Chapter 25 True and False Snow Lotus

Yun Chuan followed Witton Khan and his party back to Tusang's residence, and Wittun Khan and Helian abandoned and asked, "Helian, what do you think of tonight's events?" ”

Helian Qihe is the younger brother of Witton Khan, the two are similar in appearance and only five years apart, but they have a cold expression and few words. Twenty-five years ago, Tusang raised an army to attack the Shu Dynasty and failed, and Helian, who was only 18 years old, abandoned and was forced to be sent to Shudang for 20 years. Five years earlier, the Khan of Witton had regained Helen and put him to good use to take charge of Tussan's most elite cavalry army.

"It's strange that they are not in a hurry to find the hundred-year-old snow lotus, they are just bluffing." Helian Qiji replied in a low voice, "The Snow Lotus will not be able to return to the sky, and we have waited for half an hour to undoubtedly delay time. ”

"Well, maybe there is nothing missing about the hundred-year-old snow lotus, and then whether the hundred-year-old snow lotus here is real or fake, how will we know." King Yelu said, "What kind of food delivery guards, it's completely nothing to do." ”

"It's a huge possibility." Witton nodded and said, "Just now I also instructed Huo Ming to follow Huang Bei's people to make a show." ”

"Ah, that means they might be bringing a fake hundred-year-old snow lotus today?" Yun Chuan secretly felt that something was wrong, if the real hundred-year-old snow lotus was not here, then the three-petal snow lotus they had worked so hard to steal would be useless.

"Hehe, so they're not particularly annoyed, and they're not particularly anxious." King Yelu looked around, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "I heard that Shangdu Khan was sick in the early spring of last year, and you can see that he is now ruddy and full of energy. ”

"Uncle, you have something to say." Yun Chuan's eyes widened in surprise, this made her never expect, you must know that the hundred-year-old snow lotus is a holy relic of Huangbei, which has been passed down for four generations, and has never lost a penny, "It's not that his life on the battlefield back then was hanging by a thread and he didn't damage a petal of snow lotus, and I heard that five years ago, Queen Huangbei's life was on the verge of death, Nata knelt for three days and three nights, and didn't ask for a petal of snow lotus, Shangdu Khan shouldn't be able to." ”

"We don't know! In the final analysis, this is all Huang Bei's housework, whether this century-old snow lotus is more or less, and what does it have to do with us? But if Huang Bei wants to count this matter on us, he will underestimate us. King Yelu smiled, looked at Yun Chuan and said, "It's still Yun Chuan who is shrewd, and just a few words disrupted their square inches." ”

"King Jerod, you can't be arrogant with her anymore. If she hadn't been clever just now, we would have been able to know the true purpose of Huang Bei's acting in this play at this moment. After Witton Khan finished speaking, he gently knocked on Yun Chuan's head with his hand.

Yunchuan suddenly realized, it turned out that everyone was waiting to watch a good show, only he was an uninformed person, who played cards according to the rules, disrupted everyone's rhythm, stirred everyone's interest, and let a good show end hastily. Yun Chuan pouted unwillingly and said, "Then, then you won't give me a look, so I will be in a hurry." ”

"You, you're still too impatient, don't look at Bai Cheng is younger than you, but he can calm down. The hundred-year-old snow lotus is important, but we don't need so many leaders to wait. There is also Hada Khan of Xiayi, who has an arrogant personality and has always been at odds with Shangdu, why doesn't he leave? Witton spoke responsibly, but his eyes were full of pampering and helplessness.

Yun Chuan sighed, thought about it, and muttered in a low voice, "How can my little sheep be the opponent of the wolf?" ”

"Haha, if you were a little sheep, then all the wolves in this steppe would starve to death. You can see that it is not simple to have civil strife in Huangbei. King Yelu looked at Yun Chuan lovingly and smiled.

Yun Chuan smiled bitterly, put his arm around King Yelu and said coquettishly: "Uncle, where does the envoy of the Shu Dynasty live?" ”

Before King Jerod could speak, Witton stopped, "Hurry up and greet your queen mother and aunt!" ”

"Got it." Yun Chuan pouted and nodded helplessly.

