Chapter 204
"Wait, wait. You can either search for it," Toya snorted, "If you have the guts, you can go to your father and complain." β
"I won't sue, and I won't make you feel better." Ilemo flicked his horsewhip, rolled over and got up, and shouted at the slaves who were groaning on the ground, "A bunch of rice buckets, don't hurry up and leave!" β
Xiao Duo's eyes were cold, this person coveted Ah Luan and didn't say anything, and he also said some pickled words in his mouth, killing him polluted his sword, but it was even more impossible to let him go so easily! Because the other party is the eldest son of King Huolian, he can't do it in public, but the evil breath in his heart really can't be swallowed, and he can't wait!
His mind moved, and he immediately turned his head to look at Wang Xu, and whispered, "Ning Guo." β
Wang Xu's eyes flashed like a cold star, and he understood its meaning in an instant, and suddenly rushed out like a sharp arrow off the string, and the sword in his hand was pointed directly at Ilemo, as if he was going to kill him in the next moment!
"What do you do?" Arislan was shocked.
Although he wanted to kill Ilmo out of personal grudges or for the heart of the crown prince, he couldn't kill him in public. When the time comes, not only will Prince Duan and his cousin be inseparable, but he and his sister will also be implicated, and he immediately shouted: "Don't be reckless!" β
In just a moment, Wang Xu rushed into the pile of guards, startling a group of remnants to flee in all directions, Ilmo's face turned white with fright, and he said in a panic: "I am Prince Huolian...... He is tall and big, but he only has brute strength, and he knows that the other party's martial arts are almost weird, and he can't help but instinctively hold his head and dodge, "Help!" β
Wang Xu waited for this opportunity, taking advantage of the chaos, taking advantage of the fact that he didn't see it, just like he did to Princess Ningguo at the beginning, he used internal force to urge the stones and shake the stirrups out of a crack!
Arislan quickly chased after him, grabbed Wang Xu, and shouted: "Stand down! β
Wang Xu had already succeeded, but he only reluctantly withdrew his sword with an honest and obedient appearance, and then watched Ilmo flee in panic.
Arislan breathed a sigh of relief, "Although my eldest brother is a little arrogant, but ......" originally wanted to say a few words of hypocritical brotherhood, but it was unnecessary to think about it, so he simply said directly: "Ilmo will be avenged for his eyes, and he is very vindictive, so during your time in Huolian, remember to be careful and try not to conflict with him in person." β
Xiao Duo said politely: "Thank you for the reminder." "The stirrups of the princes and nobles are more delicate, covered with cowhide, and there is no clue from the appearance, I hope Wang Xu did not miss this time and can succeed in one fell swoop. Don't ask to fall to death Ilmo, as long as he falls and is injured, it is an entry point that kills him.
"Toya, you accompany your cousin and them back." Arislan looked at his sister and said, "I'll go to my father and explain it first, so that Ilermo won't add fuel to the vinegar and sue or instigate the eldest concubine to make trouble." β
Toya nodded, "Brother, go ahead." β
Xiao Duo smiled, "Let's go, let's go back too." β
Feng Luan turned his head to look at him, and there was a faint suppressed anger between his eyebrows.
Xiao Duo knew what she was angry about, but it was inconvenient to say more. The group went back to the tent, sent Toya away, and drove Wang Xu outside, only to stare and say, "Angry? You're so worried about him. β
"Smack!" Feng Luan raised her hand to slap him, but she didn't hit him in the face, but he grabbed her hand, her eyes were full of anger that she couldn't hide, "You don't want the wicked to sue first!" You let Wang Xu put his life in danger, in case it is revealed afterwards, you can infer that my slave is too impulsive, and handed over Wang Xu's head, which has nothing to do with your Royal Highness! β
"Are you distressed?" Xiao Duo held her hand tightly and asked, "Isn't Wang Xu a minion?" Shouldn't he be faithful to his master? Do you want me to personally go up and do something, and then make a rumor that the prince of the Central Plains Imperial Court killed Prince Huolian, so that you, the children, and the entire Duanwang Mansion will take risks? He couldn't understand it at all, "I didn't let Wang Xu die, you actually ...... and lose your temper for him and me?!" β
Feng Luan looked at him-for-tat, and said, "So what?" It surged to his throat and swirled for a long time, but in the end he didn't say it. You can make trouble with Xiao Duo as much as you want, but Wang Xu can't afford to get involved, so why hurt him? Hehe, His Royal Highness King Duan's calculations are really powerful, and he uses Wang Xu as a gunman, and he can still tell himself to shut up obediently.
