Chapter VIII
"This little prince is really pitiful." I chased after him and asked, "What the hell does the king want?"
What does he do? β
"Not anymore." Gu Xiaowu patted the saddle and lay down again, with a grimace
Comfortable, "sleep." β
I was furious, such a headless story, how could I sleep? I say:
"I didn't ask why, why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Xiaowu said: "If there is nothing, there is no more, what are you talking about if you don't have it?" He rolled over and turned his back to me. I saw only his shoulder blades, though covered with sheep
But the night wind was cold, so he hunched his shoulders as if he had fallen asleep.
I pulled the mattress all the way under my chin and covered it warmly, thinking, "This."
Gu Xiaowu looks heartless, and when it comes to stories, it's even more annoying. But look
The way he fell asleep was a bit pitifulβthe little prince in the story he told didn't have Ah
Mother, he doesn't have a mother, and people who don't have a mother, of course it's pitiful. I just have to think about me
If I didn't have my mother, I would have burst into tears.
I fell asleep in a daze, probably because I had heard the story before I went to bed
In my dreams I dreamed of the little prince. He was still very small, really small, only about three or four
A man squatted there crying, his shoulder blades shrunk as if he had been wounded
The little beast. It's like one time after a snowfall, I saw an injured one in a trap dug by a hunter
The little fox. The little fox was like that, curled up in a ball, holding only moist black eyes
Looking at me, full of wariness, but vaguely timid. Its shoulder bones are shrunk
Come, the abrupt, pointy mouth shell is also hidden under the claws, and the snow is falling continuously, my heart
He felt infinite pity for it, and couldn't help but reach out and want to pull it. Who knew that when it looked up,
It turned out to be Gu Xiaowu, I was shocked, I only felt so weird in my heart, and I was scared immediately
Woke up. At this time, the sky was almost dawn, the slanting moon was sinking in the west, the stars were dim, and even the bonfire was gradual
As it faded out, the night seemed to grow stronger. The two thousand horsemen on the steppe slept deeply, only the shuttle
The patrol sentinels are still walking around on their own. The blades of grass beside my face were already covered with cool dew
The water, the dew touched my face, so I licked it with my tongue, and it was sweet. I flip
got up and fell asleep again.
At dawn the next day we set up camp and walked east for another five or six days
Yu met the rangers sent by the Turks, and Heshi heard that the king tent of Da Shan Yu was near the left,
Immediately overjoyed. My heart was also very happy, because I was about to see Awn. only
It was the two thousand horsemen who escorted us in the Central Plains, but it was inconvenient to stay at the border of the Turks, immediately
Then he took his leave and went back.
He Shi admired this team of Central Plains people very much, saying that they had strict military discipline and fast action.
He is also brave when he fights, and he is a rare hero. He lost them a long way away, and I also sent them west with Heshi. The afternoon sun was scorching, and Gu Xiaowu was hanging on the saddle
With my eyebrows lowered and I seemed to be taking a lazy nap, I said, "Hey, you go back, give it to me."
My father brought a message, saying that I had reached the Turks safely. β
Gu Xiaowu said: "Then it depends on whether I will go to the royal city to sell tea again." β
I said, "If you don't go back to sell tea, where are you going?" β
He smiled, but didn't answer me. At this time, the centaurs of the Central Plains had already gone far, he
He waved at me and chased after me.
I put my hand on my forehead, and the grassland terrain stretched as far as the eye could see, and after a long time, I could still see it
He caught up with the group and waved his hand at us. Gradually went farther away, like Haoran
The mustard dust between heaven and earth is subtle, and it can no longer be distinguished. I looked at his back and remembered
The story he told me yesterday was just a shock.
Someone behind me suddenly laughed, and I turned around, and it turned out to be Heshi. Tal
The horse stood behind me, and I asked him angrily, "What are you laughing at?" β
Heyu nodded, but shook his head again, still smiling and saying to me, "Little princess, let's."
Let's go back. β
I was so overjoyed when I saw Aung that I forgot all my worries.
I haven't seen you for a year, and Ah Weng has preferred me more, and I am willful and messing around. He's lost arm suffers
was injured, and Ah Weng was worried that I would get into trouble, so he asked He's sister to follow me all day long. Hey
's sister is about the same age as me, and she has learned martial arts since she was a child, and her swordsmanship is very skillful. I like to call the most
Her name: "Adu! Adu! "It's like calling a little bird, and she's really like one
Little bird, wherever I am, as soon as I call, she will appear in my eyes immediately
front, as light and flexible as a bird flapping its wings.
