After nightfall, two figures took advantage of the night and quietly entered Rui's tent.

The north wind has risen in Chang'an, and the grassland is already covered with snow.

The man was dressed in a heavy robe, with a hood on his head, the brim of which was pressed very low, casting a shadow on his face, which could not be distinguished, except for a pair of eyes that shone brightly and with an aggressive brilliance.

"What can he reward you?" A pampered hand came out of his wide sleeve, and he casually flipped through the objects on the next few cases, and sneered, "It's much better than what I gave you after I left you alone in the tent to talk." Seemingly...... You're right, but Hordon doesn't have any kindness to you! You were beaten because you were rewarded, and then you were rewarded so much, lest you not be killed? ”

"But what's strange to me is that the two of us don't seem to have any good looks for you, do we? In contrast, at least you have not been short of eating and drinking, occasionally feeling better, and rewarding......" The other man did not touch those things, but only asked coldly, "Why do you want to betray Hordon instead?" ”

Ah Rui's face still had the traces left by the beating just now, and when she heard the words, she showed a sad look and said, "For a person like me, what can't be betrayed? It's just that I just want to live a better life! ”

"Just now that He Dun has raised your identity, she is already the official concubine of the Khan, not a nameless slave girl." The man who was fiddling with the object let out a mocking laugh again, and said, "Aren't you alive enough?" You're just a Mu slave girl, you're too ambitious, and you won't live long! ”

"Identity?" Ah Rui also smiled sarcastically and said, "Even if it is as noble as Ke Hodun, if he dies, there will be nothing!" Isn't it? ”

"Huh?" The visitor glanced at each other, a little puzzled by what she meant, "Do you suspect that Ke Hotun has murderous intent towards you?" It's a joke, but if Horton wants to kill you, do you still need to pretend to be a good person? Don't think that you have done some insignificant service in front of the Khan, that is, the guarantee of your life! You must know that Ke Hedun and the Khan's young husband and wife, deeply respected by the Khan, slow to say that you have no foundation, or the concubine of the Mu people, that is, we were born in the neighboring department of Lu, and we are brothers who have been like each other since they were young, and there is such a relationship, in front of the Khan, there is no comparison with her! ”

"If only Hordon wants to destroy you...... Hint privately, believe it or not, you definitely won't see the prairie of tomorrow? ”

Just sneered, "In the middle of the night, don't waste time!" You are mysterious, ask us over, what do you want to do, just tell us honestly! If there are any suggestions for construction, just pay it back! We don't like you, but we don't skimp on rewards! If it is a pastime for us...... Hmph, I thought you were raised by Ke Hedun, and we couldn't help you?! ”

"My safety, the two of you probably won't care too much, so let's not talk about it for now." Ah Rui said slowly, "I asked the two of you to come over quietly at this time, but I want to remind you: the safety of you and your heirs is just imminent!! ”

"You dare to curse us?!" The person who came was immediately furious!

"What does the Khan's handwritten letter say, but He Dun has just been read to us!" Ah Rui sneered, not afraid, and said quickly, "What is the meaning in it, what does it mean to the two and two heirs, don't you two count it in your heart?!" ”

He also said, "And although the Khan's friend was a friend of the Khan's youth, Tuluti went out with the Khan to conquer the country of Mu before he was in Lifa, and he fell into it!" Life and death are unknown so far! Earlier, when the Khan planned to use troops against the western frontier of the Mu State, the Mizhen County King of the Mu State at that time had sent a letter to the Khan, threatening the lives of Tulu Ti Lifa and others, asking the Khan to stop the march, but the Khan refused! ”

"The Khan swore to the wives and children of Tulu Tili that he would give them a good compensation!"

When Ah Rui said this, he said slowly, "Do you believe such nonsense? As the Ruru clan, the reason why the neighboring tribe of Tonglu has a special relationship with the Khan is nothing more than because Tulu Ti is powerful! ”

"Now that the Khan can even give up Tulu Ti Lifa himself, let alone this tribe?"

"Ruru Khan has always been defensive and covetous of the big clans in Ruru."

