As soon as the Khan of the Su tribe said a word, the princes honestly shut their mouths. I just saw that the person above walked down the steps with a steady step, and stood in front of Xiao Huaijin and looked carefully: "I really want to exchange you for Gazan." ”

After hearing this, Wanxiang knew that Gazan, who was far away in the Central Plains, was not well.

"Khan thought, just do it."

"But I don't think you're going to fall like that. Your resolute look tells me that you have other preparations. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time and didn't speak, and then they both laughed: "Xiao'er, the prince forgive me." ”

The attitude of the world is very different, so that Wanxiang is startled.

"The prince is brave and has a khanish bearing."

"Then I will ask King Pingnan today, is there still a place for you in the Central Plains?"

Wanxiang couldn't think of anything else in the Central Plains, but she heard Xiao Huaijin next to her answer softly: "Yes." ”

"Good!" The Khan of the Su tribe picked up the wine cup and saluted Xiao Huaijin: "Respect the prince." ”

"This ......" The prince, who had just pointed a knife at Akika, seemed to wonder why his father had suddenly changed so much, and he didn't know what the two of them had said between their words, so he was shocked and puzzled.

Don't say it's him, even Wanxiang doesn't know what Xiao Huaijin is talking about.

At the end of the night banquet, the two of them were sent back to their residence, and as soon as they closed the door, Wanxiang couldn't wait to ask Xiao Huaijin: "Lord Wang, what's going on?" ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Huaijin picked up the glass lampshade and cut off the wick, and the light in the room was half dimmed.

"What are you talking about? The whole world is not the king's land, as soon as we enter the Central Plains, won't we be sheep in the mouth of the tiger? ”

"What do you think? Do you want to stay in the Su? ”

"At the very least, there is a better chance of staying in the Su tribe to survive."

"But you also saw the situation just now, our life in Beisai will not be easy, do you think I am really rare surnamed Xiao? Will you really remember your father's teachings? He personally ordered his mother to be strangled.

Sending people under the fence is not the way to go. ”

"So just now, the khan acquiesced to the prince's request to return to the Central Plains?"

"Actually, the Khan of the Su tribe wishes that I would go back and make trouble with the little emperor, and if there is chaos in the court, he will have a chance to pick up the cheap."

"What about Gazan? Gazan must be having a hard time in the imperial city at this moment, he doesn't plan to care about Gazan? ”

Xiao Huaijin put down the scissors and looked up at Wanxiang: "What do you think?" You can see that he knew it when he was anxious to get rid of Gayang, and once the chess pieces were useless, he decisively abandoned the pawns.

My own daughter is no exception, this is the Khan of the Su tribe that I am afraid of in my impression. His princess was noble and humble. ”

Hearing such words, Wanxiang actually felt sad for Gazan: "I thought it was sad enough that I had no father and no mother, but I didn't expect Gazan to be just as miserable." ”

Saying that, Wanxiang leaned on Xiao Huaijin's back and rested his chin on his shoulder: "And I can still follow the prince, it's not bitter." ”

Xiao Huaijin held the hand that Wanxiang put on his waist, as close as ever: "Wanxiang, the road in the future will be more dangerous." ”

"yes, it's more sinister. I thought I knew you well enough, but today I feel like you don't tell me a lot of things. The slender fingers scratched the wound on Xiao Huaijin's arm, and his tone seemed to blame and lament.

"When you go back, you'll know everything."

"In the past few days, I often dream of the noisy market in Beixun, and I still think about the chestnut candy in the imperial city." Wanxiang withdrew and knelt beside the desk and tilted her head to look at Xiao Huaijin, with a smile and a smile: "Just listen to the prince, let's go back." ”

So on the second day, Ah Tu went out with two letters from Xiao Huaijin and Wanxiang, one to Beixun and the other to the imperial city.

Within a month, news came from Beixun that Qi Hou and the Empress Dowager had completely broken with each other, and the Qi clan headed by him had successively dragged off the Empress Dowager's other forces in the court, and took advantage of the situation to collect some military power in hand.

Originally, the little emperor thought that he had hit Qi Hou hard, but he didn't want him to rise to the ground and make people powerless. It makes people unable to find any flaws for a while, even the emperor is helpless.

He still remembers Qi Wei, how could the pain of losing a child pass like that? pretended to be lonely, and the little emperor really believed it.

There are more and more strange things, Chaocheng's daughter was tarnished by the little emperor's nephew, and she committed suicide with a crippled face, and was forced to kill her nephew under pressure from the little emperor.

