Volume 1 The World Moves Chapter 35 Fall in love at first sight
The group rode on horses, and a carriage galloped north with some spare items. After walking for a few days, the green gradually became scarce, and they entered a desert land, where there were bare mountains and mounds as far as the eye could see. Song Heng and Deng Hozi originally talked a lot, but suddenly there were two more beauties around them, Qianqian and Pianpian, and they talked a lot along the way, and the group was not lonely.
Two or three days later, everyone crossed a sandy area and finally saw a green meadow and trees, and the leading Qin soldiers told Mi Yue that they had entered the Yiqu country.
Everyone rode horses and galloped for a while, and there were more than a dozen Yiqu people holding big knives, galloping towards them, Mi Yue signaled the soldiers of the Qin State to retreat, and the three of Mengying and apprentices blocked the front. When the Yiqu people came near, they howled and attacked as they shot arrows. Meng Ying and the others easily shot down the arrows and rode on their horses without moving. Seeing this, the Yiqu people galloped up to the crowd and stood up to their horses, paused for a moment, and then motioned to each other, slashing at them with knives.
Meng Ying and Guan Ri drew their swords and faced each other, killing most of them in a moment, and the rest wanted to run away when they saw that the situation was not good, but they were shot by Song Heng and Deng Hozi with one arrow and several others, leaving two of them to shoot the horses alone and roll down on the grass.
Several Qin soldiers went up and held down the two people, tied them up, and asked them to lead the way to the king of Yiqu. After this battle, Mi Yue restored the carriage of Mengying to its original shape, which turned out to be a three-person chariot specially made by the Mo family.
The crowd had been walking for an hour, and a group of soldiers came galloping towards them, about fifty men. The two sides met, and the Yiqu people led by them asked in Chinese:
"Who are you, and why are you kidnapping me?"
"Uncle is happy to tie people up today! I will tie up your Yiqu King later!" Song Heng shouted.
When the man heard this, he became angry, and shouted a few words at his team in Yiqu, and the soldiers immediately rushed to kill him.
The chariot then "swished" and fired repeaters, and the Yiqu people who rushed ahead rolled off their horses one by one.
In the middle of the Warring States period, there were no crossbows in the world, and where had the Yiqu people seen such a killing weapon, but they were still desperately rushing forward in horror. Seeing this, the leader signaled the people behind him to bypass the chariot and attack the others, and a few of them finally approached Mi Yue and the others, all of whom were easily dealt with by Mi Ri. Meng Ying then rushed towards the other party in a chariot, and the Yiqu people came and fell one by one, powerless in front of them. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader knew that he had met a master today, so he immediately whistled and retreated, leaving a dozen people to run fast and disappear after a while.
The man went back and reported to the king of Yiqu, who was furious when he heard this, and immediately led a team of men and horses himself.
This time, the king of Yiqu personally led a large group of men and horses, surrounded them in the middle, and then rode forward with great momentum, and shouted to Meng Ying and the others:
"You Qin people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, just a few people, dare to spread wild on my Yiqu grassland, do you want to find death?"
As King Yiqu spoke, a flock of geese flew overhead, and the geese flew very high and were not within the range of the steppe people's bows and arrows. Meng Ying immediately took out an iron bow, quickly mounted three iron arrows, and shot at the flock of geese overhead. At this time, the weather turned cold, it was the time when the wild geese flew south, and everyone saw the three wild geese in the air falling in response, and many people in the Yiqu team couldn't help but applaud in unison.
King Yiqu was horrified in his heart, looked at the inconspicuous little bow in Meng Ying's hand and thought, don't say that it is impossible to shoot three geese at the same time, even one. Mi Ri next to him was also secretly surprised when he saw it, and felt that this ink man's skill was really rare in the world.
"It may be difficult for us to escape the pursuit of so many people and horses of the Great King, but it is also a matter of moments to take your life!" Song Heng looked at King Yiqu, who was still stunned, and said coldly.
When King Yiqu heard Song Heng say this, he came back to his senses and thought, no matter how fast my horse is, it is not as fast as his arrow!
"If you have such a divine skill, I'm afraid it's not just someone who comes to my righteous canal to kill people for fun, right?"
