Just when Tu Qitang and the others couldn't bear it, Feng Yan and Yao Hulu brought the good news that everyone was looking forward to from Dahan, and Dahan supported the decision of Princess Xie Wu to set up a new dynasty of Wusun, and gave Feng Yuan Guimi as the little Kun Mo and Ni Mi as the big Kun Mo, and the two Kun Mo must work together to devote themselves to the development of Wusun, and there must be no more internal strife.

It was already great news for them that the new dynasty was recognized by the Han Dynasty, and as for when they could eradicate the obstacle of the mud, they had to find another opportunity in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to rescue Liu Ye and Wan Nian, the crime of cessing the tribe is unforgivable, the Han takes into account his orthodox background, and he is still respected if he is not held accountable, if he knows the current affairs, he should know how to make trade-offs.

Feng Yan came with the edict of the Great Han to ask to see Nimi, and explained to him concisely: "Da Kunmo, please release the queen and Wannian immediately, I can assure you that the mistakes you have committed will not be investigated by the Great Han!" ”

Ni Mi was silent for a long time, staring straight at Feng Yan, and actually laughed: "Don't be held accountable? What a good one will not be pursued! This king is Kunmo of Wusun, the only king of the grassland, where did the big Kunmo and the little Kunmo come from! What kind of thing is he, why did he come to ask us about Wusun! ”

"Uncle Wang's defection to the Han Dynasty is not considered a traitor, and this king will be charged with traitor if he makes a deal with the Xiongnu?" The more Ni Mi spoke, the more excited he became, he got up and flipped over the bookcase, pointed at Feng Yan and shouted, "Who said that this king ceded Wusun's tribe to the Xiongnu?" That's only temporary, this king will definitely drive the Xiongnu out of Wusun's territory in the future! ”

"Nimi, don't go crazy, hurry up and release people!" Feng Yanmai patiently entangled with him and stared at him coldly.

"Order?" Ni Mi laughed, and quickly drew his sword to cut the holy decree in Feng Yan's hand in two, "You make it clear to me, I am the king of Wusun, no one is qualified to instruct me, I don't admit that Dahan has this power at all!" Let me admit the new dynasty and the Yuan Guimi? No way! Let me let people go obediently, it's impossible! ”

Feng Yan raised her eyebrows: "Do you know what will happen when you go against the big man?" Muddy, did you really decide to do this? ”

"For the sake of you, you are the person next to the queen, you get out of me, this king left you a cheap life, and I won't kill you now! However, when you come to the battlefield in the future, whether you can survive or not depends on your creation. Ni Mi pushed Feng Yan away and walked away, "Only I am worthy of being Wusun's Kunmo, the new dynasty and Yuan Guimi will go to see the king of Hades for me!" ”

Feng Yan was driven away by Nimi's men, and she knew that this war was inevitable, so she told Chang Hui and Shizhong the truth. Chang Hui didn't think about it, and said: "Then let's fight, I've endured it to this point, when will I wait until I don't fight?" ”

Feng Yan looked at Shi Zhong and asked for his opinion: "Master Shi, what do you think?" ”

"Even if we don't want to fight this battle, will he give up?" Shizhong smiled helplessly, "However, before that, I want to go to a place first, before the queen told me something, I haven't finished it yet, maybe, now is the time." ”

Nimi really didn't plan to leave a way for the new dynasty to survive, and the next day after a complete turn with the Han Dynasty, he led a large number of troops to attack Chigu Castle. Chang Hui and his subordinates gritted their teeth to face the battle, knowing that they were not muddy opponents, but they were still determined to fight until the last lesson. Tu Qitang and Nan Shengnu also came to help with their former disciples, and the two sides fell into an unprecedented fierce battle.

At this critical moment, the division brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers who could compete with the mud, and the army from Qiuzi surrounded the mud and blocked his retreat.

The defeat was overwhelming, especially for the soldiers, who had lost trust in the king, and chose to surrender with little resistance. Nimi relied on the disparity in strength to try to annex the new dynasty, who had always wanted to remain neutral, but at this time he sent troops to help, which caught him off guard. It was really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, I thought that the new dynasty was under control, but I didn't expect him to be a trapped beast in prison.

In just a few months, more than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers under Nimi's command were captured, and he himself was trapped in Moon Bay. Even if he is unwilling to admit defeat, he will lose sooner or later if he continues like this, he will lose all his strength, and in the end he will not leave anything.

