The so-called Khan tent, the most basic statement, is the residence of the Khan, which is a status symbol, and has its political significance and role.

Since it is the residence of the khan, the symbol of the rights of the steppe is naturally not small.

I don't know how the Xue Yantuo people set it up, Xie Yi looked at it from a distance, and roughly estimated that the big tent might be hundreds, or even thousands of square meters.

Of course, there may be partitions inside, such as the hall in front for deliberations and ceremonies, and the residence in the back, which is not much different from the Central Plains.

The felt used in the sweat tent is naturally the best, and there are many gold and silver ornaments and patterns hanging on it, which shine in the sun, and are naturally particularly conspicuous in the blue sky and white clouds of the grassland.

Since the concept of society has been used in human beings, the thing of "hierarchy" has never left, and people who are high above must always consciously or unintentionally use even the slightest special to show their status.

What's more, it is a powerful tribe on the northern grassland, and Xue Yantuo's sweat tent can't be shabby. In addition to these, there are probably expensive carpets, decorated with gold, silver and precious stones that have not been seen for the time being.

Although Xie Yi was full of curiosity and wanted to see the real thing, before stepping into the sweat tent, I was afraid that he would need to deal with another group of people first.

Before the sweat tent approached, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun saw a group of people coming from the west, and the momentum was violent.

The leader of the group is a steppe costume, ornate garments, gold ornaments, and jewel-encrusted knives, indicating that these people are extraordinary.

The moment Tu Liwei saw this team of people, his expression was slightly unnatural, especially when he was leading the way and smiling on his face, his expression couldn't help but be tight.

Xie Yi followed his gaze and found that this person's appearance and outfit were on par with "Sudden Loss", perhaps......

As expected, the answer was soon revealed.

This group of men and horses did come from the west, and it was the representative mission of the Western Turkic Khan, and they led the way. The one who talked and laughed was the eldest son of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan.

It is very interesting to see that the two missions of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks arrived at the Khan tent at the same time, which is quite comparable and competes with each other. Coincidentally, Xue Yantuo's two princes also have a clear division of labor.

Generously set to meet the Western Turks, and had a friendly attitude; And Tu Lisu accompanied the Tang Dynasty mission, polite.

Was this move an arrangement by Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, or was it a spontaneous act?

In order to show fairness, not to be rude to the two great powers, at the same time sent two sons to greet the two missions. Giving reciprocal treatment is not a bad idea.

But if it's spontaneous, it's intriguing.

When I was in Lingzhou, I received news that the two princes of Xue Yantuo were not in harmony, and now it seems that it may be true.

When Dadu and Tu Li looked at each other, Xie Yi really didn't see the "deep brotherhood" that should be, but was deeply hostile and resentful.

The two princes were not in harmony, they were relatively hostile, and there was even a fight between the open and the covert, except for the support of Xue Yantuo. In addition to winning the favor of his father Yinan, he probably also thought of using external forces.

Judging from the current situation, Dadu should have chosen the Western Turks. It is no accident that Tu Li lost going to meet the Tang Mission, and he spoke fluent Central Plains. It's even more meaningful.

That's a good thing!

Xue Yantuo's internal fighting is not harmonious, and it is a good thing for Datang that he cannot be twisted into a rope.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing for the mission, especially when it has just arrived. Is it really good to face such a potentially sharp conflict directly?

However, since it has been encountered, it is a blessing and not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Besides, there was a great man in later generations who said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Just as the two Turkic princes, Dadushe and Tulisu, were competing with each other and looked at each other hostilely and unconvinced, among the people and horses in the west, a man in gorgeous clothes and a sword hanging from his waist glanced at Di Zhixun and Xie Yi.

Xie Yi noticed that the color of this person's eyes was not black, it was obviously a person from the west, maybe his surname was Ashina!

The Ashina clan of the grassland royal family is actually different from most of the eastern herdsmen, they are actually Semu people. At this moment, appearing outside the tent of Xue Yantuo Khan, this person should be the legendary brother of the Western Turkic Khan "Hu Lu"!

Calabash? Fulu?

The homophonic pronunciation is a very interesting name, and it is said that the identity is respected, and it feels like a "cow fork".

But Xie Yi didn't care, just tidied up his official uniform without a trace, and smoothed the thick cloak behind him.

The grassland in September has been cold, because on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, it has entered the range of Xue Yantuo Khan's tent, and it is likely to perform a very formal state ceremony.

Therefore, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun were both dressed in official uniforms, and obviously the light silk fabric was really not protective from the cold, and they were soon frozen into dogs.

As a last resort, I had to damage the image of the officials of the court, but I didn't dare to damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, so I added a cloak that complemented each other.

Xie Yi looked over without a trace, and Hu Lu's eyes still drifted over from time to time, looking very proud and arrogant.

As the younger brother of the Western Turkic Khan, can a certain little Khan of the Nu Lost Bi (a large tribe that makes up the Western Turks) not be arrogant? What if you just look at it like this? Can I be handsome?

Looking at the cute Western Turkic gourd little khan, Xie Yi smiled coldly.

"Turkish, this is the Western Turkic Khan Mission, Hulu Little Khan personally came to congratulate his father Khan on his birthday, and now he is ready to meet the Khan, you wait first."

Dadu set up his mouth, his tone was very arrogant, and his attitude was also very distinct. Obviously, he fell unreservedly to the Western Turks, and when they first met, they were very unkind to the Tang Dynasty, and even arrogant and unreasonable.

Fortunately, Tu Liyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately said: "I see, it's just Brother Wang, this is the newly arrived Tang Dynasty envoy on behalf of the Tang Emperor to congratulate his father Khan's birthday."

The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of Shang, and the title of Father Khan is also granted by the Tang Dynasty, so it is reasonable for the Tang delegation to pay a visit first, and ask Brother Wang to wait for a while, don't mess with the rules. ”

"You ......" Da Du set was suddenly a little annoyed, and almost lost his temper in public, which obviously shows that his usual cultivation is not high.

It's just a sequence of visits, which seems small, but there is a lot of meaning behind it. Is it a contest between the two princes of Xue Yantuo, Dadu and Tulisu, and why not the contest between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks?

One step ahead is somewhat superior, so no one will budge.

But neither of the two envoys spoke, and it was not yet time for them to speak, and it was enough for two princes to quarrel with each other.

As a guest, you have to be somewhat polite; Moreover, the drama of the brothers' wall is exciting enough.

"Tu Li Loss, I'm your brother, since I'm one step ahead."

"If there are only two brothers, who go first as brothers, and there are two national missions, this prelude and etiquette cannot be messed up." There is a lot of persistence in Tuli's words, and no one is willing to give in.

For a moment, there seemed to be a small impasse next to the sweat tent. (To be continued......)
