Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, but now was not the time to deal with this matter, the Northern Frontier, Yunzhou City, there was still danger!!

Several hours passed.

Cheng Yaojin waited for the scouts to return and met Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde at the same time.

Three teams, assembled.

"This....Brother Qin, what's going on with Lao Hei? You...you also..."

Cheng Yaojin stared at the bloodthirsty Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, then looked at the Tang soldiers behind them, and was speechless.

Qin Qiong's journey was relatively better, but Yuchi Jingde's looked really miserable.

Yuchi Jingde squatted on the ground, his eyes full of blood and tears.

Qin Qiong swallowed and patted Yuchi Jingde's shoulder gently.

He smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice, "We were also ambushed. I was more cautious. Old Cheng, you should have received the news from Yunzhou City, right?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded.

"Ah... After I received the news, I became cautious. However, Lao Hei was too impatient and didn't control himself. He led the guards forward directly, and then... they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses."

"Then how did you break through?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.

"We have to thank a group of people wearing python robes. If it weren't for them, Lao Hei and I probably wouldn't have seen you. Yaojin, how did you break through?"

Qin Qiong looked into Cheng Yaojin's eyes.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned after hearing his words.

"West Factory?!"

He asked rhetorically.

But Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde were both shocked.

Even Yuchi Jingde stood up suddenly.

"The same to you?!"

The two of them were shocked.

It can be said that they screamed at the same time.

Can't believe it.

Hard to accept.

West Factory!

In that case, all three groups of people were rescued by the same force?
hiss…….
Immediately, the three of them took a deep breath.

You look at me, I look at you.

Speechless!

Speechless!

Choking!

Shocking, extremely!
West Factory!

this…….
So scary?
They were confused.

The three guards that were related to the life and death of the Tang Dynasty could be said to have carried the hopes of Chang'an, the whole world, and the entire court when they set out.

Then, almost simultaneously, they were ambushed.

Then, he was rescued by the same force!
hiss…….
call…….
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde remained silent for a long time.

burst.

Crazy.

"Who... who are these people?" Qin Qiong's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know. Moreover, they are wearing dragon robes. They... they... could it be that they are the military commanders of some prince? Or secret assassins secretly trained by someone?" Yuchi Jingde guessed.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the two of them and shook his head.

"No, no, no, no, how is this possible? Prince... Look at the princes now. How old is our Tang Tang prince?"

"Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot possess such a terrifying army of assassins. Moreover, the combat power of these assassins is far beyond the cohesion of our Nine Guards Army."

"How many people did they send out this time? Only a few thousand people. And they resisted the terrifying Turks, helped us solve the life-and-death situation, and let us survive."

Cheng Yaojin spoke in a deep voice, not believing what they said.

Indeed, this matter is too outrageous.

Even the imperial court does not have such a force, so who else can train such terrifying assassins?
joke!

Aristocratic family?

Maybe they can barely be counted as one, but if they are aristocratic families, they will definitely not come to help me.

Don't add insult to injury. I'm already doing great things for you.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde all understood this very well.

"That……."

Qin Qiong knew very well that what Cheng Yaojin said was absolutely correct.

The princes nowadays are all too young.

Even Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian, a king who guards a region, could never cultivate such terrifying combat power.

The three of them were also very clear about this.

There is no other reason. The King of Hejian and his men are old and simply do not have the energy to do so.

The three of them fell into silence again.

Who is that!?
After a long while, Qin Qiong moved his stiff neck and slowly said, "Then...should we tell His Majesty about the three armies? Send it back to Chang'an?"

"pass!"

Before Yuchi Jingde could speak, Cheng Yaojin nodded heavily.

His eyes are somewhat sharp.

"Although we suffered heavy losses in this matter, it doesn't mean we can't keep it secret. Although we were ambushed, we also exposed too many problems."

"For example, how did the Turks know our marching route and wait for us on the road so early? This marching route can be said to be known only by your majesty and a few people like us."

