Take her away, whether it is flowers or prosperity, as long as she wants, she can accompany her to see the flowers and prosperity all over the world.

But here she was bound.

Why don't you include this in the territory of Datang? Let this be an ordinary border town, take it with you, and let this small country and its people fend for themselves?

Cheng Yin silently clutched the dagger in his hand, leaned against the wooden pillar under the stable porch, and watched them kill the horses and bleed.

"Mr. Chengyin, Mr. Chengyin!" A young man called out with admiration on his face, this was the first time he had seen Chengyin up close, a little excited and a little shy, he scratched his head and saluted respectfully.

"Mr. Chengyin, we have collected the horse's blood according to your instructions, what should we do next?"

Cheng Yin looked at his eyes that were shining because of excitement, and narrowed his eyes slightly, how could he have such a thought?

If this place is really ruined, then all feelings will change taste, and love will turn into hate.

Why bother, why bother?

If you can't stay together, you will fall in love.

Seeing that Cheng Yin didn't answer his question, the young man rubbed his hands crampedly, Cheng Yin smiled and said, "Your technique is very skilled, you are so young, you use a knife well." ”

"I, my family is Orion." He blushed.

Cheng Yin nodded and said, "Take this blood to the outpost, and let *one* book * read *little* that the people at the YBDU outpost will sprinkle it for dozens of miles outside the barrier, and if there is one of its companions in the future, it will avoid it if it smells blood...... especially on the west side, sprinkle more. ”

"West...... That's—" Tumor was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Cheng Yin glanced at him, and he was busy silencing, until he followed Cheng Yin to the stone steps down the mountain, and then asked, "Do you suspect that the Great Khan of the West is the ghost?" ”

"Of course, how can such a good horse be possessed by ordinary people? And this horse is well-trained, at a glance you know that it is not a wild horse, and the mountain will be closed by heavy snow soon, and they should not be able to do anything, and we must be more careful after the snow melts in spring next year. Cheng Yin commanded.

Tomo nodded hurriedly, and followed Chengyin back to the palace in a hurry.

The cold winds are getting colder day by day, and the snow at night is getting heavier day by day, and although the snow is cold to the bone, it also provides a precious source of water for people.

Although Chengyin was born noble, his temperament has always been at ease with what he encounters, even in this desolate desert, he is still idle.

Boil snow to make tea.

Although the tea here is much worse than in the Central Plains, the snow is much purer.

In his room, the small stove is placed by the window, and the pot on it is not delicate at all, even the cup is an ordinary pottery cup, but when he stretches out three fingers and pinches the cup, it will make people feel fluffy and shining.

It is really full of brilliance, this remote palace room with nothing superfluous and simple to poor has instantly turned into a warm and gorgeous palace.

The queen slipped in, stepped forward, and took a sip of tea on Chengyin's hand.

"It's bitter." She stuck out her tongue and couldn't understand why Chengyin likes to drink clear tea, is it delicious to have no milky taste at all?

"Every time you say it's hard, every time you have to try, if you don't learn well, who is to blame?" Cheng Yin looked at the scroll in his hand, picked up the teacup, didn't mind that the queen had drunk it just now, and sent it directly to his lips.

"Add a little milk, and it won't be bitter, really, you can try it, Brother Chengyin." The queen tried her best to share what she liked with Cheng Yin, and took out a piece of cheese held in a sackcloth from behind her like a trick.

It's a pity that Chengyin didn't appreciate it, and the addition of mare's milk, goat's milk, and milk to the tea made him feel disgusting when he thought about it.

"What do you know, tea is to drink this slightly bitter and sweet taste, your milky things, stay away from me." He frowned and waved his hand away from the Queen.

The queen's attempt failed again, and she couldn't understand why Brother Chengyin didn't like to drink milk tea and butter tea, sweet, warm, fragrant, such a delicious thing, Brother Chengyin didn't eat it?

“…… Is it really violent, violent, violent? She tried to persuade without giving up.

Cheng Yin rolled up the book in his hand and made a gesture to knock her on the head, "That's a 'tyrannical thing', why don't you take it away?" Want to copy a book? ”

The queen stuck out her tongue, turned and went out, lifted the curtain, and saw Tumor standing outside, so she shoved the cheese into his bosom, and said, "Now, give it to you." ”

After that, he turned around and lifted the curtain and went back, making Tomor inexplicable, but the queen gave him food...... He pinned his knife to his waist and leaned against the corridor to nibble on cheese.

Before the cheese had finished, he saw two men running from the arrow tower outside the hill in the street below, running along the main road in the middle towards the palace.

The advantage of a small country is that it is clear at a glance, and this palace built in the middle of the mountain basically has a panoramic view of the city below.

After swallowing the piece of cheese in two bites, Tomol wiped his mouth and clapped his hands, and shouted into the drapery, "Queen, sir, it seems that something has happened." ”

In the house, Cheng Yin was holding the queen on his lap, dipped his hand in water, and wrote "violent heavenly things" on the table to correct her half-hung idiom.

