party was using beauty.
We shouldn't let Zhong Jian come out. If Ash Na's stinky bones turn the horse's head now..."
"Brother Zhongjian happened to shoot him in the back. Within a hundred steps, did you see anyone who escaped from Brother Zhongjian's eagle feather?" Dugu Lin had more confidence in Li Xuyuan than Luo Shixin and others, and said with a smile. "Look,
The angle of Brother Zhongjian’s bow pouch and quiver is absolutely different from the position he usually carries!”
With their hearts in their throats, everyone took a look at the awning, and sure enough they found that Xu Zi's bow and arrows were placed behind the saddle in a very easy to reach position. "Yes, this is how he placed his shot at Li Mi that day. His surname is Li.
That fool thought he was smart, but Zhong Jian shot him off his horse with an arrow from behind, leaving him lame and disfigured. He can't see anyone even now!" Luo Shixin suddenly realized, took back the hand that was beating the wall, and instead touched his palm to celebrate.
.
They couldn't hear what Xuzi was saying to Ashina Gutuolu, but they didn't have to worry about their comments being heard by the other party. Especially Luo Shixin, who was simply worried that the world would be in chaos. "If Brother Zhongjian puts Ashina at this time
Stinky Bones has been shot to death, can you bring the woman and the wolf back together?" He suddenly realized that this idea was brilliant. It was so close to the city gate, and with Li Xu's skill and Heifeng's foot power, it could definitely be done further away.
Before the army on guard could respond, they safely withdrew to Guo County.
"Shixin, don't just mess around, take a closer look at what Ashina Gutuolu Khan is doing?" Qin Shubao was slightly disdainful of Luo Shixin's tasteless suggestion, pointed to the city, and ordered.
Luo Shixin obediently closed his mouth and watched the situation below the city with everyone. "Ashina Stinky Bones", he didn't want to call the other person by his full name, so he made a nondescript nickname to show his contempt, "Ashina Stinky Bones"
Bones is arguing with brother Zhongjian. It seems that he wants Silver Wolf, but his wife is reluctant to part with it!" Whispering quietly in his heart, Luo Shixin attached his long arrow to his strong bow.
The Turkic guards who were watching also reacted, pulling out their machetes and shaking them in the air to demonstrate. But they were all silenced by the woman with the wolf, and no one dared to step forward to help their khan. Luo Shixin came from the city
Looking up, you can clearly see Ashina Gutuoru gesticulating with his arms, as if he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to really fight with Li Xu, and he looked very embarrassed.
"...80,000 troops..." The wind faintly carried the distant quarrels to the top of the city. Stinky Bones actually spoke in a very authentic Central Plains dialect, which made people feel more and more itchy. Luo Shixin could guess that Ah
Shi Na Na Gu tried to threaten Li Xu. But Xu Zi's behavior had always been very calm. No matter how the opponent showed his teeth and claws, his right arm was always pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist, so that he could relax.
He had imagined meeting Tao Kuo countless times, and every time, Xu Zi's mind was in a tidal wave. But when they actually met, he found that the so-called excitement only happened when he was alone. Today.
For a moment, I felt very peaceful, just like the lake on a calm day. All the ripples only appeared the moment the stone fell. After the ripples dispersed, they became calm in an instant.
"Actually, Zhen'er looks nothing like her!" Listening to Ashina Kotoru's meaningless threat, Asahi slowly came to a conclusion that was far from the point. The so-called similarity may be the same as when they first met.
It’s just a feeling. Tao Kuo Tuosi is Tao Kuo Tuosi, and Qier is Qier. There is almost no overlap between them.
He knew that he had finally let go. The regrets of the past had long since drifted away like smoke. What he remembered now was only the happiness in the process of growing up. The silly boy and the sunny little girl on the grassland had long been with the young people on the grassland.
The wild flowers that bloom and wither every year become the scenery in my memory. Maybe there is an occasional cluster that looks familiar, but it is definitely not the same one from back then.
As long as you hold it in the palm of your hand and feel happiness, why does it have to be that flower or that person back then? Xuzi doesn't know when he put it down, but he knows it's not now. Now, he feels every ray of the autumn sunshine.
Full of hope. It is happiness that can only be shared with the closest people. People who have not experienced it cannot feel it. He turned his eyes to Tao Kuo Tuosi again and saw that the other party was playing with Gan Luo, one person and one wolf, like siblings.
Like them, they were playing around and being intimate. Gan Luo was happy when he was with Tao Kuo Tuosi. But Gan Luo on the battlefield was not, although he looked very fierce in front of the two armies.
"You, what are you going to do?" After baring his teeth and claws for a while, Ashina Gutolu asked angrily. Finding that Xuzi's eyes had strayed from the direction, he looked back at Tao Kuo Tuosi warily, "No, absolutely not.
!No, Tao Kuo's silk is mine and cannot be exchanged!"
"Don't worry, I won't take your Tao Kuo off the silk!" As if he was very satisfied with the other party's performance at the last moment, Xu Zi's tone finally showed a hint of relaxation. "You must withdraw your troops alone, with your wolf cavalry and
Those tribes under your jurisdiction in the east of the desert withdraw from the Central Plains!" His tone was very firm and did not allow the other party to bargain. "After other Turks have withdrawn, you ask people from the Khitan Yuling tribe to come to Yanmen Pass to take Gan Luo back. Who?
If you can catch it, your Ke Dun will know it!" (To be continued)
