Chapters 18 to 19 vowed not to turn back
The night of the grassland is beautiful, the boundless sky is like blue-purple velvet, the twinkling stars are like gems inlaid in it, and the bright moonlight exudes a gentle light, caressing everything in the world, accompanying people to sleep quietly.
However, such a night made Weng Guimi feel deeply depressed, just like the night Liu Ye disappeared, he was confused and uneasy about the unknown future. He packed his simple luggage, led his beloved white horse, and gradually disappeared into the night under the gaze of the old virtuous king.
Weng Guimi was worried about his father, but he was even more anxious about Liu Ye's safety, although Jun Su Mi and Ubuji would not attack her and the Han craftsmen for the time being, he had to stop all this before the disaster happened. He can't come forward as King Zuoxian, what should he do?
Akiti Castle, he was going to rush to Akaya Castle overnight, and he couldn't wait to see the woman he loved. Since Liu Ye left, he has been thinking about her all the time, he loves her more than he imagined, he can want nothing, or he can become a king who seeks power and usurps the throne for her, as long as he can be with her, what are these things!
Well, he's crazy, he's completely crazy for her! He is not afraid to admit how much he loves her, whether she loves him or not, or wants to take advantage of him, it doesn't matter anymore. He wants her, he wants her to be his woman, to bear children for him, and to stay together for the rest of his life and never be separated.
He regretted that he didn't love her well, it was not easy for them to come together, it was too late for him to love her and love her, and he still had the heart to question her true feelings, if he wasn't so muddy, not so forward-looking, they wouldn't have to be separated now.
Liu Ye left the grassland, but he never left his heart, guarding the loom every day, just like guarding her every day. He had imagined the scenario of leaving everything behind to find her countless times, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.
Weng Guimi was anxious, but it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and he was finally about to see her. But would she like to see him? He hurt her, he was sorry for her, could she give him another chance to love her with his life?
"Ye'er, wait for me, this time I will never let go......"
Sending Weng Guimi away, the old sage king suddenly felt that his eyes were moist, and he couldn't escape the blame for getting this situation. Weng Guimi went this time, if he could save Liu Ye, he would have repaid her life-saving grace. However, he needs to do much more than that, he is already a dying man, for the sake of his son's future, even if he risks his life, what does it matter.
First of all, he has to deal with Ubuji and Jun Sumi to find the best excuse for Weng Guimi to escape marriage. Weng Guimi asked him what he planned to do, and he said that there was no problem, but in fact, he had no idea at all. However, he is a father who is hell-bent on protecting his son, and he has been the most feared opponent of the hunt, and he will not let Ubuji see the slightest flaw.
In the middle of the night, Ubuji woke up from his sleep, his heart beating fast, and he vaguely realized that something bad was happening. He hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes and went out to see what was going on, only to see Fuma in his cloak shaking one of his attendants desperately, shouting hoarsely.
"What do you say? You repeat, what happened to Solang? If you dare to lie to me, I'll cut off your head......"
The attendant who was shaken by her turned pale, and immediately knelt down when he saw Ubuji: "Elder, King Zuo Xian was attacked and captured by the Huns' horse bandits. The old sage king is very ill, please report to the king immediately to uphold justice. ”
Ubuji only felt dizzy for a while, but fortunately, his family stepped forward to support him, so he didn't faint. He reluctantly opened his eyes wide, took a few breaths in succession, and confirmed: "You say, Solang was captured by the Huns' horse bandits?" ”
"Yes."
"When did this happen?"
"What happened an hour ago, those horse bandits kidnapped King Zuoxian, and when we found out, it was too late to catch up, they crossed the border, we didn't dare to continue chasing, so we had to come back and explain everything to the old Xianwang."
"No, this can't be, you lie, lie......" Fuma jumped and screamed, pointing at the squire's nose and angrily reprimanding, "You are talking nonsense, Solang knows kung fu, how can he be captured by horse bandits!" If you dare to lie to me again, I'll cut you right now......"
