Chapter Twenty-Nine: Baeksun and Princess Keru
Bai Shan's heart actually knew very well that he had no safety at all in front of Prince Anxi, not to mention that this person was bent on taking himself to ask for merit and rewards, and he felt that he was really a little unworthy.
An Rong didn't think about it so much, but instead brought back the people around him, and asked them to take Bai Shan with him to blackmail King Kesang.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that King Kesang would not be fooled at all, but Princess Keru might not be able to do it, after all, she liked Bai Shan so much, and she would definitely not let him be in danger.
The more he thought about it, the happier he felt, and the more he imagined the embarrassed look on King Kessang's face, the more he felt that this time his idea was really good.
Bai Shan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to remind him: "An Rong, don't be delusional, King Kesang has already asked me to leave the grassland, even if I go back, he won't let his daughter be with me, if you do this, people can't wait for me to fall into your hands, do you think people will do such a thing?" ”
What he said was the truth, King Kesang didn't like him, this is also a fact, there is nothing to avoid, but he said it so bluntly, he felt that he was really open.
After An Rong heard this, those original excitement were instantly replaced by silence, maybe what this person said was right, but could he really listen?
After a long while, he said with a calm face: "I have always heard that the Central Plains people are cunning and changeable, thinking that this is just everyone's words, but I didn't expect what you just said to completely change my opinion, it's really amazing!" ”
Bai Shan knew that he was sarcastic about himself, and he didn't deny it, he just spread his hands and looked at these people around him helplessly, "Say that we are cunning and changeable, but are you really so upright prince?" ”
After a pause, he continued: "The world says that the darkest place is the palace, but isn't the royal court of your grassland full of darkness and injustice? Prince, you now insist on forming an alliance with King Kesang of Dounan, just to ask to marry their princess, isn't it just to fight for power and profit? ”
When Bai Shan said these words, he was not afraid at all.
He also figured out just now, this person has been driven out by King Kesan, so why do he have to go back?
In front of him, this is not an ordinary person, but a prince, who may have to compete for the throne in the future, in front of the throne, he absolutely does not believe that this person will really like Princess Keru, it is nothing more than a use.
An Rong didn't expect him to say his thoughts so bluntly, he was a little annoyed in his heart for a while, and threatened him with a short voice, "You really don't know what to do, you don't need to ask what this prince wants to do, say such straightforward words, you just want to stimulate this prince, do you really think that this prince doesn't know?" ”
As he spoke, the short knife was only half a finger's distance from the meridians on his neck, which was very dangerous.
But he didn't care at all, but looked directly at the person in front of him and said: "The prince is really mighty, you just saw that you said what was in your heart, otherwise how could you be so angry?" However, although I am not a big person, I am not a weak and useless person, and I don't mind having a jade burn with Wang Zining. ”
He was actually a little afraid in his heart, after all, this An Rong was not a good person, and it was far easier to let this person return to Anxi than to stay in this Dounan Prairie.
After thinking of this, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Princess Keru, there is no fate in this life, we will meet again in the next life!" ”
As soon as he said this, he planned to bite his tongue and kill himself.
Seeing this, An Rong was suddenly so frightened that he threw the short knife on the ground, choking his throat in time, making him unable to kill himself.
However, Anrong's subordinates all felt that this matter was really a bit excessive, and their minds were all turning back and forth, and they were exquisitely clear.
"Bai Shan, don't think about committing suicide, in front of this prince, don't think about controlling your own life and death."
This was said with a somewhat vicious look, and Bai Shan felt that he had been humiliated, so he spat at him fiercely, and then turned his face away.
He didn't feel anything, but he wouldn't let this man go anyway.
Bai Shan couldn't, so he struggled and said: "All the heroes and heroes are all subordinates of this prince, and there is no need to ask about it, but if you think about it, he has been driven out by King Kesan, and the alliance and harmony have not been completed, even if you people follow him back, it will definitely be the fate of punishment, so why do you have to die for him?" ”
When those people heard this, their minds were a little lively.
Among them, there was a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, his eyes were bright, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke: "What the prince said is reasonable, brothers, do we really want to continue to follow the prince and return to Anxi to be scolded?" ”
Another person also chimed in: "Yes, the prince has not thought about us people at all, he wants to fight for his throne, but he has to use us people as cannon fodder, we are just his victims, it is really not worth it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone came out to refute, "An Zhu, what you said is not right, we are all subordinates of the prince, do you want to betray the master?" ”
……
With the quarrel of these people, An Rong felt unusually angry, and usually showed loyalty by his side, but now that he is in trouble, he can't avoid them one by one, and he is quarreled with after being provoked by others.
