Chapter 16: Kneeling and begging

Yun Chuan was impatient to hear it, thinking that he almost died last night, and he couldn't swallow this breath, but Yun Xi kept holding her down. finally waited until there was silence inside, but Yun Xi pulled her up and walked away softly and quickly.

"Why did you pull me away, don't you want to ask what's going on?" After walking away, Yun Chuan asked suspiciously.

"I'm just worried that Yang Qingyun will punish her, it seems that I'm too worried." Yun Xi was worried, shook his head and said.

"Yun Xi, Yun Xi, at this time, are you still worried about Yu Wenling? If it weren't for her, your cousin wouldn't be lying there! Seeing that Yun Xi was thinking about others everywhere, Yun Chuan was even more angry.

"Yuwen Ling must have been taken advantage of, with her infatuation with Yang Qingyun, it is impossible for her to do such a thing." Yun Xi sighed and said, "Thinking back to that night, the target of the man in black should be his cousin. ”

"Why did you kill your cousin? I know, I've heard my eldest brother say that the Shu Dynasty is fighting for the prince's affairs now, and fratricide between princes in that place is quite common. No, didn't you say that he was not favored in the eyes of the emperor? He is low-key and never competes. Such a marginalized prince, can't he live a good life in the palace? Yun Chuan analyzed by himself, and with a "bang" Yun Xi suddenly knelt in front of Yun Chuan, and Yun Chuan took a step back in shock: "Yun Xi, what are you doing here?" Hurry up! ”

"Yun Chuan, I have something to say to you." Yun Xi said with tears in his eyes.

"Yun Xi, if you have something to say, get up and talk about it." Yun Chuan grabbed Yun Xi's arm, but she insisted on kneeling and didn't move.

"Princess Yunchuan, please accept my worship." After speaking, Yun Xi leaned forward with both hands and bowed down, and made a big bow to Yun Chuan.

"Yun Xi, hurry up, I can't afford such a big gift." Although Yun Xi has fallen so far, he has a good identity since he was a child, and his heart is higher than the sky.

"Sister Yunchuan, please bow to me again." Yun Xi ignored Yun Chuan's pull, made another big salute, and said: "The first worship is to Princess Yunchuan, thank you for taking care of me as a princess for eight years, otherwise I would not have been treated so well in Tusang; The second worship is for Sister Yunchuan, since I met you, you let me have the same name "Yun", and changed my name to "Xi", commensurate with my sister, eat and sleep together, without this sisterhood, I Yunxi would have been drowned by hatred and fear long ago. ”

"Yun Xi, you and I have a heart-to-heart, and we are familiar at first sight. I treat you well, I don't mix any selfish thoughts, I don't want you to repay, and I don't want you to have a burden. In the past eight years, haven't you also thought about me everywhere? Teach me to study, play with me, punish me, and help me relieve my worries. You have long been the best, closest, and most trusted sister in my heart. Yun Chuan couldn't hold Yun Xi, so he had to kneel on the ground, opposite Yun Xi, and said softly: "Do you want me to go and get a hundred years of snow lotus, even if you don't say it, I have to do it." Yu Wenhan saved my life, I said a long time ago, I will not sit idly by. ”

"Thank you, I know you never wanted to reciprocate, but I will never forget this affection." Yun Xi burst into tears and said in a sobbing voice: "I, I have one more request, I hope you can grant me." After getting the hundred-year-old snow lotus, I hope you can let Yu Wenhan live incognito in Tusang. ”

"You really gave him all your heart." Yun Chuan remembered that Yu Wenhan had said before that his sister had been eccentric, witty and lively since she was a child, but now looking at Yun Xi's eyes full of sorrow, how could she be a little shrewd and smart, Yun Chuan was even more distressed. She sighed and said, "He's a dignified son, and he suddenly disappeared, how can he give up on that side?" I know you're worried about what will happen to him when he goes back, but the difficulty of this matter... ”

"I know what's at stake, but I can't just watch him repeat his mistakes and fall victim to the struggle." Yun Xi's tears couldn't stop flowing, dripping on the back of Yun Chuan's hand.

Yun Chuan knew that the reason why he could be nosy and do whatever he wanted in the desert was because he was really nosy and never participated in the internal affairs of the clan, let alone causing trouble to his father and eldest brother in the affairs of the clan, so everyone had no blame for her little willfulness and let her come and go. But Yun Xi's request involved the prince of the Shu Dynasty, and Yun Chuan thought that this was beyond his ability. Although she had a good impression of Yu Wenhan, she was far from doing anything to threaten the interests of the clan.

