Chapter 14: King Khan

Xue Chongxun took a little lady out of the cave and fled, but the horse they were riding could not be brought out, so they could only walk. Sooner or later, those officials will find holes in the broken temple and search out of the city. Xue Chongxun was worried, so he wanted to get a horse to leave quickly, and when he happened to pass by a yard on the outskirts of the city, he heard a horse barking inside, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and was ready to go in and steal a horse.

"Wait for me here, don't walk around, obedient." He grabbed Dong'er's little hand and instructed.

Dong'er raised her head and said "um" obediently. In the past two days of getting along, Xue Chongxun also knew that she was a more sensible child, so he put his mind at ease immediately. He looked up at the wall, took a deep breath, jumped up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and climbed up very quickly.

When he came down from the wall, he saw a lot of horses tied to the yard, and just as he was excited, he had a bad feeling for a moment: how could there be so many horses in one house!

At this moment, a voice suddenly said, "Don't move! ”

Xue Chongxun let out a "groan" in his heart, and was about to touch the horizontal knife on his waist, when he saw the door and window on the opposite side open, and many arrows and feathers were aimed at him. The man who had just spoken sneered: "Be honest with me." ”

Xue Chongxun was stunned, he was wearing linen clothes, without protection, if so many arrows were beckoned, there would be a way to live? These people shouldn't know themselves, and the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he has to put down his face and beg for mercy: "There is something to say, something to say......"

The man on the other side walked out and beckoned, "You two go out and have a look, be careful." ”

Dong'er was still obediently waiting for Xue Chongxun outside, without any resistance, and when the two men walked out of the courtyard gate, they quickly caught her in.

The commander looked at Dong'er's dress, and said with some surprise: "Are you from Tuyuhun?" ”

Dong'er glanced at Xue Chongxun and didn't say a word, she was really obedient, for fear of doing something wrong and saying something wrong. Then a woman's voice in the room said, "Bring the two of them in and talk." ”

So Xue Chongxun was pointed with a bow and arrow, the horizontal knife and bow were confiscated, and then he was escorted in with Dong'er. He saw that the other party did not show signs of killing for the time being, so he calmed down and looked for another opportunity.

As soon as a few people entered the door, they heard the woman's voice say, "Dong'er? ”

Xue Chongxun was very puzzled when he heard this, how could these people know Dong'er? Following the voice, I saw that the woman was dressed in Hanfu, wearing a hat with a wide brim on her head, and her face was covered by a veil, so she couldn't see her appearance.

Dong'er also looked surprised, and said in a daze, "Do you know me?" ”

"It's really Dong'er!" The woman lifted her hat and showed her face, with a look of joy on her face, "Dong'er has grown so tall in a few years...... I'm a sister! I saw that the woman who claimed to be her sister was beautiful, dressed as a Han and spoke Chinese, and she couldn't see anything wrong, but on closer inspection, her eye sockets were deeper than ordinary people, and her face was slightly different from that of Han people.

The woman got up from her seat, walked over to Dong'er, squatted down, took her in her arms and began to cry. On the contrary, Dong'er doesn't seem to have any affection, maybe she was too young when she left home. She was held in the arms of the woman, but she still looked at Xue Chongxun, a person she had just met.

The two of them muttered something in the Tuyuhun language, but Xue Chongxun couldn't understand it at all.

After a long time, the Tuyuhun woman pointed at Xue Chongxun and asked, "Who is he?" ”

Dong'er said, "Uncle Chang." ”

"General Chang? Wrong! The woman looked at Xue Chongxun suspiciously.

Xue Chongxun saw the situation in front of him, and already understood eight points, so that Lao Tzu and their family still had a little relationship, so naturally there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his fists and said: "I'm not General Chang as you said, but my surname is Chang." You can't stay here for a long time, I made something in the city, and the official is about to find out, let's leave this place first, and then explain it in detail? ”

The woman nodded, and decisively ordered everyone to prepare for their journey. At this time, she turned her head to Xue Chongxun and said, "My name is Murong Yan. ”

The situation was urgent, and the crowd and others discarded many things, and twenty or thirty horsemen went out with only their horses, and went south. At this time, Murong Yan explained a few words in Tuyuhun language, left the team as soon as he rode away, and rushed away first. Xue Chongxun asked, "Why did he go?" ”

Murong Yan said: "Our whereabouts may be exposed, and we will not be able to pass through the pass post on the border, so I asked him to send a signal to let the army enter, so that he can deal with us and get out more easily." ”

Xue Chongxun was surprised: "The army? ”

Murong Yan said: "The war between the Tubo Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty is inevitable, and in order to preemptively attack, Tubo Zanpu ordered our Tuyuhun people to attack and harass nearby. The Khan gathered a large army to attack Langzhou first, and now it is close to the border...... The Khan is my brother. This time, despite the opposition of King Khan and Fujun, I sneaked into Dahua City, but I can't rest assured that my sister will be ruined by the war, and I am afraid that I will never find her again. ”

Xue Chongxun was speechless for a long time, these people originally came to fight the Tang Dynasty.

