Chapter Thirty-Six: The Undercurrent of the Waves
Hearing Shangdu Khan's decision, everyone was in disbelief. Changsun Huan stretched out his finger and nodded and put it down helplessly, saying, "Ruthless enough, ruthless enough!" ”
As the saying goes, "Tiger poison does not eat children", Yun Chuan looked at Shangdu Khan in surprise, this is his only son, and it is not easy to be old and have children. Yun Chuan asked in a low voice unwillingly, "Is there no other way?" ”
"What more do you want? This is the only heir to the throne of Huang Bei in the future, and now I have to scrape my bones to heal my wounds and amputate my legs to save my life, are we willing?! Ming Cheng shattered Yun Chuan's expectations and held Shang Du Khan's old hand.
Shang Du Khan's eyes softened visibly when he saw Ming Cheng, and then said to King Yelu: "Doctor stay, if you still want to stay here to find out, just keep it!" ”
King Yelu looked at Shangdu Khan meaningfully, thinking to himself that this Shangdu. The ruthlessness of Tori has not diminished in the slightest. Yun Chuan was a little uneasy, pulled the sleeve of King Yelu, and whispered: "Uncle Yelu." ”
Yelu Dynasty waved her hand and said, "Let's go out first, and let the doctor heal Bayin well." Then he ordered the doctor: "What herbs do you need, hurry up and prepare!" ”
"Yes!" The doctors bowed their heads and took orders, so they hurried to work.
King Yelu left all his entourage to listen to the dispatch of the doctors, and left the yurt with Yunchuan and Changsun Ying. When the door curtain was lifted, Yun Chuan looked back at the past, wanting to give Ming Cheng a look, hoping that she could change the status quo. But Mingcheng didn't look at her, he stood beside Shangdu Khan with a sad expression, and comforted him gently: "Khan, I'm watching here, you go and rest for a while." Shang Du Khan, who was sitting on the side, had gray hair, his hands were propped up on his knees, he was speechless, and his expression was gloomy.
Walking out of Huang Bei's residence, the eldest grandson Ying breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "I didn't expect Shangdu Khan to be so ruthless, and his own flesh and blood can be saved from death." ”
"Are you really sure it's the so-called Centennial Snow Lotus?" King Jerod sighed.
"Of course it's certain! I can see it clearly outside the curtain! Shangdu Khan fed him two of them, and said to Bayin, 'A hundred years of snow lotus can be eliminated, and eating two can definitely cure it'. The eldest grandson said firmly.
"Then it is estimated that few people in Huang Bei know about this, otherwise they would not have separated all the guards and let you take advantage of the loophole." King Yelu shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's estimated that the injuries are too serious, and the two are not worth it." It's really pitiful for little Bayin. ”
"Two of them... Yun Chuan was in a trance, thinking that the two that Shangdu Khan gave Bayin to eat would not be the two fake ones she put in.
"King Jerod, don't you think my plan is wonderful? Our doubts last night have been solved - the hundred-year-old snow lotus is long gone, and they are not only thieves shouting to catch thieves, but also trying to set blame. It's a pity that even Bayin, the only son of Shangdu Khan, can't match the face of his father after all. Seeing that Yun Chuan on the side was in a trance, the eldest grandson Ying wanted to attract her attention, and said arrogantly: "He wants to use his son's legs to prove his innocence, and it is not so easy to push the loss of the hundred-year-old snow lotus on us!" ”
"Eldest grandson, don't you feel a little guilty? Bayin is still so young, he has no grudge against you, you led him to the wolves, and now he doesn't even have his legs, are you embarrassed to show off here? Yun Chuan had accumulated too much depression and guilt in her heart, and she needed to vent it.
"Yun Chuan, I didn't want his life, isn't it his father who didn't save him?" Seeing Yun Chuan's angry appearance, Eldest Sun Ying hurriedly explained.
"Before you made this plan, you didn't know if Huang Bei had a hundred-year-old snow lotus, what if not?" Yun Chuan retorted angrily, "And you already know that Huang Bei has a hundred years of snow lotus, it is enough for you to take Huang Bei's fig down, and you still don't leave, and you want to force Shangdu Khan to admit it personally, leaving no room for relaxation, don't you want Bayin's life?" ”
"By the time I entered, Bayin had improved significantly, and such a good opportunity, of course, I had to let Shangdu Khan admit it himself. Finally they showed the fox's tail, if I left room for them, wouldn't it be a failure if they bit back in the future? Bayin's later incident is also unpredictable. Eldest Sun Ying stepped forward and explained.
