Chapter 289: A Chance Encounter

Hearing the last faint call of Ezhena in the deep ditch of the black hole, Makata was overwhelmed with grief and wept.

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info deep ditch as dark as ink, and no sound came from it.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and when the faint sound of horses' hooves was heard on the opposite side of the black ditch, it was becoming clearer and clearer, and Makata understood that now was not the time to be sad, and if he continued to be sad here, he would only waste the opportunity to escape with his life in exchange for his life.

With a pained face, Makata turned his horse's head, shouted angrily, and galloped away into the depths of the night.

Makata, who was alone, fled directionlessly in this vast grassland.

The sound of the horse's hooves was like a heavy sledgehammer, striking her fragile and miserable heart.

At this time, Makata was extremely confused and bitter in his heart.

Where am I going now?

Where else can I go?

As the night grew darker, Makata and the mount under her crotch were approaching the limit of their physical strength.

As the horse climbed over a gentle slope, the mount could no longer hold it up, and let out a long neigh, and fell to the ground.

The Makata, who suddenly fell from his horse, rolled off the hillside and hit his head heavily on a protruding rock on the hillside, causing him to get dizzy.

There was boundless darkness around him, and Makata subconsciously wiped his head with his hand, and found that there was warm liquid flowing out of his forehead, which should have been knocked out.

Makata struggled to get up from the ground, but there was a terrible pain in his right calf.

She stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Well, could it be that I broke my leg?"

Makata lamented in her heart, and as she lay on her back on the ground, tears could not help but flow out of her eyes.

It's just that before she could catch her breath, she immediately saw that in the distance, there were three or four pairs of green and shining light spots, quietly flashing.

"Whew!"

Several terrible wolf howls, like the bell of death, reached Makata's ears far away.

Ah, there are wolves!

These most cunning and ferocious animals in the steppe must have quietly followed themselves as prey that could not be easily caught by themselves.

Makata was terrified, but now she was in pain all over her body, her right leg was in pain, and it was impossible to escape.

In this boundless and terrible darkness, the extremely tired and desperate Makata, hearing the distant howl of wolves, began to fall deeper and deeper into a state of confusion.

"Ezhe, wait for me, your Makata will follow you, leave this world of strife and trouble, and be with you forever."

Makata muttered under his breath, slipping into a coma.

In a trance, she was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the darkness around her had suddenly disappeared, and on this grassy grassland, the sun was shining brightly, singing loudly, and she was dressed in full costume, dressed like a married bride.

And not far away, her lover Ezhe, dressed in the clothes of a great sweat, with a rich dowry and countless people, with herds of mules and horses and boundless sheep, walked towards her with a smile on his face.

So, the magnificently dressed Makata screamed for joy, opened his arms to his lover, and pounced.

When the green wolf eyes became clearer and clearer, a faint smile appeared on Makata's originally dull and numb face.

Then, her eyes went black and she didn't know anything.

Next to the black ditch, Prince Zheng Ji'er Harang, with his hands behind his back, stood solemnly on the bank of the ditch, with a sad and unbearable expression.

At this time, the white tooth soldiers lit torches, tied the torches with ropes and lowered them from the bank of the deep ditch, and looked down, but they could still only see a piece of black and mush, and the vague rocks on the bank of the ditch, and they could not see the bottom at all.

"Prince Zheng, we have carefully examined the deceased, but we have not found Ezhe and the princess. It seems that these two people should have fallen to their deaths in the deep ditch because they couldn't distinguish it because it was dark. ”

A white-toothed soldier who looked like a leader whispered to Zilharangyu.

Zilharang's face became more and more unbearable, and he let out a low sigh, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

He looked around blankly, said no more, then turned over and mounted his horse, and then raised his torch to the crowd, his face was hideous, and he waved his teeth and shouted angrily: "Wait for the order! Since Ezhe and the princess have fallen to their deaths in the deep ditch, we will return to the Qing Dynasty and report to the emperor. ”

"Whew, the minion obeys!"

。

When Makata woke up from her coma, she was almost unable to open her eyes when she was blinded by the blinding sunlight.

"Water, drink water, I want to drink water。。。。。"

Makata muttered in a low voice, but a voice next to her sounded in surprise: "Hey, she's awake?" Quick, help her up. ”

Yes?

