Chapter XI
The stables in the camp were piled with countless hay for fodder, and the fire broke out
It's hard to clean up. There was an uproar in the barracks, and everyone rushed to put out the fire.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the master finally escaped with me and Adu. The Central Plains military discipline is very high
It was strict, but in a short time, the uproar in the camp had gradually quieted down, and some people were running
Putting out the fire, others rode up and chased after us.
In this way, they fought and retreated, until they retreated to the foot of Tianqing Mountain, but there were more and more chasing soldiers
Finish. I looked at the pursuers waving the banner of apricot yellow, and I didn't recognize the original characters on them
knowledge, so he asked the master: "These people are all from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" "The Central Plains are in Anxidu
There are heavy troops in Hufutun, but I didn't expect them to fight so hard.
The master splashed a few drops of blood on his cheek, he was so neat, waved his hand to wipe away the blood,
But he sneered repeatedly: "Where are there so many light horsemen in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate...
Yu Linwei of the East Palace, the so-called Yu Linlang in the Central Plains, are all children of the family, and this time
Plugged, but it was to gain fame and fortune. You see them fighting bravely one by one, that's all thinking
Make a great contribution. ”
I asked, "What is the big credit?" ”
The master said, "Capturing you alive is a great achievement." ”
I never thought I would be so important. Those Yulin soldiers chased after us relentlessly, kept shouting and scolding, and some people even learned the weird Xiliang dialect, saying that we would only
Grab your tail and run away. If it were usual, I would have been provoked to turn around and fight into the battle, but one
After a series of twists and turns, I finally knew that one person in the army was like a drop in the ocean
Like the blades of grass before a hurricane, no one can resist the onslaught of thousands of horses. Awn
No, not Heshi, not the master.
When it was dark, we fled into the mountains, and the army could not go up the mountains, so we stayed in the mountains
Feet. We looked down from behind the rocks, and there was a bonfire burning at the bottom of the mountain, and a meandering line not far away
The fire dragon is still coming from the camp. I finally asked the master: "Gu Xiao."
What kind of person is five? ”
"He doesn't have a surname at all." The master's tone calmed down as usual,
"He is Li Chengyin, the fifth son of the Emperor of the Central Plains, and the Donggong Tai of today's dynasty
Child. ”
I only guessed that Gu Xiaowu was not a tea dealer, and after the incident, I had a vague ake
He should be the general of the Central Plains Imperial Court, but he is so young. The Central Plains Imperial Court is famous
There are many generals, and I have not heard of a general surnamed Gu. It turns out that he doesn't have the surname Gu at all, no
is not surnamed Gu, and his identity is so prominent.
I don't know if I want to cry or laugh.
I think of the envoy sent by the Central Plains, when the envoy came to ask for the prince of the Central Plains
Target. But how did it come to this? At that time, I didn't have anything to do with the Central Plains
good feelings, but it won't be like now, hated to the bone.
"Why did he say his surname was Gu?"
The master hesitated for a moment, I never thought he would hesitate, but in the end
He still told me the truth: "Because his mother's surname is Gu." ”
I looked at the master, but I couldn't see anything in the dark, and his voice was low
Slowly: "Yes, you already know that my surname is Gu, and his mother, Concubine Shu, was originally my relative."
Aunt. So I'm not actually a good person, His Majesty ordered him to go out of the Sesi expedition, but he sent him
I sneaked into Xiliang quietly and made an internal response for him..."
My mind was in a mess, I thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the master's name, I quietly called out his name: "Gu Jian!" I asked him, "So, what are you going to do?"
When will you kill me, or when will you take me to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
Gu Jian didn't answer, although in the dark, I seemed to be able to see the corners of his lips
Cool smile. After a long time, he said, "You know I won't." ”
The hatred that swelled in my heart was like a raging flame that engulfed it
My heart, the sharp stones in my hands, the sharp edges and corners of those fine crumbs have been deep
Sink into the palm of my hand. My voice was still full of hatred: "You Central Plains people, what else."
