"You let her go first, and I promise to let you leave. You Tang people have no credibility at all. Kashim was killed by your Crown Prince, but you don't have the courage to admit it. Let her go, and I can give you a Big money to get you out of here safely." Saleh was angry but helpless.
I originally thought it would be a very simple siege battle. As long as the Persian governor's palace was captured and Belus was killed, the Sasanian kingdom would be completely subjugated.
Therefore, his father was willing to let his sister follow him to adapt to the daily hard work of the army and the cruelty of war, so that she could give up the idea of setting up a women's army.
However, he did not want to underestimate the enemy and was accidentally attacked from behind by Datang's reinforcements at a critical moment.
But after the camp tent caught fire, her sister, as if on the verge of death, led her hundred-man bodyguards and sneakily ran out to catch up with the Tang Dynasty's army.
When he arrived, this was the scene in front of him, which made him angry and hateful, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The daughter that his father loved the most was taken hostage. He could not let his sister lose her life by continuing to hunt down Tang Jun. In that case, he would have no chance of inheriting his father's throne.
Li Hong looked at Saleh and shook his head gently with a firm expression.
The woman in her arms remained motionless, and bursts of alluring fragrance came from her body. It was obvious that this woman was still a girl, right? Li Hong guessed in his heart.
"Get out of the way." Li Hong's voice sounded softly in the woman's ears.
Saleh looked at the indifferent Li Hong and placed the horizontal knife covered with donated blood on his sister Ben Yeyue's neck. The sharp contrast with his sister's snow-white neck made him dare not move at all.
"When will you let her go? How can I trust you?" Saleh asked again, but there were already signs of relaxation in his expression.
"When I am safe, I will let her go. As for how to make you trust me, she is the best trust." An evil smile appeared on the corner of Li Hong's mouth, looking at Saleh and said lightly.
Saleh looked at him silently, and after a long time he said slowly: "I believe you are a trustworthy person, and please don't hurt her. Otherwise, even if I catch you Datang, I will Will kill you!"
Saleh looked ferocious as he watched Li Hong warn with sharp words.
"Then let your people get out of the way." Li Hong motioned to Hua Meng and Mang Zhong to follow him and retreat. The personal guards slowly gathered to protect them in the middle.
Under Saleh's order, the soldiers in white clothes slowly opened a passage and slowly lowered their weapons.
At this time, Xue Rengui, Hei Te Changzhi, Wang Mingyuan and Lawless ran in immediately.
I saw His Highness the Crown Prince holding a woman in his arms, her entire face wrapped behind a white gauze scarf, with only a pair of bright and beautiful eyes exposed.
His Royal Highness held the woman in his arms, held the horizontal knife tightly in one hand and placed it on the woman's neck, and gently held the woman's slender waist in one hand. He was watching Saleh slowly retreating with the guards.
"Wait a minute." Saleh looked at the troops following him, Li Hong, who was retreating cautiously, shouted, and then said: "What's your name? If you don't let her go when you get to a safe place, I will definitely I will kill you in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Hong was obviously startled when he heard Saleh ask her name. Even the woman in his arms stiffened and involuntarily turned her head to look at the man who had hijacked him.
Apart from her parents and brothers, he was the only one who saw her confident and beautiful face just now, and at that moment, she saw surprise in this person's eyes, and then seemed to be confused.
But there was no uncomfortable feeling in the way this person looked at him, as if he was admiring a beautiful... thing
Therefore, when her brother asked about this person's name, she couldn't help but become interested.
She really wanted to know what kind of person this man who kidnapped her was, who could quickly and quickly determine his identity after she accidentally screamed. With his skill and talent, How can he hold any position in the Tang Army
"Don't move, you don't want your neck anymore?" Li Hong shouted coldly, regardless of whether she understood.
But Yeyue still turned her head disobediently. The two of them were almost face to face, but she still ignored Li Hong's warning and glanced at Li Hong's chiseled profile.
Although Yeyue didn't like the smell of blood, the smell of sweat glands on the man's body at this moment, in her opinion, could completely cover up the unpleasant smell of blood on the sharp horizontal knife.
He even let her take a few greedy breaths from time to time to relieve the choking smell of blood at the tip of her nose.
She could feel that the sharp horizontal knife was only lightly placed on her neck, and it was still far away from her long and fair neck.
It's just that the angle is different, making it look like Saleh is clinging to his neck.
"My name is... Quan Yi. If I didn't let her go, you could have sent an envoy to question our emperor, or you could have sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty." After thinking for a long time, he decided to give the blame to Quan Yi.
