"Hahahaha, Brother Li, your flickering eyes have deceived you, I said why my brother is always not close to women, it turns out that this is good."

After Ma Yuan heard Zhu Lihua's forcible defense, he seemed to have discovered a very interesting thing, and said excitedly.

Moreover, when he heard that Zhu Lihua was quite confident in seizing Chaona, his heart was also relaxed.

He only seized this matter and launched an offensive against Zhu Lihua, because this was also the first time that Ma Yuan had touched the depths of Zhu Lihua's heart at close range, so he naturally would not let go of such a God-given opportunity.

"You kid, what are you talking about, there's nothing to do." Lu Lihua continued to argue.

"Say it, Brother Li, it's still very bitter to hold it in my heart, I, Ma Yuan, swear to the sky, I will never say this to a third person, if you violate the oath, the sky will be thundered five times, and the bones of life and death will be scattered." Ma Yuan's face was solemn and he made an oath to Zhu Lihua.

Seeing this, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but feel quite helpless, thought about it again and again, and after repeated hesitation, he said to Ma Yuan:

"It's not as unbearable as you think, in fact, the girl I like is Rongren.

However, I don't have anything wrong with her, after all, Rong and Qin are different, and now it's wartime, I'm afraid we will never see each other again in this life. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but think of the woman in a white gauze dress singing "Pu Jia" under the bright moon and clear spring, and Yu Xin'er riding a horse and galloping on the hillside in the east of Qingshui County.

It's been three months, where are you? Can you still be healthy?

Yu Lihua lowered his head and pondered, and Yu Xin'er's figure and appearance appeared in his heart.

And Ma Yuan, who was beside him, was rarely quiet and didn't say a word.

He quietly sat down beside Lihua and stared sideways at the funny picture of Lihua smiling and sighing.

After some time, Zhu Lihua woke up from his contemplation, and when he saw Ma Yuan smiling at him, he also smiled awkwardly at him.

For some reason, the gentleman in front of him never felt bad about himself, and he believed in him from the bottom of his heart.

Subsequently, Zhu Lihua told Ma Yuan about the first meeting with Yu Xin'er and the second meeting.

Ma Yuan also listened carefully to Zhu Lihua telling his past with Yu Xin'er one by one, but his expression changed from a smile at the beginning, and then gradually changed to thoughtful, and then to solemn.

When he heard Yu Xin'er tell him that if she died in the grassland, the horse would tell her, the birds would tell her, and if she died in the water, the fish would tell her, and when the time came, she couldn't help but change her face.

Of course, Lu Lihua saw the change in Ma Yuan's expression, and he thought that Ma Yuan had a rebellious feeling after learning that the woman he liked was not only a Rong person but also a general of the Rong people, so he hurriedly said to Ma Yuan: "Brother Ma, please ...... this matter."

As soon as he said this, a wry smile appeared on Ma Yuan's face.

He looked at Lihua with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and slowly said to Lihua:

"I swore that my brother can rest assured, but I think my brother and that Yu Xin'er have no result after all, I originally wanted to persuade my brother a few words, but now I don't worry much about you, brother."

Hearing Ma Yuan say this, a sense of decadence rose in his heart for no reason, but he was really curious about what Ma Yuan said seemed to have another deep meaning, so he asked, "Brother Ma, do you know something?" ”

Ma Yuan sighed and said, "When I was a child, I heard that my uncle came home and told me many stories about the Rong people, which are not known to many people in the Great Zhou world, and they are all information that countless Iron Eagle swordsmen have risked their lives in exchange.

Many of these things are too unbelievable, so I didn't take them seriously, but listening to what my brother said today, I knew that the stories my uncle told me were indeed true. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Yuan looked at Lihua with some sympathy, as if he was hesitating whether to tell Lihua about these things, but in the end he stomped his feet, as if he had made up his mind and said to Lihua:

"Uncle once said that at the beginning, Yao Jun led the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to fight with Rong Di for more than ten years before completely driving the Rong people out of the pass, which is something known to everyone in the world.

But in fact, Yao Jun reached some compromises with Shan Yu of the Rong people at that time, which laid the current pattern, so the fact that Yao Jun returned from defeat and returned from the customs as known to the world is itself fake.

In return, Yao Jun promised not to continue to exterminate the Rong people, but to define the large periphery in Xiao Pass, Qin Lan and Sumeru Twelve Scattered Passes, and never advance westward in the future.

For this reason, Yao Jun personally directed the scene of the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and fabricated the rumor that if they went out of the west, they would die violently.

Because they knew that some places in the land of Kansai would indeed cause people to die of mutations, so after Yao Jun made this matter public, people in the world believed in the fact that they would die a hundred miles away.

