Chapter 102: Branches

After the Wusun army occupied the Xiongnu military camp, it was unbelievable all over the ordinary, and Weng Guimi led the troops directly into the lair of the king of Liwang in the right valley and captured him alive.

The good news of this complete victory encouraged the reinforcements of the Han and the rest of the army, and the fierce Hun cavalry was defeated to the ground, and countless casualties were inflicted. The Huns first lost the military camp, and then the king of the right valley was captured, and even the cavalry team known as one enemy and ten was almost wiped out, and the Hun commander wanted to make a comeback is simply a fool's dream.

The Xiongnu coach took Chang Hui away, just to leave a bargaining chip to save his life, and also wanted to use Chang Hui to attract more weighty chips from Wusun, if he could take the opportunity to catch Weng Guimi or Liu Ye, it would be even more worthwhile.

Weng Guimi really made up his mind, no matter what, he had to save Chang Hui, not only for Wusun, but also for Liu Ye. He knew that Chang Hui was not only a partner who fought side by side for Liu Ye, but also a relative who got along day and night, and if Chang Hui was killed in this war, the blow to Liu Ye would be incalculable. and Feng Yan, as Liu Ye's sister, she endured humiliation for Wusun, and everything she paid was obvious to all, how could he bear to let the couple who had just reaped the crystallization of love scatter, and even separated from heaven and man forever.

Under the pursuit of victory, the Xiongnu's backup army was also crushed, but the Xiongnu commander was quite cunning, relying on himself to be a member of the royal family, with supreme power and enough to resist Shan Yu's family forces, he would rather sacrifice his soldiers than sacrifice himself. However, if it is possible, the Xiongnu commander also wants to fight a turnaround, even if the Xiongnu are doomed to fail, if he can kill the king of Wusun before this, or also capture him as a prisoner, he can also give Wusun a fatal blow and save some face for the Xiongnu.

Weng Guimi learned the direction of the Xiongnu commander's escape, handed over the right valley Liwang to his subordinates, and then led a cavalry to chase out, but on the way was caught by the Xiongnu commander's trap, the mount fell into a five-meter-deep ditch, and Weng Guimi was thrown out several zhang away. The back of Weng Guimi's head hit the ground, and a sharp bamboo arrow was inserted into his abdomen, and he struggled for a long time and couldn't get up.

Seeing this, the Xiongnu commander personally appeared to capture Weng Guimi, and just when he thought it was done, more Wusun cavalry swarmed in, and if he insisted on going over, he would inevitably be captured by the other party. The Hun commander was unwilling to be defeated again, pulled out his bow and arrow and shot at Weng Guimi, since he could not capture him alive, killing him was also a credit, unexpectedly, several cavalry who came later blocked the arrow for him, the Hun commander hated his teeth, hated not to grow three heads and six arms.

Weng Guimi was almost caught by him, but fortunately the situation was very unfavorable for the Hun commander, he was afraid of a large number of reinforcements behind Weng Guimi, and he could only give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and flee in a hurry.

Reinforcements arrived in time, Weng Guimi was not captured or killed, but he was really seriously injured, and Wusun's soldiers carefully sent him back to the Wusun military camp as fast as possible. When the division saw Weng Guimi, who was seriously injured, and learned that Chang Hui's whereabouts were still unknown, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Even so, Shizhong must inform Liu Ye of the truth, the facts are in front of him, and it is impossible for him to hide them for too long.

Liu Ye went to Weng Guimi's camp to visit his injuries, and after talking with several doctors, Qing Ling personally checked his pulse and treated him.

"Qingling, can Solang's injuries be controlled?" Liu Ye changed the bloodstained bandage on the wound for Weng Guimi, and nervous and worried tears rolled in his eyes.

"For now, there is no need to worry about your life, princess, don't worry, I'll go to my grandfather, maybe he has a better way." Qing Ling frowned, although she could temporarily save Weng Guimi's life, but she was not completely sure that she could cure him.

"Ling'er, I'll go find the medicine gourd, he should be with the poisonous scorpion now, and you stay to take care of the king and the princess." Shizhong was anxious about Weng Guimi's injury, but he was also worried about Chang Hui's whereabouts, but at this time, he could only focus on the overall situation, Weng Guimi was the monarch of Wusun, and no matter what, he couldn't let him have an accident.