Ubuji narrowed his eyes and looked at the attendant, he recognized him, the personal attendant who often appeared by the side of the old sage king, and he had also sold his life for the old sage king, and Weng Guimi's kung fu was learned from him. The Xiongnu's horse bandits often disturb trouble on the Wusun border, but it is not common to make trouble under the nose of Kunmo, remember the year before last when the horse farm was stolen and lost more than a dozen heavenly horses, or Weng Guimi sent an envoy to the Xiongnu to recover the stolen heavenly horses.
"Get up and speak!" Ubuji tried his best to calm himself, thought about what he said, and said, "You take me to the old virtuous king, I will ask for the details, and then report to the king." ”
Fuma's face was full of tears, and he grabbed Ubuji uncontrollably: "Grandfather, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, my Solang, he, he ......"
Fuma cried breathlessly: "How could he ...... How could it be...... I'm going with you, I'm going to find him......"
"You are waiting for my news here, if it is true, I will definitely tell the king and ask the Huns for an explanation." Ubuji's suspicions have not been confirmed, and he will not easily believe such claims.
The old king's attendant didn't say much, but took Ubuji to the horse farm where the accident occurred. The bloodstained horse farm was filled with the smell of death, and there were two corpses lying on the grass, seeing that the inferior person who was indeed dressed as a Huns, Ubuji stepped forward and turned over the corpses to examine carefully, they were covered in blood and their faces were blurred, and the cause of death was a knife wound. Ubuji pondered for a moment and touched the limbs of the corpse, judging by the stiffness, it must have been dead for an hour or two.
"Are they the horse bandits of the Huns? How many people came? ”
"There are more than twenty people in total, these two people died in the melee, and several of our people were also injured." The squire gestured to the men who were groaning in pain not far away.
Ubuji walked over and looked at his injured man, and coldly pinched someone's bandaged arm, who wailed in pain a few times, and Ubuji watched the blood seep through the gauze before shaking him off.
Ubuji didn't get any more information from the two corpses, but he couldn't prove that the squire's words were false, so he got up and looked at the empty horse farm and asked, "Why didn't King Zuo Xian go back to rest in the middle of the night?" ”
The attendant said: "King Zuo Xian went up the mountain to farm and weave cloth during the day, and went down the mountain at night to take care of the horses, which has been the case for half a month. These two days coincided with the birth of a mare, and King Zuo Xian stayed here. ”
"Where's the mare? Take me to see it! "Ubuji won't stop without seeing the mare in front of him.
The squire led him into the stable on the right, and by the moonlight Ubuji saw the mare lying on the ground panting slightly, and he crouched down and pressed the mare's high bulging belly, and did not ask anything more.
Ubuji walked out of the racecourse, his sharp eyes looking around, and he didn't miss a single useful clue. It's just that the clues he found all pointed to the horse bandits of the Huns, and even the footprints of the fight on the ground, the hoof prints of the horses, and the scattered weapons did not have anything suspicious.
He took a few steps along the chaotic hoof prints, and the direction in which the bandits fled was indeed towards the border, and he knew that it would be the same if he looked for it any longer, because this was not a fake scene.
"Is the old sage king okay? Is it inconvenient to see him now? "Ubuji still has to meet the old sage king before he can make up his mind.
"Your Excellency, please!"
The old sage king put on the armor of his youth, and when Ubuji came, he was wiping the sword that had followed him for decades.
Seeing this, Ubuji was very surprised: "What are you going to do here?" ”
"Solang was taken away by the Huns' horse bandits, didn't I tell you to report to the king, what are you doing here?" The old sage king's tone was excited, and he roared at him angrily, "This kind of trivial matter is not worth your report to the king, is it?" Okay, if you don't go, I'll go! ”
"Don't get excited, I'm about to see the king, I'm worried that you'll come over to see, you're dressed like this, shouldn't you be going to kill the Huns? Can't you wait, you're at this age, you can't fight hard with those people! "Ubuji has basically dispelled his doubts now, and the performance of the old sage king has not been negligent.
