The 100,000-strong army of the Turkic Khanate still marched towards the Khitan.

Unlike the Central Plains dynasties, the Turkic Khanate's wars were not just an extension of politics, but also an important "productive activity". Relying on war to plunder slaves and wealth was desperately needed by all tribal leaders. Although he was a khan, he had no good reason to convince Mo Si and all the clan leaders to end the military campaign.

Cutting off people's financial routes and going against the wishes of the people, even the bones of the Khan can't be easily tried.

Xuanyunzi took Krakus and stood on a hillside watching the Turkic cavalry covering the field rush away, thinking to himself: Gu Lulu still failed to stop the military campaign against the Khitan. In this way, Gu Lulu enjoyed nominal supreme military power as a khan, but the unique Turkic custom of "advocating warriors" made Mo Si, who personally led troops to fight, have real supreme authority in the military. At this moment, Gu Lulu's heart must be aware of such a crisis. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one who built a huge steppe khanate with dozens of horsemen!

"Teacher, I also want to ride a war horse to fight!" Krakus said, pointing to the centaurs in front of him.

"There will be a day." Xuan Yunzi touched his head and said, "But you are still young, you have to concentrate on studying and practicing martial arts well, you know?" ”

"Got it, teacher!"

A few days later, it was a rainy day.

Because of the rain, Xuanyunzi did not take Krakus out to ride a horse and practice archery, but hid in the tent to teach him calligraphy, and by the way, he learned a few more Chinese characters. There are not many books on the grassland, and many of the things that Xuanyunzi teaches are dictated from memory. Fortunately, she is the master of Songshan Heavenly Master Pan Shizheng, and she is proficient in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, so she can teach Krakus with ease.

The teacher and student were concentrating on their studies, when several people suddenly walked in the tent.

Xuan Yunzi felt a little stunned, because the Bone Lu Khan had always respected Ai Yan, and the idlers and others did not dare to trespass into Ai Yan's territory without permission, let alone step into the tent.

Xuanyunzi and Krakus stopped their calligraphy and stood up, looking at the group of people who came in neatly standing in two rows. The two people in the lead are actually the Khan's wolf-toothed guards.

The Khan's wolf-toothed guards were not ordinary, and although they had neither official positions nor tribal domains, they acted directly under the orders of the Khan, and had privileges above the law within the khanate. In other words, they had the right to cut down the land before they went, as if the khan had come in person.

Xuanyunzi and Krakus thought in unison: Could it be that the Khan is coming?

One of the wolf-toothed guards waved his hand, and several slave girls in the tent hurriedly retreated. But there is still no Khan showing his face.

"What are you doing?" Krakus has always been bold and angry and boldly questioned.

The wolf rider just stroked his chest and bent down, then stepped aside and stood up straight, not answering at all.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a man walked in.

A thin man, dressed in black without revealing a trace of skin, with a hood over his head and an expressionless bronze mask on his face. His gait was not too steady, as if his left foot was slightly disabled. This step by step slowly and weakly walked over, but it made Xuanyunzi and Krakus feel an overwhelming pressure, and they couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts.

Xuan Yunzi's eyes widened and he was secretly frightened, who is this person? What a strong momentum!

Krakus exclaimed, "Uncle Yuanzhen?!" ”

"Huh?!"

Xuan Yunzi involuntarily let out an exclamation.

Wonjin?!

How did it become like this!

"Good boy, you can still recognize me like this, it's really touching and gratifying!"

Hearing this voice, Xuan Yunzi shuddered coldly!

How to describe it?

It was like the last words of a dying old man with the last breath of his life. It's like a person who has been choked by the neck, desperately squeezing a little sound out of his throat. Combined with his current appearance, it is easy to give people the illusion that this is a ghost cry from hell, and this is a sad cry from the underworld!

Krakus was not afraid, and said in surprise: "Uncle Yuanzhen, how did your voice become like this?" ”

"My throat was burned by the fire, so the sound became like this." Yuan Zhen stood fixedly, and coldly faced Xuanyunzi and the two teachers and students with the two holes in the mask, and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, Uncle Yuanzhen will love you and love you as before." Now you can go out for a while and let me have a few words with your teacher, okay? ”

Xuan Yunzi's heart tightened: What does he want to do?!

Krakus obviously didn't have much wariness of Yuanzhen, nodded and walked out, and said to Xuanyunzi before leaving: "Teacher, I'll go out for a while." I'll come back and practice calligraphy with you later! ”

Xuan Yunzi nodded and didn't say much. She thought to herself, it's a big deal to fight the fish and the net. Krakus wasn't there, but I could have let it go!

"Stand down, too!" Yuan Zhen gave another order, and the wolf-tooth guards and guards all went out.

Xuan Yunzi's eyes narrowed slightly, you are not afraid of death!

"Sit down!" Yuan Zhen changed back to Chinese, and although her voice was unpleasant, she was fluent. After that, Yuan Zhen sat down on a horse first.

Xuan Yunzi sat down indifferently, and said in his heart that you are not afraid of me, and there is no reason to be afraid. It's so close that I'm going to take your life just between the hands of you!

"You must want to kill me, don't you?" Wonjin seemed to be laughing, but her voice was worse than crying.

Xuan Yunzi ignored it, and his expression didn't even change.

