The crescent moon will sink and the stars will shine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info// Summer night in the river, cool breeze and dry fragrance.

Sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, looking up at the crescent moon that was about to set through the window, Ayitengna remembered the mantra that Xiao Langjun had said for no reason: "Go up, go up to the west, go down to the east, go down, go down, ”

Born on the night of the moon, Ayitengna also liked to stare at the moon and meditate on it since she was a child. She had already discovered that there were traces of the direction of the moon's round and missing chords. She could roughly deduce the changes in the phases of the moon, but she had never been able to summarize them succinctly.

After coming to Tingzhou, she happened to chat with Xiao Langjun about the change of the moon, and Xiao Langjun blurted out the above formula.

After a little pondering, the brilliant Aitengana understood the meaning of the mantra: "In the first half of the first half of the moon, the first quarter moon appeared on the west side of the sky, with the convex side facing west; In the second half of the second half of the moon, the second quarter moon appears in the east side of the sky, with the convex side facing east. ”

It was about midnight and the crescent moon was sinking. Wandering in the night, Aitenga understands that she is only trying to avoid thinking about the final choice.

A few hours ago, Ai Tenggana followed Xiao Langjun to the company camp and connected with the Beiting army in Talas City.

The two armies converged together, swept away the wind and clouds, cleared the 5,000 Khorasan cavalry, defeated the 50,000 Great Food Servant Army, and completely released the tiger of the Beiting Army from the cage.

After Xiao Langjun and Wang Duhu met, they immediately briefly talked about Ge Lulu's betrayal, the siege of the Anxi army, the avoidance of the battle by the Hui tribe, and a series of changes after that, and then focused on the process of setting foot in the camp, especially the agreement between him and his brother Kudulu.

At that time, Ayi Tenggana was very nervous, for fear that Wang Duhu would not agree to the agreement made by Xiao Langjun without authorization, which would lead to new variables.

Since the Battle of Broken Leaves, Ayitengna's fate has been like a flat boat churning on a huge wave, and she has experienced a lot. The great changes in her family and country forced her to reflect on the fate and future of the Turgish Khanate.

In her opinion, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is by no means comparable to any tribe in Mobei and Moxi. If the Tuqi Shi Department wants to be revived, the best way out is to let go of the past grievances, become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty again, and guard the river with the support of the Heavenly Khan.

This time, the Tang army marched westward and the Qarluq people rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, which was a God-given opportunity. In the casual chat with Xiao Langjun, Judge Du and others, Ayi Tenggena judged that Datang's handing over the broken leaves to Ge Lulu was actually a last resort.

Now that the Qarluq people have betrayed, if Kudulu can seize the opportunity and regain ownership of the Tang Dynasty, he dare not say that he can take back Broken Leaf City, but at least he can be recognized by the Tang Dynasty, and he will base himself on his hometown openly, gather the old department, and develop and grow.

However, she knew very well that Kuduru would not choose to do so. As far as the revival of the Khanate was concerned, the elder brother paid more than himself. But his hatred for the Beiting Army was too deep to accept being attached to Datang again.

After defeating the Great Food Army under the city, Aitengna quietly talked to her brother about her thoughts. But Kudulu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head firmly and said, "Sister, we are rushing to ride the Shi people freely and freely on the banks of the Broken Leaf River. When he cooperated with Tang Ting, the Tang people also took a fancy to the strength of Sulu Khan and came to the door themselves. Now, I hope to lead my people and rely on my own strength to be free again, instead of begging the Tang people like Hanako! ”

Her brother's resolute attitude left Aitengana speechless, because she was not sure which of her ideas and that of her brother was better or worse.

After figuring out her brother's thoughts, Aitengana could only hope that Xiao Langjun would be able to convince Wang Duhu to get the Beiting Army to agree to cede Talas City to the Turgish tribe.

Before the camp, when Xiao Langjun proposed to trade with his brother, in fact, Aitengna was also taken aback. She didn't expect that Xiao Langjun's thinking would be so out-of-the-box and bold, that he would decide the fate of a city while talking and laughing.

As for whether Xiao Langjun can fulfill his promise, if Aitenggena has no doubts at all, it is definitely a lie.

