Liu Yu stood away from Yaoyuan Taizhang Xu and stood against the wall. His lips were tightly closed, and he refused to speak. For a moment, there was deathly silence in the tent. The sound of leather boots skimming the grass as the soldiers patrolled outside the tent was clearly heard inside the tent.

Haruka Tai stared at his face, but he didn't speak. He looked at Liu Yu carefully, and after a long time, the fierce color on his face gradually faded, and finally turned into a sigh. He walked to the couch, opened the carpet, and pulled out a jar of wine from under the mattress. The entrance of the altar is sealed with old mud and looks like it has been around for many years.

He smiled at Liu Yu, his smile was quite reluctant, and said: "This wine was found on the road by accident this time, I heard that it is quite famous, and it is called 'Bingtang Chun' in your Central Plains, and Emperor Xuanzong liked to drink it the most on weekdays. I knew you liked to drink, so I brought you back to drink with you. ”

Liu Yu's heart was hot after hearing this, he knew that Yao Yuantai had always been a drunkard since he used the army, and he had always shown himself a majestic and resolute image on weekdays. He is willing to hide this altar of Bingtang Spring, which shows the depth of his friendship with him.

In the face of Yao Yuantai's hospitality, if he was modest and shirked, he would inevitably be a little too cautious. So he hurriedly took a few steps forward, took out two porcelain bowls from the box beside him, and placed them on the table.

Yao Yantai smashed the sealing mud at the mouth of the altar with one palm, and wanted to pour the wine into two coarse porcelain bowls, and sighed: "It's a pity that such a good wine, we don't have a matching wine glass on the grassland to hold it." ”

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to take the wine jar and said, "Sixth Master, I'll pour it." Yao Yantai said: "It's okay, I'll come." He looked around vigilantly, listened to the voices outside the tent, and said, "Go out and tell the guard outside the tent, don't let him in, I don't want others to see me drunk." When he said the last sentence, he laughed.

Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot. He did as he had been told, and then returned to the desk. Yao Yuantai motioned for him to sit down opposite, Liu Yu was flattered, this kind of equal treatment was something he couldn't have imagined in the past.

He had already prepared for what Yao Yantai wanted to say, and said in his heart: "Instead of letting the sixth master blame me, it is better to take the initiative to take responsibility and eliminate the suspicion in his heart." He picked up the wine bowl with both hands and saluted: "Sixth Master, what I did was wrong, I shouldn't ......."

Yao Yuan Tai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "There is nothing wrong with you, a manly man, who doesn't want to take the world for himself? If anyone dares to say no, I will definitely point at his nose and accuse him of lying!"

When Liu Yu heard this, he swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach, he actually wanted to say that he didn't care about fame and fortune. But now it seems that Haruka Tai won't believe him anyway.

He looked down and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Yao Yuantai, who was sitting across from the desk, his face was solemn and did not look like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He said: "Sixth Master, the apprentice is reckless by nature, if something makes you unhappy, please forgive me, I will punish myself first for this bowl of wine!" As he spoke, he brought the wine bowl to his lips and wanted to drink it all.

Yao Rantai picked up the wine bowl, touched him, and said, "Come, let's drink together!" As he spoke, the two of them drank at the same time, and a hint of blush immediately reflected on Yao Rantai's cheeks. His face was full of red light, and then he lifted the wine jar, filled the thick bowl in front of the two of them, and said: "Apprentice, in fact, I only have one request, and after you hear it, don't think that the teacher's chest is small." ”

Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "What do you want, Sixth Master, just say it." Yao Yantai stared into his eyes without blinking at all, and said, "I only ask you not to weigh the sweat, we can discuss other things!"

"Called Khan?" Liu Yu couldn't hold back anymore after hearing this, and jumped up from his seat, "Sixth Master, I dare to swear to the heavens, I have never had such an idea! I, a Han Chinese, have no roots and no foundation in the grassland, how can I be the Khitan Khan?"

Yao Yuan Tai said: "But Brother Liu told me that my subordinates all want to support you, why 'Eagle Khan'?"

"Eagle Khan, if she thinks about it, this is absolutely nothing!" Liu Yu's voice suddenly became agitated, "Princess Brother Liu is not an ordinary woman, Sixth Master, you shouldn't easily believe her words." ”

Haruka Tai sighed, and he lifted the bowl and tilted his neck. The remnants of wine ran down his neck, soaking his clothes, and he didn't care. He furrowed his brows, sorted out his thoughts, and carefully filtered through the events of the past two days in his mind.

