The fifteen guards in charge of Xiyu finally rushed over and stood in a large row in unison. The patrol manager replied: "Leaders, this is the guard who is responsible for patrolling Xiyu's residence tonight, and they have all been assembled. And I have also stepped up my patrols, and there are no suspicious people entering or leaving. ”

"Okay, where are the two suspicious guards in charge of Xiyu's patrol you just said, call me out!" King Jerod commanded.

"Back to King Yelu, I have already interrogated them, and all of them have been confirmed that they have not left their posts without permission." Patrol Supervisor Return.

"And what about the suspicious two you said?" Before King Yelu could speak, Ming Cheng walked to the front and said sharply.

King Jerod was very displeased, his face was gloomy, and he tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, and asked, "What about the two?" ”

The patrol manager raised his head slightly and peeked at Ming Cheng, and was so frightened by Ming Cheng's sharp gaze that he hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Those two may have been misunderstood, the light was dim at the time, and I didn't see clearly, and there was no one on patrol in Xiyu who left without permission." ”

"What? So many of us have been waiting for you here for half an hour, just waiting for your 'misread'? Who gave you so much audacity to tease us? Ming Cheng waved his sleeves violently, furious.

The patrol chief was so frightened by the word "teasing" that he lost half of his soul, and immediately fell to his knees on the ground, and even said: "The little one will never dare."

King Yelu's face was a little unbearable, he frowned, and said impatiently to the patrol chief: "Who made you kneel?!" Get up and talk back, what the hell is going on, and explain things clearly. ”

The patrol chief stood up tremblingly, and said word by word: "The light was too dim at that time, and the two stood sideways, their faces were not clear, and their bodies were very tall, only remembering that one was tall and one was short. I've just interrogated our guards, and none of them have left. ”

"So that's what you Tusang do! You brought the suspect over as the head of the guard, and we haven't interrogated you yet, and you've already finished the interrogation privately. What evidence is there that you didn't plan your whereabouts in advance? Who testifies that you are not playing favoritism? "Ming Cheng is aggressive, every word is like a needle, and the needle is to the point.

"You see, we're all tall." The steward replied reluctantly.

"Is it a matter of height? You said that you didn't see it clearly, is your height necessarily right? Ming Cheng said sarcastically, a pair of sword eyebrows raised upward, and pointed at the fifteen people in front of him, "Every guard here is suspicious!" I think the whole tribe is going to search! The hundred-year-old snow lotus is huge, it is impossible to hide it, and lose it! ”

"The two I saw at the time didn't have any flowers in their hands." The manager muttered in response.

"Hehe, there are two suspicious people you said! Now you say it has nothing to do with the suspicious person! Are you trying to cover up? Ming Cheng retorted.

The manager was already blushing at the moment, and he didn't know where to start. Yun Chuan looked at the arrogant Ming Cheng in front of him, and seemed to be a little unrecognizable, and he was completely different from the two in his memory. And this manager is really a straw bag, when he encounters such a big event, it is too late for him to put aside the relationship, and he takes the initiative to dig a pit for himself and jump in, and he jumps deeper and deeper.

"Princess Mingcheng!" King Yelu tried his best to control the resentment in his heart, and said in a soothing tone, "Everyone in the desert knows that only you and Shangdu Khan know the use of this snow lotus, and no one wants this snow lotus!" ”

"No matter what, the hundred-year-old snow lotus is indeed lost here." Mingcheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Khan of Wittun, Uncle Yelu, you are my respected elders. Although our Huangbei's hundred-year-old snow lotus is not a world-shattering treasure, it is of great significance to our clan. Whatever the reason, whether it's curiosity or greed, if the original item can be returned as soon as possible, we can not pursue it. Seeing everyone's reaction, Prince Bayin walked up to the Khan of Wittun and saluted him steadily.

"My brother is right, no matter what, the loss of my clan's hundred-year-old snow lotus is a fact, and it was checked when I entered the Yue clan tribe at that time. I hope that all the elders will give us an explanation. Princess Nata stood side by side with her brother and saluted.

Yun Chuan looked at the three people in front of him, Ming Cheng was domineering in his strangulation, Bayin was decent, and Nata was strong and fearless. Fortunately, the two of them did not agree with Ming Cheng, and if the three of them joined forces, Huang Bei would be difficult to deal with in the future.

Just when the atmosphere was scorching, the whispered discussions of several guards behind Ming Cheng caught her attention, and Ming Cheng said angrily: "What are you talking about? ”

"I, we've seen a guard who wasn't too tall and came to bring us food." The guard replied.

