Turbulent Times Chapter 51: Changkuzi’s younger brother

Wang Junlin nodded, and reminded Changsun Sheng that he might as well gather all the soldiers of the Sui Army tomorrow morning for a longer lecture, and prohibit the soldiers of the Sui Army from having any more conversations and excessive contact with the Turkic people.

Chang Sun Sheng expressed his deep opinion, and Wang Junlin quietly left with peace of mind.

…

…

Although there are nearly one million Turkic people near the Western Turkic Royal Court, among them there are more than 200,000 warriors who can mount their horses and kill the enemy, but on this vast grassland, it is also at night, and there are no walls or barbed wire For Wang Junlin, who is good at lurking at night, it is no exaggeration to say that such things are like entering and exiting no one's land.

Therefore, Wang Junlin left the Turkic royal court without alarming any Turkic people, and came to the dilapidated sheepfold on the west side of Chaiwopu Lake.

Of course he would not expose himself as soon as he came, but found a hiding place, lurked, and observed secretly.

Not long after, Wang Junlin saw A Duo sneaking here alone, looking around, looking for someone.

But Wang Junlin still didn't show up right away. After making sure that there was no one else besides A Duo, he suddenly appeared behind A Duo, and then patted A Duo on the shoulder.

In the middle of the night, when there is no one there, someone taps me on the shoulder without any warning. What kind of feeling does it feel like? Even if A Duo is also a brave person, she is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all. Her pupils constricted and her face suddenly turned pale. However, before she could scream, Wang Junlin covered her mouth.

A Duo struggled desperately with a frightened face, raised his right foot and kicked hard behind him, but was dodged by Wang Junlin, who then said, "It's me, you silly girl."

A Duo stopped struggling, and Wang Junlin let go of his hand, but then there was a piercing pain in his hand, but it was A Duo who was biting Wang Junlin's hand fiercely.

"Let go, you silly girls, don't tell me you're a dog." Wang Junlin was impatient, but he also didn't dare to speak loudly.

"I have poison on my hand." Seeing that A Duo still didn't let go, Wang Junlin said again.

This sentence was very effective, A Duo immediately let go, raised his head, and looked at Wang Junlin with an angry face.

It was only then that Wang Junlin noticed that there were tears in the girl's eyes, obviously she was frightened by him just now. Although she has taken on the important task of being a spy in the latent hostile forces, she is only a girl after all.

"You scoundrel, quickly take off your clothes and put on this suit." A Duo gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, before forgetting about the business. This made Wang Junlin a little embarrassed about the prank just now.

Wang Junlin quickly took off the military uniform and armor, leaving only the small steel armor under the carefully crafted coat, and then changed into the Turkic herdsman clothes given by A Duo.

A Duo held Wang Junlin's clothes and put them under an unknown big tree next to him. Seeing the doubts in Wang Junlin's eyes, A Duo explained, "Wait a while, someone will send a Han corpse , After they put your clothes on the corpse, they will tie stones and sink them into Chaiwopu Lake until the corpse is so soaked that the face cannot be seen clearly, then someone will find the corpse.”

Wang Junlin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, A Duo was already walking towards one direction in the dark, Wang Junlin smiled wryly, he was still angry!

It doesn't matter whether it is a later generation, or an ancient one, or a girl from the Han family, or a girl from the Turkic family, it is actually the same.

Obviously, A Duo is very familiar with this terrain. With the light of the stars and the moon, she can know the way, and this woman is very physically fit. Wang Junlin followed him for most of the night, a distance of more than 20 miles. , Meeting with two Turkic warriors, A Duo handed over Wang Junlin to the two Turkic warriors, and then had to rush back to the Western Turkic royal court overnight.

Two Turkic warriors prepared war horses for Wang Junlin, and the three of them rode their horses to continue southward. However, when riding on the grassland at night, the horses could not see the ground clearly, so they did not dare to gallop, otherwise the horse's legs would be easily broken, so the three of them again Walking slowly in the middle of the night, until it was dawn, I came to the home of a single herdsman, where fodder and meals for the three of them were prepared.

Then, Wang Junlin followed two Turkic warriors on horseback, avoiding the Turkic tribes loyal to Tong Yehu Khan all the way, and galloped towards the south.

One day later in the evening, the three of them galloped for more than a hundred miles and stood on a hillside. One of the warriors pointed to a stretch of tents four or five miles away and said, "General Wang, that's us. The Ashina tribe has a population of more than 400,000, and a warrior like me who can mount a horse and kill the enemy can summon 100,000 at any time."

Wang Junlin squinted his eyes for a while, and said: "You two go back and tell Ashina alone, let that Taoist come to see me alone, and then I will go to your tribe, otherwise I will not go of."

