Tian Guidao sent the Mobei Turks for the second time, and last time he brought the empress to the Gu Lulu. This time, he came to seal the son of the Bone Boss on behalf of the empress.

Less than a year apart, the grassland in Mobei has changed its face, which makes Tian Guidao feel a lot of emotion.

The Great Zhou and the Tibetans could go to war at any time, and stabilizing the north became the current priority of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Tian Guidao knew that the task of his trip was arduous and important, but he also carried another secret order: to bring Xuanyunzi back to China.

When he received this task, Tian Guidao was very surprised, because he had already been to Yudu Jinshan once, and he didn't even know the news that Xuanyunzi was in the tooth tent. So, how did the empress know about the palace in the palace?

Tian Guidao couldn't help but think of Xuan Yunzi and Xue Shao's engagement a few years ago. Although the incident did not cause a stir at that time, it was also shocking. At that time, people learned that Xuanyunzi was the daughter of the martial arts. What's even more surprising is that the empress, who was still the queen mother at the time, actually wanted Xue Shao to marry two wives. Throughout the ages, it seems that only the legendary female Empress Ying'e in ancient times married Emperor Shun as his wife at the same time. So at the time, this incident caused a blockbuster controversy.

However, in the last year or two, the talk of "double wife" has gradually disappeared. The main thing is that the current etiquette and dogma are not very strict, and even the ascension of a woman to the throne as the emperor is silently accepted by everyone, and a man of Xue Shao's level marries an extra wife, what kind of earth-shattering news can it be counted? Besides, no one thinks that Xuan Yunzi can really be on an equal footing with Princess Taiping. The so-called "main wife" in the second room is just a concubine who was forcibly put on a glamorous coat by the empress.

Of course, the main reason is that Xuan Yunzi has disappeared from the public eye for a long time. Her and Xue Shao's marriage dates have long passed the time limit. People felt that the brown marriage was likely to fall through, so they gradually lost interest in discussing it.

But now the empress actually wants to find Xuanyunzi again, which makes Tian Guidao have to think about it a few more times in his heart: Now that Xue Shao has resigned and temporarily left the court, does the empress want to use Xue Shao again through marriage? Or is it that Xue Shao's resignation was because the contradiction between him and the sons and nephews of the Wu family was getting deeper and deeper, and the sons and nephews of the Wu family were suppressed too hard by Xue Shao, which caused the empress to be uneasy? Now to find Xuanyunzi, is it to ease the contradiction between Xue Shao and the martial family?

Tian Guidao thought a lot about all this, but he couldn't think clearly.

Although Tian Guidao can be regarded as an important minister of the dynasty, there is still a big gap between the level of the empress and Xue Shao. Their affairs, Tian Guidao can't figure out thoroughly. He only knew one thing, the task of the empress's "secret order" was even more important than that of the seal. At the moment, Xuanyunzi is very important to the empress, and he must find a way to bring her back intact.

When Tian Guidao arrived at Yujin Mountain, the young Turkic Khan Mo Jianlian, accompanied by Ai Yan and Shibu Qu Lusi, held a grand ceremony to welcome him, an envoy from the Celestial Empire. Tian Guidao still hasn't been able to see Tun Desire Valley. But Turkic officials privately told Tian Guidao that the valley had been burned by the fire and was very serious. With his current image, he is not suitable to attend such an occasion. After the ceremony, Tunyu Valley will receive the envoy separately.

Tian Guidao didn't ask any more questions, and settled down to organize the "sealing ceremony" first.

At this time, in a private tent in the Valley of Desire.

Compared to the noisy and lively crowds outside the tent, it seems unusually quiet and even a little deserted. Lust Valley never lets idlers enter his private tent, even his henchmen.

But today, two people came in.

Xuan Yunzi, who was dressed as a slave girl, and Xue Chuyu, who smelled of sheep. With the addition of Lust Valley, there are only three people in the tent.

Although he slashed Mo Si with a knife in front of the battle, "Moneba" was still the sheep slave. It's not that Lust Valley and Little Khan don't know heroes and talents, but they have already figured out the true origin of Mengeba and the true identity of Xuanyunzi.

Paper, after all, still can't contain the fire.

"You may be seated." Tunyugu personally poured a glass of milk wine for each of them and handed it to them.

Xuan Yunzi and Xue Chuyu both sat down. But he didn't reach for the wine.

"Poisoning you now will not do me or the Khanate any good." Lust Valley said.

Xuan Yunzi and Xue Chuyu still didn't move, and they both knew in their hearts that it was time for a showdown.

"Wine, in fact, is really good wine. But you are understandably wary of me. Lust Valley's voice was hard to hear, but it was not difficult to hear that he was very calm and confident at the moment, and he said: "Both of you are smart people who have seen the world. You should be able to guess what I did with the two of you in private. ”

At this moment, Xue Chuyu is no longer the dumb sheep slave who cowered. He sat up straight without squinting, as if he was sitting in Xue Shao's tent discussing military affairs. Now he is like a murderous knife hidden deep in the scabbard. As long as Xuan Yunzi made a sound, he would not hesitate to take the life of the Desire Valley in front of him.

