Chapter 1190 New Destiny
It was dark on the prairie.

The group of people who had just set up camp and had a short rest got back on their horses and marched up the river.

Wang Mancang turned his head to look, and saw that walking side by side with him was the Mongolian boy Zhuolik who had been captured before.

In the slight setting sun, the child showed his broad forehead, his eyes were quite clean, his body was thin and his limbs were short and thin, but his riding skills were very good.

In fact, we have been together for a long time, but it was only today that Wang Mancang suddenly had a whim and asked, "How old are you?"

"Nine years old."

"Huh? I thought you were thirteen or fourteen years old."

"On the grassland, nine years old is already a man."

Wang Mancang sneered, disapproving.

After a while, he teased Zhuolik again and asked, "You lead us to find water every day. How does it feel to be a Mongolian traitor?"

Ahead, Wang Li turned his head and glanced at Wang Mancang with warning eyes.

Zhuo Like patted his chest and said: "On the grassland, only heroes are served, and the distribution of food and spoils is fair to you, so I will follow you!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wang Mancang laughed out loud at his words.

However, Wang Li put on a serious face again and reminded Wang Mancang: "Don't talk about 'Mongol traitors' anymore. Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered that Mongolia and Semu also belong to China..."

"I know, I know." Wang Mancang said: "It has been said many times in the army, I am just teasing this child."

"I'm not a child anymore." Drorick turned around and said.

"Hey, the combined age of the two of you is not as old as I am, and you are used to this kind of tone that teaches me how to speak."

Wang Mancang went immediately, stretched out his hand and patted Zhuo Like on the head, and said: "You are not a child, who is a child, I am older than your father."

Drorick touched his head, but said nothing.

He has learned Chinese in the past few months and knows that his father is Abu.

But he was very disappointed with the father who sold him and Erji, so he fell down.

Wang Mancang was always cheerful, humming a song to himself, and then raised his finger in the last twilight of the evening.

"what is that?"

……

Those were two groups of men and horses chasing, the fleeing party had seven or eight riders, and the chasing party had about fifty riders.

Maybe it was because they saw the dust and smoke rising from here earlier, the fleeing side ran towards Wang Li and Wang Mancang.

"Help us!" someone yelled in Mongolian.

Soon, a horse from behind caught up, opened his longbow, and shot an arrow, shooting the person who was asking for help off the horse.

"Killed Aslan."

"Friends in front, don't meddle in other people's business, we are robbing the bride, we have already killed the groom..."

Only when the shout came, Wang Mancang immediately moved.

"drive!"

As soon as he rode out on a flying horse, he galloped to the opposite side first.

The soldiers who originally belonged to Wang Mancang also patted their horses to keep up.

After wandering on this grassland for a long time, they became more and more unfettered.

Seeing this, Wang Li was angry and anxious, raised the binoculars and glanced around, and then ordered everyone to follow.

Gradually, women's cries and men's shouts could be heard from the front.

Wang Li lowered his body and galloped, squinting his eyes in the strong wind, and saw that Wang Mancang was leading people around behind the opponent, obviously wanting to surround the opponent and snatch the opponent's horse and belongings.

And the leader of the opponent was the big man who killed the groom with an arrow just now, and he was yelling sharply at this time.

"Where are the warriors from, make friends, I can treat you to drink wine. But if you want to be my enemy, my arrows will pierce through..."

"Whoosh!"

Wang Li first shot an arrow, pointing directly at the opponent's face.

At the same time, the sound of fighting has sounded around.

Wang Li didn't even look to see if the arrow hit the target, but lowered his head so that the helmet could protect his face, and continued to rush towards the opponent's direction.

With a sound of "ding", an arrow hit his head.

He didn't care, raised the long knife in his hand, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds.

Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes swept around like lightning, and saw the other party driving forward and slashing at him with a knife.

With a sound of "dang", he raised his knife to block it, and swung it with the momentum.

"puff!"

The young Mongolian youth who was still invincible just now was beheaded like this.

The surrounding Mongols were also shocked, pulling the reins and fleeing in all directions.

"Surround them!" Wang Li roared, commanding his cavalry to form a siege with Wang Mancang.

The grassland was wide open, so it was inevitable that more than a dozen riders fled away.

But they still snatched more than [-] war horses and some trophies.

The fighting subsided, and they lit a bonfire to count the spoils.

Wang Li stood by the bonfire and stuffed a piece of cheese into his mouth. When he looked up, he saw the soldiers bringing the robbed bride over.

In an instant, he froze there and forgot to chew the cheese in his mouth.

This year, he was at the age of the first love, when his eyes fell, what he saw was a lovely and pitiful beautiful girl, with tears in her eyes, looking at him timidly...

a long time.

Wang Li came back to his senses, swallowed everything in his mouth, and asked, "Are you Han? Can you speak Chinese?"

"I would say, I...my concubine's mother is Han, and after remarrying a Mongolian, I gave birth to a concubine."

