"Flying Eagle Qu Ao, this time he attacked the Turkic Chamber of Commerce's convoy again and stole five hundred pieces of fine silk?"
"Not only that, he also killed the three disciples of 'Crazy Thunder' He Zhe!"
"Qu Ao's strength has reached this point? What a troubled time!"
Except for Liu Xiahui who is trapped, others looking for Huang Shang will not regard it as the top priority in their lives.
For example, Hu Luguang, as the actual ruler of Jinyang, was very busy with everything to do.
What's more, things have been very uneasy outside the customs recently.
All because of the thief Qu Ao.
Although the former Qu Ao had a bad reputation in Jinyang, the team of dozens of horse thieves under his command was actually just a small fight.
But recently, Qu Ao has changed.
Not only did the team of horse thieves under his command expand to hundreds of people, but their strength also increased greatly, and they killed several Turkic masters with their own hands.
The kind that can be torn in half.
Just a few days ago, he once again robbed the Turkic Chamber of Commerce and killed the direct disciple of the Turkic Imperial Master!
The Turkic Chamber of Commerce is the official organization of the Turkic Empire and has always been the most foodie organization in Jinyang.
No matter how much silk, pottery or pearls are currently very popular among Turkic nobles, they can be purchased in large quantities.
Basically in Jinyang market, it is the strongest predator.
As for the Jianghu forces, they have to step aside.
In the original plot of the Tang Dynasty, the most popular group in the north was the Beiba Gang. The big leader "Overlord" Du Xing had connections on both sides of the Great Wall. The Khitan, Turks, and Goguryeo would all give him face and monopolize the business of exporting goods from Shanhaiguan to the barbarians beyond the Great Wall.
.
But in this day and age, it is impossible for such gangs to exist.
Because the world was not in chaos as it was in the late Sui Dynasty, the Turks were also a complete khanate and were in the process of prosperity.
It extends from the west of Liaohai Sea in the east to the West Sea thousands of miles away, and from the north of the desert in the south to the Beihai Sea in the north, five to six thousand miles apart.
Among the place names above, it goes without saying that the Liaohai Sea is the Caspian Sea, the desert should be the Taklimakan Desert, and the North Sea is Lake Baikal.
Imagine how big it is.
Of course, whether a country is strong or not depends not only on its area.
It is useless to be simply large, with a vast interior and sparsely populated areas.
Northern Qi is the smallest among the major countries in the world today, but it is the richest. If the Gao family were not undercover agents sent by the enemy, if they really wanted to develop well, they would really be qualified to unify the world, just like Cao Wei back then.
Same.
Although the Turkic Empire occupies a large area, nearly all the people are armed, and its comprehensive national strength is almost at the peak of its historical period, it was slightly defeated by the Northern Qi more than ten years ago, so it is not invincible.
However, it is powerful after all, and a defeat in a war will not affect it too much. Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty is confronting the Northern Qi Dynasty, the general diplomatic strategy is to compete with the Turks to marry each other, and to lose property to ask for help to deter the other party.
The Central Plains dynasty has always treated the Turks like this. They first make marriages and use them perfunctorily, and then attack them when they become stronger. The Turks are not stupid, they accept the benefits, and invade when they have the opportunity.
Exactly what I said
Come and chop me down if you are a brother!
Since we were superficial brothers, we had to take care of the superficial. When the Turkic Chamber of Commerce's goods were robbed over and over again, they approached Hu Luguang.
This seems ridiculous. The goods were lost outside the customs. What happened to Guan Jinyang?
However, the Turkic Chamber of Commerce has always acted in a domineering style, and they are even more certain that Qu Ao has colluded with the Northern Qi forces, and they want to catch the forces behind the scenes that support him.
What kind of person is Hu Luguang? He doesn't manage finances at all and directly drives away people from the chamber of commerce.
But this time, when the new news came, Hu Luguang couldn't help but change his expression.
