Chapter 221: Parting
Murong Huaide shook his head, turned around the room twice with his hands behind his back, and the palpitations in his heart not only did not weaken but became heavier, remembering that before the previous disaster, Dong Rong had also had such a warning signal, so he ordered, "I will write a letter, you send it to the Northern Barbarian King City, and hand it over to the second prince in person." The trading time was two days earlier to get him ready. ”
"Two days in advance? That's a five-day deal! "It will take four days for the grain to be ready at the earliest, is it too hasty to trade that night?" ”
"No, just do as I say." Murong Huaide insisted, waved his hand, quickly wrote a few lines, sealed them in a bamboo tube, and handed them to Jia Yi.
Jia Yi was helpless, so he had to take the bamboo tube and flash out of the door. Murong Huaide looked at the trembling door and was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. He was born in Daqi and grew up in Daqi, how could he not care about the rivers and people of Daqi? But his wife, whether he is a stupid boy of the Cao family who is greedy and stupid, or the prince of Daqi, has never given up on him! Now that she is in trouble, he will take her own life to take her back safely. Even if he has to endure the infamy of the ages and avoid guarding the remote islands, he will never regret it!
Xu is consciously returning home is getting closer and closer, and the smile on Dong Rong's face is obviously much more. Although she also had a lot of worries in her heart, the joy of going home to be reunited was more than a qiē. Human nature is selfish, if she must choose between family and righteousness, she will definitely choose her family. Choosing righteousness is a hero's approach, she is a woman, and selfishness is justified.
Since he got Amma's permission, Gardi has almost grown up in the yurt, except for sleeping at night, and the rest of the time he is around Dong Rong. Dong Rong misses the child, and all the motherly love is naturally transferred to him.
On this day, all the toffee that had been prepared before was eaten, and Galdi refused to eat. Dong Rong couldn't, remembering that she was going to leave soon, so she called Zizhu to find frosting and milk, and then made milk candy for Galdi herself, which could be regarded as a memory for Galdi, a poor child.
After a busy day, everyone achieved remarkable results, and they actually got a jar full of toffee. Gardi's mouth was crooked with joy, and he refused to leave until he had eaten dinner. Zizhu was very sleepy, thinking that she still had to wait for her master to wash, so she wanted to pick someone up. Dong Rong smiled and waved her hand, then stepped forward and hugged Gardi's thin body, and said softly, "Big brother, go back and sleep well and have a good dream." At last she bowed her head and kissed the child on the forehead.
Sure enough, Gardi immediately blushed, nodded in a panic and ran away with the jar.
Zizhu was stunned, and then giggled, "When did this big brother develop this temper, it's so funny, he laughs like a little girl." ”
Dong Rong nodded her forehead and said angrily, "You girl, just talk about it in private." In front of the eldest brother, he can't say that he is the time to be face-saving at this age. Besides, this child has no mother since he was a child, and I should hurt him a little, and when we go back to Daqi in the future, we can't do it even if we want to hurt him. ”
"Got it, ma'am."
Galdi, who turned around and came back to get his hat, happened to hear the conversation between the master and servant clearly outside the yurt, and his face gradually darkened, and he went to the yurt next to him with the jar instead.
Geriltu was discussing the details of the transaction with Uqien and Batu, two powerful henchmen, when he suddenly saw his son coming to find him, so he motioned for Uqien and the two to retreat, and finally asked, "Gardi, did you come late at night, but there was something wrong?" ”
Gardi rarely gets along with his father on weekdays, and treats him more with respect than closeness. If he would never dare to look for it like this on weekdays, but today he really couldn't help but want to keep that woman, and he couldn't bear the warmth he had hoped for since he was a child.
"Amma, can't you leave Aunt Dong behind? I... I want her to be my mother! ”
Ge Riletu was stunned for a moment, and then saw that his son was anxiously waiting for his answer, he sighed again, beckoned his son to step forward, half-squatted down to meet his gaze, and then said slowly, "Galdi, the reason why eagles can soar in the sky is because they can spread their wings. Your Aunt Dong is the eagle in the sky, and we are the cage here, if Amma leaves her behind, she will never be able to fly again, and she will even die slowly in the end. You... Want her to die? ”
Gardi quickly shook his head, but still asked in confusion, "Amma, can't you build a big yurt for your aunt, even more spacious than Marfa's palace?" ”
Griletu smiled bitterly, patted his son on the shoulder, and responded, "Ama has built the largest palace in the world, and your aunt won't like it." Because there is no husband here, no children. ”
Gardi seemed to understand something, hugged the jar in frustration, and replied sullenly, "The child knows, but Amma, when the aunt leaves, can the child go and see her off?" ”
Gřiltu was about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind, "Okay, you have to do what you are told." ”
"Yes, Amma!" Gardi straightened his back, and a smile finally appeared on his face. Finally, he took the toffee jar and went back to his yurt.
