Chapter 66: Huaiyuan

Li Yan drove through the vast grassland, and only saw the smoke curling from a distance, probably a village, but there were a lot of people. She didn't think about stopping, thinking about whether she could find the next village if she could make another trip. Along the way, she felt a lot of emotion, Yannan under the governance of King Zhao, although there is no Fengjing prosperous and extravagant, but every grass and tree here is very kind, so she came all the way safely, and never met the horse bandits mentioned in the book.

Time was peaceful, she sat on horseback, alone, looking back at the vast place where she came, there was no wind and rain, and there was no one coming. On the way home, the sky is vast and wild, and Li Yan suddenly misses her parents and brother in Jingzhong. It's just that the world is vast, the palace is deep, and the eyes are cold.

Fourth brother, after all, she is not a qualified royal princess, she can't do life and death lightly, and so are you, filial piety is difficult, you did wrong, but you can't regret it after all. She suddenly had a stumble in her throat, and she took a deep breath, and the ancient words fell on the boundary monument in front of her: There is wood.

Li Yan is no different from the prince in the palace study, so she is also very familiar with the region. She remembers that there is a wood grassland, the source seems to be an ancient acacia, it is said that the ancient left in the world of the sacred tree, it seems to be the previous dynasties of which great Confucian derogatory here has a feeling, Dao Yannan has a sacred tree, the sacred tree stands in the grassland I don't know how many years, personally erected a monument inscription. Later, the dynasties changed, and the grassland herdsmen were simple, and they only remembered that this place was called Youmu Grassland. It's just that the wind and rain are blowing, and I don't know how many years, this inscription is still standing in the wind and rain without being humble or arrogant, just like the great Confucian, here is the wind and bone of the Yannan Youmu grassland.

Li Yan jumped off the horse and stroked the traces left by the years, her mood was complicated, thousands of years, but after a while, no matter how many things there are, there is only this stone left, and the ancients of the year are gone. At this time, the sun is setting, and now she has to hurry up, if she doesn't take advantage of the fact that it is still early, she is afraid that she will stay in the wilderness tonight, she secretly thinks in her heart. Take off the dry food, sit down under the boundary marker, and eat it in small bites.

She ate very slowly, but suddenly her eyebrows furrowed, as if she had discovered something. Li Yan is very vigilant on weekdays, and besides, there is only wind and grass in this grassland, and when there are other abnormalities, it is very obvious. She took the horse, jumped on it, and galloped forward. As the twilight grew thicker, she was a little girl after all, and the wilderness was desolate, and she slowly lost even a little light. Fortunately, when she left Qingshi, she still carried a few night pearls in her arms, which were illuminating the front at this time.

In the moonlight, there are trees, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the green shade is like a cover, but it is already early autumn, and the trees are still full of white flowers, and the air is filled with an elegant fragrance. After all, it is a big tree, grassland and jungle, there are a lot of wild beasts, she looked at this big tree, the trunk is very thick, probably there can be resting people on it, go up and see it later, at least you can prevent wild beasts or something. It's just that when she jumped off the horse, there were many fallen flowers on the ground, which she recognized at a glance.

In the previous dynasty, a poet once said, 'The wind dances and the locust flowers fall into the royal ditch, and the mountains in the south enter the city in autumn', which is the locust tree flower. And these flowers on the ground are very familiar to her, this is a locust tree. It's just that the Fengjing locust tree blooms in April and May, and now it is autumn, and the locust tree in the woody grassland has only reached the flowering period. It was said that there was only one locust tree in Yukihara, so it must be it. Creation is magical, yin and yang are known, and seeing is really believing.

Next to the horse tree, flowers rained down on her big tree. Li Yan glanced up at the tall and dense locust tree, wondering how to climb it. She is not an ordinary lady in Beijing, when she was a child, she went up to the tree to dig birds' eggs, so she and the king of Zhou have not knelt in the Fengxian Palace. Something dripping down the tree landed on her forehead with a fishy smell. Li Yan stretched out her hand and wiped it, it was blood, it was blood, there was someone on the tree. Intuition told her that she should leave immediately now, but after all, she had good thoughts in her heart, and she didn't know if the tree was good, but after all, she couldn't die without help, it was a human life.

"Hey, are you still alive, squeak if you're alive. She shouted to the treetops, but the wind blew the leaves, but no one answered her. Li Yan accepted her fate, and the people above either fainted or just died.

Walked to the horse, took out her own gold sore medicine, hid it around her waist, and took off the big sheath, the night wind was cold, so that she could not shiver. It's just that the big guy is in the way, and she definitely can't climb the tree. Thanks to her coming to Yannan, she wears very simple clothes, and it is convenient to move.

The ancient tree in the sky went straight up to the sky, and I don't know how the injured man got up. When Li Yan finally climbed the tree, she glanced at it, and it was a tree house, and the person was lying there dressed in black, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Carefully went up to the tree house, untied the sleeves and trousers that were tied up, she kicked a few times tentatively, and saw that the man snorted in pain, it was a living one.

The man turned around in pain, allowing Li Yan to see his face. She has always been unforgettable, and she recognized the person lying on the wooden board at a glance, it was Xiao Heng, King of Zhao, Xiao Chonghua.

She hid her face and wept, how could she meet this person again. She counted her trip to Yannan carefully, but in just a few days, she had already met a prince of Daidi, the fairy of Qingqiu, and the king of Zhao Di, if she hadn't left Fengjing a long time ago, she would have thought that she was still in the palace. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she forgot for a moment that the man was still lying on the plank, until there was a staccato sound.

