Chapter 15: Surprise
There were several fires burning in the tent to keep warm and light, and this fire reflected a group of people in strange costumes, making Xue Chongxun feel as if he was in a movie. Sitting opposite was actually the eighth-century King Tuyuhun Khan, which had to be said to be an adventure. He even wondered if this incident would be recorded in the history books, so that he would also become a legend and go down in history.
He tried not to be humble or arrogant, and said to himself, "You should ask me about my identity and origin." This is human nature, and the young Khan must have wanted to know what kind of person he was bringing his sister out. Xue Chongxun had already pondered the rhetoric several times, and he was not panicked, as long as the other party opened his mouth to ask questions, he could start to fool.
Unexpectedly, the king of Khan said, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
Xue Chongxun thought it was Go, because at this time it was the most popular game in the Tang Dynasty and even in the Eastern world, so he said: "I know a little." ”
King Khan said, "Sit down and play a game with me." ”
At this moment, a Tuyuhun man muttered, and Xue Chongxun guessed that he was worried that he was an assassin and could not get close to the Khan King. The young Khan also said a few words in the Tuyuhun language, and then a sergeant moved a stool to it and made a gesture of invitation.
Xue Chongxun slowly walked to the front of the throne, and when he got closer, he glanced at the chessboard on the case, and couldn't help but be stunned. It's not Go, it's carved into little people and ponies, a bit of chess, but it's very different...... The first time Xue Chongxun saw this kind of chess, I am afraid that this kind of chess is popular in the West.
Xue Chongxun raised his head and looked at the King Khan on the upper seat, he was close at this time, and he finally saw it clearly. Sure enough, he was very young, and he still looked like a big boy, but his expression showed an inappropriate calmness. His face and body are very thin, this kind of Xue Chongxun thinks about it, the figure of the Murong Yan sisters is also very slender, and they deliberately tighten their waists to look slimmer, and the aesthetic trend of the Tuyuhun people seems to be different from that of the Tang Dynasty.
The young Khan stretched out his hand and said, "I am the king, I don't want to oppress people with my identity, you move first." ”
"Humility is your virtue." Xue Chongxun said something nice, and at the same time tried to explain the misunderstanding, he thought it was Go.
After a while, the Khan King saw that Xue Chongxun was still unmoving, so he said: "The world is like a chessboard, any step may kill you, except for stopping at the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, you can't be sure what the result is." ”
This sentence made Xue Chongxun a little surprised to hear it, he really couldn't believe that it came from the mouth of a young man, could it be that the ancients were so precocious? When he looked at the Khan, he was also looking at himself and asked, "Are you sure of your results?" ”
Xue Chongxun shook his head with a wry smile, and the other party let out a "hmm" from his nose. At this time, Xue Chongxun said: "The mandate of heaven may not be violated, and fate may not be of its own choice, but people can still act independently and change a qiē, and such people can start their own careers." ”
King Khan said: "Have you changed the destiny of heaven? ”
Xue Chongxun remembered that the history he knew had gradually become unfamiliar, just because he was a small individual who had done something insignificant, but it had changed everything, so he smiled and nodded. Seeing this, the Khan King also laughed.
At this moment, one of the courtiers below said rudely: "This is a man of unknown origin, and the king of Khan should be vigilant about him." ”
Xue Chongxun was stunned, and when he looked back, it was a middle-aged reckless man with pigtails, with a big belly, talking to their king and actually sitting like this. Xue Chongxun said in his heart, these ethnic minorities do not have the concept of superiority and inferiority in this era?
King Khan was silent for a moment, and then said to Xue Chongxun: "He is my brother-in-law Fulu and has made great contributions to me, so I should pay attention to his construction...... That's all for today. ”
The little incident just now made Xue Chongxun feel that Tuyuhun's politics seemed to be a situation where the monarch was weak and the minister was strong. Could it be that this young Khan was able to be restored by virtue of his brother-in-law's power? So the power is on the sidelines?
"The grass people are retiring." Xue Chongxun didn't want to fall into their whirlpool, so he got up and hugged his fists in salute.
King Khan nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to talk to you, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet again." Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "Thank you for the hospitality of King Khan." ”
So he withdrew from the tent, and had scarcely come to rest in the tent which had been arranged for him, when he was asked to go out again. But this time I didn't go to see King Khan, it was Murong Yan's sisters who wanted to see him.
As soon as Xue Chongxun entered, Dong'er looked overjoyed and came up to grab the corner of his clothes. Murong Yan said to the left and right: "Take her down, I have something to say." ”
I saw that Murong Yan had changed into silk clothes. The Tuyuhun people are located at the heart of the Silk Road, very good at business, their caravans as far as the Middle East and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so they are not short of silk, and the noblewomen and Tang Dynasty women dress almost the same, but the style is a little different. She was dressed in soft silk, but she did not have all the underwear of Tang Dynasty women, and as a result, the outline of her body loomed...... Xue Chongxun even saw the outline of her chest supported by nipples.
