291 Posterity
When Xiao Buyi said that he was set as an apprentice, Ashina's father and son were overjoyed.
Ao Sheshe knelt down again at the moment, obviously understanding the apprenticeship of the Central Plains.
Ashina was about to kneel down like his son, but was grabbed by Xiao Buyi, "Ashina, you don't need to make this big gift, you and I are friends." ”
Ashina said solemnly: "Ashina is grateful to Engong for being a friend, Engong first saved the lives of my father and son, and then he was able to accept Aojiao as an apprentice, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "You ruined the Khan's big business, stay in the grassland, aren't you afraid of his revenge?" ”
Ashina hesitated, "If I can really exchange my surname for the surname of the grassland people, what I do is worth it." Retaliation is likely to happen, but in the vicinity of Kotun, it must not be a big deal. It's just that O's young shooter, I'm just afraid that he will be hurt......"
Ashina wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Buyi had already understood, "That's why you let Ao Sheshe stay by my side?" ”
"Engong, that's exactly what I meant. It is safer for Ao to be set up by Eungong's side than to stay in the grassland. ”
Xiao Buyi thought secretly in his heart, but you are afraid that you don't know, by my side, the risk is actually greater. However, he suddenly had a whimsical idea, and even if he thought about it, he felt bold, and then he had the idea of taking the Ao Shot as a disciple.
Meng Chenxue's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Brother Xiao...... I've got something to do with you...... I don't know how to bother you? ”
Ashina stood up playfully and said with a smile: "Xue'er Tag came to find the horse god, there must be something important, I won't bother you." ”
Ao Sheshe, however, asked, "Master, when you leave, you must remember to take me with you." ”
Ashina patted his little brain melon gently, "What the horse god said, every word, you little child's temper." ”
The two walked out of the felt tent and greeted Meng Chenxue in a friendly way, and when Meng Chenxue entered the felt tent, her pretty face bloomed like a spring flower.
She missed less and lingered more, and after entering the tent, she gently sat next to Xiao Buyi, snuggled in his arms, and gently closed her eyes.
Xiao Buyi gently hugged Meng Chenxue, without saying a word, and felt more sad in his heart, he couldn't leave the Central Plains, and Meng Chenxue couldn't leave the grassland, which was destined to be separated after they got together.
He knew that this was somewhat cruel to Meng Chenxue, but he really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Maybe when the world is settled and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they will be together forever? When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he was a little melancholy.
"Those who are unsatisfactory in everything are ** out of ten." Meng Chenxue suddenly whispered.
Xiao Buyi's heart shook slightly, but he just hugged Meng Chenxue tightly, seeing her long eyelashes hanging down, her face was like jade, but her face was very calm, and she couldn't help but lean over and kiss her gently.
Meng Chenxue raised her head, her eyes showing happiness and satisfaction, "Brother Xiao, but I feel that with you by my side, God has treated me well." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled, "I also think that God treats me well, but I ......"
He wanted to speak and stopped, but Meng Chenxue finally sat up straight and said softly, "Brother Xiao, you're going back, right?" ”
"Actually, it's not in a hurry." Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly.
"Be content." Meng Chenxue pursed the corners of her mouth, drawing a good-looking arc, like a bright moon in the sky, "Brother Xiao...... You've been with me for so long, I've been content, I know you have me in your heart, and I already feel that the wait is worth it. But I know that this is not your sky, go back quickly, more people need you. ”
Xiao Buyi said after a while: "Xue'er, thank you." ”
Meng Chenxue smiled and said, "Do we still need to say thank you?" ”
Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand and hugged Meng Chenxue tightly, speechless for a long time. Meng Chen Xue snuggled up to Xiao Buyi's shoulder, but there was a hazy mist in her eyes, she was actually reluctant! Cuteness is sometimes not about possession, but about letting go. Giving Xiao Buyi a broad sky is her greatest wish. Since she stepped into the grassland with Xiao Buyi for the first time, she has been thinking like this, and so far, it has not changed in the slightest.
I don't know how long it took, Meng Chenxue gently pushed Xiao Buyi away, her face was crimson, like a morning glow.
"By the way, Buyi, I have something to tell you."
"You say."
