Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tantai Tribe
"What are you kidding the prince," the smile on Li Changge's face completely disappeared, his eyes were cold, and there was no brilliance just now, "I have already made a marriage." ”
A deathly loneliness.
In the middle of the night, Yelus smiled awkwardly, and his voice trembled a little when he was wearing only a single coat in the night wind.
He clapped his hands, the cappella on both sides stopped, and the silk and bamboo orchestras fell silent.
Countless candles were extinguished little by little, and everything returned to its original darkness.
He held on to the armrest of his wheelchair, "It's late at night, I'll send you back." Long song, rest early. ”
Li Changge didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and let him push forward.
Nothing to say all the way.
When she arrived at the main hall, Jerus suddenly looked at her, and her voice was loud, "Changge, you wait for me." When I become a khan, I will have to duel with that man, and you will be my wife after all!" ”
From the first time he saw Li Changge, he was already attracted by her appearance.
"I used to think you were a man, and I thought you were my brother. But I didn't expect that after I found out that you were a woman that day, I couldn't control the idea of wanting to have you. ”
He was so affectionate that Li Changge was stunned for a while, and it took a while to ease his thoughts.
"The little prince laughed, there are so many good women in the world, and Changge is just an ordinary woman with a marriage contract, how can she afford such love?"
The reason why she dressed up as a man was to avoid her identity as a woman from being remembered and save a lot of trouble.
And now since she can't cover her gender, she can only deal with the present.
To put it bluntly, the Xishu royal family is the king of the tribe, and there are no too many cumbersome rules here, and every move is not limited to etiquette at all.
Not to mention that major events like marriage can only be carried out by the children themselves.
If the woman you like already has a place in your heart and is unwilling, you can find the other party for a competition.
Until the point, it will not hurt your life.
But even if it is a victory, it must be agreed by the woman before this family affair can be carried out.
Li Changge silently swallowed what he thought in his heart.
Even if Tuoba Truss really can't beat him, coming to a barbarian and desolate place like Xishu from thousands of miles away is something she would never want to do.
As a woman, but also a woman who has already died once, she wants more than love.
After returning to the room, Li Changge did not fall asleep directly, but turned his wheelchair to the window.
The night was like water, as if a huge black cloth hung over the sky, and only the light of the stars hung on it.
She looked at the mountains in the distance, her brow furrowed, and she let the night wind blow her hair away.
On the second day, everyone got up early.
Yerus entertained them well, and the people below naturally did not dare to slack off.
In the whole room, everything she used was carefully prepared.
Li Changge sat at the table and let Qi Huan tie her hair back for her.
The small comb ran lightly through the ends of her hair, and she closed her eyes, carefully feeling the touch that had not scratched her skin.
After a long time, she suddenly asked out loud, "Qi Huan, are you afraid?" ”
Qi Huan grew up in the General's Mansion since he was a child, and although he was not reused, he never went far away.
I was able to go through so much with her this time, and I didn't say a word of bitterness, so it can be seen that I still didn't see the wrong person.
"I'm afraid," Qi Huan walked up to her with both hands, squatted down, and gently leaned on top of her legs.
Li Changge's hands stroked her neat crown hair, and said softly, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"Although Miss has not been living a comfortable and stable life in the capital, so many things have not happened. What I'm afraid of is that if Miss can't successfully get Snow Lotus, then the future will be very difficult, but if she gets it, it will be even more dangerous. Thinking about it, I just felt chills all over my body. ”
Qi Huan covered her hands, Li Changge only felt sweat, but his hands were cold.
When it comes to being afraid, even she doesn't have a bottom in her own heart.
But if you're afraid that it's useful, then everything can be solved without leaving home.
She looked straight ahead and said firmly, "We have no other way but to go down this road strongly, and we must succeed." ”
Life is not a simple thing, not to mention that they are not ordinary people in ordinary people's homes.
Enjoy this glory and wealth, and naturally pay more.
After breakfast, Li Changge was pushed in front of the Buddha statue and reverently lit incense.
Since I can give her another chance, I hope that she will be able to make her trip a success.
I don't know how long it was, but the voice of Jerus came from outside the door.
She sorted out her thoughts and replied lightly, "This is coming." ”
After experiencing last night's events, Yerus was a little embarrassed, but he was also relieved after seeing her casual appearance.
