To Give You A Way Out!
Three days later.
Inner Pass Road, Yunzhou.
In the early days of the Great Tang, there were many ethnic groups. In addition to the Han, the Qiang were also an important ethnic group.
These Qiang people had lost to the Great Tang in the war, so they had attached themselves to the Great Tang. Later, Li Shimin had separated them according to their ethnic branches and set up Jimi Prefecture to manage them.
Yunzhou was the gathering place of a larger branch of the Qiang, the Dangxiang.
At this moment, it was almost dusk. The red sunset hung in the western sky, enveloping the entire Cloud Plains in a blood-red sunset.
The clansmen of the Dangxiang clan had also ended their day's work and returned to their gathering place.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Some of the Dangxiang clansmen looked at each other and stopped in their tracks, looking in the direction of the sound of hooves.
In their line of sight, they saw dozens of horses rushing out of the huge setting sun. These horses trod on the dust as if they were riding on clouds and fog, approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
The Tangut tribe was a well-known fighting tribe among the Qiang tribes. The men in the tribe were all burly and good fighters. Although they were forced to lay down their weapons after surrendering to the Tang Empire, they still had their own abilities and judgment.
Therefore, just by hearing the sound of the hooves, they could tell that these horses were definitely outstanding warhorses.
Under their vigilant gaze, the warhorses quickly approached and stopped in front of their gathering place.
A handsome man said,"Where is your clan leader?"
"Who are you?"
"Why are you looking for our clan leader?"
These young Dangxiang clansmen subconsciously gripped the tools in their hands tightly, their eyes filled with vigilance and scrutiny.
The young man didn't mind. He threw out a jade pendant and said,"Take this jade pendant and show it to your clan leader.”
A Dangxiang clansman took the jade pendant and exchanged a glance with the others. Then, he nodded slightly and turned around to run into Yunzhou City.
As for the others, they were still vigilantly staring at these uninvited guests. Moreover, they slowly spread out and unknowingly surrounded these ten over fast horses.
"Your Highness." Xue Rengui glanced at this unfriendly formation and whispered to Li Ke.
Li Ke shook his head slightly and said with a smile,"How do you feel?"
Xue Rengui thought for a moment and said,"Although they are all farm tools, they give me the feeling that they are holding weapons. I can tell at a glance that they are all experts in the army.”
"Moreover, their battle awareness is very strong and their coordination is outstanding. They can be called elites.”
After Xue Rengui was dug out from the east of the river by Li Ke, he had been learning the art of war from Su Dingfang. Coupled with his own talent, he already had the vision of a famous general, so Li Ke trusted his judgment very much.
He chuckled and said," Then there's no problem. With these elites, it's not impossible for me to leave Yizhou."”
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Xue Rengui's eyes suddenly flashed.
"It should be pretty close, but I'm not sure if I can accept this elite force until the end…" Li Ke nodded.
At the same time, the Dangxiang clansman who had run away to deliver the news ran back. He looked at Li Ke and said,"The clan leader wants you to see him, but only you can go. No one else can enter.”
Li Ke nodded and said,"Sure."”
He turned to Xue Rengui and whispered,""Be smart. Although this king has made some preparations in advance, it is inevitable that these Qiang people will lose their minds, so be careful. If there are any strange movements, act first.”
"Then, Your Highness?"
"Don't worry about this king. You know this king's abilities. If I want to escape, no one can do anything to me.”
After saying that, Li Ke got off his horse and walked into the gathering place with this clansman.
Along the way, Li Ke saw many Dangxiang clansmen staring at him. Their expressions were not friendly, but full of vigilance. Moreover, each of them held their farming tools tightly, as if they would not hesitate to smash their heads if an order was given.
"Looks like it'll be in the next few days?"
Li Ke took in the expressions of these people and muttered to himself in his heart.
At this moment, they arrived outside a large hall. This clansman said,"Go in. Our clan leader is inside.”
"Thank you."
Li Ke thanked him and entered the hall without hesitation.
Then, he saw that there were more than ten people in the hall.
A middle-aged man in his forties sat on the main seat. There were more than ten people sitting on both sides.
Li Ke walked to the front without changing his expression. He stopped quietly and looked straight at the leader of the Dangxiang Clan, Tuoba Chici.
Tuoba Chici carefully looked at Li Ke from top to bottom. His eyes were filled with great pressure, but Li Ke did not seem to feel it and did not move.
"Did you write this letter?"
Tuoba Chici pointed at the letter on the table and said without any small talk.
Beside the letter, there were two jade pendants. These two jade pendants were exactly the same. One of them was the one that Li Ke had just sent over.
Li Ke nodded and said,"That's right."”
Bang!
Tuoba Chici suddenly slammed the table with a loud thud. The Dangxiang clansmen who were originally sitting also stood up abruptly, pulling out their weapons and glaring at Li Ke.
The entire hall was filled with killing intent!
Tuoba Chici stared at Li Ke and gritted his teeth."Then you still dare to come here? Do you want to die?"
When Li Ke saw this, he did not show any nervousness or anxiety. He only slowly shook his head and laughed,"Naturally, I'm not here to court death."
"I came here…"
Li Ke said meaningfully,"It's because you've already walked onto a dead end, and I'm here to find a way out for you!"!”
