Looking at the Stars in the Grassland Chasing Love

Tuobaxiu, the virtuous king of Xijue Zuo, is a mediocre man with little intelligence or ambition.

He never had any delusions about the throne of King Khan, but was caught between several brothers.But the smartest thing he did in his life was to always be in awe of his second brother, who was revered as Botatuhong.

He clearly remembered that when he was eight years old, he went hunting with his second brother and met a pack of wolves.

They only brought about twenty people, but there were hundreds of wolves, and the guards suffered heavy casualties.Tuobazhen was only 11 years old at the time, but he was calm in the face of danger. He directed the people to retreat to a mountain bag, set traps around, and lured the wolves in. Then he lit a fire to trap and kill all the wolves.

At that time, Tuoba really wiped off the blood on his face nonchalantly, and said to Tuobaxiu, who was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, expressionlessly: "Third brother, have you seen that? Killing a wolf is not considered killing, but killing a pack of wolves is called killing." kill!"

Tuobaxiu was shocked.

Although so many years have passed, Tuoba Zhen left him a deep impression at that time, so he never wavered in his confidence in his second brother.

Even though Tuobazhen was framed by the fourth child, demoted by his father, and bullied by the boss, Tuobaxiu always believed that a person who knew how to set traps in adversity at the age of 11 and wiped out the wolves would not be easily defeated .So he stood on Tuobazhen's side from beginning to end, and cooperated with him to seize the position of Xijue Khan.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct.

Of course, he also got rewarded.As the Zuoxian King of Xijue, he is second only to Tuobazhen, owning the largest tribe and the most wealth besides Tuobazhen.Even if Tuoba really has no son, he and his son will be the most legal heirs in the future.

Although Tuobaxiu didn't have great intelligence, he was not a fool. It was appropriate for him to receive envoys from the Ming Dynasty, but it was difficult for him to grasp the scale.

At the end of September, envoys from the Ming Dynasty came to the royal court in a mighty manner.

Tuobaxiu took people to meet him, and when he saw the Ming team, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Generally speaking, every time the Ming Dynasty came to the grassland, there were about 300 to [-] people. The specific size depends on the rank of the envoy's minister and the situation on the grassland.

There are many refugees and horse thieves on the grassland. If you bring too few people, not only will you not be able to reflect the majesty of the big country, but you will also have safety and life worries.

But this time Yan Zixing brought only about 50 people.

With such a small number of people, I wonder if the Ming Dynasty did not pay enough attention to this Lord Yan?Or do you not pay enough attention to the mission of this mission?

Tuobaxiu was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and greeted the angel of Ming Kingdom with great enthusiasm according to the etiquette.

In the Ming Dynasty, red, purple, and black were still popular, and Yan Zixing, as the envoy this time, had risen in rank.

He had been wearing a black official uniform before, but this time he changed into a second-grade purple official robe, which was embroidered with auspicious unicorns, with tight waist and sleeves, and black official boots underneath. He looked majestic and dignified, but also heroic state.

He said, "I don't know why the Great Khan didn't come?"

Tuobaxiu wiped his sweat in secret, and said: "The Khan is busy with his affairs these days, so he can't come to meet the envoy in person, I am deeply sorry, and I specially ordered this king to entertain the envoy well."

Yan Zixing glanced at the Wangting surrounded by tents in the distance, and knew that the most central and luxurious tent there was Tuobazhen's residence.

He didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, but asked kindly: "Excuse me, King Zuo Xian, where are we staying tonight?"

Tuobaxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "The tent is ready. Lord Yan, this way please."

The tents of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were arranged on the west side of the royal court, and the decoration was very gorgeous. It can be seen that the Xijue people entertained them with heart, but they were a little far away from Tuobazhen's tent.

Although it was the first time for Yan Zixing to go to Xijue on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, he knew the things on the grassland very well. He knew that Xijue people respected the west, and usually arranged for valuable guests to live in this direction, but it was a pity... People are far away, it seems that it is not easy to slip past.

Tuobazhen was just a reviled prince at the beginning, living in his own tribe, the guards were naturally not as strict as now.Now that he lives in the royal court and is a great Khan, it will not be easy for Yan Zixing to touch him in the middle of the night like last time.And once someone finds out, Tuobazhen must know that he did it, who told him to accidentally expose that scarf to Tuobazhen last time.

But Yan Zixing came this time because he wanted to meet Tuobazhen openly, and he didn't have those small thoughts.