"I won't argue with you, and you won't come to me much in the future! I'm afraid I'll accidentally fall into your trap, and I can't afford to hide from it. Yun Chuan stopped the eldest grandson who wanted to come forward to explain, turned around and ran away.
Yun Chuan only heard the sound of the wind blowing in her ears, she wanted to run a little faster, a little faster, let the wind be a little stronger, and blow away Bayin's pale face, rotten wounds, Shang Du Khan's merciless face, and Ming Cheng's sarcastic voice that kept coming to mind, hoping that all of this could be blown away by the wind.
Yun Chuan dragged his tired body into his yurt, sat on the carpet, and lay on the side of the desk, Yun Chuan couldn't control himself anymore, buried his head and cried. This was the first time she felt so helpless, even if she was a prince and princess? In the face of power and reputation, everything can become so small. But what Bayin has suffered, why doesn't he have a trace of responsibility?
The maid reported outside: "Princess, this is a letter sent by Xia Yi, saying that it must be handed over to you." ”
Yun Chuan took the envelope, and on it was Sheng Ze's handwriting that read "Yun Chuan personally opened", and wondered if there was any urgency? It shouldn't be Yu Wenhan who has an accident, right? Yun Chuan hurriedly looked at it-
Yunchuan:
When you read this letter, I hope you've got what you wanted.
I heard that Changsun Ying will propose to you at the "Yunshi Conference", you are my best friend, I know that you have a heroic temperament and righteousness, and you are by no means the same as Changsun Ying. I didn't want you to go to the "Marble Conference", so you don't have to face this embarrassing situation, and there is a way to push back this unreasonable request in the future. But at the moment you are in the middle of it, if everyone is coerced, you still need to plan ahead.
I have a plan, you can consider: I handed over to you the "Snow Lotus Jade Pendant", the elders know its meaning, you can rest assured to use this as a trick, you and I brotherhood, don't mind.
All is well, don't read it.
Sheng Ze
It turns out that even Sheng Ze knows, but he hides it from himself! No wonder Sheng Ze didn't want to let himself participate in the Marble Conference in the first place! "My father doesn't care about my mother's faces, how can I marry someone I don't like!" Yun Chuan sneered.
Yun Chuan took out Sheng Ze's "Snow Lotus Jade Pendant" from his waist, and the warm finger feeling passed into his fingertips, thinking: "Sheng Ze, Sheng Ze, you and I are iron-blooded brothers, how can I borrow you as a trick?" Ming Cheng used you once, if I use you again, you will become a joke in the desert. Besides, the little eldest grandson, I won't take it seriously. "Yun Chuan put the jade pendant on his waist again, what eldest grandson, even if you are the prince and grandson, the prince and the leader, if Yun Chuan is unwilling, don't think about it!
Yun Chuan walked to the residence of Witton Khan, and saw that there were only two cronies guarding outside the yurt, and Yun Chuan was about to lift the curtain to enter, but was stopped by two cronies.
"What are you doing? How long have you been following Khan? How dare I stop me? Yun Chuan was righteous in his head, and when he saw this treatment, he was even more angry.
"Princess Qiyu, the Khan has an important guest to meet, and no one is allowed to disturb it!" The guard stepped back, but still held the door.
"What guest?" Yun Chuan asked suspiciously.
"I don't know." The guard bowed his head and replied.
"I don't know or can't say?" Yun Chuan squinted, sneered, and suddenly shouted, "Father, Yun Chuan has something urgent to see!" ”
After a while, a helpless voice came out from inside: "Let her in!" ”
Only then did the two guards lift the curtain and let Yun Chuan walk in. Yun Chuan walked in with his head held high and looked around, wanting to see the dignity of the "distinguished guest" who could stop him out. At this look, Yun Chuan was instantly shocked, wasn't the monk "Master of Precepts" he had seen in the border city inn standing side by side with his father and uncle? At this moment, the master of the precepts is no longer as submissive as he was at the beginning, with a calm expression, his clothes are much fresher and cleaner, and his right hand strokes his white beard from time to time.
"This is... Yun Chuan playfully straightened the braids on both sides of his side, pretending not to know.
