Chapter 45 Mountain Road
The Winter Festival, in the middle of November every year, is considered a great day in Turkic.

Turkic people believe in Changshengtian. When the winter solstice comes, Turkic people will go to the mountainside of Jinshan Mountain, slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare many sacrifices, and worship Changshengtian, hoping that the weather will be good and everything will go smoothly in the coming year.

Counting the days, today is indeed the Turkic winter festival, which is the day when the Turkic people worship the Longevity Heaven, so Ashinayun's words are not nonsense.

Li Ke listened to Ashinayun's words, and his first reaction was that Jieli saw that he would not buy Princess Yicheng's account, so he decided to go out on his own to match Li Ke and Ashinayun, so as to control Li Ke, so that in the future Take control of Datang.

But Li Ke thought about it carefully, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Jieli is proud of himself, and Ashinayun is his favorite young girl, who is regarded as the pearl of Turkic. With Jieli's temperament, it is unlikely that Ashinayun will take the initiative to show affection to Li Ke.

A trace of vigilance arose in Li Ke's heart.

Li Ke asked Ashina Yun: "Winter Festival is a big day for Turkic people. I am from Tang Dynasty, not Turkic. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go there rashly."

Li Ke felt that something was wrong. Li Ke was always cautious, so he naturally didn't want to take this risk, so he wanted to decline it.

Ashinayun seemed to have known that Li Ke would decline. As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, Ashinayun took out a token engraved with a wolf's head from his arms, and said to Li Ke: "I know you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Please don’t move you, but can’t even Father Khan invite you? Father Khan has an order, please accompany me to Jinshan to worship, you have to go, or you have to go.”

Ever since Ashinayun took out the token of Jieli Khan, his face suddenly became hardened, and he was no longer coquettish and coquettish. Obviously, Ashinayun didn't want to take out this token either. Token's.

However, when Ashinayun took out this token, Li Ke had no choice. He was the proton of the Tang Dynasty, and although he was not a Turkic citizen, he was in the Turkic territory.If Li Ke dared to openly disobey Jieli Khan's order, Ashinayun could even order him to be killed on the spot. At that time, not only he would suffer, but also the nearly [-] Tang missions behind him.

Li Ke had no choice but to cup his hands at the token in Ashinayun's hand and said, "Since the Khan has orders, Li Ke should obey them."

"That's good." Seeing Li Ke submitting, Ashinayun smiled triumphantly, and took the token back to himself.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

It was already mid-November at this time, and it was the middle of winter, and the weather in Turkic was extremely cold.

Li Ke was wearing thick fox fur and a big cloak, and the moment he pushed open the tent door to go out, the cold wind hit his face, and he couldn't help shivering.

Li Ke's reaction caught Ashinayun's eyes. Ashinayun looked at Li Ke and said with a smile: "It's cold today, but it's not the coldest day in Turkic. , are you going to be too cold to go out?"

Ashena Yun has a childish nature, and always likes to compare with Li Ke in various aspects. In other aspects, it is difficult for her to beat Li Ke, but she is very proud of being able to bear the cold.

Naturally, Li Ke would not be naive enough to argue with Ashinayun. He looked at Ashinayun's complacent look, and then at Ashinayun's little cheeks flushed red from the cold, and he just smiled lightly, with a big smile on his face. It means you are happy.

Li Ke took Su Dingfang and walked behind Ashinayun, and he arrived at the foot of Jinshan Mountain not long after. Sure enough, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he could see people rushing to climb the mountain in small groups, carrying beef and mutton. , to go up the mountainside where worship. .

Ashinayun pointed to the direction of the mountainside, and said to Su Dingfang who was behind Li Ke: "It's the mountain pass for worshiping Changshengtian to climb the mountain. Father Khan has an order. Only Proton is allowed to climb the mountain alone, and no one else is allowed to set foot."

This is the place where the Turkic Winter Festival is sacrificed, the Holy Land of the Turkic, not to mention Su Dingfang and other Tang people. What Yun said was not fabricated.

But Su Dingfang guarded Li Ke. This was an order Li Shimin handed over to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang said to Ashina Yun: "The final general is ordered by my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to guard His Highness with him and not to leave an inch. I hope His Highness will accommodate you."

Ashinayun has seen Su Dingfang's ability before. An elite personal guard who is attached to Jieli Khan can't survive a move under his hands. If she keeps Su Dingfang by Li Ke's side, what chance does she have? Can still succeed.

Moreover, Ashina Yunben also had no intention of hurting Li Ke, and just wanted to teach him a lesson. If Su Dingfang came with Li Ke, the two parties would inevitably fight, and the matter would become a big mess. This is definitely not Ashina. Cloud wants to see.

Ashinayun resolutely refused: "This is Turkic, General Su, please abide by my Turkic rules."

Of course Li Ke didn't know why Ashinayun came here, but since Ashinayun had already brought Li Ke here, maybe it was Xieli's intention.

Moreover, offering sacrifices to the Changshengtian is a major event on the grassland, and all the ministries are very pious and valued. If Li Ke and Su Dingfang offended the various ministries of the grassland because of this time, the price would be too great.

So Li Ke had no choice but to say to Su Dingfang: "The so-called do as the Romans do, since this is a Turkic rule, then follow it. What's more, this king is ordered by the Khan, so it should be safe."

Su Dingfang stared at Li Ke for a moment, as if struggling for something, and then let go.

"Promise." Since Li Ke had already spoken, it was inconvenient for Su Dingfang to insist, so he immediately agreed and stayed at the foot of the mountain to wait.

Although the Jinshan mountain road is not too steep, it is also difficult to walk. In addition to the heavy snow for several days, the mountain road has been covered with a thick layer of snow clothes, so we can only ride a horse and move forward slowly.

It was Li Ke's first time here, and he was not familiar with the mountain roads, so he could only follow Ashinayun's back. At first, it was okay, and there were people coming and going, but walking, it took about half an hour. After a while, Li Ke found that the flow of people became more and more sparse, and there was no one else to see except themselves.

Li Ke raised his head, looked at the increasingly desolate path in front of him and the thick snow on both sides of the road, and thought that Ashinayun might have other thoughts, and his heart suddenly became agitated.

"Shouldn't we take the main road to worship on the mountainside? Why are there so few people here, and there are no pedestrians around?" Li Ke asked cautiously.

Seeing that Li Ke saw the clue, Ashinayun said to Li Ke: "Don't worry, this is a small road leading to the mountainside, which is much closer than the main road, but very few people know it, you can't go wrong if you follow me. "

Li Ke looked at Ashinayun's reaction and became more and more worried. He looked around and said to Ashinayun: "Your Highness Yun, don't lie to me. I was just watching from the bottom of the mountain. The temple for sacrifice is on the east side of the mountainside." , but we have been walking to the west side of the mountainside, how can there be such a shortcut?"
