At the high altitude of this long night, the wind is particularly cold.

The person who got on the flying ball soon began to regret it.

More than a dozen people were frozen and frost was condensed on their faces.

In order to make him look a little ritual, Li Chengqian wore armor, but the metal armor looked intimidating but could not stop the cold wind.

He kept sucking his nose, feeling his whole body was almost stiff from cold.

Fortunately, there are several quilts in this vine basket. The quilt is very thick. I was not prepared to keep warm before, but considering that the landing technology of the flying ball may be relatively poor. After landing completely, I fell down to a certain height, and used this quilt to cushion.

At this time, a personal guard took a thick quilt and stepped forward to wrap Li Chengqian around, saying, "Your Highness, it's cold in the sky..."

"No need." Li Chengqian moved his stiff face and said, "Distribute these to everyone to keep warm. The one who is still wearing a piece of cotton armor, which is more cold-resistant than the armor on your body. You should take turns wrapping a quilt."

Wave your hand, it's very cool.

This is the pattern.

But the cost of the pattern was a bit high, and he felt that his ears were frozen so cold that they no longer belonged to him.

Cheng Chumo held the edge of the vine basket and watched himself reaching the sky, fighting with his legs. He was different from Li Chengqian and others who had already practiced in advance. It was his first time to go to the sky, especially in the night sky, which was pitch black all around, and there was only some light in the vine basket. At this moment... he was scared.

"Scared?" Li Chengqian looked at him contemptuously.

Cheng Chumo was about to cry or not, nodded and said, "I was thinking that it was already terrible in the sky. If it descended and landed on the ground... wouldn't it be like breaking your leg?"

"If you fall, you will fall." Li Chengqian was extremely brave and looked at Cheng Chumo with contempt: "Don't worry, break your hands, feet, and Chen Zhengtai and his father. He will help us connect our legs and feet. A man should make a great contribution. He should be like my father, seeking thieves for thousands of miles, and not being punished or returned."

Cheng Chumo widened his bull's eyes, and suddenly, as if he was not breathing: "..."

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "What are you doing this?"

Cheng Chumo said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, you don't know yet. Chen Zhengtai said in person that the bone-assembly metal is gone. If the bone is broken, it will never be able to be taken."

Li Chengqian: “…”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I don't know your Highness doesn't know."

"If you don't say you're alone..."

Li Chengqian suddenly looked depressed. He wanted to argue with Cheng Chumo, but soon, he realized... it seemed that this was meaningless, and he had more important things to do!

But, do you... have to break your leg again?

This time I'm really lame.

Soon, he adjusted his mindset. No matter what, he came, he came here. I wanted someone to see the books I read, not those unknown people who can talk about them. He also wanted to let his father know that he could win a thousand miles away, and he could win the battle, Li Tai... No!

Several guards in charge of looking out were constantly patrolling the dark ground under the flying ball in various directions of the rattan basket.

The height of the flying ball is not high, but in the dark night sky, it is almost impossible to tell the scenery below.

Of course, they have goals, and what they are looking for is campfires.

Li Chengqian found the map and Si Nan, muttering to himself: "The current wind speed is as roughly as my senior brother's estimate. But in one hour, I traveled forty miles and I was only a hundred miles away from the Chicken and Deer Stop. In this way, it takes more than two hours to arrive. We walked in this direction for three hours. If we can't find the thief, we have to find a way to return. Everyone can sleep for a while and let someone take a nap for a while."

Cheng Chumo said, "Your Highness isn't sleeping?"

Li Chengqian shouted sternly: "God General, you have the lives of more than ten of you who are alone, how can you sleep?"

As he said that, he ignored Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo felt that he was just a broken leg, but this guy was bad, so he was better taught by his father. When marching and fighting, he was not the bravest one who rushed in front. Real old soldiers were often not the ones at the forefront. They should eat more and eat more and eat more and eat more and whenever they had room, they must sleep well. What is marching and fighting? They mean eating more and sleeping well. Don’t be excited when encountering problems. Follow people, watch the four directions and listen to all directions.

Although he was still a little scared, when he thought of his father's teachings, he wrapped himself in a quilt and leaned against the vine basket wall, and was drowsy. But... in his mind, his father always lingered. He suddenly thought of his father. His father was very good to him without breaking his legs.

Among the four sons, my father loves me the most. He taught me to drink when he was four years old, taught me to ride a horse at five years old, and when he was eight years old, he taught me what kind of women he could give birth to. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

...

The flying ball slowly floated in the sky. At some point, someone suddenly said: "Campfire is a campfire."

The Turks' habit of lit a large number of campfires at night, whether they are shepherds or marching. On the one hand, it is in the desert, in order to prevent wild wolves from attacking livestock at night, and on the other hand, it is also to keep warm.

When Li Chengqian heard the campfire, he immediately became energetic and immediately his head was filled with vine basket.

I had been flying for nearly two hours and saw a campfire, which proved that there was no big deviation in the direction.

This made Li Chengqian excited all of a sudden, and all the sleepy people woke up. They felt the surprise attack of danger as if they were coming. Once a man encountered danger, his survival instinct inherited from his ancestors was secreted. For a moment, his blood surged and his spirit reached his limit.

Sure enough, a little light appeared on the ground, that was the campfire.

As the flying ball flew past the campfire, Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Wake everyone up. The campfire is scattered. This must be the campfire of the Turkic rafters. This means that their central army is not far away, so find a way to search."

