Chapter 20: Choking is sorrowful

Previous Chapter

The sky was bright, Sima Cuo woke up slowly, but found himself in the carriage, he was so frightened that he got out of the carriage, looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, surrounded by stacks of hay, he stood up and jumped out of the carriage, his head was still a little dizzy, and he shook his head to sober himself up. He looked around in a panic, there was no Yihe and no Nianni, only the whole field, and the rice stalks were squatting on the yellow earth one by one.

"Yihe! Nianni! He shouted, but there was no other sound around him but the whirring wind.

In that room, Nian Ni struggled to prop up her head, and saw Yihe lying on the side in a blurred vision, she gently tapped her head, and after she came to her senses, she quickly shook Yihe awake.

"Yihe! Yihe! Wake up. ”

Yihe rubbed his eyes and stretched a little waist, as if he had slept soundly. Lazily asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Nianni's brows tightened, thinking about something, because all this had happened so evilly. Yihe saw that Sima Wrong's position was empty, jumped up and said, "What about Sima Gongzi?" Where did he go? ”

Nian Ni shook her head, also saying that it was strange, and at the same time ignited a nervous feeling.

"I'll go out and look for him." Yihe turned his head and went out.

"Yihe wait!" Nini called out to her from behind. It's just that as soon as Nian Ni finished calling, Yihe stepped back step by step, his eyes full of horror.

"What's wrong?" Nian Ni walked over to Yihe in confusion until she looked out the door...... There were soldiers standing outside the door, and there was another person walking towards her, and that was her father, Xiao Jing.

"Father...... Father ......" Nianni froze in place at a loss. She was still speeding up yesterday, but this morning is the same scene.

Xiao Jing glanced at Nianni and walked into the room, "Weichen sees the princess, the minister is not well guarded, please forgive the princess." ”

Seeing so many soldiers, she also understood in her heart, "Prime Minister, please get up." ”

"Father, I ......" Nian Ni was about to plead with her father, but was immediately interrupted by Xiao Jing's accusation.

"You should take care of the princess, but now you let the princess commit this danger, your sin, for the father's selfishness." Then he turned and bowed to the princess and apologized.

"Prime Minister, it's not to blame Sister Nianni, I asked her to do this."

Xiao Jing raised his head, and did not dwell on this matter at all, but said flatly, "Princess, Weichen came to escort the princess to Tho Kingdom." ”

At first, Nianni thought that her father was here to pick up the princess and return to Ba Guo, but who knew that she was returning to Tho country.

"Father, no, the princess is going to the country of Tho, it is very dangerous, and I am afraid of my life." Nian Ni anxiously refuted Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing turned around and glared at Nian Ni imposingly, "The king's will, how can you and I be disobedient!" ”

Nian Ni was suddenly speechless.

"Father? …… Father's ...... Will? Yihe couldn't believe that her father would hand her over to Tho Guo, and looked at Xiao Jing who was bowing his head in front of him......

"Princess, the carriage is ready, please go to Tho as soon as possible." Xiao Jing once again asked Yihe to drive.

Yihe looked out the door, as if everything had become a different look, as if he woke up and stepped into another world, the world where blood was once thicker than water and finally reduced to cold and clear streams.

"Okay." Yihe slowly took one step at a time, step after step, each step seemed to have broken the past, the young and carefree laughter was dissipating, and the paper kite soaring in the sky was shredding......

Nini held her and watched her firmly.

Don't...... Can I just watch her die? Don't...... Is this really inviolable? ……

A tear unconsciously fell from the corner of Yihe's eyes, and it was hot and hot......

On the other side, Sima Cuo by the meadow was still worried about the whereabouts of Nianni and Yihe, but he couldn't remember why he came here. Just as he was tossing and turning, a man came on a horse.

"Brother Sima Xian has such a Yaxing swimming in the fields."

"Zhang Yi? How did you end up here? Sima asked in surprise.

"Oh? Could it be that only Sima Xiandi is allowed to come here to enjoy it? Zhang Yi smiled contemptuously.

"Prime Minister Zhang, Sima still has to go to Tho to deal with things, so don't leave it at that." Sima Cuo didn't want to talk to Zhang Yi too much, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yi.

"Eh, Brother Sima Xian, for the sake of two women, you can bear the responsibility for this crime?" Zhang Yi smiled evilly.

"How do you know?" Sima Coo stopped and turned to look at Zhang Yi.

"Hahaha, how do I know that it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the king summoned you to return to Qin immediately, and there is something important to discuss." Zhang Yi stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

Sima Coo stood in place, and after weighing it in his heart, he could only silently apologize to them in the bottom of his heart, the boy is committed to the country and the society, I'm sorry, I have to leave this time, I hope you are safe and sound......

In the end, Sima Coo and Zhang Yi rushed to Qin, while Nianni returned to Tho with Yihe.

…… Rewind the clock to last night......

The old man sweated under the tea water of the three. After the three of them fainted intermittently, the old man didn't know where he got the strength to carry Sima Coo into the carriage, and then after chanting a few words to the carriage, the carriage ran away on its own.

