"You're bold, you haven't learned how to be good last time you fell off the back of a camel! I actually wanted to sneak out of the mountain pass, if the guards hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't know! You say, what do you want to do? The national teacher said angrily.

The queen shrunk her neck and looked at the angry national teacher, as well as Chengyin who swept over with cold eyes on the side.

Lone is really a very aggrieved king! A national teacher, a gentleman, manage it so strictly!

"I ...... I ......" The queen swallowed for a long time, and under the stares of the two of them, she confessed honestly: "I ...... Listening to Tumor, there are small flowers blooming on the edge of the icy lake outside the mountain, and there are red ones, and I want to pick them. ”

"Picking flowers?"

"Well, didn't the people who came back from the caravan say that the women of the Central Plains used red flower juice to paint their nails...... I want to try. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chengyin.

The national teacher was so angry that he turned his head to look at the little guard on the side, and Tomor was so frightened that he shrunk his neck, and hurriedly saluted: "National teacher, national teacher, I have someone to protect the queen." ”

"You protect?! Now at the outpost a hundred miles outside the mountain, there are the Great Khan's lieutenants and retinue, and if they happen to enter the range and capture the queen and take them away, the barrier here will be ineffective! The whole city will be exposed, how can you protect it! "The fire in the belly of the national teacher was all poured into the little guard Tomor.

“…… Erner, I was wrong, don't scold him, it's what I want to go. The Queen's aggrieved plea.

"One > "Read" novel xstxt heard that his childhood sweetheart didn't call himself a national teacher, but called Enar, and the anger of the national teacher immediately disappeared by half.

"What do you want next time, let the maids and guards do it, you can't take a step out, you know?" The national teacher admonished.

The queen nodded hurriedly, and the national teacher glared at the little guard Thomor again, reached out and pinched his back collar, and said, "You come out for me, give me a good explanation, where did the queen sneak away, why didn't the guards follow!" ”

The little guard forced the national teacher out to confess and be lenient, and only Chengyin and the queen were left in the palace.

The queen looked at Chengyin timidly.

Cheng Yin looked at her with a smile.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, the queen got up and walked to Chengyin's side, put her hands behind her back, and admitted her mistake in a low voice.

"Brother Chengyin, I didn't mean to, because red flowers are so rare, I want to ......" Before she finished speaking, tears came out again.

I just want to learn from the beautiful women of the Central Plains to paint their nails and dress up beautifully, will you like me more?

Cheng Yin bowed slightly, took her hand, wrapped it in the palm of her hand, and gently stroked the palm, fingers, and fingertips.

“…… Kodan is not a flower, you need to use impatiens, or mille-feuille, there are no such flowers here, and ordinary flowers do not have so many and so strong flower juice. Cheng Yin patiently explained.

"Then, is there a jade gate?" The Queen asked, looking up.

“…… I don't know, probably not. Cheng Yin shook his head, he thought that the queen wanted the caravan to bring her flower seeds, and persuaded him: "The water and soil here can't grow these flowers." ”

The queen nodded, and then asked, "So, is there one in your hometown?" ”

Hometown?

Cheng Yin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Chang'an?" ”

"Well, Chang'an is the legendary treasure house of the world and the most prosperous Chang'an."

Cheng Yin was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, there are all kinds of flowers there, but if there are flowers, there are more in the eastern capital." ”

The queen listened longingly, then pursed her lips again and folded her shoulders.

"I can't go anyway...... I can't go anywhere if there's no one to guard this place, can I? She said dejectedly.

“…… Maybe there will be a chance in the future, waiting for you to give birth to an heir......"

The queen raised her head sadly, shook her head, and said, "How can you have so much time to wait for me?" Ana (mother) died when she gave birth to her younger brother, and both her brother and she died, and she was only twenty-three years old...... I don't even know if there's a chance to ......."

Cheng Yin frowned, when he arrived here, the queen's mother had already died, so he couldn't see it, if he had come earlier, maybe he would have had the opportunity to meet that woman.

“…… There will be opportunities in the future, with me here, you don't have to be afraid. Chengyin comforted her, "You loved to be sick so much when you were a child, didn't I cure it?" ”

"Hmm!" The queen smiled and showed her snow-white teeth, threw herself into Chengyin's arms, put her arms around his waist, and smiled sweetly.

"Brother Chengyin is the best, you have to stay with me in the future."

Brother Chengyin is very good.

But I can't give it to you later, I can't give it to you all the time.

Cheng Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was coquettish in his arms, and smiled silently.

After seven or eight years of staying here, I have not found the secrets of this mysterious town that can hide the city, or maybe there are no secrets at all.

There are always some things in this world that mortals can't figure out, and how much happiness do mortals give up in order to pursue these unknowns?

For example, the queen's eyes are said to have been inherited from her maternal family, passed down from generation to generation, and guarded the tribe, but now, after looking at it many times through the white veil, Chengyin only thinks that it is an ordinary pair of eyes.

No, not ordinary.