Of course, Nimi will not admit defeat, he decides to give it a go, whether he wins or loses, he does not want to become a prisoner. Even if he dies in this grassland, he is still the only king of the grassland.

The soldiers waited for the sunrise and the military order, and if they had a choice, they would rather never come, until the sun rose and they could return to their homeland.

"King, please give the order to go on the expedition!" The muddy lieutenant general said this, but he had already retreated in his heart.

Nimi rode on his horse and tightened his grip on the reins, glancing at him: "Listening to you, you are weak, are you also planning to surrender?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates swear to follow the king to the death!" The adjutant general hurriedly knelt down to show his loyalty, and the whole person trembled with fright, even if he had the idea of surrendering, he must not show it in front of Nimi, otherwise he would die immediately under Nimi's sword.

"Hmph, you don't dare!" Nimi raised his hand, "Get up, remember, this battle must be fought no matter what, even if there is only one soldier left in the end, you can't lose the face of this king......"

"Muddy, stop!"

He was stunned, and almost fell off the horse, and by the light of the torch, he saw clearly that the person who came was really Liu Ye, and said unhappily: "Queen, what are you doing?" How dare you leave the princess alone? Can't you wait to go back? This king is not dead, not dead......"

The last two sentences almost roared out, Liu Ye was indifferent and continued to walk towards him: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, why do you want to find a way to die?" Are you still unwilling to accept reality? Nimi, go back with your subordinates who swear to the death, and go back to the grassland to be your great Kunmo! ”

Ni Mi looked at Liu Ye in a daze, and laughed mockingly: "Are you giving alms or sympathy?" With your character, don't you want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? Will you let me go? Let me accept the arrangement of the Han Dynasty, accept the new dynasty and Yuan Guimi, and swallow my anger and return to the grassland to be a big Kunmo? ”

"If you hadn't been forced to do this, how could all this have happened? You are the king of Wusun, why do you need my charity and sympathy, I just accept the reality. For your own sake, as well as for the soldiers and the people, let it go! Stop causing innocent casualties! Liu Ye persuaded bitterly.

Nimi turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked towards Liu Ye: "What about you?" Will you go back with me? Don't forget, we also have a daughter......

"You better recognize the reality, I won't go back with you." Liu Ye said bluntly, stopping, unwilling to get any closer to him.

"Don't go back with me? Are you going to find that adulterer of yours? Ni Mi was furious, pointed at Liu Ye and scolded, "You shameless woman, you are my queen, and you actually embarrassed me again in front of everyone." You're not here for me at all, you're just afraid I'm going to hurt your adulterer! Well, the more you care, the more I want to kill him, I want to kill all the people you care about, and make you regret it for the rest of your life! ”

"Mud, it's okay for you to let go, there's no point in you doing this!" Liu Ye looked at the silent soldiers, "Do you know what they are thinking?" They don't want to fight anymore, they want to go home, they want to live a peaceful and stable life......"

"Did you ever think about me?" Ni Mi walked towards Liu Ye step by step, reaching out to her cheek, "Have you thought about our daughter?" We're family, Queen......"

Before the words fell, he only heard the sound of mud moaning, grabbed Liu Ye's hand and dragged her to the ground. Liu Ye heard that his breathing was disordered, and when he looked closely, it turned out that there was a sharp knife stuck in his right chest.

"Ah......h ”

Ni Mi glanced at Wan Nian with difficulty, smiled disapprehantly, and then turned to look at Liu Ye, raised his hand to stroke her face, combed a few strands of messy hair around her ears, and muttered, "Hair is messy...... Queen, do you know, I like to see you like this the most, elegant and pure, unadorned, really beautiful......"

Liu Ye let him hold his hand and listened to him continue: "You and I have been together for many days, I don't expect to get your love, but I often think, maybe you also have the slightest affection for me, right?" ”

Nimi looked at Liu Ye stupidly, but he didn't wait for the answer he wanted, laughed helplessly, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and said, "Our daughter...... You'll take good care of her...... Is that right? ”

Liu Ye nodded and said word by word: "I will take care of the princess, don't worry!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you'll ......" Ni Mi breathed a long sigh of relief, trying to look at Liu Ye with wide eyes, "Let me look at you again, I want to remember your appearance, I will recognize you at first sight in the next life......"