The army of Tho and Xiao Jing stopped in the forest to rest, and at this time a small soldier presented a rolled cloth.

"My lord, this is an old man's family, and he said that he was presenting it to you." Xiao Bing said to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing glanced at Xiao Bing, and then opened the cloth, inside was a hairpin, he remembered that the blue dragon pattern on the hairpin was the pattern of the Pakistani court, so it must be Princess Yihe's. At the same time, it was also written on the cloth: Xibaili. So he asked, "Where is the old man now?" ”

The little soldier lowered his head and said, "After the little one took the cloth, the old man disappeared. ”

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Haha, I guess I don't want to have anything to do with this matter, forget it, let him go." Tell me to go down and set off for the west at once, and be sure to get to the place where the princess is before dawn! He clutched the cloth tightly and turned his back to the full moon.

Returning to Tho, Nian Ni was taken to the wing room where he used to live, while Yihe was taken to the Tho State Council.

In the council hall, King Tho had already sat quietly and waited. King Tho glanced at Yihe and said coldly, "Give the seat." ”

Yihe sat down disdainfully, standing proudly at King Tho. Seeing that this girl was so angry, King Tho became interested.

"Why, the seat of the widow's reward is not worthy of you, the princess?"

Yihe didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't even look at him.

King Tho chuckled lightly and winked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch presented a roll of bamboo slips to Yihe.

"Sent by your father."

Yihe looked at the bamboo slip in front of him and slowly took it and opened it.

It reads:

Now the two kingdoms of Ba Tho want to tie the sleeves well, I am afraid that there is no evidence, so the widow's special purpose, the widow's eldest daughter Yihe, from now on to marry the king of Tho as his wife, into the Qin and Jin Dynasty. hope

My daughter is in the country of Tho, and the widows and all the people of Ba Tho are grateful.

"Qin Jinzhi is good? ......" Yihe spat out word by word, she couldn't believe that the marriage she was doing would come so suddenly, "No! I don't marry, I don't marry! Tears flowed out, Yihe cried bitterly, shook his head and said, "Don't." ”

King Tho looked at the tear-eyed girl in front of him, he didn't come down to comfort him, and spoke indifferently as always.

"Do you know that the two kingdoms of Ba Tho are embattled, the state of Chu and the state of Qin have long been eyeing our royal land, if they are not connected, then the end will only be destroyed, if the two kingdoms of Ba Tho are at war again, the country will become weaker and weaker, and others will reap the benefits of the fisherman. And this marriage can save thousands of people from dying in the war, and how many lives and deaths will be reduced, do you know? ”

"Heh, life and death? Bear? …… What's the fun in this life? The silkworms are dead, and what is the sorrow? Heheha......" she smiled wryly, like crazy...... The laughter echoed in the sky above King Tho's palace. The laughter, laughter, laughter, and tears were gone. The last tear fell low in the palm of the hand, cold and cold.

Nianni stood by the window, she seemed to sense the coldness in Yihe's heart. Between the sleeves, a piece of cloth fell out of nowhere. She opened it in confusion, and the cloth read: Shun or not, all Shun; Contrary to violation, how to violate.

It turned out that this cloth was left by the old man to Nianni......

Yihe in the hall looked at King Tho with his cold heart.

"Good. But you have to promise me. From now on, we will no longer be enemies of Pakistan and will be friendly forever. ”

King Tho nodded, and in that eye, there was an oath of no regret in this life.

Within Pakistan. Xishuoting.

"Lord Wang, Lord Xiao Shu has been found."

Shu Huai was practicing swords in the courtyard, and after hearing the news, the last sword cut a leaf in half.

"Now that she has been found, it is time for us to return to Shu."

Shu Huai put away his sword, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

This palace city, another person left.

After receiving permission, Nian Ni cautiously walked into Yihe's wing room and stood quietly beside Yihe. They all looked at the bronze mirror, at themselves in the bronze mirror. Who is the person in the mirror......

"Yihe ......"

"Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Yihe interrupted Nianni's words and said with a reluctant smile.

"......" Nianni didn't know what to say, so she could only stop Yihe in her arms, this friend who had been with her for a few days was better than a few years, no, she really regarded her as a sister. Now the little man leaning on her arms seems to have grown up overnight, but he no longer cries. Nian Ni suddenly missed the girl who pointed to the moon and laughed with her a few nights ago, the lively, carefree sister...... At that time, the biting evening breeze was still warm in my heart......

And now, after Yihe leaned for a while, she took the initiative to leave Nianni's embrace, she stood up, turned her back to Nianni, and walked to the bed melancholy.

"Sister, after returning to Pakistan, remember to help me tell my father that I have never regretted being her daughter......" The remaining unspoken words, she cried faintly in her heart and said, "Even if I am just a tool for him, a political bargaining chip, a victim destined in the struggle for the royal land......

Nianni nodded, she didn't remember the last time she cried, and today, she looked at Yihe's back and unconsciously left tears. "Good. I will pass it on. You have to be good. ”

Seeing that Yihe ignored her, Nian Ni left the room and closed the door.

Yihe stood in place, listening to the sound of the door gradually closing, and her heart was tightly locked from then on......