Although Tuobazhen is the Great Khan of Xijue, Yan Zixing is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty this time, and he is the younger brother of Emperor Ming and King Beitang, so his status is no lower than him.

Yan Zixing lived in this way, and more than fifty guards were also arranged around.

Because the envoys brought too few people this time, although King Zuoxian ordered the three chiefs of guards who guarded the envoys' tent to watch out secretly, everyone was less wary than before.

Tuobazhen has been raising the fetus these days, and his belly has already swollen. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and there are more clothes, which can be covered.

Although he didn't want to meet Yan Zixing, but this time Yan Zixing was an envoy of the Ming Kingdom, so he had to formally meet him no matter what.

"Teacher, can you explain the purpose of the country's envoy this time?"

He lay wearily on the couch, his eyes half closed in thought.

A Suya said: "It is inevitable for us to fight Dongjue. The Ming Kingdom sent envoys here at this time, which really makes people suspicious."

Tuoba Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "Maybe he didn't come to discuss state affairs at all, but came to return Helena."

A Suya glanced at him, and said calmly: "Will the Great Khan send the eldest princess back?"

A rage flashed in Tuoba's true eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "He's dreaming!"

Azuya shook her head secretly.It seems that the eldest princess is really the Achilles' heel of the sweat and cannot be touched.

But some things must be planned in advance, so he reminded Da Khan: "Maybe the Ming Kingdom wants to use the matter of the eldest princess as an exchange condition. If Lord Yan proposes to send the eldest princess back to the Ming Kingdom, he will fully support us in defeating Dongjue. what would you do?"

Tuoba Zhen was slightly shocked, his face was ugly.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this question, but how can he choose?He tried his best to get his daughter back, but he didn't want her to be exchanged for Ming's support.He really wanted to keep his daughter by his side and never let her out of his sight again.

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

A Suya said slowly: "Your Highness, these are just my guesses. But if this is the case, we have to be prepared in advance."

Tuobazhen nodded, and said lightly but firmly: "Helena is my bottom line. I will not let anyone take her away, even if Ming Guo forces her to do so, I will never compromise! Teacher, you understand ?"

He fixedly looked at Asuya.

A Suya nodded: "Protecting one's own children is the bounden duty of a parent. The Great Khan thinks so, it is not in vain that Fei Chen has taught the Great Khan for many years. The minister is very pleased."

Tuoba was really slightly moved.He thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and gave A Suya a solemn salute.

"Teacher, thanks to your teaching these years, I have not acted deviantly. Please continue to assist me in the future."

Asuya was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What is Dahan doing? We are both masters and apprentices, and we are also monarchs and ministers. It is my duty to assist you."

Tuobazhen smiled slightly: "Teacher, a teacher for a day, a father for life. I regard you as a father in my heart, you understand."

A Suya's eyes turned red, a little excited.

Tuoba really lowered his head and touched his stomach, and said slowly: "This time I have a hunch that this little guy is a boy. Maybe he will become the master of this grassland in the future. I hope the teacher can teach him like he taught me. .”

A Suye smiled, unexpectedly, he shook his head.

Tuoba was really stunned.

A Suya said: "I'm old, and I may not be able to wait for that day. I have taught you all my skills, and you can teach him yourself in the future."

Tuoba really smiled wryly, and wanted to speak, but Asuya cut him off: "You can also ask his other father."

Tuoba's face changed.

A Suya slowly walked out of the tent with her hands behind her back: "I don't remember teaching you the word 'escape'."

Tuoba really watched the teacher make a big deal, and couldn't help thinking.

On the second day, Tuobazhen met Yan Zixing in the king's tent, and the left and right sage kings, as well as the ministers and nobles of the royal court were all present.

Originally, Tuobazhen promised that as long as Tuobayu would submit to him, he would be named Youxian King, but Tuobayu rebelled against the grassland and died on the way to escape. Tuobazhen rewarded the position of Youxian King to one of his cronies tribe.

Yan Zixing was wearing a formal purple official robe of the second rank of the Ming Dynasty, with cloud-treading boots on his feet, a purple star sword on his waist, and a knot in both hands. He was young and handsome, with a straight face.

He bowed to Tuoba Zhen with the Western Jue etiquette, neither humble nor overbearing.

Tuobazhen was wearing the splendid clothes of Xijue Dahan, with an agate necklace hanging down in front of his neck, and several large gemstone rings on his fingers. According to the custom of Xijue, he also wore gold rings on his ears.

