Chapter 452: To the Prairie
On May 12, bidding farewell to everyone, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling embarked on a journey to the Qimu Grassland with the mission.
Although the journey is hard, the atmosphere in the capital has been very depressing recently, and after leaving, I feel that the air outside is much fresher and freer.
The sky was as blue as if it had been washed, a few white clouds floated leisurely on it, and the sun was brilliant gold, warm and bright.
The road is full of unknown wildflowers, a large number of spread out, the soft wind gently on the face, accompanied by a faint fragrance of flowers, colorful butterflies fluttering, a mesmerizing scenery.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling rode on horses, holding hands and enjoying the scenery of early summer, on the way to the grassland, there was His Majesty and the Queen Mother, it was not as free as now!
"I really hope to be able to fly out of the cage of the capital like a bird and never go back!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Why don't we elope, don't go back!" ”
"Okay!" Zhao Ling smiled, "Let's run now, don't go back, never go back!" ”
The two looked at each other with a smile in their eyes, and at the same time flicked a whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed, and ran out like an arrow from a string.
The people of the mission looked at the backs of the two of them and were startled: "Why did they run away?" What if they run away? If you can't talk about it, how can you explain it to Your Majesty? Let's send someone to chase them back! ”
Among the envoys, there were elderly envoys, who took a puff of tobacco, spit out the smoke rings unhurriedly, and said slowly: "What a hurry! I, that's watching the son grow up, although it looks like a child, but never drop the chain, don't worry, how should we go, just keep moving forward, and when the son has had enough, he will naturally catch up with us! ”
After listening to his words, everyone was relieved and continued to move on.
And Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu came all the way to a small river, and the scenery here is even more elegant.
Jiang Xiaoyu took off her boots, rolled up her trouser legs, and jumped in the river, while the fish paddled past her feet, and she was pleasantly surprised: "There are fish in it, let's compare and see, who catches the fish first!" ”
"Don't jump in it, come up, this water is very cool, don't play in it for a long time, look at me!" Zhao Ling said and found a wooden stick on the side, sharpened the dagger from Jiang Xiaoyu's boots, observed the surface of the river, and then threw the stick in his hand, this stick happened to hit a fish impartially!
Jiang Xiaoyu happily ran over to pick up the fish, and said with a smile: "This fish is fat enough, let's roast it and eat it?" ”
"What are you doing then? Gather firewood! ”
"Okay!"
In the evening, the aroma of grilled fish slowly dissipates and penetrates into the nasal cavity, causing the index finger to move, the sunset on the horizon slowly sinks, and the stars loom in the sky, gentle and romantic.
"Incense, huh?"
"It's fragrant, it's fragrant!" Jiang Xiaoyu said happily, "I always knew that your skills were good!" In the future, when the two of us wander the world, if we can't get along, let's get a restaurant, you are the chef, I am the running hall! ”
"Let me ask you something?" Zhao Ling licked his lips and asked, "What is your agreement with your senior brother?" ”
"Still on your mind?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Lingwan and smiled, "Are you stupid?" Of course, my agreement with my senior brother is also to wander the rivers and lakes in the future! ”
"You with him?"
"It's us with him!"
"That's pretty much it!" Zhao Ling said with satisfaction.
"Big fool!"
The two happily finished eating the fish, looked at the starry sky for a while, and enjoyed the night breeze, Zhao Ling patted the face of Jiang Xiaoyu who was leaning on him, and said, "We have to catch up!" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly, "Wait a while, you can catch up!" ”
Although reluctantly, they still had to catch up with the footsteps of the mission, and the people of the mission were also pleasantly surprised to find that when they were having breakfast in the post house, they could still see the prince and the princess, and they had to admire that the old man was still very accurate in seeing people!
The speed of the mission was not very fast, and it took half a month to reach the Qinko steppe, and Sudia had received the news earlier, so she greeted the arrival of the mission on the road early.
"It's been a long time since Sodya!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "It's getting more and more like a queen, I heard that your grandfather is going to pass on the sweat throne to you after two years?" ”
"After grandma died, his health became worse and worse, he originally wanted to train me for another two years, but now he is afraid that he will let me go ahead of schedule!" Sudiya said, "But Sudia is not afraid, sharing the worries of grandpa and taking responsibility for the tribe is what I should do, and I also believe in myself, I will definitely be able to do it well!" ”
"I believe in your abilities too!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
Su Diya immediately took Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu to incense the deceased old princess.
