The accommodation conditions for the change this time are pretty good, with four or five large tents, sheepskin blankets, simple furniture and decorations. The key is that there is food and drinking water, and there are also several maids serving them so that they can live in peace.

However, Princess Yicheng did not summon them immediately. It was not until three days later that a young man wearing a hood and wearing a Turkic robe came outside the tent. Although he was dressed as a Turkic person, he was clearly a Han person between his eyebrows and eyes.

Cui Junsu's face immediately became serious. After seeing the man, he invited him to sit in the guest account next door.

Lu Han asked an old colleague next to him in confusion and said, "Who is this?"

His colleague stroked his beard and smiled and said, "This person is Princess Yicheng's younger brother, named Yang Shanjing, and is also a member of the Sui Dynasty. He should be representing Princess Yicheng to meet the envoy Cui."

"Don't the princess see us?"

The colleague smiled faintly, "Princess Yicheng is the princess of the Sui Dynasty. Do you think we are really the Sui Dynasty?"

Lu Han murman, everyone understands people, I'm afraid this is the most critical point, Princess Yicheng doesn't recognize them

In the guest account, Yang Shanjing and Cui Junsu took their seats separately. They could see that Yang Shanjing was still very happy when he was in a foreign land. When he was in Luoyang, he often drank with Cui Junsu. The two had a good personal relationship.

Yang Shanjing smiled and said, "I actually mean to arrange you here. No matter what, Cui Jun is our old friend. Although my sister doesn't want to see you, she doesn't object to my arrangement."

"Thank you for your care, but why does the princess refuse to see us?" Cui Junsu asked in confusion.

Yang Shanjing smiled a little embarrassedly and said for a while: "Although there is a word 'Sui' in your country's name, my sister thinks you are not from the Sui Dynasty and has nothing to do with her."

"Why do we think so? Our Empress Dowager is the late emperor. Although the emperor is young, he is also a member of the Yang Sui clan after all. How could he not be the Sui Dynasty?"

Yang Shanjing smiled bitterly, "My sister is very stubborn. What she believes will not change easily, and she never listens to my advice."

Cui Junsu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay! Can Mr. Yang tell me, will the Turks really attack the Central Plains?"

Yang Shanjing's face became solemn, and he nodded slowly, "Khan has already sworn to Changshengtian, and the order to gather troops has been distributed to various tribes in advance. Next spring, the Golden Wolf Head Order will be issued, and at least a hundred thousand troops will attack Bingzhou. I hope you can prepare early."

Kedun means the Turkic Empress. At present, the Turkic Kedun is still Princess Yicheng. According to the customs of the Turkic people, as long as there is no blood relationship, after the father and brother die, their wives will be inherited by their sons or brothers. Therefore, Princess Yicheng is already the third Turkic Kedun.

Princess Yicheng had a very high status in the Turks. She could decide who would inherit the Khan's position after Khan's death, so her status in the Turks even surpassed that of the national teacher.

Princess Yicheng did not live with Chuluo Khan. She had her own big tent and guard. She was just the wife of Chuluo Khan in politics. Because of her high status in the Turkic period, even Chuluo Khan sometimes had to look at her face.

In the big tent, Yang Shanjing tried hard to persuade Princess Yicheng, "The Central Plains is our homeland after all, and our parents are buried there. Why can't my sister persuade the Khan to stop the war and not to cause trouble to the Central Plains again? If he needs wealth, he can send an envoy to the Central Plains to discuss. I believe that in order to avoid war, Zhang Xuan would consider giving him a certain amount of cloth and silk, and both sides were also happy. What's wrong with it? Why do we have to fight?"

Princess Yicheng is tall and has a very strong body due to her diet. However, her appearance is still beautiful. However, the harsh environment of the grassland has invaded her appearance too early, causing a few crow's feet to appear slightly in the corners of her eyes, which makes her feel depressed.

She sneered: "You don't say such naive words. It's not for money that Shi Liversha decided to attack Bingzhou. His Khan position was unstable. He wanted to use this war to consolidate his Khan position. He has already sworn to Changshengtian. Do you think I can persuade him?"

Yang Shanjing whispered for a while: "If my sister really wants to persuade her, she will still obey her. You and I know it very well."

Princess Yicheng's face changed and she snorted heavily after a while, "It seems that you are not stupid. Indeed, Khan will obey my advice and stop the southern expedition to Bingzhou, but why should I advise him? Don't mention any homeland to me. After the emperor's death in Jiangdu, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed."

"But the queen is still there."

"Hmph! Empress Xiao has always only considered her own interests. When did she consider the Great Sui Dynasty? What does the survival of the Great Sui Dynasty have to do with her?"

Speaking of this, Princess Yicheng said coldly: "Okay! Go and tell Cui Junsu that I can persuade Khan to stop the war, but I have the conditions. Zhang Xuan must resign as the regent and not interfere in the affairs of the Northern Sui Dynasty."

Yang Shanjing was stunned and shook his head and said, "How is this possible!"

"You know that it is impossible. The Northern Sui Dynasty is clearly Zhang Xuan's own dynasty. He uses the name of the Great Sui Dynasty to win the world. This is more hateful than Li Yuan. Do you know why I am unwilling to help him? If the Turks destroyed him, they will re-establish the royal family of the Sui Dynasty as emperor. In the real Great Sui Dynasty, you have a chance. Do you understand?" Princess Yicheng stared at her brothers sharply, with brilliant colors flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Yang Shanjing was not ecstatic. He was not interested in being an emperor, not to mention that he was a puppet emperor supported by the Turks. He was even less interested. Yang Shanjing shook his head, "Sister is thinking too much."