Hearing Tomor's words, the queen hurriedly jumped down and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is the caravan in danger?" ”

She is now worried about following the caravan every day, afraid that this not strong Bamboo Horse National Master will encounter some accidents.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like it's from the caravan, it's our guard."

Cheng Yin took down the small furnace, covered it with fire, and said, "Let's go, go to the main hall." ”

As soon as the queen sat down on the throne, the galloping people had already entered, and it was two guards, who hurriedly saluted: "Queen, no, the outpost in front has collapsed!" ”

"Huh? Collapsed! The queen was startled and hurriedly asked, "Is anyone hurt?" ”

"Two people were buried, but they were both dug up, and they were a little injured, but they were not harmed by their lives, and one of them was seriously injured, and he had already pulled back with a mule, and now he was on the way, and we came back to report first." One of the guards reported.

“…… How...... How could it collapse? The queen asked uncomfortably and turned her head to look at Chengyin.

"There has been a lot of wind and snow these days, and the outpost has been established for seven or eight years, and it may be a little decayed...... It is also possible that a migratory ant colony has bitten the pillars...... Check these out later, and look at the injured first. Chengyin comforted.

"But the outpost is very important, if it collapses, the caravan people can't find it when they come back, how can you tell me to open the barrier?" The queen asked worriedly.

Cheng Yin nodded, "I'll go and see now, you tell the craftsmen in the city to prepare the wooden planks and round beams, and then let the doctor go to the arrow tower at the mountain pass to wait for the wounded." ”

As he spoke, he got up and asked one of the guards to prepare his horse.

"Brother Chengyin, you have to be careful! The wind and snow will be even bigger at night. The queen told him worriedly, and followed him to the stone platform outside the palace.

The outpost is a hundred miles away, and the round trip is two hundred miles, and even if you go back and forth that day, you will not be able to come back until late at night.

Cheng Yin snorted and reminded: "The national teacher is not here, and I am not here, you have to sit in the palace, you are not allowed to run around, you have to learn to preside over big and small things." ”

"Got it." The Queen nodded.

"Tomor, you don't need my advice, you know how to do it, right?"

"Know, I'll never leave the Queen." Tomor nodded hurriedly.

Cheng Yin put on his hood and turned over his horse, which was fully equipped with a long sword and bow for his convenience, and he rode it and ran out of the mountain.

The queen watched his back disappear outside the arrow tower of the col, and also turned to arrange for the craftsmen and doctors.

The wind and snow in the past few days have become more and more cold, counting the days, it is also before and after the caravan people have returned, and the national teacher should have already arrived at Yumen Pass, and after a little rest, he will go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Yin always felt that the Great Khan in the west would do something to the west, but now that the weather is cold, it will be impossible to raise troops to attack, but one after another, the horses have collapsed, which makes him have a bad premonition in his heart.

He wore a hood on his cloak and covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, and rode his horse all the way, and the speed of the horse was not too fast on the gravel ground, and when he was halfway there, he saw a cart pulled by a mule, and two men pushed it forward.

He stopped the horse, lifted the face towel, and as soon as the two saw him, they shouted excitedly: "It's Mr. Chengyin!" ”

Cheng Yin nodded, turned over and dismounted, and checked the two people on the cart, and the two of them hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello sir." ”

“…… Thank you for your hard work, go back quickly, the queen and the doctor are waiting for you. Cheng Yin saw that one of the legs was red, and it should have broken the leg bone.

"Sir, are you still going to the outpost?" One person asked.

"Well, what's going on over there?" Cheng Yin turned over and asked.

"We still have more than a dozen people left there, digging supplies, but it's freezing this day, there is no shelter from the cold, it's hard to hold on, people will freeze!"

“…… Got it, I'll take a look and make up my mind. Cheng Yin clamped the horse's belly and continued to brave the snow.

He wants to do everything he can to make that little girl stable and thoughtful, just a little wind and snow, what's it?

If she is really coveted and is in a position where she can't be guarded, how can she let go and go back to Chang'an to restore her life?

This outpost, built for seven or eight years, was rebuilt and strengthened by himself at the suggestion of the queen's father, Khan, so many years have passed, and only six or seven winters have passed, how could it suddenly decay and be crushed by snow?

This is just his own words to comfort the queen.

When they arrived at the outpost, the guards who stayed behind were clearing wood and digging up food utensils that could still be used.

The arrival of Chengyin made them cheer loudly and their morale was greatly boosted.

The men on the desert have always respected people who have the ability and righteousness, and Chengyin can rush to share weal and sorrow with them, so that they have the courage to face a pile of ruins.

"Sir! What did the Queen say? The guards hurriedly asked.

Cheng Yin smiled and said, "As soon as the queen heard that the outpost had collapsed, she was worried that someone would be injured, and she was worried that without the outpost, the people of the caravan would get lost and not be able to enter, so now, the craftsmen and doctors are ready, and the queen asked me to come over to take a look at the situation, worried that you will suffer here." ”
