Ke Dun temporarily dealt with the rebellion, but did not return to the Iron Palace immediately. Instead, he led everyone to worship.

After the sacrifice, everyone cheered and Qin Xiao carried Kedun down the mountain again.

Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, they felt that Makido was really loyal to Koton.

After all, Kotun was seriously ill, and anyone who came into contact with the patient might be infected with the plague. However, Muko Hito carried Kotun on his back without hesitation, which was almost risking his life. Such a loyal person is truly admired by everyone.

Ke Dun actually did not want to have physical contact with Qin Xiao at this time. Although the two of them were wrapped in clothes and there would be no direct physical contact, there was still a huge risk.

However, her whole body was weak and she could no longer move on her own at this time, so she could only rely on Qin Xiao.

After coming down the mountain, according to Ke Dun's instructions, the leaders could not return to their respective tribes for a while.

After all, it takes ten days for Hido. After ten days, if Ketun's condition improves, everyone can directly support Ketun as Khan in the Iron Palace. Otherwise, a tribal meeting will be held to select a new Khan. This is related to

The life and death of the people who arrived at the Hegu Department were at stake, and the leaders did not dare to be careless.

According to Ke Dun's instructions, everyone temporarily stayed in the Iron Palace.

Although the Iron Palace is not as majestic as the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, it is not small in scale. There are many buildings in the Iron Palace, and it is easy to arrange for a group of tribal leaders to stay there.

In fact, everyone also understands that letting the heads of the various tribes temporarily live in the Iron Palace is indeed to facilitate the meeting at that time, but there is another important reason. Obviously, Ke Dun is worried about the meeting among the various tribes while he is sick.

There are people with ulterior motives.

Helotai and Dabosun led the rebellion, which naturally gave Ke Dun a warning. She naturally did not want other leaders to return to the tribe and cause trouble again.

Although He Guhan also followed the team back to the Iron Palace, at the tribal meeting, it was clear that he had been deprived of his position as Khan. He did not even dare to say a word against it. Naturally, everyone would not pay attention to him anymore. He could only follow.

At the back of the team, the identity at this time is not even comparable to that of other elder Tutun.

Although Ke Dun is a woman, she is not hesitant in handling matters. When he returned to the Iron Palace, the first thing he did was to order the Bonebreaker to put He Gumo in prison and wait for his punishment.

She then ordered the maids of the Iron Palace to take Qin Xiao to the side palace, but then she asked Qin Xiao to take a bath. The water used for bathing even contained many medicinal materials. She was obviously worried that Qin Xiao would be infected with the plague if he turned his back on her, so she wanted to take a bath as soon as possible

deal with.

Moreover, clean clothes were specially prepared for Qin Xiao. After Qin Xiao took a bath and changed clothes, someone brought food and wine.

Qin Xiao traveled day and night on the road, so he was quite tired. After taking a hot bath, he felt comfortable all over, and after a meal of wine and meat, he felt full of energy.

He originally wanted to see Ke Dun after dinner, but he learned that Ke Dun's trip would consume a lot of money. After returning to the palace, he made some arrangements and rested. He wanted to let Ke Dun recover his strength, so he didn't bother him for the time being.

I had a good sleep myself.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

He did not delay and directly asked to see Ke Dun. This time Ke Dun was brought in immediately. When he saw Ke Dun, he saw that Ke Dun had changed into a light outfit. He did not look like a grassland person. The silk clothes were more like a Tang Dynasty person.

lady.

Although she was sick, her complexion was much better than yesterday, and her figure had not changed. She was still plump and voluptuous, and she looked even more charming when she wore silk and satin. But Dunping withdrew his attendants, and when he saw Qin Xiao coming forward, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.

He shook his head and said: "Don't come close, you sit over there." Pointing to a chair, Qin Xiao knew that Ke Dun was worried about the spread of the disease and could only keep a distance, but he still said with a smile: "Why is Ke Dun dressed in all the clothes?"

"Does it look good?" Ke Dun opened his arms, turned around in a circle, and said in a gentle voice: "You know I have always liked Tang culture. I rarely wear these Tang clothes, so I will wear them today to show you."

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, knowing that Ke Dun must have thought that the end was coming, so he showed his most beautiful side to himself.

Not only was she wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, but she had obviously put on makeup carefully, making her look stunning.

"Good-looking." Qin Xiao nodded and said sincerely: "Ke Dun's style is unparalleled in the world."

Ke Dun chuckled and said: "I don't believe this. There are many beauties in the Tang Kingdom. I am just an old woman on the grassland. How can I compare with the beauties of the Tang Kingdom?" Youyou sighed: "I always wanted to visit the Tang Kingdom. I originally wanted to wait.

When He Gumo can be on his own, I can go to the Tang Kingdom and see the beautiful country of the Tang Kingdom. Now it can only be a dream."

Listening to her words, Qin Xiao felt pity in his heart, shook his head and said: "???????????????Don't say that, as long as you are willing, you can always visit the famous places of the Tang Dynasty." On the chair

He sat down and said, "Nu Yun, are you sure you have contracted the plague?"

This "Nu Yun" made Ke Dun even more tender. His beautiful eyes were full of tenderness. Without answering, he said: "When you came down the mountain yesterday, I knew you would never leave me alone."

"So you understand." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I came here day and night just to see you. How could I abandon you after seeing you?"

Ke Dun stared at Qin Xiao, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you very much."

