Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches 134: Seeking
The night faded, and the dawn of the morning dispelled the mist and shone on the whole world inch by inch.
Walking through the mountains and rocks in the small courtyard, Xu Cheng sent Zhang Yan and Timirona to the door, "It will be about indefinite after this time." She smiled and said, "Please cherish each other after you go." ”
"Sister Queen," Xiao Mingniang took Xu Cheng's hand and said with a raised face, "Remember to come to see Mingniang in the future." ”
Zhang Yan smiled, bent down and touched Ming Niang's cheek, and suddenly thought, if she and Liu Ying can finally become a loving couple in the future and give birth to a little daughter, is it as cute as Ming Niang?
Hmm, she laughed at herself, you still have a long way to go, speaking of which, she is only a half-grown child, where can she learn to be a mother?
"Ah Yan," Timilona took her hand and walked back along the Weishui River, suddenly looking at her and asking, "There is something I wanted to ask you last night, and I will forget it when I see you asleep." I thought that women like us, who had crossed over from the afterlife, would not be willing to marry others. I don't value love myself, so forget it. What about you? Although you love Emperor Han deeply, can you be willing to endure sharing a husband with other women? ”
Zhang Yan looked back, not far away, Xu Ying's courtyard had slowly been hidden in the fog, disappeared from the traces, and was empty, as if he had never been in it all night.
She then took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I never intended to share a husband with anyone. ”
"Never."
"Huh." Timirona smiled, "Don't tell me that there are no other concubines in Weiyang Palace today. ”
Zhang Yan shook her head and said gently, "The love that loves each other deeply and exclusively is my purpose, not a condition. ”
"What do you mean?" Artie was puzzled.
Zhang Yanyan said, "You also said it?" The world has its own rules, customs. and ideas. I couldn't shake it, so I had to admit it and try it again. Don't say that the person I love is the emperor, in this era, which man doesn't regard three wives and four concubines as a matter of course. My father, the eldest princess of Emperor Suoshang, was His Majesty's sister and sister, and the husband and wife were affectionate, but he also had more than one concubine, which was not thought of by the people. Even if I marry another man, I will face this problem. Love me much. Can you promise never to take a concubine to marry in the future? Although the Han Dynasty is not as particular as the women of later generations, I am a woman for everyone, and it is impossible for me to soak outside all the time. I used to be close to my uncle. It's just three or four times a month. ”
"I don't believe in love at first sight. Feelings, that's there. But without the opportunity to rely on each other, there is no further possibility. If Liu Ying first promised not to take a concubine before marrying, not to mention whether he would regret changing his hexagram in the long years to come, our age would also be ruined. ”
"And. After all, he is the emperor, and it is impossible for the emperor not to be an empress when he is twenty years old. If I hadn't married back then, then the Han still has so many heroes and nobles, and the heroes have their daughters, and the queen doesn't have to be me. And I, on the other hand, had to be him. I was thirteen when I married him, and you think I don't want to wait a few more years. At least fifteen or sixteen years old, can you remarry when you are in love? I can't wait. After all, only the empress is the emperor's wife. If I hadn't married, he would have married someone else and spent time with him day and night. He will not have feelings for him. Even if not, and in the future, I really love him to the point that I have to be. If he already has a wife, does the waster hurt people's feelings? He is a merciful man of heart, and he will not bear to do it. ”
"So," Zhang Yan raised her chin, "since I have identified him, I naturally want to occupy the position of queen first, and then, as a wife, let him get used to my company, and then, love me, and refuse to look down on others." Let him be the only one for me first, and then marry. Or marry him first, and then let him love me and understand me in the years to come. Three thousand weak water, only one scoop is taken. I treated him with this heart. and that he should treat me with this heart. Never changed. It's just that the times are different, so the way has changed. ”
Timilona was dizzy when she heard this, suddenly smiled, patted Zhang Yan's face and sighed, "Who said that Ah Yan is still a child?" In fact, your heart is very measured, and no one is as shrewd as you. ”
"It's just that you really don't think about it," she approached Zhang Yan's side and quietly bit her ear and said, "Seduce him with aphrodisiacs?" ”
Zhang Yan glared at her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "I'll think about it." ”
"Uh-" Artie was deliberately teasing, but seeing that Zhang Yan really responded, he couldn't react, and after a while, Fang laughed and clapped his hands, "Isn't this interesting?" Ah Yan, you don't have to be afraid, you are so beautiful, no man will be willing to refuse. ”
"Oh, Artie," said one of the men suddenly, "what do you mean by that?" ”
A group of people came out of the reeds on the bank of the Weishui River, the first one was wearing a dark coat and felt hat, with a capable and rough face, a whisker on his lips, and he stood with his hands in his hands, quite a momentum of not being angry but mighty.
