On top of the dunes, there is a tent with a purple horn at the top.

This is a symbol of the supreme power of the barbarian royal court, a bit similar to the Jin Wu Xuan of the Qianguo, which is only the "emperor" can be used by the dignity of the utensil, and its symbolic meaning is far more than the actual use itself.

There were three such tents in the royal court in history, and on the top of each one was a purple horn.

The unicorn comes from Pixiu.

In history, there are two generations of emperors of the Ji family who died in battle, and their crotch mount Pixiu was also taken away by the barbarians, and their horns were cut off as utensils, and the third was left after the death of a commander of the Yan State.

Only a beast with a truly noble bloodline would give birth to such a purple horn on the top of its head, and the barbarians regarded it as a trophy of war and a symbol of honor.

However, in history, when the barbarians marched west a hundred years ago, one of these tents was lost in the west;

In addition, there is another top, which was not long after the first Zhenbei Hou guarded the desert, and was chased by the barbarian royal court led by his iron cavalry and snatched it back.

In other words, at present, there is only one tent left in the royal court, but it appears here.

Outside the tent, there stood a middle-aged man dressed in animal skin, his hair was red, his eyes were glowing with amber, but his face was dark and rough with the barbarian.

According to legend, the king of the barbarian royal court was a mixed race, his father was a Roman, and his mother was a barbarian slave.

When he was a teenager, he returned to the barbarians, grew up all the way, and eventually, became the king of the right valley.

He stood there, looking ahead, and there, there was a black cavalry team, waving the black dragon flag of the Yan Kingdom, and was heading here.

In the ranks, there was a carriage.

There was a young man in the lead, dressed in golden armor, and his body exuded heroism, like a rock.

When he came to the tent and saw the purple horn on the tent, his face showed a look of anger.

The king of the right valley smiled slightly, perhaps because he had lived in Rome when he was a child, and he still had some Western shadows left on him.

The eyes of the two men met in the air, but there was nothing rubbed out, but one was calm and introverted, the other was domineering and exposed, and it was impossible to talk about who lost and who won or worse, it can only be said that each has its own merits.

The young man in the golden armor wanted to ride his horse forward, but was stopped by the king of the right valley reaching out.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to check the tent!"

The right valley king said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, only one person under my barbarian clan can enter this tent, you can rest assured."

"Why should I believe you!"

A smile appeared at the corner of the right valley Li Wang's mouth, and his eyes looked even more bewitching in the sun:

"Nothing to believe or not, you only came with a hundred horsemen this time, and none of the few general soldiers left behind came, if you really plan to do something, I can shoot alone.

I admit that Your Highness does have the talent to practice martial arts, and at a young age, he is already in the realm of a four-rank martial artist, and in time, his martial arts achievements will be limitless, but at the moment, you are not my opponent. ”

Saying,

The king of the right valley raised his hand, pointed to the carriage that was slowly approaching in front of him, and said:

"The nobles in the carriage are not worried about this, why should you break the rules, Your Highness?"

"Is the kid of the Ji family, come in and let Ben Khan take a look."

Inside the tent, an old voice was heard.

The king of the right valley withdrew his hand.

Ji Wujiang turned over and dismounted, walked to the tent, and arched his hand:

"Ji Wujiang has come to meet the Barbarian Khan King."

"Hehe, it's really changed, the people of the Ji family have actually begun to understand etiquette, hehe."

Ji Wujiang lifted the curtain of the tent and saw an old man in gorgeous clothes sitting cross-legged inside, the old man was very old, curled up inside, where there was a half-point barbarian king posture, and the old rich man on the Yanguo farm was almost inseparable.

"What's the matter, even if your Ji family is now learning to look like a dog, I barbarian will have to drink blood all the time?"

Ji Wujiang walked into the tent.

"The boy of the Ji family was born really mighty, but unfortunately, the Ji family has not been to the desert in person for many years, and Ben Khan almost thought that the children and grandchildren of the Ji family had begun to indulge in pleasure and could no longer eat the sand of this desert."

A hundred years ago, the barbarian royal court marched west and was defeated;

The first Zhenbei Marquis was given the title of Beifeng County and began to suppress the desert.

For hundreds of years, it has been the barbarian of Dayan, and since then it has not been able to take a step further, and the scene of the ancestor emperor of the Ji family who drove to the desert again and again is indeed about to become a very distant memory.

