Section I

It is a small, old tent with a pointed tip, which is well protected from wind and sand. The sheepskin in the sewing tent has been severely aged, and the edges are cracked and rolled, like dead old bark. There was still a wooden bow hanging on the top of the tent, probably not used for a long time, the string had been loosened, and the bow fell softly, and when the wind blew, the wooden bow shook for a while, as if it was about to fall.

The tents are old, but they are more than their lives for the shepherds who have lived on the edge of the desert for a long time. But when Esther took out a gold ingot from her bosom and threw it at the old shepherd, the original owner of the tent walked out of here without saying a word. What remained was not only this small tent, but also a dozen cattle and sheep outside.

Esther and Zhu Yuqing were still asleep, and the bonfire flickered and flickered, reflecting the two of them with a red face, like a seductive red jade. Wu Ming's eyes were withdrawn from the two of them, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. Life and death, success and failure, sometimes there is really only a thin line, but people can't see the goal, and they fall on the road to success. With the last two bags of blood and water provided by Ah Ling, they also had the courage to live, and found the tent the next morning, and then became the owners of the tent.

With a "bang", Esther rubbed her eyes and got up from the ground. Wu Ming didn't raise his head and said, "It's still early before dawn, continue to sleep, sleep more." ”

Esther was still a little confused, and when she sat down firmly, she fixed her look, but saw Wu Ming sitting by the fire, adding some firewood to the fire. The fire was blazing, reflecting his thoughtful face. She stroked her somewhat messy blonde hair, squeezed to Wu Ming's side, and said, "I can't sleep." Seeing that Wu Ming still didn't reply, she continued: "Brother Amin, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Wu Ming added another piece of firewood, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, we have been cultivating for a few days, and I am ready to leave tomorrow to go to Gehan." ”

This was a good thing, but Esther's heart struck: "Are you going to leave tomorrow?" ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Yes, we are just short of water, but in fact, our body is fine." However, considering Xiaoqing's weak health, he could not make the trip and has been delayed so far. Now that she's looking much better, it's time to go. ”

"Then, let's go." Esther glanced at the dangling wooden bow. The wind was still blowing outside, and the sand was hitting the tent with a subtle rustling sound. The wind leaked through the cracks, and the campfire swayed again. In the flash of firelight, Wu Ming's water chestnut face was reflected, which made people feel warm like a red charcoal fire. She smiled reluctantly and said, "The teacher's illness can't be delayed, it's time to go." ”

Wu Ming frowned and said, "However, your country doesn't seem to be as stable as you imagined?" Esther leaned on half of his body and looked up at him, "That's what you're really worried about." ”

Wu Ming grabbed her hand on his shoulder and patted it, "Yes, Wu Gong is so fanfare, he has become like a rebel. Even if he has the support of the Southern Barbarians, his roots are in Persia after all, and he is so rampant, he is not afraid that your father will uproot his roots in the country in a wrath? ”

Esther put her right hand into Wu Ming's left hand and said, "Actually, there is actually one more thing I didn't tell you......

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Father, father, father also has a heavy body, and now his health is not getting worse, and he rarely cares about the government anymore."

Wu Ming was stunned and looked at Esther without saying a word. After a long time, he exhaled: "No wonder ......" All doubts, all doubts, in front of this answer, are easily solved. Persia is eager to save their national teacher, although there are reasons why the dead wood will die soon, but the fundamental reason is that Persia lacks a backbone. In politics, the emperor Philip fell ill, and religiously, the Persian lord ran out of oil. Duke Wu and Duke Wen are both strong for a while, but because of this, as soon as the two Persian pillars fall, these two people will definitely not be able to compete with each other, and they will definitely fight for each other. This will only make the situation worse and worse. And Wu Gong dared to openly kidnap himself in the Liel Shahai, because he saw that there was no one in Persia who could restrain him, otherwise, An would dare to be so unscrupulous?

"So, the one who invited me to Gehan and his party must be your father, this trip is so dangerous, does he have any explanation?"

