Yang Yuanba and his men were taken to the camp area to the east, and Shi Shu Huxi had set aside a large piece of open space for them to camp on their own, and ordered a lot of daily necessities to be sent.

In the camp, Yang Yuanba was busy leading everyone to set up tents, and everyone heard about what happened in the main tent and came over to inquire.

"General, must it be a Western Turkic nobleman?" asked Wei Chiwan in a low voice.

"It should be! Looking at their posture, I feel like the king of heaven. ”

Yang Yuanba smiled and stuck a wooden wedge in the soil, turned around and shouted, "Fat fish!"

"It's coming!" the fat fish took a sledgehammer, spat twice in the palm of his hand, and rounded his shoulders and smashed the wooden wedge into the soil a few times.

"General, why don't I go and see what they're doing?"

Fatfish smiled slyly, "I have a way for them not to find me." ”

Yang Yuanba glanced at the deep blue water not far away, and nodded, "Be careful yourself." ”

"Don't worry! ”

The fat fish whistled and walked away as if nothing had happened, and Yu Chiwan looked at his fat back with some concern, "He's so fat, can he do it alone?"

Yang Yuanba laughed, "Don't worry! Although this kid is fat and strong, he is actually better than a monkey." ”

Wei Chiwan is really relieved not to get rid of Fat Fish, everyone has been living together for five years, and they have a deep friendship with each other, although they usually have a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm, but after all, they have been born and died together for five years, why did Fat Fish go alone, she hasn't turned a corner.

"General, why don't I take a few more brothers with him?"

Yang Yuanba glanced at her, but ignored her, he picked up the rope of the tent, tied it firmly to the wooden wedge, and stood up and walked to the other side of the tent.

His voice came from the other side of the tent, "If you go with him, you will kill him." ”

Yu Chiwan suddenly reacted, she patted her head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "You! ”

"I said Wei Chi. ”

Yang Yuanba remembered something again, walked up to her and said, "What did you think about what I told you last time?"

"Are you saying to let me out of the army?"

Wei Chiwan's face immediately became gloomy, "How many times have I told you, I will not be discharged from the army, don't persuade me anymore, persuade me again, I will deliberately die on the battlefield." ”

Yang Yuanba sat down beside her and said with a smile: "But you are already twenty years old, you should think about your life's events, besides, your father is also old, can you bear to let him come to you again?"

Wei Chiwan's father came all the way to Dali City to find his daughter home two years ago, and Yu Chiwan gave her father the salary and rewards she earned as a soldier for several years, but she herself refused to go back, as a result, her father cried, and he went back alone.

He persuaded Wei Chiwan again, "You also know your father's body, how many more years can he last?"

Thinking of her father's aging body, Wei Chiwan finally lowered her head, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "I will definitely not do it after I retire from the army, I can go to visit my father and come back." ”

Everyone has been together for five years, Yang Yuanba knows that Yu Chiwan's temper is more stubborn than a cow, and it is difficult to turn back on the things she decides, and Yang Yuanba has nothing to do with her.

At this time, Ma Shao was heard shouting from a distance: "General Changsun is here!"

Yang Yuanqing walked out of the camp tent, only to see the eldest grandson Sheng smiling and riding over, "Yuanqing, come with me!"

"The general said to go to the princess?"

"The princess wants to see you, and besides, I have something to say to you. ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, turned on his horse, and followed Changsun Sheng towards the Turkic camp in the south.

"Yuanba, the situation is a little bad!" Changsun Sheng sighed slightly.

"The general is talking about the Khan of Qimin?"

"It's him, I just heard the princess say that the Western Turks offered very favorable conditions, not only to return the captured Dulan tribe to him, but also to allow him to build a tooth tent in the Dahe District. ”

The big river area refers to a vast river valley grassland between the Dujin Mountain and the Kent Mountain, the Suoling River Basin, where the rainfall is abundant, the vegetation is luxuriant, the historical Xiongnu royal court, Rouran and the Turkic tent are here, along the Suoling River to the north can reach the North Sea, is the essence of the entire grassland, and that area is currently controlled by the Tiele people.

