Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

When Achinade led the main force to attack Dasheng, Utimu took the opportunity to enter the royal court, so Achinade had to give up Dasheng and lead his troops back to help the royal court.

After the two sides fought, Achinade narrowly won, but suffered heavy losses as a result. He was unable to continue to attack Dasheng, so he proposed a peace agreement with Dasheng.

After Wutimu was defeated, he retreated back to the eastern grasslands, waiting for a chance to make a comeback.

To be honest, if there is no "provocation" by Lou Yu, the grievances between Utimu and Achinade may not be resolved until a few years later.

When Wutimu grew up, his appearance changed a lot, and he also changed his name. Achinade didn't recognize him, and only regarded him as an ambitious young man in the eastern grassland.

I thought that after repelling him last time, this person would not come again in a short time.

Unexpectedly, this person actually appeared again!

The two parties confronted each other outside the royal court.

Seeing Achinade's distressed appearance, Wutimu's heart burst with joy, without saying anything nonsense, he raised his knife and slashed at Achinade!

Just now in the battle with Abalu in the Wangzhang, Archinade was exhausted, his soldiers fought with Abalu's men, and there were many dead and wounded. Extremely depressed.

Wutimu kept a low profile for many days, and his elite soldiers and strong generals fought fiercely, shouting to kill and shaking the sky, and went straight to the royal court.

Seeing that Abalu had already run away, and he was deeply entangled by Wutimu again, Achinade felt depressed and angry, and his eyes were red.

He couldn't figure it out, he had clearly arranged guards outside the court, how did the Wutimu group come here!

"Who the hell are you! Why did you sneak attack on the royal court!"

Archinade was surrounded by personal guards, shouting angrily.

Wu Timu ignored it, and mercilessly beheaded the soldiers who blocked his footsteps, and the long knife was stained with blood.

Remnants of limbs and flesh, blood flowing oars.

The entire royal court fell into darkness, like a purgatory on earth.

"My lord, what should we do now?" A subordinate asked anxiously.

Achinade was anxious in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

He said deeply: "We were exhausted by Abalu, and this group of people took advantage of the situation to enter, but they just wanted to occupy the royal court. What's the point of letting this king give him up?!"

On the grassland, the royal court can be anywhere, as long as it has enough strength.

The subordinates understood.

"My lord, we will protect you to retreat!"

They used the main force to drag Utimu, and a small group of personal guards escorted Achinade to turn around and escape in the opposite direction.

But before he ran very far, he was stopped by a group of people again.

The leader is Song Han.

Song Han rode on a tall horse, majestic and imposing.

"Songhan! What are you doing!"

Achinade was shocked, judging from Songhan's expression and faint confrontation, he would not naively think that Songhan came to save him.

Songhan smiled innocently: "I said, I have to repay the kindness of saving my life."

Achinade's subordinates didn't know why, and shouted: "Since you want to repay the king for saving your life, then get out of the way!"

"I didn't say to repay King Gutu's favor." Songhan finished speaking with a half-smile, and directly ordered, "Go!"

There are still many warriors in the Aglo tribe.

Although they didn't understand what Songhan had done, they had always been accustomed to obeying Songhan, so they rushed up to fight with Achinade's men and horses.

Something flashed in Achinade's mind, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It's him! It's Lou Yu!"

Songhan has rushed in front of him, raised his long knife and was about to cut down.

"I come!"

A shout came from behind Achinade.

The two knives pierced Archinade's body almost simultaneously.

One is from Wutimu and the other is from Songhan.

The former is from back to front, and the latter is from front to back.

Achinade's eyes were about to burst, and he stared at the two unwillingly before falling to the ground.

"why……"

Why did things turn out this way?

He really doesn't understand!

Wutimu looked ferocious, and sneered: "You killed the former King Gutu 15 years ago, you should have imagined that you would have such a day."

He finally killed his enemy and avenged his father!

Achinade looked at him, and found a familiar shadow in his eyebrows.

That's it...that's it!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and looked at Songhan again.

Songhan smiled: "You use me to deliberately spread rumors about the 'Shendan', not only wanting the loyalty of the Aglo tribe, but also wanting to get a higher price from the Dasheng embassy, ​​what a beautiful idea!"

