Chapter 120: King Khan

Zhu turned a deaf ear, Yang Hua smiled lightly as always, and Duan Qingyan said lazily: "What else can you see?" Isn't it a Tatar warrior? Wei Liao retreated in frustration, thought for a moment, and tucked the blade back into his shoe.

I stayed in this tent for two days, and every day I was brought food and tea, and the only inconvenience was Izugong, who was guarded by four Tatar warriors before and after each time, and was stared at with great eyes.

The first time I went out, the bamboo was really useless, and he shook it around and came back. The second time he thought of a trick, before going out, Zhu Yi touched Qingyan's face with both hands, and said softly: "Duan Lang, I'll come back." ”

She annoyed the Tartars with her feminine style, and finally passed the test safely, and the warriors turned sideways in disgust.

On the morning of the third day, the messenger of the Khan King finally appeared, and he led Zhu and the others to the golden tent between the camps.

The tent was glittering with gold, like a huge bowl with an upside-down buckle, and it covered a vast area, like a palace. The two rows of warriors in front of the tent are also dressed in gold armor, and the grassland lacks iron, but the leader of Thorn Mu'er has created a team of full-body armor warriors so extravagantly, and the wealth of the tribe can be seen.

Entering the tent, there were 100 guards lined up from the door to the innermost throne of the tent, all dressed in black armor, three points stronger than the golden-armored warriors outside the tent.

Zhu nodded secretly and looked up at the throne, but the leader of the thorny wood was an iron tower-like man, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little slack, showing some traces of indulgence.

Bamboo then looked around again, and sure enough, the golden tent was empty, only covered with bearskin tiger clothes, symbolizing the heroism of the master, and Bamboo Heart became more and more sure of the success of the plan.

When Bamboo looked at the big tent, Gulhan, who was sitting on the throne, was also looking at her, and he squinted, is this the sissy that his subordinates said? The man was thin and small, black as charcoal, but he stood very straight, and his eyes were shining, and he was familiar with this light, and whenever he negotiated with the messengers of the Nanban, the eyes of the Nanban were like this, and then the tribe had many fewer horses, and the things in exchange were less and less satisfactory.

Gulhan spoke with a calm face, the bamboo face was motionless with a smile, Duan Qingyan took a step forward and said in a low voice: "He asked you, did you deliberately let go of those two slaves?" ”

The smile on Zhu's face was even stronger, and she said aloud: "Will the eagles on the grassland be afraid of the strength of the ants?" Do wolves panic when a sheep appears? ”

Duan Qingyan translated her words word for word, but saw that Gul Khan's face was cloudy, and the warriors under the rank were talking about it.

Zhu took a deep breath, and his hoarse voice echoed in the tent: "Dear Gulhan, you are the eagle in the sky, you are the head wolf of the wolf pack, but your palace does not match you, the little king of Northern Chu, lives in a palace that is a hundred times more luxurious than you, enjoys rare wine, and serves all the stunning beauties around you, and I can present all this to you." ”

As soon as Duan Qingyan finished translating, the tent was silent, and the warriors in the audience suddenly burst out of Ula, Ula's shout, and their momentum was surging like a wolf.

Gulhan raised his hand, the warriors gradually quieted down, he stared at the bamboo, and asked in a low voice, Duan Qingyan said softly: "He asked you, why should he believe you." ”

With a flip of his hand, he took off an ebony bracelet from his wrist, which was dull and inconspicuous, but when he searched his body, he was mistaken by the Tartars.

The bamboo flicked on the bracelet a few times, and the bracelet suddenly split in half, and from the seven or eight pigeon-egg beads, shining like silver, made a crisp sound when they landed, and rolled around, and immediately a warrior picked it up and offered it to Gulhan.

Gulhan held a bead in his arms, he pinched a bead with his thumb and index finger, looked at it suspiciously for a long time, and the bamboo whispered a few words to Duan Qingyan, Duan Qingyan nodded, reached out and grabbed the thick felt mat on the ground, pulled out a few lumps, and raised it casually, the torches in the tent were suddenly extinguished, but the king of Khan seemed to hold a full moon in his hand.

That handful of beads exuded a faint cold light, shining half of the golden tent silver all over the ground, for a while, everyone was confused, mistakenly thinking that they were in the heavenly palace.

Pearl of the Night!

These beads are actually extremely rare night pearls, and any of them is worth a fortune, not to mention that these seven or eight beads are of average size.

The tent re-lit the torch, the king of Khan carefully put away the night pearl in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Duan Qingyan, he laughed a few times, asked a word, Duan Qingyan replied to him casually, but saw Gul Khan's neck shrunk, and the warriors under the tent pulled out their scimitars, their eyes widened angrily, and they scolded.

Three days later, Zhuhe sent them twenty miles away from Gulhan, and four people and four horses galloped on this grassland, heading towards the border of Northern Chu.