He felt more and more annoyed, and said to Bai Shan: "Bai Gongzi is really a good means, you are just using your mouth, so that the people around me want to betray the master, it's really admirable!" ”
Bai Shan didn't want to pay attention to him, he didn't speak at all, he just closed his eyes, out of sight is pure, these people have nothing to do with him, he just woke them up.
In Bai Shan's eyes, all things in this world are born equal, and every life should be treated well, these people are not slaves and subordinates in his eyes, but irrelevant strangers, strangers who are treated unfairly......
Thinking of this, he didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart, but felt more and more that what he did was right.
Those people thought for a long time, then they still understood the meaning of what he said before, everyone looked at him, and several people rushed up and turned against him.
They all glared at An Rong, pushed him to the ground, and even took a few punches, looking a little miserable on their faces.
Bai Shan was also let go by everyone, these people were grateful to him for waking him up, and they were polite on their faces, but when facing An Rong, everyone's expressions were a little indescribable.
The man named An Zhu bowed to Bai Shan, "Thank you Gongzi for waking us up, even if we follow the prince back, it will naturally not end well, this time we will all go our separate ways, thank you Childe in advance!" ”
Bai Shan also bowed to everyone and thanked them for letting him go.
However, An Rong's posture is not as arrogant as before.
I saw him get up from the ground very embarrassed, brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, and said through gritted teeth: "I remember you people, in the future, there will be you good-looking!" ”
As soon as he had said this, he quickly mounted his horse and disappeared into the fog, and all the people watched, but no one took pity on him.
A prince, no matter how down, lives more comfortably and comfortably than them after all, what is there to be pitied?
Bai Shan looked at everyone and said impassionedly: "Brothers, thank you for the rescue, if you have a place to get in the future, you will definitely help in the next place!" ”
When those people saw him so polite, their minds suddenly came alive again.
Fortunately, everyone is just an orphan, and since they were young, they have been trained as guards to serve the Anxi royal family, and they are used as cattle and horses for these people.
An Zhu looked at Bai Shan, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Bai Gongzi rescued us all, now we have nowhere to go, so let's follow Bai Gongzi to make a living, I hope Bai Gongzi can take it in!" ”
Bai Shan originally took such a risk in order to let them be free, so he naturally refused to accept them at present.
So, he had to say with an embarrassed tone: "It's not that I don't want to take you in, it's really down, I've always only liked to be alone, and now I have a favorite person who naturally doesn't want others to watch, and I don't like to disturb, so I really can't agree to this take-in." ”
After An Zhu heard this, his heart was a little moved, he suddenly thought of his family, but after all, he became an orphan and could no longer enjoy the happiness and health of his family.
So, these people had to go their separate ways, and they all went to find their own lives, but An Zhu didn't have the open-mindedness of these people, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.
Bai Shan saw that he was reluctant to leave, so he had to ask suspiciously, "Anzhu, why don't you leave?" Is there something difficult about it? ”
An Zhu shook his head and said a little helplessly: "Bai Gongzi, there is really something to say in Xia, in fact, this alliance is a trap, but fortunately, the prince showed his feet in time, otherwise, the Dounan Prairie would be really in danger." ”
"You talk well, what the hell is going on?"
"Actually, I am a spy by King Anxi's side, he asked me to monitor the prince's every move, and kill the prince and King Kesang if necessary, so that the eldest prince will inherit the throne in name only."
Bai Shan never thought that all this turned out to be a big trap, the alliance was fake, the harmony was also fake, everything was just the struggle of the Anxi royal family, Princess Keru and King Kesang were just innocently involved.
After thinking of this, he said directly to An Zhu: "What else do you know?" Tell me all these things. ”
An Zhu shook his head and looked at him with some pity: "No, the spy didn't complete the task, and he should have been punished, but the son is kind-hearted, so I said so much." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, An Zhu directly bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Bai Shan looked at the corpse on the ground, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
An Zhu is different from others, everyone else is An Rong's subordinates, but he is an agent of King Anxi, and it is a big crime to betray his master, but now that he is dead, it is also embarrassing.