But my brother thinks about it, if it is really the land of Kansai that will lead to the death of disease, then why won't those Rong people die. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Lihua nodded and said to Ma Yuan: "In fact, I have heard Jie Zi say these things, but Jie Zi once said that these things are spread in some nuclear families and public families, and almost everyone feels that these things are just stories and are not credible. ”

Ma Yuan smiled slightly and said: "This is Yao Jun's power, in order to achieve the purpose of parole the truth, she did not hesitate to rewrite the history books and personally refer to the deer as a horse, which is why there is a consensus of everyone today, even the descendants of those families who originally knew the truth feel that it is true and false, and it is true."

Brother, my uncle is a pigg, if the truth is determined, my uncle thinks that he is second, and no one in the world dares to say that he is the first. ”

Seeing that Lihua nodded again and listened carefully to what he said, Ma Yuan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Is my brother thinking, what do these things have to do with Yu Xin'er?"

After saying this, I saw that Zhu Lihua was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly, obviously being said by himself.

Ma Yuangang wanted to be proud, but thought that what he was about to say might not be a good thing for Yu Lihua, so he held back and continued expressionlessly:

"Does my brother know about worms?"

Lu Lihua nodded and said: "I heard that Jie Zi said that they are Western aliens, claiming to be gods, half-human and half-beast, and fierce by nature, and they can survive in those places that will make people mutate and die without any impact."

It is rumored that the Rong people will eat people, and those worms will feed on the Rong people. ”

"Brother, now do you believe the words of the Rong people who eat people?"

Hearing Ma Yuan's question, Zhu Lihua once again remembered Yu Xin'er's appearance, smiled and shook his head.

But Ma Yun continued: "It may not be true that the Rong people eat people, but it is a true thing for the worms to eat the Rong people. ”

Ignoring the somewhat surprised Zhu Lihua after hearing this, Ma Yuan continued: "Actually, my uncle said that he didn't particularly know the habits of worms, but those Iron Eagle swordsmen who were able to come back once said that worms would concentrate on invading the territory of the Rong people every ten years or so, and there were no people and animals everywhere they passed.

Those who are captured are likely to be caught by the worms and eaten as food.

Therefore, when the worms invade the Rong people, the Rong people will use the strength of the whole country to attack our Qin State, one is to plunder some people for their tribe to replenish, and the other is to plunder property and livestock for their future tribe survival needs. ”

"Then why didn't the Rong people concentrate their forces to resist the creeping, but instead attacked my Qin State?"

"Brother, I also asked my uncle this question, and my uncle said that if you know that you can't beat it, don't send it to death, and I'd rather than think about the broken jade, and get back the lost things from elsewhere, as long as people live, there is hope, but if people die, then there will be nothing."

Zhu Lihua thought thoughtfully about what Zhang Ziyu said, although it sounded a little cowardly, but when you think about it, it is such a truth.

"I still don't understand, what does this matter have to do with Yu Xin'er?"

Seeing that Lihua asked a little anxiously, Ma Yuan suddenly understood that Lihua was already a little nervous, and obviously he also felt that what he said later would not be good news.

Ma Yuan nodded to Lihua, signaled him to get ready, and said: "Although the number of worms is small, it seems that compared with the Rong people, even the Rong people cannot resist the attack of the worms with the strength of the whole country, so the Rong people will take the initiative to sacrifice some old, weak, sick and disabled people to the worms to reduce the harm of the worms to the Rong people."

However, there is one more thing that the Rong people need to do, and this matter is the key to the Creep's retreat, that is, to hand over the Rong people's "Tears of the Holy Maiden" to the Creep. ”

"Tears of the Holy Maiden?"

"Uncle doesn't know what the tears of the saints are, I think maybe they have some kind of sacrificial means, in fact, the real situation is that every generation of saints of the Rong people has to marry the king of the worms, give birth to an heir, and then be killed by the king of the worms.

When the next generation of worm kings becomes adults, they will welcome a new generation of saints. ”

"Let's do it",

Speaking of this, Ma Yuan saw the pale Zhu Lihua in front of him, and his originally straight body suddenly stiffened.

The young man in his twenties hunched his back like an eighty-year-old man and lowered his head, while his hair followed him and knocked over the glass of water on the desk.

"Can the holy daughter of the Rong people understand the language of beasts?" After a moment of silence, Lihua asked softly.

"Yes, brother, how else would you be able to talk to the worms, and it is rumored that the saints of each generation of them are extremely beautiful, and they all wear only white clothes."

Hearing this, Zhu Lihua was stunned as if he had lost his soul. Obviously, Yu Xin'er must be the holy daughter of this generation of Rong people,

Although she didn't know Yu Xin'er for a short time, for some reason, she couldn't forget that beautiful woman, and the moment she learned that she was a saint, she felt like the sky was falling apart.

After another period of silence, Zhu Lihua put his trembling hands on the desk and stammered:

"So, what does the writ look like?"

"Brother, according to rumors, Worm is not human. But my uncle is not very sure, after all, almost none of the people who have seen the worms can come back alive, whether it is the Rong people or our Qin people. ”
