Feng Xue held the cat, holding the ox horn cup in one hand, and took a sip from time to time, her eyes stopped on Huai Zong's tough face. Huai Zong smiled, but did not look at her. She just kept raising the glass to signal Dou Gui, and said some gossip without any hesitation, from astronomy and geography to Hu**, everything was included, and his tone was casual without losing respect.

Dou Gui met Dou Wei on the way to Ningcheng. When he learned that Dunwu rushed out from more than 100 guards and more than 50 crossbows, Dou Gui was very surprised. He was too young. When Dunwu left the Dou family, he had no impression. He just heard from a young age that there was a guest of the Dou family who had a very strong martial arts skills that were almost mythical. He trained experts like Dou Hu. He had long wanted to meet him and see if this person was really so powerful, but unfortunately he never had a chance.

Hearing this news now was enough to convince him of the authenticity of those legends. He could not think of how a flesh-and-blooded person could escape from such an encirclement.

However, what he had to consider was not how Dunwu escaped, but how to restore the reputation of the Dou family. Dunwu was already dead, but Liu Xiu, who made Dou Huai Zhuan famous in front of Huai Zong, was still alive. Dou Wei gave him the task of killing Liu Xiu.

It is best to be in front of Huai Zong.

Dou Gui is not Dou Hui. After receiving this task, he directly found Huai Zong. After Huai Zong and Feng Xue left Ningcheng, they were caught up by Dou Wei before they went far. They heard that Dou Wei killed Liu Xiu's master Dunwu. Huai Zong knew that the Dou family would not give up, so he did not leave immediately and was waiting for the Dou family to find him. Dou Guiyi talked about the plan to kill Liu Xiu, and Huai Zong agreed after he hesitated. He even personally persuaded Lu Anhou to take them deep into Shanggu County, pretending to be hunting Wuhuan people lurking in Mingji Mountain.

Feng Xue was a little puzzled and thought that he was too risky to do this. It was not worth it for just Liu Xiu. Huai Zong did not explain, but said that he was very interested in Liu Xiu and wanted to know more. Seeing that he didn't say it, Feng Xue didn't ask much, so she had to accompany him to Jiming Mountain and wait for Liu Xiu to pass by from now on.

In the past few days, Huai Zong took Feng Xue and Dou Gui to check the nearby terrain together, and finally decided to ambush here. In order to be foolproof, they decided to kill all those who were traveling with Liu Xiu to avoid leaking the news. They were not worried about the Han people, but were worried about Wuhuan, the Lord Shanggu. The subordinates of Nanlou were strong and had not clearly accepted the kindness of the Xianbei royal court. They joined the alliance. Huai Zong did not want to annoy Nanlou for this matter.

In the evening, Fengxue, who had already been waiting impatiently, finally smiled. As long as Liu Xiu killed them, they could leave here and return to the vast grassland, and no longer have to stay in this narrow valley. The mountains here are too high and the cliffs are too steep, which divides the blue sky into one by one, which makes people feel breathless. If Huai Zong hadn't been by her side, she wouldn't have wanted to stay here for a day.

When he thought of his inseparable relationship with Huai Zong these days, Feng Xue was reluctant to leave. Huai Zong was a talented person and both civil and military. Over the years, he followed King Tan Shihuai to fight in the east and west, and made countless military achievements. At the youngest, he was the generals under Tan Shihuai, who were hundreds of times stronger than his younger brother and Lian, and was the hero of all the girls on the grassland. Every time at the goat meeting, countless girls expressed their feelings to him. Although Feng Lie intended to marry Feng Xue to Huai Zong, King Tan Shihuai also liked Feng Xue very much, but as long as he did not make an engagement for one day, Feng Xue could not feel at ease for a day, for fear that any girl would take the lead and snatch her Huai Zong away.

The girls on the grassland are not as shy as Han women. If they like a man, they will rush up fearlessly like a female wolf, hug the person they like in their arms, and then bare their white teeth at the other women and make threatening roars, preventing them from getting closer.

This gave Feng Xue a headache. Although she was the number one beauty on the grassland and had a good swordsmanship, her temperament was as weak as a sheep and a wild wolf compared to these real Xianbei women. She could only watch the young and beautiful grassland women glaring at her Huai Zong, laughing, and pulling him to a place she couldn't see. She even kissed Huai Zong in front of her, shamelessly pressing her whole body on, wishing she could combine it with Huai Zong.

