Chapter 144: Improving

Several balls of fire burned in the tent both warm and illuminate. This fire sets off a group of people in strange costumes, making Xue Chongxun, who is in it, feel like he is in a movie. The opposite side is the eighth-century Khan King Tuyuhun, which has to be said to be an adventure. He even wondered whether this matter would be recorded in history books, making himself a legend and famous in history.

He tried to stand there without being humble or arrogant, thinking to himself that he should ask about my identity and origin next. This is human nature, and the young Khan must also want to know what kind of person the person who brought his sister out was. Xue Chongxun had already thought about the words several times, and was not panicked. He could start to fool him just when the other party asked questions.

However, King Khan said, "Can you play chess?"

Xue Chongxun thought it was Go, because the most popular one in the Tang Dynasty and even the Eastern world was Go, so he said: "Let's know a little."

King Khan said: "Give me a seat and play a game with me."

At this moment, a Tuyuhun man said something, and Xue Chongxun guessed that he was worried that he was an assassin and could not be close to the body of the Khan King. The young Khan King also said a few words in Tuyuhun language, and then a soldier brought a stool to it and made a call.

Xue Chongxun walked slowly to the front of the throne, and when he approached, he looked at the chessboard on the table, and was shocked. The chess pieces were not placed on it. The pieces were carved into some small people and ponies, which were a bit chess, but there was a big difference... Xue Chongxun saw this kind of chess for the first time, and I'm afraid this is popular in the West.

Xue Chongxun raised his head and looked at the Khan King on the upper seat. He was close at this time and finally saw it clearly. As expected, he was very young and looked like a big boy, but his expression showed inconsistent calmness. His face and body were very thin. When Xue Chongxun thought about it, the Murong Yan sisters were also very slender, and she deliberately tightened her waist and looked slimmer. The aesthetic tendency of Tuyuhun people seemed to be different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

The young Khan King stretched out his hand and said, "I am the king. I don't want to suppress others as my identity. You move first."

"Humility is your virtue." Xue Chongxun said it nicely, but thought about it and explained the misunderstanding. He thought it was Go.

After a while, King Khan saw that Xue Chongxun was still motionless, and said, "The world is like a chessboard. You can kill you at any step. You cannot determine what the result is except stopping at the starting point."

This sentence surprised Xue Chongxun. He really couldn't believe it was from a young man. Did the ancients be so precocious? When he looked at the Khan King, the Khan King was also looking at him and asked, "Are you sure of your own result?"

Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly and shook his head, and the other party said "hmm" from his nose. At this time, Xue Chongxun said: "The destiny of heaven may not be violated, and fate may not be controlled by oneself, but people can still act independently and change everything. Only such people can start their own careers."

King Khan said: "Have you changed your destiny?"

Xue Chongxun remembered that the history he knew had gradually become unfamiliar. Just because he, a small person, did something unimportant, but everything changed, he smiled and nodded. Seeing this, King Khan also smiled.

At this moment, a minister below said rudely: "This is a man of unknown origin, and the Khan should be alert to him."

Xue Chongxun was stunned. When he looked back, he saw that it was a middle-aged man with a braid with a big belly. He was sitting just like that when he talked to their king. Xue Chongxun thought to himself, these ethnic minorities have no concept of superiority and inferiority in this era?

King Khan was silent for a moment and said to Xue Chongxun: "He is my brother-in-law Fulu, and he has made great contributions to me, so I should pay attention to his suggestions... Let's stop here today."

This little incident just now made Xue Chongxun feel that Tuyuhun's politics seemed to be a situation where the king and the ministers were weak. Could this young Khan be restored by his brother-in-law? So the power was lost?

"The grass-roots people leave." Xue Chongxun didn't want to fall into their whirlpool, so he stood up and held his fists as a tribute.

King Khan nodded and said, "It's very pleasant to talk to you, I hope you will have a chance to meet." Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "Thank you for the reception from King Khan."

After saying that, he withdrew from the tent. As soon as he arrived at the tent arranged for him to rest for a while, someone asked him out again. But this time it was not to see King Khan, but it was Murong Yan's sister who wanted to see him.

As soon as Xue Chongxun entered, Dong'er looked happy and came up to grab the corner of his clothes. Murong Yan said to her left and right: "Take her down, I have something to say."