"So what, isn't it possible to wait for the king to send troops to go, when will he wait, in the territory of the Huns, my subordinates estimate that they will not last long, and if it drags on, Solang will never come back." The old sage king picked up the treasure knife and walked out, "Prepare the horse, leave immediately!" ”
"And you!" The old sage king condescended to Ubuji, "Immediately find the king to send troops to support us, I don't care what method you use, in short, you must rescue Solang, otherwise, I will not be finished with you!" ”
The old sage king threw down this sentence and brushed his sleeves away, Ubuji hung his shoulders with a sad face, looking at this situation, let alone the marriage of Fuma and Weng Guimi, the old sage king and Jun Sumi were going to be on the bar.
The attendant brought the mount of the old virtuous king and ran to the border with one hundred and eighty men, until Ubuji could no longer see them, and the attendant asked cautiously: "Master, are we really going to the Xiongnu?" This Ubuji is really cunning enough, but fortunately, we have prepared well in advance, and he finally believes it! ”
"You have to do enough to do a show, it's not bad to go around the Huns, I still have a few old acquaintances, maybe they can come in handy in the future!"
The old sage king resolutely rushed out of the boundary, and since he had taken this step, he had never thought of turning back.
Liu Ye tossed and turned all night without sleep, Shizhong disappeared for a day without news, Wei Lu's cunning guy refused to reveal the slightest rumor, Chang Hui went back to the post station to inquire about the news and has not come back yet.
Time seemed to stand still, Liu Ye didn't know if she was awake or dreaming, she looked out the window intently, after a long time, the night sky was still dark, and the longing sunshine did not appear for a long time. The people who live there may have adapted to the phenomenon of eternal night and eternal day at the north and south poles of the earth, but for those who are accustomed to sunrise and sunset, eternal night is like a bottomless whirlpool, a nightmare that will never wake up.
Liu Ye's thoughts were ethereal, and she remembered many things, from her obscure past life to her bumpy and turbulent present life, those clips were like a movie, scene by scene. There is laughter, there are tears, there is joy, there is pain, there is sweetness, there is sadness......
However, the memories were frozen in him, the gentle prairie man, who always reached out to her when she was lonely and helpless, and always brought her the strength to settle down. That night in Moon Bay, she felt lonely and cold like never before, and it was his broad chest that gave her warmth and courage.
Throughout the ages, political marriages are usually not happy, but Liu Ye met him, and she felt lucky and happy. Staying with her beloved for a lifetime is the greatest happiness in the world, and this person can not only give her all her love, but also bring good news to her country, giving him infinite support and trust, Liu Ye feels that her luck is really not ordinary.
However, such a good person is about to get married, and his bride is not her.
Liu Ye remembered the sentence of the popular song, what beloved man is married, the bride is not me, or the dear girl is married, and the groom is not me. In the past, she felt very hypocritical when she heard these lyrics, the former lovers left you to marry someone else and married someone else, what else is so sad, if you don't love it, you don't love it, you beg grandpa to tell grandma that he can't come back, why let yourself be so miserable, thinking about people who have changed their minds all day long.
But now Liu Ye is also such a hypocritical person, she knows that Weng Guimi and Fuma will get married in a few days, but she still can't help but think of him. In fact, she thinks about him all the time and has never forgotten him. She always thought that he loved her, and giving up on her was a last resort, and he was also very painful and sad, but helpless. Under all kinds of pressure, he can only be with Fuma, but he will always love her in his heart.
What a ridiculous and ridiculous self-consolation! Liu Ye shook her head self-deprecatingly, sour tears fell quietly, wetting her long hair, embroidered with a pillow towel of mandarin ducks playing in the water. He is about to hug other women to play in the water, she is still looking for excuses to excuse him, it turns out that she is also a woman who is easily injured, and she will also be obsessed with love without regrets.
Love drives people crazy, and she is that hopelessly madman.
The boundless darkness of "Solang ......" incarnates the devil who seduces you to the darkness and depravity, and it makes you feel what it is like to be miserable.
