Chapter 124: The King's Young Son
The wind, mad and furious, roared like a thousand wild beasts, tore apart the snow and ice, and flew away, disappearing into the dark and bottomless night in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In such bitter cold moments, even the strongest horses of the grassland shrank in stables made of cloth tents, close to each other, and kept each other warm.
"Brother, it's so late, Nahammour shouldn't come."
Wrapped tightly in the thick cashmere jacket on his body, the third prince of the Huns, Jin Hu'er, stomped his feet, although he said that he called his brother, but he did not glance at the second prince almond beside him, but looked straight at a tall and thin man not far away, this person was wearing a white fox jacket, and the pile on his chest was extended to his waist, where there was a jewelry silver belt, and in the center of the silver belt was a palm-sized gold ** head.
The Huns respect the wolf, and there are very few who can use the wolf's head as a decoration, even if they are the leaders of the eight major tribes, without the permission of Khan Nuhar, they are not allowed to do it.
Of course, as the most favored prince in front of Nuhar, Zat, can naturally enjoy this supreme honor.
The oncoming cold wind cut through his face like a knife, Jinhu'er's words were silent for a long time, Zat's narrow eyebrows were raised, looking at the night where there was no figure in sight, "Hanmur and my golden clan have always been friendly, but my father and Khan are the first to look forward, and now I haven't come yet, I think something happened halfway." ”
With that, Zath turned to the guards waiting on the side and said, "Prepare your horse and follow me to Pingpan!" ”
"Brother Wang, no!"
The slightly chubby almond stepped forward quickly and blocked Zat's way, "Brother Wang, the royal court is a hundred miles away from Pingpan, and now the night is dark and the wind is high, and my brother is afraid of an accident, Brother Wang should wait a little longer, maybe Hanmur is just delayed by something and is on the way here." ”
Before Zat could speak, Najin Hu'er walked over, "Father Khan is about to send troops, rather than waiting here, it is better to go and see what is going on, you can rest assured, I will accompany my brother, and I will be safe." ”
Ignoring the fact that there was no one in Jinhu'er's eyes, Almond looked at Zat, who was about to lead the horse, and said in a hurry, "Brother Wang, what if Nahammour has a different heart!" ”
Zat's whip in his hand, which had jumped on horseback, stopped in mid-air, "I'd like to see if he has the guts!" ”
Without looking back, Zat flicked his whip, and the white horse under his crotch immediately galloped out, and behind him were dozens of guards, their armor was as cold as ice, and their eyes were as cold as the stars and moon in the sky.
"Let's go back to the camp and rest quickly, haha!"
Jinhuer pulled the horse, shook the almond a few times, laughed and whipped the leather whip, and the big black horse immediately rushed out like lightning.
Soon, a group of people could not see the trace, almonds' eyes were round, listening to the sound of horses' hooves that were swept away by the wind, and there were bursts of red on the white and fat face, I don't know if it was caused by the cold wind or other reasons.
Beside him stood a short young man, with a hungry face, and the fear on his face did not dissipate until the two Zatt were gone.
Turning his head, the young man looked at the almonds, his chapped mouth opened, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to shrink his shivering body into his jacket.
After a while, Almond seemed to come back to his senses, and glanced at the young man, his eyes full of disgust, "What are you still doing here, go back to your tent!" ”
Hearing this, the young man smiled flatteringly, but the latter was not seen, and led his men to the wide tent.
Rubbing his frozen hands, the young man found that he was the only one left around, looked up at the dark sky, and saw that the stars were becoming more and more obscure, and couldn't help muttering, "It looks like it's going to snow again......"
As he spoke, the boy avoided the large bright and spacious tents, and curled up and ran towards the southwest corner, where there was a tent that had been sewn many times.
The tent was low and shrunk in the corner, there were no hordes of slaves and miscellaneous servants, no imposing guards and soldiers, hidden among the countless shining lights, very inconspicuous, but the only place for the boy to rest.
After walking for a while, the young man who was hiding his head in the cold wind raised his head, and when he saw the lights on in his tent, he immediately wrinkled his face in some confusion, and then the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing a rare smile, and his legs ran quickly to the camp.
"Sister!"
Lifting the curtain, the young man pounced in, and under the lamp, a wonderful figure turned around, his face was covered with a white veil, willow leaves and thin eyebrows, and his eyes were as smart as pearls with a smile.
"Sidon, come in quickly, have you ever frozen?"
With a sweet voice, he got up from his chair as he spoke, picked up the thick jacket on the table and stepped forward, putting it on for the boy.
