"Jingzhou narcissus is full of blooms, and this life is dead."

- "The Book of the White Horse"

The first month of the Chang'an calendar.

Wuwei County.

The entire Wuwei County was shrouded in a haze at the moment, with a thick cloud on his head, the smell of blood in the city, and 50,000 Menghu troops stationed outside the city.

The county government was noisy, the leaders of Menghu were drinking wine and eating meat around the brazier, and on the street, those small leaders were either pulling Han women to tease or loot the people, and the soldiers were even more murderous and arsonous, and they were rampant.

An ancient city with a long history since ancient times, is being bullied by the Menghu people, birds who have nowhere to feed, singing faintly, it seems to be able to hear the cry of this ancient city.

The streets are full of broken bricks and tiles, no flaming red lanterns, no fireworks and willow alleys, and no jubilation. The little beggar curled up on the straw mat looked at the sky with his eyes, and on his dirty little face, tears rushed out of two white traces.

In the dye shop with broken doors, there were screams and desolation.

On the street, a woman with tattered clothes and a disheveled hair fell to the ground, crying heartbreakingly.

In the distance, a few Menghu people were laughing, and they were walking away with their pants on.

A man walked by with his head bowed, ripped off his cloak, wrapped around the woman, picked her up, and quickly left.

A pharmacy.

"Boss, you're back." The apprentice saw the master coming back through the crack in the door and quickly opened the door.

The man entered the door and placed the woman on the bench, only to realize that the woman had fainted.

"Go and prepare some hot water to eat, so that you can take care of it." The middle-aged man said.

"Master, who is this?" The apprentice asked puzzled, thinking about how the master could pick up a woman and come back, and the master had to tear him alive if she knew about it.

"Poor man, go, what nonsense." The middle-aged man is angry, and the rabbit cub is getting more and more ghostly.

The apprentice ran into the backyard with a puff of smoke.

At this time, a woman happened to come out of the back hall.

Seeing this, his brows furrowed.

"Listen to my explanation......" Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said.

"Explain what!" The woman snapped, walking over to the woman and looking at her carefully.

"Some qi deficiency and body cold, why don't you hurry up and boil some medicine." Suddenly, she whispered.

The middle-aged man was stunned, uncomfortable for a while, and reacted for a long time before he hurriedly went to dispense medicine.

"Alas, when will you leave these things that you say are inferior to beasts......" the woman said disappointedly.

"Master, the water is coming." The apprentice brought hot water.

"Don't worry, Hua Niang, it'll be fine." The middle-aged man said firmly.

"Master, when will the officers and soldiers come over, I heard that the Suzhou battalion has not beaten these bad guys." The apprentice said, and looked out through the crack in the door uneasily.

"Nonsense, the Suzhou battalion is a top hero, but if you can't beat it, it's because there are too few people and you are outnumbered, do you understand?" The middle-aged man prepared the medicine and handed it to the apprentice.

The apprentice stuck out his tongue and had to obediently go to boil the medicine.

The middle-aged man looked at Hua Niang and couldn't help but be in a trance.

"What are you looking at?" Hua Niang frowned.

"No, it's nothing......" The man laughed awkwardly.

"I'll go back to Qiu Juyuan later, and you will pick me up later." Hua Niang put down the towel and got up.

"Hey! Good. Be careful. The man said gently.

"Don't worry, those Menghu soldiers know me, they won't hurt me, they will go to Menggo to perform tonight, it is said that they are going to go on an expedition, a grand feast." The flower girl said as the man put a velvet cape on her.

"Okay......" the man replied with some sadness.

Hua Niang opened the door and walked away quickly. A cold wind came and burrowed into the man's heart.

He hurriedly closed the door, turned around, and went up to the second floor.

Not long after, from the roof of the building, a few pigeons flew out. In the light snow, after a few flutters, it disappeared.

Hua Niang walked down the street, glanced back, her eyes fluttered, wrapped her clothes tightly, and continued to walk.

