The Nalan grassland is nearly a thousand miles from east to west, hundreds of miles from north to south, the place where the tribe is located is close to the bottom of the mountain, and it is also seventy or eighty miles away from the place where Li Qi and they camped.

So Bo Ri Techi thought that it would be better to go and see it tomorrow morning, anyway, those people from the Iron Crane Department were in the camp, and it was not impossible to keep an eye on it.

So after he came out, he went to inquire, and the guard outside the Jinding tent replied that the people from the Iron Crane Department were receiving Ge Ritai, the special service, and Ge Ritai arranged someone to protect him.

Boritzena smiled, is that protection, isn't that surveillance, and Ge Ritai is his father.

Special service is a kind of official title of the steppe tribe, the status is very high, Ge Ritai is the younger brother of Nalan Khan, according to the cognitive habits of the Chu people, Nalan Khan is the emperor of this small country, and Ge Ritai is the prince.

Nalan Khan had no sons, only four daughters, so he had long ago said that the future throne would pass to Bozhi Tichena.

However, according to the custom inherent in the Nalan tribe, the Great Khan had no heirs, and the throne was supposed to pass to his younger brother Ge Ritai.

In the big tent.

Special agent Ge Ritai handed the special envoy of the Iron Crane Ministry, Za Chaleng, a glass of wine, and said with a humble smile: "Your Excellency, don't pay too much attention to Nalan Khan's words, he is just a little confused, and he has not yet figured out the advantages and disadvantages of this, give him some time, he will figure it out." ”

Zachalen said: "If you want me to say, this person who doesn't know the times to be Nalan Khan is a disaster for your Nalan tribe, you are much stronger than him, I have also seen it, and the people in the tribe also respect you." ”

Ge Ritai hurriedly said: "My brother is the khan of the Nalan tribe, and the entire grassland is his subject. ”

Zachalen said: "Then you don't want to be Nalan Khan?" ”

He approached Ge Ritai and said with a smile: "I have heard that your brother intends to pass on the throne to your son, the young man I met just now, he does not seem to be very smart, if he knows how to be humble, he will know that this throne should be yours." ”

Ge Ritai shook his head with a wry smile and did not speak.

Za Chalen said: "I brought six hundred warriors this time, if you want, I and the warriors I brought can obey your command, this is not for yourself, but for hundreds of thousands of Nalan tribes, you should know very well that if your Nalan tribe resists, the Iron Crane army will go south, and the first thing to fight is not the Chu people of the Central Plains, but your Nalan tribe." ”

Ge Ritai's eyes flickered visibly, and there was some fear in them.

Late at night.

Bozhitena was sleeping, when he was suddenly awakened by a cacophony of noises, he rubbed his eyes, and when he came out of the tent, he saw torches everywhere, and people everywhere.

"Something's wrong!"

Boritsuna asked, pulling a man.

The man replied, "Great Khan...... The Great Khan was killed. ”

Bozhi Tichi's face changed greatly, and he immediately rushed to the side of the golden-domed tent, and when he arrived, he saw that Nalan Khan's body was placed on a wooden shelf, and his father, the special agent Ge Ritai, was standing next to the corpse, talking about something in grief and indignation.

"I swear, I won't let those Chu people go!"

Gerritai roared angrily.

Bori Tichina immediately rushed over to ask what was going on, and Zacharen, who was standing beside his father, said gloomily: "A few Chu people sneaked in and assassinated Nalan Khan, or did my people find out and then hunt them down. ”

He pointed not far away, where there were five or six corpses lying on the ground.

Za Chalen said: "You should be able to recognize it, these are Chu people, it is they who assassinated Nalan Khan, this kind of blood feud, I believe that everyone in the Nalan Department will not pretend not to see it, you are also one."

Shape. ”

Bori Tichana ran to the side of the corpses and looked at them, and recognized that they were a few of the people in the caravan who came in this time, these people didn't know martial arts at all, how could they easily assassinate Nalan Khan?

The day before yesterday was the day when the Chu merchants were allowed to enter the pasture to trade, and there were about four or five hundred people who entered the pasture, and they brought a large amount of goods, and according to the custom, the transaction lasted for five days, and these Chu merchants would be asked to leave the pasture.

"Kill them all!"

Zachalen pointed into the distance, where hundreds of Chu people were tied up and kneeling, they kept pleading for themselves, but no one believed them.

With a shout from Za Chaleng, the soldiers of the Iron Crane Department under him immediately rushed over, slashing all the Chu people kneeling there to death one by one.

For a moment, it was bloody.

Zacharen said loudly: "Just killing these Chu people pretending to be merchants cannot be regarded as revenge for Nalan Khan, we must kill the Chu people and kill their officials, so as to avenge Nalan Khan." ”

Quite a few people have already been agitated, brandishing scimitars and shouting for revenge.

But believing that it was not so simple, he immediately looked back at his father, who was standing there, weeping at Nalan Khan's corpse.

