Finally received the news that the Dawan Han army had set out to conquer the Wusun border, Feng Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the good news followed, after the princess Qili of the Anxi Dynasty asked for the king's consent, she sent eight thousand elite cavalry to counter the threat of the Hun cavalry to Wusun.

The Hun cavalry has always been called the invincible eagle on the grassland, but when they came to the repose cavalry known as the iron wall, they were just an eagle that had lost its feathers. If it weren't for the fact that the Anxi Dynasty disdained to fight with the countries of the Western Regions, the real overlord of the grasslands in the Western Regions would have been in the bag of Anxi.

The Han army and the rest cavalry rushed to Wusun, and the division did not seem to be satisfied with this result, and he borrowed the mouths of the people in the territory of Qiuci to publicize the bet between the king of Qiuzi and the queen of Wusun, and the subsequent victory of the queen of Wusun, and the king of Qiuzi promised that he would do something for her in the future.

Now that Wusun was coerced by the Xiongnu, Queen Wusun asked King Qiuzi for help and asked him to send troops to support. This request is pure fantasy, Qiuci has always been friendly with the Xiongnu, flattering the Xiongnu court, even if he borrows a few ambitious leopard galls from the king of Qiuci, he does not dare to turn around and be the enemy of the Xiongnu.

Everyone knows this, the reason why Liu Ye made such an unrealistic request was to make King Qiuzi embarrassed, if he could not go to support the Xiongnu, it would be a great luck, who could expect him to really send troops to support Wusun.

The court of Qiuzi was shocked when they heard about this, they didn't expect that the king, who had always been majestic, would actually bet on national affairs with others, so it was child's play, he actually lost, if he lost, he would lose, he still wanted to repay the debt. This kind of king of a country with no integrity at all is simply a disgrace to the country and a misfortune to the people.

The words of the country's shame and the misfortune of the people have long been spread among the people, and some people have even revealed that Qiuzi not only did not help Queen Wusun, but also secretly delivered grain and grass materials to the Xiongnu. As soon as this news spread, the whole country was even more chaotic, and the people in the royal family of Qiuzi were ashamed of being the king's flesh and blood, and they hated to be able to break off from him immediately.

Liu Ye had known about King Qiuci's secret funding of the Xiongnu, but she would never write like this in her letter, if she directly asked the king to suspend his aid to the Xiongnu, he would definitely feel that he had been exposed, and his annoyance and anger intensified. And Liu Ye's request for help for Wusun is reasonable and reasonable, and it is also human nature, although it is quite difficult for a strong man, but everyone can understand it, even if King Qiuzi refuses, he can be understood, and it will not make him lose face and lose his dignity.

However, when it was reported from Qiuzi that the king secretly supported the Xiongnu, the effect was very different, not only the common people of Qiuci were resistant to the royal family, but even the people in the royal family despised His Majesty the King who fished in troubled waters. In this case, even if the king of Qiuzi was reluctant, he had to stop continuing to support the Xiongnu.

Now that the wood has been completed, no one will investigate who spread the inside information, and the common people of Qiuzi feel that they owe a favor to Queen Wusun, and when the flood in Qiuzi was devastated, their king only cared about praying to God, and did not care about the life or death of the people. If it weren't for Queen Wusun stepping forward to help them dredge the flood and rebuild their homes, Qiuzi would not know how depressed he would have been.

King Qiuci has always been on the grounds that the treasury is tight, for the affected areas of the country are very little assistance, now the Xiongnu wantonly sent troops to invade Wusun, Qiuci's treasury is not tight, the king also behaved very generously, more than once to provide grain and grass material aid, is simply the Huns' lackey.

This kind of behavior is really outrageous, and the antipathy of the people of Qiuzi towards the royal family is growing day by day, and demonstrations to bring down the royal family have been launched in various places. In order to maintain the king's face, the royal family of Qiuzi originally tried their best to cover up the truth for him and help him say good things against their will, but now that it is time like this, who is still in the mood to maintain a king who does not distinguish between right and wrong and does not keep his promises, for him to offend the people of the world, it is difficult to ensure that the royal family can still stand, who is willing to lose the existing glory and wealth!

