CHAPTER IX

If Gu Xiaowu wins, do I really have to marry him?

What if he loses and wins? Am I going to marry Hesui?

I was taken aback by this thought, and He Wei just taught Gu Xiaowu a lesson on my behalf and let him

Not so arrogant, like Hesha teaching the boys who sang outside the Adu tent on weekdays

If they make too much noise, Heshi will try to calm them down.

I think it's the same, Gu Xiaowu killed the white-eyed wolf king, and no one is convinced.

He didn't care at all, so he openly said to Ah Weng that he wanted to marry me.

That's why Heshi wanted to teach him a lesson.

This competition, even Da Shan Yu heard about it, and he was very interested and wanted to see it in person

Take a look. I was nervous, and I followed Ah Weng, and with the crowd watching the excitement, I swelled

And out, all the way to the river. The warrior in front of the tent brought the arrows and took the arrows

Stacked at the feet of the two of them. He Shi held his own bow, and he saw that Gu Xiaowu was empty-handed

empty, then said to Gu Xiaowu: "Lend you my bow." ”

Gu Xiaowu nodded, but Da Shan Yu smiled and said, "In our Turkic camp,

Can't you find a bow yet? ”

Da Danyu gave Gu Xiaowu an iron bow, and I can make trouble for Gu Xiaowu.

This iron bow was heavier than an ordinary bow, and with his weak appearance, he was afraid that he would pull the bow open

It's hard. He Shi was afraid that he also thought of this, he didn't want to take advantage of Gu Xiaowu, and he was very good

He said, "Let him use my bow, and Da Shan Yu will give me this bow to use." ”

Da Shan Yu shook his head and said, "I can't even pull a bow, do you still want to marry."

My granddaughter? ”

The onlookers laughed, and many Turks didn't believe that the white-eyed wolf king really was

Gu Xiaowu killed, so they still had a trace of contempt. Gu Xiaowu held the one

The bow, as if playing a harp, plucked the bowstring with his fingers. The bowstring clanged, and onlookers watched

The laughter was even louder, and he was born white and pure, like those in the tents of the Turkic nobles

The musicians of the Central Plains who were bought are now playing the bowstrings like this, which makes the Turks look down on them even more.

It was getting dark, and the sky by the river was full of bats. The big order is clicked

head, said, "Let's get started." ”

East Palace 210

He Shi and Gu Xiaowu both had a hundred arrows piled up around them, who shot a hundred bats first,

Whoever wins. Hesh opened his bow first, and though he used his left hand, the arrow was not missing.

It was dazzling to see, but in the blink of an eye, I saw bats falling from the sky

Get down. And Gu Xiaowu here, but he was slow and methodical, drew five arrows, and slowly put on the bow

String.

I called "Gu Xiaowu", although I don't know if he can shoot arrows, but he

You should also know that the arrows are shot one by one. Gu Xiaowu turned his head and smiled at me,

Then he drew his bow.

To be honest, I didn't even expect him to pull it open with ease

Bow. Not only did he pull the bow, but he also fired five arrows in a row, as fast as a meteor, almost the end of the head

connected, and the people next to him couldn't help but exclaim.

"Arrows! Arrows! Several Turkic nobles were shouting in shock,

Even Da Shan Yu couldn't help but nodded. The Central Plains general is good at making arrows, Zeng

After fighting against the Turks, he used this series of arrows to shoot the Turkic King Zuo Tuqi. can

That's a legend after all, and decades have passed, and the Turkic nobles have never seen Lianzhu again

Arrow. And Gu Xiaowu did it in one go, firing five arrows in a row, although those bats were chaotic

Flying, but he couldn't help but shoot arrows and arrows, and black bats fell at his feet, like

A scattered torrential rain. Although Hesu shoots fast, he is not as fast as him, and it is different

After a while, Gu Xiaowu shot the hundred arrows. The slaves picked up the bats and got tired on the banks of the river

A hundred bats are like a hundred strange black flowers, stacked

Together, they become huge black hillocks.

Although He Shi also shot down a hundred bats, he shot slower than Gu Xiaowu.

Hesh's face was calm and he said, "I lost. ”

Gu Xiaowu said: "I use a strong bow to send even beaded arrows, if you change it."

