Ye An said, "You still don't believe me! We refused to admit that we were scouts and pretended to be timid and obedient. Those Tangs couldn't do anything to us and gradually, they didn't care about us anymore. That day, their Great General transferred us to be interrogated again, but we still pretended to be crazy. The Great General was getting impatient. Suddenly, someone came to look for him, so he left with his guards … "
Ye An drank a mouthful of wine and said proudly, "It was also because the wind and snow were too heavy that there weren't many guards outside. After he left, there were only two people in the tent watching over us. Those two people didn't care about us at all and actually dozed off there. The two of us suddenly attacked and knocked them out. We put on their clothes and left. With their waist tokens, no matter how heavily guarded the camp was, couldn't we come and go as we pleased?"
The clansmen who were listening with great interest said with regret, "You left just like that? Why didn't you kill those two Tangs? "
Ye An said, "If your clothes were covered in blood, how could you leave? At that time, after knocking them out, we only cared about putting on our clothes and leaving, for fear that if we delayed, other soldiers would come. After all, that was the main camp of the Tangs. We didn't dare to waste our time and were in a hurry to find horses. "
The others nodded and said, "That's true. To be able to escape in such a situation is already a blessing from the gods!"
The Gaoshe chicken translated to Yang Fan sentence by sentence. When Yang Fan heard this, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He asked in a low and cold voice, "Did you hear it correctly? He really said that? "
The Gaoshe chicken looked at him strangely and nodded vigorously.
Yang Fan repeatedly pondered over what Ye An had said earlier, and a wisp of icy coldness faintly suffused his eyes.
He was the only person other than Shen Mu who understood the secret report sent by Shen Mu's informant. The secret report had a very detailed description of the process of the two Turkic spies' escape.
At that time, there were two people in the tent watching over the two spies and two halberd-wielding warriors guarding the door. However, according to Ye An, there were only two people in the tent. Based on the many praises that Ye An had just said, if there were really four guards in the tent at that time, in order to show his bravery, he definitely wouldn't have said too little.
Then what about the two halberd-wielding warriors whose throats were slit at the back at the tent? Didn't he say that there were Turkic scouts in Lou Shide's army? It was true that Ye An could boast about how valiant he was when he assassinated a hundred cavalrymen and how difficult it was for him to escape from the army camp and be pursued. But how could he make up such an important fact that he was rescued by an insider to be completely unrecognizable?
The grassland herdsmen valued credibility and sincerity. Deception was a very serious matter, and an appropriate exaggeration and a complete fabrication were very different. Moreover, Ye An said that at that time, he only knocked out two imperial bodyguards. He didn't kill them because he was afraid that the blood would stain his military uniform. However, when the two people in the tent were discovered, they were clearly beheaded. Who did this?
It was daytime, and it was a snowy winter. How could the two guards be so tired that they dozed off? It wasn't like it was summer. Was there a need to sleep so thirsty? Yang Fan had served in the Jin Wu Guards and was an imperial guard in the palace. His brother, Ma Qiao, was now the personal guard of a general, so he knew very well how strict the military discipline was for a person chosen by a great general to be a personal guard.
Before this, Yang Fan had never doubted Qiu Shenji. Although Qiu Shenji was bloodthirsty, cruel, and unscrupulous to achieve his goals, he was still a general of the Tang dynasty. Would he do such a despicable thing for the sake of his own selfish desires? But at this moment …
"This person is very important! We have to get our hands on him! We have to keep him alive! "
Yang Fan lowered his head and said to the Gaoshe chicken in an inaudible voice.
The Gaoshe chicken looked at him in surprise. Seeing his serious face, it turned its head and said a few words to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi didn't want to waste his brain thinking about why. Anyway, before he set off, Shen Mu had already told him to listen to Yang Fan for everything. Since Yang Fan said so, he would do it. So he nodded happily.
Ye An continued talking. He talked about how he and Dian Ci changed into military uniforms and escaped from the barracks. They were found again and chased by the soldiers. He added oil to the fire and talked about how brave he was. Finally, when he talked about his cousin Dian Ci dying on the road, he burst into tears again. Everyone hurried to comfort him.
Ye An said sadly, "Dian Ci liked our tribe's Miss Moqi Qingyuan the most. He even planned to go to her house and marry her after he became an official. Who would have thought that she would die in the vast snow …"
A clansman beside him comforted, "People can't come back to life. Don't be sad. As for Miss Qingyuan, even if Dian Ci came back alive, he wouldn't be able to see her. She's already married."
"Ah?" Ye An wiped his tears and asked, "She's already married? Who did she marry? "
That clansman said, "She's been married for almost a year. She married a rich man from this Xue Yantuo tribe. He lives in this city. His name is Tiefu Rongzhi. He's a dead old man. Sigh! What a pity, a flower of our tribe. What a pity. That buttocks that are as firm as a mare's and breasts that are as big as a cow's … "
Ye An said happily, "Is that so? Then I'll have to buy some gifts to visit her later."
A few clansmen immediately revealed a warm expression.
Yang Fan and the others waited patiently at the side until these people finished drinking and dispersed. Those clansmen all walked out of the city and back to the barracks. Because Ye An wanted to visit the flower of their tribe, he walked in the opposite direction alone. He bought some very gaudy jewelry from a peddler, humming a song as he walked unsteadily.
