"What, Jimmy is making a fuss about leaving? Knocked over the cup? Khan rubbed his eyebrows when he heard the slave girl's report, "Jimmy used to be very stable, how did she become so frizzy now?" ”

Qin Luo said: "Jimmy, she is a strong woman, and now that her hands are useless, she will inevitably not be able to accept it for a while." Khan, you should comfort and comfort her more. ”

"I also want to visit her more, isn't it impossible to get out?" Tuoba Yan got up and said to Qin Luo, "Let's go, let's go and have a look together." ”

When Tuba Yan passed, Alepmu was still at the bedside with Jimmy. He saw the Khan and Qin Luo coming, and hurriedly said, "Jimmy, look, the Khan is here." ”

Jimmy was sulking with his back to the door. Hearing what Alem said, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to support himself with his hands.

"Be careful." Tuoba ran to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, and pressed Jimmy on the bed, "Can you stop moving and lie down for me." ”

"Khan......" Jimmy blushed and lowered his head, "I'm useless, I'm causing trouble for everyone during this time." ”

Tuoba knew that he had just gotten louder, and hurriedly apologized to Jimmy, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have yelled at you." Jimmy, I didn't blame you, and I didn't feel like you were in trouble. Don't worry, I'll heal your hands no matter what. ”

"What if my hand never healed again? I can't make you mare's milk tea anymore. Jimmy said sadly, "Khan, let me go, and leave me to fend for myself." ”

"I won't let you go, you still have to give birth to children for me, and I will marry you." Tuoba Yan said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Tuoba Yan in surprise. Qin Luo, Alem, and even Jimmy, they all knew in their hearts that Tuoba Yan had always liked Yeleyi, but now they actually said that they wanted to marry Jimmy?

Qin Luo and Alem didn't feel anything wrong, after all, men should be responsible. A woman who lost her hands for him, marrying her home is the best ending.

But Jimmy, who was bent on marrying Tuoba, shook his head at the moment. She resolutely refused: "Khan, you don't have to be like this, marry me because you sympathize with me, and I don't need this kind of sympathy. Khan, let me go, let's keep each other's best side, cherish it in our hearts and remember it slowly. ”

Jimmy knew that he was dragging Tuoba Yan like this, maybe he would not dislike it for a while, but if it was a long time, after ten or twenty years, Tuoba Yan faced Jimmy, who was aging and disabled, and I am afraid that he would never be able to recall the ingenuity of her youth.

Those present were in awe when they heard Jimmy's refusal. It is really rare for such a woman to be self-reliant, not to rely on men, not to be a parasite. She did not rely on Tuoba Yan because of her disability, although she was sad, she still chose to live with dignity.

"Who said you were useless." Qin Luo said with a smile, "Jimmy, your use is not just to make mare's milk tea, you still have many important tasks." ”

"Qin Luo, you trick me again." Jimmy didn't know what important tasks he could do like this.

Tuoba Yan and Alem also looked at Qin Luo curiously, not knowing what the hell he had in mind.

Qin Luo said: "In Southern Chu, the emperor needs a big chief by his side. Responsible for managing the guards and subordinates of the palace, and also managing the emperor's daily life. Now, you can act as the chief steward of the Khan's side. ”

Jimmy wondered, "But...... I won't. ”

"You will, you've done it before." Qin Luo explained, "Now the Golden Palace is very chaotic, and the slaves who used to serve the Khan have all been released. And the slaves who served Mozang Kodun also fled, and died. We people don't know how to tune. Teach slaves to live. Recently, Khan is often unattended. You are the one who knows the Khan habits best, and it's up to you to tune in. Teach, it's the best. ”

Jimmy used to tune in too. After teaching the new slaves around the Khan, after listening to it, she thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "I can teach them." ”

"In the future, not only the slaves around the Khan, but also the slaves up and down the Golden Palace will be managed by you." Qin Luo said.

Managing the Golden Palace is more difficult than managing the Khan's daily life. But Jimmy was not the one to back down, she quickly reassured: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely keep the Golden Palace up and down, in an orderly manner." ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yan also secretly praised in his heart, Qin Luo was really his brainchild, and he came up with a way to settle Jimmy so quickly.

Alem was also satisfied, so that Jimmy only needed to move his mouth and not his hands, and he could help Khan.

After pacifying Jimmy, Tuoba and Qin Luo left the dormitory. Tuoba Yan was full of praise for Qin Luo, "Qin Luo, you are really amazing, it is useless for Alem to persuade for a long time, you can persuade it in a few words." ”

"Jimmy, she's mentally frustrated, let's find something for her to do, and she's in a better mood." Qin Luo said, "Actually, Khan, you really need such a chief manager by your side, so that you have no worries. ”

"Is your chief manager of Nanchu also a person like Jimmy?" Tuoba asked.

"Uh...... No. Qin Luo touched his nose, "Generally, it is served by eunuchs." ”

"What kind of official is a eunuch?" When Tuoba heard such an elegant title, he didn't react for a while.

Qin Luo changed his words, "It's a eunuch." ”

"Oh, I know, it's not a man or a woman." Tuoba suddenly realized, "You Central Plains people are so strange, why do you want to ...... It hurts to cut that thing. ”

Qin Luo sighed secretly in his heart, it was not to prevent the emperor from cuckolding. However, the Xiang Qiang tribe's chastity towards women is not so perverted and strict, and there are many, many male slaves in the Golden Palace, but no one thinks there is anything wrong.