It's night.

The county hall is brightly lit and brightly lit.

From time to time someone enters.

Mungo looked at the colorful courtyard and nodded.

"Khan, everything is ready, just wait for the Kabuki of Qiu Juyuan to arrive, and the banquet will begin." One of the leaders said.

"What?! Is Ben Khan going to wait for them? Mongo was furious.

The leader shuddered.

"Back to Khan, this Qiu Ju Yuan...... It...... It's different, their top brand is very fierce, like a wild horse, if it is hard, she will kill herself, and her subordinates can't ......do it," the leader scratched his head, and said helplessly, he had already understood.

"Oh? And this kind of thing......" When Mongo heard this, he suddenly felt amused, but he was a little looking forward to it, and wanted to see what this wild horse looked like.

Just then, a group of kabuki came in through the side door.

"Coming, coming......" the leader said, pointing to the kabuki.

"Let's get started." Mungo saw that his men were all seated neatly, and went downstairs to take their seats.

……

Banquet.

Xiaoxue is difficult but everyone's hearts are hot, the huge bonfire is burning, everyone Menghu receives the award to eat and drink, on the stage, the dancing girl is dancing, and a woman is sitting in the middle of the stage, caressing the piano.

Mungo looked at the woman and narrowed his eyes.

"Khan, this is the top card of Qiu Juyuan, Hua Niang." The leader said.

"Flower girl...... Interesting. Mongo laughed.

"Khan, my subordinates have never seen a Han woman who is not afraid of my scimitar, this is the first one." The leader was ashamed.

"Hahaha, the great leader of my dignified Western Wuhe clan can't conquer a weak woman." Mongo laughed.

The leader of Xiwuhe smiled ashamedly, the grassland women are used to playing, where have I seen a woman with a knife on her neck, and she is full of people who don't understand something, I don't understand...... It's better to drink.

The sound of the piano is mournful, and the wine naturally becomes more and more bitter the more you drink it.

Meng Ge slowly put down his wine glass, got up, went on stage, and walked in front of the flower girl.

"Why is it so sad?" Mongo asked coldly, expressionless.

Seeing this, the generals below fell silent, only the bonfire crackled non-stop, and the dancers on the stage had already retreated in fright.

When Hua Niang heard the sound, she didn't look up, and gently pressed the strings.

"There is no happy event." Hua Niang is neither humble nor arrogant, and said rightly.

"What's the name of this song?" Mungo asked.

"Autumn Moon in the Han Palace." Hua Niang said quietly, looking at the bonfire in the courtyard.

"Can you change the song, Ben Khan is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, I want to listen to something light." Mongo suddenly said softly, in a deep voice, not as cold as before, with eagle-like eyes, looking at Hua Niang.

"The folk girl will only have this song, and there is nothing else." The flower girl raised her eyes and looked at Mungo.

Mungo was a little flustered by this sudden look, and he was a little fascinated for a while, he actually had such beautiful eyes, like the spring of the prairie, and the wind rose in his heart.

"Seriously...... Nothing else? Mungo asked.

"Seriously."

"That's fine." Mungo straightened up, looked at the sky and sighed.

Snowflakes turned her hair white, and the light of the fire shone on her clothes.

The strings are wet.

There was silence.

"I order you to play something else, otherwise I will kill all the Han people in this city." Mongo suddenly looked at him with a vicious gaze and shouted.

Hua Niang was trembling, startled, and panicked.

"Come on, kill them." Mungo raised his chin at the dancing girls who were hugging each other, and said coldly.

Several Menghu soldiers drew their scimitars and rushed towards the dancing girls, who instantly screamed in fright and cried out to the ground.

There was a bang.

Hana Niang stood up.

"Leave them alone." Hua Niang looked at Mungo and said.

As soon as Mungo raised his hand, the soldiers stopped. He looked at Hua Niang, his eyes were like a sharp sword, and he instantly pierced the last line of defense in Hua Niang's heart.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

"Hahahaha......" Mongo burst out laughing and turned off the stage.