"King Yiqu!" Mi Yue immediately stepped forward after hearing this:
"We're not here to kill, we're here to save people?"
"I, Yiqu, didn't detain a single soldier of your Qin State, who are you here to save?" King Yiqu wondered, and was secretly surprised when he saw three beauties coming forward.
"What we want to save is not my Great Qin people, but your Yiqu people!"
King Yiqu didn't understand, at this time the two countries were at war, King Yiqu thought about it, and said:
"You have come here to show off your might, and you have persuaded this king with beautiful women, are you here to persuade him to surrender?"
"Do you know this?" Mi Yue raised a piece of brocade silk in her hand, and the embroidery on it was the totem of the Ghost Fang Kingdom.
"How do you have this?" said King Yiqu in surprise. Since he is the king of Yiqu, he naturally knows something about the affairs of the Ghost Fang Kingdom.
"I'm here just to emulate Qin Mugong's actions in the past!
When King Yiqu heard this, he felt that there was a lot of truth in this matter, so he said politely:
"Please go to the big tent and talk!"
Then they followed the king of Yiqu and galloped towards the big tent, and in a short time they arrived. Mi Yue and Mi Ri entered the big tent, Meng Ying and others were waiting outside the tent, Song Heng quietly asked Deng Hozi:
"The arrow that Master shot just now, if it were you, would you be able to hit the wild goose with only one arrow?"
"It's hard, but it's possible!"
"yes, it looks like we're still far from it!"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, how can Master be our Master!"
"It's too godly! Don't say I've seen it, I've never heard of it in the world, and you can shoot three arrows at once!"
"You're the ones who attacked the Yuanhou Mansion that day, aren't you?"
Song Heng and Deng Hozi listened and smiled at each other proudly. In the big tent, King Yiqu sat down, Mi Yue took off her coat and met Yiqu at close range.
"May I ask what the beauty is called?" King Yiqu could see clearly at this time, and the person sitting opposite him was a stunning beauty, and he was surprised and secretly happy in his heart.
"I am the concubine of King Qin, the eighth son of Miyue!"
When King Yiqu heard that she was the woman of King Qin, his heart was half cold, and he said:
"If you are willing to come to my Yiqu, I will let you be the queen of my Yiqu country, if I lie, there is such a cup!" said a palm smashing a crude ceramic cup in front of him.
"Hahahaha┄┄" Mi Yue smiled and leaned forward, coquettish, and said:
If the king is sincere to Miyue, he will immediately stop the army, and don't let our two swords meet each other!"
"What's so difficult about this!" King Yiqu didn't think about it, and immediately ordered:
"General Chuan Huwei!"
"The king is really temperamental, Mi Yue likes it very much!" Mi Yue said as she threw a wink.
When King Yiqu saw it, he was fascinated, and his heart itched, and he completely forgot about the affairs of the ghost country. Seeing this, Mi Yue changed the topic:
"Let's get down to business! Since the Great Qin Mugong used the Divine Soldiers to defeat the Ghost Fang Country, the remnants of the Ghost Fang Country migrated westward, has the Great King heard any more news about the Ghost Fang Country?"
"Occasionally, there is some news that catches the wind and shadows, but there is no way to investigate, and it is spread amazingly, and it can't be true!"
"Oh, what did the king hear?"
"It's mostly related to the immortal body of the Ghost Fang Country, but the people of the Ghost Fang Country are now gathering in the Loulan City-State in the Western Regions, which seems to be true!"
"How far is the Loulan city-state from the Yiqu country?"
"I haven't been there either, I can't tell how far it is! Legend has it that in the north of Kunlun, there is a green space in the desert, which is the city-state of Loulan! There are heavy mountains to block, and if you are not familiar with the road, it is difficult to find!"
"Is it so far from Yiqu to my Chu country?" asked Mi Yue.
"It's just that it's hard to walk in the desert, and if you're not careful, you'll be buried in it, and few of my Yiqu people have ever been there!"
"If Mi Yue has the heart to go to the Loulan City-State, does the king have the courage to go with him?" Mi Yue said with a smile.
"Don't be kidding! I'm afraid you haven't seen the real desert yet, right? Look at the appearance of your delicate skin and tender meat, you can't cut it off!"
