Chapter 6 Chess Chapter 4 Goodbye Endgame
Chapter 5 Straight to Loulan
Early the next morning, the trumpet of the Rouran army sounded and the camp gate was wide open.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, a group of brightly armored cavalry galloped out of the Rouran army and came to the Turkic camp to meet the princess.
This cavalry is far more luxurious than ordinary Rouran soldiers, all of them are strong and vigorous, and they are the guards of Rouran Khan.
Sitting in the carriage, Mulan, who had changed into women's clothes, said to the nurse under the car: The Khan sent out all the guards, and he attaches great importance to Kedun.
The nurse looked resentful: Womanizer!
After speaking, the nurse stepped forward and performed the marriage etiquette procedures with the Rouran team. At that time, the envoy who went to the Turks to issue an edict was in the greeting procession at this time, and when he went to the Turks, he had seen the nurse of Kedun, and he had no doubt that she had come to handle the greeting ceremony.
After completing the greeting procedure, the Rouran Army escorted the 'Turkic Princess' and her party to slowly march towards the Rouran military camp.
The Khan of Rouran sat in a large tent and waited for Kedun, and his heart was very happy.
He had learned through his spies that the Northern Wei Dynasty was running out of grain and grass, and victory was just around the corner. The Turks also obediently sent Kedun, and it seems that the Turks also completely surrendered to themselves. The reason why the Turks sent Kedun to the front-line army was also to let the Turks see with their own eyes that they had broken the Northern Wei Dynasty, so as to deter these small tribes on the steppe and continue to dominate the steppe in the future.
Of course, in order to show his attention to the Turks, and at the same time to show off his military might, he also sent his own pro-army to the Turkic military camp to welcome his relatives.
I heard that Na Kedun was born with a beautiful face and moon, and he had fun tonight, thinking of this, Khan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, I heard a commotion outside the tent, and then there was the sound of swords hitting each other, and the screams were heard, and the Khan knew that something had changed, and quickly got up and pulled out his waist knife to rush out of the tent, at this time, the footsteps sounded, and a team of people and horses rushed into the big tent, holding a long knife to surround the Khan, and then walked into a middle-aged man, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked at him arrogantly and coldly.
Khan exclaimed: Second brother, it's you!
Second brother: Big brother, you have repeatedly raised troops to the south but worked to no avail, how many warriors have been killed in our clan, and how many orphans and widows have been caused, you should give up the position of Khan!
The Khan's brother has always wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own. But he couldn't find an opportunity, so he began to support his cronies and cultivate his minions on weekdays. In this southern expedition, the confrontation was long and could not be won, and it was inevitable that some people in the army would become war-weary, and the Khan's brother just took advantage of the psychology of these people, saying that the Khan was reckless and reckless, and called on everyone to unite to overthrow the Khan. At this time, the Khan's guards were all sent out to meet the princess, and the Khan's Chinese army was empty, so the Khan's brother seized the opportunity to do something, but he didn't expect it to go very smoothly and entered the Khan's Chinese army tent in one fell swoop.
After the welcoming team set off, they were only halfway through the journey when they saw a Rouran cavalry galloping from the Rouran camp.
The sergeant didn't care about the etiquette before and after coming to the send-off procession, and stepped forward to whisper to the general of the guard. After saying a few words, the general of the guard army immediately changed his face, and ordered half of the men and horses to guard the Turkic send-off team, and then took the rest of the soldiers to the Rouran camp.
Mulan was curious, and opened the curtain of the carriage to look.
I saw that everything was as usual outside the Rouran camp, but there was a faint sound of shouting and killing and the sound of weapons fighting each other from inside.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Wang Tuo came to the carriage: Rouran seems to have civil unrest, will the action continue?
Mulan thought to herself: What is the situation? What the hell is going on? Rouran civil strife is the time for the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack, whether to kill at this time, take advantage of the chaos to kill Rouran Khan, but from the outside, everything is as usual, it seems that the scope of the rebellion is not large, he only has a hundred people, and he rushes forward at this time to send him to death. If you send a message to the Northern Wei army now, let them take advantage of the situation... However, there were Rouran guards around, and it was not feasible to be afraid that the messenger of the message would be killed before he could run out.
Hua Mulan thought left and right, and said to Wang Tuo: Wait and see.
A round of red sun gradually rose, and slowly the day was already noon. The shouts of killing and the sound of weapons striking in the Rouran camp gradually became quieter and quieter. But no one came to contact the team to send off the relatives, and it seemed that they had forgotten about them.
