Looking at the Stars in the Grassland Chasing Love

Huyang City in Yanzhou is a lively and prosperous scene.

Because the second prince Xijue on the grassland moved to the south with his tribe a few years ago, Yanzhou stepped up its defenses, fearing that a fight would break out at some point.

Who knows that the tribe of the second prince is still very disciplined, has always abided by the peace treaty established by the Ming and Jue countries in Yancheng, and has never invaded even a single bit, instead sending some caravans from time to time to exchange some items.

The Ming Dynasty saw that they were interesting, and did not want to kill them all, so they opened a trading market at the foot of Chile Mountain, more than ten miles away. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, they opened a market for seven days to exchange needed items with the Xijue people.

The largest restaurant in Huyang City is called Wangxing Tower, which is four stories high.At the highest level, you can overlook the entire city, and even jump over the city wall to see the distant Chile Mountain and the vast grassland at its feet.

This day, a young man came into the Wangxing Building, followed by two people, and walked slowly towards the fourth floor under Xiao Er's attentive leadership.

The young man's long hair was neatly tied behind his back, and a forehead band of purple silk and gold thread was wrapped around his forehead, with a piece of emerald inlaid in the center, which was very precious just by its color.He is very young, about 23 or [-] years old, with a handsome appearance, the corners of his mouth are raised, and his black eyes are starry. Looking at him makes people feel kind and extraordinary.

He went up to the fourth floor and entered the box. One person stood up and saluted, "Young master."

That person was Ling Hu.

Yan Zixing nodded at him, and said casually: "Sit down." He sat down on the main seat, looked at the clear weather and the distant scenery outside the window, and said, "How is the business of Wangxing Tower recently?" ?”

Ling Hu laughed and said, "Of course it's getting better and better. Now everyone in the whole city doesn't know the name of our Wangxing Tower. And several big cities near the grassland have our semicolons."

Yan Zixing nodded in praise, "You have managed this business well."

Ling Hu said humbly: "I don't understand the business, Dongzi is taking care of it. Originally, he would also come to pay his respects to the young master today, but something happened to the business in Yancheng, and he couldn't make it for a while."

"What happened over there?"

Ling Hu said: "A few Beihu people made trouble in the restaurant and injured the clerk. And they also messed up the wool business they did with us. Dongzi was very annoyed and ran over to deal with it himself."

Yan Zixing frowned: "The number of Beihu people in the border town has suddenly increased recently, do you know why?"

Ling Hu said: "I'm about to report to you. People from Beihu have moved south."

"Moving to the south?" Yan Zixing took a sip of tea and said, "Dongjue people asked them to come here?"

Ling Hu snorted, and said: "Beihu was born in the extreme north. If he wants to get close to the Central Plains, he has to go through the vast grassland. The overlords on the grassland are the Dongjue and Xijue people, and the Dongjue people are the closest to them." , if they hadn’t let them go, how could people from Beihu come in in large numbers.”

Yan Zixing put down his teacup, pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "I'm afraid the Dongjue people have reached some kind of agreement with the Beihu people secretly."

Ling Hu's eyes flashed, and he said: "Young master, you mean that the Dongjue people and the Beihu people are colluding with each other? Are they targeting our Ming country, or are they from Xijue?"

Yan Zixing raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Then who knows. It's up to your opportunity hunting camp to find out."

The Xunjiying Camp was a new organization established by Yan Zixing after returning to Yaojing three years ago. It trained a group of spies on the grassland to inquire about various news about the northern frontier for the imperial court.

At present, the scale of the Xunji Battalion is already very large, and it is directly led by Yan Zixing.The herdsmen, caravans, and even tourists and monks on the grasslands may have his subordinates. Although they are not yet pervasive, it is only because of the short time. grassland.

Ling Hu knew that Yan Zixing was just joking with him, so he must have made up his mind, so he changed the subject, hesitantly said: "Young master, there is one more thing..."

Yan Zixing said, "Speak up when you have something to say, why are you hesitating?"