This made Fengxue very distressed.

"Miss Fengxue, why are you unhappy? Have you been bored here for too long? Don't worry, after killing that guy tomorrow, we will leave immediately." Seeing that Fengxue's face was not good, Dou Gui said apologetically: "I have been wronged these two days. When I return to the grassland, I will send two double-faced brocades to accompany the girl."

When Fengxue heard this, his eyes lit up and then dimmed again. He said listlessly: "I dare not, you Han people often say that you will not receive any rewards without merit. This time I just accompanied the prince to see it, and I did not do my best. How could I receive such a great gift as you?"

Huai Zong put down his wine glass and said lightly: "The Dou family is indeed a noble family, and there is such a double-sided brocade that is said to have been lost."

Dou Gui said: "This is also a gift from the palace in the early years and passed down from home. When he escaped, my mother lost countless gold and silver, and finally lost her jewelry, but she was reluctant to throw away these two-sided brocades. Now that my Dou family has arrived on the grassland, my mother has died of illness, and it is only sad for people to see the things. Although there are countless beauties on the grassland, only a beautiful woman like Fengxue is worthy of a magical object like Double-sided brocade. Only the Fengxue girl who wears double-sided brocades can match a hero like Prince."

Huai Zong laughed loudly, Feng Xue blushed, looked at Dou Gui with gratitude, and lowered his head in glee.

Lu Anhou also quickly clapped and said, "That's right, the prince is so heroic that he will definitely succeed the Xianbei king in the future. Only a beautiful girl like Fengxue is worthy of being his Yanshi. At that time, I will still be shameless to ask for a glass of wine."

"Hahaha... After this incident, we are friends. Isn't drinking the most convenient thing?" Huai Zong smiled and said, "I'll tell you that the Jiuhuajiu from the Dou family is a good wine. If you go to Danhan Mountain in the future, you won't forget to ask for a few glasses."

"It must be certain." Lu Anhou smiled flatteringly: "Young Master Dou will have to give you a few cups at that time."

"It's okay, the tent of the Dou family will be open to you at any time in the future." Dou Gui smiled reservedly, raised his glass to Huai Zong, Fengxue signaled, and then nodded to Lu Anhou. Lu Anhou was overjoyed and quickly raised his glass to drink it all. He was a little excited, and his chest was wet.

"It's getting late, let's take a break." Huai Zong glanced at the bronze beam-lifting pot at the corner of the tent. This gold-inlaid silver-inlaided pot was a gift from Dou Gui to Lu Anhou, and Lu Anhou regarded it as a treasure.

Dou Gui nodded and responded, turned to Lu Anhou and said, "We will follow the established arrangement. You will go to the valley entrance to intercept it tomorrow. I will lead people to block their retreat. As long as the prince pushes the stone, we will break into the valley together and kill them. Those property and people are your spoils. I have only one request to leave Liu Xiu's life. I will cut off his head with my own hands."

"Young master, don't worry, I will never touch the hair of the dog. I will hand him to your hands intact." Lu Anhou was overjoyed, his chest slapped loudly. After thinking about it, he said, "But if he is unlucky and is hit by the prince's stone, then you can't blame me."

Dou Gui smiled and said, "That's natural."

"That man is very cunning. I'm afraid that when there is any noise on it, he will jump up and run for life first. How could he be hit by the prince so easily?" Feng Xue was happy, her eyes were flowing, and she looked even more charming: "I can remind you that man's sword skills are very good, and you may not be his opponent."

Dou Gui nodded, laughing without saying a word. He heard Dou Hu say that Feng Xue and Liu Xiu had fought and lost to Liu Xiu. He was not surprised by this. Since Liu Xiu was Dunwu's disciple, Dunwu said in person that even Dou Hu was not his opponent, and Liu Xiu's martial arts were naturally not comparable to Feng Xue. If he wanted to fight alone, Dou Gui was not sure, maybe only Huai Zong had some chance. He had long heard that Tan Shihuai could unify the grassland and conquer such a territory, not only because of his strategy, but also an indispensable and important factor. Huai Zong, as his eldest son, was also very good at martial arts. Among the many generals under Tan Shihuai, Murong Feng and Feng Lie were famous for their wisdom, while Huai Zong was a well-deserved first general.
