Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 387 The most critical step

The two crouched in the grass, watching the situation in the Turkic camp from a distance.

"How can we let Sahela appear in front of Tumen Khan without being known by the First Prince?" Shen Xinniang asked in a low voice.

Chu Yun squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the situation in the tent in the distance, "Miss, did you see that they are preparing horses, bows and arrows, what a coincidence we came here."

"Huh?" Shen Xinniang's eyesight is very good, even if she is far away, she can see the situation in the camp clearly, "Are they going to sneak attack the Northwest Army?"

Chu Yun shook her head, "No, Tumen Khan likes to hunt. Today's weather is very good, so he must go out to hunt again! And when he hunts, the tents are usually reserved for the eldest prince to garrison."

Shen Xinniang snorted, no wonder he said they were lucky, "Then today is a chance?"

Chu Yun was about to nod, but she narrowed her eyes, "Is that the eldest prince?"

Shen Xinniang followed his gaze and saw a tall and strong man in armor, with his face sideways, talking and laughing at someone.

"Why does the First Prince have the equipment to go out? Does he want to hunt with Khan?" Chu Yun said to herself.

Shen Xinniang took a deep breath silently. If today was not an opportunity, she would have to delay it. Day by day, it seemed like torture. He closed his eyes and looked intently again.

"Khan is out!" Chu Yun reminded in a low voice.

Shen Xinniang squinted her eyes immediately.

Sure enough, he saw a tall and burly middle-aged man coming out of a row of tents. His clothes were not as bright and dazzling as Emperor Liang's dragon robe. It's not big, but above the temperament, it's very different.It was so far away that the facial features could hardly be seen clearly, but the condensed and majestic aura around him was not affected by the distance and could be clearly felt.

The eldest prince got on his horse along with Khan, everyone prepared their bows and arrows, and a group of men were all very imposing, driving their horses outside the tent, yelling slogans that Shen Xinniang couldn't understand, and then they rode their horses and ran towards the grassland in the distance .

Chu Yun lowered her head in the grass and backed away quietly. Seeing that Shen Xiniang was lying still, she called out to her, "Miss, let's get on the horse and chase after him too? Although the eldest prince is also traveling with him, he can always find that the father and son are not together." when……"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Xinniang squinting her eyes, staring closely at the First Prince's horse, muttering something, but she couldn't make out what she was saying.

"My lady..." Before he could finish his second sentence, he was surprised to see that the First Prince's horse seemed to have tripped over something on its front leg, and it suddenly fell forward.

The eldest prince was also thrown out by the tripped horse.

The eldest prince reacted very quickly, took advantage of the situation and rolled on the ground twice, turned over and stood up, seemingly uninjured.

The whole group stopped, even Tumen Khan turned his horse around and came back, looking at the First Prince's horse, muttering something.

It seemed that it was not good for the eldest prince to go out, which made Tumen Khan a little displeased, but he checked the horse and checked the surroundings, and found nothing wrong. Back to the camp.

The eldest prince seemed to still want to win over his colleagues, but Tumen Khan didn't leave him room for negotiation, and immediately asked people to set off again.

The First Prince had no choice but to return to the camp surrounded by his followers.

Chu Yun stared at Shen Xiniang with wide eyes. If he believed that all this was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with the young and beautiful girl in front of him, then his brain must have been left in the camp and not brought out!

When Shen Xinniang bowed her body and backed away, he was still in a daze and couldn't recover.

"Go quickly." Shen Xinniang urged him, and then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly retreated on his knees.

The two got on their horses, led the way by the peregrine falcon flying in the sky, and chased to the hunting place of Tumen Khan.

When the sound of hunting could be heard in the distance, Shen Xiniang got off the horse and pasted a talisman on herself and Chu Yun.

"What is this for?" Chu Yun didn't know why.

Shen Xinniang simply explained: "It can hide the breath and is not easy to be discovered."

Leaving their horses behind, the two approached on foot, attracting the peregrine falcon in the air, holding Shen Xiniang in her arms.

Tumen Khan's guards rode horses and drove out the prey around the grassland. Tumen Khan waited for the prey to appear panicked under his arrows.

There are not many places to hide here. It is very difficult for Shen Xiniang and Chu Yun to avoid Tumen Khan's guards and get close to Tumen Khan without being discovered.

They were still far away, and they could only vaguely see the figure of Tumen Khan on the horse, so Chu Yun blocked Shen Xinniang's way, "We can't get any closer, let him go."

He pointed to the peregrine falcon in Shen Xiniang's arms.

Shen Xinniang frowned slightly, "It's too far away, we can't guarantee that the peregrine falcon will not be injured by them, I think Khan's arrow skills are very good, if he shoots this bird..."