"Thirsty ......"

"I really owe you. She sighed, remembered the events of the previous days, went up and kicked a few more times, before relieving her anger, "I've been in the dark all day, and I don't know where I'm hurt." She turned over and over but didn't find the wound, hesitated for a long time, finally overcame the scruples in her heart, and ripped off his clothes, but was choked by the unconscious person at once.

"Xiao Chonghua, if you don't let go, I won't save you, cough cough cough ......" She was strangled and coughed, but fortunately Xiao Chonghua only let go again in an instant, Li Yan hid aside and coughed red, very annoyed in her heart. When he wakes up, he has to look good.

After she recovered herself, she saw that his bare chest was covered with scars, which were probably left by the war, and her heart was full of compassion, "I saved you for the sake of defending Yannan for the country, otherwise I would have to let you die here." As he spoke, he took out the night pearl on his body, and took out the gold sore medicine and put it on the ground.

He had a lot of wounds on his body, but one place was bleeding, and Li Yan saw an arrow thrown on the wooden board, presumably an arrow wound, and there were still a few bottles on the ground that were to be scattered on the wooden board. It is estimated that he pulled out the arrow by himself, and when he wanted to take the medicine, he had already fainted. Li Yan muttered: "Fortunately, it's me, if it's your enemy, you're afraid that you'll either bleed or break stones." ”

I opened the gold sore medicine and sprinkled the powder on the wound, but the wound was too big and bleeding, which was very scary to look at. Li Yan looked inside the tree house, although the sparrow was small, the five organs were complete, she put down the work in her hand, went in and rummaged through the cabinets, and found the bandaging supplies very easily, which made her wonder for a while if this was Xiao Chonghua's healing place, otherwise how could there be such a complete thing.

The dignified king of Zhao Di was injured and there was no one around him, which shows how difficult Yannan's defense like an iron bucket is now. Li Yan is much smaller than Xiao Chonghua, and it is very difficult to help him in, but it is not good for him to be injured by the wind outside, so she can only drag him in, so tired that she is sweating, and the foot can't restrain herself from going up and giving a few more blows.

took a quilt and rolled Xiao Chonghua up, so that she wouldn't get cold, and cleaned up the blood stains outside the tree house, she felt that she had to go down quickly, otherwise those who wanted to hurt Xiao Chonghua would definitely suspect when they saw the horses tied under the tree.

"I'm going to go down and deal with the people below for you first, you can do it yourself, I'll come back to see you later." Probing his forehead again, Li Yan tied up her trouser legs again, it was easier to go down the tree than to go up the tree, and she was already on the ground in less than a quarter of an hour. At this time, the night was already very thick, and the horses neighed lowly, but fortunately, no one came, Li Yan took the weft hat belt and lit a bonfire.

The ancient locust trees are too dense, even if she looks up, she can't see the pattern above, if it weren't for Xiao Chonghua's blood dripping down, she wouldn't have found it. However, looking at the moonlight through the gap in the locust tree, the moonlight has a different taste.

The sun rises in Yanggu, the moon rises in the abyss, the sun and the moon are not in the same sky, I don't know what the myth is? Only take advantage of the night to enjoy the moonlight of the grassland.

Li Yan was drowsy, thinking about things in her heart, and said in her heart: "Could it be a misjudgment, in fact, Xiao Chonghua's injury was just an accident, and there is no enemy?" Just when she was about to fall asleep, a sound of horses' hooves came, and she was startled, and more than a dozen horses, raising dust and ashes in the grassland at night, saw a bonfire burning under the tree, reined in the horse's reins, and stopped.

"Girl, excuse me. The leader of the dark brocade moire suit, wearing a three-foot sword at his waist, stepped forward and made a move.

"What's the matter with Brother Tai?" Li Yan was sleepy-eyed, pretending to be frightened, and her eyes under the weft hat were full of fear.

"Girl, don't be afraid, we're not bad people, I just want to ask girl, have you ever seen anyone passing by here?" they jumped off their horses and led them to look around.

"Yes—"

"Not to mention, where did that man go?" someone behind her interrupted her, obviously in a hurry.

"Glaive! When the man got drunk, he asked gently, "Please tell the girl." ”

Li Yan pointed in the direction in front of me and said, "When I arrived here in a hurry, the person seemed to be injured and walked forward, I don't know if it is the person my brother is looking for." She had seen Xiao Chonghua's amazing light skills, and in order to win the trust of others, she added: "It's just that he has done light work, and I have only seen the back." ”

"Chengying must be the master. If he didn't believe Li Yan's words, but at the moment, he believed it, Zhao Wang Xiao Chonghua was peerless, but few people knew. Several people randomly turned over and got on their horses, barely talking to Li Yan again, and the horses' hooves trampled away, leaving Li Yan with a confused face.

She covered her mouth in shock, it was Yanyun Nine Horses, and that Chengying Yanyue was the two main and deputy commanders of the Nine Horses, and the deputy general under Xiao Chonghua's seat. She took the people who came to save Xiao Chonghua away!

In this way, it seems that this place is already safe, and so many Yanyun Nine Riders will find it sooner or later. It's just that before this, she has to wait for Xiao Chonghua to wake up, and she really takes care of things for herself.

Li Yan accepted her fate, took the water bladder and dry food on the horseback, looked at the towering locust tree, and wailed in her heart.

Sure enough, it was a good place to take refuge, who would have thought that a person with such a serious arrow wound could climb such a high tree top. She must have owed Xiao Chonghua a lot in her previous life, otherwise how could she meet him.
