In the past twenty years, Lin Yuan has been ill, Emperor Zheng is old, and Da Zheng Grassland has been safe, and the Red Lady and Xu Lin are also eyebrows, and even the temptation of some small groups of cavalry is difficult to see.

But in the end, he died.

Lin Yuan died, and the grassland changed the sky. The red lady has the support of various ministers and elders, and there is the Molun Temple outside, and the seemingly easy succession process is not easy. No one could have imagined that the first opposition would come so quickly, and that the opposition would be so violent.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the autumn leaves slashed the grassland and the royal court rode more than a thousand irons.

......

The dragon raises its head, which is said to be the day when the dragon king in charge of clouds and rain in the sky raises his head, and from then on, the rain will gradually increase. The so-called "dragon raises its head" refers to the fact that after hibernation, the insects begin to wake up. Therefore, as the saying goes, "On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and scorpions and centipedes are exposed." Therefore, this day is also called the "Spring Dragon Festival".

The second is that the seven Nakshatras of the 28 Nakshatras in Taoism, such as Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Kei, form a complete dragon-shaped constellation, of which the Jiaosu is just like the horns of a dragon. After the spring breeze in February, the "dragon horn star" appears from the eastern horizon at dusk, so it is called "the dragon raises its head".

There is a very important custom in the east of the dragon's head, that is, to pick up the girl, that is, the mother's family to pick up the married daughter.

Usually, the eldest son of the family will do the work for him.

Qi Yu came out of the rich mansion, got on the horse and took a large team of people to his brother-in-law's house.

As soon as he got out of the alley, he met Zhang Yu, the son of the Ping'an Hou family.

The two naturally greeted each other. After the ceremony, he naturally talked about the grassland that he talked about the most recently.

Zhang Yu said: "Brother Qi is talented, I can't imagine that the Dao Sect really made a move. ”

Qi Yu's face was gloomy, and he said softly: "What if you guess? ”

Zhang Yu comforted him and said: "I heard that Uncle Qi Shishu has already given Brother Qi a job in the Hanlin Academy, and in more than ten years, even if Brother Qi can't enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he should also enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister." ”

Qi Yu smiled bitterly: "Then borrow Brother Zhang's auspicious words." ”

Zhang Yu saw that Qi Yu was not interested, so he changed the topic and said: "We are all good, no matter whether it is good or bad, we can get an errand after all, we can get an errand after decades, there is always a hope, Xiao Yu is miserable." I used to think that Xiao Yu could become Princess Qingyue's concubine, but at that time, I also regretted why the old man pushed me, and I was almost jealous of Xiao Yu. Now it seems that the old man in the family can see far. ”

Qi Yu shook his head and said: "There are heroes in this troubled world, how many generations of old sayings, what can be said is true, the chaos of the grassland has been revealed, whether you can become a hero or not, it depends on Xiao Yu's own ability, if it is not natural, there are no bones, it is, it is not to say that it is the wealth of the sky." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and sighed: "Last night, the old man said that Xiao Lie was very clever, I didn't understand, but when I heard Brother Qi say this, I understood seven or eight points." ”

Qi Yu squinted and said, "Oh? ”

Zhang Yu glanced left and right, and whispered: "This Xiao Yu went to the grassland, that is, to give the Xiao family one more road, this day is unpredictable, if a big disaster comes, it will not be cut off after all." What's more, as Brother Qi said, the chaos has been revealed, if Xiao Yu can take advantage of the situation, no matter how high he goes, he will still be surnamed Xiao after all. ”

Qi Yu sneered: "That Metropolitan Governor is not a stupid and loyal person, although the death of the Duchess of Anguo was committed by the Metropolitan Governor himself, but in the final analysis, it was forced by His Majesty, I don't believe that the Metropolitan Governor has no psychological pimples!"

Zhang Yu was shocked and whispered: "Brother Qi, be cautious, be cautious!"

Qi Yu said flatly: "Who can't see such a simple truth? It's just that His Majesty really let Xiao Yu go to the grassland, and it's hard to guess who used the means." ”

Zhang Yu calmed down, squinted his eyes and lowered his voice: "No matter whose means it is, in short, Xiao Yu went to the grassland, and the person behind the scenes must be a person with hands and eyes, and it is not our juniors' turn to worry about these things." On the contrary, the grassland is in turmoil, and there may be a war in Zhongdu, but Brother Qi has ever thought that he will make some military exploits in Zhongdu in the past? Some military exploits are close to him, and it is always more convenient to be promoted in the future. ”

Qi Yu said indifferently: "Battle merits, I, a useless scholar, don't ask for it, it's better to concentrate on doing a good job in public cultivation to be down-to-earth." ”

Zhang Yu was silent.

......

Rivers of blood flowed and stained the grasslands red.

If you look down from above, a long blood-colored belt spreads far and wide eastward from the shore of Biluo Lake.

When Akiba and the Bodhisattva Golden Body killed three hundred people, the cavalry of the royal court was defeated.

It only took a moment from the first cavalry to turn and flee to the total collapse.

They want to escape, but Akiba doesn't intend to let them go.

Like a flying Grim Reaper, he fell behind the steppe cavalry, harvesting their lives little by little.

With every step, a cavalryman fell. When Akiba kills the last cavalryman, this blood-red ribbon appears.

A long belt paved with corpses and blood.

Many people died, and they can be said to have died indirectly because of the death of one person.

That person's name is Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan is not dead, they will not come here, and they will not be killed by the half-step Akiba.

The dead themselves have passed away, leaving only pain for the living.

On the lakeside, Lin Yinping's eyes were a little frightened, and his face was even more snow-white.

Now, she is facing only Mu Bai alone.

But her fear was not directed at Mu Bai, but at the news he brought.

Mu Bai slowly raised his head and looked at the princess he had grown up with teary eyes.

She was just a lively little girl back then, and now she is also the age to be married.

When he was young, he didn't know the severity, he provoked the enemy, and was chased all the way to the grassland, thinking that he would be seriously injured and die soon, but he was saved by a grassland nobleman named Lin Yuan. Later, Lin Yuan became the Khan King of the Grassland, and he became one of the most trusted people of the Grassland King. That year, Lin Yuan had a daughter. He also became an uncle.

Later, Lin Yuan took the little princess who was already a toddler and handed it to him, and he took the little princess to practice knives.

Now the man holding the little girl is gone, often gentle and smiling, more like a man from the Central Plains Shizi is dead.

Only a lonely girl was left.

Mu Bai looked at Lin Yinping and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, mourn!"

Lin Yinping's face was instantly pale, even whiter than the fine rice paper.

The horror in his eyes turned into sorrow, and finally the sorrow turned into crystal tears and slid down.

She bit her lip tightly, shook her head constantly, and stepped back, as if she didn't want to believe it, and she couldn't believe it.

Then she bumped into someone.

Xiao Yu looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression, looking at the girl's expression as if she was trying her best to endure something.

There was not a single sound.
