Finest Servant

Chapter 584: Sheep Picking Contest

Tu Suozuo looked around suspiciously, waved his arm suddenly, and shouted: "Search!"

He led all the most elite warriors of the tribe, although there were only a hundred or so of them, they all had extraordinary skills. Hearing his order, the Turkic people pulled out their sharp scimitars in a moment, scattered along the tent, and searched for the dense grass. The war knives in their hands swung from time to time, cutting off clusters of green grass and dead branches with all their strength, and advancing quickly.

"Could it be that she's back?!" Tu Suozuo muttered to himself as he watched the warriors in the clan march forward, with a few bright and excited lights flashing in his eyes

Zhao Kangning's face was bruised and swollen, and his complexion was pale. But under the eaves, he had to bow his head. The hope of returning to Dahua was all on the right king of Turkic. How dare he offend Tu Suozuo? This whip can only be endured alive.

Hearing Tu Suozuo talking to himself, the little prince gritted his teeth, leaned forward obstinately, flatteringly said: "My lord, what are you looking for?"

His words and deeds did not seem to exceed Tu Suozuo's expectations. The young Turkic Right King glanced at him and said slowly: "I am looking for a taste."

Seeing that Tu Suozuo did not act violently again, Zhao Kangning temporarily found some comfort, covered his cheeks and said, "A kind of taste? My lord, can you explain in more detail?!"

Tu Suozuo laughed twice: "It's about the woman Tu Suozuo likes, you won't understand if I tell you."

Zhao Kangning hurriedly apologized with a smile: "So that's how it is! The woman who can be favored by you, Mr. You Wang, must be intelligent and beautiful, just like the most brilliant kapok on the grassland. Kang Ning wishes you all wishes come true and you will arrive early Great wish!"

These words seemed to be very effective. Tu Suozuo showed a few smiles on his face, patted Zhao Kangning on the shoulder and said: "Not only that, she is a hundred times stronger than you imagined—Little prince, I also know that you are Worried about the battle on the front line. I was too excited just now, and I missed it for a while, so please don't take it to heart."

"Where. Where," the little prince was overwhelmed with flattery, clasping his fists again and again: "You Wang taught me a lesson just now. There is indeed something wrong with Kang Ning rushing forward."

Tu Suozuo hummed a few times: "Tomorrow morning, one hundred thousand elites will go to the front line. At this time, if I make unusual demands on the national teacher, others will definitely think that I am a coward, which is obviously justified. In the end It will become unreasonable. I, Suotuzuo, will not do such a stupid thing. If what you just reported is true. Badru is indeed taking the opportunity to suppress our warriors. I will report to the Great Khan at the right time. I believe the Great Khan I will definitely punish the traitors justly, and return justice to our warriors!"

With this sentence, the whip just now was worth it. Zhao Kangning was overjoyed,

Bowing and clasping fists: "Kang Ning is on behalf of his father and king under Jiuquan, and on behalf of the people of Dahua who have suffered and suffered. Thank you for your kindness."

"Is there any need to thank you?" Tu Suozuo slightly helped him up: "You are also thinking of the Khanate, although your words are a little too radical. But even if it reaches the ears of the Great Khan, no one will blame you .”

Except for a happy nod. Zhao Kangning could no longer find words to describe his current mood.

After the two exchanged a few words, the Turkic warrior responsible for the search had already returned. Holding a few bouquets of fresh flowers and plants in his hand, dripping with drops of water.

"Your Majesty, there is no abnormality found in the grass. The warriors only picked up these flowers and plants in Wuhu Lake. They are all common by the lake, and they may be discarded by the herdsmen of the clan."

Zhao Kangning had been in Turkic for a while, and he could barely understand the words of this warrior.

Tu Suozuo took the water-soaked flowers and plants, put them near his nose and sniffed them a few times, he let out a long sigh of relief, and shook his head slowly, but the joy on his face was hard to restrain: "Is it her? It's time too, she should be back!!"

