In the early years, the Golden Horde lived in pursuit of water and grass, and there was no city, and the place where the Khan was located was the royal court, which was a moving city, equivalent to the imperial capital of the Central Plains court. However, in the process of the Golden Horde's successive southward movements, under the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty, it gradually abandoned some nomadic habits and began to build cities.

By now, the King of the Golden Horde has long since ceased to live in water and grass, but in the cold and summer, also known as the four-season bowl system. Autumn and winter are cold, spring and summer are heated, the royal court is divided into four according to the southeast and northwest directions, the first month of the first month to live in the east garden, after the end of spring in mid-April, move to the north court to escape the heat, and then go to the west court from the north court in early July, when the weather turns cold, then leave the west garden, go to the south court to avoid the cold.

Now the royal court that Li Xuandu went to is the south court to avoid the cold in winter, and it is also the closest royal court to the Central Plains. The former site of the royal court that passed by before should be strictly speaking the former site of the South Court.

The structure of the four royal courts is roughly the same, although the tents are no longer inhabited, but the palace of the old khan is still called the royal tent or the golden horde, all golden, living in the middle of the royal court, the rest of the khans are stationed around the khan, guarding the khan, the periphery is Nayan and other royal court magnates, and then the periphery is the settlement of warriors, officials, craftsmen, and big merchants.

Outside the city of Nanting, it is not an endless grassland, but a dense tent, where people who are not qualified to enter the city live, mixed with fish and dragons, very chaotic, stretching for more than ten miles, can be regarded as the first barrier to defend the royal court, just like a moat made of tents.

In this case, the Golden Horde referred to the inside of the city as the inner city, and the tent area outside the city as the outer city.

The caravan can enter the inner city, but the royal court guards are required to check the identity and goods, and there are other caravans in front of the Yan family caravan, and the waiting time in line is about a day.

In fact, when entering the outer city, there were already royal cavalry to check the caravan, but the inventory of entering the inner city was stricter and more cumbersome, and the cowardly Xue army was personally responsible. According to Li Xuandu's original plan, he wanted to follow the caravan into the inner city of the royal court, but now that he had Yue Parting, he changed his mind, he planned to say goodbye to the caravan in the outer city, and then enter the inner city through the identity of Yue Parting.

However, Li Xuan didn't say goodbye without saying goodbye, and before leaving, he still said hello to Zhang Wenyu and the others.

When Li Xuandu came to see Yan Qing and Zhang Wendu, the two were planning the inspection of the cowardly Xue army tomorrow, and Yan Qing was slightly surprised by Li Xuandu's arrival, but Zhang Wenyu seemed to have expected it.

Li Xuandu said bluntly: "There is no banquet in the world, now that we have arrived at the royal court, I am not very familiar with the next things in the transaction, let's say goodbye, and when we return to Liaodong in the next day, I will invite the two of you to drink." ”

Yan Qing looked at Li Xuandu, pursed her lips, and her expression was complicated.

Along the way, she has always been suspicious and defensive towards Li Xuandu, but the caravan finally arrived at the royal court safely, without wind and rain, which made her suspicions very unreasonable.

Li Xuandu has experienced the world, and he can roughly guess Yan Qing's thoughts, and he doesn't care about her, and continues: "Yan Gongzi, we are going to go together, and it is also fate. I already know your difficulties from Brother Zhang, although I am not familiar with Mr. Li, I still have a little thin noodles with my cousin. If you encounter a difficult situation that you can't get over, you can go to Chaoyang Mansion to visit, report my name directly, and my cousin will definitely help you. ”

When Yan Qing heard this, he was very surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Wenyu saw that his young lady was a little distracted, so he could only quietly pull down her sleeves, and at the same time thanked Li Xuandu: "Thank you for the great kindness of Gongzi Qin, the Yan family will not forget each other." ”

Li Xuandu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will meet again in the future." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Leaving the caravan's station, Li Xuandu crossed a muddy road mixed with sewage between the tents and came to the place where he and Yue had agreed to part. This royal lady did not take the opportunity to escape, but the scimitar at her waist was unsheathed, and there was a little blood on the blade. And she had no fear on her face, just staring at the blood on the blade, not knowing what she was thinking.