Hua Niang sat down slowly, her trembling hands did not obey the call, she pressed the strings tightly, and could not calm down for a long time.

Mungo walked up to the chief of the Western Vuhes, took the wine, and drank it down.

"Kill the untamable wild horse."

The leader of the West Vuhe forced a smile and accompanied Meng Ge with a glass of wine, and his heart was actually trembling.

The piano sounded.

The joy was restored.

The flames danced, and she turned pale.

The night banquet continued, but the Menghu generals who had not yet drunk before began to shirk it.

The snow is still falling.

Outside the gate of the county hall, a man, shivering from the cold, squatted in front of the doorpost, his brows were icy.

……

"Warriors of the steppe! Tomorrow, I will follow Ben Khan, go all the way south, and set foot in the Central Plains! Come on, do it! Mungo stood on the table, raised his bowl aloft and shouted.

"Follow the Prairie Eagle to the death!" The generals raised their glasses.

"There is also the sad news that I, the leader of the skeletons of the Karados tribe, have followed the eagle to the kingdom of heaven. He is the warrior of the steppe, and he has not dishonored the reputation of the eagle! To our warriors, his revenge is up to you! ”

The Menghu people were stunned, what? The leader of the elite Karados clan turned out to be ...... Killed in battle...... How is this possible? Suddenly, this news made everyone's hearts begin to panic.

Mongo naturally knew that his subordinates would react in this way.

"Ben Khan hopes that you will not underestimate our opponents and do not insult the will of the eagle! Dry! Mongo drank it all.

"Avenge the Boss of the Skull!"

I don't know which leader shouted, and everyone echoed.

For a while, the crowd was angry.

Mongo smiled.

"Everyone, eat and drink well." Mongo.

As he finished speaking, suddenly, the strings on the stage broke.

The flower lady was frightened.

Mongo frowned.

The two looked at each other in unison.

"That's it for today." Hua Niang got up and saluted.

Mungo jumped off the table, took an arrow step, went on stage, and instantly arrived in front of the flower girl, clinging to her.

Hua Niang was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, she closed her eyes, and the two of them were so close that she could already feel Mongo's breathing.

Mungo is like an eagle that has caught its prey, sniffing for something.

Suddenly, the flower girl trembled, and the tip of Mongo's tongue was licking past her neck......

"Look, the strings are broken." Mungo suddenly pointed to the broken string and said, with a wicked smile on his face.

"What do you want?" Hua Niang pretended to be calm, and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw.

"What do you think?"

"Don't you think! If you have the ability, you will kill me. ”

"Oh? Wouldn't that be a pity, huh...... It's so fragrant. Mungo said, taking a deep breath and reveling.

Hua Niang was almost unable to hold back, her legs were weak unconsciously, and her beautiful eyes were gradually full of panic and helplessness.

After a long time, Mungo opened his eyes from intoxication.

"Let's go." He said.

Hua Niang was surprised, let me go? That's right...... She looked at Mongo, and was sure she had heard correctly, and she moved a little step, and then took another step, and then ran out the door in a hurry.

Mongo watched her back disappear outside the door of the black hole...... Looking back, the carved guqin with broken strings picked it up and got off the stage.

"What the hell are you?" Mungo muttered to himself.

"Khan......" said the leader of the Western Vukh in a low voice.

"Let's all go back and prepare for tomorrow's expedition." After saying that, Mungo took the piano and went to his bedroom.

The leader of the Western Vukh was puzzled.

Night Banquet, Finish.

Bonfire, extinguished.

Hua Niang desperately stepped out of the threshold, as if she had walked out of the ghost gate, and in an instant her legs were weak, and she was about to collapse...... Suddenly, a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll take you back now." The man said.

The flower girl hugged the man tightly, and her tears burst into tears.

Snowy nights, the same people.

It's like a pigeon that has been flying for a long time, and it can finally settle down.
