Yang Yuanqing did not walk on the Yulin Road, but crossed the Yellow River and walked along the southern foot of Yin Mountain. The Great Sui and Turks used Yin Mountain as the boundary. Although the Sui Dynasty did not garrison troops on the grasslands south of Yin Mountain and did not have settlements of the Sui people, the southern foot of Yin Mountain belonged to the sphere of influence of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Yuanqing led 500 elite cavalry to travel and stay together, running eastward. Nine days later, the group passed Dingxiang County and was about to enter the north of Mayi County. He had already received news that Yang Guang's convoy was parked on the shore of Qifubo Lake, which was only more than 200 miles away from them.

At this time, it was already dark and the personal captain Zhang Sheng came forward to ask for instructions: "Report to the general manager, should we camp on the spot, or should we go to Qifubo overnight?"

Yang Yuanqing looked around. They were still in Dingxiang County. In the north, there were the surplus of the towering and undulating Daqing Mountains, like a giant python, lying across the vast grassland. A few miles to the south was a big river, with waves as light as a mirror. That was the famous Jin River in the north. He saw a forest covering an area of ​​more than ten acres by the river. He pointed at it and said, "Let's rest in the woods for one night and set off tomorrow morning."

The cavalry urged the war horses to sail towards the southeast forest. The birch forest was very quiet, the trees were not dense, and the sunlight could shine on the ground, which was not gloomy. The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. The soldiers searched for open space to build tents. More than 20 scouts were distributed around the forest to patrol the forest, and several sentries even climbed up the big trees to keep watch. Although this was within the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, it had already reached the grassland, so everyone dared not take it lightly.

Candles were lit in the tent, and Yang Yuanqing took the light and looked at the map. Now they were in Hohhot in later generations, and it was still a vast prairie.

Yang Yuanqing looked back at Zhaochen. She was also wearing soldier's armor, sitting cross-legged on a few sheepskins. She had taken off her helmet and was combing her black waterfall-like hair.

"Can you bear the hardships of marching along the way?"

Chuchen turned around and smiled sweetly, "It's okay! I used to sleep in the open air and often stayed in the trees overnight, and I'm used to it."

She asked again: "Yuan Qing, have you finished your performance report?"

"Yeah! There's still a little left, I'm going to finish writing tonight."

Yang Yuanqing took out the memorial from his skin and sat down to think slowly. He also wanted to write about the civil strife that occurred in the Western Turks. He had received information that the Western Turks Shekui Khan was defeated by the Western Turks. There were signs of unification within the Western Turks. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while, and he needed to consider the words.

At this time, a report from the patrol soldiers came from outside the tent, "Report to the general manager, the patrol soldiers found something abnormal!"

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, put down his pen and walked out of the big tent, and asked, "What abnormality has been discovered?"

"A team of more than 200 people was found in the west, which seemed to be envoys, but not envoys of the Sui Dynasty, but seemed to be envoys of... Goryeo."

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised. How could the Goryeo envoy appear here? After a moment of thought, he realized that the Goryeo envoy must have gone to the capital and turned around and went north to see the emperor.

"Don't worry about them!"

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, turned back and walked to the tent, and walked to the tent. He stopped, as if he had thought of something, and turned around and asked, "Do they have Sui soldiers or officials in the capital escort?"

"Report to the supervisor, there is no one!"

Yang Yuanqing was a little confused. This was in the Sui Dynasty. If he came from the capital or from the Central Plains, there would usually be officials accompanying him or soldiers who had to send him off. How could this envoy not have it?

"Let's go! Look."

Yang Yuanqing asked someone to lead a war horse, rolled over the horse, and ran out of the forest with three hundred cavalry to the west.

In the dark night, the cavalry ran at lightning and walked about ten miles to find a patrol. The patrol reported: "They were heading north five miles away."

Yang Yuanqing was even more confused. He was obviously on the west side, but they were heading north. This felt like he was retreating north. Could it be... they were going to the Turks?

With a thought, Yang Yuanqing immediately thought of this possibility. The other party went to meet the Turks and bypassed the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so he marched northward.

Thinking of this, he immediately urged the horse to chase northwest. The cavalry chased for seven or eight miles. Sure enough, they found a team sneaking northward, with about two hundred people rushing to the dark night, undoubtedly having an unspeakable attempt. At this time, the other party also discovered them and immediately accelerated to flee northward.

But the envoys carried heavy objects, and they could not escape Yang Yuanqing's elite cavalry. Three hundred cavalrymen rode their horses and ran away in just a moment. In a while, they gradually caught up with the envoys' team. Yang Yuanqing drew an iron arrow and Zhang Yin drew the arrow. Under the moonlight, he could see clearly. He pulled the arrow and shot it away. The arrow was like black lightning. "Crack!", an arrow shot the flag pole in the envoy's hand. The envoy was shocked and slowed down the horse's speed.

The Goryeo officer guarding next to him was furious when he saw that the flag pole was shot off. He also hung an arrow, clamped his horse with his legs, turned around and shot an arrow at Yang Yuanqing's throat. The arrow was extremely powerful. Updated quickly, August 1 Chinese

"Good arrow!"

Yang Yuanqing cheered and drew his sword to slash him, "Crack!", chopping the arrow into two segments, but he could still feel the strong power of the arrow on his knife.

This arrow made Yang Yuanqing feel familiar with the officer. Could it be him?

Yang Yuanqing shouted, "Stop them!"

