The second prince saw that his younger brother cared so much about a Chu slave, and there was a gap in his heart, and he mocked without smiling: "He just fainted, and the khan must have been too worried." ”

Jimmy had already stepped forward to check on it, and when he saw that Qin Luo was still breathing, he nodded to the Khan, indicating that Qin Luo was still alive.

Tuoba said sullenly: "Second brother, why are you beating him?" ”

"Didn't we say yes, I handed over the letter, and he was punished. The letter to the Great Khan of Weimu, my mother has written it today, and Qin Luo will naturally be punished. ”

"Do you have to execute me while I'm gone?" Tuoba looked at the second brother suspiciously, "Who knows, how many hits you hit." ”

"You don't believe me?" The second prince was immediately angry, "The two people in charge of the execution are by your side, if I have more fights, you can ask him." ”

Although Tuoba Yan saw that the second brother was angry, he did not relent, he looked at the two of them coldly, "How many times have you hit?" ”

The two strong men standing next to each other looked at each other, they were just small people, and they were actually going to be sandwiched between the second prince and the khan.

"Tell the truth!" Tuoba threatened.

"Four...... Forty-five. One of them replied truthfully.

"Forty-five?" This answer was unexpected by Tuoba Yan, and he glanced at Tuoba Ling, really embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Five more." Tuoba Ling played with taste, "Khan, do you want to continue the execution?" ”

"You ......" Tuoba Yan just felt a little guilty about the second brother, and was said by the second prince with a word.

"Well, I won't bother with him about these five hits." Tuoba Ling smiled coldly, "Khan, even if I want to kill him, it's just a matter of one sentence, why bother with these subordinate means." Although I am at odds with Qin Luo, I will also fight with him in a dignified manner. ”

Tuoba Yan also said confrontedly: "Second brother, I don't expect you and Qin Luo to get along in harmony, Qin Luo is my person, and I will never let something like this happen again." ”

"Good." Tuoba Ling's heart has long been cold, he and Tuoba Ling have walked together for so long, and they haven't even been able to break them up in the previous power struggle. Tuoba Ling originally thought that Tuoba Yan was his lifelong friend and brother. Now Tuoba Yan has a dislike with him for the sake of a Chu person.

"No." Tuoba Yan directly ordered the eviction of the guest, and then said to Jimmy, "Go and ask the witch doctor to treat Qin Luo." ”

Seeing that he was treated so coldly, the second prince was so angry that he turned around directly and left the big tent without looking back. Tuoba Yan and Tuoba Ling, two good brothers, finally broke completely on the matter of Qin Luo's punishment.

Later, Qin Luo sobered up, and after learning about this from Jimmy's mouth, he understood that the Khan was not only angry with the second prince because he was punished, but also because the second prince challenged the authority of the khan, which made Tuoba Yan feel powerless, which was the real reason.

Qin Luo let out a long sigh, he almost died, and he had to be sick in bed for a while, but the result was still good. Only by using bitter meat can we separate these two good brothers.

Tuoba Yan got the letter and token of Concubine Wei Mu, and handed it over to his cronies to pass the message to the Baisha Department. At this time, King Weimu Great Khan had just attended the enthronement ceremony of Yel Khan and was on his way back.

As soon as King Wei Mu left Danyang City, he changed his flattering appearance just now, and said disdainfully to his close general, Ahan, "If it weren't for the destruction of the Black Rock Tribe, how could there be a time when the Chishui Department was arrogant." The way of this world, hey......"