Liu Ye couldn't help but whisper, the bitterly suppressed love fire in her body had a tendency to rekindle, and it would burn her to the ground. She forced herself not to want him not to miss him, she looked forward to the dawn, of course not the dawn of the heavenly king.
She needs a ray of sunshine to drive away the sinking darkness, to dispel the helpless coldness that she can't love, she doesn't want to be so useless, struggling and suffering for a man who doesn't love her.
"Da Da ......" "Da Da ......"
Such a familiar voice, she also heard this voice at night in Moon Bay, and then, she saw him. At the time she thought it was a dream, and he couldn't have found her in the endless grassland, but he did come, and he gave her an unforgettable night.
So, is this another dream?
Liu Ye flipped over and looked at the night sky, trying to hear the voice clearly.
"Da Da ......" "Da Da ......"
Liu Ye's heart suddenly tightened, she couldn't believe it was true, she felt that she was crazy, so she had auditory hallucinations. But the sound of horses' hooves striking her heart more and more clearly, and she sat up, leaning her back against the wall, her hands on her chest, trying to calm her beating heart, staring at the open window.
Could it be him? He's coming for her? Is this true? But how is that possible? He's obviously about to get married! Besides, how did he know where she lived? He is not afraid that the old sage king will cut off the father-son relationship with him?
Nothing is impossible! The oppression of being married made him realize his true heart, he loved her and couldn't do without her, he couldn't hug other women, so he came! He was so eager to see her that he did everything he could to find out her whereabouts, so here he was! He valued her as more important than his own life, and he would rather leave the family and leave the grassland, so here he is!
Liu Ye's heart was pounding, would her vision come true? Is his love for her really so deep? It's like a gamble, if he does come tonight, she won't care about anything, she's going to be his woman! If this was just her hallucination, she would have completely forgotten about him from now on and would never think about him again!
Liu Ye fumbled out of bed and walked barefoot to the door, the bluestone floor was cold and hard, giving her a strong sense of realism. Open this door and get the answers she wants, whether he's there or not.
"Squeak......" Liu Ye held her breath and gently pushed open the door, like the moonlight pouring in, she could see clearly that there was no figure in the empty courtyard.
He still didn't come after all, it was her hallucination, it was just a hallucination, it was time for her to come out. Cut off the last trace of nostalgia in your heart and really come out!
Liu Ye closed his eyes and sighed lightly, yes, what else does she have to be nostalgic for! From the moment he made his choice, there would be no future between them. He has the right to choose the life he wants, and neither does she, there is no need for them to be entangled, let go of each other, take a step back and open the sky!
"Ye'er ......"
Who's calling her? Liu Ye's heart was about to jump out, this was clearly his voice, could it be that she had auditory hallucinations again?
"Ye'er, is that you?" His voice trembled slightly, with incredible excitement, indescribable ecstasy.
Liu Ye slowly opened his eyes, the courtyard that was originally empty, the man and the horse in the corner walked into the moonlight, the white horse was tall and mighty, poking his head at her in a friendly way, and the man holding the reins was looking at her stupidly, his gentle eyes were full of love.
"Suo Lang......" Liu Ye heard her own voice, it didn't feel real, she involuntarily walked towards him, stared at the eyes that gave her warmth and strength, and said in a trembling voice, "Solang, are you here?" ”
"Ye'er, I'm here!" Weng Guimi threw off the reins, rushed to her as fast as he could, opened his arms and hugged her tightly into his arms, hating to rub her soft body into his body, and never to be separated again, "Ye'er, I'm here...... I'm your Solang, I'm coming...... I'm sorry, I'm late again this time, I always ask you to wait, I'm not qualified to love you...... But I love you so much, I love you so much that I lose my mind......"
Liu Ye felt his violently undulating chest, his scorching body was like a fire, fine beads of sweat mixed with the freshness of the grass, she was completely enveloped by his breath, and she also lost her mind.
"Solang, I love you......" Liu Ye stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss his lips, her trembling body trembling weakly in his arms with excitement......