Ling Hu said cautiously: "This morning, I just got the news that the second prince of Xijue, Tuobazhen... married a new side concubine three days ago." He quickly spoke the second half of the sentence, then lowered his head and dared not speak. .

In the past few years, although Yan Zixing has never said it clearly, his "extraordinary attention" to Tuobazhen cannot be hidden from his confidantes.

Linghu is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, cautious and alert, and has a steady personality.He has faintly noticed some clues, and is very curious about the relationship between the young master and Tuobazhen.It's just that curiosity is curiosity, but he will never go beyond talking, so when he got the news this morning, he felt a little pale.

This Tuoba is really powerful.The marriage was strictly concealed in advance, and the spies didn't find any news. When they found out, the side concubine had already entered the prince's tent.

Ling Hu secretly groaned in his heart.Although it was known that Tuobazhen was deliberately covering up and the incident happened suddenly, it was more or less the fault of the Xunjiying Camp.

Sure enough, Yan Zixing was furious when he heard the words, and smashed the teacup on the table.

"Bastard! Why didn't you tell me such a big news!"

It turns out that the marriage of the two princes is "big news" to you, and the people of Dongjue and Beihu will be in the back row.

Ling Hu immediately raised the news about Tuobazhen in his heart to the forefront of urgent matters.

"Young master, Tuobazhen deliberately covered up the news. Few people in his clan knew about the side concubine. Speaking of which...you knew about it earlier than Xijue Dahan and his sons. "

Yan Zixing narrowed his eyes when he heard the words.

Deliberately covering up the news?Who does Tuoba really want to avoid?Old Khan?How many of his brothers?Or... what about yourself?

He quickly calmed down and asked, "Do you know the identity of his new side concubine?"

Ling Hu said: "This is the strange thing. Our people couldn't find out the identity of the concubine, and there was no news before, as if the concubine appeared out of thin air."

Yan Zixing smiled coldly: "It came out of nowhere? Then I'm even more curious. Go and investigate! This matter must be investigated!"

"Yes!"

Yan Zixing led the people away from Wangxing Tower and returned to the house where he stayed.

Almost three years have passed since he left the grassland with the young Helena in his arms and returned to Yaojing.During these days, he has been paying attention to the changes in the grassland all the time.Especially the other father of his child──Tuobazhen.

The old Khan was like an old wolf lingering on his last breath, dragging his sickly body and refusing to die.But the prestige of the aging wolf king on the grassland has been declining.

The struggle for power between the eldest prince Tuoba Wu and the fourth prince Tuoba Yu has reached a fever pitch, while the third prince Tuoba Xiu seems to have no intention of participating in it, and moved out of the royal court with his tribe a year ago.

As for the second prince, Tuobazhen, in the past few years, he only reintegrated his own tribe and formed an alliance with some tribes in the west to stabilize his power.Since then, he has been keeping his duty, and seems to have no intention of royal power.

But these are just appearances. As a middleman who secretly formed an alliance with the Ming Kingdom, Yan Zixing is actually the clearest about Tuobazhen's movements.

Temporary dormancy is to meet the future battle.

Yan Zixing never doubted Tuobazhen's ambition and ability.

The situation on the grassland is very delicate now, and the old Khan's body can no longer last this winter.At this critical moment, Tuoba Zhen suddenly married a side concubine in a low-key manner, which had to make Yan Zixing have some doubts and worries.

In the past few years, with the gradual recovery and consolidation of Tuobazhen's power, it is not that there are no tribes that have sent all kinds of women to form alliances with him.But Tuoba really had a deep affection for Namu Chun, the official concubine who died in that accident a few years ago, and he couldn't forget it, so he never established a concubine again.And his only son Tuoba Chun was also lost in that accident.

It is a very serious thing to have no heirs on the grassland.

Tuoba Zhen has been out of business for the past few years, and it is also forced by the situation to take in a side concubine.

Yan Zixing understood these things in his heart.Although he was unwilling, he couldn't stop it.

He stood in the yard looking at the pear tree, stretched out his hand to pick up a pear blossom, and flicked the petals off.

