Chapter 383: Kedun Training Camp (Part II)
See the fastest updates
Although they had long been able to see Yu Dujun Mountain in the distance, the Tongluo tribe still walked on the road for two whole days before they could reach the outskirts of the Turkic Khanate.
Due to the late arrival of the Tongluo tribe, the good place with abundant water and grass has long been snatched up by the other tribes that arrived first. Ge Lu discussed with the people for a long time, and then forced into an empty field near the river valley, and set up camp to make a fire and cook.
Li Yifeng had been missing since noon, saying that he had rushed to the Turkic Khan's court to seek support first.
In just two days, Murong Xiaobai was almost tortured by tulips and flower demon girls to lose his human form, and he spoke weakly, but he really had a bit of the charm of a Jiangnan woman's soft voice.
After dinner, the sun on the grassland has not yet completely set, the crimson afterglow shines on the mountains, and the layers of forests are like frost and are extraordinarily enchanting, but they reveal a kind of rugged vicissitudes of beauty unique to Mobei.
Diao Xiaosi and Ya Lauder pretended to be samurai retinues, and followed the great Qi Jin Gelu of the Tongluo tribe to the Turkic Khan's court to meet Jieli Khan. The two of them were dressed as Turkic cavalrymen, and they mixed in a team of hundreds of people and marched towards the mountain of Yu Dujun.
There were tents everywhere along the way, one after the other, as if they stretched to the end of the sky. Rao is a guy like Diao Xiaosi who doesn't care about state affairs, and he can't help but secretly speak, thinking that if Jieli Khan suddenly runs to Guanzhong with his subordinates to have a birthday party, Li Yuan will have to go bankrupt.
The court of the Turkic Khan was set up on a hillside directly south of the Yudujun Mountain, surrounded on all sides by a wooden fence, which was far from the tall and strong walls of the Central Plains. The only defenses that might work a little were the towering arrow towers, but even the gates were made of wood. If a siege vehicle crashes into it, three or two clicks will solve the problem.
However, with the strong military strength of the Turks, it would be very good if he did not provoke others, and who would take the initiative to provoke trouble in order to test the stability of the defense facilities of the Turkic Khan's court? Not to mention the fact that the expeditionary force had been killed and wounded before it could reach the ground with the distance from the Central Plains to the Yudu Army Mountain, and the natural barrier of the Gobi Desert.
It can be seen that more than 700 years ago, Wei Qing and Huo Quai's sick horses stepped on the Huns in a hundred battles, and their military exploits were really not blown. It's a pity that the strong men of the year have long been wiped out, and today's Central Plains is still full of wars, and it is far from recovering from the pain of the Wuhu chaos.
Besides, the Turks and the Xiongnu are basically twin brothers carved out of a mold, both are good at riding and shooting, and the city walls are a burden for them both offensive and defensive, and there are few thankless cities in history.
Golu's visit to Jieli Khan was just a routine, and it was over in a few words.
Of course, Gelu did not get nothing, Jieli Khan offered to go to the camp of the Tongluo tribe tomorrow, which was a big deal with face.
After withdrawing from Jieli Khan, Ge Lu was overjoyed, and turned his head to visit Princess Yicheng again.
Don't look at Princess Yicheng, Lao Zhuhuang, who married from the Great Sui, but her status in the Turkic Khan's court is very lofty.
It is said that a good woman does not marry a second husband, and a good horse does not deserve two saddles. But in the vast prairie, this golden rule is like a fart. Take Princess Yicheng as an example, she has married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and the current Jieli Khan, from father to son, from brother to brother, none of them are missing.
Of course, the three ex-husbands of Jieli Khan and Princess Yicheng are still different, and the biggest difference is that the first three of them are ...... All are dead.
Sure enough, as Elleder expected, when she heard that Ge Lu was visiting, Princess Yicheng personally dressed up to greet her.
Diao Xiaosi's identity is not enough, so he can only hide in the crowd and secretly look at this old woman, but he didn't see what she was brilliant about, and she could make the four generations of khans forget about life and death.
When Princess Yicheng and Ge Lu entered the big tent of Kedun, the entourage of the Tongluo tribe, including Diao Xiaosi, scattered around the camp to have fun, leaving only a dozen unlucky personal guards to poke candles outside the big tent.
Soon, someone got into one tent after another, taking advantage of the night to catch up on the love of men and women.
The Turkic folk customs are very different from those of the Han people, and in general, they are very open to the affairs of men and women, and the status of women is slightly higher than that of the Han people. Even if young men and women have an affair with each other, their parents usually don't take it seriously, what is Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, greetings, as nomads live in the grass all year round, how can they have the leisure to play this set of elegant arts?
Diao Xiaosi's heart was very envious, and for a short time, he had the urge to be a traitor.
It's a pity that he has to find Li Xiuning first, as for Liu Wenjing's bad old man, forget it, presumably no one has an appetite for him.
He pretended to look for flowers and willows, and quietly stretched his spiritual sense to explore one tent after another. It had to be done, and it had to be done carefully, and God knows which tent had a top master in it.
But Diao Xiaosi was not out of the question, he specifically looked for a big tent guarded by someone to investigate, and sure enough, there was a result soon.
In a large tent about 300 zhang away from Princess Yicheng, his spiritual sense detected Li Xiuning.