Then, he said: "The matter has to start from yesterday morning, when I thought that the general situation was gone, so I kept going west, intending to reach the foot of Yin Mountain and unite with the small tribes there, in order to make a comeback and fight with Yelu Shilu again.

Brother Liu sent someone to catch up with me at this time, saying that you led my people to a great victory, and that Yelu Shilu's men and horses were either dead or fled, and six or seven out of ten had gone. At first, I couldn't believe it, but then I asked some people who had traveled west, and I realized that she didn't lie to me, and these words were true.

"She sent a message to me, 'Let me come back and take command of the army, and if it is any later, my subordinates will all be in charge of you. When I heard this, I was shocked, and I couldn't believe that what she said was true, but I didn't dare not believe it.

"Disciple, you know who I am, and I have no interest in the position of Khan. If there are other children of the Yao Yuan clan who can take on this role, I will be the first to turn around and leave, find a quiet place, and bury my head in studying my Khitan and go.

"But then again, if I watch the position of Khitan Khan fall into the hands of someone other than the Yao Ran clan, let the Yao Ran clan's century-old foundation end in my hands. Then I'm afraid that after my death, I won't have the shame to see my ancestors and ancestors again.

Thinking of this, I led the people back overnight, and on the way, we met another messenger sent by Brother Liu. She seemed to have expected me to come, saying that she was waiting for me in the place where it used to be Baoyue Mountain.

"I saw Brother Liu outside the big array of Baoyue Mountain, she was dressed in red, riding a horse and standing in the vast snow, looking at me with a smile. If it weren't for what she had said to me, I would have thought she had come to me to tell me the good news.

"However, her first words shocked me, and she said to me, "You are leading my 20,000 people to pay tribute to the first Khan in the Great Array, and then you will ascend the throne and become Khan in the name of the heir of the Yao Ran clan."

"I heard a buzz in the back of my head, and I couldn't believe that you, a good apprentice, would do such a thing. She looked at my dejected appearance and smiled, saying that you will definitely not be able to get out if you are trapped in the big array, and then handed me a drawing, saying that it is the method of entering and exiting the big array of Baoyue Mountain. If I can personally save my people from the battle, then the hearts of the people will still be on me.

I hurriedly took the drawings from her hand, and without thinking about it, I led the generals to rush into the big array, only to find that you had long since disappeared, and only saw the wood ash that had just burned out on the snow, so I thought that what Brother Liu said was true, and you had already weighed the sweat.

"When I saw this, I felt like I was crazy, and I thought I was a fool, and I actually gave up the century-old foundation of the Yao Yuan clan. So I led my generals in pursuit all the way, and I found you at the foot of this mountain. ”

Liu Yu said: "But Sixth Master, when you first arrived, Chi Huwei and all the soldiers knelt down to greet you, their hearts have indeed been on you all the time, and at that moment you should know that I didn't actually call Khan, everything was a rumor made by Brother Liu." ”

Yao Yuantai said: "I know this, I have known it since the first time I entered the camp. Yet, for the whole night of the last night, I did not sleep, but went through all the camps of the army, pulled the familiar soldiers out of their sleep, and learned from them all the information I could know.

"I gradually learned that if you hadn't turned the tide at that time, led my men to retreat in time, and staged another bluff, then Jerusherus might have really dominated the grassland. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "But although your merit is great, please forgive me for not rewarding you." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "I won't blame you, Sixth Master, I understand everything." Even if I don't want to be a khan, my reputation has already been spread by Brother Naliu. If you reward me, it will definitely be used by Brother Liu and those with ill intentions, but it will not be a good thing. With that, he drank the wine from his bowl.

The two of you, one bowl and one bowl of me, drank a lot less wine in the jar. He had been a keen drinker ever since he learned to drink, and only this time he felt that the wine in the bowl was so hard to swallow.

Yao Yuan Tai looked at him, felt guilty, and said, "Disciple, if you have any other wishes, I can fulfill you." ”

Liu Yu put down the bowl in his hand, and there was still most of the wine left in the bowl. Haruka's gaze fell on the wine in his bowl, but he did not speak, and then raised his eyes to look at his face, waiting for his reply.

Liu Yu said with a sincere face: "Sixth Master, I want to ask you not to invade the Central Plains in the south after becoming a khan!"

Yao Yantai was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect you to be this request!"

