Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 285: The long night is about to end

Inside the tent, Batu was still receiving the couple with a stern face.

But at this moment Batu felt that he was just a dog, they were man and woman.

Who could have imagined that, with all the preparations and precautions, in their own camp, surrounded by countless soldiers and horses, the envoy's head would still be easily taken by these two? Not to mention the ability, few people would have the courage, but this pair did.

Not only will you kill him, but you will also be able to put the blame on him. If the envoy's entourage tells you about it, even if you kill Zhao Changhe as well, and say that it was Zhao Changhe who committed suicide on his own initiative, do you think the Khan will believe you

Of course, there was no choice but to kill all the envoys and their entourage, but issuing such an order in front of the entire army meant there was no turning back.

At this moment, Zhao Changhe was sticking his head out for me to kill, but I didn't dare to touch it, no matter how angry I was. Now that things have come to this, if I don't ask Daxia for help, I will die without a burial place.

As a result, now they don't believe in themselves.

As soon as he entered the tent, Yue Hongling pressed a finger on one of his acupuncture points, and he instantly felt an unbearable pain and itch all over his body: "This is my unique Sunset Bright and Destroying Finger, and it will teach you a lesson. From now on, as long as my true energy touches your body, it can be detonated at any time, and you will die without a complete corpse. I don't know if Timur can solve it, but even if your uncle is resurrected, he probably can't solve it."

Batu was sweating profusely from the pain: "Why do you have to do this? At this moment, how dare I attack you? I have no choice but to follow you till the end."

Yue Hongling said coldly: "Barbarians are untrustworthy, don't blame me for being vicious."

Zhao Changhe sat aside with great satisfaction, pouring wine and admiring his wife's performance. The more he watched, the more comfortable he felt.

Yue Hongling is a woman who has been alone in the world for so many years. When it comes to being ruthless, she is of course more ruthless than anyone else and will never show mercy easily. How did he manage to pick up such a girl? It seems that being handsome does have its advantages.

Batu had no choice but to accept defeat and endured the torture for half an hour before he was barely able to let go of the pain. He then lowered his head and poured them wine, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Zhao Changhe also thought in his heart that this guy is really a character. Why did he think he was just a fool before

He finally sighed and said, "Brother Batu, who are you showing this stinky face to? If Hong Ling hadn't saved you, you would have died under the Heshan spear. Now you turn around and link shoulders with the Timur envoy and keep a close watch on the two of us? Are you still thinking that we are unwilling to surrender and ruin your plan as the Lion King?"

Batu said in a muffled voice: "Alright, you know why I have such a grim face. We are not friends, we each have our own agenda, and now you have succeeded, that's all. I have to praise you, Zhao Changhe, for being a hero. I admire you for your bravery and martial arts. Now I have fallen into your trap, just tell me what you want to do."

"Before that, let's clarify one issue."

"explain."

"Who fucks whose mother?"

Batu's face turned red, and after a while he called out to Yue Hongling, "Mom."

Yue Hongling just took a sip of wine and spat it all out, almost passing out.

Zhao Changhe was also amazed: "Brother Batu, I didn't expect you to be such a talented person."

Batu said expressionlessly: "Thank you so much, I am far inferior to you."

"Why do you have to look so cheated?" Zhao Changhe leaned back in his chair and drank leisurely. "I'm helping you walk the right path. Timur's desire to swallow up your tribe is written all over his face, and you were actually fooled by a little promise, thinking that you could get your uncle's status and sleep soundly from now on? Are you still dreaming? Even your uncle was just a subject, and you still want to be better than him? I want to see how you live your life as a shitty lion king."

Batu thought to himself that since he had Hu Lie as a backup, it was possible for him to become stronger than his uncle, and it was entirely possible for him to develop into someone who would not submit but just obey orders.

But he would not say this at this moment, he just said: "It is not easy to make up your mind to go against the Khan, it is best if we can live in peace with each other. Especially your performance tonight made me realize that if Yue Hongling wanted to risk his life to assassinate me, I might be in trouble, so what if the Khan came to kill me personally? I didn't feel the gap was so big before, but today you seemed to be demonstrating it to me, which made me even more worried."

"You really were ignorant and fearless before."

"Not entirely. The Khan and your Emperor are wary of each other. During the attack on Yanmen Pass, he only stayed in the rear tent to mobilize troops and did not personally take action. What about the tribal disputes? Besides, I have some connections in the temple. As long as they are not torn apart, the Khan will not come to assassinate someone like me personally. He still has some dignity."

"That makes sense." Zhao Changhe thought to himself that if he took Xia Longyuan as a model, whoever said that he would run out to assassinate a thing at the seventh level of the Profound Gate, Xia Longyuan would probably slap you in the face first.