"Hmph! Useless cowards!"

Yicheng was very dissatisfied with his brothers. Others were ambitious, but his brother liked the scenery here and the mountains and lakes. He was obsessed with traveling around the mountains and rivers all day long and had no ambition, which really disappointed her.

"Go and tell Cui Junsu that I have the only one condition. If they are willing to accept it, they can stop the war. If they are unwilling to accept it, I have no choice!" Princess Yicheng made a decisive tone, without any room for negotiation.

Cui Junsu and others stayed in the Turkic King Court for only three days before going back. Since they were Kedun's guests, if Kedun did not leave any guests, Chuluo Khan would not make things difficult for them, but would not receive them. The Turks currently only recognized the Tang Dynasty and did not recognize the Northern Sui Dynasty. Of course, the more important reason is that the Turks looked down on the Northern Sui Dynasty.

Yang Shanjing thought about his personal relationship and sent Cui Junsu and others out of Wang Ting. After walking twenty miles away, Yang Shanjing handed him an arrow, "This is a command arrow. If you hold it, you will not make things difficult for you."

Cui Junsu took the order arrow and bowed, "Thank you for your care in the past few days!"

"You don't have to thank me, it's a pity that I can't convince my sister."

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Shanjing whispered: "Before the Turks sent troops, they would definitely worship the Lord of the Heaven of Changsheng. I heard that the worship schedule was set at the end of February next year, so it was the time to send troops to Bingzhou. Khan Chuluo can mobilize at least 200,000 armored soldiers and 50,000 guards. They are strong, so you must be prepared for defense."

Cui Junsu was moved, "We will remember Mr. Yang's kindness in our hearts and say goodbye!"

Cui Junsu turned his horse's head and led his subordinates to run south, gradually disappearing. Yang Shanjing looked at their far away backs and couldn't help but sigh. Next year, the Central Plains will suffer from disaster.

Cui Junsu and his party arrived in Shanyang County half a month later. At this time, the Great Wall at Zihekou to the north had been repaired, and three thousand soldiers were stationed there. Zhang Xuan had returned to Zhongdu. Cui Junsu and his team worked all the way and had no time to rest. They rushed to Shanyang County in a dusty manner. Cui Junsu decided to let everyone rest for three days and set off for Zhongdu three days later.

After Lu Han put his luggage in the inn, he came to the north gate of Shanyang County. He could not forget the female slave's plea for him, and he must pass the news to his family.

Shanyang County was originally a famous commercial county. Merchants preparing to go to the Turks and caravans coming from the Turks all year round. At its peak, even the stables of the inn were lived in. However, after Liu Wuzhou's cruel rule, the prosperity of Shanyang County had long disappeared, and the streets were deserted, and pedestrians were passing by by chance. However, due to the demise of Liu Wuzhou, caravans had begun to appear, and Lu Han saw a team of mules and horses entering the city with cargo.

There are several stores near the North Gate. Lu Han looked at it for a moment and found that there was only one grocery store. When he walked into the hall, a short and fat middle-aged man hurriedly came up, "What are you going to buy for your son?"

The owner was very enthusiastic and could see that there were few customers in the store coming to the door. Many of the goods were old and had mold spots. It was probably because the goods were hidden somewhere several years ago and were just taken out.

"I want to ask, is the owner's surname Yang?"

When the shop owner saw that he was not here to buy things, he suddenly lost his enthusiasm and said angrily: "My surname is Yang, what's wrong?"

"Is it called Yang Zheng?"

"Yes! That's right, who is the young master? What's the matter with me?" The man looked up and down and asked.

"I just came from the Turks and I saw your daughter on the side of the Turks."

The shop owner was stunned. After a while, he hugged Lu Han and cried out, "Did you see my Sanniang? Isn't she dead yet?"

"Uncle, she is not dead. She was captured and used as a slave to the Turks. She begs you to redeem her!"

"redemption?"

Lu Han nodded, "Uncle should know how to redeem it!"

The owner hugged his head and squatted down. After a while, he said sadly: "What should I use to redeem her? Where can I redeem her? The store is not mine. I can't even pay the rent and it will be closed next month."

The shop owner suddenly hugged his head and cried loudly, "My daughter!"

Lu Han couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to watch him cry. After a while, when the owner slowly calmed down, Lu Han squatted down and asked, "Do you know how to redeem?"

The shop owner nodded and choked and said, "Trust the caravans north to inquire. If they find someone, they will bring them back. Generally, the price of thirty sheep is about a hundred stale money, including the commission of the caravan. However, few people can redeem it. They either die or can't afford the money. Our people in Mayi County also know some ways. If they are kidnapped in the mainland, they will be separated from life and death."

Lu Han gritted his teeth and took out an inch of gold from his arms, about five taels. This was his entire savings. He stuffed the gold into the store owner, "Uncle, please redeem her. She is a slave to an ordinary family in the Turkic court."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the owner was shocked, "Young Master, I can't ask for it!"

He chased after him, but he did not walk faster than Lu Han. He ran more than a hundred steps and watched Lu Han disappear. The shop owner knelt on the ground and shouted in tears: "Young master's great kindness, let me and my daughter repay you in the next life!"
