Chapter 449: I should have done this
Wanyan Yunshu rode at the front, leading Fang Jie and the others straight towards the Sui army camp. They were still far away from the camp when a Sui army cavalry came over to stop them. Fortunately, for a woman like Wanyan Yunshu, it would be difficult for anyone to forget her appearance after just one glance. Most of the Sui soldiers knew this woman who was the liveliest in Langru Mountain, and they didn't know how many men she was the dream lover of.
¡°The princess is back?!¡±
The leader of the rangers shouted in surprise, then blushed subconsciously. Wanyan Yunshu smiled, urged the horse over, reached out and took off the water bag hanging from the side of the saddle of the horse, raised her neck and poured it into her mouth. The water flowed down her chin, and there was a lot of flow. Into clothes.
The team looked straight at it, feeling their throats were dry and swallowing with great difficulty.
"We were in such a hurry that we ran out of water."
Wanyan Yunshu threw the water bag back to the Rangers, and then smiled: "Is my eldest brother still in the camp? We went back to the village first, and then we realized you were all here."
The Rangers were replying quickly: "His Royal Highness is in the camp. If you go in and walk to the left, you will see the cavalry camp. The tallest tent in the cavalry camp belongs to His Highness."
Wanyan Yunshu thanked him and urged his horse forward. The Ranger was looking at her back, as if his soul had been taken away. Shen Qingshan stretched out his hand and squeezed Fang Jie's arm, and laughed in a low voice: "You are so charming as a little lover, those people have lost their souls."
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at her and was too lazy to answer.
Shen Qingshan couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, she hid her face, otherwise the few remaining souls of the ranger soldiers would have been completely blown away.
Wanyan Yunshu¡¯s face was her passport, and no one in the Sui army camp stopped her from entering. She has a warm and straightforward personality and greets everyone she meets. When the soldiers saw her, the smiles on their faces were so sincere and even shy. Shen Qingshan squeezed Fang Jie's arm again and said with a chuckle: "If you occupy her, you may become the public enemy of all the soldiers of the Sui army, and the consequences may be serious."
Fang Jie curled his lips and said, "If I occupy you, wouldn't I have already become a public enemy of the entire Sui Dynasty?"
Shen Qing blushed slightly: "Who in the world knows me? But no one in the Sui army doesn't know her."
Fang Jie smiled: "It smells so sour."
Shen Qingshan: "Bah!"
The group of people entered the camp, turned left, and walked straight in. They didn't go far before they saw the flag of the cavalry camp, and then saw the large banner erected high outside the tallest tent. This is a relatively independent camp, and the people stationed in it are cold cavalry from the Northern Liao region. Although it is almost winter, the men from the Northern Liao region seem to be completely indifferent to the cold. Many people just He was practicing martial arts in the open space with his arms exposed and all his muscles exposed.
Fang Jie looked at it carefully and couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.
There is not much difference in skin color and appearance between these men from the Northern Liao region and the people from the Central Plains. They are generally a bit whiter, but their bodies are exceptionally strong. Those shirtless men got together to wrestle, and the people surrounding them couldn't help but cheer. In the distance, someone was carrying a hundred-jin stone lock and tossing it up and down, seemingly effortlessly. Farther away, a cold cavalryman galloped on his horse and sent out his arrows, stabbing them accurately into the target.
The temperament of these soldiers can be summed up in just two words.
Strong and tough
Fang Jie could see that these people were born warriors. The harsh region of Bei Liao has forged their bodies and their characters. The pride of the men is like the big braid on the back of their heads, swinging back and forth unscrupulously. From birth, they have to face not only the oppression of the Mongolian people, but also the suffering of the harsh environment. Therefore, every mature man is a qualified warrior.
Fang Jie noticed that their weapons were different from those of the Han people and different from those of the Mongolian people.
The Han people are good at using straight swords, while the Mongolian people are good at using curved swords.
This is a phenomenon caused by different fighting habits. The Han people have many infantrymen, and the straight sword is heavy and sharp, which is the only weapon for killing people on the battlefield. The Meng Yuan people are all cavalry. When they hit the enemy with a scimitar while running at high speed, it is easier to draw the knife back and cause the largest wound. People who are struck by a machete often bleed to death.
These cold cavalrymen in Northern Liao used two-handed swords.
This is very unreasonable. It would be awkward for cavalry to use two-handed swords. If they hold the sword with both hands, they cannot control their horses. The standard horizontal sword of the Sui infantry wasTwo-handed sword, the scimitar of the Mongolian Yuan cavalry is a one-handed sword. Different arms and equipment must have their own reasons.
But the cold cavalry in Northern Liao used their strength to tell the world that what makes no sense is what makes sense.
They can control the horse without using their hands at all, relying only on their legs. Even many cold cavalrymen are not used to using saddles. For those with poor riding skills, not using a saddle is simply a nightmare. Precisely because they control the horse like an arm and a finger, they can free both hands. So much so that their weapons were unique, longer than the Sui Dynasty's standard horizontal sword, but with a curvature.
When the cold cavalry saw Wanyan Yunshu, they immediately burst into cheers. They shouted like wolves and rushed over, then put their right hands on their chests and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Highness, you are finally back!"
The excitement in their eyes was genuine, and it could be seen that Wanyan Yunshu's status in Northern Liao was indeed very high.