Just marry.But I want to see, so what if you marry someone!

Yan Zixing didn't wait for Linghu's return, changed his attire the next day, assembled a caravan, and led people into the grassland.

He is familiar with the grassland, and he is leisurely like visiting his own back garden.After ten days, they found the market near Tuobazhen's king's tent, and ordered people to bring goods to participate in the transaction.

Bandits are rampant on the grasslands, and some big tribes will secretly snatch caravans, so caravans without strength generally will not enter the grassland alone.

Wuwei Trading Company is the largest trading company in Huyang City. It sells a lot of goods and has strong guards. Many merchants who trade with the grasslands are attached to it. Every month or so, they will gather into a large caravan with thousands of people. Entering the grassland mightily.

Yan Zixing was dressed like an ordinary guard, with a scimitar on his waist, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a tiger fur hat. Two strands of tassels hung from his ears and two pearls dangled from them.

With a grass root in his mouth, he wandered around the caravan, chatting with the prairie people who came to trade from time to time.

Grassland markets generally have no fixed days, and when there is a caravan from the Central Plains, they gather together to conduct large trades.Once the market opens, there will be no end for ten days and half a month.Because the grasslands are vast, news is transmitted slowly.If the nearby tribes get the news and come to participate in the trade, there will always be a delay for a while.

Yan Zixing has rich experience and knows that the biggest transactions are usually in the middle of the market, and the first few days are sporadic, just a foreplay for the opening of the market.But this time the market near the king's tent was extremely grand.Not only Wuwei Trading Company, but also two other trading companies also brought their own caravans, and there was an endless stream of prairie people.

Yan Zixing picked up a Xijue warrior, and the two chatted casually.

"Brother, which prince should your clothes belong to? What do you come here to buy?"

The warrior took the tobacco bag handed over by Yan Zixing, his eyes lit up, he took out his cigarette stick and plugged it in, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled white mist, and said, "I'm following the chief I’m here to buy some items, and I’ll be back in two days. Hey, my friend, your tobacco is good, and the taste is strong enough.”

Yan Zixing chuckled and said, "I don't smoke this stuff, my boss gave it to me. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

The samurai was overjoyed: "Thank you very much." He touched his body, but found nothing valuable. He couldn't help but shyly said: "Friends from afar, I have nothing to give you in return."

Yan Zixing waved his hand generously and said, "Make friends, don't be wordy. My name is Yan Xing, how about you?"

"My name is Ashda. I am the head of Baishi under the account of the second prince. If you need my help in the future, just come to me."

Yan Zixing's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen that he was at least a hundred-year-old, so he came over to talk to him when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Our caravan brought a lot of things this time, and some merchants are eager to ship them, but look at you. This market will not be over for a month. Can you find a way to introduce us to a few big tribes, and go back as soon as possible after the transaction."

Ashda said: "What do you have? Our chief executive is here to buy some porcelain, jewelry and cloth, as well as salt, tea, tobacco and spices. Do you have any?"

Yan Zixing smiled and said, "We have everything you need."

Ashda said cheerfully: "Then I will introduce our head manager to you. If there is a good product, maybe we will cover it all."

Yan Zixing said casually, "Did you buy it for the second prince? Your boss and the butler in charge of our firm also recognize it. I haven't bought so many things before."

Ashda said: "We don't know if the higher-ups will use it."

Although Yan Zixing listened to Ling Hu's report, Tuobazhen accepted the side concubine very low-key this time, and few people in the clan even knew about it.But after so many days, the news has not spread, it seems to be true.

He said with a casual smile, "Look at what you want, women have a lot of supplies, so it can't be that the second prince has a new nobleman?"

Ashda heard this, took a puff of smoke, and said with a smile, "You're really right. Recently, there have been more maids near the second prince's tent. It must be that the second prince has a new woman."

Yan Zixing whispered with great interest: "What kind of woman? Tell me."

Ashda laughed twice, and said, "I haven't seen it either. But I heard that the prince's tent is near, every night..."

