Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain
The Xiongnu offended the Wusun border many times, cunningly adopted roundabout tactics, and teased the Wusun army several times, which not only hit morale, but also made Liu Ye, who was in the middle of the court, worried.
After failing to sleep peacefully for several days, Liu Ye lay on the desk and fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly felt a chill attack, and couldn't help but shiver and woke up suddenly. Raising his eyes and looking around, there was no light at all, the candlesticks on the table had already burned out, and the curtain of the door had been opened by the night breeze at some point, and the cold wind poured straight in, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Liu Ye called a few guards, but no one answered, and he didn't know what was going on outside the tent now. Seeing the figures of the two guards leaning on the yurt, still maintaining a standing posture, I thought that maybe I was too tired for the past few days, and I fell asleep while standing.
Through the faint moonlight, Liu Ye groped in the dark, and finally found a candle, and suddenly, she felt a slight breathing sound around her, and this sound was not made by herself, as if there was someone else around. Thinking of this, Liu Ye's heart suddenly tightened, she looked at the figures of the guards outside the tent again, bit her lip, and rubbed the flint hard.
The moment the firelight lit up, she saw those blue eyes like the sea, which burned with presumptuousness and uninhibitedness, and even mixed with a bit of ridicule and banter.
Liu Ye chuckled in her heart, and the flint in her hand fell to the ground with a sound, she was so surprised that she couldn't even make a voice calling for help. These eyes, these eyes......
"Mrs. Right, oh, no, now you are the queen......" The other party laughed softly, and approached Liu Ye who was at a loss step by step, "Looking at your reaction, you should have remembered me, heh, it's really rare, I thought you couldn't remember who I was for a long time, but I was quite relieved to be remembered by you!" ”
"Don't come here!" Liu Ye subconsciously stepped back and reached out to touch the candlestick on the table, "Stand back, you stand back for me!" ”
"Why, I haven't seen you for many days, and you don't plan to ask me how I've been doing lately, it's an old acquaintance, how can I not even say a word of greeting when I reunite." He laughed twice, grabbed Liu Ye's wrist with one hand, stopped her intention to find the murder weapon, and deceived her to cover her, his warm lips seemed to touch her earlobe, and his tone was ambiguous, "You were still more cute in the past, I regret that I couldn't take you away at the beginning, otherwise we would already be a pair of fairy couples, how can we have troubles in the world......
"Wei Lu, you give me some respect!" Liu Ye pushed him away hard, and the candlesticks and scrolls on the table rolled to the ground, and such a big movement in the tent failed to attract the guards, so it can be seen that they were all knocked unconscious by Wei Lu.
Liu Ye was angry and anxious in his heart, but he couldn't completely anger Wei Lu at this time, in case he got a bastard, he could do anything.
"This is the forbidden place of the Wusun royal family, how did you get in?" Liu Ye changed the topic to calm each other's anger.
Wei Lu sat up and wiped the dust off his clothes: "Of course I walked in with a swagger, it's not that you don't know how capable I am, but you just keep treating me as a fool." It's a pity that my reputation was ruined at the hands of a woman, who stepped on my shoulders and climbed up, and hated to kick me into hell. The most poisonous woman's heart, who would have thought that she was as beautiful as you, but her heart was so vicious. ”
"Now that you're back, why don't you find a quiet place to live?" Liu Ye tried to persuade him to give up the idea of revenge, "I don't plan to investigate the past, and I can also treat your offense tonight as if it didn't happen." Go away, I'll act like I've never seen you. ”
"Is this what you call affection?" Wei Lu laughed sarcastically, suddenly jumped up and pushed Liu Ye to the ground, grabbed her desperately struggling arms with one hand, clasped her chin with the other, and leaned over to stare into her flustered eyes, "You have made me so miserable, don't you plan to pursue it?" In the past, you were a princess, and I didn't take you seriously, but now what if you are a queen? There is never something I can't get what I want, including you! ”
Liu Ye kept struggling under him, thinking of the itchy powder given to her by the bottle of medicine gourd on her waist, she wanted to sprinkle it all on Wei Lu, but her hands were imprisoned by him, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only let him continue to be presumptuous.
