Chapter 30: Belated Happiness
Weng Guimi succeeded to the throne and became Kun Mo of the new generation of Wusun, he was not a person who yearned for power, in order to realize his promise to Liu Ye, he resolutely chose the path of kingship.
However, when he got his wish, he had to personally send away the woman he loved the most, even if he was reluctant, he could only accept the fact that love was no longer there. He didn't want to recall when Liu Ye's heart had changed, but it was undeniable that he had caused today's situation by himself.
Whether it is love or hate, as long as Liu Ye can be happy, he has nothing else to ask for. If the person who can give her happiness is no longer him, he will not hesitate to send her away and send her to the person who can give her happiness.
Embarking on the Xiongnu journey again, Liu Ye's mood was very different from before, in order to avoid suspicion, she did not let Chang Hui accompany her, but set off with the poisonous scorpion and Qing Ling. For the Han people and most of the people in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu were in danger of going and never returning, especially the ferocious Xiongnu horse bandits, if they were unfortunate enough to meet them, they could only be said to be nine deaths.
Feng Yan was worried about Liu Ye It was for this reason that Liu Ye had a special identity, and the consequences would be unimaginable if he was exposed. Fortunately, she is protected by poisonous scorpions, so there should be no accidents along the way. The poisonous scorpion is an authentic Huns, not to mention being familiar with the terrain, and his kung fu is also first-class, even if he encounters a Hun horse bandit, he is also a pediatrician in his hands. The poisonous scorpion has a strange personality, and often does not play cards according to the card, he promised to escort Liu Ye is nothing more than an obstacle to Tu Qitang's entrustment, fortunately, there is also Qingling accompanied by this trip, as the so-called one thing descends to one thing, Qingling people are small and big, and they are the nemesis of poisonous scorpions.
The three of them were busy on the road, Liu Ye was concerned about Tu Qitang's safety, and he was on the road day and night regardless of the bumps in the road. Knowing that Tu Qitang was playing masochism, the poisonous scorpion was frowning all the way, and he believed that with Tu Qitang's temper and character, he would definitely do this kind of thing. However, if this Xiling Sect leader has made any mistakes, how should he explain to the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon!
Qing Ling also has his own plans, if he rescues Tu Qitang, the hope of rescuing the division will increase a few points. Her grandfather and her teacher are still at the shrine of the Xiling Sect, and their whereabouts are unknown, and they don't know what difficulties they encountered. Although the person in charge of the Xiling Sect is the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, Tu Qitang is also a sect leader, so he can always say a few words!
Coming to the foot of the mountain where the poisonous scorpions lived, the carriage slowly stopped, it had just rained last night, and the mountain road was muddy again, just like the last time they were there.
Qing Ling looked at the poisonous scorpion, the poisonous scorpion nodded, she quickly jumped off the horse, lifted the curtain, and called softly: "Princess, it's here, get out of the car!" ”
"Okay." Liu Ye bent down and got out of the car, holding Qing Ling's shoulder with one hand, lifting the white tulle above his head with the other, looked at the misty mountain peak, took a deep breath, remembered everything that had happened in that thatched house, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Ye took a step towards the mountain, and the poisonous scorpion took the lead and led the way in front. Following the footprints of the poisonous scorpion, they reached the halfway point of the mountain as fast as they could. What is surprising is that the fenced courtyard of the poisonous scorpion disappeared out of thin air, and the roofs of the two thatched huts did not know where to fly, and the thatched hut that was left for poison production was crumbling in the cold wind, and from time to time dry grass floated over.
"What's going on?" The poisonous scorpion froze in place, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, although his nest was simple enough, it was not so dilapidated, after all, it was the residence where he had lived for most of his life, and no one could accept it like this.
The poisonous scorpion thought that the enemy had come to the door, and it was not enough to demolish his house, and he had destroyed all his precious poisons, and rushed in with a scream, jumping and shouting frantically: "Who is it, who is it...... How can this be true, my years of hard work......"
Qing Ling subconsciously hugged Liu Ye tightly, looked around for a long time, and wondered, "Could it be that the enemy of the poisonous scorpion is also here?" Oops, that guy won't get caught! Princess, why don't we find a place to hide and wait until the poisonous scorpion is settled. ”
Liu Ye naturally refused to leave, she finally came here, and she hadn't seen Tu Qitang yet, how could she leave? Just as he was hesitating, he caught a glimpse of a farmer who was going up the mountain to cut firewood, and then asked, "Uncle, what happened here?" ”
The farmer looked up and down at the unusually beautiful Han girl in front of him, frowned, and didn't plan to speak, no matter how beautiful the Han girl was, she was also an incompatible Han person, and somehow appeared in the Xiongnu realm, it was good if he didn't report her, but if you want to answer her question, don't count on it.
"Hey, uncle, don't you hear what I want to say?" Qingling raised his eyebrows upside down, with an impatient expression, pointed to the poisonous scorpion that was going crazy in the broken grass, and said, "Even people's ancestral houses have been demolished, it's too lacking in morality!" ”
"Hey, how does this little girl talk? I didn't tear it down, what are you scolding me for? "The farmer saw that this girl from the Western Regions was young and beautiful, and he was in a good mood, but he didn't expect her to be fierce, and she scolded people without asking questions, and no matter how good her temper was, she couldn't bear it.
"This uncle, you're funny." Qingling crossed his hands on his hips, and said non-stop with a small mouth, "Who said I scolded you?" I'm scolding the people who demolish people's houses, don't you understand people's words? I said, uncle, if you know who did it, just say it and clear the suspicion, unless you have a ghost in your heart, you don't dare to say it! Anyway, if you did it or not, don't you say that I don't suspect it, I really feel suspicious if you react so violently......"
