Yelu Jue said as he began to peel the wolf skin with a knife.

Lu Jinping squatted beside her and helped her and asked, "Is there anyone in this area?"

"If it were before this, I would tell you very surely that there is, and it is not far away, so that we will not lose hope. But now, with this wolf making food, we can provide our food for several days. I will tell you the truth, there is no one in this area."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of Turkic many times, the residents of the Turkic people lived in places with rivers. For example, we went from Lingzhou City of the Tang Dynasty to Heisha City, and walked along the river. It was the main passage for the Turkic people. But now we have lost our way in the blizzard and deviated from the avenue far away. From our general location, we are far away from the southwest, and the north and south are far away. There is no road in the middle, because the middle area was a desert, no rivers, and no lakes. So there is no house."

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, as long as we can hunt prey, we will definitely be able to get out of this desert snowfield. As long as we are in a good direction and don't get lost, there will be no blizzards like before. I believe we can reach a place with people in about a month. Then we can buy horses."

Yelu Jue acted very quickly. Although she was the wife of Khan, it seemed to be the nature of the grassland. She was very familiar with these things that she didn't do often. She quickly peeled off the wolf's skin and cleaned the whole wolf's intestines. Even if the wolf's intestines were not abandoned, she still wrapped it with the wolf's skin and tied it on the sled. If she still couldn't find the prey after eating the meat in the future, their intestines might delay them for a while and find the prey.

After they were cleaned up, they continued to move forward.

By the afternoon, they saw no new prey. However, they encountered a few small trees, which were mostly flooded by snow, only bare branches swaying in the cold wind.

They found that the branches of two of the trees had dried up for a long time, which means that the two trees had already died. This is exactly what they needed, because it means that the branches were dry and were just for barbecue wolf meat.

The two immediately cut off all the two withered branches with their knives and placed them on the sled, looking for a place to go against the lee and set up camp.

The sun had already set the horizon. Although there was wind, it was not very windy. But we still had to find a place where the wind was. They soon discovered a huge rock. Behind the rock, they set up a tent behind it.

They placed a piece of iron sheet specially used for fire on the snow, and then started to make fire on it. They had previously found several flints from the wreckage of Khitan warriors eaten by wolves, so there was no need to worry about catching fire.

After the fire was created, the hearts of both of them suddenly became bright.

Yelu Jue quickly began to cut off the wolf's legs, put the seasonings on it, and grilled them over and over the fire. Of course, they found these seasonings in the warrior bags eaten by the wolf, which they brought from the Tang Dynasty before.

With the ingredients, the barbecue tastes much more fragrant. Yelu Jue is very good at barbecuing, and it soon smells so good that it makes people swallow their saliva hungryly.

Yelu Jue giggled and asked him to wait patiently. After baking, he only tasted delicious. Finally, the wolf meat was roasted. Lu Jinping bit it and felt the fragrance was full of his mouth. He wished he could even swallow his tongue, and he praised him while eating: "Your skills are so good. Whoever marrys you can enjoy the rest of his life."

"Then you can enjoy your life, can't you? You will be my man from now on!"

Speaking of this topic, Lu Jinping stopped chewing. He looked at her with half a piece of meat in his mouth, thought for a while, and asked, "You and him have children. Do you really have the heart to let the Turkic Khan kill him?"

Sister Ye Lu held a piece of mutton meat in her hand: "If I don't have any feelings for him or hate him, that's a lie. Although our marriage was just a deal, a deal between two families, you know, I didn't see him for the first time until the wedding night. He was not good to me over the years, but it was not bad. However, there were so many women around him, so he didn't care about me. It was common not to meet him for ten days or half a month."

Speaking of this, Yelu Jue took the wolf meat in his hand cold, and then took it to the fire and roasted it slowly, saying, "I don't want him to die, nor do I want the Turkic Khan to kill him, but now for me, I am determined to win his position as Khan, because I found that only by becoming a Khan can I do what I want and get what I want. For this, I can give up everything, including years of husband and wife."

When Lu Jinping heard his words so decisively, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and said, "So, one day in the future, I will hinder you, and you will kill me without hesitation?"

"If I promise that I won't, it's also a lie to you, but I believe, first, you won't hinder me, because you have no reason to hinder me, second, I won't let you have the desire to hinder me. Because I am your woman, I will help you do whatever you want, and you don't need to do this. Are you right?"

