第170章 第22幕 戎马仓皇 九

Tuya felt that she couldn't exert any more strength from her whole body, and she knelt down on the top of the corpse mountain with a "plop" and burst into tears.She never dreamed that she could survive until the moment when the reinforcements arrived.After crying for a while, the girl regained her composure, barely propped up her weak body, and staggered towards the still fighting battlefield ahead!

This move was only because she was always occupied by a lingering thought, and she needed to ask Mu Hyuk to clarify.

At this time, the Muhe coalition forces had fought to less than a thousand people.The increasingly disparate strength gap made him completely lose the room to continue to maneuver. He could only stretch out the weapons in his hands and stare at the imperial army surrounding him, preventing them from bullying them any further.Suddenly hearing a shout, the Sa Xueqi, who were constantly tightening the encirclement like a huge wall, stopped strangling the enemy one after another, and stood still on the spot.Yuan Ti rode out from the formation again, and looked at the bloody prairie people in front of him with some pity:
"The general situation is over, you should surrender now. If you surrender, you will be able to go back alive and see your parents, wife and children!"

Hearing what the old general said, even the most resolute warrior of Shodi could not help but abandon his troops and armor, and completely gave up resistance.Today, they seem to have just crawled out of the pool of blood, and none of them is not without scars.And the faces of each of them are filled with endless exhaustion and desire to survive.

However, Muhe still shook the saber in his hand, and rushed forward alone: ​​"As long as the Bakwuqin family is still alive, even if there is only one person left under the Canglang banner, I will never bow my head and admit defeat!"

Hearing a sound from the ground, Yuan Ti flew the saber that was attacking in front of him with the spear in his hand without any effort, and then swept the gun across, hitting the opponent's left rib hard, making him retreat several steps in a row.

Right now, the wound on Muhe's shoulder has already burst open again, and the black wolf fur cloak on his body is soaked in blood.Beads of blood dripped down the wolf's hair and fell to his feet, but he still managed to stand firm and refused to fall down.This old man who has dominated the grassland for many years is now like an old wolf who has fallen into a trap. Although he knows that he cannot break free, there is still a fierceness in his eyes that refuses to admit defeat.

"It is said that the descendants of Canglang and Bailu founded the Muyun Department. Now, why bother to fight to the death? No matter what entanglements there were before, it is already a matter of the previous generation. It is better to turn the war into a jade—"

"Blood feud is irreconcilable, kill as you want, no need to talk nonsense!"

Faced with Yuan Ti's persuasion, Mu He still refused to give in, and actually took a step forward, letting the other party's spear point touch his chest.Seeing that he died without repentance, Yuan Ti couldn't help but sighed, and retreated half a foot with the spear in his hand, gaining momentum and intending to stab forward.Unexpectedly, before he exerted his strength, he suddenly heard a clear voice from a woman behind him:

"Wait a minute, old general, don't kill him!"

Everyone on the field was stunned, and followed the sound to look, but saw Tuya, who had cut her hair short, was holding a scimitar full of gaps, standing not far away, panting.Behind her, followed by more than ten thousand Muyun tribe who came out of Garhai City, the banner with the white deer painted on it was full of blood, but it was still waving in the wind.

"Hmph, people of Bakwuqin's family, stop being hypocritical in front of me! Even if I, Muhe, die today, there will still be grandchildren who will continue to avenge me!"

"and then?"

Tuya just asked coldly, "You blamed my father for killing your child, and then exhausted everything to take revenge on the Bakwuqin family and the people who stood under the White Deer banner? Today, there are countless young people After dying on this battlefield, who should their children and descendants take revenge on in the future? Could it be that in your eyes, hatred should continue like this from generation to generation, endlessly?"

"All the sacrifices today will be counted on the head of Bakwuqin's family!"

"Since I can't convince you, let them try."

Facing the roaring opponent, Tuya shook her head helplessly, then stepped aside.Only then did Muhe, who was wearing a black wolf's skin, see a woman in a state of distress standing in the crowd behind the girl, holding two muddy children in her hand, who turned out to be his own hair. Wife and two grandchildren!

"Shameless, you actually took my blood relatives as hostages!" Mu He's eyes were reddened, and he tried his best to hold back the anxiety and anger in his heart.

