Li Yunhao led 200 cavalrymen to hunt until it was dark before returning to Jade Gate Pass.
The prey caught in the afternoon was more abundant than in the morning, with more than 60 pheasants and hares.
Li Yunhao heard the roar of a falcon in the sky.
"That falcon has been following us since this afternoon.”
The lieutenant followed Li Yunhao's gaze and looked up at the falcon hovering above Jade Gate Pass.
"Very few people in the Great Tang domesticate falcons, unless they are foreigners. The falcon in the sky has a green ring on its foot.”
Li Yunhao drew his bow and shot an arrow.”
Whoosh ~
The arrow in Li Yunhao's hand shot through the air and pierced through the falcon's wing.
The lieutenant and the soldiers clapped and cheered.
"Lord Prefect's archery skills are superb. Even a falcon five hundred meters in the air could be shot down by your superb archery skills.”
"Lord Prefect, please teach us archery when you have the time. The posture you used to draw the bow just now was really handsome.”
"To be able to admire the scene of the Governor shooting an eagle is really a blessing of three lifetimes, a blessing that has been cultivated for thousands of generations…"
" If the soldiers had one ten-thousandth of your archery skills, wiping out the foreign races in the desert would be as easy as drinking water…"
The soldiers were not stingy with their flattery, and each of them gave him a thumbs up.
Li Yunhao coughed lightly." Go to the city wall and repeat the praise 100 times loudly. Make sure your voice is loud. Those who haven't finished shouting won't have dinner tonight."”
The lieutenant was speechless.
The soldier was speechless.
The 200 soldiers obediently ran to the city wall and loudly praised Li Yunhao's superb archery skills...
The falcon that was shot by the arrow fell from the sky. It flapped its wings twice and stood on the ground, using its beak to pick up the letter ring on its ankle.
Li Yunhao saw a small piece of red silk with words written on it in Falcon's envelope.
It was obvious that the beautiful handwriting was written by a woman. Three days later, the Turks attacked the Jade Gate Pass.
Li Yunhao drove the falcon away. The slightly injured falcon flapped its wings and flew into the sky again, flying east.
The lieutenant wanted to catch the falcon." Why did the prefect let the falcon go? Stewing it can be an extra meal tonight."”
Li Yunhao handed the silk letter to the lieutenant.""Falcon sent us a message. The Turks will attack Jade Gate Pass in three days.”
"Can our city walls resist the Turkic cavalry?" the lieutenant asked nervously.”
"Jade Gate Pass is just a small city," Li Yunhao said disdainfully."The Turks won't send an army over."”
"If the Turks sent a small army from the east, wouldn't they be wiped out by the 30,000 soldiers stationed by Zhao Zheng?" The lieutenant sighed in relief.”
Li Yunhao shook his head. His opinion was exactly the opposite of the lieutenant's.
"Falcon's return to the northwest means that the Turks will attack from the northwest, and Chai Shao will work with the Turks to attack Jade Gate Pass.”
The lieutenant refuted Li Yunhao." Chai Shao is the Duke of Huo. It's impossible for him to cooperate with the Turks. This is a capital crime of treason."”
Li Yunhao looked at the military camp stationed 800 meters away from Jade Gate Pass.
"The Imperial Court can't interfere with the struggles between the forces of our frontier fortress. Jade Gate Pass is high and the Emperor is far away. No one will spread the news of Chai Shao's secret cooperation with the Turks.”
The lieutenant wanted to say something else.
Li Yunhao interrupted him,"Chai Shao couldn't marry Princess Ping Yang.”
The lieutenant was speechless.
The hatred of stealing his wife was indeed irreconcilable. The lieutenant believed that no man could tolerate it.
Moreover, everyone knew that Princess Ping Yang was betrothed to Chai Shao and Li Yunhao beat her to it.
Li Yunhao ordered the lieutenant," Find 20 strong Kunlun slaves. The darker the skin, the better. I'll go to Chai Shao's camp in the dark tonight."”
The lieutenant had a bad premonition.”
"If Chai Shao dares to collude with the Turks, I'll kill him." Li Yunhao replied viciously.”
The commandant understood that this was a matter of life and death at Jade Gate Pass. He followed Li Yunhao's request and selected dark-skinned Kunlun slaves and painted their teeth with black paint.
Half an hour later, the Kunlun slaves followed behind Li Yunhao and sneaked into Chai Shao's camp to hide behind the hill.
The night sky was covered in dark clouds, and the ground was pitch-black.
Chai Shao's camp was lit by a few fires, and most of the tents were pitch black.
There were more than one thousand Turkic soldiers in the camp. Li Yunhao's guess was correct. Chai Shao had already reached an agreement with the Turks.
What he needed to do now was to kill Chai Shao. At that time, the 20,000 Han soldiers would fall into Zhao Zheng's arms.
If Zhao Zheng was working with the Turks, then he would be killed as well.
The leaderless 50,000-strong Han army would be in Li Yunhao's hands sooner or later.
Li Yunhao carefully opened a military tent lit with candles.
In the military camp, only the tent where the general lived would be luxuriously lit with candles.
There was a person sleeping on the bed with a blanket over him. He had already finished half of a bowl of shredded meat soup on the table beside him.
Li Yunhao pulled out his dagger and prepared to stab the person sleeping on the bed to death.
As he approached the bed, he smelled the fragrance of roses."Could it be that Chai Shao used flower petals to bathe?"
Li Yunhao gently lifted the blanket and saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed, exuding the fragrance of roses.
She was 22 years old and had a picturesque appearance. She wore exotic accessories on her fair arms and a sharp dagger tied to her leg.
The good-looking beauty frowned slightly, and her forehead was slightly hot.
Li Yunhao lowered his head and saw that she was wearing a long red silk dress with a slit. A corner of the skirt was torn off.
Ding! [System Notification: Princess Yicheng, Yang Lizhi, S-rank beauty.]
