Chapter 16: A Chance Encounter with the Princess of the Daughter Country (3)

It was already midnight for An Murong to catch up with the team, and they camped on the flat grass, lighting a fire to keep warm, and roasting hares on the fire. Although An Murong was wearing layers of tiger fur coats, he still felt cold to the bone, especially the wounds, which hurt more and more in this cold night. Wei Sen took a hare from the fire rack and handed it to An Murong, who separated the rabbit meat and gave half of it to Snow, "Thank you for the snow wolf that saved me twice, but also made me pay the price." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that. Snow said, "But it's strange that Snow Wolf never saves anyone but me, and he ...... you." He made a puzzled gesture.

An Murong also shrugged his shoulders, expressing his incomprehension.

Snow tore off a piece of meat, "Come on, Snow Wolf, you can eat some too." He threw the meat into the snow wolf's mouth, and then put a piece of meat in his mouth, "I guess today we met the daughter country that disappeared fifteen years ago, and it was a miracle that they put you back." ”

"Daughter country?" An Murong asked in surprise.

"Yes. Snow said, "I heard my father-in-law say that the daughter country settled in the area of Guizi Subash, where the geology is arid and sparsely populated, and only a pond of water in Subashi nourishes them, and this lake is called the Zimu River, which allows them to give birth, but all the girls who are born are not boys. Kuqa perennial war, the population declined sharply, fifteen years ago, the king of Qiuci snatched the empress of the daughter country, captured nearly 2,000 people from the daughter country to Qiuci to have children, at that time escaped a group of people, took away the baby in the empress's swaddling clothes, the king of Qiuci looked for most of the Xizhou and failed to find, I guess probably the girl is the baby left by the empress. ”

"You're sure. An Murong asked unsatisfactorily.

"I'm sure and sure. Snow said, "There were no men among them except the girl, the rest were women over thirty years old, and they would not have had children without Subash's sons, and these were the hundreds who escaped about fifteen years ago." ”

"No wonder. An Murong nodded, she was very resistant to us, and asked me to forget about that place and not appear again in the future. ”

"So ....... Snow said, "You're lucky, I've heard that everyone who came here died, people called it a ghost town, and no one dared to come here, but I didn't expect it to be a survivor of the daughter country." Life is so fickle, a tribe may perish one day, the Yanqi tribe, the Ruoqiang country, including the country of the daughter who can not have children, and many, many tribes, in fact, think about it, each of our heads is hanging in the air, and a sudden war will destroy people's entire hearts. ”

"You have your father-in-law, he has an army of 100,000 people, and no one dares to destroy your heart. An Murong's face suddenly changed, and after speaking in a deep voice, he got up, walked to Wei Sen, who was not far away, and ordered, "No one is allowed to mention what happened today, and it will be dealt with by military law." ”

"Yes, sir. After Vieson said respectfully, he turned back and passed the word to everyone.

Snow shrugged his shoulders and found a corner to sit down, he looked at the unfathomable scenery in front of him and said to himself, "No wonder the king of Kuqa can't find them, it's a thousand kilometers away from Kuqa, and it's really comfortable to hide in such a quiet place." The snow wolf also came and squatted beside him, and Snow touched the snow wolf's head, and it rubbed against Snow and looked very docile.

After An Murong dined, he sat by the campfire, he pulled up his coat and hat, and his palms were retracted into his sleeves to keep warm. At this moment, the appearance of the girl appeared in his mind, remembering the situation when their eyes were frozen in mid-air when they were fighting, and remembering that the girl turned away and didn't look back.

As soon as the day dawned, the team set off, An Murong rode his horse, standing on the top of a high mountain to look at the place where he and the girl met, "There is not a room in this meadow, no cooker, no sheepfold, no herding horses, what do they live on? Where do they live, is it a cave?" Thinking of this, his heart twitched several times, "They must be afraid of war, otherwise they will not resist my arrival, and they will not kill all the people who have visited here." ”

"You seem to be very reluctant, don't you leave your heart there?" Xue Nuo met the direction An Murong was looking at, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. An Murong retracted his gaze, glanced at Snow, and did not speak, he pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and walked in the front.