Bow, I must be slower than you. And your right hand is inconvenient, and it is all up to your left hand to exert force, if you want to say

I won you, that's my victory. Neither of us lost, you are truly brave

If your hand hadn't hurt, I'd be no match for you. ”

Gu Xiaowu's archery skills had already shocked everyone, and seeing him so calmly, the crowd couldn't help but shout hello. The Turkic people have a loose temperament, and they like to act happily and care for the small

Fifth, such a person can greatly temper the Turks. Da Dan Yu smiled happily:

"Yes, our Turkic warriors have not lost either." He looked at Gu Xiaowu and said,

"Central Plains people, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Da Shan Yu, you have given me the most precious thing." Gu Xiaowu seems

is smiling, "What is more precious in this world than your little princess?" ”

Da Shan Yu laughed, and the other Turkic nobles were also elated.

That's how it was decided.

The priest chose an auspicious time, and took advantage of the crisp autumn weather to marry us

Courtesy. I hesitated in my heart and quietly asked Adu: "Do you think I am marrying this person."

Is it better not to marry this person? ”

Adu looked at me with her dark eyes, and there was always a composure in her eyes

Serene. I couldn't make up my mind myself, and finally I finally got the courage to ask Gu Xiaowu to be there

Meet by the river.

I don't know what to say to him, but if I really marry like this

He always felt a little uneasy.

On autumn evenings, when the night breeze was already quite cool, I wrapped my leather robe tightly and wandered

Wandering by the river, listening to the "whooshing" sound of the river, and the chirping of geese in the distance,

I looked up. A large bright star had already risen in the west, and the sky was deep purple

It's like grape jelly.

The wind blew the grass rustling, and Gu Xiaowu stepped on the grass and walked towards me

Come here.

I suddenly felt a rush in my heart. He wore the robes of the Turks, like all the Turks

He is a general human, and he has a scimitar stuck in his waist. These days, Gu Xiaowu has been very big

Shan Yu's like, he is not only good at archery, but also can speak Turkic, although he is one

The people of the Central Plains, but Da Danyu trusted him more and more, and gave him his iron bow.

And since that night's competition, Heshi and he have almost become brothers. Gu Xiaowu taught He

How to make a series of arrows, He lost also taught him some things on the grassland. Every time Da Shan Yu saw the two of them, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. He lost even made friends with Gu Xiaowu

Changed the waist knife - the Turks changed the knife, in fact, it was to form a righteous alliance, go into battle to kill the enemy, and form a righteous brother

is closer than brothers, and they are willing to die for each other. So Gu Xiaowu's belt, actually

It was Hesh's scimitar, and as soon as I saw it, I remembered that Hesh had taken it

It was handed to me and urged me to go first.

Gu Xiaowu also saw me, he smiled at me from afar, and I smiled at him too

Laugh. Seeing his smile, I suddenly calmed down, although I didn't speak, he too

He didn't speak, but he must have understood why I had asked him to come here. really

He said to me, "I have brought you something." ”

My heart is pounding, it can't be a belt, right? If he wants to put his waist

Bring it to me, how should I answer? According to the customs of the Turkic and Western Liang, men both

He didn't sing to me until after he had sung, and he hadn't sung to me. I feel in my heart

It's no wonder that my heart was beating fast and fast, but I heard him say, "You're late."

Didn't you eat enough, did you? I brought you a big piece of grilled lamb chops! ”

I was so angry that I couldn't even speak, and I puffed out my cheeks, and it took me a long time to pop out

One sentence: "You haven't eaten enough!" ”

Gu Xiaowu's face was inexplicable: "Of course I'm full...

I didn't eat anything, so I brought you a lamb chop. ”

I was silent and angry, listening to the singing of unknown birds in the distance. The river "whoops."

There was a bang, and a fish jumped up in the water and made a splash. Gu Xiaowu will be that one

Large pieces of fragrant lamb chops rested in front of me, and I really didn't eat anything at night, because of me

I was thinking about going on a date with Gu Xiaowu by the river, so I ate at night

I don't know the taste. Now when I see this fragrant lamb chop, my stomach is gurgling

Come. He laughed and handed me the knife and said, "Eat!" ”

Lamb chops are so delicious! I ate with my mouth full of oil, and happily asked him, "How are you?"

