Out of Yuanmen

There is Shen Hanchi on Yongchao's side, and there is also on Qiang people's side. It is rumored that the three-headed and six-armed, blue-faced fangs, and raw hair drinking blood can stop children from crying at night, the wolf king Artu.At this moment, the two armies in front were fighting, but Artu was sitting in the military tent, with his long legs resting on the desk, his goshawk resting on one shoulder, and he was reading a scroll of bamboo slips in the other hand.A black iron oil lamp was burning quietly at his feet, softening his resolute face.Artur's green eyes were full of contentment, as if he didn't care about the situation of the battle at all.

"My lord, the princess is here."

A soldier passed on the news, and Altu let out a "hmm" and threw the bamboo slips aside.Daliya, wearing complicated silver ornaments on her head and a red gauze scarf on her shoulders, walked into the military tent, followed by a Qiang maid.

"Brother, the battle situation ahead is not good." Daliya said straight to the point in Qiang dialect, "I don't know where Tanlang City got a batch of magical firearms, and they caught the heavy cavalry by surprise. Should you go out and preside over it?" gone?"

"Well, I see." Altu said, "You came here to talk about this?"

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Seeing that his expression was still calm, Delia had a guess in her heart, so she didn't say any unnecessary words, "I'll go back first."

Altu raised his hand and pressed down, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that Yongchao woman who is always by your side?"

"Baozhu?" Delia said, "She went to deliver food for the decapitated prisoners of war. Aren't they going to be executed tonight?"

Artu raised one corner of his mouth unobtrusively, and said, "Didn't you tell her earlier that you wanted to let her go home?"

"Yes, let her go home." Dahlia tapped her teeth and bit the word "she" hard, "It's just her."

"You're good to know."

After Altu returned these words to Delia, he leaned back on his chair.From the corner of her eye, Delia saw a half-burned letter on the desk, which was filled with Yongchao's words.She looked back, then brushed her hand over her heart, bowed to Altu and then backed away slowly, her movements were as gentle as a lark.

She is good at Yongchao dialect, but not good at writing.If she can understand it, she can understand that the top line reads——

"Your Majesty the Wolf King, Xie's injury has recovered and he can proceed to the next stage at any time."

……

In Huajing City 12 years ago, it was the emperor's birthday, and the whole country celebrated it.Several small countries around came to congratulate, including Jiangqi and Gonggang on the sea, Gujiao and Pulong in the west, Guyang in the south and so on.Although the Qiang people did not form a single country, the previous Wolf King Wuta also brought his sons and daughters and some modest gifts to celebrate Zhu Zhinan's birthday.

Of course, all monarchs have their own ghosts, and Wuta is no exception.The Qiang people had always been at odds with Yongchao, and this time he came with the intention of demonstrating again, and entered Huajing City with a menacing guard.It stands to reason that one should dismount when entering the capital of Huajing, but Wuta deliberately asked the guards to enter the city on horseback, and almost fought with the city patrol team of Huajing.

Is Zhu Zhinan angry?Of course it was unpleasant, but judging from the strength of Yongchao at that time, Tagujiao Kingdom was like playing for fun, but it really had no confidence at all against the Shangqiang people.Even though the Qiang people started provoking blatantly, Zhu Zhinan still had to turn a blind eye and arrange the best accommodation for them.

Therefore, when Wuta proposed to visit Yongchao's palace, Zhu Zhinan was so angry that he went crazy, but he could only pretend to be tolerant and agreed with it with a wave of his hand.

Artur, who was still young, still remembered that when he entered the palace gate on horseback, everyone on both sides looked at them with awe and hatred.He thought it was funny, so he couldn't help laughing.When Zhu Zhinan took Wuta to visit his bedroom, he was allowed to play in the imperial garden.Artur, who followed the eunuch and maid, casually walked through one gorgeous corridor after another, seeing the exquisite and beautiful glazed lamps following the finely carved wooden railings, he was not surprised, but he was determined that one day he would conquer the eternal world. North Korea's determination.

What's boring is that the princes and daughters of Yongchao have long been told not to approach the Royal Garden at this time. He was very leisurely along the way, and he didn't meet anyone without eyes to provoke him.Altu was bored and threw a stone into the koi pond, watching a pool of bright red carp running around in panic, feeling that this scene was very similar to Yongchao today.Yongchao has such a useless court and such a king without ambition, but is sitting on abundant supplies and a vast land... It's better to call him the Qiang tribe as soon as possible.

"Don't you kings of the Eternal Dynasty have any children? This garden is too deserted." Altu asked knowingly, "This prince wants to get close to people of the same age."

His eyes were sharp, and the eunuch who was questioned by name flinched, swallowed, and tremblingly said: "This... at this time, the princes should not be here."

"Oh? Is this how you treat guests?"

Altu's cold voice was tinged with hidden anger.Although he was not very old, he already had the aura of a king. When he said this, the eunuch trembled, his teeth chattered, and he almost fell to his knees and shouted for mercy.If it wasn't for the bold maid behind him helping him, he would really have knelt down.