Strangely, this outfit does not appear to be jeweled on a man, but has a kind of rough and gorgeous.

But the strange thing is that the weather is not very cold recently, and the big tent is also very warm, but Tuobazhen is still covered with a black expensive cloak, which is a bit bloated.

Yan Zixing glanced at him secretly, and saw that his complexion was rosy, his breathing was steady, and his voice was loud, and he was not as weak and afraid of the cold as he was when he was recuperating in the Urim Basin.

Tuoba Zhen also observed Yan Zixing carefully, seeing that his face was calm and businesslike, his heart was inexplicably complicated.

The two sides had met each other friendly, and after exchanging pleasantries, Tuobazhen was the first to get to the point, saying, "I don't know what is the important thing for your envoy to come to the grassland this time?"

Yan Zixing took out a yellow silk emissary letter covered with a jade seal, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Khan will know it after reading it."

The waiter took the envoy and carefully held it in front of Tuobazhen.

Tuobazhen took a look at Yan Zixing, saw that he was looking at his nose and his heart, but he didn't raise his eyes, so he couldn't help frowning, took the book and opened it to read it again.

He was quite shocked in his heart, tried his best to restrain his emotions, closed the book again expressionlessly, looked at Yan Zixing below, and said: "Ben Khan knows. Master Yan has worked hard all the way, and tonight I will help Yan Zixing." Your Excellency is holding a reception banquet, and please honor your honor.”

Yan Zixing pulled out a light and polite smile: "Thank you, Da Khan, for your hospitality. I will definitely attend next time."

Tuoba really felt very boring.

He was worried that Yan Zixing came to Xijue this time to snatch his daughter and cause trouble with him. It can be seen that Yan Zixing followed the rules after he came, and felt a little lost, but thinking of the envoy letter from Emperor Ming, he couldn't help but feel complicated again. .

This interview, it can not be said that they broke up unhappy, but they did not have a very happy talk.

The others didn't know the truth, and didn't know what the Ming Kingdom sent the envoy for this time, so they asked Da Khan after Yan Zixing left.

Tuobazhen said coldly: "Ben Khan is about to discuss with you. Emperor Ming sent a letter expressing his willingness to send troops to support us against Dongjue."

There was an uproar underneath.

King Zuo Xian and King You Xian were both surprised and delighted, but Qin Ziye hesitated for a moment and asked, "Khan, how could the Ming Kingdom be so kind and suddenly willing to send troops to support us? Are there any other conditions?"

Tuobazhen leaned back, pointed to the outside of the big tent, and said: "That Lord Yan is the general sent by the Ming Dynasty to support us this time. Except for the fifty or so personal guards he brought with him , Ming will send another 2000 people.”

Zuo Xianwang frowned: "There are only 2000 people? What does Ming Dynasty mean?"

King Youxian said: "With such a small number of people, you want to sell us, okay?"

Qin Ziye asked: "Khan, what request can Emperor Ming make?"

Tuobazhen dropped the last bomb expressionlessly: "There is no request. Apart from the two thousand soldiers, they are willing to provide 30 stones of food and grass."

All the ministers were shocked.

There are indeed not many soldiers in the two cadres. To be honest, Xijue does not need the Ming Dynasty to send troops. They have their own soldiers, and each of them is good at fighting.But 30 stones of grain and grass is not a small amount. For people on horseback like Xijue, getting these grains and grass, especially in autumn and winter, is enough to spend a winter without any worries.

But how could the Ming Kingdom be so kind all of a sudden?

Tuobaxiu had no idea, but King Youxian said loudly, "Khan, since the Ming Kingdom is willing to give it to us, we will accept it. What's there to think about?"

Qin Ziye frowned tightly, and said solemnly: "Khan, we still need to carefully consider this matter."

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

A few months ago, Da Khan and Zhao Ziling went to Ming to return without success. What made Ming suddenly change his mind and was willing to support Xijue?

Tuoba really didn't speak, he was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "It's all gone. We'll discuss this matter later."

Qin Ziye followed behind him, as if he wanted to enter the king's tent and have a detailed talk with him, but Tuoba really waved his hand and said, "Go back first."

Qin Ziye looked at Da Khan's face, saluted and then withdrew.

Tuoba really went back to the big tent and wanted to call the teacher to discuss it, but remembered that the teacher had made it clear that he would not care about this matter, so he had to give up.

He felt distraught.

