By the time Xie Weining and Yin Quan returned to the guest house room unconsciously, Yin Quan was already so frightened that his clothes were soaked. He couldn't help it, and complained about his unreliable master: "Master, don't do this kind of thing next time, I haven't lived enough villain." You said that this is the first day of coming to Yonghua City, and you are so bold. Don't forget, now that Bai Qingyun also lives in the Hou Mansion, if he is caught, we are afraid that we will not even be able to go back to Great Xia. ”

Xie Weining still had a smile on his face, and lightly slapped Yin Quan's head: "Look at you, didn't we come back smoothly?" I just don't go out in the future. Then again, you say, what if I ask Emperor Dayong to marry that ugly girl? ”

Yin Quan's frightened hands trembled: "Oh, my master, don't think about it." Yes, with the current strength of the Xia Kingdom, if you ask for peace, it is impossible for Emperor Wei to disagree. But if you look at the person you picked, not to mention that she is about to become the princess of Xiling next month, she will be the only daughter of the Marquis of Yuanyuan, and Emperor Wei can't respond. Otherwise, wouldn't he have given all the white jade passes to our Xia Kingdom? The people of the Yuwen family, although they are not smart, are probably not so stupid. ”

Xie Weining himself knew that he was deflated, and the corners of his eyes drooped: "That's what I said." ”

Yin Quan persuaded him again: "Master, after so many years, why do you still think about her?" Is she that good? The emperor has urged you several times, even if you don't get married, it's good to find a few concubines to serve you. ”

Xie Weining shook his head: "I don't know either." You say she's an ugly girl, and she has a lot of ghost eyes. But somehow, I don't find any other woman cute except her. But don't worry, this is the last time I'm crazy about her. ”

Yin Quan knew that this kind of thing was persuaded in vain, anyway, Xie Weining would not marry Bai Yiyan, he didn't need to worry about it.

This night, Xie Weining couldn't sleep over and over, he remembered the scene when he met that ugly girl when he was nine years old.

In the autumn of that year, he insisted on running to Pingning City, wanting to see what the battle with Dayong was like, but he didn't expect to be plotted by the eldest prince. As the eldest son, the eldest prince has always thought that he should be the crown prince, and his father's delay in appointing the crown prince made him completely hate Xie Weining. While he was in Pingning City, he bought Cheng Yin and wanted his life. Fortunately, he noticed it early and barely escaped alone. It's a pity that he didn't have time to find Yin Quan, who was meeting with the guards of Pingning City, so he could only leave clues and let him find a way to save himself.

He was chased by the killer of the Great Prince, and fled to a deep mountain and old forest where he didn't know where it was. At that time, he was wounded, exhausted, and his blue clothes were covered with blood. When he saw that the killer was about to search his hiding place, he thought that he would die quietly in the woods.

It was the ugly girl who covered his mouth from behind, covered the two of them with his own cloak, and relied on the leaves embroidered on the ugly girl's golden cloak to confuse the killer in the autumn leafy woods, so that he could escape. To this day, he remembers the first words she said to him: "Don't make a sound, I'll save you." ”

When the two were no longer in danger, in the sunset, he looked at the little girl who had saved him for the first time. She was underweight, her close-fitting red hunting suit was a little dirty, her small hands were tender, and her eyes were bent into the shape of a crescent moon when she smiled. She said to him directly: "That one is from Xia just now, I recognize their clothes." If I hadn't intervened in time, you would have been discovered. I saved you. ”

He asked her where it was and why she was there. She spread her hands and replied to him in a childish voice: "This is the place where Dayong and Xia Kingdom meet, but I don't know where it is, I originally rode out to play alone, but I accidentally rolled down the hillside where my brother often took me, the hillside is too high, I can't climb up, and I want to find another way back." Lost his way, he walked alone to this forest. ”

He asked her what her name was, she turned her bright eyes slyly, and let him say it first, he guessed that she was Dayong's person through her previous words, and he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he lied to her and said that her name was Ning Wei, and she was separated from her family and somehow got to this forest. She looked at his wounds and refused to believe him. He had to lie to her again and say that he had encountered bandits on the way, and he tried very hard to escape.

She kindly took out the wound medicine and cloth strips from her body to bandage him. He looked at her technique in amazement, he didn't expect that she would not only have a strip of wound medicine on her body, but also a decent bandage. He asked her, is her home the family of Xinglin? She said she learned it in the military.

He asked her name again, and she said that her name was Ah Yan, and she lived with her parents and brother in Baiyuguan.

By the time she bandaged him, it was already getting dark. The two of them reluctantly found a flat boulder, picked up some dead branches and leaves, and tried to light a fire to keep warm. He carries a fire breaker on him, but he doesn't light a bonfire. Or she tossed for a long time, and rubbed a cloud of ash on her erect little nose before she lit the fire.

He laughed at her for getting her nose dusty and ugly. She reached out to wipe it, but her face was all over the place, and it was even uglier. His stomach hurt when he laughed.

She spread her cloak on a boulder, and the two of them sat together to keep warm. She reassured him that her brother would find her and that they would be saved. He laughed at her for being too confident, and she insisted that her brother was the smartest, and that he loved her, and that he would definitely find them.

