"… Jie, why did Father call you over just now?"
In a large tent to the west of the Eastern Turkic Royal Court, a beautiful Turkic woman lifted the curtain and walked in. A tall and mighty black-robed man was seated in front of a couch, wiping a spiked club in his hand. Upon seeing the black-robed man's actions, the woman's cheerful steps suddenly stopped. She stood a few steps in front of the black-robed man and couldn't help but ask.
"… Wu Jie, are you leaving the steppe again?"
The black-robed man in the tent was none other than the Turkic State Teacher, Wu Jie!
Last month, after failing to infiltrate the Great Tang and steal the secrets of Yanhuang College, Wu Jie had fled back to the steppe and returned to his old life. Even though Wu Jie and Ashina She 'er had lost more than forty thousand elite Turkic wolf cavalry in the battle on the Great Tang border, Wu Jie's terrifying strength and his irreplaceable role on the steppe meant that Xieli had only punished Ashina She' er and not Wu Jie!
At that time, Wu Jie had fought several top experts within the borders of Great Tang, and he had also fought the half-step Grandmaster Xuan Qing of Longhu Mountain outside the Dragon Gate. He had suffered some injuries, but after more than a month of recuperation, his injuries had basically healed!
"Khagan wants me to lead soldiers to Taiyuan tomorrow!"
Hearing the woman's voice, Wu Jie's action of wiping his mace suddenly stopped, not even bothering to raise his head as he replied faintly in his hoarse voice.
Listening to the meaning in his words, when Xieli told him to go to the tent just now, it should be to arrange for him to lead ten thousand wolf cavalry to go to Taiyuan and cooperate with Zhao Deyan from the inside and outside, to thoroughly take down Taiyuan City. Looking at it this way, Xieli had made up his mind to take the risk according to Zhao Deyan's plan!
"What? Father wants you to lead soldiers to the Great Tang again? How can this be? "
The woman cried out in alarm and then angrily said, "Last time, when Father sent you to Chang 'an, you almost didn't return. Although your martial arts are formidable and unparalleled, the people of the Central Plains have a saying that two fists are no match for four hands. Moreover, the martial arts world of the Central Plains has as many experts as the clouds. If you are surrounded by them, you will definitely be injured again! Why did Father give you such a dangerous mission? No! I have to go find Father! "
After saying this, the woman turned to leave.
The woman's full name was Ashina Shuyan. She was the pearl of Xieli Khagan's palm and one of his most beloved daughters.
"… Stop!"
Seeing that Ashina Shu Yan was about to go find Xieli, Wu Jie finally raised his head, his back facing Ashina Shu Yan as he said, "I am the Imperial Teacher of the Great Jue Dynasty, enjoying the worship of tens of thousands of people, it is only right for me to share the burden of the Great Khan! Besides, no one can hurt me! "
This last sentence showed Wu Jie's confidence in his own strength.
Even though he was slightly injured when he fought with Xuan Qing before the Dragon Gate, he didn't think that Xuan Qing's strength was higher than his. It was mainly because he had escaped from Cloud Mountain to the Dragon Gate. Before he fought with Xuan Qing, he had already fought with Mo Huai, the Bearded Guest, Dugu Xin, Dugu Feiying, Li Zexuan, and many other top experts. At that time, he had used up more than half of his True Qi, which was why he had suffered a small loss in the hands of Xuan Qing!
If both of them were at their peak, he believed that Xuan Qing would be defeated within a hundred moves!
Ashina Shuyan stopped in her tracks and turned around. She stomped her feet angrily and said, "Hmph! Father has so many warriors under his command. Why do you have to take the risk? What mission did Father send you to Taiyuan for? "
As the little princess of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, Ashina Shuyan's loyalty to the Eastern Turkic Khaganate was unquestionable. Therefore, Wu Jie didn't hide it from her.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Half a month ago, Zhao Deyan led the Wolf Guards to sneak into Taiyuan. Now, he and his men are trapped in Taiyuan City. Apart from him, there are also King Wei of Great Tang and some teachers and students from Yanhuang College. The Khagan wants me to lead a team of Wolf Guards to sneak into Great Tang and surround Taiyuan City. Together with Zhao Deyan, not only can we take down the city, we can also capture King Wei of Great Tang and the teachers and students from Yanhuang College back to the grasslands!"
"What? Father sent you to attack Taiyuan? "
Ashina Shuyan was shocked when she heard this. She had thought that Xieli had sent Wu Jie to infiltrate the Great Tang like the last time, just to carry out a mission to steal information. She had never imagined that Xieli would send Wu Jie to attack the Great Tang's largest city in the north — Taiyuan City. That was not the Great Tang's border, but the inner pass! Not to mention the height and thickness of Taiyuan City, if Taiyuan City was besieged, the surrounding provinces and counties would immediately send reinforcements. Xieli sending Wu Jie on this mission was no different from sending Wu Jie to his death!
"How many soldiers did Father give you ~?"
After coming back to her senses, Ashina Shuyan asked.