"Your father is a Mongolian, it seems that your conversation is not very similar."

"The concubine has never met her biological father. Since childhood, she has followed her mother to her half-brother. The elder brother is a scholar who teaches the concubine etiquette."

"Oh."

Wang Li probably understood a little bit, and looked at the woman again, but suddenly he didn't know how to ask her a question.

Over there, Wang Mancang came over with a weird smile, glanced at the woman lightly, pulled Wang Li and walked aside.

"I have asked her people, and this time I got a big deal."

"what?"

"That's the half-sister of Li Dehui, Prime Minister of Anxi, Meng Yuan..."

Wang Mancang was halfway through the conversation, suddenly smiled, changed the subject, and said: "I said General Wang, she didn't recruit you, did she? Little girl, she has some scheming."

Wang Lidao: "I haven't asked in detail yet."

"I'm here to ask."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Mancang turned around, picked up a red-hot branch from the campfire, and stretched it straight in front of the woman.

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground, terrified.

"I ask a question, you answer." Wang Mancang said: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will burn a hole in your face."

"No...don't dare."

"What's your name?"

"Li Yuping."

"Didn't you say your biological father was Mongolian?"

"Yes...it's my half-brother's name for me."

"What's your brother's name?"

"Brother." Li Yuping bit her lip and replied, "Li Dehui."

"How did you come here?"

"I originally lived in Jinlianchuan with my elder brother. My elder brother was appointed as the king's minister. He promised to send someone to pick him up when the Xi'an Palace was completed. However, more than three months ago, someone said that after my elder brother was captured..."

As Li Yuping said, she glanced at these people secretly, and continued: "It is said that my brother has surrendered to Datang."

Wang Mancang and Wang Li looked at each other and asked, "When was Li Dehui captured?"

They were forced into the vast grassland, and it was rare to get such news.

Although Li Yuping didn't know much, when she told her all, they still managed to piece together the war that happened later.

In November last year, Li Xia defeated Mangge's army and captured Li Dehui; in February this year, the Tang army won a big victory in the battle of Helan Mountain...

"In April of this year, the news reached Kaiping. When my mother heard about my brother, she decided to take her family to Datang. We traveled westward for more than three months and arrived here, only to find out that the guide had sold us."

"what."

Wang Mancang sneered, and said: "What is surrendering to Datang? You are afraid of being implicated, and you don't believe that Li Dehui will surrender, so you want to ask Brother Mang for assassination."

Li Yuping was startled, kowtowed, and said, "Don't dare to lie to the general."

Wang Mancang thought for a while, put aside the burning branch, and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

The next moment, Wang Li pressed his hand and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"We fled in enemy territory, so it's inconvenient to take a woman with us."

"Didn't you listen to what she said? Her brother has already joined Datang."

"I only heard that her brother was captured, and may have been beheaded by His Majesty."

At this point in Wang Mancang's words, he suddenly asked, "Do you like it?"

"What?" Wang Li was startled.

Wang Mancang was already laughing, and said: "If you like it, then take it with you. What's the matter with being a man?"

"I do not……"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, just treat it as snatching a kiss."

Wang Mancang waved his hands, and sang a folk song casually.

"The friend my sister wanted to hold in my arms has gone over the mountains and gone, the friend my sister cried for has gone far away, my sister cried so much that my heart hurts, you should come to my arms and stop crying..."

~~
And in a tribe not far in front of them, Xiong Er, a thousand households of the Yuan Army, was sitting by the fire drinking.

Xiong Er was the general Qixue under Mange's command, and he was also the general who escorted Mange to the north of Yinshan Mountain to meet Kublai Khan.

After the poisonous soup happened, Zhang Hongfan said a few words to Xiong Er in private.

"I believe you have nothing to do with this matter, but it's not appropriate for you to continue to lead the troops to follow King Anxi. Why don't you lead the troops to pursue the remnants of the Tang army who dared to attack His Majesty, and wait until the truth about the poison soup case is found out..."

Today, Xiong'er has received news from Jiuyuan City that Princess Ye Rihan was killed and King Anxi fell ill.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Hongfan had known the truth for a long time, and he had been trying to evade King Anxi's military power for the past two or three months, but he actually did it.

However, the so-called "Marshal of the Mongolian and Han Army", Zhang Hongfan is only a young Han, and no matter how much he is trusted by the Great Khan, it is impossible for him to directly take charge of the battle along the way like the Mongolian Boyan.

Therefore, Zong Wang Tuohu is still the nominal commander, and Zhang Hongfan has to rely on Tuohu's identity to issue orders...

Just thinking about this, there was a sound of horseshoes ahead.

Xiong Er came back to his senses and guessed that the leader of the tribe had come back to snatch his relatives.

He had heard that the bride was very beautiful, and planned to see it for himself.

If it's really good, he doesn't mind snatching it from the tribal leader.

However, at this time, only a dozen or so people fled back in a panic, rushing to Xiong'er.

"Qianhu, the Tang army you want to find is right ahead!"
