(13) Handle
There is a piece of ice and snow in my eyes, and at first glance, I think I have returned to Mobei.
That's right, the previous Mobei. In the era when the climate has not been changed by Jinghua and there is still no grass.
This is a small country in Beiju Luzhou, Xuanhua told him his name, but Qinglan forgot it in a blink of an eye.
He didn't remember the name of this country, but he remembered the name of the girl on the natal grid - Jiang Qiqi.
Coincidentally, she is also surnamed Jiang.
She is the princess of the country, the seventh in line. There was a big brother on it, oh no, there were originally six, but then the six brothers killed each other, and the last one left became the big brother.
The level of chaos is really similar to that of Mobei.
In the freezing cold, Qinglan only wore a thin gown. Far away like a high mountain pine, hunting like a reckless plain chasing green, between heaven and earth, except for the wind blowing his clothes lightly, everything is silent.
The gentleman is beautiful, the wind is clear, the gentleman is silent, and the ambition is cloudy!
He waited quietly on the edge of the cliff of the snowy mountain. He knew she would pass by.
I don't know how long later, a small red dot from far to near in the white white, accompanied by a coquettish cry and exclamation: "Stop! Stinky horse, stop! Ah, help!
Qinglan's handsome eyes lit up, and a woman in a fiery red dress had already reflected in his amber pupils. The white horse under her crotch must have been a rare handsome thing, but in the blink of an eye, he rushed from the foot of the mountain to the front of her at a gallopโ
Cliffs in front of you!
The woman on the horse had already lost her face, and did not dare to look ahead, only tugging at the reins and closing her eyes in despair.
She closed her eyes, and did not wait for herself to fall off the horse and roll down the abyss, but waited for a warm and solid embraceโ
One step further back was the abyss, Qinglan was tall, and with only one hand he restrained the frightened and rampaging horse, and with the other hand gently held her in his arms.
"The subordinates were late in rescuing, which frightened the princess. The young guard said respectfully.
"You, what's your name?" Jiang Yiyi was shocked, clutching her shirt tightly, but when she saw him, her face turned red and she lowered her head again.
"Ah Lan. She heard him say.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah Lan was specially assigned as the princess's personal guard because of her meritorious rescue, and she never left day and night.
The princess likes Ah Lan very much, and she has to drag him with her in everything. Ah Lan is also really good, good looks, good skills, and even more obedient to her.
It's just that there are very few words.
There always seemed to be a lingering sadness in his amber eyes.
"Ah Lan, why are your eyes the color of those colors, different from us?" asked the princess.
"I'm a foreigner. Qinglan said.
"Stranger, where is your hometown?" the princess was curious.
"Mobei. โ
"What is that place? Can Lan take me there?"
Qinglan smiled, he liked this princess, her look and words were like his cousin Jiang Xueli, well, in fact, it was more like-
Jiang Yi when he was young.
The same glamorous appearance, the same arrogant temper.
He likes her, so there is so much sadness, he can't bear her like his mother, from a carefree princess, slowly, step by step towards madness, towards despair.
Yes, she is like his mother, and they will even have the same fate - the princess falls in love with the guard, which always ends in tragedy.
Before leaving, Xuanhua said her life.
She fell in love with her guards and eloped. Then she was chased by her eldest brother and cut off the head of the guard in front of her.
Soon after, she married away from another country and instigated the king to send troops against her homeland. The war lasted for more than 30 years, the wolf smoke burned ten miles of spring breeze, the iron hooves trampled on the picturesque rivers and mountains, the corpses of soldiers piled up, the people were starving all over the wilderness, and riots broke out.
Finally, when she was already full of pale hair. She walked back to the place where she was born, on crutches, through bones and ruins. The place that was once filled with her youth and memories is now desolate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Qinglan listened, she couldn't help but shed tears.
He is not a sentimental person, but that story is too much like his father.
"I'm going to save her! I'm not going to let her become like my mother!" he said to Xuanhua.
Now he sat on the grass with the princess. Fortunately, he came early, and the girl in front of him was still smiling like a flower, as bright as the morning glow.
"Mobei is a far place, but like here, it is full of ice and snow. If we go back together, I can teach you how to ride a horse and teach you archery. He said a lot of things that were unprecedented.
"Really?" the princess's eyes lit up, the kind of girl who had never been far away from home had an infinite vision for the future.
The weather has warmed, and the snow has melted a lot, revealing the green grass.
White horses graze leisurely not far from them. The princess lay back, leaned herself into Qinglan's arms, and sighed: "But I can't bear my eldest brother, Ah Lan." Although he looks fierce, he is my only relative. โ
She just picked a hibiscus and inserted it in her cloud sideburns and mist, full of flowers, morning dew, delicate and delicate.
