Chapter XII

The Central Plains general said: "The king of Xiliang has promised to marry the princess to His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the two countries are harmonious. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also sincere, and personally came to the Western Regions to marry the princess.

The princess will see Her Highness one day, so why rush again? ”

I watched as those people rushed up, and Daddy slashed with a knife, but in the end

Subdued by them. There was such a big commotion in the palace, but not a single guard came to look at it

At a glance, it is obvious that this royal city, inside and out, has long been controlled by the Central Plains. Daddy was taken by those

The man fell to the ground and cursed to himself. My heart is like a pot of boiling oil, five internal organs

All six organs were tormented, and they wanted to rush forward, but those people put knives on Daddy's neck

In the son, if I make a move, maybe they will kill someone. These Central Plains people always talk about me

They are barbarians, but they kill people more cruelly and savagely than we do. I

Tears flowed, and the Central Plains general was still saying: "Princess, persuade the king, don't."

Let him hurt himself. "All my voices were choked in my throat, and someone was grabbing my arm

Arm, it's Adu, her fingers are cool, give me the last support, I look at her, she is black

Dark eyes also looked at me, and their eyes were full of anxiety. I know that as soon as I say a word,

She wouldn't hesitate to rush up and fight for me. But why bother? Why bother

Adu? The Turks have died, and Xiliang has fallen into the hands of the Central Plains again, and I said, "You don't

If you want to kill my father, I'll just go with you. ”

Daddy is really sane, since Auntie's death, it is said that he is like this

Son, sober for a while, confused for a while. When you are sober, you have to kill those Central Plains people,

When I was confused, it was as if nothing had happened. I'd rather he was forever mushy

If you smear it, A-Niang is dead, and your father's heart is dead. The brothers were all under house arrest by the Central Plains

When I got up, the women in the palace were panicked and very afraid, but I was still calm.

I haven't taken revenge yet, how can I die so easily?

I accepted the edict of the Central Plains and decided to marry Li Chengyin. The Central Plains has just been pacified

Turks, they urgently need to support new forces in the Western Regions, so as not to grow the Yue Clan. And the Turkic though

died, but the various departments of the Western Regions became even more chaotic, and the emperor of the Central Plains issued an edict to canonize my father as the king

Dingxi Khan, this is an extremely noble title. For this reason, the Yueshi were very unhappy with them

Defeating the Turks with the Central Plains Alliance, originally wanted to swallow a large territory of the Turks in one fell swoop, but

Xiliang is about to marry the Central Plains, and the countries of the Western Regions were originally led by the Turks, but now only Xiliang is the head of the horse.

I changed into a fiery red wedding dress sent by the Central Plains, and under the escort of the Central Plains army, I slowly went east

Yes.

It wasn't until I was at the foot of Tianqing Mountain that I saw Li Chengyin. Originally, in accordance with the medium

The original rule was that unmarried couples were not allowed to meet before marriage, but in fact, we had already been

I've already met, and now it's on the march, and everything is simple, so I'm asking for it again and again

After begging, Li Chengyin finally came to my tent. The servants have long since been retired, tent

There were just two of us in the tent.

I sat on the carpet and didn't speak for a long time. Until he's going to turn around and walk away, me

Only then did he say to him: "If you depend on me for one thing, I will marry you with all my heart." ”

He didn't turn around at all, just asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want you to catch a hundred fireflies for me."

His back stiffened, and he finally turned slowly to look at me. I even laughed at him

smiled: "Gu Xiaowu, are you willing to agree?" ”

His eyes were still as they were by the river that night, but there was no warmth, and all that was before was nothing

I already knew the illusion of illusion. And what about him? I've been making a show like this, too

I'm tired for a long time.

"It's winter, and there are no more fireflies." He finally spoke, his tone calm

As if nothing had ever happened, "The Central Plains is good, there are fireflies, there are beautiful little ones."

Birds, nice flowers, and delicate houses, you will love the Central Plains. ”

I stared at him, but he avoided my gaze.

I asked, "Have you ever really liked me?" Even a little bit of sincerity? ”

He didn't say anything more, but lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

The wind outside whipped up a thin layer of snowflakes and kept blowing in, and there was a fire in the tent

The pot, the dim flame was blown up by the snowy wind, shaken, and extinguished in an instant. Is

Cold, such a winter.

Adu and I fled in the middle of the night, and Li Chengyin personally led 3,000 light horsemen to chase after us

We fled into the mountains, but they kept in hot pursuit.

At dawn, Adu and I climbed a cliff.

When we were hiding in the mountains, we often encountered wolves. Ever since the white-eyed wolf king was shot

killed, the wolves had no owner, and the fight was very fierce. Every time you see a pack of wolves, they're always there

Biting each other, no longer provoking human beings at all, I think this is the Central Plains' method of dealing with the Western Regions

Child. They destroyed the Turks as if they had killed the wolf king, and then the remaining tribes fought each other

Seizures, killings, civil wars, no more tribes will be eyeing the Central Plains, just like those

Like wolves, they only care about killing their companions and competing for the position of the wolf king, so they will not be injured again

people.

The wind on the cliff made my dress hunt and hunt, and I stood on the edge of the cliff, and the frost and wind blew

I could barely open my eyes. If you jump, all these troubles will smoke

Vanishing.

Li Chengyin caught up, and I took a step back, and the general who led the troops in the Central Plains shouldered

My heart really jumped, and I heard him say loudly: "Your Highness, let the ministers go and persuade the princess."

bar. ”

Along the way, I also understood a little bit of the Central Plains dialect, and I also knew this Central Plains

The general's surname is Pei, and he is Li Chengyin's most trusted general. But now General Pei can't persuade him

Living in Li Chengyin, I saw Li Chengyin throw off the reins and dismount, and climbed straight towards the cliff.

