Chapter 69
For ten days, Zhang Xuan did not continue to practice martial arts, but practiced riding and shooting hard. His master was naturally Xin Yu. Although Xin Yu was a woman, her riding and shooting level was extremely high. She shot quickly from a hundred steps away and shot every shot. In her tribe, most young men also wanted to give her a disadvantage. ☆→
Along the way, she carefully guided Zhang Xuan to ride and shoot, and taught Zhang Xuan many key skills. With Zhang Xuan's hard training, his progress was very fast. He could also shoot prey within a hundred steps while running with an arrow. Although the accuracy was slightly worse, it still surprised Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin. Zhang Xuan surpassed the level of hard training for an average person in just ten days.
Even Cheng Yaojin was heartbroken and shouted that he would practice riding and shooting, but unfortunately he couldn't endure hardship and did not have the talent of Zhang Xuan. After practicing for two or three days, he was discouraged without any progress. Practicing arrows became an excuse to get close to Xin Yu.
In the woods, Zhang Xuan urged the horse to run, controlled the war horse with his legs, pulled the bow with an arrow, turned around and shot it, and the arrow shot towards the treetops like lightning. Seventy steps away, a pheasant with bright feathers had just flew up and was shot in the chest by an arrow. The pheasant screamed, and her feathers splashed everywhere, rolling down from the treetops.
"How is this arrow?" Zhang Xuan turned around and asked with a little smug look.
"The arrow feathers are pinched too much, otherwise this arrow should be able to hit the neck."
Xin Yu urged him to go forward, pulled out a feather arrow and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "Do you try again?"
Zhang Xuan took the feather arrow and blew the arrow, "Don't move!" Xin Yu simply jumped on Zhang Xuan's war horse and leaned behind him. She held Zhang Xuan's right hand, moved the feathers of his index finger to the back a little, and then walked around behind him and grabbed his left hand, and then slightly raised the position where he held the bow with his left hand.
"Remember, your left and right hands must be very balanced. You can shoot an arrow and see."
Although Xin Yu often guided him closely during the practice of arrows, it was the first time they hugged him from behind like today.
Zhang Xuan felt her toned and elastic body, the heat of her skin, and her soft and plump chest, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He shot an arrow, but he didn't know where the arrow went.
Xin Yu whispered his back and punched him hard, "Why are you shooting arrows randomly?"
Zhang Xuan said nothing, straightened her waist and pressed against her body tightly. She suddenly understood something, her face turned red, she lowered her head and dared not speak anymore. Zhang Xuan turned around and hugged her waist, staring at her with a fiery look. Xin Yu was panicked and didn't know where to look at her.
Zhang Xuan slowly lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. With a "boom!", Xin Yu's mind went blank. She collapsed all over and fell into his arms, allowing him to kiss himself enthusiastically, and let his hands caress his toned body.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin's loud voice like a broken gong came from a distance, "Strange, where are the pheasants here?"
The two were so scared that they separated. Xin Yu hurriedly jumped off the horse, turned over and rode his war horse, bit his lip, glared at him fiercely, and urged the horse to run forward.
.........
Soon, Cheng Yaojin chased after him with a pheasant and Yuchi Gong. Cheng Yaojin smiled excitedly and said, "There are actually pheasants here. We can eat pheasants with mud tonight."
Yuchi Gong asked with a smile: "Where is Miss Xin Yu?"
"She went to explore the way forward, let's wait for her for a moment."
Zhang Xuan had returned to his normal expression, and there was no abnormality on his face. However, Yuchi Gong had excellent eyesight. He saw Xin Yu jumping off Zhang Xuan's immediately, but he pretended not to know anything.
"Young Master, I remember you said that the purple insect jade pupa must be available in early spring. It is already early summer. Can we still find it?"
"I also asked Xin Yu, and she said that the ice and snow in the Dahu area will not thaw until summer and can be found in early summer."
"That's good, I hope there will be rewards this time."
At this moment, Xin Yu's panic scream suddenly came from a distance, "Come on!"
The three of them looked at each other and immediately urged the horse to run forward. Zhang Xuan took the lead and rushed to Xin Yu and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look!" Xin Yu pointed ahead and said in fear.
Zhang Xuan then found that more than a dozen heads were hanging from a big branch not far ahead. He pulled out his knife and urged the horse to step forward slowly. The head was still dripping with blood, and his face was particularly ferocious.
At this time, Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin also arrived. Cheng Yaojin found many footprints on the ground, and he followed the footprints to the other side.
Yuchi Gong said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have just been killed for a while, so it should have been cut off today."
Zhang Xuan nodded, "It seems that someone is ahead of us."
At this time, Cheng Yaojin shouted on the other side: "The body is here!"
The two urged their horses to run over, and saw more than a dozen headless corpses piled up in a depression, covered with ant insects. Judging from their clothes, they should be nearby herders.
"They are the herdsmen of the servant's gu tribe!"