He understood An Zhu's thoughts, although An Rong's matter had been successfully resolved, but he didn't know if King Kesang would be able to tolerate him, although Princess Keru didn't have to make peace with Prince Anxi, but he couldn't take it lightly, after all, an An Rong would make people anxious, and it wasn't how many princes would compete to make peace with Princess Keru in the future.
As long as he thought of this, he felt extremely sad.
Just when he was decadent, Yun Lian came to this outskirt at the right time, and he looked at Bai Shan for some reason, thinking in his heart.
"Why are you alone here in a daze? Tell me anything! Yun Lian looked at him and said.
Bai Shan hesitated for a while before standing up again, patted him on the shoulder, and walked forward alone, "It's nothing, Prince Anxi has already left, it's just that I'm worried that King Kesang won't accept me." ”
Yun Lian didn't expect that what he was thinking about was actually this matter, he couldn't help but smile at him, took out a flax cake from his pocket and took a bite, and said, "Look at this cake, it was originally intact, but I ate it, but it filled my stomach, isn't there nothing to do?" Don't think about it so much. ”
These words were originally comforting to him, but his mind still did not relax, but became more and more uncertain.
Yun Lian saw that he was so anxious, and couldn't help but lean into his ear and said, "Really, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe there will really be a turnaround at that time?" And I'll do my best to help you, really don't worry. ”
In fact, he understands these truths, but in the face of such a thing, he can't be calm at all, not to mention that it is the father of the favorite person in his heart, even if it is blame and resentment, there is no way to talk about it.
In this way, the two of them rode back to the Dounan grassland together, but Bai Shan was allowed to leave the grassland by King Kesang after all, so if he turned around and went back again, it would naturally cause others to be dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Yun Lian had already thought of this, he prepared a set of small clothes for Bai Shan to change into in advance, and then deliberately made the hair messy and combed it into the rough hairstyle of a grassland man.
Bai Shan frowned and looked at him, "Is it really okay for you to be like this?" King Kelsan won't let me appear on the grassland, but he won't even let me see the princess! ”
Yunlian has always known that you can't look ahead and backward when doing things, so there is nothing to worry about, "Why can't this be?" You just said that you asked to marry a princess, how many people in the world are happy? If you are sincere, you will not be afraid of other people's difficulties, and emotional matters will never allow a third party to interfere. ”
Bai Shan felt that this was really reasonable, so he had to continue to move forward without saying a word, looking forward to his meeting with Princess Keru, and also looking forward to King Kesang being able to truly accept him.
In just a moment, the two of them had already returned to the Dounan Prairie, and as soon as Bai Shan came to the door of the tent, he happened to collide with King Kesang.
King Kesang was feeling angry at this time, and when he saw him, he directly became angry and said, "Where did the servant come from, and he dared to rush against this king? ”
Bai Shan lowered his head and didn't speak, his mood was a little depressed, he felt that he was really at the wrong time at this time, but if he wanted to leave, he had no choice.
So, he had to look at the grass without saying a word, and he was in a terrible mood.
"Why don't you speak? Lift up your head and show the king! ”
King Kelsan thought that this was a woman who deliberately pretended to be like this, and because she had collided with herself, she lowered her head shyly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Shan finally raised his head and met his gaze.
"You, you, Baekseon, shouldn't you leave? Why are you still here? Still dressed up like this? King Kelsan was speechless for a moment.
Seeing him so surprised, Bai Shan couldn't help but kneel on the ground very reverently, and said in a solemn tone: "King, Bai Shan wants to ask to marry Princess Keru, and ask the king to fulfill it!" ”
Yun Lian was reporting the situation to Princess Keru at this time, and he felt that these two parties were too embarrassed, so he naturally tried his best to help.
Keru knew that he had a good heart, so he helped him on the couch and said softly: "Yun Gongzi, Keru knows that Gongzi has a good heart, but when Bai Shan sees his father, will the two of them quarrel?" ”
Yun Lian saw that she was a little uncertain like Bai Shan, so he chuckled and said, "The princess and Bai Gongzi are really a natural pair, and even the anxious appearance is a little similar!" ”
"You don't have to tease me, and you don't need any comfort, I just think life is too difficult, and people who love each other can't stay together, and it doesn't mean anything at all." Keru calmly said these words that could stir up the storm.