However, Aitengna firmly believes that Xiao Langjun will not open the river, and will never cross the river and tear down the bridge. She's just

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) worried, how can Xiao Langjun persuade Wang Duhu.

Xiao Langjun muttered to Wang Duhu for a long time, and Aitengna kept an eye on the expressions of the two from afar. Fortunately, Xiao Langjun's demeanor was very sincere and confident, which reassured Ayitengna.

After a while, Wang Duhu, under the escort of the Beiting Ya soldiers, came to Kudulu.

Seeing that her brother's eyes were full of anger, Aitengna hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, for fear that Kuduru would make some drastic moves.

"Kudulu Special Service, we meet again!" Wang Zhengjian said lightly: "Thank you for helping the dog and helping our army relieve the siege." ”

"I'm not for you, don't thank you!" Kudulu's tone was very impatient: "'Your army' still has to hurry up and go south, you can get down to business!" ”

"The agreement between the dog and the special service should be obeyed, and the special service does not have to worry." Wang Zhengjian did not care about Kudulu's attitude: "After our army goes south, the city of Talas will be garrisoned by your troops, and I hope that the spies will treat the residents of the city well." There are a lot of grains, armor, and horses in the tent of the big food barracks outside the city, and our army will search one or two, and the rest of your troops can take them at will. ”

"That's great!" Surrounded by the detached guards, Kudulu gently broke free of Aitengana's small hand and turned to leave.

"Secret Service and so on!" Wang Zhengjian shouted: "Your ministry has contributed a lot in this battle, if I play the saint, maybe I will ask your ministry to fight for some rewards." I wonder if the secret service is intentional? ”

"Save it!" Kudulu didn't reply: "I'm for my sister, not some bullshit reward!" ”

"It's a lot of words!" Wang Zhengjian smiled and bowed.

"Anyway, thank you for the help!" Xiao Langjun, who was standing beside his father, shouted loudly.

Aitengna stood between Xiao Langjun and her brother, and was very entangled, not knowing which side to go to for a while.

Kudulu walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, bowed his head and pondered.

Ayitengna was overjoyed, thinking that her brother had changed his mind!

"Fei Langjun, then Mutai Ake is in the Great Food Army besieging the Anxi Army?" Kudulu's eyes were filled with a layer of frost.

"I heard Prince Sihan say that there are military generals around Abu Muslim, who are extremely brave, maybe it is Mudea." Wang Fei is not sure.

"Sister, are you going to follow that guy south in a while?" Kudulu no longer paid attention to Wang Fei.

"Well, I'd better accompany Xiao Langjun for another ride! I would also like to see what will determine the outcome of the battle in the middle of the river. Aitengana was suddenly a little nervous and reluctant, she was a little worried that this would be the last leg of her journey with Xiao Langjun.

"In this case, I will take a thousand of the detachments with me!" Kudulu said.

"Huh?" Ayitengna was a little surprised, but she quickly guessed her brother's thoughts: "Mutaia! ”

"I'm going to ask him face to face why he betrayed his friend! Just have Suluk here in Talas. When he said the word "friend", Kudulu's eyes were red.

Aitengna knew that her brother had always been a very serious person, but it was the first time she had seen him so solemn and painful. She glanced at Xiao Langjun and asked for his opinion.

After Wang Zhengjian heard Wang Fei's whispering a few words, he nodded and smiled: "The Beiting Army welcomes special service companions!" ”

Due to the urgency of the military situation, the Beiting army hastily cleaned up the battlefield, quickly sorted out the baggage, and the whole army hurried south.

Along the way, Aitengana stayed with her brother under the guard of her own family.

Tingzhou met but said goodbye in a hurry, and the brother and sister naturally had endless words.

Kudulu recounted the thrilling encounter of gathering the Turgish people on both sides of the Suye River, and Aitenggna recounted the assassination on the polo field; Kuduru talked about the magic of 100,000 people crossing the desert, and Aitengna talked about the chance of capturing Pegasus; Kudulu spoke of the bloody night of the Vice-King of Kulle, while Ayitengna described the battle behind the fire on Yuanxi......

For the first time since the fall of Shattered Leaf City, the two siblings were able to chat so easily, and they were both very happy.

However, they all intentionally or unintentionally avoided the heavy topic of how to deal with the relationship between the Tuqi Shibu and the Tang Dynasty......

