Riding the Pheonix Chapter 366: Lies

Su Tu couldn’t believe it: “You’re threatening me with the lives of civilians?”

Mingwei lazily said: "What, 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 had encountered so many herdsmen on the road these days, but she had always chosen to avoid them and never took action!

“One moment, another moment.” Mingwei seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, “It’s 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. Now that the situation is here, I have no choice but to take advantage of it, right?"

After saying that, the little girl's cry sounded again in the tent, mixed with the woman's plea 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 help you survive, I don't mind being a villain. The only winner is to live. If you die, you will get nothing. Seventh Prince, make a decision quickly. In the end, you are ignoring the people. life, 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!"

As soon 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 you have to die, of course you have to pull a few backers."

Su Tu looked gloomy, holding the 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 this was said, 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 each other.

Ming Wei in the tent laughed: "This is interesting. I thought the prince was just joining in the fun by learning the culture of the Central Plains, but I was really so benevolent? How disrespectful and disrespectful. But does the seventh prince think I am a fool? In terms of force, you are no better than me. I am inferior, not to mention 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 am afraid that I will 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 integrate the eight tribes, and then slowly subdue King Hu, in order to achieve the goal of fighting without bloodshed.

At that time, a powerful fighting force will be formed, which can be sustained even if the troops are sent south immediately.

But what now? So many people died in the Eight Divisions, and they were 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 Beihu Babu? Because their fighting strength is strong enough, they often gather tens of thousands of troops and dare to go south to knock the pass. But the population is also sparse, and it is almost impossible to recruit more than 100,000 troops. It would probably take ten years to replace the 10,000 most elite soldiers around King Hu from each department!

Mingwei's voice came out: "What can I do? I just ask the prince to give me 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."

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime escape!” 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 throughout the grasslands and 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 calmed down and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"The prince is really benevolent and righteous. It seems that you have understood the essence of kingship." Mingwei's admiration came from the tent, "You and your bodyguards will retreat twenty miles and come back at dawn. You will see their family. Good."

"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: "This way of death is not pretty, so the prince can rest assured."

"It's best this way!" Su Tu snorted coldly, raised his 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. After a while, 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 yesterday.

The sun has just risen, shining on the calm surface of Lake Noga. The water is sparkling and the birds are chirping. 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 threw down the curtain bitterly: "See for yourself!"

The guards raised the curtain~IndoMTL.com~ and was stunned.

There was no family of herdsmen. The tent was empty except for a few little paper figures thrown on the ground. Next to the tent that was splattered with blood yesterday, there was 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, this woman would have been tied into a rice dumpling and thrown on his horse, right?

"Damn it!" the guard captain begged, "Prince, we will catch up immediately, we must catch her this time!"

Su Tu turned around and mounted his horse without saying a word.

More than a dozen barbarian warriors not only didn't sleep all night, they didn't even bother to eat, so they chased after them 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 take Beitianmen and follow them to find their traces.

After 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 was undulating, and they gradually entered the mountains.

The guard captain found traces again: "Prince, they made a fire here." He checked his hand and was overjoyed, "It's still hot, it's nearby!"

It didn’t take much effort this time. They walked no more than a mile and saw Ming Wei comforting his mount.

"Where to run!" the guard captain shouted, stood up on the saddle, and threw the lasso in his hand.