In fact, Emperor Ming's letter was not just that simple, it did put forward corresponding conditions.But is that a condition?Ask Yan Zixing to represent the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and the reinforcement generals to stay in Xijue until the matter between Xijue and Dongjue is settled.

What does it mean?Yan Zixing wants to stay here and not leave?

Tuoba really frowned.

He lowered his head and touched his swollen belly, which he couldn't hide for long.

He really didn't want Yan Zixing to stay here, there were too many variables, what if the two thousand Ming soldiers came, and Yan Zixing took advantage of the chaos to snatch his daughter away?At that time, there will be an enemy army from the Eastern Jue in front of the Western Jue, and the Ming Dynasty will be watching it covetously in the back. Wouldn't it be the enemy?

But... 30 shi of food and grass is too important to Xijue.

Tuoba thought for a moment, touched his lower abdomen, and lowered his eyes.

Maybe he can use this child to use Yan Zixing again?but……

Tuoba really thought of Yan Zixing looking at him with a little indifference in his calm eyes, as if the two were really just the relationship between King Khan and the envoy, the most familiar pair of strangers in the world.

This feeling made him feel tangled and restless.

He had a vague premonition that he had lied to Yan Zixing several times, and if he did it again, it was very likely that Yan Zixing would never forgive him again.

Tuoba really thought of Yuque Pond in Xishan, Yan Zixing knew that he was using him, but still enjoyed it.

He felt a little sweet in his heart, and a little proud, and a certain desire to conquer made him feel a certain satisfaction.

The lines of Yan Zixing's shoulder blades and back are very beautiful. When he arches his body, he looks like a tiger out of the cage. Sweat flows down his muscles, full of charm.

The vigorous figure, the powerful arms, the fierce impact and the deep words: "Is it comfortable? Who else can make you so comfortable except me?"

Tuoba really came back to his senses suddenly, and suddenly found himself hard.

Unknowingly...

Tuoba was really a little annoyed, and blushed rarely, but fortunately he was the only one in the big tent, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.

Since his pregnancy, his "sexuality" has been quiet. First, he was very numb to this kind of thing in the early stages of pregnancy. Second, this time his health has deteriorated a lot. After tossing and tossing, how can he still have the energy?

At this time, Tuoba really looked at the small tent erected under him, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.

Solving this matter by himself is simply a joke to the former Tuobazhen. He has so many beautiful concubines, why should he wrong himself?But since he broke up with Yan Zixing, he has lost interest in women, unknowingly he has become self-conscious, and when he has desires, he can solve them by himself.

If it wasn't for Yan Zixing, why would he be here?

Tuobazhen turned to the back of the screen, leaned on the small couch, stretched out his hand to unbutton his pants, and poked in.

While comforting himself, he closed his eyes, unconsciously fantasizing about Yan Zixing's body.

He couldn't restrain himself, his mind was frantically turning all kinds of pictures of Yan Zixing pressing on him, his body became hot involuntarily, as if the whole person was held in his arms.

"Um... ah... um..."

Tuobazhen's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, as the fantasies deepened, not only did the lower body not have the desire to be liberated, but the desire became more and more intense, and the acupoints at the back were also numb and itchy, and became moist.

How can this be good?

Tuoba really ripped off his clothes irritably, still kept rubbing his avatar with one hand, and couldn't help but reach behind him with the other hand.

He was lying sideways on the couch, his clothes were half-faded, his legs were separated, his left hand touched his back acupuncture point, and a finger was inserted.But still not satisfied, soon he inserted two, three.

"Hmm..." Tuoba really frowned.

No matter how hard he tried, the back seemed to be scratching the surface, and he couldn't be satisfied. Instead, with the thrusting of his fingers, more and more honey overflowed.

Tuoba is really going crazy.

The front cannot be liberated, and the back is empty.

He opened his eyes and looked around in a daze, wishing he could find something to poke in to relieve the itching.

no!So sad!

Tuoba really didn't know how long he tossed and tossed, and finally managed to let the front end come out comfortably, but the unsatisfied sense of emptiness still lingered in his body firmly and could not dissipate for a long time.

"Come here!" Tuoba really wanted to be dissatisfied, and couldn't help being extremely annoyed. He hastily packed his clothes and called for the waiter loudly.

"Prepare the tub, Ben Khan wants to take a bath!"

"Yes."

Several waiters worked quickly, and quickly prepared the hot tub.