"Congratulations, Mr. You Wang!" Zhao Kangning heard clearly beside him, how could he give up the opportunity to pat on the horse right in front of him.

Looking at the tightly bundled flowers, Tu Suozuo shook his head and smiled, his dark blue eyes were full of brilliance, and he muttered to himself, "Your identity is different now, but you still like to laugh and play so much!"

The young and heroic Turkic Right King took a deep breath, and the gentle smile on his face made people dumbfounded.

Zhao Kangning blinked quickly, obviously thinking about the origin of a woman who can be called a grassland hero like Tu Suozuo. He glanced left and right, puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, the princess is around here?!"

Zhao Kangning is a cunning guy, calling her the princess so soon. Tu Suozuo laughed and shook his head: "The little prince made a mistake, she can't be my princess!"

impossible? Then you are still so happy? Zhao Kangning looked puzzled.

Tu Suozuo did not explain, and sighed with a smile: "I grew up with her in the grassland. She is the most beautiful and outstanding woman in our Turkic history. She is intelligent, unparalleled, decisive, and has a unique personality. I never like others to inquire about her whereabouts. Today we saw these flowers in Wuhu Lake, which is already an unexpected surprise! However, according to my guess, if there is no accident, she will return to the royal court in a few days. After all , the big day is coming soon.”

Speaking of the big day, Tu Suozuo had excited smiles on his face, and his eyes were full of longing. Zhao Kangning hurriedly said:

Sir, what is the big day? ! "

Tu Suozuo laughed loudly and shook his head without saying a word. A follower beside him shouted in dissatisfaction: "Young Lord Zhao, you have been in the Khanate for so long, don't you know that every spring, our royal court will hold a sheep competition?!"

—

Sheep picking contest? Zhao Kangning suddenly realized, hurriedly clasped his fists, and said in a respectful voice: "So that's it. Kang Ning hereby congratulates Mr. You Wang for a successful start and success. In the future, Kang Ning will send the most expensive pearl produced by Dahua to congratulate you for your kindness. day!"

"Okay, okay!" Tu Suozuo laughed loudly, his eyes were full of joy——

"General, do you want to do it now?!" After diving for a long time, far away from Tu Suozuo's tent, Xu Zhen emerged from the water, let out a long breath, and gestured excitedly. His face was full of ferocity.

Tu Suozuo, the Turkic right king who came suddenly, is an out-and-out big fish. If he could be killed, it would be tantamount to cutting off the right and left arm of the Turks, besides. And that Zhao Kangning who sold his ancestors for glory. It's even more annoying. If you can take all of these two people, it will kill two birds with one stone. No wonder Xu Zhen's eyes are shining like gold.

Looking up to the other side, the Turkic man and Zhao Kangning were chatting happily. You Wang's hundreds of strong bodyguards have gradually increased their patrol area, and even sent a team of guards on the lake. Lin Wanrong shook his head slowly: "This Tu Suozuo is not an idiot like Sheng Dan, he is extremely cautious. The formation of the camp is also very particular. The campfire is set up on the shore of the lake, but the tent is far away from the water. It is impossible to encircle. And there are hundreds of elite guards who are desperately guarding, as long as there is a slight disturbance, he can escape on horseback."

Xu Zhen carefully looked at Tu Suozuo's camp. Indeed, as Lin Wanrong said, the Turkic right king's move was indeed extraordinary. Their tents are well spaced, implying defensiveness. Hundreds of Turkic guards. He is also the elite of the elite Hu people. All of them are powerful and experienced in many battles. range of patrols. It has expanded to hundreds of feet around, and no matter which direction they attack from, they will be exposed under their noses. It may be difficult for them to stick to it, but it is not difficult for them to escape.

Xu Zhen sighed helplessly, with a sullen expression on his face. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder. Solemnly said: "Little Xu, you have to remember. Our goal is not just one Tu Suozuo, but the entire Turkic royal court! Capture Kizil. That is the most direct and powerful blow to the Hu people! As for Tu Suozuo and Zhao Kangning, there will be time to deal with them!"

