Su Tu couldn't believe it: "You are threatening me with the lives of civilians?"
Mingwei lazily said: "Why, is there something wrong?"
Of course not! Don’t the people of the Central Plains claim to be benevolent and righteous? What’s more, they have encountered countless herdsmen on the road these days. She has always chosen to avoid them and has never taken action!
"This time, that time." Mingwei said as if she knew what he was thinking, "It is easy to kill those herdsmen, but their cattle and sheep tents are not easy to deal with, and their whereabouts will be exposed. Now you have caught up with the Seventh Prince.
, I have no choice but to make use of it, right?"
After saying that, the little girl's cry echoed in the tent, mixed with the woman's begging for mercy.
Su Tu shook his riding crop hard and said angrily: "It's useless for me to look at you so highly, you turn out to be a shameless villain too!"
Ming smiled: "If being a villain can save my life, I don't mind being a villain. The only one who wins is to survive. There is nothing if you die. Seventh Prince, make a decision quickly. After all, you are ignoring the lives of your people.
Or let us live?"
"Prince!" a warrior shouted loudly, "the people of God cannot be threatened by foreigners. If they die, we will avenge them!"
Just as he finished speaking, screams rang out in the tent, and a splash of blood splashed onto the tent, making it red.
Mingwei said faintly: "Don't challenge my endurance. If I have to die, of course I have to pull a few backers."
Su Tu looked gloomy, holding a riding crop in one hand and pressing the sword with the other, furious.
But he restrained himself in the end. After a while, he said: "You let him go, and I will be your hostage!"
As soon as these words came out, the barbarian warriors shouted: "No, prince! Your life is more precious than theirs, how can you exchange it for theirs?"
"If you insist on going, then I will go!"
"No, I'd better go!"
A group of barbarians started fighting over it.
Ming Wei in the tent laughed: "This is interesting. I thought that the prince was just learning the culture of the Central Plains and was just joining in the fun. How could I be so benevolent? How disrespectful and disrespectful. But does the seventh prince think I am a fool? In terms of force, you are not inferior to me.
What's more, in terms of physical strength, how can I, a weak woman, compare to a young man in my prime? If I take you as a hostage, I'm afraid I'll lose myself accidentally."
"Then what do you want?" Su Tu wanted to rush in with a knife and cut her into pieces.
I just hate that I was deceived by her appearance. I didn't expect that such a delicate and delicate girl could be so lethal.
If she hadn't deliberately provoked him, maybe he and Princess Yongqing had reached an agreement to successfully unify the eight tribes, and then slowly subdue King Hu, so as to achieve the goal of killing them without any bloodshed.
At that time, as long as the eight divisions unite as one, they can form a powerful fighting force, which can be sustained even if they immediately send troops south.
But what about now? So many people in the Eight Divisions have died, and they are all the most elite warriors. They have a blood feud with each other, and I don’t know how many years it will take to resolve it.
Just thinking about it made Su Tu feel his heart bleed.
How many people are there in the eight tribes of Beihu? Because they are strong enough in battle, they dare to go south to knock the pass every time they gather tens of thousands of troops. However, the population is also sparse, and it is almost impossible to recruit more than 100,000 troops. The most elite troops around King Hu in each tribe
Ten thousand warriors, I'm afraid it will take ten years to make up for it!
Mingwei's voice came out: "What can I do? But please give the prince a chance to escape. After all, living is not easy, and I still cherish this small life."
Su Tu took a deep breath and said, "Even if I let you go this time, you won't be able to escape far. Your route has been exposed, and it won't take much effort to find you."
"Escape only once!" Mingwei's tone was full of sadness, "If you really can't escape, leave my blood on the grassland. Maybe one day, my soul will be able to see the prince's reputation spread across the grassland.
, build unparalleled achievements."
Knowing that this woman was full of lies, Su Tu still felt an inexplicable throbbing when listening to these words. His unparalleled achievements...
He composed himself and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"
"The prince is indeed benevolent and righteous. It seems that you have understood the essence of kingship." Mingwei's admiration came from the tent, "You and your bodyguards should retreat twenty miles and come back at dawn. You will see that their family is well.
"
"Okay." Su Tu agreed, and then said in a deep voice, "If you break your promise, I will chase you to the Central Plains and cut you into pieces!"
Ming Wei smiled and said: "This way of death is not pretty, Prince, you can rest assured."
"It's best!" Su Tu snorted coldly, raised his riding whip, "Back twenty miles!"
"prince……"
Su Tu glanced over.
The guard captain could only respond: "Yes."
More than a dozen people turned their horses and galloped forward. In a short time, they reached the limit of twenty miles.
Su Tu didn't feel sleepy at all, so he sat in front of the fire for half the night, waiting for time to pass.
As soon as it got light, he jumped on his mount and said, "Let's go!"
More than a dozen riders moved forward quickly and arrived at the lakeside where they were yesterday.
The sun has just risen, shining on the calm surface of Lake Noga. The water is sparkling, the birds are chirping, and everything is peaceful and peaceful.
Su Tu lifted up the tent, and when he saw clearly what was going on inside, he felt that his anger was about to boil the lake dry.
"Prince?" the guard asked, "did that woman not keep her promise?"
Su Tu tossed the curtain angrily: "See for yourself!"
The guard raised the curtain and was stunned.
There was no family of herdsmen. The tent was empty except for a few paper figures thrown on the ground. Next to the tent that was splashed with blood yesterday, there lay a dead fish that had been disemboweled...
He was stunned for a while, then came out and asked: "Prince, is it a fake?"
Su Tu's chest heaved, filled with anger.
He has never been teased like this in his life!
"That's mysticism, and I actually believed her!"
If he hadn't been gullible last night, would this woman have been tied into a rice dumpling and thrown on his horse?
"Damn it!" the guard captain begged, "Prince, we will catch up immediately and we must catch her this time!"
Su Tu said nothing and turned back to his horse.
More than a dozen barbarian warriors not only didn't sleep all night, they didn't even bother to eat, so they chased after him on horseback.
As Su Tu said, Mingwei's route has been exposed. Now that she wants to return to the Central Plains, she can only go through Beitianmen and follow them to find their traces.
Galloping all the way, the horses were almost frothing at the mouth, and they finally found fresh horse hoof prints by the water.
"Prince, they are not far away!"
So, the group of people who were originally preparing to rest continued to chase forward.
The terrain undulated and they gradually entered the mountains and wilderness.
The captain of the guard once again found traces: "Prince, they made a fire here." He checked with his hand and was overjoyed, "It's still hot, it's nearby!"
This time it didn't take much effort. They walked no more than a mile and saw Ming Wei comforting his mount.
"Where are you running!" the guard captain shouted, stood up on the saddle, and threw the lasso in his hand.
