"Don't catch the whip when you get on the horse, but fold the willow branches. Playing the flute, worrying about killing travelers. A few lines of sentimental folk songs, gently and melodiously floating on the ancient silk road to the Han Dynasty, these few lines of folk songs came from the mouth of a young man who saw off relatives and friends. The folk song he recited was the poem "Folding Willow Songs" in the Han Dynasty's "Yuefu Poetry Collection", expressing a kind of parting feeling between relatives and friends. Although the folk song he recited was only four short sentences, the mood of parting with others, the sorrow and the customs of farewell at that time were vividly depicted.

The man who recited the folk song was Li Ling's eighth-generation grandson Tuoba Jie, at this time, he was seeing off his sister Tuoba Xue, the Han Dynasty Tianzhu Shan Danding sent Fang Shi Zuo Ci Daxia and his father-in-law Dou Tianzhi off.

After many hardships, Tuoba Jie finally found the family heirloom mandarin duck copper lock, found his sister Tuoba Xue, and avenged his parents, all of this, like a mystery from another world, let him experience too long years, from childhood to adulthood he was looking forward to returning to the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, solving this mystery, when he came to the Xiongnu to solve the truth, among them, there were twists and turns and complexities that he did not expect at the beginning.

When this group of people rode past Tuoba Hui's former general's mansion, Tuoba Jie saw that the old home was still there, and the red walls and green tiles had lost the vermilion and green tiles of the year, leaving behind the loneliness of no human world, looking so lonely and lonely.

He sat on the back of his horse, looked up at the three big characters of "General's Mansion", and couldn't help but feel in his heart, the catastrophe 15 years ago caused him to lose his home, and where will his home be in the future? Stepfather Dou Tianzhi urged Ma back and reminded him to leave as soon as possible. He looked at the former general's mansion affectionately, and then hit the horse like a fly and caught up with everyone.

This group of people left Kangju, the capital of the Xiongnu State, walked nearly ten miles away, and arrived at a secluded place, where they dismounted to rest. Tuoba Jie tidied up his clothes, walked up to Dou Tianzhi and asked respectfully, "Father-in-law, how should I explain to Murong Lan?"

Dou Tianzhi patted Tuoba Jie's shoulder and said with a smile: "Male husband, how can you be disappointed?" Tuoba Jie nodded in response: "Hmm!" A look of joy appeared on his face. Then, he took out the mandarin duck copper lock from his arms, came to Tuoba Xue, took his sister's hand, handed the copper lock to his sister and said: "Xue'er, this is the martial arts that our Tuoba family has passed down from generation to generation, bring it back to the Han Dynasty, remember, it will be passed on to the descendants of the Han Dynasty." ”

Tuoba Xue held the mandarin duck copper lock in both hands, her eyes were firm and powerful, and she immediately responded: "Brother, don't worry, this is an unusual copper lock that my father and mother saved with their lives, I must protect it!" Tuoba Jie smiled and looked in the direction of the Han Dynasty, a flock of geese flew overhead, and the sky was blue and blue、、、、、、

Looking at the ancient silk road where the group went away, Tuoba Jie sat on horseback, and then remembered the "Song of Folding Willows" in this "Yuefu Poetry Collection", and immediately lingered for a long time, until he couldn't see the figure, a gust of cold wind hit, he shivered slightly, and then turned the horse's head and went straight to the north city of Yunzhong to meet Murong Lan.

At this time, Murong Lan had been waiting in Yunzhong Beicheng for a day and a night, and finally heard the officers and soldiers come to report that Tuoba Jie had returned, she was surprised and delighted, and ran out first. Seeing Tuoba Jie walking towards her step by step, she quickly stretched out her arm, grabbed Tuoba Jie's hand, put it next to her cheek, her eyes were full of affection, two lines of tears rolled down, and she said with concern: "You、、、、、、 you are finally back!"

With a crying grievance in his tone, Tuoba Jie was grateful and pitying, gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and comforted softly: "I'm not good, don't worry!" Murong Lan's cheeks turned crimson and whispered: "I care about your safety, besides、、、、、、 besides, I am your fiancée, you can't come back because of this, how can I live?"

Tuoba Jie smiled happily and asked, "If I really can't come back, then what are you going to do?" Murong Lan bowed slightly, blushing and said, "If you really can't come back, then I will die with you!" Hearing this, Tuoba Jie showed infinite gratitude, held Murong Lan's hand tightly, and called in a low voice: "Sister Lan!" The two looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, let the twilight twilight, their figures were gradually dyed red by the sunset, and even their hair was red, as if they were going to turn the two people into sunset.