What I didn't expect was that the king of the Yue clan actually sent a messenger to ask Ah Weng to speak
Decide on the marriage. Ah Weng didn't let the envoy into the account at all, so he sent someone to say to the envoy of the king of the Yue clan
Said: "Although the little princess is not our Turkic princess, her mother is Da Danyu
daughter. Da Shan Yu regarded the little princess as his granddaughter and was only willing to marry her
To the heroes of the day. If your king wants to marry a little princess, ask him to come to the account himself
Come and compete with the Turkic warriors, as long as he can catch the white-eyed wolf king in the Tianqing Mountain, Da Shan Yu will marry the little princess to him. This is the decree of Da Dan Yu, even if it is a small duke
The Lord's father, the lord of Xiliang, is also willing to obey Da Danyu's arrangement. β
The envoy of the king of the Yue clan touched such a nail and walked away in a huff.
The edict of Tierghda Dadanyu spread throughout the steppe, and everyone knew that if they wanted to marry
Xiliang's little princess has to kill the white-eyed wolf king. Legend has it that the wolves of Tiangan Mountain are formed
Thousands, but only one white-eyed wolf is the king. Wolves, like people, succumb to the most
Under the strong king. The white-eyed wolf king had a dark coat all over his body, except for a circle on his left eye
The white hair, as if it had been dipped in mare's milk, was snow-white and snow-white. It is said that such wolves at all
It's not a wolf, it's almost a demon. The wolves are terrible on the grassland, the white-eyed wolf king,
It's even more terrifying. A small group of cavalry and shepherds were very fierce when they encountered the white-eyed wolf king
Dangerous, because it will lead tens of thousands of wolves against people, and then eat dry people and horses
Clean. I once thought that the white-eyed wolf king was a legend, a story told by grandma, after all
No one has ever seen the white-eyed wolf king with their own eyes, but everyone swears by it and says that the wolf king
It's really on the Tiangan Mountain, leading hundreds of thousands of wolves.
The king of the Yue clan was provoked by Da Shan Yu, and it is said that he personally led people into Tianqing Mountain to find Bai
The Eyed Wolf King went. What if he really killed the White-Eyed Wolf King? I don't want to marry that old man
Child. But no one can kill the white-eyed wolf king, all the Turks think so, all the grass
The people on the original also thought so, although the king of the Yue clan led people into the mountain in a mighty way, but also
You may not be able to meet the white-eyed wolf king, because no one has really seen the white-eyed wolf at all
King, it lives only in legends. I feel comforted when I think of this, the year of the Yue Clan
Old and frail, hundreds of miles within a radius of Tiangan Mountain, there are many strange stone beasts, maybe he will fall from the horse
Come down and fall and be unable to move, so I won't have to marry him.
My days in the Turks were even happier than in Xiliang, and I was with Adu every day
From now, either to hunt or to hunt birds. Turkic women married early, and Adu also arrived
At the age of singing. Sometimes people would sing all night outside her tent, and it would be noisy
I can't sleep. But no one came to sing to me, and I think those people probably knew, yes
If you want to marry me, you have to kill the white-eyed wolf king. Even for the warriors of the steppe, this is one
Difficult topic.
I don't think it's because I'm not pretty that no one sings to me
Huh.
I was sleeping in my tent that day when I suddenly heard a noise outside, as if
It's a bombed battalion in general. I got up as soon as I was bone, and I called "Adu" loudly, and she hurried
Di lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in, and I asked her, "What's wrong?" Something went wrong? β
Adu was also at a loss, I think she, like me, didn't know what was going on
Finish. At this time, Ah Weng sent someone over, bent down and saluted us: "The big order is passed on to the little prince."
And the Lord came to the tent. β
"Is there going to be a war?" I asked a little nervously, last time the king of the Yue clan
The envoy went back in disgrace, and with the temperament of the king of the Yue clan, it was difficult to give up. King of the Moon Clan
was provoked to find the white-eyed wolf king, but who can find the white-eyed wolf king? This is clearly a big order
Yu - the trap that Ah Weng put on the king of the Yue clan who loves me the most. If the king of the moon clan is angry and ashamed,
Suddenly understood, maybe there would be a war with the Turks, if the Yue clan and the Turks were at war
Bing, then it is really a bad thing for the entire Western Regions. Although the Turks were the strongest in the Western Regions
The powerful country is located in the north of the desert, and its territory extends to the seaside of the extreme east, but the Yueshi is also west
Although it is not as strong as the Turks, it is not weak in terms of national strength.
Moreover, the short peace of the Western Regions for more than ten years has allowed the trade routes to be unimpeded, and the cities have gradually multiplied
Hua, just like our Xiliang, if there were no trade routes, there would not be today's prosperity. If
If there is another war, maybe all this will cease to exist.