"Tell me, do you still recognize it?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ming Cheng's face, and he immediately called this person to the public and urged.

This person was the guard who was waiting in front of Mingcheng's yurt at that time, and he should remember Yun Chuan's appearance pretending to be a guard very clearly. Thinking of this, Yun Chuan felt a sigh in his heart, and he also stayed for a while when he restrained Wei Xu, but fortunately, he redressed himself at that time. But if Wei Xu also comes to participate, the situation will be even more troublesome. Yun Chuan leaned sideways to peek at Wei Xu's movements at the moment, only to see him quietly looking at the guard, and did not react much.

Mingcheng's guard stretched out his right hand and gestured, and said, "This person is so tall, and his voice is low and hoarse. ”

"See you now, do you recognize it?" Prince Bayin asked.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Several of us have seen each other, and I will surely recognize such a person when he appears before me again." ”

When King Yelu saw that several of the little guards of Huangbei dared to make a mistake, he was even more angry, and asked rhetorically, "How do you recognize it?" Call all the 100,000 soldiers of my Yue tribe over and identify them for you one by one? Or do you want to take this opportunity to turn over every inch of grass in the Yue Clan? As soon as these words came out, the guards in front and the onlookers all exploded, and they were provoked by Huang Bei in public, and they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts.

"King Yelu, we Huangbei have never caused trouble, but we have never been afraid of things. We traveled for two days to participate in the Marble Conference, and I think we should be equally rewarded for our sincerity! Shangdu Khan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, he walked slowly to King Yelu, opened his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "The hundred-year-old snow lotus has gone through 200 years, intact, and rare in the world. Since it came into my hands, I have regarded it as a sacred relic of the entire Huangbei clan, and I have never used it even in the moment of life and death. But today I came with the Huangbei holy relics, from the inexplicable fire to the loss of the holy relics, should you give an explanation to the entire Huangbei tribe. ”

Shangdu Khan galloped on the grassland in the past, and also left a lot of heroic stories, but in recent years, Huang Bei has been a vassal to the Shu Dynasty, and is often criticized by other tribes in the desert. Although he is over the age of sixteen and his face has changed dramatically, the majesty of his words is still there, and the soldiers who exploded the pot on the side stopped saying nothing and waited for the flash flood.

Yun Chuan looked around, his father and brother Huo Ming were whispering, and Hada Khan was holding his arms to his chest with a loose expression. And at this moment, Wei Xu still looks like he has nothing to do with himself. Yun Chuan thought to himself, the people of the grassland knew that if this hundred-year-old snow lotus was separated from the treasure box, it would be unusable in a few days. Could it be that someone just wants to ruin Snow Lotus and provoke the contradiction between Huang Bei and Tusang? Looking at King Yelu's disgusted expression, Yun Chuan pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Uncle, you can't mess around." Leave this to me. ”

King Yelu hurriedly shook his head and didn't want her to get involved, but before he could stop it, Yun Chuan swaggered up to Shangdu Khan.

Yun Chuan smiled slightly, and said after saluting generously: "Shangdu Khan, I have also heard the legend of the hundred-year-old snow lotus since I was a child, this is not only a holy relic of Huangbei, but also a symbol of the courage of our grassland people. A person who covets and steals a hundred-year-old snow lotus is a god who has violated our grassland, and the immortal heaven will not forgive him. After Yun Chuan finished speaking, his eyes quickly swept over Huang Bei and the others, Ming Cheng's expression was still arrogant, and a trace of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but Shang Du Khan's expression suddenly became dark, and a trace of cold light shot through his eyes.

Yun Chuan walked up to King Yelu and said calmly: "Uncle King Yelu, today's incident is obviously that someone wants to provoke the relationship between you and Huang Bei, and we can't fall into the trap of others!" On the way here just now, I heard the guards mention that the Yue Clan's guards are only responsible for tribal patrols, and the safety of the personnel and belongings of the four major ethnic groups are guarded by their own personal guards. If we want to investigate thoroughly, we should go from near to far, from small to large, and we should not let go of any of them. However, it is getting late today, and we will have to greet all parties tomorrow, so I suggest that Huang Bei and Yue's each send two supervisors to handle the matter together, and the others can go back to the yurt to rest and wait for the results. ”

After Yun Chuan finished speaking, the eldest grandson clapped his hands and applauded: "Princess Yun Chuan is really smart, what she said is extremely true!" We should start from near and far, starting here. What about the guards who guarded the place at the time? How many people are there? ”

Shangdu Khan looked at Ming Cheng with a gloomy face, and Ming Cheng sneered: "What? Do you want to push the responsibility away in three sentences? ”

"Princess Mingcheng, how can this be blame-shifting? If you want to check, of course, you have to have a rule. If you don't agree, it's okay to go from far and near, but I'm afraid of delaying the time of the century-old snow lotus. Yun Chuan explained.

