Yun Chuan looked ahead, there was a firelight moving, presumably the leaders of the four major clans were coming this way.

Yun Chuan frowned, and hurriedly said: "General, thanks to your care here, the fire can be controlled, you are really our great savior, I hurried over to help!" After saying that, Yun Chuan got into the busy firefighting crowd. Wei Xu looked at this sloppy soldier and was quite disdainful: "Tusang's soldiers are also thieves!" ”

Yun Chuan immediately rushed to a remote place, and was worried about how to find Yang Qingxuan, when he was suddenly pulled by someone, and he turned around in fright, but fortunately it was Yang Qingxuan.

Yang Qingyun saw Yun Chuan's dirty face like a little cat, and the clothes on his body were also black and gray, and asked puzzledly, "Did you fight with someone?" ”

"No, no, just in order to drag Wei Xu, I disguised it indiscriminately, don't you even see who I am?" Yun Chuan wiped his face with his sleeve and hurriedly explained.

"I really wasn't bullied." Yang Qingyun looked at Yun Chuan's makeup, and couldn't imagine how she dragged that tall Wei Xu.

"Well, how so? It's good that I don't bully others! What do you think? Did you get it? I'm worried about you, too! Hearing that Yang Qingyun was worried about himself, Yun Chuan pursed his lips and snickered.

Yang Qingyun pointed to the small box on his chest and whispered, "Thanks to you for dragging Wei Xu, you have already got it." ”

"It's really going well, let's go quickly, we can return to Xia Yi tomorrow." Yun Chuan pulled Yang Qingyun to stand up, turned around and prepared to evacuate.

"Stop. Where are you two on an errand, what are you doing sneakily? Suddenly, there was a roar, and a bright light slowly projected on.

"We are the guards responsible for the reception of Xiyu's guests." Yun Chuan leaned sideways slightly, lowered his head and said hurriedly.

"Xiyu guests live in the northwest corner, what are you doing here?" It turned out to be a patrolling guard, and he was not relenting.

"Come out and see the excitement, let's go back." After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he pulled Yang Qingyun and prepared to run to the northwest corner.

"You guys stop, it's reasonable to run out and wander around, and there is still me in charge of the guard in your eyes!" The guard, who called himself the Patrol Chief, roared.

At this moment, a guard ran over panting and hurriedly said, "Oh no, Huangbei's hundred-year-old snow lotus has been stolen, and King Yelu is looking for you to pass on the news." ”

"What was stolen? Huang Bei's heirloom century-old snow lotus? The patrol chief asked in surprise.

"Yes, just after the fire was extinguished, General Wei Xu walked into the yurt and said that the hundred-year-old snow lotus was gone. The four chieftains are furious, and King Yelu has sent troops to block all the exits of the tribe, so you should quickly gather the guards who patrolled tonight to investigate. The guard hurriedly replied.

"Then what are you waiting for, you go and inform the guards on patrol to gather at Huang Bei's residence." The patrol chief's face was pale, beads of sweat were already flowing from his forehead, and he suddenly remembered the two people standing in the corner. But I don't know when, Yun Chuan and Yang Qingyun have already taken the opportunity to escape, and the corner is empty.

"What about the two guys standing here just now?" The patrol chief asked, pointing to the corner.

"Looks like I'm running there." The guard pointed to the northwest and said tremblingly.

"Idiot! Hurry up and send someone to chase me back, these two are sneaky! Catch it and interrogate it well! The chief of the patrol scolded sharply, and he hurried to return the life of King Yelu.

Yun Chuan and the others, taking advantage of the inattention of the patrol manager and a few guards, hurriedly ran away. Not long after running to the northwest, they heard someone chasing after them, and the two of them quickly ran into a yurt where no one was there and hid.

There was a faint candlelight in the yurt, but it was empty. Look around at the yurt layout, mink tiger skin, fine bow and broadsword, and a general's helmet made of gold and engraved with a wolf's head.

"It turned out to be my uncle's yurt, and it seems that it should be Tusang's residence nearby." Yun Chuan said. Yun Chuan slowly moved to the door curtain, lifted a small corner and looked: "They are still outside, we will go out when they are gone, it would be better if we could find my brother's residence." ”

"Your brother? So who are you? Yang Qingyun sat on the ground by the curtain and asked softly.

