After Tuoba Northern Qi led the army into the city, the hundred cavalry were separated from him, and their Tuoba family naturally had an exclusive post station in this royal city for those cavalry to rest, and Tuoba Northern Qi himself was going to rush to the inner city of the royal court that was about the same nature as the Great Chu Imperial Palace.

Now living in that inner city, nominally in charge of the entire grassland, is the Yelu family, whom the twelve wolf kings need to look up to.

The grassland is always full of heroes competing for deer, until eighty years ago, the Yelu family sprung up, and a generation of male lords Yeluqi was only about to unify the entire grassland.

It wasn't until he was not the Twelve Wolf Kings at the beginning, but it had begun to take shape, and the Twelve Families made up their minds to join forces to resist, which barely stopped Yeluqi's pace of dominating the grassland.

Later, after more than a dozen rounds of discussion and deliberation, the Yelu family and the twelve families made a contract, the twelve families were willing to recognize the Yelu family's sole supremacy on the grassland and worship its leader as the king of the grassland, and the twelve families were willing to bow down to the king of the grassland and pay the annual contributions on time.

But there is one thing, apart from having to divide their twelve families as wolf kings, the steppe king cannot encroach on their territory for any reason or in any way.

After the general direction was set, the content of the subsequent discussion became simpler, and the pattern of the coexistence of one grassland king and twelve wolf kings on the grassland was gradually established, and the next eighty years gradually stabilized.

In addition to the fact that they themselves have been fighting and dying for many years and need to recuperate, it is also because the originally weak and incompetent Great Zhao Dynasty has been seized by a family surnamed Chu in the past 80 years.

In addition to the change of neighbors, the most important point is that this family surnamed Chu is still very difficult to mess with, don't believe you just look at the black armor Xuanqi on the border.

When the Great Zhao Dynasty ruled the world, they could go to the customs and plunder whenever they wanted, but what about these grassland masters now? Since their fathers passed away, their generation has not had the opportunity to go to the customs to have a look.

But the neighbors are not easy to mess with, it doesn't mean that these grassland kings and wolf kings on the grassland can really keep to themselves. Especially since their Yelu family has been in the position of the king of the steppe for eighty years.

In addition to the restless guys among the twelve wolf kings below who want to pull down their Yelu family, their Yelu family themselves also want to raise their status to a higher level.

This sentence was still a bit bluffing eighty years ago, but in the past eighty years, their Yelu family's control over the twelve wolf kings has become very weak, and even the annual annual payment is only a simple form of handing over some cattle and sheep.

is still the same sentence, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, this grassland king looks infinite on the surface, but how difficult it is secretly is not enough for outsiders.

The reason why Yelu Hongbin, the current king of the grassland, married Tuoba Linglong of the Tuoba family is to win over a real and reliable ally for himself.

Or say that this royal court is the royal court! Just look at the posture of this inner city is different from the royal city of ordinary wolf kings, and even the gate of this inner city can be worth two of other people's families.

Tuoba Northern Qi seems to often enter and exit from here, and the guards guarding the city instantly lost interest in inspecting the waist card after seeing that it was him, and let him ride by.

Over the years, whether it is the military system or the official system in the royal city, Yelu Hongbin, the king of the grassland, has all been learning and imitating from Dachu. Therefore, the inner city of the royal court seen at this moment also looks similar to the palace of Da Chu.

In fact, the construction of the palace is nothing, Yelu Hongbin didn't know that some scholars were recruited from there, and then he set up a small court on his own initiative, and he had to go to court every day.

It's just that the scale and number of officials in this fake palace are much more stingy than Chu Zheng's palace and the number of talents, giving people the feeling that they are playing at home.

Compared with the unevenness of officials, the slightly larger palace is still decent, but even if this fake palace is placed in Dachu, it is at most a palace of Chu Zheng.

However, such a palace complex is rare for the grassland, which is extremely short of wood, stone and iron, and it can also be seen from here Yelu Hongbin's determination to enter the Central Plains.

Riding a horse all the way to the gate of the so-called harem, Tuoba Beiqi stopped his horse and turned over, and then a chamberlain who looked like a eunuch ran over to lead the horse for him. It's just that his trembling steps make it look like he's about to fall.

"Yo, little prince, why are you here! The princess thinks you are in a hurry, so go in and be quiet. ”

While leading the horse, he did not forget his professional ethics, and slapped a sycophant by the way, anyway, the sentence just now didn't take much saliva, but if such a little pony ass were accumulated one by one, it might become an opportunity for him to be promoted in the future.

