Chapter 222: Depression
As the snow began to fall, the gray color of the sky looked very heavy, as if the dark sea was about to capsize overhead, and in a short time fine snow foam floated up.
Since it was dark, even if the snow foam was white, it would look gray.
From a distance, the pure white color of the sky and the earth under the white cotton mountain covered in silver fell into a gray cloud.
Among them, only the grass tips on the plains that have broken through the snow without fear of the severe cold have a new green color, and at a glance, the white snow reflects the green grass, which is really eye-catching and lovely.
Not far away, a woman in red was lying on the horse's back with a frustrated expression on her face, shrouded in a black shadow like a "dead corpse", her hands naturally fell on both sides of the horse's chest, swaying slightly with the horse's steps, and the horse's hooves passed through the snow-white plain, leaving a string of crescent-shaped marks.
At that moment, someone flew into the distance and grabbed the horse's neck, and the horse immediately stopped its feet, and a little white mist erupted from its mouth as it neighed.
The man on horseback was in a heroic posture, breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
Fang Cai galloped in the wind as cold as a knife, which made his naturally fair face slightly red, and his big hand grasped the reins, looking at the woman who looked like she had lost her soul in self-doubt, crying and laughing, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you have energy? Don't you want to learn to ride a horse? ”
Ye Lingyi put his face on the horse's back, dragged out his tone extremely gloomily, and replied angrily: "I really can't stand up straight!" As soon as I sat up, the horse went crazy and wanted to throw me off! ”
Hearing this, Inep smiled, his thin lips raised, and the arc of the ripple was amorous and amazing.
"You're still laughing!" Ye Lingyi pouted helplessly, "Obviously, I asked you to help teach me how to ride a horse, but it's better for you to run away first." ”
"Well, I was wrong!" Inep admits his mistake and is sincere.
Smiling, looking at her, her blue eyes were full of soft light, "I'll teach you, try to get up first......"
"Can it work? This horse's temper is not very good. ”
Ye Lingyi glanced at Inep with a suspicious look.
Seeing this, Inep simply jumped off the horse's back, opened his arms to her on the other horse's back, and said with a sincere gaze: "Trust me! With me, I won't let you fall! ”
Saying this, Ye Lingyi tentatively propped himself up slightly.
Inepu looked more nervous than she was, and while guarding her from falling, he gently admonished, "Slow down! Lean forward slightly, don't straighten your back too straight, so that when the horse rushes out, you will be carried back, clamp the belly of the horse with your legs, and don't pull the reins too tightly, don't be afraid to ......"
According to the words, Ye Lingyi was like a toddler, tightening her heartstrings and carefully pulling the reins.
The horse takes a few steps according to the reverse she gave.
Ye Lingyi was immediately excited like a child, her eyes lit up, her red lips appeared with an excited smile, and she couldn't wait to dance.
It was the first time Inep had seen her smile so brightly.
Looking at her like this, he couldn't help but laugh, his blue eyes filled with melted honey.
Soon, the entire Black Water ushered in a blizzard, and the overwhelming white fell with the gluttonous wind, covering everything at a very fast speed, and the empty Black Lan City fell silent in a dead silence.
Wanyan Yilib stood on the high city wall, the frenzied snowflakes falling with the wind on the black fur collar of the fox fur on his shoulder, and a pair of cloudy eyes stared at the group under the city wall that was marching outside the city with a cold glow.
At this time, an old man with white eyebrows at the front of the line turned back and looked at the city wall.
The eyes of the two collided, and Wanyan Yilibu deliberately raised his chin as if to show Wang Wei in front of him, looking down on all beings.
The old man had no emotion, but looked at him calmly, and suddenly showed a mocking and sympathetic smile, and in a moment turned back and drove the horse faster.
Wanyan Yilibu was stunned, and then an uncontrollable anger arose from his heart.
This old thing, it's all dying, and it's so arrogant!
The group consisted of men and women, elderly people in their eighties and still baby crying children, all of whom barely communicated with each other, but followed the leader with a determined gaze, as if they would unswervingly follow the leader regardless of life or death.
This made Wanyan Yilibu, who was already jealous of the old man, even more crazy and jealous of him.
