Everyone was in disbelief when they heard Shandu Khan's decision. Changsun Ying stretched out his finger and pointed it, then put it down helplessly, saying: "It's cruel enough, it's cruel enough!"
As the saying goes, "Tiger poison cannot eat its children." Yunchuan looked at Shangdu Khan in surprise. This was his only son, and it was more difficult to have a son in old age. Yun Chuan asked in a low voice unwillingly: "Is there no other way?"
"What else do you want? This is Huang Bei, my only future heir to the throne. Now he has to scrape his bones to heal his wounds and amputate his legs to save his life. Are we willing?!" Mingcheng shattered Yunchuan's expectations and held Shangdu Khan in his hand. Old hands.
Shangdu Khan's eyes softened obviously when he saw Mingcheng, and then he said to King Yelu: "Doctor, stay here. If you still want to stay here to find out, then you can stay!"
King Yelu looked at Shangdu Khan meaningfully, thinking that Shangdu Tuoli was no less cruel than before. Yunchuan was a little worried. He pulled King Yelu's sleeve and called in a low voice: "Uncle Yelu."
King Yelu waved his hand to her and said: "Let's go out first and let the doctor treat Bayin properly." Then he ordered the doctor: "Hurry and prepare any medicinal materials you need!"
"Yes!" The doctors bowed their heads and accepted the order, and quickly got to work.
King Yelu left all his followers to listen to the orders of the officials, and left the yurt with Yunchuan and Changsun Ying. When the door curtain was lifted, Yun Chuan looked back, wanting to give Mingcheng a look in the hope that she could change the situation. But Mingcheng didn't look at her. He stood next to Shangdu Khan with a sad look on his face, and gently comforted him: "Khan, I'm watching over here. You can go and have a rest." Shangdu Khan, who was sitting next to him, had gray hair. , put his hands on his knees, said nothing, and looked gloomy.
After walking out of Huang Bei's residence, the eldest grandson Ying breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I didn't expect Shangdu Khan to be so cruel and ruthless, even his own flesh and blood would die without saving him."
"Are you really sure that it is the so-called century-old snow lotus?" King Yelu sighed.
"Of course! I saw it clearly from outside the curtain! Shangdu Khan fed him two pills and told Bayin, 'A hundred years of snow lotus can eliminate all poisons, and eating two pills will definitely cure it.'" Changsun Ying said firmly.
"Then probably not many people in Huang Bei know about this, otherwise they wouldn't have sent all the guards aside to let you take advantage of the loophole." King Yelu shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity, the injury is probably too serious, two It’s nothing. I’m really pitiful about Little Bayin.”
"Two pills..." Yunchuan was in a daze, thinking that the two pills Shangdu Khan gave Bayin to eat were not the two fake pills she put in.
"King Yelu, don't you think my plan is brilliant? Our doubts last night have been cleared up - the century-old snow lotus has long been gone. They are not only calling for thieves to catch thieves, but they also want to frame the blame. It's a pity. Even Bayin, the only son of Shangdu Khan, cannot match the dignity of his father." Seeing Yun Chuan Ruo on the side in a daze, the eldest grandson Ying desperately wanted to attract her attention and said arrogantly: "He wants to use his son's It’s not that easy to use your legs to prove your innocence and blame the loss of century-old snow lotus on us!”
"Changsun Ying, don't you feel a little guilty? Bayin is still so young and has no grudge against you. You lured him into the pack of wolves. Now he even has no legs. How dare you show off here?" Yun said. There was too much depression and guilt accumulated in Chuan's heart, and she needed to vent it out.
"Yunchuan, I didn't want his life. Isn't it because his father refused to save him?" Changsun Ying saw Yunchuan's angry look and quickly explained.
"Before you pulled this trick, you didn't even know whether Huangbei had a hundred-year snow lotus. What if it didn't?" Yunchuan retorted angrily, "And you actually knew that Huangbei had a hundred-year snow lotus. You put Huangbei's snow lotus in it?" It's enough to take off the shame cloth, but you still hang on and want to force Shangdu Khan to admit it personally without leaving any room for relaxation. Aren't you just trying to kill Bayin?"
"Bayin had obviously improved when I went in. For such a good opportunity, of course I had to let Shangdu Khan admit it personally. After all, they showed the fox's tail. If I leave some room, wouldn't it be wrong if they bite me in the future? Falling short of success? What happens next to Bayin is also unpredictable." Changsun Ying followed up and explained.
