Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 839
Wushihai is located two hundred miles to the west of Dashicheng, in the vast Gobi, and the terrain is flat.

Dust heads rose in the distance, and the marriage-granting mission escorted by the Youweiwei army slowly came.

Walking under the banner of the former military governor are the Marriage Envoy Qianniuwei General Li Yuanfang, Deputy Envoy Zeng Tai, Right Weiwei General Wang Xiaojie and Wang Mang.

Just in case, Wang Mang naturally followed.

Under the huge flag of the Chinese army is the guard of honor and the princess Luan, who are closely guarded by Qianniuwei.

Princess Wu Yuanmin sat in the luan, looking out at the rolling yellow sand and the boundless Gobi, thinking that she would live in a foreign land in this life, she couldn't help feeling sad, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Chunhong on the side comforted: "Princess, don't cry, Chunhong will always be by your side..."

As she spoke, she also began to cry.

The army had already reached the edge of Wushihai, Wang Xiaojie raised his right hand high, and the army stopped advancing. He steered his horse and came in front of Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai and said, "This is the west side of Wushihai, further ahead is the buffer zone. This land is gone, the army can't go any further, Yuan Fang, Brother Zeng, Jing Yang, Xiaojie can only be sent here!"

Li Yuanfang nodded, and asked Zeng Tai, "The welcoming team sent by Ji Li Khan hasn't arrived yet?"

Zeng Tai shook his head: "Wait a little longer, it should be soon."

Wang Mang said: "Yuan Fang, we must make a decisive decision. He Lu and the others will never give up."

"kindness!"

"Jing Yang, you have said this several times, but we have a large army, and we dare not come even if we count them."

Zeng Tai and Wang Xiaojie didn't care.

Wang Mang didn't speak, but took out something like a compass and fiddled with it in his hand.

Suddenly, a group of Turkic cavalry galloped towards Wushihai in the distance.

Zeng Tai excitedly said, "Look, they're here!"

Wang Mang looked up, and sure enough, he came.

In a blink of an eye, the cavalry was approaching, and the leader captain reined in his horse and asked, "Excuse me, is it Princess Yingyang's ride?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Exactly."

The captain said, "Are you the Marriage Envoy, General Li?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "It's a certain family."

With a wave of the captain's hand, all the cavalry rolled off their horses and knelt on one knee and said, "I'm here to meet the mission at the order of Ji Li Khan!"

Li Yuanfang let out a long breath and said with a smile, "General, please get up."

The captain stood up and said: "His Majesty Ji Li Khan has led the main force of the Tiger Division to wait for Princess Luan to drive at the west end of Wushihai Sea!"

Li Yuanfang waved his hand and said, "Very good. General, please lead the way."

The captain bowed and said, "Yes!"

With a wave of his hand, everyone got on their horses.

Li Yuanfang whispered a few words to the herald beside him, the herald agreed loudly, and galloped back on his horse.

In a short time, the trumpet was blowing, and the drums were playing loudly.

The mission broke away from the main army, and under the guidance of Bu Hou, continued to march westward to the Wushi Sea.

Li Yuanfang, Wang Mang and Zeng Tai cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Xiaojie, to send you off, and I will bid farewell!"

Wang Xiaojie returned the courtesy and said: "Xiaojie stands at Xiongguan Pass, waiting for the good news! Have a good trip!"

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai bowed their hands together and steered their horses towards the mission.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Wang Xiaojie let out a long breath.

Ji Li Khan led the front army of the Tiger Division to wait at the west end of Wushihai.

Ji Li looked at the sky, and said to Bu Shan beside him, "The welcoming team sent out should have received the mission."

Bu Shan nodded: "Yes, I think the mission may have just entered Wushihai, and it only takes two hours to reach the [-]-mile journey. Khan can rest assured."

Ji Li Khan smiled and nodded, "Finally they are here."

He turned his horse's head and said to Master Tiger behind him, "Form up immediately and get ready to welcome Princess Luan!"

General Hu Master waved the command flag in his palm, and the army burst into drums and horns, and the army slowly mobilized.

A smile appeared on Ji Li Khan's face.

Vultures circled the sky.

On the Gobi, the blood-stained sand and stones and piles of white bones reflect a strange light under the white sunlight.

Under the guidance of the Turkic welcoming team, the mission marched slowly in the vast Gobi.

Suddenly, Wang Mang rode his horse and came to Li Yuanfang's side: "Brother Yuanfang, the wedding party is wrong."

"what happened?"

Li Yuanfang was full of doubts.

Wang Mang came to Li Yuanfang with a compass: "Look, we were heading west before, but Xianzun we were heading north, not west!"