"Changge, I've already asked people to inquire, the only place where there is fresh snow lotus in Xishu is Xuefeng Mountain." Jerus pondered for a moment, then spoke first.
Sanqi's eyes flickered, "Xuefeng Mountain, how far is it from here?" Can the mountain be steep? ”
Although I don't understand why the little prince already knows her name, but out of a hunch, this man is not so easy to deal with.
He must protect this hard-won lady for his master.
Yelus didn't think about it that much, "Xuefeng Mountain is not very far from here, and the mountain road can be directly passed all the way. But the difficulty is that there is another tribe on this mountain, and if you want to pick snow lotus, you must pass their test. ”
Saying this, Sanqi subconsciously asked, "But you are a member of the royal family......"
"Although I am a member of the Xishu royal family, their Tantai tribe will only contribute one snow lotus that can be preserved every year. And in exchange, our royal family must guarantee their safety. When Jerus said this, he was also very powerless.
In front of his beloved woman, he can't do this thing well, what can he do to fight with others?
Li Changge didn't have the heart to pay attention to his little emotions, thought calmly for a while, and said, "No matter what, we still have to give it a try." ”
The snow peak mountain is very high, and the higher you go, the more difficult it is to breathe.
When it was still far away from here, Li Changge looked at it and saw endless snow.
"Are we going to go up like this?" Sanqi looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him, and suddenly felt that life was full of fun.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to go to such a snow-capped mountain, let alone Li Changge......
As if seeing through his thoughts, Yelus smiled considerately: "Don't worry, there is a special road in the back mountain for the residents here to travel, which is made of wood." I've already had people come to see it, and I can let Changge's wheelchair walk on it. ”
Sanqi nodded, and for more words, followed the path he pointed out and walked forward.
Before going up the mountain, considering that the temperature on the snow-capped mountain was unusually cold, Yelus also prepared a warm crane in advance, and wrapped Li Changge with knee pads.
Li Changge silently accepted his heart and smiled in return.
I don't know how long I walked, but I only heard Sanqi's sigh, "I didn't expect such a big village to be built on this snowy mountain!" ”
As far as the eye can see, there are houses made of ice cubes in front of you.
Li Changge had never seen such a situation, and he was a little stunned for a while, and his endless emotion turned into a sentence, "It seems that this must be very difficult." ”
To be able to live in such a cold environment, and to live in very different places, then the tribal people here must have a different kind of extraordinary perseverance and tenacity.
It seems that it is very difficult for them to get this snow lotus.
Sanqi pushed the wheelchair forward and gradually walked into the village.
"Who?"
Just as he took a step in, there was a burst of cheering above his head.
When you look up, you must be the warrior who is standing guard here.
Before they could react, the man had already sounded the alarm next to him, and in an instant, the whole village rang loudly.
I don't know the time of Half Pillar Incense, and they are already surrounded by strangers.
Even the clothes they wore were different from those of ordinary people, and the fur of the animals was made into various shapes and tightly wrapped around their bodies.
The exposed area was frozen red, and it looked like it was almost cold to the bottom of the heart.
A man on crutches slowly walked out of the crowd, his staggering steps looked a little rickety.
Before the other party could speak first, Yelus took the lead and took off the jade pendant from his waist to prove his identity.
"Grandpa, I used to visit you with my mother when I was young, I wonder if you still have an impression of me?"
Jerus stepped forward politely.
The old man looked at the jade pendant in his hand, looked at him carefully, and sighed slightly, "It turned out to be fat, after so many years, you have grown so big!" ”
Yerus scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, don't call me by my nickname, it makes people feel a little embarrassed." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and introduced to the two people behind him, "This is the leader of the Tantai tribe, Tantai Cuo." It was a good friend of my mother's, and I grew up under the watchful eye of his old man. ”
A pair of cloudy eyes swirled back and forth on their bodies for a long time, and it took a while before he smiled dumbly, "I didn't expect that Chubby has already married a wife, why don't you call me, an old man, to congratulate him?" ”
He could see that Li Changge was a daughter, which was not uncommon.
But this obviously misunderstands the relationship between the two of them.
"Grandpa may have misunderstood, the little prince and I are innocent and don't have much contact. He came with me today, but only to do the warmth of a friend. ”
