The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

Hawks occasionally flew across the sky.

Xi Mingming and others went straight to Kharkov, and were now following the Orkhon River, getting very close to the Yazhang Khanate near Yu Dujun Mountain.

Tuoba Yu raised his eyes to the sky, his expression difficult to control, his anxiety exposed.

.

Yu Dujun Mountain is also called Yudujin Mountain.

In 89 AD in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Xian led his army to attack the Northern Xiongnu, penetrated miles into the vast desert, and defeated the Xiongnu. On the way back, he climbed the Yanran Mountain and carved a stone to record his achievements, which is known in history as "Yanran Stone Inscription".

Yu Dujun Mountain is the ancient Yanran Mountain where Dou Xian carved a stone to record his achievements, and was later called Hangai Mountain.

When Xi Mingming was halfway there, he remembered an allusion that happened more than 500 years ago, and then he led his men straight to Huanglong Benya Camp.

.

The harrier hawk was circling high in the sky.

Xi Mingming turned around and looked at Tuoba Yu with a half-smile: "We have been going back and forth so many times, I can't pretend to be blind. Is it so difficult for you Eastern Turks to reach a consensus?"

Tuoba Yu's face changed drastically.

"Let me guess... you didn't make contact with Khan Court until you were close to Harhorin. I didn't expect you to be a guide, so your detour plan failed."

Xi Mingming was at his ease, "So...your master hasn't returned to the tent yet?"

Xi Mingming nodded and concluded: "You are afraid that I will kill Ashina Dujishi as soon as I arrive, but the Khanate does not believe your news, at least not all of it."

.

Ashina Dujishi, son of Qimin Khan, was Shibi Khan.

Xi Mingming's nickname "The Useless Demon" shocked the martial arts world in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, but the Eastern Turks would not believe it easily.

Or it should be said in another way. After experiencing the "Siege of Yanmen", the Eastern Turks were more confident in their own military power than ever before, and they did not believe Tuoba Yu's judgment.

Tuoba Yu is different.

Grandmaster level, his master Bi Xuan is the Grandmaster.

There is a very simple equation here.

In Luoyang, the Eastern Capital of Central Plains which is heavily guarded, Master Bi Xuanru is determined to kill Yang Guang regardless of his own life. Can he do it?

In Tuoba Yu's heart, yes.

Then Sect Master Xi can do it too.

.

"Relax, I'm not that murderous." Xi Mingming kindly comforted Tuoba Yu and told him not to be so nervous.

Look, even though the peregrine falcon is small and fast, it’s not like she didn’t notice it. Doesn’t this still allow Tuoba Yu to pass on messages frequently?

.

What's the point of killing Shibi Khan? Shibi Khan was gone, and his brother Choluo Khan took over. Choluo Khan was dead, and there was still Jie Li Khan.

.

It would have been fine if Xi Mingming didn't comfort him, but after he did so with such good intentions... Tuoba Yu became even more terrified.

Sect Leader Xi’s meaning was very clear—it wasn’t that she couldn’t, but she just didn’t think so for the time being.

This was because the master failed to return the tent in time and the receptionist was negligent, which caused Sect Leader Xi to go crazy. He was not called the "Wasteful Demon" for nothing.

.

The closer you are to the tent, the higher the air humidity.

Yuchi Jingde scratched his head which had not been washed for a long time and said, "There is smoke in the distance. It seems that the Turks have sent many people to stop the master's plan to surround the tent."

This fool actually took Xi Mingming's encirclement tent seriously.

Xi Mingming was the first to go forward and answered Yuchi Jingde with a big laugh: "There are so many masters, at least a thousand of them. It seems that Shibi Khan does not look down on me."

Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde didn't care about the Eighteen Cavalrymen, they spurred their horses and followed closely behind.

.

In front of the thousand-man army, in the middle was a tall, thin middle-aged man with pale skin like jade, which was incompatible with the roughness of the outside world.

He stood with his eyelids drooping and his feet on the ground in front of the thousand cavalry. Logically, he should look insignificant. However, the thousand cavalry formation became a foil for the middle-aged man.

Even when Xi Mingming ran to him, the middle-aged man still didn't raise his eyes.

There was a young man beside him, carrying a big knife. He looked at Xi Mingming with sharp eyes and asked provocatively, "I heard you are very powerful?"

The man opened his eyes.

.

What kind of eyes are these?

His eyes were obviously not small, but they seemed to be always narrowed into a slit. His eyes were as cold as a blade, giving him an indescribable domineering and evil aura, as if he was hiding countless schemes.

"Is this the Sect Master Xi?"

Xi Mingming chuckled and asked casually, "Where is Wu Zun Bi Xuan?"

The man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, then he smiled sinisterly and said, "Master Xi, you should get past me first, Zhao, before you can speak freely."

.

Zhao?

Xi Mingming looked strange, "You are from the Central Plains, you defected to the Eastern Turks and held a high position. Are you Zhao Deyan?"

The knife-wielding boy: "How dare you! You dare to be rude to the Imperial Master!"

Zhao Deyan sneered, "You have no respect for your elders, and you killed your master and ancestors. Did you also kill Liang Shidu?"

.

Xi Mingming tried hard to dig out the remaining historical materials in his mind, and found that Zhao Deyan could barely be considered the earliest special "traitor" whose name was recorded in history?

Zhao Deyan was later highly valued by Jie Li Khan.

He did not understand the characteristics of the Turks and copied the harsh laws of the Central Plains in order to centralize power, which led to dissatisfaction among the leaders of various tribes and sowed the seeds of defeat for the later Li Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Eastern Turks.

Although this was not Zhao Deyan's original intention.

"No, this person must be kept." Xi Mingming thought to himself.

.

Xi Mingming had many thoughts flashing through her mind, and she answered without delay: "Master Liang is dead? I didn't kill him myself, I just destroyed his martial arts. How come Master Liang has already connected with the Eastern Turks so early?"

The young man next to Zhao Deyan blurted out: "Then you might as well just kill him!"

Xi Mingming shook his head and replied without hesitation: "That won't work. I don't kill nameless people."

Knife-wielding boy: ...

Zhao Deyan frowned and reminded: "Liang Shidu is my fellow apprentice."

Xi Mingming: “Oh.”

.

As soon as they met, Zhao Deyan felt the situation was difficult.

He did not look down on Xi Mingming.

Among the eight great masters of the Holy Sect, although "Lord of Heaven" Xi Ying was ranked below him, Zhao Deyan knew very well that Xi Ying had retreated to the Western Regions for many years and had been practicing the "Purple Qi Tianluo" skill.

How old is Xi Mingming? Xi Ying died in her hands.

No matter whether the news from the Western Regions was that Xi Mingming won by sneak attack, the fact is that Xi Ying died in her hands.

.

Otherwise, Zhao Deyan would not have brought a large army to intercept them.

Zhao Deyan didn't really want to fight with Xi Mingming. On the contrary, he brought a large army with the aim of persuading Xi Mingming to join forces.