!

This, this is Chinese!

Makata's heart was terrified, and his originally drowsy mind was instantly sobered up.

She vaguely remembered that she had passed out when the wolves were slowly approaching her, why now?

。

。

。

。

。

。

Strange, wasn't I eaten by a wolf?

How can I still be alive?

How did it fall into the hands of this group of Han people?

Makata's mind was foggy for a moment, and she struggled to sit up with her hands on her feet.

She squinted her eyes and took a quick look around, and was surprised to see that there were more than a hundred Han soldiers in fine iron armor around her, who were putting away their tents and looking like they were about to hurry again.

At this time, these Han people saw that she had woken up, and they all looked at her with concern.

"Hey, can you understand Chinese?" The voice just now sounded again, but it was a young Han cavalryman, squatting beside her, and said to her with a smile on his face. Makata looked around the strange Han people with wary eyes, and only after finding that their expressions did not seem to have any malicious intent, did he hesitantly nod his head. "If you understand, that's good." The young cavalryman smiled again and said, "What did you just say?" Are you hungry? "Water, I want to drink water." Makata said to the cavalryman in stiff Chinese. "Okay, you wait." The young horseman quickly got up, removed the water bladder from one of his mounts, and handed it to Makata. As Makata gulped down water, the young cavalryman smiled at her and said, "You woman, let me ask you, where are you from, and how did you fall unconscious on this slope last night?" Makata was momentarily speechless. She drank all the water in the bladder in one go, panting and not answering. "Hey, do you know that you woman is really lucky, if you hadn't run into us, you would have been eaten by wolves." The young cavalryman continued to smile and said to her: "Last night, when our party had just arrived at the bottom of this hillside, because it was getting late, we wanted to rest at the bottom of this hill, when we suddenly heard horses neighing on the slope. So we immediately lit torches and hurried over, but we saw that five or six wild wolves were about to gnaw on a wounded horse, and the horse was besieged by the wolves, and the pain was so loud that we waited for us to draw our bows and arrows, and killed three wolves in a row, and the rest of the wolves saw that the situation was not right, and they scattered and fled. The cavalry paused, and then continued: "However, the horse was bitten by a wolf, and its intestines rolled to the ground, and the veins in its neck were also bitten off, and it died after a struggle and a wail. At this time, Lord Xu Xiu of our army told us that this mount was injured here, and there was probably its owner nearby, but we should look for it. So, I waited until I lit a torch and searched around, and in a short time I found you under a rock. When Makata heard this, he finally understood why he had fallen into the hands of this strange group of Han Chinese. It's just that her heart is very bitter. Why save me? Now that I have betrayed my parents, and my beloved lover has died, it can be said that I am already alone, and the world is intolerable, what is the point of saving a seriously injured woman like me, except for letting me continue to suffer from desolation in this cold world? Thinking of this, Makata's eyes were filled with tears. When the cavalryman saw her so sad, he thought that he had touched her sad things, and his face suddenly looked worried, and he hurriedly said: "Girl, it is inconvenient for you to say, and I will not ask more, so you are better now?" Makata nodded and replied softly: "Much better, thank you for saving me, may I ask your name?" Who are you, and where are you going? The cavalry laughed: "My name is Ding Er, and I am the Ming army of the Golden Wolf Battalion of Daming Jintang City, and now, I am about to rush to the Tumut Department to propose to the Tumut Khan Dabur for our army, Lord Li." "Oh, Master Li?" "Yes, my family is a famous young tiger general in the Ming Dynasty, a famous hero in Mobei, and Li Xiao, the red phoenix." After listening to Ding Er's answer, Makata felt as if he had been stabbed with a knife in his heart. Li Xiao? Their main general is actually that Chifeng Bo Li Xiao?! Hmph, Li Xiao! Li Xiao of the dog!! For a moment, Makata gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. It's you, bastard Li Xiao, who sent a messenger to my Qing Dynasty to propose peace between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and let me marry your Ming Emperor. I hate you for this frivolous suggestion, but it has ruined the happiness of my Macata's life! How can you not be a bastard, this bullshit suggestion made by my father, how can my father be lustful, break his promise and repent of marriage, and break me and Ezhe alive. Let's be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, one has a broken grassland, and the other is