The four seas set the gap between monarchs and ministers
Agula and Xiaodie fled with Qiyan Gegen's team, but it was not Sukhbaru who found them day by day, but thousands of warriors led by Khan Eri of Tuba.
The tired plow-supporting warriors were powerless to parry, but Gegen, who used to be a solitary minister, fled with a large group of men, ignoring the Qiyan brothers and sisters. Fortunately, there was a loyal warrior arranged by Sukhbaru in the team, who led hundreds of cavalry to protect Agula and Xiaodie desperately broke through the encirclement and fled south.
The days of exile lasted like this for more than half a year. The rejuvenation of the grassland and the recovery of all things was a good season for grazing, but Agula and the others had already eaten the grass roots for a few days. While resting, Agula often wondered: Has my brother been born safely? Are father and mother okay
"Brother, I'm hungry."
Xiaodie was aggrieved in Agula's arms, looked up at her brother and asked, "When will my father and mother pick us up?"
Agula patted Xiaodie's back and coaxed softly, "It's almost there."
When Buqin heard what the little princess said, he stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Agula: "Prince, I'm afraid it won't last long like this, why don't I slaughter my horse!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Bu Qin, and he himself lowered his head slightly as if he was bearing the weight of a thousand jins.
Horses are not only the legs of the prairie people, but also their unswerving partner.
Agula got up and helped Buqin from the ground: "Uncle Buqin, what Xiaodie said was just a child's words, don't take it seriously, we prairie people can't kill horses even if they starve to death!"
Buqin glanced at Agula gratefully, and looked at the haggard faces of the two children, and a sympathy surged in his heart. The Great Khan has yet to come to Tuba and the southerners are constantly chasing troops, I'm afraid...
"Prince, where are we going next?"
Agula thought for a while and replied, "Uncle Buqin, why don't we continue to go south."
"South? But it's almost at the border of the grassland, further south?"
"Yes, let's go to Luoshui to rest for a while."
Bu Qin frowned and quickly figured it out: "I see, the prince is so smart."
For more than ten days after that, I did not encounter the enemy's pursuit, but when everyone was relieved, they encountered the army of the Nanren!
At this time, Agura's escort team was already less than a hundred cavalry and tired, and the enemy's team was neatly arranged, and everyone was wearing silver armor.
Bu Qin, who had experienced hundreds of battles, looked at the endless team of the Southerners, and felt a burst of despair.
He immediately ordered: "Temur, you take half of the people to escort the princess to the north, and I will take the rest to escort the prince to continue to the south!" At this time, all he could do was to desperately protect the blood of the sweat. .
"Brother, I don't want to be separated from you!"
Bu Qinle looked at Agula with the reins and said anxiously: "Prince! There may still be a chance to run separately, we can only obey the arrangements of the gods!"
Agula clenched her fists and nodded with red eyes: "Uncle Buqin, let's go."
"Brother!" Kocho's voice changed from behind. Agula closed her eyes and blocked the hot tears.
The opponent's goal is himself, and only by separating Xiaodie can he have a chance to escape! Liu Huo felt the master's heart whine and ran wildly.
What Agula didn't know was that the overall situation of the grassland had been decided at this time, and the Wei army was transporting materials for fortification.
The leader of the general, Ding Yi, was the brother-in-law of the imperial lieutenant. He narrowed his eyes when he heard the movement: from a distance, he saw Liu Huo running at the front of the team.
"Good horse!"
"Come here."
"The end is here!"
"Bring a group of people to stop that young man. Next month will be the 40th birthday of the Taiwei. The old man will like this red horse."
"Yes!"
Ding Yi waited for a long time to see the report and sent the soldiers around him to investigate. After a stick of incense, the soldier Pegasus reported: "Report!! General, more than a dozen of our brothers were killed!"
Ding Yi was furious: "How dare the bereaved barbarians be so arrogant? The hussar camp will come with me and the others will stand by!"
"Yes."
Ding Yi personally led the pursuit of 800 strong troops, and the mounts of Bu Qin and others fell down one after another and were worn by the pursuers. Only Agula escaped with the help of the horse.
Ding Yi reluctantly reined in his horse and looked at his subordinates and exclaimed, "Look, General! There are bloodstains."
Ding Yi rolled over and dismounted, dipped his fingers into the "blood beads" and sniffed them under his nose: "This is not blood."
"Then this is?"
A flash of enthusiasm flashed in Ding Yi's eyes: "I didn't expect that the young man was riding the legendary sweaty BMW, so he mounted the horse and continued to chase!"
After a few days of fatigue and half a day of running wild, Rao was exhausted and panting, and the red sweat flowed into strands.
Agula and Liuhuo had the same heart, knowing that it had already reached its limit, but stubbornly refused to stop, and her eyes were wet again.
There was a rumbling sound of running water from the front, and behind them were the chasing soldiers getting closer and closer. Agura patted Liu Huo's neck and the latter let out a groan and carried Agura towards Luoshui.
One person and one horse were forced to a cliff, with the roaring Tianhe in front of him and the aggressive pursuers behind him. As soon as Ding Yi raised his hand, the team slowed down. He looked at the sweaty horse with greedy eyes: inferior barbarians are not qualified to own such a magnificent horse.
Agula straightened her tired body and stroked the flaming mane in an attempt to soothe the sadness in its heart, and she touched the horn that Bayin had given her.
"Farewell, father and mother, Xiaodie and Anda."