Men gossip too.

The two chatted for a long time, both of them were beaming with joy and looked wretched.

Ashda finishes smoking the cigarette and bids farewell to Yan Zixing.

Yan Zixing turned around and changed his expression, gritted his teeth and said: "Tuobazhen, you unruly man, wait for me!"

Three days later, Yan Zixing followed the head steward of the caravan, escorted four carts full of goods, and followed a group of soldiers to the prince's tent.

The leader of the Xijue people is the chief manager of the king's account. He may have often dealt with people from the Ming Dynasty. He speaks Chinese fluently, but he is a bit blunt from the grassland people.

"You guys, unload the goods. That person who knows how to make fragrances, go down and clean up first. When the princess summons, I'll send someone to fetch you."

The crowd responded.

After the chief executive explained, he asked the guards to watch them and left by himself.

The steward of the caravan told everyone to unload the goods carefully, and the guards from Xijue came to move the things to the place where they should be delivered.

The butler walked to the side of the car, looked around, and said in a low voice to Yan Zixing who was carrying the silverware: "Young master, it is inconvenient to stay near the king's tent, Xiaowu will go to perfume the princess, and it will take three or four days at most. Is there enough time?"

Yan Zixing said in a low voice: "When the time comes, you go on your own, and I have someone to meet you."

The butler stopped talking, and shouted to everyone to be careful not to break things.

After Yan Zixing and Xiao Wuzi finished moving their things, they shared a clean tent, and someone came with clean water and clothes, asking them to change and clean, saying that the princess likes cleanliness.

Yan Zixing and Xiao Wu changed their clothes, and said, "I'll go out for a walk, you wait here. If the concubine calls you, do what you have to do."

Xiao Wu nodded: "Don't worry, young master, this subordinate knows what to do."

Yan Zixing walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Wang's tent, but he didn't go that way, but wandered around casually.

Two Xijue warriors stopped him and rudely warned him not to wander around in Xijue language.

Yan Zixing smiled, and said, "I'm looking for the steward of our caravan. Don't just leave. You see, I didn't bring any weapons."

He can talk quite well, and the prairie people are straightforward and not so scheming.Seeing that his hands were bare and he was not approaching the king's tent, he let him pass.

Unknowingly, Yan Zixing came to the horse farm behind the tribe, found a sheltered place and sat down, watching the horses running in the horse farm.One of the leading ones was particularly familiar.

Yan Zixing recognized that it was Er Na.Thinking of Er Na, he thought of his Mo Feng.

Poor Mo Feng, since he separated from Er Na, he has never looked at other mares again.All these years, I have been alone, just like myself.

At this moment, several guards walked over to open the horse fence, led Er Na out, and put the saddle on her.

Yan Zixing's heart skipped a beat, and he saw someone striding past.

The man was wearing a traditional Xijue costume, tall and strong, with a machete on his waist, broad shoulders and long legs.

Yan Zixing knew who he was without turning his head.Even if that person turns into ashes, he can recognize it.

He stood up and watched the man quietly from the secluded corner of the tent.

With his back turned to him, the man walked up to Erna, patted it on the big head, said something to the people behind him, and after he finished speaking, he turned over and stepped on his horse, and rode Erna to Yan Zixing's direction to come.

Yan Zixing hesitated for a moment, hid in a corner, lowered his head, and minimized his sense of existence.

The man rode past him, followed by several warriors.But after walking not far, Er Na suddenly raised her head and let out a cheerful neigh, and then ignored the man's restraint, she kept turning her head in another direction.At the same time, another horse cry came from over there.

Yan Zixing's expression changed: It's Mo Feng!

Yan Zixing cursed secretly, and hurried to the barn where Mo Feng was closed.

"What's going on?" Tuoba really frowned: "Who is that person over there?"

The guard behind him replied: "Your Highness, it's the caravan that came to deliver goods in the morning."

Tuoba really frowned, squinted his eyes for a while, then lowered his head and patted Ena's head, saying: "Good boy, you admitted your mistake. Let's go." He said and kicked it, and Ena left reluctantly.