Xin Yu whispered from the side: "I have seen one of them. He is the son of the chief of the Pugu tribe in this area. He is called Pugu Jiaomu. He came to our tribe to propose marriage at the beginning of the year."
"Young Master, who do you think it's done?" Yuchi Gong asked in a low voice.
Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "Who dares to kill the chief's son except the Turks?"
"What should we do?"
Cheng Yaojin shouted: "Maybe the Turks are opening a big net in front of us, waiting for us!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and asked Xin Yu: "Does there be ice worms when they reach the lake?"
Xin Yu shook his head, "No! I have to go north for a few hundred miles. I originally wanted to go to the lake first, and then walk north along the lake."
“Can you go north now?”
"There are clearer marks to the north. I walked by once and remembered them very clearly."
Zhang Xuan made a quick decision and said, "Then we will change the route northward and not go to the lake."
The four reached a consensus that there was no need for them to encounter the Turkic army, just avoid them. The four turned their horses and passed through the forest and diverted to the north.
...........
At Bayegu Club, a feast had just ended. The chieftain Tulle was helplessly helped the big tent by his two sons. This seemed to be the first time Tule got drunk. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
At this time, the second daughter Asu appeared at the door of the tent and said to the two younger brothers: "Go! I'll take care of my father."
Tongtai and another brother were afraid of this second sister, so they hurriedly bowed and hurriedly left. Asu reconciled several guards from outside the account and ordered: "Let my father have a good rest and no one is allowed to disturb me!"
The guards quickly agreed, and Asu immediately put down the curtain, and only Tule's snoring sounds like thunder in the chief's tent were heard.
Just a hundred steps away, Zhang Zhongjian and Chai Shao were hiding in a large tent, staring at the Tulle tent in the distance through the gaps in the big tent.
Zhang Zhongjian was already sure that the missing group of soldiers was obtained by the Baye Gu tribe, but they tried every means and could not find the hiding place of the group of soldiers. Everyone was finally a little anxious. Zhang Zhongjian had to use his last move to put a little medicine powder in Tule wine, which made him drunk.
"Can Zhongjian confirm that the treasure map is in his big tent?" Chai Shao asked with some doubts.
"I know there must be this picture. Tule told me that he had revealed his mouth and then denied it again. I know him, and such an important thing must be in his golden box."
"But his daughter is in the tent, what should we do?"
Zhang Zhongjian pondered for a moment and took out a small skin bag with three short golden needles inside. He said to Chai Shao: "These three golden needles have lax medicines that can allow the person with the middle needle to sleep for a quarter of an hour, and time is enough!"
Chai Shao was overjoyed, "Then let's act immediately!"
Chai Shao lifted the curtain and walked out, and walked directly to Tule's tent. Zhang Zhongjian flashed and disappeared like a ghost. His high-speed light body technique was twice as fast as his junior sister Zhang Chuchen.
After a moment, Chai Shao quickly walked to the Tule tent and was immediately discovered by the guards. The guard shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Chai Shao could also speak a few Turkic words. He bowed his hands and smiled at several guards, "We are leaving tomorrow, so I'll say goodbye!"
Several guards knew him, and the leader said in stuttering Chinese: "The Chief... is asleep... can't disturb you."
Chai Shao attracted the attention of several guards. Zhang Zhongjian had already appeared on the back of Tule's tent. He gently stroked with a sharp dagger. A crack about a foot wide appeared on the lower edge of the wool outer tent. Zhang Zhongjian leaned in half and pinched a golden needle in his hand.
The big tent is a two-story tent with the inner and outer layers. There is a two-foot-wide walkway between the inner and outer layers. Zhang Zhongjian was about to sneak into the inner tent when he suddenly heard footsteps. He immediately pressed his figure tightly on the inner tent. The curtain of the inner tent was lifted, and Tule's second daughter, Asu, came out from inside and walked out of the outer tent.
"I have washed my father's feet and he is sleeping well now. Don't disturb him for the time being. If he wants to drink water, remember to give him some water and I'll go back first."
Zhang Zhongjian breathed a light sigh and put the golden needle in his hand back into the skin. As Asu walked away, the outside became quiet again.
Zhang Zhongjian sneaked into the inner tent silently, and saw Tule sleeping soundly, snoring like thunder, and a thin blanket covered with her body.
Zhang Zhongjian flashed and came to a large wooden box. The box was locked. He gently pinched the lock head, and with a sound of "Click!", the lock head was twisted off.
He opened the box and there were two small boxes made of gold. Zhang Zhongjian knew that all the important items of Tule were placed in these two small gold boxes, but he didn't know where the things he wanted were.
He gently opened a small box, which contained various expensive gems and pearls, without any parchment rolls.
He put down the lid of the box and opened the second one. He felt a little strange. He actually had no locks on both gold boxes, but this thought flashed by. Zhang Zhongjian had already seen that there was a pampered roll in the second gold box, and there was only this pampered roll in the two gold boxes.