The journey up the mountain was very strenuous, the pine tower trees were very close to them, the outstretched branches and dense foliage blocked the mountain road, like a big umbrella, the sun was blocked by the branches, the breeze blew fiercely, the leaves rattled, they seemed to walk in gloomy weather. The thick pine tower was spread on the ground like a velvet blanket, and the horse's hooves stepped on the pine tower that fell to the ground, only making a crisp sound of squeaking and cracking. What a secluded place this was, and An Murong felt like she was about to fall asleep. Snow quickly caught up with An Murong and walked side by side with him, An Murong was still silent, his face full of silence.

"How long will it take to get to Rob City?" asked Snow.

"It's going to be about two days away. An Murong replied.

"So long. Snow said, "We've been on the road for half a month, and we don't know what happened to the Mad King." ”

"You're worried about him?"

"It's not worrying. Snow said, "My father-in-law said before he left, if something happens to any of us, he will not spare him, and I am very different from him, and we have no common language. ”

"Father-in-law?" An Murong asked incomprehensibly, "You call Da Shan your father-in-law?"

Snow shook his head, "I don't have a father or a mother, the previous lord Verogo Dadanyu picked me up from the grassland, they didn't tell me who it was, and the kings often scolded me for being a child raised by wolves, no different from animals. ”

An Murong sneered, becoming interested in Snow's story, staring at him and waiting for him to continue.

"I often have a dream about a baby crying in the grassland, where there are wolves, wild dogs, caves, and a wide grassland, and I also dream of a she-wolf feeding a baby, and she often throws herself on the baby to warm the baby, as if she is taking care of her own child. As he spoke, Snow smiled, "What a ridiculous dream, you think it's ridiculous too, don't you?"

A smile withdrew from the corner of An Murong's mouth, "It's not ridiculous at all, probably there is such an interesting thing in real life, wolves are inherently human, just like your snow wolf." Maybe your dream is real, this snow wolf is the she-wolf in your dream, and you are the baby. He laughed as he spoke.

"Don't tease me. Snow also smiled, he accepted the smile, his expression was bitter, "What do you think about the occupation of the Yanqi tribe by the savages? I heard that Brother Yanjir's father is also your stepfather." ”

An Murong nodded, "Yes, I didn't have time to save them." ”

Snow lowered his head, "I only learned about this some time ago, my father-in-law asked me to come to the Yanqi tribe to find out the whereabouts of the savages, maybe his old man had a premeditated plan to deal with the savages, before, I thought that the savages are also people, and they can be allowed to do good deeds through transformation education." During my visit to the Yanqi tribe, I witnessed the burned houses, the slaughtered corpses, the young children, and the babies in swaddling clothes, who behaved like animals. As he spoke, tears flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the sky, pursed his lips and said, "Lord An Murong, I only hope that you can let me go back as soon as possible, so that my father-in-law can make plans early." If the savages don't leave, the old herdsmen of the Yanqi tribe will not have a good life. His voice echoed through the forest.

"Do you really believe that your father-in-law is here to drive away the savages and restore peace to the Qi tribe?" An Murong interjected, his heavy tiger fur coat drifting up and down with the horse's movements, "My father has already seen through his ambitions, and he wants all the tribes in the Xizhou grassland to become the slaves of the Red Fang people." You were born with a good heart, but you approve of your father-in-law's style of governance."

"Nope. Snow shook his head, "I don't agree with my father-in-law's governing style, and Master often says that the laws of the Red Fang nobles are cruel, and I think so. ”

An Murong cast an incredible look, "It seems that you are really not a red-toothed person." With that, he hurried away at a gallop.

"I'm not a redfanged man?" Snow shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression, "Who am I?" he asked himself, An Murong had already walked away, and he followed.