"When I was driven out of the Western Regions by the leader of the Xiling Sect like a water dog, don't you want to know how I came back? Hmph, retribution, retribution, the Xiling Sect was eradicated by the Xiling Imperial Court, it was really a happy thing, that damn sect leader thought that the power of the Xiling Sect was all over the Western Regions, and they were a vicious killer organization, as long as he gave an order, there would be countless killers to take my head. I didn't expect him to die one step earlier than me, otherwise, the person I looked for first would not be you. ”
Liu Ye didn't say anything, Wei Lu didn't know the fact that Tu Qitang was still alive, he thought that Tu Qitang died when the Xiling Sect was exterminated in the Rest Imperial Court.
"Where did you go after you left the Western Regions?" Liu Ye tried his best to keep his composure, and continued his topic, hoping to delay for some time and wait for someone to find out that there was an intruder.
"Well, you finally know how to care about me." Wei Lu let go of his hand, and instead stroked her smooth cheeks, and said with a slight smugness, "Where do you think I can go?" I like you so much that I want to be with you in my dreams, and of course I want to visit your hometown. ”
Liu Ye trembled: "You went to Dahan?" ”
"I just like smart women, do you think of anything?" Wei Lu's evil hand ran down her collar, ignoring her fierce resistance and lingering on the warmth of her chest.
"You let go, otherwise, I won't spare you." Liu Ye was embarrassed and indignant, and said loudly, "This time, you don't want to leave here alive......"
Liu Ye looked out frequently, anxiously waiting for someone to come to her rescue, but Wei Lu seemed to have seen through her intentions a long time ago, and picked her up and walked out unhurriedly.
"Do you still want to wait for someone to come and save you like you did last time? I haven't seen you for many days, but you're still so simple and cute! Since you sent someone to invite me over, how could I live up to your good intentions. Wei Lu raised his head and laughed, raised his hand and tapped the sleeping hole on her body, and walked out calmly.
When Liu Ye woke up, it was already dawn, and she recalled the last words Wei Lu said last night, and the chill in her heart gradually spread to her whole body. He said that he had been invited, but she had only recently sent Feng Yan to invite the envoy of the Han stationed in Dawan. Could it be that the new envoy is none other than Wei Lu?
But how is this possible? Wei Lu is a Huns, even if he really goes to the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for him to get close to the people in the court, and even get such an errand as the envoy of the Han Dynasty! I heard that the new envoy was personally recommended by Li Yannian, how did he gain the trust of Master Li?
Liu Ye couldn't figure out too many questions, but the current situation was critical, and she couldn't think about it anymore, so she endured the pain in her neck and raised her head to look around. It was a simple tent that could be found everywhere on the grassland, and the furnishings in the tent were simple, except for a fur-covered bed and a stool, and the small tent was full of half-man-high jars, and the smell of cured meat could be faintly smelled.
Although a lot of grain has been grown in recent years, most of them are still accustomed to the old way of life, eating mostly meat for three meals a day. A simple tent, a jar of cured meat, and beyond that, there is nothing superfluous to find.
Liu Ye could only distinguish that this was a very ordinary house, but she didn't know where she was, she sat up and found that her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and the rope was still firmly tied to the bed board at one end, unless she had the strength to carry the bed board, otherwise she couldn't go anywhere.
"Is there anyone, is there anyone......" Liu Ye was unwilling to be imprisoned here, and shouted hard, if this is where the herdsmen live, there should be others around, if she can hear her cry for help, then she will have a chance to escape from here.
Liu Ye shouted for a long time, but no one answered, her throat was so dry that it was burning out, and her voice sounded fragmented and hoarse and dull. Liu Ye felt that the bones in her whole body were scattered, and she couldn't exert any strength, she lay on the bed in despair, and couldn't help but have red eyes.