But seeing Yun Xi so hurt at this moment, Yun Chuan couldn't bear to refute her, so he had to comfort: "Okay, anyway, we have a high emperor here, and there will always be a way to hide it." Let's solve the matter of Snow Lotus first, and then find a way to change the living person, this will always do. You see, if we don't get up again, the guards still think we're lying on the ground looking for crickets. ”

Yun Chuan and Yun Xi supported each other up, Yun Xi was still sobbing on the side, Yun Chuan said helplessly: "Yun Xi, I was not afraid of heaven and earth before, but after seeing you, I was afraid." Do you know what it is? As soon as you cry, the pear blossoms bring rain, crying like complaints, I feel that the sky is dark and my heart is like a knife. Only then did I understand the mood of the princes of Zhou You's Fenghuo Opera just for the love of Concubine Boai. ”

"Is there anything like you? Compare me to a concubine. Yun Xi was so indiscriminately compared by Yun Chuan, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

Yun Chuan wiped away Yun Xi's tears and said: "What's wrong with Bao Xi, it's obvious that those men are greedy for pleasure, ignorant and stupid, and they lost the world, and they don't want to take responsibility, so they throw the blame on women." Besides, you're not a concubine, you're a goddess who came down from Snow Dragon Mountain. I didn't say this alone, Sheng Ze and my eldest brother both said so. ”

"Just tease me! How can there be such a bumpy goddess in the world? Yun Xi said helplessly.

"The heavens will descend on the people, of course, they have to hone it. Haha, okay, I won't tease you, I'm relieved to see that you don't cry. But that's what my eldest brother said about you! After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he smiled and ran away, and Yun Xi watched from behind and finally broke into a smile.

The sky of the steppe is blue and clear, and the clouds are rolling and soothing. Yun Xi looked up at the pair of geese soaring, and sighed in her heart, God deprived her of her identity and family affection, but gave her this deep-rooted friendship, even if she wants to go to the knife mountain and the sea of fire for her in the future, she has no regrets.

——————————————————————————————————

Yun Xi boiled the herbs and brought them to Yu Wenhan's yurt room with Yun Chuan, Yang Qingyun sat by the collapsed eaves and guarded, Yu Wenling sat on the felt carpet on the side, leaning on the desk, dragging his cheeks with his left hand, listless.

"You two people, four big words written on your face - dejected!" Yun Chuan came in and took a quick sweep to break the silence.

Yang Qingyun and Yu Wenling looked up when they heard the sound and saw the two people who had changed into women's clothes, one was as bright as the sun and the other was as gentle as the moonlight. Yang Qingyun immediately nodded, and Yu Wenling "snorted" and turned his head.

"Miss Ling, is it fun to be a spy?" Yun Chuan deliberately approached Yu Wenling, stared at her eyes and asked her.

"I knew you were here for cynicism, why should I be a spy? What's in it for me? Yu Wenling held back the fire in his stomach and just couldn't vent it, and then jumped up, "These people see that we are dressed extraordinarily, and they are interested in making money, so they take advantage of the darkness to rob." I'm a victim too! ”

"Hey, it's really a victim, ruined a good marriage." Yun Chuan's words were like a sharp sword piercing into Yu Wenling's heart, humiliation and shame were ignited, he grabbed the teacup on the desk and threw it at Yun Chuan, Yun Chuan dodged sideways, and the teacup just smashed into Yang Qingyun behind him. Yang Qingyun stretched out his left hand and caught the teacup without moving, the suppressed anger melted into the palm of his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded, and the copper teacup was almost deformed.

"The matter of the man in black is indeed their intention to see wealth, and I have just returned to the little prince of Shengze. Ling'er, if you mess around with other people's places again, you will leave here immediately! Yang Qingyun said coldly.

"Brother Qingxuan, I, I'm not making trouble, I'm guarding you." Yu Wenling looked aggrieved, glared at Yun Chuan angrily, and carefully sat on the side of the case again.

Yun Chuan still wanted to distinguish, but was pulled by Yun Xi: "Yun Chuan, a few of us can be regarded as sharing hardships, and this matter doesn't want to happen." After speaking, he put a bowl of medicinal soup on the side of the collapse, freed his hand to check Yu Wenhan's pulse, and said after a moment: "Now that the breath has calmed down a lot, he should be able to wake up in more than an hour." After waking up for a while, warm this bowl of soup and let him drink it first, and then I asked the doctor to come and change the ointment for him. ”

"Thank you. How is his injury now? Yang Qingyun asked with concern.

"It's better than I imagined, maybe he's stronger-willed." Yun Xi checked his left arm, and then said, "The poison has not continued to spread for the time being, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune. In the next seven days, if there is no medicine to cure the root cause, the number and severity of pain will gradually worsen, and I will regularly give him relieving pain and detoxification herbs, hoping that it will be relieved. ”

"Is he fit to ride in a carriage now?" Yang Qingyun asked.

