"General Yu, Lord Eldest Sun, there is a Turkic tooth tent in front of you! The largest golden tent should be the camp king tent of the Khan of Qimin! Liu Wuzhou pointed to a very conspicuous golden tent in front of him.

The soldiers of the Sui army of the envoy regiment immediately burst into cheers, and after more than a month of long travel, they finally arrived at their destination and could take a good rest.

A team of more than 1,000 people is no small goal. Their arrival had long attracted the attention of the Turkic scouts, and soon someone had returned to report the news.

A moment later, a large group of Turkic cavalry arrived. At the front is a stout young man, this person is burly, although he is only about ten years old, but there is a thick hair under his chin, the roots are as thick as steel needles, he was born with thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, quite heroic, and looks as thick as an iron tower.

When they saw that the person who came was the Sui army, and the knight at the front was still holding the banner used by the envoys, they were relieved. It is known that this is the envoy corps of the Great Sui.

At this time, the knight pressed his hand to his chest and saluted: "The envoy from the Great Sui will stop for the time being!" May I ask you that you went to the Western Regions through our Turks? Or have you come to us as a guest? ”

He could also speak Chinese, which made Yu Ming slightly surprised. Because although there are many Turkic nobles who can speak Chinese, there are not many who are as young as him.

"Little Tuli, I didn't expect you to grow so tall! I don't know if you still recognize me? Eldest Sun Wuji walked to the front of the team at this time, smiled at him and said.

The young knight's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the eldest grandson's elder brother!" How could Tuli forget? You still taught me Chinese. Please come with me! I will bring you to the Khan of your father. ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji heard the words "Father Khan", his face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately asked: "Tuli, has the Qimin Khan passed away?" But why didn't I see you mourning? ”

As soon as Tuli said it, he actually regretted it a little, and realized that he had missed his mouth.

He hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Eldest Sun, my grandfather passed away a few days ago. Several uncles elected my father, Duji, as the new Turkic Great Khan, and called him Shibi Khan. However, in order to prevent the surrounding tribes such as Tiele, Xueyantuo, Khitan, and Western Turks, there was no public mourning. Now we have secretly informed the Turkic tribes to bring the tooth tent to see our father Khan. After the interior is completely stabilized, the public mourning will be held! ”

Yuming and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and both of them showed helpless expressions. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too slow, and the Khan of Qimin had already died of illness.

This time, the idea of trying to let Shumeng cure his illness and save the life of this pro-Sui Khan has failed. The envoys had to support the pro-Sui people and strive to make them the new khan.

Although the Turks said that Duji had been elected as the new Khan, this was actually only the decision of the current Turkic royal family, Ashina. In order for Duji to truly become the new Turkic Khan, he needs the support of several other ministers. In addition, even the Ashina Department did not disclose this decision to the public, and only notified the high-ranking nobles of the Ashina Department. So there are still variables.

Moreover, Yuming also believes that even if Du Ji has a bad feeling towards the Great Sui, in the face of interests and the throne, he may not necessarily choose to be hostile to the Great Sui. After all, if there is the support of the Great Sui, it will be more likely that he will sit on the throne of the Turkic Khan.

The Turkic horses were leading in front, and the 1,000 men and horses of the envoy group slowly followed him, and more than 5,000 Turkic cavalry followed on both sides and behind.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji Fang whispered to Yuming: "Ah Ming, this Tuli is the grandson of Dyeing, the son of Duji, he was raised by Princess Yicheng since he was a child, so the Chinese dialect is no different from the Central Plains, and he is also a rare pro-Sui person in the Turks." I had originally planned that if the real Ruji became the Turkic Khan could not be stopped, we would have to use the Turki relationship to see if we could win the independence of the Duji during our expedition to Goryeo. As long as we can suffer the destruction of Goryeo, even if the Eastern Turks want to attack our Great Sui in the south, we will not be afraid. ”

Yu Ming nodded after hearing this, and now he can only take one step at a time, and act when he sees the opportunity. Although the Qimin Khan has died, the situation has become a little unfavorable, but with the help of the Xue Yan Tuo Department, they also have some confidence. After all, there are also fifty or sixty thousand people who control the strings.

As they spoke, they had reached the gate of the Turkic Khan's tent, where several guards stopped them.

At this time, Tuli hurriedly stepped forward and spoke Turkic to these guards.

The guards nodded, signaling that they could go in, but pointed to the sabers of Yuming and the others, and then said a few Turkic words.

