Don listened quietly to his heartbeat. When Xiao Yan came in, he raised his head and took a sharp breath, as if a person who had faked death had suddenly awakened.

"Have you been to see the Dragon King?"

"Hmm. ”

"If you come to see me first, I will ask you not to go. ”

"I understand, but I have to try. ”

Xiao Yan sat opposite Dotun, straightened the hem of his skirt, and stared at him, feeling both grief and pride in his heart, "Are you ready?"

Don didn't answer, with a pensive expression, "Do you remember what the old Khan King said at that time?"

"What?" The two often know each other's true thoughts in their hearts, but this time she can't guess.

"That's ...... More than ten years ago, I seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and the old Khan king executed the then Kuayu king, do you remember?"

"Yes. At that time, King Kua was the last of the kings, and he was his younger brother. Xiao Yan thought that Duo Dun was hurt by the scene, and said softly: "This is the tradition of the Khan family, and every time a new Khan King is born, it will ......."

She couldn't go on.

Dotun looked dazed, then smiled: "You misunderstood, I mean the way to the execution ground." I remember it was very blue, and you were riding a horse, and you were wearing a blue robe, and you would run before and after. The head of the guard was very dissatisfied, and slandered the old Khan, saying that you have trespassed. The old Khan King laughed, what did he say? I thought about it for a long time and didn't remember. ”

He took Dodun's hand and said in a very soft voice: "The old Khan said: I am not afraid of the flight of the one I hold in my hand, I am not afraid of it disappearing when I see it in my eyes, and I am not afraid of the ...... under my feet."

"I'm not afraid of it running. Don took over happily, relieved, and the great doubts in his heart finally came through.

"There are many similar words of the old Khan. He likes to use this kind of thing to make his rude and stupid subordinates worship him. "Xiao Yan is one of the very few people who has come into contact with the heart of the old Khan King, and he can't think of it as a god anyway.

Don didn't seem to hear Xiao Yan's judgment, and repeated the words of the old Khan king, "I hold it in my hand, I am not afraid of it flying, I see it in my eyes, I am not afraid of it disappearing, I step on it, I am not afraid of it running ......" smacked his lips, seemed to have an endless aftertaste-

"So, I never held anything in my hands. ”

Xiao Yan almost cried, and hurriedly covered it with a smile, "Why not? You hold me in your hands, and they are also loyal to you." ”

Duo Dun patted Xiao Yan's hand gently, "You are a woman like no other, the old Khan King failed to hold you, and neither can I." ”

Just as he was about to speak, Dotun quickened his voice and said, "Promise me one thing. ”

"As long as I'm not dead, I'm willing to do anything for you. Xiao Yan's tone hardened, "Speak." I will avenge you at all costs. Dragon King, Shulitu, Rollo, none of them fall. ”

Dotun shook his head, "I want you to avenge me, but the enemies are not Rollo and Shulitu, I am willing to gamble and lose, I have nothing to complain about." What I hate is the Dragon King and the Celestial Speed, one of them is a foreigner, the other is a foreign surname, and they are delusional about the battle for the throne of the Khan. That's it, I don't blink a blind eye. ”

As for why Dotun lost, Xiao Yan had a stomach, but at this moment, she just wanted to meet all of Dodun's requirements, "Dragon King and Zhesu, I remember, you will see the two of them in the flames of hell soon. ”

"Am I going to hell too?"

"The princes and sons of Khan will all go to hell, don't be afraid, sooner or later I will go down too. "Xiao Yan is full of affection, and he doesn't feel that hell is terrible at all.

Dotun smiled boyishly.

Two coughs came from outside the curtain, and one of the guards said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, midnight is almost here, what do you need...... Tools?"

"What's there?" asked Dotun.

"Poison, rope, knife, if Your Highness has other requests, I can try to meet them. The voice was so humble, as if these murderous tools were nothing more than the prince's usual gadgets.

"Poison is better. Xiao Yan said with a mouth shape.

Dotun did not accept her suggestion, and exclaimed, "Knife, sharpen a little." Then he explained in a whisper: "I'd rather die under the knife." ”

"Yes. A voice from outside answered. After a while, two soldiers entered, strangely masked, each holding an unsheathed scimitar in his hand, which shimmered in the candlelight.

Placing the scimitar on the carpet, the two soldiers bowed and withdrew.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but snort, "Shu Litu has the courage to judge, don't you have the courage to come and see?"

"Shulitu is more like the Khan prince than I thought, you can marry him and join forces against the dragon king. ”

"To deal with the Dragon King, I will be enough for one. Xiao Yan said coldly. Immediately, he changed to a soft voice, "I will not marry anyone again but you." Believe it or not, the person holding me in your hand has always been you, not the old Khan, and not any other man. ”

Don nodded solemnly, sat up on his knees, and picked up a scimitar in front of him, "It's so sweet, and you have prepared one more for me." Let's go. ”

"No, I'm going to look at you and let death be imprinted in my mind forever so that I won't forget my oath of avenging you. ”

Dotun nodded solemnly again, he had tried everything to expel the fear in his heart, but when he held the weapon of ending his life in his hand, he still felt powerless, and it was difficult to say a word.