Now is the time when Wusun is in danger, she was tied up in this kind of place, the court cannot be without a king for a day, she replaces Weng Guimi in charge of the national seal, and she can't leave Wusun alone! However, how can she get rid of the demon of Wei Lu, and how can she expose his true face to the Han court!
Liu Ye continued to struggle, the ropes in her hands gradually loosened a little, she seemed to see hope, and the whole person was full of strength, she tentatively stretched her hand to her waist, a little closer to the bottle of medicinal powder, but unfortunately there was always a few millimeters short, but she couldn't reach it.
While he was working hard, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Liu Ye hurriedly lay back in place, with his hands behind his back, and reached the bottle of medicinal powder without giving up.
Wei Lu opened the curtain and saw Liu Ye with a calm face, bypassing the jar of cured meat, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her face flushed with anger.
"Has anyone ever said that you look beautiful when you're angry?" Wei Lu suddenly opened his mouth, and his tone mixed with banter sounded uncomfortable.
Of course, some people said this, when Tu Qitang was still the prince of peace, he often pestered her like a scoundrel, and the most common thing he said was that he liked to see her angry, because she was more beautiful than usual.
When Liu Ye heard Tu Qitang say that, she just felt that he was flamboyant, but when these words came out of Wei Lu's mouth, she really felt disgusting.
"Okay, you don't want to talk to me, and I don't force you, but don't you think about your husband who is struggling to support you at the border?" Wei Lu turned his head to look at her, and the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile, "Yes, I am the envoy of the Han who was invited by you, I have already seen your letter, you want me to send troops to support the border, the reason why I didn't reply in a hurry, I just waited for you to invite me!" ”
As he spoke, Wei Lu took out an official document from his arms and spread it out to Liu Ye: "This is my reply to you, as a special envoy of the Han Dynasty, I am willing to do my best to help Wusun tide over the difficulties." ”
"Of course you will do this, even if you can delay it for a while, it is impossible to delay it for too long, sooner or later the big man will receive my letter, and if you don't send troops again, you will be the one who will be embarrassed." Liu Ye sneered, "Don't think it's all for me and Wusun, in fact, you are for yourself." ”
"Say whatever you want, it's just that you underestimate me too much, I don't know the identity of the envoy of the Han at all, and I haven't thought about serving the Han for a long time. Now that my purpose has been achieved, what else do I have to care about. ”
Liu Ye was shocked in his heart: "You deceived Lord Li's trust and became the envoy of the Great Han, could it be just to take revenge on me?" Wei Lu, if you really say that, it will make people laugh out of their big teeth. ”
"If that's the case!" Wei Lu still had the official document on Liu Ye, smiled evilly, and leaned over to her, "I said, what I want, I never can't get it, no matter who you are, in my eyes, you are just a woman who is suitable for warming the bed." Conquering you gives me a thrill I've never felt before, so I'm going to get you at all costs. When I was in the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for my ability to sell horses, how could I get close to Lord Li, who was deeply favored, and easily get the envoy's errand. ”
"Alright, let's make a long story short!" Wei Lu stretched out his fingers, and his fingertips circled back and forth on Liu Ye's face, "My patience is limited, you go with me obediently, I promise to send the Han army to support Wusun, of course, you can also refuse, then I will wait to see the day when Wusun dies." I'm afraid you don't know, this time, my envoy has received a lot of benefits, I really didn't expect Dawan to be so rich, and King Dawan is so obedient. Do you think the Xiongnu got the spare strength to attack Wusun, it was all a good show carefully arranged by me! ”
"It turned out to be your ......" Liu Ye sat up excitedly, "You actually dare to ......"
"Don't be so excited...... Wei Lu patted her on the shoulder and chuckled, "Of course I can't do it alone, but my credit is not small, the king of the Hun Right Valley has long looked at Wusun unpleasantly, and he wants to swallow this piece of fat in his dreams." And I'm just an adult beauty, pushing the boat down the river to send personal favors. This time, the right valley Li King is bound to win, and it is up to you whether you can recover the disadvantage for Wusun. ”
"You despicable villain, even if I promise you, you will break your word." Liu Ye was about to get the bottle of medicinal powder, so she pretended to be calm and dealt with him.