The flying ball flew across the earth, and almost everyone was searching on the ground. After two incense sticks, someone suddenly said, "Look, there is a large fire there."

Li Chengqian looked at it with excitement on his face, and saw that the campfires in the distance became even more dense, continuous, like the Milky Way.

He was surprisingly calm at this moment: "Don't hurry, go in that direction, adjust the height, find the right wind direction, and go southwest."

So the guards began to get in a hurry.

The height of the flying ball was lowered a little, and the wind was low here, so... the flying ball was allowed to move slowly aimlessly.

After countless scattered campfires, Li Chengqian carefully observed that he knew the customs of the Turks, and then... he discovered an abnormality in the distance.

Almost all campfires are like stars holding the moon, surrounding a center.

And the outer periphery of the central position is strangely an isolation zone, like an arc, just around the arc, there is no fire.

This is obviously related to the Turkish way of stationing, and the most noble people were stationed around by tribe herders and soldiers.

However, in order to protect the safety of this nobleman, an isolation belt must be set up on the periphery of the imperial guards. Ordinary shepherds and warriors are not allowed to approach the big tent. Only the tents that can be stationed near the big tent are the children closest to the nobleman and the trusted guards.

Li Chengqian said, "It's right there... hurry up, adjust the height, northeast direction."

The flying ball began to move, and the several control guards were sweating profusely, and everyone's hearts were beating in their throats.

Cheng Chumo even slapped his lame leg excitedly and said excitedly: "It must be the sweat tent, my father said it at the beginning..."

Li Chengqian glared at him and whispered: "Speak softly."

The flying ball began to approach the brightest part of the campfire. In order to show the dignity of the owner of the big tent and to let the tribesmen patrolling at night understand the position that the owner of the big tent cannot be violated, the campfires in front of the big tent often burn the most vigorous, vivid and outstanding.

And this... just provided great convenience to Li Chengqian and others.

They adjusted their angles again and again and kept getting closer to the campfire.

Get closer, with the help of the fire on the ground, you can vaguely see a high wall near the big tent.

"Sure enough, this is the chicken and deer stuffed." Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said, "Hurry up, prepare the gunpowder."

The gunpowder is ready-made, with a total of 1,400 kilograms of gunpowder. Two hundred kilograms of tincture oil were added inside and outside the gunpowder. It is said that there are many rusty iron filings. At this moment, it is hung under the vine basket, and a few thick leads are connected to the vine basket.

Cheng Chumo quickly took out the flint, and the people on the other side... were ready to understand the huge gunpowder pack.

Under this starry sky, the flying ball was swaying so far, getting closer and closer to the big tent.

…………

On the outside of the big tent, there seemed to be a patrolling guard who noticed the abnormality. They looked up and saw that there seemed to be something dark in the sky that actually covered the moon.

They were puzzled that this thing... seemed to be slowly excited, so that... a huge shadow was left on the ground.

When encountering something puzzling, the Guard first thought of the wizard, so he hurriedly ordered people to wake up the wizard.

The wizard arrived soon. He was wearing a witch suit and holding a strange magic weapon in his hand. When he saw this strange thing in the sky, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He began to dance around the campfire, chanting repeatedly: "Tengri...Tengri..."

This Tengri means immortality, which means blessing the gods.

Finally, such a move alarmed the big tent.

In the big tent, Jie Li Khan had been awakened. He suddenly pushed away the woman who was on the sheepskin couch with him. The woman was kidnapped from somewhere and was covered in scars. She was kicked by Jie Li Khan and screamed. Jie Li Khan was furious and slapped her in the face. Then he cursed and only wore a fur, and then left the big tent!

At this time... Jie Li Khan Khan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There are shadows on the ground, and you can vaguely see something floating in the sky, black, but it cannot see clearly, but it covers the moon in the sky.

The wizards danced and shook the magic weapon in their hands making various sounds. He was excited when he heard the prayer words in the wizard.

"Tengri blesses the Khan on the ground and wishes him to lead 100,000 herders to defeat all foreign enemies."

At this moment, Jie Li Khan couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's been several years.

The Turkic tribes were so powerful in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The powerful people in the Central Plains rushed to give great gifts to the Turks. The Turkic cavalry could go wherever they wanted. With the rise of the new dynasty in the Central Plains, they showed more arrogance and disrespect. The climate in the desert was changing, and the herdsmen lived so hard that they lost the great gifts sent by the Central Plains dynasty, and their lives became more and more difficult.

He decided to teach Li Shimin a hard lesson.

Especially when the Tang army recovered Xiazhou, this was something that Jie Li Khan could not tolerate.

Now, he is coming with the army.

At this moment, Tengger sent out a foreshadowing. He raised his head and looked at the dark thing in the sky like a god, crying with joy.

The guards beside him fell to the ground with the wizard who was dancing with great gods, muttering words.

The flying ball gradually... began to stop above the big tent.

So... the excited Jie Li Khan opened his arms, closed his eyes, raised his head to the sky, and began to mutter something in his mouth. It seemed that at this moment... he was accepting Tengri's blessings, and luck and courage would come to him. He would take countless shepherds to break through the walls, abduct the women and money and food of the Central Plains people, and kill their men, so that they would always remember that peace was the gift given to them by the Khan on his land. Once the gift was no longer, they would kill them, use their blood to sacrifice to Tengri, and use their food to fill the shepherds' belly, and let their women serve the bravest warriors in the desert.
To be continued...
