Chapter 16 Fighting poison with poison
Chapter 16: Fighting poison with poison
It was the middle of winter in December, and night fell early. As soon as the sky was dark, Asdo appeared in front of the king's tent again. The king's tent was the office of the Turkic Khan. It was actually three huge dome tents sewn together. In addition to the main entrance, there were two small side doors. (《》.com)
Asduo appeared in front of the east gate. It was already dark. Rangan had already finished his government affairs for a day and returned to the tent. The tent was pitch black and Turkic guards were everywhere. When Asduo approached the dome tent, she was immediately stopped.
"Your Highness, the Khan is not in the tent of the king."
"I know that Father Khan asked me to pick up something for him and put it in another account."
The king's tent is divided into many functional areas, the most core of which is the military aircraft tent, which is where Shi Shu and Hu Xi killed Yang Yuanqing in the afternoon. It is also the core of the entire Turkic. Even Duji cannot break in casually. There are four guards standing at the door of the inner tent. No matter how many reasons Ah Duo has, he cannot enter the military aircraft tent, so it is okay to enter the other tent through the side door.
The guard hesitated, "But it's very dark inside, and the princess can't see it!"
"I know where the thing is? I'll come out right away."
"Okay! Princess, please go and leave quickly."
Asduo quickly walked into the dark tent. She didn't dare to light the lights. The gloomy tent made her heart pound. She was familiar with the road and quickly came to her father's rest room. Next door was the military tent, only a piece of tent was separated by a cloth.
Asduo squatted down, slowly climbed to the edge of the tent, found the edge, opened a gap, and drilled into the gap like a night rat, and directly drilled into the tent.
The tent was also pitch black, and four guards stood outside the curtain. Asduo was so nervous that his heart was almost jumping out of his mouth. She quickly touched her father's office and fumbled on the table. With a slight sound, she knocked over something. Asduo was almost shocked and curled up under the table, not daring to move.
After a while, there was no movement outside the tent, and the guards outside did not hear the sound. The thick carpet concealed Asudo's stealing. She continued to grop on the table. This time she was very lucky. She touched her father's golden arrow. This was what she wanted. Without the Khan's golden arrow, Yang Yuanqing could not escape at all. ("" website .com)
She put the golden arrow into her arms, put it in close proximity, then crawled back from the same path, and quickly walked out of the tent.
"Princess, have you got the stuff?" The guard saw her out of nothing.
"No, it's too dark inside, you can't see anything. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
She hurriedly left the tent.

The tent where Yang Yuanqing lives is close to the royal area and belongs to the Guike area. He has only four subordinates around him, and the remaining 500 subordinates are all stationed five miles away. There are three floors of guard posts in between. Thousands of Turkic sentries patrolled day and night. People outside cannot come in and are not allowed to go out inside. If Yang Yuanqing wants to visit his subordinates, he must also have a pass token issued by the Khan, but he does not. It is usually issued the next day, but he must leave tonight.
Even Princess Yicheng's token is useless. It requires a human card to correspond, but there are no Han guards beside Dun.
In addition to the pass token, the Khan golden arrow can also be passed, which is the supreme Turkic order. Although it cannot be dispatched, it can be passed anywhere in the Turkic territory. The golden arrow stole by Asduo is such a stolen.
She silently handed the golden arrow to Yang Yuanqing. In order for Yang Yuanqing to escape from the Turks, she was willing to accept any punishment from her father Khan.
Yang Yuanqing took the golden arrow, and he didn't know how to thank the Turkic girl who saved his life. He gently hugged Asudo in her arms and whispered in Turkic words in her ear: "Yang Yuanqing remembers the kindness of the princess in his heart."
Asduo's eyes turned red. With this sentence, she was willing to die for him.
"You go quickly! If your father Khan finds out, the golden arrow will be invalid. Go quickly!"
Yang Yuanqing turned over the horse. He took out the jade swan that Yang Guang gave him from the horse bag, bent over and gave it to her, looked at her deeply, and said to Fat Fish and three other subordinates: "Let's go!"
The five people urged the horse and speeded away, gradually disappearing into the thick night. Asduo looked at the jade swan in her hand. Her eyes lit up, and she pressed it tightly on her heart and looked into the dark night. "《》.com

"What! They're leaving?"
Shi Shuhu and Hu stood up, staring fiercely at one of his subordinates, who hid near Yang Yuanqing's camp to monitor them.
"Whitei saw that Asdo gave them something, they got on the horse, and the tent was empty and everything was taken away."
"Damn it!"
Shi Shuhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was about to lead his troops to raid Yang Yuanqing in another hour and kill him, but he didn't expect to let him run away.
Shi Shuhu stomped his feet in hatred, grabbed the long knife from the table, rushed out of the tent and shouted: "All of it, come with me!"
A thousand subordinates were fully armed and ready. They were Duji's personal bodyguards and were ordered tonight to obey Shi Shuhu and Hu's orders.
Their place was east of Guike District, three miles away from Yang Yuanqing's camp. Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi turned over and shouted, "Catch me!"
More than a thousand cavalrymen urged their horses to follow him westward, and Shi Shu and Hu Xi also had no way out. Tomorrow Khan would know that he had leaked the secret, and it would be difficult for him to stay in the Turks. Yang Yuanqing's head was his pension for the rest of his life, so he would never let this person run away.