Yun Lian heard that something was wrong, and asked directly, "Princess, what do you mean by this?" Why don't I understand? ”
She smiled, "Literally." ”
There were only six short words, but Yun Lian was a little frightened when he heard it.
He looked at the extremely sad woman in front of him, although she was a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, she couldn't do what she wanted, even if she personally selected someone she liked, she couldn't get what she wanted.
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered, and it began to rain heavily.
Just now, the sun was shining and the sky was clear, but now it was raining continuously, and even the mood of the two people was somewhat affected.
Without waiting for Yun Lian to react, Princess Keru suddenly came to the door of the king's tent, she knelt down in the rain and said hysterically: "Father, the daughter just wants to stay with Bai Shangongzi, if she can't get what she wants, the daughter is willing to die in exchange for the fulfillment of her father and Bai Shan's safety!" ”
What she said was neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't seem to be afraid at all, but her heart had already become cold, and the whole person was like a walking corpse.
Baekshin knelt in the tent, and she knelt outside the tent.
It took a long time for Yun Lian and Si Luo to react, but it was too late.
Two men, one with an oil-paper umbrella and the other with warm clothes, came to the king's tent.
King Kelsan thought his daughter was joking, so he didn't take it seriously and didn't stop it.
However, Keru was serious.
I saw that she was kneeling on the ground and knocking her head hard, the voice was very loud, tears flowed from her eyes, mixed with the rain, and blood came out of her head, which looked very distressing.
Yun Lian happened to see her, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that his vision in front of him had become blurred, and Princess Keru's face had become unclear.
Si Luo looked at Keru like this, she was very shocked, she had always heard that the princess's sweetheart was a Central Plains person, but she didn't expect the princess to be so affectionate.
She was a little moved for a while, and quickly knelt on the ground and put the warm clothes on her, and cried and said, "Princess, don't you look like this, let's go to the tent to plead with the king, don't cry in the rain like this, don't, don't." ”
Keru ignored her and continued to knock desperately, and the whole person was a little out of shape.
Yun Lian didn't know that if Princess Keru didn't die at this time, he wouldn't be able to return to the future, but the current situation was really a little bad, he felt that his life characteristics were slowly disappearing, and his body seemed to be becoming a little transparent.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Princess Keru had already fainted on the ground, her whole body was very cold, but her forehead was unusually hot.
Yun Lian didn't know why, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and tried to stand up straight, but he fell to the ground all of a sudden, unconscious.
As soon as Si Luo saw that the two people in front of her had fainted, she cried and screamed in fright, she shook Keru's body very hard, and whimpered while shaking, "Princess, princess fainted, king, princess fainted!" Fainted! ”
The terrible shouting outside still shocked Bai Shan's heart after all, and he saw that he didn't want to get up from the ground, and came directly to the outside of the tent.
Outside, there was a miserable scene, all the onlookers were frightened and cried, and the princess and Yunlian Gongzi fainted on the ground, their faces looked very pale, and the rain mixed with blood, which was really shocking.
Bai Shan didn't have time to think at all, so he directly took Princess Keru into his arms, hugged her, and felt her temperature with his forehead.
King Kesang's heart softened, he was suddenly very afraid of losing this lovely daughter, it was wrong to insist before, if Xiao Ru'er really liked Bai Shan so much, why did he have to be so aggressive?
After thinking of this, he directly called the most prestigious doctor on the grassland and asked Bai Shan to bring Keru to the tent for diagnosis and treatment.
And Yunlian Gongzi was also helped into the tent by Miss Siluo, and was treated with the princess.
The queen had been in her tent all the time, and she didn't come out at all, but when she saw that it was so noisy outside, she found a few people and asked about the situation.
She was so worried about her daughter that she ran over without even thinking about it.
Keru had already been helped onto the soft couch, and his face had been wiped clean, but his face was still pale, and the whole person looked without any complexion, and the doctor and those subordinates were busy in a hurry.
When she saw the situation in this tent, she was dumbfounded, "What's the matter?" King, what's wrong with Ru'er? How could she be lying here? ”
King Kesang really couldn't bear to feel that his wife was too sad, so he had to look at her lightly and said, "It's nothing, Ru'er is fine, she's just tired, don't worry." ”
Listening to her husband say such words, although she knew that it was comforting, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
So, she quietly called Miss Siluo out while she was unprepared, ready to inquire about what had happened.