"Okay, then you go and come back quickly." Qing Ling explained, watched Shizhong rush out of the camp tent, and then comforted Liu Ye, "Princess, don't worry, the king will be fine." ”

Liu Ye knew that Qing Ling was comforting her, nodded with a reluctant smile, and held Weng Guimi's cold hand tightly: "Well, Solang will be fine, he has experienced so many ups and downs, and now that Wusun has won a big victory, how can he be okay!" ”

Having said that, Liu Ye has no bottom in her heart, if Weng Guimi really has three longs and two shorts, how should she face the future situation.

Qing Ling was silent, she couldn't give Liu Ye a 100% guarantee, in just a few days, she had seen many lost lives with her own eyes, and she had gradually become numb to death.

There were a few faint cries outside the tent, perhaps the soldiers of Wusun heard that Weng Guimi was seriously injured and had not woken up from a coma, and they were all worried about him.

The sky is dark again, and every night he will experience life and death again and again, Liu Ye always holds Weng Guimi's hand, as if this is the only way to keep him, let him know the way back, and not lose his way.

"Princess, I'll go get some food and come back." Qing Ling and Liu Ye stayed in Weng Guimi for several hours, and they didn't see any signs of improvement in his injuries, but they couldn't even affect Liu Ye's body because of this.

Liu Ye didn't have any appetite, so in order to keep Qingling from starving with her, he hurriedly said, "Okay, you can go!" ”

There were only Liu Ye and Weng Guimi in the camp, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, Liu Ye felt sad, let him pass the love-hate entanglement in the past, although she didn't have the feeling of love in the past, she still regarded him as a confidant and a relative. How many lives and happiness have been lost in the war, and she can't do anything but heartache.

Liu Ye remembered the moment when Tu Qitang fell into the cliff, the pain of being separated from his beloved and the sadness of being separated from his loved ones forever were unbearable. She once prayed for Tu Qitang, if Tu Qitang could live safely, she would rather give up her love and accept the arrangement of fate. Now she also has to pray to heaven for Weng Guimi, if Weng Guimi can survive this catastrophe, she is willing to give up herself and live only for Wusun and Dahan.

"Suo Lang......" Liu Ye called softly, slowly closed his eyes, and let the tears spread, "Suo Lang, please don't have anything to do, Wusun needs you, the people need you, and I also need you......"

Suddenly, his fingertips trembled slightly, Liu Ye hurriedly opened his eyes, Weng Guimi was looking at her with gentle eyes, his body was still very weak, so weak that it was difficult to move a bit, and it was extremely difficult to even move his fingers. But he still wanted to do his best to comfort the person he loved the most, and wanted to tell her in person that he was back.

When he was unconscious, he only felt that his body was gradually cold, and his consciousness was drifting farther and farther, he floated in the air with the wind, and he wanted to leave the pain of his body and go to that heaven that had no quarrel with the world, but he was like a kite, and the other end of the kite was firmly grasped by someone, so that he couldn't fly even if he wanted to.

So, he had to hover and walk back slowly, hesitating to return to the body full of pain, and it was at this moment that he saw the woman sitting beside him. Ye'er, it's his Ye'er, the person he loves the most in this life, he promised her that he would protect her for the rest of her life, and he can't break his word.

He had failed her once, and he must not let her be sad and disappointed again, his cowardice and hesitation had already made him pay a heavy price, and he had lost her love. If he fails her again, she will probably hate him for the rest of her life.

No, he can accept the fact that she doesn't love him anymore, but he can't bear her hatred, even if he can't do it in this life, love people, at least they can be a pair of lifelong confidants. He can't leave her, he can't leave her alone, the dangers of the world are up to him to face, he has to shelter her from the wind and rain, and he can't leave her selfishly before the task is completed.

Returning to his body, Weng Guimi felt the warmth of her palm, which was the power of life, and the warm current flowed into his body along his fingertips, and he regained consciousness.

It was a wonderful thing to be able to see her beautiful face again, even better than heaven. Weng Guimi was glad that he was back, and with his beloved by his side, he really had nothing else to ask for.

