Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

"..."

Shen Rongci didn't expect the other party to ask such a "polite" question as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little weak to respond for a while, and he was silent for a while before saying: "No."

"Oh." Mengsang scratched his head, and seemed to realize that his questioning method was easy to be misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, I was just asking out of curiosity...there are some lost children Brothers and sisters? The ones that look a lot like you?"

Shen Rongci was a little hesitant: "I do have two younger brothers who were concubines..."

Mengsang's eyes widened, and his face revealed the joy of guessing the answer: "Really?"

"But they have never been separated, and they don't look like me at all."

Mengsang immediately drooped his shoulders, with a look of disappointment on his face.It's like a student who thinks he can finally solve the puzzle, but finds that the answer he got is not correct, and falls into deep thinking again.

Shen Rongci glanced at him, and asked casually, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Ah, because you look a lot like our Khan."

picture?Just because of this?

Shen Rongci paused for a moment. If what Mengsang said is true, it seems that Gu Chiyuan's anomaly has been explained... Forget it, let's put this question aside for now and ask it when Gu Chiyuan comes out. .

On the other hand, Mengsang, although he is under the influence of the old Khan, seems to like the new Khan very much in words, which is a bit abnormal.

Judging by Mengsang's attitude towards them, there is no hostility, and it can even be said to be simple and honest. Maybe we can have an in-depth exchange with him.

Shen Rongci then asked bluntly: "You and I should be enemies on the battlefield, why are you so polite to us? Your Khan said he would massacre the city..."

Mengsang showed a clear expression, and laughed a few times honestly: "To tell the truth, we will be a family in the future, and this time Khan and your regent are going to talk about the surrender of the grassland tribes, so the past grievances and grievances will also be discussed." Just let it go, there is no need to target each other. As for the massacre, it is naturally an excuse to deceive you to come to Yanyun Prefecture, you don’t have to worry, those people are locked in a safe place, and the Khan ordered that they are not allowed to hurt a hair of them.”

submission?

Shen Rongci frowned, seeing Mengsang's sincere expression in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

"Submission is what you Khan mean?"

Mengsang nodded: "Exactly."

"But this is not your wish after all, are you willing?"

After all, before this year, the grassland tribes had a lot of hostility towards the imperial court. For a while, the relationship between the two sides was particularly severe, almost to the point of irreconcilability.For two generations of veterans like Mengsang, Shen Rongci did not believe that they could let go of their grievances so easily.

Unexpectedly, Mengsang was just stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect Shen Rongci to speak so bluntly.When he met a frank person, he said frank words, and Mengsang didn't hide it, and said sincerely: "The new Khan is the reincarnation of a god, as long as we follow his steps, we can go to eternal life. We all believe in Khan, and his will is the direction we are moving forward. As long as he wishes so, we will never object, and if we do not comply, it is against our will.”

The piety in Mengsang's words does not seem to be fake, as if Khan is a real god in his eyes.

Shen Rongci knew that the grassland people had their own gods, which might be related to their religious beliefs.

It’s just that Mengsang spoke so mysteriously, and he didn’t expect himself to understand those gods and ghosts. He only came to one conclusion—the new Khan won the hearts of the people.

The conversation in the room ended soon, and Gu Chiyuan and Khan came out together.

Khan still wore a mask on his face, but there was a smile on the corner of his exposed mouth, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"In that case, how about I go back to Beijing with the Prince Regent?"

Is this already surrendered?

Shen Rongci followed behind the two of them, lowering his head as a qualified guard should, but secretly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

Gu Chiyuan should have avoided suspicion, since he left the house, he never looked at Shen Rongci again.At this time, he was walking side by side with Khan, and seemed to be having a smooth conversation: "Alright, I can also introduce Khan to the customs and customs along the way."

Khan smiled and nodded, and instructed Mengsang in his rough and ugly voice: "After the regent and I leave Yanyun Prefecture, you go and release those prefects and common people."

Mengsang responded, and secretly nodded to Shen Rongci as a gesture.Shen Rongci knew that this straightforward and sincere prairie man made him feel at ease, not to worry about the safety of the people in Yanyun Prefecture.

Shen Rongci wanted to tell Gu Chiyuan the news, so it can be seen that he had been talking with Khan, and he really couldn't find a chance to interrupt, so he could only silently follow behind the two.

Even though the atmosphere between the two of them was still tense before, for some reason, they can still talk happily like this now.

Is it because Khan looks like himself?Or what did the two of them say in the house?

Shen Rongci silently suppressed his messy thoughts.

Wu Caijun was still waiting outside, and he obviously did not expect to see such a harmonious atmosphere between the regent and the Khan; and when he heard that the grassland tribes had surrendered, at the same time the regent invited the Khan to accompany their convoy. Going back to Beijing together is even more unbelievable, even the soles of their feet are a little floating.