From the day Gu Lulu and Mo Si died, Xuan Yunzi knew that the day in front of him would come sooner or later. So now she was calm and said, "These are two glasses of resignation? ”

"I like to deal with smart people." Tun Desire Valley said, "Tian Guidao is here, I hope you will return to China with him." ”

A trace of throbbing flashed in Xue Chuyu's eyes, but he didn't make a sound and still sat quietly. Although he wants to return to the country every moment and wants to go home, but at the moment, he must first see how Xuan Yunzi decides.

Xuan Yunzi said: "Is it okay for you to decide privately without consulting with Princess Aiyan?" ”

"There are some things that I have to decide." "It's not that I don't respect Princess Aiyan. In the handling of this matter, it is difficult for her to put aside her personal emotional factors and make an objective and correct judgment. This will be detrimental to the khanate. ”

"How bad?" Xuan Yunzi asked calmly.

Tun Desire Valley was silent for a moment and said: "The Great Zhou is already the world of the Empress Wu's family, and you are the empress's relatives, or the wife of Xue Shao, the Duke of Zhao. A big Buddha like you, the small Yudu Jinshan can't be offered. If I don't take the initiative to send you back today, tomorrow you may be attacked by the wrath of the Empress and Xue Shao, or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think I'm right? ”

Ai Yan was silent.

"As for you." Tun Desire Valley turned his mask to Xue Chuyu and said, "In other words, in the past, how many corpses of grassland people were left in the southern country, we have as many reasons as there are to kill you." But now, as many people as there are still living people on the grassland, we have as many reasons as to send you back respectfully. I don't think I need to explain the reasoning. ”

Xue Chuyu also didn't say a word. He, like Ai Yan, knew in his heart that Lust Valley's words were very reasonable.

War and peace are like twins. No matter how much pain and hatred war has brought to people, how precious and difficult peace will be.

"I admire your sanity and your ability to govern the country." Xuan Yunzi said, "But right now, I don't want to leave yet. ”

"Why?" Lust Valley asked.

"Because Princess Aiyan needs me. Yehu Kracus needs me too. Xuan Yunzi replied.

"People have to make trade-offs in life." Tun Lust Valley said, "Da Zhou needs you right now. The Empress and Xue Shao need you too. Maintaining peace between the two countries is all the more necessary for you. ”

"Isn't what you want to do more than anything more than to kill us?" Xuan Yunzi asked.

Tun Desire Gu laughed twice, his voice was really ugly, but his tone was very calm, "No one hates Xue Shao more than me, because Xue Shao almost ruined everything for me." As much as I hate him, I want to kill you. But now and now I must preserve this hard-won peace. From the general national focus to the subtle details, I don't want any mistakes to be missed. This includes sending back your two Buddhas as soon as possible. Because you are not only important to Xue Shao, but also to the Empress and Great Zhou. ”

"What about Wang Yu and Ai Yan?" Xuanyunzi paused, "And Krakus?" ”

"They're different from you." Tun Desire Valley said, "Da Zhou has cut off Wang Yu's way back. As for Ai Yan and her son, they never belonged to Da Zhou. Even if I were willing to send them back with me, they wouldn't. Do you believe it or not? ”

Of course Xuan Yunzi believed it. Ai Yan has never thought of returning to the Central Plains, and the practical word "Hui" is inaccurate, whether it is in terms of blood, origin, and experience, she does not belong to the Central Plains.

At this time, Xue Chuyu, who had been silent, spoke: "I want to take Wang Yu and Krakus back." ”

"Why?" Tunyugu asked calmly.

"Wang Yu must go back and give an explanation to the imperial court." Xue Chuyu said, "Krakus is his son. ”

"It is true that Wang Yu was a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but now that the Tang Dynasty has fallen, the Great Zhou has stripped him of his official position and belittled his family. He was already the head of the Turkic Khanate, and had married a princess and had a son, and had a new family. What is the point of taking him back except to put him to the double judgment of law and morality, and finally to kill him, and bring a new family to ruin? "As for Krakus, the steppe people have always had a tradition of 'knowing only their mothers but not their fathers'. His surname is Ashina, and he is the Ye Hu of the Turkic Khanate, and he is extremely noble above ten thousand people under one person. You brought him back to Nan just so that he could recognize Xue Shao, and at that time, Krakus would only be an illegitimate son of the Xue family at most, and he would be no different from a slave. In this way, you will not only harm Krakus, but also separate the mother and son who depend on each other. Is this the loyalty and kindness you seek? ”

Xue Chuyu was speechless, so he had to look at Xuan Yunzi. The expression seemed to say: You are eloquent, you tell him!

"I'm going back and discussing it with Princess Aiyan." Xuan Yunzi said.

"Yes. But quickly. Tunyugu said, "Tian Guidao is in the tooth tent, you can go to see him at any time." From him, you might be able to ask you everything you want to know. ”