Wearing silver armor and a white cloak, Khan stared intently ahead. Hearing that the Great Khan King was complaining, he said coldly: "I heard that the Yele clan did not attack Danyang City from the main gate, they sent a person to learn about the secret passage of Danyang City. ”

"Secret passage?" King Wei Mu Great Khan was surprised, "There is actually a secret passage in Danyang City, could it be that the ancestors of the Tuoba clan left a way to escape for future generations?" ”

"It could also be left behind by the Jinyang Ministry." General Ahan said, "But now that the secret passage has been exposed, Yel Khan must have let people fill it in." ”

"The escape secret path has become a secret passage to cut off the Qingyun Ministry, I don't know how the ancestors of the Tuoba clan feel." King Weimu sighed, "I actually have some sympathy for Tuoba Khan, and I was betrayed by the Black Rock and Chishui tribes one after another. It is said that he fled to the Zhanlu steppe with his team, and he did not know if he could make a comeback. ”

General Ahantar frowned, "If the Qingyun Department is also destroyed, there will be only the Chishui Department and our Baisha Department left on the grassland." ”

"There is an idiom in the Central Plains, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. You're talking about what I'm worried about. The Great Khan said.

After the martyrdom of the great teacher Tuoba Sheng, Tuoba Yan has not been awarded the post of great teacher again. However, the great division is the head of the Xiangqiang civil officials, generally served by the royal family's internal personnel, and the recent mourning period of the great division has passed, and all the civil and military forces in Qingyun recommended the second prince to the Khan as a candidate for the great division.

It's a pity that the second prince and Tuoba Yan just had a conflict, and Tuoba Yan was angry, so naturally he didn't agree to the ministers' proposal. Qin Luo saw that the khan had returned to his sleeping tent, and also persuaded him to make the second prince a great teacher.

Tuoba Yan said angrily: "Qin Luo, he beat you, and you still speak for him?" ”

Seeing this, Qin Luo couldn't cry or laugh. He said to Tuoba Yan: "Khan, the public is the public, the private is the private, the second prince is indeed the best candidate for the great master." ”

Tuoba Yan also knew that when he was preparing to conquer Southern Chu in person, Tuoba Sheng's health was not very good, and he came to him at that time, wanted to retreat, and recommended the second prince to take the position of a great teacher.

At that time, Tuoba Yan also agreed, and even mentioned the matter to the second prince. and promised Tuoba Ling that as long as the battle against Chu was won, he would personally crown his second brother as a great teacher.

It's a pity that time has changed, the situation has changed a lot, and no one expected that when they returned from Southern Chu with troops, Tuoba Sheng died, and Danyang City was occupied by the Chishui Department.

So Tuoba Yan has been fleeing with the Qingyun Ministry, and the appointment of the great national teacher has been delayed, until now, I have to mention it.

Qin Luojin said: "Khan, now that Qingyun's internal affairs are unstable and people's hearts are uncertain, the Khan must appease the people. And appointing the second prince as a great teacher is the fastest way to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

"Why is that?" Tuoba was puzzled.

Qin Luo explained: "Khan, the position of a great power teacher, is like the prime minister of the Central Plains, the son of heaven above, and the people below. Now that Qingyun is even lacking in a great country, and there is no one to lead the civil and military officials, just like a scattered government, how can the people make up their minds and firmly follow the Khan forward? ”

Tuoba Yan was speechless about this, he was depressed recently, and he didn't have the heart to manage the government at all, and Qin Luo was demoted to a slave, and the great master passed away, and the second brother has been dealing with general affairs. In fact, Tuoba Ling has long been a great teacher, but he didn't give him a name. When Qin Luo mentioned this, Tuoba Yan knew that he had made a mistake in power.

"Qin Luo, don't you really mind that the second brother is a great teacher?" "If he wields more power, he might make things more difficult for you, can you bear it?" ”

"I will avoid its edge, I can hide if I can, I really can't, endure the calm for a while." Qin Luo knew that it was indeed risky to push his enemies to the top. But now Tuoba Ling has long been a civil leader, and whether or not to give him the post of a great teacher is just a superficial effort.

And Qin Luo's personal recommendation and persuasion reflected his demeanor and loyalty to Tuobayan. Why not do this kind of thing?

Sure enough, Tuoba Yan's guilt towards Qin Luo deepened, he took Qin Luo's hand and said guiltily: "Don't worry, even if he becomes a great teacher, I will protect you thoroughly." ”

Qin Luo grabbed Tuoba Yan with his backhand, smiled slightly and said, "I understand." ”