"I won't argue with you, and you won't come to me in the future! I'm afraid I might fall into your trap accidentally, and I can't hide if you don't offend me." Yun Chuan stopped Changsun Ying who wanted to step forward to explain. , turned around and ran away.
Yunchuan only heard the sound of wind blowing in her ears. She wanted to run faster, faster, let the wind be stronger, and blow away the pale face and rotten wounds that kept popping up in her mind. , Shangdu Khan's ruthless face, Mingcheng's sarcastic voice, I hope all of these can be blown away by the wind.
Yunchuan dragged his exhausted body into his yurt, collapsed on the carpet, and lay beside the desk. Yunchuan could no longer control himself and buried his head in tears. This was the first time she felt so helpless. So what if she was a prince or princess? In the face of power and reputation, everything becomes so insignificant. But for all that Bayin suffered, why didn't he have any responsibility at all?
The maid reported outside: "Princess, this is a letter sent by Xia Yi, saying that it must be delivered to you."
Yun Chuan took the envelope, which was written in Shengze's handwriting, "Yun Chuan personally expresses it". He was wondering if there was something urgent? Could it be that something happened to Yu Wenhan? Yun Chuan quickly looked at it——
Yunchuan:
When you read this letter, I hope you have got your wish.
I heard that eldest grandson Ying will propose marriage to you at the "Yunshi Conference". You are my best friend. I know that you are bold and righteous, which is completely different from eldest grandson Ying. I don't want you to go to the "Marble Stone Conference", so you don't have to face this embarrassing situation, and there will be a way to reject this unreasonable request in the future. But now that you are in it, if others threaten you, you still need to plan in advance.
I have a plan, you can consider it: the "Snow Lotus Jade Pendant" I handed over to you, the elders know its meaning, you can use it as a blindfold, you and I are brothers, no need to mind.
Everything is fine, don't think about it.
Shengze
It turns out that even Shengze knew about it, but he was the only one hiding it from himself! No wonder Shengze didn't want himself to participate in the Yunshi Conference at the beginning! "For the sake of my mother and my queen, my father doesn't care about thousands of beauties. How could he let me marry someone I don't like!" Yunchuan sneered.
Yun Chuan took out Shengze's "Snow Lotus Jade Pendant" from his waist, and felt the warm feeling on his fingertips, thinking: "Shengze, Shengze, you and I are iron-blooded brothers, how can I use you as a blind eye? Ming Chengcheng I used you once, if I use you again, you will become a joke in the desert. Besides, I won’t take it seriously, little eldest grandson Ying." Yunchuan put the jade pendant into his waist again, what? Changsun Ying, even if you are a noble prince or a prince, if Yunchuan is not willing, you can’t succeed!
When Yunchuan walked to Weedon Khan's residence, he saw that there were only two cronies guarding the yurt. Yunchuan was about to lift the curtain and go in, but was stopped by the two cronies.
"What are you doing? How long have you been following Khan? How dare you even stop me?" Yun Chuan was furious. Seeing this treatment, he became even more angry.
"Princess Qi, the Khan has important guests to meet. No one is allowed to enter!" The guard took a step back, but still guarded the door.
"What kind of guest?" Yun Chuan asked doubtfully.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." The guard lowered his head and replied.
"Is it because I don't know or I can't tell?" Yun Chuan glanced sideways, sneered, and suddenly shouted, "Father, Yun Chuan needs to see you in an emergency!"
After a while, a helpless voice came from inside: "Let her come in!"
The two guards then lifted the curtain and allowed Yun Chuan to walk in. Yunchuan walked in with his head held high and looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the "distinguished guest" who could keep him out. At this sight, Yun Chuan was instantly shocked. Standing side by side with his father and uncle, wasn't it the monk "Master of Precepts" whom he had seen in the border town inn? At this moment, the Master of Precepts is no longer as submissive and low-brow as before. He has a calm and composed expression, and his clothes are much fresher and cleaner. He strokes his white beard with his right hand from time to time.
"This is..." Yun Chuan playfully adjusted his braids on both sides and pretended not to recognize him.
"Yunchuan, come here, I have met the abbot of the Shaolin Temple." Weedon Khan took Yunchuan's hand and introduced him to the master, "This is my eldest daughter Ashina Yunchuan. She has been pampered since she was a child and does not understand. Etiquette.”
