Chapter 17: The Bloody Storm (4)
An Guijia's face was gloomy, and his heart suddenly twitched a few times, but he didn't speak. His wound was so painful that he could barely move, and he asked Anville and Andy to help him to the grass, and after a while he fell asleep. In his dreams, he dreamed of the young Holch, tall and handsome, wearing a deer's helmet and holding a war hammer, riding on a horse like a horned giant. In the darkness he heard his laughter and looked at his blue eyes, which were as clear as a lake in the mountains. "Anguiga, you've finally come to see me. ”
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, An Guijia was half-asleep, he thought he was dreaming, he thought it was Holchi's footsteps, he woke up shouting Holchi's name, the jailer stood in front of him again, and Gu Qi helped him up.
"Our king pleases. The jailer's face crumpled, "Please follow me." ”
"I will go with you, king. Gu Qi stood in front of him.
"The master went to lecture him, and the subordinates did not need to deal with the aftermath. The jailer frowned unhappily.
"You stay. Anguiga commanded, "You all stay and wait for me to return." He endured the pain and limped out of the cell.
Anguiga was taken up to an attic, he endured the pain and walked up the stairs, Newel's room was at the highest point of the attic, at the door met Alpha who had just come out of Newtell's room, his expression was soft, his face was kind, Alpha was young and sunny, the same age as Anwell, with a hint of immaturity in his smile, at least it looked much more pleasing to the eye than the fierce and vicious Newel, he was stunned, and he was polite, " I've made it clear to my father that you've let you go, but you have to apologize before him for all the crimes you've betrayed him, just go in and have a good talk. ”
"It's that simple?" asked An Guiga.
"Yes, the King. Alpha said, "Father is waiting for you." With that, he ordered the jailer to leave with him.
When Anguiga entered the room, Newtel was sitting on a chair with a feather in his hand, writing something on a piece of brown paper, and some books and miscellaneous papers were messily placed on the table, and when he walked in, Newtel stopped the feather in his hand.
"I heard you're going to let me go?" asked An Guijia bluntly and deeply.
"That's right. Niu Tel nodded and put the feather on the ink cartridge, "Even if I kill you, it won't change anything, rather than this, it is better to let you go and go back to tell the son of the old thief Ji Zhou that this king will never be a slave of the Red Fangs." ”
"Da Danyu didn't want to go to war. Anguiga explained, "He wanted to end the grudge with each other. ”
"Hmph....... Niu Tel sneered, "The hatred between my clan and the Red Fang people will never end, but you have become a lackey of the Red Fang people." ”
"Lackeys or slaves. Anguiga shook his beard and said, "My heart is open. ”
Newtel's deep eyes shrouded for a while, and a gust of wind came in from outside the door and window, blowing the manuscripts on the table, and Newtel pushed away his chair and stood up from the table, "Let your Andy stay, and send me ten grain and grass and thirty trained horses every year." You and Anvel can go back, and get out of here before I change my mind. As he spoke, he sorted out the windswept manuscripts on his desk.
"I'd like to discuss Andy's matter with you again. "Anguiga tried to take a step," Andy was still ....... ”
"Enough. "I'll let your daughter stay on this one condition, I said I'd marry Alpha when she grows up, and I don't want people to laugh at me for marrying a child as a wife." If you take her back and don't waste this trip to Issyk-Kul Lake, there will be a lot of good intentions. ”
An Guijia sighed coldly, making a difficult decision, he also knew that it was useless to say, so he nodded, "I hope your son will treat her well." ”
"You can rest assured. Niu Ter glanced at An Guijia, "As long as you hand in the grain, grass and horses on time, at least you won't let your daughter lose her life here." ”
Anguiga nodded, then turned around, and when he reached the door, he turned back and took two steps forward, "Have you never regretted what happened fifteen years ago?" he asked, his expression dozing, "Have you ever regretted sitting in this position for so long?"
Newtel sneered, "I've been on the throne for fifteen years, to hell with those self-reproaches." He sat back in his chair, his voice clear and inaudible. "I have laid a great foundation for the Clan Yue family, whether it is a stinking ten thousand years or a bright life, I will be compiled into the annals of history, and now my Clan Yue family has entered the prosperous period, waiting for us will be a great future. ”
"Have you comforted yourself like this for the past fifteen years? Your conscience has not been condemned? You have not felt guilty at all? I have been guilty for many years, saving people like you, and killing my sworn brother. An Guijia's voice was low and hoarse, "The great future you have in front of you is probably not as good as you say? Over the years, you have eaten up all the cattle and sheep within a radius of hundreds of miles of the grassland, and if I guess correctly, your herdsmen have less than 300 households, less than 10,000 acres of land, and no matter how many cattle and sheep the herdsmen on the grassland raise, they may not be enough to supply your army of more than 5,000 people." ”
"Shut up. Newtel frowned and said, "You're investigating me?"
"How dare I set foot on your territory without a detailed understanding before I came?"
"Good. Niu Tel nodded, "Go back to your master, tell him everything my clan has, and let him attack me." He suffered two defeats in a row at Issyk-Kul Lake, and if he wanted to go to war again, he let his horse come, and the king was waiting for good news at any time. ”
An Guijia A rough breath came from his throat, he was stunned for a moment, turned to leave, there were small snowflakes outside, in the compound, Andy, Anwei, Hu Yu and Gu Qi, and his group of more than 20 people were already waiting here, he gave Andy a deep gaze, Andy walked towards him, his eyes showed a melancholy, Andy could see that it must not be a good sign.
