After dinner that day, Cui Yi led a thousand soldiers to leave Yanzhou Mansion and marched south along the foothills of Yangui Mountain, rushing to the Borjik grassland outside Juxia Pass in Ganzhou.

At the same time, in the Busha tribe, Zhiying finally made up his mind.

At night, the grasslands are lit up by blazing bonfires, and the young girls of the Busha tribe hold a tambourine in one hand and a sand bell in the other, singing and dancing to the accompaniment of the horse-head fiddle and the Qiang flute.

A young man who played the moon harp knelt on one knee in front of his beloved girl and sang a love ballad, and the girl did not shy away from him, but responded generously to him, and the people sitting around the campfire applauded.

Bomur sat by the cowshed of an unknown house, the light of the fire reflecting his thin blade-like lips and sword-like eyebrows, and he was distracted from what he was thinking.

"The Borgik steppe is vast and vast, and her children are as passionate and unrestrained as she is, daring to love and hate." Holding Ying tucked away the windswept braids and walked over to him.

Bomur glanced at her and asked, "What about Xian'er?" ”

Zhi Yingwan smiled: "Sleep, Sanduo will help me take care of it." Why don't you go to drink? Sitting here alone. ”

Bomur nodded meaninglessly, did not answer, and continued to be in a daze.

Holding Ying leaned against the bullpen and looked at the end of the grassland from afar: "I have seriously thought about it, escape is not the solution to the problem, what should be faced is still to be faced." ”

"And what did you decide?"

"I decided to go back."

Bomur turned his head to look at her, as if trying to read the taste of "joke" from her expression, but failed, so he said, "Hmm." ”

Zhi Ying said abruptly: "Although the worst thing to do when you go back may be to be killed as a traitor, but that is also a helpless thing, since ancient times, my father's debts have been repaid, and my father's sins have been retributed to me, which is also very fair." Of course, more importantly, I feel that it is too unfair to you to continue to stay, I am not as good as you think, I actually ...... It's stupid. ”

Bomur frowned inadvertently: "Why do you say that?" ”

"My original intention of marrying King Wu was to use him and the crown prince to check and balance each other, so as to protect my whole family—my father, my mother, and my sister Ping An Kangtai. But under the trend of power and interests, they joined hands to betray me, drove me out of the capital, and handed me over to the family of my rival to ravage, even so, I still can't watch them die, as long as I am by the prince's side for a day, the prince will not dare to attack my family...... Ah, it's time to call the emperor. ”

Bomur's face did not change: "If you are worried about the safety of your parents, I can take them to the grassland, the Busha people have always had no quarrel with the world, and you can live a peaceful life here." ”

Zhiying smiled gratefully and helplessly, and said: "But my father will not be willing, he has worked hard for the first half of his life in order to be the emperor's father-in-law, and even my daughter can be given up, how can he be willing to give up high-ranking officials and Houlu, and be with the sheep and grassland as a companion from now on?" What's more, I have long been more than just taking advantage of the prince, I hope he is good, I hope he is happy, and I hope he can get everything he wants. ”

"What about yourself?" Bomur interrupted her, "What do you want for yourself?" ”

Zhiying was silent for a long time before saying: "I don't want anything, I don't even know when I will die, maybe the Chinese New Year's Eve in three years will be my death, before that, I just want to keep my family away from death and pain as much as possible." ”

Bomur nodded slowly: "I understand, when the drumming festival is over for three days, I will send you back to Ganzhou." ”

However, the world is unpredictable, Cui Yi rushed to the Selun River in pursuit, but Zhiying followed Bomur into Juxia Pass, and the two sides unfortunately passed by, and Cui Yi pounced.

The Busha people, including Sangduo, showed extreme displeasure to this Han prince who led the army to kill, and if anyone else, they would not have a good impression of the stranger who ran to his door with a big stick, and there were no more than a hundred people in the clan who could speak Chinese, and there were even fewer who were proficient, everyone made up their minds, and they all pretended not to speak Chinese, and pointed at him, Cui Yi had nothing to do except for dry staring.

The two sides confronted each other for a day, and the next morning, Bailizan's carrier pigeon flew in, Cui Yi unfolded the letter, only to see that it was written in detail how to deal with if the Busha people refused to cooperate, and even the lines were made up for him.

The position where the Yanzhou army was stationed was very close to the slope where the Busha tribe spent the winter, and the time for a cup of tea was reached, Cui Yi only took Cao Qian alone, and came to the periphery of the tribe, where the young man of the Buxia tribe held a cross crossbow, vigilantly stopped in front of him, and said something loudly in the local dialect.

"This king has no malice in coming here, but only to pick up his wife who has been left behind to go home for reunion, and each of you is also a family member with wives and children, can't you experience this kind of longing?" Cui Yi memorized it according to the script.