"You only now remember to ask me for my identity? So who did you think I used to be? Under the faint candlelight, Yun Chuan's bright big eyes flashed with smart light, "Don't you care who I am?" You just need me to show you the way, because you have long planned to bring Snow Lotus back even if it is killing and plundering. Right? ”

Like a pair of clear water's eyes staring at Yang Qingyun, his eyes were clear and clear, revealing a warm firelight, Yang Qingyun felt that this look seemed to be able to understand himself, lowered his head to avoid Yun Chuan's eyes, and said: "It's not that I don't care, I just don't want to involve too much." ”

A simple sentence made Yun Chuan's heart warm, she looked at Yang Qingyun warmly, and said softly: "Actually, I don't have to hide it from you, it's just that you and your brother never ask, I am Ashina Yunchuan, the eldest princess of the Tusan clan." And I don't care who you are, because ... Well, but at this moment you have to tell me your true identity, you just heard it, all the exits are guarded at the moment, we don't need to force it to make a big deal out of it, just restore our identity and walk out with dignity, because my identity will definitely help you. ”

Yang Qingyun was a little surprised, although she had guessed that her identity was not ordinary, but she didn't expect to be so prominent as the title of the eldest princess of Tusang, the largest ethnic group in the grassland, but thinking about the experience of the past few days and her courage, it is indeed a matter of course.

"I am," Yang Qingyun's mind quickly calculated all the possible consequences of various identities: if he saw Wang Chengyu tomorrow, his identity would not be hidden, and he would appear as an envoy of the Shu Dynasty, and he would be able to add a little fear to others. But Yu Wenhan's identity should not be revealed first. After thinking for a while, Yang Qingyun said: "I am Yang Qingyun, the eldest son of Yang Deshou of Sima Qing of Da Shu, and Wen Han is my relative and friend. ”

What Wenhan, is it so difficult to say Yu Wenhan directly? Is it possible for him to press the second prince of the Shu Dynasty on the grassland to be a proton? Yun Chuan thought to himself that this person was really cautious, but he was also thinking about his brother, and it was righteous.

"Da Sima Qing? Is it the leader in charge of the Xing Ministry? Yun Chuan seems to have heard his father talk about it.

"Well, that's understandable." Yang Qingyun replied.

"Okay, I know, you will listen to me in a while, and you will be able to go out openly." Yun Chuan began to take off his coat of disguised guards, and said, "You also quickly take off the guard's clothes, it seems that sometimes it is not good not to fight for your father." ”

Yang Qingyun comprehended, took off his clothes and handed them to Yun Chuan. Yun Chuan found a suitcase, stuffed the two sets of clothes to the bottom, touched a flat stone with his fingers, and took it out curiously to take a look, this is a dragon belt buckle made of jade, the flying dragon contains beads, vivid, but only half. Yun Chuan felt that this thing was very familiar, and the queen mother also had a piece, which was carved very similarly, and he had seen the queen mother holding a jade buckle alone and stroking it carefully.

How can my uncle have this thing? The queen mother of Yunchuan and her father and wife are in love, which can be said to be transmitted by everyone in the grassland, and among the khans of the grassland, only his father does not have any concubines. Yun Chuan laughed at himself for thinking too much: "This kind of jade buckle is also very common among grassland soldiers, and I am really thinking nonsense." ”

"By the way, put your little box here first." Yun Chuan still felt that it was inappropriate, in case the foreign envoy was to be searched, it would be in vain, and proposed, "I just heard that they have found out that the hundred-year-old snow lotus has been stolen, and it is not safe for us to put it on our bodies. My uncle has always been a loner, and never let the guards follow, and I will take it out again tomorrow morning. You tell me? ”

"Is your uncle Helian Qiji, who has been a proton in Da Shu for 20 years?" Yang Qingyun asked in a low voice.

"yes, you used to know each other?" Yun Chuan thought that his uncle had lived in the Shu Dynasty for 20 years, and it was natural for him to know a few people in the court of the Shu Dynasty.

"Well, there have been several encounters." Yang Qingyun replied lightly, "I just saw that there are more snow lotus petals in a hundred years, and I only took three petals, which will be difficult to find." Do they have to count the number of petals every day? ”

"You open the little box, I'll take a look." Yun Chuan said in surprise.

Yang Qingyun cautiously opened the small box, and looked at it through the faint light. Listening to Yun Xi say that the petals of the hundred-year-old snow lotus are crystal clear, as thin as cicada wings, and the red veins are clearly visible. But these three petals seem to have neither red veins nor cicada wings, but the snow lotus has never been seen with his own eyes in the past hundred years, and he is not sure in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Yang Qingyun asked.

Yun Chuan frowned and said, "No, I just think that this petal is not the same as Yun Xi's description, maybe the light is too dim and I can't see it clearly." Let's put it here first, it will be fine if you put it here. ”

Yang Qingyun held the small box in his hand, frowned, and opened the curtain to look out.

"You don't want to kill now, do you! Almost all the generals on the steppe are here today, and it won't be easy if you get caught. Yun Chuan explained: "Don't worry, my uncle loves me very much, and it is very convenient for me to enter and exit here." ”

"Hmm." Yang Qingyun handed the small box to Yun Chuan, who carefully put it in the box, and when he closed the box, he glanced at the jade buckle again, and immediately returned to its original state and covered the box.