Murong Yan glanced at him and said, "If you protect Dong'er, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly." Since the Tang Dynasty will not allow you, come to our Tuguhun, and the King of Khan will definitely treat you with courtesy. ”

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: I am the dignified king of the Tang Dynasty, will I go to your wild land, what official can I give to Lao Tzu? Even if the Great Khan gives way to me, it may not be more comfortable than the Tang Dynasty king. He thought so in his heart, but his face was silent, and he just wondered: "Since you are a royal family, why did Dong'er fall into the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Murong Yan just said lightly: "Civil strife." ”

It's a very easy two words, but Xue Chongxun can understand the difficulty, the infighting does not seem to be limited to the Han Empire, obviously where there is politics, there is a dump.

The group rode to the afternoon, and before they left the Tang realm, they saw the overwhelming foot riding sweeping in. Looking at the shape of their flags and the appearance of their weapons from a distance, it is obvious that it is not the Tang Army, most of them are the Tuyuhun Army. When they got closer, they saw the sergeants wearing small sleeves, small hakama, and long skirts and hats. The hat is covered with Luo Mi, which is about to shelter from the wind and sand, and it is similar to the hat often worn by women in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang people's hats are mainly for women to shade the sun for fear of tanning, and they also have the effect of being reluctant to show their heads and be reserved.

The Tuyuhun army had entered the Tang Realm, and Xue Chongxun could imagine that the outposts on the border had been whitewashed by them.

Xue Chongxun and others entered the military formation, and Murong Yan wanted to go to see the Khan King, and wanted to take Dong'er over, and the Khan King should be Dong'er's brother. Unexpectedly, Dong'er grabbed Xue Chongxun's hand and refused to let go, "Always go with me, I'm afraid." ”

Xue Chongxun was happy when he saw this: It seems that I am quite liked by the little girl, but I don't have any preference for Lolita. He patted Dong'er's little hand and said, "That's your brother, relatives, don't be afraid to go." ”

Dong'er still doesn't let go. Xue Chongxun said again: "Obedient." Only then did she reluctantly let go of her hand and walked to Murong Yan's side.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Murong Yan couldn't help but glance at Xue Chongxun again and smiled. The eyes in this woman's deep eye sockets are very seductive, and when she smiles, she is even more exotic, giving people the illusion of affection. If he hadn't seen such a beautiful woman like Jincheng, Xue Chongxun would probably feel very amazing...... Besides, listening to Murong Yan's words, she already has a husband.

In the evening, the army stopped and pitched tents one by one, but the cavalry continued to advance through the night. Xue Chongxun was really a little worried about whether Langzhou could hold it. Although Jiang Changqing stabbed Xue Chongxun in the back, which made Xue Chongxun very cold, the Han people were innocent. He remembered that the village elder he had just met in the Tang Realm was not rewarded, and he was quite impressed by the old man's simplicity and kindness.

At this moment, a sergeant came over and said to Xue Chongxun, "King Khan has summoned and invited guests to come with me." ”

Xue Chongxun had already pondered a set of lies in his heart, and he was not panicked in his heart, so he calmly followed the sergeant to the Chinese army's big tent. In front of the tent, there were two rows of samurai who were heavily guarded. When Xue Chongxun looked up, there was a dark golden totem erected on the top of the tent, which seemed to be a bird, but it looked like a beast, a nondescript animal. In fact, the Chinese dragon is also a species that does not exist in zĂ i.

The samurai stood upright and had solemn faces, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. The kings are probably deliberately creating this sacred atmosphere for themselves. However, Xue Chongxun had even seen the Tang Dynasty Emperor, who was known as the lord of all nations, and a small King Tuyuhun Khan could not deter him, so he walked in quietly.

There was a lot of space inside the tent, and there were still a few fires burning inside, and the light turned orange. Behold, there was a throne above that was deliberately raised, and the king of the Khan sat on it, but the man was in the shadows, and he could not see his true face. There are two rows of people on the cushions on both sides, among which are the Murong Yan sisters, and the others Xue Chongxun doesn't know.

Xue Chongxun slowly walked to the middle of the big tent, hugged his fists and said with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty: "The grass people pay a visit to His Majesty the Khan." ”

"Presumptuous! On your knees! A man shouted.

Xue Chongxun was stunned, how could Lao Tzu have a little friendship with the princess of Tuyuhun, wouldn't he do anything to Lao Tzu because of such a trivial matter? Without fear, he said with a straight face: "The grass people are Tang people, not the people of the Khan King, only kneel to the Tang Dynasty and the elders!" ”

At this moment, the person above spoke: "Don't be embarrassed for him, although the Tang Dynasty is now our enemy, I have always respected the backbone of the Tang people. "The voice sounded very young, like the voice of a teenager. Xue Chongxun thought about it, at first Murong Yan said that King Khan was her younger brother, and Murong Yan was in her early twenties at most, so she thought that King Tuyuhun Khan was not very old.

Xue Chongxun patted his horse and said: "Respecting the opponent is a high level of cultivation, and the words and deeds of the Khan King make the grass people sincerely respect." ”

He was a little puzzled, how did this young Khan regain the throne? M
