Chapter 18: Blame you for being too beautiful
A dialogue derived from a fairy tale seems to have a profound meaning, and it seems that if a fierce son is stabbed into the lake of life, it will turn into sediment and no longer rise, but if you think about it carefully, the two people who are having a dialogue, once they take off the clothes of Her Royal Highness the Noble Princess and the woodcutter of Sobi Lake, are actually just two young men and women of fifteen, sixteen or seven.
In some extreme environments such as the ice cellar at the bottom of the well, young people often forget their own identity responsibilities or some other things, and become much purer, and beside the fire in the night forest of Beishan Road, which has just experienced a bloody battle, the Tang princesses Li Yu and Ning Que have become very simple storytellers and storytellers.
Because the wounded were sleeping all around, the voice of the story was a little low, and because to hear the story clearly, the listeners had to come closer, because of this, they naturally sat together, shoulder to shoulder, and gossiped around the fire and said something meaningless, until they fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the night gradually faded, the stars gave way to the sky above the treetops to the faint morning light, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the south of the North Mountain Road.
The old man Lu Qingchen and Ning Que opened their eyes at the same time, glanced at each other and then woke up their companions around them, a grassland barbarian fell to the ground and listened, and after a while, he raised his right hand and made a gesture, clenched his fist and waved it quickly, signaling to his companions that there were many people from the south, and they were heavy riders.
The fire was about to go out, and the charred wooden bars were covered with gray-white ash, and there were a little sparks left, and the guards and steppe barbarians struggled to get up, took out the military single crossbow that had been prepared, and aimed it at the Beishan Road, which was still dark, and everyone was so injured that they could not move quickly, and since they knew that the comer was powerful, there was no need to hide, only to wait calmly - waiting to be rescued, or to die in battle.
The fallen leaves on the North Mountain Road were swept up by the strong wind, and dozens of cavalrymen were killed in the faint light of the sky, and the knights and horses were wrapped in extremely thick black heavy armor, and they rushed so wildly, the sound of hooves trembled like thunder on the earth, and the ashes of the embers in the fire were even more shocked and floated up, like morning smoke.
The most elite heavy armor of the Tang Empire!
The cavalry group wrapped in heavy armor once it charged on the battlefield, and even those powerful swordsmen could not deal effective damage to these heavy armored cavalry.
However, everyone can see clearly that this group of heavy cavalry rushing out of the morning light has clear arrow wound scars, obviously once attacked, may have encountered an ambush at the southern foothills, in this case, this heavy cavalry that is not suitable for dense forest combat has to force through the North Mountain Road overnight, you can imagine the urgency and anxiety of the mood.
Dozens of heavy-armored Xuanqi roared out of the Beishan Road Pass, and there were still more than 30 zhang away from the two fires, and the young knight wearing armor and a red coat at the front looked at the people beside the fire in the distance, and shouted: "Gushan County Huashan Yue is here!
Hearing the name Hua Shanyue, the guard with the crossbow arrow suddenly relaxed his vigilance and responded loudly. Ning Que looked down at Princess Li Yu who was leaning on his shoulder, watching her eyelashes move slightly, as if she was about to wake up, she couldn't help but smile and raise her eyebrows, and silently withdrew the boxwood hardwood bow in her left hand.
Like a lightning hammer horse's hooves at high speed through the North Mountain Road, rolling up or crushing the fallen leaves, the young general who called himself Hua Shanyue slapped his saddle, galloped down from his horse, quickly ran to the fire, snapped to one knee on the ground, clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice: "Mountain rescue is late, the crime deserves death, please forgive Your Highness." â
At this time, dozens of heavily armed Xuan cavalry rushed to the forest, and the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty with tired faces dismounted one after another, knelt behind Hua Shanyue in a row, and said in unison: "Please forgive Your Highness." â
Li Yu opened his eyes at some point, as if he had just woken up or maybe he was ...... It's been a long time since I've been awake.
She looked at Hua Shanyue, the commander of Gushan County, who was kneeling in front of her, at the young general who was loyal to her, and at the cavalrymen who had obviously gone through bloody battles to rush here, her eyebrows were full of encouragement, and she said with a smile: "Don't you get up quickly, do you really want this palace to surrender?"
She was very happy, these Tang cavalry who came to help in the south of Beishan Road and were ambushed and worried about her life and death all night, finally saw the virtuous princess Her Royal Highness after a year, how could they not be excited?
Hua Shanyue raised his head excitedly, and was about to say something, but saw Her Royal Highness the princess sitting on the shoulder of a young soldier, and her expression was extremely natural. Seeing this scene, his heart tightened slightly for some reason, his eyes showed a trace of surprise and displeasure, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Ning Que, who had been watching these heavily armed cavalrymen, saw his face clearly the moment the young general raised his head, it was a handsome and plump face, and his eyebrows were like swords, adding a bit of sassy and heroic spirit.
At such an age, he is already the governor of Gushan County, commanding a whole banner and reloading Xuanqi, Hua Shanqiu is undoubtedly the most outstanding figure among the young generation of the Tang Empire, regardless of the city's temperament and ability.
It's a pity that there has always been a threshold in his life that he can't cross, and he even fell this threshold a few years ago - this threshold is the love that he has always buried deep in his heart, but has long been known by the whole Tang Dynasty.
The deepest and most fiery love for Her Royal Highness Li Yu, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Hua Shanyue's sudden low and slightly cold feelings were naturally not aimed at Li Yu, even if he killed him, he would not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Her Royal Highness the princess - he was just very disgusted with the young soldier next to His Highness, what kind of thing are you, you dare to be so close to such a noble body of Your Highness, not too close, but already in contact!
He had never been so close to Her Royal Highness the Princess's fragrant shoulder in his life, he had never enjoyed such wonderful treatment in his life, and if he could, he would have drawn his knife and slashed the young soldier's shoulder off!
This kind of jealousy and cold love, Hua Shanyue hid it very well, at least in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, he would hide it very well, so Li Yu only saw a flash of surprise and displeasure in his eyes.
She was slightly stunned, and then felt the warmth coming from her arm, and then understood where the strange color in the young general's eyes came from, and subconsciously raised her hand to comb the hair next to her sideburns to hide her embarrassment - she didn't expect that she actually spent the night with Ning Que side by side by the fire, although it was the situation, but for the Tang princess, it was indeed a little inappropriate to be so intimate with a young man.
Princess Li Yu slowly stood up.
So the maid who listened to the story ceased to exist zĂ i.
The residual temperature between the two of them was quickly blown away by the morning wind.
After a moment of silence, Ning Que shook his head and smiled, looked at her side face, and suddenly felt that the morning light was shining on her cheeks, and her eyebrows and eyes looked extraordinarily beautiful, much cuter than on the journey a few days ago.
Indifference and pride are certainly not as beautiful as calm and graceful.
But he still thinks that the girl in the light of the fire is the best.
