(20) The family cannot protect the country, and it is difficult to take the lead
When Henna and Roda heard this, they hurried to the palace, and when they arrived at the council, in addition to the prince and ministers, Bassma and Fran were already there, and they were all just as strange when they saw each other. Henna, Bassma, and Feda finally had a ghost in their hearts, and when they saw this situation, their hearts rose to their throats.
As soon as King Loulan saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "I received an urgent report this morning, so I urgently summoned you." Something happened to the Otsuki clan. King Loulan's gaze turned to the princess: "Your Royal Highness Princess, your father, the king of the Dayue clan, has been assassinated and died." ”
Basma barely reacted to King Loulan's words, and was stupid for a while. All the people of the Otsuki clan were shocked there.
"This!" Luo Da muttered, "The King of the Great Moon Clan has passed away! How could it be! ”
"What the envoys of Loulan know is that General Wengu has passed away, and the Xiongnu have already harassed him, and he has planted assassins to poison the king of the Dayue clan, and the assassins were captured and finally found out the truth, and the Xiongnu thought that they would really take the Dayue clan."
Bassma couldn't hold back any longer, covered her face and cried, Feida looked heartbroken, but how dare she step forward to protect her. The people of the Dayue clan were very sad, but at this moment in the hall of Loulan, they couldn't speak disrespectfully, so they could only endure it.
"Princess, Loulan has sent someone to the Dayue clan to pick up the queen, just in case of accidents in the chaos." King Loulan continued.
Bassma whimpered, forgetting what to say even to thank you.
"Father, the Dayue clan is in a dilemma now, whether I Loulan will send troops to prevent the Huns from causing trouble!" Aledi said, and all the ministers also said yes.
"Your Majesty, the revenge of my Dayue clan must be avenged, can I take the soldiers of the Dayue clan to send troops to the Huns!" Henna said.
"The behavior of the Xiongnu is really unbearable, if the grassland follows suit, there will never be peace, and my Loulan will not stay out of it." King Loulan said: "General Curry, select Loulan's elite soldiers, fight together with the Dayue clan, and be sure to attack the Huns." ”
After receiving the order, Henna, Fran and Curry and other soldiers set out to fight, and Henna and Fran and all the soldiers of the Otsuki clan tied white ribbons on their heads and went on the road with hatred.
And the Empress of the Dayue Clan has also arrived in Loulan, and she is very sad to see Basma.
"No one could have imagined that it would be so sudden! God did not give us even the slightest sign of it, and when the Assassin saw that your father had fallen, he immediately wanted to take my life, but he took pity on my maid, and stabbed me several times before giving me a chance to live. The Empress of the Otsuki clan cried, only to hear Bassma burst into tears.
Empress Dayue continued: "Fortunately, you agreed to sacrifice yourself to marry in Loulan, and with this support, in exchange for Loulan's protection, you were able to protect the integrity of your mother." ”
Bassma shook her head slightly after hearing this: "I, there is no sacrifice. ”
"Now that the Dayue clan has no king, your uncle is in charge of Loulan, but it has damaged morale, and my mother can only rely on you and Loulan." Empress Dayue looked at her daughter: "Your father is relieved to see that everything is going well in Loulan." ”
Bassma has ten thousand words in her heart, and she can't say a single one at this moment. There have been countless times when Basima wants to tell his father that he is in love with the second prince of Loulan, not the king of Loulan, and asks his father to fulfill himself for his own happiness, but now, it is no longer possible.
Occasionally, Bassma will wonder if she is not a princess now, so if she is not a princess and is not worthy of King Loulan, is she just right to marry Feida? However, this can only be thought about, where can I dare to say it!
Henna and Fran have finally returned to their homeland, but things are not people. With the death of General Wengu, the servants were dismissed, but within a few months, the palace was already covered with dust, the flowers and trees had turned yellow because they had not been watered, and the weeds were stubbornly spreading in the house. The tree that accompanied the two of them is still there, but it is sad to look at it. Henna seemed to think that her father was standing by the window and watching her practice swords, after all, she was just sighing.
When I arrived in the palace, even though there was a new king, I had just finished a major event, and even the guards and servants had lost all their spirits.
"Xiongnu, harm my king of the Dayue clan, I must pay it back!" Henna secretly swore that she had sorted out some relics, among which General Wengu's sword and the seal of the King of the Otsuki clan were cherished by Henna. After a little trimming, he agreed with General Curry to have a grand funeral in the country, and invited all the departments of the grassland, and took advantage of the fact that the outside thought that the Dayue clan was in mourning, and took the elite troops to attack the Xiongnu.
The generals of the Dayue clan were angry, and the opponent was not prepared, so they had the upper hand, and they wanted to smash the royal court, but they also knew that the time was wrong, killed their important generals, captured the prince, and forced the Xiongnu to sign a document to promise the grassland tribes that they would not harass the grassland tribes for ten years, and at the same time pay the losses to the Dayue clan.
However, even if there is more compensation, no matter how much apology, no matter how much comfort from other parts of the grassland, everyone knows in their hearts that the strength of the Da Yue clan has decreased sharply, and at this time, in order to avoid another attack by the Huns, it was decided to lead the troops to move to the west. In the battle, Loulan strongly supported, and the princess and queen of the Yue clan were all in Loulan, and since then the Da Yue clan and Loulan have been dependent on each other.
The soldiers of the king of Loulan were not sent out in vain. Before the expedition, the king of Loulan had already summoned General Curry alone, and this time he sent troops to support the revenge of the Dayue clan, and at the same time, he also set up guards in the Dayue clan, even though he could protect Loulan, but in fact, the Dayue clan was included in the control of Loulan.
At this time, the Otsuki clan had no other choice, and everything changed too suddenly.
When Henna waited for Loulan to return, she learned that Roda had fallen ill.
Luo Da went to the Han Dynasty to study diligently when he was young, and returned to the Dayue clan with the integration of culture, and got the weight of the king of the Dayue clan, and he was more grateful for the great grace of the king of the Dayue clan. No matter how much Henna and Fran persuaded him, Rhoda stubbornly decided that it was his own incompetence that led to today's results.
Now there is no urging from Rhoda, but it has been replaced by the anxiety of the queen.
"Bassma, my daughter, what should we do with this marriage now?" The queen knows that she must rely on Loulan's support now, so the marriage must also be accelerated. Bassma's heart is like an ant in a hot pot, and the only way to find Henna is to reassure her, because only Henna is the one who can reassure her the most.
