That night, the eldest prince took his personal accomplices and killed all the sons and loyal servants of the other brothers with a knife, and the women became his concubines.
Howling and screaming resounded across the river, and the snow on the ground was full of blood, turning bright red.
By the third day, the camp still had a strong smell of blood.
Yelu Khan was in a drowsy state, and the remaining clan elders of the tribe did not come forward to prevent the eldest prince from slaughtering them.
Yaoying's tent was surrounded by the most brave knights of Ye Lu's tribe from morning to night, and Xie Qing guarded her almost every step of the way.
On the fourth day, the personal soldiers suddenly entered the tent in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Princess, the people of Ye Lu's tribe are going to kill our horse!"
When Yaoying got married, she brought a hundred horses from Dawei, one of which was the Wusun horse that Li Zhongqian gave her back then. After arriving at Yelu, her horse was taken care of by Yelu's herdsmen and her personal soldiers.
Xie Qingteng stood up abruptly: "I'll go take a look."
Yaoying also stood up: "You go to stop those people, I'll find the eldest prince."
The one who gave the order was the eldest prince, and only by stopping the eldest prince could she save her horse.
Xie Qing thought for a while, and felt uneasy, so he asked the other soldiers to go to the horse pen, followed Yaoying by himself, and accompany her to find the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was drinking in his tent, and the slave girl went in to report. He put down the wine bowl and got up with a big smile to greet him.
Yaoying entered the tent and immediately reprimanded with a cold face: "Did Ye Lu's clan forget the covenant with me? If the eldest prince doesn't want to keep his promise, he will send me back to the Central Plains! I am the dignified princess of Dawei, Ye Lu clan. The married Ketun, the eldest prince insults me like this, so you are not afraid of the great Wei sending troops to attack?"
The eldest prince looked surprised, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "The princess misunderstood, my Ye Lu tribe admires the Central Plains Dynasty, how can you not believe what you say?"
After speaking for a while, he looked at Yaoying carefully from top to bottom, his eyes wandering back and forth on her like a knife.
"Princess, rest assured, according to our customs, even if my father Khan dies unfortunately, I will keep my promise to the Great Wei. With a new Khan, the princess is still the most honorable Ketun in the Yelu tribe."
He said meaningfully: "I will take good care of the princess on behalf of father Khan."
Yaoying lowered her eyelashes, her body trembled, as if she did not dare to face the naked eyes of the eldest prince, her pale hands tightly clenched her sleeves.
The eldest prince had a panoramic view of the state of terror she tried so hard to conceal, as if there were hundreds of cat paws scratching in his heart, he couldn't help but leaned closer and snorted deeply.
The Han women were indeed different from those women in the tribe who were covered in the smell of horses. They were soft and soft, snow-white and tender, with a seductive fragrance on their bodies.
Better than the sweetest cheese.
With a look of intoxication on his face, the eldest prince took another step forward, reaching out to hug Yaoying.
Yaoying retreated in fright, and her body trembled even more: "Prince, we people in the Central Plains attach great importance to etiquette, if something goes wrong with Khan, I need to write to the court and wait for the court to issue an edict before I can follow the customs of your ministry. Otherwise, I'd rather die than be humiliated!"
She raised her head, tears in her eyes, spring ripples.
The beauty was reluctant to show weakness, but every movement and every look in her eyes showed how scared and helpless she was at the moment. Facing this sobbing face, the eldest prince couldn't help but soften his heart.
This stunning beauty will be his sooner or later.
The eldest prince smiled playfully and said, "I'll ask someone to write a letter, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it."
Yaoying was silent for a while, and said with a straight face: "Why did the eldest prince order to kill the horses I brought? Those good horses are my makeup and the property of the Yelu clan, and they were prepared by me for the warriors of the Yelu clan. one's gift."
The corners of the eldest prince's mouth twitched: "Since it is the princess' makeup, naturally it cannot be killed."
He raised his voice to call for his entourage to enter the tent, and ordered him to release Yaoying's horse.
"The princess is made of water. It's too late for me to cherish it. How can I let the princess be wronged?"
Yaoying's shoulders trembled slightly and she turned to go out.
Xie Qing followed behind her.
Back at her tent, Yaoying raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Xie Qing said softly, "Princess, you have been wronged."