The two were chatting when a soldier suddenly broke in, "Khan, spy report, Mozang Dag is leading the Black Rock army to attack in the direction of the Zhanlu steppe." ”

"Got it." Tuoba Yan didn't expect Mozang Dag's speed to be so fast, he hurriedly said, "Go and send the second prince, General Kutulu, the great master, Alem, and Abutai to the main hall to discuss the military situation." Qin Luo, you also participate. ”

Qingyun is divided into three major places, Danyang City is located in the center of Qingyun, to the south is the Zhanlu grassland, and adjacent to the border of Southern Chu. To the north is the Sugsalang steppe, which is adjacent to the Chishui Department. When Mozang Dag withdrew his troops from Southern Chu, he would definitely attack the Zhanlu steppe first.

A group of people gathered around the map and listened to General Kutulu's analysis: "The defenders of the Zhanlu steppe are about 100,000 people, and the Black Rock army is about 200,000. The 100,000 soldiers in Danyang City can't move, so why don't we transfer the men and horses guarding the Sugsalang steppe to reinforce them? ”

"That'...... The Akamizu Ministry won't take the opportunity to make trouble. The Great Master asked with some concern.

"The Zhanlu steppe is our first line of defense." Tuoba Yan slowly swiped across the map with the "Snow Tip" scabbard, "I don't think Danyang City needs 100,000 soldiers, we still have Qingyun Iron Guards here, so it's better to transfer 50,000 first." ”

The great master disagreed, and he said, "What if Mozang Dag strikes the east and west? There must be tens of thousands of horses in the Black Rock Headquarters, and don't forget, our Danyang and Black Rock Departments are also very close to each other. ”

When everyone present heard this, their faces couldn't help but be heavy, and they faced the map one by one, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Qin Luo suddenly stood up, and he said, "Mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Sugesalang Prairie." ”

"The Chishui Department is in the north." Alam prompted.

"I know, but I don't think the Chishui Department and us are enemies." Qin Luo said confidently, "Not only are they not our enemies, but perhaps, they can become our allies." ”

As soon as Qin Luo's words fell, everyone was shocked.

The Great Master shook his head, "This ...... Unlikely. ”

Qin Luo said: "I heard that the relationship between the Chishui Department and the Black Rock Department is very ordinary. Their Great Khan, the king of the Great Khan, did not submit to Mozang Dag back then. even annoyed Mozang Dag, and detained the young master Yele of the Chishui Department in Qingyun. ”

"The Chishui tribe guards the north alone, and has never been willing to participate in the rights and wrongs of other tribes." The Great Master said, "King Yel Khan ignored Mozang Dag, and he was just as lukewarm to Qingyun. ”

"Knowing with affection, moving with reason, I believe that they will be tempted." Qin Luo said.

The second prince, Tuoba Ling, listened to it for a long time and felt that Qin Luo's proposal might be a breakthrough. He asked Qin Luo, "How do you know it with affection and move it with reason?" ”

"The second prince is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, and he should have heard the story of 'cold lips and teeth'." Qin Luo said with a smile, "If Qingyun perishes and Black Rock dominates, this is not good news for the Chishui Ministry. ”

Everyone was looking down in thought, and there was silence in the main hall. The great master Tuoba Sheng was cautious and cautious, and he did not have a good grasp of this method. However, the second prince Tuoba Ling said: "This method is feasible. ”

The Great Master Tuoba Sheng was still a little hesitant, "What if you don't say anything about them?" ”

"At the very least, we can negotiate with them and stall for time." Tuoba Ling said, "Asking the Chishui Department not to stab in the back is a good result." ”

"Khan." Qin Luo said again, "When negotiating, you can bring Young Master Yele, he has been a hostage in Qingyun for three years, and we will now bring Young Master back to Chishui to show our sincerity." ”

Yelekang has always maintained a friendly relationship with Tuoba Yan in Qingyun, and when Tuoba Yan went out hunting and playing, he would call him and go with him.

"Feasible." Tuoba slapped the table and immediately said, "Time is running out, we can only fight." Just do what Qin Luo said. ”

The generals naturally don't understand these stratagems, and naturally what the Khan says. The Great Master Tuoba Sheng touched his beard, and finally nodded: "Listen to the Khan, but before we negotiate with Chishui, let's not move the soldiers and horses of the Sugesalang Prairie." ”

"The great master is reasonable." Qin Luo agreed, "Khan, first transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from Danyang City, and then transfer the army of the Sugesalang Prairie into Danyang after the negotiations begin." ”

"Okay." Tuoba Yan sat on the throne of Khan and issued an order to his subordinates, "Appoint Alam and Abutai as my left and right generals, and lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to the Zhanlu steppe." ”

Alem and Abutai came out, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Command!" ”

"General Kutulu commands all the Qingyun Iron Guards and 100,000 troops to defend Danyang City."

General Kutulu came out of the ranks, knelt on one knee, and replied in a sonorous voice: "Command." ”

Tuoba Yan glanced at Qin Luo, and finally said: "Appoint Qin Luo as the Qingyun Envoy and go to the Chishui Ministry to negotiate." ”

The appointment of a lowly slave as an envoy is unique in the history of Xiang Qiang. But none of the people present disputed this. Although Tuoba Ling didn't like Qin Luo from the beginning, at the moment of crisis, he couldn't care about any personal grievances.

"Command." Qin Luo learned from the person in front of him, knelt on one knee, and calmly accepted the appointment.

He has been in Qingyun for three years, and he is finally no longer a captive or a slave.