Tuoba really frowned, and said, "Bring two more buckets of cold water in!"

The waiter was surprised, but he didn't dare to disobey the Khan's order, so he went to prepare.

Tuoba really drove everyone out, took off his clothes, and walked in naked.

The warm hot water couldn't quench his desire, so Tuoba really picked up the cold water next to him with one hand, and poured it over his head with a splash.

The icy water washes down, lowering his body temperature and reducing the heat in the tub.

Tuoba really felt a little more comfortable at last.

He sat back in the bathtub, looked at his swollen belly, and the lifeless avatar below, and couldn't help but punched hard on the water.

"Damn it!"

In other words, it was you who harmed Ben Khan to such an extent!

Yan Zixing didn't know anything about Tuobazhen's "pain". He was discussing things with Linghu and Lingcheng in the tent.

This time he brought two personal "little servants", one is Ling Hu and the other is Ling Cheng, both are his capable men.

Ling Hu has been looking for opportunities to help Yan Zixing deal with matters on the grassland. He is very familiar with the situation on the grassland, and he is proficient in disguise, so he is not afraid of being recognized by others.

Ling Cheng is also an outstanding talent in the Chance-seeking Camp.He was born as a secret guard of the Beitang family, he was skilled in martial arts, he was the best at scouting news, and he was good at light work, so Yan Zixing brought him with him this time.

Ling Cheng had this rare opportunity, so of course he had to perform well.

He did have some skills, he had only been here for a day, and he had inquired about a lot of things from the heavily guarded royal court.

First of all, Great Khan Tuoba Zhen seemed to be feeling unwell recently, and hadn't attended the big tent discussions for a while, and the ministers reported everything in the form of memorials, and then approved it back.

Secondly, the little princess Helena lived very well here, and was named the eldest princess. She was very much loved by the Great Khan, and she lived next to the Great Khan. (Ling Cheng secretly wondered why his little princess became the big princess of the Great Khan when he came to Xijue? But he knew he couldn't ask this question.)

Thirdly, Xijue has changed recently, as if it is secretly hoarding food.Moreover, they have frequent exchanges with the surrounding small tribes, and it seems that they are preparing for the war between Kaichun and Dongjue.

Preparing for war in advance is rare for the peoples on the grasslands, because they are all herders and soldiers. Young and middle-aged people can leap on horseback and charge with a machete. Wherever they go, they only need to bring some food. That's it.

But if you really prepare food and grass in advance, it means that there is going to be a big battle.And this battle is not of a looting nature, but a fight to the death.

Compared with Xijue people who live by grazing, Dongjue people are close to the northeast forest, and there are many alien races there, they can exchange prey, furs, forest fruits, and even some products from the far sea with them. The products are relatively rich, and Xijue people There is not much advantage in this regard.

Yan Zixing felt a little complicated.

The people from the East and the West went to war, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty was happy to see the success. Even he himself was willing to be a bystander from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty.

But intellect is intellect, emotion is emotion.Emotionally, he doesn't want to see Tuoba Zhen face such a big battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, Xijue will lose his vitality, and Tuoba Zhen will have to worry about a lot of things.What's more, the sword has no eyes, and if you go to the battlefield, you will get injured or something...

Yan Zixing felt worried and distressed when he thought about it, but when he turned his head, he felt that he was too kind to that white-eyed wolf. Maybe he was planning how to drag himself into the water now.

Ugh……

People in the Beitang family are not easily tempted, but once tempted, they are very long-term.

Although Yan Zixing was tricked by Tuobazhen several times, he still couldn't let go of that person, even if that person took his daughter away in such a rough way, he still couldn't hate him.

Yan Zixing made up his mind not to leave this time.

Since Tuoba really dared to play with him, he dared to play with him to the end.

If you want to use dirty tricks, I'll use overt schemes to stay in Xijue in an open and honest manner, and I'll see what you do!

Yan Zixing was ruthless this time, he must let Tuoba really know how good he is, he didn't believe that Tuoba really couldn't ask him.

He asked Ling Cheng to inquire about the internal information of the Xijue royal court, including the eldest princess Helena, and report everything to him in detail.

In addition to the fifty guards he brought, Yan Zixing actually brought another 200 troops to lurk in a valley two hundred miles away from the royal court. Ling Hu was mainly responsible for contacting them.

Yan Zixing made the worst plan, nothing more than falling out with Tuobazhen and taking his daughter back.

Although this is the last thing he wants to face.