"I thought the Marble Conference was heavily guarded, so we didn't arrange guards to take care of it." Ming Cheng said calmly.

Eldest Sun Ying shook his palm and shook his head and said, "Our other three clans have all sent heavy troops to guard their respective heirlooms, how can you be so careless?" ”

"Prince Eldest Sun, do you mean that we Huangbei guards our own thieves, and thieves shout to catch thieves?" Ming Cheng asked sharply.

"I didn't say that the thief shouted to catch the thief, as for the 'prison guard stealing', I don't rule out this possibility." The eldest grandson replied.

"You!" Ming Cheng was about to fight back, but was interrupted by Princess Nata first: "Father, I think what Princess Yunchuan and Prince Eldest Sun said makes sense. I was strongly opposed to this arrangement at the time, and I really need to find out if anyone has a deliberate plan! ”

"Nata!" Shangdu Khan scolded in a low voice, and then asked King Yelu: "This is the Yue Clan, King Yelu, how do you say to check?" ”

King Yelu patted Yunchuan's hand, stretched his brows, nodded to Shangdu Khan and said, "Shangdu Khan, we are both old, and we have been standing for most of the hour, and if we continue to toss like this, our bodies will not be able to bear it." Leave this matter to the young people. Witton Khan, do you think you can let Huo Ming and the dog Bai Yan come to the trial together? ”

Witton Khan nodded and said, "I also have this intention, those who deliberately sow discord between the various races of our desert, we must not be soft!" ”

Bai Cheng is the youngest son of King Yelu, hereditary throne, known as Bai Cheng Belle, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, well-behaved and sensible. King Yelu has three daughters and one son, and the three daughters have all been married to the magnates of various ethnic groups, leaving the youngest son, who has just turned 16 this year, to accompany him.

Huo Ming led Bai Cheng to the front, clenched his hands into fists and said, "We will live up to expectations." Huo Ming continued: "In addition, I also ask King Yelu and the monk Du Khan for an order, okay?" If the insider reports, I can pay a bounty of 100 taels; If the insider deliberately conceals it, it will be dealt with in the same way as the offender. ”

King Yelu laughed and nodded, "Okay." Shangdu Khan, who is going to try it together? ”

"Father, I am willing to hear this matter on behalf of Huang Bei, and I will definitely find out about this matter." Prince Bayin calmly walked out, clenched his hands into fists and said.

Yun Chuan looked at Prince Bayin and Bai Cheng and praised them unconsciously, they were both 16 years old, they were both generous, calm and calm, and they all made people feel good.

"How old are you, we Huang Bei haven't gotten our children into battle yet." Shangdu Khan did not appreciate his son's volunteering, turned his head and said, "Mingcheng, you can take someone to investigate this matter, be sure to find out." ”

"Bai Ling Belle and his brother are the same age, he can be tried, why can't my brother? I don't agree with the princess to try this matter alone! Nata stood up and tried her best to defend her brother, but Prince Bayin grabbed her sister's sleeve and signaled her not to say more, but Nata waved her hand and didn't care, looking at her father with an angry face.

At this moment, Ming Cheng was quite knowledgeable, his eyes became extremely gentle, and he said with a smile: "Bayin still has a lot of opportunities to experience in the future, tomorrow you will assist the Khan to entertain guests from all sides, and you will rest early tonight." Khan, let General Wei Xu join me in the trial. ”

Shangdu Khan looked at Ming Cheng with gentle eyes, stroked her hand, nodded and said, "Okay, just do it according to Ming Cheng's wishes, and work hard for everyone." ”

When Shangdu Khan was about to leave, Huo Ming stood in the way: "Shangdu Khan is slow, I just discussed with Bai Cheng Beile, to find out this matter, we must search every corner. In view of the fact that the hundred-year-old snow lotus was lost here, let's start with Huang Bei's residence. I don't know if it's possible? ”

Ming Cheng nodded to Shangdu Khan, and Shangdu Khan replied: "Please, I hope I can see the hundred-year-old snow lotus at dawn tomorrow." ”