She took out the last half of the snack she was carrying and gave it to him, and the two people in distress chatted like friends. When he found out that she was also nine years old this year but a few months younger than himself, he forced her to call her brother. She didn't comply, saying that she could only call her brother brother. So he coaxed her and asked her to call her Brother Ning, saying that this would not be a violation of her rules, but she didn't refuse, and really called him Brother Ning, which made his heart sweet.

He made fun of her and said that she was ugly and ugly, so he called her ugly. She was angry and wanted to put ash on his face, and he said to her proudly that even if he painted his face with ash, it would be better than hers. She was self-aware, so she was deflated first, pouting and sitting on the side. He coaxed her for a long time, but she was still fierce to him.

She noticed the discoloration of his right eye by the light of the fire, and said in surprise that his two eyes were not the same color. He was a little angry, and many people in the palace turned his back on him and said that he was a demon and a scourge of the Xia Kingdom. It's because of his eyes that no one wants to look directly into his eyes. Now she even said the same.

She stared into his eyes, saying that his amber eyes were very beautiful, and asked him how he did it. He was nervous and said it was born. She praised him as a blessed man, which is why God gave him such unique eyes. In addition to his father and mother, she was the first person to say this to him. He looked into her sincere eyes, and his heart was moved.

In the forest in late autumn, there was only a small light in the darkness, and two people were lying on their cloaks cold, hungry and tired. He couldn't sleep, but she couldn't sleep, and soon fell asleep. He looked at her sleeping side face, and was truly grateful to the heavens for letting her appear before his eyes.

She slept with dishonest hands and feet. It was probably because the night was extremely cold, and she brought her little body to his side, like an octopus, trying to get a little warmth from him. He is also cold, but he always sleeps alone in the palace, but he doesn't like others to hold him like this. He tried to push her hands and feet away, but she always rubbed at the warm place after a while. He helplessly let her hold him, her beautiful and smooth long hair swept on his face, making his skin itch, and even his heart itched.

He even secretly thought that if Yin Quan came over first, then he would catch her and let her accompany him in the lonely palace. He was in a state of thought, and closed his eyes. I didn't expect to fall asleep for the first time with someone around.

In the early morning of the second day, he woke up first, and then pushed her awake. He said she slept so badly that he couldn't sleep all night. She blushed and refused to admit it.

The bonfire had long been extinguished, and the two men searched for a while before they found a stream and quenched their thirst. When she washed her dirty little face and faced the morning sun, he felt that she was really beautiful, different from the beauty of other princesses and maids in the palace, but a loveliness that exuded vitality, as if it illuminated the whole forest and made him stay there. But he refused to admit that he had looked away, and still called her ugly, and she was as fierce to him as she was last night.

When the two of them wandered aimlessly around in the forest, they finally heard Yin Quan's shouts. She looked at the shiny light of the armor of the Xia soldiers in the distance, and pulled him in a panic to run. But he refused to go, she was in a hurry, and dragged his hand desperately. He couldn't help it, so he bit her right wrist and let her go. Anxious and angry, she asked him if he had gone mad. He could only tell the truth that these people were here to save him.

Her eyes widened in surprise, knowing that he was from the Xia Kingdom. She said that she would settle accounts with him later, and turned around and fled. This time, he stretched out his left hand and pulled her, not allowing her to go, he wanted to take her back to Xia Kingdom.

She didn't hesitate to take a bite of his left hand, and he refused to let go even though he endured the pain. He also freed up another hand to wrap his arms around her body with great effort.

Her brother and the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom appeared in front of the two of them almost at the same time. That was the first time he had seen Bai Qingyun. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was fearless in the face of the Xia soldiers who surrounded them, and the arrow in his hand was aimed at him. Bai Qingyun said calmly, if he counted three times, he didn't let go of his sister, and he would shoot an arrow through his head.

She had already relented, and shouted to her brother, but he hesitated for a moment before letting go of her. Like a frightened little beast, she quickly jumped back to Bai Qingyun's side. Bai Qingyun protected her behind him, and confronted him with a bow like that, completely ignoring the layers of Xia Kingdom soldiers around him.

In the end, he saw her fawn-like frightened eyes, softened his heart, and ordered Yin Quan and them to withdraw and let them go.

Looking back now, this is probably the one thing he regretted the most in his life. He let her go, but never had the chance to meet again. And he released Bai Qingyun, who was unknown at the time, but he didn't expect what a powerful enemy he would bring to Great Xia later.

He slowly rubbed the bite marks on her left hand on his left hand, thinking about what she looked like now. She's really not ugly, never has ever been ugly. After so many years and seeing so many women, only she has left traces on his heart, which he will always remember in the dead of night. That's why he couldn't help but grind his father, begged this friendly envoy, and arrived in Dayong the day before she and Lu, just to be able to look at her again before she got married, and spend a night that belonged to the two of them again. From now on, they will be passers-by.

It's a pity that time is difficult to turn back, and he can't easily take her to Xia Guo easily. But Bai Qingyun, one day, he will find a way to let him die in his own hands and use his blood to pay tribute to the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