No? You've been lying to me like this! Gu Xiaowu lied to me, and you lied again and again
I! You've known me since the beginning, so you made up your mind, right? What else do you have?
No, it won't! You have deceived me again and again, and you have believed in you in vain my father! Waste me
Call you master..."
I didn't know what I was talking about, and I cursed and cursed him
Some Central Plains people are liars. In fact, I know in my heart that I only hate Gu Xiaowu, him
How can you treat me like this. I have never had such a strong hatred, if Gu Xiaowuyi
It's good that the sword killed me, and if the master didn't save me, maybe I would have died
I've been scolding for a long time, and I'm finally tired. I looked at Gu Jian and sneered: "You."
The next time you came to save me, is it something to capture or indulge in, and it will be good to go to the emperor of the Central Plains in the future
Receiving the reward? ”
The master looked at me, and after a long while, he said, "Xiao Feng, I do."
I knew you because I had other intentions, I used to lie to you, but...
When you're there, I always feel so sad. You're still a kid at all, no matter me
No matter how I lied to you, you still believe me, and the more I lied to you, the more guilty I felt in my heart. I give
Li Chengyin flew the pigeon to deliver the message, in fact, at that time, I really hoped that he would never come...
You're waiting in the dunes, and I'm actually watching you from not far away, watching you there
Waiting, waiting,
On your face, I look at the look on your face, just like the little fox you sing about
"His voice slowly lowered, "I know I'm obsessed with you
Obviously, I was still a child, but at that time, I really hoped that Li Chengyin would never appear, so that I might be able to take you away...
Go, leave Xiliang, but then he still came, everything was calculated in advance
I had to avoid you for the time being... I don't know...
's hope, thinking that you may not like him... but... Li Chengyin is going to kill White Eye
When the wolf king was king, I knew that there was no room for irreparation. I was the one who helped him kill
The wolf had been bitten on the leg, and I said to him, "Your Highness, what is this?"
Must? In fact, I despise myself even more in my heart, and why do I bother with all this I do?
I know that he killed the wolf king just to see you again. I'm helping him, in fact, I'm taking you
Push him into his arms..."
I didn't know what he was talking about, his look was sad, and finally he just said, "Little."
Kaede, it's me who can't stand you. ”
I didn't speak, there is no one in this world who can't stand me, only I can't live otherwise
Person.
I can't live with Ah Weng, I lured the wolf into the room, so that Ah Weng trusted Gu Xiaowu, and the result was Turkic
The whole army was destroyed.
I can't help it, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died.
I can't stand Adu, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be hurt.
I can't live with all the Turks, they are my relatives, but I have brought them in
merciless killing.
There is no one in this world who can't stand me, except for Gu Xiaowu...
But it doesn't matter, I'll kill him, I'll always have a chance to kill him...
I looked up at the stars above my head and swore in the name of the gods that one day I would
will kill him.
I fell asleep for a short time at dawn, and the sound of drums under the mountain woke me up.
I opened my eyes and saw that Adu was jumping. And Gu Jian's face was calm, and he said to Adu:
"Take the princess away."
"I'm not leaving." I stubbornly said, "If you want to die, the three of us will die together."
Child. ”
"I'll go and lead the enemy away, and Adu will take you away." Gu Jian drew his sword and said in a calm tone, "Li Chengyin has a hard temperament, do you still expect him to be sincere to you?" If you fall
In his hands, it was just another bargaining chip for him to pacify Xiliang. ”
Xiliang!
I just jumped up in shock, Gu Jian looked at me, and I opened my mouth: "He still wants it."
To attack Xiliang? ”
Gu Jian smiled and said, "For the king, when will this world come to an end."