Yan Zixing ran to the stable, pulled Mo Feng's rein, and said angrily in a low voice, "Let your husband and wife reunite sooner or later, don't spoil my big business now!"

Mo Feng snorted aggrievedly, and lowered his head, looking dejected.

It was dyed by Yan Zixing, its body was gray, and it was inconspicuous among a group of horses pulling goods.

Yan Zixing comforted it for a while, and came to feed it with a handful of feed.

In the evening, Yan Zixing returned to the tent, and Xiao Wu sat cross-legged at the small table drinking milk tea. When he saw him coming in, he jumped up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Young master, I have come back. Look, these are rewards from the princess." of."

There is a sumptuous dinner on the table, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, which is very rare on the grassland.

Yan Zixing sat down opposite him and said, "How is the princess?"

Xiao Wu said: "Beauty. Great beauty. She is a little cold, not very talkative, and looks a little arrogant. She must be from Xijue, but she has a bit of an accent. She may be married from a remote tribe."

"what else?"

"There's nothing left now. The princess may call me over tomorrow, and I'll take the opportunity to find out some news then."

"Don't force yourself. Take your own safety first."

Xiao Wu was moved and said: "Thank you, Young Master, for your concern. The subordinates will do their best."

Yan Zixing smiled and said nothing more.

At nightfall, Yan Zixing slipped out of the tent, followed the route he had explored during the day, evaded the patrolling guards, and came lightly to the prince's big tent. Drilled in.

The Xijue people are nomadic people who live in pursuit of aquatic plants and often migrate. Therefore, their furniture and utensils are different from those of the Ming and Wen countries. They are simple, sturdy, light and easy to carry.

Yan Zixing got into the tent, there was a screen behind the bed, and a figure was reflected, faintly visible, and the sound of water was rushing, it was Tuobazhen taking a bath.

Yan Zixing glanced around, and saw that there was no place to hide in the house, except for a slight gap behind the bed.

After all, Tuobazhen is the second prince of Xijue, Botatuhong on the grassland. His bed is spacious and comfortable, with four corner pillars and gauze curtains.Yan Zixing hid behind, with a corner of the curtain facing the inside of the screen.

He looked over and saw Tuobazhen with his back facing him, sitting naked in a wooden barrel halfway up to his waist, splashing water on his body, his black hair curled behind him.

Yan Zixing looked at him fixedly.This is the first time he has seen him in three years.

Taking a quick glance during the day, this person seems to have not changed at all, time has not left traces on his handsome face, but his whole body is more restrained and more stable.

A maid came into the big tent with hot water, turned to the back of the screen to add water to Tuobazhen, and then picked up a cloth towel to help him wipe his back.

This is what a servant girl should do, but Yan Zixing's eyes were burning with jealousy, and he wished to punch the servant girl out of the tent.

Fortunately, Tuoba Zhen waved his hand and drove the maid out.

After a while, Tuobazhen finished cleaning, stood up suddenly, and turned around naked.

Yan Zixing's heart thumped, as if he had been hit by a heavy fist, his eyes narrowed, his black pupils gleamed with desire, and sank deeply.

Tuoba Zhen is muscular and fit, with slender legs, broad shoulders, and tight wasp waist, as if waiting for a bloodthirsty cheetah to prey at any time.

He took a dry cloth and wiped his body casually, then stepped out of the tub.

Yan Zixing let out a gurgling sound deep in his throat, and swallowed, but fortunately, he was covered by the sound of Tuoba Zhen coming out of the bath, otherwise he would definitely have noticed.

Tuoba really dried his hair and didn't put on any clothes. He just rolled over on the couch naked, took out a white blanket to cover his lower body, and put his arms under his head, as if he was going to sleep.

Yan Zixing was standing behind the gauze curtain.He has deep internal energy, holds his breath, and it is difficult for a master who is not like his elder brother to detect it.

The distance between the two is only three feet, but it seems that they are far away in the world.

Tuoba really closed his eyes, and turned over after a while.After a while, he turned over again.