Her body shook slightly, and she turned her head away from looking at him.
"Not angry again?" Xiao Duo's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light flickered, but the corners of his mouth outlined a smile, "You feel sorry for him, and you are afraid that you will make me angry and implicate him, so you don't dare to make a big fire, right?" There was indescribable bitterness and pain in my heart, "Ah Luan, you can really hurt people." β
Feng Luan closed his eyes and said coolly: "Anyway, it's not right for me to argue, it's for him; It's not right not to be noisy, it's still for him. She smiled lightly, "What does His Highness want me to do?" You say, I do. β
Xiao Duo was stunned for a moment by her question.
That's right, she quarreled with herself for Wang Xu, and she felt uncomfortable; But she endured her anger for Wang Xu, and she felt even more uncomfortable. How? It's not that complicated,ββ let Wang Xu die, she will definitely not agree; Then, "Let him leave you." β
"Why?!" Feng Luan's eyes were filled with tears, she asked herself not to cry, but she didn't know if she was angry, wronged, or something else, she just couldn't control it. She tried her best to widen her eyes to see the unsympathetic man in front of her, and asked one after another, "Why can my heart be doubted and tempted by you?" If you don't treat me well, won't you allow others to treat me well? Why do I have to guard you all my life, sad and sad for you? β
Tears of anger welled up in her eyes, "What are you doing for you?!" You don't deserve it! β
"We can do it all over again." Xiao Duo pleaded.
"Hehe......" Feng Luan laughed so much that tears splashed, like a pear blossom with dew drops after the rain, "You touch your conscience and count it, how many times have you said this?" You can just want it, doubt it if you want to, and then you can erase everything with a single sentence, right? "Tell you, I don't want to do it all over again." β
"Ah Luan, you have to resent me like this for the rest of your life."
"It takes strength to hate people." At this moment, Feng Luan suddenly understood her mother's state of mind back then, why she was laissez-faire to her father and didn't care about Aunt Gong and others,ββ rather than spending her energy on a man who was affectionate, it was better to have some fun by yourself, it was better than crying and crying for a lifetime.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, "Don't worry, I don't even want to hate you." β
This is probably the most heartless word in the world.
Xiao Duo couldn't help but let go of his hand, a little suddenly, as if a large piece of his heart had been dug up, and even the anger that she had been angry about protecting Wang Xu before dissipated in an instant. My heart was empty, as if I couldn't save anything, "Ah Luan." He said with difficulty: "I only think you are angry, I don't believe it, you are angry in your heart, I will wait for you to ......, one day you will be angry." β
"Then you wait until the heavens and the earth are old!" Feng Luan wiped the tears on his face and brushed his sleeves away.
Autumn is high and refreshing, the breeze is gentle, this moment is the colorful and splendid time of the sunset, looking ahead, the milky white tents are dotted with stars below, dotted in the meantime, a scene of sky and grass.
Wang Xu was standing not far from the outside of the tent, and when he saw her come out, he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
Feng Luan turned around and went to the other end.
Wang Xu's footsteps moved, but in the end, ......, he still didn't keep up.
******
"King!" Concubine Huo Lian knelt on the ground and cried: "Ilmo went out to hunt, but was bullied by Prince Duan's people, and the guards were all seriously injured, and none of them could see it. With an angry face, "Even if Prince Duan is the prince of the Central Plains Imperial Court, and Ilemo is also your eldest son, you can't watch him being bullied like this......" She wiped her tears and choked up: "Ask the king to call the shots of Ilemo, otherwise, the majesty of our grassland will be destroyed by the Central Plains." β
Arislan stood beside him, pursing his lips and saying nothing.