It wasn't the five hundred bolts of silk, but the great master's disciples who were killed.
"Crazy Thunder" Hezhe was a man of his word in the prairie. His authority was not inferior to that of the Wooden Khan, and he was known as the person closest to the sky.
The Turks believe in the "sky", which is the so-called Immortal Heaven. It is conceivable that they worship Hezhe and almost regard him as a demi-god.
Now the disciple of the demigod was killed by a big thief.
His face was slapped and slapped.
This incident may cause the Turks to take the opportunity to attack, and if not handled properly, a war may even break out.
Therefore, this time Hu Luguang no longer dared to sit idly by and immediately sent out the elite Mingyue Guards to track down Qu Ao's whereabouts.
In less than ten days, the personal guard reported: "Lieutenant, Qu Ao comes and goes like the wind. There are five hundred horse thieves under his command. Two groups rotate. They are suspected to have several fixed strongholds and supply sources. However, their people are very vigilant.
We didn’t dare to alert the snake, so we didn’t get close.”
Hu Luguang asked: "How far is the approximate location from Yanmen Pass?"
The personal guard judged: "Not beyond a hundred miles."
Hu Luguang's face darkened, and he had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was supporting Qu Ao behind the scenes, and wanted to provoke a war between the Qi Dynasty and the Turks, so as to reap the benefits?"
After the personal guard resigned, his staff also raised similar doubts.
They couldn't help guessing like this. After all, the biggest gain from the war between the Northern Qi and the Turks was the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which faced each other from east to west.
Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was a talented and ambitious man who wanted to unify the north. He prepared a strong army and was prepared to attack the enemy. However, he was frightened by Hu Luguang's ability to lead the army and did not kill them all.
If the Turks sent troops to invade south, the Northern Qi would be the first to bear the brunt, and then the Northern Zhou would be able to reap the benefits.
One of the counselors suggested: "We must catch the big thief Qu Ao, or even force him out of Yanmen Pass. As long as he does not get the support of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, how he wreaks havoc in the Turkic territory after going deep into the grassland has nothing to do with us.
Already."
Others agreed, but Hu Luguang sighed: "I'm afraid the Turks won't give us time!"
…
…
Sure enough, a few days later, the Turkic Chamber of Commerce visited again.
It's coming menacingly.
The leader was unattractive and actually had a disability. The long scar on his long and narrow face, his empty left arm, and the fact that he had a long knife hanging on each waist frightened the entire grassland.
This person is the strongest disciple of the Turkic national master "Crazy Thunder" Hezhe, "Crazy Sword" Yili.
Don't ask where Mengniu is, the name Yili is not a strange name in Turkic at this time, it means "vitality of life" in Turkic language.
His experience does fit this name, because the scar on his face and the mutilation of his left arm were all given by his current master, He Zhe.
It is said that Yili challenged Hezhe three times. In the first battle, his left arm was cut off, and in the second battle, there was a scar on his face. In the third battle, even Hezhe showed his love for talents and offered to accept him as his disciple, but he actually did so.
I was willing, and from then on I became the great disciple of Hezhe Wei Zhen Prairie.
Challenge the Grandmaster three times without dying, this is really energetic.
At this time, Yili appeared without saying a word. Everyone felt the tremendous pressure, and the leader of the Turkic Chamber of Commerce finally dared to straighten his back and speak in front of Hu Luguang.
"The supporters behind Qu Ao have absolutely nothing to do with Northern Qi. Based on the friendship between Da Qi and the Khanate, Qu Ao and Da Qi will help you win. Please go back and wait for the news!"
Although Hu Luguang was worried about the Northern Zhou's mischief, he did not show any courtesy to the Turks.
He has dealt with the hungry wolf, the Turks, too many times, and he knows that toughness is the only way to make the other party fear him. Any slightest weakness will be coveted and attacked.
It doesn’t matter whether you take advantage of it or not, and it doesn’t matter who comes. I won’t let you leave directly, but you still have to go back and wait.
