048 Three Years (Mon)
Three years later.
As the sun sets, the vast grassland is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Qin Luo sat on a high hillside, facing south, occasionally taking a sip of mare's milk wine from his wine bag. In the distance, the rolling mountains seem to be shrouded in a light golden veil, looming. The grass on the grassland is green and yellow, yellow and green...... Unconsciously, he has spent three spring and autumn seasons in Xiangqiang.
Three years, neither short nor long. Khan Tuoba Yan had grown into a young man, stronger and more powerful, adding a bit of prestige.
Qin Luo has always served as a slave under Tuoba Yan. He not only taught Tuoba Yan the strategy of fighting against the Black Rock Tribe, but also allowed him to learn the culture of the Central Plains. Tuoba Yan has always been a serious student, he keeps his head down, runs horses and hunts every day, and does not ask about the government, so that Mozang Kedun slowly relaxed his vigilance. But in private, he was still in close contact with the great masters and others, secretly training troops, and preparing to resist the Black Rock Department at any time.
At this time, Tuoba Yan was taking his companions, as well as Yelekon and Tuoba Ling, running horses and shooting on the plains. Seeing that it was getting late, Tuoba Yan and they finally stopped and returned with a full load. They carry their prey and prepare to set up a rack for barbecue. Tuoba Yan saw Qin Luo drinking alone and drinking stuffy wine, so he beckoned him and said, "Qin Luo, come and eat together." ”
"Okay." Qin Luo saw that there were no outsiders, so he agreed.
A group of lads gathered around the grill, grilling meat and drinking and chatting. Seeing that Yelekang had been keeping his head down, concentrating on gnawing on the leg of mutton, and not talking and chatting, Alem wanted to tease him and asked, "Young Master Yele, how does it feel to have a pair of twin sisters?" Can't you tell them apart? ”
Yelekon glanced at him with an idiot's look, "How is that possible." Although my eldest sister and second sister look the same, there is still a big difference in their dress and behavior. ”
"Come on, come on, talk about it specifically." Alem said curiously.
Yelekon recalled and said to everyone, "The eldest sister is gentle and elegant, and likes embroidery and weaving. The second sister is very active, and goes out hunting with the boys in the tribe all day long, dances the nine-section whip, and likes to climb Shenglan Mountain. The eldest sister likes to wear beautiful skirts with silver jewelry, and the second sister rides horses, without skirts or jewelry. ”
"If they were dressed in the same clothes, standing still, and not talking, would you be able to tell the difference?" Tuoba Yan was also curious and asked.
"This ...... Fear...... Can't tell. Yelekon scratched his head, "But it's okay, I'll just call my sister." Anyway, the eldest sister and the second sister are all sisters. ”
Alemhaha laughed, "When she heard you call her sister, she knew you couldn't tell the difference." ”
Yelkon had long been familiar with the Khan's companions, and glared at him unconvinced, "It's a pity that your idea is completely impossible, because I have never seen the second sister wearing a skirt." ”
"Hasn't your second sister ever worn a skirt?" Tuoba Yan expressed disbelief.
"No, it's inconvenient to ride a horse and wear a skirt." Yelekon was talking, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered something, and said, "But speaking of which, the second sister seems to have really passed through a ......."
Unexpectedly, Ye Leyi really wore a beautiful dress, and everyone gathered around, ready to listen. Yelekon also stopped selling Guanzi, he recalled: "That was four years ago, when the eldest sister was not married to the Khan, many people in the Chishui tribe liked her and pursued her......"
Time goes back to four years ago, although Ye Letian was still a thirteen-year-old girl at that time, but among women of the same age, she still has a beautiful temperament, slim and graceful.
Many young talents in the Chishui Department sent flowers to Yele every day to make her happy. Ye Letian didn't fancy any of them, and politely refused. Only the son of General Lise of the Chishui Department, with his perseverance in his pursuit, sings love songs after leaning over Yele every day, and he can't get rid of it. One day, he waited all night outside Yel's tent to confess to her.
