Chapter 279: Precious

Cai Lang looked at Zhou Hou's indignant appearance, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this is the true face of his aunt. Gentle and quiet on weekdays, that is the character of her own mother, Zhou Wei has taken over her sister's position since she entered the palace, and she has packed up the strong and willful nature of her girlhood, and deliberately imitated her sister's demeanor, so Cai Tianhe sometimes vaguely sees the shadow of the queen mother on her aunt's body, but after he arrived in Lanzhou and Hexi, he has grown older and has a lot of experience, so he can naturally distinguish the difference between his aunt's original temperament and her real mother. "If the nobles of the imperial family are spoken, my aunt must not mention it again. Cai Lang avoided Zhou Hou's questioning eyes with some weakness, "In the Western Regions, Cai Lang, the centurion of the Jiaorong Army, is no less inferior than the little prince of Jinling," he unconsciously used a serious tone and said in a deep voice, "Not only me, but those good men who spilled blood in the Western Regions, their lives are as valuable as mine." ”

Zhou Wei watched him grow up since he was a child, he had never spoken to himself in this tone, his heart was strange, he was slightly stunned, only to see Cai Lang turn around, pick up the clothes around him and drape them on his body, this time he went out to the wind and sun, and his face was also roasted off, and it showed a little bit of the perseverance of an adult man, Zhou Wei couldn't help but blush, and said in her heart, sister, Zhong Xuan has grown up.

Zhou Hou walked out of the Jiaorong army camp where Cai Lang was in a complicated mood, and the stubborn centurion refused to change his words, and there was still a faint hostility towards himself in his eyes. But when he was angry that his reputation was tarnished and blamed that person, Cai Lang didn't say a word, could he still be that irresponsible person who ran to Bianliang in a daze was really his master?

"He's a man, and a man has to have his own responsibilities. Carrying a cloth bag of needlework in her hand, Elida skirted the wooden table, smoothed the folds in her dress, and sat down on the bench with the silver tea set, which sat upright and would not lean back no matter how tired she was.

"However, the newlywed Yan'er, he abandoned you in Ganzhou and took the delicate Mrs. Han to Bianliang, which is too ruthless. Aunt Aguli spread her hands and continued to chatter. Ever since Wu Yingying left the Uighur princess Elidai in Ganzhou, he has become the biggest villain in the world in Aguli's mouth, "My Elidai, what are you not as good as that Han lady, not as beautiful as her or not as knowledgeable as her? She closed her lips suddenly, as Jingqiong Khan appeared at Eleda's door.

The lost Jingqiong Khan is fatter than before, his figure is already taller than ordinary people, his shoulders are broad and his back is thick, if it weren't for the pointed hat with gold threads and silver edges on his head, he would be more like an old brown bear with drooping eyelids, he tried to hide his gloomy eyes, stood at the door, and looked at his daughter who had been alone in the empty room with a little guilt. He had heard Aguli complaining about Wu Yingying's words just now, but wasn't it his useless father who gave the brightest star in the Uighur tribe with his hands?

Despite losing ground, Jing Qiong was followed by two servants, one carrying a bearskin coat for him and the other carrying his helmet, both of whom were trained followers, standing at the door, the shrine looking respectfully at Jing Qiong Khan, as if he were still the leader of hundreds of thousands of Uighurs in Ganzhou.

Seeing her father walk in, Alidai stood up happily, almost jumped into her father's arms, even the shawl slipped to the ground, her dark curly hair was draped directly on her slender and smooth shoulders, and her smooth and slender arms suddenly wrapped around Jingqiong's neck: "Father, how can you come in to see me?"

After the surrender of the Uighur tribes in Ganzhou, Wu unceremoniously broke up the Uighur tribes and reorganized them, and all the powerful warriors were added to the armies, and the subordinates were also divided into sergeants as shade households. In the past, the Uighurs had taken refuge in the Central Plains court only to set aside a place for them to live and multiply, but this time the entire tribe of nobles lost their power. Wu Yingying felt that instead of being the first rat and the rat, it was better to simply support those Uighur warriors with shallow roots, and completely failed to take care of the original nobles, the original tribal nobles were not as powerful as before, and even some nobles who had no children in their families to become sergeants were forced to serve as shadows for the original slaves and commoners. These people ran to Jing Qiong every day to cry. In order to avoid trouble, Wu Yingying simply planned to gradually replace Jing Qiong in the Uighur tribe with Ali Dai, and ordered that Jing Qiong Khan should not meet the Uighur princess without his permission.

Jing Qiong looked at Alyselle's surprised expression with emotion, and said in a deep voice: "Although your husband is very guarded, you Uighurs are not dough for him to cinch flat. Alyselle stiffened, her long, thick eyelashes twitched twice as she broke free from her father's embrace and walked back to the bench and sat down. "Father, are you still contacting your people to resist?" she asked with a slight hesitation.

"Why don't you resist?" Jingqiong Khan rebuked with some annoyance, "Your husband has bad intentions, and he has promoted the white-eyed wolf of humble origin, and the eagle of noble blood among the Uighurs has now been cut off and kept in captivity like a chicken." After a pause, noticing the gloomy look in his daughter's eyes, he took two steps forward, stroked the thick black braid of Ellida's head, and said in a deep voice, "Good daughter, you must remember that you are not only a Uighur, but also a Uighur princess. ”

Exiting Elida's room, two Uighur youths immediately met Jingqiong Khan, both of whom were the leaders of the younger generation of Uighur aristocratic rebels. Tong Luo is burly, with light gray hair, upright and delicate facial features, his face looks quiet and handsome, Si Jie is not tall, he has golden hair, a short beard on his lips, and his impulsive and sensitive personality is very easy to show from his face.

"Khan, did the princess promise to contact the newly promoted warriors for us?" asked Si Jie, a little anxious. This time, he was able to come to visit the princess, all thanks to the accommodation of a few princess guards who were usually good friends, and Wu Yingying only forbade Jingqiong Khan to openly associate closely with the Uighur princess, sharing the momentum he had created.

"You have to take your time. Jing Qiong sighed a little frustratedly, not only was Ali Dai unwilling to contact the white-eyed wolves who were newly promoted by Wu Yingying for herself, but said that the forces of the Anxi Army were just like the beginning of the day, and the tribes of the north and south of the desert avoided it, who would dare to take the initiative to provoke and persuade herself not to embarrass her husband again, "Sure enough, it is a girl who is outgoing." Jingqiong Khan scolded in his heart.