Za Chalen said: "According to the rules of our steppe people, Nalan Khan has died, so the special service will inherit the position of Nalan Khan, and I now officially announce on behalf of the Great Khan of the Iron Crane Department that I will recognize Ge Ritai as the new Khan of the Nalan Ministry, and he will lead you to ride on horses and pick up scimitars, and go to take revenge on those Chu people!" ”

A young man under Bozhi Techi immediately shouted: "The death of the Great Khan has not yet been clarified, so let's find someone to inherit the throne first?!" And the Great Khan had already said that the throne of the Khan would be passed to Bozhi Tichina! ”

After he finished shouting, many people immediately shouted, and Nalan Khan had indeed said more than once that the future Khan would be Bori Tichena.

Zachareng strode over, raised the young man who was shouting with one arm, and he angrily rebuked, "Are you provoking conflicts between the Nalan tribes? Are you related to the murderer?! ”

The young man exclaimed, "I didn't! ”

"I think you have it!"

Zacharen threw the young man to the ground, drew his scimitar, and chopped off the man's head with a single sword.

"This person must be the spies of those Chu people!"

Zacharen said loudly: "The Iron Crane people are standing by Ge Ritai's side, if he is not the new Khan of the Nalan Tribe, then the Iron Crane people will definitely not agree, and they will immediately regard the Nalan people as enemies!" ”

Many people fell silent, and some people searched the crowd for the figure of Boritsechina, only to find that he had disappeared at some point.

In the middle of the night, Bozhitena galloped on a horse that had not had time to be saddled, and he chose to leave because the moment he looked at his father, he saw not only tears in his father's eyes, but other very complicated things.

He looked at the people around his father, some of whom were the highest-ranking chiefs of the clan, and those people must have known something.

If he had stood up to his father and Iron Crane's envoy at this time, he would probably have been like his men, even if his father was reluctant to kill him, he would have locked him up.

Nalan Khan treated him like his own son, and he couldn't let Nalan Khan die unjustly.

He didn't know who else he could trust, and it seemed that the friend he had just met was his only choice.

The night was so deep that standing outside the camp and looking at the grassland in the distance, it seemed that some huge beast was quietly approaching in the depths.

Brother Hanging Knife Gate

Jia Ruan was taken aback by his thoughts, he looked at the little junior brother who was sitting next to him and couldn't help dozing, raised his hand and rubbed it on the little junior brother's head.

"Go back to sleep."

Junior Brother Zhen Gen raised his head to look at him, and then shook his head stubbornly: "I will accompany Senior Brother to keep vigil." ”

It was Senior Brother's turn to be on duty tonight, and there was no him, but he felt that he should accompany Senior Brother.

"Go back quickly, if you sleep like this, you will catch a cold for a while, the climate here is much cooler than our Jingkou County at night."

The elder brother smiled, "Do you think I'll be scared?" ”

The little junior brother said, "Senior brother, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm not afraid."

The senior brother said: "I am the senior brother, the senior brother is the most courageous, there is nothing to be afraid of, the little junior brother will be afraid." ”

The little junior brother shook his head and said, "Senior brother is not afraid, I am not afraid, I am afraid...... Nor can it be said. ”

The elder brother laughed.

At this moment, he heard a faint voice coming from a distance, and he immediately stood up and looked at the grassland opposite, as if the unknown huge beast he had been afraid of before was rapidly pounced.

Half an hour later.

Tang Pidi looked at Li Qi, Li Qi knew what he meant, but he didn't want Tang Pidi to go, but he didn't say it because Tang Pidi would definitely go.

"It may be that I have lived on the grassland for a period of time, so I know them very well these grassland men, they said that we will be friends in the future, unlike us Central Plains people who just said this sentence when they were polite, I told them that I regarded them as friends, and it was also sincere."

Tang Pi said: "I said during the day, if there is anything that needs me in Bo Ri Tichi, even if he comes to me, I will definitely help him, do you know what the attitude of the grassland people is towards the agreement?" If the person is still alive, the agreement counts. ”

He got up and looked at Yu Jiuling: "Ninth sister, help me wear my armor." ”

Yu Jiuling looked at Li Qi, Li Qi slowly exhaled a breath, he got up and said, "People are still alive, and the agreement will count." ”

He opened his arms: "Help me get my armor pierced." ”

Yu Jiuling's eyes widened: "Your injuries are not healed yet." ”

Li Qi said: "Then not many people can beat me." ”

He looked at Jia Ruan, the senior brother of the Hanging Knife Gate who was standing on the side, and said, "The camp is here, please give it to you." ”

Jia Ruan straightened up and said: "The agreement that the grassland people said will not be easily changed, and the men of the Central Plains are the same, I promise you to protect your people, and the senior brothers who hang the knife gate will take their lives to protect it." ”

Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a day, if we don't come back, you take them to the nearest county seat." ”

Tang Pidi looked at Li Qi and shook his head and said, "You have to stay." ”

Li Qi said: "You are a friend of Borithena, but you have been my brother a long time ago. ”

He looked at the camp, a hundred warriors in armor and swords, sitting on their horses, ready to fight.

"You can not go!"

Don shouted loudly.

The hundred thugs looked at each other, then drew their knives and struck their breastplates with their long knives.

There were neat muffled sounds, like the sound of war drums.

Gao Xining stood in front of the horses of the hundred soldiers and said, "They can not listen to you, because they are my soldiers." ”

She looked back at the thugs and said loudly, "Go with them, bring them back, and give me a response the way I taught you!" ”

A hundred thugs shouted in unison.

"Whew!"