Head? ”
I couldn't say a word, but the drum sounded three times, and the bottom was in the middle
The original people have already begun to charge. Gu Jian said to me, "Let's go!" ”
Adu pulled me, although she was slightly injured, but she was still very flexible, she pulled
As I climbed over the rock, I hurriedly turned my head and saw Gu Jian standing on the rock
At the top, the early morning sun was shining on him, and the white robe on his body was originally splashed with freshness
The blood, after a night, had already coagulated into a black and purple blood scab. He stood in the middle of the morning light, like
It was a god with a sword in his hand, and the wind blew his robe, and I remembered him last night
What I said was like a dream. I remember when I first met him
At that time, he rescued a child from a frightened horse, and his white robe rolled down the yellow sand, stained
It was full of dust, but at that time he was so majestic, as if he could block the world
All the heavens are falling apart. At that time, things were like dreams. So many days
Everything that has happened since then has felt like a nightmare to me.
Adu and I walked around in the mountains, day and night. Although the people of the Central Plains searched the mountains with a large army,
But we were so clever that they couldn't find us for a while. We hid in the mountains
For many days, when I was thirsty, I drank snow water, and when I was hungry, I dug gerbils' holes, where there were always grass seeds and dried grass
fruit, can satisfy hunger. We don't know if Gu Jian is still alive, and we don't know if he is in the mountain
How many days have I been hiding.
By this time, it was already August, because it was starting to snow. It seemed like overnight
Suddenly, Tiangan Mountain was covered with overwhelming snowflakes, the grass was withered and yellow, and there was frost everywhere. One
When it snows, there is no longer a place to hide in the mountains, and even antelopes no longer come out to feed. At night, the mountain wind can literally blow people to death. The army of the Central Plains should have been before the snow fell
They were withdrawn, for it would be terrible for the army to be stranded in the snow and without food and grass
The general who led the troops could not help but think about it. Adu and I hid in the mountains for two more days, no
Seeing that there was any trace of searching the mountain, he decided to venture down the mountain.
We were lucky enough to go down the mountain and walk south all day before we came across herdsmen
Person. The shepherds boiled snow water for us to wash our hands and faces, and cooked mutton for us to eat. Me and
Both of them were embarrassed like savages, and we had been hiding in the mountains for too long, and we had never been able to eat
Satiety, but the mountains after the snow are even more difficult. Drinking goat's milk in a warm tent, Adu and I
It's like coming back to earth from hell. Although this shepherd is from the Yueshi clan, he is ten
Sympathetic to the Turkic plight, he thought that we were women who had escaped from the Turks, so he treated
We're good. He told us that the army of the Central Plains had withdrawn southward, and that there were still a few thousand more to come
The Turks also fled, and they fled farther west.
I don't think much about it, the warm goat's milk melts my determination for revenge, I
I know that I can't resist those Central Plains people by relying on me and Adu, let alone for Adu
Weng took revenge. I decided to take Adu back to Xiliang, I miss my father, and I miss A-Niang even more.
I was anxious to go back to the royal city, tell my father what had happened to the Turks, and call him ten thousand
Be careful to beware of the Central Plains. Ah Weng is dead, Ah Niang must be sad, I am anxious to see it
She, comfort her. Although Ah Weng is gone, Ah Niang still has me.
Along the way, I was worried, lest I be one step late, lest Xiliang also be Li
Chengyin fell, just as they killed the Turks. We have traveled through both wind and snow, and we have gone through the road
After hard work, I finally rushed outside the Xiliang King City.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that the huge royal city was safe and sound. The gates remain
The old cave was open, and when winter came, there were fewer caravans, and the guards guarding the city shrank in the doorway, wrapped
Sheepskin robes snoozing. Adu and I slipped into the royal city quietly.
The familiar palace looks particularly solemn in the cold night of late autumn, and we are not surprised
The guards who guarded the palace entered the palace directly through a small door. The royal palace of Xiliang
In fact, there are only a few thousand guards stationed, and they are very lax, after all, Xiliang has no appointment
No enemy, all the people who come and go are merchants. It is said that it is a royal palace, but in fact, it is not as heavily guarded as the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. I used to slip out of the palace through this little door, and after going out of the city,
Sneaking back from here, I haven't been spotted once.