"Ah Lan, do you know? Big brother seems to want to marry me to the Fire Cloud Country. The princess bit her lip and looked worried, "But I have heard that the king is old and ugly, and that there are hundreds of women in the palace. โ
"The princess doesn't want to go?" Qinglan said.
"Of course not!" she sat up, embarrassed and annoyed, "You fool, don't you understand...... I...... I ......"
She wanted to say goodbye, and her face was flushed.
"I understand. Qinglan shook her hand. She was poorly dressed, and her small hands were a little cold.
He took her hand and put it in his palm to warm it, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Ah Lan understands the princess's heart, and Ah Lan also has a princess in her heart." โ
She smiled.
Approaching his resolute cheek, he tapped his lips.
Somebody untied the horse's reins, and the white horse ran away shyly. The spring breeze blows, the ice and snow melt, and there is a beautiful emotion that has never been seen before, climbing into the girl's heart.
Breeding, spreading, entanglement, concern......
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fire Cloud Country has conquered everywhere, and the 200,000 army has destroyed the four small countries around it, and the flames of war have burned directly on the southwest border!
The princess was trembling as she packed her bags, and she didn't even know what to take with her when she went out, and she was reluctant to throw away her favorite vases and carmine powder.
Qinglan smiled generously, "Princess, when you go out, the more streamlined things are, the better, otherwise it will be a burden." โ
The princess nodded and took the bits and pieces out of the package.
"Princess, if you are afraid, do not go. Qinglan said.
"No, Ah Lan, eldest brother, he has already been defeated, he wants to give me to that king to be his concubine in the three palaces and six courts, I don't want it!" she cried aggrievedly: "Even if I die, I can't marry that kind of extravagant old man!"
Qinglan patted her twitching shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, the princess will not die, and she will not marry the monarch of the Huoyun Kingdom, Ah Lan will protect the princess." โ
He took the white horse, rode it with her, and left the imperial city overnight.
It was a bumpy ride.
There is a dangerous road ahead, and there are pursuers behind. They did not dare to pick the road, and ran in the barren mountains and mountains that were inaccessible. Even though the white horse is a thousand-mile horse, Qinglan and martial arts are world-famous, and he is still nine deaths.
Her luxurious clothes were already covered with dust, her delicate makeup was unkempt, and she didn't even know how far she had run from her palace after she had been gone for days and nights.
"Princess, you hold on a little longer, and when you cross this mountain, Ah Lan will take you to find a Langzhong. Qinglan hugged her and urged the horse more urgently.
Xu was tired from the fright for days, and last night, she suddenly had a high fever, which made her face flushed and her mouth full of blisters.
"Ah Lan, Ah Lan, am I going to die?" she hugged him, crying so much that her eyes were red, the noble and delicate princess never thought that one day she would be embarrassed like this.
"No, Ah Lan is here, and the princess won't die. Qinglan said softly, and tightened her into her arms, so as not to make the horse's back too rough and make her uncomfortable.
"Ah Lan, Ah Lan must not leave me! I have nothing left, I only have Ah Lan. She slipped into his arms and cried.
Leaving her homeland, leaving that imperial city, she is nothing, nothing. She only has the pride hidden in her heart, and the man she loves deeply.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Qinglan took her and fled into the mountains, and gave her the dew between the flowers.
She burned so hard that she thought she was back in the back garden, lying on the grass with her Ah Lan, looking at the stars side by side.
The white horse is psychic, does not need a rein, and does not run around. Instead, she drank some water, and the fever subsided slightly.
"Ah Lan, you can drink some too. She saw that his lips were already chapped and peeled, like a few blades of grass between his satin hair, and her heart ached.
"I'm not thirsty. You're sick, you need to drink plenty of water to get better quickly, you know?" Qinglan fed her a little more, raised the corners of her lips, and her amber eyes were still as bright as the stars in the sky.
She was a little sober, her expression was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Ah Lan, I dragged you down, do you think I'm too willful?"
"Don't say stupid things. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect you from any grievances and injuries. โ
"But, big brother is going to catch up soon, isn't it? we can't escape!" she choked, "I'm not good, I'm too willful." Wait for the big brother to come, he will definitely kill you! Ah Lan, you go quickly, leave me alone, go first!"
"I will not leave the princess. Qinglan said calmly.
"Ah Lan!"
The mountain wind was cold, she was already sick and uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to do at the moment, so she could only hug him tightly and cry.
Heaven and earth are so big, so big that she doesn't know where to go tomorrow, and heaven and earth are so small that they can't tolerate their sorrow and sorrow, and the troubled times.
"Ah Lan, if only it never dawned. As long as it is not dawn, the eldest brother will not come up the mountain and arrest us back. โ
"Ah Lan, do you regret it?"
