Most Rouran people are warlike, and fighting has become a way of their survival.The mellow and exciting sound of the horn spread to every corner of the royal court, solemn and solemn... When Wu Ti led the ministers and nobles to send off the Khan's army, Zhiqing hid in the corner and secretly watched the grand scene in front of him .

Duo Lun's heavy armor gleamed coldly and sharply under the sun's rays. He looked eager to try, as if his whole body was full of excitement, full of desire for war.The autumn wind blew his black hair, and his obsidian-like eyes shone with scorching light, just like the sapphire on the forehead ornament he wore, which was as dazzling and charming.Standing next to Da Tan Khan, he looked down upon the neatly lined soldiers in front of him. His confident smile made Wu Ti's look more lonely. For his two grown sons, everyone could see Da Khan's eccentricity.

Rouran's [-] cavalry set off, and Da Tan Khan attached great importance to this battle, and even the prime minister Jin Canzi followed him.The other ministries that did not go out still stayed in their fiefs, and only a thousand soldiers and Prince Wu Ti's guard stayed in the royal court.Before the expedition, in order to prevent the Wei State from attacking the Wangting camp, Da Khan discussed with the prime minister and also gave Wu a military talisman for emergency deployment of various ministries near the Wangting.

This military talisman is to be prepared for any danger. Wei is unlikely to launch a war. Firstly, Wei mainly adopts a defensive offensive against Rouran at this stage. Second, it takes thousands of miles to attack Rouran to reach the royal court of Rouran. It is time-consuming and easy to be discovered. Once it goes deep The hinterland is in danger of being completely wiped out.Therefore, as long as there are no mistakes, there is no problem for Wu Ti to guard the royal court.

Duo Lun is 22 years old this year, and Wu Ti is one year older. In terms of military achievements and prestige in the army, Wu Ti is much inferior to Duo Lun.Maybe Wu Ti wasn't bold enough, nor lacking courage, but there were too few opportunities left for him to perform.

It has been nearly a month since the army went out to fight, and the battle reports came back frequently, and Wu Ti's face became more and more sad day by day.Zhiqing knew that he was unwilling, but no one could help him if he didn't want to understand and appreciate such emotions.Besides doing her own thing well, she would occasionally persuade Prince Wu Ti to visit Miss He Hong.Because of Duo Lun's absence, He Hong was bored by herself, and most of the time she would give Wu Ti a good look.Zhiqing felt that this might make Wu Ti feel better, and it would be a distraction by the way.

After dinner, Wu Ti went to find He Hong.Zhiqing and the other maids returned to their tent after packing up.She is her own small independent tent, and usually has little communication with the other maids around Wu Ti.Since she came, because she was not from Rouran and was bought back, the maids around Wu Ti hated her, but Zhiqing didn't force them to like her, as long as they didn't interfere with each other and lived in peace, it would be fine .

In the quiet night, the chirping of insects can be heard everywhere, and the howling of wolves can be heard vaguely.Sitting on the couch, Zhiqing took out the embroidery hidden under the pillow and began to embroider.The acupuncture techniques she learned in her hometown in the past are still flexible in her hands, which she uses to pass the time.Sometimes Zhiqing also thinks that if she leaves Rouran and returns to Wei State, maybe she can make a living with her embroidery skills.As for the quiet county town in her hometown, God knows if there will be anyone at home when she really goes back one day.

She has become Zhiqing, with all her memories and senses, she can't help but feel lost when she thinks of her parting hometown.She would miss it too, but she was more curious about what kind of life she would live if she woke up in Wei.

The night is getting deeper...

When Zhiqing was in a trance, she was startled by the sudden shouts of killing outside the tent, the embroidery needle pierced her finger, and a drop of blood leaked out.She quickly put the pricked index finger into her mouth, stood up slowly and walked towards the door.

The sound of close combat and shouts of killing became louder and louder, Zhiqing wondered who would break into the royal camp and how many soldiers and horses there were...

Although Wu Ti was upset because he couldn't go to the battlefield, but he had the task of staying behind, and he would spend some time every day to understand the deployment of the guards in the royal court, and occasionally patrolled.If there is only one team or a small number of people here tonight, nothing major will happen.

Just as she was thinking, a man in black suddenly broke in, ran into her head-on, and immediately put a knife on her neck.

Zhiqing's heart immediately rose to her throat, her eyes widened in fright.The man in black was slightly injured, and his face was not masked. Looking at his attire, he looked like a native of the Central Plains. She shook her heart and said in a trembling voice: "Don't, don't kill me... I promise not to shout, you must not kill me!" I!"

The man in black with the knife narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to say something when he heard someone outside the tent yelling loudly as he walked over: "Li Duo, Li Duo..."

Zhiqing's tent was so small that it couldn't hide anyone at all, she pushed the person away, then closed the bed curtain, turned around and walked towards the door of the tent.In a blink of an eye, Wu Ti lifted the curtain and walked in quickly, "There are spies from the State of Wei sneaking in, are you okay here?"

"I'm fine." Zhiqing didn't call Wu Ti, she was worried that the person hiding on the bed would rush out and kill him after learning his identity.Just ask, "Are there many people?"

"Don't worry, there are only a few dozen people." Wu Ti snorted coldly, and said angrily, "If you dare to break into the royal tent, I will let them come and go!"

Zhiqing anxiously urged Wu Ti to leave quickly, "Although there are not many people, you should be outside so that you can explain to Da Khan."

"Okay, I'll let someone stay outside, don't come out."

Zhiqing nodded indiscriminately, and hurriedly sent the person away.It's just that there are people guarding outside, what should the man in black do?After Wu Ti left, the person on the bed jumped out immediately, and put the knife on her neck again.

This man was wounded on his arm, and he was dressed in pitch-black attire, so it was obvious that he was here to spy on the military.Their people should have been discovered as soon as they sneaked in, and he must have broken into here by mistake after fighting with Rouran soldiers and being dispersed.Because the shouts of killing just now were from far to near, they must have been discovered before they even approached the main tent.

After a while, there was a vague flute sound outside the tent, and the man in black looked at Zhiqing with a relaxed expression.The oil lamp in the tent was shining dimly, Zhiqing raised her head and saw clearly the appearance of the man in black.He is about thirty years old, with clear facial features, a firm determination under his cold complexion, and his eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows are clear but not murderous. His eyes are like a bottomless black pool, deep and deep restrained.

He should not be a bad person, Zhiqing suddenly thought, because there is no feeling of fear or disgust in this person, and his calm expression seems to make people feel that he can be trusted.

The man in black had blue stubble on his chin. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Our people have already retreated. If you can help me get out of here, I will let you go."

Zhiqing looked at him seriously, and replied: "Okay, I promise, I hope you will do what you say."

The knife placed on Zhiqing's neck was taken off, the man looked around the small tent, fixed his eyes on the embroidery on the bedside, and asked tentatively, "Are you from Wei?"
