"No, Tory must die!"

It was Duan Mingchen who spoke.It turned out that Duan Mingchen had been secretly rushing to the acupoints after being restrained by Gu Huaiqing. Although he couldn't move at this time, he was able to speak.

Hearing this, Gu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and glared angrily at Duan Mingchen.

Duan Mingchen looked at him calmly, as if what he said was justified.

"Why? Give me a reason!" Gu Huaiqing asked through gritted teeth.

Duan Mingchen said: "Because Toli is the heir to the throne of the Wusun Kingdom, and Wusun is our enemy. King Wusun is ambitious and has secretly formed an alliance with the Tatars, which has repeatedly disadvantaged us."

Gu Huaiqing retorted in dissatisfaction: "Even if Wusun is hostile to my great country, how can we use such a conspiracy to deal with them? Besides, even if there is no Toli, Wusun will have other princes as heirs." , can’t solve the problem at all.”

Duan Mingchen sighed: "Huaiqing, you are still young after all. The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, how can you be soft-hearted and pay attention to the morals of the world when dealing with the enemy? Toli is the most capable son of King Wusun. Of course it's beneficial."

"Okay, I admit that what you said has some truth, but you have killed Monta, Fanny and Ma Dabeard, Da Qi's confidant has been cured, and the people outside must have been killed by the people you brought Letting go of a Toli will not interfere with the overall situation." Gu Huaiqing's tone softened a bit, and he persuaded, "Toli...his nature is not bad, it's just because he is the Prince Wusun and he is quite capable. Does he deserve to die? I can make him promise not to tell what happened today, and you let him go, okay?"

However, Gu Huaiqing's intercession did not change Duan Mingchen's mind.

"It is true that Toli is not necessarily a bad person, and he is even kind to you, but when you stand on the battlefield, are the enemies you face all bad people? They are also human beings, with wives, children and families. But once on the battlefield, all these can only be left behind, and you must fight with your heart and fight to the death. This is war!" Duan Mingchen sighed slightly, "Let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles, Wusun people have always been cunning , don’t be credulous. Huaiqing, I can promise you everything else, but this is the only thing I can’t agree to.”

Gu Huaiqing was annoyed, the dagger in his hand slid down, Duan Mingchen's robe shattered into two pieces with a snort, exposing his bare and strong back.

Gu Huaiqing said in a deep voice: "You know my temper, don't force me!"

However, Duan Mingchen didn't say anything, he just stared at Gu Huaiqing with a pair of starry eyes as deep as the sea, like a generous and loving elder brother looking at a willful and mischievous younger brother.

Gu Huaiqing was so angry that her face flushed red, and she was so cruel that she moved the dagger forward and cut a slender gash on Duan Mingchen's back. She gritted her teeth and said, "You...you are not afraid that I will kill you!"

Duan Mingchen felt a stabbing pain in his waist, but he was unafraid, and instead smiled, with gentle brows and eyes.

"Huaiqing, you won't."

Looking at Duan Mingchen's unbeatable smile, Gu Huaiqing wished he could bite off a piece of his flesh.This man is sure that he won't really hurt him, right?

It is true that Gu Huaiqing would not do anything to Duan Mingchen, but he would also not sit back and watch Duan Mingchen kill Toli.Toli had saved him from a horse thief, and he had saved his life. He was still his cousin, and a relative who was connected with him by blood. Just because of this, Gu Huaiqing couldn't just ignore death.

If Duan Mingchen doesn't want to enter, then he can only start with Xiaohei.

Gu Huaiqing tapped Duan Mingchen's Ya acupoint neatly, pointed the dagger at Duan Mingchen's throat, and tried to stab it down.

Xiao Hei hurriedly said: "Don't! You have something to say!"

Gu Huaiqing took the opportunity to say: "Xiao Hei, listen carefully. You hand over Toli to me, and I will hand over Duan Mingchen to you. Then you activate the mechanism and let us go out."

Although Xiao Hei knew that Gu Huaiqing and Duan Mingchen seemed to have a very good friendship, but Gu Huaiqing had turned his face and looked ruthless. If he really accidentally hurt Duan Mingchen, it would be difficult to explain it.So Xiao Hei had no choice but to nod his head in agreement with Gu Huaiqing's proposal, no matter what, let's save Master Duan first.

The two exchanged hostages, and Xiao Hei tried to unlock Duan Mingchen's acupuncture points, but found that he couldn't.

Gu Huaiqing said: "I used an exclusive acupuncture technique, so don't move around. I'll help him untie it after he gets out."

Gu Huaiqing sealed off Duan Mingchen's acupoints in order to prevent extraneous problems, and did not release Toli's acupoints, so he only waited until he got out.

The mechanism of the tomb was actually hidden in the floating golden coffin. It turned out that the coffin was empty inside, and there was a thin and tough thread hanging from the top. Looking from a distance, it seemed to be suspended in the air.

After the mechanism was activated, a skylight popped open on the top of the tomb, and a rope hung down.Faint starlight came in, they had been in the tomb for several hours, and it was already night.

Xiao Hei carried the unconscious Toli on his back, grabbed the rope, climbed over, and passed through the window.Gu Huaiqing also carried Duan Mingchen on his back, and followed Xiao Hei out of the tomb.