Even if Lou Yu said in advance that the "divine elixir" has only half the chance, as long as Songhan is not saved, Archinade can completely coerce the anger of the Aglo tribe into putting pressure on the Shengguo mission to break the contract.

And Achinade, in this conspiracy, did not need to pay any cost at all, except for some precious medicinal materials used to hang Song Han.

But he missed the variable Lou Yu.

After Songhan agreed to cooperate, Wutimu took advantage of Lou Yu's relationship to get online with him, and used his tribe to cover up the soldiers and horses, thus avoiding Achinade's sentry inspection.

Everything is under Lou Yu's control.

Archinade finally figured it out.

Lou Yu is the one who really controls the situation, and he is just a clown in his eyes.

The light in King Gutu's eyes was completely annihilated.

On the other side, Lou Yu, Huo Yan, and Yan Hui left Wangting quickly and headed east to the temporary camp.

This place still belongs to Achinade's sphere of influence, but it is not too close to the royal court. Achinade is still fighting in the royal court and has no time to take care of this side for the time being.

The three hundred Qingqi in Gyeongju set up their tents in advance to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness.

As soon as Lou Yu arrived, 300 people knelt down and saluted in unison, with reverence in their eyes.

"Get up."

Lou Yu got off his horse and told everyone: "Take 100 people to 'respond' to the rest of the envoys."

They have left the royal court, but the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are still in the royal court.

The three hundred imperial guards resting outside the royal court could not be ignored either.

Just hope they can be smarter.

Three hundred cavalry led the order, and immediately 100 people put on masks and went to "response", while the remaining 200 people were stationed around the camp to observe the wind and grass.

Lou Yu led Huo Yan and Yan Hui into the account.

As soon as he sat down, Huo Yan handed over a cup of hot tea.

Riding against the cold wind, it was indeed a bit freezing.

Lou Yu took a sip, warming his heart, and his frozen mind finally came alive.

Seeing Yan Hui's confused face, but he was afraid to speak because of his instructions, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Now we can talk."

Yan Hui had reached the limit, and blurted out: "Your Highness, who are Huo Erlang and those cavalrymen just now?"

In fact, he wanted to ask, are these all soldiers and horses from Gyeongju?

If it is the soldiers and horses of Gyeongju, why are they dispatched by the son of Gyeongju at will?

After all, the Holy Majesty has confiscated the military power of the feudal king!

Lou Yu didn't answer his question, but instead asked: "Yan Shilang, do you think this mission to Agutu was successful?"

"Of course it was successful!" Yan Hui immediately replied, "It is all because of His Highness's ingenuity to take back Danzhou unconditionally!"

"Since the meritorious deeds of the mission are complete, why should Mr. Yan care about other things?" Lou Yu smiled warmly.

Yan Hui's heart trembled.

To be honest, Prince Qing could have taken advantage of the chaos in the royal court to kill himself, but he didn't do so, which shows that he is not a vicious and bloodthirsty person.

Yan Hui is also not an ungrateful person, he can't push the prince into the fire pit like Du Zhi did.

Then he kindly reminded: "There are so many people who talk about it, has your Highness thought about how to explain it to the Holy One?"

The reason why he can get Danzhou back unconditionally is because Lou Yu used the "magic pill" to save Song Han.

Now everyone thinks that Lou Yu has a magic pill in his hand, if it reaches the emperor's ears, what will the emperor think?

Yan Hui felt that this matter was quite difficult.

But I heard Lou Yu say: "There is no magic pill in the first place. The success of this plan is inseparable from the superb medical skills of the missionary doctor."

Yan Hui: "Huh?"

Why can't he understand what the prince is saying?

Lou Yu explained: "The witch doctor concluded that Songhan couldn't be saved, but it was because of his inexperienced medical skills. The doctors of our mission have practiced medicine in the capital for many years and have rich experience. Yan Shilang really thinks that he can't save Songhan?"

Yan Hui was dumbfounded: "The lower official thought that before Abalu asked the doctor to give Song Han a diagnosis, His Highness didn't get along with the doctor, so why did the doctor intentionally say the wrong diagnosis?"

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, no one will know?"

"The doctor..."