——————————————————————

"Mother, good aunt!" Before the maid could make a report, Yun Chuan lifted the curtain and walked into Princess Yelu's yurt, shouting with joy. Seeing Yun Chuan suddenly appear in front of him, Queen Tusang Qiqige and Princess Yelu Qimuge were obviously a little surprised, Queen Qiqige's eyes were still full of tears, and she was busy stuffing a white object in her hand into her waist, turning her back to wipe the corners of her eyes. Princess Yelu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, pulled Yun Chuan in front of her, looked at her with care, and said happily: "My heart, I didn't invite you here in these eight sedan chairs, why did you come here at night?" ”

This Princess Yelu and Queen Tusang are sisters, more than ten years apart, both of them are famous beauties on the grassland, especially Queen Saihan. Its character, the appearance of flowers and the moon, the country and the city, is known as "the first beauty of the grassland". Although he is nearly middle-aged, he seems to have been favored by God, not only does his face have no traces of time, but his temperament is becoming more and more outstanding, and the melancholy look that sometimes appears between his eyebrows makes him look dusty and lovely between a smile and a smile.

"I miss you!" Yun Chuan squatted beside Queen Qige and asked with concern, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Queen Qiqige wiped the corners of her eyes, waved her hand, and said in a slightly choked voice: "I'm fine, it's okay." Seeing this, Princess Yelu helped Yun Chuan up, pulled her to sit down beside her, held Yun Chuan's hands, and said lovingly: "Your queen mother, don't look at the mothers of three children, she is still like a child, so she loves to shed tears." No, just now our sisters remembered the incident with their father and mother when they were children, and your mother's tears couldn't stop falling. ”

"I said, who is Wanli with? Sister Wanli is too, and she is also kind and sentimental. Last time I hunted, I finally caught a few rabbits and a deer, Wanli cried and didn't let everyone eat, all of them were adopted by her, I haven't eaten rabbit meat and venison for more than half a year. Yun Chuan stretched out his head to look at Queen Qiqige, and said with a smile: "I still like the way the queen mother laughs, as long as the queen mother smiles, the snow of the snow dragon mountain for thousands of years will be melted." ”

"Or our Yunchuan can speak, look at your mother so much, your face is red!" Princess Yelu said with a big smile.

"Sister, you still tease me with the children!" Queen Qiqige's cheeks were as delicate as a blooming peony flower.

"Mother, this is the first thing my father said." Yun Chuan stood up, walked to the queen mother, crossed his fingers and said: "Father said, the queen mother laughs like the sun in the sky, when she doesn't smile, she is like the moon in Tianchi Bay, she is like a white snow lotus when she sits, and she is like a kapok in the wind when she stands." Anyway, no matter what time it is, the queen mother is the most beautiful, and she is always so tired of watching and exciting. ”

"Yo yo yo, sister, being held in the palm of your hand by the Khan like this, what else do you have to worry about." Princess Yelu quipped.

"You listen to Yun Chuan's nonsense, what's the matter!" Queen Qiqige glared at Yun Chuan, pursed her lips and smiled.

"I think Yunchuan is right, although my brother-in-law is the leader of Tusang and is powerful, but in front of you, he is completely obedient and has no arrogance at all. Yun Chuan, am I right? Princess Yelu said.

"Hey, I know this best, and only my mother can make my father bend down with his eyebrows bowed in the world. That's why I said, the most powerful person on this grassland is not my father, but my mother! Auntie, you said that if I inherited even one-tenth of my mother's beauty, I would definitely be invincible, right? Yun Chuan smiled and grinned, which made Princess Yelu laugh, and Queen Qiqige couldn't help laughing on the side, shaking her head and looking at her unserious daughter.

"How beautiful could you be? The pastures of your tribe will be trampled flat by the people who propose marriage. Even I, I get a lot of posts proposing marriage to you every day. Princess Yelu scratched Yunchuan's nose and said.

"Those people, they don't even know what I look like, they just have a fancy to my father's power, who really wants to propose." Yun Chuan said disdainfully.

"And what do you like?" Princess Yelu asked, stuffing a piece of pastry into Yun Chuan's mouth.

Yun Chuan ate the pastry, tilted his head, and said thoughtfully: "Then you must be brave and resourceful, upright, and you must be the same as my father and queen mother, everything depends on me and spoils me." ”

"It's good to cling to you and spoil you? If you don't know what you think, and don't ask what you think, it's hard for someone to resist your eldest lady's temper. Queen Qiqige stroked Yunchuan's scattered hair and said gently.

"Queen Mother, you've made it more difficult!" Yun Chuan deliberately pretended to be helpless.

"I don't think it's difficult! This condition is very suitable for the eldest grandson prince of Xiyu, who is dignified and eloquent, and was established as the successor of Xiyu Khan early, and has a good relationship with our Tusang. The most important thing is to be right with you, know the roots, and be able to know what you think. Princess Yelu said.

"He, it is estimated that there is a talent, but this person is too thoughtful, he is hypocritical and contrived to me, so I don't want to marry him!" Yun Chuan immediately vetoed.