————————————————————————

When there was no movement outside, Yun Chuan washed his face with the water from the kettle in the yurt, and a refreshed girl returned to the front.

The two walked out of the yurt, Yun Chuan straightened his clothes, two braids hung down on both sides of his shoulders, a few strands of hair brushed his face, and said to Yang Qingyun: "I'll take you to find our big backer!" With that, he stopped a patrolling soldier and asked, "Do you see Witton Khan?" ”

"Who are you? What are you looking for our Khan? The soldier looked Yun Chuan up and down.

"Princess Yunchuan! Met the princess. This kid is new, don't take it to heart. Another soldier looked at the torch not far away, immediately bent down and saluted, and pulled the soldier who was still stunned on the side.

"No need to be polite." Yun Chuan held his head high, and the princess was imposing, "What about my father?" ”

"At Huang Bei's residence, I heard that Huang Bei's residence was on fire, and the century-old snow lotus was also stolen. We're all there, King Yelu, King Wai, and King Zuoxian. The soldier said.

"Is it over there?" Yun Chuan pointed to the southeast, where torches gathered and people were crowded.

"Exactly, the Huangbei clan lives over there." The soldier said.

"I said why it's so lively over there. Show me the way, and we'll see! Yun Chuan glanced at the soldier, and the soldier immediately led Yun Chuan and Yang Qingyun to Huang Bei's residence.

Along the way, Yun Chuan made up his whereabouts without a match.

"You can't patrol this way, I came in with my friend at night, and we wandered around the tribe for half an hour, and no one noticed us." Yun Chuan said slightly accusatory.

"Yes, yes, we've just sent more people." The soldier bowed his head and said.

"What is there to steal from a hundred-year-old snow lotus? Have you found out if it was stolen? You can't let Huang Bei wronged us like this! Yun Chuan asked tentatively.

"It's been stolen, the whole snow lotus is gone, and the box containing the snow lotus is empty!" The soldier replied.

"Whole plant!?" Yun Chuan looked at Yang Qingyun in surprise, and Yang Qingyun also shook his head with a look of surprise.

When several people came to Huang Bei's residence, the yurt that was on fire had already burned more than half, and the choking smell of burning filled the air. I saw a large group of people gathered in front of Wei Xu's yurt, Yun Chuan and Yang Qingyun were standing on the periphery, and they vaguely heard Mingcheng's voice coming from the crowd.

"You wait here for me, I'll go in and see." Yun Chuan instructed Yang Qingyun, "Don't go away." ”

Yang Qingyun nodded and said softly: "You, protect yourself." ”

Hearing Yang Qingyun's advice, Yun Chuan smiled like a flower, and responded loudly: "Well, don't worry." ”

Yun Chuan pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front row, only to see Ming Cheng standing in the middle, and on the left were Shang Du Khan, General Wei Xu, Prince Huang Beibayin, and Princess Nata; A seat in Xiyu and so on. On the right are King Yelu of the Yue Clan, his father Weidun Khan, his brother Huo Ming Zuoxian Wang, his uncle Helian Qi and the general, and Yun Xi's uncle who wears half of the mask and is now serving as the national teacher of Tusang and has changed his name to Renyan; Xiayi Hada Khan, a seat, etc.

Ming Cheng was dressed in a red robe, the skirt hung wide on the ground, a huge ruby flashed on the cockade, and a golden hairpin crossed the brim, and the bead curtains hanging from both ends of the golden hairpin followed Ming Cheng and swayed, shining with dazzling light. Yun Chuan thought to himself: "If we hadn't grown up together, she wouldn't have recognized such a radiant, gorgeous and luxurious woman at this moment as the gentle and considerate and graceful sister Mingcheng in the past." ”

At this moment, Ming Cheng's eyes were like swords, sweeping over the people in front of him, and then staring at the patrol chief who was standing in front of him with his waist in front of him to report. In the face of Ming Cheng's awe-inspiring gaze, the patrol commander's voice couldn't help but be a little weak, intermittent, and difficult to parry.

"I'm just asking you to repeat what you just said, and you're so frightened that you don't say what you said! Why are you so weak-hearted? Mingcheng asked contemptuously.

"I really don't know, our patrol is here. I spent the whole night on guard near the banquet square, and knew very little about the Huangbei dwellings. After the fire in this yurt room, the soldiers in charge of Huangbei's patrol went to put out the fire and did not find anything abnormal. The patrol chief hurriedly explained.

"Didn't you just say that two guards in charge of Xiyu's patrol left their posts without permission and ran around, so where are these two now?" Ming Cheng scolded.