Lou Yu said with a smile: "If it wasn't for his excellent medical skills to save Song Han, I would not be able to set up this situation and take back Danzhou unconditionally. How do you think His Majesty will reward him for such a great contribution?"

"..."

Yan Hui really understood.

Who can resist such a temptation?

Why not be able to gain a well-known meritorious service, fulfill one's own reputation, and be rewarded by the emperor for nothing?

This is an honor that can be recorded in the annals of history!

Who would foolishly tell the truth if the whole situation was reversed by "one's own power"?

Yan Hui was really convinced.

Prince Qing's ability to manipulate people's hearts is truly daunting.

He couldn't help asking: "Your Highness told the subordinates, are you not afraid that the subordinates will report to the court?"

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing: "Yan Shilang understands righteousness deeply, and he has the ambition to rise to the sky, so how can he be a salamander of Chize?"

Before his mission, he asked Feng Sanmo to investigate Yan Hui.

Although Yan Hui has the common problem of "judging people by their appearance", he is not a fighter.

He is smooth, but without losing his heart.

In his heart, he has a steelyard.

The successful completion of the task of negotiating peace as an envoy is enough for Yan Hui.

According to his temperament, even if he sees some clues, there will be no more troubles.

At this juncture, it is best to maintain the status quo.

Otherwise, once it is ignited, the entire Dasheng will fall into a long-term war.

This is what he does not want to see.

When Yan Hui heard the words, his heart surged and his eyes were slightly hot, so he bowed and bowed.

He didn't ask any more questions, and only said: "At present, the royal court is in chaos, and the rest of the officials and Deputy Commander Du are still staying in the yurt. I hope they will be fine."

Lou Yu smiled: "You don't have to worry about Yan Shilang."

Feng Erbi and Song Yan went out after the servants of Agutubu took away Lou Yu and Yan Hui.

It is not for nothing that Song Yan spends time in the royal court these days.

He is proficient in the language of the Agutu tribe, and often eavesdropped on the private chats of the attendants, so he analyzed the storage place of the royal court's grain and grass.

He and Feng Erbi split into two groups.

Feng Erbi came to the tents of the members of the mission, pretended to be idle, chatted with the attendants, and after chatting for a few words, he said:

"Brother, this is the first time I have come to the grassland. It feels very different from our Central Plains. The wind is wilder than that of the Central Plains, and the moon is bigger than that of the Central Plains. It's just a pity. We will go back soon."

It's boring for a servant to guard the door every day, so someone talks to him naturally very enthusiastically: "I can come to the grassland if I have a chance in the future!"

"The road is too far," Feng Erbi shook his head, "I have been in your royal court for so long, and I haven't been out much. I am going to leave soon. I am really reluctant. I wonder if there is any good scenery near your royal court. , I want to take a few more glances before leaving."

The attendant pointed to the west: "There is a lake over there, which is very beautiful, but it is winter now, and the water is drying up, so it is not as beautiful as summer."

"anything else?"

The attendant thought for a while, then shook his head: "There is really nothing to see in winter."

"Ok."

Feng Erbi shook his head regretfully, "But I still want to remember this beautiful grassland. I'm afraid I won't see it again when I return to the Central Plains."

"You can go out and have a look." The attendant suggested sincerely.

Feng Erbi frowned: "But I want to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the grassland all the time in the future!"

Everyone will be happy when their hometown is praised.

The squire became visibly more enthusiastic.

He couldn't help feeling worried: "Then what should we do?"

Feng Erbi pretended to think for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It can be like this! Brother, I can draw it!"

"Painting?" The attendant was surprised, "Is it too late to paint now?"

Feng Erbi said: "It's too late! All of us in the mission are good at painting! Let's paint together, there should be enough time!"

"But..." the attendant was confused, "Your Majesty said that the envoys can only leave the royal court after the farewell feast is over."

"What's the difference between before the farewell party and after the farewell party?" Feng Erbi pleaded, "Anyway, the envoy and deputy envoy have already gone to the king's tent, and we can set off back after the banquet is over, but I and the others went out early That's all."

The servant remained silent.

Feng Erbi continued: "Oh, don't worry, just follow us all the time? The grassland is so big, and we don't know the way, so we have to help us lead the way!"