"Ashina is actually very ambitious, I heard outside the tent that you want to take Ao Shot as an apprentice, I'm just afraid that he wants to use your power. You are too honest, be careful that others take advantage of you. ”
Xiao Buyi laughed, "You say I'm honest? I'm afraid that the Khan will disagree! ”
Meng Chenxue smiled like a flower, "It's always right to be careful." ”
Xiao Buyi groaned: "Xue'er, in fact, I have also thought of what you said. At present, the grassland forces are divided into several parts, the Turks controlled by the Khan are a part, the Tiele co-opted by Kedun is a part, the Qigu is a part, and the rest such as Khitan, Murwei, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other countries are also dependent, but they are all wall grass, depending on which one the forces decide to defect to. ”
Meng Chen Xue grabbed Xiao Buyi's arm and said softly: "You don't have to forget, the current horse god and the Meng Chen clan are also a force in the grassland. Although the power of the Mengchen clan is weak, but this time they saved the lives of the entire grassland people, and no one dared to offend lightly, plus the blessing of the horse god, maybe the power is not enough to compete, but the prestige is even better. ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "Of course I also thought of this, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the Central Plains with confidence." However, although the khan made an oath that he would not violate the army in person, secret actions are absolutely indispensable, and you should also be careful. When Ashina came to me, I actually knew what he meant, and he just wanted to use my prestige to reinvigorate forces and fight against the Khan, and I think these things were also tacitly approved. The Khan and Kedun are now on the same page, and they urgently need to support another force, and when the Khan, Kedun, and Ashina triumvil forces are formed, the Khan is trying to plot against the Central Plains, but he is afraid that he is also powerless. ”
Meng Chenxue sighed lightly, "It turns out that you have thought of it a long time ago, I am worried about the harm, but you have to be careful of raising tigers, my intuition is that this Ashina is not simple." If you talk about scheming, it is not necessarily worse than Shibi Khan. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "There are no immutable enemies in this world, only eternal interests. There may be a problem with raising tigers, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow, let alone what will happen in a few years, so they can only take one step at a time. But I have a use value, of course he will not turn his face, but will try his best to stammer, and this is probably what he means when he sends his son to me. ”
Meng Chenxue muttered, "No one knows about Ming Yue? But I know that no matter what happens, Buyi, I will be with you. I only hope that whether it is the grassland or the Central Plains, wouldn't it be good to be in harmony? But it's always you who beat me, I beat you, and I didn't stop. I wish I could go back to the past, but if I go back to the time of Qimin Khan, I probably won't be able to meet you again...... How can I give up? ”
She whispered, but Xiao Buyi felt the affection in it and couldn't help but be moved.
The two fell silent, but there was footsteps outside the tent, and Mo Feng said outside the tent: "Young lady, Wen Yuzhou has been waiting for a long time. ”
Meng Chenxue came back to her senses, stood up hurriedly, blushed and said, "Oh, I forgot, Wen Yuzhou wants to come over to see you." I'm here to inform you......"
Xiao Buyi groaned: "What did he come to me for?" ”
"The man we saved them, of course he has to come and thank them." Meng Chenxue said seriously.
Xiao Buyi glanced at Meng Chenxue, "Are you going to meet him with me?" Then ......"
Meng Chenxue nodded, "Buyi, I have this intention." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled, understood Meng Chenxue's intentions, and got up with her and walked out. It turned out that the grassland plague was rampant, and the source of the plague was near the servant bones, whether it was the vicinity of the servant bones, Bayegu or Chita, they were inevitably affected by the plague. By the time the Khan sent out his troops, it could be said that the epidemic was the most serious around the entire servant bones.
The Khan had come from afar with his troops, and had not yet been infected by the plague, but Shibdha and Gejisheh had been haunting the vicinity lately, and had contracted the disease one after another. Shibdar went to the vicinity of Chita and pretended to attack the Dark Angels, and then pretended to destroy the forces of Kedun. Unexpectedly, the plan was destroyed by Xiao Buyi, but Kedun was not damaged at all, and Shipoda was infected with the plague, but he brought the epidemic to the left side of Chita.
But even if there is no bowl, the black rats in the grassland may be contagious. The Dark Angel is near Chita, and several people have been infected one after another. Xiao Buyi, Khan, and Kedun joined forces to finally control the epidemic, but there are really a lot of infected people, and the ghosts are very powerful, even if the angels are dark, they can't be spared! The dark angel knew that the horse god could drive away ghosts, and knew that the surname was at stake, so he pulled down his face and looked for Xiao Buyi to treat his illness.