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Disciple, I actually want to promise you, but this matter is very difficult. As you know, the people of the steppe can only herd horses and sheep, but the rest of the things are very simple, especially lack all kinds of skilled craftsmen. Not to mention the swords we use for war and hunting, even the daily utensils and utensils are all made by the southerners. If I don't allow my people to invade the south, I'm afraid they won't even be able to make a normal living. ”

Liu Yu proposed: "There are a large number of horses on the grassland, and the Sixth Master can use these horses to exchange them for daily necessities with the Central Plains. Yao Yantai shook his head and sighed: "If we grassland people talk about fighting, it is indeed heroic and invincible, and no one is afraid. But when it comes to doing business, it is too far away from the Central Plains, and it will only end up being deceived by them. This idea of a mutual market seems easy, but it is too difficult to do!"

Liu Yu said: "There are also shrewd people among the Khitans, such as Mrs. Xiao. This kind of thing could be done by her, and she can definitely do it well. ”

Hearing this, Yao Yantai put down the wine bowl, fell on the case with a "bang", and said angrily: "Mrs. Xiao, this snake and mouse at both ends, is really hateful, it is she who almost put me to death." I don't have time to drink her blood now, how can I work with her?

The two of them were silent and drank the wine in the jar. Liu Yu put down the wine bowl with a sigh of relief and asked one last question, "Sixth Master, what are the eight people you brought back this time doing, they seem to be from the Central Plains Martial Arts." ”

Yao Yuantai said: "Actually, if you don't ask about this, I will tell you about it." Those eight people are not ordinary characters, especially the old man among them, he is the master of the other seven, which is not simple. Tonight I will summon all the generals and introduce him to all of you. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Sixth Master, since this is the case, then I will go back first and come to see you later." As he spoke, he took out a red book from his bosom and solemnly placed it on his desk, "I have finished reading this book, and I have benefited very much." Sixth, Master, if you are free, you might as well take a look. ”

Seeing that the red cover of the book was the three big characters of "Six Army Mirrors", Yao Yuantai's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and he said with a smile: "I heard Princess Liu Ge talk about it yesterday, and she said that the bronze horse didn't know what to think, and actually handed over such a mysterious military book to you. It is because of this book that you have been able to accomplish this great achievement. I wanted to wait until the right time to ask you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to hand it over to me, which shows your sincerity. ”

Liu Yu bowed to him slightly and said, "You are my sixth master, I shouldn't have hidden it from you." Haruka Tai picked up the book on the desk and sat on the edge of the couch to read it carefully. Liu Yu lifted the curtain and was about to walk out of the tent.

Yao Yantai stopped him from behind and said with a smile: "If you want to drink in the future, come to me, don't drink with those ordinary soldiers, it's easy to break military discipline." Liu Yu paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Oh, I know, Sixth Master. ”

As soon as he walked out of the main tent, he bumped into Li Jing. Li Jing hurriedly put her finger to her lips, signaled him to be silent, and made a grinning face at several guards outside the main tent, and then pulled Liu Yu to leave in a hurry and returned to his tent.

Liu Yu asked, "What are you doing outside the tent? Let my sixth master know how bad it is." Li Jing looked dissatisfied after hearing this, and said: "Idiot, aren't people worried about you, what are you doing when you give the book "Six Army Mirrors" to Yao Yuantai, when he learns the advanced art of war, he doesn't need you." ”

Liu Yu said: "Li Weigong's book is very well written, and it is full of manly truths. If the Sixth Master had read it clearly, he would definitely have been able to understand the teachings of many sages, and he would not have doubted me. ”

Li Jing snorted and said, "I don't know what reason he can understand, but it's true that his ability to kill people will definitely increase." Liu Yu said: "Don't say that, if my sixth master really wants to harm me, he can punch me to death in the main tent just now, or accuse me of my crimes in front of all the soldiers, so that I have no place in the army." In fact, however, he was a big-hearted man, and he only invited me to a drink, and still treated me as his apprentice, and spoke to me politely. ”

Li Jing disagreed after hearing this, and said, "Hmph! I think he just treats you as a chess piece." Liu Yu said: "You think of people too badly, my sixth master is not that kind of person." ”

Li Jing was so angry that she grabbed the plate on the case and was about to throw him, saying, "I was kind enough to think about you, but you treated it as a donkey's liver and lungs." Liu Yu was afraid that she would really come up and beat herself, so she quickly dodged to the side, and then relented, and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." I heard something from the Sixth Master, and I heard that the eight people he brought this time are extremely famous, and the old man among them is even more amazing!"

Li Jing hurriedly asked, "So powerful, do you know which sect they are?" Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "I don't know this, I heard my sixth master say that he will solemnly introduce this old man to the generals in the army later today, and you will come with me when the time comes." ”

Li Jing nodded excitedly and said, "Okay! I'll meet him for a while to see what kind of powerful person he is." ”