Esther shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen my father for a long time, and it is the emperor's brother Philip who invited you to come to Gehan." ”

"Philip?" Wu Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Duke Wen supports your eldest brother." It is said that Gong Wen's chest is jeweled, and his work is even more leaky, but now it seems that he is indeed a man who is famous and famous, and Gong Wen Huaiyat is not a stupid person. ”

"Whoever is stupid, you are stupid, megalomaniacal!" Esther couldn't help but pull her little hand out of his hand and hit him: "Is it really that good to let you come to Gehan?" How I didn't see it. ”

Wu Ming Zhengse said: "That's natural, think about it, if your father really has three longs and two shorts, and your eldest brother succeeds to the throne, then it is naturally logical, but there must be a premise, that is, a smooth transition of rights." If the national teacher has three longs and two shorts, there will definitely be many changes. So this idea seems ordinary, and it is indeed an indispensable move for your eldest brother. ”

"Yes." Esther tilted her head and thought about it, then shook her head and said, "It seems that the fourth brother is crooked this time." ”

"Your fourth brother?" This time it was Wu Ming's turn to be surprised.

"Yes, he came up with this idea, and then I will go to the Duke of Wen and get the tongguò."

Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh: "You royal brothers and sisters, you are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, your fourth brother can even think of this, and he can be regarded as a capable person." ”

He and Esther made a private agreement for life, and Esther did not hide the affairs of the Persian royal family, all of them were 1510, and all of them were told to Wu Ming. It's just that for this fourth brother, Esther has always been vague, every time he mentions it, he always looks at him left and right, and seems to be a little ashamed to say it, considering that it is a family matter after all, Wu Ming is not good at breaking the sand pot and asking to the end, and he can only hide this Nahan in his heart. Now I was a little surprised to hear that this attention came from his mouth.

It's good to know that he doesn't praise it, but as soon as he says it, Esther is even more angry: "What dragon and tiger, the purpose of his instigation of me to go to the Eastern Han Dynasty is to let you bring a few more oriental maidservants, and he will also accept a few more concubines." ”

"Is that so?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "In this way, my brother-in-law is really a wonderful person, hahahaha, interesting, interesting, no wonder you don't like to mention him." Esther looked at Wu Ming, who was smiling, puffed out her mouth and said, "You're leaving tomorrow, are you really that happy?" ”

Wu Ming said: "Yes, Xiaoqing's sick body will be cured immediately, and I will naturally be happy to have tasted my wish for many years." ”

Esther lowered her deep eyelids and said faintly: "But Brother Amin, haven't you ever thought about what if your father doesn't agree to our marriage?" What if the master doesn't agree to our marriage? ”

Looking at her frightened appearance, Wu Ming's heart ached, and he couldn't help grabbing her little hand again, and comforted: "Don't worry, this westward trip, the first is to Xiaoqing's physical recovery, and the second is to make the relationship between the two of us become justified, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, your father will beat and scold me, and I will not hesitate." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuqing, who was sleeping on the side. There was originally a velvet blanket in this room, probably used by the shepherd to keep out the cold, such a small quilt blanket, two people squeezed a little reluctantly, the three of them inevitably had some disregard, after Esther got up, wrapped the whole velvet blanket on Zhu Yuqing, who was sleeping soundly. Of course, it's uncomfortable to sleep here, but it's much better than the ups and downs along the way.

Along the way, the three of them have been in love with each other, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other, if there is really a negative Xiao Ai, even if it is Xiao Qing, I am afraid they will not agree.

After receiving Wu Ming's affirmative reply, and seeing that Wu Ming raised himself to the same height as Zhu Yuqing, Esther finally broke into a smile and said happily: "This is what you said, don't cheat, okay, rest early, let's leave tomorrow." ”

Not long after she lay down, she turned over and sat up again, pointing at Wu Ming, who was about to lie down behind her, and shouted: "Haven't you heard of men and women not kissing?" You get away from me, get out of the way and go to sleep, and with your back to us, don't peek. ”
