Chapter 144: The Pact of Death

Before they knew it, Peng Wuwang and Princess Splendid had already spent seven days in the Nameless Valley. In the past seven days, Peng's hopeless injuries healed day by day. And Princess Splendid also roughly explored the area in the Nameless Valley, but did not find an exit. And from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want any outlets. Seeing her come back with the game she had brought along the way, Peng Wuwang, who was lighting a fire in front of the cave, had a worried look on her face.

"Did you find an exit?" Peng Wuwang lowered his head and desperately added firewood to the fire.

"No, this place is surrounded by mountains, and the only exit is sealed by the rocks that fell during the landslide, and it is difficult for apes to cross. It's completely isolated from the rest of the world." There was a hint of relief in Princess Fairlight's tone.

"That's right." Peng Wuwang lowered his head and whispered.

"What did you say?" Princess Splendid was taken aback and asked in a low voice.

"I said," Peng Wuhope's face turned red, and his voice was as low as a mosquito's chirping, "Okay."

"You're crazy, you're crazy, crazy, trapped in an isolated place, and you're okay." Princess Splendid said loudly.

"What about going out?" Peng Wuwang looked at her with a sad look in his eyes.

Princess Splendid fell in her heart, her face became pale and bloodless, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Are you still thinking about the outside world?" Peng Wuwang lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes.

Princess Splendid sighed softly, sat down beside him, and whispered while helping him add firewood to the fire, "My people outside the Saiwai are really bitter. Over the years, there have been endless natural disasters outside the Saiwai, countless deaths and injuries of cattle and sheep, and the strength of our tribe is weakening day by day, but your Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, if you don't attack the Tang Dynasty in the south when our Turkic morale is not lost, and destroy your Han people's rivers and mountains, then one day, you will rule the entire steppe, and the Turks will also be wiped out, just like the Xiongnu and Rouran."

"Why do you always want to destroy our Han people and kill our Han people?" Peng Wuwang angrily threw the firewood to his side, "Why can't we live in peace?"

"Will you make peace with us?" Princess Jinxiu's eyes widened, and her face was angry, "From ancient times to the present, didn't the Hu and Han people fight each other at that time? We have killed as many Han Chinese as you have killed as many Han Chinese."

"It's you who always want to go south, and you always want to occupy the Huahua world in the Central Plains." Peng Wuwang said angrily, "We Han people have never been ......."

"That's what you Han people write in the history books, haven't you ever slaughtered the Hu people on the prairie?" Princess Jinxiu was also angry, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Xiongnu in the north, do you know how many Xiongnu people died? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goryeo, and every time he crossed the northeast grassland, he had to massacre the people of Saiwaihu in China, and used his head as a military achievement. You Han people don't have the blood of the Hu people in your hands."

"That's all in the past, Emperor Yang of Sui has been dead for almost ten years, and the current Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from Emperor Yang of Sui." Peng Wuwang was especially unconvinced, "He has already announced the world, and he is willing to love both the Hu Han family. It is you Turks who are unwilling to give up their position as the overlord of the steppe."

"Those are all official articles," Princess Jinxiu said coldly, "The reason why the Guannei Hu people are treated favorably by the Tang Dynasty is precisely because we, the Saiwai Hu people, are still strong and still want to resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty. If one day, even our Turkic Khan's court will be pacified by the Tang Dynasty, and those Hu people in the Guannai will not even be as good as dogs under you Han people."

Peng Wuwang was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "Who would have predicted what would happen in the future? We, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have always made promises and kept our promises, and since we have said the Hu Han family, we will never treat you Hu people badly."

"Hmph, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how can I predict it. Even if he kept his promises, what about his son? What about his grandson? Can you guarantee that they won't backtrack? Even if they keep their promises, they will not go back. Then we Hu people can only survive under the mercy of your Han people. Do you think my people will be willing? Do you think that Turkic men like Ke Zhan and Bashan He can endure such grievances for their own people? Do you think I'm going to let my people kneel at the feet of the Han and beg for mercy?" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she involuntarily stood up, waving the firewood in her hand as she spoke, as if she was preaching loudly to hundreds of Turkic warriors.

Peng Wuwang sat on the ground, staring blankly at Princess Jinxiu's slightly flushed pretty face, speechless.

"You speak, what's wrong with me doing this?" Princess Splendid still doesn't let him go.

"I don't know what's wrong with you." Peng Wuwang shook his head vigorously, thought for a long time, and finally said as if he had made up his mind, "But if you lead the Turks to attack the Han people, I will go to you, kill you, and then die with you."

Princess Splendid was stunned by this sentence and could barely speak.

"We Han people want to live a good life just like you Hu people, if we are destined to fight, of course I would rather Han people win. Because if we win, we can be kind to you, and if we lose, we will be doomed." Peng looked at Princess Splendid with hopeless pity, "At that time, I will die with you."

The fiery lightning in Princess Fairfair's eyes dissipated like ice and snow, replaced by a gentle and watery affection. She said in a hoarse voice, "Are you willing to kill me?"

