Power and Empire Chapter 3012: A trip to the Imperial Capital (7)
The blood-like setting sun shone from the other end of the ridge, and the animals running across the mountain were driven by the two-line cavalry, like a torrent,
As a battle horn that tore through the sky sounded, there seemed to be endless coercion covering the entire Kaishan area. The eastern cavalry, who had spread out to drive away the prey, began to slow down and heard three sounds. After the horn sounded, one of the leading Qianqi chiefs raised his hand and said grimly, "Kan Khan has enjoyed himself today, everyone will return to the camp and continue tomorrow"
"Yes!" The East Court cavalry all around responded neatly, their voices resounding all around, and there was no dissatisfaction in it. Those who can hunt and protect King Khan are naturally the elites of the East Court. This is in the eyes of the people in the grassland. , But the glory that can't be bought with money, but it's just to drive some prey. I don't know how many times I have been on the grassland. How can I feel tired? After receiving the order, it quickly returned as if the tide was falling, and the whole line returned, and the retreat was even more uniform. The horseshoe lifted up the dust of the mountain, like a storm, the sound of the rumbling gradually disappeared, and soon all disappeared in the distance. After the mountain,
All the prairie cavalry near were evacuated for less than ten minutes, and a dozen figures cautiously jumped off the tree trunks
One of the young men said to himself that it was dangerous. If the Imperial Cavalry continued to move forward, he would be able to hide if he didn’t even dare to say. The others immediately spread out and watched the surrounding vigilantly. After checking and confirming the safety, the young man with a look of a mountainous temperament bowed his hand to another big tree, and said, "Patriarch, the imperial cavalry has withdrawn, and the surroundings are safe. You can come out."
A thin middle-aged man flashed out from the back of the big tree, and gently jumped to the ground, staring strangely in the direction of the imperial cavalry, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were bright and scary.
"Patriarch, since the Emperor has arrived at Kaishan, it has saved us a lot of trouble. It's better to wait until dark, and I will take someone to explore it," the young man said respectfully to the middle-aged man, in the heart of the young man , The middle-aged man in front of him is the guardian of the one hundred thousand mountains in the south. Although this failed revenge against the Southwest Long Family, it also set the record for the first time that the South Mountain Region actively entered the Southwest Long Family. If it weren’t for the Long Family’s return to the army too quickly, It’s not that there are too many scruples within the mountain army. At this moment, I am afraid that it has already broken the Long Family Base Camp and used the blood of the Long Family to wash away the grief and humiliation suffered by the southern mountains for decades.
This failure can only be said that people are not as good as the sky, and it is not a defeat in the war. Who would have thought that the main force of the Long Family, thousands of miles away, would suddenly come back like a magic weapon
"No, the imperial emperor came to Kaishan to hunt at this time. If it is a coincidence, it would be too far-fetched." The middle-aged man waved his hand to the young man with a firm face. The most important feature of a flash person is that his nose is a little bit inside, which gives people a kind of pressure to look at him. If someone who knows him is there, he will inevitably exclaim. How can this person appear here? It is precisely because the Song Que, the first man in the southern mountains who should be facing the two-lane attack of the Long Family, the leader of the Song clan, is still staying near the Longyingkou because the back road is cut off.
has reached the critical moment of life and death in the southern mountains, this Song family leader will actually appear here, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it if he said it.
"Patriarch means that the empire knows we are coming?"
Hearing Song Que’s words, the young man's body was shaken and his face was full of disbelief. This time the secret went north to Lanzhi City. Only a few people even inside the mountain army knew it. It was definitely a secret, because once The mountain army generally knew that Song Que, the lord of the Song clan, had already left the army until more than ten confidant guards were alone in Beishan. It is feared that immediately the southern mountain region will collapse before the Long family is at war. This can be seen. It’s so top secret. Even if the empire is hiding in the mountains in the south, it’s afraid that it won’t know about Song Quebei’s advance, but the Patriarch actually meant that the empire not only knew about Song Quebei’s advancement, but also garrisoned Kai Kai in advance. Mountain,
"I don't know, it just feels so!"
Song Que looked complicated, sighed, and said, "Originally, when I entered Lanzhi City secretly this time, the most worried thing was that after arriving in Lanzhi City, how could he conceal the many eyes and ears that the Long family lurked in Lanzhi City? A little bit of news reached the ears of the Long’s family. It would be a disaster for me in the southern mountains. But now, there is no such worry. You have all seen that the empire is suddenly in Kaishan
To start hunting, it must be a large force that has already blocked the entire vicinity. No matter how strong the eyes and ears of the Long family in Lanzhi City, they will definitely not dare to come to Kaishan at this time. This is equivalent to clearing the obstacles for us in advance."