Sudia said: "Grandpa originally planned to send Grandma's body back to Dazhou for burial, but before she died, Grandma said that she married to the grassland, she is a person from the grassland, and everything must be done according to the customs of the grassland!" However, we still follow the funeral rules of the Great Zhou and set up a spiritual seat for grandma for people to pay tribute! ”
After Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu finished offering incense to the old princess, they went to visit the old khan who had been sick for a long time, and then Sudia prepared a bonfire party for the two of them.
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou is really powerful!" Sudiya said with admiration, "Look at Chen Guo, there is still infighting, but His Majesty the Emperor has solved the hidden dangers of the Great Zhou, and I am afraid that there is no country in this world that can compete with the Great Zhou!" ”
"He's a great man, that's admitted!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "But...... Forget it, all in all, in fact, maybe from his concept, everything he does is right, the concept of this thing, the position of the standing, the natural idea will not be the same! ”
"So you mean, you think he's doing something wrong?" Sudiya asked, sitting next to Jiang Xiaoyu.
"There is no perfect man, there is no god in this world, no one can be a god sincerely, as long as it is a human being, it will make mistakes!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "In his opinion, he just did what he should do as an emperor, just right and wrong, there is never more than one set of criteria for judging, so from other standards, what he did is wrong!" And I'm just an ordinary person who can't evaluate what he did, I can only say that in some aspects, I don't agree with it very much! ”
"There is no way to disagree, because he is the emperor, he stands at the pinnacle of power, and we can only look up to him!" Sudiya said, "By the way, how is Zhao Qian?" Is he okay? Have you got a wife? Do you still like men? ”
"King Jin is very good, he is not married yet, as for whether he likes men or not, I don't know!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"That Zhao Qu is from your Chu Palace, right?" Sudya frowned and said, "This person has some business contacts in the Qinke grassland, but his price is much cheaper than Zhao Qian's, many people on our grassland like to cooperate with him, I don't know much about this business, but this person seems to have close contacts with the people of Qimu, isn't he from the Chu Palace?" You should know about this! ”
"Oh?" Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you don't say it, I don't know about it!" Zhao Qu has a connection with the Qinke grassland, and he hasn't told us about it, but it's interesting! ”
"Don't talk about these head-raising things, since you finally came to the grassland, you must have fun, let's go dance!" Su Diya said, and pulled Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling to dance, in front of the orange bonfire, enthusiastically moved, the empty and open-minded music sounded, and the emotions in her heart seemed to be completely released and integrated into this joyful atmosphere.
The banquet dispersed, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling were walking on the grassland, the night breeze was a little cool, Zhao Ling put his coat on Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulders, and said: "The snow lotus we got in Kunlun Mountain is quite effective, you just took one petal, and your body is much better than before!" ”
"Master said, that Snow Lotus is at least a hundred years old, can it have no effect?" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I gave the flowers I gave birth to to Master, so that he can save more people!" By the way, we're going to Qimu tomorrow, do you have any plans? ”
"Let's do what we planned, meet with Princess Dolan and catch up with the old days!" Zhao Ling said, "Chen Guo is in a mess now, Qimu has no real backer, it is impossible to have the courage to make trouble, but he just wants to take advantage of the Great Zhou to make adjustments and reap some benefits, let's talk about their bottom tomorrow!" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly, "However, I don't know why, I always feel that this matter is a little strange in my heart, and as for the strangeness there, I can't say it!" ”
"Don't think about it!" Zhao Ling said, "After driving for so long, you should be tired, take a good rest tonight!" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "Look, how bright the stars of this grassland are!" ”
"It's pretty good!" Zhao Ling said, "However, how can all the beautiful scenery in this world compare to you?" ”
"Flim Flam!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "You made Zixin a wish, aren't you afraid that she will embarrass you?" ”
"I'm afraid!" Zhao Ling said, "But since I want to repay her favor, even if she wants the stars in the sky, I have to try it too!" If it's against my moral conscience, I'll stab myself and give her back! However, I can see that she really wants to forget about me, and she will definitely not embarrass me, and if there is a real difficulty in the future, she really wants me to help, and I should do my best! ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "No matter what, I thank her for allowing you to stand in front of me well." ”