The eldest princess was resentful and estranged from the little emperor, and took her husband to stand with Qi Hou.

Bai Xiuzi adhered to the Bai family's family motto and swore loyalty to the imperial court, and soon there was a situation in which the two parties of Qi and Bai were fighting each other.

The hussar general who was crowned in the Battle of Beisai was a disciple of Bai Xiuzi, who was lightly slashed by the assassin and died of severe poison, and there was only a token from the Taishi Mansion in the firewood room.

I don't know if someone was secretly helping or what, but the assassin was nowhere to be found, and he didn't find him. Because he was afraid that Qi Hou didn't want to offend Bai Xiuzi, the son of the Taishi came out to confess again, and in the end, he just exiled the son of the Taishi without dismissal.

So rumors spread that the emperor deliberately favored the Taishi. Some people's hearts are also cold.

At this time, the little emperor found that without the control of the Empress Dowager and the support of Qi Hou, it would be difficult for him to control these cunning and well-operated ministers in the court.

After all, he was less than twenty years old, and he was protected by the former prince and the empress dowager, and he had never experienced such turmoil, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.

It's just a month, two letters are delivered, and that's it.

Ah Tu, who originally wanted to keep Xiao Huaijin, didn't dare to leave a master like him who was already a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound.

So he began to arrange for Xiao Huaijin to be sent back to Guannei.

Just the day before leaving, when Xiao Huaijin was practicing swords in the courtyard, Ah Tu walked to Wanxiang's side: "He's almost fine." ”

Wanxiang glanced back at Ah Tu: "Fortunately, the wound is healed, otherwise it will be difficult in midsummer." When I move, I sweat and it hurts. ”

He actually left so many fuses outside the court, and without saying a word, he put the emperor of the Central Plains on the fire pit. Now I know why Gazan insisted on marrying him as a concubine. ”

Juanxiang's eyes flashed like that again: "Of course, he is my husband." ”

"I can see that he doesn't have any feelings for Gazan either, so there's something I want to ask you for."

"You say."

"Now that Beisai has been traumatized, the princes of Yupu are still hostage in the Central Plains, and Father Khan's mind at the moment is not on Gazan.

So if she is in trouble in the Central Plains, please save her life, and send Gazan back to me if you have the chance. ”

Wanxiang sighed lightly and put her hands behind her back: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

"Why?"

"Think about your father Khan, and then think about her infatuation with the prince, I'm afraid that your sister is not willing to come back."

Ah Tu turned around and saluted Juanxiang: "I know it will be a little difficult, but I believe you must have the ability." The right should be to repay me for saving the lives of your husband and wife. ”

His words can be regarded as reaching the heart of Wanxiang, put down the corners of his mouth that were originally raised, secretly gently squeezed his fingers, looked at Xiao Huaijin in front of him and replied: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Then I'm relieved."

"It's the most troublesome thing to promise someone, and if you can't do it, wouldn't it be a broken promise? A-Niang taught me that breaking my word is to rot my mouth. ”

"Have you never deceived anyone in your life?"

"Of course I did, but those are the ones who should be lied, not the same as giving promises." Speaking of promises, Wanxiang suddenly remembered Xiao Jingyu who was crying before leaving.

So he asked Ah Tu: "I saw Gazan playing the eagle bone flute in the mansion before, can Prince Ah Tu help me get a pair?" ”

"Simple, I'll hand it over to you tomorrow."

"Okay." Wanxiang nodded and sat on the stone bench, lifted her red sleeves and poured tea, and sighed unconsciously: "This time, I don't know what kind of fate it is." I hope Gazan still lives well in the Central Plains. ”

……

The next day, Wanxiang and Xiao Huaijin turned into merchants and followed the caravan under Ah Tu's men to send fruit wine into the city, all the way to the foot of Eagle's Beak Peak.

In the continuous mountains, a peak-like eagle's beak is trembling, standing proudly. The mountain road is twisting and turning, and it is difficult for the car to go up.

But Xiao Huaijin did not climb the mountain with Wanxiang, but drilled through a cave at the foot of the mountain and walked down with the river.

In the end, Wanxiang was supported by Xiao Huaijin on the hill, forgetting that there were many topless dead soldiers fighting each other under the steep cliff. The mountains and forests are like a barrier to block this place

"This is ......" Wanxiang forgot to close her mouth in shock, staring at everything in front of her without moving.