"Solang, are you awake...... Liu Ye exclaimed happily, staring at every subtle expression on his face, making sure that he had survived this catastrophe and that her prayer had finally come true.

Weng Guimi blinked his eyes, he didn't have the strength to speak, Liu Ye nodded excitedly: "I understand, I understand, as long as you're okay, I'll take good care of myself, let's work together, okay?" ”

Weng Guimi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, this is exactly what he wanted to say to Liu Ye, he hadn't seen him for months, Liu Ye looked a lot thinner, he didn't want her to be sad for himself, he liked to see her smile.

The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion were not found in the division, and their pair of old living treasures had always disappeared without a trace, and they were arguing over the matter of Tu Qitang, so they didn't know where to duel again. Fortunately, Weng Guimi's will to survive is very strong, and under the careful care of Qingling, his body is improving day by day.

The Xiongnu were defeated and the whole army was annihilated, and the king of the right valley took advantage of the unpreparedness to commit suicide, and the Xiongnu commander handed over Chang Hui but still could not escape punishment, and ordered the execution of the negligent commander, and asked the Han to withdraw all the Han troops stationed in the Western Regions, otherwise Chang Hui would be executed.

Shan Yu did not use Chang Hui to exchange for the tribe of Wusun, but directly negotiated with the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu were always the only ones who were most afraid of the Han Dynasty. This time he lost to Wusun, and he felt that he couldn't hold his face, and if he exchanged Chang Hui's life for money, he would be looked down upon by all the people in the Western Regions.

It was impossible for the Han to withdraw troops from the Western Regions, and Liu Ye tried his best to reconcile them, delaying Shan Yu's patience again and again, and constantly mobilizing the Han army in the Western Regions to confuse him and fight for Chang Hui's life.

After repeating this repeatedly, a few months have passed, and Weng Guimi's body has almost recovered, he is reluctant to let Liu Ye work anymore, insists on going to the court despite Qing Ling's dissuasion, and persuades Qing Ling not to let Liu Ye know that in fact, his body is not yet able to load heavy government affairs.

Feng Yan sympathized with Liu Ye's hard work, although she was the one who was most worried about Chang Hui, she never showed it, on the contrary, she often comforted Liu Ye optimistically, Chang Huifu had a big life, and he would be fine. They just had to wait, because he would never leave them.

With the support of relatives and friends, Liu Ye thinks that it is worth it even if he works hard, Weng Guimi is back to the court, Wusun has also returned to normal, and all misfortunes seem to be moving away.

The beauty who was pregnant with Weng Guimi's flesh and blood gave birth smoothly, and she gave birth to a baby boy, becoming Liu Ye's third child. Weng Guimi recognized the identity of Zhao Ziqing and Shaofu, and gave them the names Wannian and Brother Shi respectively, Liu Ye was grateful for his generosity, regarded the child born to the beauty as his own, and personally named him Yuan Guimi.

The birth of Yuan Guimi made Xu Qige a little unable to sit still, and now the Wusun Dynasty is working together to assist Weng Guimi, and Liu Ye, the mother of Wusun, can't stop it. Although Wan Nian and Di Shi are both Liu Ye's beloved children, Wan Nian's bloodline is not pure, and Di Shi is a girl, and it is not enough to become a threat to Mu Mi, but Yuan Gui Mi's bloodline is pure, and he claims to be born to Liu Ye again, if he is called king in the future, it will be what everyone wants.

The first king has passed away for many years, the Huns were defeated this time, their prestige and strength have plummeted, and Xu Qige's mother and son have long been ignored, and now there is no Xiongnu support, and their situation is even more embarrassing. Maybe many years later, the Xiongnu will be able to regain their prestige and support Nimi to succeed to the throne, but I am afraid that they will not be able to turn the tide by then, and no one can stop Weng Guimi from passing the throne to Yuan Guimi.

Liu Ye and Weng Guimi were busy with state affairs day and night, and no one had the energy to care about Xu Qige's feelings, the more Xu Qige thought about it, the more she felt that Nimi's status was threatened, and she could no longer sit idly by.

Xu Qige found Yuan Guimi's biological mother, the unfavored beauty thought that she could be a mother and a son, and regained Weng Guimi's favor with this child, but she never thought that Weng Guimi didn't even come to see him, and ordered someone to hand over the child to the queen to raise, and there has been no news since then.

