After a while, two stout men in Turkic costumes came in, holding one hand in front of his chest and saluting Xiao Ruo Ao, "akdan (Wushi) has seen his Majesty the Chu emperor."

"The two princes are free." After he was given a seat in the palace of life, Xiao Ruo Ao sighed: "I've heard about the western regions. I can't imagine that the emperor of Zhou was too much to be the king of a country."

At the mention of dongfangsu, actanton was furious and said, "it's more than excessive. He's just a despicable person. On the surface, he sent envoys to our family, but in fact, he secretly sent 20000 elite soldiers to help the little thief of Moluo seize the Khan's throne."

Wushi said in a deep voice: "Rogge has died in their hands. The next step is my brothers. In all desperation, they have to come to take refuge with the emperor Chu."

Xiao Ruo Ao looked at them for a moment and said slowly, "do you want me to help you recapture the western regions?"

"Yes." Wushi did not show any affectation. He immediately admitted that "our nation is bordering on the state of Chu, and now it is in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which means that once war begins, the emperor of Chu will face the pressure of the enemy. Even with the help of the state of Qi, it is difficult to deal with it."

Xiao Ruo Ao's eyes were deep and speechless, which was what he was most worried about. Although the population of the western regions was small, they were all soldiers, young and old, and the people were brave. It was really difficult to deal with. This was why he tried every means to win over Rogge and Aktan.

Seeing that Xiao Ruo Ao didn't speak, Aktan and Wushi looked at each other, knelt down and said: "as long as the emperor of Chu is willing to help us recapture the western regions and kill the traitor Moluo, we are willing to be sent by the emperor of Chu to help you fight in the world from now on."

Xiao Ruo Ao lifted them up and said, "the two princes are very serious. Although I have only met you a few times, we are very congenial. We are brothers. Now we are in trouble. We should help each other."

With a relaxed look, Aktan arched his hand and said, "my brother will remember the kindness of the Chu emperor."

After taking their seats again, Xiao Ruo Ao said tentatively, "did the two princes escape alone?"

"There are more than 20000 elite soldiers, who have followed my brother for many years." Speaking of this, Aktan sighed and said with heartache, "there were 30000 people, but more than 2000 people died on the way."

Xiao Ruo Ao twisted his eyebrows and said, "pursued by the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Wushi shook his head and said, "if it's better, more than 2000 people They all died of illness. "

Xiao Ruo Ao was surprised. "How could it be like this? Didn't you see the doctor?"

"At the beginning, they were just weak and had a lot of abdominal discharge. They thought it was just a minor disease, and no one paid attention to it. When they died many times later, they found that the situation was wrong. They invited several doctors to come to see them. They said they had an epidemic disease, and they prescribed a lot of medicine, but it didn't work at all. People still died, and it didn't stop until more than 2000 people died." Wushi said with a lingering fear. During that time, the soldiers died one after another, and the corpses were piled with a thick layer, which was really frightening.

Xiao Ruo is full of astonishment and says, "how can a good one catch the epidemic?"

"We don't know. It's in a city not far from Yingtian." Wu Shi didn't want to say more about it. Instead, he said, "we have brought a gift to Chu emperor when we enter Beijing this time."

"Oh?" Xiao Ruo Ao said in surprise, "what's the gift?"

Wushi said with a smile, "it's a man. Emperor Chu must be interested. Now he's outside the palace, escorted by our soldiers."

"Pass it on." With Xiao Ruo Ao's words, the palace man bowed down and waited for about a touch of incense. Two Turkic soldiers escorted a thin man in.

Xiao Ruo Ao looked at the strange face and said, "who is this?"

"Can the emperor of Chu remember the battle with Qi when he was king Rui ten years ago?"

"Of course, I remember that he defeated the Allied forces of emperor Qi and me with the two great formations of Sancai formation and Tianfu formation." Xiao Ruo said coldly that this was his first defeat in Dongfang Su's hands. Let alone ten years, he would never forget it even if it was decades later.

Xiao Ruo Ao looked at the strange man suspiciously, and said, "is it difficult that these two arrays come from him?"

Aktan said with a smile, "in addition to the array, there was another thing that helped Emperor Zhou."

Xiao Ruo Ao said without hesitation: "wooden cattle flow car."

Wu Shi pulled the man, pushed him to Xiao Ruo Ao, and said with a smile, "yes, he is the man who made the wooden ox flow cart, including the big and small mechanisms used in the battlefield in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the past ten years, all of which are his hands - Gu Yichen."

Xiao Ruo Ao's eyes brightened. He was surprised and happy. "How could he fall into your hands?" He had been salivating over the mechanism skills of the Northern Zhou Dynasty over the years. He also knew Gu Yichen, so he sent a lot of spies to inquire about him. But Dongfang Su protected him closely and never got close to him. He didn't expect that he would suddenly appear in front of him.

"It's just a coincidence that after escaping from the western regions, my brother and I couldn't swallow the breath more and more, so they wanted to sneak around and attack them. It was also an outlet of evil spirit. As a result, my brother unexpectedly found out that this old man was also among the soldiers sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. My brother guessed that the Chu emperor would be interested in him, so he took him captive and dedicated him to the Chu emperor. ""Thank you, princes." Xiao Ruo Ao is in a good mood. It's really hard to find a way out of his shoes.

Aktan said in a cold voice: "but the boy's mouth is very hard. He's not willing to open his mouth even if he's hungry all the way. I don't know why Emperor Zhou sent him to the western regions."

Xiao Ruo Ao went to Gu Yichen and looked at him without saying a word. For a long time, he laughed quietly, "if I guess correctly, you should be the second chess piece laid by Emperor Zhou."

Gu Yichen's eyelids leaped, as if he had been burned by something. Although he soon regained his calm, it was enough for Xiao Ruo Ao to prove his wrong guess. His smile suddenly deepened a little. "Sure."

Aktan heard confused, "what's the second chess piece?"

Xiao Ruo Ao said in a cool voice: "persuading Moluo to seize the throne of Khan is the plan of Emperor Zhou, but as the saying goes, the plan depends on people, and the success depends on heaven. No one can guarantee that his plan will be successful, so he prepared a second plan, and Gu Yichen is the key to this plan."

Wushi was the first to understand, "Mingqiang?"

"It's true that if the secret seizing is not successful, the open seizing is the only way. There are not many 20000 elite soldiers, but if you have the help of the skillful organ division, the combat power will be enough." Xiao Ruo Ao sneered, "it seems that Emperor Zhou is determined to win the western regions."