Artie shrunk her shoulders slightly and whispered, "Maudun." ”
Zhang Yan was also stunned.
In the territory of the Han people, countless soldiers of the Northern Army searched for the missing girl along the Weishui River, and in the end, it was a group of Huns who found them first.
Zhang Yan was annoyed, but it was undeniable that she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It's true that she has a deep friendship with Luo Mi, but she is also the queen of the Han Dynasty in the end. Maudun is the British lord of the Huns today, and Timirona has some scientific and technological knowledge and advanced vision in later generations. They are all irreplaceable figures of the Huns. Now he is so bold that he sneaks into the Han realm, if he is captured. Then the Xiongnu will have civil strife, and in the future, the Han will deal with the Xiongnu, and it will have twice the result with half the effort.
If the Han army found her first, would she identify Timirona and send people to hunt down a group of Maodun people on the banks of the Weishui River?
Since leaving Xu Ying's hut, Zhang Yan has been hesitating.
If she betrayed Timirona, she would have betrayed the friendship. But if she really wants to swallow this secret, is she betraying her responsibility as a queen, and then can't live with the beloved Liu Ying?
Before her hesitation was decided, she met a group of Maodun first.
Then, at least, she doesn't have to make a choice. All she needed to do was for Zhang Yan to slowly retreat to the Weishui River without a trace.
- Wait a while, just run for your life.
"Shan Yu." Artie made a Hun salute.
Maudun nodded, not asking where she had gone that night. Thousands of men and horses on the Han and Hungarian sides were busy all night without finding a trace, but said, "There are a large number of Han troops assembled on both sides of the Weishui River. Now that we have found the Ati Clan, we should not stay any longer. There were our horses tied to the forest over there, and everyone immediately turned back to the Huns. ”
"No."
He pulled his lips and smiled slightly, turned his face, faced the rising sun, and glanced at Zhang Yan who was standing in the water.
This year, Zhang Yan claimed to be fourteen years old, because she was tied with a man's hairstyle. It looks like he is only eleven or twelve years old, and he is even more slender and thin in the hands of the naturally strong Huns. But his appearance is good, like a spring mountain. The skin is also as clear as jade.
Mao Dun was slightly surprised, and asked with a smile, "Who is this little boy?" Well, this place is desolate, but do you want me to give you a ride? "Step forward.
"Don't dare to be." Zhang Yanyan laughed. "It's just a matter of beauty. I don't dare to take it. When Mao Dun was still a few feet away from him, he turned around and jumped into the Weishui River for the second time cleanly.
With a plop, a string of bubbles bubbled up in the cold river water, and Mao was stunned and hurriedly caught up, but Zhang Yan had already swam to a place some distance away from the river bank.
"Cunning man." Egovt stomped his foot and sighed. "If we were on the shore, he wouldn't be able to outrun us."
The Huns did not know the nature of water, if they jumped into the water. They can only stare dryly.
Mao Dun hugged his elbows, looking at Zhang Yan's wandering figure getting farther and farther away, Fang turned around and asked, "Who is that girl?" ”
Timilona was stunned and smiled. "Did you see that she was a girl?"