"Someone has been sent to arrest him." The manager replied with his head down.

"Go, call me all the guards who are in charge of patrolling Xiyu's residence tonight." King Yelu suddenly spoke, looked at Mingcheng monk Du Khan and said, "I think this fire tonight is the work of thieves. Now that all the exits have been sealed, the thieves can't fly at all. ”

Ming Cheng raised his eyebrows, looked at King Yelu, and then looked at the onlookers, and after shooting around, Ming Cheng waved his sleeves, raised his voice and said: "Our Huangbei's hundred-year-old snow lotus will wither three days after leaving the treasure box, I don't care who stole it, it's best to hand it over obediently before dawn tomorrow, otherwise it will be the enemy of our entire Huangbei clan." ”

Ming Cheng immediately looked at King Yelu and said sentence by sentence: "King Yelu, everyone knows that among the heirloom treasures of the four major clans, only our hundred-year-old snow lotus is the most valuable. Today's arson is clearly aimed at the hundred-year-old snow lotus, no matter who steals it in the end, it means that it is the Yue clan's guards who are not good at guarding, I hope you can give my people an explanation. ”

The leader of the Yue clan, King Yelu, is nearly half a hundred years old, and three generations are loyal to the Tusang Khan, the throne is hereditary, the status is noble, and the successive Yelu kings are good at fighting on the battlefield, and their military achievements are impressive, not only in Tusang, but even in the entire grassland, they are very prestigious. This Princess Huangbei, who has just ascended the throne for less than a year, is nothing more than a yellow-haired girl in her 20s in King Yelu's heart, but she dares to provoke and ask for an explanation in public!

King Jerod was already angry, and his beard was trembling slightly. But Huang Bei's Shangdu Khan is the same as his own qualifications, and he has to give some thin noodles. King Yelu glanced at Ming Cheng contemptuously, turned sideways to look at Shangdu Khan, who was frowning on the side, and said, "If you catch a thief, no matter who it is, you will hand it over to Shangdu Khan." ”

King Yelu's move was clearly to look down on Ming Cheng, Prince Bayin and Princess Nata, who were standing on the side, snickered, but Ming Cheng didn't think so, but looked at King Yelu with a gentle face and said, "I thanked King Yelu for the Khan." ”

King Yelu sneered: "Why, such a big matter, Shangdu Khan didn't say a word?" ”

"What the princess means is what I mean." Shangdu Khan, who had been silent, replied coldly to King Yelu. Although he is only four feet tall, he is brave and good at fighting, and is known as the "leopard of the grassland", and his prestige is also quite high. Although his face is now full of frost and his temples are white, his eyes when he looks at Ming Cheng are full of tenderness.

After saying this, King Yelu sulked, but he didn't expect that the prince Bayin and Princess Nata of Huangbei sang the opposite tune, and said to Shangdu Khan: "Father, everyone has been waiting here for almost half an hour, I suggest that the princess wait, let the leaders go back to rest, search everywhere, and judge when there are results." ”

Prince Bayin and Princess Nata, the two second generations of the grassland kingship, Yunchuan has never been masked, but he has heard of it for a long time. Shang Du Khan only had a son and a daughter in the year of his destiny, and now he is fifteen or sixteen years old. I heard that Prince Bayin has practiced archery and strategy since he was a child, and he has achieved quite a lot; Princess Nata is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is very talented. It's a pity that the mother passed away five years ago, and she is quite resistant to the princess in front of her.

"We, Huang Bei, are also very helpful for this marble conference, and I believe that you will be willing to wait for a result." Shangdu Khan's face was expressionless, and although his voice was hoarse, he still did not lose the demeanor of a general.

"After all, it's not that the princess doesn't send people to take care of it." I didn't expect Princess Nata to fight in the nest at this time.

"Shut up." Shangdu Khan shouted to the little princess beside him, and Nata looked aggrieved and was about to leave sideways, when she was pulled by Bayin.

King Yelu glanced contemptuously at the old man, looked at the guests of the other clans, and said, "Then everyone will give me this thin noodles, and wait, so as not to be suspicious of others." ”

"Our four clans were one family a hundred years ago, originating from the Tianshan Mountains and galloping in the desert. For more than 20 years, our four clans have finally come together, this is a thing worth celebrating, if someone deliberately destroys, I will be the first to spare him! "A strong and powerful voice gathered all eyes as soon as it came out, and this person was the steppe wolf Witton Khan. Majestic and awe-inspiring, with a strong body, he ruled Tusang for 20 years, and developed Tusang into the largest group in the grassland, accounting for one-third of the four major ethnic groups in area and number, and was the most feared wolf of the steppe in Dahuan.