Ye Letian was so made to cry and laugh, so he had to ask his sister for help, "What should I do, he is outside, and I can't go out." ”
"Just refuse, isn't it over?" Ye Leyi said that such a simple thing, do you still need to ask?
But Ye Letian is a good girl who understands people's hearts, and she is embarrassed: "So many people are watching, I ...... I'm afraid I'm ruthless. ”
"You're a fool who won't say no." Ye Leyi shook his head and sighed, "What kind of pursuit is he, this is harassment." You don't have to be polite to him at all, it's better for you to consider his face? ”
"He is the son of General Lisse, and his father values General Lisse the most, and he will not look up and look down in the future, so he will refuse directly...... Not so good. ”
Ye Leyi shook her head helplessly, it seemed that she couldn't count on her sister to suddenly become strong, so she simply and rudely refused when she went out. She said to her sister: "Sister, if you believe me, I will help you solve this matter, so that he will never harass you again, how about it?" ”
"Really?" Yele pleaded, "Yes, I believe in you. ”
"Hmm." Ye Leyi touched her chin and looked at her sister, "Sister, come, the two of us have changed our clothes." ”
Ye Leyi put on her sister's skirt, wore gorgeous silver jewelry, and with the help of her sister, after carefully applying makeup, she was exactly the same as her sister. Yele looked at his sister as if he were looking in a mirror. She was amazed, "You just don't like to dress up, like a boy." You see that when you wear this skirt, it is like a fairy. ”
"Sister, if you praise me like a fairy, aren't you praising yourself for being like a fairy?" Yeleyi teased with a smile. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and also felt that she had become a sister, and for the first time, she felt that the feeling of twins was really amazing.
"Yes, yes, we are all immortals." Ye Letian also smiled.
Ye Leyi tugged at the flower and said entangledly: "Although it is good-looking, it is just a good trouble." There are too many silver ornaments on the head, so heavy. ”
"It's okay, just get used to it." Yele poured his sister to the door, "Go, sister." ”
As soon as Yereyi came out of the tent, everyone gathered around. General Lisse's son waited all night before finally meeting "Yele-twin". He was immediately excited, took Ye Leyi's hand, and asked, "Ah Tan, you finally came out." ”
Ah tilt? What a disgusting name! Yeleyi shook off his hand expressionlessly, but the man was unconscious, knelt on one knee, and said to her, "I...... From the first time I saw you, I liked you. You are like a fairy in the sky, beautiful, gentle, and empathetic. Ah Tilt, I am willing to be good to you for the rest of my life, marry me, okay? ”
"Marry him, marry him!" A group of onlookers couldn't help but coax.
Yeleyi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and after listening silently, she said, "Are you finished?" It's a pity that you said it in vain. I am Yeleyi, not Yeleyi. ”
"What? No way. "It wasn't just General Lisse's son who was surprised, everyone on the lookers was stunned. Although it is said that the two sisters on the grassland are twins, everyone knows that the two have very different personalities, so they have been in contact for a long time and are easy to identify.
But they didn't expect that one day Ye Leyi could also wear a skirt and dress up as an eldest sister without flaws. It was only then that people remembered that these two were twin sisters.
Seeing that the man looked stunned and idiot, Ye Leyi snickered silently in his heart, and then waved his fist and said viciously: "With your eyes, you can't even tell the difference between people, and you still want to marry my sister?" See if I don't kill you! ”
After Yelkon said this, everyone present laughed. Alam smiled and asked, "Later, did that man harass your eldest sister again?" ”
"How dare he, he now sees my two sisters walking around, who knows if they have changed their clothes, in case they admit it again?"
Tuoba Yan also smiled: "Sure enough, it's what your second sister can do, I haven't seen your sisters for a long time, they should be seventeen years old this year, I don't know what they will become when they grow up." ”
"Hey, I haven't seen them in three years, and I don't know if they're okay." Yelekon spoke in a low tone, and he began to feel homesick again.