"I really want to paint the scenery of the grassland and bring it back to the Central Plains, so that the people of the Central Plains can appreciate the beauty of the grassland! By then, literati will write articles praising the grassland. Isn't that good?"

The servant's vanity soared instantly.

Let the Central Plains people praise the grassland?Thinking about it is really a little exciting!

The Central Plains has always called them "barbarians", and they are not without sadness.

Think about it carefully, if people in the Central Plains can also find the beauty of the prairie and yearn for their prairie, that would be great!

These envoys looked so weak that they couldn't run far even if they wanted to.

And they were about to set off to go back, so it shouldn't be a problem to go out a little earlier, right?

What's more, the chief envoy and deputy envoy are still in the king's tent!

The servant nodded in agreement.

Feng Erbi entered the yurt of the mission again, and in the name of Lou Yu and Yan Hui, ordered all the members of the mission to follow behind him.

Seeing that they were attendants of his own tribe, the guards of the royal court asked a few words and let them go.

A group of people came to the lake to sketch.

In the cold wind, the envoys were so cold that they couldn't hold their pens, but they had to resign themselves to their fate to paint.

To be honest, the servants of Agutubu were too innocent, they had never experienced any intrigue since they were young, and they were deceived by Feng Erbi with a few words.

For the plan of "leading the members of the mission to leave the royal court", Lou Yu proposed several plans, and "deceiving the attendants" was just the mildest one, and he didn't even use a big move.

Feng Erbi felt deeply sorry.

On the other side, Song Yan secretly changed into the clothes of Agutubu's attendant and put on a felt hat.

Today, King Gutu held a farewell banquet for the delegation, and the court was a little busy, and the cronies of Achinade and Abalu were all nervous, thinking only about the upcoming power grab, no one would care about a little attendant.

He walked towards the granary generously and naturally.

There are guards outside the granary.

It is quite far from the residence of the mission. Song Yan usually works around the yurt of the mission. He has never met the guard of the granary. Even if the guard saw him, he would not know his true identity.

Song Yan hid outside the felt room not far away, and after confirming that there was no one inside, he lit the felt cloth with a torch.

The fire burned quickly.

This yurt is located in the northwest of the granary, and now the northwest wind is blowing, which helps the fire. If the fire is not extinguished, it is likely to spread to the granary.

Song Yan took the opportunity to exclaim in barbaric language: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The yurt was burning, and the heat wave came with the wind.

The granary guards were alarmed, and quickly mobilized some of them to lead the rest of the tribe to fetch water and put out the fire.

Song Yan mixed in the crowd, "accidentally" lit another empty yurt.

Everyone thought it was the wind that brought it over.

A fire near the granary was no small matter, and the guards immediately sent people to Wang's tent to report to King Gutu.

Seeing that the chaos had been created, Song Yan withdrew from the crowd and ran outside the Wang court.

Abalu's soldiers and horses have been lying in ambush not far from the royal court, paying close attention to the movement of the royal court and waiting for the messenger to deliver the message.

As a result, the messenger didn't come, but Wang Ting suddenly caught fire.

This incident made Abalu's subordinates have to think about it.

Wang Ting must have changed!

No matter what, they have to go to meet King Youxian!

As a result, Abalu's subordinates directly led their troops into the royal court.

The Dasheng imperial guards have been stationed outside the royal court, and they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this.

The court is in chaos?

But the mission and Deputy Commander Du are still inside!

How to do this?

At this moment, Li Shu suddenly appeared with a dozen of Lou Yu's guards.

"The royal court is in chaos! Let's take advantage of the chaos and escape! Your Highness and the others have all gone to the east, so let's go too!"

The imperial guards were already at a loss, and when they heard this, they foolishly left with him.

They thought Du Zhi was with the mission.

At Feng Erbi's side, the attendants saw the Wangting was on fire, and saw a large number of soldiers and horses rushing towards the Wangting. They didn't care about the group of people who were painting, and rushed towards the Wangting.

Mission member: "..."

Too bad, His Highness and Lord Yan are still in the royal court!

They quickly put away their pens and papers, and looked in the direction of Wang Ting in a daze.

Feng Erbi said: "The situation is unclear now, all adults please follow me first."

"where to?"