He seemed to be unable to fall asleep, tossing and turning like this a few times, and suddenly stretched his hands into the blanket under his body...

Yan Zixing's heart skipped a beat, knowing what he was going to do, he had no choice but to restrain himself.

Tuoba Zhen let out a low gasp.

His eyes were still closed, his brows were wrinkled, his lips were slightly parted, sweat was dripping from his healthy skin, his shoulders were smooth, his collarbone was protruding, and he was unspeakably sexy.

He rubbed his hands back and forth under the blanket, his upper body was slightly straightened, his chest muscles were down to his tight belly, beads of sweat flowed down the gullies, and fell into the faintly visible clumps of hair.

Yan Zixing wanted to look away, but he couldn't control his body.He tried his best to adjust his inner breathing, trying to pull his thoughts away from the person he loved, but Tuobazhen's voice was right next to his ears, and his breath was so clear, how could he not let him be moved.

Yan Zixing gritted his teeth, twisted his thigh hard, and recovered from the pain.

Tuobazhen opened his lips slightly, as if he was muttering to himself, but Yan Zixing couldn't hear what he was saying.After an unknown amount of time, Tuobazhen was finally released.

Tuoba really stretched his limbs and lay on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his eyes were out of focus, and seemed very dazed.

Yan Zixing really wanted to pounce on him, kiss his lips hard, caress his body, play with his cock, and insert it into his cunt.

But now he can't.I can only bear it!

It took a long while for Tuoba to get up lazily, took out a handkerchief from under the pillow, wiped his lower body, and casually threw the handkerchief on the ground.

He lay back, this time seemed much calmer, a little tired, after a while, finally fell asleep.

Yan Zixing slowly rolled out the bed curtain, with a burst of energy from his fingertips, he touched Tuobazhen's sleeping point.

Tuoba really tilted his head, this time he really fell into a deep sleep.

Yan Zixing sat down on the side of the couch, gently stroked his handsome and thin cheeks, stroked the slightly growing stubble on his chin with two fingers, then lowered his head, and kissed those lips that he had missed for a long time.

In his sleep, Tuoba was really well-behaved, lying there quietly, his body relaxed, allowing him to tease him.

Yan Zixing tossed and turned on his lips, kissed and kissed again, until the thin lips were as red as blood and slightly swollen before letting go.Then twist the dogwood on Tuobazhen's chest with his fingers, and rub it between his two fingers.She stuck out her tongue and kissed down his chin.

Adam's apple, collarbone, chest, dogwood, navel...

Yan Zixing gently licked and kissed his whole body fondly.

Tuoba really became short of breath, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his body trembled slightly due to the familiar touch.But he didn't wake up, still immersed in his dream.

Yan Zixing lifted the blanket, leaned over to straddle Tuobazhen's sides, and took out his avatar, which was already as hard as iron, to withstand the utensil that Tuobazhen had just released and was sleeping in the bushes.

He held two things, one hard and one soft, together in his hands, and put them together.

Tuoba really breathed more and more heavily.But maybe it was in his sleep, or because he was released just now, his genitals were only half erect, but it was enough to excite Yan Zixing.

In fact, he did not intend to do so.Yuan just couldn't hold back his longing and wanted to sneak a look at him.

But Tuobazhen's masturbation just now was too provocative.Yan Zixing felt that he was like a saint if he could hold back and not show his feet.At this moment, he could no longer bear it.

Suddenly Tuoba Zhen muttered something in his dream.

Like a thunderbolt, Yan Zixing was shocked and shot out immediately.

He seemed a little unbelievable, and waited patiently for a moment, but Tuoba really didn't respond.

Yan Zixing rolled over to the ground, picked up the handkerchief that Tuobazhen threw on the ground just now, wiped his lower body, and covered up the traces just now.Then he thought for a while, smiled lightly, folded the handkerchief carefully, and put it in his arms.

He leaned down, kissed Tuobazhen's lips, kissed for a moment, whispered something in his ear, and then sneaked out along the sneaking route.