This large tent is relatively independent, surrounded by an open space, and the door is guarded by two Turkic warriors, and it is not easy to blend in.
Diao Xiaosi went around to a secluded place and whispered to Elleder: "You help me watch the wind outside." He threw out a talisman and slammed it down.
"When!" his head slammed into the iron-like ground, and suddenly his eyes were full of self-esteem, and he said angrily with his feet to the sky: "Your mother, you actually set a ban!"
Elle helped him up from the ground and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, don't you want to think about whose camp this is, can people easily sneak into the soil?"
Diao Xiaosi touched his aching forehead, and said angrily: "Then what should I do, even if Lao Tzu uses an invisibility talisman, he has to open the tent door, right?"
Elle patted the dust off his body for him, and said with a smile: "Who made me your little maid?"
Diao Xiaosi's eyes flickered, his body shattered into the void, and in an instant, he came to Li Xiuning's big tent.
It is a typical Turkic tent, large and high, with no skylight on the roof and only one door. The appearance is made of a checkered pattern made of wooden sticks, and then two thick ropes are used to block two ways, so that the square composed of wooden sticks is divided into three groups, and the door opening is high and narrow to facilitate access, but the lighting is very bad, and the house must be lit.
Li Xiuning, dressed in Turkic clothes, was sitting on a snow-white woolen blanket facing the tent door, as if she was aware of the abnormality of the space behind her, and she looked back in amazement to see a Turkic young man with a blue nose and swollen face standing in the big tent and looking around blankly.
Li Xiuning was startled, quickly calmed down, and asked quietly, "Who are you?"
Diao Xiaosi was silent, first threw Zhang Dao Fu to block the sound in the tent, and then said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I will help Xiaochai pick you up." ”
"Little Fourth Brother?!" Li Xiuning's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "How did you sneak in?" Chai Shao...... Where, is he okay?"
"Xiao Chai has already arrived at Yu Du Jun Mountain, and he lives not too far from you. ”
He knew that the time was urgent, and Ge Lu might leave at any time, so it was rare not to add oil or vinegar, and to explain the ins and outs of the matter concisely, of course, mainly about the movements of Li Xiuning and Chai Shao.
Li Xiu listened quietly, and said softly: "It's good that Chai Shao has nothing to do." ”
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you out of here, you and Xiaochai can be reunited without a pillar of incense. ”
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Li Xiuning shook his head and said, "I can't go with you." ”
"What's the matter, that old woman poisoned you? It's okay, I can solve it. ”
"No," Li Xiuning said in a low voice: "I'm fine, you let Chai Shao not worry." ”
Diao Xiaosi said strangely: "What do you want to say, go and talk to Xiaochai yourself, why are you using me as a microphone?"
After a long silence, Li Xiuning said slowly: "I have promised Princess Yicheng to participate in the concubine selection conference. ”
"You? You are Xiao Chai's wife, and your husband is in Yu Du Jun Mountain, what concubine do you choose......?
Finding that Li Xiuning looked indifferent and did not react, Diao Xiaosi suppressed her laughter and realized that she might be playing for real.
"You really want to be Turkic Kedun, what about Xiao Chai?" He didn't ask about Li Yuan or Li Shimin, who had the best relationship with Li Xiuning, anyway, in the eyes of these guys, Kedun's position was much more valuable than a younger sister. What is the royal princess, the golden branches and jade leaves, in fact, are the spare parts of the political marriage, in order to maintain the glory and wealth of the entire family, they are ready to sacrifice at any time.
Li Xiuning said calmly: "He will understand." ”
"Fart! He followed you all the way from the Dragon Gate Inn to Blackstone Fort, and then from Blackstone Fort to Yu Dujun Mountain. What do you want him to understand?"
Li Xiuning didn't answer, untied a beaded chain from his wrist and handed it to Diao Xiaosi: "Transfer it to him on my behalf and make a memorial." ”
"Smack!" Diao Xiaosi slapped the bead chain away, and pointed at Li Xiuning and said, "I won't help you embarrass Xiao Chai." What are you, the Buddha who sacrificed his life to feed eagles, a chivalrous woman who served the country and the people? Shit, a stupid woman! You overestimate your own charm, even if you become a Kedun, Jieli will take the whole Turk as a dowry for you? And that old woman, how can you believe her words, and your brain is pushed by the horns?"
Li Xiuning silently picked up the bead chain and said, "What you said makes sense, I actually thought about it." But it's a good opportunity, isn't it?"
"Lao Tzu just kidnapped you. ”
Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled, and said softly: "You won't, I know it!"
"Why wouldn't I...... Well, today I won't tie you up, because I bet Jieli Khan won't take a fancy to you at all. Even if he is willing to agree, those Kedun and Turkic dragon sons and tribal leaders will definitely not accept you. I can't do good things in Diao Xiaosi, and I definitely have the experience of making trouble!"
Li Xiuning's eyes were complicated and indescribable, and he said: "Little Four, don't mess around, don't underestimate Princess Yicheng's strength." ”
Diao Xiaosi felt panicked in his heart, first Princess Jincheng, and now Li Xiuning jumped out, all because of Princess Yicheng's old witch who made trouble for no reason.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, it's not me who is messing around." But since someone breaks the rules of the game, don't blame Lao Tzu for going crazy!"
