Chapter Twenty-Seven: Under the White Arboreal Crow in the Atrium

"Yiyue, I woke up and kept talking to A-Niang, and I didn't ask you how you were?" Wang Fei asked with a smile.

"I'm not hurt, so it's okay." Aitengna's voice replied in an inaudible voice.

"Is there anything upset about Izuki?" The light moonlight made Wang Fei's heart more delicate and soft, so he was keenly aware of the little unhappiness that had been suppressed in Aitengna's words.

"There's nothing unhappy about me, I just hate myself for being young and weak, and when I encounter an accident, not only does I not help Xiao Langjun, but I always cause trouble for you, and I need you to protect me." Aitenga said quietly.

After hearing this, Wang Fei felt even more pity in his heart, he held Ayitengna's left hand with both hands, and gently sighed hot on the little hand: "You shouldn't think so, it's natural for a man to protect a woman." I'm a boy and I'm older than you, so naturally I'm supposed to protect you, so I have to let you guard me with a sharp blade? ”

After hearing this, Aitenga lowered her head and was silent, her eyes were slightly red, and she said with a crying voice: "I just feel that I am very useless......"

Wang Fei grabbed Aitengana's hand, and said in his sunniest and heartiest voice: "How could you be useless? You are so smart, so lovely, as bright as the moon, as magnificent as pearls, I think it is a blessing and a blessing for me to be able to protect you! ”

After listening to Wang Fei's flamboyant tongue, Ayitengna couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled.

Seeing Ayi Tenggena smiling, Wang Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the invincible exercises he practiced when chasing Xiaoyu in his previous life seemed to be unpleasant, ancient and modern! Girls of all ages like to hear such words!

After smiling, Wang Fei looked at Ai Tenggena like a weak willow stroking the wind, thinking of the changes in her family and country, and her heart swelled with rolling thoughts.

The actions of the Turgish Khanate were naturally intolerable betrayal and retrograde in the eyes of the Tang monarchs, and troops must be sent to conscript; In the eyes of the Tuqi Shi people, it is a matter of course to fight for the right to survive of their own tribe, so it is also a necessary choice to strike a balance between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, and Dashi.

Wang Fei, who had studied political science and Clausewitz's "On War," knew that war was nothing more than the continuation of politics through another means.

The Battle of Broken Leaves, fundamentally speaking, was just a microcosm of the struggle for the Hanzhong region by the three major forces of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Dashi.

In the middle of the river, the iron cavalry of the Turks is just a chess piece for the three major chess players to compete for, and the Tang Dynasty uses it to resist the Great Eclipse, the Tubo to win it west into the river, and the Great Eclipse weakens it to encroach on the land of Zhaowu.

The ultimate goal of the successive Turks and Khans may be to be able to get rid of the fate of being a chess piece, turn over and become a chess player, at least to become a chess player in this small chess game in the river.

There is nothing wrong with having such an ideal, but an ideal that lacks strength is always easy to become a castle in the air.

The Tuqi Shi people tried to get rid of the shackles of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end they could only get a ruthless blow and destruction.

Of course, Wang Fei was not sympathetic to the Turgish people. He understood the logic of the behavior of the Turgish Khanate from the perspective of political science, and also admired the wisdom and courage shown by the Shifter Khan in the Battle of Broken Leaves.

However, from the perspective of the interests of the Tang Dynasty, if the Turgish Khanate was allowed to sit on the throne, the Tang army would completely lose its control and influence over the land in the river, and the trade profits brought by the Silk Road would also be shared by the Turgish Khanate.

And more importantly, for the Son of Heaven, who was deeply fond of expanding the border and was extremely face-heavy, the behavior of the Turgish Khanate was a ruthless provocation to the authority of the Heavenly Khan, and if it was not dealt with thoroughly, the surrounding vassal forces would despise the authority of the Tang Dynasty and quickly fall apart.

However, no matter how one analyzes the legitimacy and necessity of war, the human tragedy brought about by war always makes people feel helpless and sigh.