Yaoying shook her head to indicate that she was fine, sat cross-legged on the felt blanket, and lowered her voice: "It seems that the eldest prince will not kill Yelu Khan immediately, he agrees with the alliance between Yelu Khan and Wei Chao."
After some testing just now, she can confirm that the eldest prince will not tear up the covenant. As long as the eldest prince still cares about Wei Chao, she is still safe.
"But I always feel uneasy..."
Yaoying shuddered when she thought of Bie Mutie's golden pupils.
The eldest prince was so arrogant that he even dared to snatch the caravan of Tamoraka. He didn’t seem like someone who could endure an assassination plan for half a year. From that night’s wedding, the other princes responded hastily, and the clan elders were wise enough to protect themselves and the elders. Judging from the prince's calm and vicious methods, the eldest prince must have prepared for a long time.
In less than three days, he had swept away all those who opposed him in the tribe.
Not a single fish slipped through the net.
How can it be so meticulous if it is not carefully planned
"Other adult princes are dead, including the Khan's two adopted sons... Bie Mutie was highly valued by the Khan, but he was safe and sound, and became the eldest prince's right-hand man."
"Everyone is trapped in the camp, only the eldest prince's cronies can come and go." Yaoying murmured, "I suspect that Bie Mutie is the real person behind the scenes."
Biemu Tie didn't show up for the past two days, but she felt that everything that happened in the tribe was inseparable from him.
Xie Qing was also deeply impressed by Bie Mu Tie. The alien man was tall and strong, with long muscles and sharp eyes like a falcon. At first glance, he knew that he was a master at riding and archery. In several battles in which Li Xuanzhen led his troops to recapture Liangzhou, Bie Mutie showed his heroism, and Li De also rewarded him with a treasured bow.
He asked doubtfully, "Why did Bie Mutie betray the khans who valued him and instead assist the small-minded eldest prince? Isn't he afraid that the eldest prince will kill him when he succeeds?"
Yaoying's hands trembled slightly, and a previous suspicion slowly came to her mind.
I was only suspicious before, but now it seems that it is very likely that eight|nine are inseparable from ten.
Unexpectedly, she would meet the evil spirit who kills without blinking in the Ye Lu Department.
Yelu Khan is not terrible, she can barely cope with the eldest prince, but in the face of Biemutie, she has no chance of winning, she just wants to avoid it as much as possible.
But avoiding it doesn't mean she's safe.
Yaoying pursed her lips, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and called in her personal soldiers who knew a little about medical skills, and led them to Yelu Khan's tooth tent.
"Khan is seriously ill, and I, as Ketun, should take care of Khan to the best of my heart."
Tully translated her words into the tribe's language.
The warriors in front of the tooth tent looked at each other, and sent someone to report to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince just started to have lust, and he was hugging the Hu girl to have fun. Hearing the words, he rubbed the Hu girl in his arms and said with a smile: "Princess is so righteous, it is the blessing of my Yelu Ministry, so please take good care of the princess. My father Khan."
The old man will not live for a few days, the princess wants to take care of the old man, let her take care of it, just to let the princess watch the old man die, so that she can completely surrender to him.
The eldest prince felt even more itchy when he thought of the charming and charming charm of Princess Wenzhao, who had tears in her eyelashes and raised her little face to look at herself.
Hu Nu's cry came from the tent.
There was a strange sour smell of mutton fat and spirits mixed in Yelu Khan's tooth tent. Yaoying walked into the tent and was so choked that she could barely lift her head.
Several Hu girls were standing in front of the bed, and when they saw Yaoying, they exchanged a surprised look.
Yaoying motioned for the soldiers to step forward to check Yelu Khan's pulse, took the felt handkerchief from Hu Nu's hand, and naturally sat beside the couch.
The Hu girls hesitated for a moment, then retreated respectfully.
Yelu Khan was lying between the felt blankets, his face was pale and his breathing was weak.
Yao Ying had long expected this, Ye Lu Khan must be helpless, otherwise the eldest prince would not dare to put her in the tooth tent.
She was still sitting beside the couch, gradually getting used to the smell in the tent.
She stayed at night and didn't leave, there were voices coming from outside the tent, and the eldest prince and Bie Mutie entered the tent one after the other.
The eldest prince glanced at Yaoying, didn't care, turned his head and talked to Bie Mu Tie.
Yaoying's eyes are lowered, her attitude is gentle and submissive.
Biemu Tie stared at her for a while with his light yellow eyes, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said something to the eldest prince in nonsense.