Do you know I love lamb chops? ”

Gu Xiaowu said a sentence in the Central Plains, I didn't understand, and he said to me in Turkic again

Everywhere, it turned out to be: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart." "I've never heard of such a phrase, and I don't know why my heart moves.

What kind of person is called a person with a heart? Although I don't know Gu Xiaowu

For a long time, but I always felt that I had known him for a long time. Maybe it's because of us

I have been through so many things in between, and every time it is he who helps me and protects me. Although he

Every time I say something, it always makes me angry, but this sentence makes me angry. We

The two sat silently by the river, and in the distance came the singing of the Turks, which was subtle and low

Love songs, the Turkic warriors always have to sing outside the tent of their beloved girl, and will be their own

Sing her all the words in your heart.

I've never thought the singing was so beautiful, ethereal as fairy music. river

The fireflies flying in the grass on the edge are like ethereal meteors, and they seem to follow anyone

A handful of gold sand sprinkled by hand. I even think that those little glittering bugs, yes

The messengers of the gods, carrying delicate lanterns, flickered in the cool night

Village. The camp on the other side of the river was also scattered with sporadic fires, and the laughter and laughter were all like them

It's a day apart. It dawned on me that if the gods descended from the clouds of the Nine Heavens

Looking at the world, will it be the same feeling? So ethereal, so illusory, like this

Distant and vague.

I finally asked Gu Xiaowu, "Are you willing to marry me?" ”

Gu Xiaowu seemed to be a little surprised, glanced at me, and then said, "Of course."

Willing. ”

"But I have a bad temper, and you are from the Central Plains, I am from Xiliang, you like it

I like to eat mutton. You speak the Central Plains dialect, I don't understand, your Central Plains affairs

I don't understand either. If you are told to stay in Xiliang, here is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, you

You're going to be homesick. If you don't stay in Xiliang, go back to the Central Plains, where you will be thousands away

I'm going to be homesick. Although you killed the White-Eyed Wolf King, you didn't have to

It's because of me, you also said, you just passed by when you were selling tea...

However, I know that this kind of thing is reluctant..."

I talked a lot about it, from the first time we first met

I talked about all kinds of inconveniences, and my mouth was dry. Gu Xiaowu didn't interrupt me, and it wasn't until he saw me put down the lamb chops and go to drink water that he asked, "That's what I said."

Most, in fact, it is all something outside the body. I only ask you if you would like to marry me

This? ”

The water in my mouth almost squirted out, and I stared at him for a long time, and suddenly my face slammed

Hot: "Would you like to..."

"Say it!" He urged me, "Would you like it or not?" ”

My heart is in turmoil, and every scene in the past few days has been like a phantom, and it is like

Dream. There are so many things and so fast, I really never thought of getting married so quickly,

But Gu Xiaowu, I thought he was very annoying at first, but now I can't hate it. I don't

I know how to answer, looking at the little autumn fireflies flying in the sky, I suddenly felt a heart,

He said, "Then you catch me a hundred fireflies, and I will promise you." ”

As soon as these words came out, he stood up abruptly. I looked at him in amazement, but he was

Like a naughty boy, he even raised his hand and turned a big somersault. I look at him as a whole person

They all rose into the air, like a starβ€”no, no, a meteor wouldn't be like this, he Jane

It's about to fall into the riverbank. Suddenly he waved his hand, and I saw him grab it

Several fireflies, those elves flickered between his fingers, and I will grow

The hem of the robe was rolled up, and he said hurriedly, "Quick! Fast! "He put those fireflies in me

In the bag made of the hem of the clothes, I watched him jump up again, the martial arts of the Central Plains, like

A painting, a poem, freehand. His every move was like a dance, but

There is no such heroic dance in the world. He spun at an incredible angle in mid-air

Turning, chasing those ethereal fireflies. A breeze was blowing from his sleeves, and I pointed it out for him

Direction: "Left!" There are a lot of them on the left! "Alas!" "Run! Over there! ah

There are quite a few there! ”

β‹―β‹―

The laughter of the two of us drifted far away from the riverbank, and the fireflies in the hem of my clothes came in

The more, the more, together they emit a glowing light, like a bright moon, been

I clasped it in my arms. All the fireflies by the river were gone, and they were all caught by Gu Xiaowu

Live, put it in my arms.