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Since you have told the truth, I will tell you the truth too. I will definitely help you seize the position of Khan and help you get rid of political enemies to consolidate your power, because this is good for you to our Tang Dynasty, but I cannot wait by your side for a long time or even for a lifetime. I will return to the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. As long as you need it, I will come to you at any time. I can guarantee this."

A touch of tenderness appeared on Yelu Jue's face. Looking at him, he suddenly leaned over and kissed him gently: "I'm very happy to tell me what you think in your heart. In fact, if you don't say it, I know you would do this. You have too much concern and it's impossible for you to give up these for me. However, with your promise just now, I'm content, and I won't leave you by my side for the rest of my life. Of course, you have to be willing, you can be my prime minister. If you want to return to the Tang Dynasty, I will not stop you. The position of prime minister will always be empty for you."

Lu Jinping said: "Okay, but we have not eliminated our political enemies and helped you win the position of Khan. Isn't it funny to say how to share the fruit of victory? Let's think about how to deal with you first. Do you have a plan?"

Yelu Jue nodded: "I have been thinking about this all these days, and I have been tossing and turning, but now I won't tell you, because now is the time to eat, and I haven't fully thought about it yet. Before entering the territory of Khitan, I will tell you the whole plan in detail, and then we will act according to the plan."

Lu Jinping really wants to say, "You will talk about the plan now, and we will discuss it together, but he stopped it again because this is a battle between political enemies within the Khitan. He has no idea about the internal situation of the Khitan. Even if he pays attention, it is probably a bad idea. Since Yelu Jue has not told Lu Jinping about this action plan now, it means that she does not want to ask Lu Jinping for his intentions on it, and he only needs to implement this plan.

After the two finished the barbecue, they immediately put out the fire because firewood cannot be wasted. In this vast snowy field, firewood is very precious. Without this thing, it means that they can only eat raw ones.

These days, they were very happy to have eaten hot cooked meat for the first time and also drink hot water.

They walked eastward and did not see a family along the way, but they hunted many wild animals, most likely because the blizzards almost never appeared again along the way. Although the temperature was extremely cold, animals living on the snowfields were of course not afraid of the cold. As long as there was no blizzard, they would come out to feed or move. So they became their prey.

Yelu Jue's archery technique is very accurate, and he has never failed within the range, so they are not worried about not having any prey to eat. Later, because they can't finish eating, they choose animals with fresh meat to hunt them.

After walking for nearly a month, they finally saw the first wave of people. This wave of people caught up with them from behind. After catching up, two or three hundred people fell to the ground and kowtowed to Yelu Jue.

Yelu Jue did not look surprised, but was extremely strict and scolded these people. These people knelt on the ground and kowtowed without saying a word. After Yelu Jue's anger subsided, Lu Jinping asked her and found out that these two or three hundred warriors were brought to the Turks on behalf of Yelu Jue, and later attacked the barracks and asked them to leave first.

It was agreed that the warriors were waiting for them to meet at some point, but then there were continuous changes, especially the blizzard, which made these warriors dare not leave. The place where they were squatting was afraid of getting lost in the wind and snow, and even more so could not find Yelu Jue and the others. After the wind and snow passed, they could no longer find Yelu Jue and the others, so they divided into several groups to search everywhere.

Later, after finally finding the remains of the fifty Khitan warriors buried on the ice field, they found traces of sled walking on the ice. Since there was no blizzard, the traces left on the ice were not submerged.

So they followed the route and finally caught up with Lu Jinping and the others.

These people brought war horses. When walking on the ice, war horses need to wrap anti-slip cotton cloth under the iron hooves, and they cannot run quickly, but this is already quite labor-saving.

When introducing Lu Jinping to these Khitan warriors, Yelu Jue only said that he was a friend of the Tang Dynasty and did not mention his identity in detail.

These Khitan warriors had never seen Lu Jinping, because the night they attacked the barracks, Lu Jinping was hiding in the ice cave. When he came out, because of the cold, he covered most of his face with a scarf, and there was a white cloak outside. After seeing Yelu Jue, the two of them went into the tent to talk. At that time, Yelu Jue had only his confidant followers, and there were no ordinary Khitan warriors. Yelu Jue's fifty confidant bodyguards had been eaten by the wolves, so these Khitan warriors had never seen him. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
