Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 551 I Won’t Bully Children

At this time, Zhao Mu said, "Your Highness Princess has come from afar. I am sorry for not hosting you well. Please go to your tent and rest for a while."

Yelu Jinnu didn't know what Zhao Mu was planning, but she didn't refuse him. She then walked gracefully into Zhao Mu's central military tent.

As for the Khitan envoys and others who came with her, they were detained by the guards in Zhao Mu's camp.

When they arrived at the big tent, Zhao Mu asked her to sit down.

Yelu Jinnu also slowly sat down in the lower seat, but her face still had no expression and looked very cold.

After Zhao Mu sat down, Yelu Jinnu asked, "Your Highness Prince Qi has captured me. If you have any ideas, please tell me directly."

Zhao Mu said, "Nothing, I just want to ask Your Highness to stay in my tent for a few days. After I conquer Gaochang City and end this war, I will send someone to escort Your Highness back to Liao."

Upon hearing Zhao Mu's words, Yelu Jinnu was stunned.

Originally, Yelu Jinnu looked down on Zhao Mu, but this time she looked at Zhao Mu.

Seeing Yelu Jinnu's expression, Zhao Mu asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yelu Jinnu asked curiously: "You won't kill me?"

Zhao Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "We have no grudges against each other, why would I kill you?"

Yelu Jinnu pursed his lips, then continued to ask: "Then do you want to humiliate me?"

Zhao Mu saw her shy look and knew what she meant. Zhao Mu replied: "It is true that I am lustful. But I am not so hungry that I will eat anything."

"Do you mean that I am ugly and not worthy of you?" Yelu Jinnu asked back.

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness is a beauty. She is indeed very popular, but I, Zhao Mu, am not shameless enough to bully a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid."

Yelu Jinnu continued to ask: "Then if you send me back to my country, what are your conditions? What price do you want my father to pay?"

Zhao Mu spread his hands and said, "Little Princess, don't worry. I will send you home without any conditions. Besides, you Liao Kingdom is just like the Uighurs, you are not qualified to negotiate any conditions with me. If I really need something, I will send troops to your Liao Kingdom to get it."

Zhao Mu smiled evilly and said, "I am indeed a simple villain, at least from the perspective of you Liao people. But I will not achieve my goal by kidnapping a little girl."

At this moment, Musa, who had just finished breakfast, also walked in.

Zhao Mu said to Musa, "Musa, you came at the right time. This is the Princess of Yue from Liao. She will stay in our camp for a few days, but there are mostly men in this camp, so it is inevitable that some of them will be bold and lecherous. You will stay with her during this time."

Musa yawned, then looked carefully at the Yue princess in front of her. She asked, "Wasn't it Yelu Yanxiu who was sent to marry the Uighurs? Why did she get the job?"

Zhao Mu smiled bitterly and said, "We can only let Yelu Yanxiu answer this question after we return. Okay! Take her to your place and settle her down first. Our infantry will arrive tomorrow, and I will start preparing for the siege."

Musa nodded and said, "Princess of Yue, right? Come with me. There are only men in this camp. Although they dare not approach my tent and the prince's tent, you have to be careful when living in it. If there is anything, please inform me at any time."

Then Musa took Yelu Jinnu away, but before leaving, the little princess looked back at Zhao Mu.

Although Zhao Mu and she were enemies, she was now grateful to him. This was because Zhao Mu had saved her from the pit of fire, and she didn't have to marry the Uighur King, an old man who was nearly fifty years old. At noon the next day, the follow-up infantry arrived one after another with siege equipment.

And Zhao Mu also asked them to take a good rest.

If the cavalry was unable to attack and he could not take the entire city alone, Zhao Mu would not have to wait for them to come.

Zhao Mu ordered the subsequent siege troops to rest for two days, and then began to attack Gaochang City two days later.

Both sides had been preparing for war in the past two days. When the people in Gaochang saw that the envoy had not returned, they thought that he had been killed by Zhao Mu. Although the Uighur King still wanted to negotiate peace, no one dared to send an envoy to Zhao Mu anymore.

There was no other way out at the moment, so the Uighur King could only order the entire city to prepare for war and fight a desperate battle with Zhao Mu's Qi soldiers.

However, the Uighurs had no confidence in defeating Zhao Mu. All they wanted was to fight a battle and make Qi pay a heavy price, and then make peace with Zhao Mu and force him to withdraw his troops.

On the afternoon of the third day, after the Qi soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, they marched out of the camp, lined up in battle array, and prepared to launch their own attack.

Seeing that the Qi army had already formed their battle formation, the people in Gaochang City did not dare to be negligent. Archers, crossbowmen, rolling logs and rocks were deployed on the city walls.

Zhao Mu's main attack direction was the east gate. Zhao Mu rode his own Ferghana horse and waved the Tongguang sword in his hand.

Zhao Mu said to the soldiers, "Comrades! This is the last battle of our Western Expedition. Once we capture Gaochang City, the war will be over. When we return to Qi, I will give you another reward. I will lead the way for you! Now follow me and charge!"

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he waved his sword and headed straight for Gaochang City. The infantrymen behind him also launched attacks in turn according to the established square formation. Ladders, siege vehicles and other equipment also slowly followed behind Zhao Mu.

Seeing that the Qi army had begun to attack the city, the Uighur soldiers began to shoot arrows, and a rain of arrows flew towards Zhao Mu.

But Zhao Mu remained unafraid when he saw this. After all, the rain of arrows was just a small trick for him.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu stood up, stepped on the back of the Han Blood Horse, leaped up, and headed towards the rain of arrows.

When the generals and soldiers under Zhao Mu and the Uighur soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

They didn't expect that Zhao Mu could jump so high, and towards the rain of arrows.

But what surprised them even more was the next moment.

Then Zhao Mu stretched out his left hand and shouted: "Bu Zhou Li Feng! The master of life and death!"

The next moment, an invisible hurricane appeared out of nowhere in Zhao Mu's tent. This hurricane directly blew open a path for Zhao Mu, like opening the sea and dividing the water, and forcibly separated the arrows shot by the Uighur soldiers.

Zhao Mu took advantage of this opportunity to display his skill of controlling the wind. The Uighur soldiers on the city wall were stunned when they saw Zhao Mu coming in the air like an immortal.

And many people kept shouting "Monster! Monster!"

Although the battle had just begun, the morale of the Uighur soldiers defending the city had suddenly dropped. Although they did not flee in disorder, no one dared to fight Zhao Mu at the moment.