"The sword has no eyes, so naturally find a place to hide."

In this way, under the leadership of Feng Erbi, Li Shu, Song Yan and others, the members of the mission and the imperial guards met smoothly.

Everyone can't help but sigh.

Member of the mission: "Guard Li, His Royal Highness and Lord Yan are still in the royal court, should we just sit back and do nothing?"

The imperial guards were puzzled: "Didn't your Highness and the others escape while taking advantage of the chaos?"

"..."

Before Li Shu could speak, a hundred cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's not a barbarian again, is it?"

"Shall we hide?"

"It's messed up! It's really messed up!"

Hundreds of cavalry surrounded them, all of them were wearing black clothes and masks, and shouted: "Take them all back to me!"

Everyone: "..."

Some imperial guards wanted to resist, but Li Shu stopped them.

"Don't act rashly."

The Gyeongju cavalry wore masks, and the members of the mission and the imperial guards had no idea who they were, and only regarded them as barbarian cavalry on the grassland.

Taken to the temporary camp, they unexpectedly met Lou Yu and Yan Hui.

"Why are Your Highness and Lord Yan here?"

Yan Hui had already decided to help Lou Yu conceal it, he only said: "His Royal Highness and I were led to a remote place by the attendants, and suddenly a cavalry rushed us and brought us here."

"Master Yan, do you know who they are?"

Yan Hui shook his head and asked, "How did you get here?"

Then someone told Yan Hui about everything.

Yan Hui: "..."

He couldn't help looking at Lou Yu.

Lou Yu said, "As long as everyone is safe."

Someone reminded: "There is also Deputy Commander Du! He is not here!"

Lou Yu looked at Yan Hui: "What should I do?"

"Hey, we are all trapped here right now, even if we want to save Deputy Commander Du, we have more than enough energy."

He made sense.

The group of cavalry just now didn't know who they were, they couldn't protect themselves now, they couldn't save Du Zhi at all.

Lou Yu sighed lightly: "Everyone, don't worry too much. Deputy Commander Du is highly skilled in martial arts, and he will definitely be able to keep himself safe."

Everyone was speechless.

The battle of the king's court is finally over.

Achinade finally died of hatred, and Abalu took advantage of the chaos and fled to the north. Before Abutu could react, he was tied up by the rope and knelt in front of Wutimu with a dazed expression.

"You killed my father?!" Abutu finally came back to his senses, roaring with red eyes.

The Wuti wooden knife was pressed against his neck, and his eyes were cold and fierce: "Achinade killed my father, why should I kill him? Is he, Achinade, the only one in the world who is allowed to stain his hands with blood? "

Abutu froze on the spot, choking dumbly.

Utimu didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him. Although he didn't like Achinade and Abalu, he even looked down on Abutu.

Unfortunately, in order to intercept Archinade in time, he had to give up Abalu.

"You choose, dead or alive?"

Abutu asked blankly, "Will you let me go?"

Isn't it cutting grass and roots?

Of course Wutimu didn't want to let him go, but he made a deal with Lou Yu.

"Someone asked me to give you two roads, one is to go down to see Archinade, the other is to raise horses for him, which one do you choose?"

Abutu asked, "Who is he?"

"Why are you asking so many nonsense!" Wutimu was full of anger, "Choose quickly!"

Abutu lowered his eyes.

There is a saying in the Central Plains: If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

The father is dead, and the younger brother is missing, and now the royal court is occupied by this person in front of him, he can't die!

"I choose the second option."

Wutimu sneered: "No."

He had Abutu's head covered, tied to a horse, and led the men to Lou Yu's camp.

The members of the mission were waiting anxiously in the camp, when they suddenly saw Utimu leading the crowd, they were panicked, fearing that they would be beheaded by the bloody Utimu.

Unexpectedly, Wutimu said: "I am the new king of Agutubu, please see your envoy."

Feng Erbi came out at the right time: "Please come in."

Wutimu went into Lou Yu's camp.

In the camp, Lou Yu and his close friends are among them, including Yan Hui.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see."

As soon as Wutimu came in, the smell of blood filled the entire camp.

Yan Hui couldn't help frowning.

When he looked at Lou Yu, he found that Prince Qing was calm and relaxed, as if he was used to seeing blood, and he was unmoved in the slightest.