"The king of the Ghost Fang Kingdom will be resurrected every three hundred and sixty years, from Jiang Taigong to Qin Mugong has been resurrected once, and now I am afraid that it is time to resurrect again!"
"Isn't there such a thing as a beauty?" asked King Yiqu in surprise.
Mi Yue smiled and said nothing, and King Yiqu asked again:
"Since you are the concubine of King Qin, how do you know these secrets?"
"Mi Yue is a goddess of heaven who came down to save the Qin State and the king's Yiqu country, can the king believe Mi Yue's words?" Mi Yue said with a smile.
"Believe, I believe! There is no such beauty in the mortal world, what is it if it is not a heavenly maiden?" said King Yiqu categorically.
"If the king really believes, listen to me!" Mi Yue Zhengse said:
"If the king of the Ghost Fang is really resurrected, Yiqu and my Great Qin will suffer from it! The divine soldiers left by Jiang Taigong in the past no one knows where they have gone, and no one knows whether there are divine soldiers in the world, so how can we defeat the immortal soldiers of the Ghost Fang Kingdom?"
"Those are all legends, can't they be true?"
"Whether it's true or not, you Yiqu people know best! Why don't you ask the wizard of Yiqu how true or false is the matter of the Ghost Fang Kingdom?"
"Yes, you reminded me!" said to the people around him:
"Go and call the old witch!"
At this time, Tuoba Kui, the general of the Yiqu Kingdom, came in to meet the king of Yiqu, and the king of Yiqu ordered him:
"General Huwei obeys the order! From today onwards, withdraw all soldiers and horses, and no longer be enemies of Great Qin!"
"Tuoba Kui obeys!"
Tuoba Kui retreated, and Mi Yue smiled and said:
"The king is reasonable and decisive, which makes Mi Yue very admired!"
"Since the beauty admires this king, why don't you become the queen of this king, it is much better than being a little eighth son in the Qin country!"
"The little woman really admires the king! When the little woman came, she heard a lot of heroic deeds of the king, and the king is the person that women in the world yearn for! It's just that the little woman serves the king of Qin in front, and she can't help but abide by the woman's way!" Mi Yue said vaguely and ambiguously, and the king of Yiqu was also comfortable to listen to.
"You Central Plains people just love to bluff people with these shameful etiquette, my grassland woman loves and hates clearly, and has always only respected heroes, regardless of women!"
Although the woman is a little bluffing with women, what women are talking about is also the word "love", and love belongs to it, and it cannot be shaken!"
"That is true! If so, I will let you know my sincerity!"
"Today's king will really carefully collect it, and think of a way to find out the matter of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, this matter is not trivial! Mi Yue traveled thousands of miles to risk himself, but he didn't come for the king's sincerity!"
"Old Wu Zhu!" At this time, Old Wu Zhu came in, and King Yiqu beckoned to him.
"Wu Zhu meets the king!"
"Let me ask you, how much do you know about the Ghost Fang Country?"
"It is Wu Zhu's mission to solve problems for the king, but the king has questions, and the old Wu Zhu knows everything!"
"In the past, the ancestors fought for land with the Ghost Fang Country and the Pig Country, and the immortal soldiers of the Ghost Fang Country were true or false?
"It's true! The immortal soldier is caused by the physiognomy of the Western Regions, and witchcraft can also create an immortal body, but witchcraft is caused by illusion and can often be cracked; the immortal soldier created by physiognomy is invulnerable, especially above witchcraft, and it is difficult for people who are not supernatural to crack it!"
"Great Qin Mugong repelled the ghost soldiers of the Ghost Fang Country with divine soldiers, this matter is not far away, I have also heard about it, how does Old Wu Zhu comment on this divine soldier?" King Yiqu asked again.
"The origin of the divine soldiers and the ghost soldiers are the same, they are all made of physiognomy, one god and one ghost, one yin and one yang, completely different, and called 'the art of different phases', known as 'spirit phase' and 'ghost phase'!
"Well, the old witch wishes that he is really knowledgeable and has extraordinary experience!"
"I'm afraid that the physiognomy that Wu Zhu said is a little different from my Central Plains 'Spiritual Physiognomy'! Since Jiang Taigong, the Physiognomy technique has been sublimated several times, and it is already very different from the physiognomy of the Western Regions!" Mi Yue interjected.