"what?"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback.

"You mean?"

Li Yuanfang quickly reacted.

"Yes, the welcoming team is not an auspicious person."

"Fortunately, I only walked a mile, so turn around immediately!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang quickly made a plan.

At this moment, Wang Mang rode his horse to the captain, and pretended to ask, "Are we heading west now?"

The captain replied: "Yes!"

Wang Mang asked with a half-smile, "Then why is the sun behind us?"

The captain was taken aback, raised his head and said, "Ah, this general, I'm afraid you have turned your head a little bit. Look, the sun is on our side!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Oh, maybe. Did Jili Khan come in person?"

The captain looked nervous, coughed lightly, and said, "Ah, yes, he came in person, with the main force of the Tiger Division, waiting for you at the west end of Wushihai!"

Wang Mang asked again: "Are you the personal guards of Ji Li Khan?"

The captain paused and said, "Ah, yes!"

Wang Mang asked, "What's the name of your captain?"

The captain's face suddenly changed: "Ah, our captain, captain..."

Wang Mang looked at him and said coldly, "Call him He Lu!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The captain trembled all over and said, "I don't understand what this general said!"

Wang Mang sneered and said, "Where does He Lu want you to take us?"

Suddenly, the captain drew out his scimitar and shouted to his followers in Turkic: "Do it!"

Before the words fell, a cold light flashed, Wang Mang had already made a move, the long sword passed by like lightning, and the captain's head flew straight out with a bloody arrow.

Li Yuanfang who was behind shouted loudly, and led all the guards to charge forward on horseback. In an instant, several Turkic cavalrymen were decapitated and their bodies fell off the horses.

Zeng Tai led his people to arrive on flying horses, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he was shocked and said: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, this is..."

Wang Mang said, "They are He Lu's subordinates!"

Zeng Tai exclaimed: "What, he's from He Lu?!"

Li Yuanfang looked around, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zeng, You Zelihui is right, they really have a conspiracy. You immediately send an order to send the mission back the same way!"

When Zeng Tai heard the words, he hurriedly rode his horse towards the Chinese army.

Li Yuanfang said to Zhang Huan again: "Although I walked a mile just now and didn't reach their encirclement, just in case, the guards were transferred in place, and the rear team changed to the front team. You are the forward, and Jing Yang and I come to the rear!"

Zhang Huan said: "Yes!"

Soon, the back team became the front team and returned to the original place.

It was almost dusk, and the sky gradually darkened.

Ji Li Khan led the tiger division and waited anxiously at the west end of Wushihai.

Ji Li set up a pergola and looked into the distance.

It was still quiet in the vast Gobi, without the slightest movement.

Ji Li Khan took a deep breath and said, "Why is there still no movement, is something wrong?"

Bu Shan on the side said: "The vicinity of Wushihai has always been calm. Khan sent a welcoming team to meet them again, and there should be nothing wrong."

Ji Li worried: "The second team has been walking for nearly two hours, how come there is no turning around?"

Before the words were finished, Master Hu behind him pointed Jie Lidian forward: "Your Majesty Khan, look!"

Ji Li looked up and saw dust and smoke rising in the distance, and a group of Turks rushed back.

Ji Li Khan galloped forward and said, "How is it? Did you receive the mission?"

Scolding the captain, his face was full of sweat, and he said out of breath: "Your Majesty Khan, the wedding party we sent was robbed and killed in Wushihai!"

Ji Li Khan exclaimed in shock: "What, the wedding party was robbed and killed?"

The captain said, "Exactly!"

Ji Li Khan asked anxiously: "Where is the mission, where is the mission?"

The captain replied: "No trace of the mission was found!"

Ji Li Khan took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "What's going on, what's going on?"

Bushan said, "Khan, what should we do now?"

Ji Li Khan pondered for a moment and said: "Jia Lidian, immediately send three rebuke squads into Wushihai to find the whereabouts of the mission separately!"

As soon as the words fell, a scout ran over: "Khan, the mission has arrived!"

"what?"

Ji Li Khan was overjoyed.

"Jili Khan, long time no see!"

The voices of Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang came from afar.

"Two good brothers, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

While Ji Li Khan was overjoyed, he was also a little puzzled.

Soon, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang told Ji Li Khan what happened.

Wang Mang said: "Khan, they must be in ambush in the north, and the most urgent thing is to counter the encirclement."

Ji Li is not stupid, and immediately understood Wang Mang's meaning: "Yes, yes, Brother Jing Yang is right! Jie Lidian, send Tiger Division to go north immediately!"
