In the valley, a group of people walked cautiously to the foot of the Zhao Xiu and A Yan mountains.
However, the two did not go down the valley immediately.
Ayan Lianshan kicked a stone down to stop the team.
The leader looked up, saw the two people standing in the valley, and shouted, "Who are you?"
Ayan Lianshan raised his brows and replied, "Northern Wolf God."
Although he knew it was inappropriate, Zhao Xiu couldn't help laughing. A Yan Lianshan gave him a sharp look and then asked the crowd, "Who is coming?"
The answer from below was: "Wolf Hunter."
Ayan Lianshan sneered, "You're quite arrogant."
The man below asked, "Wolf cub, come down and talk."
The wolf cub said, "Be polite. You need something from me now."
The person below was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who is Zhao Xiu?"
Zhao Xiu looked around and said, "Apart from him and me, is there anyone else here?"
He doesn't know his own limitations.
The servants drew their bows and arrows and asked, "Will you come down on your own, or should I shoot you down?"
Oh, who are you trying to scare?
Zhao Xiu leaned forward, his hands on his hips, squinting his eyes as he looked down. He asked, "I want to see General Guo Yuanzhen. Who are you?"
The man below sneered and shot an arrow at Zhao Xiu.
Ayan Lianshan pushed Zhao Xiu away. The arrow grazed Zhao Xiu's face and hit the stone wall behind him, sending out a few sparks.
Zhao Xiu climbed up covered in dust and dirt, turned around to look at the arrow nailed to the stone wall, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
This thief! He really shoots!
A Yan Lianshan stepped forward to remove the arrow and carefully examined the tip. It was the exact shape of the Tingzhou Guard. Seeing this man's arm strength and accuracy, even if it wasn't Guo Yuanzhen, he must be one of his elite personal guards.
The people below asked with a smile: "Still don't believe it? Do you want another shot?"
Zhao Xiu and A Yan Lian Shan looked at each other, then slipped down a small path nearby. The man led the team forward and stopped ten feet away from Zhao Xiu and A Yan Lian Shan.
Then he took out a wanted poster and pointed it at Zhao Xiu. After confirming that it was Zhao Xiu, he asked, "Where's the token?"
"The token is on me." Zhao Xiu also looked it over and said, "But you are not General Guo, so I can't give it to you."
As early as in Kyoto, he had seen Guo Yuanzhen's portrait. This person looked very different from him, and his age did not match.
"I'm Di Zhao, the deputy commander of the Qilin Battalion of the Tingzhou Guard. The general has sent me here to retrieve the token. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you and search you. I will go back and report to the commander as usual." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people behind him drew their swords and stared at the two of them with murderous intent.
Zhao Xiu had never seen such a scene before. He shuddered and looked like a pus-filled pustule. "If you... insist on doing it for me, it's not impossible... Ouch!"
Ayan Lianshan kicked him, then grabbed his collar and threw him behind his back.
Damn it! You tricked me into coming here, and now you want to get away? No way.
"The token can be taken on my behalf." He looked Di Zhao down with disdain, saying, "But regarding the cooperation between the Turks and Beiting, you, a figure not even second in command, are you supposed to make the decision on behalf of Guo Yuanzhen?"
Di Zhao's eyes flashed with anger, "Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to give me orders?"
A Yan Lianshan knew that this man was merely sent by Guo Yuanzhen to test the enemy, so he sneered, "I never thought that the renowned General Guo would be such a coward. He's so afraid of death, what's the point of rebelling?"
Di Zhao's expression turned fierce, and he drew his sword and pointed it, saying, "How dare you speak disrespectfully to the general? I think you are tired of living."
A Yan Lianshan said disdainfully, "General? Today you're a general, tomorrow you're a bandit. Why are you putting on airs in front of me? I wanted to help you, Beiting, but you didn't know what was good for you and turned your weapons against me. Don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he put his hand to his mouth and blew three whistles. Then two rows of crossbowmen appeared on both sides of the valley and aimed at Di Zhao and his team.
"This trip wouldn't be in vain. Since you don't want to cooperate, I'll take you away and report you to our Khan."
As expected, they brought people with them.
Di Zhao looked up and roughly estimated the number of crossbowmen on both sides of the valley. He was immediately shocked to find that there were no fewer than two hundred of them. They had expected the other side to bring troops, but they had not expected so many, and all of them were crossbowmen.
The situation is stronger than the people, and besides, they are here to discuss something, so it is not easy to really take action.
Di Zhao had his swords put away and said in a calming tone, "I was just joking with you two, just saying hello. Why are you so angry?"
Before he could finish his words, two crossbow arrows hit his horse. The horse was frightened and stepped back, almost throwing Di Zhao off.
A Yan Lianshan smiled wryly, "Some say you people in the Central Plains value like-mindedness. Since General Di likes this way of greeting, how can we spoil his fun?"
Di Zhao gripped the reins, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He said with a fake smile, "I wonder when you Turks started practicing our Central Plains etiquette?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Ayan Lianshan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said firmly, "Under the current circumstances, you are just a deputy general, so you are not qualified to negotiate with me. Ask Guo Yuanzhen to come out and speak."
Di Zhao gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, unable to resist the urge to kill the Turkic barbarian first.
"Master Eagle, calm down, calm down." Zhao Xiu appeared and shook A Yan Lianshan's back, patting him loudly. Then he whispered, "The people haven't arrived yet, don't get too excited."
Ayan Lianshan snorted coldly and let him play the good guy.
Zhao Xiu stepped forward, opened his arms toward Di Zhao, turned around, and said, "Deputy General Di, I am Zhao Xiu, the real one."
Then he threw him the bronze order he had just brought from the hillside of Ayanlian Mountain and said, "This is the Eagle Master of the Turkic Falconry Division, Ayanlian Mountain."
After Di Zhao carefully identified the bronze token, he confirmed that it was indeed the token of the Turkic Eagle Master and threw the token back.
