Chapter 816: Parting with Regret (1)
Brother Liu, you have just recovered some strength, it's not too late to do something big tomorrow, why do you want to come out overnight?"
"Yes, the night is cold, your body is weak, if you catch the cold, wouldn't it be worse?"
"Lord Liu, listen to the advice of Brother Li and Miss Pan, go back and rest first!"
In the middle of the night, in the vast grassland as far as the eye can see, Liu Xunyi ignored the strong persuasion of Pan Yuyin, Li Haitang, Feng Tianba and Wu Chan, dragged his weak body away from the camp of Ku Lie, and walked towards Saihan's "tavern" with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Pan Yuyin and the others were worried that he would be in a hurry and his injuries would worsen, so they didn't dare to stop him, so they could only accompany Liu Xunyi all the way, and took turns to persuade him.
It's a pity that tonight's Liu Xunyi is like an evil spirit, ignoring the worries of Li Haitang and the others, and insisting on burying his head forward, refusing to stop even if they wear out their mouths.
"Brother Liu, we know that you are worried about Su Daxia, but since he is not in the camp, maybe...... I have returned to Chifengling. Li Haitang spoke again unwillingly, "The huge grassland is vast and boundless, if he deliberately hides, how can you find it?"
"My eldest brother and I have become brothers in life and death, and now that he is in trouble because of me, I must not stand idly by!" Liu Xunyi, who was panting, leaned his body, gritted his teeth and insisted on moving forward, "Big brother, he is worthy of the sky, and the government is not afraid of people, why should he hide?"
"Maybe he's worried about revenge, maybe he thinks it's a loss of face to lose you......"
"Nonsense!" Liu Xunyi's face sank, and he snapped Feng Tianba's suspicion of Su He, "Big brother is bright and straightforward, you don't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
"Don't blame me, adult, I'm just talking about ...... casually"
"That's not going to work...... Ahem......"
Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, he suddenly felt chest tightness and couldn't help coughing a few times.
Seeing this, the worried Pan Yuyin hurriedly handed over the water bladder, and at the same time, he stared at Feng Tianba and gave Feng Tianba a big white eye, complaining that he shouldn't have said the wrong thing at this time.
"Brother Liu, it's actually ......"
"You don't have to persuade me again, I must find my eldest brother tonight. Before Li Haitang could be cautiously tempted, Liu Xunyi had already waved his hand impatiently to interrupt, "Okay! Don't follow me anymore, go back to sleep! When I see my eldest brother, I will go back to the camp to find you." ”
"No! absolutely not!" Pan Yuyin said stubbornly, "If you want to find Su Daxia, we will accompany you to find it." It's impossible for us to leave you here alone. ”
"That's it!" Feng Tianba, who had just been reprimanded, was not angry, but changed his words cheekily, "Don't persuade anyone! No matter where Lord Liu goes, we will give up our lives to accompany the gentleman." ”
Today's big victory in "Naadam" and the preservation of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty made Feng Tianba overjoyed and in a very good mood. Therefore, Mo said that Liu Xunyi taught him two sentences, even if he beat him, he would never care.
"By the way, the letter that Lord Liu asked me to send, I had already flown a pigeon to deliver the letter back to Lin'an in the evening. I believe that it will not be long before the imperial court will prepare 100,000 stone of rice, and the people of Yunya Town who were arrested will also be acquitted. Seeing Liu Xunyi's hesitation, Feng Tianba hurriedly changed the topic, "No matter what, we finally sent the princess to Helin smoothly, and the accident in Yunya Town is also dangerous." Fortunately, the emperor blessed us with the blessing of the heavens. ”
"To this day, you still think about the emperor?" Li Haitang pouted, "It is not so much that the emperor is blessed with the sky, but that we ourselves are blessed with great fortunes." ”
"You ......" Seeing Li Haitang's disrespectful words, Feng Tianba wanted to be reprimanded, but after thinking about it, Li Haitang tried his best to compete with Hu Lie today, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach, and he smiled nonchalantly, "That's it! I'm in a good mood today, so I don't care about you." ”
Pan Yuyin and Wu Chan never participated in the bickering between Li Haitang and Feng Tianba, and the two of them silently accompanied Liu Xunyi, and when they saw that he was physically exhausted, they immediately helped him.
"Lord Liu, where are we going now?"
"There!"
Before Wu Chan's words fell, Liu Xunyi, who struggled to climb the grass slope, showed joy on his face, stretched out his hand to a flock of sheep not far away, and said excitedly: "That's the sheep of Saihan and Bayin, we have entered their pasture, and the eldest brother must be here." ”
"Could it be that this is the place where Brother Liu and Su Daxia competed three days ago?"
"Exactly!"
Hurriedly agreed, Liu Xunyi could no longer care about the weakness of his body, and couldn't wait to run towards the yurt next to the sheep.
"Big brother, Saihan senior, Bayin, are you there?"
Liu Xunyi, who was surging in his heart, shouted loudly at the top of his voice, waking up the sleepy sheep one after another, and the sound of "bleating" was endless for a while, breaking the tranquility of this grassland.
"In the middle of the night, who is shouting and screaming at the door of people's homes?"