The eldest prince listened, looked at Yaoying with wicked eyes, and replied in nonsense.
Yaoying was motionless.
Tully, who was beside her, changed her face and trembled.
The eldest prince kicked Tali with his leg and shouted, "Bitch! Why didn't you tell the princess what I said?"
Talise shrank twice and hid behind Yaoying, not daring to make a sound.
The eldest prince looked at Yaoying's slightly trembling hands, laughed a few times, turned and left the tent.
Do not wood post also followed out.
Before turning around, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like electricity, and he turned back and forth on Yaoying.
Yaoying turned her back to him and lowered her head to comfort Tali, her palms dripping with sweat.
After a while, the tent door was gently closed, and don't leave the wooden post.
Yaoying asked Tali in a low voice, "What did the eldest prince say just now?"
Tully whispered, "The eldest prince said something vulgar and disrespectful."
The eldest prince said that he would tear off the princess' dress in front of all the Wei Dynasty soldiers, but she did not dare to translate it to the princess.
Yaoying was silent for a long while, tears streaming down her face, she crouched beside Yelu Khan's couch, and sobbed softly.
"I can guess even if you don't say it...they are barbarians outside the Great Wall...what good things can they say?"
"I hate Li Xuanzhen! He's so cruel! I am the dignified princess of Wei, with golden branches and jade leaves, living in this place outside the Great Wall, to be with these barbarians... Khan won't live long... What should I do in the future... "
She cried for a long time.
Tali was at a loss, wringed out her veil to wipe away Yaoying's tears, and gently persuaded her to stop crying.
The bitter northwest wind was blowing, and the figures outside the tent swayed.
Yaoying lowered her head to wipe her tears, her eyes were red from crying, but her eyes were clear and calm.
In the following days, Yaoying guarded Yelu Khan every day, and the eldest prince and Bie Mutie occasionally brought the clan elders to take a look.
Yelu Khan's complexion was getting worse day by day, and after more than ten days, he finally swallowed.
In the middle of the night, Xie Qing told Yaoying that after Khan died, Bie Mutie left the camp with a few followers and did not know where to go.
The guess was confirmed, and Yaoying's heart was beating wildly.
Bumu Tie is really not an ordinary person.
According to the custom of the Yelu tribe, the clansmen will hold a cremation for the dead khan, wrap the khan in white cloth, lift it on a high platform, and burn it with fire, so that the soul of the khan can return to the embrace of the Zoroastrian god.
The next day, when night fell, the men and women of the tribe gathered in the square to pay their respects to Yelu Khan's remains and to see him off.
Under the cold moonlight, the tribesmen sang sad lamentations.
The eldest prince was impatient, he rushed into Yaoying's tent, and reached out his hand to tear her clothes: "From today, I am the new khan, and tonight is my wedding with the princess, no one is allowed to come in to disturb her! "
Xie Qing immediately drew his knife and stood in front of Yaoying.
The eldest prince hugged and frowned, grinning: "Why, the princess doesn't want to?"
Yao Ying, dressed in the dress of a Ye Lu family woman, bowed down to the eldest prince, "Please forgive me, the eldest prince, tonight is the funeral of the old khan, please allow me to send the old khan for the last time, otherwise I feel Uneasy, unable to serve the big prince wholeheartedly."
She lowered her voice, her tone was soft, and the half of her neck exposed between her collar and gown was as soft and white as jade, "Tomorrow, the eldest prince will be my khan."
With this soft and gentle tone, the eldest prince's body immediately froze in half, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Forget it! Go!"
Yaoying stood up, stepped out of the tent without looking back, and came to the square where the crowd gathered.
The fire was raging in the field. People knelt in front of the bonfire, some wept softly, some cried loudly, some sat together drinking in twos and threes to keep out the cold, and some stared numbly at the corpse of the old khan being melted in the fire. for soot.
Yaoying crossed the crowd and walked to the front of the earth platform step by step.
Her hair is braided, she wears a flower crown, the braids are covered with pearls and jade, the necklaces around her neck are low, and the waist is tied with a colorful curtain. She wears a splendid robe with small sleeves that only Codon can wear. the goddess.
Everyone stopped crying and looked up at her in unison.
Yaoying stood on the soil platform, facing the crowd, and felt that there were hundreds of pairs of unfamiliar eyes staring at her at the moment.