I took Adu and hurried to the king's tent, and the big tent of Da Danyu was called the king's tent.
It is made of countless cowhides, and it is also painted with gorgeous flower ornaments and snow-white accounts
There are auspicious sentences written on it, and the gold dust that is filled in is illuminated by the autumn sun, and the strokes are stroked
It's so bright that people hardly dare to look at it. Those golden shadows were reflected on the ground, a sentence and a half
Sentences, all pray for the blessing of God. In that brilliant golden light, I squinted and watched
The familiar and unfamiliar figure in front of the tent, although he was wearing a robe common to Xiliang people
Son, but this person is not like us Xiliang people at all. He turned his head and smiled at me
laughed, sure enough, this person is not from Xiliang, but from the Central Plains.
Gu Xiaowu, the merchant who sells tea.
I couldn't help but ask him, "What are you doing here?" β
"Marry you."
I looked at him dumbfounded, and after a long while, I smiled and asked him, "Hey, you again."
Selling tea here? β
Gu Xiaowu no longer answered, but slowly tossed Dong on the ground with his toes
West.
When I saw something like that, my jaw dropped.
It was a giant wolf with a black coat, almost twice as big as an ordinary wild wolf.
It's like a foal, even though it's stiff and dead, it's still staring, like
Be ready to pounce and devour people at any time. It only has a ring of white hair on its left eye, as if it has been dipped in mare's milk
The painting is snow-white. I rubbed my eyes, stunned for a moment, and then squatted again
Come down and pluck out a hair from its left eye, which is white from head to tip, not a painting
What went up was really white hair.
At this time, the king's tent was already full of Turkic nobles, who watched the bizarre in silence
Huge wolf corpse, a bold child rushed up and plucked it out of its eyes like I did
Mao, looking at the sun, then shouted: "It's white!" It's white! β
The noise of children disturbed me, but Aong's voice pierced through the crowd
It came straight through: "Whether we are Turkic or not, we are all warriors." "The crowd is crowded
Turning out for a way, Aung walked out slowly, and he looked at the wolf corpse on the ground
glanced at it, nodded, then nodded to Gu Xiaowu again, and said, "Okay!" β
If you want to praise a big one, it is better than letting the snow melt away on the top of Tiangan Mountain
Difficult. But Gu Xiaowu killed the white-eyed wolf king, and Da Danyu personally promised who could kill him
The white-eyed wolf king, who are you going to marry me?
I didn't expect this person to be Gu Xiaowu. I followed him and kept asking
How did he kill the White-Eyed Wolf King?
He said lightly: "I was passing by with people selling tea, and I happened to meet wolves,
So he killed the wolf. β
I opened my mouth slightly, not believing it. It is said that the king of the Yue clan brought 30,000 horses into Tianqing Mountain, and he didn't find a single hair of the white-eyed wolf king, and Gu Xiaowu sold tea and passed by.
Can you kill the white-eyed wolf king?
I don't believe it if I am killed!
But what Da Shan Yu said must be counted, and many people in the Turks at the moment are
began to talk about it, seeing that this tea seller in the Central Plains was really going to marry the princess of Xiliang
Finish. Gu Xiaowu is regarded as a hero, I still think he is bluffing, but he lost that day
Drunk, quarrel with him, and the two of them have a competition.
Their competition was so boring that they went to the grassland to shoot bats in the dark
Bats, whoever shoots more wins.
Only those who have shot bats know how hard it really is to shoot.
Although the Turks felt that the victory was certain, they still made a bet. I think He, too
The loss is set, although the bone of his right hand is not good, but even if Heshi is with his left hand, the whole
No one in the Turks can compare to his magic arrows.
This competition only lasted for half a day, and it was well known. Everyone else said
He lost wanting to marry me, after all, he was the most powerful samurai under the big order, and he might not be able to say it in the future
is still the most powerful general under the big list. And I, although I am the princess of Xiliang, but
Everyone knows that Da Shan Yu likes me the most, and if he marries me, Da Shan Yu will definitely trust me more
He.
But I don't think Heshu would have such strange thoughts, and I think maybe it's Adu
Tell him that I don't want to marry Gu Xiaowu.
Although I vaguely feel that Gu Xiaowu is not an ordinary tea seller. But I still do
I hope that I won't get married so early.
The Turkic priests sang hymns, drained the blood of the sheep into the bowl, and handed the bowl over
Give the two heroes who are about to compete, and both of them will drink it all in one go. Tonight they were
The two will compete against each other. Heshi is a well-known hero among the Turkic people, and Gu Xiao
Fifth, also because of the white-eyed wolf king, he was regarded as a hero by many Turks, these two
The human contest made everyone excited. And I was very embarrassed and didn't know hope
What is the result?