After half a day, the four of them got off their horses and rested, and Wei Liao finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "What did King Khan ask in the palace that day?" ”

Zhu stretched out his hand to stop Duan Qingyan, who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "Let me guess, the King of Khan must be saying that you are brave, and ask you if you are willing to compete with the warriors under your account, what if you say that it is not a torch that you just hit, but the head of the King Khan?" ”

Duan Qingyan was not surprised by Zhu's mind, nodded calmly, and said, "That's roughly what it means." ”

Duan Qingyan took the water bag from his waist, poured it hard, looked at the bamboo, and said with great certainty: "You were ready to see the Khan King when you saved those two Tatars, are you so sure that Gurhan will buy your account?" ”

The corners of the bamboo mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully: "For many years, the tribes on the grassland only trade with Northern Chu, and the two are often at war, how can Northern Chu sell really good things, not to mention, the Chu people will never let Gul Khan's luxury surpass that of the Chu Emperor." ”

Wei Liao asked again stupidly: "But you sell luxury goods, and you have a long way, once you make a mistake, you will lose all your money." ”

Zhu said calmly: "As long as one of the ten truckloads of goods is delivered, it is ten times the windfall profit, and this side Gurhan has already promised to accept our caravan, and the risk is greatly reduced." ”

Yang Hua, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "You trust Gulhan so much?" ”

Zhu glanced at him, and said categorically: "I don't trust," paused, and then said: "So I want to find an opportunity to contact the ancient tribe of Shang'er." ”

Duan Qingyan secretly thought, this way of doing business is not a military way, but it is necessary to learn more.

She stood up, pulled up the bamboo and pointed to the distance: "To the south from here, after a day and a night, you can reach a gap that I found when I led the troops in the past." ”

Zhu nodded and continued: "My subordinates should have hidden the clothes of the carriage, we will change our clothes then, and we can go back to Daning directly by the carriage." ”

Thinking of the sisters and father at home, I was like an arrow, and I hated to have wings and flew back to my house immediately.

Zhu and the others traveled day and night, and when they reached the gap indicated by Qingyan, they were all exhausted, and they were overjoyed to see the sheep intestine path, so they abandoned the horse and passed through.

After traveling three or five miles, he saw the code that had been agreed in advance, searched around, and found a carriage under a pile of branches, on which were placed four sets of clothes and a few taels of silver.

The four of them changed their clothes, and Zhu was dressed as a maid, and bowed to Yang Huayingying: "The slave has seen Miss." ”

Yang Hua's light pink Luo gauze long skirt mopped the floor, covered with a jacket of the same color, and wore a beaded flower on her hair.

Wei Liao on the side covered his stomach and laughed, Yang Hua glanced at him resentfully, lowered his voice and said, "Don't you like the slave family?" ”

Wei Liao honestly held the spear in his arms and muttered: "Niang Xiu wants to listen to the thief's nonsense, I only need you enough." ”

Duan Qingyan and Wei Liao were wearing men's clothes and driving a carriage, with bamboo and poplar flowers sitting in the car, walking half a mile, with a gentle slope in front of them, Qingyan suddenly grabbed the reins, and said with a solemn face: "There is an ambush." ”

As soon as the words fell, countless soldiers stood up on the gentle slope ahead, and a big flag was erected, and there was a big blue character on the flag!

Even though the four of them were used to seeing the wind and rain, and they were at a loss for a while, Duan Qingyan was the first to come back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, you must bite Miss to death and go back to her parents' house to save your relatives, and accidentally get lost." ”

Before the words fell, the soldiers of Northern Chu had already rushed over, and the layers of spears stood like a forest, surrounding the four people densely, but none of them stepped forward, only urging them to drive forward.

After walking for a long time, I saw a large battalion in the distance, the battalion flags were flying, the guard was tight, and the sound of training armor inside was deafening.

As we got closer, we found that the camp was far more guarded than I had imagined, and a three-foot trench had been dug around the camp, and there were several lookouts above the camp, and there was an arrow stack at a distance of one zhang on all sides.

When he saw the battalion flag, Zhu suddenly had cold hands and feet, but his heart was about to jump out of his chest, in addition to several flags with blue characters written on them, there was also a bright yellow flag waving in the wind, which read: Emperor!

Is that him? How could he be here? Did he know she wasn't dead?

Thinking of these soldiers escorting the four of them without the slightest disrespect, Zhu Xin faintly confirmed this possibility, and then thought, did he still have hope for her when he took such great pains to trap himself?

Bamboo was happy for a while, worried for a while, his heart was like numbness, and he didn't know what to do, even on the grassland, when facing the wolves, he was not so nervous.

He also talked and laughed freely to the murderous King Khan, and he hadn't seen him yet, just thinking that he was so close, and his heart didn't know what to do.

She slowly closed her eyes and said in her heart, is it the will of heaven? Providence reunites them. At this moment, Zhu really wants to forget everything, forget the sisters at home, forget the bedridden father, and really hope that she is just an orphan girl.

But she couldn't.

Two tears slowly slid down the bamboo eyes, never so helpless. Yang Hua silently stared at her side face, and silently stretched out her hand to wrap her hand tightly, her hand was so cold, it was directly cold to her heart.
