On this day, the weather was fine, the sky was blue and blue, and it seemed that it was not affected by the dramatic debut that happened in Beidi Dadu a few days ago)

A slightly antique courtyard in the capital, the Central Plains-style cornices are made of green tiles with Jiangnan characteristics, and under the eaves, a young woman is talking.

"Now there is news in the palace that the Great Khan of Beidi has been very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Great Prince raising too many staff, and has issued an order to let the Great Prince dismiss the staff of the palace within half a year, therefore, the grumpy Great Prince jumped on the court for the first time, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Great Khan even more, and now he has issued an order for house arrest, and the Great Prince cannot leave the Great Prince's Mansion for three months, and now, it is our best time."

On the opposite side of Qin Yunuan, one is Leng Changxi, the god of war of Daqi, and the other is Wanyansu, the prince of Beidi, these two men whose identities and means cannot be underestimated are listening carefully to Qin Yunuan's analysis at this time, and sometimes nodding in agreement, when a maid comes to serve tea, Qin Yunuan naturally turned around when she heard the voice, but unfortunately Yaqi, who served the tea, shook her hand, and the tea was splashed silently, but fortunately, Qin Yunuan dodged dexterously and dodged.

But this dodge surprised Wan Yansu, and he pointed at Qin Yunuan with a long mouth: "Mrs. Tuoba, your eyes are not ....... ”

Leng Changxi took a sip of tea indifferently: "Just listen to the sound and distinguish things, I will teach her." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled at Wan Yan Su, her tirade had already made her mouth dry, she poured half a cup of tea, turned her head to Wan Yan Su and said, "So the fourth prince, can I do what I said?" ”

Wan Yan Su hesitated slightly, and said seriously: "It's not impossible for you to let me send people into the Savage Valley when my eldest brother is weak, it's just that the Savage Valley is a headache for my father, and if I do this, I'm not afraid that my father will also alienate me?" ”

Leng Changxi snorted coldly: "The Great Khan is already alienating you enough, can it be even more alienated?" ”

Wan Yan Su's face stiffened, but he heard Qin Yunuan say slowly: "Naturally, the invincible Great Khan will not agree, but have you forgotten, that Song Lian beside Wan Yan Ba?" ”

"That Qi man?" Wan Yansu thought for a while, "You want to buy him?" But his life was saved by the eldest brother, and you Qi people have always taken the grace of saving lives very seriously, so over the years, no matter how nuè'dài he was and ridiculed by the eldest brother's identity, he was willing to follow the eldest brother as a cow and a horse. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Qin Yunuan smiled, "I heard that Song Lian is not only proficient in the art of strategy and war, but also knows all Chinese, and even knows a little about the ancient Khitan language, he is an opportunity for us." ”

The Khitan used to be the largest power that ruled the entire continent, and the Lingnan region of the Western Xia in the west, the Eastern Qin in the east, the Beidi in the north, and the Great Qi in the south were all ancient Khitan territories, but for some reason the internal strife that occurred in this powerful kingdom later, and the great dynasty Yi'yè fell apart, leaving too many unsolved mysteries, and the endless treasures of the legendary heyday dynasty were also hidden in the dust of history.

Because Beidi occupied the most important economic and political center of the Khitan, the Great Khan of Beidi also had a dream of finding the Khitan treasure when he was young, but it has been fruitless, because no one knows where the Khitan treasure is, and even what this so-called treasure is;

The ruler's thirst for power and wealth was endless, and even at this age, the Great Khan of Beidi would sometimes have some thoughts about the Khitan treasures in the dead of night, more than this night.

The wind of the morning light is just right, and there is a wisp of osmanthus fragrance hidden in the wind, which is the spice specially prepared by the palace maids for the Great Khan of Beidi, and it is not yet time to get up, but there is a faint noise outside the door, Beidi Khan is old, and his sleep is shallow, and he was soon woken up by the sound of this Suosuo.

"Who is it?" Beidi Khan was a little dissatisfied, "Early in the morning, which one dares to disturb my rest if he doesn't follow the rules?" ”

The palace maid immediately pushed the door in, put on a silver mouse coat for the Great Khan, and replied: "Hui Da Khan, it is a ceremonial official, he said that a major event happened in the south of the capital, saying that a family dug up a stone tablet with words when building a house and laying the foundation, and it seems to be a very ancient text on it, saying that this is only afraid that the gods have appeared." ”

Beidi Khan immediately sat up in his clothes and suddenly said, "Ancient writing? By the way, isn't there a scholar in the Grand Prince's Mansion who is proficient in various Chinese languages? The eldest prince has not dismissed him yet, so summon him to the palace immediately. ”

The palace maid immediately bowed her knees and retreated, and after a while, a stone tablet with the spirit and the will of heaven descended on the streets and alleys of Dadu, compared with the Daqi people who believe in Buddhism, the Beidi people also have their own beliefs, they believe in the sun god who gave them the prairie, and they believe in the god of heaven who controls everything in the underworld, for them, the god of heaven is the supreme god, even the khan of the tribe, the great khan of Beidi is just a courtier in front of him.

This gust of wind is blowing more and more fiercely, and with the crazy rise of yu'lun, there are already countless people who believe that this is the will of the gods.