Tasitu frowned, his two thick black eyebrows twisted into curved swords, and his gaze was fierce, "Why didn't Ilmo come for himself?" There is always a cause and effect of things, call him and explain it to me clearly! β
Concubine Huo Lian glanced at Arislan resentfully, it was him, it must be this little cub, who was playing right and wrong in front of the king in advance. It's just that he didn't dare to have a seizure in front of him, let alone say that his son was too timid to come, and cried and explained: "Ilmo fell his leg and couldn't move, I, I'll call someone to pass him over." β
"No need!" Tastu said angrily: "He got into trouble, he didn't even have the courage to come over to see his father, and he instructed his mother to come and complain, what kind of prince of the steppe is he?!" Go back and tell him that a coward is not worthy to be my son of Tastu! β
Concubine Huo Lian was shocked, not good, the complaint was not successful, but it made the king angry.
Tasitu knows very well the character of his eldest son, he has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child, and he is so strong, if this matter was really his reason, he would have jumped over and sued him. Thinking about the situation, as Arislan said, it was Ilmo who humiliated his sister first, and then wanted to forcibly take his sister's "maid", that was Prince Duan's princess, how could Prince Duan not be angry? Then Ilmo was cleaned up, and he couldn't beat him, and he didn't dare to come to complain, so he had to instruct his mother to come over.
Concubine Huo Lian wiped her tears, "King, I'll go to Ilmo." β
But she had not been gone long ago, and when she returned, she rushed into the tent as if she had gone mad, and cried bitterly: "King! Ilmo fell off his horse, he tripped over the stirrups and did not break free, hit his head first, fell on the neck, and was speechless. β
Arislan was shocked when he heard this, "Father, let's go over and have a look." β
Tasitu also frowned, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked out of the tent with a meteor.
On the other side, Feng Luan blew a cool breeze outside, and it was dark, so he had to go back. Like a little girl, she can't do it regardless of her body's anger. It's not a joke that gets a headache and fever, it's a grassland again, and the medical conditions are not as convenient as the Central Plains, so don't toss your life anymore.
She went back to Toya's tent, and Wang Xu followed, not far away or close all the way, without speaking.
When Toya saw Feng Luan, she couldn't help but show surprise, "Why are you back again?" He pointed to Xiao Duo's side, "Don't you have to be with Prince Duan at night?" β
"No, you don't." Feng Luan smiled.
Toya wanted to ask again, but when she saw Wang Xu shaking her head lightly behind her back, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, turned her back on her, and made a lip shape and asked, "Quarreled?" Seeing him nodding, he hurriedly nodded, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Cousin, let's talk quietly together tonight." β
"Okay." Feng Luan was not very energetic and said perfunctorily.
Toya was innocent and clear-looking, but not completely ignorant, and seeing that she didn't want to talk much, she went to bed, and only muttered a few words before turning over and falling asleep, not bothering her anymore.
Feng Luan is a little bit of a bed, and he sleeps with strangers, so he is not used to it, and he almost can't sleep at all if he has something on his mind. Because he was afraid of waking up Toya over and over again, he could only lie still, but after staying up all night, he not only had eye circles, but also had back pain.
When they came together in the morning, Wang Xu frowned when he saw her, "I didn't sleep well last night." β
"Hmm." Feng Luan stood outside the tent and pinched his shoulders, looking at Xiao Duo coming over here, not wanting to pay attention to him, but it was inconvenient to twist and pinch, and besides, could he hide for the rest of his life? bowed slightly, "The prince is early." β
"Here you go." Xiao Duo spoke gently, took her hand back to his tent, and suddenly sank his face, "It's okay for you to be angry with me, just practice yourself like this?" Would you rather sleep badly than suffer outside? He pointed to the bed, "Wait for breakfast, go and sleep by yourself!" β
Feng Luan lowered his head and was silent, and after eating, he couldn't stand his sleepiness and lay down.