Liuhuo screamed and followed the master's wishes, and resolutely jumped off the cliff...
The other end of the moat.
The general Lu Quan and the Tuba khan went to Beijing to face the Holy Land. He heard that the territory on the north bank of Luoshui had been returned to the Wei state, and the Nangong made Longxin very happy.
He got up and walked down the royal steps and came to Lu Quan to help him up: "Brother has worked hard for the country and the people, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Rang looked at Erihe, who was kneeling on one knee: "Who is this?"
"Oh, he is the Tuba Khan mentioned earlier by the minister. This time our army can drive straight in thanks to the map he provided."
Nangong Rang stroked his beard: "Look at the seat!"
"Here."
After returning to the imperial case, Nangong Rang couldn't wait to open the file, which contained a relatively crude map of the North, with the cattle, sheep, horses, and prisoners captured in this battle.
Nangong asked Dayue to say to Erihe: "Aiqing will remember the first merit in this battle. First, go to the post house to rest for a while, and then give the reward in the future."
Erihe frowned after listening to the soldier's translation, but still put his fists to his chest, bowed, and walked out of the hall with the servant. Nangong asked the three provinces to submit a letter to the palace with the chiefs of the six departments, and ordered several people to discuss the division of the state capital, and draft a report on the candidate for the prefect.
"Lu Aiqing has been exhausted by boat and car all the way, so let's go back to the house to rest first. Tomorrow's celebration banquet, I specially allow you to bring your wife and son with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Quan left, but Nangong Rang slowly withdrew his smile and sat on the dragon chair without moving. The chief servant behind him said softly, "Your Majesty, the servant will help you to go back to rest. After a few days of reviewing the memorials until the fourth watch, the dragon's body is important."
Lu Quan let out a long sigh and rubbed his eyebrows wearily.
"Does your Majesty have something on your mind?"
"Forty-nine, you said this reward... How should I give it?"
Sijiu was the son of Nangong Mansion and grew up with Nangong Rang. Originally, it was cultivated according to the book boy, but in the forty-nine hits without a book, he felt sleepy when he saw the book, and finally only became a servant. Sijiu is sincere and loyal. After Nangong Rang ascended the throne, he wanted to send a foreign official to him, but who knew that Si Jiu had swung a knife from the palace and vowed to follow Nangong Rang for the rest of his life.
Nangong Rang Dawei was moved to make Sijiu the head of the inner court, and his daily food and clothing expenses had to be handled by Sijiu. After all, his throne was not right. When he first ascended the throne, it was quite turbulent and dangerous for a while. The palace that burned the last emperor to death is still dark and stern.
"Go back to Your Majesty, this servant doesn't understand." Si Jiu replied honestly.
Nangong Rang chuckled, Xu Shi was the only "confidant" beside him who patiently explained: "Lu Quan is now a high-ranking lieutenant, and he holds half a military talisman to control half of the world's troops; More than half of the generals and the generals in various places are his disciples. This time, the pacification of the northern kingdom and the expansion of half of our Wei kingdom is another extraordinary feat, I..." Nangong was dazed for a while.
Nangong Rang and Lu Quan are sworn brothers. If it wasn't for Lu Quan's support at the beginning, he Nangong Rang a literati would never have the possibility to reach the top. However, this gratitude gradually turned into worry and fear with the change of the position of the two.
Sijiu thought for a while, then replied humbly, "The slave still doesn't understand."
Nangong smiled helplessly, but he thought contradictingly in his heart: If Si Jiu really understood, would he still say it easily
The next day at the palace banquet, all the officials of the third rank and above were present, and Nangong Rang looked around for a week. Nine out of ten of the military officers who sat below were Lu Quan’s disciples.
Before the banquet, Nangong Rang first ordered someone to read Lu Quan's achievements this time, and at the end, he raised a wine bottle and toasted Lu Quan, and said sincerely, "Lu Aiqing has levelled the world on horseback.
Lu Quan picked up the wine bottle and bowed away: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them drank a cup together, and Nangong Rang asked again, "Wife and son, can you come with me?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the two dogs are young. This time, Your Majesty's will to bring them into the palace to see the world. I am afraid that I will be disrespectful in front of others and will accompany Zhuojing to the last seat."
"Hey, Aiqing is too modest, please bring Mrs.-in-law and my two nephews here."
The inner servant took orders, and after a while, a plump woman followed by a pair of young men entered the hall.
The Lu family brothers don't look like the main character, but they have exactly the same appearance - they are actually a pair of twins!
Nangong Rang and Lu Quan knew about it since childhood, and those who didn't know it all showed surprise.
Mrs. Lu paid tribute to Mrs. Ding: "My concubine, Mrs. Ding, see your majesty."
"Lu Boyan, Lu Zhongxing sees the emperor."
"Mrs-in-law and two nephews, please get up quickly. Come on, let's put another case on the side of the Taiwei's case."
"Here."
Hearing the names of the two children, many officials couldn't help but murmured.
The etiquette of the ancestors is the foundation of the family, so the twins have always been regarded as an ominous omen for the heirs of cholera. If it is a concubine, it is better to say, but the direct son of the big family will never allow twins to coexist. The main family will choose a place before the baby's full moon, not to mention that Lu 'Bo'yan's name is clearly the eldest son.
Lu Quan's face was a bit ugly, because Nangong made the presence of a bad attack, but he cleared his throat heavily and it was much quieter.
Nangong Rang seemed to be unaware, but just smiled and talked to Lu Quan's family.