Forced to be separated from her own flesh and blood, even if she is served every day, the mother can't feel at ease. But she is just an inconspicuous beauty, how can she have the ability to compete with Queen Wusun for the custody of the child. She washed her face with tears all day long, and she didn't dare to ask for the child when she wanted to see it, for fear of arousing the queen's jealousy and ending up in a different place.

"The queen named your son Yuan Guimi, and the king likes this child, and he goes to the queen's place every day to tease him for a long time." Xu Qige looked at the beauty's face and said deliberately, "This child is the same day by day, he looks more and more cute, and he is in good spirits, but he is only two months old, and he looks like a one-year-old child at first glance." ”

"That's good, as long as the queen treats him sincerely." The beauty was full of desire, and she had to change her mouth when the words came to her mouth, saying some things on the scene, she had also heard of the festival between the queen and Xu Qige, she was not so stupid, and she easily fell into the trap of Xu Qige.

"Hey, looking at your appearance, haven't you seen the child since you handed him over?" Xu Qige was unwilling to let her provocation have no effect, and continued to add oil and vinegar, "Speaking of which, the king is really ruthless, and he is also the biological mother of the child, how can he say that he will take it away, it is normal for you to stay by your side and bring it up!" He may be afraid that the child will be separated from the queen in the future, but he can't just care about the queen's feelings! Besides, even if the king can't imagine the pain of being a mother, the queen is always a woman, she has never given birth to at least a child, she has not experienced the torment of pregnancy in October, and holding someone else's child is like her own. ”

"I am satisfied that the queen can treat the child as her own." The beauty hurriedly took a stand, for fear that Xu Qige would mistakenly think that she was willing to be the queen's enemy.

"Oh, you say so on your lips, but you don't think so in your heart, I'm from here, I understand the difficulties in your heart, if anyone takes away my biological child, then I have to fight with him." Xu Qige patted the beauty on the shoulder familiarly, "Okay, don't guard against me anymore, tell you, I'm here to get along with you and the child, you may not know me as a person, I have always been a helper, although I am close to my sister as a queen, but I can't get used to her separating your mother and son." I originally thought that since she recognized Yuan Guimi as her son, she would have to take care of you, the mother, who knew that she wouldn't even let you see the child's face, which would be too much. ”

Listening to it, the beauty finally couldn't hide her emotions, and cried in front of Xu Qige: "Yuan Guimi can have a mother as noble as the queen is his creation, and with me, a humble mother, he will not be much better in the future." ”

"Look, what you said is not right, you are his biological mother, the woman of the current king, where is it humble!" Xu Qige approached her, and then said, "You must know that Yuan Guimi is the biological flesh and blood of the king, needless to say that he will be crowned king in the future, if this child is talented, it is possible to succeed to the throne and become the monarch, how can you, a mother, not care, haven't you ever thought about fighting for your family?" ”

"But now that this is the case, what can I do!" The beauty cried and shook her head, "I want to see the child, I don't care about glory and wealth......"

"Why are you so stupid, you don't care, but people care very much. The queen is loved by thousands of people, doesn't she want to occupy your children to consolidate her position, you can't be too sincere, otherwise you will suffer yourself! Xu Qige said regretfully.

"So what should I do?" The beauty looked at Xu Qige pitifully, "My family has no power, and there are no relatives who can speak in the court, I am just a helpless woman, and it is the glory of the family to be chosen by the tribe to give it to the king, what should I fight with the queen?" Everyone knows that the king only has the queen in his heart, and he doesn't care about us beauties at all, and we only give the tribe some face, even if I give birth to a son for the king, I am not qualified to ask for favor! ”

"No, you are qualified, of course you are qualified, you are Yuan Guimi's biological mother, and this child is your most advantageous weapon." Suqige smiled, "Come, I'll tell you what to do......

The beauty listened with her ears, and her beautiful willow eyebrows became tighter and tighter, could she really do this? If the matter is exposed, will she have a chance to get out of it? Yuan Guimi is her biological son, how can she do something that may harm him for her own interests! But if she doesn't do this, their mother and son will probably become strangers in the future!