"Desert, I've always wanted to come, but I didn't have to."

"These words are indeed the tone of the Ji family doll." Without the slightest anger, the barbarian king pointed to a glass of mare's milk wine in front of him and said, "Drink." ”

Ji Wujiang didn't lose his share, he directly raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"How?" The Barbarian King asked.

"It's terrible."

"Hahahaha........."

The barbarian king laughed loudly, and then said:

"Ben Khan still has Westerners' wine here, in a few days, send someone to give you some, wine, just drink it separately to be interesting."

"Then the boy will thank King Khan."

The old barbarian king has always behaved like an elder, although the two sides are hostile, and now it is even more tense, but Ji Wujiang has also slowly changed his previous arrogance and began to reveal the posture of a junior.

"Ben Khan has actually been very scared in his heart, afraid that he will not be able to let the Ji family ride a horse to the desert until he kicks his legs."

There is something in these words,

Because the Li family's defense of the desert is too steady, there is no need for the princes of the Ji family in the past dynasties to drive the expedition in person, and the way to let the Ji family appear in the desert again is that the Li family is about to lose the situation.

It's a pity that I can't wait for this opportunity, and it is difficult to achieve this goal.

The ancestors had fought with Zhu Ji here for hundreds of years, but in their own generation, the Ji family was not happy to come to the desert, which can really be said to be shameless to see the ancestors.

"In the future, the kid can come and see it often."

The old barbarian king shook his head and said:

"Aren't you fighting for the throne?"

This is a very direct question.

Ji Wujiang smiled:

"I don't have that brain."

"Since ancient times, there have been many people who have no brains to be kings and emperors.

You tell Ben Khan honestly, this emperor, do you want to do it? ”

Ji Wujiang didn't hide it, here, there is really no need to hide it, and as a prince, he actually knows his father's temper very well, and his father is actually really open-minded to a certain extent.

"I want to sit."

Who wouldn't want to sit on that dragon chair.

But in this world, there is no reason why you have to realize it if you think about it.

"I heard that the crown prince of Emperor Yan is your second brother?"

"Yes."

"Oh, too, the second prince's uncle is the Marquis of Jingnan, and the father-in-law will still be the Marquis of Zhenbei in the future, if he doesn't sit in that position, who will sit.

It's a pity for you, who told you that you were from a bad background. ”

The mother concubine of the prince of Yan is a maidservant.

Ji Wujiang nodded and said with emotion: "Yes." ”

"Hehehehehe, hahahahaha!"

The old barbarian king stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Wujiang and said:

"You muddy boy, it is in line with Ben Khan's appetite, you have no family background, Ben Khan can give you a family background."

The family background here naturally refers to the "wife family".

Whether it is in this era or in the future, there are probably three direct family relationships for a person, one is from his father, the second is from his mother, and the third is his wife.

"Does the King of Khan want to sit on the throne of the royal court for me?"

"You kid, if you really let you sit, your father will definitely be willing, even if he is nominally a favor with you, he will not hesitate at all, but in this position, you are a Yan person or a Ji family, can you sit down?

Ben Khan has a young daughter, who is the pearl of the desert, and if you want it, Ben Khan can marry you. ”

"What about the dowry?"

"The people of the Ji family are really still so shameless."

"Since the old Khan King wants me to call you my father-in-law, I have to pay a change of mouth."

The old barbarian king stretched out a finger,

Road:

"Ten thousand royal court cavalry."

"Less."

"Where's the face?"

"The second one, the north of the town, the south of the marquis, add up to hundreds of thousands of iron horses, you will give me 10,000? Son-in-law, how can I fight for the throne? ”

"Wujiang, don't embarrass that old man, there are still a few or two families left in him who doesn't know, you can't pull anything if you want to."

The old lady's voice came from outside the tent.

Ji Wujiang took the initiative to walk to the entrance of the tent, lifted the tent, and saw that the king of Yougu Li, who had not preserved to him before, was bowing down to the old lady at this time.

The Li family has guarded the desert for a hundred years,

A hundred years, it's really long enough,

It has been so long that the barbarians are now afraid of the Li family, not the Ji family.

His identity as the prince of Yan is not as good as that of the contemporary Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

"Auntie."