Yang Yuanba already somewhat understood what Changsun Sheng meant, this is the Tianwu Dynasty and the Western Turks fighting for the Qimin Khan at the same time, he frowned, "I don't understand why the Western Turks do this, what good is it for them to support Dye Gan to sit big?"

"It's not good for them, but it's not good for the Tianwu Dynasty!"

Changsun Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "This is called the way of others to return their bodies, at the beginning we dealt with the Turks, provoked their relations, and forcibly let the Turks split, and now when Luo saw that we wanted to support the Turks, he tempted the Turks with heavy profits, pulled the Turks over, and broke with our dynasty, from today's attitude of the Turks, it can be seen that this person has been tempted." ”

"Doesn't Tuli know that Chu Luo is plotting against him to rebel against the Tianwu Dynasty? once Tuli rebels against Tianwu and Chu Luo attacks him again, does he still expect the Tianwu Dynasty to help him again?"

He knew, but he wanted to take advantage of the fire, and he grabbed both hands and didn't let go of any of them. ”

Changsun Sheng sighed, "What's more important is that Tuli himself doesn't want to be controlled by our dynasty." ”

The two came to the main camp area of the Turks, and they didn't say much, in the middle of hundreds of big tents, there was a wool dome tent that was as clean as a white cloud in the sky, two sizes larger than the other tents, this is the sleeping tent of Princess Yicheng, and now she has been set up as Kedun by the Khan of Qimin, with a high status, in addition to the sleeping tent, there are more than a dozen sub-tents, and even a team of Turkic warriors as a guard.

Walking not far from the big tent, Changsun Sheng patted Yang Yuanba's shoulder and said with a smile: "You go! The princess is waiting for you, I'll go and see Tuli to see if he's awake?"

Yuan Ba was stunned, "Isn't General Changsun going?"

"I have already met the princess, and she has heard that the grandson of Mrs. Yang is here, so she wants to see you, and it has nothing to do with me. Changsun Sheng's voice was already more than twenty steps away.

"Hey, aren't you coming in?"

There seemed to be someone calling him behind him, Yang Yuanba turned around and saw a Turkic girl wearing a hat off and a striped long skirt waving to him, the girl saw that he looked at her with a little dazed, and her heart was a little unhappy, "You forgot me so quickly?"

"It's really you!"

Yang Yuanba blurted out, and he finally remembered that she was the girl who toasted him, as if she was the second princess of the Turks.

He apologized: "You changed your clothes, and I don't know you." ”

"Oh!"

Adosi dragged out his voice, "It turns out that you are also the same as other Han people, you only recognize clothes and not people. ”

Yang Yuanba saw that she was articulate and knew that he couldn't talk to her, so he smiled, "Is Princess Yicheng looking for me?"

"If you want to see Kedun Niangniang, you have to pass me first!"

"Athoth!"

A soft voice came from inside the tent, "You can't snub guests like this. ”

Adosi stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly dodged out of the tent, and when Yang Yuanba passed by her, she whispered again: "Remember, my name is Adosi." ”

．．．．．．．

The first feeling that the big tent gave Yang Yuanba was that it was clean and spotless, all the items were white, and even the carpet was made of snow-white lambswool, making him feel like he was in the clouds, but this spotless white made Yuanba feel a kind of sickness, and it was only a faint fragrance of lilies in the big tent that made him feel a little bit of the breath of the world.

The dome is large, divided into three living and sleeping rooms by a curtain, and through the thin embroidered satin, you can faintly see that two people are sitting inside.

"Young Master Yang, please come in!" a soft voice came from the curtain.

Yang Yuanba hesitated for a moment, how could he get down from such a snow-white carpet, and two personal maids in white robes came up next to him, spreading pieces of sheepskin on the carpet and paving a sheepskin road.

