Zhang Huan suddenly fell silent, he looked at the glass of wine for a long time and did not move, at this time, everyone's eyes were on him, the drum beat disappeared, the dance stopped, the silence in the banquet was terrible, only crackling was heard! The sound of firewood burning on the ground, Cui Ning saw that the princess of the silver bottle knew that she was next to her, and she was going to show her love to her husband, she was slightly angry in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't turn her face at this time, so she gently pushed Zhang Huan, signaling that even if he didn't want to, find an excuse to push it away, but don't be cold.

But Zhang Huan was still motionless, he glanced at Li Jinge, a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, Li Jinge, who was also so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, saw a sneer from Zhang Huan, he suddenly understood what Zhang Huan meant, his big dish has not been served yet! But they ask people to settle the bill.

This is a question of which comes first, because the alliance came first, Zhang Huan was willing to marry his daughter in return, not for the sake of forming an alliance, so he had to agree to marry his daughter first

Li Jinge sighed slightly, didn't he himself let Zhang Huan really become the leader of all the Qiang people? In fact, there are millions of Qiang people in Hehuang and Hexi and even Anxi, and the Qiang people that their group can control are only a million, only a part, and many Qiang people live in sporadic places, only regard him as the nominal leader, for example, the 40,000 Qiang people in Zhang Huan's army are not under their control. Li Jinge guessed correctly, Zhang Huan delayed accepting this glass of wine, he just wanted to force Li Jinge to show the sincerity of the alliance first, which is related to whether he can really control Hehuang. It is necessary to get the support of Li Jinge. can't let the other party be pampered and arrogant, and sit big step by step.

Zhang Huan just wanted Li Jinge to know that even without his support, he would still be able to control Hehuang and Hexi in the future, to put it bluntly, this was actually the first negotiation between the two of them, whether to form an alliance or take refuge.

It was also a gamble between the two. Let's see who softens first.

Li Jinge saw that his daughter was so embarrassed that tears were about to pour out, if Zhang Huan didn't answer again, his daughter ran away in shame, and it was a trivial matter for him to lose face in front of other leaders, so he was afraid that this alliance would fail. Some people use crooked brains. Take yourself and replace it.

Li Jinge was forced to be helpless. I had to sigh a long time, stood up and announced loudly: "The purpose of inviting the general this time is to show our Qiang people's full support for the general, and we are willing to obey Zhang Dudu's arrangement and become the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Li Dudu is polite, in the future, we will work together for the return of Hexi and even the entire Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Huan smiled slightly. Finally, he took the princess's glass and drank it all. Looking at her, he said, "I accept the princess's wishes!" ”

Suddenly there was a cheer in the audience. The princess turned from extreme disappointment to extreme joy, and she was shy, lowered her head and hurried away.

The stirring drums sounded again, the dancing girls danced, and several strong men brought large pieces of roasted mutton to Zhang Huan's eyes, sprinkled with spices and salt, and the bonfire was once again filled with singing and laughter, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

More than a dozen Qiang tribal leaders stepped forward to toast Zhang Huan one by one, the banquet became more and more lively, and many people came down to dance with the Qiang girl holding hands in front of the bonfire, at this time, Zhang Huan suddenly thought of something, he turned around, but found Cui Ning sitting there motionless, his face was unusually pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Huan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "But are you sick?" ”

"Nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable." Cui Ning saw a few girls coming to pull Zhang Huan, she smiled reluctantly, "You go and dance with them!" I'm fine. ”

Zhang Huan's mind turned, and he immediately understood Cui Ning's thoughts, he only cared about his own Hexi and Hehuang, and promised what political marriage, but he didn't take into account her feelings on the side, and he hurt her heart.

Zhang Huan felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, he should have found an excuse to delay it, but the incident had already happened, and it was useless to regret it, he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry!" ”

"Huanlang, I know you have no choice, I won't blame you." Cui Ning said, but his eyes suddenly turned red.