At the same time, I heard the woman on the opposite side say loudly: "After the camp was captured, Meng Dun ordered people to escort us to retreat, but on the way we met a beggar from the Woma tribe. This is what you call a good son-in-law, good Allies, you actually want to take our three grandparents back as hostages, and use them as bargaining chips to seek peace with Muyunbu and Yubei in the future! Thanks to General Yuanti, we can still stand in front of you and talk to you alive at this moment !"

But Muhe still didn't believe this: "Shut up! If it wasn't for Tieqin who wanted to rebuild Tiechongshan back then, how could our Pei'er go south to Yujing and die as a guest! Bakewuqin's family killed our son As a murderer, Yuan Ti is their loyal running dog, how could he be kind enough to save you!"

"Back when Pei'er went to Yujing, you can't blame the people of Bakwuqin's family, but you should blame yourself!"

"Blame me—myself?!"

What his wife said made Mu Hyuk startled.He still wanted to refute, but when the woman in front of him handed over the two grandchildren to Tuya, she walked slowly to him and persuaded softly:
"Back then, Pei'er was just as competitive and ambitious as his father. Rebuilding Tiezhong Mountain was the top priority of the entire Muyun Department. How could he, as the son of the eldest son, turn a blind eye and stand by?"

"But I had issued an order back then to forbid Pei'er to go south with those young people. Unexpectedly, Tie Qin insisted on going his own way and ordered those young people to leave overnight! When I saw Pei'er again, he was already a cold, breathless corpse Already!"

"Could it be that you've never thought about why Pei'er disobeyed your orders and still joined the centurion that went south? You, a father, have always been strict with him, and he also wants to do the best in everything." Good. The more he is forbidden to go, the more he wants to prove it to you! It was actually Pei Er who falsely passed on Tie Qinhan's will when he set off overnight. I really want to make some achievements and be recognized! It's because he doesn't want to disappoint your father!"

What his wife said finally made Muhe wake up.In fact, he has always been clear in his heart that all his hatred for the Bakwuqin family stems from his irreparable loss of the past.It's just that for so many years, he didn't choose to face it, but chose to escape and blame.

Mu Hyuk's hand holding the saber finally let go.He, who had been suffocating his neck all the time, turned out to be like solid ice on a fire, and suddenly his knees bent and went limp, and he fell to his knees and burst into tears.This all-powerful elder seemed to have aged more than ten years suddenly.Tears rolled down the gully-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the already dilapidated Canglang Banner behind him also crashed down.

"It's me—wrong! I'm a sinner of the Muyun Department! I also ask the princess to grant me my death! The old minister just asks someone to take good care of his wife and two grandchildren so that they can continue to serve the Muyun Department!"

With tears streaming down his face, Muhe prostrated himself in front of Tuya with outstretched arms.The girl turned her head and exchanged a tacit understanding with Yuan Ti on the horse, but she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help him up:

"It's better for you to take care of your family by yourself."

Mu He raised his head in surprise, as if he didn't believe that the last blood of the Bakwuqin family in front of him could spare his life so easily.

But Tuya just smiled and shook her head: "Since Grandpa Hongji was in power, Uncle Muhe has been an important minister in the clan. If I kill you, wouldn't it be a broken arm? Besides, the Muyun tribe can't just have white deer and no wolf." .Now our department is waiting for a comeback, and we must not and will not allow any more meaningless sacrifices!"

Mu He was completely moved by the girl's generosity, and with tears running down his face, he once again bowed down to the girl respectfully: "Great kindness, princess! From today onwards, Mu He and all the generals under Canglang's banner are at your disposal at any time, and they will never hesitate to die!"

Finally, there was a long-lost smile on Tuya's face, but there was still obvious sadness in that smile: "I don't need to die, but now I have something to ask. I don't know if he will—"

"In the previous battle, although Xinhan was defeated, he was rescued by a group of wild horses that broke into the battle."

"Where did the horses go now?"

Knowing that Jiang Yan was indeed not killed in battle, Tuya was overjoyed immediately.But when she was going to continue to ask, she saw Mu He shook his head, and there was a thump in his heart, and he fell into endless loss again.

Unexpectedly, suddenly someone came forward from the Saxue riding formation, stood behind the girl, and touched her head with his hand.Tuya was startled, and quickly turned her head to look, only to see a pair of pure black eyes with circles of white water patterns, looking at herself with a slight smile:

"I promised you would come back, how can I break my promise so easily?"

