[Latest report] Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of Qidian, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift bags and school bags, you must watch the 515 red envelopes this time. There is no reason not to grab the red envelopes. Set your alarm clock~
Zhao Hongrun and others hurriedly carried the injured Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli to a tent, while Wang Jun, the chief of the imperial clan, quickly took off his prince's shirt and pulled out the crossbow bolt stuck in his shoulder blade.
"Brother Wang, how is Uncle Six's situation?" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but ask.
Wang Jun applied the golden sore medicine on his prince, then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead due to fright, and said with relief: "God bless me, that crossbow arrow did not hit the vital part, fortunately."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's anxious mind relaxed a little. But beside him, Princess Yulong couldn't help but asked after she wanted to say something but stopped, "If the injury is not serious, why is Uncle Sixth Prince unconscious?"
Woolen cloth?"
Looking at her worried and doubtful look, Wang Jian gave a wry smile and said comfortingly: "Princess, don't worry, your prince will be fine. I thought that he would wake up after he rested for a while."
After that, he signaled to Zhao Hongrun in a low voice and said: "King Su, regarding the situation outside, I would like to ask His Highness Prince Su to come down and take charge of the overall situation."
"I understand."
Of course, Zhao Hongrun understood what Wang Jun meant. It seemed that the latter was worried about the group of horse thieves leaving and returning, so he hoped that Zhao Hongrun would make preparations as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun turned around and left the tent.
After walking out of the tent, Zhao Hongrun saw the Huben guards who came to support and were assisting the men of the Qingyang tribe to put out the fire. Then, they carried the bodies of the horse thieves together.
Looking at the corpses of the horse thieves, Amutu, the leader of the Qingyang Tribe, looked very sad.
It's no wonder, after all, the corpse of the horse thief on the ground only had his tools, and in order to kill this horse thief, the Qingyang tribe paid a heavy price several times.
I saw him taking a few deep breaths to calm down. Then he said gratefully to the Tiger Guard behind him: "Thank you so much for coming to the rescue. If you hadn't led the people to come to the rescue, I'm afraid our Qingyang Tribe would have faced a crisis."
A greater disaster."
The Huben Imperial Guard was a village leader responsible for leading fifty soldiers. His name was Qiu Wu. After hearing this, the man quickly waved his hands and said humbly: "The leader of the Qingyang Tribe spoke harshly... I'm sorry, we can't
You arrived in time, how can you help?"
"What are you talking about?" Amutu shook his head. He knew very well that if this group of well-armed Wei Kingdom Tiger Guards hadn't arrived, that group of horse thieves would never have retreated easily.
It can be seen that the commander of the Imperial Guard named Qiu Wu is a very humble and rigorous officer. He did not feel complacent because of Amutu's gratitude, but immediately asked about the attack on the Qingyang tribe.
And he squatted down and searched the corpses of the horse thieves, trying to find objects that could prove the identities of these people.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun led the guards to them because he did not recognize Qiu Wu, the commander of the Huben Imperial Guard. He omitted the title and asked: "Did you find anything?"
Qiu Wu looked up at Zhao Hongrun and quickly stood up.
Zhao Hongrun did not recognize Qiu Wu, but Qiu Wu recognized His Royal Highness Prince Su. He quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Qiu Wu, the humble commander of the Hu Ben Army, pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Su."
"Without courtesy." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and asked repeatedly: "May I ask Commander Qiu Wu, have you ever found any objects that can prove the identities of these people from their corpses?"
"Never found it. Except for this..." Qiu Wu frowned and shook his head, handing the object in his hand to Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun took a closer look. Only then did he realize that what Qiu Wu handed over was actually a small horn flute.
"It's really..." Amutu, the leader of the Qingyang Tribe, looked at him, his eyes widened, and he said with a puzzled look on his face: "This is the siren used by our Yi tribe to warn people. These damn guys even want to rob this?"
"
Rob?
Looking at the horn flute on his palm, Zhao Hongrun had an incredible guess in his mind. He put the horn flute into his mouth and blew it gently.
Sure enough, the horn flute made the same sharp sound as before.
That gang of horse thieves was by no means a mob. They had just set fire to the Qingyang Tribe’s tents. In order to create chaos, they were killing people non-stop. There was never any sign of them robbing the Qingyang Tribe’s property... This horn flute is really
Did the thieves and horse thieves snatch it from the hands of the Yi people? If so, it would be fine, but if not, it would be bad...
Zhao Hongrun carefully looked at the horn flute in his hand and secretly guessed.
He didn't notice it at first, but now looking at the horn flute in his hand, how could Zhao Hongrun be sure whether the sharp siren he heard at first was blown by the Yi people after being attacked, or by these horse thieves for their own sake?
What about making false claims in the east and attacking in the west, deliberately confusing the public?
They actually know how to make false claims in the east and attack in the west. It seems that this group of horse thieves has a great commander... Hmm? Make false claims in the east and attack in the west?
Zhao Hongrun's expression changed, and he looked at Qiu Wu, the Huben Imperial Guard, in shock, and saw that the latter felt even more confused.
not good……
A flash of fear flashed through Zhao Hongrun's heart, and he asked in a low voice: "Qiu Wu, has our Wei camp been attacked?"
