There are many courtyards in the Imperial Palace, some of which are only built by the generals to practice archery in their spare time, and are generally idle. Recently, however, a half-grown Turkic boy came in, and this boy did not go out all day, except for three meals a day, and wreaked havoc in the courtyard with a horned bow against the target.

The Turkic boy had rough hands and never wore protective gear such as wrenches for holding his bow, and he would shoot hundreds of arrows every day from morning to afternoon, and he would never stop pulling his fingers to blood.

He stood on the steps of the courtyard, bent his horned bow to make a full moon, his fingers suddenly released, and the arrow shot out, hitting the red heart of the arrow target more than ninety paces away.

Li Siye stood at the door with his chest crossed, without applauding or praising him.

"A bow, no matter how far you shoot, can't have much effect."

Si Lu turned his head to look at him, his expression was stubborn and cold, and it took a long time before he said, "I don't want it to play a big role, as long as it can help me get revenge." ”

"Your enemy, Moga Khan, has ten tribes around him, each with three thousand archers like you, and hundreds of loyal guards to defend him from arrows, and he has solid armor that cannot even shoot through a crossbow. If you insist on being a man, unless you practice Hou Yi's ability to shoot the sun down, revenge is really far away. ”

"Then I'll look for an opportunity, he can't be wearing armor all the time and having a loyal guard standing in front of him every day to block arrows, right?"

"Hehe," Li Siye walked over with a smile, dusted off the steps, sat on it and said, "What a man can rely on is not only the sword in his hand, but also other things. ”

"What's that?"

He clenched his fists in the air: "Power and wrists, of course. Do you understand? With these two things, you can drive tens of thousands of people to fight for your goal, and at that time, no powerful enemy will have to be feared before you. ”

Silu bowed his head in frustration: "I'm just a small servant in the family of Ashina Khan, how dare I expect any power and skill." ”

Is it just a servant? He hoped that Si Lu's life experience would bring a little bit of confusing dog blood, which could remind people of some special identity.

"Who are your parents, do you remember?"

"I don't know, in the past, the Khan once said that my Abba was the old Khan's Ejin, and I will be his Ejin in the future. But Her Royal Highness did not say so, he said that a woman had abandoned me at the gate of the house late at night, and that the old khan had heard the cry when he got up at night, so he went out and carried me back. ”

Why did the old khan get up at night and bring you back, couldn't it be someone else? Following the great cause of the Khan's family, the mansion is wide, how far is the side house of the main hall from the courtyard door? Isn't there a bucket at home when you wake up at night, why do you want to go to the yard? The gatekeeper who lived by the gate did not hear it, and the servants did not hear it, but let the old khan hear it?

Li Siye exerted his power of association, and it is very likely that Silu is the illegitimate son of the old Khan Huaidao. Huaidao used to be the general of Tunwei, and he also belonged to a group of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an, and it was normal to mess with flowers and grass, but why didn't he dare to take the child into the house openly, the old khan was afraid of it? Kedun is a tigress, and it's possible.

"Shi Xin Khan has no heirs, and the lineage of inheriting the Khan is broken. Silu, if Huaidao Khan's spirit in heaven is known, will he be able to accept it? ”

The young man's cheeks twitched involuntarily, and he threw the horned bow at his feet and muttered, "I can't help this kind of thing." ”

Li Siye suddenly spoke: "Silu, you are very likely to be the heir of the old khan." ”

Slurry was taken aback, looked at him and scolded angrily, "You fart! How can you slander the innocence of Huaidao Khan! How could I be the son of the Khan of Huaidao! Brother of Shi Xin Khan! You Han people, far-fetched skills are really first-class! Ha, nonsense! ”

In the face of Silu's annoyance, Li Siye's tone did not change, and he continued to say in a homely tone: "Ashinabu's surname must be passed on, they are the wolf species of the Western Turks, who served the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Zhenguan and went through three generations of generals. Now Shi Xin's life is lost in Julan City, and there is no one to inherit General Zuotunwei, no one to inherit the Khan, and no one to inherit Mengchi Duhu. Don't you think it's a pity? ”

Si Lu silently lowered his head and did not speak, perhaps his heart had loosened a little.

Li Siye simply said a little too much: "The merits accumulated by the three generations of khans have disappeared like this, if they know under the spring, how can they be blind? What is this called, this is called extinction, no one cares if someone digs up the grave in the future, this is also called cutting off children and grandchildren, this is the result that the most vicious curse cannot be caused, no matter who slanders them in the future, no one will stand up and stand up, pitiful, pathetic. ”

"Who said no!" Slurry's eyes were red, like a furious and helpless monkey: "I am the heir of Huaidao Khan!" ”

"That's right," Li Siye stroked his palm, "Say it again." ”

As soon as he was about to open his mouth, he found that he had been deceived, glared at Li Siye and wanted to refute, but after pondering, he found that there was not much choice, and muttered: "Even if I am not a descendant of Ashina, I can take care of the tomb for Ashina's family and always maintain the reputation of Ashina's family." ”

"Since you don't think you're the son of their family, you're not qualified to say these things, and we'll find another abandoned son with a Turkic noble surname to pass on to the Khan, such as these tomb sweepers, tomb repairs, and he will inherit the Khan's name, which has nothing to do with you."

Feeling cornered, he muttered, "I am the heir of the Khan of Huaidao." ”

"And what is your first and last name now?"

The young man looked at him fixedly, and suddenly asked, "If I agree to your request, I would also like to make a request." ”

"Hey, this is a good thing for you, all of a sudden from a nameless servant to the first heir to the throne of the Khan, in the future, the beautiful concubine will not be mentioned, you dare to make a request?"

Si Lil pursed her lips tightly, and used silence to proclaim her protest and power.

"Okay," Li Siye tugged at the beard on his chin and nodded: "You mention it." ”

"I'm going to join your strikers."

"This won't work." Li Siye arbitrarily refused.

"Why?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen a khan as a soldier?"

"Then I'm going to be a captain."

"Don't be delusional, the captain needs to be experienced in a hundred battles and start from the soldiers, otherwise no one will be able to obey you."

"Then I'm going to be a soldier......"

“……”

After a period of bargaining, the two decided to add Lu to Li Siye's pro-soldier brigade, starting with a small team, which was the strangest request of the young man, and Li Siye warned him in advance that he might not learn anything by his side except to cut people with a knife.

Si Lu actually replied: "If you can practice the means of cutting people to the extreme, it is also quite amazing." ”

Li Siye was speechless, patted the young man's shoulder lightly and said, "When you leave, I will send someone to pick you up." ”

He turned and stood up from the steps and walked towards the courtyard door with his hands behind his back. The young man held his cheeks in his hands, and thought to himself for a while, before turning his head to look at his distant back and whispering, "My name is Ashina Lulu now." ”
