Chapter 450 The Mysterious Turkic Camp
Li Lingruo and Yan Chuchu also walked out of the ruins.
"Shopkeeper Yan," Zhao Han pointed to the two Turkic guards on the ground and said, "Are the Turkic people you are talking about these people?"
Yan Chuchu looked at it and nodded:
“That’s right.
These should be their guards.
The Turkic soldiers who were guarding me were dressed like this, wearing such a wolf-headed mask.”
Zhao Han leaned over and took off the masks of the two.
With a high nose and deep eyes, he is indeed a Turkic person.
Zhao Han brought the hemp rope that he had taken from Yan Chuchu, tied the two Turkic guards tightly, and stuffed cloth into his mouth.
Then he spread some energy to one of the guards.
After a while, the guard took a breath and slowly opened his eyes.
He suddenly felt a chill around his neck.
Zhao Han had already taken off the black iron weapon on his back and put it on the neck of the Turkic guard:
"Listen, I'll ask you a few words now.
You just need to nod or shake your head.
If you dare not answer, or tell lies, your neck will be immediately penetrated with a big hole.
You will watch the blood flowing out of your neck, unable to say a word, and it hurts until you die."
Zhao Han spoke authentic Turkic language.
Although the Turkic guard was brave, Zhao Han's voice was so cold that he couldn't help but be frightened.
He nodded.
"Are you from the Turkic Leopard Master?" Zhao Han asked.
The Turkic guard nodded.
"Is your leader called Zhihuo?" Zhao Han asked again.
The guard nodded again.
"Is there your secret camp in the ruins of Jiangdu Palace ahead?"
The guard nodded again.
Zhao Han spoke quickly, and asked questions one by one. The Turkic guards nodded or shook their heads, and they all answered quickly.
Seeing that this man had been completely tamed, Zhao Han would no longer call him loudly.
He took off the cloth from the guard's mouth, continued to threaten with iron tools, and asked a few more questions.
It turned out that Zhihuo was really building his camp here.
There were nearly two thousand people in the camp, all of which were authentic Turkic Leopard Division cavalry.
As early as a few years ago, these cavalrymen disguised themselves as merchants and came from the Western Turkic Kingdom in batches thousands of miles and lived in Yangzhou City.
The order they received at that time was to lurk here first.
On weekdays, they pretend to be merchants and do business, secretly maintaining martial arts practice, waiting for the next order.
It was not until a few months ago that the cavalry of the Leopard Division suddenly received a secret order to secretly come to the ruins of Jiangdu Palace in batches.
These cavalry each carried their own weapons and horses, crossing the turbid river from a remote ferry in the middle of the night.
After getting ashore, someone came to pick him up there and brought them in through a small gate under the tall city wall.
Then, they camped here and prepared various materials and equipment for the uprising.
But when Zhao Han asked when and where they would raise their troops, the real purpose and combat plan of the troops, the guard shook his head and said, "He didn't know it."
He said that the leader said that when it was necessary, he would tell them.
They just need to prepare everything and be at their best.
Zhao Han asked the guard again about the "female ghost Chenjiang case".
The guard also looked confused. Obviously, he had never heard of "female ghost Chenjiang", the woman in black and the woman in white.
Zhao Han thought for a while, then looked at the guard's dress and said:
"You are a guard, you are responsible for guarding. Is it your central army's tent?"
The Turkic guards were obviously a little surprised:
"How did you...how did you know?"
Zhao Han did not explain and continued:
"Since you are guarding the tent of the central army, you will definitely hear something about your leader in it.
Think about it carefully, have your leader mentioned the people and things I just mentioned, related to the shipwreck case?"
The guards thought desperately.
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and told Zhao Han that he had not heard of the people and things about the shipwreck case.
But he once saw something strange.
One night, the guard was guarding the big tent.
Their leader, Zheng Loss, suddenly brought a mysterious figure into the big tent.
The character covered her face and was wrapped tightly, but at first glance she was not from their Turkic camp. At that time, Zhi Dikui was also talking to the mysterious character, and they were talking Tang Dynasty words.
The guards have been in Yangzhou for so long, and they can understand it.
He remembered that the two men seemed to have said something.
The two of them said, "That person" is very important to this plan. Although he is already in our control, he still needs to pay great attention and must not make any mistakes.
Later, the two of them entered the tent and the guards heard nothing again.
Zhao Han and Li Lingruo looked at each other.
A person is very important to the matter of reviving a military force and is still in control of the loss of the credit.
Such a description made Zhao Han immediately think of a person they were looking for while handling the case - Prince Li Chengqian.
So, this is the loss of the title, and he really lied about the shipwreck case.
Yan Chuchu and Li Chengqian, these two missing people are all related to him.
So, Wu Jiangxian, the woman in white who kidnapped Li Chengqian, is also in the same group as them?
This "female ghost Shenjiang case" turned out to be what they did?
Zhao Han interrogated several times and found that the guard no longer knew other useful news.
He knocked the guard unconscious again, stuffed cloth into his mouth, and tied it to a corner of ruins that no one could find.
Zhao Han took off the coats, armor and masks of the two men and tied them to their backs with ropes.
Then, he and Li Lingruo placed Yan Chuchu in a safe territory in the distance and gave her all the food and water.
Just before Zhao Han wanted to leave, he accidentally glanced at Yan Chuchu's Luo skirt.
It was an ordinary chest-length skirt worn by women in the Tang Dynasty.
"Shopkeeper Yan," Zhao Han asked casually, "Although your clothes are a little damaged, why do you look a little new?"
"Yes," Yan Chuchu nodded, "because I have been in the Hu people's camp for too long and I am very sloppy.
So two days ago, the Turks asked a Hu girl to come in and changed into a new set of clothes for me."
Zhao Han nodded and told Yan Chuchu to hide it and wait for them to come back to save her.
Then, he and Li Lingruo moved in and ran towards the center of Jiangdu Palace under the darkness.
At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the evening.
The two of them walked through the ruins for a while, and the ruins of the palaces on both sides were getting fewer and fewer.
Suddenly, the stone path came to an end.
A large open space appeared in front of me, very vast, and there were no palaces again.
In the center of the open space, there is a huge three-story circular altar.
This altar is completely different from the one in the Mysterious Building. It is not the altar of the Taoist Buddha Sect, but the whole body is pure white, with dragon patterns on it, and the royal style of the former Sui Dynasty.
In front of the altar, a tall royal archway stands with four ancient characters written on it:
"The Emperor's Queen."
On the open space in front of the altar are rows of arched tents of Hu people, with hundreds of them.
At first glance, it doesn’t look like an old trace of the Central Plains palace, but it seems to be in the desert grassland and in the Hu military camp.
Between those dense tents, there were a lot of people walking and guarding.
They all seemed to be wearing Hu people's light armor and holding Hu swords and Hu arrows.
This is like a Hu army with at least a thousand people.
But although it is of such a large scale, there is no fire in this camp.
Everyone's movements were also very rigorous and low-key, and the footsteps and horse hooves were also low, without any noise.
The entire camp is like a ghost realm, hiding among the ruins of this palace, silent and no one knows it.
