wait for another year

As soon as they got off the Tianshan Mountain, someone came to meet him at the foot of the mountain. Xuanyuanhui and his party changed their horses and headed towards Yaluke without daring to delay for a moment.

The boundless mountains gradually drifted away, and the hard frozen soil under the horse's hooves was replaced by lush pastures, and everyone's mood became more and more excited.

"Look!" Sun Yan was the youngest, rushing to the front, acting as a scout.

Xuanyuan Hui immediately stepped forward, and at a glance, he saw dozens of people waiting in the distance.These more than ten people are all wearing Huihe costumes and holding several strips of colorful cloth in their hands.

"What is that?" Suan Ni asked the people beside him in a very low voice.

Xuanyuan Hui smiled, "That's a hada, cut from Persian cloth, to express respect to the visitors."

After that, he whipped his horsewhip and went straight forward.

When he was about a hundred meters away from those people, Xuanyuan Hui got off his horse, threw the reins to Suan Ni behind him, and walked quickly towards the leader.

The Huihe man was about thirty years old, and when he saw Xuanyuan Hui, he first bowed his head and saluted, speaking in half-baked Chinese, "Most respected prince, your Yaluke has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xuanyuan Hui also saluted with Huihe etiquette, and said in Huihe language: "Thank you for your welcome, my lord. I don't know your name?"

"Little man Gujun, the Khan ordered me to guard the pasture here for the prince."

Xuanyuan Hui nodded, "Is uncle still healthy?"

"Khan is the healthiest eagle on the grassland, so he is very healthy," A Gujun led the way, "He often writes books about the prince, and he misses the prince very much."

Xuanyuan looked at him in the dark, seeing that A Gujun did not seem to be a person in a high position, he couldn't help thinking to himself, "I mentioned the alliance in the letter earlier, even if I reject me now, I shouldn't let such a name disappear The little people who have been rumored to come forward..."

"Xiao Wang often misses his uncle in Suzhou," Xuanyuan Hui thought for a while, "If it is not for the court's law, Xiao Wang is not allowed to leave the fief privately, otherwise he will definitely visit the royal court in person."

Before Ah Gujun could answer, Yiqi came forward and whispered something in his ear, only to see A Gujun's expression was strange, he was surprised and happy, and Xuanyuan Hui's expression became more and more different.

"My lord is really a man of great fortune."

Xuanyuan Hui smiled at him, but his heart inevitably became uneasy.

After running for more than a hundred miles, I saw prayer flags swaying in the distance and the guards were heavily guarded.

Suan Ni walked forward and looked forward, frowning, "My lord, that's it?"

There were more than [-] Huihe knights, all wearing heavy armor, even the necks were covered with light chain mail, and the feathers of falcons were stuck on the helmets.These knights all looked solemn, and when they looked at Xuanyuan Hui, they were neither humble nor overbearing, which showed that they were well-trained.

Xuanyuan Hui glanced at the long knives and heavy bows on their bodies, and said slowly: "Huihe's full cavalry... are brave and good at fighting, unparalleled in the world. It seems that there is a big man coming."

Immediately afterwards, he dismounted from his horse, straightened his clothes, and followed Ah Gujun towards an ivory white tent.

Ah Gujun stopped outside the tent, whispered in Huihe language: "The villain, Ah Gujun, is visiting the national teacher."

Master Huihe!

Xuanyuanhui concealed the turmoil in his heart, and bowed his head respectfully, "Little Wang Xuanyuanhui has met the national teacher."

Huihe worships Buddhism, and the national teacher is respected in the territory. Not only the people pay homage to him, but even the Khan gives him three points of courtesy.

However, the teachings of Tianzhu have changed a lot since it was passed to the middle land. The Buddhism of Huihe is even more different from the Zen Buddhism of the Central Plains. It seems to be a combination of belief in the gods of heaven and mountains in ancient times. To Xuanyuan Hui, it may seem like witchcraft. in Buddhism.

There was no sound in the tent, and the two of them stood still and waited.This King Su of the Central Plains is still young, and being treated so contemptuously, I wonder if he will lose his temper and offend the national teacher... Thinking of this, A Gujun's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he hurriedly looked at Xuanyuan Hui , but saw Xuanyuan Huiqi calm and relaxed, still standing respectfully, without the slightest bit of sullenness.

"King Su please come in."

Xuanyuan Hui opened the tent and went in, and according to the old memory, bowed down with Huihe salute.

"With the respect of the prince, why do you need to be so polite?"

Xuanyuan Hui didn't raise his head, just by his voice, he could tell that this person was old, he just said: "Not to mention that the little king is half of Huihe people, he should be respected by the national teacher; Mencius, a sage among the Han people, once said, "Respect the old and love the young." ', since the national teacher is Xiao Wang's elder, no matter how much respect he deserves."

The national teacher seemed to sigh, "Forget it, the etiquette is exhausted, the prince will sit down."

Xuanyuan Hui just got up, and was quite surprised to see a white-haired old man sitting on the ground. This old man was not wearing cassock or robes, but a strange plain white robe, a pair of calm eyes, but people dare not look at them for a long time.

After Xuanyuan Hui sat down in front of him, he didn't say a word, and the old man didn't say much, and there was a strange silence in the tent for a while.

"What is the prince asking for?" the national teacher asked.

Xuanyuan Hui said in a deep voice: "Kuang Fu Guozuo, rectify the universe."

"It's really a man's ambition." The teacher's tone was light.

Knowing that he would not be moved easily, Xuanyuan Hui was not in a hurry, "Of course, what Xiao Wang is asking for now is uncle's help."

"Oh? Why is the prince so sure that Khan will help you?"

Xuanyuan Hui shook his head, "I'm not sure, but I have to try."

He sat up straight and looked at the national teacher.

Looking closely at the national teacher, Xuanyuan Hui couldn't help but tremble in his heart, those eyes were actually iron gray, as if they were faint when the flames of karma were burned out.He thought that the eyes of a person who has attained enlightenment should be full of wisdom, but unexpectedly, the eyes of the national teacher in front of him were extremely indifferent and empty to the extreme.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that can hide from his eyes, and nothing can hang his heart.

I don't know whether it's involuntary or seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, Xuanyuan made a decision in the light of calcium carbide - he was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Now the little king is weak, and these days are forced to be almost lifeless. , there is no one in this world to help except uncle and concubine, this time, Xiao Wang is here to ask for help."

"Xiao Wang knows that Khan has exhausted his brother-sister relationship with his mother and concubine by borrowing the land of Xiao Wang Yaluke before. This time, Xiao Wang may be greedy." Xuanyuan Hui smiled bitterly, "Xiao Wang also knows that the relationship between uncle and nephew We can communicate with each other, but how can the favor of the lord of a country be so bad? If the time permits, Xiao Wang also wants to recuperate and recuperate, prepare his troops hard, and take time to figure it out... But treacherous people don't treat me, enemies don't treat me, Li people don't treat me, The world does not wait for me!"

His confession was extremely emotional, but the national teacher still kept his face indifferent.

"My uncle has lent this land of rich pastures to Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang has already cultivated it before. This kindness and love will never be forgotten." Xuanyuan Hui gritted his teeth, "Now, Xiao Wang wants to use this land...to train soldiers !"

The author has something to say: Before Iraq, Sri Lanka, and Lan, Huihe actually believed in Buddhism, but it was combined with the worship of local mountain gods, so my setting is more like Tibetan Buddhism + local shamanism