The whole palace seemed to be asleep, and I walked back to my own room with Adu,
It was quiet inside, and there was no one. The weather was too cold, and Adu's face was frozen all the time
Gray and white, I took a leather robe and put it on Adu, and both of us wore our boots
Broken, exposing the toes. I found two new pairs of boots to put on, and it was warm
Finish.
I walked down the corridor to the dormitory where A-Niang lived, and I trotted all the way, just wanting to be early
See A-Niang.
There were no lights in the dormitory, but there was a fire in the palace, and there were several on the carpet
Huge brazier, I saw Daddy sitting by the brazier, seemingly with his head down.
I called softly, "Daddy." ”
Daddy's body trembled suddenly, and he slowly turned around and saw that it was me, his eyes
His eyes were red: "Child, where have you been?" ”
I've never seen Daddy like this, and my eyes can't help but be hot.
It seems that all the grievances in the stomach are going to flow out from under the eyes. I pulled Daddy's sleeve and asked
Him: "Where's A-Niang?" ”
Daddy's eyes were even redder, and his voice seemed to come from his nose, he
He said, "Kid, run away, run away." ”
I stared blankly at him as Adu jumped up and pulled out her knife. All sides suddenly brightened
Come, there are countless people with lantern torches pouring in, the person who is the leader I know, I
knew that he was an envoy sent by the Central Plains to Xiliang to ask for relatives, and now he was alive, just like one
Only the victorious rooster walked in, pacing square steps. When he saw Daddy, he didn't kneel
Li, but said proudly: "King Xiliang, since the princess has returned, that."
The marriage contract between the two countries naturally has to be fulfilled, and now you have no excuse to shirk
bar. ”
These people are really annoying, I pulled Daddy's sleeve and asked him persistently: "Auntie."
This? ”
Daddy suddenly burst into tears, I've never seen Daddy cry, my body was violent
As soon as he was shocked, Daddy suddenly pulled out his waist knife and pointed at those Central Plains people, his voice was hoarse
Dark, he said: "These Central Plains people, children, you look at these Central Plains people,
It's their aunt who forced you to death. It was they who persecuted us Xiliang and asked me to hand you over
Mother, your mother was unwilling to be humiliated, and committed suicide in the palace. They...
They also broke into the palace to see your mother's corpse with their own eyes...
These are murderers! It's your mother's murderer..."
Father's voice echoed in the palace like a muttered curse,
It was as if I had been hit hard, and I took a step backwards, and my father cut through myself
His cheeks, his face was covered with blood, and he raised his knife and rushed towards the envoy of the Central Plains. He's very strong,
Just like a lion, those Central Plains people scattered in a hurry, only to hear a muffled sound
The head of the Central Plains envoy has been cut off by his father. Father swung his sword, panting heavily
angry, but the Central Plains soldiers around him approached again, and someone shouted: "King Xiliang, you."
Killing the envoys of the Central Plains without permission is to rebel! ”
Auntie! My mother! I came back after a lot of hard work, but I was never seen again
The aunt...
I trembled, pointed at those people and scolded: "What about Li Chengyin? Where is he
Village? Where is he hiding? ”
No one answered me, and someone from the crowd came out, looking at the outfit that seemed to be from the Central Plains
Checkmate. He looked at me and said, "Princess, King Xiliang is delirious and killed the Central Plains Envoy by mistake
After seeing His Highness, the minister will clarify the matter to him. I hope the princess is calm and serene, no
It's going to hurt the decency of both countries. ”
I recognized this general, who caught up with me and Adu on the grassland,
He took Adu's sword and took me to the camp of the Central Plains army. He must be very martial arts
Well, I'm certainly no match for him. Last time I was able to escape from the Central Plains camp, yes
Because of the master, this time the master is also gone, who else can save me?
I said, "I want to see Li Chengyin." ”