"Ahem~ You don't look like a girl, you're never ashamed to talk about these things." Queen Qiqige deliberately interrupted, "You haven't said why you came here?" Isn't it reluctant to come? What about Wanli? ”

"I don't want to talk about these things, aren't they all mentioned by you?" Yun Chuan smiled, also feeling embarrassed, and muttered back, "I ran into a messenger from the Turbulent Dynasty who got lost, so I brought him here." Wan Li is busy taking care of her 'old, young, sick and disabled' zoo, and she is busy at home. ”

"What does it matter to you that the envoy of the Turbulent Dynasty is lost? You're always nosy, don't trouble your Uncle Jerod. Queen Qiqige instructed.

"Yes, I know. By the way, I forgot that the queen mother didn't say trouble, Huang Bei is in trouble this time. Yun Chuan sat next to the queen mother, snuggled up to her shoulder, and said, "The Shangdu Khan of Huangbei put their hundred-year-old snow lotus in General Wei Xu's yurt, and just for some reason the yurt in front of General Wei Xu caught fire, and after the fire was extinguished, the hundred-year-old snow lotus disappeared. ”

Princess Yelu put down the water glass in her hand and said in surprise: "There is such a thing? The biggest use of this hundred-year-old snow lotus is to detoxify strange poisons and prolong life, and the usage is peculiar, very few people know it, the key is to leave that box, and not live for a few days. Who would be so stupid as to steal this? ”

"That box is so magical? Then make more boxes, can't you have more century-old snow lotus? Queen Qiqige asked in surprise.

Princess Yelu shook her head and said: "This box is peculiarly made, I heard that it takes a thousand years of golden silk nanmu, three layers inside and out, and between each layer there is a thousand years of snow mountain ice water, and what are the rare medicinal materials, this secret recipe has long been lost." Besides, it's not an elixir of immortality, so why bother so much? ”

"Auntie, I just heard what my father and uncle meant, they may not have brought the real hundred-year-old snow lotus over, they deliberately tried to adjust the right and wrong." Yun Chuan frowned, is he going to Huangbei tomorrow to find the real hundred-year-old snow lotus?

"They have a sense of what they think. This time, the four major clans got together for the first time in more than 20 years, and they also wanted to take the opportunity of viewing the strange stones to give up their past suspicions and seek common development. The treasures of the four major clans on display were also proposed by Huang Bei, saying that he hoped that everyone would pay attention to each other at the ceremony. In this way, it is not ruled out that Huang Bei wants to dig a pit. Princess Yelu nodded and analyzed.

"But if the box is real, how can I store it if I don't bring it?" Yun Chuan was obviously a little anxious, and stood up in a hurry.

Queen Qiqige's eyes were as bright as the full moon, and she looked at Yun Chuan who was jumping in a hurry, and said puzzledly: "Is Snow Lotus true or false, what does it have to do with you, what are you in a hurry?" ”

"I, I'm not afraid that they will blame us? Last time, Sheng Ze was hurt enough by Ming Cheng, this time we can't suffer this dumb loss again, I'll go to my uncle to ask for clarification! Yun Chuan turned around and planned to go out, thinking of Yu Wenhan, who only had a seven-day deadline, feeling guilty and anxious.

Princess Yelu grabbed Yun Chuan, dragged her back to her, stroked her hand, and said kindly, "Why are you so anxious?" We haven't gotten to the point where we have to worry about women, and your father and Uncle Yelu must have a way. You haven't come to see your aunt for a long time, why don't you miss me at all. ”

"Auntie, of course I miss you! Ask my mother, and I will talk to you every day. Yun Chuan stood up, looked at Princess Yelu in embarrassment, took her hands and swayed from side to side, her eyes were delicate, and said, "Although our Tusang women are the most blessed and don't have to worry about anything, but you know my temperament, I like to join in the fun the most, if I don't figure it out, I won't be able to sleep!" Auntie, just let me ask! ”

After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he pulled out his hands, and suddenly gave Princess Yelu a bear hug, and then kissed her loudly on the face, and then prepared to do the same to his mother, Queen Qige immediately stretched out her hands to stop her: "Excuse me, I don't eat your set, I don't look serious." ”

Yun Chuan grimaced, turned around and ran away with a grin, and the laughter of Princess Yelu and the sigh of Queen Qige came from behind him.

Yun Chuan walked out of the yurt and found a quiet place to ponder: Who stole the hundred-year-old snow lotus? Wei Xu was at the door of the yurt, how could he not notice it at all? Princess Nata is the least anxious, and has been working against Ming Cheng, who seems to be in a hurry. Could it be that Huang Bei really just wants Snow Lotus to disappear, and as for the rest, it's all a bluff?

Then, the most critical question comes: Is the century-old snow lotus that disappeared tonight real or fake? If it's fake, is there really any?
