Chapter 141: Before Sunrise

In order to prevent Shizhong and Chang Hui from hearing the news and making an impulsive decision, Tu Qitang and Qingling took advantage of the spread of the news and came to them overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"What? The queen is gone? Captured by that bastard of the mud? Chang Hui couldn't hold back his anger when he heard this, and shouted loudly, "How is it possible, how can that bastard send someone to infiltrate the queen's bedroom without being discovered?" Sect Master, Qing Ling, is still under your noses? ”

Shizhong frowned, tried to stay calm, and comforted Chang Hui: "General Chang, don't be anxious first, listen to what the sect leader says, the queen's disappearance has something to do with me, if I didn't let Ling'er tell the queen about Wannian being held hostage by Nimi, even if Nimi was able to send someone to sneak into the palace, the queen would not go with them." ”

Tu Qitang shook his head and blamed himself: "No, I blame me for this, I didn't take good care of Ye'er, and when I learned that Wannian fell into the muddy trap, Ye'er couldn't accept the blow and fainted." I should have guarded her every step of the way, but I left her alone in the dormitory, and if I hadn't been negligent, how could I have given Nimi a chance? ”

"Sect Master, you can't be blamed for the whole thing, why do you take the responsibility on yourself?" Qingling was so anxious that she was about to cry, "If you want to blame me, blame me, I pulled you away, I thought that in that case, it would be best to let the queen rest herself, who would have thought, but at that time, this kind of thing happened......"

Chang Hui stared at Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang for a long time, and then saw that Qing Ling kept wiping away his tears, and sighed long: "Alas, no one complains, blames me!" Blame me all! I couldn't convince Wan Nian, let alone stop him, I thought I knew Wan Nian very well, but I didn't know that he had grown up, had his own ideas and persistence, and he didn't believe in my old things. I only know how to tell him intuition, intuition, and I don't know how to analyze the pros and cons of reasoning with him, how can he listen to it! ”

"General Chang, Sect Master, Ling'er, don't blame yourself......" Even though Shizhong is like them, anxious about Liu Ye's current situation, he still has to keep a cool head, "The queen would rather sacrifice herself and go to the grassland to protect ten thousand years, presumably she also has some confidence in dealing with mud, compared to us, she knows him better." ”

"Yes, the mud is not the queen's opponent, besides, the queen is now pregnant with his child......" Speaking of this, Qing Ling couldn't help but glance at Tu Qitang worriedly, and hesitated, "That mud is no longer a thing, and you can't do anything to hurt your own child, the tiger poison still doesn't eat children, for the sake of children, the queen's situation can barely get by." ”

"But in a few months, the child will be born, and who knows what that bastard will do to the queen and Wan Nian?" Chang Hui hurriedly asked the teacher for advice, "What should I do, Master, what should we do now?" I'm confused when I'm in a hurry, and if you don't show me the way, I won't dare to make decisions on my own. ”

"Do you want to lead troops to fight now?" Shizhong said his heart, and then denied it, "If we do this, he can't ask for it, and now the queen and Wannian are in his hands, he can punish us for the crime of rebellion, even if we fight hard, our forces are not his opponents, and sooner or later we will be defeated." Moreover, hurting others and hurting oneself with one's life, and living up to the expectations of the people, think about it, if the queen were here, would she agree? ”

"No, absolutely not, the queen wants to say again, even if she and Wannian are gone, you can't burn both jade and lose. As long as we still have a new dynasty and a new Kunmo, we must retain our strength to the end. Chang Hui naturally understood Liu Ye's character, and said helplessly, "Then it's not a way to go on like this, you can't just wait stupidly......"

