Chapter 107: A Whip of Kindness

Parting is always sad, but for Empress Dowager Xiao and Princess Yicheng, they are not as tearful as ordinary relatives. Empress Dowager Xiao got into the carriage with a smile, opened the curtains, nodded at Yicheng, and then went to Dingxiang under the escort of many Turkic soldiers.

Yicheng is no longer the weak princess, she watched the Empress Dowager Xiao go away, rode back to the big tent, and didn't say a word on the way.

"Princess, why did the Queen Mother leave in such a hurry?" Back to the big tent, Princess Yicheng retreated, leaving only the two palace maids who followed her from the Central Plains to marry into the Turks, one of whom asked curiously.

When Princess Yicheng and Empress Dowager Xiao were alone, they called her the Empress Dowager, but in front of outsiders, Empress Dowager Xiao was still the Empress Dowager, because she was Yang Guang's queen, and nominally, Princess Yicheng supported Yang Gao.

"Your Majesty misses the Queen Mother, and has sent people to invite her to stay in Dingxiang for a few days, how can this palace not remember his filial piety?" Princess Yicheng said with a smile: "Besides, the queen mother is not used to life on this grassland after all. ”

"It's rare that Your Majesty is so young, but you always think about you and the Queen Mother, it's really a blessing for the Great Sui." Another palace maid complimented: "One day, Your Majesty will be able to exterminate the traitors and revive the Great Sui." ”

Is that really the case? Princess Yicheng mocked in her heart, and said in her heart: The population of Dingxiang is only tens of thousands, but Yang Gao overhauled the palace and placed hundreds of civil and military officials, how can this be like what people who can revive the Great Sui should do? Thinking of this, Princess Yicheng couldn't help but think of Li Xuanba, who had never met, the two compared each other slightly, made a judgment, and provoked Princess Yicheng to sigh secretly.

Seeing that Yicheng didn't speak, the two palace maids glanced at each other, took a step back without a trace, and stood about three feet behind Princess Yicheng.

When Princess Yicheng was out of her mind, a voice of prayer sounded outside the tent: "Qi Qi Kedun, the hunting ground has been prepared, and the Khan and several virtuous kings are waiting in the hunting ground." ”

"Got it." After Princess Yicheng finished speaking, she instructed the palace maid behind her: "Go and get the whip of the palace." ”

......

The Turkic people lived in a nomadic and hunting environment, and although they often invaded the Central Plains to grab wealth and food, they never forgot the ability to survive.

Princess Yicheng was dressed lightly, holding a long whip, riding the best war horse of the Turks, and looked brilliant in the sun. However, those Turkic soldiers outside the hunting ground, when they saw Princess Yicheng coming, they all bowed and saluted, not daring to look directly at Princess Yicheng.

"Khan, it's too late for righteousness." Yicheng rode up to Jieli Khan, bowed, and said respectfully: "Please forgive the Khan." ”

"Ben Khan knows that Kedun is the queen mother who went to send the Great Sui, how can he blame Kedun for such a trivial matter as hunting?" Jieli Khan smiled heartily and said, "Now that Kedun has arrived, Turkic warriors, use all your skills to shoot the fiercest beasts in the hunting grounds and present them to Kedun and Ben Khan. ”

Jieli Khan is over thirty years old, fat head and big ears, full of beard, just looking outside, quite majestic, but everyone knows that Jieli Khan can be said to be the most cowardly and incompetent among many Turkic nobles before inheriting the throne of Khan.

When the Turkic warriors heard the order of Jieli Khan, they rushed into the hunting grounds, for them, the hunting grounds, like the battlefields, were places to prove their skills, and the wild beasts in the hunting grounds were even more dangerous than the soldiers of the Great Sui.

"Right Virtuous King, wait a moment." As everyone poured into the hunting grounds, Princess Yoshinari said to a few people who were waiting.

The right virtuous king of the Turks is none other than Li Zhiyun's defection.

Bu Li Sheh is the younger brother of Jieli Khan, although he is the same as Jieli Khan, his face is covered with horizontal meat, but his face is unusually clean, except for the daily wind and sun It looks a little darker, but it is a little more pleasing to the eye than other virtuous kings.

In addition to his appearance, Bu Lishe has many shadows of Central Plains people, including etiquette, love poetry, and even under his tent, there are many Central Plains people who have escaped from the war.

Bu Lishi was born in the boundless grassland, his habits are naturally not innate, but because when he was young, Qimin Khan and the Great Sui befriended, Qimin Khan liked the culture of the Central Plains, so he invited many gentlemen from the Central Plains to go to the Turks, responsible for teaching his children, but unfortunately only Bu Lishi really learned something.

Hearing Princess Yicheng's shout, Bu Lishe jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Princess Yicheng's side, saluted respectfully, and said softly: "What do you command?" His voice was soft, and it didn't match his rugged appearance, and it was hard to help but laugh. Fortunately, no one dared to laugh out loud on the spot.

"Now the Turks will be at war with the Tang State, and you have the talent of a general, so you should lead the army to the battle." Princess Yicheng said expressionlessly: "In the past, when you hunted, you were lazy to deal with it, and this time you can't be at the bottom again." ”

"Yes." Bu Lishi obviously didn't expect Princess Yicheng to suddenly say such a thing to him, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but his face showed an increasingly respectful look.

"The other virtuous kings have brought hundreds of warriors, but you only brought more than ten people, and nearly half are from the Central Plains." Princess Yicheng glanced at the people behind Bu Lishi, and said contemptuously, "Do you think that they alone can give you prestige in this hunt?" ”

"The younger brother knows his mistake." Bu Lishe heard the dissatisfaction in Princess Yicheng's tone, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize, in order to dissipate Princess Yicheng's anger, he explained: "Ke Dun, although these few people behind the courtiers, although they are not as brave and good at fighting as the Turkic warriors, they are also talented people. ”

"Oh? Is it? Princess Yicheng replied casually, and pointed to someone casually: "You come forward." ”

The man who was pointed out by Princess Yicheng frowned slightly when he heard this, but he quickly stretched out, and if it wasn't for the people who had been observing him, he wouldn't have noticed that his brow had been wrinkled.

"The grass people know the rites, and I have seen Kedun." The man who called himself Yun Zhili dismounted and walked to Princess Yicheng, bowed and bowed.

"Look up." Princess Yicheng commanded in a cold tone, and the hand holding the long whip tightened.

Yun Zhili was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey, and slowly raised his head. When he was halfway up his head, he felt a gust of wind blow on his face, followed by a hot pain, and then fell to the grass.

"That's what you call a capable person?" Princess Yicheng put away the whip, shook her head dissatisfied, and said: "This palace didn't expect him to be able to hide, King Youxian, you send someone to take good care of him, and let him cover his face with black veil every day in the future. ”

"Obey the orders of Kotun." The fist in the long sleeve of Buli was clenched very tightly, and he gritted his teeth, resisted his anger, and replied calmly.

"After being whipped by this palace, do you have any complaints in your heart?" When Princess Yicheng and Bu Lishe were talking, Yun Zhili had already climbed up, and Princess Yicheng asked condescendingly.

"It's all because the grass people are not good at learning and art, and they won't have a grudge against Kedun." Yun Zhili bowed and replied, blood on his face falling on the grass.

"Yun Zhili, it's really polite, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, you have to remember that this whip in this palace is good for you." Princess Yicheng threw down a sentence, and without looking back, she entered the hunting ground with Jieli Khan.
