(22) The warmth of the grass hut is supported by the general
Aledi ran to the cabin he was familiar with and knocked eagerly at the door.
A woman came out of the door, wearing a coarse cloth cloak, and said strangely: "Why are you here today?" ”
Aledi took her in his arms: "We're going to leave quickly, we have to leave Loulan!" ”
"You, what do you say?"
The little boy inside ran out and cried out cheerfully, "Daddy! Daddy! ”
Aledi crouched down and put his arms around the little boy.
The woman saw that he was sweating, and quickly wiped him up, pulled him into the house, and poured some water for him. In the woman's impression, Aledi had never been so agitated, and he had never been flustered under any circumstances.
"I didn't expect that my father summoned me today and asked me to marry the princess of the Dayue clan."
The woman frowned, but quickly regained her composure: "This is not a bad thing, it proves that the king really likes you!" ”
"I swear to the gods that I will love you only in this life, and that you are my wife, and there can be no one else."
The woman said: "You know my background, I know your status even more, it is only a matter of time before you marry someone with the same status as yours!" ”
Aledi slapped himself on the head with bitter tears: "It's all my fault, I always didn't dare to tell my father about you, and now I'm so passive!" I was too scared to say anything. It's useless! ”
The woman hurriedly comforted: "If you talk about others, I don't know, but if it's a princess, I've seen her, what a beautiful and kind person she is!" She helped me when the villagers beat me. She is a good person, and she is more worthy of your identity and you as a person! ”
Aledi said: "No matter how good and beautiful she is, she can't compare to you in my heart!" After a pause, he said: "I figured it out, I have always dared not say much, always for my identity, and always want to share for my father, and I, I can't laugh freely, cry dare not make a sound, joy, anger and sorrow must be hidden, how dare to indulge, the happiest is just time with you." Now I can't hesitate any longer, I'll go back and arrange, our family of three will flee to other places as soon as possible, in short, I will never marry her! ”
The woman burst into tears: "How can you do this! ”
"Only for my vows, my heart!" Aledi and his wife were talking, but they heard a sound outside, but when they came out, they saw nothing, and the two talked for a while, and Aledi rode back to the royal court.
Aledi paced and thought about it, and always felt that there were people outside the hut today, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he had no sleep all night, and as soon as the morning came, he ordered someone to invite Henna to come.
Although Henna has not been in Loulan for a long time, she has a clear understanding of each highness. Feida is intelligent and gentle, and has a good bearing; Ram is straightforward and strong-blooded, but Aledi, who doesn't play with them much on weekdays, is much more withdrawn, and would rather be alone with the lonely lamp. However, for the affairs of the country, he can always make decisive judgments, and Henna is really a little afraid of him, let alone fathoming him, and it is very strange that he is looking for himself today.
As soon as he saw Henna, Aledi hurriedly retreated left and right, approached Henna, and startled her.
"General Haina, I have something to ask you for." Aledi bowed deeply: "Please General Henna help me, and also help the princess." ”
As soon as Henna heard the princess, she immediately became nervous.
"No one in Loulan can help me this time, only you, you are the princess's friend, and you must hope that the princess will be happy."
"Your Highness is blunt." Henna said.
"My father has an arrangement, and he wants me to marry a princess!"
Henna was dumbfounded on the spot.
"But I have already secretly married and have a son. I don't want to marry a princess, can General Henna understand! Aledi kept an eye on Heina's expression.
Henna knew in her heart that the princess just didn't want to marry, so she hurriedly said: "I understand, but why does Your Highness not tell King Loulan your sincerity, maybe the king can change his mind." ”
"No, it won't." Aledi shook his head: "It's not my personal business to marry the princess now. "Of course, Aledi didn't say much about Loulan's thoughts on the grassland." Yesterday I heard the news, so I hurried out to find my wife and children, but when I came back, I thought repeatedly, I may have been followed, although I don't know who it is, but the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and my father has asked me to deal with a few important things today, and the more I can't go out of the royal court, I can only beg you after thinking about it, let my wife and children change their place of residence first in case of accidents. ”
"Little things! Your Highness, you only tell me the location, I'll go now, I'll come back and tell you when the place is changed. Henna said.
Al Dubai worshipped and dubbed the residence of his wife and children, and Henna thought to herself, as if she had been to this place herself.
"Henna, this is my token, my wife knows it, and when she sees it, she will believe that I sent you." Aledi handed Henna a piece of close-fitting mutton fat jade, which was soft and warm to the touch.
Henna has been really busy lately, the war is over, the princess's business, Feida's business, and now there is more Aledi's business. She rushed all the way, not daring to delay, isn't this the same hill that she played with the princess and a few young people last time. Henna didn't have time to think about it, and continued to rush up the hill, and when she could already see the cabin, she could already see two masked men smashing open the windows of the cabin, and she could hear the little boy's cry.
Henna hurried over, and the masked man's knife was already cutting at the woman, causing Henna to kick through the side door.
When Henna caught a glimpse of the woman, wasn't it the "Pipa Spirit" she had saved that day?
The woman panicked, her arm was already injured, and she covered her arm with one hand and used her body to block it in front of the child. Henna didn't bother to ask anything, and got into a fight with the two assassins. As soon as the assassin saw Henna, the two looked at each other, but they avoided it a little, and during the fight, Henna could feel that they deliberately avoided their own vital points, and the strength of the sword was a little smaller, and she was very strange.
The two masked men, fighting at any time, prolonged, became more and more anxious. The two of them looked at each other, one of them was drawn aside during the fight, and the other was slashed at the woman, and the clinker suddenly pounced on the child from behind his mother, and the masked man was obviously afraid of hurting the child, and the knife turned outside in mid-air. At the same time, he grabbed the child with one hand and turned his head to run.
"Son, my son!" The woman cried.
Seeing the situation here, the other person also wanted to evacuate, but Henna stumbled him and made it difficult for him to get out, and the masked man became more and more panicked, and instantly made Hena pull off the face towel.
"How can it be you!" Henna was shocked, this person was a guard she knew in the guard camp back then, needless to say that the other person must have been, everyone had learned from each other back then, and Fran was still his master, no wonder the two were always unwilling to fight against themselves with all their might.
The man whispered "General Henna" in a panic, and took advantage of Henna's hesitation to jump out of the window and run away.
When Henna saw that it was a guard, she felt a little relieved, and knew where to settle accounts with them, so she took the first step to help the woman up.