When the old witch heard this, he looked at the beautiful woman beside him, his face showed disgust, and then asked:
"Who are you, and how do you know anything like that?"
"I am not only a person in the palace, but also a person in the rivers and lakes, Wu Zhu doesn't have to be surprised, I am here to save Yiqu!"
"Hmph!" Old Wu Zhu seemed to dislike Mi Yue very much, and he didn't say much, and then said to King Yiqu:
"If the king is fine, I will step down!"
"Let's go down!" King Yiqu waved his hand to tell him to retreat, and then said to Mi Yue:
"What is the ability of that Yingsi, I have the help of your baby, if I Zhai Li can get the help of beauties, I will definitely dominate the Quartet and gallop the world!"
"Hehe, the king has won the prize! Today's king is also the king who dominates the side and is feared by everyone!" Mi Yue smiled slightly.
"Since you are from the rivers and lakes, why did you enter the palace of King Qin again?" King Yiqu said curiously.
"This matter is a long story, it is only because of this ghost country that the family teacher made Mi Yue enter the palace! If the current ghost country monarch has been resurrected, how will the king deal with it?"
"Yes! Although my Yiqu people are brave and resolute, they will never be able to win against the immortal ghost soldiers! Zhai Li is willing to listen to the drive of the beauty, but the beauty has something to ask, and I Zhai Li will never disobey it in this life!" King Yiqu said loudly, Mi Yue met him for the first time, and she was really moved by this sentence.
"Mi Yue thanked the king first! Today, I and the others are also a little tired, the king will arrange for me to wait for a rest!" Mi Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she did feel a little tired at this time.
"Okay! Just sit here for a while, this king will arrange it personally!" Zhai Li said, and really got up and went to arrange the accommodation and rest of Miyue and his party in person.
King Yiqu finished arranging the accommodation of Miyue and the others, and just sat down in the big tent, the old witch Zhu came again. Zhai Li saw that the old witch wanted to speak and stopped, stood silent, and asked:
"Wu Zhu, but you have something to say to this king?"
"The king must not approach this woman! This woman's body is full of demonic energy, if the king gets close to her, I am afraid that it will be harmful to the king's longevity!"
"Hahahaha! If this king can get this beauty, he would rather live a life with all his heart, but it's a pity that he is the concubine of King Qin, but not this king can get close!" Zhai Li didn't understand the meaning of Wu Zhu's words, and mistakenly thought that what he said was detrimental to Yangshou was because he was close to women.
"This woman is not an ordinary woman, Wu Zhu is afraid that the king will be burdened by it, please be cautious!"
"What the old witch said is good! How can such a beauty be an ordinary woman? I Zhai Li is willing to be burdened by it!" Zhai Li said with his eyebrows fluttering, not taking the old witch wish's words to heart at all.
Zhai Li didn't understand what Lao Wu Zhu meant by 'Extraordinary Woman', Lao Wu Zhu listened to it, and knew that he couldn't persuade him at the moment, so he had to sigh and go out.
In the evening, King Yiqu prepared a singing and dancing party for Miyue and his party. Mi Yue rested for two hours, regained her mental strength, and then took everyone to the banquet.
At this time, the autumn is high and cool, the cold air of the grassland at night is mixed with the heat of the bonfire, and the fragrance of food is mixed with the smell of grass, which makes Miyue and others in it feel full of spirit.
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many days when they get together to be lively with each other, so the grassland people are very hospitable! At the time of the party, people are relatively casual, they move around each other frequently, their words are bold, and there are not many polite etiquettes of the Central Plains people, and the atmosphere will be lively after a while. Several grassland girls pulled Song Heng and Deng hoe up to dance, and the two twisted and pinched, but they couldn't resist each other's enthusiasm, so they had to get up and dance with them.
Some grassland men drank a lot of milk wine, and took advantage of the wine to start wrestling and fighting. Zhai Li saw that his hands were itchy, so he also got up and went off the court to play with the warriors. When everyone saw the king go into battle in person, they were all elated, more and more excited, and the shouts were endless, which was very lively. Zhai Li won three games in a row, and someone proposed that King Yiqu and Mengying wrestle with each other, and Zhai Li also took advantage of the wine to tease Mengying to compete.
