The Frontier Years Chapter 72 Escort
Bo Eryan was overjoyed when she heard this, today is her birthday, not to mention that she has a good impression of Lei Shaoxuan, so she naturally will not refuse.
"Brother, my sister already has a man, otherwise I will definitely marry you!" Bolyan joked, "However, my sister will definitely help you find a beautiful wife." ”
As he spoke, Bo Eryan took off a gold necklace around his neck and hung it up for Lei Shaoxuan with his own hands.
"In the future, you will also be my brother. The more Bolyan looked at Lei Shaoxuan, the more he liked it.
"Drink, toast to the warriors. Bolxiong looked at Lei Shaoxuan, a little envious, jealous and hateful, and shouted: "Even men don't get drunk and don't return." ”
"Brother, why did you give ten beauties to Bolyan?" On the way home, Timulan couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, you don't want these ten beauties, I want it, but I can't afford it. Lei Shaoxuan said depressedly.
"Huh?" Timulan suddenly realized, laughed, and trembled.
The assassination incident gradually subsided, Lei Shaoxuan cautiously inquired for a long time, but there was no new news, all the news was that the assassins had all been arrested and crucified on the side of the road outside the city, and Yelu Chutian had also stepped down as the commander of the border army and returned to the royal capital.
The time to leave has come, and now Lei Shaoxuan only needs a reason to leave, but this reason is not easy to find.
Lei Shaoxuan likes his current life, calm and warm, everyone is very good to him, especially Ah Xiang and Timuran.
In Tianxiang Pavilion, Lei Shaoxuan was loved by Ah Xiang as a lonely child who survived the tribe, and asked for warmth, for fear of wronging himself.
After the banquet beauty incident, Timulan regarded him as his own brother, and liked to discuss everything with him, it seems that women like to have someone to talk to.
The other guys in the shop also liked this hard-working, studious, and uncaring boy.
This made Lei Shaoxuan hesitate, if they didn't say goodbye, they should be more worried, how disappointed and sad they should be to know the truth.
Lei Shaoxuan did not have much sense of belonging to the Northern Wei Dynasty. When he was still a death row prisoner, he struggled to survive by fighting, and it didn't matter who he killed, he killed both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Hu people, so it didn't matter to Lei Shaoxuan whether he belonged to the Northern Wei camp or not, the death row prisoner was an outcast.
Killing for the Northern Wei Dynasty or for the Hu people has no meaning for Lei Shaoxuan, the only meaning of death row prisoners is to survive, which makes Lei Shaoxuan especially value people who are good to him, this is the only thing he has.
Therefore, Lei Shaoxuan regarded Tianxiang Pavilion as another home, and cherished Ah Xiang and Timulan in his heart. Lei Shaoxuan had to think about how to leave so that he wouldn't let them suspect and wouldn't hurt them.
Lei Shaoxuan could only wait for the opportunity slowly.
A piece of news made Lei Shaoxuan vaguely see hope, and this news was related to Timuran.
Timulan had studied in a sect in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there was a teacher who particularly liked her, for some reason, a few years ago Timulan returned to the grassland and opened a spice shop in Lucheng - Tianxiang Pavilion.
There is a saying among the Hu nobles that Timuran's most powerful skill is actually medical skills, but no one has ever seen Timulan make a move, so they can't be sure whether the legend is true or false. Timulan only made a few shots, but he took out a medicine with extremely miraculous effects to save people.
Timulan was born noble, a tribal concubine, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, skin like condensed fat, and beautiful as a fairy in the eyes of the Hu people, so it became a fragrant bait for courtship in various tribes.
Timuran's tribe is weak, there was a great khan in the tribal nobles who were born in disregard of face, want to occupy Timuran by force, legend has it that Timuran's teacher forced into the palace for this matter, in front of many nobles, slapped the khan a few times, no one dared to bully Timulan again, the nobleman was found a reason by the khan to cut directly, in order to make up for Timuran, the khan canonized Timulan as a princess.
Lei Shaoxuan thought that the legend was just a rumor, after all, Timulan never mentioned the title of princess.
