Chapter 001: Bangzi

Next Chapter

That night, the night was like practice, and a bright moon hung high in the desert.

Towards the second watch, there were only a dozen young guards with knives wearing felt hats and robes in the entire palace, who were on duty outside my big tent, walking back and forth from time to time.

After all, it has been some time since I returned to the palace from my second aunt's palace. But it was these few days back at the palace that made my mood upset.

During the day, I had an argument with my father over the choice of a colt.

"Suluo, my princess, you are seventeen years old this year, it's time to get married!"

"Father, I don't want to get married yet, I want to guard you for the rest of my life."

"How can a princess reach the age of seventeen, and she still has to guard her father for a lifetime, you are a child, once you have a sweetheart, you will not think of your father again!"

"Father, Su Luo won't, Su Luo won't like others."

I leaned on my father's side and coquettishly with him.

My father's face was full of fat, and when he spoke, the flesh trembled, but I liked him like this, and I liked to see the fat on his face tremble.

I don't know which prince and minister I believed at the instigation, but my father is now bent on choosing a son-in-law for me, and he is trying to choose a son-in-law for me from among the children of the family.

But I don't think I'm too young to get married. But as a princess of the royal family, it is almost impossible to control your own destiny.

So, I decided to leave the Desert Palace without permission and go to the border alone, wandering the rivers and lakes.

Suffering from the fact that I had no man's clothes, I had to pin this hope on my maidservant. She had always been ingenious, and it was more than enough to steal one or two men's clothes from the palace.

As I put on my man's clothes, the grasshopper looked me up and down earnestly.

"Princess, are you sure you really want to leave the palace?" The grasshopper asked me in a low voice.

We grew up drinking mare's milk together on the grassland, so the grasshopper knows my mind best.

"I don't know if my father beat that I heard that there is such a horse, but I don't know if he has two heads or three heads and six arms on his head, so he must be stuffed for me, and I will marry anyone, so I won't do it!"

"Princess, how can there be a two-headed colt, it is a two-headed eagle. So what kind of colt do you want? ”

"If you can be close to my heart and understand my mind, and, also, I don't know."

Listening to the grasshopper's question, I suddenly felt that I was just imagining what the future colt would look like in my mind, and I really had no idea what kind of person I could find to be my husband in the future.

Seventeen years old, although it is the age when a girl's love is first opened, but she hasn't met that person yet, how do you know?

But what girl is at this age and doesn't want to meet a prince charming who can make her love!

"Grasshopper, what about you? Have you ever thought about your husband? ”

"Oh, princess, shame, shame! Say no more! ”

The grasshopper is a year older than me, is it possible that I don't understand it better than me? Did she really think about anything in her heart?

"Grasshopper, don't you really think about it?"

I tilted my head and asked her, but she just covered her face and didn't answer. Anyway, the gnats have always been honest, and I know that she will definitely not lie to me, maybe I am more sensitive than her!

Because our top and bottom are concentric, colluding as one. So, after distracting the palace guards, Gnats and I finally took the two horses to a far away place from the palace tent.

Heaven and earth are vast.

Really, we don't know where we're going. If at this moment, go to the relatives in the palace to stay there, you will undoubtedly fall into the net.

We galloped along a southbound avenue. When it was almost the fourth watch, he finally came to a ruined wall.

The grasshopper brought out the prepared beef and mare's milk wine, and we ate and drank. Because of the excessive fatigue of our bodies, we wrapped ourselves in thick clothes and slowly fell asleep.

"Hurry up, look everywhere!"

"Hurry up!"

"Maybe it's nearby!"

Suddenly, I was awakened by a noisy sound, and I looked around, only to see that not far away, torches lit up the night, as if I was looking for someone.

I rubbed my eyes and reached for the already asleep gnats.

"Grasshopper, wake up, Grasshopper, wake up!"

"Who's pushing me?"

"Ahh

"Ahh

The first "ah" is my voice. The second "ah" is the sound of a grasshopper.

"Ahh

The third "ah" is the voice of a young man.

Although the voices of the three people were not very loud, I was stunned at the same time as the grasshopper.

Where we slept, there was a young man in tattered clothes.

"You're so annoying, I just fell asleep, I had a good night's sleep, and I was woken up by you!"

"Who are you? How to sleep here? Hurry up, or I'll send you to death! The words of the gnats came out in a series of questions.

It's just that the man feels unhurried.

"I haven't asked you yet! This day is my home, and the earth is my home, how did you occupy the place where I slept? Also, did those who carry torches come to you? ”

When I heard this, it was as if I understood something at once. The place where we slept was indeed artificially dug up traces of the earth's nest, but I didn't expect it to be this person's home?

"Then why did you sleep here, and why did you sleep next to us?"

"I'm stupid on such a cold night! Someone occupies my dirt nest, and instead of squeezing it, I have to go outside to find a place to sleep. Also, I haven't provoked anyone, those people are 100% coming at you, say, what's the good of helping you? ”

"The benefits? Do you still need benefits to help us? ”

"Of course, if I stand up and shout twice, those people will come right now!"

Why do I think that I was coerced and lured by someone when I went out!

"And what do you want?" I asked.

Listening to the voice, it felt like the man was about the same age as us.

"Beef, and your mare's milk wine."

After speaking, he himself seemed to be impatient, and immediately took out the beef in his arms, and the mare's milk wine tied to his body, and ate and drank.

The grasshopper took a closer look, staring at the wine and beef in his hand.

"Stinky boy, you shouldn't have taken our wine and meat, did you?" After that, the grasshopper got up and went to check the horse's bags.

"Don't look at it, didn't you just say okay? These are yours, and now mine, and I've already said hello to you! In this way, I am still a gentleman, and a gentleman loves to eat meat, and he takes it in a proper way. ”

It's night, but I feel like there must be sparks in the grasshopper's eyes!

I must stop the outbreak of this small war. Now, our only goal is to get out as quickly and safely as possible.

"Don't worry about him, don't worry about him, the wine and meat will be yours. The problem is, you have to lure those people far away. ”

The young man looked up at me.

"Well, this girl is talking decently, I'll go and get them away, but I'll leave my food here first, and you'll have to wait for me to come back!" If there's one less piece of meat, I'll settle accounts with you when I come back. ”

After saying that, he took out the knife in his arms, slashed it into the air a few times, and when he left, he didn't forget to glare at me fiercely.

Then, he flew over a foal that was sleeping next to him.

"Gotcha, drive! Whoa, whoa, whoa! ”

He raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly as he ran wildly to the opposite of us.

Sure enough, the crowd of people who were holding the fire were quickly attracted by his voice. After a while, the noise faded away.

"Princess, the pursuers are gone! Are we going to wait for that stinky boy to come back? "The grasshopper asked me.

"Thirty-six plans, go is the best policy, what are you waiting for him to do, I don't know who it is. The beef and wine were left for him, and we had better hurry up and get away. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I got up and packed my bags.

"Great!" The gnats also hurriedly got up.

Along an illegible avenue, the gnats and I rode back into the darkness of the night.