The bird already has spirituality, and it is one thing not to bear its injury.More importantly, if the bird was injured, the letter would no longer be delivered to the First Prince. If the First Prince hadn't gotten complacent and acted rashly, he wouldn't have allowed Tumen Khan to give up on him and become angry with him.If the father and son do not turn against each other, the subsequent plans cannot be carried out smoothly.

Chu Yun shook her head, "Don't worry, they generally don't hunt peregrine falcons, peregrine falcons and eagles. If they want to domesticate, they will capture them alive. Peregrine falcons and eagles are even called divine birds."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Are you sure?"

"Don't worry, lady!" Chu Yun smiled, and wanted to take the peregrine falcon from Shen Xiniang's arms.

The peregrine falcon flapped its wings to prevent him from touching it.

Shen Xinniang lowered her head and whispered a few words next to Peregrine Falcon's little head.

Chu Yun wanted to laugh but held back, "It's just a bird. Even if it can send letters, it's just a domesticated bird. No matter how smart it is, it can't understand human language! And it was tamed by the Turkic people. Could it be my lady?" Do you expect her to understand Daliang's language?"

Shen Xinniang ignored Chu Yun's ridicule, raised her hand and let the peregrine fly away. The peregrine flew high, and after circling in the sky, it suddenly swooped down.

Chu Yun kept staring at the peregrine falcon. Although there was a teasing smile on his face, his heart was actually very nervous. He also pinched a small iron piece in his hand.Just in case the bird did not fly to the Khan as expected, but to the camp, to the First Prince, he would shoot the bird down.

He is still very confident in his hidden weapon skills, more confident than the bird.

The peregrine falcon saw the target clearly and swooped down from high altitude.

Tumen Khan seemed to have sensed the abnormality, and immediately raised his head, and the bow and arrow in his hand was full immediately, and the bird rushed towards him towards the sky.

Shen Xinniang felt nervous, "Didn't you say they won't shoot peregrine falcons?!"

Chu Yun was too nervous to speak.

Even if they were far away, they could clearly see that Tumen Khan's sharp arrow pointing at the peregrine falcon in the sky.

But the bird retracted its wings suddenly, as if it had fallen headlong, and hit Tumen Khan's mount all at once, then fell to the ground again.

Tumen Khan's arrow did not shoot out, and the guards around him who protected him also did not shoot arrows.

Shen Xinniang breathed a sigh of relief.Chu Yun also wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Let me tell you, god birds, they won't hunt and kill them."

Shen Xinniang pursed her lips, staring closely at Tumen Khan and did not dare to relax.Now is only the first step, discovering the secret letter is the key step!
The guards beside Tumen Khan stepped forward, picked up the peregrine falcon that fell on the ground, and said something with a smile. Suddenly, a guard stepped forward, pointed at the peregrine falcon and said a few words with a very serious face.

At this moment, even Tumen Khan's face became serious.

It was too far away, even Chu Yun, who was familiar with Turkic dialect, couldn't understand what they said, but looking at the faces of everyone, it was not difficult to guess that someone must have recognized the peregrine falcon as a bird domesticated by the First Prince.

Khan Tumen had the bird delivered to him. He checked the two legs of the peregrine himself and found the thin bamboo tube.

Only then did Shen Xinniang let out a long breath.

Chu Yun was already overjoyed, "I really misunderstood my lady earlier! Once this major event is completed, the first prince can no longer threaten the second prince! The first prince is cruel and easy to kill, and he is very happy. General Yu said that he doesn't think war is addictive. , Seeing soldiers fall beside him, the pain in his heart is indescribable. But war can make the eldest prince addicted, the eldest prince is warlike, bloody, and fighting...so..."

"It's not finished yet, you don't have to be happy so early." Shen Xinniang squinted her eyes, continued to watch the situation of Tumen Khan, and calmly interrupted Chu Yun's excitement.

Chu Yun couldn't help frowning, "Khan discovered the secret letter, and also knew that the peregrine falcon belonged to the First Prince. The matter has already been settled!"

Shen Xinniang gave him a cold look, "But the latter half is the most critical half! What if things don't develop as the second prince imagined?"

Only then did Chu Yun stop, her lips were tightly pursed into a line, put away her previous excitement, and lay down nervously on the ground, watching Tumen Khan's reaction.

Tumen Khan held the thin bamboo tube in his hand and looked around. When his eyes swept over the hiding place of Shen Xiniang and Chu Yun, he seemed to stop for a moment.

Chu Yun was a little nervous, "Shall we leave?"

"Don't move." Shen Xinniang said coldly.

"The Khan may have found out..."

"No, don't move." Shen Xinniang was calm like a little lady.

Chu Yun secretly looked at her sideways, and even had some doubts in her heart. Is this really a little lady?Look at her weird kung fu, sharp posture, and such a calm and composed demeanor at this moment, how does she look like a woman in the inner house, a young lady?He clearly looks like a wise old man who has experienced too many trials and tribulations in the world and the turbulence of life.