Accompanied by a slightly unhappy lazy voice, Bayin rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly walked out of the yurt.
"Bayin, it's me!"
Under the stunned gaze of Li Haitang and others, Liu Xunyi, who was smiling all over his face, stepped forward quickly. Looking at his cordial appearance, it seems that he and Bayin are old friends who have known each other for many years, rather than not for the first time.
"Willow ......"
Identifying the person, Bayin first showed surprise on his face, but before the smile on his face fully bloomed, he suddenly tightened his little face and asked in a strange manner, "Who are you?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Haitang and the others were all dumbfounded and embarrassed.
"I ......" Liu Xunyi was stunned, "Three days ago, we drank wine and ate meat together, gags, and ...... in that tavern"
When Liu Xunyi subconsciously stretched out his hand to the "tavern", his voice stopped abruptly. It turned out that the "tavern" had been destroyed in the fierce battle three days earlier, and now it is gone.
"It turned out to be you!" Bayin pursed his lips, looking disgusted and unanswered.
"This ......" Feng Tianba stepped forward and asked stupidly, "Lord Liu, are you...... Really friends with them?"
"Bayin, who's coming?"
Another inquiry came from the yurt, and Saihan limped in front of Liu Xunyi and the others on crutches.
"Grandpa, it's him!" Bayin pointed at Liu Xunyi and said angrily, "I don't know what he's doing here......"
"Don't be rude!" Saihan glared at the old man and reprimanded, "He and your big brother Su have worshiped Anda, and they are also your brothers, how can you not be big or small?"
"But he hurt Brother Su so badly......"
"When the guests come, why don't you prepare some barbecue with milk wine?" interrupted Saihan, "How did Grandpa teach you on weekdays? ”
"No, no, no......"
"You're welcome, you guys go with the boys!" Before Pan Yuyin and a few people were humble, Saihan had already urged Bayin to prepare wine and meat, and said with a light smile, "Mobei is not as good as the Central Plains, there are not so many ways to eat and drink, if the hospitality is not good, I hope to forgive my sins!"
"Since the seniors have spoken, you should be disrespectful, go!"
Under Liu Xunyi's eyes, Li Haitang, Pan Yuyin, Feng Tianba, and Wu Chan glanced at each other, and then followed Bayin towards the distance.
"Senior, my eldest brother ......"
"Su He is not here. Saihan led Liu Xunyi into the yurt and explained unhurriedly, "This afternoon, we accompanied him to the 'Naadam' venue, and after coming out, we parted ways. ”
"What?" Liu Xunyi was taken aback, and his eyes became more and more flustered.
"Sit down, sit down and talk slowly!" Saihan poured a cup of steaming milk tea for Liu Xunyi and soothed, "You are injured, don't drink alcohol tonight, only drink tea." ”
"Thank you senior!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly took the milk tea and asked anxiously, "Where did my eldest brother go?"
"I don't know. Saihan smiled bitterly, "Maybe go back to Chifengling, maybe go home, maybe ...... Go somewhere else. ”
"This ......" Liu Xunyi was so confused that he didn't know where to start for a while.
"Su He asked me to tell you before leaving, he is doing everything as usual, you don't have to worry about him. Saihan looked at the absent-minded Liu Xunyi with relief in his eyes, and said with emotion, "Su He swore before leaving, you will definitely come here to find him within three days." I didn't expect it to take less than three days, only three hours before you came. ”
"Senior, big brother, he...... Why go?"
"At the 'Naadam' conference, he personally admitted that he had lost to you in front of almost all the Mongolian magnates. The dignified 'No. 1 fast knife in Mobei' was defeated by a penniless Han man in the grassland, this kind of thing...... Not everyone has the courage to admit it. Since then, Su He's reputation in Mobei has been discredited, and his status in the hearts of the Great Khan and the prince has plummeted. He doesn't go himself...... Are you waiting for someone to blast him away?"
"This ......," Liu Xunyi said entangledly, "Since it is a competition, there are both losses and wins, how can it be pointed at by thousands of people because of defeat?"
"Others can be defeated, but Su He can't be defeated, especially when he loses to a Han man who is younger than him. Saihan sighed, "In a sense, Su He is no longer representing himself, but the leader and model of the young generation of the grassland." A person like him bears the honor and disgrace of the entire grassland, and even the rise and fall of the next generation of the grassland. Do you know that Su He's words are defeated today, and maybe tomorrow the rumors that there will be no successor in Mongolia will spread far and wide, and the world will know about it, and the trouble will be uproaring. ”
"This ......" It was only at this moment that Liu Xunyi really realized how huge the impact this incident had on Su He.
"But you can rest assured that although the Great Khan and the prince are dissatisfied with Su He, they will never make things difficult for him, let alone send people to hunt him down. Saihan said confidently, "After all, Su He is the pride of the grassland, and after he is a hero, the Great Khan and the prince are both wise and righteous Ming monarchs and sages, who hold the right path and will never act as a villain." ”
"There's one thing...... I've been haunted by it. Seeing my seniors treat me so honestly tonight, I really can't help the torture in my heart, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy. After hesitating again and again, Liu Xunyi finally said his heart.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Three days ago, I had that fight with my eldest brother, and finally ...... Am I really a little bit better?"
......