Along the way, I talked while walking, and I didn't realize that it was close to my son. After running around for many days, Aitengna really couldn't hold on. She yawned and continued to talk to her brother, but her eyelids were heavy, and she didn't want to open them together.

Seeing that his sister was sleepy, Kudulu was a little reluctant, but he had no choice but to send Ayi Tenggena to Wang Fei and let her rest with Sister Ashina in the carriage.

The Turkish tribe was in ruins, and had relied on the rebels for weapons, horses, and food in the past, so there would be suitable carriages for them. What's more, the spacious and comfortable four-** carriage is currently only available in Wang Fei's Suyeju.

Wang Fei wisely insisted on riding his horse, and no longer sat with the women, so as not to suffer the white eyes of Ashina Yang and Kudulu......

Originally, Ashina wanted to leave his two daughters and Princess Anicei in the city of Talas. Later, when he learned that the entire Beiting army was heading south, but the Turgish tribe would stay near Talas, Ashinayang did not hesitate to agree to his daughters going south with the army.

Entering the carriage, Aitengna found that the Ashina sisters had a lot more meaningful content in their eyes. She immediately smiled and said, "Xiaoyun Little Lady and Wenxia Little Lady, I didn't mean to hide it from each other before, but it was really Wang Duhu's advice, in order to reduce trouble, I was not allowed to mention the old things." Besides, the people whose country is ruined and whose families are ruined have long been nothing in the past. ”

"Yiyue, your brother is in command of thousands of troops at the moment, and you, the county lord, are genuine! If he rebuilds the Turgish Khanate in the day of the Kudulu Special Service, according to the algorithm of the Tang Dynasty, you will be the eldest princess of the Khanate! Ashina Xiaoyun smiled heartily, sincerely happy for the reunion of the Aitengna brothers and sisters.

"Yiyue, are you still going back to Tingzhou?" Ashina Wenxia recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with Ayi Tenggena, thought of Wang Fei's intimate relationship with her, and asked quite contradictoryly.

"Little lady Wenxia, I haven't thought about it yet!" Aitenga replied in a low voice.

"Yiyue, what's there to think about. Of course you have to stay with your brother and your people, after all, the river is your home! The outspoken Ashina Xiaoyun didn't seem to understand why Ashtengna hesitated.

"Sister, what you think is too simple!" Ashina Wenxia hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and retorted: "Although there are thousands of people under the Kudulu special service, the situation is actually very difficult. Even if he got Talas City, it would still be weaker than any of the families of the nine surnames of Gelulu, Shatuo, and Zhaowu. In order to deal with the Kudulu special service, the enemy is likely to make up his mind on Yizuki! If Yi Yue stayed in the river, it would definitely be safer to stay in Tingzhou. ”

"Sister, after you apprenticed to learn art, why did you think about some unhappy things all day long!" Ashina Xiaoyun smiled: "I just hope that Yiyue can reunite with his brother!" ”

Ashina Wenxia blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Ai Tenggana hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Let the two little ladies bother!" How to choose, let's wait for the end of the Western Expedition to think about it! ”

"Well, think slowly, don't rush!" Ashina smiled brightly, lowered her beautiful eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Little lady Wenxia, if you have a knot, it's better to solve it as soon as possible!" Seeing that Ashina Xiaoyun was sleeping deeply, Ayi Tenggna whispered in Ashina Wenxia's ear.

Ashina Wenxia was stunned, staring at her sister's bright and handsome face with lost eyes. After a long time, she let out a long sigh and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The speed of the Beiting army was extremely fast, and the four-wheeled carriage was inevitably a little bumpy in order to keep up with the speed of the cavalry. Aitengna fell asleep for a while, then was awakened by the vibration of the carriage. She lifted the curtains and looked up at the night sky, lamenting that the bright moon was cloudy and sunny, and at the same time, she thought of Xiao Langjun's mantra for no reason, and her heart was full of thoughts.

Suddenly, the carriage rolled over a small rock and tossed heavily. If Wang Fei sees it, he will definitely feel that there is still room for improvement in earthquake prevention. And at the moment of the bump, what flashed in her mind was another sentence that Xiao Langjun said: "Don't put all your eggs in the same basket"......