"Wait, Ye'er means that we just want to wait and wait until a good time." Tu Qitang saw Shi Zhong and Chang Hui looking at him with surprised eyes, and hurriedly explained, "I went back to the dormitory with Qingling, and I didn't see Ye'er, but I saw her light a lamp, it was still daytime, she wouldn't do it for no reason." After I calmed down and thought about it, I finally understood what she meant. She told us not to act recklessly, but to wait for the moment. ”

Qing Ling immediately nodded: "When I saw that lamp, I was also very puzzled, and when I heard the sect leader's explanation, I understood." When the sister-in-law and grandfather went to Dahan for a long time, it was time to come back after all, Dahan is our queen's maiden family, and she will give some assistance to a greater or lesser extent. He is an orthodox Kunmo, it is always unreasonable for us to send troops to encircle and suppress, it is okay to fight, at most he will be infamous as a big rebel, but if he can't beat it, he can only be accused of being a traitor. At present, the entire Western Regions is regarded as a joke, and there is the support of the Huns behind the mud, if the queen does not have the support of the Han Dynasty, how can this battle continue? ”

Shizhong pondered what they said, pondered for a moment, and agreed: "So, what we can do now is to wait, no matter what, we must keep the new dynasty and Yuan Guimi." Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the queen's hard work will be in vain. ”

"Yes, you also know that what the queen cares about most is Yuan Guimi, staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, no matter how much she is wronged, she can't cut off the only bloodline of the first king." Qing Ling sighed at Liu Ye's good intentions.

"It seems like it's going to be the only way." Shi Zhong looked up at Dahan's position, "I hope that Xiao Xiao can come back as soon as possible and bring good news to change the situation." ”

In the early hours of the morning, Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang stood on the grassland to watch the sunrise, the magnificent morning glow reflected the dense woods, and the meandering river was glowing with a little golden light, echoing each other beautifully.

"When the queen and I were in Dawan, the king of Dawan was assassinated, and the assassin was captured by the guards, and he became angry with the queen. I guarded the queen that night, fearing that she would be in danger, and I had no idea how powerful the Assassin was and how many people supported him, but I had only one thought at the time, and that was to keep the queen no matter what. ”

Shi Zhong looked at Tu Qitang, who was worried, and said, "I think, I can understand your mood, that kind of taste is like sitting on pins and needles, every minute and every second is a difficult torture." Luckily, I only stayed up all night, and you, you have to endure a long period of months. ”

Tu Qitang smiled bitterly: "The time you were in distress had something to do with me, because I was the one behind the support of the assassins. To tell you the truth, I thought about killing Princess Dahan and creating panic, but it was only a fleeting thought. I didn't know at the time why Princess Dahan's life and death were related to me, so I didn't hesitate to risk suspicion by leaving the palace and getting rid of the assassin with my own hands. ”

"It's a good thing you made a wise choice, otherwise you would have regretted it for the rest of your life." Shizhong patted him on the shoulder and teased with a smile.

"Yes, if I do that, I'm afraid that I will live in a mess for the rest of my life, and I will never understand what love is." Tu Qitang lowered his head, thinking back on the past, a trace of sweetness welled up in his heart.

"The queen has a bad fate, and with her, she is destined to go through more tribulations, but she is a good woman, a woman worthy of love with all her heart." Shizhong always had a feeling of sympathy for Tu Qitang, "I sometimes think that if you don't fall in love with the queen, even if you don't experience the feeling of love, you won't bear the pain of missing." ”

"Love is sweet and bitter, I can't just ask for it and not give it." Tu Qitang took out the jade flute and spun it in his hand familiarly, "Mother said that I was stupid, and the poisonous scorpion was not worth it for me, and even the Southern Holy Maiden persuaded me to let go of my obsession and persuade me to change my mind and build the Xiling Sect." ”

"It's a pity that they don't really understand me, don't understand why I'm so persistent, being loved by Ye'er is my greatest happiness. To be tested for happiness, what is not worth it. ”

"Zifei knows the joy of fish!" Shi Zhong nodded, "I understand you, I understand what your insistence is." But the sect master, you did endure a lot of grievances for the queen, now the situation is uncertain, we are held back by the mud and cannot retreat, if we rescue the queen, we will definitely summon the mud to take crazy revenge, for the sake of Yuan Guimi and the new dynasty, we can only wronged you. ”

"How can it be said that it is a grievance, Ye'er's persistence is my belief, in troubled times, I can't just take care of my children's private feelings, everyone is patient, what is my grievance, I believe Ye'er's decision is right." Tu Qitang put the flute to his lips, slowly closed his eyes, and played Liu Ye's favorite tune.