The place they came out was different from the place they went in, they had already left the red quicksand trap, and the seven-star column was far behind.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, the weather is hot and dry during the day, but the temperature drops rapidly at night, and the chill is refreshing.

Looking at the sky, the cold moon is silent, the stars are shining brightly, the sand dunes are rolling, and the quiet desert is boundless.

Gu Huaiqing took a few deep breaths of fresh air, but smelled a strong smell of blood.

A melodious horn sounded in my ears, and countless people and horses rushed out from behind the sand dunes. They were wearing familiar black armor and red robes. They were the Daqi army. Judging from the formation, the number of people was probably no less than two thousand.

Gu Huaiqing's heart sank slightly, it was obvious that Da Qi had come prepared and had set up a net. The other teams, including the Wusun warriors led by Toli, might have been slaughtered.In this way, even if Toli is released, it may be difficult to leave smoothly.

"Master, please untie Lord Duan's acupuncture points." Xiao Hei whispered.

Daqi's two thousand soldiers are all soldiers brought by Duan Mingchen, they are very loyal to him, they only follow Duan Mingchen's command, if they know that Duan Mingchen is being kidnapped, they don't know what they will do.

Gu Huaiqing also understood this truth, and waved his hand to untie Duan Mingchen's acupoints, and at the same time untie Toli's acupoints.

Ignoring Duan Mingchen's warning eyes, Gu Huaiqing coughed lowly, leaned into Toli's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, would you like to visit Daqi for a few days?"

Although Toli was drowsy, he was an extremely intelligent person, and he immediately understood when he saw this posture.His reaction was also extremely quick, and suddenly he poked Gu Huaiqing's waist with his fingers.

The two were very close, Gu Huaiqing was distracted to prevent Duan Mingchen from rushing over, he was completely unprepared for Toli to attack him, and he succeeded in sneak attacking him!

Toli's distance was too close and his speed was so fast that even Duan Mingchen and Xiao Hei had no time to stop him, they could only watch Gu Huaiqing being held in Toli's arms.

"Let go of Master!" Xiao Hei said angrily.

Duan Mingchen's anger became more intense, and his face was so gloomy that the sky was about to rain, but he was able to control his emotions better, trying to maintain a calm tone, and said: "Your Highness, you should be able to judge the current situation. You are alone, do you want to fight We have an army of two thousand? If you are tied up, there is still a glimmer of life, stubborn resistance will only speed up your demise, holding Huaiqing will not help you at all."

"Duan Mingchen, do you think I'm a fool? If I surrender, even if I don't die, I will only be a prisoner for the rest of my life! Of course I am not your opponent by myself, but..."

Toli stretched out his hand and clasped Gu Huaiqing's neck, his fingers were tightly bound, making Gu Huaiqing unable to breathe, his fair face flushed, "It doesn't matter if I die, with him by my side, we can be companions on the way to Huangquan. Master Duan, are you willing to let him die?"

Xiao Hei couldn't help cursing: "You are so wolf-hearted, just now the master was pleading for you, and you actually repay your kindness!"

Duan Mingchen's face was livid, and his eyes were filled with anger, but he had to suppress his anger and asked, "Say, what conditions do you want?"

Toli raised his chin and said to Xiao Hei, "Go and bring Chixia and Xuelian over here."

Xiao Hei glanced at Duan Mingchen, Duan Mingchen nodded at him, and Xiao Hei led the two horses over as he said.

Toli said, "Leave the horses behind, and retreat ten miles!"

Neither Duan Mingchen nor Xiao Hei moved, Duan Mingchen frowned and said, "You can't take Huaiqing away."

Toli smiled coldly, and suddenly pulled out a pistol from his bosom. It was the one used by Ma Dabeard before, but he secretly hid it at some point.

Toli pointed the muzzle of the gun at Gu Huaiqing's thigh, and skillfully moved the trigger, only to hear a bang, Gu Huaiqing's left leg was shot, his whole body was shaking with pain, and blood gushed out from the wound on his thigh.

"You!!" Duan Mingchen almost jumped up, and roared furiously, "Damn it, what are you going to do?"

"I've said it before, step back, ten miles away!" Tolly's glazed eyes flashed with crazy light, obviously driven to panic, "I lived in the desert since I was a child, and my ears are very sensitive. I can hear the hooves of the horses within. As long as I hear you approaching, I will shoot him. If you don't care about his life, just try to catch up!"

Duan Mingchen could tell that Toli was serious, his crazy demeanor was no different from that of a desperado, a person could do anything at the moment of life and death.The situation that was supposed to be sure of winning was disrupted by Tory's gambler-like behavior.

Duan Mingchen looked at Gu Huaiqing who was hugged by Toli's waist, his eyes were tightly closed, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he stubbornly bit his lip, bleeding marks from biting his lower lip, showing how severe the pain was.Duan Mingchen's heart felt as if it had been torn apart, the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

"My lord..." Xiao Hei asked hesitantly.

Behind them, two thousand brave soldiers waited silently for Duan Mingchen's order.

Duan Mingchen closed his eyes in pain, raised his arm high, and swung it back heavily.

"withdraw!"