Under increasing pressure, King Qiuzi finally made a guarantee that he would never support the Xiongnu again, and in order to fulfill his promise, he decided to send troops to block the Xiongnu border and provide a fair opportunity for the Xiongnu and Wusun to fight.

It was not easy for King Qiuzi to make such a guarantee, and he cut off the Xiongnu's financial and retreat routes, and Shizhong returned to Wusun with satisfaction.

Knowing that Liu Ye was held hostage by Wei Lu, Shi Zhong and Qing Ling, Feng Yan immediately rushed to the border, Feng Yan was responsible for reporting the military situation to Weng Guimi, and Shi Zhong and Qing Ling tried to rescue Liu Ye.

They traveled overnight, and finally found Wei Lu's convoy on the mountain road near the border, which was the carriage of the Han army, which was instantly recognizable.

The division led a Wusun cavalry to outflank and surrounded the convoy of more than 10 people.

"What about them?" Shi Zhong grabbed the big man guard who was standing aside with his head drooping, "Where did that guy Wei Lu take the princess?" ”

The guard swore allegiance to Wei Lu, but after all, he was still a Han man, and in the face of the commander who was also from the Han Dynasty, he reflexively replied: "The envoy took the princess to the mountain." ”

"Damn it!" Shizhong cursed, they were careful again and again, but Wei Lu escaped first, he knew that he couldn't escape the encirclement of the Wusun cavalry, so he simply fled with Liu Ye.

Qing Ling kicked the carriage a few times in anger and rushed to the mountain, without further ado, if Wei Lu escaped from the mountain, they would never want to find him again.

The division sent an order, and the Wusun cavalry immediately blocked the mountain, leaving no way for Wei Lu to retreat. This time, he must catch Wei Lu with his own hands and execute this Hun with evil intentions.

Wei Lu carried Liu Ye behind his back to perform unique light skills, his martial arts are not the best, there is only one way to defeat in the division, but his light skills are still very confident, even if it is the poisonous scorpion that taught him at the beginning, he may not be able to escape as fast as him, I think if it wasn't for his bad luck at the beginning, he would not have been expelled if he met Tu Qitang, who is one of the best in the Western Regions.

Tu Qitang took advantage of Wei Lu's cunning and sent him to the Han Dynasty to get close to the people in the imperial court, helping the Xiling Sect to obtain more information, so as to control Dawan and Qiuzi more effectively. Unexpectedly, the most powerful sect in the Western Regions collapsed, but his chess piece shined brightly, became the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and returned to his hometown with great scenery.

Because of this, Wei Lu will not allow anyone to take away everything he has, and he will defend his interests to the death, including the woman he is in love with.

Wei Lu didn't care to talk to Liu Ye, and kept crossing the mountain all the time, away from the pursuit of the division, but he got lost again. He couldn't tell the way through the mountains, so he had to climb another mountain to find the direction of the sun.

Maybe it's providence, at the foot of the mountain peak where they are located, is Weng Guimi's military camp, the Wusun soldiers who are ready to go, are waiting to meet with the Han reinforcements, and the flags of Wusun and the Han are fluttering in the air, gradually approaching.

Seeing this situation, Wei Lu couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that this is the will of heaven." ”

Liu Ye glared at him angrily, gasping for breath: "Enough, so far, don't you give up?" Now even God won't help you, and you still have to cling to your pride? ”

Wei Lu lowered his head, and a wry smile rose on his lips: "It's you, it's you who used that letter to expose my true identity, right?" ”

Liu Ye didn't plan to hide it from him: "It's me, I revealed this secret without you noticing." ”

"You woman, even if you know my past, but my current identity is still a special envoy of the Han Dynasty, and the Han court has not punished me for a day, and I am still an envoy with real power. Aren't you afraid that I will withdraw the military order and let your Wusun be razed to the ground by the Huns? Wei Lu gritted his teeth, grabbed Liu Ye's shoulders and shook them, and shouted loudly, "You want to make me die? No, I don't give up, as long as I still have a breath left, I will never admit defeat! ”