"Of course, the Khan swore in public to compensate Tulu Ti Lifa's wife and children, if the Lu neighbors followed and something went wrong in the hands of the Khan, then even if the Khan couldn't do it, the Khan's face would not be good!"

"But now it's different, now the Khan is personally conscripted abroad, and the country is presided over by the eldest prince, and he is the auxiliary government of Ke Hodun!"

"Khodun also got permission from the Khan to act cheaply......"

"If I give you two and your two heirs at this time, what heinous charges will I make...... Turning back, it was logical to go back to the neighboring tribes of Tonglu, and when it was over, the Khan would give Tulu Ti Lifa's wife and children an amnesty...... Whether it is the annexation of the neighboring tribes of Lu to Monaro or to the Khan, how good is it for the Khan and Khatun? ”

Rui laughed briskly, "You two, do you still think I'm entertaining you?" ”

The people who came were silent, but their chests fluctuated sharply, indicating that their hearts were not at peace.

After a long while, the person who had been playing with the reward sent by the Mona Lou clan said in a dumb voice: "Are you Mu people so good at sowing discord? The relationship between the Khan and Turuti is not at all what people like you who can only fight in the nest can imagine! He would never do such a robbery to the neighboring troops of Tong Lu! Otherwise, how could the Monalo clan tolerate us all these years? ”

"Today is different from the past, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will change!" Ah Rui sneered and said, "Of course, Khan and Tulu Ti Lifa had a deep relationship earlier, and it is not too much to say that it is a lifelong friendship! But since he gave up Tulu Ti Lifa in order to attack Mu and eradicate the king of Mizhen County in order to attack Mu Guo and eradicate it, why can't he kill Lu Lin for the sake of his own heirs? ”

"How can a person who has sat on the throne of the Khan have the same ideas as when he was a courtier?!"

"Don't forget General Zhou of Mu State!"

"The name of this person, presumably even if the two of you have been on the grassland, you should know about it, right?"

"When he was alive, he made great contributions, but in terms of official position, he was only from the third grade, and he didn't get a knighthood until he died!"

"That's it, the court is still worried that he will rebel, fabricate charges, and behead all over the house!"

"And what about Ruru?"

"Although Yu Jiulu is a royal family, he is in Lu Lin, Monaro, Afugan, and Xuanwu...... Who of these tribes didn't follow the first Khan of Yu Jiulu?! ”

"To put it mildly, with the strength of the Lu Lin and other tribes, if it is weakened for a long time, it is not impossible to replace it!"

"The imperial dynasty of the Central Plains, in recent generations, has not appeared outside the royal family, and it can hold military power for a long time, even several generations and more than ten generations!"

"If you are high, your power must be limited; If the power is great, the status must not be high! ”

"This is the experience that their emperor summed up!"

"Before the former Khan Dengchen Liyu died, what he wanted was to ensure that his blood and bones could inherit the throne smoothly!"

"The hearts of fathers in this world are all the same!"

"Didn't the Khan think so?"

"Don't forget, the current Khan of ours knows the Mu State best, and speaks the official language of the Mu State more fluently than many Mu people!"

"How could the Khan, who cared so much about the Mu State, not learn from their emperor's methods of restraining his subordinates?"

"The most important thing is that Khan suffered a loss at the hands of his predecessor Khan Dengchen Liyu when he was a teenager, and now he lets Ke Hedun do it, obviously he doesn't want his heirs to have infighting!"

"It's just that for the Khan, his son-in-law and concubines are his flesh and blood, even if he attaches importance to his son-in-law, he didn't say that he definitely wanted his son-in-law to die."

"But for Khedun...... The sister-in-law is her own child, and the other princes and princesses, such as the two heirs, are a threat to her! ”

"After all, who called the two people who were born in the neighboring department of Lü, even if the Khan did not attach importance to the heirs of the two, if the two of them, and the neighbors of Lü behind the two of them, thought about it, they could still contribute and support them to do something?"

"I don't know what step Ke Ho Dun will take, but I know that the concubines of Mu Guo have done everything in order to fight for their children's positions!"

