Chapter 61: Yannan
Chapter 61: Yannan
Saibei Yannan, the vast grassland, endless, heaven-given dome, covering the four wilds, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low.
The huqin sounds, melodious and beautiful, and has the unique style of Saibei in the thickness. It's just that Yannan is vast and sparsely populated, and the girl on horseback soon didn't hear the unique sound of the piano anymore, and looked in the direction of regretful exchanges.
The scenery of the north is magnificent, far from being comparable to the plumbing and mountain temperature in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Yan was a little regretful, turned over and jumped off the horse, this is a skill she has always learned. Yannan is vast, when she first arrived at the royal court, the nomads here saw that she was small, and they were reluctant to sell her horses, and then a grandmother saw that she was really pitiful, so she brought out the foal in the family.
Li Yan now thinks of Wang Ting's aunt's expression, and she doesn't feel it. Fengjing is prosperous, the imperial palace is deep, but she can't stop her wanton heart, she has also beaten the horse in front of the royal drive, and galloped in the forest garden.
The pony neighed, Li Yan looked up at the blue sky, the direct sunlight was a little dazzling, and she subconsciously closed her eyes. It is now the autumn of the nineteenth year of Jian'an, she has only been away from Jiangnan for more than a month, and her sister-in-law has passed away for half a year.
She was thinking about it, but the horse was making a fuss at this time, and Li Yan was holding the reins, a little uncontrollable. "Girl, careful horse, the hero of the steppe doesn't like you to snub it like this. ”
The voice was clear, and there was a slight smile in his tone. Before Li Yan's reaction could be realized, she felt that the reins in her hand were empty, and they returned to her hands in a moment, and she looked up.
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. She had seen this young man in Xuanyi in front of her. Under the peach blossom tree in Fengjing Zhao's mansion, she had seen this kind of world-class elegance, but at that time he was cold and arrogant, not at all as hearty as she saw today. He didn't seem to recognize her, Li Yan subconsciously touched his face, and then he suddenly understood.
When she was young, she broke through the rivers and lakes with her brother Xiu for a few months, when the rivers and lakes were in a hurry, and she rescued an old man casually, who was actually a wonderful hand in Xinglin, and then she has been worshipping under the door of Li Xiu, the king of Zhou. Soon after the beginning of the year, the king of Zhou was ambushed, and the old man was about to leave, so he gave Li Yan a mask, light as silk, which was like his own face when he wore it, and he could not remove it unless he used special medicine. If it weren't for that, how would Empress Xie let her leave the palace.
She is now just an orphan girl wandering in the rivers and lakes, not the emperor daughter of Daqin, but the young man in Xuanyi in front of her, he is Xiao Heng, the king of Zhao of Daqin, Xiao Chonghua.
Xiao Chonghua has always been steady, and he is a person who does not speak much, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige in the army, but today he met a girl in the wasteland, looking at the appearance of only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her appearance is also very ordinary. He has never forgotten it, and the girl in front of him is very imposing, so he must know it in his chest, since there is no impression in his memory, he thinks he thinks too much.
I just saw her contemplative appearance, as if she knew him. "Girl, girl, I haven't seen the scenery of Yannan yet, why did you start to stay first?"
Li Yan came back to her senses at this time, she and Xiao Chonghua were just one side, and many things were hearsay. It's just that Xiao Chonghua's sister-in-law Xiao Zhuohua is her companion, and she also has a kind of respect for Xiao Chonghua in her bones, so when she saw him teasing herself, she replied casually: "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, such magnificent rivers and mountains, how can you say that you haven't seen the scenery of Yannan, every step is a scene." ”
"You're not afraid of me?" Xiao Chonghua smiled, but he didn't smile, his eyes were deep, and he glanced at Li Yan.
Li Yan sneered, tilted her head and asked, "Why should I be afraid of you?" If you talk about identity, she is a royal noble, and King Zhao is a monarch and minister, so there is no need to be afraid. What's more, now that she doesn't know Xiao Chonghua, she has no way of knowing his identity, so how can she be afraid?
"What's your name?"
"Xie Yaoyao, what advice does Your Excellency have?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Chonghua. She didn't lie to him, it was her nickname, and not many people knew it, and the source of her surname was naturally Empress Xie of the Middle Palace.
"Yaoyao, Yao, the beauty of stone. Xiao Chonghua asked rhetorically, with rare interest, "The family has high hopes, look at your girl's style, you are also worthy of this name." ”
Li Yan glanced at him, picked up a dead branch that was discarded on the ground, and carved it one by one. It was clear that she had never known each other, but she was so stubborn in her heart that she wanted to tell her name to this King Zhao, whom she had only met once.
"Peach, scorching Qihua, I have a sister named Zhuohua, if you and her are destined to meet, the same name will be able to become two sisters, but-" Xiao Chonghua and Xiao Zhuohua actually do not have a deep intersection, he has been Zhuohua for many years, and has been stationed in Yannan all the year round, occasionally returning to Beijing, Zhuohua is in the deep palace again, the brother and sister are also unfamiliar, but after all, they are close relatives, he still has a trace of pity for Xiao Zhuohua, he thought of his sister, and looked at the little girl in front of him, and the end of the note changed: "My sister is scorching, but you can't be it" Young' one. ”
It was very unkind to talk like this, but he felt in his heart that he didn't like to use the name on other women. It's all very lingering.
