"What? The people we sent to Fengbian Village were killed by the Han cavalry at Baishi Pass? Piriya, what's wrong with you? You dare to say such nonsense? Believe it or not, I will chop off your head!"
In the magnificent tent of the Tuli tribe, Tuli, who was sitting on a tiger-skin chair, leaned forward slightly, staring angrily at a pale-faced officer kneeling on the ground. His face was filled with rage, but due to his age, the fat on his face had fallen down and was resting under his cheekbones. Therefore, the chief of the Tuli tribe looked like an angry Shar-Pei dog at this time, laughing angrily, "Last time you were drunk and talking nonsense in the army, I spared you for the sake of your uncle. This time you won't..." "I'm in conflict with Shi Fadu again. If you dare to talk nonsense again, even if your uncle intercedes, he can't save you. The Han cavalry hasn't entered the Gulang grassland for decades, and the army sent by the court has withdrawn one after another in the past few months. That general was also captured. You said that the Han cavalry wiped out all of you. Tell me, where did those Han cavalry come from? There are only two groups of Han cavalry in Baishiguan, more than a thousand people. You went there today, almost two thousand people. Tell me, how did they wipe out all of you, huh?"
"Chief, it's true, it's true!" The pale-faced Shatu officer shouted passionately, "We really encountered Han cavalry, about 2,000 of them. Before the battle, Shi Fadu was killed by a Han officer with an iron spear from a mile away before he even encountered the Han cavalry. Most of the warriors sent by our tribe today were killed. As soon as I broke out, I hurried to report to the chief..."
"Snapped… "
Before Piriya could finish his words, he was whipped in the face. A bloody mark ran from his left forehead to the corner of his mouth, across the corners of his eyes and the bridge of his nose. Piriya screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground, blood oozing out from between his fingers. It turned out that a strong man with a hairy beard sitting next to Tuli could not help it. He dropped the leg of lamb in his hand, took out a whip, and whipped Piriya hard. Just as Piriya rolled on the ground with his face covered, the man stood up, stepped over the table, and continued to whip Piriya with the whip in his hand. Each whip was more fierce and louder than the last. Amid the crisp sound of the whip that cut through the air, Piriya was whipped like a top, his clothes were torn, his skin was torn and his flesh was exposed. He screamed loudly and rolled around in the big tent.
"Hahaha, a Han Chinese killed Shifadu with an iron spear from only a mile away? You are a dog, you can't even make up a story. Why didn't you say that a Han Chinese killed our Tuli tribe with a bolt of lightning from only a hundred miles away, or killed the two thousand warriors in our tribe with one punch? You were just allowed to run back to report the news..." The man cursed while beating him hard, "You dog, you must have drunk a lot and are still drunk. I'm here to sober you up and teach you a lesson, so that you won't talk nonsense in this big tent again in the future..."
"It's true... Chief... I'm telling the truth..." Piriya screamed while rolling on the ground.
Tuli kept squinting his eyes as he watched Piriya rolling on the ground. As Piriya's voice gradually became quieter, Tuli's brows gradually frowned, "Tusa, that's enough..."
"Father, let me whip him to death..." The man whipped Piriya hard again, "Piriya is usually smooth-talking and likes to brag, but after drinking some cat urine, he doesn't even know who he is. This time, let him remember it well..."
"I say, enough!"
Tuli's voice suddenly became higher and his tone became stern, and only then did Tusa stop.
Tuli looked at Piriya, who was groaning and almost breathing his last. He then looked at his son, rubbing his temple with his chubby hand covered with jewel rings. He pondered for a moment and said, "Take your people and go to Fengbianji to check. If Shifadu is fine, Fengbianji will have almost been taken down by the time you arrive..."
"Ah, father, do you also believe the nonsense that Piriya said? How could a Han Chinese kill Shi Fadu with an iron spear from a mile away? How could there be such a powerful person in this world? How much strength does it take? How could there be such a person? If he said it was a hundred steps, I might have believed this bastard..." Tusa curled his lips and said
"Take Pirilla with you. If it turns out that he is talking nonsense, you can chop off his head and send it to Sphadu!"
"Haha, I'm going to pick the Han Chinese women in Fengbian Village first this time..."
Tuli glared and said, "Go quickly!"
"Yes!" Tusa knew that his father agreed, licked his lips with satisfaction, put away the whip in his hand, grabbed Piriya on the ground, and walked directly to the door of the big tent...
"What I said... is true... is true..." Piriya, who was almost unconscious, was still shouting weakly, while Tusa, who was holding him, just curled his lips and sneered. At this time, Tusa was thinking of the beautiful and lively Han women in Fengbian Village, and his heart was burning with passion...
Tusa walked to the door of the big tent. The servants on both sides had already lifted the door curtain for him. Just as he stepped out of the tent, there was a loud bang, and Tusa's strong body flew back at the door of the tent. An iron spear pierced Tusa's body with the force of thunder, and flew back into the tent with a huge force, smashing the tent and nailing Tusa's body directly to the ground, killing him instantly.
"Ah..." Looking at Tusa being nailed to the ground by the iron spear in front of him, the chief of the Tuli tribe screamed and stood up all of a sudden. He pointed at the Tusa nailed to the ground with his trembling hands and screamed, "Tusa..."
The servants in the big tent were stunned for a moment, and then they started to panic.
"There is an assassin, there is an assassin..." a servant shouted, and a group of servants actually ran to Tuli's side, wanting to protect Tuli.
In just a blink of an eye, the panicked sounds outside could be heard growing louder and louder in the big tent. Amid the panicked sounds of countless Shatu people, there were also the shouts of the Han people and the dull sound of horse hooves...
"Get out of here..." Tuli yelled, pulled out the scimitar beside him, overturned the table in front of him, and rushed out of the tent...
Just after he rushed out of the Tuli tribe's tent, Tuli saw a young Han knight riding a black rhinoceros horse with white hooves, holding an iron spear in one hand. He came in the blood splattered by a group of attendants and guards outside the tent, at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him...
The spear stabbed...
"Who are you?" Tuli roared, raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed at the young man.
The scimitar in Tuli's hand flew away instantly, just like it hit a speeding train. Then, in the next moment, Tuli felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then his throat hurt. Only then did he realize that his throat had been pierced by a spear...
The next moment, Tuli felt his feet suddenly leave the ground and his whole body suddenly came into the air.
The tip of the spear went straight into Tuli's throat and came out from the back of his neck. Then, like an insignificant prey, Tuli's fat and strong body was picked up by the man with the spear in his hand, and he was raised high on the horse...
The last scene that Tuli saw while being lifted in the air was the burning tents of the Tuli tribe not far away, and a group of powerful Han cavalrymen were burning and killing people everywhere. The panicked Tuli tribesmen, like prey being chased, fell one by one under the swords, spears and arrows of the Han cavalrymen...
—What a fast gun!
This was the last thought in Tuli's mind.