Xu Zhen's expression was startled, and he nodded hurriedly: "The general is right, we should give up the small land at this time and grab the big land, that will be enjoyable."

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and laughed a few times. From the conversation between Zhao Kangning and Tu Suozuo, it was known that the 100,000 Hu people gathered around Kizil were about to rush to the front line of Helan Mountain. It seemed that Xu Zhiqing was indeed trying her best to attract the attention of the enemy and cooperate with Lin Wanrong's actions.

Climbing up to the shore, he gathered the men and horses and counted them, set up the secret sentry, and then hurried back.

Hu Bugui, Gao Chief, and Li Wuling were impatient to wait for the place, and when they saw them coming back, they surrounded them happily: "General Lin, is there any news ahead?!"

Lin Wanrong nodded, and told what he had seen and heard in the lake, and everyone was dumbfounded. Just one Zhao Kangning is mysterious enough, and with the addition of the full-fledged Turkic right king Tu Suozuo, General Lin stepped in, and the effect was really immediate.

"This bastard who sells his ancestors and seeks glory!" Gao Chief scolded angrily, and the target was Zhao Kangning, the former son of Prince Cheng.

Hu Bugui laughed and said, "To provoke the kings of the Turks, and even to persuade Tu Suozuo to stand on his own feet, the little prince really has some guts!"

Lin Wanrong sighed: "Needless to say Zhao Kangning, someone will take care of him sooner or later. I never thought that this Tu Suozuo would be so young, at the age of less than thirty, he would become the right king of Turkic with outstanding military exploits!"

Hu Bugui said in a deep voice: "Tusuozuo is absolutely not to be underestimated. He inherited his father's business at the age of thirteen, and in less than twenty years, he managed his tribe into one of the largest tribes in Turkic land. In the Northern War, he defeated Tie Le with the nine surnames five times. He was the greatest contributor to the Turks' unification of the grasslands. This man was extremely ambitious, determined, and handsome. Stand shoulder to shoulder with the old Badru. Although I have never fought against him directly, the reputation of the Turkic Right King has already been heard like thunder."

It turns out that Tu Suozuo has been fighting for nearly twenty years, which is more than twenty times as good as mine, ashamed, ashamed. Lin Wanrong laughed a few times: "Since Tu Suozuo is so powerful, why did the heavy task of attacking Helan Mountain fall on Badru?"

"This is the so-called Jiang is old and spicy. The Badru tribe is the first tribe of the Turks, and even Lu Dongzan is from this tribe. How could they let the military power fall? In order to attack Dahua, the Turks gathered all In terms of military strength, Tu Suozuo wants to hand over his most trusted tribal warriors to Commander Badru, do you think he can feel better? This battle between the left and right kings of the Turks is said to have started from Tu Suozuo’s father.”

No wonder Zhao Kangning dared to sow dissension with confidence. It turned out that there were so many tricks in it, and Tu Suozuo was indeed aggrieved. Lin Wanrong hummed, and suddenly said: "Brother Hu, have you seen Turkic Khan?!"

Hu Bugui shook his head and sighed: "The Turkic Khan is far away in Kizil, and we have never even entered the grassland before. How can we see the Turkic Khan? Not only me, but also Commander Li Tai, he and Hu Bugui I have fought all my life. I have never seen what Turkic Khan looks like. After all, how many people in Turkic have seen our emperor's appearance?"

Lao Hu's metaphor is downright interesting. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled: "So, we are very likely to be the first big Chinese to see the Turkic Khan?!"

Several people laughed out loud. There is some longing in my heart. This is no joke. Just take Kizil. Don't talk about looking at Turkic Khan, even capture him alive. Not impossible.