Xiao Duo sat quietly beside him, his face gloomy, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking. After a while, Gao Jinzhong slipped in quietly and said in a low voice: "There is news from outside, saying that Prince Ilmo broke his neck yesterday and can't get up now." β
"When did you fall?" Xiao Duo only cares about this.
Of course, Gao Jinzhong understood what his master meant, and hurriedly added: "It's after I go back." The concubine told Ilmo to go to the king's tent to speak, but the stirrups broke and the other man was so heavy that he broke his neck. β
Xiao Duo sneered lightly, "So, I still have a breath left." β
"Yes." Gao Jinzhong replied.
Xiao Duo looked out of the door, Wang Xu was guarding outside like the door god, there was no expression on his face, only the breeze slowly blowing the corners of his robe, dancing endlessly. I couldn't help sneering in my heart, amazing, the strength is so accurate, and what is even more powerful is that he has this means,ββ he is just a eunuch, otherwise it will be even more difficult.
Toya came in from outside, surprised, "Ilmo ......"
Xiao Duo waved his hand at her, then walked out, and when he arrived outside the tent, he pretended to ask, "What's the matter?" β
Toya's eyes widened, "Ilmo broke his neck!" She smacked her tongue again and again, and said in surprise, "Oh my God, is this the gods punishing him?" There are very few men on the prairie who fall off their horses. Looking inside, "Cousin didn't sleep last night, right?" When I woke up in the morning, I felt that she was not in good spirits, so let her sleep first, and then go back and tell her the news, ....... Forcibly suppressed the word "good".
Xiao Duo smiled and nodded, "Okay, when she wakes up, I'll tell her." β
Toya went like a gust of wind.
Xiao Duo glanced at Wang Xu, didn't say anything, and turned to go in.
Wang Xu didn't move, as if he didn't feel the unkind gaze of His Royal Highness Duan Wang, of course he knew in his heart that he didn't want to see himself, but ......, he still guarded her until the last moment.
******
The injury on Ilmo's neck is quite serious, and several doctors have seen it, and they all shake their heads, and the best estimate is that he can save his life, and whether he can stand up is completely different.
Concubine Huo Lian only has such a son, and she suddenly panicked, and she couldn't stop washing her face with tears all day long.
And Xiao Duo came to Huo Lian to discuss the future contract, which didn't take much time, from the preparation before and after plus the time for discussion in the middle, it was finalized in half a month. After all, the excerpt that Huo Lian sent to the imperial court before, and the Zhu pen approved by the emperor, have already discussed the general content, and they only need to finalize the details.
Seeing that the people of the Central Plains Court were about to leave, Ilemo's injuries still did not improve, he lay on the bed with his neck crooked, extremely angry, "It must be them who ......, they cursed me." β
The prairie boy fell off the horse, broke his neck after the worst, and collapsed on the bed for the rest of his life, even if he died, he would be laughed at by his brothers and the prairie people, it was too wretched! It's just that he fell after leaving Prince Duan, and he can't even get angry, but for some reason, he just faintly feels that he can't get out of it with them!
At that time, the little white face rushed over, although he didn't get close to him, but the Central Plains people have always been weird, maybe he secretly used some magic tricks! Yes, definitely! Otherwise, how could Prince Duan let himself go so easily.
Concubine Huo Lian cried: "My child, you get well quickly. β
"Don't cry." The irritability in Ilmo's heart was extreme, and he didn't have a good face for his mother, who could only cry, but gritted his teeth and said: "I can't let Prince Duan and them leave like this, and when they return to the Central Plains, I won't have a chance to take revenge even if I want to." β
"What do you want ......?" Concubine Huo Lian wiped her tears and asked.
On the other hand, Feng Luan is asking Wang Xu and Hongying to pack up their burdens and prepare to leave Huo Lian, to be honest, although it is not a meal style to sleep here, but the diet and accommodation are still very unaccustomed, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is not suitable for this kind of place in the middle of nowhere. The most important thing is that I have to squeeze into the same bed with Xiao Duo every day, and I can't even sleep in separate beds, so it's not good to disturb Toya every day,...... She exhaled, but luckily this was coming to an end.