The meaning of worship rose again in my heart.

What Fan Gong said is right, Yu Shizi, who holds pearls and jades in his arms, has an unrivaled talent, so he should not be neglected.

Lou Yu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, happy cooperation."

Wutimu's eyes were deep, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I have already brought it to you."

"Thank you." Lou Yu cupped his hands, "Congratulations to Shopkeeper Wu for becoming the new king of the Northern Territory."

Wutimu narrowed his eyes: "It's a pity that Abalu escaped. I heard that Abalu once attacked the mission with a pack of domesticated wolves. I didn't expect that the crown prince would let him go."

When formulating the cooperation plan, Lou Yu never thought of killing Abalu.

Achinade died, and Utimu became the new king, which meant that he not only had power in the eastern grasslands, but also in the west.

His control over the North will be greater than that of Archinade.

For the sake of Dasheng's frontier, Lou Yu must not let him become powerful.

He wants to give Wutimu a potential enemy.

Abalu is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, if Abalu died in the royal court during the melee, it would be due to his own incompetence, and it would not be a pity to die.

Lou Yu pretended to be regretful and said, "I thought Archinade would seriously injure Abalu, and then you would be able to catch them all. Unfortunately, Abalu still escaped."

Wutimu didn't believe his nonsense, but the matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk more, so he went out of the account and said to the outsiders:

"You are the envoys of the Sheng Kingdom, I will not kill you, but you must return to the Sheng Kingdom immediately, and don't stay on the grassland!"

Deep down in his heart, he naturally wanted to keep Lou Yu on the grassland, but Lou Yu had already been deployed in the eastern grassland, and Songhan of the Aglo tribe would also protect Lou Yu because of his life-saving grace.

Once he becomes murderous, the tribes in the eastern grassland will face danger, and Songhan will fight against him because of this.

Right now, he has just regained the royal court, and has not really subdued the Agu Tubu, so he can't act rashly.

Lou Yu had calculated his psychology correctly, so naturally he wouldn't worry.

He said in front of everyone: "I would like to ask King Gutu to do me another favor."

Wutimu said angrily: "Say."

"There is Deputy Commander Du in the mission. Could you please ask King Gutu to find him? He is from Sheng, and he is wearing the military uniform of the Sheng Kingdom. He should be easy to identify."

Wutimu almost rolled his eyes: "Let your people find it by themselves."

After saying that, he turned and left the camp.

The members of the mission outside the tent watched Wutimu come and go without beheading a single person, so they couldn't help but feel relieved.

What was even more exciting was that the group of masked cavalry surrounding them also withdrew!

The masked cavalry were Lou Yu's three hundred light cavalry. They were ordered by Lou Yu to escort Abutu to the southern grassland of the Darmu Grassland after Wutimu left.

Now there are only a group of missionaries left in the camp.

Yan Hui came forward at the right time and confessed to the imperial guards: "King Xingutu agrees that you all enter the royal court to look for Deputy Commander Du, everyone go as soon as possible, and return immediately when you find someone."

The crowd cheered, surrounded Lou Yu and returned to the royal court.

Huo Yan sneaked into Lou Yu's guard, but did not attract the attention of others.

When they arrived at the royal court, the imperial guards happily went in to find someone, but after a while, they came out with a serious expression.

They were carrying a dead body.

Du Zhi died, he was hacked to death with a knife.

The knife edge cut a crack on the neck, and the blood was already black.

They asked the surviving attendants of Wang Zhang, and the attendants honestly explained the process of Du Zhi's death.

Yan Hui shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity."

Then he looked at Lou Yu, waiting for Lou Yu to express his opinion.

Lou Yu looked pitiful: "Unfortunately, Vice Commander Du was killed by barbarians. God is really jealous of talents. 50 people will escort the body of Vice Commander Du back to Beijing for burial, and the rest will follow me to Danzhou City!"

Although the letter of credence has been signed, Achinade is dead.

Danzhou city is full of Achinade's subordinates.

Lou Yu wanted to rush over to Danzhou as soon as possible before the news of Wang Ting's change of ownership reached Danzhou.

State affairs are more important than private affairs, and everyone understands it.