"Yunchuan, come, I've seen the abbot of Shaolin Temple." Wittun Khan took Yun Chuan's hand and introduced him to the Master of Discipline, "This is my eldest daughter, Ashina. Yunchuan has been pampered since he was a child and does not know etiquette. ”
Yun Chuan pouted at Witton Khan, and then saluted to the precept holder: "Yun Chuan has seen the master of the precept, I forgive you for being presumptuous, please forgive me!" ”
He bowed with his right hand and replied, "The princess doesn't have to be polite. The poor monk saw that the princess had a stretched face and an extraordinary spirit, and she would definitely be a dragon and phoenix among the people in the future, and a rich and noble person. ”
"Hahaha, thanks to the auspicious words of the master of vows. Yunchuan is my favorite daughter, don't look at her willful, but among the children of the desert, she is also a person of courage and insight. Witton Khan listened to the precept master's evaluation of Yun Chuan's face, and he smiled even more.
Yun Chuan smiled lightly, thinking that this fortune telling is too easy, just say it well, and his father is really coaxing, with his own identity in the desert, how can his eldest daughter not be a dragon and phoenix among people, a rich and noble person?
He waved his hand and said, "The wealth and nobility that the poor monk said is much greater than you think. When Witton heard this, he seemed to realize the deep meaning of the precept, and nodded his head, and his heart couldn't help but bloom.
Yun Chuan didn't want to listen to their secret words, and looked around, there were two marching simulation sand tables in this yurt, looking at the terrain layout, one of them was the map of several major ethnic groups and tribes in the desert, and the other seemed to be the border of the desert, as well as the landform of the Great Desert, and the two knives were erected on the boundary of the capital of the Great Desert. Yun Chuan was surprised: "Father, are we going to fight?" ”
Witton looked at the sand table diagram and did not shy away from it: "We have been dormant in this vast desert for a hundred years, it's time to go out for a walk." ”
"Father, isn't it good now? There was no displacement, no bloodshed. Husbands can stay with their wives and children, and children can grow up in peace. Yun Chuan asked puzzled.
"Yunchuan, you can just be the princess of the desert with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about these things." Witton patted Yun Chuan's shoulder.
Yun Chuan glanced at Uncle Helian and saw that he was still indifferent. Yun Chuan wanted to say a few words, but was interrupted by the envoy of the guard: "Princess, the general trend of the world is like the deep sea, it seems that the waves are not alarming, but the bottom of the sea is already turbulent. If you don't take it, it doesn't mean that others won't take it. If you want to protect the common people and the peace of the people, you can only become bigger and stronger. ”
Yun Chuan looked at the precept intently, he didn't see it for a few days, he didn't see the timid and cowardly and benevolent and righteous promise in the border city inn at the beginning, the precept master in front of him had blazing eyes, firm and profound, this was the elder who said to Wang Chengyue, "Turn back is the shore", and he was clearly the staff of the "heart of the city". "I often hear people from the Buddhist family say, 'Buddha nature is always pure, where is dust', why do you go the opposite way, master?"
When Witton heard Yun Chuan's words, he stopped awkwardly: "Yun Chuan, Hugh is rude. ”
"It's okay." With a smile on his face, he waved his hand at Witton and said, "If the whole world is studying Buddhism like Princess Yunchuan, then the world is really dust-free." It's a pity that there are many greedy and selfish people in this world, as the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? If I can make the world peaceful, I am willing to survive this calamity. ”
"Then have you ever asked the people of the world if they want you to go to this so-called hell for them? Are they willing you to cause this calamity for them? Yun Chuan retorted.
"Strange stones fall from the sky, treasures are in place, and fate is determined." Caution said firmly.
"Treasure? Are you saying that strange stones are really about treasures? Yun Chuan asked in surprise.
"Exactly." Guarding his eyes was far away, and he said slowly.
"So, what does this have to do with fighting? It has long been rumored that once the treasure comes out, the world is in chaos, this treasure should not be made public at all, and the treasure legend hundreds of years ago does not know whether it is true or false, is it necessary to find out? Yun Chuan was unconvinced, and wanted to have a theory with the precepts, but was abandoned and stopped by Helian, who had not spoken for a long time: "Yun Chuan, didn't you say that you have something urgent to see your father?" ”
Yun Chuan then remembered the purpose of her coming, originally she didn't want to mention this matter in front of so many people, but the waves were unsettled, and Yun Chuan couldn't care about it so much, and directly questioned Witton Khan: "Father, the eldest grandson Ying proposed to you, did you refuse?" ”