Looking at this group of "fools" who unconditionally trusted the leader and were determined to die, Wanyan Yilibu showed a hideous smile.
Laughing and laughing, cruelty appeared in his cloudy eyes.
For more than twenty years, he had been living in the shadow of the powerful Sauroro tribe, and this time he could finally get rid of it completely.
"King Khan!" There are people behind him.
Wanyan Yilibu restrained the expression on his face.
Behind him, he said: "Hatu is clamoring to see you in prison!" ”
Wanyan Yilibu squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Bring him!" ”
However, after a short time, Hatu was twisted from the dungeon to Wanyan Yilib's back.
At this time, Hatu had lost his original spirit, but looked at the back of the person in front of him with a haggard expression, and called tremblingly: "Hatu see the Khan King!" ”
"Hatu." Wanyan Yilib called his name, paused for a moment and turned around.
Looking at Hatu's eyes that had lost their light, he frowned and asked, "Do you know it's wrong?" As long as you say that you know that you are wrong, I can let you go back to see your wife and children, and we are still good brothers as before. ”
Hatu drooped his eyelids listlessly, shook his body weakly, bent his knees, and knelt down: "King Khan, Hatu does not seek freedom for himself, what he wants is to wake up the Khan King, the second prince is missing, Heishui has no successor now, the Gulan people can't wait to swallow this piece of fat, I am afraid that the day when the soldiers will come to the city gate is not far away, please ask the Khan King to plan for the people of Heishui and establish a prince early!" ”
"You're looking forward to my death!" Wanyan Yilibu suddenly became furious.
Hatu withstood the pressure and repeated: "Please King Khan for the sake of the people of Heishui and establish a prince as soon as possible!" ”
"Come on, drag this rebellious lamb down for me!"
After Yan Yili gritted his teeth angrily, Xu was so bloody that he coughed.
Hatu also seemed to have a plan, and jumped on top of the fortress before Wu Wei stepped forward.
Wanyan Yilib didn't expect him to have such a move, so it was easy to stop this fatal cough, and he opened his eyes wide and said fiercely: "What are you doing!" ”
A pale and desperate smile appeared on Hatu's haggard face: "King Khan, I know it's not easy to wake you up, if you have to take your life for it, then I, Hatu, will be defined!" Please also ask the King Khan to listen to me, set up the third prince as the prince early, and the black water has an immortal foundation! ”
Wanyan Yilibu was so angry that his face trembled, and his eyes were vicious: "Are you threatening me?" Aren't you afraid that I will kill all your sons and fathers, take your wife and daughter, and make you a ghost? ”
Speaking of this, Hatu's face shook slightly, and then he became firm again, and raised his arms to the sky and shouted: "King Khan is wise, and the third prince is the prince!" King Khan's wise ......"
"Stubborn! How dare you make a decision for me! Wanyan Yilibu gritted his teeth angrily, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of the self-defending city guard, and pulled the string to frame the bow.
Before everyone could see his movements, an arrow flew out of Wan Yan Yilibu's hand and stabbed Hatu's throat violently.
Standing on top of the city wall, Hatu suddenly stared at Wanyan Yilib with wide eyes, his back stiffened, and his body fell straight down the city wall like a falling pencil......
After Yan Yilibu froze his angry face, he realized what he had done when he was carried away by anger, and he actually killed the old man who had followed him for nearly thirty years.
A look of remorse gradually appeared in the cloudy eyes, and the fingers were released, and the bow and arrow fell into the snow beneath his feet.
On the other hand, Wanyan Naqi learned the news that Wanyan Yilibu had sent the entire Suojuluo tribe out of the city under the pretext of "fighting the enemy for the black water", and was about to rush to stop it, but was stopped by the concubine who came in a hurry.
"Where?" The concubine looked serious.
Wan Yan Naqi was anxious: "Eji, don't stop me!" Father Khan made it clear that he wanted the life of the entire Sojuro tribe! If you don't go, Marfa will go far! ”
Let's go around it.
The eldest concubine simply stretched out her hand to stop him: "You don't have to go!" ”
"Why?" Wan Yan Naqi looked at his mother in confusion.
The eldest concubine looked sideways and said calmly: "Do you think that you Marfa don't know what the Khan King is thinking?" Do you think the rest of the Sojuro tribe doesn't know what the consequences will be? ”
"If Marfa knows, why is he still obeying?" Wanyan Naqi was even more confused.