Li Yan no longer entangled with him, but her impression of this King Zhao was more than a little worse in her heart, "The body is the parents who receive the husband, not to mention the name is given by the parents." People in the world are pedantic, and they think about their meanings, and so do the laity. ”
"I am a son of a worldly family, even so, I have the fate to say goodbye and say goodbye. "He tiptoed a little, like a gust of wind in the grassland, coming and going without a trace, "The scenery of the north is more than that." ”
Li Yan could only hear the last note of his words, and when she turned around, she only saw the black between her clothes. She thought indignantly, it's better not to see her again, the scenery of Yannan is infinitely good, and she can naturally go if she has hands and feet.
It's just that there are many talented people in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where King Zhao is apprenticed, and he has learned light skills so much, if she didn't know him, I'm afraid that this person would be regarded as a god. It's just that thinking of this, Li Yan was relieved, she only came to Yannan for a while, but Xiao Chonghua, the king of Zhao, had heard a lot, in the Yannan grassland, they had never seen miracles, but Xiao Chonghua was the god in their hearts.
Yannan is located in the north of Daqin, and Saibei and Saibei are worthy of the name. The bitter cold in the north, harassed by the Rongdi in the north every day, it was the king of Zhao who led the army to protect their homeland, so that they can now live and work in peace and contentment. The people of Yannan, to put it mildly, they don't know who His Majesty the emperor is now, but they know Xiao Heng, the king of Zhao.
Since ancient times, the master has never had a good end. Li Yan thought, her prince brother, Ming Jun demeanor, if she meets King Zhao in the future, it will definitely be a meeting between the mountains and rivers, the meeting of the monarch and the minister, and the wind and clouds, will definitely be able to achieve a good story, and there will be no scene of the monarch and the minister fighting.
She led the foal, tread on the soft grassland, crossed a small river, and the sun passed in the west, and it was a little cold. Yannan in autumn, it was very cold in the evening, which made Li Yan, who had just come back from Jiangnan, very uncomfortable, but she had already purchased clothes in advance when she entered Yannan, and hurriedly put on the big coat, which relieved a lot of cold.
She turned over and was about to get on the horse, when she saw a snow-white rabbit nested under the foal, very fat, and sighed that it was really a rabbit raised on the grassland, which was different from what she had seen in Jiangnan. Li Yan lowered her head, touched the rabbit's head, and said with a smile: "Little rabbit, go back quickly, it will be colder in a while, let's go." ”
So I was not nostalgic, the more I got on the horse, the reins were one, and the neighing of horses came from the grassland, and I saw a little girl disappear in front of me from a distance. The rabbit, which had been left in place and eaten a dusty patch, did not know whether it was dumbfounded, or if it was asleep, and it did not move.
Li Yan quickly whipped her horse, galloping along the way, and finally saw a family when it was dark, tied the horse to the trunk of a tree, she looked around, it was a big forest, and she didn't know who the family in front of her was, only to see that the roof was covered with thatch, and there was cooking smoke curling in the house, thinking that it was Li Min here.
It's just that the earth is dark, and the future is unknown, Li Yan sighed, if she let her brother and parents know, she would not be able to agree to be so hasty. Thinking of home, she smiled. When she went out, the people she brought with her, Huhu Hehe, were very many, but she avoided them one by one, and only sent a letter of peace to her home in an irregular place every month. Now she really looks like a chivalrous woman in the excerpts of the show, leaning on the building to listen to the wind and rain, and walking the rivers and lakes with a sword, fast.
When she knocked on the door, she thought about a lot of scenes, what kind of people would be inside, maybe it was a herdsman couple, young and old, and she never thought that after opening the door, she looked up at such a young man.
Tsing Yi Hua hair, extraordinary appearance, coincided with the wind of the jade tree, as if he came out of a painting, he must not be from Yannan, Li Yan thought to herself. The people of Yannan are rude, and the people here are also tall and strong, and the young man in front of him is too much like the beautiful son of the world raised by Fengjing.
It's just that this appearance is jade, and she can't say it's strange. "This son, so familiar, where do you seem to have seen it?"
Because of her words, the young man in Tsing Yi on the other side smiled, and the smile spread on his face, which was very good-looking. "Anyone who has seen me has said so. ”
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Estimating that her words were a little abrupt, Li Yan instantly understood the middle of his words, and her face was slightly red, she was born in the royal family, and how many beauties she had seen, naturally she didn't mean to flirt with people at will, but she simply felt that this person was very familiar, as if she had known each other in her previous life. "The night is dark and the wind is high, I wonder if I can spend the night?"
"Lonely men and widows, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. The man politely refused, and his face was embarrassed.
"Children of the rivers and lakes, don't be informal, thank your brother for taking him in. Li Yan thought of the deep forest outside, and made up her mind that she would stay behind.
Seeing her insistence, the man glanced at the sky outside, sighed, but did not refuse again, and quietly put the three-foot Qingfeng sword at his waist into the sheath.