The Turks once sent Lu Dongzan as an envoy. Go to Dahua and ask Princess Nishang to marry her. Their khan should be forty or fifty years old if he thinks about it. Lin Wanrong shook his head. Seriously said: "According to the conversation between Tu Suozuo and Zhao Kangning, the 100,000 troops from the outskirts of Kizil will rush to the front line tomorrow. Then, how many troops will Lu Dongzan leave for the Turkic court?!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. this problem. I am afraid that only Lu Dongzan can answer. Hu Bugui is most familiar with the habits of the Turkic people. Consider it. He whispered: "Kizil is no different than other places. This is the royal court of the Turks. It is the top priority of the Hu people's guard. Although it is close to the Altai Mountain and has never been attacked, the Hu people will not take it lightly. Too slack. According to the general's estimate, Lu Dongzan will leave at least 10,000 goblin riders. Just in case. In addition to the city defense force, there should be more than 20,000 troops in Kizil."

Hu Bugui's estimation is reasonable. in a meadow. Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry are already an unstoppable force. Moreover, there are city defense forces. Coupled with the strong men in the city and the guards of the Turkic royal court. Definitely more than 20,000 people.

Use 5,000 troops to fight for 20,000 Turkic people. Or siege warfare. Any fool knows the difficulty of this matter. Even with the determination to die. You can't just die like this for nothing. Lin Wanrong frowned tightly.

Kizil battle. Perhaps it will be their last battle, and it will definitely be a battle that will go down in history. Regardless of the outcome of the outcome. These five thousand soldiers have all been engraved in the annals of history. But as the commander-in-chief in the game. In exchange for the greatest victory at the least cost. It will always be his responsibility.

Everyone gradually quieted down, watching Lin Wanrong silently. At such a critical moment. Every decision he makes. All will determine the fate of five thousand soldiers.

The atmosphere was quiet and somewhat depressing. Lin Wanrong took a few steps slowly. Suddenly stopped the pace. He raised his head and asked quickly, "Brother Hu, have you heard of the Sheep Picking Contest?!"

Sheep picking contest? Everyone was taken aback at the same time. Hu Bugui nodded hurriedly and said, "I have. I have. This is the most famous event on the grassland."

"Oh?" Lin Wanrong said excitedly: "This sheep. How is it picked?"

"The Goat Picking Contest in the Grassland. To put it bluntly, it's almost the same as our Dahua land competition to recruit relatives!"

"Martial arts competition to recruit relatives?! I like to hear this." Gao Chief's eyes lit up immediately, and he became very interested: "How can picking sheep and recruiting relatives be related together. Hurry up and say."

Old Hu nodded. He said with a smile, "Hu people's blind date customs are different from ours in Dahua. We pay attention to the orders of our parents and the words of matchmakers, but for Hu people, they advocate free communication. It is natural for men and women to meet and fall in love."

"This is not bad." Li Wuling clapped his hands hastily: "It's exactly what Big Brother Lin likes. He has a hundred blind dates. It can be a hundred and one."

Lin Wanrong rolled his eyes. Everyone laughed.

"This kind of free love is originally a good thing. But among the various Turkic tribes, there is an imbalance between men and women. And it is not easy to meet each other on the grassland. Therefore, the sheep gathering that was originally used to celebrate the harvest was changed to spring. Held, it became a blind date meeting for Hu people. At that time, unmarried women from various tribes on the grassland will go to watch the sheep picking meeting. Choose your sweetheart. Whether you are a prince, noble or common people, you can participate in this sheep picking competition. In order to ensure fairness and prevent subsequent persecution, the warriors participating in the sheep hunting must cover their heads and faces with a black cloth. Mark the number. The first to reach the destination with the sheep will be the local grassland warriors. The most distinguished status Girl, you can directly choose the most powerful warrior as your son-in-law."

Masked sheep? ! This is so exciting! Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "The Turkic people are really creative. It's not a sheep, it's a man."

While everyone was laughing, Hu Bugui was startled and said happily, "General, are you trying to use this goat competition?!"