When Qin Luo heard this, he also looked at the moon in the distance, thinking in his heart, I don't know what kind of situation the Chu State is in now, and whether his younger brother is healthy?
When everyone was drinking and talking, they suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant bell sound, and everyone looked back and saw that it was Servan Kedun. She stepped forward, sat down beside Tuoban, and smiled at everyone: "I said why hasn't the khan come back yet, I used to have barbecue with you here." ”
"Why are you here?" Tuoba Yan has always been cold and indifferent to this titular wife now. Tuoba Yan will neither argue with her nor pamper her.
Servan Kedun smiled unhesitantly, "I was attracted by the smell of your barbecue. ”
"Servan Kodon will also come and try a piece." Yelekon was the most unscrupulous, and in recent years he was not considerate to him, but he was not cruel or cruel. Therefore, Elekon gradually ceased to reject Rancodon.
Servant Lanno took the deer leg from Yelekon's hand and smiled at him: "Thank you, Young Master Yele. ”
Alem looked at the smile of Fulan Kedun, and said in his heart that she was indeed the first beauty of the grassland, and the years had not left any traces on her, and she was still as beautiful as a flower after so many years.
"The venison is well roasted." He cut off a piece with a knife, tasted it, and said, "With so much to eat, it seems that you have returned with a full load of hunting today." ”
"It's all the Khan's work, and the Khan has hunted the most prey." Alem continued.
"Our khan has grown up and become an eagle in the sky." Seeing Tuoba Ling sitting here again, he asked, "Second brother, did you go hunting with them too?" ”
"yes. It's just a pity that I didn't hit anything. "Tuoba Ling's riding and archery kung fu, except for Qin Luo, he is the worst here. Even Ranno might be able to manipulate a venomous snake to bite a few prey.
"The second brother is a good reader, likes the Central Plains culture, and is different from us." Fu Lannuo looked at Qin Luo again, "Qin Luo, in fact, I'm also very curious, your Central Plains culture. ”
"If you want to hear it, the slave is willing to explain." Qin Luo glanced at Servant Lanno, and said in his heart that in the past few years, Servant Ranno has slowly approached the friends around the Khan, and he has become familiar with them little by little, so that everyone can let down their guard, it is really not easy.
Qin Luo remembered that three years ago, Mozang Kedun sent Servant Lanno to find out who the master around Tuoba Yan was. It didn't take long to discover that Qin Luo and Tuoba Yan were in close contact. One day, she summoned Qin Luo, retired from the crowd, and chatted with Qin Luo alone: "I know, you are not only a slave by the khan's side, but also his military advisor." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Qin Luo naturally didn't admit it even if he was killed.
"Indeed, I am an intermediary sent by Mozang Kodun to the Khan. But don't worry, I won't leak my secrets to Mozang Kotun. "You may not believe it, but I'm actually on the Khan's side. ”
Of course, Qin Luo would not believe a word of Fu Lannuo's words. He glanced up at Ranno, but did not answer.
"Now that I am the wife of the Khan, why should I help Mozang Kodor and harm my husband?" "I know that you won't be able to trust me for a while. But it doesn't matter, time will tell. ”
Qin Luo raised his head and looked at this beautiful woman suspiciously. As for Servano's eyes, she said to Qin Luo: "You can inform the Khan of today's matter, and it is up to him to decide." By the way, say hello to the Khan on my behalf. ”
Later, Sullanno really did not break her promise, and the information she reported to Mozang Kodun was all inconsequential, let alone revealing anything about Qin Luo. And Mozang Kotun had long been blinded by Sullanor, and he was no longer strict with his son.
But Qin Luo still didn't dare to really believe in Serva Nuo, he always felt that Serva Nuo's surrender had another purpose. But he couldn't guess what the real purpose of Servano was.
