A little more than an hour ago …
A black-robed man was riding a black horse on a small road to the west of Sourcepeak City. His speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and it seemed as if he trusted the reins of his horse. At this moment, in the dark night sky above Sourcepeak City, a bright flame suddenly bloomed. The black-robed man quickly reined in his horse and looked in the direction of Sourcepeak City.
"Fireworks? Did Zhao Deyan move ahead of time? "
After looking to the east for a while, the black-robed man suddenly muttered to himself.
His voice was extremely hoarse, like dry firewood, and it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to. Beneath the loose black robe was a face covered in terrifying scars. This was the Turkic State Teacher who had fled the steppe and was heading south to the Central Plains: Wu Jie!
"No … it shouldn't be Zhao Deyan! The Imperial Court's soldiers have yet to arrive, and given his personality, he wouldn't act rashly! "
When he saw the flames rising from Sourcepeak City, Wu Jie subconsciously believed that Zhao Deyan had taken action. After all, he had been the Imperial Teacher of the steppe, second only to one person and above all. He knew all of Zhao Deyan's plans.
But after a few moments of thought, Wu Jie rejected this conjecture. First of all, Zhao Deyan shouldn't have been able to produce flames that could rise high into the sky.
Secondly, Wu Jie knew that Zhao Deyan had just sent a messenger pigeon to the Prairie yesterday, requesting Xieli to send a team of elite Wolf Riders down south to help them coordinate from the inside and outside to take down Sourcepeak City, and capture Yan Huang Academy's teachers and students alive. Let alone the fact that Xieli had no intention of sending reinforcements to Zhao Deyan because of the frost, even if he did send reinforcements, given the speed at which they were marching, they shouldn't have been able to reach Sourcepeak City so quickly. Thus, in this situation, Zhao Deyan could not possibly mobilize such a large force!
But Wu Jie had no idea that Zhao Deyan had already become a prisoner of the Great Tang government, and that King Wei, Li Ke, had also fallen into the hands of the Turkic spies in the city!
It wasn't that Wu Jie was too uninformed, but that the situation in Sourcepeak City was changing too quickly!
Besides, the current him was no longer the Turkic State Preceptor. In the land of the Great Tang, he was no different from a vagabond. Not only did he have no subordinates he could order around, he didn't even dare to stay in an inn at night!
Because he was still a wanted criminal in the Great Tang Imperial Court, he had to pass through a police station if he wanted to stay in an inn in the city. With his current attire and the fact that he didn't even have a police station, he would be easily exposed if he stayed in an inn in the city!
Therefore, Wu Jie had basically only taken small paths and rarely passed through towns or cities. As for how to solve the problem of food, this was not a problem for a Great Grandmaster expert like him. Casually catching a pheasant or wild rabbit would be enough for him to fill his stomach!
"Since it's not Zhao Deyan's doing, then what's with the fireworks in Sourcepeak City? Could it be that the Taiyuan government is going to make a move tonight? "
Wu Jie couldn't help muttering to himself, but soon after, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, what does this have to do with me? Let's hurry along as quickly as possible! "
Wu Jie was well aware of his goal in fleeing the steppe and heading south to the Central Plains. He no longer cared about the struggle between the Turks and the Great Tang. He only wanted to find Li Yu and figure out his identity. As for whether Zhao Deyan and the others lived or died, what did that have to do with him?
With this thought in mind, Wu Jie withdrew his gaze and kicked the belly of his horse, urging it to continue forward.