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

"You treat me like this, even if you really die, I will have no regrets." Luantang Kedun said quietly: "I am satisfied after seeing you once. You...you are busy with your affairs, so you don't have to stay here all the time."

.”

Ke Dun is one of the very few people in the He Gu tribe who knows Qin Xiao's identity. She is naturally aware of the situation in the Northeast. She knows that Long Rui Army and Liaodong Army are facing each other tit for tat in the Northeast. Under such a situation, Qin Xiao can still leave important matters in his hands and come to see him.

She was moved by herself.

Qin Xiao made a ten-day appointment, but Ke Dun knew that Qin Xiao had something to do in the northeast, and staying here for ten days was not a short time for Qin Xiao.

She only thought that Qin Xiao was buying herself ten days, and at least within these ten days, everyone would be in peace.

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "You haven't recovered yet, how can I go back with peace of mind. Nu Yun, I heard that the plague started from the Iron Palace, is this true or false? The Iron Palace is heavily guarded, how could the plague enter the Iron Palace?"

Ke Dun thought for a moment and then said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, and there is only one possibility."

"Oh, what's possible?"

"The plague comes from Bu Liuda." Ke Dun said: "Among the Bu Liuda tribes, there is the Karasuma clan. You should know that in order to deal with the Zhen Yu tribe, He Gu and Bu Liuda once formed allies."

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "I know."

"The Karasuma clan was married to our Fulu clan from Hegu." Ke Dun said: "Back then, the Karasuma clan made a lot of efforts to promote the alliance between Hegu and Buliuda, so after the two parties concluded the alliance, we

Some marriage relationships were formed between them, such as the Karasuma clan and the Fulu clan." Qin Xiao said: "You mean, the plague originated from the Karasuma clan?"

"Nearly two months ago, the head of the Karasuma clan, Karasuma Nobu, passed away. The Fulu family came to report it and asked if they could go to worship. I agreed to the Fulu family's request. The Fulu clan leader was in poor health, so his eldest son

Fuluzhuo went to pay homage. After Fuluzhuo came back, he came to the Iron Palace to resume his life. At that time, he said that Karasuma Yan died of illness, and also said that many people in the Karasuma tribe were sick and their condition was not very good." Ke Dun.

He smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I didn't think about the possibility of a plague, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Qin Xiao was surprised and said: "Did Fuluzhuo bring the disease into the Iron Palace?"

"Of course I didn't have any physical contact with Fuluzhuo." Ke Dun said: "But a few days after Fuluzhu left, Hulan, the maid next to me, became unwell. Hulan is my personal maid, very beautiful, and she always

She started to feel weak, but she didn't explain it clearly to me. She just said she felt unwell. Two days later, she started to feel hot all over her body. I knew something was wrong at that time. After I asked carefully, she told me that Volu

When Zhuo came to the Iron Palace, she was the one who was waiting to see him off. Voluzhuo was so bold that he hugged Hulan when no one was around. Although Hulan was not succeeded by him, he had already been infected with the plague."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "What about Fuluzhuo now?"

"He is already dead, and Hulan has also been quarantined, but the condition is serious and she can't survive for many days." Ke Dun said: "After Hulan was infected, we didn't notice it at first. She was still waiting by my side, changing clothes and bathing.

She served them all, and by the time they found out, it was already too late."

Qin Xiao looked solemn and said: "No one noticed it at the time, and the Iron Palace was not as strict as the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty. The maids in the palace did not pay attention when they came into contact with people, so the disease spread from the palace."

Ke Dun nodded and said: "That should be it. Fuluzhuo entered the Iron Palace half a month ago, and Hulan was infected at that time. Now his whole body is covered with red spots and blisters, and it is very difficult to breathe. This symptom is already on the verge of death."

"I also asked on the way that after infection, the fastest death time is less than twenty days, and the longest time is only a few months." Qin Xiao said: "According to what you said, the longest time you were infected was only half a month.

.But the plague has already spread in Zhenyu, and many people have died. According to this, those people who were infected did not originate from the Iron Palace."

Ke Dun frowned and said: "Karasuma Yan died nearly two months ago. He was the leader of the Karasuma clan, and the funeral was very grand, so the body was kept there for a long time. After receiving the news, the Fulu tribe rushed to Karasuma

When they attended the funeral, Karasuma Nobu had passed away for nearly a month. Voluzhuo attended Karasuma Nobu’s burial ceremony there and stayed there for a while. When he came back to the Iron Palace to resume his life, he had already

It was half a month ago. I later remembered that Voluzhuo was a little abnormal at that time. He kept coughing and was weak when speaking. He also seemed to have red spots on his face."

Qin Xiao sneered and said: "He was infected with the disease in the Wuwan tribe, but his body was strong and the disease developed slowly. The plague in the Iron Palace must have been brought back by this person, but other people in the tribe who were infected with the plague may not have all come from

Rumor has spread from the Iron Palace." He raised his hand and held his chin and said: "The real source of the disease should be from the Karasuma tribe. The Heishan trading center has trade with the Modong tribes, and there must be merchants from the Karasuma tribe going to the Heishan trading center. They passed by

True Habe, so I brought the plague with me."

"We have always had trade relations with the Karasuma tribe." Ke Dun said: "They need our ore, and we sell some to them every year. Yes, after the death of Karasuma Yan, there are indeed two groups of Karasuma merchants.