In the court, Song Lian was dressed as a scholar, and he rubbed the unclear bulge on the stone tablet through a layer of silk veil, which was a strange stroke, and no one could understand it.

After a long time, Song Lian raised his head and said to the Great Khan of Beidi: "If the minister is not mistaken, the words on this should be the ancient Khitan language, the stone tablet of the Khitan is different from that of Beidi, the words of Beidi are sunken, but the Khitan carved stone tablet likes to protrude the words, just from this point, it is also certain that this stone tablet is definitely not something of the Beidi Dynasty." ”

As soon as they heard that it was an ancient Khitan thing, everyone's nerves seemed to be teased again.

Some people even scrambled to ask, "What does this mean?" What exactly is the will of the gods? ”

"A lot of handwriting is no longer clear," Song Lian shook his head and said, "I can only see two words clearly, one is treasure, and the other is a place name, called Snake Valley." ”

The ministers became even more excited one by one, could this be the legendary Khitan treasure? Back then, the Great Khan sent so many people to search for it but found nothing, and now, if it is really providence, will God help Beidi?

"Snake Valley?" The regent frowned and said, "Among the so many valleys in Beidi, none of them are called Snake Valley, could it be that this is in Western Xia and Daqi?" ”

"Uncle Huang is afraid that he has misremembered," Wan Yansu said indifferently, "Do you still remember that when my father led his troops to fight and passed through a valley, he once named that valley Snake Valley temporarily because there were many poisonous snakes and the miasma did not disperse. ”

"That's right," Beidi Khan nodded, speaking of this, he thought of the time when he fought in the north and south a few years ago, the fourth prince Wan Yansu in front of him was only seven or eight years old, but when he said that the snake valley was bitten by a poisonous snake, he was the first to run over, and sucked out the toxin with his mouth without hesitation, he was small, and he fainted after two sips, but this is the case, so that he has a kind of family warmth, this kind of warmth, he has not had it for a long time, the Great Khan looked at Wan Yansu meaningfully, and a little warm fatherly love swelled up in his eyes, "And the Snake Valley that I passed through back then, now, is the Valley of the Savages;

。 ”

The ministers were in an uproar, even though the treasure was precious, but everyone had heard of the deeds of eating people without spitting out bones in the Savage Valley, and all of a sudden, the court became very quiet, and Beidi Da Khan glanced at the people below with cold eyes, and said loudly: "What? The people who just said one by one that you want to find treasures for Beidi and make Beidi more rich and powerful stopped talking? ”

Going to the Savage Valley is a dead end, and everyone would rather be a turtle with a shrunken head than risk it and his men.

The regent pondered for a moment and persuaded: "Brother Huang, the terrain of the Savage Valley is dangerous, rarely inhabited, if you venture into it for the treasure, there is a chance that you will die, even if you can find the treasure of the ancient Khitan, whether the price paid is worth it is still to be discussed, the younger brother thinks it is ......." ”

"Don't talk about it!" Suddenly, a loud male voice sounded completely in the court, everyone looked for this voice, and when they saw this step forward, it was Wan Yansu who had just spoken at the forefront of everyone.

Wan Yansu's face was pale, and when he became serious, he was quite the color of a sweaty youth, he bent his knees forward, and half-knelt and said, "Erchen is willing to go." ”

Beidi Khan's eyes lit up: "Are you serious? ”

Wan Yansu nodded solemnly, and the eyes of the Great Khan of Beidi suddenly showed a sense of relief, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Khan all looked at each other, and some even gloated in their hearts, estimating, they just wanted to see how the four princes who were not afraid of tigers died when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

The news that the Great Prince would go to the Savage Valley to find the lost treasure of the ancient Khitan for the Great Khan of Beidi quickly spread to the Four Princes' Mansion, and the first ones to know were Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, this was the result they expected, no bad, very good.

Their plan at the beginning was that since everyone was afraid of the Savage Valley because of the rumors, then just find a more attractive rumor to make the Great Khan full of expectations for the Savage Valley, the ancient Khitan writing is very easy, although Lu Wuyi's ancestors have been practicing medicine in Daqi, but they have a forgotten identity, the surname Lu was originally a descendant of the ancient Khitan, and the writing of the ancient Khitan is simply a pen for Lu Wuyi, as for the stone tablet and how to put it in the foundation of other people's houses, there is Leng Changxi, it is a piece of cake.

Originally, all Anshun's plans were interrupted by the sound of women crying when Wan Yan Su stepped into the mansion.

With an intermittent choking sound, a big red voice rushed directly into Wan Yansu's arms and beat Wan Yansu's chest.

"You big bastard, you are so ruthless, why did you go to that hellish place, you will die, are you so cruel to leave me alone?"

"Yasu." Wanyan Su helped the person in his arms, and Yasu cried so much that it rained, making his heart uncomfortable.

"Concubine Fang, the fourth prince is also for the future, you should be considerate." Qin Yunuan didn't know when she appeared behind Wan Yansu and Yasu, Yasu saw Qin Yunuan, her face immediately changed, and she said angrily: "Naturally, you won't understand how sinister that place is, you can't come back if you go to the Four Princes, you just say that it's natural and easy, and you can go if you have the ability." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled and said: "Concubine Fang guessed correctly, Xianggong and I are going to follow everything." ”