"If I can't even distinguish between men and women, I will be in vain for so many years?" Maudon said proudly. "The Han people are looking for her so aggressively, they are not ordinary people. And you spent the night with her, you know her? ”
Artie was stunned for a moment, then looked up to provoke him, "It's okay to say. She is Zhang Yan, who you once asked for marriage but didn't get, and later became the queen of the Han Dynasty. ”
"She?" Mao was stunned.
"How?" Although he didn't have real feelings, but in front of him, Mao Dun paid attention to another girl, although that girl was his friend, Artie couldn't help but be a little pantothenic, "Shan Yu regretted it?" ”
Mao Dun no longer looked back, walked to the horse in the forest, and muttered, "At the beginning, Liu Chu boasted that her beauty was worse than Zhang Yan's, and there were all untruths. If it weren't for the envoys, this woman should have been a Huns. Hmm," he teased, "there is such a beautiful woman who takes aphrodisiacs to seek pleasure, and the little emperor of the Han people is really blessed." ”
"Ahh Artie was stunned, "Did you overhear what we were talking just now?" ”
Maudun rolled over his horse, "Do you use eavesdropping, I heard it when I walked over." If Artie likes aphrodisiacs, after returning to Dragon City, I don't need you to swallow it, okay? ”
Laughed loudly, "Speaking of which, although Zhang Yan is also a beauty, she and Artie are only good at winning." As the Han people say about the apricot blossoms in spring and the chrysanthemums in autumn, how can the first beauty of our Huns lose to a Han people. ”
Artie opened his mouth to speak, but Mao Dun no longer paid attention to it, and shouted with a whip, "Although the flower world of the big man looks good, his bones will be soft after living for a long time." It's still the strong wind on our Hun steppe, go back. ”
The crowd cheered, and whipped and headed north, and in a short time there was only a cloud of smoke and dust left behind.
……
It is light to go down the Weishui River, but it is much more laborious to swim back. Zhang Yan swam for a while, estimating that the Huns had disappeared. So he came to shore from the other side. The autumn wind blew, and she shivered, and her lips were a little white. The sun shines brightly on the body, filling in some of the temperature.
She gathered the dead branches and lit a fire.
After a while, a group of Han soldiers came along the fireworks. The first lieutenant ordered the sergeant to guard from afar, and then he stepped forward and said, "Captain Li of the Chenbei Military Academy participates...... Elegant. ”
It was a former acquaintance.
Zhang Yanqiang smiled, "Captain Li, please-ahyaw" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneeze.
"The autumn is cold, and the noble man has fallen for so long." Without squinting, he took off his robe and handed it to her, "Although there is something inappropriate, the nobles might as well put it on, so as not to catch a cold." ”
She hesitated for a moment, and another autumn wind blew, only to feel that she was falling into an ice cellar, so she had to take it.
Li Ji smiled slightly, and said, "The minister has ordered someone to go back and report." - Your Excellency may rest assured, I ordered him to go straight to His Majesty's place, His Majesty has been keeping watch by the Weishui River all night, and has been very worried about your nobleman, and will come in person in about a moment. ”
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The incident of her falling into the water this time is not a good thing, and it should not be publicized everywhere. Only when there are few people who know can there be a place to maneuver. And Li Ji clearly knew her, but he didn't call her the queen in front of everyone, and directly skipped the top boss Lieutenant Qi Gill to give her news to the emperor, and his mind was very delicate.
Thinking like this, and then listening to Liu Ying's protection of himself in Li Zhen's words, I don't feel a little sweet in my heart.
She sat on the empty riverbank, the sun shining on her body, warm, although there was a humid temperature under the outer robe, it could not stop the feeling of drowsiness, and at the moment when she was about to wake up, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ear calling her name, "Ah Yan." ”
It's a relief to finally let go of your worries.