The maid was also sweating coldly on her forehead, but she was not as miserable as the eunuch.She forced herself to be calm, took a step forward, and blessed her body slightly: "The prince calmed down, today is the day when the princes go to the Hanlin Academy to have their hair done, and all the nobles are not in the palace. But this servant remembers that a prince is staying in the palace to recuperate from his injuries." , if the prince intends to get acquainted, the servant will pass it on for him."

Altu nodded, sat under the long pavilion, and watched the maid leave in a hurry with a half-smile.After a while, she walked back with a boy who seemed to be about the same age as him.This young man is skinny and bony, his back is still a little bent, he walks with one foot deep and the other shallow, and he doesn't know if he is crippled.But he was pretty handsome, and Altu wondered if this bold court lady hired a little eunuch to deceive him.

The result is really not.The one brought by the maid was actually the prince...but he was the most unfavored prince in the palace. He was so unfavored that any court lady could pull him over to please a foreign prince.

Altu sat on the bench above the stone steps, looking down at the thin prince.Unexpectedly, the prince raised his head to look at him with neither humility nor humility, his pale face showed no expression, and a pair of black eyes stared at his eyes indifferently, as if he was looking at something insignificant.

Artu knew that he looked scary sometimes, especially his emerald green eyes that were not angry and majestic. Sometimes even the warriors of the Qiang tribe would be afraid of him.He felt some interest, jumped down from the bench, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Altu. What's your name?"

His tone of voice was cold and hard, not polite.No matter what, Altu was just a "prince", but even if he spoke to a "prince" in this tone, no one dared to interrupt him and say something wrong with him.

These Yongchao people only know how to back down and don't know what it means to defend their dignity. This is the biggest reason why Altu despises them.If it were the Qiang people, even if it cost them their lives, they would let those who offended them know what remorse is.

The unfavored prince in front of him still pursed his lips, not even offering a fake smile: "I'm Zhu Changyu."

Artu thought for a long time before he dug out the name from the corner of his memory.The child of a palace man, the product of Zhu Zhinan's drunken promiscuity, the fifth prince whose existence is as thin as air.Seeing how weak he looked, as if he could be pushed down with one finger, Artu thought that the rumors were true—this Zhu Changyu was so unfavorable.

Altu jumped back onto the bench and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit."

Zhu Changyu, who had limited mobility, slowly raised his legs, climbed up the stone steps, and sat on the other side of the bench.Altu looked him up and down, and asked, "You are a prince, how did you get your leg injured?"

The maid took the conversation away: "Prince, this is—"

Artu's eyes were as cold as a knife's edge: "I'm asking him."

The maid nearly choked.She originally thought that Altu was just a child, but who would have thought that his gaze could kill people, like a wolf deterring its prey, it would tear her open in the next second.

Altu turned to look at Zhu Changyu again, and the latter finally said, "I was fighting with elder brother and fell."

"I also have younger siblings." Altu said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let my younger siblings get hurt."

Zhu Changyu, whose expression had been as stiff as a corpse, suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Then you have at least one advantage."

Altu said meaningfully: "Sometimes, giving in doesn't always work. At least in our Qiang people, we pay attention to the survival of the fittest. As long as you are strong enough, no one will bully you."

Zhu Changyu let out an "oh", wondering if he had listened to Altu's words.Seeing his pitiful appearance, Artur shook his head imperceptibly.No wonder this Yong Dynasty is useless, a royal family can't even achieve basic unity.The father doesn't love the child, the elder brother doesn't protect the younger brother, and they start to fight each other before the horoscope is written... Even if there is a huge monster watching outside, they still have to fight to the death inside.

Ridiculous.

But this situation is a very good thing for the Qiang people, and Altu doesn't mind adding more fire and fueling the flames a little.He untied his usual copper dagger from his waist, and put small emeralds and silver-plated Qiang totem in his hand, and stuffed it into Zhu Changyu's hand.

"We are destined. Take this." Altu's clear emerald green eyes looked at Zhu Changyu's eyes, as if he wanted to look deeply into his heart, like a devil trying to draw out evil thoughts in his heart, "You know how to use it."

——Zhu Changyu woke up from the pain.He found himself lying on a broken bed, the wooden planks beneath him aching all over.

In his hand, he was still holding tightly the dagger that was intended to be used for self-judgment.

Zhu Changyu reached out his hand to touch his abdomen, which was wrapped with a thick bandage, but as he moved, the wound was torn again, and the bright red color came out from inside, gradually spreading.He gasped, sweat beaded on his forehead.

A masked man was sitting beside his bed, watching him intently.Zhu Changyu was not surprised either. He put the dagger back into its sheath, and then calmly met the masked man's gaze: "Where's my sister?"

The masked man's voice was hoarse, and his age could not be heard: "Don't worry, she is in a safe place."

Zhu Changyu stopped talking when he heard the words, as if he didn't have anything to ask.

Seeing this, the masked man applauded him a few times: "As expected of the fifth prince, he looks like a general. You don't wonder who I am? Why did I save you?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Changyu looked at the straw on the roof, and replied coldly, "You save me, besides I'm useful, what other reason can you have?"

"That's right, it's refreshing to talk to smart people. You are completely different from your stupid big brother." The masked man laughed, "You said you didn't want to before, but now...do you want to compete for that position? ?”

He raised a finger and pointed to the sky.