In Ashina Shuyan's view, to penetrate deep into the heart of the Great Tang's Guanzhong and attack a major city like Taiyuan City, it would be impossible to succeed without at least one hundred thousand soldiers.
"Ten thousand elite Wolf Guards!"
Wu Jie indifferently replied. Then he added, "This is Zhao Deyan's plan. He has already made arrangements in Taiyuan City. Ten thousand soldiers is enough to take down Taiyuan City! Moreover, the situation on the steppe is unstable, and Khagan is concentrating his forces to encircle Tuli. He can't spare too many men! "
But when she heard the name Zhao Deyan, a hint of anger flashed across Ashina Shuyan's face. She angrily stomped her foot and indignantly said:
"Zhao Deyan! It's that treacherous and hateful Han Zhao Deyan again! Father Sweat, he must have been possessed by the devil! Ever since he was placed in an important position by Father, not only did he bring the hypocritical habits of the Central Plains to the steppe, he also pushed aside all of Father's trusted generals. Father's prestige on the steppe is now far inferior to before!
"Also, Wu Jie, you are the State Teacher, the number one expert of the steppe. Zhao Deyan doesn't dare to do anything to you on the surface, but I feel that once his position under Father's command is stabilized, he will definitely push you aside just like he did everyone else!
"Previously, you failed to sneak into Yanhuang College to steal information and then fled to the Great Tang border. Not long after that, Zhao Deyan took the initiative to personally infiltrate the Great Tang. I feel that he wants to use this opportunity to prove himself in front of Father so that he can replace you in the future!
"This time, you are leading troops to attack Taiyuan City. Even if you succeed, the credit will not fall to you, but to Zhao Deyan! In the words of the Central Plains, you are making a wedding dress for someone else! "
Hearing this, Wu Jie didn't feel indignant or indignant. Instead, he maintained a calm expression. Because Ashina Shu Yan's words had taken a bit too long, Wu Jie had already picked up his mace and continued to wipe his face!
After Ashina Shuyan finished speaking, Wu Jie only gave a faint "En" and then calmed down and continued to busy himself with the matter at hand!
Seeing this, Ashina Shuyan was furious. She couldn't help but walk up to Wu Jie and fiercely stomp her foot, "Wu Jie! I've said so much to you, why haven't you responded at all ~? "
Wu Jie didn't immediately respond to Ashina Shuyan. He put down the silk cloth in his hand and carefully examined the mace. After making sure that the stains on it had been wiped clean, he stood up and looked at Ashina Shuyan, "Yan 'er, I don't care.
"Yan-er, I don't care about this contribution. If Zhao Deyan wants it, he can take it. But I must go on this trip to the Great Tang, and I have my reasons!"
'I also have my reasons!'
Hearing the latter half of Wu Jie's words, Ashina Shu Yan couldn't help trembling, her right hand involuntarily stroking her left wrist. Beneath her sleeve was a priceless black carp bracelet of exquisite craftsmanship!
The last time they came back from the Great Tang, Wu Jie had told her that he met a little girl in Cloud Mountain who wore the same jade bracelet as her. He had asked her if she knew this girl, but Ashina Shuyan said she didn't. Since then, there had been some estrangement between the two of them. Now, the relationship between the two of them had become even more estranged!
Ashina Shuyan was clear in her heart that the reason Wu Jie had to go was most likely because of the girl who wore the same bracelet as her!
"In addition, I also want to know who I am!"
Wu Jie picked up his mace and was about to walk out of the tent, but just as he was about to reach the entrance, he suddenly stopped and muttered to himself before opening the tent's curtain and walking out.
Inside the tent, when she heard Wu Jie's last sentence, Ashina Shuyan's face suddenly turned pale and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, as if she had foreseen something terrible was about to happen!
Wu Jie's sentence seemed to have no beginning or end, but it also seemed to have a deep meaning. The amount of information contained in it was too much!
"Wu Jie! Wu Jie! "
After a long while, she finally came back to her senses, then quickly turned and ran out of the tent, frantically calling Wu Jie's name.
… … …
Southeast of the grassland, Tuli's troops, Tang Jian's tent.
At this time, Tang Jian was sitting at the table, reading a book and drinking tea leisurely.
The book was a good book, and the tea was naturally good tea. It was the Immortal Tea that was currently popular in the Great Tang, and countless rich people fought over it. This thing was not available in the grassland because the people of the grassland basically didn't like to drink tea. Besides, even if they liked to drink tea, they couldn't buy tea leaves like the Immortal Tea! After all, this thing was in short supply in the Great Tang!
These tea leaves were naturally brought over by Tang Jian from the Great Tang! If he didn't drink it now, it would only benefit Tuli and Ni Shu Tuo!
"Grand Duke, you still have the leisure to read and drink tea?"
At this time, a tall man with sword-like eyebrows walked in and saw Tang Jian leisurely sitting at the table, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
This man was the captain of the guards who escorted Tang Jian to the grassland — Yue Minghu!
"Oh! Minghu, you're here? "
Hearing this voice, Tang Jian put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and smiled indifferently, "What's wrong? What happened? Now that we're all alive and well, why can't this old man have the leisure to read and drink tea ~? "