Xue Rengui and others were not suitable, let alone Hua Meng and others. The names did not sound like human names, they all seemed to be obtained casually, and there were a few that he had irresponsibly obtained back then.
"Quan Yi! I remember your name! If you dare not return my sister, I will definitely ask your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to find out! And you will also be punished by your Emperor for not keeping your promise. Damn it! Her status is very noble. I hope you will treat her well. If she is satisfied, you will be punished by your emperor!" Saleh looked at Li Hong and said solemnly.
But someone has long been bored: His Majesty the Emperor will execute me? Because of your sister? Even without you as my sister, do you think I will be better off when I go back? Which one, Father Long or Mother Long, can let me go? But fortunately, when I grow up, spanking is no longer possible, and spanking is impossible...
"What he said is..." The person in his arms suddenly spoke up.
Li Hong, who was still wandering in his mind, was startled and hurriedly put his hand around the waist on Yeyue's white gauze scarf, covering Yeyue's mouth in time.
"What did the ghost call you? If the ghost screams again, I will kill you right now! The worst is to trade one life for another. My cheap life is exchanged for your noble life. No matter what, I will make the profit!" Although Li Hong seemed to be jealous He spoke to the woman inside, but in fact he was afraid that the woman's reminder would make her brother doubt his identity.
As expected, Saleh gave up the doubts in his mind and just said that his sister wanted to explain something to him.
So he said: "Yeyue, don't worry, you have to be brave, they won't do anything to you, I will definitely get you back."
The woman's mouth was covered by Li Hong's big hand, and she was unable to make a sound, but her bright and beautiful eyes stared at Li Hong fiercely.
She could tell from the tone of Li Hong's words that this man did not give his real name, but thought of a false name and gave it to his brother.
I wanted to remind my brother, but before I could finish speaking, this man's hand, which was full of sweat, covered his mouth from outside the gauze scarf.
And she also discovered that this person didn't seem nervous. Whether it was his tone or attitude when talking to his brother, he gave people a feeling of being confident and having everything under control.
But from his sweaty palms, you can tell that he is actually very nervous now and is not as relaxed as he appears on the surface.
Thinking of this, Yeyue raised her jade hand, took it off the big hand that was full of sweat and covering her mouth, and then... under Saleh's shocked eyes, she placed it on her slender waist again. superior.
Li Hong was also stunned for a while, but soon, before Saleh came back to his senses, Li Hong began to retreat as if he was holding Yeyue in his arms.
Under the watch of Saleh and Baiyi Dashi, and under the escort of Xue Rengui and others, and the personal guards, Li Hong held the princess in Baiyi Dashi hostage and slowly withdrew from the encirclement of Baiyi Dashi.
Without his order, a tall horse, which at first glance was a Tocharian specialty and extremely powerful, was delivered to Li Hong's hands.
"Withdraw!" Li Hong whispered.
Then he held the woman in his arms, and the two of them mounted the war horse together, pulled the reins and stepped back. Li Hong looked at Saleh and said coldly: "Whether it's Tocharo or Khwarezm, They are all the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to interfere again, it will be equivalent to driving the woman in my arms to death! Also, you can always invade to the west and expand your territory, but to the east, your The army won’t work. As many people as you dare to come over, I’ll eat them all! Tell your father, the Tang Dynasty is much more powerful than you think!”
After Li Hong finished speaking, he ignored Saleh's astonished look and hugged him tightly with one hand. Even though he was wearing armor, his body was still soft. When the horse galloped, the fragrance flowed into him with the wind. In his nostrils, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
After all, he hadn't held a woman in his arms for a long time. Banmei and Xunlan were left in Shule City by him. Now he had a young woman sitting in his arms, which reminded him of Bai Chun in Chang'an.
After traveling all night, the scouts sent by Li Hong did not find Bai Yi Dashi's pursuers behind him, which made him look at Bai Yi Dashi with admiration.
Saleh's seemingly anxious and threatening words were actually to save face in front of his troops. Furthermore, Bai Yi Dashi was confident that he would not dare to hurt Ye Yue, so he was so relieved to leave it to him.
And this is the confidence that a powerful empire has.
Just like, if they were captured by any chance, whether it was Khwarezm, Baiyi Dashi, Tocharo, or Tubo, they would not dare to do anything to them.
Because they know in their hearts that if the heir of a superpower dies in their own country, the superpower will use all its strength to make you pay a cruel price, even if it is just for the sake of face.