The pupils of those eyes are deep black and pure, and there is love, attachment, grievance, cowardice, and him in their eyes.

With such a strong love, how could he not see it?

……

The scout arrived, the messenger was already waiting at the outpost, and the queen nodded, turned back to the high back of the throne, and untied the white veil from her eyes.

She just stared at the jade carving on the back of her chair, so that the barrier could be opened, and the city surrounded by mountains would appear in front of the eyes of "outsiders".

And the people in the city can move up to the outpost.

When the caravan enters and exits, the queen needs to open the "barrier", and within the outpost, including the glacial lakes and saline-alkali land outside the mountain, can move freely, all within the scope of this "barrier".

Cheng Yin was on the side, silently looking at the queen, he had seen such a scene many times.

It is said that this tribe is honored by women, and the queen's father, Khan, only manages the people of the country, and the most noble is her mother, a woman with extraordinary eyes.

I also came for that woman, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, sitting on the four seas, heard that there was such a magical small country outside Fanbangsai, so he sent himself to visit and pursue.

This search is seven or eight years.

At that time, he was familiar with the caravans of various small countries in Yumen Pass, and then disguised himself as a traveler who had encountered bandits, and took a camel on the return journey of the Jade Fuling Kingdom, and finally entered this mysterious small country.

As soon as he came, he wasted more than 2,000 days and nights.

In fact, it can't be regarded as a waste, after all, there is such a pure and beautiful girl to accompany her.

I am twelve years older than her, and watching her grow up is still quite fulfilling.

Cheng Yin smiled without a trace.

It's a pity that I can't give her "always" companionship.

The emperor's destiny is in his body, no matter how many years, he has to go back to restore his life.

……

To the west of the Jade Fuling Kingdom, there is a powerful khanate, in the south of the Green Mountains, Chengyin has not been there, but it is said that the land of that khanate, extending thousands of miles from east to west, their Great Khan, back then, could be called brothers and sisters with the wolf lord of the north, and the national strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, for the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, this national strength is nothing, but for a small country like the Jade Fuling Kingdom, it is a very powerful country, and the Jade Fuling Kingdom can only survive between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo and Khanate due to its long-term escape from the world and its special geographical environment.

Chengyin hoped that the Yufuling Kingdom could be entitled by the Tang Dynasty as a vassal state, so that on the road to Yumen Pass on the eastern front, he could obtain the protection of the Tang Anxi Protectorate, so as to ensure the survival of the people of this small country.

In fact, if it weren't for the Queen's attachment, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

A small "country" of 6,000 people, if it was under the strength of the Tang Dynasty, a hundred Mo sword soldiers could capture it, but it took him seven or eight years to operate.

Let them live well, dress warmly, eat well, dig medicinal herbs, open jade mines, and have ......

These are all for that jade-like little beauty.

A stupid girl, still chattering, the women in the Central Plains are too beautiful.

She didn't realize her beauty at all, she had just grown flowers and bones, and she was anxious to compare her beauty with the blooming prosperity.

The envoy of the Great Khan brought a delegation of about fifty men, one of whom was personally attached, tall in stature, with an arrogant and flamboyant look in his eyes.

Cheng Yin noticed him at first sight.

At this time, the queen stood on the platform, made the etiquette of greeting the messenger, the messenger bowed under the platform, and then under the leadership of the national teacher, walked up the stone steps on one side, the queen returned to the main hall, sat on the throne, and waited for the arrival of the messenger.

Cheng Yin had been following along, and more than half of the people he observed in the mission were tall Turks, who seemed to want to establish their authority.

The national teacher's gaze also looked over, and the two exchanged a look.

The messenger first conveyed the greetings of the Great Khan, and then sent gifts, and the queen replied one by one according to the words taught by the national teacher before, and gave gifts in return, and then most of the work was done by the national teacher, and the queen was only responsible for smiling, nodding or not expressing a position.

When the banquet arrived, the envoy's entourage began to attack.

First of all, he proposed a wrestling match, saying that he wanted to meet the warriors of your country, which was a common event at banquets, and there was no reason to refuse, so the national teacher arranged for several young and strong guards to wrestle with them.

This kind of small-scale duel, each has its own winners and losers, and in general, it is better to lose more and win less, after all, the warriors of the messengers are one in a hundred.

In the last few games, the opponent's shot was already a little heavy, and sometimes even deliberately ruthless, and the queen frowned a little displeased when she looked at her guard's blue nose and swollen face.

"Your Majesty, it's just a game, aren't you happy?" The entourage, who had been paying attention to Chengyin, smiled, "To be honest, it has been beyond our expectations that your country can win a few games." ”

His demeanor was arrogant, and at this time, he had a sense of superiority as an envoy of a great power, and he did not hide the mockery in his tone at all.

The queen was about to open her mouth to refute, but the national teacher said on the side: "The female protagonist rules the country, unlike men, our queen is kind and benevolent by nature, and only hopes that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be few injuries. ”