Tuli had no choice but to reluctantly say to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Brother eldest grandson, you have to leave your weapons before you can enter the account." ”

After hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and said, "The last time I came to you, the Qimin Khan had never had this rule?" ”

Tuli sighed and said, "This is a rule set by my father Khan, mainly because I am afraid that someone will assassinate me." Please forgive me for the eldest grandson and a few adults! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had to smile bitterly: "Okay! Let's give Shibi Khan a face! ”

With that, he untied his saber and handed it to Wei Chi Jingde beside him.

Yu Ming and Yu Chengdu also handed over their swords and swords to Guo Yi and Lin Mo to hold, and then walked towards the big tent with the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, the guards still did not allow them to enter, but let them in after passing through to make sure that they were not carrying weapons.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be a little angry at this time, thinking that the newly appointed Shibi Khan was much less daring than his old Qimin Khan. For fear that he would be killed, he had never been treated like this when he came to visit Qimin Khan with his father, Changsun Sheng.

After walking into the big tent, Yu Ming looked at it and saw a big man in his forties sitting on the tiger skin chair in the center. This person has a strong physique, a head as big as a bucket, eyes like copper bells, big hands and a wide mouth, and looks majestic.

It's just that because this person has a hooked nose, it gives people a somewhat gloomy and uncomfortable feeling.

On either side of him sat a large man who looked somewhat similar to him, slightly younger, only a little over ten years old, and he wore the animal skin that the Turkic nobles often wore wear. It should be the younger brother of the big man.

"Father Khan! The messenger of the Great Sui brought! At this time, Tuli stepped forward and saluted the big man sitting in the middle.

Needless to say, everyone can guess that he is Shibi Khan Duji. The last time the eldest grandson Wuji came to the Turks with his father and visited the Qimin Khan, he also saw him.

He bowed slightly, bowed to Shibi Khan, and said: "After many years of farewell, I didn't expect Qimin Khan to die of illness, which is really a sigh. However, Brother Duji succeeded his father and became the new Turkic Khan, which made the eldest grandson Wuji overjoyed, and congratulated the Great Khan first! ”

Shibi Khan's eyes lit up instantly, he stood up, and then walked over quickly, and warmly hugged the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Brother eldest grandson, Ling Zun had the grace to teach me back then, and he was a hero who supported my father to become a Turkic Khan! I'm a Ashina, and I can't forget Ling Zun's kindness! "Shibi Khan is unexpectedly very enthusiastic about the eldest grandson Wuji. This made Yu Ming, Yu Chengdu, and even the eldest grandson Wuji himself a little surprised.

At this time, Shibi Khan pointed to the man beside him: "You have already met my son Tuli, so I don't need to introduce you." This is my younger brother Jieli, and this time I was able to become Khan, and the support of my two younger brothers is indispensable. My other brother is out of town and will have to wait two days to come back for the funeral, and you won't be able to see him for the time being! ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, also greeted Jieli and several other Turkic nobles in turn. Immediately, he also introduced to the Turks present: "Honorable Khan, heroes of the Turks. The two people who traveled with me were both rising stars of my Great Sui, one was Yu Ming and the other was Yu Chengdu, and the two brothers made great achievements in the expedition to Goryeo. ”

"Fu surname Yu? But I don't know what the old general Yushu and the two are called? When Shibi Khan heard this, he was slightly surprised.

"That's the ancestor!" Yu Ming and Yu Chengdu made a gesture together.

"General Yu Lao is indeed old and strong, and he once led the army to help his father defeat the Western Turks. Killed the Khan Datou of the Western Turks, otherwise how would I have been peaceful in the Eastern Turks for more than ten years? Shibi Khan said with some emotion.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly at this time, and said angrily: "Brother Duji, we have been standing here for a long time, why don't we even take out the pot of mare's milk wine to entertain us?" This is not the hospitality of the Turks, is it? ”

Shibi Khan suddenly realized, nodded again and again: "What Brother Eldest Sun said is true!" I'll arrange it! ”

Immediately, the other party said to Tuli: "Tuli, you should arrange it immediately!" Treat our guests to the most sumptuous banquet! ”

After Tuli answered, he hurriedly went down.

The eldest grandson Wuji said at this time: "It will take some time to prepare for the banquet, and we want to see Princess Yicheng in this gap, I wonder if the Khan can arrange it?" ”

Shibi Khan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Of course you can!" It's just a trifle! ”

After that, he said to Jieli beside him: "Brother Jieli, you can lead a distinguished guest to the tent of Kedun!" She must be very happy to know that someone from the Sui Dynasty is coming! ”

Jieli nodded, and then walked to Yuming and the others, and said in a condensed voice: "Guest, please come with me!" ”

Then he walked out of the tent without looking back.

Yu Ming and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and then followed closely behind Jieli.

But Yu Cheng did not follow, he was left behind to command the thousand cavalry of the envoy corps, in case the Turks moved.