The red sun was setting in the west, and the camp of Rouran at this time could not hear any noise except for the occasional neighing of horses, and it was as quiet as if nothing had happened. The Rouran guards also looked anxiously at the camp.
Gradually, when dusk came, the sky darkened, and Rouran finally galloped out of the camp and came to the front of the team: please send the family into the camp.
The team of relatives marched to the front of the Rouran military camp, only to see the Rouran military camp open the camp door, the horn sounded, and there was no abnormality at all.
Accompanied by the Rouran guards, the Turkic send-off party was brought to the Khan's tent.
The Khan's tent was several times larger than an ordinary tent, and there were several times more guards at the tent gate.
A guard came to the carriage: Greet Madame, and ask Madame to enter the account and marry the Khan.
Hua Mulan checked that the dagger placed in her arms would not be found, and then opened the carriage door, got out of the carriage with the support of the nurse, and entered the big tent, and the rest of the Turks were stopped outside the tent.
When I entered the tent, I saw the lights in the big tent and I was beaming.
Hua Mulan was worried in her heart, because the day before yesterday she went into battle to compete with arrows, and Rouran Khan was also watching the battle in front of the battle, although she had changed into women's clothes at this time, and her appearance was very different from the day before yesterday, she was still afraid of being seen, so she lowered her head all the way from the moment she got out of the car. Others thought that Mrs. was shy, but they didn't care.
The nurse helped Mulan Yingying to bow down and saluted the Khan.
I only heard a loud voice from the other side: Madame doesn't have to be polite, from now on, I will be a family with the Turks haha.
The day before yesterday, I saw that Rouran Khan was over half a hundred years old in front of the battle, but this voice was very young, and Mulan couldn't help but be stunned.
The voice came again: Madame, please get up.
Hua Mulan secretly thought that she had carefully painted her makeup before setting off, and was wearing Turkic clothes, which was very different from when she had fought arrows before the battle, so she slowly stood up and raised her head.
I found that sitting on the throne of the Khan was actually a young warrior who had tried his archery skills the day before yesterday!
Hua Mulan's face couldn't help but change.
Seeing this, the guard next to him said: This is our new Khan.
It turned out that this person was the prince of Rouran, who led the army to quell the rebellion after the civil strife, and was elected as the new khan after killing the rebel generals. According to the customs of the nomads, the son could inherit all the women of the father except for the biological mother, so it was only natural that the Turkic bride should marry the new khan.
At this time, the new Khan looked at Mulan directly, and his face also changed.
Hua Mulan understands that the former khan may not be able to see it after she disguises herself, but the new khan attacked and killed her head-on that day, and she must have recognized herself at this time...
The new khan himself is a warrior of the three armies, and there are Rouran guards in the tent, and Mulan understands that it is impossible to assassinate the khan again at this time...
But she couldn't sit still, Mulan reached out and grabbed the dagger in her arms, thinking that as long as the Khan ordered to take people, she would do her best to kill one by one.
Unexpectedly, after the khan was stunned for a long time, he waved his hand and ordered: Madame stays, and everyone else goes out.
Only Khan and Mulan were left in the tent.
Khan got up and walked over to Mulan.
Mulan didn't know what he wanted, and stepped back slightly, holding the dagger tightly in her hand.
Khan: We steppe sons and daughters respect heroes, and the girl's archery skills shocked me that day, so I paid attention to you, and I wanted to make friends with you. I didn't expect to meet today, and I didn't expect you to be such a beautiful woman...
Mulan was stunned, she didn't expect Khan to say that.
Khan: I know you're not here today, but to hear the news, or to assassinate you!
Mulan was shocked.
Khan: I don't want to know what you're doing here. I just want to tell you, if you have a wife like you, what more could a husband ask for!
Hua Mulan's face suddenly turned red.
Khan: I'm just getting ready to get married today, maybe this is the fate of you and me! I don't care where the Turkic lady goes. But if you and I can get married, I am willing to stop fighting with you and stop the army, and be friendly for generations.
Hua Mulan slowly calmed down, thinking that it would be a good thing to be able to resolve the war here. And after that day's competition, he was also impressed by his heroics, this Rouran Khan is tall, broad-shouldered, handsome, and does have the capital to make women fall in love, and what is even more rare is that he is very sincere to himself...
Mulan let go of the dagger in her hand and reached out to wrap her arms around Khan's neck.
Khan picked up Mulan and walked to the couch behind the tent...
