It's a pity that there will be a moment when you wake up from a sweet dream. An eagle cry in the sky shook the sky and suppressed the clouds, and also woke up a nightmare hidden in Zhang Shixing's heart for a long time in an instant, he took out a page from his arms, which was the page torn from the last page of the book "Drinking and Drinking" that Tana gave to Guanyinnu, handed it to Tana, and asked in a deep voice: "Princess, what do you think this is?" ”

Tana opened her eyes and giggled, "Why are you still keeping it for something?" Is it possible that you want to make a love token? ”

Zhang Shixing said with a straight face: "Princess, I don't joke with you, let me ask you, did you kill Emperor Xiaokang?" What exactly did you say to Guanyinnu? What exactly is written in the Paspa text on this? ”

Saying that, he involuntarily squeezed Tana's arm, Tana was in pain, turned her head and saw Zhang Shixing's face distorted, his expression was painful, so he suppressed his smile and asked, "You doubt me?" So you found someone to translate the book "Eating and Drinking"? ”

Zhang Shixing's expression was even more painful, since the crown prince Zhu Biaoxue, he had been tortured by this question for many years, one was the person he loved deeply, and the other was the person he deeply respected, no matter who hurt whom, it would make him suffer double the pain and self-blame, and he had to figure it out no matter what today.

Zhang Shixing shouted and asked, "Don't worry about it." You just said that you let Guanyin Nu poison the diet and kill Emperor Xiaokang? ”

Tana said coldly: "Yes, it was I who let Guanyin Nu kill Zhu Biao, and it was the news transmitted through that Ba Si Pa Wen. ”

Zhang Shixing closed his eyes in pain, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "You are so vicious." ”

Tana said angrily: "They killed my parents, killed your parents, killed so many of us Mongolians, and you didn't take revenge, recognized the thief as your father, and became a good official, but they came to accuse me of being vicious?" ”

Zhang Shixing said angrily: "In order to take revenge, can you do whatever it takes to kill innocents?" Emperor Xiaokang is benevolent and generous, for the eternal Ming Jun, you killed him, do you know how many people in the world will be innocent for this? In the Lanyu case, more than 100,000 people were killed, the five kings cut the domain, and tens of thousands of people were implicated, and now the court is coming to deal with King Yan again, and I don't know how many people will die. It's all because you killed Emperor Xiaokang, do you know? ”

The more Zhang Shixing spoke, the more angry he became, grabbing Tana's arm with both hands and shaking it vigorously, as if he wanted to sprinkle all his grievances on her, a weak woman.

Tana burst into tears, she turned around and shouted at Zhang Shixing, "It's not because of you. After that, she lay on Zhang Shixing's chest and cried loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances, torture, and pain she had suffered over the years.

Zhang Shixing hugged her tightly in his arms, and tears were pouring out, whether he was crying Zhu Biao, crying himself, or crying Tana, crying his parents, he couldn't tell the difference, but he felt that crying out felt better in his heart, and his chest was not so depressed.

After crying for a long time, Tana gradually stopped her grief, Zhang Shixing picked up her pretty face, gently brushed away the tears, and asked softly: "My princess, why do you say it's because of me?" ”

Tana's face suddenly turned red, and she said shyly, "It's not because I'm pregnant with little Battle?" ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he couldn't believe his ears like a thunderbolt, and asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the little prince is my son?" ”

Tana nodded and said, "I've had him since the Jiming Temple for a while. After a long time, I was afraid that Zhu Biao would find out and know that you would go to Xi'an to inspect, so I wrote a secret text to Guanyinnu, ordering her to wait for an opportunity to poison her diet, and if she didn't comply, I would kill her whole family. Originally, I was a desperate move, and I didn't have much chance of winning, but I succeeded in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Shixing looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's really providence, Emperor Xiaokang treats me like a father and son, and I am like a father, but he collapsed because of me, I am really guilty." With that, he clenched his hands into fists and struck his head desperately, looking full of remorse.

Tana grabbed his hands and said: "It's they who can't stand you first, you have nothing to blame yourself for guilty, now your parents' revenge has been avenged, and we have all escaped from the Central Plains, let's join forces together and do a great job, do you think it's good?" ”

Zhang Shixing looked at her suspiciously and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Tana pointed to the boundless grassland in front of her, and said arrogantly: "Everywhere I go, I have it, I am the queen mother, our children are the Great Khan, and you will be the regent." However, I can't marry you, you will always be my son, I will always be your princess, we will never be separated for the rest of our lives, do you think? With that, she smiled apologetically at Zhang Shixing.

Zhang Shixing shook off her softness violently, and said firmly: "I can't stay here." I have already failed Emperor Xiaokang, and I can no longer live up to the trust of Imajo. I want to go back to Peking and complete my mission. ”

Tana hated and pinched him, and shouted: "Wake up, you fool, the emperor asked you to go to Beiping to fight with Yan Wang, just send him to death." ”

Zhang Shixing said decisively: "I just went to die, and I died as I deserved." Do you know what my name is? ”

Tana was stunned and said, "Aren't you called Battle?" ”

Zhang Shixing said word by word: "My name is Zhang Shixing, the word Hongyi." When my father gave me this name, he was telling me that I must not be Hongyi, and that I should be quick to do what I say. If I stay here, my conscience will be troubled, and my parents will look at me from heaven and blame me. Princess, you are so self-conscious, I will not accompany you. ”

So saying, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the camp without looking back.

