Chapter 139: Turkic Princess
γγγγγγγγγγ
Yu Ming was a little strange in his heart, why didn't the guards at the door react at all? Today should be Guo Yi's arrangement of the guards of the envoy camp, how did this guy do things?
"My name is Ashina Dongli, and Tuli is my brother!" She said with a smile on her face, innocent and lively. Such a pure and lovely girl, it is difficult for anyone to harden their hearts to her. Yu Ming somewhat understood why his guards would let her in.
However, he suddenly came back to his senses at this time and said in surprise: "You are Tuli's sister?" Isn't your father a duji...... Shibi Khan? β
"Yes! After my grandfather died a few days ago, my father inherited the throne of Khan......" Ashina Dongli nodded, and then said with some sadness: "After my father became a khan, he became very busy, and often got angry and threw things!" Originally, I was his most distressed daughter, but now he doesn't come to see me anymore......"
Yu Ming didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only enlighten her: "Ashina Dongli, your father is not only the head of the family, but also the head of a Turkic country, and he has to face twice as many problems and difficulties than before. Maybe when he's busy for a while, he can squeeze out more time to spend with you! β
As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but secretly laugh that he would actually help Lu Ji speak.
Ashina Dongli pouted at this time and said: "General Yu, don't call me by my full name, it sounds awkward, my father and brother, as well as the people in the family all call me Dongli, you can also call me like this!" β
"Alright! I'll call you Dongli! You don't need to call me a general, just call me Yuming! Yu Ming also said casually.
"I don't dare to call you by your name, you are the young hero of the Great Sui!" Dongli frowned, and then said: "You are already sixteen years old, and I am only fourteen years old, so it is better to call me Brother Tuli like that, and I will also call you Brother Ming!" β
"Okay! That's what my sister Yuqing called me! Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart that he had come to the Turks and had an extra sister. It's just that although this Dongli is a Turkic girl, she speaks really smooth Chinese, and it seems that she should also be influenced by her grandfather Qimin Khan and her brother Tuli, who admires and likes the heroes of the Sui Dynasty and the Sui people very much.
And his victory in the duel with Gaisu last night can be regarded as a big show at the dinner party, and there were many Turkic nobles watching the battle around at that time, and this Dongli should be one of them.
The two chatted for a while, and Yu Ming realized that this Dongli was really as pure as a blank piece of paper, and he didn't know what the world was sinister, and he didn't know how Du Ji raised his daughter, and he actually trained his daughter to be so pure.
If Dong Li is the daughter of an ordinary small family, it doesn't matter, maybe she can still be liked by her husband's in-laws. But she is a Turkic princess, and her future life is destined to be much more complicated than ordinary people. If she continues to be so naΓ―ve, it will not be a good thing for her. I'm afraid that someone will sell it, and I'm still helping that person count money. Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart.
When he was thinking nonsense, Guo Yi suddenly walked in, and then bowed down and said, "General, the dream girl said that she has something urgent to see!" β
"Then don't let her in!" Yu Ming said angrily and funny: "Yi, I said are you confused? β
"Am I confused?" After Guo Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Yu Ming walked quickly to him, and then lowered his voice and said, "Miss Shumeng is her own person, and you know the report when she comes to me." But this princess ......"
At this time, he pouted at Dong Li's back and said, "How did you let her in?" How dare I entrust you with the defense of the camp if such a big living person can slip in from under your nose? β
"This ......" Guo Yi scratched his head and said: "I see that this little princess looks so beautiful and cute, she doesn't look like a bad person, and she was personally sent by Tuli, saying that she is his sister, and I want to discuss it with you...... I remembered that when I was listening to the perfume pavilion last year, you said that you and Yin Fei had been communicating for a long time......"
With that, he made an expression that all men understood, and then grinned with an innocent smile.
Only then did Yu Ming understand, it turned out that Guo Yi thought of those aspects crookedly. Thinking that Tuli sent his sister to his bed, it was no wonder that he would not stop it. I'm afraid most of them thought that letting this princess in was to please themselves.
"Yi, what are you not, but you went to listen to the perfume pavilion and had a bad heart! And it's used on your general! Yu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded: "A pure and lovely little beauty like Dongli, you can also think of it crookedly, it seems that I will only punish you with eighty military sticks!" β
When Guo Yi heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Eighty military sticks come down, doesn't my little Guo's ass bloom?" General, you have to think about it, I'm a wounded and I don't have anyone to help you guard the camp! β
After that, he said in a panic: "I'm going to call Miss Shumeng in, you can have a good talk!" β
As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi's figure had already arrived outside the tent, for fear of being stopped by Yuming.