He put the knife on his neck, found that it was not very comfortable, and even changed a few positions, which was not ideal, and finally put the knife against his abdomen, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

"I'm going to encourage the Naihang tribe to get you out. Xiao Yan said suddenly. She overestimated her level of perseverance, and still couldn't watch her beloved man commit suicide.

Dotun shook his head, the weakness of the Xiao Yan clan made him stronger, "We must not let the Naihang clan benefit." ”

He adjusted his breathing, and was about to start his breath when he remembered one more thing, "Don't let the foreigners dispose of my corpse." ”

As midnight passed, two masked soldiers entered, looking at Dodun, who was still kneeling but his head was bowed, and Xiao Yan, who was sitting beside him, and looked at each other, one of whom picked up another knife from the ground.

"Get out. Xiao Yan said without looking back.

"Ahem...... Well, I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, we ...... We ......"

"I'll send the heads over myself, without you. ”

The two soldiers looked at each other again, and after a long while, they put down their scimitars and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang is still waiting in the main tent. Then he left the tent and waited outside.

Xiao Yan helped Dodun, gently put him down on the blanket, picked up another knife on the ground, clenched his hands, knelt on the ground, looked at the familiar face, and suddenly found that his hands were trembling.

She couldn't do it.

The soldier outside coughed twice, but did not speak.

Suddenly, a very low voice came: "Do you want my help?"

Xiao Yan's heart beat violently, the scimitar almost fell, and suddenly looked back and saw a strange woman, standing in the corner for an unknown amount of time.

There was curiosity and greed in the woman's gaze, as if the lying corpse was a cute toy.

"Are you...... The Dragon King's people?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but lower his voice.

"I am a member of the Imperial Master of Xiaoyue Hall, my name is Han Fen, and I am now a captive of the Dragon King, an idler. ”

Xiao Yan didn't understand too much, but she believed that this woman was a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, "The Dragon King asked you to come?"

"It's not. Han Fen walked up to Xiao Yan's side, silent under his feet, "I want to see what the punishment is for 'giving you suicide'." It turned out to be suicide, it was too simple. Do you want to cut off someone's head? I can help you. ”

Xiao Yan was furious, "You want to help me ......"

As soon as these four words came out, Xiao Yan felt a light in his hand, and before she could react, Dodun's head had already left her body and rolled right in front of her knees.

Han Fen looked at his masterpiece with dissatisfaction, "I'm not used to using this kind of knife, the narrow knife will be a little better, and the steel wire is the best." ”

Xiao Yan's whole person froze.

The soldiers outside urged: "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang is still waiting." ”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the door, and finally woke up from his extreme shock. When he turned his head again, he found that the Xiaoyue Hall disciple named Han Fen was gone, with two scimitars, one inserted in Dotun's abdomen, and the other left on the ground, clean and shiny, without a drop of blood.

Xiao Yan personally carried Dotun's head to the main tent, attracting countless eyes on the way. The soldiers who had not yet fallen asleep in the middle of the night stood silently at the door of the tent, and even the many horses in the vicinity seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere in the air, and stood honestly, without a single neighing during the whole process.

The main tent was full of generals, and the little man stood in the doorway, holding up Dodun's head aloft and showing it to everyone, his hands and chest stained with blood.

The candlelight was bright, and the facial features of the skull were vivid, but a little sluggish.

The inside of the tent was quieter than the outside.

Shu Litu was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Yan to make such a move, and he was flustered for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it......

Xiao Yan's expression was calm, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, but he didn't see the Dragon King.

"Your Royal Highness. She said, "Even her voice was calm, "Give me the bones of Dotun, and I will bury him well." ”

"Of course. Shulitu found that his voice was a little weak, and hurriedly adjusted it, he must not show cowardice in front of the generals, especially not to lose to a woman, "You have my permission." The little Yan clan took Dodun's bones and gave him a funeral worthy of the prince's status. Dotun is not the first Khan prince to die, nor will he be the last, but the steppes will remember him because he lost to the new Khan. ”

The generals knelt down in unison, chanting "King Khan" over and over again in unison, and Xiao Yan also knelt down, followed everyone to call the King of Khan, and when the voice gradually stopped, she said: "Dodun's last words, only the little king Shulitu is qualified to succeed to the lord of the steppe." ”

In this way, she relieved the uneasiness in the hearts of the officers and men of the whole army, and also eliminated the hostility of Shulitu towards herself. There was only one thing that scared her: how much did that Han Fen hear, and how much would he leak to the Dragon King.

The voice of the Khan King gradually spread throughout the camp, and Shangguan listened attentively and whispered, "Shulitu has succeeded to the throne." ”

Gu Shenwei turned over holding her, uninterested in the news.