Xiao Buyi and Sun Simiao were together, and the time was short, although the medical skills were not much better, but the treatment of the plague was not a problem. For Wen Yuzhou's request, he did not shirk it, and went to the place where the dark angel was located at the moment, treated several people, and delivered medicine. And Xiao Buyi already knew that Wen Yuzhou and Meng Chenxue had a relationship, Wen Yuzhou had a little bit of that meaning to Meng Chenxue, and Meng Chenxue was going to meet Xiao Buyi now, so naturally he wanted to show his heart to Wen Yuzhou.
The two entered the camp side by side, and Wen Yuzhou was sitting in the tent, a little lonely.
Baltu was talking with him, Wen Yuzhou was holding a jasper flute in his hand, fiddling absentmindedly, and when he saw Meng Chenxue enter the tent, his eyes lit up. When he stood up, he saw Xiao Buyi and Meng Chenxue coming in hand in hand, and his expression at that moment was very strange.
Meng Chenxue put down her hand at this time, thinking that Wen Yu had already seen it clearly, and said with a smile: "Master Wen, I found the cloth clothes for you." ”
She called Wen Yuzhou her son, Xiao Buyi's name and surname, and her intimacy was obvious.
Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "I don't know what Gongzi Wen is looking for me?" ”
Wen Yuzhou's expression changed instantly, but a smile finally appeared, "Actually, my aunt wants to ...... Xiao The horse god thanked me in person, and then ordered me to come and invite me. The horse god is not disrespectful to his aunt, but ......"
Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "I understand, I'll go now, but you guys are too polite." ”
The person who was infected with the plague was Wen Yuzhou's aunt, Xiao Buyi already knew when he was cured that this person had disabled legs and could not walk, and he was very old, so of course he didn't want her to come.
Wen Yuzhou was very pleased, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you so much." ”
Meng Chenxue tidied up the collar for Xiao Buyi, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Gongzi Wen, if you take the cloth away, you will also be responsible for bringing it back." ”
She and Xiao Buyi behaved intimately, and the blind man could see it, but Wen Yuzhou turned a blind eye, without any expression on his face, but he heard Meng Chenxue's uneasiness, and just nodded: "That's natural." ”
The two got out of the tent, got on the horse and headed north, Meng Chenxue looked at the figures of the two from a distance, somewhat uneasy.
Mo Feng leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Young lady, what is the origin of this Wen Yuzhou, will the young master be in danger?" ”
Meng Chenxue shook her head, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be dangerous, the dark angel is not ungrateful." ”
Mo Feng shook his head and muttered, "I don't think so." ”
**
Xiao Buyi and Wen Yu galloped until they reached Chita, turning to the northeast, where there were mountains again. Although it is early spring, it is still gray and gray in the far north of this place, and there is snow hidden on the top of the mountain. The sun shines on, and the white is dazzling.
Wen Yuzhou rested his horse at this time, turned his head to look at Xiao Buyi, "The horse god has superb equestrian skills, and I admire the five-body throw." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled, "The last skill of carving insects, why worry about it." ”
Wen Yuzhou suddenly asked, "I don't know how the horse god got acquainted with Xue'er Tag?" ”
"When she returned to the grassland, she met bandits, and that's how she got acquainted."
Wen Yuzhou muttered: "Presumably it was Ma Shenlu who rescued her when she saw injustice, no wonder she is so devoted to you." ”
It's normal for him to think about it, he just thinks that the hero saves the beauty, but he never dreams that the bandit is Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi is not to save, but to kidnap Meng Chenxue, but Meng Chenxue's love is a matter of the future.
"I don't know how you met Cher?" Xiao Buyi asked.
Wen Yuzhou heard his affectionate title, and his heart felt a little sour, and he said after a while: "I have been on the grassland since I was a child, and Xue'er Tag was also ......in the grassland when she was young."
"So you're childhood sweethearts?" Xiao Buyi asked casually.
Wen Yuzhou shook his head, "Ma Shen, don't misunderstand, childhood sweethearts are not counted, and later she went to Xijing with her father, but we haven't seen each other for a long time." Ma Shen, in fact, you not only saved my aunt's life, but also saved our brothers in the mountains because you let the Khan withdraw his troops. I can only be grateful to you, a girl like Cher Tag, and only with you will I be happy, I have been ...... all these years In fact...... Alas...... I bless you all. ”
After he said this, he turned his head to look at the distant mountain and said, "We are coming." ”
Xiao Buyi was a little ridiculous, and said in his heart If Wen Yuzhou knew that this Shibaoda was led by him, I don't know how to feel?