Yang Fan and the others immediately followed behind him. Ye An asked around and found Tiefu Rongzhi's house. Rongzhi was a Turkic who had already left his nomadic lifestyle and turned into a merchant. He could be considered to have a small fortune in this city. He spent a large sum of money to marry this Miss Moqi from Ye An's tribe, whose beauty had spread far and wide. But in the end, he was struck down. His already old and weak body died in less than half a year.
His four wives divided up his family's property. Moqi Qingyuan obtained a wine shop that was still managed by the same workers. Every day, she would have an income, so she lived a leisurely life.
The Xue Yantuo tribe had always been large and had a large population. Coupled with the fact that the warriors from the surrounding tribes would occasionally come to the city for a stroll, the streets were bustling with activity. Yang Fan and the others had no way to make a move, so they could only follow Ye An from a distance and watch him walk into a wine shop.
The wine shop had a front shop and a back residence. The workers managed the business in the front shop while the lady boss, Moqi Qingyuan, lived in the residence in the back. As one of the wealthier clans in the area, the foundation of her house and the walls that were less than half a person's height were all made of stone, while the top was made of mud mixed with grass. It was more orderly, stylish, and tidier than ordinary clans.
At this moment, Moqi Qingyuan was warmly sending off her lover from the back door. Back in her tribe, Moqi Qingyuan had been a playboy by nature. After marrying Rong Zhi, she had only been a bride for less than half a year. Once Rong Zhi died, she reverted to her old ways. In any case, there was no one to care about her now, so she became even more aggressive. As a result, she had many lovers.
The person she wanted to send away was called Helian Xiaofei, and he was a small Army Commander in Xue Yantuo Tribe. Under his care, even though Moqi Qingyuan managed a wine shop as a woman, no man dared to bully her.
Helian Xiaofei had obviously just obtained his satisfaction. Not only was his smile frivolous, even his steps were a little frivolous. He frivolously pinched Moqi Qingyuan's plump breasts, chuckled and said, "Then I'll go back now. I'll come find you again tonight."
Moqi Qingyuan was as sturdy and tall as most of the prairie girls, but her facial features didn't look ugly because of her broad frame. On the contrary, she looked very charming, especially her plump breasts and round buttocks, which made these sturdy men from the prairie even more infatuated with her.
Hearing Helian Xiaofei's words, Moqi Qingyuan giggled and said coquettishly, "You, haven't you had enough fun just now?"
Helian Xiaofei said, "Hehe, we're going to set off soon. This trip will take at least a few months before we return. Of course, we have to feed you first."
While the two were teasing each other, a waiter's voice suddenly came from the front yard. Moqi Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Alright, I won't send you off. I have something to do in the shop. I'll be waiting for you tonight."
Yang Fan and the others led their horses all the way to the wine shop, stopping not far away. Yang Fan said, "There are too many people walking around in this city. If we wait for him to come out, it won't be easy to make our move. We can only sneak in and capture him."
He pondered for a moment, then said to Zhang Yi, "Brother Zhang, can you get us a carriage? This person is very important, we must capture him alive. When we take him away later, we can't leave any traces behind. "
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? As long as we have money, there's nothing we can't do here. Just leave this matter to me."
Yang Fan said, "Alright, go get us a carriage and park it at the entrance of the backyard!"
Zhang Yi responded and hurriedly led the other two away. Yang Fan then said to Goosako and Big Bear, "When the carriage arrives, the three of us will sneak in. It's best if we don't alarm the people in the shop, but if we're discovered …"
At this point, Yang Fan suddenly had a strange feeling, as if someone was spying on him. Turning his head, Yang Fan saw people walking back and forth on the street. A fully loaded carriage was creaking and twisting as it slowly moved forward. Not far away, two drunken warriors were quarreling on the side of the road. The hawkers on the side of the street were shouting out their wares, and a thin Turkic warrior was leading a camel as he leisurely dodged the crowd. There was nothing out of the ordinary about him.
Yang Fan frowned. Although he didn't discover anything suspicious, he still couldn't get rid of that sudden palpitation. He turned his head and said to Goosako and Big Bear, "Forget it, it's best if there's someone outside to receive us. You two go in, I'll stand guard outside. It's best if we don't reveal ourselves, but if we do, you two … "
Yang Fan used his palm like a knife and lightly chopped down. Goosako and Big Bear understood. They nodded, handed the horse to Yang Fan, and quietly dispersed.
Yang Fan led the horse and subconsciously looked back, but he still didn't see anything strange. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Grand Master said that the older one is in the martial world, the more timid they are. Am I considered an old martial world veteran? Why am I suddenly so suspicious?"
Tin Aino calmly led the camel and walked away at a leisurely pace. It wasn't until he turned a corner of an alley and left Yang Fan's line of sight that her secretly tensed shoulders relaxed.
She let out a soft sigh and stroked the beautiful curved beard on her lips. She thought to herself, "This guy has only been a horse bandit on the grassland for a month. How did he become more vigilant than a wolf? I only looked at him twice, and he almost noticed me!"
