Horse on the World

Chapter 212 Assassination
The grassland, under the Mulan Mountain, the royal court of the Bai people, within tens of miles of square gardens, has been arranged as a huge celebration venue. The leaders of the grassland ministries gather here to celebrate the annual Mulan Festival, but everyone understands that The grand Mulan Festival in previous years will be eclipsed by another incident this year.For hundreds of years, the first empire, the Yuanwu Empire, will appear on the grassland, and Bayar, the patriarch of the Bai tribe, will be the first emperor of the Yuanwu Empire.

Bayar imitated the imperial system of Great Chu, established an empire, centralized power, established a unified army, a unified government, and a unified command. Yin is a move.Bayar wants to absorb the advanced experience of Great Chu, but he also wants to avoid the weakening of the royal power. "I want the grassland people to still have the wolf nature immersed in their bones. If they advance, they will live, and if they retreat, they will die. An excellent ruler Those who have always grown up in the wind and rain, if my children and grandchildren cannot win this battle, it means that they are unable to lead the grassland people forward. Not to mention that they will not lead the grassland people into the abyss because of their stupidity." Bayar's eloquent words convinced all the leaders of the grassland tribes. In fact, compared with Bayar, I am indeed far inferior, so it is no wonder that I will be the loser in this battle.

After nearly a year of expansion, the Bai royal court at the foot of Mulan Mountain has begun to take on the size of a large city. Although it is not as good as a state city in Dachu, there is still a sense of austerity. The Xiao Army was in charge of the safety of Bayar's ascension to the throne on the Mulan Festival. The entire army was distributed within a radius of dozens of miles around the royal court, and the inside was even more heavily guarded.Seeing the military appearance of the Long Xiao army and the power of the two armies who had just won the battle against Dingzhou, even the tribal leaders who still had a little bit of careful thinking were more determined and had no other ideas.

On the grasslands within tens of miles, countless piles of bonfires were lit, and the prairie people in costumes gathered around the bonfires, singing and dancing, matouqin, dombra

A melodious song was played, and the fat whole lamb was roasted on the fire, and the fat dripped down, bursting into small red flowers.Generations of kumiss are randomly piled on the ground for people to use, and the whole grassland presents a happy atmosphere.

This is the carnival day of the prairie people.

But at this time, in an inconspicuous tent, a group of people gathered, everyone with dignified faces, sitting cross-legged on the ground silently, looking at a man in the middle.Wearing a prairie costume, with hair loosely braided into countless tiny braids, a bearded face, a dark complexion, and a prairie machete pinned to his waist, Wang Qi, director of the Operations Department of the Statistics and Investigation Department, stared at everyone in the tent. His eyes swept over them one by one.

"Brothers, this is the biggest operation since the establishment of our operation agency, and it is also a fatal operation. I can honestly say that the possibility of surviving this operation is very low. Therefore, I will not force you, and I am not willing to People involved can quit now and no one will laugh at you."

No one in the tent moved a little bit, and after a short pause, a man said in a muffled voice: "Wangtou, don't talk nonsense, my whole family died at the hands of barbarians, and I will not stand with them, everyone sneaked into the grassland These days, isn’t it just to get revenge for doing an earth-shattering event? Don't worry about them living without money."

"Yes, Wangtou, let's assign tasks!" The men showed a determined look, and their situation was similar to that of the people who spoke before.

Wang Qi Zancai nodded. This group of people was carefully selected by him, and they had been lurking on the grassland for a long time. This time, he came to the grassland with the order of the director to personally plan and direct this major operation.

"Revenge for the commander-in-chief, revenge for the sacrificed Dingzhou athletes, mess up the grassland, if possible, let the grassland fall into chaos, mutual suspicion, dead distrust." Director Qingfeng's original words Wang Qi firmly remembered with.

"The goals of this operation are as follows, Han Ningqi from the Qingbu, and Fusen from the Hongbu. These two people have a rift with the Bai people. Killing them can be revenge, and the second is to make all the people in the grassland suspect whether it was the Bai people's attack. So, brothers, if you If you can’t come out alive, please completely destroy your identities, so that no one can guess or see that you are from Dingzhou, and I’ll group you up next.”

The person whose name was read was silently divided into two groups. Wang Qi pulled out a dozen continual crossbows from a roll of animal skins and said, "Everyone, this is the five-shot continual crossbow that our Statistics and Investigation Department has just begun to equip. The crossbow, both in terms of power and range, is more powerful than the ones equipped by the military. All the arrows in the crossbow are made of iron, capable of piercing armor within [-] steps, and hitting vital points within [-] steps. There is absolutely no way of surviving through armor, unless he wears our Dingzhou fine steel armor, but obviously, it is impossible for them to use this kind of armor."