Aitengana was supposed to be a happy Turgish lord, and Anicee was supposed to enjoy the privileges of the Great Eater Princess. And the ruthless war destroyed all of this and changed the fate of all.

Thinking of this, Wang Fei once again thought of the fierce battle that he would face in a few years, dragging the whole world into a sea of blood, and his heart couldn't help but tense again.

I must speed up the pace and work hard to change this nightmare of Chinese civilization. And the most urgent thing at the moment is to protect everyone around you who is worthy of your cherishment, such as Xiaoyun and Yiyue......

Wang Fei walked in the moonlight, thinking about the future, and was silent for a long time. Aitengana observed Wang Fei's demeanor, hesitated for a long time, and then quietly asked, "Is Xiao Langjun worried about Xiaoyun Little Lady?" ”

Wang Fei was stunned for a moment, just now he really thought of Ashina Xiaoyun in his heart, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is it so obvious?" ”

Wang Fei's response made the lantern in Aitengna's hand shake slightly, and she didn't know why she was nervous.

After quickly calming down, Aitengana replied with a smile: "I am very interested in the small techniques used by Xiao Langjun to identify the Sogdian merchants before the capture of the Pegasus, and I have been studying them by heart ever since, always paying attention to the way everyone speaks and thinks. I naturally observed a lot of Xiao Langjun, and found that after you returned to Tingzhou, when you saw the little lady Xiaoyun, there was often a mixture of shame and joy on your face. Seeing that you had such a look just now, I asked tentatively. ”

After Wang Fei heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "Yiyue's intelligence is almost against the sky, so soon let me lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot." ”

Ayitengna listened quietly, as quiet as moonlight.

Wang Fei thought about it again and again, and then said: "The little lady of Xiaoyun looks like an old friend of mine, so it is inevitable that she will be happy when she sees it." ”

"The deceased?" Aitengna slowly savored Wang Fei's words, and at the same time looked up to observe Wang Fei's demeanor, as if to determine whether he was lying.

"Yiyue, don't look at me with this demeanor, I'm not lying!" Wang Fei feigned anger and covered his face with his hand.

"It seems that what Xiao Langjun said is true." Aitengna was also amused by Wang Fei's demeanor.

"Looks like I'm going to have to control my emotions a bit." After the trouble, Wang Fei said quietly.

"Why did Xiao Langjun say this?" Aitengna asked puzzled, and then replied herself, "I'm afraid of causing trouble to the little lady of Xiaoyun, right?" ”

Wang Fei didn't expect her to guess her mind so quickly, nodded slightly, and stopped talking.

Aitengna was also silent for a moment, and then said faintly: "But the little lady of Xiaoyun is bright and beautiful, and she is indeed likable. ”

Wang Fei nodded after hearing this, he didn't deny it, but he didn't say anything more, he felt that the atmosphere had become a little weird, and it seemed that it was a little awkward to share his feelings about Ashina Xiaoyun with Ayi Tenggena.

In their previous lives, Wang Fei and Xiaoyu can be said to be childhood sweethearts and classmates for many years, and they are each other's first love, so the pursuit is handy and natural.

And this also shows that the understanding and combat effectiveness of the little otaku on emotional issues are not high, and the reason why they can avoid being single is completely due to luck and luck.

Seeing that Wang Fei didn't respond more for a long time, Ayi Tenggena frowned and thought for a while, then asked with a chuckle: "Xiao Langjun, do you know who I am most familiar with when he speaks?" ”

Aitengana's slightly mischievous question swept away the strange atmosphere, Wang Fei scratched his head, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't it me?" ”

"It's not Xiao Langjun." Aitengna shook her head with a wicked smile on her face: "Guess again? ”

"Let me think twice...... Wang Fei learned from Sun Quan's expression in "Three Kingdoms Killing", and used his right hand to draw a figure of eight and put it on his chin, pretending to be contemplative.

Aitengna looked at Wang Fei's funny demeanor and laughed happily. The girl's laughter was as pleasant as the tinkling spring water, adding a touch of spring to the silent winter garden for a moment.