In the blink of an eye, a few months later, Liu Ye's reaction became stronger and stronger, the child in his belly grew up day by day, and the worries in his heart increased day by day. Nimi still comes every night, as if he recognizes the reality, and no longer expects to get Liu Ye's love, he knows that he can't get her heart even if he tries his best, so he simply doesn't torture himself, at least he still has her people.

Ni Mi hugged Liu Ye to sleep peacefully, and when he heard his even breathing, Liu Ye was in tears until dawn. This seemingly peaceful day will not last long, after the birth of the child, the mud will be revealed, if before that, Feng Yan has not brought back any good news, her hope will be completely disappointed. If that's the case, what should she do? To save Yuan Guimi's life, she must abandon the new dynasty, but even if she is willing to give up, where will she and Yuan Guimi be? She can accept the incognito life, but the companions who were born and died with her will also become sinners who plot rebellion, and they will never be able to return to the homeland of the Han Dynasty!

She has lived on the grassland of Wusun for many years and worked hard for many years, her wish is to protect her family and companions, as the princess of the Han Dynasty, the queen of Wusun, if she leaves, how can she be worthy of the reputation of Princess Xie Wei through the ages? As Liu Ye, she has already been willful once, but the result is extremely miserable, she can't repeat the mistakes of the past and hurt the people she loves the most!

Tu Qi Tang, Tu Qi Tang, I am lucky to fall in love with you, but it is your misfortune! If I could turn back time, I wouldn't expect love anymore!

When I woke up in the morning, I was in a very good mood, and I hugged Liu Ye and said for a while: "...... That dream last night was a good sign, I took my sons to ride horses on the grassland, sweating under the scorching sun, and when we came back, you sat here, prepared milk tea for us, and said that my sons were pestering me again, afraid that my old body would not be able to resist tossing......"

Liu Ye listened to him quietly, thinking that it was just a dream, and it would never become a reality. Nimi couldn't see what she was thinking, but she was in a rare good mood, so she didn't care about her.

Nimi got up and put on his clothes, turned to look at Liu Ye, who was getting haggard day by day, and said unhappily: "I heard that you didn't eat well yesterday, why, the food sent by the cook is not to your liking, do you want me to kill all the cooks and change another batch?" ”

Ni Mi took people's lives at every turn to blackmail her, Liu Ye was used to it, she thought about it, and planned to take a risk: "The food is okay, I just haven't seen him for too long, and I really miss him in my heart." ”

"Oh, so you think about that unfilial son." "Queen, you should teach him well, I am his father and king, how can I be disrespectful to me!" Do you want to see him, well, I will send you later, but you must promise me that you will not do yourself any harm from now on. ”

Liu Ye's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I will, I will take care of myself." ”

Nimi leaned down and kissed her on the lips: "You must not only take care of yourself, but also our children. I promise you to spare 10,000 years, not to hold him accountable, and let him go to the horse farm to raise horses, all for the sake of the children. Don't let me down, Queen. ”

Liu Ye nodded, laughed and walked out of the yurt, Liu Ye stared at his back, wiping his mouth back and forth with a hand towel dipped in water, to wash his breath clean.

Nimi did not break his promise, and he really sent more than a dozen guards to carry her to the horse farm with a soft sedan chair. Looking at the horse farm from a distance, Liu Ye remembered the picture of Wan Nian's youth, Wan Nian has liked horses since he was a child, and often sneaked to the horse farm to ride horses when adults were not paying attention, and later followed Chang Hui to learn martial arts, and he actually practiced a good skill.

Liu Ye didn't know that the young Wannian had great ambitions, and he wanted to become a general on the battlefield like Chang Hui and take on the responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country. With the tenacity of not admitting defeat, Wannian realized his ideals, and in the years when Wusun's national strength was the strongest, Wannian also received countless praises. Whenever he returned from victory, Weng Guimi would reward him with many treasures, and the girls of the grassland would present him with the most enthusiastic singing and dancing.

If time could be frozen forever at that moment, their family would still be so happy and happy.