Tuya was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and plunged into the other party's arms, weeping uncontrollably:

"Then why didn't you come back earlier? Do you know how scared, lonely, and desperate I am..."

"Although I was rescued by the horse herd led by Wu Chen, there were only dozens of Tie Chongshan who survived. Even if they rushed to the city of Garhai overnight, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not be saved. I thought about it and decided to go first. Go to the south, wait for the reinforcements led by General Yuan Ti to arrive, and then fight back together with him..."

Jiang Yan looked at the clansmen around him with some embarrassment, and wanted to get rid of such public intimacy a little bit, but Tuya hugged her waist tightly, and couldn't push him away at all.

Yuan Ti also got off his horse and bowed respectfully to the two:
"Although the current Muyun Department has experienced such a catastrophe, it has been a blessing in disguise. Not only did Xinhan and the princess remain unscathed, but it also untied the knot between the Bakwuqin and Brewu families. There is even more good news for the two Position: Just now, the messenger sent by the old minister has sent back the news that the leaders of Yimu and Qingzi have agreed to form an alliance with our tribe and respect Muyun as the leader of the alliance! The envoys they sent will also send Go to Hulan Terrace and pay homage to the princess and Xinhan!"

"Yimu and Qingzi?"

Jiang Yan and Tuya showed disbelief on their faces.They didn't know how Yuan Ti was able to persuade the two departments to agree to form an alliance again so quickly.But upon learning of this news, earth-shattering cheers erupted among the warriors holding the banners of the wolf and the white deer all around:
"Long live Tianhehan! Long live the princess!"

The cheering crowd embraced each other, announcing that the previous war with heavy casualties was over.Now except for the Wuma tribe, three of Shuodi's five tribes have all surrendered and formed an alliance, and with the horses brought back by Wu Chen as new mounts, the Muyun tribe, a tribe that had serious internal friction not long ago, has returned in the blink of an eye. Gathered a powerful force unmatched on the grassland!
"Old general, what method did you use to persuade Yubei to send troops for me?"

Tuya, who still didn't know how to face all this, approached Yuan Ti, and asked in a low voice, somewhat at a loss.Until now, she still couldn't believe that everything in front of her was not a dream, and pinched herself twice with her hands.

Yuan Ti's expression was a bit dignified, and he pulled the girl aside before explaining in a low voice:
"Princess should know that this time when Yubei sent Saxue cavalry to rescue, they had to cross the Pinjin River. This move is really against the promise that the Zuoqiu clan and your grandfather Hongji made when they ceased fighting sixty years ago. Besides, how can such a huge southern army go deep into the hinterland of Yanluoyuan without making some preparations in advance?"

"Old general, aren't these saxue cavalry here to help us? From your tone, it seems that you also regard them as a threat that Muyun cannot ignore? Could it be that Yimu and Qingzi agreed to form an alliance, and with this Nothing to do with it?"

Tuya faintly felt that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.Sure enough, what Yuan Ti said next further proved that her guess was not groundless:

"Princess, I don't know. The white-clothed and white-horse knights you see in your eyes are all the elite of Saxue cavalry, and they can't be invited by the veteran's three-inch tongue. This time, it is Yubei Kingdom. The lord issued an order, requesting that he must protect the princess well—”

"Master Yubei, why do you suddenly care about the safety of my distant cousin?"

"Princess, although the lord of the Yubei Kingdom is surnamed Zuoqiu, his single name is the word Jue!"

"Grandfather Zuoqiu Que!? Wasn't he the one who sent his mother to the Muyun Department! Why is he still alive? And he will continue to sit on the throne of the king of Yubei?!"

Hearing the name Yuan Ti said, Tuya couldn't help but change her expression on the spot.In her heart, she didn't like the grandfather who forced her mother to go north to get married, so she immediately asked viciously.

"This matter—but it's a long story. Princess, Xinhan, I also invite you two to come along with the veterans. Right now, the Yubei Envoy is waiting for you in the tent behind the formation."

Yuan Ti was vague, she just explained a few words and then got on the horse, and ordered two army horses to be brought in for the two of them to ride.

Tuya only felt that her heart was beating fast, and she hesitated to pull the rein.Suddenly, she saw the general Yan next to her give her a comforting look, and she knew that she would never be able to escape this hurdle, so she had to bite the bullet and get on the horse with the support of the old general, followed behind him, and walked towards the horse nervously. The Yubei Chinese Army in the distance rushed.