Ah Rui said this in one breath, picked up the pottery bowl, but soon because he felt that the water was already cold, he reluctantly put it down, licked his dry lips, and continued, "If you two think I'm alarmist, why don't you send me to see Ke Hodun?" ”

The visitor was silent, this time for a longer time.

After a while, the person who had not touched anything slowly spoke up and asked, "You are a slave girl of the Mu people, although we look down on you, but it is precisely because of this that the Khan's precautions, and the threat that Ho Dun thinks, will not include you." Why do you take the initiative to mix such troubled waters? ”

"What do you want from us?"

"Or rather, what is your purpose?"

“…… If I say that my purpose is what I just said, I want to live well. Rui pondered for a moment and said, "You must not believe it. But the truth is, I want to live well! ”

She raised her head, looked directly at the other party's eyes hidden under the hood, and said in a deep voice, "I am a soft-spoken person and a humble identity, even if I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Khan, it is actually limited to the improvement of my situation in the future...... After all, the Khan has no shortage of heirs at all, not to mention a child with half Mu blood, this child is destined to have nothing to do with the Khan, and it is unknown whether he will be recognized and accepted by his brother in the future! ”

"So whether the Khan doesn't like the siblings vying for the throne, or the Khorton doesn't want anyone to threaten the eldest prince, he won't target him!"

"But...... I'm scared of being a target myself! ”

The visitor glanced at each other again, as if he raised his eyebrows, and his laughter was full of ridicule: "You? You're worse than your child! After all, at least half of your children belong to the blood of the Khan, and what are you counting? ”

Ah Rui looked at them, smiled strangely for a while, and said slowly: "You two, I never thought that if Ke Hedun wanted to eradicate the threat of you and your heirs, and also implicate the neighboring tribes of Lu, the most likely crime to use?" ”

The person who came was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "The battle of the king's tent, back and forth, is just a few hands, nothing more than planting blame or something......"

"It also depends on what happens!" Ah Rui unceremoniously interrupted her words and said, "Now that the Khan is handsome, the country is empty, and the Khan has not been on the throne for a long time, and Dengchen Liyu's manpower has not been completely eradicated!" But if Hordun made any big moves under such circumstances, even with the connivance of the Khan, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not cause any big turmoil and delay the war on the front line! ”

"And Khan is interested in Khordun's biological flesh and blood inheritance, delaying Khan's career at this time is tantamount to affecting the future of her children, Khatun will not allow such a thing!"

Her face was frosty, "So, in this case, the best choice is to limit the crime to family matters!" ”

"In this way, we can ensure that the crime is grand enough, but the attack is within the control of Ke Hodun, and there will be no unexpected turmoil!"

"Family matters?" The tone of the person who came was a little suspicious, and he was thinking.

But before they could think about it, Ah Rui had already said the answer meaningfully: "For example, the concubine of the indecent father Khan? It's not that I'm boasting, but Khan is not beautiful, and he hasn't accepted anyone in recent years, and now the youngest and most beautiful person in the tent is me! ”

"I'm still a concubine with no foundation and no backer, and a Mu female slave!"

"Drag me into the water, and you don't even need to think about who will be dissatisfied and retaliated!"

"Originally, I was not pregnant, and when such a thing happened, you and the relatives and elders behind you can still persuade the Khan and Ke Hedun, but it is just a Mu female slave who doesn't matter."

"I'm pregnant at this time, but He Dun also specifically mentioned my position as the official concubine of the Khan!"

"In this case, if the princes are suspected of being rude to me again, Horton will be furious and demand severe punishment...... Isn't it a matter of course? ”

"Oh, by the way, the two of you brought people over in public today to snatch the reward of Ke Hodun, and beat me, this point, near the king's tent, inside and out, is in the eyes!"

"So what kind of actions did the two heirs make when they turned around, but what else can He Dun say is to help you...... Even the motives are ready-made! ”

"You say, how can I not save myself?!"

Seeing the two figures leave in a hurry, a hint of pride flashed in Rui's eyes, but then he sighed a little tiredly, and was about to get up and go to the tent to clean up, but in a shadow of the tent, where the oil lamp could not shine, a hoarse voice suddenly came: "Are you sure they will believe your nonsense?" ”