Ji Wujiang took the initiative to reach out and support the old lady's arm.

This way

The old barbarian king, who had been lazily curled up there, also staggered to his feet,

coughed a few times,

Laughed:

"I've seen the Li family's sister."

The old lady smiled slightly, nodded and said:

"I've seen the right brother."

One is the Great Khan of the Barbarian Royal Court, a genuine barbarian king;

One is Mrs. Hou of Zhenbei, who is also a character in the north who stomps on the ground and gets three shocks;

But when it comes to saying hello,

But it's like a greeting from an old neighbor when they meet.

"My brother Li is going to the south to be happy?

I said, Sister of the Li family, don't you know what kind of virtue a man is?

He went out and was happy, leaving you at home, which was really not authentic.

I've heard that the women in the south of the Qianguo Jiangnan are all alive and fragrant, and they can't be sure that the elder brother of the Li family will have a new love there. ”

"The family is too poor, so poor that they can't open the pot, men, they have to go out and sell their strength to earn some money to spend.

This is not right now, the daughter is about to get married, so you have to buy some dowry, so as not to be angry after the girl marries. ”

"The eldest sister of the Li family, you can't see the outside, your daughter, even if I have grown up, my royal court deserves to add a share of the dowry she married."

What kind of means the county lord of Zhenbei Houfu used to deal with the desert barbarians is almost known to the world, how the Shatuo tribe was exterminated, and how the king of the left valley of the royal court fell.

But despite this, this dowry is not a joke.

"Don't bother my brother, brother, you're not having a good time."

"Hey, it's not bad at all."

"Heh, now the year is not good, everyone is living a tight life, brother, if you have this heart, don't think about coming to my house to play the autumn breeze, my Li family will be satisfied."

"You can't say that."

The old barbarian king's face began to become serious, and he continued:

"In the early years, although my barbarian life was hard, but I was able to open meat every year, and now it's okay, since you came to the Li family, I have directly lived a hard life of almost a hundred years, this day is difficult."

"It's not a drop, my Li family was in Yinlang County in the early years, and it was also a rich and noble family, since I moved to the edge of this desert, not to mention the sand that I have eaten for a hundred years, the men of the Li family are very difficult to eat even meat on weekdays."

"So, sister of the Li family, this person lives for a lifetime, why bother to suffer himself?"

The old lady nodded.

"Actually, I've been old neighbors for so many years, and we always have to read some affection, and I won't waste that tongue anymore, saying nonsense about you and me joining forces to get rich and rich.

Since your sister of the Li family wants to invite me out to talk, then I will give you this face. ”

The old lady spoke:

"Barbarian soldiers, no further east."

The old barbarian king sat down slowly,

Road:

"In the past, when your Li family's 300,000 iron horsemen were all there, even if we wanted to come in, we couldn't get in.

But now, we want to come in, can you stop it? ”

Originally, the territory guarded by the 300,000 Zhenbei Army in the Six Towns is now less than 100,000 left, and the control has been weakened too much at once, and it is really difficult to block the barbarians from coming in.

What's more, this time, under the call of the royal court, the barbarians not only have 100,000 cavalry in the royal court, but also many tribes that responded to the call, and they can also make up more than 200,000 cavalry.

In the past, when the 300,000 Zhenbei Army was there, the barbarian tribes did not dare to gather with such fanfare, because they knew very well that even if everyone was 300,000 against 300,000, their side would inevitably be completely defeated.

But now, it is precisely because they see hope that many big tribes who had long since not listened to the royal court's greetings have reunited under the banner of the royal court this time.

The old lady spoke:

"The old man came today to negotiate a deal with the Great Khan."

"Mrs. Hou, please speak."

"This time, as long as the barbarians don't cross the border, in the next ten years, my town Beihou Mansion and my Dayan will not step into the desert again."

Although large-scale battles between the two sides have been rare in the past few decades, the Zhenbei Army still comes over from time to time to find some battles to fight, knowing that the living conditions in the desert are poor, so they help them reduce the number of soldiers and relieve the population pressure.

Like Li Fusheng, he can become the director of the Family Planning Office in the future.

The old barbarian king waited for a while,

Then it seemed to come to my senses,

Laughed:

"That's it?"

