Volume 1 Chapter 55: The Vanishing Helian Yi
In Xunjin City in Great Xia, Lu Zhongjian was so anxious that people kept coming in and out to report: "Lord Lu, the princess is not in Xuanwu Tower." ”
"Lord Lu, the princess is not in Chongwen Pavilion."
When Shen Liuxiang heard this, she was so anxious that she cried, blindly blaming herself and feeling annoyed. Luo Zichen finally couldn't stand anymore, spread his legs and rushed out, Lu Zhongjian was worried that he had just come and was unfamiliar with the place, so he wanted to call him to stop, but he saw that he had disappeared as soon as he slipped away, so he had to follow him. Tenzin saw that he couldn't find Helian Yi after looking for an hour, and he couldn't sit still and go out to look for it.
Tenzin searched all the way, thinking that she must not have gone far, and remembered that Helian Yi would often look in the direction of Jianfeng Gang these days, knowing that everyone had already looked for him, but he still refused to give up. But until the entire city tower was rummaged, he couldn't find Helian Yi's shadow. But he was not discouraged and continued to walk west along the entire wall. Eventually, the walls were empty. However, there are several stone steps there, which are convenient for the soldiers to change the guard and go up and down. Tenzin poked his head and looked over, but he saw Helian Yi cowering on the lowest stone steps, his head leaning against the cold stone wall, his eyes blank and helpless. At this moment, she is an ordinary girl who is helpless, not the Helian Yi who is in the middle of the battle.
"Princess." Tenzin shouted softly, and Helian Yi realized that someone was coming, and quickly wiped away the tears on her face, but what she couldn't erase was the sadness on her face.
Seeing Tenzin, her mood seemed to have calmed down, and Tenzin also sat down and sat side by side with her on the stone steps. He knew Helian Yi's sadness and worries, so he comforted her: "His Royal Highness King Ji will never embarrass the princess." At that moment, he told her about the first time he met Xiao Yunyan that night, and finally comforted her: "His Royal Highness King Ji will not abandon the princess no matter what." ”
But in the end, Helian Yi still shook his head and said: "It's not yesterday, he and I are no longer the two people we used to be, and he hates me in his heart now." ”
"No, I believe Your Highness."
"Tenzin, you don't understand the affairs between men and women, it's been so long, he won't always remember me."
Tenzin was speechless, he really didn't understand the affairs of men and women, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, Helian Yi looked at him, and said to him: "He sent people to explore the wind, and recently he deliberately stopped his troops and stagnated, in order to give Helian Dingbang a chance to breathe, hoping that Helian Dingbang would come to deal with me, so that he could profit from it again." Maybe he was just waiting, and when Helian Dingbang made a move, he also made a move, flanking us left and right. ”
Tenzin has been learning the art of war from Fu Dasheng recently, and he nodded heavily when he listened to what Helian Yi said.
Helian Yi said: "Tenzin, if King Ji is really as I guessed, then you can go." ”
"No, then I'm not leaving."
Helian Yi was taken aback for the first time when she heard him say so categorically that he would not leave, but she soon understood what Tenzin meant, and he would choose to advance and retreat with her in times of crisis.
She cautiously asked, "Then if nothing happens, are you willing to stay forever?" ”
Tenzin said categorically: "No. Zanmon has passed away, and the wolf lord is not in good health. I agreed to stay because I still remember that His Royal Highness King Ji and the princess went to save me that day, so I stayed. ”
"However, Tang Hao is sparsely populated and unbearable, what can it bring you? Besides, with so many people competing, the position of wolf lord may not be yours in the end. ”
"It doesn't matter who the wolf lord is. It won't bring me anything, it doesn't matter, I'm willing to guard there with my people. ”
Helian Yi finally stopped talking, and finally understood why he could win the hearts of the people so much.
"Tenzin, have you ever thought that you are also the son of the Helian family, if I can't come back one day, you also have the responsibility to bear it."
"Where is the princess going?" Tenzin looked at her in confusion.
Helian Yi smiled bitterly: "I don't go anywhere, I'm afraid that one day I will be involuntarily." ”
"I don't know anyone else in the Helian family except for the two princesses. But as soon as I was born, I was a Tang people, and the people there were my people, and I was connected to them by the same blood. ”
"You'd rather treat those who have nothing to do with you as your clansmen than me, who is related to you by blood."
"Princess, in fact, I have always known that I have nothing to do with the Helian family."
Helian Yi was suddenly a little overwhelmed, "You, you always know?" How do you know? ”
"I just know that my background has nothing to do with you, and it won't have anything to do with you."
"Then, then you stayed for that grace back then?"
"Yes and no. We have a saying: The eagle's wings are not hardened in the nest, so the wolf master also let me experience here. At this point, Tenzin simply finished all his words, and said, "We Tang people all pray that all sentient beings in the six realms can be free from suffering and be happy, and since I can reduce the suffering of living beings with my own strength, then of course I am also willing." But once the princess recaptures Great Xia in the future, then I will be useless, what will I stay for? ”
In front of such a pure and pure Tenzin, Helian Yi suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed because of his deception, and asked: "Then have you ever complained in your heart that I have deprived you of your original free life?" ”
Tenzin shook his head and said: "No, no matter where I am, I am free, our people have a saying: if the heart is free and trapped in a cage, it is free, and if the heart is shackled, even if it is placed in the vast world, it will be bound." ”
Helian Yi looked at him and suddenly felt a little relieved: it turns out that freedom or unfreedom depends on his own heart? It turned out that her cage was built for herself.
"Tenzin, don't worry, one day I will let you go back."
"Princess Xie."
Helian Yi finally stood up, and the two walked side by side towards the city wall. As soon as he came up, he saw Luo Zichen coming towards him, and Tenzin instructed Luo Zichen: "You take her back." With that, he quickly left.
Tenzin's guidance made Helian Yi's mood a lot better, and she finally gathered her sad look and was no longer afraid.
Luo Zichen finally saw Helian Yi and couldn't help grabbing her hand, "Princess ......" wanted to comfort her and make her feel relieved, but found that Helian Yi looked at her with some shock and some anger that was offended, so panicked that Luo Zichen realized that he had really offended her, and hurriedly let go of his hand, "Minister, the minister didn't mean it, please forgive the princess." ”
Helian Yi didn't speak, just walked forward. Luo Zichen followed her step by step, and wanted to talk to her a few times, but when he thought of her cold and unfamiliar eyes, he swallowed it back vigorously. The two of them thought about their own thoughts like this, and walked back without saying a word. Finally, Shen Liuxiang ran to greet her with tears, "Princess, where have you been?" I scared the slave to death. ”
"It's fine." When Helian Yi saw her, he finally showed a happy look. At this time, Lu Zhongjian also came out, and Helian Yi said to Shen Liuxiang and Luo Zichen: "You all go down first, this palace has something to say to Master Lu." ”