For a person of his age, the gold and silver treasures are no longer in his eyes, he just wants a cemetery after death, but if he wants to get rid of the fate of being thrown into the wilderness after death, he has to continue to climb up, and only when he becomes the chief official of the harem can he find a good cemetery for himself.

"There is Father-in-law Lao. ”

The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't have a smiling face, although Tuoba Beiqi looks down on these guys who are not human or ghost, but since everyone is willing to greet them with a smile, he will not be stingy with his politeness.

"Why is the little prince still polite to the old slave, these are what we should do, the little prince should go in quickly!"

This time, Tuoba Beiqi didn't answer again, took a step and walked in, leaving the eunuch in place, this is not what he wants to hold up or anything, but the sentence just now is enough for this old eunuch to be happy for several days.

After entering the harem, Tuoba Beiqi walked straight towards his aunt's dormitory without the slightest delay along the way, and no one jumped out to stop him along the way.

Chu Zheng's eldest wife's bedroom is called Kunning Palace, so this Yelu Hongbin also gave his eldest wife, that is, Tuoba Linglong's dormitory, the name of Kunning Palace, and he also said that sooner or later, Tuoba Linglong would move to the real Kunning Palace.

"Auntie!"

Before he walked into the door, Tuoba Beiqi's loud voice had already begun to shout, he had not been very close to his mother since he was a child, but this aunt had the best relationship with him, and the reason why he came to the royal court was like going home, because he would run here to visit his aunt whenever he had nothing to do.

"Northern Qi!"

Also exclaimed in surprise was Tuoba Linglong who ran out of the room, although she had only seen this nephew last month, but she still missed him very much, he had been depressed for a long time when Tuoba Shence came before when he didn't see Tuoba Beiqi.

In fact, Tuoba Linglong, who ran out of the house quickly, was not very beautiful, and the years had already drawn some furrows on her face.

But there is a special smell on her body that only a prairie woman has, and if she smells it carefully, it feels like smelling the fragrance of grass on the prairie.

But don't be deceived by this woman, she can rely on her ordinary appearance to be the princess, in addition to the fact that she is the eldest daughter of the Tuoba family, it is also inseparable from her own efforts.

can rely on her own strength to firmly twist her husband's family and her mother's family into a rope, although this is due to the urgency of the times, but it is also inseparable from her efforts, and Yelu Hongbin has always called him the smartest princess.

"You are such a child, why didn't you come with your father when he came? ”

After approaching, Tuoba Linglong naturally hugged Tuoba Beiqi into his arms, as if he had seen his own child.

"Hehe, auntie, didn't I hear about a sword cultivator on the grassland a few days ago, I thought about it, we haven't had a sword cultivator on the grassland yet! ”

Tuoba Linglong lifted him up from his arms and reached out a hand to scratch his nose.

"You, if you have that time, it's not good for me to come and accompany my aunt early, and I'm going to chase some sword cultivation. If he hurts you again, don't you want to die of heartache for your aunt and me!"

Tuoba Beiqi grabbed one of Tuoba Linglong's arms and said.

"Hehe, auntie, I'm not here, besides, even if he really meets that sword cultivator, he can't beat me, Beiqi is now a quasi-first-grade master!"

"Okay, okay, you're the best, okay. ”

Tuoba Linglong pretended to be a little helpless and patted the back of Tuoba Beiqi's hand, but the kindness in her eyes could be seen at a glance.

"By the way, auntie, what about my father and uncle? Why didn't I see them. ”

Tuoba Linglong took him by the hand and walked towards the room.

"They're in the house, and your father and uncle are discussing a big matter, but you're not too young, so it's okay to go in and listen. ”

Pushing open the door of the house, two middle-aged and elderly men who looked about the same age sat opposite each other, and there were no chamberlains and maids serving them in the room, but Tuoba Linglong himself poured tea and water for them.

These two men are also very ordinary, one is not like the biggest king on the grassland, and the other is not like the wolf king with heavy troops, and they don't look as imposing as the little guy Tuoba Beiqi!

"Northern Qi, you are finally here, I have discussed a lot of things with your father these days, if these things can be successful in the end, your uncle and I will at least crown you a prince!"

Tuoba Beiqi was invincible in front of others, but he behaved like a good baby in front of these people, just like at this moment, his big eyes blinked and blinked.

"Uncle, what did you and Daddy say! Why do I get more confused the more I hear it, and the title of prince, isn't this what Da Chu said, what does it matter to us!"