A young man of the Busha tribe said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "You come to pick up, your wife goes back, home, how can you be, bring it, then, more troops!" ”

Cui Yi continued to endorse: "Da Chu and Beidi have been at odds for generations, wars are continuous, and this king is a thorn in the side of the Beidi people, how dare you come alone?" Today, the king only brought one henchman to visit, which is the best sincerity. ”

Several young people exchanged words for a while, and one said: "No, there is, yours, wife, please go back, go." ”

Cui Yi raised his eyebrows: "This king's spies found that your clansmen were reading a wanted notice in the pass, and they followed him, and they have confirmed with their own eyes that they are here with you, dare to ask if there is a Central Plains woman in your tribe with a baby girl who is less than a year old?" That is the king's lost wife and daughter. ”

Several young people showed surprised looks, talked to each other a few words, the voice was quite loud, it seemed that there was an internal dispute, at this time Sang Duo came back from the river with a basin of washed clothes, saw this and rushed up to the young people and said loudly, the young people relayed Cui Yi's words to her, Sang Duo turned his head, glared at Cui Yi, and said unceremoniously: "We Busha people have rules, the women brought back by men from outside must stay, the person you are looking for is now the wife of our patriarch, please go back immediately, Don't come back again! ”

Cui Yi was suddenly shocked, dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word, but Cao Qian was so angry that he said loudly: "You are so bold, you dare to forcibly kidnap my princess of Dachu as your wife, aren't you afraid that our prince will wave his army south and destroy your entire clan!" ”

Sang Duo roared back without showing weakness: "My wife is not optimistic, I don't look for it if I lose it, and now I think about it, I come to the door to ask for it, are you a woman who can want to ask for things, and throw them away if you want to?" This girl will send you two words today, no way! If you want to fight, if you have a kind, you will fight! We, the sons and daughters of the Busha tribe, are all hot-blooded, and we are not afraid of you bandits! ”

"You!" Cao Qian didn't expect a woman of different races to speak Chinese so slippery, and her eloquence was quite good, and she couldn't even find a rebuttal for a while, so she hurriedly stabbed Cui Yi, who was still stunned, "Lord, Lord?" Lord, you have something to say! ”

Cui Yi was dazed: "Huh? Say what? ”

Cao Qian almost fell to the ground: "Didn't Mr. teach the prince how to deal with it in the letter?" Listen to it! ”

Cui Yi looked depressed: "But ...... The sir did not write what to say in this situation. ”

Cao Qian suddenly showed an expression that the sky had fallen: "Then what should I do?" ”

Cui Yi also showed an expression that the sky had fallen: "You ask this king, who does this king ask?" ”

The master and servant discussed for a while and didn't come up with an idea, but Sang Duo didn't have the patience to accompany them, and as soon as he turned around and was about to leave, Cui Yi hurriedly shouted: "Girl, please stay!" ”

"Why don't you give up?" Sando looked at them in disgust.

"Of course not," Cui Yiyi said solemnly, "Zhiying is the princess of this king, and this king will bring her back no matter what, you let her come out, and this king will tell her personally." ”

Sang Duo sneered and said disdainfully: "You're late, she's no longer here, my brother took her out to play, but he didn't say when he would come back." ”

Cui Yi suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning: "They went out together?" ”

Sang Duo looked at his shocked expression and felt very relieved, and said again: "Isn't it, when they come back from shopping, they will get married immediately." ”

But I didn't know that this sentence gave Cui Yi a glimmer of hope - it turned out that they hadn't gotten married yet, so it wasn't too late for them to come, as long as they grabbed Zhiying back before they worshipped? Then he was overjoyed: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Sando was inexplicable: "Thank me for what?" ”

Cui Yi turned a deaf ear, turned around and left, Sang Duo scolded in a low voice: "Neurotic." "Go back to dry your clothes.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! ”

Cui Yi strode in front, and Cao Qian chased desperately behind: "Where is the prince in a hurry?" ”

"Into town!" Cui Yi replied while hurrying back, "Enter the city immediately!" Summoning the order to go down, block all the main roads after the exit from Juxia Pass, and be sure to stop people! ”

Cao Qian still didn't react: "Madame is in the city?" How did the prince know? ”

While speaking, the two had already rushed back to the camp, and Cui Yi went straight to the stable: "The Beidi people get married, they only need to worship heaven and earth, exchange tokens, and drink a cup of wolf blood together, the Busha people are nomadic people like them, and the customs of marriage must be similar, there is no need to go out of their way to buy anything, the only possibility is that they want to marry according to the customs of the Han people, so the only place to buy a red candle wedding dress is in Juxia Pass!" ”

After speaking, the long legs flew on the horse, and rushed out of the camp without looking back, leaving Cao Qian in place and sighing: "No wonder it is said that the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, the prince is really the first time to be so smart." Then he went to the camp to convey the order, and a thousand people quickly pulled out the camp to rectify, and fanned out towards Juxia Pass.