There was silence all around, and the dozens of relatives who followed Song Que, all of them were shocked. This wouldn’t be true. How could it be possible? Although I don’t believe what the Patriarch said, it is still faintly It feels that the empire suddenly started hunting in Kaishan, and it has pulled out such a big posture. Now it’s Spring Melt, the prey that has just survived the long winter, it’s pretty good if you don’t starve to death. Everyone is bony prey, neither are they along the way. I didn’t see it. Under normal circumstances, there is value worth hunting. Normal hunting needs to wait for the long fat season in autumn. The empire’s hunt is indeed abnormal and weird.
From this point, apart from the fact that the empire already knew that they would come to Kaishan, it was really unexpected that there would be other reasons,
"Well, instead of being suspicious here, let's be straightforward, let's go directly to the camp of the emperor!" Song Que waved his hand to the entourage, his eyes were firm. He has been in the upper position for many years, as the lord of the Song clan The breath burst out immediately
"Patriarch, this matter should not be hasty. The Patriarch is the safety of the entire southern mountains. It is too risky to go to the emperor camp like this!" Hearing that Song Que would go to the emperor himself and promised, the young man suddenly agreed I was anxious, and quickly stopped and said, "The attitude of the empire is unknown. This time the Long Family’s 300,000 army returned to the army. It is said that it was killed from Fengshan less than 30 miles away from Kaishan. There was no news from the empire. If there is no collusion between the empire and the dragon family, that is the hell. In case the empire is already in alliance with the dragon family, the owner of the family is going to be directly arrested. It is better to let the younger one try the water first. If the empire is true Joining forces with the Southwest Dragon Family, it doesn’t matter if the younger one dies, and the owner is asked to return immediately.
"Go back? Where can we go back?"
Song Que's eyes flashed with coldness, and his face grumbled, "The road to the army’s retreat has been cut off. At present, the waterways that can allow our large fleet to evacuate are nothing but the Beihe Road controlled by the empire. , This time I came to Lanzhi City in secret. I was holding the mentality for the last time. If the Empire promised to let us enter Beihe Road, then everyone would have a way out. If the Empire really joins forces with the Long Family, it is bound to strangle all the mountains in the south of me. In the Southwest River Road, what's the point of being alone with Song Que! Don’t be long-winded, since I’ve already arrived here, there’s no chance of looking back, only a fight. I’ll go to the Imperial Camp tonight. "Song Que is serious. With a wave of hands, I interrupted the young man and kept on talking,
Seeing that the Patriarch is determined, the youth can only kneel on one knee with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. "Since the Patriarch has decided to do this, Song Dan is not good to say anything, I only ask Patriarch to allow Song Dan to enter the imperial camp with Patriarch!"
"This time I went to the Imperial Camp, I don't even know the life and death of myself. If you want to die with me, I won't stop you!"
Song Que looked at this outstanding young Song Clan leader, Song Dan, the youngest Song Clan has the highest martial arts skills. He is the idol of many young people in the southern mountains, and this time he is marching to the southwest. The captain of the Song mountain ghost team formed in response to the assassination of the Southwest Dragon’s dead soldier. He is known for his melee combat and shocked the southern mountains. The most brutal time, he once fought two mountain bears alone, killed one, and seriously injured one. According to the record, this time he marched to the southwest, at least seventeen or eighteen of the famous assassins of the Long family died in his hands. The route passed on the road to the north was also to clear the way for Song Dan to move forward. On the way, he encountered the Long family secret whistle. , Has injured several places
The night breeze is gentle, with a bit of chill in the early spring, it slaps on the face, giving people a kind of tenderness like a lover
When it got dark, Song Que and his party headed in the direction the Emperor had just withdrawn. The camp of the Emperor was not very far away. Pieces of white military tents almost covered the foothills of Kaishan, inside the camp. The bonfire is like a sky full of stars, surrounded by temporary fences constructed with wooden rafts, and trenches several meters deep are dug outside the fences. Several wooden arrow towers stand at the four corners of the camp, seemingly loose, but when the fire in the camp is shining On the several large metal objects on the arrow tower, Song Que and others’ eyes flashed with astonishment. It was the metal flash of the Empire’s heavy ballista. Even on a high platform in the camp, Song Que suddenly saw it. A row of imperial Thor’s black pipes,
At the center of the camp, there are a dozen huge bonfires lined up in a line, a fiery red figure, like a meteor from the middle
Flying and interspersed, while dazzling people, the white lines seemed to grow eyes, continuously flying over the huge bonfire, and firmly anchored on the other end of the camp, nearly a hundred meters away on a circular grass target. , Ten arrows and ten hits, superb skills, immediately drew cheers from all around