The two of them have already entered the mountain, and the mountain road is tortuous and rugged, and it is all sheep intestine paths. Fortunately, the equestrian skills of the two were not bad, and they soon arrived in the mountains.
After crossing the canyon and wading through the stream, we came to a cliff.
Xiao Buyi was not surprised, because when Wen Yuzhou invited him to come for medical treatment, he went here.
He knew that although this place seemed to be a dead end, there was another secret passage, but the project inside was huge, and ordinary people could hardly imagine it. When Wen Yuzhou invited him over, he actually led him here directly, which surprised Xiao Buyi.
Wen Yuzhou dismounted and pulled out the knife, reversed the handle of the knife, brushed away the dead grass in front of the cliff, and knocked three times on a cliff with a circle, and four more times in an instant.
The handle of the knife slammed on the cliff, and there was a 'thud' sound, which was somewhat hollow.
After waiting for only a moment, the stone wall creaked and cracked a hole, which was a little terrifying.
"Horse God please." Although Wen Yuzhou said so, he still entered first, after all, the environment here is a little weird, and this is the way to be a guest.
Xiao Buyi let the horses graze outside and followed him inside.
The road is carved out of the mountain wall, the project is huge, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, at a glance, endless, extremely spacious.
The two sides of the road are not lit with oil lamps, but they are inlaid with night pearls the size of goose eggs, a few steps, although the road is in the belly of the mountain, the light is soft, there is no feeling of oppression.
It's just that these night pearls are taken out, and they are already a great fortune. This road alone requires a lot of manpower, and Xiao Buyi was actually shocked when he walked here.
He knew that there were most likely traps here, but with Wen Yuzhou leading the way, he would not activate it, and if it was an outsider, it would be difficult to enter so easily.
After walking for dozens of zhang, the front is cheerful, it is actually a large stone room, there are twelve night pearls on the top of the stone room, and the stone room is like day.
When he saw the twelve beads, Xiao Buyi suddenly thought of the crown on Yang Guang's head, which seemed to have twelve beads on it.
The stone room was empty, but at the end there was a bluestone chair covered with a tiger skin, simple but mighty.
Wen Yuzhou looked at the chair, his eyes showed a little strangeness, he shook his head in an instant, sighed softly, and asked Xiao Buyi to sit down, but he walked to a stone wall, knocked three times, the stone wall was scratched, and a girl came out and said softly: "Childe." ”
Yahuan's face is a little pale, she hasn't seen the sun for a long time, and she looks pretty too. Wen Yuzhou instructed: "Go and invite the old lady to come, and say that the distinguished guest she wants to see is here." ”
Yahuan glanced at Xiao Buyi in some surprise, nodded and withdrew, Wen Yuzhou sat opposite Xiao Buyi, looked at the empty stone room and said, "Horse God ......"
"Just call me by my name." Xiao Buyi said with a smile.
"Then I'll shout Brother Xiao." Wen Yu looked at Xiao Buyi with his eyes on Monday, "I always feel that I have seen Brother Xiao somewhere." ”
Xiao Buyi remained silent, "The last time I came to heal, we met once. ”
Wen Yuzhou shook his head, "The last time I was treated was not counted, I had an illusion in my heart, I always felt that I had seen Brother Xiao before the doctor." ”
Xiao Buyi's face didn't change, "Yes, then I don't remember." When he captured Wen Yuzhou, he was confident that he hadn't seen his face, and he didn't admit it, anyway, Wen Yuzhou had no evidence.
Wen Yuzhou kept staring at Xiao Buyi's eyes, and when he saw him calm, he finally sighed, "Brother Xiao, you are the most calm person I have ever met. ”
"That's because you've always been on the grassland, you must know that the Central Plains are outstanding people, and people like me are everywhere." Xiao Buyi secretly pondered the old lady's intention of coming to him.