Tully stood beside her, clearing her throat.
Yaoying waved her hand, looked around, and said slowly: "Khan told me before his death that the Yelu tribe is the descendant of the god wolf, and the blood of the god wolf is surging in the body of every Yelu tribe warrior."
The men and women of Ye Lu's group below the stage looked at her in surprise.
The princess articulates clearly and her voice is clear and crisp. What she speaks is not Chinese that they cannot understand, but clearly the language of their Yelu tribe!
Tali also looked at Yaoying in disbelief: the princess can actually speak nonsense!
Yaoying looked calm and looked at the saddened stranger in front of the fire: "My husband Yeluhazhu is a brave warrior. He left his parents with his clan entourage at the age of twelve to lead the army to fight for his territory. He once led you to defeat all invincible enemies, found rich land for you, and captured countless cattle and sheep. He protected you and nurtured you. He was the son of the wolf, a heroic father, and a wise khan. "
She glanced at the distance, where the eldest prince and his entourage hadn't noticed yet.
"And you..." Yaoying's tone suddenly became ironic, her eyes swept across the faces of the numb tribal warriors, "You are so cowardly! The eldest prince Fuman brutally killed his brother and betrayed his father. , slaughtering your clansmen, you are hiding aside like docile lambs, and you don’t pay attention, you have tainted the blood of the god wolf and brought shame to the spirit of the Khan in the sky!”
There was still water-like silence in the dark crowd.
The young and old men and women of Ye Lu's tribe were motionless, staring at Yaoying blankly.
The eldest prince's entourage was furious and turned back to the tent, ready to report to the eldest prince, but was stopped by others.
Yaoying stood in front of the fire, standing under the silvery moonlight, welcoming everyone's silent gaze, speeding up her speech, and said loudly: "The spirit of the Khan in the sky is looking at us! I, Princess Wenzhao of Great Wei, Ye Lu Bu Ketun, I will avenge the Khan with my own hands and pay homage to the Khan's soul with the blood of the traitor!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest prince's entourage had already rushed towards her through the crowd. She immediately turned around and jumped off the platform. Xie Qing, who was hiding in the crowd, jumped up, picked her up, and a few evaded the pursuit of the entourage. .
"Catch her!"
More and more Yelu warriors chased after them.
Xie Qing hugged Yaoying and ran very fast. Yaoying took out a whistle from her sleeve and blew it.
A sharp whistle came from the camp, and suddenly there were several sharp sounds piercing the air around the silent camp. Several silver bright spots suddenly flashed in the dark night sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, sending out bursts of terrifying strange howls. sound, slammed into the camp.
The Yelu tribesmen had never seen such a terrifying scene, and they were all stunned, staring at the falling meteors.
Cen Ji's sky seemed to be torn in half by a pair of invisible hands, and the bright spots with bright silver tails roared down one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the flames blazed.
The tents suddenly burst into flames, and bright yellow flames rose into the sky.
The warrior who was chasing Yaoying stopped with a look of panic.
There was a shrill cry from the sluggish crowd: "God's punishment! God's punishment! This is the god's punishment from the Khan's spirit in the sky!"
The Yelu tribe's spirits were scattered, and they got up and wanted to escape, but their feet were weak and they couldn't move.
"God bless the wolf! Zoroastrian is above!"
"I'm not from Fuman!"
They knelt on the ground, weeping, trembling, and begging for mercy on their knees.
The whole camp was in chaos.
The eldest prince, who was drinking in the tent, finally realized that something was wrong, rushed out of the tent, saw the bright spots in the sky, opened his eyes wide, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"God's punishment! Prince, this is God's punishment!"
"Khan appeared!"
The eldest prince's face was hideous, hiding his fear, he drew his sword and slashed a few followers who turned around and fled, and said angrily, "Don't be afraid, this is sorcery!"
He rushed to the square with a blood-stained knife, and while walking, he slashed and slashed the entourage who turned back and escaped, with a bloodthirsty cold light in his eyes.
The clansmen became more and more frightened, they dared not follow him any longer, and fled in all directions.
On the river bank to the east of the camp, Yaoying quickly climbed onto the Wusun horse, pinched the horse's belly, and escorted by Xie Qing and other personal soldiers, galloped away in the direction of the Central Plains.
Behind him, the fire in the camp was still raging.
The author has something to say: In order not to get stuck, it's too late