Three hundred cavalry rushed forward and instantly blocked the other envoy's way. At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already seen clearly that it was indeed the envoy of Goryeo. The envoy was wearing a tall and tall hat unique to the Goryeo Dynasty. The guard officer next to him was tall and mighty. Although he had not seen him for six years, Yang Yuanqing still recognized him at a glance. It was Gai Suwen who had competed with him in the Chang'an Palace.

"Who is traveling through the Sui territory without authorization?" Yang Yuanqing shouted.

The envoy did not know Yang Yuanqing and thought they were patrolling soldiers in Dingxiang County. However, Gai Suwen suddenly recognized Yang Yuanqing. He was stunned for a moment and was about to tell the envoy, but it was too late. The envoy stepped forward and bowed and said sincerely: "I am the Minister of Revenue of the Goryeo State, Yizhi Wende, and will meet the Emperor of Sui on the order of the king."

The envoy Yizhi Wende spoke fluent Chinese, but Gai Suwen secretly said something wrong. This is not a patrol soldier, but this is Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou. He must have gone to meet the Emperor of Sui. Isn’t this confrontation exposed them? But Yizhi Wende had already said it and could not be changed.

Gai Suwen had no choice but to laugh dryly, and stepped forward and bowed: "General Yang, we haven't seen each other for six years. I have heard that General Yang is powerful in the Central Plains and has risen to the top, which is a happy congratulation!"

"Brother, is he Yang Yuanqing?" A crisp voice sounded beside Gai Suwen.

Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that the young general beside Gai Suwen was actually a woman, about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and thin, with a small nose and small eyes, and a cold face. Since she was called brother, she was Gai Suwen's sister.

Gai Suwen quickly apologized: "This is Jiaojiao, my sister, I don't understand etiquette. Please forgive me for General Yang."

"Brother, don't be humble to him. He wants me to call him general unless he can beat the sword in my hand."

This girl is Gai Suwen's young girl named Yuan Gai Jiaojiao, also known as Gai Jiaojiao. She glanced at Yang Yuanqing arrogantly, with a look of disdain, and fiddled with an eight-foot-long rolling embroidered knife in her hand.

Yang Yuanqing ignored her and said to Goryeo envoy Yizhi Wende: "Since the envoy wants to meet the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he should go east and be in Qifubo, why go north?"

When Yizhi Wende heard Gai Suwen call the other party General Yang, he knew that the other party was not a patrolman. He was a little panicked and hurriedly said, "We don't know, let's turn east."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and winked. A soldier jumped off his horse, went up to pick up the talisman, and handed it to Yizhi Wende. Yang Yuanqing apologized and said, "I was shot by mistake just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Yizhi Wende waved his hands repeatedly and said to his followers: "Let's go east!"

He urged the horse to go east and hurriedly walked away. Gai Suwen bowed to Yang Yuanqing and smiled and said, "General Yang, there will be a date in the future!"

"Take care all the way!" Yang Yuanqing gave a gift slightly.

The Korean girl Gai Jiaojiao snorted, raised her head high, and ignored Yang Yuanqing. The personal soldiers around Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. When they walked away, the personal soldiers' captain Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "That little girl is so self-indulgent, the general manager ignores her at all, but she acts arrogant and thinks she is beautiful? I look like a weasel."

The cavalrymen laughed loudly, but Yang Yuanqing did not laugh. The appearance of this Korean envoy puzzled him, what were they doing to the Turks?

He was worried about the safety of the camp in the woods, and waved his hand, "Go back to the camp!"

The cavalry turned around and ran towards their camp.

The Goryeo envoy ran east for about ten miles, then slowly stopped. Ezhi Wende turned around and asked Gai Suwen, "Who was the Sui general just now?"

Gai Suwen said to Gai Jiaojiao: "Tell me!"

At this time, Gai Jiaojiao had no arrogance she had just now, but had a serious face. She bowed and said, "Justice General was Yang Yuanqing, the famous Sui Dynasty, the grandson of the former Grand Marshal Yang Su, the chief inspector of the Zuo Xiaowei, the Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu, the Duke of Wuyuan County, and currently the general manager of Fengzhou and the prefect of Wuyuan County."

"It turns out that it is this person. I have heard of it. Gai Jiao Niang is worthy of being the first sight of the king in the Sui Dynasty."

Seeing that Yizhi Wende was a little disgusted with Yang Yuanqing, Gai Jiaojiao sneered: "This person is not only very skilled in martial arts, but also very smart. He repeatedly defeated important officials for the Sui Emperor. If the Shangshu despises him, he will sooner or later be defeated in his hands."

Eji Wende was shocked, and then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But I have nothing to do with him now. What does it matter whether I value him or not?"

Gai Jiaojiao said mercilessly: "But the Secretary of the People's Republic of China said the wrong thing just now. You shouldn't say you went to see the Emperor of Sui. He knew that you were lying when he confronted the Emperor of Sui. Instead, he wanted to cover up the truth, which made the Emperor of Sui suspect the purpose of our trip. The Secretary of the People's Republic of China was too careless."

Eji Wende was so angry that she said it, and said with hatred: "I don't know that he is Yang Yuanqing. You know, but you don't tell me in time. Is it my fault?"

Seeing that Yizhi Wende was a little worried, Gai Suwen scolded his sister and said, "No rude to the Minister of the Yizhi!"

When Yizhi Wende thought that they were Yuan Taizha's children, he had to swallow his anger and said, "Forget it, since it has happened, it is irreversible. Let's hurry up!"

Gai Jiaojiao looked at his back, snorted coldly, and murmured to herself: "How could the king send such a stupid person to serve as a mission?