"I see!" Aitengna's laughter made Wang Fei feel particularly comfortable and enjoyable: "It must be Mrs. Pei's demeanor!" ”

"Why does Xiao Langjun think like this?" Ayitengna didn't say whether it was right or not, but tilted her head and asked Wang Fei.

"The grandson of the soldier saint has a cloud: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. In other words, you must know your friends, but you must also know your enemies. Mrs. Pei has made things difficult for you three times and twice, with your cleverness, you will definitely study her expression carefully, so that you can make a judgment in time! Wang Fei's answer quoted scriptures, and it sounded like the truth.

"Xiao Langjun is also very smart!" Ayi Tenggena deliberately imitated Wang Fei's tone to praise her, then paused for a moment, and said with slight doubts: "Your analysis is very reasonable, I have heard my father Khan say the words in "The Art of War" many times before. On the contrary, what you said about the prairie, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't think of any hero on the prairie who said such a thing. ”

"Haha! It's finally hard to stump Izuki! Wang Fei laughed happily: "That sentence was originally made up by me, how could you have heard it!?" ”

"Xiao Langjun, you are too bad! I've been thinking about it for so long, and you're making it up for a long time! Aitengna swung her little pink fist and hammered Wang Fei twice on the back, and at this moment, she once again remembered Kudulu, who was always willing to endure his own teasing and hammering.

"Oops!" Wang Fei let out a miserable scream and squatted on the ground: "Yiyue, you smashed into the place where I was injured last night!" It hurts to death! ”

Ayi Tenggana was shocked when she heard this, hurriedly threw the lantern aside, squatted down to help Wang Fei massage her back, and couldn't help but ask what was uncomfortable.

Wang Fei comfortably enjoyed Xiao Loli's massage for a long time, and then jumped up with a strange laugh: "Yiyue, you are fooled again!" ”

Ayitengna hurriedly waved her little fist again, and Wang Fei ran away, and rushed towards the front of the ya. Aitengna chased after her in a rage, ignoring the lantern she had thrown on the ground.

The crow, perched on the willow tree in the courtyard, was alarmed by the joy of the boys and girls, fluttered its wings, flew half a circle over the courtyard under the full moon, and snorted twice, and when it saw that there was no danger, it landed on the branch again and continued to sleep.

And the joyful figures of the boys and girls have gone away, leaving only the gentle and affectionate moonlight in the courtyard.

Under the same moonlight, in another courtyard. Ashina Wenxia tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The events of last night were replayed in front of her eyes over and over again, and whether she opened or closed her eyes, she would see that brave figure and remember the scene when he threw himself down. Thinking of this, her heart pounded like a deer.

But remembering his madness anxiously looking for his sister made her heart feel like she had been stabbed with a knife.

Although Ashina Wenxia had been jealous of her sister countless times before, she was jealous of her status as a concubine, jealous of her noble bloodline, and jealous of her liveliness and brightness. But compared to this jealousy, everything before was as insignificant as playing at home.

She thought about it, but she still didn't know what to do. At this time, there were several crows in the distance, and I don't know whose jackdaw was in the courtyard, which made her even more unable to sleep.

Ashina Wenxia got up from turning over, pushed open the window, and looked at the cold and desolate moonlight in the courtyard, and her mood was even more depressed.

Suddenly, the wind blew and swayed, and the moonlight was stirred, emitting a sword-like cold glow. Ashina Wenxia remembered the mysterious woman covered in purple veil and the invitation she sent, and secretly made up her mind in her heart.

On the city of Tingzhou, the night sky is bright, and the gentle moonlight is swept by the north wind, as if it is the heartstrings of young boys and girls who are quietly plucked.

Many times, teenagers think that they already know what love is and what hate is, and with the heaviest promises and the hardest vows, they spur themselves to strive to conquer the hearts of others and the whole world.

And when people are young, they often don't know and don't care about whether these youthful loves and hates need to be repaid with a lifetime.