Uqien and Batu sent a little master, entered the yurt again, and saw his Royal Highness looking at the candle flame in a daze, the two looked at each other and said, Batu began to hurry to send the princess away early, but Uqien remembered a petite and pretty girl but sighed, and then looked up at the master A little more sympathy...
doesn't mention what the three of them think, just say that Dong Rong has to pinch her fingers these days to calculate that she can return home, and at the same time, she is secretly probing the movements of Dajin's soldiers and horses, for fear that they will immediately send troops to attack Daqi when they get food and grass, then their husband and wife will be deeply guilty. Fortunately, although some tribes often sent soldiers and horses over these days, most of them were sent back, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to be stationed outside the royal city.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally woke up from the nightmare when she slept at night.
Although the days passed slowly, they still came to an important moment. On this day, the sun had just sunburst above the surface, and the grassland covered with snow was extremely cold. The 10,000 cavalry had already lined up outside the royal city, and Geriltu was dressed neatly, and as soon as he left the yurt, he saw Dong Rong's master and servant and Gardi waiting for a long time. The cold wind blew Dong Rong's face slightly red, but she didn't seem to feel the cold at all, her arms were around Galdi, and her eyes were looking south.
A look of gloom flashed on Geriletu's face, but he still stepped forward and smiled, "I've kept you waiting, let's go, we have to rush to the military city before dark." ”
Dong Rong hurriedly nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll ride a horse with Yunrui, but Zizhu wants..."
"I'll take her!" Wu Qien didn't wait for Dong Rong to finish speaking, and then preemptively said, "Mrs. Dong, don't worry!" ”
Zizhu blushed for some reason when he heard this, and retorted, "I don't want you to bring it, you almost froze me to death last time!" ”
But Ukien didn't let her say more, picked her up and threw her on horseback. Su De came out of nowhere, held a package in both hands and sent it to Dong Rong, and said with a forced smile, "Noble, these are the two mushrooms you love to eat on weekdays." The old slave has prepared some, and I ask you to take it back for a thought. ”
Dong Rong hurriedly took it, bent down and thanked sincerely, "Thank you, uncle, we are really grateful for your care these days." ”
Su De hurriedly stepped aside, and finally had the courage to ask his Highness, "Your Highness, today's miscellaneous old slaves have been arranged." You can also allow the old slave to send the nobleman, and the old slave can also help take care of the eldest brother..."
Geriltu frowned, and was about to reprimand when he saw the eldest prince Amur hurrying over, he whispered to everyone, "Hurry up and get on your horse and prepare to go." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the eldest prince, and the brothers pretended to greet each other. Amur glanced at the people who were ready and asked with a smile, "Second brother, isn't there still three days left for the transaction, why did you set off?" ”
Griletu deserves to be understated, "It's a big deal, I'll hurry up and make some preparations." In case a villain gets in the way, I'm easy to deal with. ”
Amur's face stiffened for a moment, but then he laughed again, "Second brother is too worried, you are running around for my big gold, how can anyone be so ignorant?" Since the second brother is in a hurry, let's hurry up, and when the second brother returns successfully, I will hold a banquet to celebrate you! ”
"Okay, Brother Xie!"
Gřiltu got on his horse, bowed his hand again to Amur, and galloped out of the royal city with the horse carapace. Batu followed with 10,000 cavalry, and for a time the horses' hooves rumbled, and the snow splashed, so startled that the cattle and sheep all stretched their necks and screamed.
Amur's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, and a faint look of viciousness flashed between his half-closed eyes. It wasn't until the horse team ran away that he waved his hand and beckoned his henchmen behind him to step forward, and commanded in a low voice, "I'm afraid things will change, arrange for five hundred warriors to catch up and find an opportunity to leave him outside." In addition, the two 'Han dogs' should also be let go and let them have a message for their master. And also... It's time to arrange the affairs of the royal city. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The man whispered and hurriedly went down to make arrangements, leaving Amur looking at the sun that had just jumped out of the ground, and muttered to himself, "The grassland is mine, and it can only be mine, and no one wants to rob it!" ”
The mischievous north wind passed by him, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly slipped away quietly. Compared to the sinister human heart, it is the most gentle and harmless...
In the mountains at night, the shadows of stones and trees are mixed together, very much like a monster that wants to devour it, and the howling cold wind seems to deliberately lengthen the thin voice when it arrives, and it whimpers tactfully, filling in three points of gloomy horror.
The widest place in the middle of the secret cave that connected the Great Qi and the Northern Barbarians was already full of grain bags at this time, and Murong Huaide took a dozen of his subordinates, scattered behind a few dangerous and easy to defend stones, and listened attentively to the slight sounds in the darkness.
Jia Yi quietly touched back from the end of the cave, and only after the code did he step forward and scolded quietly, "How did these Northern Barbarian cubs discover such a secret?" No wonder the last time I chased here, I was gone! ”R638