The cheers of the soldiers alarmed the people in the tent. A tall figure walked out of the tent quickly. The moment he saw Wanyan Yunshu, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Changshengtian always likes to let his most cherished children go on their own and grow into real strong men. Eagles flying in the sky will always find their way home. My sister, tell me what you brought back from afar What?"
This is something that is difficult for Han people to understand. He was not angry. If a Han child sneaks away for a long time and then comes back, the family will probably be so angry that they will curse and then burst into tears.
Wanyan Yunshu jumped off the horse and hugged his brother quickly: "Brother, I don't know what warmth is until I see you."
¡°I lost some weight¡±
Wanyan Zhongde rubbed Wanyan Yunshu¡¯s hair, and then saw the people behind Wanyan Yunshu.
"Your guard"
His eyes changed obviously. Wanyan Yunshu quickly pulled him and whispered in his ear: "Go to the tent first. I have something very important to tell you."
Although Fang Jie¡¯s face was covered, Wanyan Zhongde took a special look at him. Wanyan Zhongde always felt that this person's eyes had been seen somewhere and were somewhat familiar.
¡¡
¡¡
"It turns out to be my benefactor!"
When Wanyan Zhongde saw Fang Jie, he immediately put his right hand on his chest and knelt down on one knee. This is the most solemn etiquette for people in Northern Liao, used to welcome returning warriors or the most distinguished guests. Fang Jie hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, smiled and said, "Why do you need to be so polite, Your Highness? It's just a small thing that has made you remember it for so long. I don't deserve it."
Wanyan Zhongde is stronger and more mature than when they first met Fang Jie. There was a little more vicissitudes in his eyes, and a lot more calmness. The beard on his face makes him look particularly majestic, and the muscles that can hold up his clothes show his masculinity.
"A man from Northern Liao will never forget the kindness of his benefactor."
Wanyan took Fang Jie¡¯s arm and asked him to take a seat. Fang Jie quickly refused and sat down next to Wanyan Zhongde.
Wanyan Zhongde ordered people to make tea soup, and then asked Wanyan Yunshu excitedly: "Tell me quickly, how did you meet your benefactor."
Wanyan Yunshu told his story. After listening, Wanyan Zhongde's face gradually became solemn. He stood up again, and then saluted the other party again: "A few years ago, my benefactor saved me. Now my benefactor You saved my sister again. We, the people of Bei Liao, will always be grateful for your kindness. As long as you have any instructions, we, the people of Bei Liao, will never say no to you."
"It's just a chance encounter."
Fang Jie quickly stood up, helped Wanyan Zhongde stand up and said, "It's a coincidence that I met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Wanyan Yunshu looked around, ordered everyone to go out, and then lowered his voice and told Fang Jie the purpose of his visit. After listening, Wanyan Zhongde's face immediately became solemn.
"So that's what it is"
He looked at Fang Jie and said: "To be honest with my benefactor, I also think the prince's death is a bit strange. The guards around the prince are all carefully selected, and there are also a few warriors from our Northern Liao region. Even if they encounter rebels The scouts would definitely not be able to escape. So many guards died in the battle, and only Li Xiaozong came back alive I once talked about this matter with Mr. Mou, but unfortunately, Mr. Mou is now under house arrest. ¡±
Fang Jie said: "You must never call me a benefactor again. It would seem too alienating. When I am a friend, just call me by my name I am only suspicious of the prince's death. But I have no doubts about Li." Xiaozong knows this person better than you all, so I heard that WangI came immediately after the news of ??'s death. If my suspicion is correct, then soon, the people following the prince will be the entire army, maybeincluding you warriors from the Northern Liao region. "
"Well Juexiao, I can trust you!"
Wanyan Zhongde nodded and said: "You tell me what to do, and I will help you!"
Fang Jie nodded: "Now we need to know where General Cui was detained. Presumably, he should know how the prince died. Otherwise, Li Xiaozong would not target him like that. After all, General Cui was once the leader of Li Xiaozong's personal army. ¡±
"I know"
Wanyan Zhongde said: "It's not far behind the cavalry camp, and it's guarded by Li Xiaozong's people personally. In the past few days, if I hadn't stopped him, Li Xiaozong would have killed him many times. I'm afraid that General Cui will kill him for some reason." He was dead, and a team of people was sent to guard there, so Li Xiaozong's people had no chance to take action. General Cui is the friend I respect most after arriving at Langru Mountain. I can't just watch him be killed by my own people. die."
"Thank you very much!"
Fang Jie clasped his fists: "General Cui is also my friend."
"But¡¡"
Wanyan Yunshu said: "Even if we can rescue General Cui, based on what he said, will the Sui people believe that it was Li Xiaozong who killed the prince? The Sui people always have so many twists and turns, although we and them We fight side by side, but most of them don¡¯t trust us in Bei Liao.¡±
"First think of a way for me to meet Mr. Mou."
Fang Jie was silent for a while and then said: "As for how to expose Li Xiaozong, let me do it. Before that, I need to discuss some things with Mr. Mou His Highness's people are protecting General Cui, so there is no need to rush to save him first. He will let General Cui come out and identify him when the time comes."
Fang Jie slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "This is not just a matter for the prince, not just a matter for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sui army it is also a matter for me, and a matter for the eight hundred frontier troops and two thousand people. No matter what No matter what, it should be done by me.¡±