The farmer couldn't resist it, and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, you girl is really unreasonable, you can't say it!" I repeat, I didn't demolish these two dilapidated houses, although that psychotic person spends his days in the house, and from time to time poisons the hares and pheasants on the mountain, but I am not the ancestral house? Renting a house? It turns out that this downhill house is rented by his family? No wonder he wants to live in such a hellish place! ”
"Uncle, don't digress, I asked you who did it, you can say it quickly......"
"Say, say, say now." The farmer glanced at Qingling angrily, and said reluctantly, "A while ago, a young man came in, who seemed to be from the Western Regions, dressed well, and was very tall, but his face was ugly, as if someone owed him a few loads of grain. As soon as he came, he kicked the fence wall away, and roared into the house......"
As he spoke, the farmer pointed to the most damaged room: "Oh, that's it, he went in and smashed things, oh, so much strength, even the ground under my feet was shaking, it was really scary." I hid and didn't dare to look, but I wondered what he was about, and when he had lost his temper, I saw that the yard was no longer what it was, and then I saw him carrying a big cloth bag and went there......"
"Where did you go?" Qing Ling stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and asked hurriedly.
"This little girl, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!" The farmer puffed up his cheeks indignantly, and glanced at the cave not far away, "I didn't know what I was doing when I went there, and I didn't dare to follow it." ”
"Caves?" Qing Ling and Liu Ye glanced at each other, intending to go over to see what was going on, but the farmer snorted, turned around and left, was dragged back by Qing Ling, clenched his fist and shook it in front of his eyes, "If you want to live, don't talk nonsense, I remember your appearance, be careful!" ”
The farmer opened his mouth, forced by her coercion, did not dare to choke, regained his freedom and walked a few steps before whispering: "Neuropathy, neuropathy, none of them are normal......"
The poisonous scorpion was still out of control, and Liu Ye pulled down Qingling's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go to the cave and have a look." ”
"Well, it looks like he's going to have to go crazy for a while, and he can't count on it for a while." Qing Ling helped Liu Ye to walk towards the cave, walked down the wet stone steps, his feet fell into the mud, and he struggled to move forward, the stone cave was hidden by the jungle, it was not very conspicuous during the day, and it was probably even more difficult to find at night.
Qing Ling jumped down holding the tree trunk and stretched out his hands to Liu Ye: "Princess, be careful, the road is slippery here." ”
Liu Ye looked at the dark entrance of the cave, and out of nowhere he got the courage, jumped down and went straight to the cave. Qing Ling was afraid that there would be danger in the cave, so he chased after him and shouted: "Princess, princess, wait a minute, I'll go first and take a look......"
Before the words fell, a sword qi approached the Qinglingmian Gate, she exclaimed, retreated again and again, and watched Liu Ye walk into the cave, jumping to her feet in a hurry: "Princess, don't go any further, there is an ambush ......"
Another sword qi forced Qing Ling back a few steps, and the distance between her and Liu Ye became farther and farther, so anxious that her heart almost jumped out: "Princess, stop, you can't go in......"
"Qingling, I'm fine." Liu Ye's trembling voice came from the cave, "You wait outside for a while, I've seen him......"
Qing Ling stopped talking, stayed where she was and waited for her quietly, just find Tu Qitang, she wouldn't be too sad. Qing Ling didn't dare to imagine if he hadn't been found this time, if Liu Ye would have been able to withstand the blow.
The faint light shone into the cave, and the sound of the dripping water was still in his ears, Liu Ye looked at the familiar figure in the corner in a daze, and stepped into the puddle carelessly.
Liu Ye snorted lightly, fell into a warm embrace, felt the breath of the other party, and tears of longing came out of his eyes. Liu Ye took the initiative to stretch out his arms around his emaciated waist, looking up at the longing face, the former handsome and peerless face was haggard and pale, the deeply sunken cheeks, the messy stubble, especially the bitter sadness in his eyes, all pierced her heart.
"Tu Qitang ......" Liu Ye heard his voice shattered, tears pouring down, "You, what's wrong with you......"
Tuqi Tang's gray eyes finally fluctuated a little, he was still a little incredulous, at this time, she should be by Weng Guimi's side to be the mother of Wusun that she dreamed of, why did she appear here? Did she come to him on purpose? How can it be? She clearly said that they wouldn't be together.
"Tu Qitang, did you hear me? Tell me, what's wrong with you? Liu Ye buried his head in his arms and wept profusely.
Feeling her warmth and fragrance, Tu Qitang gradually found a sense of reality, stroked her long hair, and hesitated: "Ye'er, is it you?" ”
"Well, it's me, it's me, Tu Qitang, I'm your Ye'er......" Liu Ye couldn't care about anything at this moment, she just hoped that he would be well, and she wanted to be with him.
"You are not ......" Tu Qitang's voice was hoarse and desolate, since Weng Guimi went back, he was tormented by longing every day, and when he thought of the picture of Weng Guimi and Liu Ye's sweet life, he even had the heart to die. And he is still reluctant to die, he is reluctant to leave her, if he can live under the same blue sky with her, it is worth the hardship.
"No, don't say it again, that's not my intention, and I had no choice but to do it at the beginning. Tu Qitang, can you forgive me? ”
"Ye'er, do you love me?" Tu Qitang didn't care about anything, he only cared about her mind.
"I love you, Tu Qitang, I've always loved you......" Liu Ye confessed his heart to him, Tu Qitang trembled with excitement, hugged her tightly in his arms, and tears of happiness burst out of his eyes.