A group of men touched the heavy crossbow in their hands, and their faces were full of joy. With this kind of sharp weapon, the success of the assassination increased greatly. .The leader of a grassland tribe died under his hands, and his name will go down in history.

"Brothers, everyone, come and take a look at this picture. If you can come out alive, this is your retreat route. I will wait for you here for three days. Within three days, if I don't wait for you, I will leave Let's go." Wang Qi said with some seriousness.

"Don't worry, Wangtou!" the men said in unison.

Bowls of wine were lined up on the ground. Wang Qi took out a broken blade from his arms, cut his finger, and dripped blood into the bowl. All the men cut their fingers one by one, and dripped blood into the bowl. Here, Wang Qi picked up a bowl of blood wine and said, "Brothers, the time for action is two days later. I wish you success and return safely."

"Wan Sheng!" Everyone drank the wine in their bowls at the same time.Then silently saluted Wang Qi one by one, turned and left. Wang Qi fell to his knees and touched the ground with his head. He didn't stand up until everyone left.

The next day, the Grassland was the Mulan Festival, and it was also Bayar’s enthronement ceremony. The eyes of the grassland people within tens of miles turned to the royal court of the Bai people. No matter whether they could see or hear it, everyone silently Waiting for the sound of the horn that symbolized the completion of the enthronement ceremony and the formal establishment of the Yuanwu Empire.Except for the cows and horses neighing, no one spoke.

Snowflakes floated in the sky again, flying down in pieces, falling on everyone's bodies, and immediately turning into water droplets, sliding down their faces.

Come, come, the sound of the horn came faintly from a distance, getting closer, getting closer, finally, the clear sound of the horn sounded in the ears with joy, and all the silent prairie people cheered, shaking the Fur hats, anything in your hand is thrown high, no matter you know it or not, everyone gathers together, shouting, jumping, embracing each other, and the call of "long live" resounds through the grassland.

Behind the carnival of the Bai people is the loneliness of the Qingbu. After participating in Bayar's enthronement ceremony and witnessing his biggest opponent ascend to the supreme position of the grassland, Han Ningqi didn't want to stay here for a minute, and brought his subordinate Pegasus Going back to Qingbu, the Mulan Festival in Qingbu is not full of festive atmosphere. All the people in Qingbu are packing their bags silently, preparing to go to the barren land of Congling Pass and rebuild their homes there .

The next day, tens of thousands of Qingbu people were ready to go. All their belongings were loaded into carriages. Countless cattle and sheep were scattered on the grassland. gold account.As long as there is an order from there, everyone will immediately set off and leave this hometown where they have lived for countless years.A sense of melancholy about leaving home filled the crowd, and the sound of suppressed crying could be heard faintly.

The big tent was opened, and Han Ningqi came out in all his clothes, mounted his war horse, and walked slowly among the people from the Qingbu tribe, scanning his gaze at his fellow villagers.Badaman Ningbu was accompanying him, and the eyes of all the leaders of the Qingbu were full of unwillingness. Looking at the royal court of the Bai people, the hatred in their eyes could not be concealed.

"Boss, we don't want to leave!" A cry came from the crowd suddenly, like an order, countless people cried at the same time, "Boss, we don't want to go!" The crowd surged towards Haning Come together.

Haningqi's personal guards formed a human wall, desperately preventing the tribe from approaching Haningqi.

"Big boss, big boss!" More people rushed forward, and the scene was in chaos.

"Father, let's go!" Badama Ningbu looked worriedly at the chaotic scene.

Han Ningqi shook his head, "It's because I didn't lead the Youth Department well, I'm sorry for them." He stretched his waist and supported his hands, and he stood upright on the horse.

"People of Qingbu!" He shouted hoarsely, "Everyone listen to me!"

The prestige of the chief leader was fully revealed at this moment. Han Ningqi stood tall on the horse, and the excited crowd in the Qingbu finally fell silent and knelt down on the ground.

"Our departure today is for our return in the future. This is the hometown where we were born and raised. No matter where we go, we will never forget that this is our home. One day, our youth department will hold our heads high. Head back here."

Among the crowd, several men raised their heads inconspicuously, with a sneer on the corner of their mouths, "You will never come back." Several men looked at each other and jumped up at the same time, "Boss, we don't want to leave Ah!" They shouted in unison, but the flashing crossbow in their hands shocked everyone.

The frightening whistle of crossbow arrows sounded, and dozens of sharp crossbows shot at Han Ningqi like lightning. Han Ningqi, who was standing tall on his horse, was only twenty or thirty steps away from these men. It is no longer an obvious living target.

There was a sound of crossbow arrows piercing through Haningqi's armor. Haningqi's eyes flashed with unbelievable light. He stared at several assassins, pushed the golden mountain, inverted the jade pillar, and loaded them down from the horse.

"Father!" Badamanimbu shouted.

"Catch the assassin!" More people shouted.