The two looked at each other for a long time before entering the house. After taking a seat, Murong Lan asked, "When will we go back to the Xianbei Murong clan?" My brother has already sent someone to send a letter, saying that there is something to discuss. Tuoba Jie said: "Let's rest our men and horses and return to the Xianbei Murong tribe immediately." ”

Murong Lan said: "What about your sister and father-in-law and that Zuo Daxia?" Tuoba Jie said: "They went back to the Han Dynasty, otherwise how could I be the only one who came back?" Murong Lan seemed to be distracted when she heard these words, and suddenly asked softly: "Brother Dou, can you tell me about your affairs in the Han Dynasty?" Tuoba Jie looked at Murong Lan's slightly smiling face, and thought: "The family heirloom mandarin duck copper lock has been found and brought back to the Han Dynasty, Murong Lan has always been in love with me, I can't hide anything from her." ”

Thinking of this, he looked at Murong Lan and said, "Sister Lan, my real name is Tuoba Jie, fifteen years ago, Tuoba Hui of the Xiongnu Kingdom was my father. Murong Lan suddenly got up and stared at him, and asked in surprise, "Are you worried that my brother and I will snatch your family's heirloom mandarin duck copper lock without telling your real name?"

Tuoba Jie took Murong Lan's hand closely, and said sincerely: "At that time, things were very complicated, I came to the Xiongnu, not only to find the mandarin duck copper lock that was passed down home, but also to find my parents and sister, when I met you, I didn't have a clue, I didn't want you to worry about my brother!"

Murong Lan understood at the moment, suddenly cried, and said with concern: "You 、、、、、、 you don't let me worry, but you take the risk yourself." Brother Jay. I'm more worried about you now!" Tuoba Jie held her hand and whispered, "I'm fine now, there is no danger, and now I still have you by my side." Murong Lan's heart was hot, and she couldn't say anything anymore. Lowering her head shyly, she said again: "When we return to the Xianbei Murong tribe, we will tell my brother your true identity, and let him know that you are the son of Tuoba Hui, the left general of the Xiongnu State, and my brother will be happy!"

Tuoba Jie nodded, looked at Murong Lan affectionately, and said happily: "Okay!" Then he went back to the room to rest.

Three days later, Murong Lan arranged for the generals to guard the northern city of Yunzhong, and then packed up with Tuoba Jie and returned to the Xianbei Murong tribe.

From the northern city of Yunzhong to the Xianbei Murong tribe, a distance of several hundred miles, these two people hurried up, and at dusk the next day, they returned to the Murong tribe, and the soldiers had already reported to Murong Detao,

He was very happy that his sister and the sworn virtuous brother had returned, and this virtuous brother would become his brother-in-law again, one was a good thing to kiss and kiss, and the other was that this virtuous brother was strong in martial arts, and could be a good helper for his powerful Murong clan. Happy, he personally went out to greet his sister and brother.

At this time, Tuoba Jie and Murong Lan dismounted early, and when they saw Murong Detao, Tuoba Jie approached and said, "Brother Yi, I'm back." ”

Murong Detao smiled heartily and said, "Brother Xian, this will be your home in the future, don't be polite." The two exchanged pleasantries and entered the tent. After sitting down, Murong Lan looked at Tuoba Jie, and then said with a smile to Murong Detao: "Brother, I have a secret to tell you!" Murong Detao felt funny, he knew that his sister was a girl who didn't like to joke, and he hadn't seen his sister for a few days, why suddenly, as if he had changed a person, he asked in surprise: "What secret?" Murong Lan's face was mysterious, he pointed at Tuoba Jie with his hand, bowed his head and muttered: "Brother, his real name is Tuoba Jie, and he is the son of Tuoba Hui, the left general of the Xiongnu State fifteen years ago. ”

After hearing this, Murong Detao was stunned for a moment, his eyes stared at Tuoba Jie, and asked as if he was verifying: "Brother Xian, is this true?" Tuoba Jie nodded and said, "Brother Yi, it's true." Murong Detao came to Tuoba Jie's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said in surprise: "General Zuo Tuoba Hui is half of the Xiongnu country, and it is really my Murong Detao's third life to be able to make friends with his son Babai." My sister will marry you again, this is really my Murong family's glorious appearance of the sun and the moon, and the virtue of heaven and earth!"

Tuoba Jie was happy in his heart, smiled at Murong Detao, and said: "Thank you Brother Yi for looking up to Tuoba Jie, in the future, Brother Yi has a place where he needs a virtuous brother, just say it directly." Murong Detao laughed, and his mood was suddenly very comfortable. Several people chatted for a while, and it was almost midnight, and Tuoba Jie and Murong Lan went back to the tent to rest.