On this day, a team of people suddenly came to Tianxiang Pavilion, led by Tuoba Ye, the second son of the city lord and the husband of Bolyan, followed by a tall young warrior, wearing a yellow military uniform, with a wolf head and a flag embroidered on his chest, which was the symbol of the Great Khan's palace guards, the Golden Horde.
The Golden Horde Guard was the Great Khan's personal guard, in addition to this young warrior, Lei Shaoxuan found that there were more than twenty Golden Horde Guards guarding the door of Tianxiang Pavilion, these guards were all burly, handsome, and the same height of the samurai.
Lei Shaoxuan pursed his lips, remembered his master Zhang Qing, and scolded in his heart: "Phew, they are all the same stinky beauty as their master Zhang Qing, but in fact, they are all silver rod wax gun heads."
The young man at the head said to Timuran: "Princess Timuran, please let the left and right retreat, there is something important to tell the princess." ”
The rest of the people had already retreated, only Lei Shaoxuan was by his side, Timulan waved his hand and said, "No need, if you want me to participate, my brother can also participate." ”
The young man hesitated for a moment, took out a golden arrow, held it in his hand, took a step back, and knelt down on one knee.
"The Great Khan's Golden Horde's first-class guard Abdul Qinri, on the Great Khan's Golden Arrow Edict, informed Princess Timulan as follows: The Great Khan is seriously ill, and Princess Timulan is requested to leave for Dadu immediately and go to Dadu for treatment. ”
Timulan really has the title of princess, it seems that the rumors are true, Lei Shaoxuan was a little surprised. However, the flag of Tianxiang Pavilion has a wolf totem, and Tianxiang Pavilion is highly respected among the Hu nobles, so it is not surprising to think about it.
Timuran was slightly nervous on her face, her hands were clenched, and there was a strange expression on her face, as if she had known the news for a long time.
"The medicine needed for the sweat is not yet available, and it will take a few days. Timulan hesitated.
"The Great Khan's condition cannot be delayed, and there are all kinds of medicines in the palace of the capital, so please ask Princess Timulan to leave as soon as possible. ”
Although he was young, his face was weathered, a little haggard, and his eyes were resolute, revealing a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
"I know very well what is in the palace storehouse, and there is no medicine for the Great Khan. ”
Timulan shook her head, her voice was calm, without any emotion, and she couldn't tell if the shirk was really something.
"The royal capital is only a few days away from here, even if the medicinal herbs that are not available in the palace can be sent to fetch them, or the princess will go first, and leave someone to deliver the medicine. Abdul Qinri pleaded, "The Great Khan's illness cannot be delayed for a moment, please let the princess leave for treatment as soon as possible." ”
"Don't be so hasty. Tuoba Ye said suddenly.
"Why?"
Lei Shaoxuan asked a little abruptly.
On this occasion, there was no opportunity for Lei Shaoxuan to speak, but Lei Shaoxuan heard some unusual flavor from Tuoba Ye's words, and he was a little worried about Timuran.
"It was too hasty to guarantee that Princess Timulan would reach the royal capital safely. ”
In one sentence, Timulan was silent, obviously expecting something.
"The Great Khan has anticipated this, and has specially sent twenty-four Golden Horde guards, and I want to see who dares to provoke the wolf and defend the tiger's beard. ”
Hearing this, Abdul Qinri was full of pride.
Among the Xihu warriors, the strongest is naturally the Golden Horde Guard.
Twenty-four Golden Horde guards were dispatched at one time, which shows the importance that the Great Khan attaches to this matter. You must know that in the past, there were at most one or two wolf guards who sent orders to various tribes.
Abdul Qinri believed that his twenty-four guards could be more than enough to escort Timulan to Beijing safely.
Those who can become wolf guards are carefully selected Hu warriors, and after brutal training and elimination, wolf guards are the wolves of the grassland, and martial arts can naturally crown the grassland.
It is impossible for a team of hundreds of people to attack the wolf guard on the grassland, and no tribe can tolerate a team of hundreds of people on their territory unless they want to rebel. Therefore, with the twenty-four wolf guards in his hands, it is enough to sweep through the team of 100 people, and there is no problem in rushing out among thousands of troops.
