The night was vast, a bright moon hung high, Luo Zhaoyun sent people to release a few Turkic guards, and then drove Murong Ziyan and the maidservant Gu Li back to the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the royal capital of Tuyuhun, and it is also the largest city on the plateau, because it is close to Qinghai Lake, the water system is developed, the fresh water is sufficient, and the grass and trees are vigorous in a radius of hundreds of miles, so this place is called the rich land of the plateau.

Tuyuhun has lived in the Qinghai Plateau for more than 200 years, deeply rooted, after the establishment of the country, the integration of tribes, the construction of the capital, has gradually formed a complete set of etiquette, official system, began to take shape of the scale of the empire.

This Fu Qi city, is made of soil, sand and stone barriers, more than three zhang high, the city tower is just an ordinary eaves modeling, there is no majestic city tower, corner tower, watchtower like the Central Plains city tower at all, stand at intervals, the top of the building is still heavy eaves nine ridges rest mountain type, the city tower here is very simple.

Although there are many shops and commercial streets in the city, the level of construction is extremely poor, they have no concept of building bricks and walls, tiles and mud, and a few broken wooden planks are built crookedly, all of which are tent structures.

Except for the central area, there are basically no brick walls in the whole royal city, and there are simple wooden houses and white tents everywhere, and people and horses live together, and they are chaotic.

It can be seen that the architectural level of the Tuyuhun people is still at a low level, and it is not much better than that of the Turks.

Murong Ziyan revealed her identity under the city, successfully entered the royal city, and returned to the palace

Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Busa Tuo, who was in a great distress and dilemma, learned that Princess Ziyan had been released, put down everything at hand, and immediately summoned him in the palace.

The palace is not luxurious, not like the Central Plains of Chang'an, Luoyang Imperial City like splendid, the palace adopts a circular building, the big tripod is also pointed upward, similar to the halal building of later generations, of course, here is not halal, but the imitation of the round tent of the nomads, still maintain the original appearance.

However, on the walls and temples, there are carved totems, wolf gods, moon gods, sun gods, grassland gods and other shaman patterns.

A burly man, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, looked at the return of his most beloved daughter, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Zi Yan, weren't you captured by the Sui army, how did you escape?" ”

Murong Ziyan looked at the Khan, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I was released by the commander of the Sui army, and he asked me to come back and persuade my father to ......."

She told the ins and outs of the matter, including sending her younger brother Suo Zhe to Dasui as a hostage.

"Smack!" Murong Fuyun had suffered such humiliation, broke the cup, and was furious: "The deception is too great, does he really think that he can win by himself?" To attack the ambush, is tens of thousands of horses enough? ”

"Father, now it's not his seventy or eighty thousand horses, several armies will form a trend of encirclement and suppression, if you don't leave, it's too late, once you are besieged, not only will the royal family be difficult to protect, but the entire Tuguhun will be wiped out."

Fu Yun hesitated, his face was pale, and he sat on the leather chair and fell into deep thought.

He is not a reckless person, forced by the situation, Murong Fuyun temporarily let go of his anger, and he is also weighing the gains and losses and the question of whether to stay.

"Your brother Wang has been seriously injured, whether he can recover is unknown, if you send your brother out again, I will have two sons, the other children died, or they are passive, and they are really qualified to inherit the position of Khan, it is the two of them, how can I be willing to let Suo Zhe be a hostage? No, I'll break through tonight and let that surnamed Luo's plan fail! ”

Murong Ziyan dissuaded: "No, father, not to mention whether this is done or not, whether it is a breach of contract, with Luo Zhaoyun's cunning and scheming, I am afraid that he has already planted an ambush on the periphery, and if he breaks through rashly, he will definitely be ambushed." ”

Fu Yun calmed down for a moment and said, "In this way, I will send a few people, pretend to break through, rush out from several directions at the same time, and try to move." ”

Zi Yan nodded, she agreed, if she could break through smoothly and not make a deal, she naturally didn't want her brother to be a hostage and be controlled by others.

Soon, several lines of soldiers and horses, all composed of thousands of people, escorted several empty vehicles, set off from the three city gates, each breaking through.

Fu Yun, Zi Yan, King Gu Li, several generals, and most of the lieutenants all stood at the head of the city, waiting for the movement, and after a while, there was a sound of fighting several miles outside the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!" Fu Yun was angry and scolded the cunning of the Central Plains.

Murong Ziyan sighed lightly, she felt more and more that this Luo Zhaoyun was too powerful, the details were well considered, and it was difficult for people to bargain.

returned to the palace hall, Fu Yun, Zi Yan, and Princess Yaning.

Murong Ziyan said: "Father, it's a little difficult to break through temporarily, I don't know how many people he has secretly arranged to prevent us from breaking through, it's better to think about how to trade with him, it's more secure." ”

Fu Yun said angrily: "What you mean is to give Suo Zhe to a strange Central Plains general, who is your own brother, the future Khan!" ”

Murong Ziyan persuaded: "Father, you know better than a child that few of the Khans of Tuyuhun are really inherited, and they are all snatched. The strength of the grassland is respected, in addition to bravery, more is wisdom and brains! Brother Wang was brave and powerful, but he lacked wisdom, and he was not a man who secured the throne of the Khan. Suo Zhe is smart and clever, he is a good seedling, but after all, he is too small, and at present, the national crisis is at hand, so it is better to send it to the Central Plains, General Luo promised that it will only be controlled for three years, and as long as we reveal his requirements, we will release it back. ”

Fu Yun complained: "So what, three years is not short, in case there is a mistake, high fever, fever, disease, it may be gone." ”

Murong Ziyan replied: "Father, please rest assured, the medical skills of the Central Plains are many times higher than those of the grassland, and the phenomenon of children dying in infancy is much less than that on the plateau. Moreover, I will always be by his side, not to let anyone hurt, I will take him to Chang'an and Luoyang to watch the prosperity of the Central Plains, learn the knowledge of the Central Plains, see how the Guozijian of the Great Sui teaches scholars, how the imperial examination system selects talents, etc., this is an opportunity, and it may be more beneficial to his growth. ”

"You're going too?" Fu Yun and Princess Yaning were taken aback.

Murong Ziyan said firmly: "Yes, only I am inseparable, I will rest assured of his safety, please rest assured that my father and mother concubine, as long as Ziyan does not die, I will hold my brother's safety and not let anyone hurt him, otherwise, we will follow the surname Luo, and the net will be broken!"