Batu sighed, "But if we want to completely tear our relationship apart and involve the alternation of hegemony, then the nature of the matter will change. The Khan will no longer have such scruples or reservations. Taking my head off will be like playing. Your emperor will not restrain him for me, right? I won't believe you even if you dare to promise."

Zhao Changhe touched his chin and said, "If you are concerned about this, how about I give you another backup?"

Batu sneered: "What, are the Saibei Buddhists trying to bring out the Maitreya Sect Leader again? Unfortunately, even Maitreya is no match for the Khan."

Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about it. I have more people on the Heavenly Rankings that I can talk to than you have ever seen."

Batu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that it seemed to be true. Apart from the Emperor of Daxia, at least this guy could have a say in front of Cui Wenjing. It was said that he had a close relationship with Situ Xiao. I wonder if Situ Xiao's master Li Shentong could also have a say

This is three at random, and Batu has never seen three on the Heavenly Ranking.

Zhao Changhe stared at Batu: "Things have come to this point, there is no point in retreating. If I can find someone to hold Timur back, do you, Batu, dare to stab the Golden Horde from behind during the decisive battle of Yanmen?" Batu's breathing became increasingly heavy.

Zhao Changhe said word by word: "You also have a temple behind you... The Khan of the Golden Horde, Timur can do it, so why can't you, Batu?"

"Don't say anything. It's very difficult for me to attack the Khan from behind." Batu took a deep breath. "To get to Yanmen, Huangshaji is the only way. If I bypass Huangshaji, and then Ubalu attacks from behind, I will be sent to death. If I attack Huangshaji first, it is impossible to not let anyone go. Once the Khan gets the news, I will still die."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "You can take a detour. Wubalu won't attack you from behind."

"Are you sure? Don't tell me you want to assassinate Wubalu..." Batu glanced at Yue Hongling who had remained silent. "Just like before, even if Miss Yue could kill me, she can't escape. Are you really willing to exchange your lives with Wubalu?"

"Whether we can do it or not... You have no choice, do you dare to take the gamble?"

If you succeed, you will dominate the grassland; if you fail, you will die and your clan will be destroyed.

Do you dare to gamble

Batu gripped the wine bowl tightly and crushed it to pieces with a "crack".

… …

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The Ferghana horses rushed out of the camp and headed straight for Huangshaji.

Yue Hongling rode in front, and Zhao Changhe sat behind her, holding her waist. After the two of them rode for more than ten miles, Yue Hongling finally spoke: "I can't assassinate Wu Balu. I can't even enter Huangshaji. Are you lying to him?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "You probably want to ask me if I want you to take risks..."

Yue Hongling curled her lips: "I know you can't, but I just can't figure out how you can do it. And your so-called finding him a place on the Heavenly Ranking sounds like a big lie. Could it be that your ultimate goal is just to trick him into stabbing Timur and making him withdraw his troops? As for the consequences of his battle with the Lion Tribe, you don't care at all?"

"Of course not. Even though he seems helpless and can't be swayed by my words, in fact, if he doesn't see any real results, he can just drag his feet and move forward. In the end, everything will be in vain."

"So you can really do what he wants?"

"I can only say that you should try your best... This time I am not asking you to take any risks. You should not even enter Huangshaji."

"Ah!" Yue Hongling reined in his horse, frowned and looked back: "I won't just stand by and watch you go into danger."

"You have something to do too. There are so many masters from the Temple in the market. Are you responsible for leading them away? Don't fight too long. Safety comes first."

Yellow sand collection.

On the shore of the Central Yellow Sand Lake, Chi Li and the temple shaman had been exploring inside and outside the lake for more than twenty days, still working tirelessly.

They firmly believed that this must be the exit of the secret realm. As long as they guarded here, Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling would not be able to escape.

The first rays of morning light reflected on the lake, making it sparkle and look more like a secret place, which was very touching.

Chi Li even had some mirage-like insights into martial arts...

While he was thinking, a clear female voice floated from outside the market: "Where is Chi Li! Do you dare to come out and finish the unfinished battle between you and me in Yangzhou?"

Yue Hongling!

Why was she outside the market

Chi Li stared blankly at the lake that he had been guarding for more than twenty days and almost vomited blood.

Who the hell said this lake is the exit of the secret realm

I recommend a book called "Gods and Immortals". It is a strange story in the style of Liaozhai. The style is classical but does not affect the reading. The setting is mysterious but unique, with a strong oriental classical feature. It is similar to the belief in deification and the incense burning to prove the truth. Therefore, the protagonist develops in the early stage by copying novels and taking exams. Overall, it is a little bit more of a daily style and does not follow the usual routine. Those who are interested in classical immortals can try it.
