Chapter 173 The mantis stalks the cicada

"If I give it to you, can you let us go?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"You have no choice, Zhao Chen. That girl is quite beautiful. You have to know that all of my subordinates..." The Turkic leader looked at Li Ruoshuang with a look of greed on his face.

The other Turks also looked at Zhao Chen with jesting faces.

"I can give you things. They are the eldest sons of Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong. If you dare to touch us, even if you get the things, you will not be able to escape from the Tang Dynasty."

"Moreover, as long as you are of Turkic bloodline, you will definitely suffer the blow of extinction." Zhao Chen pointed at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu and said to the Turkic leader.

"Are you threatening me?" The Turkic leader looked gloomily and looked at Zhao Chen fiercely.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." Zhao Chen smiled.

The Turkic leader glanced at Zhao Chen and the others, his expressions ugly.

He was extremely annoyed when he learned the identities of the two people behind Zhao Chen.

If it were anyone else, he would be killed.

But if the descendants of the two princes killed them, it would be absolutely impossible for them to return to the Turks alive.

A man rode up behind him and said a few words in the Turkic leader's ear.

"Your Jieli Khan is still in Chang'an City. He took things and left. He can still survive and kill us. I can guarantee that Jieli Khan's head will hang on the city wall tonight." Zhao Chen He said with a smile.

The Turkic leader was silent for a moment, and then said coldly, "You have some courage, boy. Give me your things, otherwise I will kill you today."

Zhao Chen reached out and took out a small cloth bag from the pocket chain on the colt's belly.

"This is the seed, here it is for you." The little cloth bag was thrown towards the Turkic leader, and he caught it firmly.

Opening the small cloth bag, you can see that the rice seeds inside are plump and huge, which is really different from ordinary seeds.

The Turkic leader hid the small cloth bag and gave Zhao Chen a cold look.

Just as he turned the horse's head, he saw a hidden arrow shot from the forest behind him, piercing the Turkic leader's neck.

"Let's go!" Zhao Chen turned the horse's head, and Cheng Chumo pulled Qin Huaiyu up.

The two men and horses hurried towards Wannian County.

Li Ruoshuang rushed over, grabbed Zhao Chen's waist, and carried him over. The two of them rode the same horse.

The foal followed, trotting along with its hooves.

The shouts of death continued continuously behind them, and it wasn't until they had run a long way that they slowly stopped.

"Zhao Chen, how are you?" After several people dismounted, Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen and asked anxiously.

This place is not far from Wannian County, and further forward there is the Beiya Imperial Guard for defense.

Those people didn't dare to chase after him.

"It's okay." Zhao Chen waved his hands, breathing rapidly and looking pale.

"Would you like to drink some water first?" Li Ruoshuang handed over the kettle.

Zhao Chen waved his hand and stood there, holding the foal with one hand, panting like a cow.

Running around like this on horseback already made him out of breath.

"Xiao Qin, hurry up and go ahead and notify the Beiya Imperial Guards that there is a group of Turks ahead and have snatched the auspicious seeds." Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu said.

"I'll go right away." Qin Huaiyu got on the horse and ran towards Wannian County without stopping for a moment.

The auspicious seeds are of great importance, and the Turks must not be allowed to succeed.

After burning the incense, Zhao Chen's complexion slowly returned to rosy and his breathing calmed down.

"How do you feel?" Li Ruoshuang asked.

"It's okay." Zhao Chen said.

"It was too dangerous just now, how could you go there alone?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen, with panic still on his face.

"They are Turks. If I don't go, they won't let any of us go." Zhao Chen said.

"We can give them a try." Cheng Chumo said angrily.

"It's too dangerous. I won't let anything happen to you." Zhao Chen held the little boy's hand.

Foal, walk forward slowly.

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

A trace of emotion flashed across his face, but he instantly returned to his usual honest expression.

"Come on, you go up and rest, I'll do it." Cheng Chumo helped Zhao Chen get on the horse, held the reins himself, and walked forward slowly.

Li Ruoshuang led her horse and followed beside him.

For a long time, several people were silent.

"The Turks were tricked just now. It seems that they have been planning this for a long time. The tavern has been targeted, otherwise they would not know our actions so accurately." Zhao Chen said slowly.

"Is Uncle Fu in danger?" Li Ruoshuang looked shocked.

Uncle Fu is Zhao Chen's only relative. If something happens to him, then Zhao Chen...

"Not for the time being. The Turks may all be killed. It's hard to identify the mantis stalking the cicada." Zhao Chen shook his head.

Even if the Turks were not dead, Zhao Chen would still look for opportunities to deal with them.

What worries Zhao Chen even more is the person who just attacked the Turks.

They must be familiar with the Turks, that is to say, they also know that they have seeds.

If they value other things in the future, they will definitely find it in themselves again.

Zhao Chen never thought about being remembered by thieves.

"Xiao Qin is here with someone." Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen reminded.

Several people looked up and saw Qin Huaiyu running towards them in front of them. Behind him, there was a large group of soldiers from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army.

There were estimated to be three to four hundred people.

The leading general is a black-faced man.

"That's General Yuchi, Duke of Wu." Li Ruoshuang said.

"Brother, are you okay?" Qin Huaiyu jumped off the horse and asked.

"It's okay." Zhao Chen shook his head.

Yuchi Jingde got off his horse and was also shocked by Qin Huaiyu's news just now.

\u003e At noon, he received the emperor's order. If Zhao Chen goes to Wannian County, everything must be facilitated.

Although he didn't know what the emperor meant by this, Yuchi Jingde did not dare to violate it.

He was waiting for Zhao Chen to arrive, but Qin Huaiyu came to tell him that Zhao Chen and the others were almost killed by Turks on the road.

Even the auspicious seeds were snatched away.

The auspicious seed given to Zhao Chen by the emperor?

You have to grab it back quickly.

Yuchi Jingde hurried over with hundreds of people.

"Are you Zhao Chen?" Yuchi Jingde looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

Seeing Zhao Chen suddenly, Yuchi Jingde was also stunned for a moment.

This young man is clearly a replica of His Majesty when he was young.

Although the temperament is different, this appearance...

Could it be the illegitimate son His Majesty left behind?

Looking at his age, he seems to be about the same age as the prince, which shouldn't be the case!

Yuchi Jingde looked at Zhao Chen, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"I've seen General Yuchi. Those Turks in front may have been killed. Please ask General Yuchi to send someone to hunt down the murderers. Those grain seeds may have fallen into their hands." Zhao Chen held up his hands and said to Yuchi Jingde.

Yuchi Jingde waved his hand, and a deputy general led the people in the direction from which Zhao Chen and the others came.

"Go back to the camp first, and we'll wait for news." Yuchi Jingde said.

…

"Lord Lunqin, there is news that we have succeeded."

In the West Market, someone quickly came to Lun Qin's room and whispered.

"Where are the Turks?" Lun Qin asked.

"Kill them all, no one is left alive."

"Are there any traces left?" Lun Qin asked again.

"No."

"Okay, I ordered you to go down and hibernate first, and then leave the city after this matter has passed." Lun Qin said.