It is better to be careful, Abdul Qinri thought for a while, and said, "But since Brother Tuoba said so, for the sake of safety, please send fifty warriors to accompany the Tuoba City Lord." ”
"Who didn't let my sister go to Dadu to see a doctor for the Great Khan?" After Abdul Qinri and Tuoba Ye left, Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but ask.
"It's Xidan Yu Yale Chutian, the younger brother of the Great Khan. ”
Lei Shaoxuan's heart tightened, and said: "Is it Yale Chutian, the commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty? He has an army under his command, if he doesn't want his sister to go to Dadu, with those twenty-four fools and fifty horsemen from Tuoba Ye, can he safely escort Sister Ah to the royal capital?"
Timulan looked at Lei Shaoxuan in surprise and said, "Fool?"
"Standing at the door of Tianxiang Pavilion, his body is straight, like a stake, isn't he a fool? As for the warriors in the city lord's mansion, against the border army, they are also considered horsemen. ”
Lei Shaoxuan was a little unimpressed.
In Lei Shaoxuan's eyes, the wolf guard has a straight body, a rigid position, and a handsome and beautiful figure, which is obviously deliberately trained.
Maybe the wolf guards' combat effectiveness is amazing, but Lei Shaoxuan can see at a glance that these wolf guards have not been on the real battlefield, and they do not have the sharpness and recklessness that they have been baptized on the cruel battlefield. When such a stereotypical person goes to the battlefield, most of them will inevitably react stereotypedly, often dying in the battle between life and death, and in the eyes of the masters, these people are just fools and masters.
I don't know where Wolf Guard's confidence comes from, Lei Shaoxuan, who has participated in special training, clearly knows that the real danger comes from inadvertent outbursts, and only those who have participated in real battles and experienced countless emergencies can understand it.
Timulan didn't know that Lei Shaoxuan's vision was so high, and he hesitated a little: "Their strength should be enough to escort us to the royal capital safely, right?" Even Yelu Chutian can only appear in small groups of men and horses to assassinate them, and they dare not blatantly dispatch large groups of people and horses, and the tribes along the way do not allow a large group of unidentified people and horses to appear on their ground, otherwise it will be a rebellion. Yelu Chutian did not dare to rebel yet. ”
"Why didn't Yelu Chutian let you see the Great Khan? If he wanted to stop you from going to Dadu, how determined would you be? Or if you cured the Great Khan, what would be the consequences?"
Lei Shaoxuan asked word by word.
He is not clear about the internal affairs of the Hu people, but he is no stranger to the details of the formulation of the assassination mission, he has been specially trained, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an expert. His question goes straight to the core.
Timulan was stunned when she heard this, she rarely cared about this, even if she was on the road, the escort matters were to be worried about by others, and she didn't need to bother.
Lei Shaoxuan's question vaguely made her worried.
"Yelu Chutian originally supported the second son of the Great Khan, Yelu Dailiang, and offended the eldest son Yelu Daishan. Unexpectedly, Yelu Dailiang was assassinated and died, and now Yelu Dailiang is the best agent in China. ”
Timulan frowned and said: "Dai Shan's reign is not long, the foundation is not stable, if the Great Khan dies, there will be civil strife in the country, Yelu Chutian has an army in hand, and he will be able to compete with Dai Shan." If the Great Khan recovered or improved, Dai Shan would have more time to stabilize the affairs of the court and subdue the tribal forces behind Dai Liang, and Dai Shan stabilized the situation in time, and the first thing he did was to get rid of Yelu Chutian. Whether the Great Khan can live longer is very important to stabilize the situation, and it is also a matter of life and death for Yelu Chutian. ”
Although Timulan did not care about current affairs, she often went in and out of the wealthy families of the Hu people, and these domestic trends were not a secret to her.
The Great Khan was seriously ill and dying, and the various tribes in Lucheng must choose their own sides, and Timulan didn't care about these at first, but the Great Khan's illness dragged his fate into a whirlpool.