Qiu Wu looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, shook his head and said: "Reporting to His Highness King Su, we have not been attacked. These horse thieves seem to be targeting the Shen people..."
"Damn it! You have fallen into a trap!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately interrupted Qiu Wu and said in shock: "Hurry back to the defense. The target of those horse thieves is our Wei people's camp!"
"What, what?!" Qiu Wu was shocked when he heard this, and asked in horror: "His Royal Highness, Prince Su, are you... can you be sure?"
Zhao Hongrun said nothing, but recalled the attack just now with a gloomy expression.
He remembered clearly that after the horse thieves arrived at the Qingyang Tribe, their first purpose was to set fire to the Qingyang Tribe's tents and create chaos, and the second was to kill people. Moreover, after Qiu Wu led fifty Tiger Guards and arrived to provide support,
, the horse thieves quickly evacuated.
In fact, it stands to reason that even if Zhao Hongrun's side has the support of fifty more Huben guards, it will still be able to fight with the strength of those dozens of horse thieves.
But the other party simply withdrew without any intention of lingering.
Doesn't this mean that their attack on the Qingyang tribe was actually just a trick?
So that's it, that's it... The purpose of this group of horse thieves in attacking the Yi people is to force the Huben guards in our Wei camp to disperse and go to support...
Zhao Hongrun's expression became more solemn.
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. After all, the meeting between Wei Guo and Yin Rong was actively invited by Wei Guo. Therefore, Wei Guo did it either for the host's side or to avoid Yin Rong's influence on them.
Doubtless, we must ensure the safety of these Yi people here.
Obviously, the guy who commanded the horse thieves most likely understood this and deliberately attacked the camp of the Yi tribe first, because in this way, the Wei State would send the Huben Imperial Guard to rescue. And once the Huben Imperial Guard
As the Yi tribe dispersed to rescue various tribes, the defensive strength of the Wei camp would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"What a cunning guy!"
Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth bitterly. He didn't notice it at first, but now after thinking deeply, he was shocked to realize that the leader of this group of horse thieves was most likely a guy who knew military strategy.
"Qiu Wu, I order you to notify all the Huben Imperial Guards who have been sent to support us and immediately return to the camp to defend our Wei people!" Zhao Hongrun ordered with a stern face.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was not joking at all, Qiu Wu straightened his face, clasped his fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
After that, he took out a black horn from his arms, took a deep breath and blew it.
Speaking of which, the sound made by this horn is very strange. It is not a war horn, but a whine-like sound with a single tone.
When the horn sounded throughout the entire camp, the Huben guards who had come to support each tribe of the Yi tribe were stunned when they heard the horn.
For example, the fifty Tiger Guards who rescued the Aries Tribe. The head of the village, Gongliang, was not grateful for the gratitude of the Aries Tribe chief. When he heard this strange horn sound, his face revealed
A look of surprise.
Back-up? Which guy blew the ink horn?
Gong Liang listened carefully and finally found the direction from which the strange sound came.
He asked the leader of the Aries Tribe in front of him. Only then did he learn that that direction was the Qingyang Tribe's campsite.
Qingyang Tribe, it was Qiu Wu who was responsible for supporting... Was it Qiu Wu who blew the ink horn?
Gong Liang was a little puzzled. You know, they were ordered by General Li Zheng, the president of the Three Guards Army, to rescue various tribes of Sheang people. But why did Qiu Wu disobey the order and use a siren to call them back for reinforcements?
Gong Liang did not believe that Qiu Wu dared to sound the alarm for no reason and signaled all the Huben guards to return to the defense. But what if he responded to Qiu Wu and the order of General Li Zheng, the president of the three guards?
Just when Gongliang was hesitating, he suddenly thought of something.
Wait a minute... Talking about the Qingyang Tribe, it seems that Prince Liu and His Highness Prince Su are both there.
After a while, Gongliang seemed to have found his backbone. Without saying a word, he took out a dark horn from his arms, put it to his mouth and blew it.
His joining made the Huben guards who remained in the other tribes no longer hesitate and retreated from the local area to their own campsites.
In fact, several pairs of Huben guards who had not even sensed the Hei tribe made a decisive decision when they heard these warnings and quickly turned around and returned to the support camp.
And this weird horn also alerted two big shots.
One is Li Zheng, the president of the Three Guards Army.
He looked in surprise at the direction where the call for reinforcements came from, frowning and thinking for a moment, then a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately ordered the Huben guards who were staying in the camp.
"There is an army of thieves who want to attack this place, so the whole army is on guard!"
The other person who was alarmed was the middle-aged man who was regarded as the "boss" among the horse thieves.
At this time, he was leading the horse thieves under his command to gather from all directions and attack the Wei people's camp, but the strange warning sound made him frown.
Is this reaction...too fast?
This man who was regarded as the "boss" by the horse thieves, no, should be said to be the great thief Huan Hu, had a hint of surprise on his usually calm face.
He suddenly realized that someone had seen through his plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"Interesting, who could it be?"
Huan Hu touched his chin and immediately glanced at the Wei camp, which was just around the corner.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit close..."