"Of course, the most important point is the existence of the group of people in python robes. We don't know whether they are friends or enemies. We must report this to His Majesty so that His Majesty can make plans early. Huh..."

Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice and let out a long breath.

Although the West Factory saved them, what was the West Factory? They didn't even know how to write the word.

Can't hide it!

The report must be completed and submitted!
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde thought deeply for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yaojin, what you said is correct.

Immediately, the three of them called for scouts.

At the same time, he organized all the deputy generals and began to discuss how to break through the encirclement of the Turks.

That’s right, although the Turks did not completely wipe out the Tang Dynasty’s guards, they did achieve very successful results.

but!
They also knew that the Turks had not left!
They might be right in front of us, staring at us eagerly.

It’s difficult to get through this area!
In the next few days, they tried more than ten methods, but in the end, none of them succeeded.

The Turks firmly guarded the dangerous area.

Every time they tried to break out, the Tang Dynasty guards could only retreat in embarrassment and were completely unable to overcome the Turkic defense line.

Unrest was brewing among the incomplete army of the Nine Guards.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde became more and more annoyed.

damn it!
Having been delayed by the Turks for several days, Yunzhou City has long been in a state of emergency. Now, can they still hold on?
This is a big problem!

There is one more thing they are all sure of.

That is, if he didn't move forward, Yunzhou City would definitely collapse.
.
…….………….
Northern Xinjiang.

Yunzhou City.

The Turks retreated after another attack.

Yunzhou City once again won a defensive victory.

However, the people in the city still had pale faces. A large number of wounded were carried down, and the whole city seemed to be filled with roars.

Li Ji sat in the lobby, looking at the map in front of him, calculating the marching speed of Cheng Yaojin and his men, his brows growing heavier.

Logically, reinforcements should have arrived three days ago.

But how many days has it been?!

Not to mention seeing anyone, I couldn't even receive a single message.

There was no news from the scouts he sent out, and they didn't make any splash at all. They went out and never came back.

Li Ji couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Could it be that something unexpected happened to the reinforcements? !

Or did the reinforcements take a detour for safety? !
Li Ji's throat was dry and his lips were cracked. No matter which of these possibilities it was, it was torture for him, for Yunzhou City, and for the hundreds of thousands of residents in Yunzhou City!
He kept saying that reinforcements were coming.

But now, there is not even a shadow to be seen.

hiss…….
Li Ji was already feeling ashamed to face his soldiers.

He felt sad when he saw the soldiers holding on and defending Yunzhou City with all their might.

The soldiers in Yunzhou City were almost reaching their limit in energy, and some of them could no longer hold on.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Li Ji's eyes were gloomy, and his hands suddenly clenched and slammed hard on the table.

"General, General, General!!"

"There are scouts outside. They are sent by General Cheng and his men."

At this time, the deputy general rushed in hurriedly and panicked.

The armor on his body was covered with scratches and gaps.

Hearing this, Li Ji's eyes suddenly widened.

"quick!"

He almost yelled.

"Please come in!!"

"Please come in quickly!!"

Li Ji repeated it again.

As he spoke, his figure had already rushed out several feet away.

Outside the lobby, a scout could be said to be on his deathbed, breathing in but not out.

But his eyes were wide open, almost bloodshot.

His hand was tightly clenching a bamboo tube.

"General Li... Li... Li."

"This is... this is a letter from my General Cheng, addressed to... to you..."

"puff……."

The scout used up all his strength to say these two short sentences.

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The breath stopped.

But the eyes that were open just now closed, and closed peacefully.

mission completed!

This was the last belief in his heart, which had been supporting him all along. Now, he was finally... relieved!
Li Ji's pupils were as fierce as a tiger's, and his eyes were glaring.

He knew that Cheng Yaojin and his men must have run into trouble, big trouble! !
"Write down his name, bury him, and present it to the emperor when we return to Chang'an!"