Zhang Huan was remorseful and painful, he couldn't care about etiquette anymore, so he bowed slightly, and said apologetically to Li Jinge: "Li Dudu, my wife is a little unwell, I have to leave and return to the camp first, and we will talk about the details tomorrow." ”

Li Jinge couldn't understand Cui Ningdi's thoughts, in his opinion, Zhang Huan marrying his daughter was just an extra pair of chopsticks on the dinner table, which would not threaten Cui Ningdi's status, but his wife understood a little, she hurriedly pulled her husband, and smiled at Zhang Huan: "Madam is not feeling well, I'm afraid she was caught in the rain, but you can't be careless, go back and rest early!" There is no need to rush the meeting. ”

"Then let's take our leave first, thank you Li Dudu for your hospitality."

After speaking, Zhang Huan immediately helped Cui Ning up, Cui Ning also wanted to say a few kind words, but she was so uncomfortable in her heart that she couldn't say a word, she nodded to Li Jinge and his wife with a happy face, and went with Zhang Huan.

Zhang Huan sent Cui Ning into the carriage, and he also sat in, he closed the car door, hugged Cui Ning tightly, and apologized to her repeatedly, "It's me who is not good, I'm sorry!" ”

"Forget it! I'm not going to be angry. Cui Ning shook his head and gently pushed Zhang Huan away, at this time, the car started slowly, Cui Ning opened the curtain of the car, staring blankly at the dark night, but a teardrop slipped down his face unconsciously.

Zhang Huan was silent, he knew that he had hurt her deeply, the apology at this time seemed so pale and weak, and he was silent for a long time, he finally sighed and said slowly: "I know you won't forgive me, but I still want to say to you, I may have many women, but no one can replace your place in my heart, do you remember?" That year I took you away and sent you home, and when I said goodbye to you, I saw you in tears, and I silently swore that I would marry you in this life

"Don't say it, I know your heart, I know you have me in your heart." Cui Ning turned her head slowly, she looked at Zhang Huan unusually calmly and said, "But." You've got too much power and ** in your heart. I can't breathe in the space left for me, where is the former Huan Lang who jumped off the bridge with me in his arms? Do you know? Even Pingping told me that Zhang Shiba, the land she liked, was dead, and she decided not to marry for the rest of her life and leave her heart to the dead Zhang Shi forever

"What about you?" Zhang Huan asked in a low voice.

"I don't have the courage to be mediocre, you are still my Huanlang." Cui Ning's voice suddenly trembled, tears finally surged out at this moment, and she tried her best to hug Zhang Huan. It seems that as soon as she lets go, Zhang Huan will disappear from the world forever.

"Huanlang, hold me tight, I'm cold!"

Zhang Huan suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he hugged Cui Ning tightly. "Don't do anything stupid. I promise you. I won't marry that Qiang princess. ”

"Huanlang, hold me tight!" Cui Ning seemed to have lost herself, her snow-white arms tightly wrapped around Zhang Huan's neck, murmured, and kissed Zhang Huan's lips, sending the tip of her lilac-like tongue into Ailang's mouth

This night, she gave all her love. Like a volcanic eruption. Crazy sex with Zhang Huan again and again, she dedicated her whole body and mind and ** to the man she loved. whispered to him about his lovesickness, told him about his love, recalled to him the bits and pieces of the past, until the sky was bright, Zhang Huan fell asleep exhausted.

Zhang Huan had a strange dream, he dreamed that he was sitting in the belly of a huge bird, not only him, but also many men and women, wearing strange clothes, eating strange things, he seemed to be flying in the sky, below was an endless, blue sea, suddenly, the picture turned, he seemed to be in a closed room again, there were countless crystal cabinets around him, and there were all kinds of jewels in the cabinets, dazzling, but all his jewels were disdainful, Like a monkey, he climbed up to the highest crystal tower and took out a walnut earth diamond, he laughed proudly, and suddenly all the crystal cabinets around him disappeared, turning into a golden room, he was wearing a strange nightgown, reclining on the soft big bed, holding a crystal cup in his hand, which was full of blood-red wine, at this time, a young woman who was suffocating in beauty slowly walked in front of him, and took off the clothes on her body one by one, until there was no wisp left, she suddenly became Cui Ning, He lifted a black hole iron pipe and aimed it at his head.