Murong Yan had already changed into silk clothes. The Tuyuhun people are located on the juncture of the Silk Road and are very good at doing business. The caravans are far from the Middle East and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so they are not short of silk. The noble ladies are almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty women, but the styles are a little different. She wore soft silk, but there were no various underwear of the Tang Dynasty women, and the outline of the body was faintly visible... Xue Chongxun has been running for more than a month, except for Dong'er, the little girl who had not grown up, and she had not seen a woman for more than a month. Seeing such a scene, her body reacted uncontrollably and her face turned red. He couldn't help but think: The alien woman is more open, and this woman dressed like this. Does it mean that I look handsome and handsome and want to seduce me?

Unexpectedly, Murong Yan said coldly: "King of Hedong, Datang?"

What? Xue Chongxun was struck by lightning, and his random thoughts disappeared immediately... How did she see my identity?

Seeing this, Murong Yan smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed it right."

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "How could I be the prince? Not everyone can meet the prince everywhere! Did Your Highness make a mistake?"

Murong Yan sat softly on the fur chair, pointed to the seat on the side and said, "Prince, please sit down."

Xue Chongxun was filled with depression and doubts, so he could only sit down calmly.

Murong Yan said again: "Recently, the five states of Longyou are looking for your whereabouts. You obviously came to Dahua City but ran to us to steal horses. It's very confusing... Well, just after you met King Khan, he also told me that you are not a simple person, and you cannot be a grass-roots person. You don't have to argue anymore. If you don't admit it, I will be rude. It is not difficult for us to confirm the identity of the Prince of Datang."

Sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, remembering what the young Khan said just now, "The world is like a chessboard, and you can kill you at any step." Thinking about what he was really careless and regarded the ancients as fools.

Xue Chongxun was wise in anger and said in a deep voice: "Then I guess too. After the civil strife in Tuyuhun, you were forced to marry him in order to get the support of the minister Fulu just now? Now the military and political power is in his hands, and your brother is probably just a puppet."

Murong Yan's expression changed slightly. Although it was not obvious, it was already taken in Xue Chongxun's eyes. It was difficult for people to hide their emotions when they were unexpected. Those who collapsed in front of them should be old-fashioned.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed it right, too."

Murong Yan looked cold and stared at Xue Chongxun with her deep eyes and said, "This is our internal affairs, I won't tell you. You should think about yourself and don't meddle in other people's business."

"Your Highness listens to me. How much benefit does it have to hand me over to Tubo? They said 'Thank you', or give you one hundred sheep, or five hundred?" Xue Chongxun hurriedly incited, "If you let me go, you will have long-term benefits both public and private!"

Xue Chongxun continued: "Now that the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty has started again, are you sure that Tubo is stronger than the Tang Dynasty? If the Tang Dynasty can recover the land of Tuyuhun in this battle, there will be a Tuyuhun king in Liangzhou. Who should the Tang Dynasty make the King of Qinghai? Don't you want to leave yourself a way out? Besides..."

He lowered his voice and whispered: "If Murong can join forces with the Tang Dynasty, it will not be difficult for us to help you seize the power you deserve. Do you understand what I mean?"

Murong Yan seemed to be a little moved, but then she said calmly: "First, you can tell the Khan King and Fu Lu (Murrong Yan's husband) to let them decide. As for what you said later, it is best not to mention it again."

Helping them seize power is the greatest temptation, Xue Chongxun frowned and said, "You are going to tell Fu Lu about me? Have you considered it clearly? This is a rare opportunity for you! If you want to find such an opportunity in the future, I am afraid..."

"He is my husband, how can I do things without him?" Murong Yan said coldly.

Xue Chongxun said: "It's just a political marriage, you know."

Murong Yan paused, raised her head and said lightly: "You should not understand the customs of our Tuyuhun. We Tuyuhun women, as long as we get married, will be from our husband's family. Even if one day the two families develop hatred, you must stand on the side of our husband's family."

"Is this how?" Xue Chongxun looked into her eyes, not knowing whether it was the truth or the lies. Truth? False? Because she was afraid that her husband Fu Lu would know it?

Murong Yan looked directly at Xue Chongxun and said, "I will not betray my husband, so I must tell him about your affairs."

Xue Chongxun was depressed and opened his mouth and didn't know how to persuade him to be useful. He had to swallow the words on his lips and stop talking.

"Then, now you go to Fulu with me and explain your identity in person and see how he deals with it." Murong Yan said ruthlessly.

Xue Chongxun felt a chill in his heart, but he could understand it: Why should others hide it from their husbands and think about someone you just met?

"Okay." Xue Chongxun said dejectedly.

At this moment, Murong Yan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "You are kind to my sister, I will try my best to speak for you, don't worry too much."
