Lan Ziyi rode on a horse, and with him was Temoshenge,

The two walked at the back of the line, and in front of them was the entire Er Jin tribe.

Timoshenge slowly stopped the horse, and Lan Ziyi also stopped aside,

Timoshenko says:

"Anda, there is no such thing as a feast, you have been entertaining us for several days, and it is time to leave."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Brother, I want to give you another ride."

Timoshenko laughed:

"You're going to come with us to the ranch again. How about being a man of the steppe with me, and don't go back to Middle-earth, how about it? “

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"That's not going to work, I still have something to do."

Temoshenko laughed again:

"You Middle-earth people are mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, you dare not stay, and you are reluctant to leave. Leave you alone, I'll go first. “

As he spoke, he raised his whip and prepared to whip the horse's buttocks.

Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"Then I won't send it, brother, take care."

Timoshengo looked at Lan Ziyi and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect me to marry you, a native of Middle-earth, and still cherish each other so much. Then I'm leaving, I'm always welcome to you, goodbye! “

Saying that, he hurried and whipped up, and chased all the way into the tribesmen who were walking in front.

Lan Ziyi watched Timoshenge go away, stood on horseback and hugged his fists to:

"Take care."

After that, he turned his horse's head and walked in the direction of the camp.

After walking a few steps, the two brothers Peach and Rabbit rode up to meet them.

Seeing Lan Ziyi's lonely expression, Tao Zhutu pouted and said:

"Isn't it just a Tartar, it's only been a few days since we met, is it necessary to deepen the friendship so deeply?"

Lan Ziyi was unhappy when he heard Tao Zhutu's words, and comforted with a smile:

"Third brother, of course, the brother's parting is heartbreaking. My third brother and I grew up together, when I was a child, I went out to steal peaches and teasing the dog as if it happened yesterday, but now I see it every day, so I don't have to think about those sad partings, if I really want to separate in the future, I will definitely be more uncomfortable than today. “

When Peach Rabbit heard this, he laughed again and said:

"Young master, our brother must follow the young master well, and he will never be separated from the young master. You say yes, second brother? “

Saying that, he asked the peach to chase the deer,

Tao Zhulu replied with a smile:

That's true. Young master, let's hurry up, go back and take a shower and change clothes, and then we will have to complete the marriage ceremony with a kind and bitter daughter. “

Lan Ziyi nodded after hearing this, and the three of them urged the horses to run towards the camp.

When he returned to the camp, it was already afternoon, and Lan Ziyi ate some dry food casually and was put over by the shamans.

After bathing, applying spices, changing into new clothes, he was placed in a tent alone,

Outside, there is a circle of Sama holding various magic instruments, singing and dancing,

From time to time, a colorful wizard with a painted face came in, and sprinkled water on Lan Ziyi's body with words in his mouth.

Lan Ziyi is not moving when he sits in the tent, nor is he still,

Every time I see those strangely dressed wizards, I want to laugh, and it takes a lot of strength to hold back.

However, thinking that he was not the only one who was suffering so much now, Lan Ziyi's heart was relieved when his daughter was also suffering the same torture in another tent.

By the time the ceremony was over, it was night,

The bright moon hangs high,

Lan Ziyi walked to a wooden pile surrounded by a group of wizards,

He was accompanied by a costumed girl who was also surrounded by wizards.

It seems that this is the daughter of Oi Kugai.

Lan Ziyi and the girl came to the wooden pile and took the wine handed by the wizard next to them.

After exchanging with each other, they drank it all,

Then the two of them took the torch together and lit the pile.

The shamans next to them began the next round of prayers around the lit blazing fire,

Lan Ziyi sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire bored, and the girl sat beside him curled up,

Just when Lan Ziyi was in a trance, the girl spoke

"You know what? I've got a sweetheart. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he leaned back, supported his body with his hands, looked up at the starry sky, and said:

"Oh, it's a shame I haven't."

The maiden stared at the fire, and then said:

"It's a pity he's dead."

Lan Ziyi said noncommittally:

"That's really bad news."

The girl said:

"I was killed by your Taisho army during the Battle of the Royal Court."

Lan Ziyi didn't answer the girl when he heard this, he sat up straight and stared at the bonfire again.

After the girl stopped for a while, seeing that Lan Ziyi did not react, she said:

"What you end up with is an empty shell anyway, and I won't marry you."

Lan Ziyi looked at the bonfire, grabbed something from the ground and added it to the fire, and said:

"You haven't figured out your own situation, and you've mistaken mine. Nobody cares what you think, and no one cares what I do,

Neither the Taisho Imperial Court nor your father Oi Kugai cares about what will happen, they only care about whether today's ceremony is successful or not. So far, it's been successful, I'm sitting here with you, listening to the babbling of this group of crazy people pretending to be ghosts next to me, it's going to be over soon, don't worry. “

The girl looked at Lan Ziyi in surprise and said:

"This betrothal is sacred, and the gods of heaven are watching all this, if you desecrate it like this......"

"It's just a ritual, nothing special. Just as you won't fall in love with me because of this engagement, I won't change anything because of this engagement. “

The girl was so angry that her face was flushed, and she asked Lan Ziyi:

"Then why are you here?"