Yun Chuan pouted at Weedon Khan, then saluted to Jie Shou and said: "Yun Chuan has met Master Jie Shou, please forgive me for being presumptuous!"
Holding the precepts and raising the palm of his right hand, he returned the greeting and said, "Princess, there is no need to be polite. The poor monk sees that the princess has a smooth appearance and extraordinary aura. She will definitely become a dragon or a phoenix among people, a rich and noble person."
"Hahaha, thanks for the good words from the Master of Precepts. Yunchuan is my favorite daughter. Although she is willful, she is also a courageous and knowledgeable person among the children of the desert." Weedon Khan listened to the Master of Precepts. Yun Chuan's evaluation of his appearance made him smile even more.
Yun Chuan smiled lightly, thinking that it was too easy to tell fortunes, just say something nice, and his father was really easy to coax. With his status in the desert, how could his eldest daughter not be the best among people, the richest man? What about noble people?
Jie Ji waved his hand and said: "The wealth and wealth that the poor monk mentioned is much greater than what you think." After hearing this, Witton seemed to have realized the deep meaning of Jie Ji, and he couldn't help but nodded. My heart was full of joy.
Yun Chuan had no intention of listening to their silent words and looked around. There were two marching simulation sand tables placed in the yurt. Judging from the terrain layout, one of them was a map of several major ethnic groups and tribes in the desert, and the other seemed to be the border of the desert. , as well as the landform of Dawei, two swords are standing on the boundary of Dawei Jingcheng. Yun Chuan said in surprise: "Father, do we want to fight?"
Witton looked at the sand table map and said without hesitation: "We have been dormant in this vast desert for hundreds of years. It's time to go out for a walk."
"Father, isn't it good now? There is no displacement, no bloodshed and killing. The husband can stay with his wife and children, and the children can grow up safely." Yun Chuan asked puzzledly.
"Yunchuan, you can just be the princess of the desert. You don't need to think about these things." Witton patted Yunchuan on the shoulder.
Yun Chuan glanced at Uncle Helian and saw that he still looked indifferent. Yun Chuan wanted to argue a few words, but was interrupted by the precept ambassador: "Princess, the general trend of the world is like the deep sea. It seems calm, but the bottom of the sea is already rough. If you don't take it, it doesn't mean that others won't take it. If you want to To protect the common people and the peace of the people, we can only become bigger and stronger."
Yun Chuan looked at the precepts carefully. He hadn't seen him for a few days. He had completely lost the cowardly and benevolent appearance he had in the border town inn. The precepts master in front of him had bright eyes, determination and depth. How could he be the one who faced Wang Chengyu? The elder who said "turn back and find the shore" is clearly an aide of "Heart-minded City Mansion". "I often hear Buddhists say, 'Buddha nature is always pure, where is the dust.' Why, Master, do you go against the grain?"
When Witton heard what Yun Chuan said, he stopped him in embarrassment: "Yun Chuan, please don't be rude."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiji said with a smile on his face, waving his hand towards Witton, "If everyone in the world is studying Buddhism like Princess Yunchuan, then the world will really be dust-free. It's a pity that most of the world is greedy and selfish. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? If the world can be brought to peace, I am willing to survive this disaster."
"Then have you ever asked the people in the world whether they are willing for you to go to this so-called hell for them? And whether they are willing for you to cause this disaster for them?" Yunchuan retorted.
"It is destiny that a strange stone falls from the sky and a treasure returns to its place." Jie Ji said firmly.
"Treasure? Are you saying that the strange stone is really related to the treasure?" Yun Chuan asked in surprise.
"Exactly." Jiezhi said slowly, his eyes far away.
"Then, what does this have to do with the war? There have long been rumors that once the treasure was revealed, the world would be in chaos. This treasure should not be made public at all. Besides, the truth of the treasure legends from hundreds of years ago is not known. It is necessary to find out. Really?" Yunchuan was dissatisfied and wanted to argue with Jie Zhi, but was stopped by Helian Qiji who had not spoken for a long time: "Yunchuan, didn't you say that you have something urgent to see your father?"
Only then did Yun Chuan remember the purpose of her visit. Originally, she didn't want to mention the matter in front of so many people, but one wave after another made Yun Chuan no longer care about it, and directly questioned Weedon Khan. He said: "Father, eldest grandson Ying proposed to you, did you refuse?"