Li Ji suppressed his grief and anger and shouted.

The deputy general responded hastily, called several people over, and took the scout away.

Li Ji suddenly opened the bamboo tube.

This bamboo tube is very slippery.

Because the blood on it was almost coated in a thick layer.

Li Ji could feel the warmth in the palm of his hand.

The signal valve in the bamboo tube is still well preserved.

take out.

turn on.

When Li Ji saw the contents of the letter, his heart was about to burst out.

this…….
hiss…….
call…….
The chest rises and falls extremely.

Breathing is like a bronze bell.

Bones, creaking.

The three armies all fell into the ambush set by the Turks in advance and suffered heavy losses. Now, they have not yet broken through and successfully created a gap.

The road between Chang'an and the northern border was blocked by the Turks.

There were very few words, but the content was so shocking that Li Ji felt like he was struck by lightning.

How to do?
What should I do!

Reinforcements, gone?
Do not!
Have!
But he was trapped in a very far place and could not be relied upon. Then, he would have to face the Turks who were like mad dogs.

Yunzhou City!
Yunzhou City!
Yunzhou City!
Can we still hold on?

The Turks must have known that they had successfully intercepted the Chang'an support army, so they would certainly launch a crazy and fierce attack and capture Yunzhou City in one fell swoop.

"damn it!!"

Li Ji was furious, and all the strength in his body seemed to be washed away.

He kept insisting that he believed in reinforcements, but the reinforcements would not arrive for a while, so what should he do with Yunzhou City?
What about those isolated fortress islands that are holding on, struggling to hold on, hoping that someone will come to pick them up?
Li Ji panicked.

He admitted that he was a little panicked at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on the letter valve.

Open.

There are some more words behind it.

Li Ji looked over hurriedly.

"In the northern border, there is a mysterious force called the West Factory. All its members wear python robes and carry goose-wing swords on their waists. If it weren't for the West Factory, our three armies would have been completely swallowed up by the Turks."

"......."

Li Ji read it silently and was shocked beyond words.

West Factory?

What is this again?
Wearing a dragon robe?

This is overstepping!!
Dragon robe, can you just wear it? Even an ordinary prince is not qualified to wear a dragon robe! !

This group of people were all wearing dragon robes.

Not only that, but only a few thousand people were dispatched to end the danger of the entire army and tore a hole in the Turkic army numbering tens of thousands.

How can it be!

What happened there?
It looks like a myth.

Li Ji was stunned.

But soon, an urgent voice pulled him out of his shock.

"General, the Turks are attacking again!"

Li Ji felt a chill in his heart. He took a deep breath, quickly put the note on his chest, and rushed towards the city wall.

…….…….…….
Turkic tent.

Jie Li Khan stood on the watchtower, looking at the situation under Yunzhou city in the distance, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Although we didn't completely wipe out the Tang reinforcements this time, we did greatly deplete their strength and trapped them halfway."

"Hahaha... God is really helping me! It's just right. We can hold them back until we take down Yunzhou City, and then we can finish off those Tang Dynasty guards!"

"It's so exciting! Chang'an is just around the corner. This Yunzhou City is already at the end of its rope!"

Jieli Khan shouted.

I felt his blood boiling, his hair breathing, and his bones gushing with excitement all over his body.

Tuli Khan nodded easily.

With his hands on his lower abdomen, he looked ahead leisurely.

"Yes, Khan. The Tang Dynasty will not last long. However, I have investigated the so-called Western Factory for so many days and have not found any clues."

When Tuli Khan mentioned this, his brows slightly frowned, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as at the beginning.

Jie Li Khan turned around and glanced at him.

He waved his hand disapprovingly.

"Tuli, don't be so nervous. West Factory? Haha... This reminds me of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun."

Jie Li Khan narrowed his eyes.

When Tuli heard the name, he shuddered, but the next moment he actually laughed and was no longer nervous.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were once famous throughout the world.
