Chapter 465, well, it's quite memorable.
(Thanks to Bennier for casting 4 monthly tickets.)
General Liu's personal guard entered the tent. When General Liu, who was reading a military book, looked up and saw it was him, he felt his head grow bigger again.
Putting down his military treatise, General Liu asked his personal guard with some impatience, "Have the people from She'er's side arrived again?"
"General! General Helu has sent someone again to ask when General Li will return?"
General Liu slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily at his personal guards, "Didn't we tell them it would be done soon?"
Why are you asking again?
What, has everything been settled at She'er's place?
Has that guy named Berg become obedient? Is he willing to submit to orders?
The guards weren't afraid of General Liu at all, and they knew that General Liu's current displeasure wasn't directed at them.
The main problem is that Li Shiyue has been away from the Turkic royal court for almost half a month!
Half a month! That's ten days longer than the five days General Liu initially told She'er.
The personal guard understood quite well why Sher had been sending people to ask him every day recently;
After all, if Li Shiyue was going to hunt down the Khan's deserters, then five days would be enough.
But it's been more than ten days already. Let alone chasing after deserters, given Li Shiyue's efficiency, he'd probably have to plow through every tribe on the grassland.
If you call your personal guards, even if it were She'er, they'd have to come and ask every day. Who wouldn't worry? Who wouldn't be afraid? There's an uncontrollable tiger in the house that's always talking back.
At this moment, faced with General Liu's words, the personal guard could only lower his head and reply: "The scouts have reported that the fifth prince in the royal court has already bowed down to She'er, and is willing to listen to She'er's words, support She'er to ascend to the throne as Khan, and obey his commands."
There has been no news from the Fourth Prince, who is away from home most of the year. I wonder if he's trying to assess the situation, or if he's already been... taken away by General Li...
The guard held up his hand like a knife to his own neck, "...As for the Seventh Prince, his mother, like the Fifth Prince, was just a female slave, and he had no support behind him."
If he were still alive, he would probably agree with the Fifth Prince's decision to put She'er in power.
"Did She'er send anyone out of the royal court today?"
The guard nodded to General Liu, "Yes!"
Our men saw it, and they sent out another group, presumably heading towards the other princes' pastures.
As the general instructed, our men only watched from a distance and did not follow.
Upon receiving this news, General Liu shook his head and sighed, "Where exactly has Li Shiyue gone off to?"
"She wouldn't really lead a group to kill all of Sher's brothers, would she?"
"General, that can't be right. General Li only took about a thousand men with him. How could a mere thousand men accomplish something like this?"
In other words, Li Shiyue wasn't present. If she had been, she probably would have had a serious talk with General Liu and his personal guard.
"You should still have dreams, what if they come true?"
Li Shiyue, who was being thought of by many, was currently having medicine carefully applied to her by Sun Xiaoliu.
Chen Yong, covered in blood, walked over from a short distance away. He bowed and reported to Li Shiyue, "General, the man's limbs have been severed. He should bleed to death in about fifteen minutes."
"Um.
But what did we get out of the questions?
Are any of them able to speak Chinese?
As Li Shiyue asked this question, she raised her hand and waved to Sun Xiaoliu, who was applying medicine to her.
Before Chen Yong could reply, Sun Xiaoliu anxiously shouted, "General, I haven't finished applying the medicine yet!"
These beasts should all be chopped into human pigs.
They only cut down one; that's too good for them.
"If the general gets a scar on his face, killing them several times over wouldn't be enough to compensate for it."
"Come on, I'm actually complaining that my face isn't imposing enough."
"I wish there was a scar at the corner of my eye; that would be exactly what I wanted."
After agreeing with Sun Xiaoliu, Li Shiyue looked at Chen Yong again and said, "Forget it, if we can't get any information, then so be it. It's just that the people from the tribes we killed a couple of days ago are here to retaliate."
"It's alright, don't torture him anymore, just kill him."
"General, how can you let them off so easily?"
Tell your men to cut them all into human pigs, one by one!
Li Shiyue didn't respond to Sun Xiaoliu's words. She nodded to Chen Yong, who bowed and left.
"Alright, Xiao Liu, say less."
We killed too many people, so it's normal for them to retaliate.
But there's no need to torture or abuse the enemy; we don't have time for that. I've kept you here for quite a while; it's time for us to go back.
Li Shiyue stood up and looked to the side. There were countless fine warhorses, a huge herd of at least a thousand.
These thousand fine horses were all obtained through violent means from various tribes on the grasslands over the past two weeks.
Now, these more than a thousand of them can truly manage two horses per person.
They loaded several large carts with the goods.
In short, over the past two weeks, they have been able to have a fight in a tribe every two or three days.
Killing the rebellious adult men and all the nobles, and then taking their warhorses and gold and silver when they left—that's what they've been doing for the past two weeks.
Li Shiyue did not take away the cattle, sheep, and grain. She only killed the adult men who resisted and all the nobles, regardless of age or gender. As for the commoners and slaves who knelt down and surrendered, she did not lay a hand on them.
Of course, if anyone resisted, they were killed.
Oh, they did take some food, but each tribe only took a little, enough for their thousand people to eat on the road. They didn't take anything more.
It's also because they can't carry it all. They've already driven the horses, and if they carry more, they won't be able to travel as fast.
However, it is estimated that Li Shiyue and his men were too ruthless, because on their way back to the Turkic royal court, they encountered the remnants of the tribe who had driven a pack of wolves to ambush them.
Although Li Shiyue was the victor in the end, this time there was a skilled archer among the remnants of the army.
Even with her cultivation technique active, Li Shiyue almost failed to dodge the archer's arrow, which grazed her eye.
That's why a bloodstain was left at the corner of his eye.
This was the first time Li Shiyue had been wounded on his face since he went to the battlefield.
How should I put it?
It's quite a memorable item.
Li Shiyue was serious when she said that to Sun Xiaoliu; she genuinely felt that her face wasn't dignified enough.
If a scar could really be left at the corner of her eye, it would actually make her look more heroic.
Of course, the archer was eventually cornered by Li Shiyue and the Xuanjia Army and beheaded.
After observing the herd of horses for a while, Li Shiyue turned to Sun Xiaoliu and said, "Have the brothers bury those wolves and men, and hurry up and pack up. We can't stay here any longer."
It's likely to rain tonight; we need to find somewhere to take shelter.