Hearing this question, Lan Ziyi's expression became serious,

He looked at the campfire and said firmly:

"I came here for the common people in the world and for the peace of the world. No matter what the ritual looks like, it can bring peace, and that's a good thing. “

The girl was shocked, she didn't expect that the person in front of her didn't take this marriage seriously at all,

The girl asked bitterly:

"So you are willing to become a pawn in politics and are willing to accept this false marriage."

Lan Ziyi corrected:

"It's the chess pieces who can't figure out what is going on and can't change the situation, I'm not. I am happy to get married, this is where my value is reflected, as for the future life after marriage...... Seriously, you don't have to think of yourself as important. ”

The girl was ashamed and angry when she heard this, and she glared at Lan Ziyi with tears in her eyes.

By this time, the chanting of the wizards had gradually stopped, and the ritual was about to end.

Lan Ziyi didn't care about the girl in front of her, and immediately got up and walked towards the grassland after the wizard signaled that she could leave.

==================

Lan Ziyi walked alone on the grassland, and the moon and stars in the sky were reflected on the ground.

There is no grassland anymore, and the boundary between heaven and earth has long been lost,

Every step of Lan Ziyi is like walking in the sky, the moon seems to be swaying beside him, and the stars seem to be able to reach out.

Although the night breeze is cold, it is refreshing every time the wind blows across the face,

That calmness is uplifting, and it makes people's thoughts drift with it.

"Am I going to wander on the savannah like this? Will I just blow to the ends of the earth and blow into people's hearts? Was there anyone back then who stood proudly between heaven and earth like me now, experiencing the boundless universe? Yes, right? Absolutely. Even if they are not remembered by history, they have been remembered in their souls, and I, not only have to remember myself, but also let heaven and earth remember me. ”

The sound of horses' hooves pulled Lan Ziyi's thoughts back,

A majestic voice said:

"Even if you're not far from the camp, it's dangerous for such a person to run outside."

Lan Ziyi heard the voice, and it turned out to be his father.

Lan Qianzhen rode a horse, and there was a horse behind him,

Not far away, several well-armed warriors followed closely.

Lan Qianzhen didn't light a torch, and by the moonlight, Lan Ziyi saw his father beckoning him to get on the horse.

Lan Ziyi took the reins and straddled the saddle and got on the horse.

Lan Qianjin motioned for the warriors behind him to distance themselves from them.

The father and son rode on their horses, regardless of the direction, and just walked along the grassland with the horses.

After a while, Lan Qianjin said:

"From the time you got out of the jam to the time you led your raid on the horse thieves, you did a great job. Where did you learn it? ”

Lan Ziyi casually returned:

"I've seen it all in Luoyan Pass, and I still need to learn?"

Lan Qianzhen smiled, although he couldn't see his face in the night, Lan Ziyi still felt his father's excitement.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi felt unhappy in his heart, and said angrily:

"I won't lead troops into battle, whether I will or not. I want to study and test for fame. ”

Lan Qianzhen nodded and replied:

"Okay, study hard when you go back, and go to the test to make a name for yourself!"

Lan Ziyi was taken aback, in the past, Lan Qianzhen was angry when he heard that his son wanted to test his fame instead of inheriting the ancestral industry, but today the sun rose from the west and actually agreed to Lan Ziyi's test for fame.

Lan Qianjin continued:

"I forced you to learn to fight because I want you to inherit my Lan family's military general tradition, and now I know that you have it in your bones, so you can learn it according to your own temperament."

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi walked silently for a while and asked:

"Father also thinks that our family is going to enter Beijing?"

Lan Qianzhen replied:

"Whether our family enters Beijing or not, you should go your own way. I want you to learn to fight so that you can inherit the will of your ancestors,

Not to make you a general. If God really intended, you can't escape your fate, you can only become the protagonist of your own story, and you won't be anyone else. “

兰子义 says:

"Father, relying on fighting, killing, and military exploits has been a border army all his life, and he will always be looked down upon. What's more, the real way to maintain the peace of the Taisho world is to rely on the education of saints, not to fight and kill. If I want to gain fame, I want to use my skills where they should be used, and use my wisdom and wisdom to seek the well-being of all people in the world. ”

Lan Qianzhen smiled when he heard this:

"Relying on military merit to cut a knife is the merit of a knife, and if you want to test your fame, child, it's not as simple as you think. The literati are not playing with us at all. ”

Lan Ziyi retorted:

"The imperial examination relies on everyone's true talent and learning, and if the article is well written, the saint will definitely be able to get good results in the examination. Not to kill, but to live. ”

Lan Qianzhen smiled:

"It's a good living person, but I'm afraid that most people are talking about living people but eating people. If you want to abandon Wu Congwen, then go ahead, this is the fate, but what I want to remind you is that no matter what, be yourself, don't deviate from your original nature. Come with me, I won't have the chance to walk through the night like this again. ”

Lan Ziyi didn't say anything after hearing this, just followed his father to stroll on the vast grassland, the father and son were quiet, there was no dialogue, but Lan Ziyi could feel that the distance between him and his father had become closer than before.