Moreover, His Royal Highness sent 50 people to escort the body of Vice Commander Du back to Beijing, which is already the best of benevolence.

The main duty of the Praetorian Guards was originally to protect the safety of the mission, not to escort the remains.

Everyone has no objection.

The mission departs.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure galloped towards him.

"Senior Lou!"

Lou Yu turned around.

Gu Yili ran up to him and took out a mace pendant from her pocket.

"This is the fang of the first wolf I hunted, and I give it to you."

Lou Yu was surprised: "Why?"

"Thank you for saving my father!"

Lou Yu didn't answer, just smiled and said: "No need. The wolf teeth you hunted for the first time are so precious, you can give them to the right person later. Girl, take your leave."

He walked very crisply.

Gu Yili squeezed the mace pendant tightly, pursed her lips and watched his back silently.

Songhan appeared behind her and patted her shoulder kindly.

"Lou Shizi is absolutely extraordinary, maybe in the future, you can meet in another way."

Gu Yili asked: "How long will it be?"

Songhan didn't answer again.

The mission was divided into two groups, one group escorted the remains from Mengzhou, and the other group followed Lou Yu to Danzhou City.

At this time, the Danzhou city pass was garrisoned by soldiers and horses from the Agutu tribe.

When the guard saw the mission group, he immediately stopped them and shouted to stop.

Yan Hui said loudly: "We are the peace mission of Sheng Guo! The letter of credence has been signed! King Gutu has agreed to return Danzhou City! Captain Penu please go out of the city immediately to confirm!"

The man stationed in Danzhou City is Captain Penu under the command of Achinade.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he led his troops to the outside of the city and looked Yan Hui up and down.

"Where's the national book?"

Yan Hui solemnly opened the letter of credence, which was written in the languages ​​of the two countries and stamped with the seals of the two countries.

Exactly.

Penu was guarding the city here, and he had no food or salt for a long time. Most of the people inside and outside the city had already fled. It was a kind of suffering for him to guard an empty city.

Now seeing the letter of credence personally stamped by King Gutu, I feel relieved.

We can finally go back to the grassland!

but--

"Why does the letter of credence say 'unconditional return'?"

Penu didn't think the king would let the tribe suffer.

Yan Hui said with a smile: "Because we, the doctor of Shengguo, saved a person whom King Gutu valued so much, King Gutu decided to return it to Danzhou unconditionally as a token of his gratitude."

Penu: "..."

When did the king become so reasonable?

Although he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't make a fake credential.

Then he ordered his men to call up the soldiers and horses in the city, return them to Danzhou City, and return to the grassland.

These Agutu warriors wanted to go back to the grassland a long time ago, and they were ordered to gather outside the city one after another.

There are thousands of people in total.

Lou Yu couldn't help frowning, but the Danzhou frontier army couldn't break through thousands of barbarians?

At the same time, the Danzhou soldiers outside the city also received the news and rushed to Danzhou City immediately.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

The soldiers of Danzhou wished to kill Pei Nu and the others, but now the peace talks have been reached, and there can be no more disputes.

With red eyes and fists clenched, the two sides finally completed the handover.

The guard of Danzhou is called Xu Deng.

This person is tall and tall, with a well-proportioned appearance, and looks normal on the surface.

But when Penu led the soldiers turned around and ran towards the grassland, he suddenly drew an arrow and stretched his bow to shoot him in the back!

Yan Hui's eyes were about to burst, he didn't even have time to open his mouth, he only felt a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, the tip of the sword broke the bowstring, and the feathered arrow failed to be released.

It's Huo Erlang!

Fortunately, there is Huo Erlang!

Xu Deng's eyes were red with anger: "What are you doing!"

Huo Yan calmly said: "No matter what grievances you have with him, please put it aside. There is civil strife in the royal court of the Agutu tribe, and Achinade is dead. What do you think Penu will do once he knows the news?"

Penu is Archinade's trusted subordinate, and he must never return to the royal court.

Although Abalu fled to the north, he was guilty of patricide, and it was impossible for Penu to be loyal to him.

As for Abutu, Penu didn't like it at all.

Wutimu has controlled most of the territory in the north, and Penu has no escape.