"Stop the car!" Liu Ye called out loudly, and the guards put down the sedan chair, helped her down, and followed behind her without hurry.

"You just wait there, I want to see him alone." When Liu Ye didn't want their mother and son to talk, there were also people watching from the side.

"Queen, the king has an order, not to leave an in......ch," the guards answered honestly.

Liu Ye laughed bitterly at herself, how could she forget that she was also a prisoner of Nimi, although Nimi promised her to see her for ten thousand years, she still had to guard against their collusion in advance to take the opportunity to escape.

Liu Ye followed them and walked into the horse farm to look for Wan Nian's figure, there was no him in the spacious and tidy stables, there was no him in the warehouse where the hay was stored, and he was not seen in the tents where the herdsmen were resting, Liu Ye couldn't help but be anxious, could it be that she was deceived by the mud? Nimi didn't let go of 10,000 years at all?

Walking and walking, Liu Ye came to the smelly horse manure heap, she took a general look, she didn't find Wan Nian there, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw someone walking over with a basket of horse manure.

Liu Ye and Wan Nian took a look at each other, and the two of them froze in place at the same time, Wan Nian had a dark face, blank eyes, chapped lips, a crooked hair tied on his head, a tattered robe on his body, and a pair of sheepskin boots on his feet were also full of holes. didn't expect Liu Ye to come, and after ten thousand years of shock, he quickly dropped the basket full of horse manure and plunged into the simple tent next to the horse manure heap.

"Wan years, ten thousand years...... Liu Ye held back his tears and choked up, "Wan Nian, don't go, come back, the queen mother wants to take a good look at you......"

"Wan Nian, I'm sorry, it's all because the queen mother has tired you and made you suffer......" General Wusun, who had infinite scenery in the past, became the lowest grade hard labor in the horse farm, although he spared him from dying, but let him taste the pain that was more difficult than death.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye's heart was like a knife, and he sat down on the ground all of a sudden, looking at the tent where he lived for ten thousand years with tears in his eyes: "Why is this happening?" Isn't it enough for God to punish me? Why punish me for 10,000 years? ”

Hearing the heartbroken crying, Wan Nian couldn't bear it, he didn't want to see her, but he didn't want her to see his down-and-out appearance.

"Queen Mother...... Wan Nian called in a trembling voice, and ran over to support Liu Ye, "Hurry up, Queen Mother, hurry up......"

"Wan Nian, ......" Liu Ye held Wan Nian's hands, but the right sleeve was empty, she reacted immediately, tears welled up again, and she shook her head desperately, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the queen mother is sorry for you...... My poor boy, I knew that today, I might as well send you back to Dahan...... The queen mother thought she could protect you, but she didn't expect to make you ......"

Liu Ye coughed violently, Wan Nian hurriedly picked her up with his left hand, slowly walked into the tent, and asked her to sit down and drink saliva: "Queen Mother, don't blame yourself, Wan Nian is sorry for you." At the beginning, I didn't listen to General Chang's dissuasion, I thought I was arrogant, and I deserved to fall into the trap of mud. I can't blame others, they all blame myself for being useless. Now it's still the queen mother suffering for me, I, I'm shameless......"

"Don't say that...... Liu Ye pulled Wan Nian's arm and looked at him distressedly, "Child, you have to be patient no matter what, the queen mother will find a way to save you." ”

Wan Nian nodded vigorously: "No, don't do anything after the queen mother, take good care of yourself, I keep this life just to start over, I believe we still have a chance to ......"

Liu Ye hurriedly made a silent gesture, signaling him not to say any more, Wan Nian comprehended, and the two looked at each other and smiled, believing that they would win one day.

After returning from the racecourse, although Liu Ye was physically and mentally exhausted, fortunately, he still had faith in Wannian and did not give up on himself. Their patience will bear fruit, and she believes they will all have a chance to do it again.

The cook sent a lot of food, Liu Ye ate it all with tears in her eyes, the more difficult the situation, the more she had to live well, and she would not give up.

"Yo ho, the king is still worried that you won't eat, so I'll just say, you won't treat yourself badly......"

Liu Ye raised his head and saw Xu Qige's snarky face.