Xue Chongxun has been running for his life for more than a month, except for Dong'er, the little girl who has not grown up, she has not seen a woman for more than a month, seeing such a scene, her body reacted uncontrollably, and her face turned red. He couldn't help but think crankily: The interracial woman is more open, this woman is dressed like this, I'm afraid she is a, does Lao Tzu look handsome and chic and want to seduce me?
Unexpectedly, Murong Yan said coldly: "King of the Tang River? ”
What the? Xue Chongxun was like being struck by lightning, and his cranky thoughts immediately disappeared cleanly...... How did she find out who I was?
Seeing this, Murong Yan smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”
Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "How can I be the king of the county, but I can't meet the king of the county anywhere!" Is there something wrong with Your Highness? ”
Murong Yan sat softly on the fur chair, pointed to the seat on the side and said, "The king of the county, please take a seat." ”
Xue Chongxun's stomach was full of depression and doubts, so he could only sit down calmly.
Murong Yan said again: "Recently, the five states of Longyou have been looking for your whereabouts, and it is very puzzling that you went to us to steal horses when you arrived in Dahua City...... Well, just after you met with the Khan King, he also said to me that you are not a simple person, let alone a grass people. You don't have to quibble, if you don't admit it, I will be rude, and it will not be difficult for us to confirm the identity of the King of the Tang Dynasty. ”
A fine sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he remembered what the young Khan King had said, "The world is like a chessboard, and any single move can kill you", and he thought that he had indeed been negligent and had taken the ancients for fools.
Xue Chongxun was in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll guess too." After the civil strife in Tuyuhun, the Murong clan was forced to marry him in order to get the support of the minister Fu Lu just now? Now that the military and political power is in his hands, your brother is probably just a puppet. ”
Murong Yan's expression changed slightly, although it was not obvious, but it had been taken in by Xue Chongxun. It's really hard for people to hide their feelings when they're unexpected, and the kind of people who don't change their colors when Mount Tai collapses in front of them should be old and fine.
Xue Chongxun smiled strongly: "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”
Murong Yan's expression turned cold, and she stared at Xue Chongxun with those deep eyes and said, "This is our internal matter, and I won't sue you." You still think about yourself and don't meddle in things. ”
"Your Highness listens to me. How much benefit do you have if you hand me over to Tibet? They say 'thank you,' or give you a hundred sheep, or five hundred? Xue Chongxun hurriedly incited, "If you let me go, it will have long-term benefits for both public and private interests!" ”
Xue Chongxun continued: "Now that the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty has broken out again, are you sure that Tubo is stronger than the Tang Dynasty? If Datang can recover the land of Tuyuhun in this battle, there is still an attached Tuyuhun king in Liangzhou, who should Datang let be the king of Qinghai, you don't want to leave a way back for yourself? And again......"
He lowered his voice and whispered: "If the Murong clan can join forces with the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult for us to help you seize the power you deserve, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Murong Yan frowned, as if she was a little tempted, but then she said calmly: "First, you can say to King Khan and Fulu (Murong Yan's husband) and let them decide. As for what you said later, it's best not to mention it again. ”
Helping them seize power is the biggest temptation, Xue Chongxun suddenly frowned and said, "Are you going to tell me about it?" Have you thought it through? This is a great opportunity for you! If I want to find this kind of opportunity in the future, I'm afraid it will ......"
"He is my husband, how can I hide from him?" Murong Yan said coldly.
Xue Chongxun said: "It's just a political marriage, you know." ”
Murong Yan paused, raised her head and said lightly: "You shouldn't understand our Tuyuhun customs, we Tuyuhun women, as long as they get married, they will be members of the husband's family, even if one day the two families have hatred, you have to stand on the side of the husband's family." ”
"Is that so?" Xue Chongxun looked into her eyes, not knowing whether it was true or false. Truth? Lie? Because she is afraid that her husband Furo will know?
Murong Yan looked directly at Xue Chongxun and said, "I will not betray my husband, so I must sue him about you." ”
Xue Chongxun was depressed, opened his mouth and didn't know how to persuade to be useful, so he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth and stopped talking.
"Now, then, you go with me to Fulu, explain your identity face to face, and see how he handles it." Murong Yan said ruthlessly.
Xue Chongxun's heart felt cold for a while, but he also figured it out: Why should others hide from their husbands and think about you, a person you just met?
"Okay." Xue Chongxun said dejectedly.
At this moment, Murong Yan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "You are kind to my sister, I will try my best to help you speak, don't worry too much." ”M