I don't take the initiative to beat you for ten years,

This is a fucking gift too?

For a while, the old barbarian king really had some mixed feelings in his heart.

"Not satisfied?" The old lady asked.

"It's not a question of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, this price is really too low, you Dayan didn't even pay anything, and Ben Khan can't explain it to his people."

The old lady nodded and said:

"I'm not very good at doing business."

"Look."

"I'm better at talking with a knife."

"Now you can't compare to a knife, but you can't compare to Ben Khan."

The old lady is colorful:

"Once the barbarians cross the border, my 100,000 Zhenbei army will all be killed into the desert, pointing directly at your barbarian royal court!"

The old barbarian king's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Lao Tzu's family can not be, Lao Tzu's nest can also be not, fight your barbarians to burn and loot in my house, but I must also destroy your royal court!

The old lady continued:

"100,000 Zhenbei Army, do not destroy the royal court and swear not to return!"

The desert is not exactly sand, but there are many oases inside.

Barbarian tribes can indeed migrate, but their migration is based on climate and water and grass, and has its own laws.

Even if the royal court kept running, kept fleeing, and never fought, in this process of being driven away, the loss of the tribe was extremely terrifying.

Later generations Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty had launched many such seemingly small expeditions in the later period, although the beheadings were not many, but the consumption of the tribe in the process of escape could not be ignored.

The most important thing is that the old barbarian king knows that the other tribes, especially the big tribes, are happy to see that it is best for the royal court and the Yan people to fight to the end.

If they go east together, they will listen to their own dispatch, but when the Yan people kill into the desert, as long as the Yan people do not fight themselves, they will watch from the sidelines.

The old barbarian king rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"Your Li family, are you threatening Ben Khan?"

"Yes."

"Ben Khan may be able to learn from you, to be honest, Ben Khan has also lived for many years, and he has lived enough, you say, can Ben Khan also sacrifice and change a broader sky for my barbarians?"

The old lady looked at Ji Wujiang and said:

"Take out Your Majesty's secret decree and present it to the Old Khan."

Ji Wujiang nodded, took out the secret decree from his arms, and handed it to the old barbarian king.

The old barbarian king weighed the secret decree in his hand,

Slowly open,

The secret message is very short, just a few lines.

It is the handwriting of Emperor Yan,

But after seeing these few lines,

The old barbarian king's body trembled violently,

Looking up at the old lady,

"You Li family, don't ........."

Turn

The old barbarian king glared at the great prince again,

"The surname Ji is really crazy, they are all crazy!!"

In other words,

The old barbarian king fiercely held the secret decree in his hand, and said viciously:

"Ben Khan waits, waits, waits, waits to see how you Yan people bring about your own destruction!

It's just that my barbarians don't make a move, but Ben Khan doesn't believe it, this destiny will be in your Dayan! ”

When people are afraid, they become angry;

When people are in a panic, they will lose their moments.

talk

It ends this way.

The old lady got into the carriage,

And at this time, the eldest prince Ji Wujiang also followed in and said:

"Auntie."

The old lady didn't seem to be surprised at all, in fact, as His Majesty's first child, the eldest prince had been in the Hou Mansion for a period of time at a very early age, and was personally taken by the old lady.

This is already a tradition of the royal family and the Li family, just like when the emperor let His Majesty and Li Liangting grow up together.

"Do you want to know what is written on your father's secret decree?"

"Yes."

"The old body didn't read the secret decree."

"But I'm sure my aunt can guess what my father wrote."

The eldest prince knew that this old lady was unusual, and even, he knew that his father and the Marquis of Zhenbei had regarded her as his sweetheart together.

It can be said that if the old lady was willing, she is now the queen of the dynasty and the mother of the world.

However, Mrs. Hou in Zhenbei, in fact, does not seem to be very different from the queen.

"I'll help you guess."

"Aunt Xie solves the puzzle." The eldest prince made a listening motion.

The old lady smiled slightly, imitating Emperor Yan's tone and said:

"If the barbarians take advantage of the war of the Great Yan Kingdom to cross the border, then I will cede most of the territory of the Great Yan to Tongqian and Jin to seek peace, and instead send the whole country's troops to the desert, and the barbarians will not die!

The Ji family can be destroyed,

Dayan can die,

Barbarians are not allowed to march eastward! ”