The two warriors looked at each other without saying anything. One of them galloped away, while the other warrior and Wang Junlin waited here.

Although Wang Junlin believes that no one other than himself and Changkuzi will know that he "has a master named Changkuzi", but he has seen too many unimaginable things in later generations. He still chooses to be more cautious. After all, as long as he doesn't enter the Ashina tribe, with his ability to survive in the wilderness, he still has a good chance of escaping, but once he enters the Ashina tribe, he will become the fish of the other party. The teacher wanted to kill him, and he had no possibility of escape. What's more, he really wants to enter the Ashina tribe?

One hour later, Changkuzi came, he came alone, and he didn't ride a horse, he came on foot as if strolling in the garden, but his speed was not slower than a galloping horse.

"Master doesn't know how to ride a horse." Wang Junlin saluted Changkuzi respectfully and said with a smile.

Changkuzi smiled and said, "It's not that I can't ride a horse, but that these beasts will panic when I approach. I'll tell you how to ride."

It was only then that Wang Junlin noticed that as Chang Kuzi approached, the war horse he was leading began to feel uneasy.

"Why?" Wang Junlin couldn't help asking.

Changkuzi glanced at the Turkic warrior next to him. The latter trembled inexplicably, and led the horse to the side. Chang Kuzi then looked at Wang Junlin with a half-smile, and said, "Why haven't you practiced the exercises you were asked to practice?"

Wang Junlin knew that Changkuzi would ask such a question, and he had already thought up his words: "I have been busy with my mission to the Western Turks these days, so I really don't have time to practice."

Changkuzi took a deep look at Wang Junlin, and said, "I know you are obsessed with worldly fame and fortune, but if you become a teacher and help you become a general, can you cultivate with peace of mind."

Under Changkuzi's knife-like gaze, Wang Junlin kept his expression calm and said, "Master, why do you care so much about whether your disciple is practicing this exercise?"

Changkuzi sighed, turned his head to look at the vast grassland, and said after a while: "The profound art I practiced as a teacher has reached a bottleneck, and I need to use your strength to break through."

Wang Junlin said: "Why must it be me?"

Changkuzi said: "Because only you can practice that exercise successfully."

Wang Junlin was very surprised, and said: "Why can I cultivate successfully?"

Changkuzi withdrew his gaze from the grassland, turned his head, looked at Wang Junlin, and said word by word: "Because you are different from other people in this world. As for why you are different, I don't think so." Say it for the teacher!"

Wang Junlin fell silent when he heard the words, and looked at a group of cavalry galloping from the Ashina tribe in the distance. What is the relationship with the Bon Sardin master."

Changkuzi said: "Ashina's Bon Sardin master is my younger brother."

Wang Junlin was taken aback. He thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that Master Bon Sardin would be Changkuzi's younger brother. He said suspiciously: "I heard that Master Bon Sardin It will never be my Han family."

Changkuzi sneered and said, "Whoever says my younger brother must be from the Han family."

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, isn't he from the Han family?"

Chang Kuzi said: "I'm not originally from the Central Plains, but when I went to the Central Plains from the Western Regions to practice, I met my master, who is your ancestor, and seeing that I was destined to be with him, he forced me to be a disciple. Teach me the way of cultivation and miscellaneous studies."

After a pause, Changkuzi glanced at Wang Junlin and said, "So, with me here, you don't have to worry about your safety. I know that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent you and the old grandson to marry each other. The real purpose is to make the Turkic people fight among themselves. I can help you do this well, and then you can practice with peace of mind."

Wang Junlin said: "Master's words are justified. The disciples will do what the master said."

Although Wang Junlin said so, Wang Junlin became more and more wary of Changkuzi. According to his judgment, what Changkuzi said just now is nine truths and one falsehood.

It is true that Zhang Kuzi and the Bon Sardin master are brothers. It is also true that the two are not Han Chinese. Pure black, a little yellowish, and the face shape does have the characteristics of people from the Western Regions. As for which ethnicity it is, he can't tell it for a while

It is also true that Changkuzi helped him achieve the purpose of this trip, and that he wholeheartedly helped him to succeed in his cultivation, but there is a lot of content behind the sentence of letting him help him break through the bottleneck.

Moreover, Wang Junlin can be sure that Changkuzi must know that he has doubts about him, but what makes Wang Junlin really vigilant is that Changkuzi doesn't seem to care whether he doubts him or not.

…

…

It has to be said that even though Wang Junlin was only the fifth-rank Captain Guoyi in Sui Dynasty, he only had 5,000 troops under his command. But no one in Western Turkic dared to underestimate it. Ashina controlled the second largest tribe in Western Turkic, with 400,000 to 500,000 people and 100,000 cavalry.
