"There is the Black Rock Department outside, and there is the Servan Clan inside." Tuoba Yan asked Qin Luo for help, "What should I do now?" ”

"I'll just ask you a question, how many troops do you have in your hands?"

"I didn't ...... No. Tuoba lowered his head in pain, "Now Qingyun is full of troops from the Black Rock Tribe, and they are under the banner of protecting Qingyun, and they will not leave. ”

"In addition to Black Rock's army, Qingyun has other armies, right?" Qin Luo asked.

"There are Qingyun Iron Guards, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Guo Erhe." Tuoba Yan said, "But I don't think that Guo Erhe's head is at both ends of the rat, and it is not credible." ”

Qin Luo had seen Guo Erhe abuse the Chu woman with his own eyes, and he didn't have a good impression of this person, so he proposed, "I heard that the Qingyun Iron Guard is very powerful, and the commander is only loyal to the Khan. I think you can win this team over. ”

"Even if there is a Qingyun Iron Guard, it still can't fight against Black Rock." Tuoba Yan said in frustration, "This time, Mozang Dag also brought the Black Panther Cavalry, this light cavalry is fast and well-equipped, and it is comparable to the Qingyun Iron Guard. ”

There are three great horses and horses on the grassland. One is the Qingyun Iron Guard, one is the Black Panther Cavalry, and the other is the Double Red Army. These three armies belong to Qingyun, Heiyan and Chishui, and are the elite of the three major tribes. All three armies were led by their tribal leaders.

"Then the only way is to find a way to let the Great Khan of Mozang leave Qingyun with the Black Panther cavalry." Qin Luo said, "I think that the affairs of the Black Rock Department are complicated, and it is impossible for the Great Khan of Mozang to stay here for the rest of his life." ”

"How can I let him go?" Tuoba Yan had long been tired of the Great Khan of Mozang.

"Mozangdag has been here for fear that you will not be obedient. As long as you listen to your mother's orders now, don't resist, don't fight, and obediently marry the servant Lanno. Mozangdag saw that you had succumbed, so he naturally left."

"What? Married to Ranno? She's the murderer of my eldest brother, and I can't do it. As soon as he remembered that his eldest brother had died of a poisonous snake, he was furious and had only a deep dislike for Servant Lanno.

"Then it can't be helped." Qin Luo didn't care about the stalls, "Since Khan, you want to give up the Qingyun Department to Heiyan, there is nothing you can do about it." ”

"No, it's not......" Tuoba Yan remembered what his father Khan had said to him last that day. The father said, "Son, you must remember that you are the master of Qingyun, and your ancestor is the Tuoba clan. ”

"I am the master of Qingyun, and my ancestor is the Tuoba clan." Tuoba said silently, caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, it is the father's advice, and on the other hand, it is the woman he does not want to marry.

Tuoba Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, Qin Luo, I listen to you, I'll marry her." ”

When Tuoba Yan left, Qin Luo personally sent him to the gate of the racecourse. The old man Sang Dan looked at the figure of the noble boy leaving, and couldn't help but come to Qin Luo and asked, "Who is he, you actually sent someone to the door today?" ”

Qin Luo didn't answer the old man's question, but just said to him: "Blacksmith Sun's horses are almost raised, I can't go out, Uncle Sandan help me bring him over." ”

In the evening, a drizzle of rain in the sky dispels the summer heat and brings coolness not seen in days.

After the old man returned the horse, seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he ended the day's work early, gave Qin Luo some food, and locked him in the corner of the stable.

The rain trickled down the hut and trickled down. Sang Dan picked a dry place and cuffed Qin Luo on, "It shouldn't be drenched, you lean in when you sleep." ”

"Got it, uncle, let's go." Qin Luo urged. Uncle Sandan nodded, took the broken banana fan, covered his head, and trotted all the way away.

Qin Luo saw that the sky was getting dark, and said in his heart, that blacksmith Sun should be coming soon.

Late at night, the blacksmith Sun really came. Dressed in a hat and hat, he quietly avoided everyone under the cover of the rainy night and came to the racecourse. He did not enter through the gate, but climbed in lightly from the roof of the stable, and saw a thin figure locked by the fence, leaning against the straw pile in the corner, as if he was sleeping.