"Where are you going?" Yun Xi stood up straight and asked in surprise.

"Back to the Central Plains." Yang Qingyun looked at the cup in his hand a little distracted, and after a moment he continued, "Thank you very much for taking care of us. But the 100-year-old snow lotus is very important, and I have heard of it, so ... ”

"Therefore, you don't want to trouble us, you want to take him out of the desert first, and then you go alone to steal the hundred-year-old snow lotus, right?" Yun Xi excitedly said what Yang Qingyun wanted to say.

"Brother Qingxuan, you will die like this. You'd better let me go back and give it a try, I promise I'll do whatever it takes. I'm going to get someone to prepare a carriage!" Yu Wenling immediately stood up and wanted to rush out in a hurry. Yang Qingyun grabbed Yu Wenling's arm, looked cold, and said, "Don't make any more trouble, okay?" You have to go back, but you don't need to go back to do anything, you don't need anything. ”

"Brother Qingyu, I... Yu Wenling looked at Yang Qingyun almost pleadingly, how much she hoped that she could accompany him at this critical moment, but why was it herself who caused this situation?

"Then have you ever thought about it, if you don't get back the hundred-year-old snow lotus, or you get caught. What about your brother? Seeing Yang Qingyun working hard for his brother, a trace of respect also rose in Yun Chuan's heart.

"What are you talking about, Brother Qingyu will be fine!" Yu Wenling was heartbroken. Yun Xi also looked at Yang Qingyun anxiously, and also hoped that his decision was properly deployed, rather than gambling with his life.

"Within seven days, if I go and don't come back, there will be a health insurance to save his life!" Yang Qingyun looked at Yu Wenhan's bloodless face and said firmly.

"What about you?" Yun Xi didn't dare to think about it, and asked softly, Yang Qingyun raised his eyes to look at Yun Xi, then lowered his head, and fell into a dead silence again.

"He's just ready to 'make it or not.'" People return to flowers, no flowers and no one. Yun Chuan's words were conclusive, he sighed deeply in his heart, and was helplessly entangled in his heart.

Yun Xi was so uncomfortable that he couldn't stand on his feet, so he had to sit slowly on the edge of the collapse with his bed, bowing his head and holding back the tears. Thinking of the morning and night and joy eight years ago, the reunion and joy of the previous days, the torment and anxiety of the past two days, Yun Xi's emotions are on the verge of collapse again, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and rivers are vast, and there is only a sand gull.

Yun Chuan also thought about how to obtain the White Lotus Snow Lotus, it was not impossible to steal it, but it was definitely not a foolproof strategy. She gently patted Yun Xi's shoulder, looked at Yang Qingyun and said, "I still have some old friendships with Princess Mingcheng of Huangbei, and I will go with you." ”

Yang Qingyun raised his head and looked at the red-eyed woman in front of him, as if a ray of sunshine shone in his cold heart, this sunshine didn't know where it came from, but it was a familiar acquaintance.

"Then you didn't say it earlier? You have to look at us crying and making jokes, don't you? Yuwen Ling stood up angrily, looked at Yun Chuan and asked.

"Because I don't want to rob you of your credit!" Yun Chuan looked at Yuwen Ling's domineering appearance, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart: this little girl got angry when she teased her, and when she got angry, she stared at her and jumped up and down, which was angry and ridiculous.

"What do you say? When am I going to take credit for this! Brother Qingyun, she's making fun of me again! Yu Wenling was very anxious, things had come to such a point, if Yang Qingyun misunderstood his original intention, then his eight years of companionship and companionship would be in vain.

"Yun Chuan~" Yun Xi called out to Yun Chuan softly, pulled her cuffs, raised her eyes slightly, shook her head lightly, and signaled her not to provoke Yu Wenling anymore.

Yang Qingyun was about to speak, but Yun Chuan preemptively said: "He was injured for me, I won't sit idly by, and I don't need any quid pro quo!" After speaking, his eyes swept down the angry Yuwenling, glanced at the expressionless Yang Qingxuan, and thought that if Yuwenling was like a cannon fire, then this Yang Qingling would be like a stubborn stone that would not melt through the ages, and the fire would not melt.

Thinking of this, Yun Chuan suddenly felt that he had a strange idea: they were not a good match, what did they have to do with him?

Yun Chuan continued: "This matter is really not easy to do, I thought you were sure before, so I won't participate." But now, if you can only take risks, then it is better to take me, although my friendship with Princess Mingcheng may not be able to achieve what I want, but I know the distribution and internal situation of the Huangbei tribe, I believe it will definitely help you. ”

Yang Qingyun listened quietly, thought about it for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "If Miss Yunchuan can help, I will be grateful." ”

"Don't just thank me, what you should thank the most is Yun Xi, she has been engaged in hair until now, she is so anxious, she hasn't closed her eyes for a moment, she is working hard to prepare herbs and boil decoctions." Yun Chuan looked at Yun Xi's red eyes on the side, presumably she was struggling to endure the burning pain in her heart again.