The first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the grassland, and Liu Ye reached out to caress his eyes that refused to close: "You and I don't have anything to do with each other anymore, rest in peace!" ”

Finding that Ni Mi was dead, the deputy general beside him hurriedly drew his sword and pointed at Wan Nian, Liu Ye immediately got up and said: "Da Kun Mo Ni Mi is disrespectful and disrespectful, plotting rebellion, on the spot, right, law!" ”

The deputy general hesitated, and for a moment he didn't know what to do, the soldiers looked at each other, put down their weapons one after another, and knelt down to Liu Ye.

The capital of Wusun was officially moved to Chigu Castle, and Wusun during the Yuan Guimi period continued Weng Guimi's pro-Han policy, and Wusun developed rapidly and became the first power in the Western Regions.

Liu Ye and Tu Qitang live in the mid-mountain fairyland of the medicine gourd, they watch the sunrise and sunset together every day, and live the life of a fairy couple. This day-to-day life is dull but happy, and they can finally let go of their earthly chores and be together carefree.

"Ye'er, do you want to go back to your hometown to have a look? I've been hearing you talk about big men a lot lately! After all these years, it's time to go home. Tu Qitang hugged Liu Ye and said softly.

"Where there is you, there is home, and I am very content now." Liu Ye snuggled up to his chest and said with a smile, "By the way, my white hair has popped up a lot recently, and I'm really old, I can't accept old age!" ”

"No, you haven't changed at all, you're still so beautiful!" Tu Qitang lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and smiled dotingly, "It's that my body bones are getting worse and worse, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you can't carry it!" ”

"Who told you to carry me, you are so old, and you are still showing affection in front of your children, it's so numb, I'm embarrassed." Liu Ye pretended to be disgusted, hugged his neck, and laughed.

"I'm happy, of course for everyone to know." Tu Qitang looked at Liu Ye affectionately, "Ye'er, I'm very happy with you, over the years, you have given me too much happiness." In this life, my wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets. ”

"Tu Qitang, me too, I love you, I love you very much." Liu Ye looked back at him and confessed sweetly.

"I love you, Ye'er, I love you......" Tu Qitang hugged her tightly, "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep, why don't we go to Dahan tomorrow, I want to sleep with you in my hometown, okay?" ”

Liu Ye was also a little tired, and responded in a daze: "Okay, let's talk about it when I wake up tomorrow!" ”

Tu Qitang never woke up, he left with a smile in Liu Ye's arms, they held hands and didn't let go for a long time, Liu Ye looked at his sleepy face, and said with a tearful smile: "Okay, I'll take you back to Dahan, and we will sleep in our hometown." ”

In the same year, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty sent 150,000 troops to jointly attack the Xiongnu with Wusun. Not long after, the Xiongnu surrendered and personally went to Chang'an City to accept the canonization of the county king. Since then, the enmity between the Xiongnu and the Han for hundreds of years has come to an end.

The following year, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty agreed to Princess Jiewu's request to return to her hometown, and Liu Ye finally got his wish. Yao Hulu died for many years, and Shizhong and Qingling were willing to guard his fairyland and treat the people of Akaya Castle. Liu Ye and Feng Yan bid farewell to their companions for many years and embarked on the road back to their hometowns with the ashes of their respective lovers.

51 BC

The wind was blowing outside Chang'an City, and the towering city wall was like an impregnable iron wall, blocking the eager sight of thousands of people in the city. Twelve four-horse chariots were parked side by side in front of the Bacheng Gate, and more than 1,000 soldiers in full uniforms lined up in a goose formation, all holding spears with solemn expressions.

The bright yellow gilt canopy on the city wall fluttered in the wind, and there was a person dressed as a eunuch under the canopy, he stood with his hands and lowered his eyebrows, and from time to time looked at the man in Xuanyi who had been sitting beside him for a long time, and finally said after hesitating for a moment: "Your Majesty, it's windy here, it's better to ......."

The man waved his wide sleeves, raised his head slightly, and the eyes under the crown that were insightful of the world flashed a trace of fluctuation: "Princess Xie Wei married Wusun far away, and she has been gone for fifty years, if it weren't for her and the people to stabilize the political situation in the Western Regions, how could there be today's peaceful and prosperous world!" Such a heroine among women, even if I wait for a night, why not! ”

The eunuch nodded again and again, serving Emperor Xuan of Han for many years, knowing that he cherished his talents, not to mention that Xie Wei was a noble princess of the Han family. Cardamom years went to the Western Regions Wusun Kingdom and relatives, weak shoulders to bear the heavy responsibility given to her by the motherland, in the bloody royal strife, Wusun Mother status unshakable, not only that, but she also helped the Han Dynasty successfully subjugate the Western Regions countries, including the Xiongnu who have been fighting for a hundred years.

