Chapter 323: War to Fate

Ai Yan was taken aback when he heard this, "Then you are still waiting?" Why don't we turn back as soon as possible? ”

"Ashdwin is determined to abandon Fu Nian and take power alone, but that doesn't mean he will do so openly at this time." Xue Shao said, "Welcoming back Fu Nian is now the common wish of many grassland tribes, and Ashdwin Fu does not dare to risk the world's condemnation to openly refuse, otherwise he will lose the hearts and minds of the people." So my guess is that even though Ashdwin Fu is very reluctant to return, he will still make a show to show his loyalty to Fu Nian. ”

"It's complicated...... Ai Yan furrowed his brows, "Why have you never met Ashdwin Fu and can guess what was going on in his mind?" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "That's because throughout the ages, power disputes have been like this." ”

"How so?" Ai Yan asked.

Xue Shao was also patient and said, "As you know, in the two rebellions of the Turkic tribes, Ashdwin Fu was the central figure in the middle of the plan, but he never came forward personally. In both rebellions, he chose to support the descendants of the Ashina royal family as the khan, and set up a puppet banner to help him rally his people, while Ashdwin Fu only held real power and gave advice in secret. But in the event of defeat, Ashwin Fu was definitely the first to flee, and it was the puppet khan of the Ashina family who was questioned. Isn't that the last time Pei Pingping was in rebellion? The mud-ripe head was sent to Chang'an, but Ashdwin Fu fled early, and soon made a comeback. Now it is a similar scene, Fu Nian is captured, and Ashdwin Fu is at large and takes sole control of the army - it is not difficult to judge that Ashdwin Fu is a scheming, shrewd and cunning steppe tyrant who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals! Since he is a hero, he must be proficient in scheming and love power. There have been many such characters throughout the ages, and their behavior styles are roughly similar. As long as you read a little more literature and history books and learn from the lessons of history, it will naturally not be difficult to analyze Ashdwin's mentality and thoughts at the moment. ”

"Looks like I'm underestimating you." Ai Yan was a little surprised, and said that the "Lantian Gongzi" I heard in the past didn't seem to be like this, in addition to being proficient in fun, when did he know the art of war?

Xue Shao smiled, "You should continue to underestimate me, I don't want to be worshiped or admired by you." That's going to make me unblessed. ”

"You! ......" Ai Yan was really angry and funny, "Xue Shao, can't you talk to me properly?" ”

Xue Shao laughed, Ai Yan stomped his feet angrily, walked to the side and sat down sullenly, and no longer paid attention to him.

A moment later, the moon slave and several guards returned from hunting, bringing back a lot of prey. The group raised a fire to barbecue meat, opened the mud seal of the military liquor and drank it, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

For a few days, the people of the Three Blades Brigade have been like this.

On the other hand, Ai Yan is always sitting on pins and needles, and her heart is anxious. Seeing Tang Jun so relaxed and happy, she became more and more silent and depressed, so she always sat alone and didn't care about anyone.

The moon slave roasted a hare and brought it to her to eat, and Ai Yan took it and ate it unceremoniously, but she didn't say a word.

"Hey, why are you like a stuffy jar all day long, this is not like you used to be." Yuenu sat down beside her and said, "If you have anything on your mind, tell me about it!" ”

Ai Yan said casually, "You don't understand!" ”

"You're watching people through the cracks in the door." The moon slave pursed his lips.

"What do you mean?" Ai Yan obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence that Xue Shao taught Yuenu to say after the break.

"It means, you look down on me!" Yuenu said, "I know that you are worried that Ashdwin Fu will abandon Fu Nian and take power alone. In this way, life and death are unpredictable, and your own fate is unpredictable. But have you ever thought about it, why do you have to rely on Fu Nian or looking at Ashdwin's face to decide your fate? ”

Ai Yan's eyes lit up, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Yue Nu smiled and said, "Do you know who is in charge of the real power in the Tang Dynasty now?" ”

"Of course, it's the Queen of Heaven, Queen Wu." Ai Yan replied.

Yue Nu smiled, "The Central Plains Dynasty was educated by Confucianism and has always belittled women in power. Despite this, Empress Wu is still able to dominate the world. Although the Turkic tribes are also inferior to men, their restraint and disdain for women are far less serious than those in the Central Plains. ”

Ai Yan's expression was obviously stunned, "Are you asking me to be the queen of the grassland?" ”

"Do you dare?" The words and expressions of the moon slave were full of provocation.

Ai Yan trembled, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was also a trace of excitement.

Obviously, this question has never been on her mind. As far as the current situation is concerned, she, the princess of the Ashina clan with no bloodline, is just a lonely person. It would be difficult to get past Fu Nian and wrest power from a steppe tyrant like Ashdwin Fu!

So, Ai Yan let out a long sigh and shook his head.

"Hehe, you're really a paper tiger!" The moon slave laughed wryly.