The red shadow also started to slow down, she looked like a beautiful and charming woman with a coquettish figure. Her braid on her head was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she was wearing a big red prairie robe. , Holding a prairie compound bow in his hand, with double autumn water-like eyes looking forward to brilliance, under the cheers of everyone, raising the prairie bow in his hand, it seems to be responding to the surroundings,
"It's a woman!" Song Que's pupils shrunk, and he didn't expect that the marksman who shot such sharp and rapid arrows just now turned out to be a charming woman. She couldn't help sighing, the empire's heritage is indeed true. It’s hidden,
"Song Dan, if you are against this woman, how much chances of victory can you have" Song Que looks at Song Dan next to him
"Within ten meters, this woman died, ten meters away, I die" Song Dan's expression changed a little, and he took a deep breath and said, "It seems that I underestimated the empire," he thought the empire was like this. The Western Continent countries rely on the excellent military forging industry of the Western Continent. The Bingjia may be the best in the world, and no one can match it. However, when it comes to personal force, it cannot be compared with China. Martial arts are thousands of martial arts masters, hundreds of sects, with a long history, what is there in the Western Continent? I heard that it was just a few slashes and straight cuts, and it was completely relied on the brute force of the people of the Western Continent to win. Where are the various secret skills that Zhongbia martial arts pay attention to, and I did not expect that there is such a lap archery"
"Archery?" Song Que's eyes flashed deeply, and he said in a heavy tone, "The empire dominates the world is not archery, but an empire crossbow that can penetrate gold and stone"
Entering the imperial camp this time, Song Dan has determined that if the empire really turns his face, he will arrest the imperial emperor first, and even if he fights his own life, he will also bring the Patriarch out of the imperial camp safely. , But I didn’t expect that just a woman would be enough to make him, the top master of Chinese martial arts, feel cold behind his back
Riding a horse in the dark night, you can still reach a target with ten arrows and ten arrows a hundred meters away. If it is a real match, I am afraid that the opponent only needs a series of arrows, which will be enough to kill most of China If a master shoots into a hornet’s nest, it’s oneself, and the chance of being able to escape is not 30%. Such archery skills, even in the Northern Prairie Army, are rare marksmen, but in the emperor’s place, it’s just A woman!
"Your Majesty, dare to gamble with me once to see who has enough prey this time. If you only talk about archery, I will call it the second place. No one dares to call it first. If it is not for your majesty’s face Come, I will kill all the prey all over the mountain during the day!"
Rui Tang Tingna didn’t know that it scared the Song people. The proud and vigorous figure came down from the battle horse, holding a glass of mare cumin on the table of the fat man, and she was dressed in an exquisite and luxurious red prairie robe. Against the backdrop of the red big bonfire, the hot prairie beauties are even more revealing. The legs are so slender and the buttocks are so plump. Under the red prairie robe, everywhere on the body Concave and convex woven into a fascinating curve. ,
"Just bet, you can kill all the prey in the mountain, right? Tonight, I will beat you first so that you can't even get on a horse. It depends on how you hunt tomorrow."
The fat man picked up the glass of mare kumiss and took a sip of it. He laughed at the corner of his mouth. He took Rui Tang Tingna’s hand and hugged it like his arms. He knew that in the rules of the prairie, the woman toasted herself. It's actually an invitation, not to mention that for women like Rui Tangtingna, they worship the strong in their bones
"Come on, whoever is afraid!"
Rui Tang Tingna brightened her eyes, twisted her waist and struggled in the fat man’s arms, blushing, and biting her lip~ IndoMTL.com~ even more showing a scorching beauty, a staunch woman on the prairie Straightforwardness is the most convincing for men, not to mention that Rui Tangtingna’s heroic dashing on the horse just now is enough to make any man holding her have an urge to conquer,
Seeing that King Khan and the princess had said such things, the others immediately showed a drunk grind. After laughing loudly, all the birds and beasts scattered. Wherever they dare to stay, the Imperial Guards are asking When the curtain of the general’s tent was lowered, an imperial guard captain hurriedly ran over from a distance, nearby
The guards are all winking like the captain of the guards. At this time, you can’t go.
But the captain of the guards was obviously also biting his head, took a deep breath, and tremblingly reported outside the military account, "Your Majesty, someone outside the camp is asking for a meeting!"
"Who is it?" The curtain of the military tent was pulled away from inside. His majesty, who was still looking like a face, walked out, but at this moment, she was a bit cold and not drunk. Beside the emperor, Princess Rui Tang Tingna It's a curious look
"The other party claimed to be..." Thinking of the identity of the person who came to report, the captain of the guard hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "The other party claims to be the lord of the Southern Song clan, Song Que!" With a sound of inhalation, even Rui Tang Tingna blinked a few times. The Lord of the Song Clan, shouldn't he be dealing with the cruel strangulation of the Long Family? How could it appear here?
"Haha, I thought this lost lamb was really lost!" On the contrary, the emperor smiled coldly and looked at his princess. "Are you still going to hunt against me? Do you think this prey is better? How is your prey in the mountains?"
