It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without seasonings, Tang Ning couldn't cook delicious grilled fish.
But he has even eaten dry and woody wolf meat. Compared with this, fish meat is already good.
Tang Ning first let Wan Yanyan eat half, and then he ate the other half, and then put out the firewood. Although they got rid of the pursuers, it did not mean that they were completely out of danger. He knew that those behind him had not given up yet and were walking along the road.
The river looks for them both.
They were searching separately at first, but after two people were left alone and were destroyed by Tang Ning and Wanyan Yan, they gathered together again.
The night in the grassland was very cold, but both of them were in good physical condition. He and Wan Yanyan made a grass nest by the river and spent the night taking turns keeping watch.
After catching two pursuers yesterday, Tangning learned from their mouths the mastermind behind the incident.
The eldest prince had an undercover agent in the Wuyan tribe and sent more than a hundred warriors from two tribes to chase them. Among them, those whom Lao Zheng stopped were from the Pucha tribe, and those who chased them halfway were from the Tushan tribe.
Tang Ning and Wan Yanyan walked up the river, sighed softly, and said, "Your elder brother is so cruel to you..."
Wan Yanyan lowered her head and said: "My eldest brother is the same as my father. They only have power in their eyes. My father killed all his uncles and many tribal leaders for the sake of the Khan's position. The same goes for my eldest brother..."
Tangning saw her depressed expression and comforted her, "Don't be sad, I'm not much better than you."
The best way to comfort a person who is in a miserable situation is to tell her that you are in a worse situation than she is. It is not enough to just tell her that she should be positive no matter how hard life is.
Wan Yanyan was indeed attracted by his words and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
So Tang Ning told her about his miserable experience in the eyes of others. After Wan Yanyan heard this, she gritted her teeth in anger and said angrily: "They went too far!"
"So, you can only rely on yourself in life..." Tangning glanced at her and said, "You are just a princess by others, but you can become a Khan by yourself..."
Not long after he finished speaking, several voices came from behind.
"There are signs of fire. They just passed by here."
"The fire hasn't gone out yet, and they haven't gone far!"
"Chase!"
…
The grassland is open and often windy, so sounds can travel very far. The sound from behind is very subtle, which means that the other party is still far away from here, but we can't relax.
Tang Ning looked at a grassy slope on the river bank and said, "Go there for shelter."
This is how they avoided the pursuers along the way. If they gathered together, the search area would be narrowed and they would not be found. If they spread out, they would be taken care of by Tang Ning and Wan Yanyan. The other parties would also divide and combine.
Eventually they were divided into two groups, with each group limited to twenty people.
These twenty people are the most powerful warriors in the tribe. If there are only ten people, Tang Ning and Wan Yanyan can barely fight. If there are twenty people, the two of them will have no choice but to run away...
The two of them had abandoned their horses long ago and were hiding behind a grassy hill. Listening to the footsteps walking away by the river, Tang Ning whispered: "One team passed by, and there is another team. We can't go further along the river, otherwise
Sooner or later they will be caught..."
Wan Yanyan thought for a while, looked up at the sun, looked left and right, pointed in another direction, and said: "Go this way, fifty miles to the northwest, there is a river..."
Tangning was stunned for a moment, looked at her and asked, "Don't you know the way?"
"I...I suddenly remembered." Wanyanyan's eyes rolled around and she said, "I remembered that my mother-in-law took me here to play when I was a child..."
This is a matter of life and death, so we can't be careless. Tangning looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you remember correctly?"
Wan Yanyan waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, we are on the same boat now, how could I harm myself..."
When Tang Ning and Wan Yanyan were slowly moving forward in the northwest direction, Wuyan tribe and Ayina looked at a man and said angrily: "Hu Bo, why did you betray the fourth princess!"
Just today, the Wuyan Department conducted a detailed investigation and finally identified the person who leaked the whereabouts of the fourth princess.
The man panicked and said, "It's not me, it's really not me..."
"Stop pretending." Aina looked at him and said, "The fourth princess has known for a long time that you are the eldest prince's son, but I didn't expect you to be so bold..."
When the man heard this, a look of surprise finally appeared on his face, he turned around suddenly and ran out of the tent quickly.
However, as soon as he ran out of the big tent, within a few steps, his body trembled, and then he suddenly fell to the ground.
The arrow pierced through the back of his neck, blood foam poured out of Hu Bo's mouth, his eyes widened, and he did not close his eyes unwillingly until his death.
Ah Yue put away her bow and said with a stern face: "The princess and the consort have not been found yet. Dozens of members of the Tushan tribe, including their leader, are missing... What does the Khan say?"
Ayina said: "The Pucha tribe has deservedly died for its rebellion. We will no longer hold other members of the tribe accountable for their crimes. We are ordered to find the fourth princess as soon as possible..."
Ah Yue asked: "What about the eldest prince?"
Aina clenched her fists and said, "The eldest prince was not mentioned."
Ah Yue was stunned, and then said angrily: "Pucha is a tribe under the eldest prince. This matter must have been instigated by the eldest prince. Why don't you go and investigate the eldest prince!"
The middle-aged woman stood up and said: "Because he is the child of Khan..."
Ah Yue said: "Isn't it the fourth princess?"
"Because he is the eldest prince." The middle-aged woman glanced at her and said, "Because he is the next Khan recognized by the Khan. To the Khan, all the princes and princesses combined are not as good as him.
.”
Ayue looked indignant. Ayina looked at him, shook her head and said: "Let's find the princess first..."
…
The assassination of the fourth princess and the betrayal of the Pucha tribe was a major event for the Sushen clan.
The Pucha Department is under the command of the eldest prince. Whether this matter was instigated by the eldest prince is also one of the focuses of everyone's attention.
When everyone was waiting for the Khan to investigate the matter thoroughly, the Khan took the matter lightly, which surprised many people.
This matter was obviously what the eldest prince said. The Khan's inaction was acknowledgment that the eldest prince could take action against his brothers, and it also made his position clearer.
If you think about it carefully, the Khan's hands are stained with the blood of many brothers. It is reasonable for him to be so tolerant of the eldest prince.
If the fourth princess doesn't come back, I'm afraid it won't be long before the tribe in her hands will be re-assigned to the eldest prince or the third prince, just like it was to the second prince.
Inside the eldest prince's tent.
"The people in the Pucha Department are all trash!" The eldest prince said with a very ugly face: "Dozens of people could not catch two people, and they were all killed. Why did I choose such trash..."
A man stepped forward and said anxiously: "Prince, if we do this, will the Khan blame us?"
The eldest prince glanced at him and said: "You still don't understand, he doesn't care about our life or death, as long as someone can inherit his position in the end..."
In another tent, a person behind the third prince looked at him and said: "The Khan is too biased towards the eldest prince..."
"Who is more ruthless?" The third prince sneered and said: "Assassinating the fourth sister is nothing. To be ruthless, Wan Yanchu is not ruthless enough..."