"Whether you want to admit defeat or not, you can't stop it, as a princess of the Han Dynasty, I have the right to cut first and then play! It is inevitable that you have deceived the trust of the Han court, and now you want to use military power without permission, which is even more of a crime! ”

"You threaten me? Chop before play? What a good one to cut first and then play? Don't forget that you are still in my hands, and even if you have this right, you can't command anyone to obey your orders. Wei Lu glanced at the empty mountain peak and sneered, "There are only you and me here, why should you punish me, even if I have no way to escape, I can take you to die together." ”

"Then let's die together!" Liu Ye fearlessly met his blade-like gaze, "If you are willing to give up being an enemy of Wusun, I am willing to accept all the consequences." But as long as I'm alive, I'm not going to give you a chance to take back your orders. ”

"Military orders are more important than your life?" Wei Lu asked incredulously, "Would you rather die for Wusun?" ”

"Yes, I do." Liu Ye was not the slightest bit ambiguous, and his clear eyes did not hesitate at all.

"Haha......" Wei Lu raised his head and laughed a few times, as if he had lost his mind, he turned to look at Liu Ye with difficulty, "I knew that the woman I fell in love with was not an ordinary person, you can always make me lose convincingly, I thought I had cultivated to the point of invincibility, but as soon as I met you, I could only admit defeat." But I just didn't admit defeat, I was hurt by you again and again, I almost lost my life, not to mention, I couldn't even save the last trace of face. ”

Liu Ye closed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, Wei Lu suddenly approached her, hugged her waist with one hand, and hooked her chin with the other: "Even so, I still can't resist your temptation, I want to come back to see you at the risk of death, you woman, you say, what kind of spell did you cast on me, how can I love you like this!" ”

"The person you love is yourself, and you don't know how to love others at all!" Liu Ye struggled to break free from his shackles and said sharply, "Don't confuse possession with love, you came to see me to seek revenge on me, and you use selfish possession as a way to love me." You just don't get convinced that you lost to me at the beginning, so even if you risk your life, you have to prove that you are the ultimate winner. ”

"Enough, Wei Lu, it's really enough, does it matter who wins or loses? With your shrewdness, you can still live the same happy life as before, why bother with me? Even if you don't be a special envoy of the Han Dynasty or a Hun horse dealer, you can find what you are willing to do and the life you like. Liu Ye only felt exhausted, and sighed helplessly, "In Chigu City, I admit that I took advantage of you, I can't get used to your arrogance, and I must find an excuse to get rid of my opponent." So, you and I became enemies. ”

Wei Lu was still smiling bitterly, his fingertips brushed over Liu Ye's cold face, and he quietly listened to what she said.

"If you want me to apologize personally, I can do it too, I'm sorry, I changed your life and gave you a taste of failure. But I don't feel like I've won you, I never thought so. As long as I survive, I still have hope and hope to continue the unfinished business. I'm not living for myself, I'm trying to survive for my mission, so I can't die until I complete my mission, I have to live with all my strength, and I will do everything I can to get rid of whoever is in my way. ”

"This is my life, from the time I came to the grasslands of the Western Regions, it was destined that I could not live only for myself. But you're different, at least you can decide what kind of life you want, you still have the possibility to start over, and you have the freedom to decide your own destiny. Now, do you understand, compared to me, you are the real winner, you have already won me, you should not complain about anything. ”

Liu Ye looked at the despair in Wei Lu's eyes, and said softly: "You go, I will still say this until now, I don't want to force you to a dead end, although you are at fault, but part of it is also caused by me, I only ask that you keep your promise to send troops, and now that you have done it, I have nothing else to ask for from you, and I will not pursue it." ”

Wei Lu maintained the movement of kneeling in front of her, supporting the ground with both hands, bowing his head deeply, Liu Ye patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are different from me, you don't have no choice, now everything is in time, don't be discouraged, you just need the courage to start again!" ”

"I didn't expect your situation to be much better than mine......" Wei Lu was silent for a long time before he said, slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Ye and smiled slightly, "Hearing you say this, I really feel much more comfortable, it turns out that I am not so miserable alone, it sounds like you are worse than me!" ”

Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "Now you are psychologically balanced, that's right, I am worse than you, you will live better than me, let me envy you for a lifetime!" ”

Wei Lu shook his head: "But you are wrong, I didn't confuse possession with love, nor did I take selfish possession as a way to love you. If I were still the same guard law as before, I would have made you my woman a long time ago, instead of guarding you every day and watching your face live. ”

Liu Ye was slightly stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, Wei Lu took off the long shirt on his body and handed it to her: "The person who keeps you, who can't keep your heart, doesn't mean anything to me." ”

Liu Ye didn't think much about it, took the robe and put it on, wrapped himself very tightly, seeing this, Wei Lu smiled: "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, really, this is not flattery or sweet words." ”

"Thank you." Liu Ye wanted to thank him for not forcing her to be his woman.

"This thank you sounds too ironic, I can't stand it." Wei Lu's blue eyes were clouded with a layer of gray, "Don't you hate me when I treat you like this?" ”

Liu Ye thought for a while and shook his head seriously: "No, I didn't hate you." ”

Wei Lu was even more desperate: "Then you really didn't love me, you don't care about me at all, no matter what I do to you, you won't hate me, right?" ”

Liu Ye was speechless, it was not unreasonable for him to say this, she had no expectations for him, nor did she think that there would be such a thing as affection between the two, of course, there would be no hate, and hate also stems from love!

Wei Lu took Liu Ye's silence as an answer, and laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous to say, I pretend to be a wanderer, I have never taken women to heart, and I never thought that I would fall in love with anyone one day!" Who knew that in the end I fell in love with a woman who could never love me, and suffered the pain of not being loved for this woman. In the past, the women I hurt asked me if I understood the feeling of heartache, and I scoffed, but now, I understand how sad it feels. ”

"Perhaps this is God's punishment for me, I despise the love of others, and I deserve to be despised. This is very fair, God is really fair, no matter who you are, you can't escape the terrible reincarnation. ”

"I'll take you to the barracks!" Wei Lu held back the tears that forced his eyes, forced a happy face, got up and took Liu Ye's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you out, and I'll hand you over to Weng Guimi." ”

Liu Ye glanced at the Wusun soldiers and the Han army who had already met at the foot of the mountain, and rejected his kindness: "No need, I can go back by myself." ”

Wei Lu snorted: "I promised to let you go, what else do you have to worry about, are you afraid that I will regret it?" ”

"Of course not, I know you're a man of your word." Liu Ye smiled indifferently, "I hope you can get out of the shadow of the past, live well, start a new life, and stay away from all this, isn't it better!" ”

"Thank you for affirming me and letting me know that I also have merit." Wei Lu took a deep breath, "We won't meet again in the future, let me send you the last ride, just as I am killing myself, you don't need to blame yourself." ”

"I think it's even more pointless to sacrifice meaninglessly, and if you don't take your life seriously, then I don't think it's worth it to treat you as a friend." Liu Ye said.

"You think of me as a friend?" Wei Lu was overjoyed, "You really think so, I'm a good person in your heart, right?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and nodded: "Friend, it's easy to go all the way, goodbye!" ”

Wei Lu waved his hand helplessly: "You mean, never see you again!" ”

"We are going in the opposite direction, and no one is allowed to turn back, otherwise even friends will not be able to do it." Liu Ye turned around and walked down the mountain, and Wei Lu also hurriedly turned around, "I can be your friend, what luxury do I have, even if I don't see you again, I don't have any regrets." ”

Liu Ye thought that he hated Wei Lu very much, and sometimes he hated to kill him with his own hands, but now that he chose to forgive, his mood was very relaxed. Maybe she didn't understand the other party's situation enough before, so she couldn't let go of it for a long time, but in fact, if you think about it from another perspective, it is not so difficult to understand.

Halfway up the mountain, Liu Ye suddenly heard the sound of a horn from the side of the barracks, and following the sound, it turned out that the Hun cavalry had attacked again.