Zanxin's soft jacket was worn on his body, Seaton only felt very warm, and his heart also welled up with infinite joy, grabbing a circle of mink fleece turned out on the side of the woman's jacket, shaking his hand and saying with a smile, "Sister, when did you come back, but I thought about my brother badly." ”
The woman took off the shabby and gray felt hat on Sidon's head, put it on the table, and took the hot tea that the girl in the yellow jacket poured from the stove, "I just came back, and I saw my father Khan, and I came to look for you." ”
Hearing this, Sidon smiled, the tip of his thin nose became more and more erect, and his appearance was extremely pleasing, "Sidon knew that Sister A was the best for me, when I heard that Sister Ah went to the Central Plains, but Sidon was frightened, and I was thinking every day that Sister Ah could come back earlier, and now I finally saw Sister A." ”
As he spoke, Seaton gulped down the tea in his hand, but later exclaimed and spit out the hot tea.
"But it's hot!"
The woman hurriedly lowered her body and asked with concern, while Seaton was smiling with her tongue open, her red little face was full of smiles, and she shook her head again and again, "Sister, it doesn't matter if Sidon ......"
He stuck out his tongue again, causing a few clouds of white mist to rise, and he made the woman giggle, and took out the handkerchief in his bosom, and wiped the water stains from Seadon's mouth.
"Hey......
Sidon took the scented handkerchief, and instead of sending it to the corner of his mouth, he clutched it tightly in his palm, as if to hold this tender and watery love firmly.
Glancing at the young man in the yellow jacket who was covering his mouth and smiling, Seaton asked casually, "By the way, Sister, why don't you see the three sisters Mei, Lan, and Zhu?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Seaton could feel the body of the sister in front of him tremble violently, and the girl in the yellow jacket, who was snickering, took a few steps back and crashed into the wooden chair with tattered soft cushions.
Although he was young and careless, Seaton also noticed something unusual, and hurriedly grabbed the woman's sleeve, "Sister, what's wrong with them!" ”
The woman didn't make a sound, and Seadon's heart became more and more panicked, just because the good-looking willow eyebrows were wrinkling together in pain at some point, and beside her, the girl in the yellow jacket hid her face and sobbed lowly.
"They ......"
There was a mixture of discomfort that Sidon had never felt before, depression and sadness, which mixed together and made him a little breathless.
He is the son of the king of the steppe, but he is also a despicable illegitimate child, and his mother is just a Han woman snatched by the Great Khan on a whim, so in this beautiful royal court, there is no doubt that Sidon and his subordinates are the only ones who love him abnormally.
Therefore, the four maids who were sisters with Helian were also one of the few people in Sidon who could talk, and at this moment, when they heard that three of them had died, how could they not be sad, and for a while, tears fell like broken threads, dripping down and wetting a piece of their chest.
"Don't be sad, Mei'er and they went, isn't it a relief, following me, an ominous person, there will be no good ending......"
The words were bleak and the veil was soaked.
"Princess, don't talk nonsense!"
Ju'er in the yellow jacket immediately knelt on the ground, tears rippling, "Princess, my four-person tribe was wiped out, and I have already lost my relatives, if it wasn't for the princess who rescued her, she would have become a slave who was bullied." Since then, there are no longer the four daughters of the Huhe family in the world, some are just Meilan Zhuju, who can go to the soup for the princess......"
Ju'er's choked words made Helian cry even more, her shoulders trembled, she shook her head for a long time, and whispered, "It's all my fault......"
With a shake of his head, the veil fell down, and the red mark on the cheeks, which should have been delicate and moving, looked penetrating under the light.
When Helian wanted to bend down and pick up the veil in a panic, Na Sidon snatched it up, "Sister, it's not your fault, in Sidon's eyes, Sister is the most beautiful!" ”
Looking at the sluggish Helian, Sidon realized that these words were shouted with all the strength of his body, since he could remember, he had never spoken like this, his heart was beating wildly, and for a while, Sidon was a little inexplicably afraid.
Outside the tent, the wind was still howling, stirring the curtains, and a few wisps of cool breeze rushed in, causing the charcoal fire between the stoves to flash from time to time.
"Sister."
Seaton opened his mouth, and saw that Helian was still weeping, and an inappropriate sadness appeared on his immature face, and he stepped forward and hugged her arm, "Sister Ah is kind-hearted, even if it is a snow lotus, it is not as beautiful as Ah Sister, Ah Sister should not be sad anymore, otherwise it will become a nightmare, but it will hurt Ah Sister." ”
Hearing this, Helian embraced Sidon in her arms, but her tearful eyes looked to the southwest, where there were once people who did not shy away from her because of her face.
In the hazy tears, in the small courtyard in front of the court, there was laughter, as if it was close at hand, but this time has passed like a cloud.
That him, but there is still a time to meet?
"Hiss......"
When Helian was thinking a lot, there were countless sounds of horses chirping in the night wind, and even if she was in the remote corner of the royal court, she felt unusually noisy.
The white hand slammed into Sidon's shoulder, and a look of horror appeared in Helian's red and swollen eyes, what she feared had finally happened, Hummur came with his troops, and the army of the eight tribes gathered in the royal court.
In this way, it is better not to see him.
The crow feathers soaked in tears were twisted together, and the eyebrows were full of sadness, as if a layer of severe winter frost and snow was attached.