"Huanlang, goodbye!" A red light erupted from the iron pipe

Zhang Huanhuo sat up, sweating profusely, ah! It's a dream. The light shone in through the gap under the tent, the sky was already bright, he seemed to think of something, suddenly turned around, only to see that the side was empty, Cui Ning had disappeared, only a letter was placed on the pillow, and there was a line of green silk next to the letter, Zhang Huan's heart kept sinking, it seemed to sink into the endless abyss, and he hurriedly opened the letter.

"Huan Lang! Forgive me for saying goodbye, I went back to Chang'an, borrowed your gold medal, and lied to you to escort me away with a team of pro-soldiers, but don't worry, I'm not leaving you, I won't become a monk, and I won't remarry others, I feel very tired, I don't know why I have this strange feeling, you don't seem to be my Huanlang anymore, for a long time, I want to think about it alone, look for the Huanlang who jumped off the bridge with me in my arms, look for the feeling that makes me so fascinated, I will return to you when I find him, I just don't know if you'll want me by then, I'm stupid, right? ”

"Ning'er!" Zhang Huan jumped up violently, he screamed wildly, rushed out of the camp tent like crazy, he turned over on his horse, and beat the war horse desperately, the war horse screamed, kicked back and forth, Zhang Huan found that the reins were not untied, he waved his knife, cut off the reins, and rushed out of the camp gate like an arrow.

"Governor!" Dozens of personal soldiers found out that something was wrong, they got on their horses one after another, and chased Zhang Huan, Wang Siyu strode over, he was also shocked, Cui Ning two hours ago, under the pretext that Zhang Huan secretly sent her back to Beijing, and transferred a team of escort cavalry to him with a gold medal, he wanted to ask Zhang Huan, but he didn't dare to disturb his rest.

"Huan Lang, since I left my father, I have been following you for a year and a half, and I have almost remained silent for the past year and a half, the silence is because I blame myself, I can't help you like Pei Ying, I don't have the courage and courage of her, I admit that I am cowardly and timid, I want to get your love all day long, I am a little woman who lives only for love, but I am very inferior, I feel that I am far inferior to Pei Ying, and I want to learn from her generosity.

All right! I'll tell you the truth, I'm actually a very selfish woman, I don't want you to marry another woman, last night I heard you say to the princess in the silver bottle, when I accept your heart, my heart is going to break, I want to die at that moment, you can laugh at me, but Huanlang, you know what? I love you so deeply.

Huan Lang, Qingsi is left to you, if you want me to take a look at it, Lang, marrying you is the greatest happiness in my life.

Love your wife

Tears mixed with rain, flowing all over Zhang Huan's face, he didn't know how long he had been running, he didn't know the direction, running aimlessly, he ignored Cui Ning for a long time, just because she chose to go with him, he married her as he wished, and he didn't even want to set a table for her, thinking that he would live a dull life from now on.

But until this moment, he knew how much he loved her, man! Lost in money, status and power, but forgetting that the most precious thing around you is the true love of the world, usually light and slow, only at the moment of loss, do you know that the loss of things is so precious. Finally, the war horse couldn't support it and pounced! Kneeling down and pulling Zhang Huan off the horse, Zhang Huan struggled to get up, and fell to the ground again, he was covered in mud, but he only had one thought, to continue chasing, to chase her back, he wanted to tell her how much he loved her.

Gradually, Zhang Huan didn't have half the strength anymore, he knelt in the muddy water, staring blankly into the distance, as if he saw a carriage, Cui Ning pursed his lips in the window and beckoned to him with a smile, "Huanlang, wait for me, one day I will come back." ”

"Ning'er, I will wait for you to come back, I believe you will definitely come back!" Zhang Huan shouted hoarsely, his voice echoing between heaven and earth, and in the distance, there was a white rain and mist.