Yang Yuanba walked to the side of the curtain, from here you can see the situation in the curtain, a low pineapple wood square table is placed in the curtain, there are several jade bottles on the table, and a woman sits on each side, one of them is Adosi's sister Anuri, but Yuanba remembers her, she and Utulang are in love with each other, and Yuanba is very impressed.

The other woman was no more than twenty years old, dressed in a snow-white dress, her black hair was combed into a high bun, her hair was pearlescent, her forehead was pasted with a flower made of gold leaf, her lips were lightly touched, and her willow eyebrows were delicately drawn.

She is the princess Yicheng of the Tianwu Dynasty, named Yang Jiao'e, the daughter of the clan, married to the Qimin Khan five years ago, before her, her sister, that is, Princess Anyi, also married the Qimin Khan in the seventeenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Qimin Khan was still known as the Tuli Khan, five years ago one night, Dulan and Datou attacked the Tuli camp at night, and Princess Anyi died in the chaos.

Immediately, Yang Xiong named Princess Anyi's sister Princess Yicheng and married Qimin Khan again, Princess Yicheng saw the burly and heroic Yang Yuanba, so she smiled and asked: "You are the grandson of Mrs. Yang?"

Yang Yuanba realized that he was rude, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Humble Yang Yuanba, knock on Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"It turned out to be the son of Yuanba, please come in!"

Yang Yuanba walked into the tent, Aduosi walked in from behind, she poured a cup of hot tea for Yang Yuanba, Princess Yicheng smiled and waved her hand, "Son, please take a seat!"

Yang Yuanba sat down, bowed and said, "I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess has called her humble position, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I heard that it's from my hometown, so I want to see it. ”

Princess Yicheng gave Anuri a look, Anuri pulled her sister, and the sisters got up and withdrew from the tent.

There were only two people left in the curtain, Princess Yicheng and Yang Yuanba, and there were two personal maids standing outside the curtain, Princess Yicheng suddenly got up and knelt down, and said to Yang Yuanba with tears: "Please ask Gongzi to save my life!"

Yang Yuanba was stunned, he thought that the princess would talk to him about his hometown, but in a blink of an eye, he turned into a princess asking for help.

"Princess, don't dare!"

Yang Yuanba is just a side general, and the dignified Princess Tianwu knelt down to him, making him a little unbearable, "Princess, please get up, I am willing to serve the princess!"

Princess Yicheng sat up and said with some sadness: "Young Master Yang, I didn't say it to Changsun Sheng, I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, but I felt that Tuli wanted to kill me." ”

Yang Yuanba was silent, he knew the danger of the princess, if Tuli really decided to form an alliance with the Western Turks and betray Tianwu, then killing Princess Yicheng was inevitable, but Yang Yuanba also knew that after all, Tuli was afraid of the Tianwu Dynasty, he didn't dare to do it himself, and it was likely to borrow the hands of the Western Turks to get rid of the princess.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanba said in a deep voice: "I believe that if Tuli wants to kill the princess, he will definitely kill us first, so Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to be nervous, since we are already vigilant, then there will be precautions." ”

"But it's easy for Qimin Khan to kill me, and the team of guards around me are all his people, I don't know ..... Gongzi"

Princess Yicheng looked at her with a sad gaze, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and she couldn't help but think of her fate, if Tuli died, she would have to marry his son, and if his son died and her grandson succeeded to the throne, then she would have to marry his grandson.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, this noble princess of the Tianwu Dynasty was like a helpless lonely sheep on the grassland at this time, with nothing to rely on, she could only ask for help from her compatriots.

A kind of national courage was slowly stimulated in Yang Yuanba's heart, he clenched his fists, this is the princess of his own dynasty, it is the dignity of the Tianwu Dynasty, it is his Yang Yuanba's responsibility to protect her, he must not let her be hurt in the slightest.

"I will send a team of soldiers to protect Her Royal Highness, the leader is surnamed Wei Chi, she is actually a woman who served in the army for her father, and I hope that Her Royal Highness will keep her secret. ”