better than death! Li Xiao, if there is a chance, I, Makata, would rather fight for my life than take your dog's life to avenge my dead lover! In an instant, a layer of cold color appeared on Makata's face, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with resentment. In her heart, a cruel plan swelled up steeply. At this time, she saw again that a Han cultural officer who was dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves, with a square temperament, and a completely different appearance from these Ming cavalrymen in full armor, walked slowly towards her accompanied by several cavalrymen. Seeing this person walking towards him, Makata said secretly in his heart, this person should be the leader of these Ming troops, it is estimated that it is the director Xu Xiu that Ding Er said, she guessed correctly, this person is Xu Xiu, the director of the Golden Wolf Battalion Supervision and Fu Division, who was ordered by Li Xiao to go to the Tumut Department to propose relatives. At this time, the young cavalryman Ding Er saw Xu Xiu coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Director Xu, you are here." Xu Xiu snorted, walked past Ding Er, and said with a kind smile to Makata: "Girl, if our army hadn't come in time yesterday, I'm afraid that you would have died in the belly of a wolf." But I don't know if your surname is Fang, girl, where is your name? How could you come to this barren place alone? Makata groaned in his heart for a while, and immediately said with a crying voice: "The little woman is a Qing woman, named Yagren, because she was accepted as a concubine by my Niu Lu Ezhen, I would rather die than obey. Niu Lu Ezhen was angry, so he killed my parents together, the little woman fled in fear, when she went to the Mongolian Naiman Department, she was captured by the Mongolian caravan, and when she was escorted to her tribe, fortunately the Mongols were inconvenient to guard last night, the little woman grabbed her horse and fled, who knew that it was dark and night, and she did not know the direction, and broke her mount on this slope, and she was almost eaten by wolves. Fortunately, the benefactors rescued her in time, and the little girl escaped with her life. At this, Makata hid her face and began to weep again. Listening to Makata's words, Xu Xiu looked sympathetic, but his heart was full of suspicion. No, an ordinary banner woman was able to escape smoothly from the well-defended Qing border to the Mongolian border. After being captured by the Mongols, and having such good luck to be able to take the horse again and escape? This sympathetic-sounding story is too flawed. However, although Xu Xiu thought so in his heart, he didn't poke her of course, he smiled and said, "Oh, what happened to the girl really makes Xu sympathetic." Fortunately, the girl was not injured by the wolves, but she was glad to be tight. Xu Xiu paused, and replied: "By the way, girl, I have examined it with the team doctor yesterday, although the girl was seriously injured, she only fell and injured her tendons, and wore out the flesh and skin, but fortunately did not hurt the bones, and she should be raised for a while." But I don't know what relatives and friends the girl has? If you stop by the way, our army can send you back. When Makata heard this, she covered her face and wept again, "My parents are dead, and I am a lonely woman, who is dying everywhere, where can I go?" Xu Xiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered to her: "That's it, Yagren, you can go to the Tumut Ministry with me, I will arrange for you to temporarily live and recover in the Tumut Ministry, and in the future, whether you want to return to the Qing Dynasty or stay in Mongolia, you can do whatever you want." A cold light flashed in Makata's eyes, but on the surface he was grateful. Subsequently, after feeding Makata a little food, Xu Xiu arranged a specially prepared padded horse for her to ride, and arranged Ding Er to take care of her. Ding Er happily agreed, and then carefully helped her onto the horse. Then, the group set out from the camp and marched in the direction of the camp of Tumut Khan. On the vast grassland, Makata, who followed these Ming troops all the way west, noticed that in addition to the accompanying water and food, these Ming troops also brought six huge four-wheeled carriages. Each cart was loaded with silk, tea, grain, ironware, salt, cigarettes and other goods that were in short supply on the grassland. Makata secretly thought in his heart that these things should be the dowry gift that Li Xiao gave to Tumut Khan. Seeing this Li Xiao's courtship team, with such a rich and luxurious dowry, to ask the Tumut Ministry to marry the princess, Makata thought of his own tragic love and fate, as well as the lover who died tragically in that nameless ditch, and the hatred for Li Xiao in his heart was even more incomprehensible. "Li Xiao, who entered the dog, one day, I, Makata, will kill you with my own hands!" Makata swore hatefully in his heart.
