Chapter 978: Southbound
"Why should I go back to the Central Plains?"
Ai Yan used such a question to express his attitude.
Although it was expected, Xuan Yunzi still felt some disappointment.
"I'd love to keep you, but now it's time for you to go back." Ai Yan took Xuan Yunzi's hand and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for our mother and son. We will never forget you. β
It sounded like an innocuous clichΓ©, but Genyunzi knew she meant it. Ai Yan has always been an angular person, it can be said that she is stubborn, but she is by no means hypocritical.
At least in front of Xuan Yunzi, Ai Yan is never hypocritical.
"Xue Chuyu is also leaving." Xuan Yunzi said.
Ai Yan nodded silently, she heard Xuan Yunzi's words.
Now Ai Yan and Tun Desire Valley share the power of the Turkic Khanate, but in fact, Tun Desire Valley has a much heavier position, and more than half of the ten Qu Lu Si in the political hall are his diehards. All Ai Yan could possess was the title of Our Lady Kedun, whom the little khan respected, and a son of Yehu, who was not an adult. Wang Yu was willing to support Ai Yan, but his energy was too weak. Unless he has the opportunity to make great achievements, his situation in the Turkic Khanate will hardly be greatly improved. But now that the Turks have made peace with the Great Zhou, such opportunities will be few and far between. Even if there were, Tunyugu would not give such an opportunity to Wang Yu to execute.
Previously, Xue Chuyu incarnated as "Meng Erba" to kill Mo Si, but he was shocked, and made a special contribution to quelling the rebellion. Ai Yan wanted to take the opportunity to promote him, but unexpectedly, Lust Valley took the lead in revealing his true identity.
In the contest with Tun Desire Valley, Ai Yan has always been at a disadvantage. Now, Tun Desire Valley is going to send Ai Yan's "think tank" and Xue Chuyu away together, which is even worse.
Xuan Yunzi looked at Ai Yan with deep concern, "After we leave, your situation will become even more difficult." That's why I invite you to go south with you. β
"Thank you for your kindness. However, I have no reason to leave. Ai Yan said, "My surname is Ashina, and so is my son." β
Lust Valley's prediction was not wrong.
Xuan Yunzi did his last bit of effort, and he could be regarded as dead. She said, "Do you want me to bring him anything?" β
Ai Yan smiled indifferently, "I don't have anything to say to him." β
Xuan Yunzi was silent for a moment and sighed lightly, "After all, he is the child's father. β
"He, like many men on the prairie, sowed a seed and disappeared. We never call such a person a father. The child born has nothing to do with such a man. Ai Yan's expression and tone were calm, and he said, "So, Krakus's surname is Ashina." β
Xuan Yunzi knew that Ai Yan was not angry, she was seriously expressing her position. She did not deny that Krakus was Xue Shao's son, but she was even more convinced that his child was a descendant of the Ashina clan. This sounds contradictory, but the idea of "blood from the father" of the steppe people is not as serious as that of the Central Plains, especially since Krakus has also experienced a "god-making movement", so it is not difficult to understand.
"I still failed." Xuanyunzi sighed.
Ai Yan smiled and took her hand, "But you tried." You are a person to be admired, both for your intellect and for your courage. β
"Although it wasn't a long time here, it left so many memories." "Before that, my life was almost a blank slate, and I didn't even know what I wanted. β
"When you came, you just made up your mind to take our mother and son to the south?" Ai Yan asked.
Xuan Yunzi nodded, "I just want to do something that works for him." Pretty naΓ―ve idea, isn't it? β
"I've done something similar before." Ai Yan smiled, "It's also because of Xue Shao." β
"You mean, Krakus?"
Ai Yan nodded and said, "At that time, I actually had the opportunity to marry him, but I refused. Because I don't want my life to be as sad as the concubine of every big family. But I liked him, so I did something stupid and ridiculous. β
Xuan Yunzi smiled, "I've heard from the moon slave. β
"Moon Nu is a very righteous and simple person. She treated me like a good friend, but I took advantage of her. When I think about it, I always feel a little guilty. "But I don't regret it at all. The arrival of Krakus is the only gift from the gods to me, the greatest treasure and all the support of my life! β
Xuan Yunzi frowned, "What you want is a child?" β
"Yes." "I never wanted to get married, but I really wanted to have a child. Instead of finding a random man on the grassland to sow seeds, I might as well try my luck with a man I like. That's what I thought at the time, the idea of a virgin. It sounds particularly stupid and naΓ―ve, doesn't it? β
"The ideas of Han women and grassland women are indeed very different." Xuan Yunzi said, "Although I can't agree, I can understand your mood at that time. β
"Actually, I met him once after that." Xuan Yunzi said, "Outside Shuozhou City, at the entrance of the Jiafeng Ancient Road. He said that to me for the second time, the seven-foot body has promised the country, and it is difficult to promise Qing. β
"No matter how difficult it is Xu Qing...... Xuan Yunzi groaned lightly and said, "Besides, what else did he say?" β
Ai Yan smiled and said, "He asked me to stay." He said he would find a way to save the child. β
Xuan Yunzi was slightly surprised, "Then why didn't you agree?" β
"I can't agree to what it was. If I don't go back, Guo Yuanzhen's wife and many captives will die. My son, too, will die. Ai Yan sighed lightly and said, "That was the only time he made me feel his warmth." I remember, I kissed him at the time. β
Xuan Yunzi frowned slightly and was silent.