Shen Rongci secretly passed the news of his return to Beijing to the army thirty miles away, and ordered them to be on guard secretly in case the grassland tribes suddenly attacked.After finishing all this, when he went back to the convoy to find Gu Chiyuan, he found that he had invited Khan to his carriage and ordered others not to approach him.

Shen Rongci watched Gu Chiyuan's carriage go away, and blinked.

Behind him, Wu Caijun rode over on horseback, glanced at him, and taunted him in a strange way: "How long will it be good for Israel to do things to others?"

Wu Caijun didn't have a good face towards him, and the respect he pretended on the surface was only limited to when Gu Chiyuan was present. As for other times, this person would always find some opportunities to speak viciously. I don't intend to waste my energy trying to learn as much as he does.

So he turned around and found a horse, and followed the large army ahead, ignoring Wu Caijun.

Wu Caijun was ignored by him, a little unconvinced, he immediately followed him on horseback, walked side by side with him, and asked awkwardly: "Why didn't you say a word? Could it be that Khan is so beautiful that he didn't just treat you After the comparison, it also took away the heart of the regent, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

You must know that if he owed a word in the past, this major general would directly attack him back without giving in. Today was the first time he was ignored.

"No, why do you say that?"

Shen Rongci not only didn't hate him, but on the contrary, his tone sounded quite peaceful.

As if he saw some monster, Wu Caijun spread his folding fan to cover his mouth, and looked him up and down in amazement.

Shen Rongci let him watch without any reaction, as if he was waiting for his answer.

Not normal, so abnormal.

Wu Caijun closed the fan with a "snap" and tapped lightly on his forehead three times.This is his habitual small movement when thinking about difficult problems.

For some reason, when Wu Caijun spoke again, all the schadenfreude in his tone had been put away, replaced by a little cautiousness; "Why is the relationship between the regent and the Khan so good suddenly?"

Shen Rongci glanced at him: "Didn't you say that Khan was good-looking and won the heart of the regent?"

Wu Caijun coughed dryly: "I was joking, why are you taking it seriously!"

Shen Rongci shook his head helplessly, and recounted to Wu Caijun what Mengsang had told him.

Compared with Shen Rongci's half-knowledge, Wu Caijun obviously has some research on the religious beliefs of the grassland tribes, and he immediately revealed a look of enlightenment after listening: "So that's how it is."

"How to say?"

"Prairie tribes have a saying of reincarnation. The only god they enshrine is called Shuangsheng. It is rumored that he is the ancestor of the grassland tribe. The ability of Shuangsheng is reincarnation.

"Prairie people believe that twins can continue to be reincarnated after death, thus becoming an existence of eternal life. Therefore, the wizards in the grassland tribes mainly accuse them of finding the reincarnation of twins. They believe that as long as they follow the reincarnation of twins, they will regard him as a khan , he will lead the grassland tribe to a bright future, but the grassland tribe has not found the so-called twin reincarnation for nearly a hundred years.

"Obviously, this new Khan is regarded by them as the reincarnation of their twins. This is also the reason why the grassland people obey him so much."

Wu Caijun paused when he said this, and asked him, "Did Mengsang also say that you look a bit like their Khan?"

Shen Rongci lowered his eyes and nodded.

Presumably there is not only a little bit of similarity.Otherwise, Monsang would not have guessed that he might be Khan's long-lost brother.

Wu Caijun tapped his forehead with the folding fan again, and seemed to have a headache, as if he was thinking hard: "I remember when I was reading an ancient book about twins, it seemed that there was a mention of two people who looked exactly the same... But specifically I kind of forgot something, I have to go back and look through the book to find out."

"The same person?"

Shen Rongci suddenly remembered that Khan called him a "fake", and had a vague guess in his heart.

He had to ask the system.

Wu Caijun was still thinking that what he said just now was a little too much, and wanted to comfort Shen Rongci a few more words, but before he could speak, he saw the young major general galloping forward, leaving him no room for words. Chance.

Wu Caijun scratched his temples with a folding fan: "Strange, it's none of my business whether he is sad or upset? Why should I feel guilty?"

But he said so on the lips, but his body still acted honestly, and also raised his whip to catch up with Shen Rongci.

However, before Shen Rongci found the system from the large army, there was quite a commotion in Gu Chiyuan's carriage ahead.

When Shen Rongci and Wu Caijun rushed over, a man had already been escorted by the guards and knelt in front of the carriage. Gu Chiyuan stood in front of him with his hands behind his back. Looking at his back, he could feel that he was not in a good mood.

And Khan was standing side by side with Gu Chiyuan, as if he had become their honored guest.

Shen Rongci was a little unaccustomed to seeing someone standing beside Gu Chiyuan, who looked so close, he froze in place for a moment and forgot to step forward. It was Wu Caijun next to him who reminded him that he came back to his senses.

Wu Caijun asked a little strangely: "Huh? Isn't that the servant next to you, Major General? How did you arrest him?"