Xiao Duo walked in from outside and said, "You all go out first." β
The original intention of bringing her to Huo Lian was to ease the stiff relationship between them, but because of Wang Xu's matter, it made her even more distant from herself. Thinking about it, if it weren't for the constraints of the relationship between husband and wife, because they gave birth to a pair of children with each other, I was afraid that she wouldn't have endured it a long time ago, but turned around and brushed her sleeves away.
There was silence in the tent, and no one spoke first.
Feng Luan didn't want to stand still, so he went to fold his clothes, but he couldn't fold them well, so he pushed them aside.
"This time I came out and made you suffer." After a long time, Xiao Duo spoke.
Feng Luan shook his head, "It's okay." β
Xiao Duo took out a few brightly colored small things and put them on the bed, "What I brought for Brother Hao and Sister Wu are all gadgets." He added, "I also brought some medicinal herbs for your mother." β
Speaking of the child and the mother, Feng Luan's expression softened a little, and he nodded: "Okay, you have a heart." β
But after saying this, there was nothing else to say, and the silence embarrassed each other, Xiao Duo got up and said, "I'll go out of Lu first and come back in the evening." In fact, he had nothing to do at all, he was already busy, but he didn't want the atmosphere to be weird, so he made an excuse to go out to breathe.
At dusk, there was a scene of colorful clouds outside.
Xiao Duo came back, and Feng Luan just silently accompanied him to eat, and there was no communication from beginning to end. Then after eating, Xiao Duo went out for a walk again, and finally it was time to sleep, and there was no need to think about talking, and both of them were relieved.
Feng Luan scattered her hair and was about to put it on. bed, I heard Xiao Duo shouting, "Don't move when you stand!" β
She was startled, and couldn't help but look around in panicβ
Suddenly the soul is gone!
"Snake!" Feng Luan is a boudoir woman, but she is not as calm as Xiao Duo's big man, especially when she sees this soft animal, she instinctively wants to dodge, and exclaims: "Help!" β
At that moment, she threw herself into Xiao Duo's arms without hesitation.
But as soon as she moved, the snake found the moving target, and with a "whoosh", it swam quickly towards her! Xiao Duo drew his sword without hesitation and slashed it, but missed, and then heard her scream, followed by a sword, and finally split the snake into two, but the snake's head was still biting her calf!
At the same time, Wang Xu's voice sounded outside, "What person?" There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, a movement behind the tent, and someone screaming, but in an instant another muffled grunt fell silent.
Wang Xu subdued and grabbed the person in, "Lord Wang, this person is sneaking behind the tent!" β
Xiao Duo didn't care about him at all, and immediately picked off the snake's head with a sword, and then quickly removed her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs and saw that the white calves had been stained red with blood, and the surrounding area was dark blue, obviously poisoned!
Wang Xu's eyes swept away in shock, looking at the snake body and snake head broken in two on the ground, what else did he not understand? immediately threw the man to Gao Jinzhong, "Look at it! Keep your mouth alive! Then he rushed forward and wanted to help squeeze out the snake venom for her, but he couldn't intervene at all, so he had to shout Hongying, "Find a doctor!" Anti-snake venom! β
Feng Luan bit her lip, tears glistened, and a dull sound of pain gradually weakened.
Xiao Duo desperately squeezed out the wound and blood for her, but the bruised purple color spread all the way up along the calf with the naked eye, and if it continued like this, I was afraid that it would kill her!
Feng Luan fainted softly.
"Nope." Wang Xu was anxious, grabbed a piece of clothing casually, stepped forward and tied her thighs tightly, trying to let the snake venom spread more slowly, and then knelt down and pleaded: "If you can't squeeze it cleanly, let me suck out some snake venom for the princess!" β
Xiao Duo said angrily: "Get out!" β
Wang Xu didn't care about herself, stepped forward and grabbed her calf, "As long as you can save the princess's life, ...... afterwards, will the time of separation come so soon?" His heart was gloomy, but he didn't hesitate, "It's still up to the prince to deal with it afterwards!" β
"This king told you to get out!" Xiao Duo pushed him away and lowered his head.
The author has something to say: (βoβ) Ah!