Although this royal court lady does not have the high cultivation of calling for wind and rain, she is not a weak woman who is powerless, and if she really wants to compete in riding and archery, many royal court warriors are not her opponents.

Seeing Li Xuandu come back, she withdrew her gaze from the scimitar in her hand, and explained in a calm voice: "Whether it is the Central Plains or the grassland, women are in a weak position. A lonely woman will always attract the ill-intentioned peeps of despicable men. At this time, the women either chose to flee or submit, and I chose to use the blade in my hand to deter these vile maggots. ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "In the words of our Great Wei, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, there are such arrogant lawbreakers, and your judge is guilty of dereliction of duty." ”

Yue Libei took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off the scimitar, put it back in the scabbard, and said: "I agree with Gongzi's words, the Golden Horde and Da Wei are rotten against each other, whoever rots slower is the winner, and the winner can swallow the loser into his belly and rejuvenate himself." ”

Li Xuandu glanced at her: "How does it feel when Yan returns to the royal court?"

Yue parted and looked at the chaotic environment around her, and did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "When I came to the royal court before, I would never set foot in a place where untouchables lived. According to the rules, people here are not allowed to come within a hundred steps of me. ”

Li Xuandu had heard of a similar statement, but he just sighed: "There is no place in the world with a hundred feet of goodness." ”

While the two were talking, a group of royal court soldiers with scimitars at their waists walked towards this side, and the royal court soldiers led by them shouted in the Golden Horde language: "Who is hurting people here?"

Yue parted and raised his eyebrows, and said sharply: "Bold." ”

Li Xuan knew that when it was time for Yue to say goodbye and "show his skills", he took a step back and let Yue Parting play.

Sure enough, after Yue Li's identity was revealed, these royal court soldiers could only kneel on the ground to plead guilty, and after Yue Li's parting reprimanded a few words, he waved them away.

When they arrived at the royal court, just like when they arrived in the imperial capital, the most important thing was all kinds of powerful people, so these Golden Horde soldiers were not surprised by the identity of Yue Yue's parting, but they didn't understand why a Nayan appeared in the lowly people's settlement. However, they also know that this is not something they should know, and now the situation in the royal court is very delicate, and the old Khan has not shown up for many days, causing panic, and some people even speculate that the old Khan has died, but he is not mourned. The kings around the throne of the Khan, fighting openly and secretly, and the Nayan who are attached to the kings also have their own plans, so the royal court has changed during this period of time, and there are people dying violently every day, but most of them occur in the inner city, and at this time, the moon parting appeared in the outer city, so that they can't help but suspect that the battle between the kings and the Nayan has spread to the entire royal court, but they don't dare to delve into it, but they are afraid that they know too much and can't see the sun tomorrow.

After the soldiers of the royal court left, Li Xuandu and Yue parted and walked on the rugged path between the countless tents, and Li Xuandu asked in the official dialect of the Great Wei: "I want to attend the birthday banquet of the Xiao Yan clan, what should I do?"

Yue parted without concealment, and said bluntly: "Although nominally the Da Yan clan is the most noble woman in the entire royal court, but in fact, the Xiao Yan clan, who is favored by the old Khan, is the most noble woman, and the kings and many Nayan people want to please her, with my identity, I want to participate in her birthday banquet to celebrate her birthday, there is no problem, but if you want to bring unfamiliar faces to the birthday banquet, it is difficult to do." ”

Li Xuandu asked: "Since Na Yan is not good, then who has this qualification? Is it also Na Yan first, or is it the kings?"

Yue parted and said: "The kings have this qualification, but in terms of difficulty, Yaomu Khan is the easiest to bring people in, because he is the son of the Xiao Yan clan, how can there be a mother in the world who does not believe in her son? ”