"I said to him, if you have the ability, you can take our mother and son back from the grassland. He agreed. Xuan Yunzi's expression was calm, "Then I started to wait, until today." β
"Now, you have a chance to go back with us!" Xuan Yunzi suddenly raised his voice.
Ai Yan smiled slightly, "But he didn't take it." β
From this sentence, Xuan Yunzi heard a deep disappointment.
"I'm not trying to defend him......" Xuan Yunzi hesitated for a moment, because she realized that she was actually defending him.
"Say it!" Ai Yan smiled, "You're my best friend. Whatever you say, I'll be willing to listen. β
"I learned from the Great Zhou envoy Tian Guidao that he has resigned." Xuan Yunzi said, "Even if he wants to pick you up in person, there is nothing he can do." β
"I'm not that superficial, I don't want a welcoming ceremony." "He's forgotten his promise to me, that's the truth. Otherwise, it won't be you who climbed up the snowy mountains to find me. β
"Maybe you're right...... Xuan Yunzi sighed lightly and said, "The Turkic trip made me understand that the most unreluctantly thing in this world is feelings. The most unreasonable thing in this world is also feelings. I've always prided myself on being smart, but it's only now that I've learned that simple. Am I ridiculously stupid? β
"Well, we're all stupid women." Ai Yan took her hand and smiled, and said, "It is said that women have needles in their hearts, but in fact, what women want is very simple. It wasn't a fixed ending, it was a real experience. I have known him for ten years, and there is no hard-working love between us, nor a promise of rotten stones, only I am alone watching and waiting. Actually, I don't blame him, because it was my wishful thinking from the beginning, and I even used pranks to trick him. Later, when I gave birth to Krakus, they could not be reunited, and it was even more torture for him. If it were an ordinary man, he would definitely hate me to death and even want to kill me. But he expressed guilt and warmth, and made a promise that has not been fulfilled so far. It's not easy, and I'm not in a position to ask for more. β
After hearing this, Xuan Yunzi was silent for a long time. Their stories are really cut, and they are still messy.
"You can go back to the south with peace of mind!" Ai Yan patted Xuan Yunzi's hand, "I will bless you from the bottom of my heart and miss you all the time!" β
"If he comes to pick you up in the future, will you be willing to go back?" Xuan Yunzi asked.
"It depends!" With a relaxed smile, Ai Yan replied casually, "Who can say well about the future?" β
Xuan Yunzi nodded silently, and said yes, the current Ai Yan is already the Holy Mother Kedun who is in charge of the real power of the Turkic Khanate, and her son is still Ye Hu. Xue Shao wants to welcome back their mother and son, but it is not a private matter, let alone a trivial matter!
A few days later, Xuan Yunzi and Xue Chuyu mixed in the ranks of Tian Guidao's envoys and left the tent with him. From beginning to end, the true identities of the two of them have not been officially revealed to the "public".
In the southbound car, Xuan Yunzi lifted the window and looked at the tooth tent that was gradually moving away behind him.
The past is like a dream.
"I'm going back."
"As a loser."
"Xue Shao, have you ever thought about what the reunion with me will be like?"
Ayan and Krakus stood on a hill and watched them walk away.
Krakus cried sadly, "Mother, why are they leaving?" β
"Because they don't belong here." Ai Yan stroked his son's head and said softly.
"I can't see the teacher anymore, can I?" "And Moneba, who taught me how to ride a horse and taught me archery, and his martial arts are the best in the world!" β
"Child, you are the Ye Hu of the Turks, the warrior of the steppe. Why are you crying? Ai Yan asked softly.
"I don't know...... I just want to cry! Krakus cried even harder, shaking his head vigorously, "I don't want them to leave!" I don't want it, I don't want it!! β
Ai Yan sighed softly, and said in her heart that I want to be like you and cry for a good time. I want to be like you and keep them in the voice......