"No, in order to show my sincerity, I even brought the official document, you see, I even stamped the seal of the Han Dynasty, how can I be a fake." Wei Lu thought for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't be like you like you to confuse the real thing, I am all real." Come on, you're all in my hands, so why should I bother with you. My princess, I won't let you go, whether you promise or refuse. I've tried so hard to stay with you without being disturbed, and if you don't have a good time, I won't have the patience to play with you. ”
Wei Lu put down the ultimatum: "I mean, you personally wrote a letter to Feng Yan, saying that you went to the border to find Weng Guimi." If you do what I say, I will naturally send troops and never break my word. Then you and I can go to a quiet place, free from the shackles of these earthly worlds, and enjoy happiness and happiness. Anyway, my proposal is very exciting! ”
Liu Ye bit his lip and tried to reach the bottle of medicinal powder, Wei Lu looked at her tangled appearance, and said with a smile: "I don't even believe it when I say it, I really fall in love with you, it turns out that falling in love with someone is what it feels like, no matter how excessive you have done to me, I can easily forgive." I promise you, after getting you, I will not abandon you, I will treat you as a lifelong partner, and you are worthy of my sincerity. ”
Saying that, Wei Lu couldn't help but kiss her on the lips, Liu Ye gritted his teeth and refused his invasion, and he didn't spare the attack and plundered the pool. Liu Ye took the opportunity to get the bottle of medicinal powder, and couldn't wait to unscrew the cap of the bottle and sprinkle it all on him.
Wei Lu opened his eyes, and his blue eyes were full of mockery: "Don't forget, I'm also half an apprentice of the poisonous scorpion, and your little tricks can't hide it from me at all." ”
"Just because you want to drug me too?" Wei Lu pulled her hand and squinted at the medicine bottle, "The contents have been replaced by me a long time ago, and you still treat it as a treasure because of it, and you have to work hard to get it." ”
Liu Ye's expression changed greatly, but he didn't expect that he had already discovered that she had this bottle of medicinal powder on her, and he deliberately pretended not to know, the purpose was to embarrass her.
"You really don't have any affection for me!" Wei Lu's eyes welled up with disappointment and anger, and he grabbed her wrist hard, shaking it back and forth, "Damn, I just confessed to you, and you still want to hurt me?" It's not enough for you to hurt me once or twice, you just have to watch me die before you stop, right? Okay, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, Liu Ye, this is all your own fault! ”
Wei Lu was like an out-of-control beast, he unbuttoned Liu Ye's clothes with his hands and roughly tore them into strips of cloth. Liu Ye screamed in horror, but it stimulated him even more to increase his strength, and after a while, Liu Ye's clothes were torn to shreds by him, and the whole person was presented in front of him without concealment.
Liu Ye curled up to avoid his scorching gaze, Wei Lu looked at her body as smooth as jade, and couldn't help but be stunned, and his consciousness was a lot clearer. If it was in the past, he would definitely not hesitate to ask for her, and want her to belong to him immediately, but now, he wants not only her person, but also her heart.
It's easy to get her body, but to get her heart, it's necessary to think long-term.
Wei Lu pulled a dirty blanket over her, looked away from her, clenched his fists secretly, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh and did not realize it, and it took a long time for him to calm down the idea that he wanted her.
He hated himself for falling in love with a ruthless and unrighteous woman, hated her for despising his sincerity, but he just couldn't ask for her in such a place, and he couldn't make her hate him.
"No one can find here, you better give me this heart!" Wei Lu returned to her previous indifference, and threw her the scroll and pen and ink for her, "Give it to me when I come back, you know how to write." ”
"You think you love me, but you're wrong...... Liu Ye said faintly behind him, "You once lost to me, you can't accept the facts." You want to conquer me just to prove that you are the winner, but you don't have more to lose. Give up, I can still act as if nothing happened and let you live. ”
"What to do, I don't need you to teach me!" Wei Lu walked out of the tent without looking back, leaving Liu Ye with a stubborn back.