"What does that mean?" Ai Yan asked a little annoyed.

"Childe once said that a person who can only show his teeth and claws but has no real skills is a paper tiger." The moon slave smiled and said, "Look at you, isn't that so?" ”

"You! ......" Ai Yanlu stood up and glared at the moon slave angrily.

"What's wrong with me? Am I not right? The moon slave stood up in no hurry, took a piece of grass in his mouth and turned it left and right, and smiled with disdainful contempt, "I think you were born destined to be used and manipulated by others." First Fu Nian accepted you as a righteous daughter, using your bloodline and background to build a reputation for himself, and now it is Ashdwin Fu who wants to control you to achieve the same goal. You are so pathetic, being kicked around and snatched like a ball, but you have no claim of your own, and your fate is not in your own hands. In contrast, the diva is really a brave and capable heroine. Even I, a slave-born person, is stronger than you, at least, I dare to charge into battle for the man I love, how many women like me can there be in the world? How wonderful and beautiful my life is as a slave! - You, although you are of noble birth, are actually just a poor worm who can't even control your own destiny! ”

"Moon slave, you're too much!" Ai Yan was so angry that he threw the roast rabbit to the ground.

"It's really rare that you don't call me ugly." The moon slave smiled, "Although I don't like you, but no matter how you say it, it's a game together, my words are hard to hear, but you think about it yourself!" ”

After that, the moon slave patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, hummed an unknown tune with the grass in his mouth, and walked away leisurely.

As soon as the moon slave left, Ai Yan's eyes were red and tears flowed out.

That's right, Yuenu's words are very difficult to hear, and every word she says is like a knife to Ai Yan's heart. But Ai Yan's heart is also very clear that Yuenu is words are not rough, what she said is the truth and what she said is right!

"What should I do...... What to do? Ai Yan sat down paralyzed, covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

Yue Nu made a detour and returned to Xue Shao's side, and whispered in his ear: "Childe, as soon as I said those words, she was angry and cried!" …… It's pathetic! ”

Xue Shao said indifferently: "Let her cry, she will be sober after crying." ”

"You say, will she really work with us?" The moon slave asked in a low voice.

"We all have an instinct to survive and to be free. Between being enslaved and at the mercy of others, she easily chooses to survive and be free. Xue Shao said, "But if she doesn't wake her up, she will always be superstitious about her identity as a 'respected prairie princess', and she will always be confused and self-righteous." ”

Yue Nu looked at Xue Shao's eyes with awe and love, "Childe, you are so smart!" ”

Xue Shao turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help but smile, "It's daylight now, and there are brothers all around." ”

Yue Nu was told the central matter by Xue Shao, his face suddenly turned red, but his eyes were watery and seductive, and he whispered: "Childe, will I give you a son?" ”

Xue Shaoha smiled, "My daughter is okay, I like them all!" ”

"That, that...... Let's go find a hidden place now? ”

"Nonsense!" Xue Shao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and twisted a handful on her face, "You can't think about anything else all day long?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yue Nu hugged Xue Shao's arm and rested his head on his shoulder, closed his eyes and smiled, the word happiness was almost written on his face.

"Don't stay with me, go over and comfort Ai Yan."

"Yes, Childe!" The moon slave first responded obediently, and then smiled, "The moon slave is brave, ask the son to kiss me, okay?" ”

"I'm still biting you!"

As soon as Xue Shao's words fell, he rode forward, and it was the scouts sent by Xue Shao who were on guard around him to report the news. Seeing a red flag held high in his hand means that there is a major enemy.

Everyone in the Three Swords Brigade was immediately alert, and without waiting for Xue Shao's order, they had already thrown down the wine and meat in their hands and quickly gathered their horses in full armor, putting on a posture to meet the enemy.

"Report - General!" The scout galloped and jumped off his horse neatly, and reported, "Thousands of Turkic cavalry have been found ten miles ahead, of unknown origin!" ”

"Prepare for battle!" Xue Shao turned over and ordered loudly, "Moon slave, order you to protect Princess Aiyan!" If there is a war, you will take her to break through first, and you are not allowed to go straight to Shuozhou! ”

"Yes!" The moon slave promised loudly, instantly threw away the state of the little daughter, and got on the horse cleanly, with an extremely cold expression, full of heroic spirit.

Ai Yan had already wiped away the tears and turned on his horse, and said to Yuenu: "General An, please give me a knife!" ”

Yue Nu said coldly: "What do you want a knife for?" ”

"Fight!"

Yuenu frowned, "We are desperate to protect you, but you want to stab us in the back?" ”

Ai Yan took a deep breath, a rare look of fortitude flashed in his brown eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I know very well who is friend and foe. Please give me a knife, I'm going to war against fate, just for - myself! ”

The moon slave was stunned and stunned.

Ai Yan turned his head to look at the moon slave, his expression was extremely resolute, and he said two words with unprecedented earnestness, "Please." ”.