Wen Yuzhou looked at him for a long time, "If the Central Plains were full of characters like Brother Xiao, then the Central Plains would not be so chaotic now." Seeing Xiao Buyi smiling and silent, Wen Yuzhou suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, is the Central Plains fun?" ”
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised, "Don't you want to say to me, you've never been there?" ”
Wen Yuzhou's face was a little bitter, "In my life, in addition to practicing martial arts, I am practicing martial arts, but unfortunately, I am a little disappointed in myself." I'm not as useful as others expect...... I've heard that the Central Plains is very prosperous, but I never have the opportunity to go there......"
When he said this, he stood up suddenly, and walked briskly to a secret door, where a wheelchair slid out silently, and an old woman sat on it, and behind him was a maid ring.
Wen Yuzhou waved his hand, asked Yahuan to step back, and personally pushed the old woman over, and said softly: "Auntie, the horse god of the Megatron Grassland, I have already invited you." ”
The old woman had white hair all over her head, her face was slashed, and her nose turned up, which may have been good looking, but now it seems to be indescribably ugly.
Xiao Buyi got up and saluted, and said softly: "Old man, I don't know what you have to tell me to come?" ”
The old woman kept staring at Xiao Buyi, her eyes were strange, and she suddenly said, "It's very similar...... Much like ......"
Xiao Buyi was inexplicable, "Old man, what did you say?" ”
The old woman shook her head slowly, "Horse God...... Your name is Xiao Buyi? Surname Xiao? ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, the old woman changed the topic, and said softly: "I was sick last time, thanks to you for saving me, I haven't said thank you yet." ”
"With a lot of effort, why worry about it, the old people don't have to take it to heart." Xiao Buyi had no choice but to say modestly.
The old woman grinned, unspeakably ugly, "For you, of course, you don't have to take it to heart. But my life is mine, and I still want to thank you. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled silently, and the old woman stretched out her hand to greet Wen Yuzhou and said, "Yu Zhou, when the distinguished guest arrives, why don't you bring the Persian wine to entertain the guests?" ”
Wen Yuzhou frowned and said, "Auntie, your leg is not good, it always hurts, and you can't drink." ”
"You can have a few drinks with your guests, and I'll let you drink today." The old woman said in a deep voice.
Wen Yuzhou could only turn around and go out, and the old woman asked softly, "Ma Shen...... Xiao Buyi...... Don't dare to ask for the name of the Akademchi? ”
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised, "Mother, mother's name is not easy to mention." Only then did he remember that he had never asked Xiao Dapeng's mother's surname what his surname was, and Xiao Dapeng had never mentioned it!
The old woman was a little disappointed, and said again, "That'...... When I didn't say it...... In fact, when I was sick, I felt that you were like an old friend, so I asked Yu Zhou to invite you to come. ”
"Who am I like?" Xiao Buyi asked curiously.
Wen Yuzhou had already come in with a wooden barrel, the style of the barrel was old and ancient, and there was a fire paint seal on the wooden stopper, with strange words written on it. Xiao Buyi secretly pondered, the wine of Persia was transported to the grassland thousands of miles away, and this kind of financial power should not be underestimated, is this Wen Yuzhou really a descendant of the royal family? I deduced from the word young master that he was very likely to be a descendant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, did he guess correctly?
The old woman shook her head and said, "I'm probably wrong, I'm confused." Yu Zhou, I came to him for Xiao Gongzi, I actually wanted him to listen to a story and comment on it. ”
Wen Yuzhou was not surprised, and also obeyed the old woman's instructions very much, opened the wooden cork, and the room was filled with the fragrance of wine. Although Xiao Buyi doesn't know wine, he also knows that this wine is very expensive. Wen Yuzhou took out three wine glasses and put them on the table, poured three glasses of wine full, the wine was as red as blood, but the strangest thing was that the color could be seen through the glass. Xiao Buyi found that the wine glass was also unusual, with a dragon carved on the wall, so that the wine was reflected and circulated uncertainly, as if it was alive.
"Wine is good wine, and the cup is also a good cup." Xiao Buyi praised.
The old woman smiled and raised a glass, "Then you have to drink it with a good person." I've been here for decades...... I just want to have a drink with someone today. ”
She picked up her wine glass and stared at Xiao Buyi, but Wen Yuzhou shouted, "Auntie......"
The old woman waved her hand, "Yu Zhou, I'm fine, you can have a drink too." ”
She drank all the wine in the cup, tears suddenly flowed out, and murmured: "It is said that in addition to protecting the peace of the grassland, the horse god can also eradicate evil and promote good. ”