He curled up as far as he could, leaning as far as he could, but the wind and rain were so strong that his sleeves were already wet, and even his hair and face were stained with rain, dripping down the ends of his hair and forehead.

However, he is such a person, obviously in the stable, a slave and a maid, and seems to be embarrassed, but in his bones he has a calm and gentle cloud and a light breeze, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You're here?" Qin Luo really didn't fall asleep, he was just pretending to sleep. As soon as he heard the sound of footsteps, he left the vigilant Zhenkai and saw the blacksmith Sun standing in front of him.

"How do you sleep here?" Blacksmith Sun asked.

"I'm a slave who has sinned, isn't it normal to sleep in the stable?"

"Didn't Tuoba Yan come to beg you, why did he lock you here?" Blacksmith Sun stared at Qin Luo's long chains, one end tied to the wooden fence, restricting his range of movement.

"He's ......" Qin Luo shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, where can he take care of me?" ”

In fact, as early as after Tuoba Yan cut the chain, the old man was suspicious of his identity. That day, the old man Sangdan looked at Tuoba's back, and asked Qin Luo tentatively: "Which master is this, who dares to cut your chains." Did he know that it was the third prince who made the lock. Oh, now it's Khan. He didn't even listen to the Khan's orders, this is going to turn the sky upside down! ”

The old man Sandan was suspicious, but Tuoba Yan sneaked out, and his identity must not be revealed. Qin Luo couldn't explain it, so he had to lie for Tuoba, "It's just a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, if you are afraid of being held accountable from above, why don't you help me lock it again?" ”

"Forget it, the kid on guard hasn't come to supervise these days, just lock it at night." Sang Dan looked at Qin Luo's scarred wrist, but he still couldn't bear it.

So in the next few days, Qin Luo finally got rid of the shackles during the day, and it was much more convenient to do things. But it was still locked up at night, and he was not allowed to go out of the racecourse for half a step all day.

Blacksmith Sun got to the point and got straight to the point: "You return the horse to me, it seems that you have thought it through." How about joining us and becoming an intermediary? ”

Qin Luo said calmly: "I am willing." ”

When Qin Luo said the three words "I do", his heart was at peace.

Blacksmith Sun finally smiled a little, and he continued to ask, "Do you know what is the most important thing as an intermediary?" ”

“…… Loyal? Qin Luo replied.

"Yes, loyalty, loyalty to the mother country." Blacksmith Sun nodded, "Don't forget your original intention, never be confused by anyone or anything, no matter whether the Chu State is strong or weak in the future, you must not betray." ”

"I understand that I will never betray." Qin Luo promised.

"Come, face south, kneel. Swear by me. Blacksmith Sun faced the direction of Nanchu and swore word by word with Qin Luo, "I swear by my blood and the name of my ancestors: from today on, I will voluntarily become an intermediary, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for Dachu." ”

Qin Luo knelt beside him, followed the blacksmith Sun and said solemnly: "I swear by my blood and my ancestors: from today on, I will voluntarily become an intermediary, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for Da Chu." ”

"Obey the dispatch of the State of Chu and obey the orders of the State of Chu. Don't be lured by money, don't be deceived by power. Blacksmith Sun's deep voice echoed through the stables.

"Obey the dispatch of the State of Chu and obey the orders of the State of Chu. Don't be lured by money, don't be deceived by power. "Qin Luozhuang

Yan repeated.

"Remember the national shame and swear allegiance."

"Remember the national shame and swear allegiance."

"Robe Ze is of the same heart and will never betray."

"Robe Ze is of the same heart and will never betray."

"Don't forget your original intention, and rest until you die."

"Don't forget your original intention, and rest until you die."

After taking the oath, blacksmith Sun kowtowed three heads to the south, and when Qin Luo saw this, he also followed his pious salute and kowtowed. In the dark days to come, Qin Luo was also entangled and shaken. But in those difficult moments, he always remembered this night, and always remembered his oath: never forget his original intention, and rest until death!