I didn't stop him, and quietly watched him climb the cliff. The mountain wind is like a swallow, and the clouds and mist under the cliff

I don't know how deep it is. He stood on the edge of the cliff, because he had traveled too hastily,

He gasped slightly. I pointed to the cliff and asked, "Do you know what's down here?"

Is it? ”

Maybe the snow wind was too strong, his face looked very pale, and the wind rolled up the snow hail,

Blowing on the face, a dull pain. I wiped the snow off my face with my hands, and he didn't know it

The Tao had nothing to say to me, so he was silent. I told him, "That's forgetting."

River. ”

"The water of Lethe River lies in forgetfulness... There is such a legend in our Western Regions, too

You may have never heard of it: as long as you jump into the Lethe River, you will forget the oneness of the world

Cut the troubles, be reborn, and be a new person. It's amazing, but the gods have such power, the divine water can make people forget the pain, and the divine water can also make people forget the troubles, but from

No one can return alive from the Lethe, and the favor of the gods is sometimes crippled

Bear with me, you threaten me with my father and brother, I can't help but agree to marry you. "I even

smiled at him, "However, whether you want to live or die, it is up to me to decide. ”

He stared into my face, but said, "If you dare to act rashly, I will let it."

The whole Xiliang will accompany you to the funeral. ”

"Your Highness won't." I said peacefully that this was the first time I had called him Temple

Below, perhaps for the last time, "Your Highness has the great ambition to pacify the Western Regions and dominate the world,

Nothing can compare to His Highness's great cause. The Turks have just been settled, the Yue clan is strong, Your Highness

Xiliang is needed to contain the Yue clan, and Xiliang is also needed to show His Highness's mind to all countries. temple

The next to pacify the Turks, using thunderbolt means, His Royal Highness appeased Xiliang, but used the Bodhisattva heart

Intestines. With the respect of the prince of the Heavenly Dynasty, but he condescended to marry me, a barbarian girl from Xiliang, as a concubine,

All the countries of the Western Regions will be grateful to His Highness. I looked at him mockingly, "If Your Highness is in the West again."

Liang opened the killing ring, and it was not just a small Xiliang that was destroyed, but Your Highness's hard work

Everything that is operated. ”

When Li Chengyin heard me say this, his face changed slightly, and he finally couldn't help but walk forward

step, but I took a step back. My heels were already in the air, and the wind blew me from the cliffs

I almost tried to stand unsteadily, swaying as if I would fall down at any moment, and the wind blew my clothes to hunt

With a rattle, my sleeve was like a thin blade, constantly flapping against my arm. He didn't dare

When I came forward to persecute him again, I said to him, "I misjudged you at the beginning, and now the country is ruined

It is the gods who punish me for this tribulation. I said word by word, "Life and life,

I'll forget you forever! ”

Li Chengyin was shocked and grabbed me to catch me, but he only grabbed my sleeve

Child. I raised my left hand, and the sharp blade in my hand "snorted" and cut open the sleeve of my shirt, half of my body

The son was already in the air, and he was extremely fast, and he pulled out his belt and raised it like a long whip, rolling it alive

I, pull me in the air. That belt turned out to be the one I tied for him that day, marriage

The bride's belt was adorned with coral and jewels...

Together, I used to think that the earth was long, and I used to think that this was the person whom the gods had made me love...

's love and admiration, hoping that he will return safely, and that he can tie his belt around my waist

At that time, we will officially become husband and wife approved by the gods...

The short knife was swung up, cutting the belt, and the mountain wind was agitated, and the pearls and jades were like a chaotic chaos

The rain splashed... I finally saw the look on his face, and it was in great pain...

I only leaned back slightly, and my whole body had fallen. Countless people are screaming,

and General Pei of the Central Plains, his voice was even more shocked: "Your Highness..."

Everything on the cliff is gone in a flash, only the clear sky...

Holding the clouds, I kept falling from those clouds. My whole body was rolling, my

My face turned downward, the sky could no longer be seen, and the endless wind pierced me so much that I couldn't open my eyes.

Adu told me that this is Lethe River underneath, but what will Lethe look like? It's a pool

Turquoise water? Or can the abyss that can devour people forever...

, I think of A-Niang, maybe it's really good to go to see her like this. I've got it all figured out

Ash, only A-Niang loves me the most in this world...

Someone grabbed my hand, and the whirring wind passed by my ears, and the man took me,

We fell rapidly in the wind, and he held me and whirled in the wind

I tried to grasp the rocks on the mountain wall, but we fell too fast, and the chaos of rubble followed me

They fell together, like the stars in the sky raining down...

By the river, countless fireflies flew up from between our sleeves, like a brilliant shower of stars

Brighten my face and his face, only his eyes staring at me in heaven and earth...

It's just me...

I never dreamed that he would jump down and grab me, I always thought that he was from

I didn't have the slightest sincerity when he came.

He said, "Xiao Feng! The wind swept away the sound from his lips, so light that I could hardly hear it

Missing. I thought, I must have heard it wrong, or maybe it was all an illusion. He's absolute

won't jump off, because he is Li Chengyin, not my Gu Xiaowu, my Gu Xiao

Wu Zao was already dead, dying on the night of the decisive battle between the Turks and the Central Plains.

He said a sentence in Zhongyuan, which I didn't understand.

That was the last sentence in my memory, and maybe he followed me down like this,

Just to say to me, what the hell, I have no intention of knowing...

I felt relieved and ironed, knowing that in the last moments, I was not alone

The heavy body of the person smashed into the water, and the blue water surrounded it on all sides, like countless cold

The knife that cut open my skin. But I gave up my struggle and let myself sink in

The bottom of the water, like a baby returning to its mother's body, like a flower falling into the earth, is the most calming

I already know where I want to be.