The leader of the Chamber of Commerce faced the god-like Hu Luguang and dared not speak. But at this moment, Yili's hand slowly fell on the handle of the short knife.
With just this action, everyone in the lobby felt the temperature drop suddenly.
Senhan's murderous aura filled the whole place.
"presumptuous!"
Hu Luguang was furious.
This is Jinyang, no matter who you are, a disciple of a great master, you cannot act arrogantly when you come to his territory!
As soon as he moved, he was about to step forward.
However, at this moment, an invisible sword energy surged over him, like thousands of sharp blades slicing through his skin, and it actually prevented him from taking a step further.
Yili's long and narrow eyes flashed with lightning, and his coat automatically fluttered in the wind, and its power was even greater than that of Hu Luguang.
He is also a master!
And he is a stronger master than Hu Luguang!
One is a battlefield commander who is victorious in every battle!
A man has traversed the grassland for decades, and only the peerless mad sword has been defeated three times!
The war is about to break out.
But he couldn't fight after all.
After all, even the warlike Yili knew that it was impossible for him to actually draw his sword on Hu Luguang. That would not only represent the complete declaration of war by the Turks on the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it would also be impossible for them and his party to walk out of Jinyang alive.
It's just that he showed his determination this time through his actions.
Hu Luguang also understood this truth, but he was not willing to be at a disadvantage. He looked at the people in the Chamber of Commerce and fell on two of them. Suddenly his eyes moved and he gave an extremely domineering order: "Take down these two thieves!"
"yes!"
The guards immediately came.
"Isn't it? The world consciousness is too targeted?"
After what Hu Luguang pointed out, everyone discovered that in addition to Yili's indescribable appearance, there were two very outstanding people in the Chamber of Commerce's team.
One was tall and thin, almost like a bamboo pole, and looked very much like Fat Toutuo from The Deer and the Cauldron. He was dressed in black and had a black eyepatch on his right eye.
The other one was complaining. His whole body was white, his hair was white, his eyebrows were white, but he didn't know if other parts of his body were white.
The two of them stood together. Although they were not wearing the hat of "impermanence seduces the soul, the devil threatens the life", they had a proper sense of black and white and impermanence.
There is no doubt that they are the reincarnations who descended on the Turks.
They were not happy about this at first, but soon discovered that it smelled really good.
After all, the scene in which the first batch of reincarnators arrived was so great. The God-like Red-Crown Star split the sky, and twelve demonic stars descended into the world. If the reincarnators were not unpredictable in their methods and their numbers were small, they would have been hunted down by plot forces.
Compared to the Central Plains dynasty, which regarded demon stars as an ominous omen, although the grassland people were also superstitious about the Heaven of Immortality, they valued ability more. The census was even more of a mess, so it was easier to rise to power here.
Now they obviously have a place in the Turkic Empire, so they will follow Yili. Who expected that they would be pissed off by the characters in the plot while watching a show?
"You dare!"
Fortunately, Yili opened his mouth and refused to give in. The two sides faced off again.
…
…
at the same time.
Liu Xiahui, who had been looking at Taiwei's Mansion for three months and could even recite the flowers and plants inside, immediately discovered the traces of the reincarnator.
"Reincarnator from the Turkic camp?"
"This time the Turks threaten Jinyang, Shi Zhixuan must be behind the scenes!"
"He wants to use this conflict to draw us out and hurt both sides!"
Liu Xiahui's eyes lit up, as bright as light bulbs.
The look in his eyes made the little princess so excited that she no longer dared to scold him.
Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend!
"Shi Zhixuan is finally coming out!"
However, Liu Xiahui returned to his previous high-spiritedness. He used his middle finger to hold up his gold-rimmed glasses, and saw a greasy hair falling on them. He flicked them away without caring: "The hard work pays off, we are ready to take action, with Pei Ju's servant
