Meanwhile, B??ri Khan’s sess had garnered hinbsp; the attention of all the other Rouran tribes, who had sent their own leaders, known as Tegins, to et with hinbsp; as was the ancient custo Now the Tegins stood inside his large yurt, while outside their banners—the black bear, snow leopard, serpent, red fire, and wild stallion—whipped and snapped in the wind. It was the first ti in years that all five of the greatest tribes had gathered in one place.
And it was all because of B??ri Khan.
Looking out over the rough group asseled in his yurt, B??ri Khan eyed each of the leaders. They stood ad a breathtaking array of treasures stolen by B??ri Khan and his n. Piles of silks and scarves and heaps of jewelry littered the roonbsp; haphazardly, as though Khan had so ch treasure he didn’t care if it fell to the floor and got traled upon. He had de sure to provide platters of food and jugs of drink of which a few of the n now partook. However, despite the apparent celebration, the roonbsp; felt tense. The tribes had e to support B??ri Khan, but that didn’t an they supported one another. Their hatred for each other ran deep and true.
“How can I share with Kilifu Tegin?”
Looking over, B??ri Khan saw Tulugui Tegin staring daggers at a sller n across the yurt. Tulugui was perhaps the anest—or at least st verbal—of the bunch. As the roonbsp; filled with rrs, Khan lifted a hand to silence the Then he nodded for Tulugui to continue.
“He and his people have been raiding our cas since the ti of grandfather’s grandfather,” Tulugui finished.
Instantly, Kilifu went on the defensive. “The raids began with your people,” he said, outraged.
“Kilifu is right!” Bati Tegin, the leader of one of the sller tribes, shouted, juing in and cutting Tulugui off before he could respond. “Tulugui also raids ca. I’ve seen it with own eyes!”
The yurt erupted in roars. Brought together, old wounds had quickly reopened. B??ri Khan watched, letting the other n shout and spew insults. He once again lifted his hand, and with a single shout, he silenced the “On and on you go, like a basket of vipers biting each other’s tails.” As he spoke, he took the ti to look at each tribal leader. He wanted thenbsp; all to hear hi “Fighting, tribe against tribe. Do you not see the bounty before you?”