With the Khan Golden Arrow, Yang Yuanqing went smoothly. He passed three guard posts and rushed to his camp. The soldiers were eating barbecue around the bonfire. The Turks brought them a large amount of beef, mutton and milk wine. Their camp covers a large area of more than ten acres. Nearly a hundred tents were built, and twenty bonfires were lit in front of the tent. Many Turks were mixed with them to drink barbecue.
Yang Yuanqing led four subordinates to the bonfire area like lightning. The soldiers stood up in surprise. Yang Yuanqing stopped his war horse and shouted loudly: "Pack up your things and set off immediately!"
A brigade coach asked with his fist, "General, what happened?"
"The situation has changed, and if you don't leave, the whole army will be wiped out!"
The five hundred men led by Yang Yuanqing were well-trained elite soldiers. The general had orders, and the soldiers stood up to pack up their things. When he came, he brought three thousand pieces of brocade. Now the brocade has been sold and replaced with gold. The burden has been reduced a lot. The tent was also built by the Turks. They were not taken out. After a moment, everyone finished packing them. Five hundred soldiers turned over and urged the camel to run south along the Egen River.
At this time, they were still within the alert range of the Turkic tent. Patrol teams came forward from time to time to ask, Yang Yuanqing had Khan's golden arrows, and Wutu announced that he was a noble guest of the Turks, so no soldiers made things difficult for them. Instead, they showed them the way and found a smooth road to Xue Shao. They walked smoothly and walked for more than ten miles before gradually reaching the edge of the tent.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly reported, "General, it seems that there are pursuers!"
Yang Yuanqing also heard it, and there was a faint sound of horses running. He waved his hand and the soldiers stopped running. Yang Yuanqing jumped off the camel and leaned his ears on the ground to listen carefully. Listening to the ground was the basic skill that every scout must master. He listened intently for a moment, and about a thousand cavalry were three miles away from them.
The snow within fifty miles south of here was flattened by the Turks. On the flat road, the camels could not run to the war horses and would definitely be caught up. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment. He had five hundred camel soldiers himself. If Rangan sent troops to chase them, he would never send only one thousand people, at least three thousand people. These thousand people might not be sent by Rangan.
He looked up at the surroundings. Although it was night, it was snowy, and the scenery around him could still be seen clearly. He saw a forest a hundred steps away on the right, and another road was on the side. There was snow covered there, and the snow was three feet deep. It was difficult for war horses to run in such a deep snow, but camels could.
"Go to this side!" He waved his hand, and the soldiers turned the camel and headed towards the forest on the right. They soon walked into the deep snow area. After about seventy or eighty steps, Yang Yuanqing waved his hand again, and the soldiers stopped.
Yang Yuanqing focused his attention and looked at the way he came. The pursuers were getting closer and closer. He could see clearly in the snow. A large group of black shadows were running towards this side, about a thousand people. As they got closer, Yang Yuanqing also saw the person in the head, not Turkic, but Sogdian, who was over forty years old, with a goatee beard.
‘Shi Shuhu!’ Yang Yuanqing recognized it. He asked him to escape the shore of Lake Harry last time. This time he framed himself again. Yang Yuanqing’s murderous intent had appeared. He took out a small bottle from the horse bag. This was a bottle of poison that Conbas bought from Shi Shuhuhu’s wife. It was extracted from a red snake in the Khwarezm desert.
When he attacked Datou camp at night, he used a little bit to kill the sentry and half of the bottle. Today he wanted to fight poison with poison, so that Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi could taste his own poison.
He pulled out an iron arrow, his name was engraved on the shaft. Yang Yuanqing carefully painted a little snake venom on the tip of the arrow, and then stuffed the bottle and put it back into the bag. The snake venom was black during the day, but under the reflection of the snow, the snake venom made his arrow point look a strange color of green scales.
The Turkic cavalry rushed closer and found them. Then they turned their horses to chase after them. On the snowy night, Yang Yuanqing had clearly seen Shi Shuhu and Hu Si in the leader. His face was thin and he had a pair of treacherous little eyes, and his eyes showed greed and ferocity.
He was also a poisonous snake, tangling around the Turks and corroding the loyalty of the Turks to the Sui Dynasty with his venom. Yang Yuanqing was arching and arrows. When they rushed to one hundred and fifty steps, he pulled the bow and took an arrow. In the dark night, the arrow was as fast as lightning, and a little strange blue scale color flew towards Shi Shuhuxi's chest.
Shi Shuhu was anxious. He had already seen the Sui army in front. Just as he was about to retreat to avoid the Sui army's bow and arrow, a light of blue scales suddenly appeared in front of him. Shi Shuhuhu was stunned. This was the blue scale unique to Papamu. How could it be here? When he saw that there was a black arrow after the blue scales, the iron arrow had already shot through his chest and venom was injected into his heart.
Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi didn't even scream, but then turned over and fell off the horse and died on his own venom.
Duji's personal bodyguards also strangled the war horses, not because there was a deep snow area ahead, but many people saw it. In the hands of the Sui generals, there was a golden arrow, which was Khan's golden arrow, which was particularly clear under the reflection of the snow light. No one dared to move forward anymore, and they didn't know what to do. Shi Shu and Hu Xi had not issued an order to them yet.
The Sui army turned the camels one after another, walked into the depths of the snow, and gradually disappeared behind the forest.