Tana was so angry that she whipped him in the face, Zhang Shixing didn't dodge, a bloody mark appeared on his face, Tana whipped the horse's buttocks again, and the big green horse let out a long howl, spread its hooves and galloped away.

Zhang Shixing walked aimlessly on the grassland, he wanted to find the place where his parents were buried, the small circle of tombs surrounded by stones, but the vast grassland was barren with grass and vines, and the ground was full of rubble, and trying to find such a palm-sized place was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Zhang Shi walked and lost his way, neither could he see the sea of fishing, nor could he find the direction of the camp, it was getting late, the night was low, the sound of wolves howling came from the grassland, Zhang Shixing was unarmed, he had no long things, his heart was cold, and he said secretly: "Am I going to die here today?" ”

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and shouts came and went: "Zhang Tongzhi, where are you?" ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly beckoned and responded, "I'm here." ”

As he spoke, a group of people galloped to the front, and under the bright torches, the person at the head was tall and strong, with a round face and thin eyes, and it was none other than Qianhu Arutai. When Arutai saw Zhang Shixing, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, hugged him, and said happily: "Zhang Tongzhi, where have you been, I have found you so hard." ”

Zhang Shixing said embarrassedly: "I'm lost, why did you come out to find me?" ”

Arutai said: "I came to you on the order of the Queen Mother. When she saw that you had not returned for a long time, and was worried that something would happen to you, she sent a few people out to look for you, so you can go back to the camp with us. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard that Tana had sent someone to look for him, his heart was hot, and he just wanted to go with them, but then he thought that if he returned to the camp, he was afraid that he would never be able to leave Tana again, so he stopped again and said to Arutai: "Arutai, I have something important to do, and I will return to Beiping immediately, you borrow me three horses, and I will leave." ”

Arutai was surprised: "So soon, I think you should go back to the camp first, and it is not too late to leave after saying goodbye to the little prince and the queen mother." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "One hundred thousand is urgent, there is no delay, and if you don't leave, you will lose your head." You can say goodbye to the little prince and the queen mother on my behalf. ”

Arutai was suspicious, and it was not easy to stop him, so he prepared bows, arrows, food and other things used on the road, led three horses, and handed them to Zhang Shixing: "Zhang Tongzhi, take care all the way, there will be a period later." ”

Zhang Shixing thanked him and said: "Thank you Qianhu, you also take care, we will meet again." With that, he got on his horse, looked up at the starry sky, found out the Big Dipper from the starry sky, identified the direction, and went south.

He galloped non-stop for half the night, and was a little tired, so he found a sheltered place, dismounted, gathered the three horses together, took out the flint, lit a fire, and leaned on the horse's leg and fell into a deep sleep. I slept until dawn, ate some dry food, changed horses, and continued to gallop south. In this way, day and night, after running for five days and five nights, he estimated that he had run more than a thousand miles, and a big river blocked the road in front of him, the river was turbid, the waves were rolling, the water was turbulent, and there were whirlpools, and he didn't know the depth.

Zhang Shixing didn't know that the river in front of him was called Huangshui in ancient times, one of the six major rivers in China, and the Mongolian language is Xilamulun River, which also means that the river water is turbid and yellow, and the folk call it the Little Yellow River. On weekdays, the water is three or four feet deep, but at this time, the spring flowers bloom, and the snow on the mountain melts and flows into the river, and the river water swells to form a spring flood.

Zhang Shixing also crossed this river when he went north, and he didn't think it was too deep at that time, and he was in a hurry, so he urged the horse to jump into the river, wanting to swim over, who knew that a wave hit, and the two horses behind him were swept into the whirlpool, and the two horses struggled desperately, neighing and screaming, or were swallowed up by the turbid waves.

Zhang Shixing saw that the big thing was not good, tightly hugged the neck of the white horse riding in the residence, up and down with the flow of water, in the face of the absolute power of nature, spare your martial arts to cover the world, but also as small as dust, he can only pray for God's mercy.

At this critical juncture, a lassock reached in front of him, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, but the end of the lasso, which seemed to have little strength, failed to pull him ashore, when a crisp voice shouted: "Bald Polo, come and help." ”

Zhang Shixing felt that the strength of the pole was greater, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse was in pain, jumped three times and jumped twice, and finally jumped ashore. Zhang Shixing let go of his hand, wiped the water droplets from his face, and saw two fourteen or fifteen-year-old Mongolian teenagers on the shore holding a long lasso, apparently the two of them saved themselves.

Zhang Shixing hurriedly urged him forward, hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you two little brothers for saving each other, Zhang Shixing is grateful." ”

The two teenagers glanced at each other and said in surprise: "You are Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Zhang Shixing?" ”

Zhang Shixingqi said: "I don't know who the two little brothers are, who their surnames are, how do you know what's next?" ”

The long-faced young man pointed to the square-faced young man next to him and said, "My name is Taiping, his name is Bald Polo, and we are all subordinates of Batu Qianhu." You defeated Wugutai, and no one on the grassland knows and who doesn't know. You are a recognized hero of our two tribes, Varat and Tatar. ”