Yang Qingyun looked at the woman in green clothes in front of her, her face was light and elegant, and her temperament was outstanding, and it was difficult to connect the four words "anxious" with it. But Yun Xi also saw Yu Wenhan's care in his eyes, and then bowed to Yun Xi and said, "Thank you." ”

Yun Xi waved his hand and said lightly, "No need to say thank you. is also a fallen person, and this is all I can do. Yu Wenling looked at Yun Xi's elegant expression, thinking that the queen mother often taught herself that "the world is for profit", and the two of them didn't know what kind of purpose was hidden behind it, so they acted coy here and won a good impression. Yuwen Ling snorted, glanced at Yun Xun with disdain, and then turned his eyes gently to Yang Qingyun, hoping that he would not be deceived by it. But Yang Qingyun's expression had always been cold, but now he was much softer, and nodded to Yunxi in thanks, quite polite.

"Yun Chuan, I knew you were here. Are you all iron-clad? Aren't you hungry? Sheng Ze pulled the curtain with one hand, pointed to the table in the yurt with the other and said, "Come on, come on, bring in all the food." ”

In the blink of an eye, the table was full of leg of mutton, naan cakes, and butter tea. The maid was saluting and leaving, Sheng Ze patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, you go and arrange a good four-wheeled carriage, which we will use after we finish eating." ”

"Thank you for your thoughtful arrangement." Yang Qingyun saluted.

"It's a little thing, you don't have to be so polite. Don't just stand still, come, sit down and fill your stomachs. To take care of the wounded, you have to be full before you have the strength to take care of it. Sheng Ze hurriedly pulled Yun Chuan and Yun Xi to sit on the side of the case.

"Well, if you don't say it, I don't think it's enough, my stomach is already rumbling when you say this." Yun Chuan touched his stomach and said, after speaking, he picked up a naan cake, distributed it to Yun Xi and Sheng Ze, and quickly ate it himself.

Yang Qingyun also sat down, and after thanking him, he picked up the naan and ate it. Yu Wenling was dizzy from hunger for a long time, but he didn't dare to show it, and when he saw Yang Qingyun eating, he ate with confidence, halfway through eating, his hunger was relieved a lot, he took a sip of butter tea, hit Sheng Ze with his arm, and asked cautiously: "You arranged the carriage, are you going to send a few of us to the Central Plains?" ”

Sheng Ze looked at Yu Wenling, then at Yang Qingyun, and asked, "You didn't tell her?" ”

After Yang Qingyun finished eating half of the naan cake, he got up and sat on the edge of Yu Wenhan's collapse, and when he heard Sheng Ze ask, he said to Yu Wenling: "Ling'er, you hurry up and pack your luggage after eating, and I will send you to the border city first." ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenling hurriedly put down the food in his hand, and said anxiously: "Brother Qingxuan, why do you want me to go back alone first?" You want to take risks, I know you can't stop it, don't I even have the qualifications to wait for news? ”

"There's been a lot of truth, and I don't want to repeat it all the time." Yang Qingyun was a little impatient.

"I, I'm not leaving! Let's go! Yu Wenling's cheeks were red, his heart was extremely aggrieved, and tears had fallen on the desk. Sheng Ze was at a loss when he saw this scene, and even said: "I can't see the girl crying, but it's not that I want to send you away, but it won't help if you keep it." ”

"I, I know I can't share it for you, but at this time, you let me go back alone, I, I can't sleep. If you have three longs, three longs and two shorts, I will never survive. Yu Wenling choked up several times, tears raining down.

The three of Yunchuan were a little shocked when they heard Yu Wenling's cry, this was clearly the confession of an infatuated woman, but Yang Qingyun didn't react at all, and still said coldly: "I have no talent, and this kind of care is superfluous; You will take care of this risk, and you don't need to think about it. ”

Yu Wenling's whole person is like being struck by lightning, for so many years, in order to follow Yang Qingyun, she has ignored the woman's reserve and is not afraid of secular words. But she is also a dignified princess, a collection of thousands of favors, and now in front of outsiders, he said categorically "Accept it is superfluous, no need to think more", so resolute so that she can save face? At this time, Yu Wenling only felt that the surrounding mountains seemed to be shaking and dizzy, and these people were looking at him with a sad face, and they were laughing and scolding in their hearts. She was ashamed, got up and ran out of the curtain, running along a road without direction, and the voice in her heart was still involved: "Reluctant, reluctant." Yu Wenling smiled bitterly at himself: I don't know what to do, and I go deep; I don't know where it is, and it's miserable.