Yu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, it seems that this little won't work if he doesn't beat it a few times, and if he continues to indulge like this, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause himself.
At this time, Shu Meng had already walked in quickly, and her beauty made Dong Li stunned, she never dreamed that she would meet such a beautiful woman.
"Brother Yu, I can confirm it now! The Khan of Qimin was indeed poisoned! The first sentence of the dream surprised both Yuming and Dongli.
"Dream Girl, why do you say that?" Although Yu Ming had suspected it as early as when he was in the Xue Yan Tuo Department, he did not dare to make such an assertion until he got the evidence.
And Dong Li was even more dumbfounded when she heard it, and she even exclaimed: "It turns out that your name is Shumeng, and your name is so good...... But Sister Shumeng, why do you think my grandfather was poisoned? Everybody said he was sick and dead! If he really died of poisoning, do you know who poisoned him? β
Shumeng glanced at Dongli at this time, and said in a sweet voice: "You are Tuli's sister Dongli, right?" I've heard him mention you and say you're the most beautiful flower on the prairie. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. β
When Dong Li was told by her, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and said shyly: "Sister Shumeng smiled, Dong Liang only has a slight willow posture, and it is really difficult to reach my sister'......s back."
Speaking of this, she asked impatiently again, "Sister Shumeng, can you tell me how my grandfather died?" β
Shu Meng sighed lightly, then glanced at Yu Ming, and Fang Ning said: "Last night, at the banquet, a young Turkic nobleman came to me, saying that I was one of the two doctors with the best medical skills in the Sui Dynasty, and I was originally here to help Qimin Khan treat his illness this time, but I was unexpectedly a step too late......"
At this point, she paused, then continued, "You must have guessed who this young Turkic nobleman is. He called himself Turki, the new Khan of the Turks. Tuli told me that a few days before the death of Qimin Khan, two attendants who had been serving his grandfather had died with the same symptoms as Qimin Khan. So, he was worried that his grandfather's illness was a plague that would spread to other people. Want me to check it out......"
"It just so happens that, according to Turkic customs, the deceased has to be buried, for six days. And Qimin Khan is only the fourth day of his death today, and the body is still in the mourning hall. So, I went with Tuli to check it out. However, it turned out that the symptoms of Qimin Khan were the same as those of the leader of the Xue Yantuo Department. And the toxin of the Black Evil Pills was also found in his body......" Lyric sighed.
Yu Ming reacted immediately, and he immediately said: "Then it seems that the person who poisoned Qimin Khan should also be the person who poisoned Qi Jin?" β
Shu Meng nodded and said: "It should be so, if it is two people, they can't be so coincidental, the poison is all selected as the Black Evil Urging Pill, and it is used at the same time, and the toxicity is about the same." β
Yu Ming took a deep breath, then turned to Dong Li and asked, "Miss Dong Li, can you remember that a month ago, in addition to what he usually eats, did your grandfather attend any banquets or eat food from others?" β
Dong Li thought carefully for a moment, Fang Liu frowned and said, "My grandfather didn't seem to have eaten anything extra during that time, and he has always lived a normal life......
"Oh, I remember! Grandpa had gone to attend some engagement ceremony held for his son by Tiele Ling Menghan a month ago, but the woman had been veiled and did not show her true face. It was only said that this was the custom of the woman's clan, and that it would be two months before the official wedding would be held, so that everyone could see the bride at that time......" Dong Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this time, and recalled the situation at that time.
Then she said with a hint of anger in her eyes: "My grandfather only began to feel weak in his limbs after returning from Tiele Ministry. We all thought he was getting old and weak. But now it seems that I am afraid that I will be poisoned at the engagement banquet of the Tiele Department! β
Yu Ming and Shu Meng glanced at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds: "I'm afraid that the person who poisoned him can't get rid of Meng Han of the Tiele Tribe, even if it's not Meng Han's poison, he must be the one who knows." β
And Yu Ming even thought that Tong Jin of the Xue Yantuo Department had also visited the Qimin Khan, and he was also poisoned after he came back. This poisoner is probably the one who assassinated the Khan of Qimin, and he must have considered that the Xuyantuo Department was not under his control, and if he was poisoned to death, it would inevitably be chaotic internally, and it would not be able to affect the change of power in the Eastern Turks in a short period of time.
"It's just that he shouldn't know that Qi Jin's illness has been cured by Shumeng." Yuming felt that this was the only thing to be thankful for.