"I've been watching you for days. You are unusual, you are not an ordinary Han woman. Yuan Zhen said, "You have an extraordinary martial arts, and you are also proficient in several Chinese studies. Your beauty is beyond the reach of any prairie woman. Your makeup is good, but it doesn't fool my eyes. ”

Xuan Yunzi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in his heart that this guy was so cunning, and he quietly slipped into the tooth tent while Ai Yan and Mo Si were gone, and returned to Gu Lu's side!

"But I know that your greatest strength is not your martial arts, learning, and beauty." Yuan Zhen said unhurriedly, "It's your wisdom." ”

Xuan Yunzi remained silent and did not say a word.

"You don't speak because you've been waiting for an opportunity to kill me." Yuan Zhen was also unhurried and said, "But I promise, if you really kill me, you will definitely regret it." ”

"Don't be too conceited." Xuan Yunzi finally said something.

"Yes, you're right. I have paid a terrible price because of my conceit. Yuan Zhen said, "I almost died in the sea of fire, and now I survived, but I became a half-human, half-ghost." In such a hot weather, I could only go out in a thick cloak and a mask. I'm afraid to scare you. ”

Xuan Yunzi was secretly shocked in his heart, it is said that Yuan Zhen used to be a handsome and pretty son, but now after returning from the dead, he has become like this...... It's miserable!

"Fortunately, the gods' punishment of me was not too harsh, and he spared my life and did not burn my brain out." Yuan Zhen said, "Princess Ai Yan went out to patrol, did she go for me?" You're planning to kill me in the shadows, aren't you? ”

Xuan Yunzi didn't speak.

Yuan Zhen smiled nonchalantly, although the voice was unpleasant, Xuan Yunzi could tell that he was quite confident, and he had all the wisdom beads in his hands.

"It's okay if you don't admit it. Ai Yan has always hated me and wanted to kill me, I already knew that. "She hates me for taking away her freedom, and she hates me for killing the happiness she wants." Even though I did this to protect her, the facts are the facts, and she had a reason to do so. ”

"Tell me where you came from." Xuan Yunzi said coldly.

"I appreciate your wisdom and honesty." Yuan Zhen slapped his face and said, "I'm here to cooperate with you." ”

"You seem to have found the wrong person." Xuan Yunzi said lightly.

"I can't be wrong." Yuan Zhen said, "If you can climb the sacred mountain and help Ai Yan kill Du Xiluo, it has already proved that you are not an idle person." Ai Yan is smart, but she's not smart enough to be where she is now. You tell her to do a lot of things, don't you? ”

Xuan Yunzi's heart was secretly tight, but he forgot that the guards on the Divine Mountain were all Yuanzhen's people, it was not strange that he could know this!

"Knowing who you really are, it's easy for me. But I can also keep you by Aiyan's side without exposing you. And, I will protect you. Yuan Zhen said, "For this, the price you have to pay is to cooperate with me and assist the Khan to curb the silent slurp." You'd definitely want to, wouldn't you? ”

Xuan Yunzi had to admit that Yuan Zhen hit his heart every word. Right now, it seems that there is no reason for me to refuse.

"You can think about it slowly." Yuan Zhen said, "It won't be long before Ai Yan returns." You can also discuss it with her. ”

"Why did you ask us to be a helper?" Xuan Yunzi asked.

Yuan Zhen slowly rubbed his hands and said, "I am already a wasted person, and I can no longer show my head to assist the Khan like before, let alone ride a war horse to lead the troops to fight in person." At most, I can remain with the Khan in one other capacity, acting as his brainstorm. Therefore, many things can only be done by Ai Yan's mother and son and Wang Yu. Is this reason sufficient? ”

Xuan Yunzi nodded, "It's indeed sufficient." ”

"You're so clever that lies are of no use to you." Yuan Zhen said, "I might as well tell you the truth today, the future of the Turkic Khanate cannot be handed over to Mo Si. He was a war maniac, and a continuous war would ruin an entire khanate. ”

"So you hope that you will be able to assist the Khan's eldest son, Mojlian Zhengzheng, to become Khan?" Xuan Yunzi asked.

"Yes." Yuan Zhen said, "This is both my wish and the Khan's wish. Do you understand? ”

Xuanyunzi nodded.

"Wang Yu is a talent, but his heart is not in Turkic. Since you can convince Wang Yu to agree to get married, there must be a way to persuade him to get the princess pregnant. Although a wife and a son are not enough to change Wang Yu's mind, it will always be a good start. Yuan Zhen said, "You don't want to send people under the fence all the time, right?" If Wang Yu can take charge of the military, it will be good for us. You tell me? ”

"You have a point." Xuan Yunzi said lightly, "But I can't call the shots about this kind of thing, I have to wait for Princess Ai Yan to come back." ”

"Absolutely."

"Why don't you go face to face and talk to Princess Aiyan?"

Yuan Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "If you were disfigured one day, would you be willing to let your sweetheart see it?" ”

"......" Xuan Yunzi was silent, and said in his heart, could it be that you really belong to Ai Yan?

Yuan Zhen had already stood up and walked out slowly, "A kind reminder, I know what you are thinking." But you'd better dispel the thoughts you shouldn't have. Because that's going to cost you your lives! ”

Xuan Yunzi's heart was secretly tight, this guy is really powerful, he has calculated everything!

"There is one more thing you must remember and tell Ayan and Krakus." Yuan Zhen paused and said, "There is no such person as Yuan Zhen in the world. I am the Khan's latest appointee, Mohe Dagan of the Valley of Desire. This is the official position of the Turkic Khanate, which is equivalent to the Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi of the Southern Kingdom. You can call me, Lust Valley! ”