Seeing that the scene was lively and casual, Meng Ying also put down his identity as a hero, entered the field, and said with a smile:
"Come on!"
King Yiqu put on a good posture, Meng Ying stood still, King Yiqu pounced when he saw this, Meng Ying suddenly turned around, and King Yiqu intervened, and gently pushed his hand, King Yiqu couldn't stand, and threw himself forward to the ground, and everyone laughed.
"It's not fair, it's not fair!" King Yiqu said unconvinced:
"The heroes are clever, but they don't conform to the rules of my prairie people!"
"But the king wants to fight with Zaixia?" Meng Ying also let go at this time and asked with a smile.
"Exactly! Let's compare our strength!" King Yiqu thought to himself that although your archery skills are magical, I will not lose to you in this matter of strength.
"That's easy, the king chooses eight warriors, take a rope, the nine of you hold one end, and I can hold the other end!" Meng Ying said.
When everyone heard this, many people were not happy, didn't they look down on people? For a while, there was a lot of discussion on the field, and everyone said different things, and the king of Yiqu was even more unconvinced, so he shouted loudly:
"Go and get the rope! This king wants to see if there are still manpower in this world who can't beat him!"
Mi Yue also looked energetic on the side, looking at these five big and three rough grassland reckless men, she sweated for Mengying in her heart.
Soon someone brought a rope, tied a piece of fur in the middle of the rope, and let the crowd start the race.
King Yiqu and the others knew that this Mengying was not an ordinary person, although it was nine against one, they did not dare to be careless, and they all worked hard to prepare for the competition. Meng Ying is alone here, and she has also put on a posture.
At this time, the bonfire burned more and more, the fire was bright, and the dancers stopped, and the people around them were full of people, watching in circles.
"Beauty, you call it start!" said King Yiqu to Mi Yue.
"Let's go!" Mi Yue then exclaimed, and her heart was also extremely happy.
The nine strong men worked together, but Meng Ying here did not move. The nine people shouted loudly, and the rope swayed from side to side, but they couldn't pull it over at all.
There was a lot of discussion outside the venue, and some of them shouted and shouted, and they seemed to be exerting themselves. A few people were so anxious that they stomped their feet, and they couldn't help each other, and shouted while making a gesture of pulling the rope hard.
The firelight was reflected on Meng Ying's face, Mi Yue and the others could see it clearly, Meng Ying smiled, obviously there was still room for power. King Yiqu was exerting his strength, and suddenly found that the other party was unhurried, so he let go of his hand and left the rope:
"Don't pull, don't pull, this king admits defeat!"
"Before the winner is decided, why did the king admit defeat?" said Mi Yue.
"The man of God ┄ ┄ is a man of God, and we and other mortals can compare!" King Yiqu panted.
"God-man, God-man!" the people next to him shouted after hearing this, and then knelt down one after another and bowed to Meng Yin.
"Everyone, Mobai, this is ┄┄" Meng Ying was about to explain, someone next to him pulled his clothes, Meng Ying turned his head and saw that it was Mi Yue, only to hear Mi Yue continue:
"This is my Central Plains Jiang Taigong's divine soldier general, who is here to help you Yiqu people deal with the ghost soldiers of the Ghost Fang Country!"
Meng Ying was shocked, and then she also understood what Mi Yue meant, only to hear Mi Yue continue:
"In the past, my Great Qin Mugong helped you Yiqu people defeat the ghost soldiers, and it was the divine soldiers and heavenly generals left by Jiang Taigong! Now the dead ghost monarch is about to be resurrected, I hope that the Yiqu people and my Great Qin will work together to fight the enemy together, and don't attack each other again!"
"Let's listen to the fairy girl!" someone next to him shouted, and then there was a chorus of echoes.
Miyue recovered Yiqu, and then followed the king of Yiqu to enjoy the grassland and desert scenery, and stayed in Yiqu for two days, preparing to return to the Great Qin Kingdom.
King Yiqu reluctantly sent Miyue away, and discussed with Miyue that he would send someone to the Loulan city-state to explore the way and inquire about the true news of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, so as to prepare for their next step to go to Loulan in person.