The eldest concubine slowly put down the arm that was stopped in front of Wan Yan Naqi, flicked the Buddhist bead bracelet in her hand, and sighed helplessly: "There is a saying in the Central Plains, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" The strength of the Suojuluo tribe is strong, and it has already become a thorn in the palm of others, this time the Khan King let Marfa go out of the city to resist the enemy for a legitimate reason, if you Marfa disobeys, there are only two ways to go, one is to completely reverse, and the other is to die in the black water with the name of a traitor, what a proud person you Marfa is, he would rather die on the battlefield than bend his waist in the stigma! ”
"Can we just watch Marfa die?" I can't be angry.
The eldest concubine smiled gently, looking at his indignant appearance, her smile was mixed with deep helplessness, she raised her hand to touch her son's cheek, and said bitterly: "Son, this is our fate!" ”
Wanyan Naqi was still immersed in resentment, and his dark eyes were full of unwillingness.
The eldest concubine said again: "You Marfa knew that you would not be able to hold your breath, so you sent a letter in advance, telling me to take it out at the critical moment, and now it seems that this critical moment has also arrived." ”
Lowered his eyebrows and called out to Shu Shu behind him: "Shu Shu." ”
Shu Shu immediately sent a letter.
Wanyan opened it and read it carefully, full of resentment, but it did not relieve half a cent of it.
Grabbed the letter paper, looked out of the house with gloomy eyes, and only said: "I'll go find Father Khan!" ”
An arrow pierces the target of the heart.
The woman in red rode on the snowy field, stared at an arrow stuck in the center of the target, smiled confidently, withdrew the hand that drew the bow, and pulled the reins tightly.
The horses ran in the other direction with joy.
Inep crossed his arm and smiled at the woman in red who was gradually running towards him.
In the snow-white eyes, only the bright red of the hunting flew into his eyes.
When she got closer, she made a mischievous gesture to fall.
Inep, whose eyes were mesmerized, believed it and nervously reached out to pick it up.
But seeing her laughing triumphantly, he rode past him, stopped his horse not far away, turned the horse's head with a smile, and said loudly, "How am I learning?" ”
In all fairness, being able to learn riding and archery like this in just ten days can already be regarded as a rapid progress, but in order to take revenge on Ye Lingyi's actions just now, just as she was proudly looking forward to his praise, Inep pretended to be melancholy and said: "It's been more than ten days before I learned like this, it seems that my reputation is about to fall into your hands." ”
"Hey!" Ye Lingyi crossed her waist in disbelief, and then felt that the angle of the conversation between the two was not right, and then turned off the horse and walked towards him, pointing at the red heart target as if she was reminding: "I just hit the target while riding a horse, so don't you think so?" In just ten days, it would be good for others to learn to ride a horse, and I not only learned to ride a horse but also learned to shoot an arrow. ”
Inep looked down at her cute protesting face, his eyes full of doting smiles.
said something that made her speechless: "When I learned to ride and shoot, it only took five days!" ”
This is a stark contrast......
The confidence that was sufficient just now instantly weakened, Ye Lingyi touched his nose, and quibbled: "How is it possible?" Don't try to lie to me, even if it's true, it must be that the horse you ride is better than mine, and you have a docile temperament! ”
"I'm riding a war horse!" Inep said calmly.
Ye Lingyi was dumbfounded for a moment, and forcibly quibbled again: "You are a man, I am a woman, it must be different!" ”
What kind of logic is this?
Inep doesn't understand.
Ye Lingyi laughed and said, "You are the fastest in boys' middle school, and I am the fastest in girls' middle school, of course it's different!" ”
Well, that's fine?
Inep was helpless, feeling that he had really lost to her, so he had to accommodate: "Okay, okay, you're amazing!" You're amazing! ”
Ye Lingyi smirked.
Inipu suddenly remembered and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of learning to ride a horse and shoot arrows?" ”
At the mention of this, Ye Lingyi's smile faded, and her expression became solemn a little, but she only said softly: "Just be prepared." ”
Inep looked at her side face quietly, and for some reason, her chest suddenly became a little depressed.