Because of this, even if he was worried about the emperor's body, he couldn't say more.

At this time, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from far and near, and Emperor Xuan of Han's eyes lit up, leaned over and asked, "Has Princess Xie Wei arrived in Chang'an City?" ”

The eunuch leaned over and turned his head to bow to Emperor Xuan of Han: "Back to Your Majesty, the convoy escorting Princess Xie Wu has arrived in the city." ”

"Quick, open the gates!" Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty stood up to greet him, the loud horn sounded, the spring thunderous drums were deafening, and the soldiers on the city wall waved colorful flags and cheered for the distinguished guests who came from afar.

The city gate slowly opened, the people in the city learned that the princess was coming, all of them were overjoyed, they had already heard about the legendary deeds of the princess, and now the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally went out of the city to greet him, and he felt more excited and excited, rubbing shoulders and competing to see the princess's demeanor.

The sky was clearly cloudy, but at this moment it suddenly cleared, and the rose-colored sunset reflected the golden luan phoenix car outside the city through the clouds, which was exceptionally bright and magnificent.

The palace maids dressed in colorful clothes were all carved in pink and jade, and their slender jade hands held the treasures that the emperor had given to the princess to relieve their worries, and they were waiting respectfully outside the phoenix car.

Everyone's eyes didn't blink, for fear of missing every wonderful moment. Princess Xie Wu married at the age of nineteen in the Western Regions, and when she parted, the palace painter depicted her peerless style, and anyone who saw this painting with their own eyes will never forget. Princess Xie Wei is witty, brave and strategic, she and her maid Feng Yan mediated in the Western Regions, even the feared Hun Shan Yu is willing to bow down, her deeds are still talked about by the world.

For ordinary people, the legend of Princess Xie Wei is more like a myth, such a strange woman can only be looked up to, and now it is close at hand, and it feels incredible to think about it.

At this moment, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was no less excited than ordinary people, from the first day he ascended the throne, he took the recovery of the Western Regions and pacified the Xiongnu as his own responsibility, this mission was too arduous, and there were many difficulties and twists and turns, but he never gave up lightly. Now that Han Gaozu's wish has finally come true, even if he has not had much time, he will have the face to see his ancestors in the future.

Princess Jiewu's car was dazzling with golden light, Feng Yan slowly lifted the curtain, there was silence inside and outside the city gate, everyone's eyes gathered on the cyan figure, she was supported by the maid and got out of the car, smiling and peaceful, although she couldn't really see her face, but the elegant atmosphere between gestures made people take their breath away.

Her plain dress was devoid of any ornamentation, her long snow-white hair was loosely curled behind her, and the setting sun shrouded her, and the soft halo faded the marks left on her face by the years, like a holy fairy.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty greeted him quickly, looking at the white-haired princess who was over seventy years old, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. At the same time, he is also grateful that the peerless pearl of the Han dynasty dedicated her youth to the country, and it was she who opened a new chapter on the Silk Road.

Liu Ye thanked the Holy Grace, and surrounded by the palace maids, slowly walked towards the Chang'an City in his memory, the streets paved with bluestone slabs seemed to be more spacious, the shops were lined up one after another, and they were more prosperous than before. The endless cheers on both sides of the street reminded her of the scene when she entered the palace many years ago, when she came to Chang'an City for the first time and saw so many people for the first time.

Looking at the carefree smiling faces of the children, as if she saw her former self, she also had an innocent childhood. The past is like smoke, things are people, the past is no longer traceable, from the day of parting, she will hand herself over to an unknown fate, even if the guest dies in a foreign land, the soul must return to her homeland.

Climb the city tower, look at the vast yellow sand thousands of miles away, the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms comes to you, and it feels so familiar. Liu Ye caressed her heart, there was still a faint pain, she thought that her heart had been left on that vast grassland, and she would never come back.

"Ye'er, if everything can be done all over again, do you regret loving me?"

The breeze was blowing, just like his gentle whisper, Liu Ye's eyes were wet in an instant, and she heard herself say, "No, I don't regret it." ”

Singing with the wind, drifting with the clouds, and looking at the vicissitudes of the sea, I wish to meet again in the next life, not to be reborn in the emperor's house, and to rely on the dream of the king's soul.