So, in this case, is it possible for him to return to Danzhou?

Even if Xu Deng killed Penu now to eliminate the above possibility, the remaining thousands of barbarians would definitely be aroused to blood.

They don't want to overwhelm.

Xu Deng couldn't figure it out: "So what?"

Everyone: "..."

Huo Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly cut him unconscious, and before the rest of the frontier generals could speak, he ordered in a low voice: "Everyone enter the city quickly!"

He "held hostage" Xu Deng, and everyone had to obey orders.

When all the people entered the city, Danzhou City was completely returned to the frontier army, and the envoys and others breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally completed the task!

Yan Hui asked Lou Yu: "Your Highness, it's getting late, shall we continue on our way, or rest overnight in Danzhou City?"

Lou Yu directly ordered: "Yan Shilang, you and I will ride fast horses to the capital, and everyone else can go slowly."

It's already December, and he still wants to go back to Gyeongju for the New Year as soon as possible!

"Yes!"

The imperial guards and some officials of the Ministry of Rites did not have horses to ride, so they could only slowly grind to the capital.

Not long after Lou Yu and the others left, Xu Deng woke up.

Just as he was about to grit his teeth and find Huo Yan to settle the score, he found that they had already left Danzhou City.

There was nowhere to vent the depression in my heart, and suddenly a soldier came to report: "General! Penu and the others seem to be back again!"

"what!"

Xu Deng jumped up, his fighting spirit surging: "Beat me hard!"

Without the main force of Agutu, you Penu still want to break through the city gate?Don't think about it!

The members of the mission who were still in the city were terrified.

so close!

If they come to Danzhou later, Penu will definitely not return the city after knowing that Achinade is dead!

Outside the city, Penu's eyes were gloomy.

On the way back, he overheard the news that the herdsmen were talking about civil strife in the royal court and the death of the king. He couldn't believe it.

The second prince failed to kill his father, so he fled to the grassland further north.

The crown prince's whereabouts are unknown.

The new king will definitely not accept himself.

The grassland is so big that there is nowhere to go!

He turned back again.

If he takes Danzhou City again, will the Sheng Kingdom court send envoys to negotiate peace with him again?

At that time, he can exchange Danzhou City for countless money, food and cloth!

His idea was indeed very beautiful, but without the support of the Agutu army, it is nothing short of whimsical to want to break through the city gate with only a few thousand people!

The matter of Danzhou has been forgotten by Lou Yu.

They traveled quickly for a night and a day, and finally arrived in Mianzhou at dusk on the second day.

During the flood season this summer, Mianzhou and Qizhou were hit by floods. The imperial court was unable to provide relief, and the people were displaced.

Now the inside and outside of the city are desolate and desolate, less popular.

They rested at the posthouse in Mianzhou City.

Continuously rushing on the road, not only the horses are tired, but the people are also tired.

After so many days in the northern border, Lou Yu was finally able to take a comfortable bath.

Although the posthouses in Mianzhou are not luxurious, they are quite complete with all kinds of utensils.

There is a charcoal basin burning in the house, and there is Tang Pozi under the quilt, which is already warm.

Lou Yu sat on the couch, and Feng Erbi wiped his hair for him.

"Go and rest, I'll do it myself." Lou Yu persuaded.

After walking continuously, Feng Erbi was too tired to keep his eyes open.

"Your Highness, slaves can."

It's a pity that he was dizzy, and just after he finished speaking, the strength of his hand was wrong, which made Lou Yu's scalp hurt.

"hiss--"

"Your Highness, it's a slave's carelessness, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Feng Erbi was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

"Okay, go and rest." Lou Yu urged.

Feng Erbi didn't dare to continue anymore, so he had to leave the room with self-blame.

Lou Yu missed the modern short hair while rubbing.

Long hair is really worrying!

There was another door opening behind him.

Lou Yu couldn't help asking: "Didn't I tell you to rest, why are you back?"

"it's me."

Along with the sound of closing the door, Huo Yan's deep and pleasant voice came.

Lou Yu paused, then laughed: "What are you here for?"

"Come and watch the night for His Highness."

Huo Yanxing walked behind Lou Yu, naturally pulled out the cloth towel, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes to wipe his hair carefully and cautiously