Peng Wuwang sighed and looked at her stupidly: "Of course I can't bear it, but when the time comes, you will only be more painful to live than to die. Because you're the kind of person. I think you'll feel better if you die at my hands."

"I'm the same with you." Princess Jinxiu held Peng Wuhope's hand tightly and looked at him affectionately, "We are actually a kind of human being, but unfortunately we were born on both sides of the Yellow River separately and could not live together."

The two of them embraced each other quietly by the gurgling stream, enjoying a rare piece of peace and tranquility at this moment. The clouds on the horizon slipped away in the evening breeze, revealing a bright moon in the east. In the moonlight, resident birds from all directions vied towards the dead branch mat that rescued the two from falling off a cliff, where countless male monkeys were performing dazzling acrobatic performances to attract the attention of the female monkeys in the surrounding trees. The screams and cheers of the monkeys were endless.

"Look at them, how good it is to live carefree." Peng Wuwang said with a smile to the splendid princess in his arms.

"No wonder you're so happy to hear the news that there's no exit." Princess Splendid wrinkled her nose playfully, "So you want to be a male monkey here."

"Don't you want to be a monkey with me here?" Peng Wuwang asked cautiously.

"Yes." Princess Splendid stood for a long time before finally telling the truth, but her blushing face was so clear that she could see it even in the faint moonlight, and she shyly burrowed her face into Peng Wuwang's warm arms.

"You, like me, want to escape from the outside world. I thought it was just wishful thinking." Peng Wuwang laughed.

"You're a fool and don't know anything." Princess Splendid raised her head and said playfully.

Peng Wuwang laughed happily, he suddenly took a breath, and plucked up the courage to say, "Then, it's better for us to live here for the rest of our lives, stop thinking about the grievances and grievances outside, and be immortals who don't ask about the world for the rest of our lives."

Princess Jinxiu's face showed a look of yearning, she looked at Peng Wuwang and said, "Are you willing to let go of your family and brothers outside?"

Peng Wuwang smiled bitterly and said, "What if you can't bear it. My parents died, and I had my uncle, aunt, four brothers, and my three sworn siblings. They must be very sad if I disappear. However, life will go on after the sadness. And I, without you, there is only a dead end."

Princess Jinxiu's heart was hot, she hugged Peng Wuwang's neck tightly, and said, "Anyway, I can't get out, what does everything outside have to do with me, I will accompany you to be a monkey for the rest of your life."

Peng Wuwang was overjoyed, suddenly stood up and hugged Princess Jinxiu tightly in the air, spun around several times in the air, and roared loudly, "I'm so happy, so happy!"

"Haha! Put me down! Crazy!" Princess Splendid couldn't help but laugh and scream.

Peng Wuwang carefully lowered her to the ground and said excitedly, "Great, I'm so happy. This is the home of my Peng Wuwang and Ah Jin. I, Peng, have no hope of finally starting a family."

"Fool!" Princess Splendid smiled and bent over.

"I now declare that this Nameless Valley is my home and that of Ah Jin, and everything here is mine." Peng Wuwang shouted excitedly at the group of monkeys on the mat of dead branches. The shout elicited an astonishing response from the monkeys.

"Hopeless, you're terrifying them!" Princess Splendid covered her mouth with her hands and said with a smile.

"What is this, and they will receive it in the future." Peng Wuwang said with great ambition, "I want to open up the wasteland here and farm, and I also want to catch some chickens and ducks to raise, preferably a pair of pigs, so that we will not have to worry about not being able to eat pork for the rest of our lives." I will take a hundred monkeys and train them to be our servants. I will build a big house by the brook, with vegetables in front of and behind the house, and chickens and ducks, and a pigsty, and seven or eight pigs."

"It was a couple just now, and now there are seven or eight pigs?" Princess Splendid quipped.

"I'm going to make a dresser for you, and I'll make it out of the peach trees here. Then I'm going to find mountain flowers to make your rouge gouache. I want you to be the most beautiful bride in the world." Peng Wuwang said excitedly.

"Hopeless!" Princess Splendid looked at him infatuatedly, deeply intoxicated by the beautiful picture that Peng Wuwang depicted.

"We'll visit tomorrow, shall we?" Peng Wuwang excitedly took her hand, "In our Han way."

Princess Splendid blushed, but nodded vigorously.

"Great! Tomorrow, I'll find a few of the best grass stalks to make our incense sticks, and our parents are not there. Then worship the heavens as the father, the earth as the mother, and the sun and the moon as the medium. Then we will worship husband and wife, and then let all the creatures of this valley be our guests." Peng Wuwang held Princess Jinxiu's hand tightly and said like a river.

"Worship the sky as the father, worship the earth as the mother, the sun and the moon as the matchmaker, from now on, I am the wife of Peng Wuwang Sansheng III, and it is the vicissitudes of life, and this situation will never change." After Princess Splendid said these words affectionately, she gently fell into Peng Wuwang's arms again.