"Father. Andy opened uncertainly, "Can I get out of here?"
Not daring to shake his head or speak, Angela gently stroked the ends of Andy's hair with his hand. Andy sensitively pushed An Guijia away and took a few steps back, "You didn't convince the Moon King to let me go?" you want to leave me here?" she burst into tears instantly, "There is no mother, no father, no brother, no relatives, are you willing to leave me here alone?" She felt that her whole body was going to be hollowed out, and she felt that her whole body was going to sit on the ground.
"The Moon King said to let you marry Alpha. "This is his last concession." ”
Andy sneered, crying and laughing, and looked at him with those bright eyes, desperate and cold, "So, you think it's already good, right?"
"Makes you suffer children. An Guijia's hair was covered with snowflakes, and he felt like half of his body was hollowed out, and he struggled, "If you can." His voice trembled, "I really want you to be born in a herdsman's house." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Andy's eyes flickered slightly, "I wish I was, too, but I'm your daughter." She shook her head slightly, "You can't leave me here. Finally, her voice rose eight tones higher and roared.
"Don't be like that, Andy. Anvil advised, "Father has done his best. He tried to pull Andy's arm, Andy frowned, turned his gaze to Anville with hatred, pushed his arm away, and ran out of the compound, Hu Yu immediately followed behind.
There was no one in the compound except her own pedestrians to see them off, and Anguiga saw Andy on the floor of the castle, Hu Yu by her side, her weak body looked so small, she was only eleven years old, and she was just a child. He didn't dare to look at his daughter anymore, so he turned around and led the horse out of the compound.
At the gate of the compound, Al was already waiting here, and he bowed deeply to An Guijia, "Father-in-law, I apologize to you for everything my father has done to you. He smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, I will treat your daughter well and won't hurt her in the slightest." ”
An Guijia's face seemed to be relieved, "I hope you remember what you said today." ”
"I will. Alpha nodded, "I'll treat her like my own sister." ”
An Guijia smiled gratefully, he was about to pull the horse and walk away, but he saw Andy running all the way from the compound, Hu Yu staggered and followed not far away, at the moment of arrival, An Guijia opened his arms and hugged Andy in his arms.
"I'm sorry. An Guijia's tears flowed uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, my child, it's the father who is incompetent and can't protect you." ”
"Father. Andy burst into tears from his eyes, "I can't understand what you're doing at the moment, and I don't know if I'll be able to understand it when I grow up, but I still can't hate you, I believe I'm the worst of your daughters, but I love you too, just like you love me." ”
"It's good here, be obedient, don't be naughty, and eat well. An Guijia stroked the ends of his hair, and a rapid breath came from his nostrils, "One day I will come to rescue you." When he said the last sentence, his voice was very small, his mouth was closest to the base of Andy's ear, and the voice was so small that only Andy could hear it.
An Guijia picked up Andy from his arms and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand, "I have to go, we will go to the royal court immediately to restore our lives, and we must arrive as soon as possible before the heavy snow closes the mountain." He leaned in and kissed Andy on the forehead, then forced himself to turn around.
Andy watched the whole process of his father turning over and getting on the horse, and looked at Anville helplessly, Anville's tears had already flowed down his cheeks, he held Andy tightly in his arms, and pulled Andy's head close to his chest with one hand. "Brother is gone, sister take care, I will take the time to come and see you. Anville let go of Andy, got on his horse, and galloped out of the yard with Andy, away from the castle, and Andy climbed to the top of the castle, and watched as the horses of his father and brother faded away and disappeared.
Half an hour after leaving the castle, you enter Lake Issyk-Kul and pass through a depression where you can see a wide forest, where the mountains and the ground are covered with snow, and only the green pine trees shine through the green. An Guijia was the most familiar with this area, he vaguely remembered what happened here fifteen years ago, and he also knew that in the depths of the huge forest in front of him was the sacred tree that he, Holch, and Niutel had worshipped.
The snow had already covered the wild grass in the field, and the snowflakes were sprinkled on Anguiga's eyebrows, cheeks, lips, and coat. The wind fluttered in the air like the howl of a wild wolf, as if the souls of those unjustly killed in Fengwei City were roaring unwillingly. They were standing on the top of a mountain, and he remembered the moment when ten people could not hold the sacred tree, and he, Niutel, and Holch knelt in front of the sacred tree, put their hands together, bowed their heads, and prayed for each of them, and he remembered that after the prayer, they cut their wrists and dripped bright red blood on the sacred tree, and the blood of the three people was gathered together, and Holch said humbly, "We are brothers who share adversity, otherwise, blood cannot be combined." ”
Thinking of this, An Guijia's tears moistened his eyes, and he slowly raised his head and withdrew his gaze, "No one is allowed to follow." He commanded him to depart on his horse.
Climbing a steep ridge, he knew that another ridge would be the grave of his brother Holch. He dismounted not far from the cemetery, and walked forward, the former towering cemetery was flat, the soil on the grave had long been sunken, there was no trace of a grave, the branches of the trees planted in the soil were crooked, and only the wind blew on all sides accompanied him.
"Brother. There was no one here, and An Guijia didn't need to care about his face, he knelt on the snow, his voice trembled, and tears flowed, "Your brother has come to see you, please forgive me for not showing up for so many years." He slammed his head on the snow, then looked up, "Brother, I have good news for you, the prince is still alive, although I don't know where he is, but I will do my best to find him." If I could, I would have killed Niutel and given back to the prince everything that belonged to you. Then he threw his head on the snow, got up, and rode away.
