Chapter 280: Relatives of the Shangguan Family
"Hey! Mother's love is great, but sometimes mothers don't think about it for the sake of their children. Li Guanqi took a long breath and said, "Since those four slaves dare to escape, they have already taken the first step of betrayal, and their courage will only get bigger and bigger!" Tadu's mother and son are people who have been degraded by Brother Hun, and it is difficult to pose any threat to them, how can this mother not be bullied if she chases her alone? ”
"Huh? Could it be ......" Liu Hanyan exclaimed, and her little hand unconsciously covered her lips.
"Not bad! Your Majesty guessed right! Yuwen Xiyue nodded and said, "When the four slaves saw that Tadu's mother had caught up with her, and had already coveted her beauty, they ...... together Spoil her! However, they finally had a little conscience, and left Tadu's mother with a mare that produced milk. ”
"Mother and son, one horse is still not enough, right?" Liu Hanyan asked worriedly.
"From the high-ranking princess to the current situation, if I expected it to be true, Tadu's mother would not be able to live!" Li Guanqi also said in a deep voice.
"You've guessed it again!" Yuwen Xiyue looked at Li Guanqi and said, "Tadu's mother cut her own throat after taking the horse back and putting it next to Tadu. ”
"Huh?" Liu Hanyan exclaimed again, "That tower must have died of sadness!" ”
"He's more hate!" Yuwen Xiyue gritted her teeth and said, "At that time, he wished that he could take the four slaves, his brother and father, cramps and skinned them, and crushed their bones and scattered ashes. But he couldn't, he was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and the bumps along the way, coupled with the bad weather, he was already sick. He didn't even have the strength to stand up, and could only curl up in his tent like a little monkey, struggling to get over and drink a few sips of mare's milk only when he was starving to death. ”
Hear this. Li Guanqi and Liu Hanyan unconsciously calmed down, and there was a slight chill in their hearts, thinking about the situation in a simple tent on the cold and windy ice field, in a simple tent, squirming to drink mare's milk. How bleak is that?
After a long time, Li Guanqi asked in a deep voice, "What happened later?" ”
Yuwen Xiyue said in a low voice: "Later, Tadu struggled in the tent for more than ten days, and then it snowed heavily, and the mare couldn't stand the cold, so he ran away. His tent was also blown by the wind, and the wind was heard all around at night, and the stones were blown around outside......"
"Huh? Will he survive? Liu Hanyan asked anxiously.
Yuwen Xiyue said in a deep voice: "At that time, Tadu also thought that he would definitely not survive, because he finally couldn't hold on. Fainted. But he still didn't die, and when he woke up, he saw his mother! He was lying in her arms, and she fed him with her own milk. ”
"His mother?" Liu Hanyan asked in surprise, "Didn't his mother commit suicide?" And he's already in his teens, how can his mother still have milk? Is he dreaming? ”
Li Guanqi also felt very strange, and looked at Yuwen Xiyue with inquiring eyes, but did not speak.
Yuwen Xiyue took a breath and said, "He's not dreaming. It was not his mother who came, but his mother's twin sister. That is, his aunt. Speaking of this, she stopped, looked at Li Guanqi, and said, "Does Your Majesty know who Tadu's aunt is marrying?" ”
"Huh?" Li Guanqi said with a puzzled expression, "How could I know? Don't sell it. Tell me who it is, right? ”
Yuwen Xiyue said with a solemn face: "His uncle-in-law called me the official police!" ”
"Shangguan police, me?" Li Guanqi sat up suddenly, "Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Jin's fathers? ”
"Not bad!" Yuwen Xiyue nodded and said, "Tadu's aunt has a very good relationship with her sister, and she also loves her nephew very much, after she learned the news that Tadu's mother and son were deposed. Regardless of Shangguan Jin's youth, he took the guards and rode all the way to find their mother and son. When he found Tadu, he only had half a life left, and his mouth was so rotten that he couldn't swallow anything. That's why I fed him milk. ”
"And then? How did Tadu become the new Khitan Khan? Li Guanqi has completely sat up straight, he knows that people who have had such an experience have a very strong mind, and they are by no means people who can be defeated easily, not to mention that Tadu has such a close relationship with the Shangguan family, he must not have a good impression of Daqian, but he is really a strong opponent.
Yuwen Xiyue said faintly: "Later, Tadu was taken to Daqian, and lived with the Shangguan family for twelve years, until Shangguan Jin was fourteen years old, he returned to the Khitan. However, his aunt died the next year, and because she took care of him, she contracted the germ and did not survive. When she was dying, she took Tadu and her daughter's hand together and told him to take care of her aunt, and then she died. ”
After listening to Yuwen Xiyue's narration, Li Guanqi walked out of bed, fell into deep thought, and frowned again for a long time before he said: "After going through so many things, Tadu must have developed a tenacious character, but how did he become the new Khitan Khan?"
The place where the Khitan people live is also a bitter cold land, only the wild grass grows best, but it cannot be cultivated. If you don't have enough food to eat, you have to grab it, you have to go to war, you have to die, if you don't fight a war, if you don't grab other people's food, you can't live at all.
So they are also a people who admire savagery and courage, generation after generation, and only the strongest warriors survive. He could not have defeated his father and brother without strong support. Although the Shangguan family is all martial arts masters, they are just a group of delusional people who are daydreaming, and they don't have this strength at all. ”
Yuwen Xiyue also stood up and said: "Your Majesty must also know that although the Khitan has a unified khan, it is actually divided into eight major tribes: Daji, Subian, Duhuo, Fenwen, Tuben, Ruixi, Shenjin and Fu, and Brother Hun is not only the Khan of the Khitan, but also the tribal leader of Daji. The main reason why Tadu chose to return to the Khitan at the age of twenty-four was because the leader of the Ruixi tribe had no son, only one daughter, and he had to hold a son-in-law selection conference to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, and at the same time choose an heir for himself. ”
Li Guanqi pursed his lips and said: "The daughter of the tribal leader is definitely not ugly, not to mention that there can be an entire tribe to inherit, there must be a lot of people who go to the election, and the competition must be fierce."
However, the Khitan choice of son-in-law will definitely not be more than poetry and songs, but more courageous than which one. Tadu has lived with the Shangguan family for more than ten years, no matter how poor his qualifications are, his martial arts are enough to deal with those Khitan men who can only fight in battle.
