Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

A dozen or so elite cavalrymen filed out of the tribe and galloped off in the southwest.

The leader was teary-eyed, like a white-clad guardian heading to his execution.

To his left is Kedazhi, who is holding a long sword.

Compared to Protector Bai, Keda Zhi's expression was calm and indifferent, as if the place he was going to was just an ordinary place.

Gao Yi stood on a gentle slope, gazing into the distance at the departing figures of the group.

Of course, the main attention was still focused on Kedazhi.

Compared to Protector Bai and others, it was only with the appearance of Ke Dazhi that Gao Yi truly felt the exhilarating feeling of having a capable subordinate.

The capabilities of the two sides are simply not in the same league.

Keda, despite having a very cute surname, Keda.

However, perhaps influenced by the Central Plains culture, he has always identified himself with the surname Ke.

Of course, Gao Yi didn't care too much about these things.

He admires the other person's abilities.

This is the number one young Turkic person that Bi Xuan mentioned.

Although the current timeline is still several years away from the original story, the two dragons are probably still eating steamed buns in Yangzhou.

Kedazhi has not yet received this title.

But the opponent's strength is already quite good.

In the original story, the three protagonists, Shuanglong and Bafeng Han, were protected by the protagonist's halo, and their strength increased exponentially due to a series of fortuitous encounters.

It was only in the later stages that he subtly surpassed Kedazhi.

This alone demonstrates the person's talent.

If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, it would be hard to say whether it would be "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" or "Da Tang Keda".

Of course, Gao Yi also knew that Ke Dazhi's appearance was not normal.

Kedazhi was an upright and magnanimous man who valued loyalty and righteousness. However, unlike Bafeng Han, he had a deep affection for the Turks and held their leaders in high esteem.

Compared to Ba Feng Han, who is closer to the martial arts world, Ke Da Zhi is more like a tough soldier.

In the original story, he was ordered by Jieli to join Li Jiancheng's Changlin Army.

Now that this person has appeared in his tribe, it goes without saying who is behind him.

Presumably, the arrival of Shibipai Tuli had alarmed this ambitious future Khan.

Shi Bi wanted to pave the way for his son, but Jie Li was clearly unwilling to see this happen.

I just didn't expect that the other party would send out Kedazhi directly.

However, after Kedazhi appeared, he did not show any signs of it.

They were meticulous in obeying his orders, just as if he were an ordinary man from a tribe he had conquered.

Gao Yi didn't expose him, and was happy to play dumb.

After all, why wouldn't you want a powerful subordinate for free?

As for Jieli's conspiracy.

Gao Yi didn't take it to heart. Although Ke Dazhi was very strong, it was wishful thinking for him to overthrow the entire tribe by himself.

He also didn't think that Jieli would have such thoughts.

The fact that the other side sent Da Kezhi to lie in wait was simply to target Tu Li.

They could either win him over, pass on messages, or deliver a surprise attack at a crucial moment.

Gao Yi didn't care which one it was.

After all, he had no intention of joining Tuli's side.

Intersecting with Tuli is simply for the sake of profit.

As long as there is a benefit, it doesn't matter whether it's from Tuli or Jieli.

On the contrary, the fact that the two of them came together made it easier for him to wait for a better price to sell.

Of course, these are all things for the future.

Gao Yi's current focus and vision are not on the grasslands and the Turks.

Jieli used the idea of ​​achieving his goal as a chess piece, and by placing his piece here, he actually pleased Gao Yi in a way.

As for who benefits from this move and what impact it will have, that depends on each player's ability to strategize and plan.

Gao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, feeling the gentle breeze.

Just then, I heard light footsteps behind me.

With Protector Bai gone, the only one who can get this close to him now is Bai Yue'er.

"What, have we had guests?"

Gao Yi chuckled and spoke.

"Yes, a guest requests an audience with the World Honored One," Bai Yue'er replied softly.

"After serving food and welcoming guests for so many days, someone has finally come to our door. That's great news."

"Which side is it?"

Gao Yi turned around, looked at Bai Yue'er, and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue'er did not answer, but simply shook her head gently.

"have no idea?"

Gao Yi let out a soft "hmm".

He knew, of course, that Bai Yue'er couldn't possibly be incapable of handling such a simple matter.

It was obvious that the other party did not introduce themselves, perhaps because they realized that Bai Yue'er was not in charge.

"Interesting? Such a big shot?"

Gao Yi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head again.

"Very well, since guests are visiting, we should still see them," Gao Yi said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

A few quarters of an hour later, inside the central tent.

A man with a broad forehead, large ears, and medium build, led by Bai Yue'er, came to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi's scrutinizing gaze immediately fell on this person.

The newcomer was clearly not from the Central Plains, and his appearance was not outstanding, or rather, somewhat ugly.

But compared to his appearance, this person's every move was remarkably elegant.

Raising the hand, lowering the arm, taking a step—every movement is aesthetically pleasing.

From this perspective, this person does not seem to be a foreigner from beyond the Great Wall, but rather a young master from a powerful family in the Central Plains.

"That's interesting."

A glint flashed in Gao Yi's eyes; with just one appearance, one could tell that this person was extraordinary.

"Greetings, Department Head. I apologize for my unauthorized visit and any disturbance caused."

The only title used was "Minister," which wasn't intentional on the other party's part.

Since migrating here, Gao Yi has not deliberately promoted the name of Maitreya, nor has he set up a flag to determine the name of the tribe.

Since the other party's appearance is unknown, the only appropriate form of address is "head of the department."

However, this also reveals that the power behind this person is not that strong.

"As a guest, it would be impolite to hide one's identity and act coy," Gao Yi said calmly.

Upon hearing Gao Yi's question, the newcomer smiled slightly and bowed again.

"It was my rudeness. I am Bai Ziting from the Sumo Jie tribe, and I greet the tribe chief."

He was slightly bowed, but his voice was clear and bright, and his back remained straight. Even when he was apologizing and bowing, there was an air of arrogance about him.

"The millet-horse, paying homage at the Purple Pavilion?"

Gao Yi was stunned. To be honest, he had thought that someone would come to his door, but he did not expect that the first person to appear would be this person.

This man was destined to become a powerful and influential figure.

"Indeed, I am the current leader of the Sumo Jie tribe," Bai Ziting replied in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Hehe, Sumo Jie tribe, may I ask whether you are Sumo or Jie?" Gao Yi asked with a light laugh.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ziting's face stiffened noticeably.

"You jest, Chief. Sumojie is Sumojie; how can they be separated?"

Although he was momentarily distracted, Bai Ziting quickly recovered and smiled.

"In that case, perhaps I am ignorant." Gao Yi did not press the matter further.
